In a quiet corner of Anpingju Xiaoyuan, Zhang Mo comforted Ji Xiaoyu, who was worried next to him.

The sunlight shines through the green leaves, sprinkling on the two of them, as if they are covered with a warm halo.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Mo said softly.

The worry in Ji Xiaoyu's eyes did not decrease by half a point: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for my insistence on persuading Dongfang Xu at that time......"

Zhang Mo shook his head and interrupted her words: "If you don't go to Dongfang Xu, there will be many fellow disciples who will be betrayed by him." ”

Qiao Yu said indignantly: "Dongfang Xu deserves it, the Dongfang family has a traitor, and he dares to retaliate against Zhang Mo, this is too deceitful." ”

Shen Liang's face was solemn: "The Dongfang family is one of the four major families of the Dongsheng Kingdom, and they will not easily let go of anyone who challenges their authority. Dongfang Xu is also deeply loved by the head of the family, if you kill him, they will definitely retaliate. ”

Zhang Mo took a deep breath: "I know, so I have to go to retreat and improve my strength first." ”

Several people were gathering to talk, and suddenly, a powerful aura fell from the sky, and Ji Chen fell from the sky, with a serious face and eyes as sharp as knives.

Several people hurriedly got up to greet them.

Ji Chen sat down at the stone table, looked at Zhang Mo calmly, and said, "I already know about Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Ba. ”

Zhang Mo said: "The apprentice has caused trouble for the master, please punish the master."

Ji Chen said slowly: "You did the right thing, what is wrong with killing the treacherous, his Dongfang family is just bullying, but in Liuyun Mountain, being a teacher can keep you safe."

Zhang Mo's face showed a trace of gratitude, he knew that with Ji Chen's words, at least on Liuyun Mountain, he had a strong backing.

Zhang Mo took a deep breath, his eyes were firm: "Thank you, Master, but apprentices can't hide in Liuyun Mountain for the rest of their lives."

Ji Chen glanced at him deeply, looking at this somewhat stubborn disciple, his eyes revealed appreciation: "From the first day I saw you, I knew that you were not a thing in the pool, and you were unwilling to be lonely." ”

Zhang Mo scratched his head and smiled: "I have to thank the master for his kindness and let me enter Liuyun Mountain to practice."

Ji Chen looked at the white clouds in the sky and sighed: "The world is unpredictable, when I opened a convenient door for you and let you take the exam, maybe it was because the teacher harmed you, if you are under the mountain, you will be ordinary all your life, and it is not good to be a mountain village husband?" ”

Zhang Mo shook his head and retorted: "What's the point of that, the eldest husband can't do anything, he has done nothing all his life, the apprentice is willing to die, if he can have an achievement, he will have no regrets." ”

Ji Chen nodded, stroked his beard and said: "However, you have to remember that no matter when and where, as long as you are on Liuyun Mountain, I can protect you, if you feel that you can't win the other party, don't reluctantly engage in the battle, admit it when you should admit it, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, you are my apprentice, I am not afraid of being embarrassed, and you don't have to be afraid." ”

Ji Xiaoyu also chimed in: "Yes, Teacher Ji has said it, admit it when you should admit it, no one laughs at you." ”

Zhang Mo smiled: "Okay, if you can't beat it, you will definitely admit it, and I'm not stupid." ”

Ji Chen's face was solemn and said: "You peers and at the same level are fighting and fighting, and you can't interfere as a teacher, but if someone wants to bully the small with the big and the weak with the strong, hum, unless I die." ”

Zhang Mo felt a warmth in his heart, his eyes moistened, in this world, who would want to give such a promise? Who wants to protect themselves like that? He felt extremely grateful and moved, bowed deeply, and choked up, "Thank you, master." ”

Ji Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't say thank you, cultivate hard, give me a good life, don't let my white-haired people send black-haired people, you can be regarded as filial piety to the master." ”

Zhang Mo was moved in his heart, his nose was sore, his throat choked, and after a while, he remembered the Hongtian Dao Chief, so he asked: "Master, there is an elder on the mountain, and his name is Hongtian." ”

Ji Chen's expression changed, and he said, "You ask him what he does, he is a traitor to Liuyun Mountain." ”

Zhang Mo's expression was solemn, and sure enough, this guy had a problem, and said, "Traitor? What did he do? ”

Ji Chen shook his head and said: "This is not clear, he is the junior disciple of the sect, and he is also a person with outstanding talents, he has always been mysterious and mysterious in the past hundred years, I don't know what to do, about 20 years ago, it should be, I don't remember the specific teacher, he betrayed Liuyun Mountain and joined the Demon Sect, how do you know him." ”

Zhang Mo didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to say: "I also heard someone mention his name, so I was curious and asked casually." ”

Ji Chen said: "Ao, then you guys can talk, I'll go first."

After saying that, his body spread, turned into a streamer, and went away in the sky.

After chatting for a while, several people said goodbye, Zhang Mo wanted to go to retreat immediately, turned to Ji Xiaoyu, and said affectionately: "Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about me, I have to retreat quickly to improve my strength." ”

Ji Xiaoyu nodded lightly and responded: "Retreat without distractions, I will wait for you to come back." ”

Her voice was full of trust and expectation, as if no matter how long it was, she was willing to wait silently and wait for Zhang Mo's return.

Everyone left, Zhang Mo wrote the words "traitor Hongtian" on the ground, looked at it for a while, erased it again, and scolded hatefully: "Hongtian, you are a miscellaneous hair, you give me a good life, don't die before I find you." ”

He took his belongings and chose a cave in the hinterland of Liuyun Mountain as a retreat place.

The cave is hidden deep in the belly of the mountain, surrounded by secluded surroundings, verdant ancient trees, and babbling streams. The aura of heaven and earth here gathers, like a natural aura whirlpool, and it is an excellent place for cultivation.

After entering the cave, Zhang Mo used the earth walking technique to skillfully seal the entrance of the cave.

His technique was already quite skillful at this point, so that the appearance was completely natural, without the slightest trace of artificiality, thus ensuring that he would not be disturbed by the outside world during the retreat.

Everything was arranged, Zhang Mo took a deep breath and stepped into the cave.

In the cave, Zhang Mo carefully arranged a spirit array, he brought all his belongings this time, and first placed four heavenly spirit stones in the position of the array, these spirit stones are like bright pearls, exuding a soft and powerful light, making the entire cave full of rich aura.

Zhang Mo devoted himself wholeheartedly, and the "Flowing Cloud Junction Pill Heart Formula" worked in his body, guiding the surrounding aura to merge into his body. He could feel that as the aura continued to absorb, his meridians became wider and stronger, and each breath seemed to absorb more of the qi of heaven and earth.

I don't know how many days and nights have passed, and the 'Xuandan' in Zhang Mo's body began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Xuandan, who could only have a faint connection with his surroundings, now seems to have a deeper communication ability, and seems to be able to perceive the power of heaven and earth that is even more distant.

As he continued to absorb the aura released by the Heavenly Soul Stone, the spirit stones gradually lost their luster one by one and turned into ordinary stones, and all four spirit stones were consumed, but they had not yet advanced.

Zhang Mo gritted his teeth and took out the hydrangea and Xuanyuan Dan, as soon as these two treasures were put into the array eye, they immediately emitted a bright light, and the surrounding aura also became thicker. He took a deep breath and began to urge the exercises, slowly extracting the aura from the hydrangea and the Xuanyuan Dan.

With the continuous infusion of aura, Zhang Mo felt that his realm was constantly improving, and his dantian seemed to have turned into an endless universe, vast and profound. In this universe, the aura gathers into stars, the meridians turn into galaxies, and his internal qi is surging in this universe, as dazzling as the vast Milky Way.

However, when his realm was about to step into a new realm, he felt a thin layer of boundaries blocking him. This boundary was like a moat, and he couldn't cross it.

He was ruthless in his heart, and he took out four Yellow Dragon Pills and put them into the formation eye.

A long aura emanated, and Zhang Mo urged the spirit array and began to extract the aura in the Huanglong Pill. This aura was surging like a surging river, breaking through the last obstacle in an instant.

At this moment, Zhang Mo felt that his vitality was tumbling like a frenzy, and his realm finally broke through that boundary at this moment and stepped into a new realm.

There was a violent vibration in the dantian, and the invisible barrier was constantly shattered under the impact of his vitality.

His whole body shook, and an unprecedented power poured out from the dantian, spreading all over his body, and this power was like a tide, washing through his meridians and body, bringing a deep level of purification and sublimation.

At this moment, Zhang Mo clearly felt that he had successfully broken through to the "Xuandan Realm Dual".

He grinned in pain as he looked at the depleted Heavenly Soul Stone, Hydrangea and Yellow Dragon Pill, but for the sake of his strength, he knew it was all worth it.

After the breakthrough was successful, Zhang Mo deeply felt the majesty and depth of the vitality in his body. It is a precipitated power, as solid as a 10,000-year-old glacier, as endless as a vast river.

What he felt was not only the fullness of vitality, but also the overall improvement of physical strength and endurance. His physical body, like refined iron that has been tempered thousands of times, is tough and powerful, full of endless explosive power.

His current explosiveness is definitely stronger than that of Dongfang Ba that day!

What surprised him even more was that his Yuan Shen seemed to have become more clear and powerful under the nourishment of this power.

It was a spiritual uplift, and his perception, thinking, and reaction reached a whole new level. His primordial spirit, like the stars in the night sky, shines brightly and brilliantly.

In his dantian, 'Xuandan' has also undergone significant changes. It seemed to be brighter and more mysterious, giving off a wonderful glow. The glow, like the light of the stars, is deep and mysterious, containing endless mysteries and powers.

At this moment, Zhang Mo could easily sense the breath of the mountains and rivers in the distance, and could clearly hear the insects and birds. He is more connected to nature, as if he is a part of nature, breathing and sharing life with all things in heaven and earth.

This is Zhang Mo after the breakthrough, a more powerful, more sensitive, and more unfathomable Zhang Mo.

This process, for Zhang Mo, is a comprehensive promotion and transformation, a promotion that originally took several years to complete, with the assistance of Heavenly Soul Stone, Hydrangea, Xuanyuan Dan, and Huanglong Dan, he achieved it in just one month.

But the price is also huge, equivalent to more than 3,000 taels of silver, besides, this kind of spirit stone and hydrangea are often priceless, and it is not easy to buy with money.
