Like many places, Skylight City also has a place dedicated to the sale of medicinal herbs, which is a wide but not very long street, bustling with people from morning to night.

At this time, Daoyuan was walking alone on this street.

Naturally, he came here to buy medicine, but what he wanted to buy was something unusual, but an herb called Earth Spirit Flower.

The earth spirit flower is not included in the list of rare miracle medicines, but it is extremely rare and rare, and it is said that it has the effect of returning to the original and returning to the yuan, and it really has the effect of nourishing the gods. Dao Yuan thought hard for a long time, and finally felt that this thing should have some effect on Hai Wuya's recovery of the true element, so he came here specifically to try his luck.

For two days in a row, he not only searched all the medicinal herb shops here, but also inquired about countless medicine pickers who came to sell medicinal herbs, but still found nothing. But he was not discouraged, because he knew that this spirit flower was indeed rare and rare, and its shape was extremely ordinary, almost no different from ordinary wildflowers, and it was likely that most of the medicine pickers did not know about this thing at all, and even he himself had only seen some sporadic records from books, not even the patterns, let alone the real thing.

From the beginning of the morning sun, until the fall of Jin Wuxi, another day passed, until the people on the street had disappeared and most of the shops were ready to close, he looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance and slowly walked back to the martial arts courtyard.

"It seems that this spiritual flower is indeed difficult to find, and after looking for two days, there is no clue at all...... Sword Spirit, if you think about it again, is there no other way?"

"Even if there is such a method, it must be extremely difficult!" Sword Spirit frowned and said, "In my time, there was once an amazing and brilliant immortal genius in the Dan Dao side, known as Danzun. His alchemy methods can be said to be earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about it, and some ordinary herbs have the miraculous effect of the living dead, flesh and white bones in his hands! Moreover, at that time, all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures also emerged one after another, and there was no shortage of them, just like now, it is difficult to find a single earth spirit flower! I think that if he was still alive, maybe there would be a way to ...... it."

Even if he has an endless lifespan and has lived to this day, legends like this kind of legend are basically all retreating in the valley and not being able to come out of the world, how can we have that kind of great fate method and have to meet the face of the sky!" Dao Yuan sighed: "So, let's talk about something practical." ”

"When did I say I was looking for him?" Sword Spirit said dissatisfiedly: "You must know that Dan Dao is the same as Martial Dao, there will be incense inheritance, and an immortal like Danzun will not continue his inheritance!?"

Dao Yuan's heart moved: "I remember that three thousand years ago, there were two powerful figures on the continent - Danzun and Poison Zun! Legend has it that one of them specialized in alchemy, the other specialized in making drugs, and the means had reached the realm of transformation, they were the two extremes in the rivers and lakes at that time, and they were also opponents who held each other for a lifetime.

"It's very likely!" Sword Spirit nodded and said: "However, my Danzun at that time was not only alchemist, you also know that this kind of thing, all the way through, those who can heal will also kill people, he also has a very high attainment in the way of poison, but he doesn't want to hurt more living beings and plant boundless sins, so few people know that he is actually a master of using poison!"

The two were talking to themselves, and suddenly, the sword spirit reminded in a loud voice: "Be careful, there is a master in front of you!"

Almost at the same time, Dao Yuan heard two flying sounds breaking through the air, the speed was so fast, it was indeed an ordinary martial artist, his body flashed, and he quickly hid in a secret and dark place, looking up.

Two black shadows, one in front of the other and one behind, flashed across the roof.

Although it was only a blink of an eye, Dao Yuan still recognized the black shadow behind him, it was none other than the messenger Xue Cheng.

"Looks like he's chasing the guy in front of him, what's going on...... something?"

"Just go and see who you want!Although the killing intent they exude is very faint, it is still difficult for me!" Sword Spirit seemed to be a little excited.

Dao Yuan nodded, holding the sword of life and death in his backhand, and under the guidance of the sword spirit, he spread out his star steps and followed.

The black shadow in front seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the city, and it didn't take long for him to come to the edge of the city, and the moment he jumped up the city wall, he waved his hand and stunned the two patrol soldiers, and his feet touched the ground slightly, and his body pounced on the outside of the city like a big bird.

Xue Cheng did not hesitate, and then hurriedly followed.

At this time, other soldiers who were patrolling the city noticed the movement here and came to check one after another.

Although Dao Yuan could also fly over the city wall, he couldn't be as relaxed as the two in front of him, and he was unknown, so in desperation, he had to come to the city gate and take out the token given by Xiao Bufan, indicating that he wanted to go out of the city.

The city guard checked the token, and without saying a word, he directly ordered someone to open the city gate and let him out of the city.

At this time, the two of them had already disappeared, and the sword spirit flashed the sword of life and death, silently felt it for a moment, and pointed to the southeast: "There!"

Dao Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and under the cover of the hazy moonlight, he carefully tracked the past, and the sword spirit followed him, drifting away without slowness.

He urged Zhenyuan and exerted the star step to the extreme, until he chased for more than ten miles, and then stopped under the reminder of the sword spirit.

"If you don't want to be discovered, this distance is fine. ”

Dao Yuan bent over, hidden behind a patch of weeds, and looked at it with his eyes.

More than a hundred zhang in front, Xue Cheng and the man in black were separated by more than ten zhang, neither of them spoke, and they both looked at each other coldly.

"Why didn't you run away?" Looking at the black-clothed man's relaxed appearance, Xue Cheng couldn't bear it a little.

"Run, do you think the old man is running?" haha......" The man in black opened his mouth and laughed, and the black face towel vibrated slightly with his laughter: "It seems that I overestimate you a little!"

"Less nonsense!" Xue Cheng's face changed, and he said angrily: "What do you want to do when you brought me here?!"

"Kill you!" the man in black stopped laughing and coldly spat out two words.

"What a big breath!" Xue Cheng didn't get angry but laughed: "Why didn't I see that you have the strength to kill me?" Running fast doesn't mean that your cultivation is high!"

The man in black looked at a large dark cloud floating in the distance, slowly covering the moonlight that was not very bright, and said leisurely: "So I said, I overestimated you." ”

"Who the hell are you, don't you know the identity of this messenger?!"

Xue Cheng was sitting alone in the room, but he was alarmed by this person, he thought it was a thief, and in anger, he wanted to catch him and punish him, he didn't want this person's light body kung fu to be quite clever, and he fled immediately after knowing that he was discovered, and the speed was as fast as the wind, with his own strength, he couldn't catch up in a hurry, and in a fit of anger, he didn't think about anything else, so he followed the man in black and came here.

It wasn't until the other party stopped, he was secretly frightened: Could it be that he brought me here to besiege and kill me? But then he was relieved, this place is flat, vast and spacious, there are only some sparse weeds, but there are not many people hidden, and he can also see that the strength of the other party is not higher than him, but it is just faster.

"Hey...... It's just that I know your identity, the old man will kill you, and you still use your identity to scare me, it's ridiculous!"

With a choking sound, an autumn-like sword light appeared, and Xue Cheng looked at the man in black gloomily: "If you want to kill me, then show your strength!"

The man in black unhurriedly untied the weapon on his waist, it was a sword that was only a few feet long, with a black scabbard and a black hilt, when he pulled it out, Xue Cheng was surprised to find that even the sword body was black.

That kind of black, different from the quaint atmosphere of the sword of life and death, pure and majestic, but an extremely strange cold, breathtaking coldness, as if this sword stayed in the abyss of hell for countless years, absorbing all the darkness in it, before it became what it is now.

Xue Cheng struck a stirring spirit imperceptibly, then gritted his teeth, and prepared to attack, he felt that if he waited a little longer, maybe he would be disturbed by the killing intent emitted by this sword, and before the battle started, he would lose the upper hand first.

A gust of wind suddenly rose on the flat ground, and Xue Cheng made a move.

The autumn water-like sword body instantly condensed into a line of cold rays, quickly stabbing at the man in black, and the next moment, the cold rays split into two, turning into two, followed by three, four, and five......

More and more cold rays appeared with Xue Cheng's advancing figure, and when they crossed a distance of more than ten zhang and came to the man in black, those cold rays had increased to nearly a hundred, and the Dao, like lightning breaking through the clouds, mercilessly slashed over.

"Carving insect skills!" the man in black snorted disdainfully, and slowly raised his right hand, the short sword seemed to be inflated, its length doubled in an instant, and the sword body was also more than three inches wider, and the black light became more and more unpredictable, confusing people's minds.

If you look closely, you can see that it is not actually the sword body that has become longer and wider, but a black mist full of death has attached to the sword, and this mist is exactly the same color as the sword body, very similar to the derived sword rays, so it is easy to give people the illusion.

Xue Cheng had never seen such a strange situation, and couldn't help but be surprised, but at this moment, the arrow had to be fired, he shouted, trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and in the howling wind, the silver light and the black mist suddenly met.

Rumble!

The muffled sound was like thunder, sparks splashed everywhere, countless dirt with thick turf were shaken out by the powerful energy, and many dead grasses were directly shaken into powder, and where the two fought, a large pit with a width of more than one foot appeared in an instant.

Xue Cheng retreated dozens of steps in a row, his expression slowly turned into shock, and he lost his voice: "You...... ...... you hide your strength?"
