In the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense, the criminal elder sat upright, stared at Ye Jian with a gloomy face, and did not speak for a long time, while Ye Jian stood below, waiting quietly.

After a long time, perhaps unable to bear it, the criminal elder finally spoke.

"Ye Jian, do you know what you did wrong?"

To Ye Jian's surprise, the Criminal Elder's voice was cold with a hint of gentleness.

"I don't know, please also ask the criminal elder to make it clear. ”

Ye Jian replied softly.

"Hmph! You openly used force in the sect and injured your fellow sects, which has seriously violated the rules of the sect. ”

"The disciple knew that he was wrong. ”

Ye Jian bowed his body slightly and said softly.

"If you know you're wrong, that's good. ”

The criminal elder chuckled, and for a while, Ye Jian had an illusion, as if he had been deceived.

"In view of the fact that you returned to the sect after the deadline, and now you are openly injuring your fellow disciples, I have decided to punish you to go to the Hengduan Mountains for half a year, and you will come back after half a year, are you willing?"

Ye Jian was slightly stunned, although he guessed that the criminal elder would punish him severely, but he didn't expect the punishment to be so severe.

The Hengduan Mountains have a unique geographical location and are a large mountain range at the junction of the Zhao State and the Luo Khanate.

The environment here is extremely harsh, and there are many high-level demonic beasts rampant, because it is at the junction of the two countries, the situation here is very chaotic, and it often happens that the warriors of the Luo Khanate cross the border to kill people.

However, if the above mentioned problems are considered to be many troubles, then add the following troubles and these troubles will directly turn into misfortune.

The Hengduan Mountains have a unique geographical location, in addition to the fact that it is the junction of the two countries, and more importantly, it is located at the intersection of the fortunes of the two countries of Zhao and Luo, because it is rich in products here, and there are a large number of spiritual stones hidden underground.

The Hengduan Mountain Range is close to Nanluozong, Nanluozong will definitely not put a piece of fat on the side of his mouth without biting, after these years of accumulation, Nanluozong has already excavated and opened up nearly 20 large and small spiritual mine caves in the Hengduan Mountain Range.

The spirit stone is the universal currency on the Tianwu Continent, and the spirit stone is a convenient thing to restore the power of the pill better than the elixir.

Because of the temptation of these spirit stones, many cultivators who have cultivated to a high level, whether they are from the Zhao State or the Luo Khanate, are all secretly thinking carefully, and the disciples of the Nan Luo Sect who guard the Spirit Mine Cave have suffered many deaths and injuries every year.

Ye Jian frowned, he really didn't expect the Criminal Elder to 'take care' of him so much.

"How's that? Would you like that?"

The criminal elder sat upright and asked lightly, but the corners of his mouth were shallow and playful.

"Six months is too long......"

"The time cannot be changed, if you think it is unreasonable, then change it to another disciplinary task, but the time will be a year. ”

Ye Jian's brows jumped wildly suddenly, he finally knew that all of this was planned by the criminal elder before.

Taking a deep breath and secretly weighing it in his heart, Ye Jian finally nodded, "Okay, but I need a few days to prepare." ”

"Time is not busy, in three days, the sect will send you to the Hengduan Mountains with a griffin eagle. ”

The criminal elder looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

Ye Jian was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect to be calculated by the criminal elders, he had just come to the sect, but he was going to leave again, and this time he had been away for a long time.

"It looks like we're going to have to hurry up and buy something for the next two days. ”

I sighed in my heart.

"Alright, if it's okay, you go down first. Remember, three days later, in the early morning, gather at the sect. ”

Ye Jian immediately arched his hand slightly, and then retreated directly.

......

In the private room on the second floor of Xian Ya Pavilion, after Ye Chen and the others listened to Ye Jian's punishment task, their expressions immediately rose.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

Ye Jian showed a trace of doubt on his face, and at the same time secretly slandered in his heart, although the Hengduan Mountain Range was dangerous, there was no need for this.

"Ye Jian, you only know the horror on the surface of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and you don't know the darkness inside the Dao. ”

After being silent for a long time, Ye Chen slowly spoke.

"The environment inside the Hengduan Mountain Range is ten times more terrifying than what you hear, if you are not careful, you will walk into those undeveloped areas, and these undeveloped areas, even if the powerhouses of the Transformation Yuan Realm enter, they will definitely die. ”

"Ye Jian, I advise you to hurry up and find the Criminal Elder for a different task, even if it takes a little longer, it is better than the existence of too many unknown Hengduan Mountain Ranges. ”

Mu Peiling also disagreed with Ye Jian's mission, and immediately reminded him.

"But I've said yes. ”

"If you promise, you can change it again, while it's still too late. ”

Mu Peiling said worriedly.

"Forget it, I also want to see the Hengduan Mountains. ”

Ye Jian thought for a moment, and finally rejected everyone's kindness.

"Forget it, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much, but when you get there, remember to put your life first. ”

Seeing that Ye Jian had made up his mind, Ye Chen immediately sighed lightly and patted the latter's shoulder.

The two exchanged a toast, and then the meal began again.

......

At night, Ye Jian returned to the small wooden room in front of him, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly breathed in.

Xian Yage's food and wine were really extraordinary, and after Ye Jian came back, he felt the heat in his abdomen bulging, and his internal qi was slowly growing.

Just like that, he was speechless all night, and when the dawn came again the next day, Ye Jian directly opened his eyes, and the essence in his eyes was full and fleeting.

Call~!

With a deep exhalation, Ye Jian clenched his fists, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Now that my cultivation has reached the peak of the Martial Artist Realm, I am at the place where I can break through the barrier of the Condensing Truth Realm, no matter how much I cultivate, my cultivation will not increase in the slightest, unless I break through the Condensing Truth Realm. Let's take advantage of the time to see if we can collect some simple pills. ”

The matter of alchemy has always been taken to Ye Jian's heart, and he didn't consider it before because his cultivation had not reached the Condensing Truth Realm, but now, Ye Jian's cultivation has reached the barrier, and breaking through the Condensing Truth Realm is just around the corner, so he naturally has to start the matter of alchemy.

After a simple tidying up, Ye Jian went out directly.

Walking on the road of the sect, Ye Jian met many disciples of the outer sect, but while these people looked at Ye Jian, their eyes were mixed with a trace of awe.

Ye Jian frowned slightly, not knowing why.

However, after swaying around the road for most of the time, he finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that it was because he hit Ning Hao with a sword yesterday and was rumored to be by some onlookers that he was secretly pointed at when he went out today.

Ye Jian's footsteps were clear, and he continued to walk forward.

"Look! Look! This is Ye Jian, I heard that yesterday he defeated Ning Hao, who was the first in the outer gate, with one sword. ”

Suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd behind him.

"Hey, isn't it true?"

"If he is really so powerful, then why didn't he win the first title of the outer gate in the first place?"

"I think it must be bragging!"

For a while, there was a lot of doubt in the crowd.

"It's true, this news was told by a cousin of mine in the inner door, who saw it with his own eyes. ”

However, the person who exclaimed before was still arguing for Ye Jian.

"Whether it's really that powerful, I'll know if I try. ”

The crowd was surging, and a sturdy young man who had cultivated to the peak of martial arts walked out directly, and the young man's footsteps followed, and he quickly attacked behind Ye Jian.

"Hmm!"

This move naturally couldn't escape Ye Jian's induction, and immediately, Ye Jian turned around directly, his eyes were cold and abnormal, and the sword momentum was like two invisible swords, through Ye Jian's eyes, cross-shot into the young man's mind.

The young man was shocked, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

Bang!

However, Ye Jian did not hesitate at all, his left foot was slightly raised, and one foot hit the young man's waist, and in an instant, the young man rolled to the side like a leather ball.

The body crawled up quickly, and the young man touched the place where he was kicked on the side of his waist with a shocked face, but found that there was no injury in the slightest.

was talking to the opening, but Ye Jian had already walked away.

"It's really strong. ”

"Ren Qiang has no backhand in his hands. ”

"It seems that the rumors are true,"

"Ye Jian is the number one in the outer gate. ”

......

Listening to everyone's discussions, the sturdy young man named Ren Qiang did not refute it, but just patted the dust on his body and walked silently into the distance.

Ye Jian wanted to collect Dan Fang, but how could such a precious thing as Dan Fang be found casually.

Therefore, Ye Jian first inquired about some news from Ye Chen, and finally knew that there were ** people in the sect of the Southern Luo Sect of the Dao Dao, among which there were several people who had reached the second-order alchemist, and there were more than ten people in the other first-order.

According to Ye Chen's instructions, Ye Jian came to the residence of the alchemists of the Southern Luo Sect.

First of all, those first-order alchemists, these alchemists were all young people who had just started to learn alchemy, and when they heard about Ye Jian's intentions, they immediately took out the simplest pill recipes in their hands for Ye Jian to choose from.

After the last time, Ye Jian chose the two low-level pills of Qi Gathering and Qi Return, of course, Ye Jian did not take it for nothing, these two kinds of pills, each cost Ye Jian twenty lower-grade spirit stones, and it was also a manuscript.

The monthly payment of an ordinary inner disciple of Nanluo Sect for a month is five lower grade spirit stones and twenty lower grade spirit stones, which is enough for an ordinary inner disciple for four months.

Ye Jian had a heartache for a long time before he took it out, but all this was for the purpose of learning alchemy, and Ye Jian was also relieved.

"This is the residence of an elder in the sect, and he is also one of the few second-order alchemists in the sect, do you want to try it?"

Ye Chen pointed to a silent courtyard in the distance, and whispered to Ye Jian beside him.

Ye Jian hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up.

"Forget it, I don't have what the masters of the Transformation Yuan Realm need, and even if they do, they may not want to exchange with me, so let's familiarize ourselves with the Qi Gathering and Qi Gathering Disperse first. ”

Ye Jian shook his head, and then left directly.

Seeing this, Ye Chen naturally didn't say anything, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't approve of Ye Jian's alchemy, but he couldn't go against Ye Jian's will, so he didn't say anything.
