Somewhere in a secluded loft.

A figure dressed in blue sat in a quiet room, the room was empty, there was nothing left, only an incense burner was placed in the center of the room, lit wisps of agarwood, white smoke swirled, not floating, but precipitating downward.

"Qin Mengjun ......"

The blue-clothed figure looked at the letter in his hand and muttered.

The figure was wearing a blue robe, embroidered with a pale gold dragon pattern.

He is Ji Xuanming, the king of Yan, one of the eight kings of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and the younger brother of Ji Xuanchu, the king of Jin.

The bloodline of the Daxuan royal family has always been very prosperous, and there are hundreds of princes in this generation, but among them, there are only eight who have been crowned kings so far, and only these eight are qualified to inherit the unification in the future and ascend to the throne.

The minimum qualification for the prince to be crowned a king also needs to enter the realm of marrow washing and cultivate into a marrow cleansing grandmaster, after all, the grandmaster is not a realm that anyone can easily set foot in, even if he is the prince of Daxuan, he has concentrated the resources of the world, and he is also born with extraordinary qualifications in the bloodline, and there are still only more than ten cultivators among the hundreds of princes, and only eight people have been crowned kings.

"Hey, Brother Jin Wang, you thought that people were abolished, but in the end, people broke and stood up, and entered the realm of blood exchange, and now if you want to win over that one, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

Ji Xuanming pondered for a while, and suddenly heyed, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

He knew that his brother Jin Wang had laid out a lot in Hanbei Road, but Hanbei Road was remote after all, and there were wolf ambitions like Yuan Hong, the situation was chaotic, and it seemed that there were fights between the various sects, but in fact, they were also inextricably linked with the imperial court, after all, when they reached the pinnacle of a state, looking at the level of the world, it was impossible to have nothing to do with the imperial court.

As the prince of the Great Xuan Imperial Court and one of the eight kings, King Yan knows far more secrets than ordinary people, such as the Heavenly Corpse Gate in Bingzhou, why did it attract the Great Xuan Imperial Court to attack it back then?

It didn't matter what kind of corpse refining evil way they had, they were actually a private soldier who had been secretly cultivated in the first place.

But that was hundreds of years ago.

Now that this Heavenly Corpse Gate has emerged again, he doesn't know who is manipulating behind the scenes, and he is not sure whether it is King Qi or King Qing, but he can be sure that it is not the King of Jin, because King Jin is the oldest among the eight kings, and has the deepest foundation, and he is all doing righteous and yang schemes, and there is no need to have anything to do with the Heavenly Corpse Gate, after all, today's Heavenly Corpse Gate is nothing compared to back then.

As for others such as the Heavenly Demon Gate, it is even more unclear, his layout in Hanbei Dao is very shallow, and only one Linjiang Pavilion is a cooperative relationship with him, and he has never deliberately interfered in the situation in Hanbei from beginning to end.

It's still too remote in the end.

Even if it is in the future, he will not be able to get to that position and seek a way back for himself, and he will not choose to go to Hanbei.

"In fact, living too long may not be a good thing, life and death are destiny, so why go against the number of days."

Ji Xuanming suddenly sighed again, slowly closed his eyes, and crushed the letter between his fingers into powder.

The root cause of the chaos in the world is the struggle between their princes for that position, which tore apart the originally monolithic imperial power, so that they gradually lost their absolute control over all states and provinces in the world.

But the root cause of their prince's infighting was his father, who was in his twilight years early, but he was unwilling to accept the number of days, and even did not hesitate to use some evil methods to prolong his life, causing himself to be half-crazy and half-awake for decades, before finally bringing to this situation.

In fact.

He didn't think about that seat so strongly at first.

But it is precisely because of this mixed imperial court situation that they are forced to slowly drift away from each other, and gradually intensify the contradictions, to the point where no one can retreat, and no one dares to retreat.

If you take a step back, you may die a miserable death, and you may die for unknown reasons.

He also hopes that this kind of chaos can end sooner, but until the half-crazy and half-awake father emperor returns to heaven completely, I am afraid that there will be no result, and even if it does come to that day, there may not be a result, and the subsequent disputes may be more tragic, bloodier, and more uncontrollable.

……

The slight waves set off by the Great Xuan Imperial Court did not have any impact on the side of the Seven Xuanzong.

Or rather.

Hanbei is too remote and too remote, too far away, maybe those marrow cleansing grandmasters will still pay attention to the pattern of the Great Xuan Imperial Court in Zhongzhou, but even many Dharma protectors in the Six Intestines Realm are not paying attention to it, and it will not affect them.

After all, the eleven states of Hanbei Province are already very large, and for the vast majority of martial artists in the Five Viscera Realm, they may only be active in two or three states in their lives, and their footsteps cannot cover the entire Hanbei, let alone the distance of Zhongzhou.

But.

Qin Mengjun stepped into the blood exchange, and it still brought a lot of changes in the Seven Xuanzong.

The first of them was Qin Mengjun, who was in the Blood Exchange Realm, and became the Supreme Elder of the Seven Xuanzong, above the head of the sect, the elders, and the peak masters, and his status jumped to the same level as Yin Heng.

The second is that after Qin Mengjun became the new Taishang, the position of the peak master of Lingxuan Peak was taken over by Chen Mu, who was originally the deputy peak master of Lingxuan Peak, and this point was not refuted in any way, on the one hand, Chen Mu was a true disciple of Qin Mengjun, and his strength was ranked third on the list, and he was qualified in terms of status, identity, and strength.

On the other hand, although the death of the Black Bone Marquis was tacitly agreed by everyone to Qin Mengjun's action, the death of the Sudden Bone Marquis still spread quickly, and it also caused a wave, and many people did not expect that Chen Mu had the ability to kill such a powerful alien master as the Sudden Bone Marquis.

No matter what the process is, even if it occupies any geographical advantage and what means such a plot is used, but being able to kill such a grandmaster is a proof of strength, even if Chen Mu will be ranked first in the next issue of the Billboard, no one will be surprised.

After all.

Hua Yunsheng, a free-spirited person, and Xia Yu'e, a yin and yang demon girl, have never killed a grandmaster of the level of Tuguhou, and even they have never had a record of killing a grandmaster, at most they have been repelled or defeated head-on.

The main altar of the Heavenly Demon Gate was suddenly destroyed by the thunderous blow of the Seven Xuanzong, coupled with the birth of Qin Mengjun, the new Taishang, the elite of the alien race entrenched in the Han County decisively withdrew from the Han County and gave up fighting head-on with the Seven Xuanzong, and the Heavenly Corpse Gate was also decisive, not confronting the Seven Xuanzong head-on, or fleeing or retreating, completely abandoning the Han County.

That's it.

There are two of the six counties in Bingzhou, which can be regarded as completely falling into the hands of the Seven Xuanzong and being controlled by the Seven Xuanzong.

……

Lingxuan Peak.

Back Cliff.

Under the umbrella-like ancient tree, a rock fell there, this was originally the place where Qin Mengjun used to connect the Qi machine to the Qiankun Lock Dragon Array every day, and his heart and soul blended with heaven and earth to heal his injuries, but now it has become the residence of Chen Mu, the new Lord of Lingxuan Peak.

But on the other side of the rock, there was a small and elegant bamboo house, the bamboo house was newly built, and it was specially arranged by Chen Mu, he was not used to sitting on the formation node all day long like Qin Mengjun.

Now.

Inside that ingenious bamboo house.

There was no bed in the room, it was very empty, only a futon fell in the center, and Chen Mu was sitting quietly on the futon.

In fact, whether it was the Seven Xuanzong occupying the Frost County and the Cold County, or whether he jumped from the deputy peak master of Lingxuan Peak to inherit Qin Mengjun's position and become the new peak master of Lingxuan Peak, there was not much change for him, and he didn't care.

The only thing he cares about is the harvest from this Hanjun campaign, which can be described as extremely rich.

The first is to quench the body.

In the battle of the Silent Valley, Chen Mu alone collected a number of quenching spiritual objects, in addition to the Xuangui Painstaking Blood, etc., which were all urgently needed for him, which could enhance his cultivation of the Qiankun Martial Body.

The comprehension of artistic conception is of course important, and the cultivation of martial arts cannot be left behind.

"Let's try the effect of this quenching spiritual object."

Chen Mu's mind moved, and he quickly took out a quenching spirit object from his body, which was a blue substance that looked like water, but its texture was more like lead and mercury, heavy and thick.

Just holding it in his hand, he could feel the rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained in it, which belonged to the spiritual things of the Kanshui vein, and was obviously much more violent than the refining and warm cultivation classes he had used.

For ordinary people, spiritual objects of this level are even no different from poisons.

If a martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm dares to swallow it, it is almost inevitable that he will explode and die, even if it is the internal organs realm, it is also difficult to suppress and digest, and it is very likely to cause damage to the internal organs, not only can not benefit from it, but also be damaged.

But for the grandmaster who has stepped into the marrow and practiced the martial body, it belongs to the appropriate spiritual object that can temper the body, and then the violent Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, with the martial body, it can also be carried.

Most of the quenching spiritual creatures do not need to be combined with any auxiliary medicinal materials.

After Chen Mu observed this mass of Xuanshui Yuan Essence in his hand for a moment, he gently raised his hand, threw it up, and immediately raised his head and swallowed it into his abdomen.

When swallowed, it was as if it had swallowed an extremely cold mass of water, as if it was colder than ice, but after falling into the abdomen and being stimulated by the six intestines, it quickly became scorching, and turned into a majestic force of heaven and earth, surging to the limbs and hundreds of remains, and more to the depths of the flesh, pouring into the bone marrow.

Chen Mu called out the system panel to look.

【Martial Arts: Qiankun (Chucheng)】

[Experience: 867 points]

Since his Qiankun martial arts body was cultivated, his martial arts body has also been in natural tempering, and his experience has been accumulating, and this Xuanshui Yuan Jing has brought him more than five hundred experience points.

To improve the Qiankun martial arts body from the beginning to the small one, it needs to consume three thousand experience points, and now in his hands, not counting the blood and heart blood of the Xuan Turtle Demon and the hard work, there are still as many as five parts of the quenching body spirit object, but it is almost enough.

Swish.

Seeing this, Chen Mu didn't hesitate much, and quickly took out the rest of the quenching spirit objects one after another.

Among them were red-colored, nadan-like pills, gray-brown clods of earth, which did not look like edible objects, and even a metallic glow that shone brightly in the sunlight.

However, Chen Mu didn't care, and swallowed it one by one, including the spiritual object that looked like a silver ingot, its texture was indeed like copper and iron, but it was only three or two times in his mouth, and he chewed it up and swallowed it.

After the five internal organs are tempered to the extreme, you can do it for a long time without drinking or eating, and you can also swallow steel raw without hindrance.

Of course.

The piece just now was not a silver ingot, but a kind of spiritual creature of the genus Gengjin.

A variety of spiritual objects were swallowed by Chen Mu one after another, and the majestic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi suddenly collided in Chen Mu's body, washing and washing his Qiankun martial body, and at the same time, the data on the system panel was also changing rapidly.

[Martial Arts: Qiankun (Chucheng +)]

[Experience: 3178 points]

Seeing that the experience value exceeded 3,000 points, the martial arts body was initially formed with a '+' mark, and Chen Mu did not hesitate too much, and immediately moved his mind and chose to temper and improve.

Airplanes!!!

With a flash of light on the system panel, in an instant, the surging Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the body roared and became orderly, no longer scattering and washing the limbs and hundreds of remains, but concentrated and poured into the jade bones, pouring into the bone marrow.

After refining and washing the marrow, it was fed back through the bone marrow, turning into a nourishing force, pouring into the acupoints around his body, making his whole body feel a burst of warmth, indescribable usefulness, and he could intuitively realize that his martial body was slowly increasing, the power of heaven and earth was slowly improving, and the true strength of Yuan Gang that could be contained was also changing.

Normally, with the strength of his Qiankun martial arts, if he wanted to improve from the beginning to the small one, it would take almost two full years of retreat and penance, but relying on these few quenching spiritual objects, coupled with the tempering of the maximum efficiency of the system panel, it was only less than half an hour after that, and he felt that his Qiankun martial body had greatly improved!

Huo Ran opened his eyes.

Chen Mu looked at his body.

You can see that the surface of the skin is glowing with a bronze color, the internal muscles are like iron, the muscles around the body are like dragons, the jade bones are shining in the depths, and the internal organs are like jewel-like glass crystals...... All kinds of visions were manifested around him.

And with the passage of time, this vision began to slowly calm down, starting from the internal organs and six internal organs to gradually fade, until the jade bones, the muscles and muscles around the body, and even the bronzed skin returned to normal, and it looked like an ordinary person again.

If you walk outside, you may even be recognized as an ordinary person who does not know martial arts.

But this is after the grandmaster has practiced martial arts, there is no leakage of the body, the edge is not obvious, and he has reached the realm of returning to the basics, which is naturally very different from ordinary people and even those martial artists who are easy to forge their muscles and bones.

【Martial Arts: Qiankun (Xiaocheng)】

[Experience: 178 points]

But seeing that on the system panel, the data has also changed completely, and the Qiankun martial arts body has changed from a beginner to a small one.

"It's almost 20% ......"

Chen Mu clenched his fists, felt the increase in his strength, and nodded slightly.

Compared with when the martial arts body was first formed, now that he has reached the state of Xiaocheng, the amount of Yuan Gang true strength that he can mobilize has increased by about two percent, and this improvement is almost within the range he expected.

It doesn't sound like much, but in fact it is extremely terrifying, and it is enough to shock many grandmasters, and even the existence of the Blood Exchange Realm will be stunned when they hear it.

To know.

The Yuangang True Strength that Chen Mu's own Qiankun Martial Body can mobilize is above one hundred and twenty parts, and on this basis, it is improved by two percent, which is almost twenty parts, and often many grandmasters have initially practiced martial arts, and they only have such strength!

It can be said that Chen Mu's ascension of this small step is almost a direct superposition of the power contained in the martial body of an ordinary grandmaster, this kind of improvement is not terrifying, for ordinary grandmasters, even if he cultivates all the way from the beginning to the consummation, it is almost to the extent of about 'twenty parts', but Chen Mu is a small step that can compare to the improvement of others' entire realm.

That's the gap that comes with the foundation!

From skin grinding to meat training, until the easy tendons and bones, internal organs, and six internal organs, after arriving at the realm of the Sect Master of Pulp Washing, all the foundations of extreme refining play a greater role here, just like building blocks, the wider and grander the building blocks stacked at the bottom, and the more they can be stacked at each height above.

With the strength of his current martial body, even the Xuan Turtle, who had just been born from the Silent Valley, had not yet been further weakened and injured by the alien army formation, and he had a certain degree of certainty that he would be able to suppress it head-on!

"It's a little closer to the strength level of the Blood Exchange Realm."

Chen Mu muttered to himself in his heart.

After the vast majority of martial artists reach the realm of grandmasters, the improvement efficiency often becomes very slow, and it takes more than ten or even decades to complete the refining of the martial body, and the strength improvement of the whole process is very smooth, and there will be almost no large span.

But Chen Mu here, the effect of every small step improvement will be quite obvious.

If he had barely reached the point of 'peerless grandmaster' before, and he could basically rank in the top ten or so on the genealogy of the Great Xuan Grandmaster, then after the promotion of this small step, he would almost be the real 'first grandmaster'!

If you look at the thousand-year-old history of Daxuan, maybe the nine 'Qiankun Grandmasters' in the past have the ability to fight with him now, but as for the other peerless grandmasters, if they want to defeat him now, it is extremely difficult to occupy the right time and place.

"It's time to go and understand the artistic conception."

Chen Mu quickly stood up.

The transformation of Qiankun's martial arts body from the beginning to the small one is almost the limit that he can bear in a short period of time, even if there are more quenching materials, it is not suitable to continue to practice, not to mention that now the ones in his hands are basically exhausted, only some Xuan Turtle Demon Blood and Xuan Turtle Heart Blood are left, and these two types are different from quenching spiritual objects, it is more troublesome to use, and a specific prescription is required.

He currently doesn't have a prescription for refining his martial body with Xuangui's heart blood as the main medicine, but Qin Mengjun already knows about it and tells him that he will find one or two for him, so that he can stay in the sect for a period of time to comprehend the artistic conception.

Having Qin Mengjun, the master, personally find a suitable body quenching prescription for him, for Chen Mu, it made him feel a lot more worried, and he sighed in his heart, he didn't know how to repay Qin Mengjun's mentorship in the future, after all, Qin Mengjun has now entered the realm of blood exchange, and has also climbed to the last step of the martial arts, and there are very few things that need him to do.

But Chen Mu didn't think about it for too long.

In this world, the blood exchange realm is not transcendent and comfortable, there will always be things that Qin Mengjun will do in the future, and he will always climb to the apex of the martial arts in the future, enter the realm of blood exchange, and become the world's top Gaidai martial saint, and there will always be an opportunity to decompose difficult things for Qin Mengjun.

Gently pushing open the door of the bamboo house, Chen Mu walked out of the bamboo house, walked towards the mountain rock not far from the back cliff, and soon came to the edge of the mountain stone, and put his hand on the mountain stone.

After Qin Mengjun ascended to the throne and succeeded him as the peak master of Lingxuan Peak, this Qiankun node in the back cliff of Lingxuan Peak was completely owned by him, and the residual aura of Qin Mengjun inside it was also taken away by Qin Mengjun, and now it was replaced by his qi engine.

The gas engine is connected.

Suddenly it was a familiar scene, and the whole person seemed to be completely connected to the Qixuan Mountain Range, turning into a part of this mountain range, standing between heaven and earth, feeling the changes of heaven and earth.

Now that the situation in Bingzhou has come to an end for the time being, the Seven Xuanzong has not yet made up his mind to participate in the battle in the Bingzhou Prefecture, so he has plenty of time to practice for the time being.

Chen Mu kept the qi machine connected to the Qiankun Lock Dragon Array, and at the same time, his mind moved, summoning the system panel.

【Martial Arts: Qiankun Artistic Conception (Step 2)】

[Experience: 3923 points]

[Number of deductions: 0 times]

In the process of participating in the war in Hanjun, he gained very little artistic conception and understanding, but now he is only one last deduction away from the limit of the second step of artistic conception, and there is the Qi of the Qiankun Locking Dragon Array, and the efficiency of comprehension is extremely fast.

"At most, after more than a month's effort, the artistic conception of Qiankun can be practiced to the limit of the second step and touch the field."

Chen Mu muttered in his heart.

Since he practiced the artistic conception of Qiankun, it can be regarded as several years have passed, and it is not in vain that he has practiced hard all the way, comprehended the world and the world, and now he is finally not far from the realm of Qiankun, and I hope that this trip can be practiced steadily all the way to the realm of the realm.

……

Time flies.

A month and a half passed.

In the past month and a half, the situation in Bingzhou was still chaotic, only the two counties of Frost and Cold gradually returned to order under the control of the Seven Xuanzong, and the other counties were still ravaged by the alien race, the Heavenly Demon Gate, and the Heavenly Corpse Gate.

Although the main altar of the Heavenly Demon Gate was destroyed, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was still there, and it is said that he was defeated and fled in the battle with Yin Heng, and it was basically difficult to kill at that level, plus those Venerables who died, including the Moyu Demon Venerable, were only a part of the forces of the Heavenly Demon Gate, and it was only a heavy blow to the Heavenly Demon Gate, and it was far from being a disaster to destroy the Gate.

During this period of time, the Seven Xuanzong was also retaliated against by the Heavenly Demon Sect and the alien race many times, and there were many local battles and conflicts, and the news was also transmitted to Chen Mu, but it did not disturb Chen Mu's retreat practice.

The main reason is that Qin Mengjun understands Chen Mu's inside story, and knows that Chen Mu now needs a quiet and peaceful environment to retreat and practice, and now her status in the Seven Xuanzong is already on a par with Yin Heng, and with her greeting Yin Heng, there is no need for any reason to let Chen Mu stay in the mountain gate to practice safely, and there will be no disturbance.

That's it.

Chen Mu stood beside the back cliff mountain stone, the whole person was like a stone sculpture, the wind and the sun did not move, so he spent nearly a month and a half silently, and finally opened his eyes slowly when it was past noon on this day.
