() After listening to the descriptions of Tianxiao, Tianyao and Zhu Xiaomin, Lu Hailong was greatly surprised, in the hidden cave on the cliff wall of the Night Wailing Valley, there was a figure who was suspected of being a sword immortal. He immediately grabbed Tianyao's wrist, Du Ling swam around his body, and suddenly his face showed joy, the twelve canons and eight major veins in Tianyao's body were greatly expanded, and even the most important and most difficult to broaden the two veins of Ren and Du were also included.

"You're in luck. Miao Haoshang sighed.

"Sword Immortal...... Old Lu, should we go and pay a visit? Jiang Huangu asked.

Zhu Xiaomin hurriedly said: "Three seniors, no. That mysterious senior only allowed the three of us to enter the cave, and no one else was allowed. ”

Lu Hailong nodded: "It was we who disturbed the master's retreat, since he doesn't want to meet, let's leave here quickly." ”

"We can't go yet. The senior once said that his time was running out, and that we should go and chat with him often in the next few days. "Tianyao said.

Lu Hailong, Miao Haoshang, and Jiang Huangu glanced at each other: "Okay, stay a few more days for the time being, and then we will leave Night Crying Valley after the matter is over." ”

Tianxiao, Tianyao, and Xiaomin responded in unison, walked towards the outer valley, and continued the day's refinement.

After the three of them left, Miao Haoshang asked puzzledly: "Old Lu, what does that person mean when he says 'time is running out'?

Lu Hailong did not answer, but pointed to the sky, his eyes showing fascination.

After that, Tianxiao, Tianyao and Xiaomin would go to the cave every day to visit Yan Linsong, and from his mouth, the three of them also knew about the unforgettable love he had with his wife Yu Zihan. It's just about the catastrophe and what happened after the catastrophe, Yan Linsong didn't say much.

On the fourth day, Yan Linsong suddenly told the three that there was no need to come again the next day. The three of them left the cave, and suddenly heard a deafening roar behind them, the entrance of the cave was collapsed and blocked by Yan Linsong, and Yu Zihan's tomb was hidden in the unknown cave forever.

"I didn't expect that in such an inconspicuous and desolate area, there would be a sword immortal......" Zhu Xiaomin looked at the cliff and sighed softly.

Tian Xiao said thoughtfully: "The Qinglong Continent is extremely vast, I don't know if there are any other sword immortals. One thing I don't understand, how long can I stay in this world after the tribulation? Senior Yan has actually stayed for decades!"

"That's because there's something he's nostalgic for. Back then, in the Great War of Immortals and Demons, there were as many as eighteen hidden sword immortals who suddenly appeared, so I guess there must be other sword immortals cultivating in inaccessible places now. "Tianyao said.

"I thought that the Sword Immortal must be a high-minded and extraordinary existence, but Senior Yan was amiable and approachable. We have this opportunity, and the senior brother and the second senior sister are going to be envious to death. Thanks to the blessings of our predecessors, our cultivation of the tempered body is almost over, and we don't know how the three seniors will torture us when refining the soul later. Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile.

The next day, the group left Nightcry Valley and flew west. Night Cry Valley was already at the junction of the two counties of Shenglong and Qianlong, so not long after flying, they entered the territory of the demon beasts. The state towns and villages along the way are desolate and dilapidated everywhere. After flying for several days, I finally arrived at my destination, Ethereal Mountain.

When it comes to Ethereal Mountain, people will think of a name called Ethereal Sect. The First Immortal Cultivator Sect of Shenglong County is located on the Ethereal Mountain. The overall topography of the Qinglong Continent is high in the east and low in the west, and the Ethereal Mountain is one of the few high mountains in the western part of the continent, and it is terrifyingly high, far surpassing the Golden Crow Mountain of the Red Sun Sect, the Tiandao Mountain of the Taiqing Sect, and the Suihan Mountain of the Yeli Sect.

From halfway up the mountain, the Ethereal Mountain was shrouded in a cloud of mist, and the Ethereal Sect was located at the top of the mountain.

Everyone landed at the foot of the mountain, and Zhu Xiaomin caught a glimpse of the stone tablet next to the mountain road, and read: "'Ethereal Mountain'." Isn't this the territory of the Ethereal Sect?Senior, are we going to cultivate in the Ethereal Sect?"

Lu Hailong accepted the fairy sword: "That's right." However, this is now the territory of the dragons, and I have agreed with the dragons to borrow this place for the time being. ”

Zhu Xiaomin said again: "Soul refining needs to find a place full of spiritual energy, why don't we go back to Taiqing Sect?"

Lu Hailong said: "You don't understand. Among the seven major sects, when it comes to the abundance of spiritual energy in the sect, the Ethereal Sect is not allowed to rank first. First, because the Ethereal Mountain is extremely high, the terrain naturally forms a tendency to gather spiritual power, and secondly, because the master of the Ethereal Sect who laid down the Sect Protector Formation can be called a formation wizard. We walked up the hill first, and I walked slowly on the way. ”

"Ethereal Mountain was the place where the Ethereal Sword Immortal Dragon Yu Spirit cultivated back then. After the Great War of Immortals and Demons, Long Yuling founded the Ethereal Sect on the Ethereal Mountain and continues to this day. The ethereal mountain is steep, with three main peaks, surrounded by twelve secondary peaks, overlooking from above, in the shape of three lotus flowers. As the saying goes: 'Mountains gather spirits.' There are no other high mountains around the Ethereal Mountain, and the twelve secondary peaks are the petals of lotus flowers, and they are clustered together, and the spiritual energy naturally gathers, and the three main peaks are like lotus seeds, gathering the spiritual energy of the secondary peaks again, so the spiritual energy is much more abundant than other mountains. In addition, the person who laid down the Great Array of Protectors was a formation master of the Ethereal Sect a long time ago, and he also superimposed an auxiliary array in the defensive formation of the Great Array of Protectors to gather aura, so the Ethereal Mountain can be described as an excellent place for cultivating immortals. Lu Hailong introduced as he walked.

Tian Yao asked: "Since the Ethereal Sect is located in this spiritual land, why is it only ranked fourth among the seven major sects? ”

Lu Hailong said with a smile: "The land of the other six major sects is not bad, and the Ethereal Mountain is only a little prosperous. In addition, the Great Array of Protectors was very vast, and the auxiliary array that gathered the aura had little effect, because it was extremely difficult to superimpose other formations in the defensive formation. ”

"Senior, let's talk about the superposition of formations, we haven't been exposed to this aspect of cultivation yet. "Tianyao is very curious about the formation.

"The formation is divided into five types: offense, defense, confusion, illusion, and auxiliary, of which attack and defense are the main formation, and the confusion and illusion are the secondary formations, and the auxiliary formations are more special and separate into a category. This array means the origin array, and it is extremely difficult to superimpose other formations, among which it is impossible to superimpose offense and attack, defense and defense, and attack and defense. Offense and defense

The two main formations can only be superimposed with two kinds of secondary formations and individual auxiliary formations, and the requirements for formation attainment are extremely high. Therefore, the auxiliary array in the Ethereal Sect Protector Sect Great Array has little effect. Lu Hailong explained.

"I understand, if this array can also be easily stacked, then it is possible to stack a hundred and eighty layers of defensive formation in the sect, then who can break the formation? Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile.

Lu Hailong also smiled slightly, and continued: "The two sub-formations of Mystery and Illusion are easier to superimpose. However, it can only have the effect of trapping or confusing the people in the array, so it doesn't make sense to stack too much, for those who can't break the formation, it is enough to stack without stacking, and for those who can break the formation, it is useless to stack too much. The last type of auxiliary formation is more special. Some are easy to stack, and some are difficult to stack, depending on the degree of fit with other formations and the level of formation of the arranger. This auxiliary array of the Ethereal Sect is not strong but it is difficult to fit, and it is already commendable that such a vast array can still have such a fit. ”

Then, Lu Hailong said with a straight face: "Soul refining requires abundant heaven and earth aura, and the purpose of your cultivation this time is to gather qi and form babies, which is a very crucial part of the way of cultivating immortals." There is such a quiet place to cultivate, but you have to work hard. Luckily for Nightcry Valley, you have saved ten months of time to get married, and the rest of the time is more than enough to get married. After you ascend to the Yuanying realm, the three of us will guide you to practice swordsmanship and body techniques. ”

Not long after, the group came to the mountain gate of the Ethereal Sect. The gray-white walls and blue-black tiles reveal a simple and quaint atmosphere. The walls on both sides of the gate are carved with three large characters, one side of which reads "Ethereal Sect" and the other side of which reads "Ethereal Mountain". The font is neat and beautiful, and it can be seen that it is from a woman's handwriting. It is said that the "Ethereal Mountain" is named after Long Yuling, the heart of the way of cultivating immortals is empty, and the mountain of Ruixiang is the spirit.

Pushing open the black lacquer door, the wide courtyard is revealed to everyone. In the distance is the main hall of the Ethereal Sect "Lonely Hung Hall". The empty Ethereal Sect seemed deserted and silent.

"Meditate in this courtyard. Remember, the main purpose of soul refining lies in the word 'determination'. The heart should be calm, and the qi should be calm. If you are elsewhere, you should be reminded to 'turn a deaf ear' to other noises, but fortunately there will be no other disturbances. Lu Hailong instructed.

Zhu Xiaomin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "It turns out that there is no difference between soul refining and when I was in the sect, I thought that the predecessors had any special methods." ”

Lu Hailong glanced at her and laughed: "Soul refining is not as good as refining the body, and there is indeed no quick way. But don't think that refining the soul will be easier than refining the body, continuous meditation for a year is a kind of hard training for perseverance, concentration, mental power, and control. Remember, getting a baby not only has a need for spiritual power, but also has a strong mental power and exquisite control support, spiritual power is not as flexible and free as the body, so this year's meditation needs to always try to control the spiritual power in the body, when the control of spiritual power is as easy as controlling the limbs, you have the conditions for getting a baby. ”

Hearing these words, the three disciples all understood that soul refining and meditation was by no means an easy task. The spiritual power runs in the dantian and meridians, and the most they can do now is stop and urge. If you want to control your spiritual power to the realm of free retraction, you still have a long way to go.

The three of them sat on the ground, took out the spirit crystal from their baggage, put their hands on the dantian, and began a long meditation with their eyes closed.

......

After Lu Hailong and the others left the Taiqing Sect, Li Yuanxiao began to be busy according to his instructions.

To refine the Heavenly Demon Pill, you need the gall of the three major demon pythons, plus the head of the seven major poisons in the world, to smelt together for 7749 days before you can become a pill. The three snake galls have been stored at the bottom of the blue water pool, and only seven kinds of poison are missing. Li Yuanxiao originally thought that Hua Qianxue should have everything there, but when he went to Zhuyuan and asked, he found out that after the flood flooded the Forgotten Valley, Hua Qianxue only brought out some special poisons and medicines, and none of the seven poisonous poisons.

The first of the seven poisonous poisons in the world, although it is not rare, it is also rare. It is not easy to gather the required amount of alchemy in a short period of time. As a last resort, Li Yuanxiao decided to go to the Poison Refining Sect. If there was not even one in the Seven Poison Gardens of the Poison Refining Sect, then the matter of refining the Heavenly Demon Pill would have to be put aside for the time being.

Regarding the Poison Refining Sect Master Peng Xinwei, Li Yuanxiao did not have a good impression. Since he was traveling with Yu Ruijiang when he went to the Poison Refining Sect last time, Li Yuanxiao also called him this time. Hua Qianxue wanted to see the Seven Poison Gardens of the Poison Refining Sect, and also asked to go with her.

When the three of them arrived at the Poison Refining Sect, it happened that Peng Xinwei had just returned from the Tianyun Sect a few days ago. Hearing that Li Yuanxiao was coming, he immediately came out of the palace to greet him.

"Sect Master Li, Elder Yu, Flower Daoyou, what kind of wind has blown you here, please come in quickly. Peng Xinwei welcomed the three of them into the main hall with a smile on his face.

After sitting down, Li Yuanxiao arched his hand and said, "Sect Master Peng, if you don't have anything to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I will get straight to the point." Because Qianxue wanted to refine some elixirs, she had to use the most of the seven poisons, but her storage was destroyed in the heavy rain last year. As a last resort, I had to turn to Sect Master Peng for help. Your Sect's Seven Poison Garden, there should be these poisons, right?"

Listening to Li Yuanxiao's words, Peng Xinwei frowned: "It's not a secret, that heavy rain for a month almost destroyed most of my sect's Seven Poison Gardens. Although there are seven major poisons, there are really not many. The rest will be used by my sect disciples for cultivation, I'm afraid it will ......"

"Naturally, I won't take advantage of your sect in vain. How about five Great Returning Dan in exchange?"

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. Since Sect Master Li is so generous, then how can I be stingy? Peng Xinwei smiled heartily, glanced at Hua Qianxue, and said secretly in his heart: "The Great Returning Pill is so precious, she actually gave up five at once, I don't know what kind of Pill she wants the head of the Seven Powerful Poisons to refine." Flower Pulse ......"

Indeed, the value of five Great Returning Pills is definitely more than seven kinds of poisons, if it is not for the urgent need, Li Yuanxiao is reluctant to spend so much. He took out a vial and handed it to the Poison Refining Sect disciple standing on the side, and the disciple delivered the vial to the sect master. Peng Xinwei opened it and glanced at it, and tightened the cork again. The atmosphere is fragrant, and there is no doubt that it is a big pill.

"Come with me. Peng Xinwei smiled all over his face and led the three of them to the seven peaks of the back mountain.

The Seven Peaks of the Poison Refining Sect Houshan are the same as the Seven Poison Gardens, named after the Seven Poisons.

The first to arrive is the miasma peak closest to the front mountain. After entering the Miasma Garden, Hua Qianxue began to look around. With her skills, she could tell how many kinds of miasma there were in the garden just by the smell of poisonous trees in the air. It seems that what Peng Xinwei said is true, the miasma garden was really affected by the heavy rain for months, although there are many poisonous trees in the garden, most of them are newly cultivated recently, and the toxicity is still shallow. Hua Qianxue caught the breath of a few traces of blood sealing her throat in the mixed smell, and before Peng Xinwei could lead the way, she found the direction where the poisonous wood was.

Peng Xinwei was a little surprised, Hua Qianxue had never been to the Seven Poisons Garden, and she actually knew the location of the Blood Seal Throat. The blood seal throat is in a corner of the miasma poison garden, and it is blocked by other poisonous trees, which is obviously invisible, so Hua Qianxue must rely on the direction of smell. Thinking of this, his mind was a little restless. In the past, there were only five Blood Seal Throats in the Miasma Garden, and only two survived after months of heavy rain, and the Blood Seal Throat was extremely difficult to cultivate, so he was a little hesitant to agree to Li Yuanxiao's request before. The huge miasma poison garden, with only two blood trees sealing the throat, Hua Qianxue was able to find the poisonous wood with such a faint smell, Peng Xinwei was really taken aback. At the same time, he also understood the gap between the Poison Refining Sect and the Flower Vein in the way of poison.

Sealing the throat with blood is a poisonous name, and it is also the name of a tree. This poison is the first of the seven major poisons in the world, and it is taken from the sap of the poisonous wood. I have to say that the Poison Refining Sect still has a good way of cultivating poisons, and as soon as she saw those two bloody throats, Hua Qianxue knew that this was a top-grade poisonous wood. The trunk of the tree is thick and straight, and the height is about 20 zhang, which is tall and towering. The leaves of the tree took on a purple-black color, which is a characteristic of the high concentration of toxins in the poisonous tree. A few nicks could be faintly seen on the trunk of the tree, presumably from the previous poisoning.

"This blood seals the throat, and I don't often use it in my sect. Three trees were killed by heavy rain, and these two trees were even more precious. If not, I would have given the venom to me. Peng Xinwei first explained the reason for being stingy, and then made a gesture to Hua Qianxue, "Ikebana friends, please." ”

Hua Qianxue stepped forward, took out a vial, took out the Dianwu Immortal Sword, and made a small cut on the trunk, the pale yellow poisonous juice slowly flowed out of the small mouth, and soon filled the vial. In the past, when blood was used to seal the throat to refine poison, a small vial was enough. However, the "Danxia Secret Codex" did not record the dosage required to refine the Heavenly Demon Pill, and to be on the safe side, she filled two small bottles of Blood Seal Throat Poison Juice. After she finished loading, Peng Xinwei took out a special sticky paste and applied it to the crack to stop the sap from flowing out.

Next, everyone went to the Herb Poison Garden. The poisonous weeds here are all planted in flower pots, and there are four pots of grass poison head broken intestine grass, and several branches are born on the grass stems of each column, Hua Qianxue picked six branches and put them in the medicine box. Then, they went to the Insect Poison Garden to get two soul entanglement spiders, went to the Gu Poison Garden to get two copies of the Blue Silkworm Gu, went to the Corpse Poison Garden and got three bottles of Thousand Corpse Powder, went to the Silk Poison Garden to get two Crane Ding Red, and went to the Flower Poison Garden to pick two Blood Begonias, so far I walked around the Seven Poison Gardens of the Poison Refining Sect.

Bidding farewell to Peng Xinwei, the three of them set off to return to Taiqing Sect. On the way, Hua Qianxue exclaimed: "I have heard the Seven Poison Gardens of the Poison Refining Sect for a long time, and I only got a glimpse of it today." Sure enough, it is the holy land of poison, and it is much stronger than the Valley of Forgetfulness. ”

"If the Poison Refining Sect hadn't had the Seven Poison Garden, how could it be where it is today. It's just that you see the peaks of the mountain behind it, because of the poisonous infection, it is terrible and barren. In comparison, it is still better to forget the valley. Yu Ruijiang said.

"Wuwugu poisons and drugs are accompanied by each other, restricting each other, and naturally there is some vitality. Hua Qianxue said, her face suddenly turned pale, "However, in order to cultivate poisons, the Poison Refining Sect seems to have used some unusual methods. I had heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Poison Refining Sect fed poison with people, but it didn't seem to be groundless. ”

"Oh, what did you find?" asked Li Yuanxiao.

"Not to mention anything else, just talk about the poisons in the corpse poison garden, in my experience, in order to make high-grade thousand corpse powder, the requirements for corpses are extremely strict. I sniffed the smell of all kinds of corpse poison and realized that something was wrong. There are several kinds of corpse powder in the garden, and the lower ones are dark red, and the smell is slightly bloody, and they are generally made from the corpses of dead birds and insects. The medium-grade Thousand Corpse Powder is dark green and has a somewhat rancid smell, which is made from the corpses of wild beasts. The high-grade thousand corpse powder is black, close to viscous, and the smell is rancid, which is taken from human corpses. And the two bottles I just took were black and top-notch. "Flower Thousand Snow Road.

Yu Ruijiang frowned after hearing this: "Qianxue, I have also seen black thousand corpse powder in the wooden house of Wuwu Valley, are you also ......?"

Hua Qianxue glanced at Yu Ruijiang: "If you don't understand, don't guess, corpse poison can be formed naturally." After a person dies and is buried in the soil, in the process of corpse **, there is a small chance that a thousand corpse powder will naturally be formed, and the number is very small. Tomb robbers who know how to use drugs will sell it at a high price when they find out, and the bottle you see is the one I bought for a lot of money. What I suspect is not the method of making drugs, but the quantity. There are as many as five bottles of top-grade thousand corpse powder in the corpse poison garden, which has to make people suspicious. In order to confirm my guess, I deliberately took three bottles, more than half of them, if it was bought by the Poison Refining Sect, Peng Xinwei would definitely be distressed, but he didn't even blink at that time. If it wasn't bought, it was cultivated from corpses. So I took some and twisted them in my hand, and saw that the touch sensing was made in recent years, but where can I find so many human corpses on the Poison Refining Sect? The only explanation is that they deliberately kill people and use corpses to cultivate a thousand corpse powder. When I think of this, I understand the origin of those rumors. ”

Li Yuanxiao sighed and shook his head: "Unfortunately, there is no evidence. Zhu Honglie and I both went to the Poison Refining Sect to ask, but Peng Xinwei refused to admit it, and on the other hand, Ye Shenrong strongly vouched, so he had no choice but to give up. ”

Hua Qianxue nodded: "When we find evidence in the future, we must stop this kind of unreasonable behavior." However, it is precisely because of this that the Seven Poison Gardens of the Poison Refining Sect can be called a holy place for poisons. The first of the seven poisonous poisons, each of them is an excellent quality, and this refining of the Heavenly Demon Pill will definitely be successful!"

Thinking that the mysterious Heavenly Demon Pill was about to come out, the hearts of the three of them were excited.
