Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past five years, the strength of Baiyun City has been greatly developed. The news of the Great Brave Army's heavy damage to the Xianqu Army and the killing of its commander Fu Yu spread throughout the Shenmu Continent, and the human monks rejoiced, and many people ventured to Baiyun City to join the Great Brave Army one after another.

Although Beigu City was still in the hands of the Ten Thousand Immortal League, the Ten Thousand Immortal League had lost the Gongli Army and the army of tens of thousands of spirit beasts, and it was no longer able to completely block every valley and path that could lead to Baiyun City. Therefore, most of these human cultivators were able to arrive in Baiyun City smoothly, and Baiyun City finally had a channel to communicate with the outside world, and more materials and spiritual sources were brought into Baiyun City.

In the past five years, there have been more than 10,000 human monks who have come to Baiyun City, all of them are monks with a certain combat power, and there are also many masters, such as Luo Luo Mountain, who is in the consummation of the Immortal Pill Realm, and the black and white Twin Evil Law Brothers who are high-level in the Immortal Pill Realm. They are also old friends of Qingshi and others.

Seeing Luo Luo Mountain, Black and White Shuangsha, and Axian Anan, Qingshi and Chen Tianye were naturally very happy, but they didn't wait for Duan Wutian's return for five years, which also made them feel slightly regretful and worried.

In five years, Qingshi, Chen Tianye and Xiang An's cultivation has also made great progress.

Thanks to the special effects of Shenmai, in just five years, Qingshi's true qi cultivation has reached the consummation of the ninth stage of the Immortal Pill Realm, and it already has the conditions to impact the Divine Yuan Realm. He also comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire, and among the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, only the Heavenly Dao of Water was left uncomprehended. According to Qingshi's plan, after the Water Heavenly Dao is fully understood, he will choose the opportunity to attack the Shenyuan Realm.

Chen Tianye's true qi cultivation level has also reached the third stage of the elixir realm, although it is still worse than Xiang An, but in terms of combat power, the two Xiang An are not his opponents, because he not only has the true qi of the five elements, but also understands the way of the sword.

Xiang An is not Chen Tianye's opponent, it does not mean that he is weak, in fact, he has already understood the Heavenly Dao of Water. In terms of combat power, under the Shenyuan Realm, only a few people such as Qingshi, Luo Luoshan, and Chen Tianye could overpower him.

The five-year-old Shenmai matured as scheduled, and this time there was naturally no Gongli Army to harvest it again, and Baiyun City harvested a total of 30 million Shenmai, and the whole city was elated and jubilant.

Qingshi and Yan Ruyun had already agreed to exchange spirit stones for Shenmai, and on this day, as soon as the Shenmai season ended, Yan Ruyun asked people to notify Qingshi to come to the Baiyun City Council.

The council is the highest authority in Baiyun City, but its office is just an ordinary courtyard on the north side of the central square, and in terms of area, it is about the size of a bluestone mansion.

Qingshi walked to the door of the courtyard, and the caretaker naturally knew Qingshi, so he hurriedly took him to the reception hall, and then went to inform Yan Ruyun.

After a while, Yan Ruyun came to the living room with Lun Ke and Laigu.

After a few greetings, Yan Ruyun said: "Qingshi Shaoxia, I know that you, Xiaopang, and Chen Tianye need a lot of Shenmai cultivation, and we have gained a lot this season, I don't know how much you want?" Please feel free to speak. ”

"Good!" Qingshi said, "Thank you to the city lord and a few elders for making it happen. If I could, I would like to exchange 20 million high-grade spirit stones for 10 million Divine Mai. ”

"Ten million?"

Yan Ruyun looked at Lun Ke and Lai Gu, and both of them nodded affirmatively at her.

"Good!" Yan Ruyun smiled, "Then ten million." However, this time, we don't want spirit stones, this ten million pieces of divine wheat is a gift from our White Cloud City to you. ”

"How can this work......

Qingshi naturally refused, but Yan Ruyun and they were also resolute. After some concessions between the two sides, in the end, Qingshi still exchanged for Shenmai in a ratio of one to one, that is, 10 million high-grade spirit stones were exchanged for 10 million Shenmai.

After changing Shenmai, Yan Ruyun said again: "Qingshi Shaoxia, if you are okay now, you can go with me to see my great-grandfather." ”

"Really?" Qingshi was overjoyed and said, "Ling Great-Ancestor has woken up?" ”

"That's right," Yan Ruyun said with a smile, "Great-Ancestor woke up three days ago, and I gave him a detailed report on the events of the past thirty years, and he already knows about the generosity and deeds of Qingshi Shaoxia, as well as Xiaopang, Chen Tianye, Xiang An, and Duan Wutian, and he appreciates you very much." Regarding the fact that the bluestone young man wanted to meet him, he also agreed. ”

"Great," said Aoishi, "then let's go and see him now." ”

······

Yan Ruyun took Qingshi out of the council, and then walked north along the street, and soon, the two came to the northernmost part of Baiyun City.

The north side of Baiyun City does not have a city wall, but a large snow-capped mountain towering into the sky. The cliffs with thousands of walls are a hundred times steeper and stronger than any city wall in the world.

Yan Ruyun came to the bottom of the cliff, and then flew up, and Qingshi hurriedly followed.

After Yan Ruyun flew up to a hundred zhang, she could no longer fly upward with her own cultivation alone, so she gently stepped on a rock bulge on the cliff with her toes, and her body flew more than ten zhang high again, and then kicked on another convex rock, pulling ten zhang high again.

Bluestone found that these raised rocks were obviously stone wedges that were artificially driven into the rock wall, and there was not only one such stone wedge.

On the top of the cliff, starting from a height of about 100 zhang, every 10 zhang or so, there is a stone wedge like this, which is clearly a hanging ladder, like a long snake climbing up along the stone wall.

Yan Ruyun stepped on these stone wedges alternately with his feet, and his body was like a swallow piercing the clouds, rising layer by layer, soaring into the sky.

Qingshi's cultivation is not as good as Yan Ruyun, but he has the anti-heaven martial art of Wind and Thunder Wings, and he understands the way of wind, so he can fly much higher than Yan Ruyun. However, after flying up to 200 zhang, the air suddenly became extremely thin, and the bluestone had to leap upwards on the raised rock wedge like a swallow into the clouds.

Yan Ruyun and bluestone jumped one after the other, and flew up nearly a thousand zhang against the cliff before reaching the peak of this mountain, and here, there are thousands of zhang high from the highest peak of the mountains, but from here to the peaks of the mountains, it is no longer a cliff, but a snow-capped, rolling peaks and ridges.

Yan Ruyun performed the kung fu of stepping on the snow without a trace, and his body fluttered like a fairy, and continued to leap and climb northward along the slippery ridge, followed by bluestone. After moving forward for dozens of miles, and rising in height by nearly five hundred zhang, we finally came to another walled cliff, which was smaller in height and scale than the original cliff, and the slope was much smaller, and it was covered by ice and snow. At the bottom of it, there is a dark cave.

The cave was supposed to be completely buried by snow and ice, but now, you can see that the ice and snow that buried it have been pushed to both sides, revealing a hole with a diameter of more than two feet, and from the shape of the cave entrance, it is a natural cave that has been artificially modified.

Yan Ruyun walked into the cave with the bluestone, the ground in the cave and the walls of the cave were all surrounded by ice, if it weren't for their martial arts cultivation, I was afraid that they would not be able to walk smoothly at all. After walking like this for nearly a hundred zhang, a stone gate appeared in front of him. This stone gate is obviously blessed by the magic circle, and in Qingshi's opinion, its level is no less than five levels.

Yan Ruyun took out a palm-sized red gold array plate and embedded it in a groove on the stone door, and after the array disk rotated half a circle on the stone gate, the stone gate opened silently.

Behind the stone gate is a huge ice cave, this ice cave is roughly irregular in shape, about 30 zhang in diameter, and the rough four walls and flat ground are covered with thick 10,000-year-old ice.

The light in the entire cave is bright and soft, and the light source is more than a dozen illuminated spiritual weapons buried in the four walls of ice. On the top of the cave that is 50 zhang high, a large naturally formed ice pick hangs, as if it is an arrow that will be fired at any time, and it is like a beautiful crystal chandelier.

In the ice cave, there is a magic circle composed of three concentric rings in the center, the diameter of the magic circle in the center is about one zhang, and on the ground covered with dark golden formations in the ring, there is a long-bearded old man with a clumsy appearance and a thin body sitting cross-legged. He is obviously the emperor of the strongest empire in the original Shenmu Continent - Yan Dunhuang.

Yan Ruyun and Qingshi approached the old man, and the old man slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes looking at Yan Ruyun and Qingshi were full of love.

"Ancestor!" Yan Ruyun said, "This is the Qingshi Young Hero!" ”

"Qingshi meets the Yan senior!" Qingshi bowed deeply, and his tone was full of respect.

"The bluestone young man is really a peerless genius!" Yan Dunhuang's voice was low and magnetic, "I look at the age of the young man, the cultivation time should be less than a hundred years!" Now it is already the top of the elixir realm, and it is almost 'cultivating the Dao Pill and planting the Dao tree'. The old man asked himself that he was also a genius in the past, and he had seen people who were even more talented than the old man, but the old man was such a genius as Qingshi Shaoxia, and it was the first time he saw it, which was really fortunate! ”

"The seniors have won the award," Qingshi said, "The seniors are famous, like thunder, and the younger generations can see the demeanor of the seniors with their own eyes, which is the luck of Sansheng." ”

"Huh!" Yan Dunhuang smiled and said, "Let's praise each other as soon as we meet, it's really funny, let's say something real!" The old man first thanked the young man of Qingshi for his great contribution to Baiyun City, and asked you to convey my thanks to your brothers. The young man came to see me, I don't know what questions the old man needs to answer? Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to ask, as long as I know, I must know everything, and I must say everything. Have a seat! ”

Qingshi and Yan Ruyun sat on the two large futons on the ground.

"Ancestor!" Yan Ruyun said, "I said that I would like to ask Qingshi Shaoxia to diagnose the injury for the ancestor first, and you have to answer questions for the young man, so you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”

"Qingshi Shaoxia," Yan Ruyun turned to Qingshi again, "Presumably you're not in a hurry, right?" If you can, please take a look at Lao Zu's injury first! ”

"It's nature," said Aoishi, "and if the old-timers can trust me, then please let me find out." ”

"Alas!" Yan Dunhuang sighed and said, "I know my injury, and I have already been powerless. If it weren't for the fact that Yun'er, Laigu, and Lunke had a trace of spiritual sustenance, if it weren't for my own constant concern for Baiyun City, I would have died on the battlefield a long time ago, why should I be such a living dead and survive? I don't think there's any need to bother Shaoxia. ”

"Ancestor!" Yan Ruyun hurriedly said, "Qingshi Shaoxia's Dan Dao medical skills are really amazing, just let him take a look, didn't we say it?" ”

"Senior," Qingshi said, "The junior has all the five elements, so you can let me try it." ”

"The Five Elements are full of true qi!" Yan Dunhuang nodded and said, "No wonder you are such a genius." In this case, then ask Shaoxia to diagnose and treat the old man, if my expectations are not bad, my injury will not be cured, but you may be able to solve my poison. ”

After Yan Dunhuang finished speaking, he beckoned to Qingshi to go over.

Qingshi came to Yan Dunhuang's side and stretched out his palm to press on his vest to probe his injuries. It took a long time before he withdrew his palm and slowly returned to his seat.

"How's it going?" Yan Ruyun looked at Qingshi and asked eagerly.

"The old-timer is right," Qingshi shook his head slightly and said, "Qingshi is incompetent, he can only detoxify, and he is powerless to heal." ”

"What?" Yan Ruyun hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that you saved a senior who had been dormant for thousands of years a few years ago?" The ancestor has only been dormant for a few hundred years, so why can't he be saved? ”

"This ......," said Aoishi, "it's different. That senior's cultivation is higher, and his dormant array effect is better, so ......"

"Yan'er!" Yan Dunhuang said with a smile, "The young man of Qingshi can remove poison for me, this is already an unexpected joy." After the poison is removed, I don't need to lie here like this anymore. Although my force cannot be restored, I can live like a normal human for a few more decades. Are you not satisfied? ”

"Really?" Yan Ruyun said in surprise, "But, if you ...... Alas!"

Yan Ruyun is both happy and a little regretful, but, in general, it is indeed an unexpected joy to have such a result.
