Zhang Fengmian followed Liu Mang, through the stone steps hidden by weeds, and walked up for a while, during which he never encountered anyone.

In the huge sect, there is silence and desolation, and some houses have collapsed for a long time because they have not been inhabited for a long time, but no one has been repairing them.

Only then did Zhang Fengmian understand how far this century-old sect had declined.

After that, I finally met a person, and the two of them just wanted to say hello, but the man was busy packing up his baggage and didn't pay attention to them at all.

Liu Mang shook his head helplessly and said, "The sect is like this now, the trees are falling and scattered!" ”

Later, he took Zhang Fengmian to the central hall of the Shinto Sect, where there was only one person, and that was the sect master of the Shinto Sect. Maybe it's because there is still a sect master here, compared to other places, the main hall seems to be a little more popular.

Seeing Liu Mang walking in with Zhang Fengmian across the threshold, the white-haired fat old man of the Inscription Realm The sect master of the white-haired old man in the Inscription Realm actually widened his eyes, looked at Liu Mang incredulously and said, "Little Mangmang, do you want to leave too?" Even you don't want to hold on with me to the end now? ”

Without waiting for Liu Mang to answer, the fat old man's sect master sighed, with a sad look on his face, and said abruptly: "Alas, it's okay." Let's go, let's go. The sect has declined to this point, what useful resources can I provide to you juniors, it is better to leave as soon as possible and seek your own chance. In fact, I have expected this day for a long time, and it is rare that your kid has been with me for two years, there are not many things left in the sect, I picked a few good things and put them in your residence, take it and leave, I will not delay your good future. ”

The more the old sect master spoke, the more sad he became, and in the end, he burst into tears and cried bitterly: "Master, master, the disciple is incompetent, and he failed to protect the foundation that the ancestors have worked so hard to build, it is really a crime that deserves death!" ”

The old sect master cried heartbreakingly, seeing that Zhang Fengmian was also a little sad, he was about to walk over to comfort the old sect master and make him want to open a little, but was stopped by Liu Mang.

Liu Mang folded his arms around his chest and looked at the old sect master calmly. Looking at it, the old sect master's cry was quieter.

"Why don't you comfort me, say some confidant words to me, say that you will definitely not leave or something, you must accompany me to fight to the end or something, you kid is really hard-hearted!"

The old sect master finally put away his sad face and pointed at Liu Mang indignantly.

"I don't know you yet?" Liu Mang rolled his eyes, "After such a long time, the acting skills are still so bad!" ”

After speaking, Liu Mang pulled Zhang Fengmian over and said to the old sect master: "This is Brother Zhang, the person who is in the maze forest. I brought it back for you. ”

"Really!" The old sect master looked at Zhang Fengmian's eyes shining, grabbed his shoulders, and asked excitedly, "Have you succeeded?" ”

Liu Mang shook his head, separated the two, and said, "Sect Master, Brother Zhang was injured in the operation and lost his memory, what you want to ask he definitely doesn't know now." Besides, the sect has decayed like this, and it's already good that people can come back, so you don't have so many requirements. ”

"Huh? How so? The old sect master looked at Zhang Fengmian in disappointment, but then frowned again, and said, "Strange, among the few people who went out on a mission, how come I don't have the impression of you as a child?" ”

Zhang Fengmian also stared at his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and felt a little weak. Although this old man looked like he had an amiable round face, his eyes had an indescribable penetrating power, as if he could see through his own soul at once.

And he felt that this old man's strength was definitely not low, if he found out his true identity, he didn't know if it would be dangerous.

"How many years have you been the shopkeeper, how can you remember all the disciples of the sect. Besides, some anonymous disciples won't report to you, don't you know that it's not normal? ”

The old man nodded, his expression gloomy, and said, "It makes sense, so be it, take this child back to rest, don't forget to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine to heal him, and I don't know if there are suitable medicinal materials there." With that, he turned around and waved his hand behind the two of them, signaling that they could leave.

After Liu Mang got permission, he took Zhang Fengmian to a disciple's residence in the back mountain, although it was also overgrown with weeds, but at least the house was intact, and there was no problem with living in it.

Liu Mang looked at this and said embarrassedly: "You have lost your memory, and you don't know where you live, so I had to bring you here first." It's a remote place, but it's quiet and good for recuperation, but if you don't want to stay here, you can go to my place......"

"No, it's good here, anyway, the house is fine, just clean up." As for the weeds outside, it doesn't bother much. Zhang Fengmian immediately refused. He and Liu Mang have only known each other for less than a day, so naturally they don't want to trouble him too much, and they may not stay here for a long time, Zhang Fengmian is most concerned about Li Nian's safety now, since he has escaped from the labyrinthine woods, the next thing is to find a way to return to the village.

So he asked Liu Mang: "Is there any other way to go to Xuanwu now?" ”

When Liu Mang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then smiled evilly, and said, "Okay, I already regret it!" I knew that if you hadn't lost your memory, you wouldn't have come back. ”

Liu Mang pursed his lips and seemed to be a little displeased, which made Zhang Fengmian, who had been helped by him three times, feel a little embarrassed.

Liu Mang shook his head and said, "But there is no chance now." Although we are only separated by a mountain from the northwest border of Xuanwu Kingdom, the extreme peak is too steep, and the aura turbulence is extremely dangerous, and it is almost impossible to cross below the golden pill. If you want to go again, you can only take a detour. However, a year later, there will be a Moon Bay sect ranking competition once every Jiazi, and the rookie disciples of each sect will participate in the competition to determine the sect ranking, and if they win the first place, they will have the opportunity to go to Xuanwu Kingdom to participate in a ceremony. ”

Liu Mang frowned, looking at Zhang Fengmian with some pity,

"But this competition also requires at least the five realms of body refining to participate, Brother Zhang is only cultivating in one realm now, and the spiritual materials that can assist in cultivation in the sect have all been snatched away, unless you can find all kinds of elixirs in the place where the murderers in the back mountain are around, otherwise it will be very difficult to cultivate to the realm of body refining within a year."

When Zhang Fengmian heard this, his brows tightened, the five realms of refining the body, he had cultivated to the five realms of refining the body within a year. Liu Mang has been here for more than two years and has not reached this height, can he do it?

"Of course, why not?" Chaos recognized Zhang Fengmian as the main one, so he naturally had the same thoughts as Zhang Fengmian, and at this time, seeing Zhang Fengmian doubting himself so much, he was a little anxious.

"Your own talent is not bad, not to mention that as long as you can endure hardships in the body refining realm, you can break through the realm quickly, master, are you still afraid of hardships? Besides, there is me and Lao Huang here, just refining the physical realm, what is there to worry about. Believe me, and believe in yourself, within a year, you will definitely refine the Five Realms! ”

Zhang Fengmian clenched his fists, his face resolute.

"That's right, it's just refining the five realms, what's so difficult. In terms of hardship, I don't lose to anyone, how can a mere refinement of the five realms stop me? ”

"Kaede Sleep! Zhang Fengmian! ”

Liu Mang shook his hand in front of Zhang Fengmian's eyes and said, "What do you think?" I want to be so engrossed. ”

Zhang Fengmian shook his head and said: "It's nothing, thank you Brother Liu all the way, I must participate in the competition in a year." So now you have to hurry up and cultivate, so I won't talk to Brother Liu more. ”

Looking at Zhang Fengmian, who had resolute eyes, Liu Mang was stunned, then laughed and said, "Be polite to me, don't forget that we are brothers." He patted Zhang Fengmian on the shoulder and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you, if you need anything in cultivation, you must tell me." Don't forget, your brother and I don't have any other advantages, but more money! ”

After saying goodbye, Liu Mang turned around and left. And after Zhang Fengmian entered the room and cleaned up a little, he began to meditate and cultivate. When he entered the realm of refining body before, it was Chaos who pushed him. What Zhang Fengmian has to do now is to first lay a solid foundation for the first realm of body refining.

Refining the physical realm, training the body, tempering one's own skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and blood with the aura of heaven and earth, like a forging tool, raises the strength of the body to a new level.

The refinement realm is the foundation for the beginning of cultivation, just like the foundation, the more solid the cultivation of the refinement realm, the more stable the ascension of the later realm. There are even more monks, who give up all the cultivation after the body refining realm, control their minds in one place, beat their bodies repeatedly, and constantly nourish them with spiritual energy, and finally they can resist the heavenly calamity with their physical bodies alone, form a life body pill, and achieve the height of a physical saint.

Therefore, the body refining realm is very important for monks and martial artists. Therefore, the choice of the way to temper the body is also the most important thing for practitioners.

In this regard, Zhang Fengmian picked up a big bargain, because he had the sword spirit chaos, and the chaos accumulated the majestic sword qi of the ninth world.

Sword cultivation sword qi is the transformation of the ordinary spiritual power in the world through bloodthirsty killing qi and incomparably fierce, firmly believing that with a sword in hand, I will be invincible in the sword will together.

Temper your physique with sword qi, as long as you control it properly, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

And the last master of Chaos was the reincarnation of the ninth generation, a peerless sword cultivator who had fought with a sword to ask the sky, and his sword qi was much higher than that ordinary sword cultivator. Therefore, it was not for nothing that Chaos made Zhang Fengmian relax in the Body Refining Realm.

At this moment, in the overgrown courtyard, several white sword qi with an unparalleled killing aura continued to pass over Zhang Fengmian's body. The aftermath that escaped cut the weeds all over the yard into ashes in less than a pillar of incense. The smell of grass was in the air at the moment.

"Are you still coming?" Chaos's tone was worried, and his words of encouragement to Zhang Fengmian were naturally sincere, but he didn't expect his master to recognize it as a master who could not even take his life.

Just now, Chaos proposed to try it with a wisp of sword qi first, but Zhang Fengmian directly asked him to add it to five realms in one go, and then it continued to increase, and now there are eight realms.

Chaos now recognizes Zhang Fengmian as the master, so these sword qi naturally belong to Zhang Fengmian. It's just that with Zhang Fengmian's current cultivation, it is still too early to completely control these sword qi.

But he still seemed to be crazy, and he didn't let Chaos interfere in the entire cultivation process, but used his sword qi to temper his body.

"Go on."

Zhang Fengmian gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty. When he added the sword qi to the seven realms, Chaos took back control, because he was afraid that Zhang Fengmian would accidentally train himself to death, but later Zhang Fengmian kept letting Chaos release the sword qi again, and Chaos couldn't resist him, so he had to do it.

"There will be nine more ones, can you hold on?"

Chaos wasn't human, otherwise he would have swallowed his saliva by now.

"Absolutely." Zhang Fengmian is a little weak to speak now, and there is no way to do it. All his strength was used for cultivation, and now the smile that he managed to squeeze out with great difficulty looked like he was crying.

"Okay!" Chaos gritted his teeth and released the last sword qi again.

As soon as this sword qi appeared, a fierce killing intent filled this space, and the nine sword qi condensed together, almost turning into a substantial long sword, constantly passing over Zhang Fengmian at the same time, stirring up this small world to vibrate frequently.

If it weren't for the chaos to unfold the enchantment in advance, otherwise once these sword qi leaked out, this mountain would probably suffer.

The nine sword qi danced together, and the coercion formed was even worse than before, and the violent air flow was wrapped in the surging sword qi, and it brushed Zhang Fengmian's body over and over again.

The clothes Zhang Fengmian was wearing before had long been shattered into pieces, and now his body was covered with scarlet scars, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, and he was terrified when he looked at Chaos.

After tempering like this for more than two hours, seeing that there was no intact place on his body, and all of them were occupied by scarlet wounds, Zhang Fengmian stopped.

He weakly held the wisps of sword qi in his hands, and after this tempering, his physique was not only improved, but his control of the sword qi was also improved to a higher level.

"Sure enough, the effect is still very significant!"

Zhang Fengmian's voice was as thin as a mosquito's groan, but the sparkle in his eyes was extremely bright.

Chaos looked at his master with some distress, patted the head of Lao Huang, who was also worried, and told him to quickly find some elixir and come back.

After Lao Huang left, Zhang Fengmian and Chaos glanced at each other, and the latter withdrew the enchantment.

Zhang Fengmian stood up with his body propped up, bowed to the sky in front of him, and said, "Junior Zhang Fengmian greets the sect master!" ”

In the sky, a yellow-robed figure with gray hair emerged, and his eyes looking at Zhang Fengmian were a little complicated, with appreciation, regret and pity.
