In the dim moonlight, a slender figure sped through the jungle path.

From the footsteps that did not hesitate, it could be seen that the owner of Qianying was in a hurry.

After running like this for a long time, the figure suddenly stopped.

She turned her head to look at a boulder beside the road, and pressed her finger to the hilt of her sword.

"Slash!"

Just heard a coquettish sound, and the sword light flashed.

The boulder that had stood here for an unknown number of years was cut in half in response.

"Hoo ......"

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief and let the moonlight scatter down her face in the shade of the trees.

And the slight curvature of the corners of her mouth adds a bit of quiet beauty to this moonlit night.

"The fourth-order advanced level of the dark power, it's really powerful. ”

Putting the sword into its sheath, Fiona nodded faintly.

"I didn't expect it to be just one level worse, and the power was so much worse. ”

The severe injuries caused by the thunder that day kept her in bed for seven days, and she was depressed on the bed for seven days.

She is very clear about her physical condition, if such a serious injury is to be put into practice, it will take at least half a year to recuperate, and it is difficult to say whether she can recover to her previous strength.

However, under the recuperation of Baron Roy's decoction and pills, it only took seven days for her to recover as before, and even the barrier that had blocked her from the fourth-order advanced level for two years was inexplicably broken.

This is something she didn't expect.

The way the blood clan cultivates is different from that of other races, they rely on absorbing the dark power in the essence blood of the demonic beast to improve their own strength.

After the blood clan obtains the essence blood of the demonic beast, it will refine the essence blood for its own absorption and inhale it into the body, slowly refining it in the heart vein, and the remaining essence blood will be put into the blood pool to continue refining and purifying. Generally, people with a little strength will build a blood pool at home, and the offerings of families like Fiona are distributed to them by the elders of the family according to the situation from the blood pool of the family.

To put it simply, for example, if your current realm is the fourth order of dark power, then you only need to absorb a drop of essence blood that can raise the dark power to the fifth order. This drop of essence blood full of dark power is stored in the heart veins on weekdays, and if you refine it a little every day, then the dark power in your body will be filled a little. Until you completely absorb this essence blood full of fifth-order dark power, then your strength has reached the fifth-order dark power.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

Let's just say that this refining essence blood, that is a dangerous anomaly. And absorbing the dark power in the essence and blood requires hard work every day.

Fiona is talented and hardworking, and it took her three years to advance to the fourth order of dark power. And it took five years to advance from the fourth order of the dark power to the intermediate level.

But then again, Fiona is considered to be a fast advance among the blood clans. Stuck in the fourth order of the dark power for decades without making any progress, there are a lot of people.

Fiona had a good idea of her cultivation progress, originally she thought that it would take at least ten years to advance to the advanced level, but who knew that after being seriously injured, her cultivation did not regress, but instead advanced inexplicably.

The night breeze slowly brushed the delicate face, and Fiona's smile on the corner of her mouth became stronger and stronger.

Looking at the glorious incision on the boulder, the smiling face of that person appeared in her mind again.

She had a feeling that her promotion this time was directly related to the pill refined by Li Yanbei.

But when she thought about it, she felt ridiculous about her ridiculous idea.

If this waste second young master of his own family wants to have this ability, then he must not be robbed by major forces?

Being able to increase the speed of cultivation and break the barriers of cultivation is unheard of in this Dark Empire, even in the entire Dark Light Continent, it is like a myth of the Arabian Nights.

Thinking of this, Fiona chuckled and shook her head.

Looking at the bright cold moon in the night sky, she lifted her steps and continued to run forward.

Within a moment, the slender figure slowly disappeared into the night.

The night breeze blew gently, and a few boundless fallen trees fell down the quiet path in the forest.

The boulder stood quietly in place, its smooth incision reflecting the cold glow of the moon.

Suddenly, the wind on the trail tightened a little.

A figure appeared strangely in front of the boulder.

Looking at the boulder neatly divided into two halves, Genos's face turned slightly pale.

When he touched the incision in the boulder with his hand, his pupils constricted slightly.

"Dark Power Fourth Order Advanced. ”

He turned his head thoughtfully in the direction of Fiona's departure, his hands gradually tightening.

"It's a little tricky......"

......

In the hall of the Baron Roy castle, several delicate side dishes are placed on the table.

Li Yanbei wore an apron and hummed a little song, and brought out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen.

"This dead girl, just after the injury, she ran around. ”

With a chuckle, Li Yanbei shook his head leisurely.

"But she's a good eater, and she eats it when she gets home. ”

Today is the first day that Fiona has recovered from her injuries, and she has been impatient after seven days in bed. When she got up in the morning, Li Yanbei had just told her that she could act at will, and this little girl couldn't wait to run out of the door, and went to the auction house in Black Rock City to see if there were any good medicinal materials.

In fact, Li Yanbei knows that this little girl is unwilling to owe others a little favor.

She rushed to Black Rock City in such a hurry, in fact, she wanted to buy some precious medicinal materials to give to Li Yanbei, so that she could take care of this favor for seven days.

It was getting late, and Li Yanbei estimated that Fiona should be back soon. He wiped his hands with his apron and lit the candlesticks on the table.

Today is different from the past, although Li Yanbei is still relatively poor, but since surviving the thunderstorm, Fiona's attitude towards him has changed greatly, and his economic conditions have also improved.

The last time she went back to Hearthstone to buy the Blue Wolf Thorns, Fiona returned to the family's silver merchant house to withdraw a sum of money, and after buying the Blue Wolf Thorns, there happened to be dozens of silver coins left, so Li Yanbei's food expenses have been abundant during this time.

Li Yanbei pulled out the cork of the red wine, and then poured it into the decanter.

He roughly estimated the time, and the wine would wake up just right when Fiona returned.

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Yanbei carefully placed the knife and fork.

Just as he was standing up, his ears suddenly moved slightly.

"Huh?"

Li Yanbei looked at the closed door of the hall, his eyes sank.

"Light footsteps, even breath. This person is much stronger than Fiona. ”

Tilting his head, Li Yanbei looked thoughtful.

"What are these masters doing here......?"

Before Li Yanbei could think about it, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open.

A burly figure appeared on the other end of the dining table in the hall.

"Baron Roy. ”

The visitor's face was covered with a messy beard, and his brown eyes showed a faint disdain.

"Nice to meet you. ”

Looking at this bearded man, Li Yanbei was a little confused.

"Who are you?"

The bearded man pulled over a chair and sat down unceremoniously.

He looked at Li Yanbei with a bewildered face, and there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm the head deacon of the Blackstone City Deacons in the Dark Corner, North. ”

Li Yanbei stretched out his hand and shrugged his shoulders, and asked with an innocent expression,

"Darkness?"

Looking at Li Yanbei's expression, North's breathing stagnated slightly.

He originally thought that by saying the word 'dark curtain', he would be able to scare the second son of the waste in front of him into trembling and urinating, but now looking at this, Baron Roy was not frightened by the name of the dark curtain.

Frowning slightly, North spoke,

"Baron Roy, didn't you hear clearly?"

Li Yanbei blinked.

"Huh, what didn't you hear clearly?"

North's face sank, and his eyes flashed with a faint killing intent.

"As I said, I'm the chief deacon of the Dark Veil. ”

"Oh oh oh, hello, hello. ”

Li Yanbei was stunned, and then nodded stupidly.

"You... Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Li Yanbei's stunned appearance, North couldn't help but sneer.

The word dark curtain in the Dark Empire represents killing and blood, generally as long as the person in the dark curtain identifies, it will either kill people or cause lifelong disabilities, and the entire Dark Empire does not know this rule of the dark curtain.

But the Baron Roy in front of him didn't take it seriously at all.

Could it be that he is really stupid and smoking?

"Lord Roy. ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and North's eyes flashed.

"Are you really an idiot, or are you playing dumb?"

Li Yanbei looked at North stupidly, like a big idiot.

"Lord North, I really don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Heh......"

Shaking his head slowly, North seemed to be a little crying and laughing.

"You're so lovely. ”

To deal with such a waste guy, it must be a joke of the Dark Empire if he wants to take action from the fifth order of the Dark Power himself.

Sighing lightly, North looked at Li Yanbei arrogantly and said,

"Whether you're really stupid or pretending to be stupid, I'm here to do one thing, and I'll leave when I'm done. ”

Li Yanbei suddenly grinned.

"What are you going to do, Lord North, can I help?"

"Of course. ”

A grim smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and North took out a small porcelain vase and threw it over.

"As long as you eat this, you'll do me a favor. ”

Catching the small porcelain bottle, Li Yanbei poured out the pills inside.

The pungent sour smell and the blue-blue surface of the elixir made Li Yanbei cover his nose for a while.

"I'll go, Lord North. Is this something for human consumption?"

North snorted, a cold glow in his eyes.

"Lord Roy, if you have trouble swallowing, then I'll help you. ”

Seeing the malicious sneer on the corner of North's mouth, Li Yanbei hurriedly smiled.

"No, no, how dare you work, I'll come by myself, come by myself. ”

After saying this, Li Yanbei swallowed the Spirit Eclipse Pill in one gulp.

"I'll ......"

Li Yanbei coughed violently a few times, and his face was bitter.

"What kind of medicine is this, so bitter. ”

Seeing that Li Yanbei obediently ate the Spirit Eclipse Pill, North nodded with satisfaction.

"This is the medicine that will make you never have to worry about it again in this life. ”

Li Yanbei suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see. ”

With a sincere smile on his face, Li Yanbei seemed to be very grateful.

"Thank you, Lord North, would you like to go back after dinner here?"

North shook his head slowly.

"No need, I'll leave when the medicine takes effect, there are still a lot of things to do in the deacon's office. ”

The courteous and flattering expression on Li Yanbei's face suddenly stagnated, but then it bloomed again.

"Lord North, you're a waste of time here......"

North waved his hand to interrupt Li Yanbei's words.

"It's okay, what I have today is time. ”

Looking at the undisguised disdain in North's eyes, the stupid smile on Li Yanbei's face slowly dissipated.

He looked at North faintly, his gaze gradually cold and deep.

"Your uncle's ......"

Seeing Li Yanbei show such an expression, the corners of North's mouth set off a sarcastic arc.

"What's the matter, my Lord Baron Roy. ”

He looked at Li Yanbei lightly, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Yanbei raised his chin slightly.

"Lord North, I don't know if you've heard of such a phrase. ”

North raised an eyebrow, a look of nonchalance on his face.

"Oh? ”

Li Yanbei smiled faintly.

"There is a saying that people leave a line and see each other in the future. ”

Hearing this, North felt as if he had heard some extremely funny joke.

"Leave a line? ”

He smiled and shook his head, looking at Li Yanbei's eyes as if he was looking at a funny clown.

"My creed in life is to kill everything and never leave a future trouble, leave a line?"

"Hey, it's a joke. ”

Hearing this, the light smile on Li Yanbei's face slowly dissipated.

In those cold eyes, a light like frost shone out.

"It seems that we have nothing more to talk about. ”

North sneered, the viciousness and coldness in his eyes growing.

"Tell the truth, Lord Baron, if you don't have a good father, you wouldn't be worthy to speak to me at all. It will be as easy for me to kill you as it is to crush an ant. ”

Li Yanbei nodded lightly, and his indifferent eyes suddenly softened.

"People who are ignorant and arrogant often end up sadly. ”

He looked out the window with a lonely face, as if he was unusually lonely.

"I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but in exchange for estrangement. ”

Turning his head, Li Yanbei looked at North.

"Lord North. ”

His compassionate gaze was like looking at a dead man.

"You must remember ...... in the next life"

"Some people, you can't afford to mess with ......"
