On the outskirts of Huiyue City, inside the dilapidated City God Temple.

A group of emaciated, ragged children were gathering together, and Chen Yuan was lying in the middle of them, his face flickering white and dark, as if he was going to die at any moment.

"Brother Chao, do you think he will die. The fifth sister said that he was the savior of the fifth sister, let us take good care of him, but we haven't eaten for two days, what can we take care of him? ”

A six-year-old girl with tousled hair and a dirty face looked up at a teenage boy beside her, who was holding a broken bowl with a black liquid in it.

"Xiao Ou, don't talk nonsense, the fifth sister can say, if she doesn't take care of him, she will break all of our legs, and she will never take care of us again, making us real beggars."

The eldest boy was also puzzled, the person in front of him had been in a coma for three days, and they had been fed medicine for three days, but they never woke up, and their twisted and painful faces seemed to be more painful, and there was no sign of improvement.

"If you want me to say, let's not save him, take those medicines and sell them, and we can exchange them for some food, and save such a dying man, but in the end he didn't live, and we were starved to death. I don't know what the fifth sister thinks, in order to save him, she went to the depths of the treacherous mountain range alone, doesn't she know that there are fierce beasts in the mountain range, and there are people from the great prince? ”

At this moment it was a boy of eleven or twelve, slightly chubby, and his clothes were not as tattered as the other children, but rather very bright, and obviously out of place with the beggar children here.

"Xu Feng, don't talk nonsense. Since the fifth sister has explained, we will feed the medicine, you must not fight the idea of those medicinal materials. The fifth sister knows, she will definitely not spare you, have you forgotten what happened a month ago. ”

The big boy mentioned what happened a month ago, the young man named Xu Feng, his face changed slightly, and he said, "You are all great good people, so it's better that I am a big evil person." I'm not going to spend time here with you, I haven't eaten for two days, and I'm going outside to find something to eat. ”

The young man shook his face and walked out of the City God Temple regardless of it, although he was a beggar in the City God Temple at this time, he was not a real beggar, a year ago, he was called Xu Dagongzi by others.

"I, Mr. Xu, will no longer be with you from today onwards. I want to be the god who goes to heaven and earth. ”

Xu Feng's figure disappeared into the streets of Huiyue City, three days ago, he met an immortal master who was willing to accept him as an apprentice, as long as he became an immortal again, he was still the respectful Xu Dagongzi.

Besides, on the side of the City God Temple, the eldest boy Liu Chao had already fed the decoction in the bowl to Chen Yuan, although I don't know if the decoction has any effect, but this is arranged by the fifth sister, they just have to do it, whether they can save people or not, they can't care.

After feeding the decoction, the eldest boy Liu Chao beckoned more than a dozen children in the temple and began the necessary morning exercise every day.

The fifth sister said that as long as the requirements are met, let them practice "divine arts", and with divine arts, they can not starve.

"Brother Chao, I don't want to exercise in the morning, I'm too tired, I'd better take care of the dying man."

The girl, named Xiao Ou, moved her arms only twice. She didn't want to exercise in the morning anymore, she was so hungry that after Jin Wu left, she barely ate a full meal. originally thought that when Jin Wu came back, there would be something to eat, but he didn't expect that after Jin Wu brought back a dying person, he turned around and went to the depths of the treacherous mountain.

"Xiao Ou doesn't want to practice, just go and rest, when the fifth sister comes back, she will definitely be able to bring back the beasts in the mountains, and when the time comes, Brother Chao will roast rabbit legs for you to eat."

The eldest boy Liu Chao is also helpless, as the oldest in the City God Temple except for Jin Wu, he is not able to take care of the dozen beggars and children at present.

This made him feel incompetent, and if he was also a monk like the fifth sister, he would definitely not let everyone starve.

Chen Yuan naturally didn't know that he was being taken care of by more than a dozen beggars, and now he was in great pain, and the backlash of the Spirit Devouring Sword almost destroyed his consciousness, leaving him always on the verge of madness.

At this time, in his body, there was a transparent light that was impacting his spiritual sea of consciousness, it was like a sword, an incomparably sharp sword, constantly impacting, causing many cracks to appear around the sea of consciousness.

The Sea of Knowledge, known as the Sea of Spirits by the monks, is located at the head and stores the spiritual power of people, which can also be called soul power.

This thing was originally invisible, because it became a monk, it began to be used, it is the foundation of manipulating magic weapons, the stronger the spiritual power of the monk, the higher the level of manipulating magic weapons.

Generally, a cultivator in the Qi refining period can control at most one magic weapon, and if the qi refining is below the fifth layer, even if he can control a high-grade magic weapon, the consumption of spiritual power is huge.

The reason why Chen Yuan was able to control a medium-grade and a high-grade at the same time at the third or fourth level of qi refining was because his spiritual power was naturally strong.

At this time, if the sea of consciousness was shattered, even if Chen Yuan could not die immediately, it would make him go crazy and become a killing machine without consciousness.

The Spirit Devouring Sword devoured the soul in the monk's divine consciousness, that is, the spiritual power, once this spiritual power was too strong, it could still break through Chen Yuan's sea of consciousness and make him completely insane.

The power of that spiritual sword became greater and greater, which made Chen Yuan's face turn blood-red, as if he was about to completely burst his head and die.

"Brother Chao, come and see if he is really going to die. Xiao Ou was a little scared. ”

The little girl ran to the big boy a little timidly, pointing at Chen Yuan, looking a little panicked.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoou. We watched him from the outside, and if he was really dead, we would bury him in the back of the City God Temple. ”

The big boy put his arm around the little girl and looked at Chen Yuan from a distance along with the other children.

At this moment, the Spirit Devouring Sword, which had been placed beside Chen Yuan, suddenly flew away without an owner, turning into a ray of light, rushing from Chen Yuan's forehead into his brain.

"This ......"

The children were shocked and couldn't believe what they saw, and the sword disappeared into the human mind, and the image was terrible.

In fact, children don't know that this is the process of recognizing the owner of the Dharma weapon, and only high-level Dharma weapons will recognize the master.

Ordinary magic weapons, even if they are of the highest grade, will not recognize the master, and the magic weapons that can recognize the master have their own spirituality, and their performance is almost close to the magic weapon.

And the magic weapon can only be owned and used by monks above the foundation building period.

It is true that the Soul Devouring Sword is a magic weapon, but its performance has long been infinitely close to that of a magic weapon, so it will take the initiative to recognize the master. And the reason why it recognized Chen Yuan was mainly because Chen Yuan practiced the art of devouring souls.

Even if the Spirit Devouring Sword didn't recognize the master today, sooner or later, it would still recognize Chen Yuan as the master.

Of course, this is also a little careful thinking of the original owner of the Soul Devouring Sword, the Soul Devouring Demon Venerable. When he created his own Soul Devouring Secret Technique, he made a plan to inherit the Secret Art.

Only those who have obtained the Soul Devouring Sword and practiced the Soul Devouring Secret Art at the same time can be truly recognized by the Soul Devouring Sword.

Once the Spirit Devouring Sword successfully recognizes its master, the anti-devouring effect will disappear, and the devouring of the soul in the future will only make one's spiritual power stronger.

Chen Yuan naturally didn't know this, but now he only felt more pain in his head, a feeling of pain and tearing.

Suddenly, the brain was full of light, and at the same time as the barrier of sea awareness was shattered, the feeling of pain disappeared in an instant, and his strength also skyrocketed in an instant.

He could clearly sense that there were twelve children not far away who were staring at him intently, and although their eyes were closed, the faces of the twelve children were clearly visible.

The older boy has a thin face, a prominent facial skeleton, and although he is hungry, his eyes are bright.

On the right sideburn of the older boy, there is a black mole the size of a thumb with three hairs growing on it.

The little girl's face was a little round and fat, but at the same time she looked sallow because of hunger.

The other children also have their own characteristics, some are thin but powerful, and some are scattered, frightened and frightened.

Chen Yuan even sensed a small mouse under a tree thirty zhang away, which was desperately digging a burrow, planning to bury a piece of sweet potato that he had gotten out of nowhere.

What made Chen Yuan feel the most strange was that outside of this dilapidated City God Temple, since there were three Qi Refining Stage cultivators, they were well hidden, and their eyes were always watching every move of the City God Temple.

Judging from the clothing, the three monks are not loose cultivators, but from the same sect, the Yin Sha Sect.

He sensed a familiar aura, which was Yin Er and Yin Six, who he met in Zhang's Mansion that day. A fireball had already condensed between Yin Liu's fingers.

"Not good! He's going to do it to these children! ”

Chen Yuan, who clearly perceived, jumped up from the ground, and came to the hidden position of Yin Six with a sharp rush, and at the same time formed a palm with one hand, slapping Yin Six out heavily.

"How did you find me, your strength is obviously only at the fourth level of qi refining, and your spiritual power shouldn't be so strong."

vomited blood in a big mouth, and after being slapped by Chen Yuan, Yin Liu almost lost half of his life.

Chen Yuan naturally ignored Yin Liu's question, and suddenly waved in both directions in his hands, and the golden sword talisman and the ice sword talisman roared out, directly exposing Yin Er and another monk from the hidden place.

Now that they had been discovered, the three of them naturally did not hesitate anymore and attacked Chen Yuan at the same time.

"Hmph, is your Yin Demon Sect the kind of sect that only hurts people secretly? In that case, you don't deserve to live anymore. ”

Although Chen Yuan didn't know why the Yin Sect was monitoring the City God Temple, he thought that there would be no other reason except for the Yin Ming who died in the Jinhan Cave Mansion for the sake of the small secret realm.

The strength of his spiritual power not only greatly increased Chen Yuan's perception, but also made his control of the magic weapon talisman more handy.

The long swords that the two talismans turned into slashed down at the same time at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, causing the two monks such as Yin Er to parry with all their might, but there was no chance to backhand.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, Chen Yuan didn't want to waste time, and when the two monks were terrified of the power of the talisman, the silver flying knife also appeared in front of them like a ghost.
