There is no time in the mountains.

Four years passed quickly.

The two largest southern candle fruits are finally ripe.

It's the day.

Exudes a fruity fragrance, attracts a lot of spirit beasts in the mountains, there are several zhang long giant python climbing down the rock, there is a tanuki shaped like a tiger probe to probe the brain, a group of golden geese fly in the sky, hovering can not go, there are a lot of strange fish in the water......

Seeing these spirit beasts that smelled the fragrance, Su Chen suddenly realized.

When the treasure is ripe, the fragrance will diffuse, which will naturally attract the creatures in the mountains.

Back then, Hai Dongqing may have been injured in the process of fighting for the South Candle Fruit, and with its strength at that time, it was far from being the opponent of these spirit beasts.

Most probably, it was Kunluo's father, and the Peng bird overwhelmed the beasts, so he finally got it.

But unfortunately, it was also seriously injured under the siege of the birds, so Hai Dongqing left Kunluo and returned to take care of it alone, and only came back after more than half a year, and it is estimated that he has died of his injuries.

Otherwise, after so many years, it is impossible not to come to see its own children.

Of course.

With Su Chen's current strength, these beasts in the mountains are far from threatening him.

He didn't even need to make a move.

Kunluo let out a cry, the sound shook the four wilderness, and the piercing sound wave spread out, and when those spirit beasts heard it, they all showed horror on their faces and retreated one after another.

Kunluo flapped his wings and soared into the air, his huge wings spread, bathed in the golden light projected by the glaucomic mirror, like a divine bird descending into the world, and his voice was magnificent.

Those spirit beasts in the mountains immediately whimpered and lowered their heads, not daring to look at them, the giant python coiled, the tiger crawled, and the other birds flew around the periphery, like a hundred birds facing the phoenix, and the stars holding the moon.

At this time, Kunluo had already refined the first wisp of mana and officially stepped into the realm of qi refining.

For other birds and beasts, it is like an innate powerhouse among human warriors, and they can naturally dominate the mountains and forests.

"Good guy, it seems that you will be the king and hegemon in this Tianmai Mountain in the future. I can't say, Kunluo will be the demon king of this Tianmai Mountain in the future? ”

Su Chen made a joke.

Immediately, without hesitation, he got up and picked the two ripe Southern Candle Fruits.

As the fruit fell off, the two saplings withered.

It seems that the book is good, this southern candle fruit is one by one, and the fruit dies as a tree, but its underground rhizome is preserved.

Because there are no seeds, the South Candle Fruit basically grows and reproduces by the germination of rhizomes, and after the death of a tree, after a few years, it will accumulate spiritual energy, and it will grow again, and so on.

In other words, as long as the rhizome doesn't die, the thing can theoretically grow.

"The rest of these Southern Candle Fruits will take a long time to ripen, and the earliest ones will be more than ten years later, so let's stay here first."

Su Chen didn't think about transplanting these Southern Candle Fruit Trees back.

But the growth of this thing requires a lot of aura, and if you change places, you may die directly.

Anyway, this valley is hidden, and it is protected by the formation left by itself, so ordinary people can't break in.

Moreover, Kunluo had been cultivating here before, and he could use it as his lair to help him take care of the town.

"This time I went out to travel, and it was delayed before and after, and it has been ten years. Calculating my age, I'm also the year of knowing my fate this year, right? ”

Su Chen lowered his head and glanced at the face reflected in the stream.

At this time, he did not have any disguise, he was still the same as when he was eighteen, young and handsome, and the years did not leave any traces on him.

"Ten years, for a mortal, is a long time. But for me, it felt like a snap of a finger. ”

Su Chen shook his head, and didn't feel too much.

Compared to the endless life in the future, I am just getting started.

"It's time to go back, I haven't seen you for ten years, and I don't know what the imperial capital will be like now."

Between thoughts.

Su Chen waved his hand, and with the performance of a thousand illusions, he had already aged his original face into the appearance of being in his fifties, with a white face and no beard, but he already had wrinkles, and the long hair on the back of his head also showed traces of gray.

After doing this, he put the belongings he was carrying in the tripod together with King Kong, as well as the glaucoma glasses in the formation above his head, and also took them back.

This treasure is very important for him to practice the idea of the sun, so he can't stay here.

However, he didn't move the golden crow talisman and the scorching sun talisman around it.

In addition, in the first two years, he studied some small formations and arranged them around, which was completely sufficient as a defense of the cave.

"Kunluo, send me back to the palace."

"Tick-"

Kunluo let out a long roar, shook his wings, and carried Su Chen into a streamer, riding the wind and waves, and heading towards the imperial capital.

……

Tianmai Mountain is vast, and it is also thousands of miles away from the imperial capital.

Even the fastest horses have to gallop for days and nights to get there.

However, now that Kunluo has cultivated his mana, his flight speed is even faster, and it only took half a day for the imperial capital of Chu to be in sight.

Su Chen was not in a hurry to return to the palace.

After ten years away, he still has a lot of things to do, first of all, he has to go to Natuogu Temple to have a look and test Zhou Yi's current cultivation progress.

After all, this is the first immortal cultivator he has cultivated, and his spiritual root talent is very good.

In the future, there is a high probability that he will go to Xiandao for himself to explore the way.

Naturally, you have to pay more attention.

However, when he came to Tuogu Temple, he found that a lot had changed here.

The stone walls, which were newly built in the early years, are now covered with moss, leaving traces of erosion over time.

The temple has expanded a lot compared to that year, and there are many more orphans living and adopting.

After Su Chen took out the token to identify himself, a middle-aged monk came out to receive him.

The presiding officer of Tuogu Temple back then has passed away, and his disciple Minghui has taken over.

When Su Chen came here to inspect before, this Huiming monk was next to the old host, so he recognized the black robe.

"Tuogu Temple presiding over Huiming, meet the landlord ......"

"Hmm."

Su Chen nodded, asked about the current situation of Tuogu Temple, and then asked about the situation of Zhou Yi and the others.

Monk Huiming hurriedly replied: "That was the first batch of disciples trained by this temple, and now they are all adults. Not long ago, under the arrangement of Lord Zhang, most of the disciples have been arranged to serve in the city guards, specifically responsible for patrolling the city and arresting them, and the landlord can dispatch and summon them at any time if necessary. ”

Zhang Mingyuan mentioned this matter to him.

Although these trained children were cultivated as dead soldiers, they also needed a place to settle down before Su Chen needed them to do things.

So he took advantage of his position to arrange these children into the city guard.

With their skills and martial arts, it won't be long before they can get ahead and receive a position in the city guards.

After a long time, Su Chen can even turn the city guards into his own people, and firmly grasp this power in his hands, and Tsing Yi Lou can naturally have a solid foundation.

Moreover, this is the city guard army that guards the imperial capital.

At critical moments, it can also influence the situation in the court.

"As for that Zhou Yi ......"

Monk Huiming hesitated for a moment and said, "This child has been smart since he was a child, has an excellent mind, and is also very prestigious among his peers. Originally, Lord Zhang wanted to let him enter the city guard army and entrust him with important tasks, but he refused, saying that he would continue to stay here and make arrangements when the landlord returned......"

"Yes, this is indeed the command of this seat. Zhou Yi, I have a lot of use, he will continue to live here in the future, if there is a need, you need to do your best to meet it, understand? ”

After Su Chen finished speaking, he handed over a bottle of Guiyuan Dan.

Monk Huiming hurriedly took it with both hands, and the joy in his eyes was overflowing.

Kneeling down again and again to thank the landlord for his reward.

Immediately afterwards, Su Chen followed him to meet the children selected in the next few batches, but unfortunately, there were no more seedlings with spiritual roots.

There is no such thing as a spiritual root, and it is not a radish and cabbage in the ground.

It's good luck to meet one in a hundred years.

"Alright, you can get busy first."

Waving his hand to let Huiming retreat, Su Chen set off to the courtyard of the back mountain, and saw a young man in a green shirt sitting cross-legged in the pavilion from a distance, his breath was long and long, as if he had already settled down, and the wisps of aura around his body were gathering little by little.

Looking at it like this, it is estimated that the qi refining has been successful, and it will not be long before you can step into the realm of the first level of qi refining.

"Ten years, one layer of gas refining. This kid's talent is not known how many times better than that of Baiyun Dao people. ”

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.

But I just don't know if this kid has fallen behind in terms of martial arts, if it's just just refining qi, I'm afraid the actual combat ability is insufficient.

Come to think of it.

Su Chen raised his hand, opened the Jinding space, and summoned King Kong.

"Go, try his condition."

Buzz –

After receiving the order, King Kong's eyes flashed, and his body burst out with golden light, and he had already entered a combat state.

With a sloppy step, the ground shattered.

The figure was like lightning breaking through the sky and striking at the gazebo in the distance.

"Who is it?"

Almost at the moment when King Kong made a move, Zhou Yi's ears in the pavilion moved slightly, and he had already noticed it, and immediately opened his eyes, the aura in his black eyes flowed, his body did not move, and his head was slightly offset.

Rumble!

A powerful punch staggered, the terrifying fist force exploded, the golden light was cathartic, and the entire pavilion was instantly torn apart.

His figure also immediately rose into the air, vigorous and agile, stepped on King Kong's shoulder, frowned and said angrily: "Who is Your Excellency, I have no grievances with you, why did you kill the killer?" ”

King Kong didn't answer.

The majestic body shook suddenly, and the golden light shook, making Zhou Yi's body unstable, and in the next moment, the big hand grabbed back.

"It's too much of a deception! Since Your Excellency is not friend or foe, then don't blame me for being rude! ”

Zhou Yi said, the aura in his palm gathered, the qi and blood burned, turning into jade, and it actually sent out a long sword, and slashed it fiercely.

Ding Ding Ding –

Martian sputtering.

His attack was quite strong, but King Kong was not afraid of how strong his body was now.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting no less than dozens of moves, at the beginning Zhou Yi could still resist or even counterattack, but as time went by, the strength in his body gradually exhausted, and he was already unable to catch it, and finally lost the battle.

He was shocked and angry in his heart, seeing that the other party's punch was about to fall.

But in the end, it stopped.

Immediately after, a somewhat familiar voice sounded in my ears.

"The progress of qi refining is not bad, the alertness is okay, and the blood jade hand is also a little hot. But you still lack combat experience, and the first time you encounter an attack, you should immediately counterattack, instead of talking nonsense. In the fourth move, you should know that you are not an opponent, and at this time you should think about escaping, not gritting your teeth and holding on......"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi turned his head to look.

I only saw that the black robe slowly floated down, and the outline of his face vaguely coincided with the person he saw in his dream back then, but he was a little older.

He suddenly understood, surprised and delighted, got up, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Zhou Yi, meet the immortal ......"
