Chapter 45: Troubled Times

Qin Mengxiang in mid-air saw that he was gradually at a disadvantage, and then faintly retreated, especially after the two helpers in Liuyun Village were injured and fled, they went away without the demeanor of a master.

But how could Ling Hu Jiang'an let him get his wish?

At the moment when the two of them in Liuyun Village had just escaped from the Wandan Sect, Linghu Jiang'an had already secretly recited the mantra to activate the mountain protection array. Qin Mengxiang slowed down by half a beat, and hit his head on the soft mist, and his thin body was instantly bounced into the dense woods.

Ling Hu wiped the blood stains on the dagger, and the killing intent boiled: "Look for it separately!" ”

Although Qin Mengxiang cultivated bloody clothes, he couldn't please Ling Hu at all when he fought fiercely with Ling Hu, who was upright and prime. After three hundred moves, the dagger in Ling Hu's hand suddenly swirled, and it actually broke through the bloody clothes and slashed Qin Mengxiang's wrist strongly, and Qin Mengxiang's combat strength, which had not used force for many years, suddenly dropped another notch.

Linghu Jiang'an and Zhong Youyuan responded one after another, and their bodies turned into a streamer and rushed into the woods. Although Ling Hu was only Jiang Shuiyao's guard, this kind of strong strength had to make them faintly afraid.

After Xiao Yu, who rushed to the ground, repeatedly confirmed that Jiang Shuiyao's injury was not serious, he promised that he could enter the upside-down gilded pagoda once, and choose two Dan prescriptions as compensation for the time of one stick of incense.

Linghu Yinan was severely scolded and was responsible for taking his disciples to repair the damaged residence and main hall.

The person who took Jiang Shui Yao into the upside-down gilt pagoda was called Mangha, who looked about the same age as Jiang Shui Yao. Mangha's dark skin had some red spots in it, and he looked dull and stunned. It is said that the child who came out of the mountains went through a lot of hardships to come to the Wandan Sect to learn the art of alchemy. Because he is honest and has excellent qualifications, he has won the love of Linghu Jiang'an and Xiao Yu after joining the sect, and it seems that he has the posture of focusing on training.

Mangha sent Jiang Shui Yao to the entrance of the upside-down gilded pagoda and said respectfully: "Envoy Jiang, the first and second floors of the tower are the places where medicinal materials and finished pills are stored, the third and fourth floors store all kinds of Danfang books, the fifth floor is the place where the sect master retreats, and the sixth floor is the forbidden place, and the small ones don't know what is inside. Aunt Xiao has instructed that you can enter the fourth floor at most this time. ”

Jiang Shui responded, and just as he was about to go downstairs, Mangha whispered: "Envoy Jiang, Xiao Dou Dare suggests that you choose Dan Fang on the third floor. Because the four-layer Danfang is too profound, even if you get it, it doesn't make much sense, it's better to lay a good foundation first, and then find a chance to enter the next layer. ”

Jiang Shuiyao looked back at the swarthy young man and nodded with a smile.

The contents of the tower are arranged in such a neat and tidy manner that there is not a trace of dust. Jiang Shuiyao was shocked to see the dazzling array of medicinal materials, but he didn't have much interest, and after a slight glance, he went straight down to the third layer. After all, time was limited, and he didn't want to delay in these places.

Different from what Jiang Shui Yao thought, these Dan prescriptions are not simply a thin page of paper placed on the cabinet, but are classified and indexed by a compendium of medicinal materials, so that disciples can find the matching Dan prescriptions of their own Chinese medicinal materials in a short time. Jiang Shuiyao didn't think much about it, and after taking Mangha's suggestion, he quickly found two pills on the third floor, and the medicinal materials in the pills were all about to be allocated by the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect, which completely saved him the step of finding medicinal materials.

Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Shui Yao stepped down the stairs to the fourth floor.

There is not much difference between the placement of the two floors, but the stairs are connected, and when Jiang Shui Yao first reached the fourth floor, the thunder power in the Soul Heart Palace suddenly swelled up with a ripple, as if echoing with the space in the fifth floor.

Jiang Shui Yao tried to continue down, but found that the staircase had been planted with a ban, and he reached out to find that it was blocked by an invisible light curtain. And at this moment, the power of the Thunder Tribulation in the Soul Heart Palace suddenly became manic, and instantly surged into Jiang Shuiyao's fingertips to compete with the invisible force in front of him.

In a moment, the light curtain melted, the prohibition was opened, and a trace of residual spiritual power slowly flowed out from the fifth layer.

Jiang Shuiyao's heart jumped, he could feel that this spiritual power was very similar to the power of the Thunder Tribulation in his Soul Heart Palace, and this was the reason why he could break the ban.

Could it be that Linghu Jiang'an knows how to cultivate the method of thunder tribulation???

Jiang Shuiyao frowned, the power of the thunder tribulation in his body had fallen asleep again, no matter how he guided it, even Jiang Shuiyao touched his hand on the light curtain at the staircase on the sixth floor, it always ignored it like an uncle, curled up in the soul heart palace and did not move.

Being on the fifth floor, Jiang Shui Yao always had a very strange feeling.

With a thought in his mind, he took out the cyan Xiaoding and the remaining medicinal materials from the last refining of the Hui Ling Pill from the ring, and sat down cross-legged on the fifth layer to start alchemy.

The refining method of the Hui Ling Pill had already flowed smoothly, and after more than ten breaths, Jiang Shui looked at the freshly baked Hui Ling Pill and fell into deep thought.

There is no problem at all in terms of quality, but in terms of refining time, I don't know how much it has been shortened!

Jiang Shuiyao threw in two copies of medicinal materials at one time, the same sealing technique, and it was also more than ten breaths, and the two Hui Ling Pills jumped out of the furnace obediently.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Jiang Shuiyao invested five times the amount of medicinal materials at one time and began to refine the pill again. Except for the beginning of alchemy, there was some rush to sort medicinal materials in the ding, and the rest of the steps were smooth. This time, it took a stick of incense, and the five Hui Ling Pills were successfully baked.

Looking at the empty room, Jiang Shuiyao stuffed the pill in his hand into his mouth like fried beans, and said in surprise: "This is too damn unreasonable." ”

It's more than half the effort!

It is easy to refine one pill, but refining multiple pills at the same time can be an extreme test of the level of a refiner. Even a treasure refiner like Li Guang didn't dare to pat his chest and guarantee that he could refine five Huiling Pills in a single stick of incense.

Immediately, Jiang Shuiyao sighed lightly, no wonder Qin Mengxiang has been increasing the number of pills for himself over the years, but Wan Dan Sect can still complete it. Now it seems that the upside-down gilded pagoda has a lot of credit.

Jiang Shuiyao glanced around the fifth floor carefully, and soon his gaze focused on the floor.

There is actually an inscription formation here?!

When Jiang Shuiyao's fingertips just touched those shallow ravines, the power of the Thunder Tribulation in the Soul Heart Palace moved inexplicably. He lay on the floor, carefully looked at the inscriptions engraved on the ground, and then pressed his fingertips into those shallow ravines, holding his breath and slowly guiding the power of the thunder tribulation out of the Soul Heart Palace.

After trying countless times, the power of the thunder tribulation about the size of a water drop was extremely reluctant to drill into Jiang Shui Yao's fingertips, and the moment he came into contact with the inscription formation, the entire floor of space suddenly stirred up a powerful energy fluctuation, and the cyan light suddenly appeared, and the entire floor flashed a dazzling light and then instantly extinguished.

After a flash, Jiang Shui Yao was teleported out in an instant, and Mangha had been guarding the door, looking at Jiang Shui Yao lying on the ground a little helpless.

Linghu Jiang'an, who had just returned to the mountain gate, naturally saw the dazzling light, and his heart sank instantly, and his face gradually became gloomy.

Jiang Shuiyao rubbed his head and got up and asked, "Is it time?" ”

"It's time."

Without waiting for Mangha to answer, Xiao Yu's figure suddenly appeared on the platform, his eyes were a little inexplicably deep.

Xiao Yu had an unfathomable smile on his face and asked, "Envoy Jiang, have you gone down to the fifth layer?" ”

"What fifth layer?" Jiang Shuiyao took the cyan Xiaoding in his hand and continued: "After getting the Dan Fang, I was a little excited for a while, so I tried to start alchemy on the fourth layer, and I didn't know what happened when I was refining, and I was teleported up. ”

"Alas... It's a pity for my herbs. Jiang Shuiyao took the cyan small tripod and flipped it over, and countless black powders poured out of the tripod.

Xiao Yu's face changed slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Qin Mengxiang has been captured and is now in the square, why don't you go and take a look now?" ”

"Let's lock it up first!" Jiang Shuiyao waved his hand, took out two pills from the ring and handed them to Xiao Yu: "Now I want to study this first." Deputy Sect Master Xiao, I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to borrow me some medicinal materials? ”

Xiao Yu glanced at it slightly, Tongmai Pill and Qingying Pill were one of the pills they needed to hand over to the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect every year, so naturally there would be no shortage of medicinal materials. With a wave of her fingers, she motioned for Mangha to fetch nearly a hundred medicinal herbs and said, "These medicinal herbs have been given to you, and you don't have to return them." It's just that you really don't want to look at Qin Mengxiang now? ”

Jiang Shuiyao happily put all the medicinal materials into the ring, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Liuyun Village will come sooner or later, and we will talk about it when we arrive." Deputy Sect Master Xiao, I'll find a place to refine the pill first. ”

Looking at the back of Jiang Shuiyao leaving, Xiao Yu sighed softly. The bright light in the tower just now was almost noticed by the entire disciples of the Wandan Sect, but in the face of Jiang Shuiyao's pretending to be stupid, she suddenly had no other way.

Under Xiao Yu's words, Qin Mengxiang was imprisoned in the prison cell of the sect.

Linghu Jiang Anfei entered the upside-down gilded pagoda like a fly, while Ling Hu and Zhong Youyuan were placed in another quiet courtyard. The Wandan Sect was in disarray, and under the leadership of Linghu Nan, it was completely rested at dusk.

Knowing that Jiang Shui Yao had no one deliberately looking for him after alchemy, the Wandan Sect regained its tranquility again.

When night fell completely, Chai Que, who was supposed to be in the Bloody Soul Sect, appeared in a pavilion not far from the Wandan Sect, twisted his beard and said: "I have already helped you catch the group of people who entered the Wandan Sect last night, and you will kill them all later, and then find a way to send your head to Liuyun Village on the day of the New Year's Tribulation." ”

No one knew who Chai Que was talking to, because he was the only one in the pavilion.

Chai Que paced his steps, and his tone was soft: "In this way, the water in your pool of dark waves that has been turbulent for so many years will be completely chaotic." This is your chance to rise, take advantage of it. ”

Although no one answered, Chai Que was sure that the man had heard clearly.

"After I arrange it a little more, I really want to go back to the Bloody Soul Sect. You don't have to think about Jiang Shuiyao's sideline, just rest assured to do what you want to do. Even if he died, I wouldn't blame you. ”

Immediately afterwards, Chai Que put a black box on the stone table: "You keep this broken Erdan, it can make your cultivation skyrocket at a critical time, but you also know the consequences." Whether you use it or not, it's up to you. ”

Thinking of Jiang Shuiyao, a soft smile appeared on Chai Que's face. Born in troubled times, if you don't grow up as soon as possible, when will you be able to gain a firm foothold?
