The peak of the main vein of Wawu Mountain, a place that is rarely visited.

From the outside, it is a forest and the scenery is unremarkable.

But if you pass through the clouds and through the invisible air currents that permeate the sky, you will find that inside it, there is a forest of pavilions and jade, and there is another heaven and earth.

At this moment, in a finely carved and magnificent hall on the top of the mountain, there are five people sitting quietly, the person sitting in the first place is slightly older, looking about thirty years old, and the rest are in their early twenties.

These people are all young, but each of them has a fierce aura in them, like a peerless sword about to show its edge, which is very amazing.

"Tell me what's going on. The man at the top spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping over the people below.

Swept away by this gaze, the four young men all looked sad.

One of them thought for a while before he spoke: "I thought it was okay, but who knew that it had only been less than a month, and the medicine garden was stolen again, it was our negligence, please punish the senior brother." ”

Another person had a bitter face: "It may be that we were vigilant before, and the other party knew that there was no chance, so we temporarily stopped. ”

"This thief is too cunning, and he knows how to slip through the cracks, and he almost caught it before, so he almost ......"

The face of the man in the first place turned dark: "Haven't you still not been caught after saying so much? Where did you come from so many excuses, the dignified Sword Palace, and have been stolen by thieves three times, if this is spread out, won't it make the people of the Daomen laugh and lose their big teeth! When the master comes out of the customs and sees that the medicine garden has suffered heavy losses, you just wait to be cleaned up!"

"Senior brother, your help in this matter, the medicine garden is so big, our Sword Palace has not many people, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of care. "Someone made a proposal.

The Sword Palace's selection of disciples is all personally looking for it, and it is extremely strict, although in the end it ensures that all of them have strong combat power, but in some aspects, it has also caused the problem of scarcity of personnel in the huge Sword Palace.

If it weren't for a major event, the Sword Palace would be closed on weekdays, not in contact with the outside world, and rarely receive guests, so the Sword Palace would have become a mysterious place in the eyes of many people.

Now it's okay, the medicine garden has been stolen repeatedly, the loss is one thing, and the most important thing is that someone dares to steal on the territory of the Sword Palace, isn't this contempt for the existence of the Sword Palace?

As the saying goes, it's tolerable and it's unbearable!

"Who swore before that you didn't want me to help?"

Hearing this, some people bowed their heads in shame.

Senior Brother snorted coldly: "Let's settle this matter later, I summoned a few of you to discuss capturing this thief alive, I have already taken the gossip trap array, this time I will come with you to meet this elusive thief!"

"Then what if the other party doesn't show up? can freely come and go to the Sword Palace Mountain Protection Illusion Array, and the cultivation will not be low, let's still be careful. "Someone is worried, speak their minds.

The senior brother said slowly after groaning: "Your worries are reasonable, but I have already checked, the theft of the medicine garden is mainly the Di Yuan Fruit, this thing can only be used during the Qi refining period, and the Di Yuan Fruit can only be eaten five times at most, and there is no effect after that, according to what you said before, the other party has stolen three times before and after, but only takes away one Di Yuan Fruit each time, if it is a person, it will definitely not be so troublesome, most of them are demons, and it is likely that they do not have the ability to transform into shapes, but they have produced a little demon who is not weak in human intelligence." ”

As soon as everyone listened to Senior Brother's analysis, they couldn't help but nod after a little thought, thinking that it made sense.

"Since the other party knows the role of the Earth Yuan Fruit, he must have eaten it five times, and there should be two left, we just need to wait for the rabbit, as for the strength of the other party, the phantom array of our mountain protection is originally to confuse outsiders, and it does not have power, as long as the little demon has some Taoism, it is not difficult to break the formation, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

The senior brother is amazing, everyone admires him, and he analyzes everything in a few words, and even the original fear of the unknown has disappeared.

"One more thing, Master Zun sent a message from the retreat not long ago, saying that at this Daomen exchange meeting, there is a dreamless view from our Wawu Mountain, which is near our Sword Palace, so we have time to visit it. ”

"Then let's wait until the thieves are dealt with and go over and have a look. ”

Several people nodded when they heard this, and they didn't even have an opinion on the senior brother.

......

Jiangcheng City.

At the door of a convenience store, Ning Yan sat on a public seat under the shade next to him, surrounded by a constant crowd of people, the street was still bustling, and occasionally a few half-people and half-demons dressed as elites in the workplace could be seen.

As he ate a cookie, his gaze fell on a distant campus called Dawn.

To be precise, it was a 30-story building at the back of the campus that caught his attention, and the building hung a few large advertising words "Dream Research Institute" outside, which was extremely eye-catching.

"This Dream Research Institute is really big enough. According to the information found on the Internet, the entire building belongs to the Dream Research Institute, but there is very little information about the Dream Research Institute.

He took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and patted a middle-aged man next to him who was listening to a song with headphones: "Uncle, is it convenient to ask you something?"

The uncle could obviously hear his words clearly, took off his headphones and smiled: "Say, what do you want to ask?"

"Do you know what this Dream Institute is for?"

The mission only said that the target was to work at the Dream Creation Institute, but did not specify what the Institute did.

Of course, if you take it literally, it is estimated that everyone can think of what else the institute can do in addition to research?

But these are obviously not enough, at least, not enough for Ning Yan.

He is here to do a mission, and it is a matter of life, and he must know as many things as possible, and it is best to know what kind of research work this dream making institute is doing.

Li Ziman is an immortal cultivator, is only the Red Moon Fairy knowing, or is everyone knowing?

Are there any other immortal cultivators in the Dream Creation Institute?

These were all things he urgently needed to figure out.

"I heard that the institute is engaged in biological research, but it is rarely approached by the living, and the doorman is strict, and if the little brother wants to apply there, he has to inform someone in advance, and then call someone to pick you up." ”

The middle-aged man thought that Ning Yan was applying for a job at the institute, and couldn't help but look at him, carrying a very common black travel bag, and a long strip wrapped in coarse cloth tied to his back, which looked like a baton, a gray casual suit, and a pair of navy blue sneakers under his feet.

This outfit is commonplace and very common on the street.

"Biological research?" isn't much useful news, but it's better than nothing.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Knowing that he couldn't get any useful information from this person, Ning Yan threw the biscuit box into the trash can next to him, tightened his backpack and walked towards the Dream Research Institute.

"What a strange young man. The middle-aged man muttered, but didn't care, and put on headphones and shook his head to the melody.

The Dream Institute is built on a street behind the Shuguang campus, and the surroundings seem a little deserted, perhaps because of the research here, there are open spaces on both sides, and there are shops more than a hundred meters apart.

"Stop!" A face full of flesh appeared at the window of the guard's room, glaring at Ning Yan: "What are you doing?"

"I ......" he suddenly remembered the middle-aged uncle's words just now, and said with a smile: "I'm here to apply, can you let me in and have a look?"

"Do you have a phone appointment? Who is the person in charge? Did you tell you when you will come?" When the doorman heard that he was applying, his face was a little soothed, but he was still serious.

"Well, just to visit, you shouldn't need these, right?"

"It's a rule, if you don't make an appointment in advance, just leave. ”

Seeing that the doorman shook his head and refused without hesitation, Ning Yan frowned slightly, it seems that what the middle-aged uncle said is right, it is indeed difficult to enter here.

However, is it necessary for ordinary research institutes to be so strictly guarded?

He had no such experience, and he didn't know the rules of the institute, so he simply left for the time being.

Jiangcheng City is very large, larger than Sichuan City, the two places are not close to each other, in order to get here, he took a day's train, and traveled for most of the day to reach the destination.

Anyway, it's all in the place, and I'm not in a hurry to open a room nearby, and after taking a shower, I opened my phone and edited a message to the Akatsuki fairy: "Tomorrow will officially start." ”

"Fortunately, I didn't take the task in advance, otherwise I would have had to go for two days just to travel. He lay on the bed and sighed.

It didn't take long for Akatsuki Fairy to reply with a message: "Little brother, good luck!"

At the same time.

Qiancheng, on Dongting Lake.

In a hidden cave on a lake island, a stunning woman wearing only a thin light veil and a graceful posture slowly sat down, and in front of her, there were seven brass ancient lamps, flickering blue candles, like seven hell fires, extremely enchanting.

"Lord Akatsuki, do you really want to do this?" A young woman dressed in ancient costume not far away looked over, her tone full of worry: "This seven-star substitute lamp, but the treasure you have found with great difficulty from the secret realm, if that person fails, won't you waste a precious opportunity in vain?" ”

The woman's expression was respectful, and her words were full of concern.

"Xiaoqing, there is no way to have the best of both worlds in this world, I have been stranded in the Fake Dan Realm for many years, and I have never been able to go further, because that person has left a mark in my heart, if I don't get rid of her, I will stop here in this life, if you want to rely on time to smooth out, it is far from enough to build a foundation of longevity. ”

The stunning woman smiled quietly, and her autumn-like eyes looked at a palm-sized mud tire villain surrounded by seven copper lamps in the middle, the workmanship was not fine, and from the facial features, it was vaguely similar to her.

"At the beginning, I went through her life and realized that humanity is the cause of building a foundation, and now I want to remove her from stepping on the Jindan Road as the result, this knot will be untied sooner or later, it is rare for me to meet such a person, why not give it a try?"

She spoke softly, as if she was asking herself a low voice, her nails cut through the center of her eyebrows as she spoke, and a drop of bright red blood flowed out, flying into the mud-tired villain, and the earth-colored villain suddenly turned red.

"The person you are talking about, according to Chu Tianshi's calculations, can block the deadly calamity for me, if you can help me end this matter, Jin Dan can be expected. ”

"End...... It's also a catastrophe, look forward to his performance. ”

There was silence in the cave.
