When Li Yuan returned to the inn, it was already late at night, Yuan Yao had already fallen asleep, and Li Yunqing was cultivating and had not fallen asleep.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Yunqing withdrew from the cultivation state.

"How? Did you find out anything? Li Yunqing asked softly.

Li Yuan carefully told Li Yunqing about the news he had inquired about, and discussed countermeasures.

………

Early the next morning.

The morning light shines through the gap in the window and casts on the bed, bright and shining.

Yuan Yao's closed eyes slowly opened a small slit, yawned, and murmured, "Xiao Yuan, why don't you close the window!" ”

"It's time to go." Li Yuandao.

After Yuan Yao got up and washed, he called Shi Chen, and the group of four people left the inn and headed towards the southwest of the town.

The whole town was shrouded in a faint red mist, which made the morning sun, which was not strong, even softer.

The transportation station in the town is not far from the inn where Li Yuan and several people live.

According to the route of the inn Xiao Er, after passing through several small streets, you will see a square more than 300 zhang wide and more than 500 zhang long.

On the square, there are hundreds of elephant and horse beasts, as well as more than 20 huge clouded leopard beasts, the latter of which has long white hair all over their bodies, and their bodies are all five or six zhang.

It may be the reason why Yunliu City can only enter and not leave, and there are not many figures in the huge square.

Seeing that a guest came to the door, a middle-aged woman who had stepped on the middle stage of the realm of cultivation came over and asked Li Yuan and the others respectfully, "A few adults, do you want to rent a mount?" ”

"Yes. How do you rent a clouded leopard? Li Yuan responded.

The middle-aged woman said respectfully: "I don't know where the adults are going?" ”

"Yunliu City, are you going? How much does it cost? ”

"This ...... During this time, we can't go to Yunliu City. The middle-aged woman smiled awkwardly, "Your Excellency should have heard that Yunliu City is only entering and not exiting now, and it is very strictly checked."

"If the adults really want to go, they can only send you a hundred miles outside the city. The rest of the way has to be done by the adults. If you are willing, you will only be charged eighty medium-grade yuan stones for the four of you.

"Business is not doing well during this time. This fee is only 30% of what it is on weekdays. ”

The middle-aged woman was afraid that Li Yuan and the others would not ride, so she hurriedly added another sentence.

Li Yuan pretended to think for a moment, and said lightly: "Okay." Now it's time to go! ”

The middle-aged woman looked around, saw that there were no other guests, and said, "Okay!" Wait a minute. ”

After a short time, the middle-aged woman led a clouded leopard beast over, and there were two animal tamers who specialized in controlling the clouded leopard beast, both of whom had completed their cultivation in the virtual realm.

A third-level earth spirit-like human primordial cannot be controlled, only a specialized beast tamer can do it.

For Li Yuan, it was not difficult to drive the third-level earth spirit, but the route to Yunliu City was not clear.

The middle-aged woman handed a leather ticket to Li Yuan, who glanced at it and immediately paid eighty medium-grade yuan stones.

On the back of the clouded leopard beast, a wooden house with fine workmanship was built, almost three zhang long and two zhang wide, divided into two rooms, inside and outside.

The outer room can seat fourteen people on both sides, and the inner room can seat six people, which is relatively spacious.

"Let's go!" After Li Yuan sat down, he instructed the two animal trainers outside.

The clouded leopard beast let out a beastly roar, and under the command of the beast trainer, it rushed towards the outside of the square.

The distance from Hongyun Town to Yunliu City is nearly 1,000 miles in a straight line, and the route traveled by the clouded leopard beast is rugged, and it needs to avoid dense woods to avoid being attacked by demon beasts, resulting in a greatly lengthened route.

………

As night fell, the fog filled.

"You two, how long will it take to get to Yunliu City now?" Li Yuan asked the animal trainer outside the house.

"Back to my lord, there are still more than 300 miles. At night, for safety, the speed of travel will be slower. It is estimated that it will arrive at a hundred miles outside Yunliu City, and it will not be dawn tomorrow. One of the trainers replied respectfully.

Another trainer took out dozens of yellow sticks from the storage bag, lit them, and fastened them to shelves around the clouded leopard beast, with dozens of sticks stuck in front of the head.

The yellow sticks burn slowly, emitting yellow smoke and a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

The clouded leopard beast snorted and pushed the smoke forward several feet.

Because the speed is much slower than during the day, it is less than half the normal speed of the elephant horse.

Most of the Earth Spirit's body was shrouded in yellow smoke, and it carried a long trail behind it.

The red mist that filled the forest met the yellow smoke and magically dispersed.

Li Yuan opened the door, opened the curtain, observed the burning yellow stick, and asked, "Master, what are you plugged around?" ”

The beast tamer who had just lit the Huangyun Rock Wood replied, "Your Excellency doesn't know about this thing, it must have come from outside the Luoyun Mountain Range."

"This is the Yellow Cloud Rock Wood, which is very common in our place, and its only function is to disperse the mist that pervades the Falling Cloud Mountain Range and prevent the attack of the demon beasts hidden in the mist. Those demon beasts were very jealous of Huangyun Yanmu. ”

Huangyun Rock Wood has such an effect, which Li Yuan didn't expect.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuan spent a medium-grade yuan stone to buy ninety percent of the sticks made of Huangyun rock wood on the two animal trainers.

"By the way, is there really no other big city nearby besides Yunliu City?"

Li Yuan put away the Huangyun Rock Wood and continued to inquire about the two beast trainers.

"There is only one big city in a radius of six thousand miles from Yunliu City. There are a few towns, and our Red Cloud Town is the largest one. Another trainer, who was sitting on the right side of the carriage, replied.

"I heard that there is a big city nearby, although there is a strong man in the Nirvana Realm of the Liu family, but it is not completely controlled by the Liu family." The animal trainer on the left answered.

Hearing this, Li Yuan hurriedly asked, "What city?" In what location? Far away? ”

"The Meteor City of the Flowing Moon Country should be three or four thousand miles away from Yunliu City!" The animal trainer on the left replied.

Another animal trainer added, "Meteor City is in the southwest of the Falling Cloud Mountains, and it's not easy to pass through from what is now northeast. You need to climb over the entire Falling Cloud Mountains. ”

The night was dark and foggy.

It was rare for someone to talk to the beast tamer, and they talked a lot along the way, Li Yuan heard some things related to the Liu family from them, and he also learned a lot about the situation around Yunliu City.

On the second day, it was just dawn.

On the wide mountain road, the clouded leopard beast slowly stopped.

On one side of the mountain road is a straight cliff, and on the other side is an abyss.

The occasional rolling down of the mountain rocks and the sound of colliding with the cliff wall echoed in the mountains for a long time.

"Adults, we've arrived. The rest of the way is up to you.

"There are few demon beasts around Yunliu City, and they are only first- and second-level demon beasts. There are mostly three red-blooded bats, but they are afraid of the yellow cloud rockwood.

"We can only deliver here. Further back, if it is discovered by the people of the Liu family, it will be difficult to get out. Over there is Yunliu City. ”

After one of the animal trainers finished speaking, he pointed to the lush mountains to the northwest, and the outline of a huge city was faintly visible, and at this time, the light was not very sufficient, and it was not very clear to see.

After Li Yuan and the others got out of the car, the two animal trainers gave a salute and drove the clouded leopard beast back.

With a flick of his fingers, several Huangyunyan wooden sticks flew out, Li Yuan lit them, and the yellow smoke drifted away with a fragrance.

As far as the eye could see, between the rolling peaks, there was an area of blood-red fog that was thicker than other places, as if it was to the west of Yunliu City.

"It's finally almost time to reach Yunliu City." Li Yunqing slowly spoke, the destination was in front of her, but a solemnity appeared on her face: "Xiao Yuanzi, are we really not going into the city?" ”

"Don't go in." Li Yuan nodded and said, "The west of the city is weird, let's go around it from outside the city." When I inquired in Hongyun Town before, I learned that although the Liu family's mansion was in Yunliu City, the place where the clansmen cultivated was in the ancestral house outside the west of the city.

It is said that Liu Tianyun was also in retreat there. It must be the area of red fog that is particularly thick. ”

"Hmm." Li Yunqing bowed slightly, and glanced between the mountains, "Otherwise, let's wait here until the sun comes out before leaving!" ”

"Xiao Yuan, I don't think that place seems to be safe, do you really want to go?" Before Li Yuan could speak, Yuan Yao hurriedly said.

Looking at the red area, with her bloodline reaction, plus the previous three red blood bats, there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart.

Yuan Yao's words made Li Yuan hesitate, Nine Illusion Yuan was naturally sensitive to dangerous places.

The Spirit is asleep, and he has to make up his mind.

Li Yuan pondered again and again, and left, slightly unwilling.

If there is no accident, with the help of the Yuan Bone in their body, they will enter the Nirvana realm, and it is estimated that it will only be five to ten years.

After entering Nirvana, Li Yuan didn't think about using Zong Yuan Dan to assist in cultivation, but directly used Zi Yuan Dan.

There are so many obstacles in the future, and if you give up every time you encounter danger, it is difficult to improve your cultivation.

"Xiao Yaoyao, I decided to take a look. Since they are all here, I am not willing to go back.

"If you really encounter any big enemy, when the time comes, you and I will join forces and kill him without leaving a piece of armor, you can't back down.

"Don't be so afraid of death, you have to be worthy of the Yuan Beast bloodline." Li Yuan looked at Yuan Yao and said with a smile.

Yuan Yao already knew that Li Yuan had made up his mind, and he no longer struggled fearlessly, so he could only nod silently.

………

The sun finally climbed into the sky, and the golden light washed away the mist in the mountains and forests.

Li Yuan and the others headed towards the west of Yunliu City.

Take a detour through the mountains and forests to avoid exposure.

Six hours later, the group finally touched the west of Yunliu City.

At this time, the sunset has set, the forest is dim, the moon is light, and there is nothingness.

Four yellow dolomite rocks lit and held them in their hands to dispel the surrounding mist.

Looking up at the night sky through the gaps between the leaves, I don't know if it was because of the fog, the hazy full moon turned blood red.

There are constantly beast roars all around, which is very scary.

Li Yuan paused, and suddenly spoke: "Ahead should be the ancestral house of the Liu family!" ”

When Li Yunqing and the others heard this, they all looked in the direction that Li Yuan was pointing.

The trees in front of him were thinning, and the fog of the night sky was faintly visible in the distance.

After a moment's pause, they quickly dodged into the thorn bushes beneath a massive rock.

Putting aside the thorns and revealing a small gap, Yuan Yao frowned and muttered in a low voice: "With such a big mansion, why isn't there even a guard at the door?" ”

At this moment, Yuan Yao's uneasiness in his heart was even stronger.

Not far ahead of the dense thorns, a square paved with boulders is enough to see a hundred feet square.

On the opposite side of the square, the courtyard wall is dozens of feet high, connected with the steep mountain walls on both sides.

In the middle of the courtyard wall, on both sides of the giant courtyard gate, there are two red lanterns of three zhang size, on which there is a big "willow" character.

In front of the door, there are two huge statues of three red blood bats, almost eleven or twelve feet high.

Li Yuan released his soul power, slowly dispersed, jumped over the courtyard gate, and explored the situation in the courtyard.

The building in the courtyard is imposing like a rainbow.

Due to the topography, all the buildings are built according to the cliffs on both sides, slowly extending inward, getting wider and wider inward, and gradually upward.

Seven or eight miles into it, and then it came to an end.

At the end of the house, there is a large hall with a plaque of "Purple Cloud Palace", and there are many people queuing up to submit things.

Li Yuan took a closer look, and it turned out to be all purple withered grass, and he was immediately excited.

From the conversation between the Yuan, it was learned that at this moment, it was the time for the Liu family to submit to the mountain to pick purple withered grass.

In the Luoyun Mountain Range, the location where the purple withered grass grows is only known to the core members of the Liu family.

Opposite the main hall, there is also a medicine garden of dozens of acres, like a small purple lake, planted with purple withered grass.

However, in terms of quality, it is much worse than the herbs that those Yuan people pick from outside.

If these cultivated purple withered grasses are used to refine medicine, the requirements for the alchemist's alchemy level are extremely high.

Otherwise, all that is refined is waste pills.

When it comes to the pill of Wang Dan's grade, there are not many yuan of pills for long-term use.

Erysipelas is too heavy, and most of Wang Dan is used by the powerhouses of the Nirvana Realm.

When the Yuan person reaches this realm, the cultivation is already slow, and if there is too much erysipelas hoarded in the body, the cultivation can be regarded as a complete stop.

The purple withered grass in the garden made Li Yuan extremely excited.

As long as the other six materials are raised, the purple withered grass here can fully satisfy the cultivation of dozens of Yuan Beings to the late stage of the Nirvana Realm.

From a distance, the purple withered grass seems to exude a faint purple halo, but up close, it is just a purple withered grass, lifeless and inconspicuous.

In the mansion, there are hundreds of people from the Liu family, and there is only one in the Nirvana Realm, reaching the peak of the early stage of the Nirvana Realm.

Li Yuan slowly withdrew his soul power, acting extremely excited and excited.

After half a ring, when his mood calmed down, he said in a deep voice: "After midnight, I sneaked in, and you wait for me here." ”

"I'll go with you!" Li Yunqing immediately spoke.

"No way!" Li Yuan said categorically, "I have already found out where the purple withered grass is stored, I can take it alone, and the large number of people will alarm them." ”

"But ......"

"Little aunt, don't worry, even if it is discovered by the people of the Liu family, it won't be able to trap me."

………

At the third watch, a black figure rushed out from the thorn bushes outside the ancestral house of the Liu family, opposite the square, quickly floated across the square, jumped onto the courtyard wall, and fell into the courtyard.

Under the black robe, there was a faint blue and silver thunder arc flickering.

Sniffing the mist shrouded in the ancestral house of the Liu family with his nose, the smell of blood was very strong, Li Yuan pressed the black cloak, and walked along the depths of the courtyard with the help of the hazy red moonlight and the dim light in the lanterns outside some small courtyards.

At the gate of the medicine garden opposite the Purple Cloud Hall, the three figures sat on wooden chairs, snuggling up to each other and sleeping soundly.

A thunderbolt blade suddenly appeared, quickly striking at the heads of several figures.

When the three of them were about to fall, a black figure swept out, and the majestic Yuan Force straightened it.

Then, the black figure flashed into the medicine garden.

Looking at the purple withered grass in the garden, Li Yuan was overjoyed.

Leaned over and touched the soil in the medicine garden, grabbed a handful, rubbed it on his fingers, and sniffed it again, he secretly said in his heart: "This should be the purple cloud mud that the spirit said." I didn't expect the Liu family to get so much, no wonder they were able to cultivate so much purple withered grass. ”

The quality of the purple withered grass in the medicine garden is a little difficult for others to use for refining medicine, but for Li Yuan, there is no problem.

Putting down the purple cloud mud in his hand, he flashed in the garden, and all the purple withered grass in the garden was included in the Yun ring.

Put away the materials, shake your body, and sweep out of the medicine garden.
