Chapter 35: Farewell
Zhou Chen stepped into the second floor of the Purgatory Tower, and the scene on the second floor was not much different from the first floor, but the number of cultivation rooms on the second floor was less, and each iron door was farther away.
Zhou Chen casually chose an iron door, stretched out his hand and pushed it, the iron door was opened, if someone was cultivating inside, the iron door was closed, the cultivation room on the second floor was larger than the first floor, and the rest of the place was basically the same.
Zhou Chen glanced at the groove on the wall, embedded the token in his hand, hesitated, pulled down the lever, and buckled it at the position of the three wires.
The field began to condense spirit monsters, and three figures appeared, holding three different weapons, slowly condensing.
Zhou Chen didn't dare to slack off, a Xuan-level treasure knife appeared in his hand, there was no need to use a trick blade, because these spirit monsters were not real creatures.
The three figures emitted a faint light, releasing the aura of the middle stage of the foundation building realm, and slashed towards Zhou Chen.
In Zhou Chen's hand, the blade of the knife ignited with surging red flames, and the power of the white true yuan was released from his body, and he suddenly slashed forward.
"Flame Blade!" A low drink.
The flames surged forward like a tidal wave, and with a bang, the three spirit monsters were shaken back, and the weapons and bodies in their hands began to dim.
Zhou Chen was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Sure enough, you can brush three." ”
Zhou Chen raised his knife again, and with a jump, the flame blade slashed out again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three sounds sounded, and the bodies of the three spirit monsters in the field were slashed and exploded, turning into three strands of spiritual power, each of which was more condensed than the first layer.
Zhou Chen enjoyed the wonderful power brought by the three spiritual powers, when the three spiritual powers entered Zhou Chen's body, they were quickly absorbed by the dantian through the meridians, and were directly transformed into true yuan, Zhou Chen could feel that the number of true yuan in the dantian had been replenished.
"You can try four." Zhou Chen didn't wait for the spirit monsters in the field to continue to refresh, and directly buckled the control stick on the four lines.
This time Zhou Chen's face was cold, and he didn't dare to slack off, these were four spirit monsters in the middle of the foundation building realm, the treasure knife in his hand ignited red and black flames, covered by sword intent to the sky, and dense sword intent shattered light appeared in the cultivation room, this kind of means can be said to be Zhou Chen's strongest state at present, of course, there is still a hole card that has not yet come out.
The expected destruction did not appear, the range covered by the sword technique could not directly surround the four spirit monsters, Zhou Chen needed to withstand the attack of another spirit monster every time he slashed down, Zhou Chen immediately opened his own Nine Turns Xuanguang Step, increased his speed, and effectively dodged the attack of the spirit monster.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of metal collision continued to sound in the field, and the aftermath of the explosion continued to spread, and Zhou Chen slashed all four spirit monsters after resisting the three attacks of the spirit monsters.
"It's okay to be at this level, but it should be my limit." Zhou Chen looked at his injuries, there were a few blood marks on his body, this is the strength of the physical body, otherwise the injury would definitely not be so light.
Zhou Chen originally planned to cultivate in the second layer for four days, but after thinking about it, the reward was half a month, and he didn't say how many layers he was, so it should be no problem to cultivate for eight days.
Facing the four spirit monsters alone, Zhou Chen's every slash was a full shot, and the consumption was extremely high, but after the spirit monsters were slashed, the true yuan was filled again, and the cultivation effect of this kind of evacuation and refilling was the best, which could make the true yuan become extremely condensed, which was faster and more effective than the way of spitting cultivation, absorption, transformation, and compression.
Eight days later......
An elder opened the iron door of Zhou Chen's cultivation room, and said a little angrily: "Why are you still here, the Purgatory Tower is going to be closed......"
"What? Four Spirits! The elder looked at the field dumbfounded, Zhou Chen fought against the four spirit monsters alone, and slashed at the spirit monsters violently, the vast sword intent in the field, red, black flames, and white true yuan, flew wildly, dazzling, and the elders who saw it were dazzled and directly shocked.
When Zhou Chen slashed the four spirit monsters, the elder swallowed his saliva and muttered in his heart: "This guy is too fierce, in the early stage of the foundation building realm, he killed four spirit monsters in the middle stage of the foundation building realm, this Nima is even more monster than the spirit monster!" And it's a knife repair! ”
After absorbing the four spiritual powers, Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at the elder suspiciously, with a question mark on his head.
The elder came back to his senses and said, "When the opening hours of the Purgatory Tower are over, you are the only one left in this tower, leave quickly, otherwise the Purgatory Tower will be closed, and it will be dangerous to stay inside." ”
It turned out that the opening time of the Purgatory Tower had arrived, Zhou Chen came to his senses, clasped his fists at the elder, and said, "Thank you for the elder's reminder, I will leave now." ”
Zhou Chen walked to the wall, put away the token, and followed the elder out of the Purgatory Tower, along the way, the elder looked at Zhou Chen with a strange expression.
When Zhou Chen walked out of the Purgatory Tower, he stretched his waist, although his body was very tired, his mood was extremely happy.
At this time, Zhou Chen's whole person seemed to be fished out of the pile of corpses, his body was covered with blood scabs, his body was covered with scars caused by various weapons, his hair was stained on his face with sweat and blood, and his body was covered with stinky sweat and sludge, but he was full of energy.
These eight days have not allowed Zhou Chen to break through to the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm, but it has been infinitely close, and his strength has improved like a fly.
"This trip to the Purgatory Tower has gained too much, if only I could come here often to cultivate in the future." Zhou Chen said with a little regret, because he would have to contribute points when he came in the future.
"Everything is too much, after a long time of fighting, you need to digest and understand, so that you can better precipitate, and the constant fighting will only indulge yourself in the pleasure of fighting, and over time you will become a thirst for killing, and become a demon who is greedy for the pleasure of killing." Lie Tianzun reminded solemnly.
"Yes, teacher, I remember!" Zhou Chen said sincerely, if it weren't for Lie Tianzun often mentioning it in his ear, Zhou Chen felt that his cultivation would take a lot of detours, and he was also very grateful and respected for Lie Tianzun in his heart.
"It's time to take care of something." Zhou Chen's face became serious and said coldly.
Zhou Chen returned to his courtyard, washed up, changed into a new martial robe, and prepared to go to Elder Luo first to return the token.
Elder Luo lived in the Elders' House, and Zhou Chen met Elder Luo very smoothly.
"Oh? Did you go to the second floor? Not...... It's already broken into the foundation building realm, which is good. Elder Luo looked at Zhou Chen with satisfaction, nodded with a smile.
Zhou Chen didn't tell Elder Luo that he had gone to the second layer to cultivate, but Elder Luo knew it by looking at the contribution value consumed by the token in his hand, because fifteen days could not consume so much contribution value at the first layer.
Zhou Chen was a little embarrassed, touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Well, I went to the second layer, and I originally planned to cultivate for four days, but I forgot about it, and I didn't realize until the Purgatory Tower was closed." ”
"Haha...... It doesn't matter, these contribution points don't have much effect on me anymore, if you need to enter the Purgatory Tower to cultivate in the future, ask me to get a token. Elder Luo waved his hand and smiled indifferently.
"Elder Luo, this ......" Zhou Chen was a little surprised.
Elder Luo waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Chen and said, "This is not for you, but for you to lend it temporarily, now you don't have the ability to contribute to the Tianyuan Sect, then you owe it first, and then you will repay this debt when you have this ability in the future." ”
Zhou Chen understood when he heard this, this was Elder Luo's investment in him, and he would give it back to Tianyuan Sect if he had the ability in the future, but this was more than a transaction, no matter how he thought about it, Zhou Chen would not lose money, so he gladly accepted it.
"The disciple understands, and he will not forget!" Zhou Chen gave Elder Luo a deep bow and said with a serious face.
With a smile on his face, Elder Luo nodded and looked at Zhou Chen, very satisfied with Zhou Chen's answer.
"Elder Luo, I came here this time to say goodbye to you, I have been away from home for many years, and I want to go home to take a look." Zhou Chen said.
"It's for the sake of the family, it's okay, I'll come back when you've taken care of it." Elder Luo had asked Elder Lu about Zhou Chen in the past few days, and he also knew some things about him.
"Disciple farewell!" Zhou Chen bowed and said.
Elder Luo smiled and nodded.
Zhou Chen left the Elders' Courtyard, went to the Female Disciples' Courtyard, and went to Liu Dahai and Zhang Erbao's courtyard, and made an appointment to get together in the evening.
…
Zhou Chen's disciple courtyard
"Zhou Chen, this is wrong, the area around your courtyard is too quiet? Even if the location is a little remote, it won't be so quiet. Liu Erbao said.
"They have all moved away, and I am the only one living within a radius of 300 zhang." Zhou Chen said indifferently.
"Did you do something that people and gods are angry about?" Zhou Lianyi added that the woman's sixth sense told her that this matter must be Zhou Chen's reason.
"It's none of my business, they said that there was a problem with the Spirit Gathering Array, and there was no aura, so they moved away." Zhou Chen said with a haha.
The three of them showed expressions of disbelief, there was a problem with the disciple courtyard within a radius of three hundred zhang? Is your aura so strong? Who believes.
Zhou Chen ignored them and roasted the meat of the demon beast by himself.
"Hey, the meat of the demon beast is almost gone, but it's a pity, you may not be able to eat it for the time being." Zhou Chen diverted the topic.
"What's so difficult about this, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is so close, let's go kill some of them." Zhou Lianyi said.
"I'm going to leave Tianyuan Sect for a while." Zhou Chen's demeanor changed and he said seriously.
"Leave? Where to? Zhang Erbao asked suspiciously.
"I want to go to Qingyang City to deal with some things." Zhou Chen replied.
"The five families? I hear something that you might be interested in. Zhang Erbao said.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Chen stopped what he was doing and looked at Liu Erbao.
"Since the last outer door competition, Lin Yuyi has left the sect, I don't know where to go, a few days ago, the Lu family from Qingyang City came to pick up the abolished Lu Feiyu, I heard that Lu Feiyu is now mentally problematic, crazy, the sect should have notified these families, including the Qin family, the Lin family, the Xing family and the death of the heirs of the Zhao family."
"Lin Yuyi?" Zhou Chen squinted his eyes and muttered.
Zhou Chen didn't retaliate against Lin Yuyi, he felt that it was unnecessary, after all, the initiator was Lu Feiyu, and Lin Yuyi was just used, and he was deceived, partly because of his own problems, he could only say that he was too stupid to be deceived, which was also a lesson for him, plus Lin Yuyi was originally from a hard background, and Zhou Chen didn't plan to worry about her.
As for the Lin family, the Xing family, and the Zhao family, they will turn against them when they go back this time anyway, even if their families know the death of those people, there is no difference.
"Want to help?" Liu Dahai asked.
Liu Dahai didn't have so many words, and his speech was very simple.
"No, I don't want to implicate you, I can solve this matter myself." Zhou Chen shook his head and said.
The three were silent and did not speak.
