Pang Jian had a nightmare.

In the dream, the painful feeling of being eaten by thousands of ants when he woke up seemed to become real.

What is different is that in his dream, it is not thousands of ants, but countless dancing phoenixes.

Countless tiny dusty phoenixes soared through his sternum and two arms, showing a miraculous demeanor in his bone marrow, bringing him unspeakable pain and torture.

Compared to the severe pain this time, Sun Bin wandered his body with lightning and tested his talent, which was nothing at all.

Maybe it's the same, the last time he could grit his teeth and hold on, this time he fainted on the spot.

I don't know how long it took, Pang Jian, who had a high fever in his body, finally woke up quietly.

"Why did you kid get sick all of a sudden?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Pang Jian saw Zhou Qingchen, who was guarding on the side, sitting cross-legged on the ground, biting a piece of grass in his mouth, and smiling at him: "How do you feel now?" ”

Pang Jian tried to move his neck and arms, but found that his neck rattled, as if it had been stiff for a long time.

"Hmm!"

His eyebrows moved, and he felt as if he had been blessed with unknown divine power, and his whole body had an inexhaustible strength, and the rib cage bones gave him a strange illusion that was as hard as gold and iron.

When he shook his two arms, he felt that his arm bones had also been tempered, which was obviously different from before.

The body was full of strangeness, but it was inconvenient to talk to Zhou Qingchen more, so he had to ask around the corner: "Zhou Gongzi, I heard that the third realm of cultivators is what is the marrow washing realm?" ”

When questioned, he thought of the strange picture of many divine phoenixes soaring over his arm bones and bone marrow in his dream.

"Do you know what this is for? I haven't even succeeded in purging the marrow, so don't even think about it. ”

Zhou Qingchen smiled dumbly, and explained his doubts in detail: "The first realm of all of us's cultivation path is to practice qi, and we need to guide the aura of heaven and earth into the dantian spiritual sea. The Qi Refining Realm stage is a process of accumulation, and the overall strength has not been qualitatively improved, and it is not much stronger than mortals who don't know how to cultivate. ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "The Tongmai Realm is different. ”

"After arriving at the Tongmai Realm, we can infuse the spiritual power in the dantian into the tendons and veins of our limbs. When the muscles and veins are filled with spiritual power, the cultivator becomes infinitely powerful, and can also spread outward through his limbs, thus bursting out with amazing power. ”

He stretched out a hand, pulled up his cuffs to reveal half of his forearm, and immediately secretly exerted force.

Pang Jian clearly saw that there was a dark red glimmer flowing in the veins of his forearm, all the way to the palm of his hand.

"Wow!"

A cloud of crimson aura suddenly rose from his palm, and then he skillfully controlled it, slowly turning into a small crimson mountain.

He slapped it casually, and smashed the illusory "Red Mountain" floating in the palm of his hand into a huge stone next to him.

"Bang!"

The stone burst with a bang.

"This is the power of the Pulse Realm."

Zhou Qingchen calmly demonstrated.

The movement he made attracted the attention of the two families of Zhou Ning in the distance, including Shangguanqin.

"As for the marrow washing realm, it is called bone washing and marrow washing, focusing on the tempering of bones, flesh and blood, and viscera. Those who have completed the realm of marrow often mean that they have been reborn and have washed away the mortal body. ”

Zhou Qingchen's eyes showed a little arrogance, and he raised his head and said: "When I arrive at the marrow washing realm, I will be able to wash away the impurities hidden in my flesh and bones, and it will not delay my cultivation in the Red Mountain." ”

He told Pang Jian that because the spiritual energy of the Fourth Realm was not pure enough, Qi Refiners who practiced in this Realm would naturally retain filthy impurities in their bodies.

When he officially steps into the Red Mountain in the future, he will first break through the marrow washing realm and complete his own rebirth.

"Wash the marrow, cut the bones and wash the marrow."

Pang Jian muttered thoughtfully in a low voice, feeling that when he was in a state of fainting, he was tempered by some unknown supernatural power, and his sternum and hand bones were tempered.

He suspected that it was the cluster of vanished amber glimmers, but he couldn't find conclusive evidence, and he didn't want to ask Zhou Qingchen for advice.

It was already evening, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and it looked like it was about to fall.

After a deep conversation with Zhou Qingchen, Pang Jian looked at the surrounding environment and saw the Ning family's war horses resting together.

Those servants of the Zhou family are cooking on the fire at the moment, and Ning Yao and Ning Yuanshan are not far from the fire, but they still keep a certain distance from the Zhou family.

The estrangement has arisen, and the Zhou and Ning families are no longer in harmony, and the two sides have begun to wary of each other.

Han Duping, who is good at breaking formations, was busy harassing Shangguan Qin with a hippie smile, as if he couldn't see the boredom on her face.

Pang Jian stood up slowly, looked at the mountain behind him, and looked at the location where the sound of running water was coming from.

Then he saw a small waterfall, drooping down from the mountain peak behind him, and gathered in a large pool of dark water.

The water that falls into the waterfall is crystal clear, but when it falls into the pool, it turns black, which is a bit strange.

Near the mountain wall, there is a protruding ...... The huge dry bones, without a trace of luster released, surprised Pang Jian, and shouted: "Tianfeng's bones? ”

Zhou Qingchen nodded with a smile and said, "Most of the bones have penetrated deep into the bottom of the pool, and only one section is exposed. ”

"I have carefully examined you when you were in a coma with a high fever, and there is nothing strange about this dry bone. It is not the so-called divine bone with the inheritance of talent that all parties have been searching for. ”

Zhou Qingchen had long decided in his heart that the bones with the talent to inherit divine power would never appear in the Fourth Realm.

Pang Jian thought of the dry bone with a mysterious glimmer of light inside, and even if there was no Tianfeng inheritance, every dry bone that fell from the sky also concealed some wonders.

"You don't have to worry, we are very cautious this time, as long as there is another earthquake, we will evacuate as soon as possible."

Zhou Qingchen's mentality was very relaxed, and he took it for granted that the changes that occurred around the dry bones would still be accompanied by the roar of the earthquake.

"Blackwater? Black Water Pool! ”

Pang Jian looked at the pool behind him, and after being stunned, his face became extremely heavy, and he suddenly shouted: "This place is not safe, you shouldn't camp here!" ”

He remembered!

This area with the Black Water Pool, which his father listed as one of the forbidden areas of the Cen Lin Mountains, made it clear that he should not set foot in it.

He obeyed his father's orders, and he had not been in all the places that his father had designated as forbidden areas for all these years.

Because he has a younger sister to take care of, he is reluctant to take risks, for fear that he will disappear like his father, so that Pang Lin's life will usher in the darkest moment.

Pang Lin has not yet grown up, and she lost her father at a young age, and she must never lose him again.

"What's wrong here?"

Zhou Qingchen asked Pang Jian while beckoning to Han Duping, asking Han Duping to stop stalking around Shangguanqin.

Seeing Han Duping's eyes, he immediately shouted: "Old Han, you ask everyone to prepare, we have to leave this place as soon as possible." ”

After the last experience, he now believes in Pang Jian unconditionally, and does what he says.

He and Pang Jian immediately walked in the direction where the war horse was.

Ning Yao and Ning Yuanshan were still discussing in a low voice whether to go to the Far North, and they were suddenly nervous by their actions.

Shangguan Qin also felt uneasy, and before Pang Jian could come over, she left Han Duping and ran towards the jujube red war horse.

However, before she could come to the war horse, all the horses, including the jujube red war horse, one after another, all foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, all the horses fell to the ground and died of poison.

"Zhang Heng!"

Ning Yuanshan was furious and roared towards the forest: "I asked you to feed the horses, what are you feeding?!" ”

"I'm afraid that this person you recruited deliberately poisoned all the war horses." Han Du's plane was dark, he sensed that something was wrong, and shouted: "He said that the water in the black pool is not very clean, and he went to other places to find a water source, I think he should be looking for someone!" ”

"He poisoned the war horse, so that we can't escape calmly." Zhou Qingchen interjected in a deep voice.

The son of the Zhou family, who was not too frightened, and Pang Jian came to everyone, looked at the direction where Zhang Heng left, and then looked at the black pool behind him, as well as the towering and smooth rock wall.

Behind them, it is obviously impossible to be their retreat.

Although there are trees and littered grass in front of them, the terrain is quite open and can be evacuated in any direction.

"Our seven major families, before the appearance of a sufficiently eye-catching treasure, generally rarely completely tears their faces." As a genius of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingchen, who has enough confidence regardless of identity and confidence, was not afraid, and said coldly: "I want to see which one it is, dare to attack me Zhou Qingchen!" ”

"It is worthy of being the selected genius seed of Red Mountain."

There was a hoarse voice, and then someone was seen riding a python, unhurriedly emerging from the depths of the dead grass.

The bucket-thick python has black and white patterns, and the snake hyacinth is uncertain, and the snake's eyes shine with a fierce green light.

The man who came riding the snake was dressed in loose clothes with the same pattern as the python, and his hands were tucked into his sleeves, as thin as bamboo poles.

"Old Hongtai was also a member of the Blood Moon in his early years, but unfortunately he was expelled from the Blood Moon a hundred years ago. Hey, I can't stay in the upper realm, so I can only mess around in the lower realm. The snake rider smiled and declared his name.

"Sand! Rustling! ”

After he appeared, many people who did not have uniform clothing emerged from the waist-high weeds one after another.

Zhang Heng was also among them.

"Hongtai?"

"Hong Tai!"

Juniors like Zhou Qingchen and Ning Yao were unfamiliar with this name, and they looked confused when they heard this.

Han Duping changed color slightly, looked at Hong Tai who came riding a snake, and whispered to Zhou Qingchen: "He is a dark ghost." ”

"Dark ghosts?"

Pang Jian was at a loss.

Zhou Qingchen, Ning Yao, and Ning Yuanshan, when they heard that the person was from a dark ghost, the expressions on their faces suddenly became ugly.

In the Fourth Realm, where they are located, the strongest sects and forces are naturally the Seven Great Families.

The Seven Great Families and the sects of the Upper Realm have more or less some origins, and they can be regarded as the official and orthodox of this realm, controlling the seven major areas with the most abundant cultivation resources.

The seven major families have close contacts with each other, and the relationship is relatively harmonious on the surface, and there are few endless conflicts that break out.

The Dark Ghost is a cultivator force that wanders in the shadows and broken lands outside the Seven Great Families.

The so-called dark ghost refers to the lonely ghost in the dark depths.

The Seven Great Families often work together to encircle and suppress dark ghosts, but this organization knows how to sneak and escape, and it has not been cleaned up so far, and it is still active in dark corners.

Who is the leader of the dark ghosts and what realm they are cultivating in, the seven major families have not figured it out until now.

They only knew that the Dark Ghost Leader had recruited some evil cultivators who couldn't get along in the Upper Realm, so that they could have a hiding place in the Lower Realm.

"The disintegration of the Tianfeng Divine Remains, and the bones falling into all the heavens and the earth, since we dark ghosts have received the news, we naturally want to try our luck."

Hong Tai pointed at Zhang Heng and introduced him generously: "He is my dark ghost, and he has long been lurking in the Ning family. There are many members of the dark ghosts like him in your seven major families, but you don't know it. ”

"It's only at certain critical moments that they reveal their identities and do something big for us."

Listening to him bluntly, there are still many characters like Zhang Heng, and Zhou Qingchen and others are in a heavy mood.

"Okay, let's not talk about gossip, let's get down to business first."

Hong Tai clapped his hands, no longer wasting time, and ordered with a smile: "Except for the two women, the rest are slaughtered, and there is no need to leave me alive." ”
