What Ruan Manqiu had in his hand made Li Yuan a little disappointed.

It's not that he doesn't think it's bad, it's just that it's not of much use to him.

What Shui Jing handed over to Ruan Manqiu back then was a map.

This is also the reason why Nguyen Manchu opened this map shop in Baobian camp.

This map depicts a mine containing the finest black iron.

For the alchemist, this is undoubtedly a crazy treasure.

Because most of the earth treasures need to be added to the Xuanjing black iron as an auxiliary material in the refining process.

It's not the main material, but it's indispensable.

For a sect, having enough earth treasures will undoubtedly greatly increase its strength and heritage.

The high-grade Xuanjing Black Iron was extremely attractive even for a behemoth like the Tianyun Sect.

And this mine is located in the territory of the Tianyun Sect.

Although the Tianyun Sect was aware of the existence of the high-grade Xuanjing Black Iron Vein, it did not know its specific location.

After understanding the true value of the map, Li Yuan put away his previous thoughts about getting this thing, which made Ruan Manqiu's worries alleviate a lot.

Subsequently, through Ruan Manqiu's narration, Li Yuan had a deeper understanding of the situation in the Wenhe area.

The three of them talked until dusk, and then they went back to their rooms.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the streets of Huangxuan Yuanzhou, adding a bit of tranquility and warmth to this busy place.

And in this tranquility, Ruan Manqiu and Li Yuan's hearts were surging with their own thoughts and plans.

Li Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, was about to immerse himself in cultivation, when he suddenly felt a change in his sleeve.

He gently lifted his sleeves, only to see a half-foot-long white dragon suddenly burst out, the dragon's body was vigorous, and the dragon's eyes flickered.

The little dragon shook his head, and the dragon's tongue spat lightly, as if savoring the air around him.

It gently rubbed Li Yuan's palm with its small dragon horn, as if seeking attention.

Li Yuan looked at the smart and cute little dragon at his wrist, his handsome face couldn't help but show a hint ......of joy, and said softly: "Xiaobai, are you awake?"

The little white dragon seemed to understand Li Yuan's words, and his little head nodded lightly, looking very cute.

However, Li Yuan knew that although Xiaobai had woken up at this moment, his consciousness had not yet fully recovered.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said lightly: "It's been a few months, and I almost forgot about you." ”

In this world where the strong are like forests, he must always be vigilant and not allow the slightest slack.

After months of arduous trekking, Li Yuan carefully took the hidden treasure saliva from the protection of the ice crystal python lion, and followed Su Yimo and the others out of the Wenmang Mountain Range.

As soon as he stepped out of the mountain range, he ran into a battle of half-step transformation patterns.

It was only at this moment that he was finally able to catch his breath, and the tension and pressure in his heart were slightly relieved.

Li Yuan flicked his fingers, and in a flash, a delicate jade bottle appeared in his hand.

He slowly opened the mouth of the bottle, and a rich and pure cold energy instantly floated out.

What was stored in the jade bottle was the treasure that he had obtained from the underground world of Icerock Valley.

The energy fluctuations emitted by the earth's treasure saliva overshadowed everything around it.

Feeling that powerful energy, the little white dragon's eyes suddenly widened, and he was attracted by the treasure of the earth.

It seems to have ambergris slowly flowing out of its mouth, and it has an endless desire for the treasure of the earth.

Before Li Yuan could make any movements, the little white dragon had already stretched out his neck, his head poked over like lightning, and he took the mouth of the bottle in one gulp.

Its movements are swift and decisive, as if it has long been ready to go.

The little white dragon's head was raised, and the saliva of the hidden treasure was directly poured into his throat.

The extremely cold Bao Yu was like a sweet elixir at the moment, making the little white dragon's eyes light up.

Li Yuan was taken aback by the little white dragon's swift movements, and hurriedly snatched the jade bottle over.

It burped and shook its head in great comfort, its eyes glinting with satisfaction.

Looking at the little white dragon's satisfied expression, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

However, Xiao Bailong's eyes shone brightly, and he was still staring at the jade bottle in his hand.

"You're smart, and you can see at a glance that the treasure saliva in the ground is of great benefit to you.

"However, while this thing is wonderful, it can hurt if you overdo it.

"You have taken enough today, and you can't chew it out."

Li Yuan shook his head with a smile, with a bit of pampering and admonition in his tone.

With a flick of his palm, the crystal clear jade bottle turned into a white glow and flew silently into the ring.

Xiao Bailong looked at Li Yuan's empty palm, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

It bowed its head slightly, and somewhat reluctantly burrowed into Li Yuan's sleeve robe.

Li Yuan felt the slight tremor coming from the sleeve robe, and gently patted the sleeve robe to soothe the little white dragon's emotions.

The little white dragon began to quietly absorb the energy in the saliva that had just been swallowed.

After a while, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and only the faint light emanating from Li Yuan and the little white dragon flickered.

As his cultivation progressed, Li Yuan could clearly feel the flow and growth of energy in his body.

He felt as if he was in a vast ocean, and endless energy was surging like a wave, absorbed by him one by one.

The little white dragon in the sleeve robe, a faint layer of dragon qi was permeated around its body, which was a sign that it was absorbing the energy of the earth's hidden treasure.

Although it couldn't feel the flow of energy as clearly as Li Yuan, it could feel that its body was getting stronger.

Time seems to slow and long in this moment.

………

The second day at dusk.

Huang Xuanyuanzhou slowly sailed across the sky, sprinkled by the afterglow of the setting sun.

The golden light flowed on the hull of the boat, like a golden dragon swimming in the clouds.

The mountains below are layered on top of each other, like the backbone of the earth.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, each mountain peak is clothed in a layer of brilliant colors, red, orange, gold, intertwined colors, like a fairyland.

In the distant sky, the outline of the city seems to be gradually clear.

Li Yuanpan sat on the bed, his eyes closed, and his breathing was steady and deep.

He had been like this all day, and the noise and discourse of the outside world could not disturb him.

Suddenly, a crisp bell breaks the silence of the room.

The ringtone is from low to high, like a mountain spring flowing water, pleasant to the ear, and like fairy music fluttering, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Li Yuan, who had been awakened from his cultivation state, slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.

The Huangxuan Yuanzhou was slowly sailing towards Qingwei City, and the outline of the city appeared clearer in the setting sun.

The ringtone is a unique cue to reach your destination.

He had specially explained before, when Huang Xuan Yuanzhou approached Qingwei City, he reminded him.

Huang Xuanyuan's boat didn't stop completely, but only slowed down slightly, and Li Yuan could feel the boat tremble slightly.

"Crunch—"

With a soft sound, Li Yuan pushed open the door, and the breeze was blowing, with a hint of coolness.

Teng Qing and Ruan Manqiu were already standing outside the door and waiting.

Ruan Manqiu was wearing a green coat, her posture was straight, there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and her body was recovering well.

"Senior Ruan, are you really not with me?" Li Yuan asked.

Ruan Manqiu had already told Li Yuan that she would not go to Qingwei City, but would go to a city with a teleportation channel and return directly to the Ruan clan in Jingshui.

In a place like Qingwei City, the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm is enough to be included in the strong ones, and in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm, a force that is not weak can be established.

For the half-step transformation realm, Qingwei City really doesn't have much attraction.

Ruan Manqiu waved his hand lightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "No, after leaving the family for more than ten years, it's time to go back and take a look."

"Although I have not interfered in the affairs of the clan over the years, the title of head of the family has always hung on me, and I should always do my duty."

Her eyes showed a bit of gratitude and solemnity: "Li Yuan, the old body owes you a favor."

"If you have any needs in the future, just come to Jingshui Ruan to find me."

When Li Yuan heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Senior Ruan, I do have something to ask for right now.

"I have a friend who, in the process of cultivation, suffered a severe backlash because he forcibly absorbed energy far beyond his own limit.

"Although I barely suppressed the power of the backlash in the end, my cultivation suffered a big loss."

He paused, his eyes revealing anticipation:

"As the head of one of the hundred families of Wenhe, my predecessor has a wide range of knowledge.

"I don't know if you know of any cultivation places nearby that can allow people whose cultivation has fallen sharply to quickly recover their strength?"

When Ruan Manqiu heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

She seemed to be recalling all kinds of information from the past, looking for clues related to the situation described by Li Yuan.

After a moment, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she had a little clue.

Ruan Manqiu spoke slowly, and there was a calmness in his voice: "The big drop in cultivation is indeed a tricky problem.

"However, you mentioned that you were backlashed by forcibly absorbing energy, which reminds me of a place - the Longshan Tan Clan."

"Longshan Tan Clan......" Li Yuan and Teng Qing heard this, and a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in their eyes.

They knew that Ruan Manqiu's mention of the Longshan Tan clan must be extraordinary.

Ruan Manqiu continued: "In the hinterland of the Longshan Tan clan, there is a mysterious place called Ziquan Tan.

"Although this Purple Spring Tan is not very helpful to the cultivation itself, it has a magical effect.

"It is said that it can restore the Yuan who has fallen sharply.

"There was once a senior of the Lingyun Sect, after his cultivation fell sharply, he recovered from the Nirvana Realm to the Transformation Pattern Realm there.

"Of course, compared with the late stage of the Transformation Realm at its peak, there is still a big gap.

"But no matter what, for the Yuan Shen Realm, the effect of Purple Spring Tan still cannot be ignored."

Li Yuan and Teng Qing listened with fascination, but Ruan Manqiu's next words made them a little disappointed.

Ruan Manqiu shook his head, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face: "Ziquan Tan is extremely hidden, and few people know about it.

"Even if it is a person from the Longshan Tan clan, only the core elders know about its existence.

"It's very difficult for outsiders to get in.

"Moreover, the Longshan Tan clan has always been ranked high among the 100 families in Wenhe, hovering in the thirties and forties, and we Jingshui Ruan have never had much to do with it.

"Although the old body has the heart to help, there is nothing that can be done."

Li Yuan was not discouraged by this, and said with a light smile: "Senior Ruan is serious.

"It's already a great favor for you to be able to inform Purple Spring Tan of its existence.

"As for how to enter the Longshan Tan clan, we will find another way.

"Qingwei City has arrived, and I will say goodbye to my predecessors."

As he spoke, he hugged his fist at Ruan Manqiu, and then walked towards the building with Teng Qing.

Ruan Manqiu looked at their departing backs, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

She knew that this young man named Li Yuan was definitely not a thing in the pool.

"Li Yuan, are you really not from the Li clan in Longyang?"

At the moment when Li Yuan was about to leave, Ruan Manqiu suddenly asked.

Li Yuan stopped, turned around and smiled faintly: "No." ”

After speaking, he disappeared on the deck of the Emperor Xuanyuan Boat with the vine green.

Ruan Manchu, on the other hand, looked in the direction they were leaving, lost in thought.

………

Qingwei City, like a jewel carved by the years, is quietly inlaid in the embrace of the majestic mountains.

What was once a city of mineral veins has lost its former glory.

In the heyday of Qingwei City, countless forces poured in like a tide.

Nearly forty percent of the hundreds of families in Wenhe have left their family marks in this city, and families have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Between these divisions, transactions were frequent and merchants gathered, making Qingwei City gradually develop into a prosperous trading center.

And the descendants of families from all over the world regard this place as a place of training.

However, as a gathering place for families, Qingwei City does not have many top powerhouses.

Therefore, that kind of luxurious and expensive teleportation square is naturally impossible to see here.

There is a unique reason why the Baobian camp was able to build a rather spectacular teleportation plaza.

Baobian Camp is located on the edge of the Wenmang Mountains, with dangerous terrain and abundant resources.

It was thanks to the unique geographical conditions that the camp was able to gradually grow and eventually build a teleportation square.

………

The night curtain is like a huge piece of black satin, gently sliding down, gently enveloping Qingwei City.

The lights are lit up like countless bright stars, dotting the darkness with colorful colors.

The streets are lined with shops of all kinds, attracting passers-by with a wide variety of goods.

Under the reflection of the light, the two figures are stretched out to be slender, like two black silhouettes, which are particularly eye-catching in the night.

Teng Qing's gaze swept lightly across the street, although the flow of people here was bustling, but compared to the Baobian camp, their cultivation was obviously much inferior.

She turned her head to look at Li Yuan beside her and asked, "Where are you going now?" ”

Li Yuan smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked a strange arc, raised his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "First go to the Li family to divide the family, the old village chief has lived there for a while."

"We've got to do something for him, and if we can, clean up the portal."

Coming here from the distant Qinggu Continent, if it weren't for the timely help of the weather-beaten old village chief, Li Yuan would have died in the unknown ordeal.

At this moment, he was standing on the streets of Qingwei City, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined on his handsome face, which was indescribable.

He was full of conjectures about the upcoming meeting with the family.

Teng Qing stood quietly aside, observing Li Yuan carefully.

She noticed that the corners of Li Yuan's mouth rose subtly, which seemed to be a provocation, as if it was a kind of hostility that could not be concealed.
