A heavy snowfall is coming, indicating that another year is coming to an end, the Black Fog Forest and Huiyin Mountain have all changed color, the weather is very cold, and this night is very suitable for eating hot pot.

Qin Chuan smelled the aroma wafting out of the soup pot, and secretly felt a little regretful, since he came to this world, he hadn't found such a thing as chili peppers, and other alternative ingredients were not very tasteful!

The cut meat slices were put into the pot, and the chopsticks were sandwiched back and forth a few times, and suddenly there was a hearty laugh outside the stone room, and then a cake face appeared in front of him, "Haha, what delicious did Qin boy make today, I can smell the aroma no matter how far away!"

For this foodie who often comes to fight the autumn breeze, Qin Chuan has become accustomed to 'taking it for granted', this uncle named Ma Cheng was originally a little wary of him, but the two sides had more contact, with Qin Chuan's identity as a handyman without any foundation, coupled with that immature and honest face, finally made the other party open his mind and began to accept this junior who was good at cooking.

"Uncle Ma, is it your turn to patrol again today?"

"I'm resting today, but this snowy day is just right for drinking and having fun, so I thought of you kid!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Chuan to greet him, he had already scooped up the soup pot with chopsticks, and the slices of meat that were not yet cooked were put into his mouth and chewed to make a "snort" movement, and his face was full of enjoyment.

"Tsk, that's delicious!"

Qin Chuan poured him wine, and the two drank it together.

"Yes, looking at your current state, your mana has been condensed a lot, did you use the Soul Melting Technique?"

"Uncle Shi's insight, the original third layer of qi refining, now it has become the second layer of qi refining!"

"Well, the Xuanming True Sutra can smelt true qi, which is very suitable for the cultivation of the Five Elements Mixed Beings, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and cultivating this set of exercises will greatly reduce the cultivation speed, you have just started to cultivate, and you will know it later, alas, your cultivation is too low, and I don't know if that opportunity in three years will be a good or bad thing for you!"

"What kind of chance?"

Qin Chuan was full of wine, and added two slices of meat for him and put them in the seasoning plate.

Ma Cheng took another sip of wine, and then put the meat in his mouth, he was very satisfied with Qin Chuan's performance, if this kid's qualifications were a little better, he even had the heart to accept the apprentice.

"Do you know how this Black Mist Forest was formed?"

"I heard that this underground is one of the three 'Yin veins' of the Hanhai Continent!"

"Hehe, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, the main reason is that there is a Falling Demon Abyss in the depths of the Black Mist Forest, and there is a cave in the Falling Demon Abyss that can spew Yin Qi, and there is Yin Qi leakage in this cave all year round, causing the black fog in this forest to not disperse for thousands of years!"

Qin Chuan also had doubts, according to the geographical location of the forest, it was not a closed valley around it, and it was impossible to guarantee that the fog here would never dissipate.

"I see, could it be that the fate you are talking about is in the Demon Abyss?"

"Smart, I don't know when this Falling Demon Abyss was formed, anyway, it has existed since before written records, and it is said that the founding patriarch of our Yama Sect established a sect here for this reason!"

"Oh, is there a treasure here, so why didn't you take it out sooner?"

"Hehe, for us, there is indeed a treasure there, but because there is a very strong prohibition, it is not something that can be entered and exited casually!"

Qin Chuan immediately understood when he saw this foodie's gesture, and hurriedly fished out a few pieces of meat from the soup pot and sandwiched them into the seasoning plate, Ma Cheng stuffed the meat into his mouth in three or two clicks, and then took a big sip of wine before continuing: "I think you should know the foundation of our Yama Sect, right?"

"Refining the Corpse and Resisting the Ghost!"

"Yes, the Falling Demon Abyss and the Yin Wind Cave not only have many powerful Yin Souls, but there are also a lot of ancient corpses in the depths of the cave, after thousands of years of exploration by the ancestors, it is found that the prohibition of the Falling Demon Abyss will weaken every thirty-six years during the eclipse, and when the time comes, you can let the Qi Refining Period cultivators enter it, if you get these Yin Souls and Ancient Corpses, do you think about how the strength of individuals and sects will be improved?"

Qin Chuan is also proficient in the method of refining corpses and ghosts, knowing that whether it is raising corpses or raising ghosts, not only does it require a lot of resources, but also needs to accumulate for dozens of hundreds of years, at the beginning, Xu Guozhong often stole graves and dug graves not only for that treasure, but also for the search for ancient corpses and resentful souls, but unfortunately his luck was a little worse, he had never encountered the legendary thousand-year-old zombie once, otherwise he would not have died in the hands of Zhang Jingxuan.

"You can only enter the Qi Refining Period?"

"Well, I heard that only mortals can enter when it opens, and those who have cultivators will be banned and strangled immediately after entering, I don't know if it's because of a long time or some other reason, now the effect of the ban has been greatly weakened, as long as people below the foundation building period can enter!"

"In that case, what did Uncle Shi mean just now?"

"Don't you know, the decline in the effectiveness of the ban is not only for people, but also for Yin Souls and Zombies, especially in the Yin Wind Cave, last time there were a large number of ghost general-level Yin Souls and second- and third-order zombies on the first layer alone, even if the Qi Refining is complete, I don't dare to say that I can retreat with my whole body, and I am afraid that it will be ...... to enter with your current cultivation."

Ma Cheng didn't continue, but Qin Chuan had already understood, the Falling Demon Yuan was definitely not a good place, the Yama Sect recruited disciples on a large scale this time, maybe it was for this matter, and if there were more disciples, it could adopt crowd tactics, so that the sect could obtain more resources, and if someone died inside, the monk's body and soul would have been "excellent materials" Thirty or forty years later, a group of zombies and ghosts will be cultivated for the sect to collect, and so on, it is no wonder that the Yama Sect can stand for thousands of years.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Chuan's heart immediately felt uncomfortable!

"Don't think too much about you kid, there is no paradise in the immortal cultivation world, it is imperative to work hard to improve your strength, so that you can have the power to protect yourself and go further!" Ma Cheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, he really liked the little guy in front of him, so he reminded him vaguely with the strength of the wine.

Qin Chuan nodded, put down his mind for the time being, and changed the topic to ask Ma Cheng about the cultivation problem, as the saying goes, eating people's mouths is short, Ma Cheng's main cultivation method is also the Xuanming True Sutra, and his understanding of the scriptures is far deeper than Qin Chuan's, and he is also willing to take out his cultivation experience, so this wine was drunk until midnight.

The next day, after feeding the bloody demon corpse, Qin Chuan had to go down the mountain again to prepare food for this guy who had an amazing amount of food.

It snowed heavily overnight, and even the boundless black mist forest added a touch of color, I don't know if it was because of hibernation, there were many fewer beasts in the forest, and it took Qin Chuan half a day to catch two hares and a mountain mink, which were not enough for the bloody demon corpse to eat.

In the past, his range of activities was within two or three hundred miles of Huiyin Mountain, but now it seems that if he doesn't go farther, I'm afraid he won't be able to hunt enough blood food, but the depths of the forest are more dangerous, and the low-level monks of the Yama Sect who go deep into the forest to experience are often in groups, Qin Chuan is a little worried about his safety.

Just as he hesitated, there was suddenly movement ahead, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a pheasant with black feathers looking for food in the snow.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, the pheasant in the Black Fog Forest is not big, but it is delicious, and it is best to use it to make "called flower chicken".

Quietly used the light body technique to approach the pheasant, this pheasant is extremely alert, and immediately flapped its wings to escape when it felt a little danger, don't look at it can't really fly, but the speed is not slow, plus it is small and flexible, shuttling through the forest, Qin Chuan can't catch up with it for a while.

"Shout, I still don't believe it!" Qin Chuan has always been very confident in his light work, if he let a pheasant run away, he felt that his face was dull, so his speed was increased to the extreme, and the work of half a cup of tea was finally close to the pheasant.

"Look where you're going!" Stretched out his hand and grabbed a tail feather, but the pheasant struggled fiercely and broke free for it, Qin Chuan threw away the feathers in his hand and was just about to chase again, when suddenly a gust of evil wind hit from behind, and in a hurry, a wild boar rushed by, and it was not in a hurry to crash into a small tree in front of it, and the small tree with a thick bowl mouth was actually broken by it.
