Third floor.

The gray-robed old man walked to the window, opened the corner of the curtain that had never been opened, looked through the transparent glass window, and fell on the green plants not far away.

The reason is very simple, because the aura of heaven and earth is the most prosperous here, and the main reason for the most prosperity is the owner of the immortal root who is locked up in the basement all the year round.

Now, the benefits of adding another immortal root owner can be imagined, and the excitement in the heart of the gray-robed old man has not faded until now.

"Tell me, what's going on with the Ilo?"

The gray-robed old man asked with his back to the two.

Ai Hong and Chu Feng knelt on the ground, the former glancing at the latter, and then told the reason why the spiritual fluid disappeared after he woke up.

Chu Feng lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"The spiritual liquid was placed on the table, and suddenly it was gone? The gray-robed old man frowned.

"Who else is there in this villa but him!?" said Ai Hong.

The gray-robed old man turned to look at Chu Feng and said gently: "Feng'er, if you take it, as long as you tell the truth, I won't blame you as a teacher." Speaking of which, the villa was still given by your father, and with more than ten years of filial piety, it is nothing to give you an extra bottle of spiritual liquid. ”

Chu Feng smiled bitterly: "Master, it's really not me, how can I hide it from Ai with my ability... Masters. ”

The gray-robed old man groaned with a deep expression, and the two of them said their own words, even he couldn't tell who was real and who was fake for a while, the spiritual liquid refining was very complicated, and it was also a rare thing for him.

"It's not you, joke, is there anyone else in the villa!" said the woman in red angrily.

Others?

The gray-robed old man's eyes flashed slightly, naturally there were other people, but he was locked in the ground with fine iron and firmly locked, and he also sealed the mana with a spell ban, just now he came up from the basement, of course it couldn't be them.

Security door to the basement.

Xu Fan paid attention to the movement on the third floor, and at the same time repeated the old trick, using mana to open the security door, I have to say that the lock of this security door is much tighter than the lock of the villa gate, and the door is also a lot heavier, just opening the door took several seconds.

Dodging into the basement, Xu Fan slowly closed the door without making a sound.

"It's so dark, will Xi Jie be here?"

There was not a single ray of light inside, and although my eyesight had improved greatly, I could barely see some rough outlines.

"Fortunately, I brought a universal mobile phone, so I don't have to waste mana. ”

Xu Fan turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and covered the light with his fingers, only a few small rays of light appeared, so that he could barely see the surroundings clearly by the light, and not let the light shine too far, before coming in, he turned the mobile phone to silent mode, in some TV series, the plot set by unscrupulous screenwriters, the mobile phone often reminds the enemy in times of crisis, Xu Fan naturally will not make such a small mistake.

As we walked down the passage, the air became colder and more damp, and a foul smell gradually became stronger.

Suddenly, he heard a faint voice.

"Demons... Lord... It's not good to die..."

Could it be Xi Jie's voice?

Shocked, Xu Fan turned off the flashlight of his mobile phone, and from beginning to end, he acted extremely carefully and did not make any sound.

It didn't take long for Xu Fan to reach the bottom.

The evil breath and dampness that came to the face made people extremely uncomfortable.

Xu Fan mobilized his mana to his eyes, and the dark surroundings immediately brightened a little, and when he saw the scene in the lower room clearly, his face changed drastically, and the corners of his eyes almost cracked.

Two people lying on the ground with their limbs chained, one of them had long dirty hair and dense lines all over his body, and a faint curse came from his mouth.

And the other person, who was Xi Jie, was motionless, as if he was dead.

"Xi Jie!"

At this moment, Xu Fan couldn't control his mood anymore, and hurriedly came to Xi Jie's side, and after a little check, his heartbeat and snort were still there, but he couldn't even compare to a normal person, but fortunately, he could sense the residual mana in his body to protect himself.

Even screamed a few times, Xi Jie showed no signs of waking up, Xu Fan was anxious, but he didn't dare to use mana to treat Xi Jie.

He asked his mind in his heart, but the answer he received was that he lacked strength and had no healing spells available.

"You have to take Xi Jie out of here right away. ”

Xu Fan grabbed the chain on Xi Jie's hand with both hands, but no matter how hard he tried, even if he mobilized the mana of his whole body, he couldn't do anything with the chain.

"No... It's useless..."A weak voice came from beside him, and the other man had turned his head, a pair of slightly shining eyes in his dirty hair.

Xu Fan's heart sank and he looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"It's useless... The chain is... It's made of fine iron... Unless the strength reaches the late stage of condensation... Otherwise—" The man gasped as he spoke.

Late stage of condensation?

Xu Fan didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from deducing the meaning of these two words from the other party's context.

"Do you have a way?" asked Xu Fan.

The man laughed to himself, and spoke more and more smoothly: "If only I had a way... I've already left this hellish place..."He stared at Xu Fan, "It's not easy... A mere layer of condensation... I was able to sneak in here from under the nose of Old Demon Yin... Hey, you're also the owner of the Immortal Root... No wonder..."

Xu Fan was furious when he saw it, this person's eyes were dark and sharp in his weakness, as if he could see through his secrets, and he had guessed the truth even though he didn't ask him anything.

"Don't be afraid... I have no ill will towards you, and it is impossible to have any malice, but you have to be careful, just because you are the owner of the immortal root, once you are discovered by Old Demon Yin, you will inevitably end up with the same fate as me. ”

Old Demon Yin, is it the old man who cast the spell just now? Xu Fan twisted his eyebrows, the old mana's mana far surpassed him.

"Why did he arrest the owner of the immortal root?" Xu Fan was puzzled.

"You don't know?" the man was slightly stunned, didn't ask more, and continued: "Immortal root owners are rare in the world, and the speed at which we absorb the aura of heaven and earth is ten or even a hundred times that of ordinary immortal cultivators. Do you know what an immortal root owner is to an ordinary immortal cultivator?"

Xu Fan shook his head.

"Spirit stones, they regard the owner of the immortal root as a spirit stone, a steady stream of spirit stones, we absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but they easily take it away, and treat us as captive livestock, as soon as the time comes, they will cut the meat. ”

The words spoken by that man were sensational, and Xu Fan felt his scalp tingle, and he never imagined that it would be like this. In fact, when Xi Jie was arrested, he didn't have any special worries, and even guessed whether Xi Jie would be forcibly accepted as an apprentice by some immortal cultivator.

Xi Jie's appearance, could it be because he was sucked away of his mana? Xu Fan became more and more worried.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine, Old Demon Yin is reluctant to let him die. Before Old Demon Yin found out, I advise you to leave quickly and think of a good way to save us again. The man urged, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
