Zhang Xiaoshan and the others quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, and they had been trapped in the Dark Valley for a full month. During this time, they tried countless methods, but they were never able to get out of here.

There is indeed another mystery in the formation here, not only can it absorb light, but there are also terrifying places, such as those cyan clouds in the sky, which contain a strange law, so that the cultivator's divine consciousness is always in a state of chaos, unable to be effectively explored, and can only be passively trapped here.

However, they are only trapped here, but they have not encountered the slightest danger, and what is commendable is that with this month's rest, everyone's state has been restored, and even Zhang Qiyan, who has been recuperating from his injuries, has also recovered his health.

The aura here is very thin, and there is no place around that is suitable for comprehending heaven and earth, so Zhang Xiaoshan put all the people of the Zhang family into the immortal mansion in the fireside inkstone, and only himself, Tu Qianqian and Kui'er stayed outside and continued to look for a way out. The reason why these two people were kept was also the result of Zhang Xiaoshan's careful consideration.

Tu Qianqian is proficient in the formation and stays by his side in order to be able to find clues at any time, while Kui'er is because his body is a spotted red-bearded leopard, which is not only fast, but also has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, which can distinguish all the smells within thirty zhang of the surroundings, in such a dark place, the sense of smell is more effective than vision. These two people are very important here, and they are Zhang Xiaoshan's handmaidens, so they are naturally cronies among cronies.

Zhang Xiaoshan was originally sitting cross-legged and meditating, but suddenly smelled the rancid smell that was faint at that time, and he hurriedly exhaled the breath in his chest and abdomen, ending his homework this time.

And Tu Qianqian, who was in front of him, was still practicing his own exercises. She sat with her eyes closed, and made a lot of magic seals with her hands in a row, and her figure gradually became blurred, flashing the phantom of the spirit fox from time to time, she was practicing a profound exercise, which was the secret technique of the fox clan "Spirit Fox Incarnation Technique" that Tu Qianqiu passed on to Zhang Xiaoshan.

This secret technique was originally owned by the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, so Tu Qianqian was extremely handy in practice, and soon mastered the trick of it, and in some time he could perform the illusion technique.

Of course, Zhang Xiaoshan also tried to practice, but he didn't understand it at all, because there were some key links in the exercises, and he couldn't do it at all, not because he was stupid, but because the various meridians and acupuncture points mentioned in those links could only be possessed by the fox clan, and as a human race, of course he couldn't practice.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan was not angry, because Tu Qianqian's ability to cultivate this exercise would also be of great benefit to him!

On the other side, Kui'er turned into the body of a leopard, curled up on the ground and fell asleep, of course, she was not simply sleeping, but practicing her own clan's exercises, through deep meditation, refining her own mind and body.

Seeing his two maids practicing so hard, Zhang Xiaoshan was quite pleased, a smile appeared on his face, he really had a reason to be happy, after a few months of enlightenment, not long ago, he finally succeeded in understanding the "Five Elements Theory".

It's strange to say, when I was outside before, because the heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy, I couldn't pay attention to the formulas in the Five Elements Theory, but here, because the yin and yang are unclear and the five elements are not clear, I have comprehended the mystery in the "Five Elements Theory", so that I can practice the "Divine Fire Hundred Alchemy", and I have been thinking about refining weapons for a long time.

Originally, he had advanced to the Jindan stage, and he was qualified to practice the Zhang family's own alchemy technique "Divine Craftsman Decision", but if you look at the subtlety of the two, the Zhang family's Divine Craftsman Decision is naturally several times more subtle than the Divine Fire Hundred Alchemy Technique, and the spiritual weapon created is more powerful, but because of this, it is more difficult to master, and the requirements are higher, there are a total of thirty-three refining masters in the Zhang family sect, but these people are all around 60 years old, and they are all some people with advanced mana, and they have a deep understanding of the law of fire attributes. In other words, even if Zhang Xiaoshan practiced the Zhang family's way of refining weapons, it would be impossible to refine any valuable spiritual weapons in a short period of time.

At this time, the value of Shenhuo Hundred Alchemy is reflected, as long as you master the "Five Elements Theory", you can theoretically refine a powerful magic weapon. According to the instructions in the classics, even a monk in the Qi refining period can use the Divine Fire Hundred Alchemy to refine the weapon, but in fact, this is just an exaggeration, after all, the monk in the Qi refining period can't even use the Danhuo, so how to refine the weapon.

Zhang Xiaoshan casually took out the Xuanhuo Ding, the crimson furnace Ding was particularly dazzling here, and the spiritual light it emitted was not absorbed by the surroundings, which was also rare. However, with these spiritual lights, of course, it was not enough to dispel all the darkness, Zhang Xiaoshan took out the Xuanhuo Ding, naturally wanting to try refining weapons.

There was a small golden Sanyan Divine Fire rising in the furnace, which was accumulated after Zhang Xiaoshan begged Yang Dong Baili, the Sanyan Divine Fire was extremely powerful, but it was consumed too quickly, and he didn't dare to use it indiscriminately when he was usually against the enemy, leaving it as his killer weapon.

In fact, the biggest role of the Sanyan Divine Fire is still in the refining of weapons, only this kind of divine fire can completely smelt the material more pure, and only then can a powerful spiritual weapon be created.

The fire in the furnace was enough for Zhang Xiaoshan to refine four or five furnace spirit weapons, anyway, there was nothing left and right, Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and took out a few ordinary materials, ready to start building.

He recited the Fa in his mouth, and with one hand and one finger, the Xuanhuo Ding must have rotated, and the volume became huge, and the three Yan Divine Flames in it immediately poured out of the furnace Ding, but they were pulled by the surrounding darkness, and they were actually somewhat diluted.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately put away the Xuanhuo Ding, and shouted in his mouth that it was a pity, on a whim, he forgot the special features of this place, any object that emits light will be affected here, and only the Xuanhuo Ding and other heaven and earth spiritual objects can be different.

He said to himself, "I don't know if it can be refined in the Immortal Mansion?"

In fact, the immortal mansion in the flame inkstone is naturally famous, in front of the lobby of the immortal mansion, there is a large red plaque, which is set against a few big words with red gems "Leaving the Fire Palace!"

However, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't like this name, and felt that it was a bit too high-profile, as the owner of the Immortal Mansion, of course he could change the layout of the Immortal Mansion at will, so he took off this plaque and took down all the gems, and the Immortal Mansion did not have a new name for a long time.

There are countless monks in the world who dream of this kind of immortal mansion, except for Zhang Xiaoshan, because every time he enters the Lihuo Palace, he will think of Qingluan, the two once agreed to use this place as the residence of the two after they get married, and many of the furnishings in it are adjusted by Qingluan.

Moreover, there is another world system in the Immortal Mansion, and he can't feel the normal rules of heaven and earth at all, which is naturally useless to Zhang Xiaoshan, who is eager to improve his cultivation.

But for the sake of refining, Zhang Xiaoshan first came up with the idea of entering the Immortal Mansion, speaking of which, he has not entered it for a long time, and Tu Qianqian and others have always taken care of it, and now there are four people from the Zhang family and six other maids living in it, which should be very lively.

The scale of the Lihuo Palace is very large, there are three large pavilions alone, among which the main hall is naturally where Zhang Xiaoshan used to store his belongings, all the furnishings in it are designed by Qingluan, and Qingluan's spirit egg is in the room on the top floor of the main hall, which has been burned by the fire. Qingluan is a fire-attribute divine beast, and this method really helps the growth of Qingluan's spirit eggs.

Because of the importance of the main hall, Zhang Xiaoshan deliberately set up a ban here, except for Tu Qianqian and a few other cronies and maids can enter, no one can enter.

In addition to the main hall, there are the east hall and the west hall are separated and the left and right courtyards of the palace, the two styles and scenery are different, Zhang Xiaoshan generally arranges the east hall for temporary entrants to live, where the room is large, the decoration is more luxurious, and it is also the most suitable for receiving guests. The west hall is different, the environment inside is deep, and some elegant plants grow, so Zhang Xiaoshan gave this place to Tu Qianqian and other eight maids, and these eight maids live in it at will.

In addition to the three main halls, there are five other small halls, including the Pill Hall, the Utensils Hall, the Storage Hall, the Yanwu Hall, the Meditation Hall, and some smaller pavilions and corridors, all of which are used for practice.

Zhang Xiaoshan sighed, if it weren't for the forced situation, he really didn't want to enter the Lihuo Palace, but before entering the palace, he needed to wake up Tu Qianqian and Kui'er, after all, after entering the palace, the fire inkstone would be exposed outside, if no one guarded it, once someone attacked the fire inkstone, the people in it would fall into the spatial turbulence and could not be freed.

Just in case, Zhang Xiaoshan also teleported Zhang Fangyue from the Fire Palace, among all the people, Zhang Fangyue was the most powerful, and there were three high-grade spiritual weapons in his hand, even if he encountered the Yuan Infant Monk, he had the power to fight.

Zhang Fangyue originally meditated in the Lihuo Palace, because he couldn't feel the rules of heaven and earth, and he couldn't practice the exercises, so he could only improve his divine thoughts through meditation. For Zhang Xiaoshan's advice, Zhang Fangyue naturally did not have the slightest opinion, this trial action, they followed Zhang Xiaoshan, but they made a few windfalls, he knew that it was all due to Zhang Xiaoshan, and he had been looking for an opportunity to report to this young elder, but he didn't think that he would have this opportunity now.

After arranging everything, Zhang Xiaoshan quietly entered the Lihuo Palace, he did not inform the others in the Immortal Mansion, but came directly to the Artifact Palace, closed the place, and started the first refining in it.

After three days, the door of the artifact hall was opened, Zhang Xiaoshan walked out with a happy face, in three days, he refined a total of three furnaces of spiritual weapons, the first two furnaces failed due to various problems, and he only collected two furnaces of ashes. Fortunately, he was not angry, the refining weapon was already like this, as the so-called ten furnaces and five bad, so the value of the spiritual weapon would be so high.

When refining the third furnace, he absorbed the experience of the first two times, and all the links were handled extremely perfectly, only in the final quenching stage, there were some mistakes, and the spirit weapon that could have reached the middle grade was automatically lowered by a grade and became a low-grade spirit weapon, but this low-grade spirit weapon is also very rare, because this is an inner armor created by him using heavenly silk as the main raw material, which is called "Pure Heart" , because the celestial silk can exude a refreshing coolness on its own, if you wear this inner armor, it can make the monk meditate on current affairs with half the effort, and it is also a rare spiritual weapon that can help with cultivation.

When she was full of joy and was about to share this matter with others, suddenly, an eager voice echoed in the Lihuo Palace, it was Tu Qianqian's voice, she said urgently: "Childe, come out quickly, is there a situation outside?"
