In the blink of an eye, in the past year, Zhang Yifan has completed the cultivation of the body refining method, and his strength has increased greatly. He had already collected his other two exercises, and although he had not made much progress in practicing them occasionally, he had gained a lot.

But he was not happy at all, according to his estimates, it would take at least ten years to pass this trial. Although he will definitely gain a lot by then, this time is too long.

This year, he has explored the inside and outside of the Demon Town, and he has not found any trace of Chen Yuling at all, and he also knows that Chen Yuling may not be here anymore.

Zhang Yifan was going to go deep into the Valley of Beasts one more time, but if he couldn't find it again, he decided to concentrate on cultivation and stop looking for it, to see if there was a figure of Chen Yuling in the eighth layer trial.

Zhang Yifan was very well prepared, bought a defensive shield of barely calculated middle-level magic weapons, two spears, and spent all the savings on his body in the past year.

Then he headed deep into the Valley of the Beasts.

At the beginning, it was quite smooth, and Zhang Yifan, who had greatly improved his strength, was relatively easy to deal with one or two fourth-level demon beasts. But later, Zhang Yifan fell into a crisis.

Maybe it was because there was too much inexplicable emotional accumulation in his heart, Zhang Yifan's subsequent exploration was too radical, too deep into the depths of the Beast Valley, and he was ambushed by demon beasts all of a sudden, and was surrounded by more than a dozen demon beasts above level four!

Although he tried his best to resist and folded all the magic weapons on his body, but in the face of the siege of more than a dozen demon beasts, he was obviously outnumbered, and after killing several demon beasts, it was already the end of the strong crossbow.

"Alas, is this the end?" Zhang Yifan realized that he was about to be torn apart by the demon beast, and was about to crush the life-saving jade talisman.

At this moment, dozens of ice arrows rained down from the sky, killing all the demon beasts besieging him.

"Senior Brother Zhang, is that you?" An icy voice sounded in Zhang Yifan's ears.

Zhang Yifan looked up suddenly, and saw two white-clothed monks standing in the air, but there was only a shadow in his eyes.

"Sister Yuling! It's you!"

The monk in the air is Chen Yuling, who has disappeared for a long time, she is still dressed in white, her face is like a girl, there is no change in the slightest, and her whole temperament is the same as Zhang Yifan saw at that time, and even more ice and dust, exuding an aura far beyond the foundation building period.

Chen Yuling saw Zhang Yifan's voice, a smile appeared on her cold face, and then flew to Zhang Yifan's side and looked at him carefully.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and you've come to this point, and you have directly broken into the seventh layer, which is much more powerful than I was at that time. ”

"Sister Yuling, I haven't seen you for so many years, I really miss you, are you okay?" Zhang Yifan couldn't help it.

Seeing this, Chen Yuling didn't think about it, and said with a light smile: "Well, I'm doing well, I've gained a lot in this place of trials, and I've already advanced to the Jindan stage." And I'm not going back to Chu anymore. ”

"Senior sister, aren't you going back, the Daoists of the Yuqiong Sect are very worried about you, Sun Huai'an has also looked for you, but he should have been eliminated after the fourth layer of the trial tower. ”

"Senior Brother Sun, I can't go back. When I leave the Land of Trials, the Jade Qiong Sect will know the news, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

"Oh, okay. Zhang Yifan answered, and then found that Chen Yuling was standing next to a powerful monk with a handsome appearance and a cold temperament, who was looking at him gently, Zhang Yifan found that he couldn't see the other party's cultivation clearly, and at the same time, his heart sank, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Sister Yuling, who is this senior?"

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is Tuoba Qi Daoyou, a monk from the Northern Han Kingdom, and also a monk of the Jindan period, who entered this Miyun Palace trial with me. Since you and I are commensurate with each other as sisters and brothers, we should also be commensurate with each other. ”

"Senior Brother Zhang, I have heard Ling'er talk about you a long time ago, and it is really fate to meet here. Tuoba Qi said to Zhang Yifan with a smile.

When Zhang Yifan heard Tuoba Qi's words, his whole person was like being hit by five thunders, he was completely stunned, his head was blank, and his heart was painful like a knife, as if he couldn't breathe.

He was helpless to find that he was the only one in the whole world, and the surroundings were pitch black, and even the space was produced by countless ripples.

He felt as if he was sinking into the water, and no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yuling's voice woke Zhang Yifan from that state of drowning.

"Ah, nothing, just got distracted. Tuoba... Eldest brother... Good. Zhang Yifan hurriedly responded.

Zhang Yifan hurriedly buried the deepest thoughts in his heart, controlled the emotions in his mind, and tried to behave normally.

"By the way, Sister Yuling, this is the gift I was going to give you before, to repay you for saving me and leading me into the Tao at that time. Zhang Yifan hurriedly took out the Five Elements Trace Umbrella and the three Zhuyan Pills that had been prepared, and handed them to Chen Yuling tremblingly.

"Although this Five Elements Trace Umbrella is a magic weapon, it can cover the Five Elements and hide itself, I want to help you Sister Yuling. The Zhuyan Pill can stay on the face and keep the face unchanged, and one can last for more than a hundred years. Zhang Yifan then eagerly explained the effect.

"Well, thank you Senior Brother Zhang, I will accept these two things. Chen Yuling's expression moved, and then she took the two gifts.

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhang, what are your plans next, since you have arrived here, you should be qualified to stay. Chen Yuling asked.

"I have already chosen to return to the sect, and I have no regrets when I can see you Sister Yuling this time. Zhang Yifan finally pulled out of the state just now and said in a very ordinary tone.

Although he had forgotten everything about the Golden Gate Dao Sect, he had not forgotten his original choice at this time, when he chose to give up.

"In this case, it will be difficult for you and me to see each other again in the future. Chen Yuling said with some regret.

Thinking about the film card, Chen Yuling said to Zhang Yifan from the few things in the storage bag: "Since you go back, then you can help one person do one thing, and the reward is this Haoyang True Thunder Wood." ”

"Haoyang Real Thunder Wood?" Zhang Yifan recognized this thing at once, because he had a piece in his hand.

"Well, this is what the breeze left behind. He has fallen in this secret realm, you give his relics and this Thunder Pill to a female cultivator named Wu Jing in the Liangyi Sect of Wuji Mountain, if she is gone, then you will hand it over to the head of the Liangyi Sect. That Haoyang True Thunder Wood is the reward left by Qingfengzi. Chen Yuling explained carefully.

"Okay, Sister Yuling. But I'm not sure I'll be able to do it, as it looks like I'll lose my memories as soon as I get out of here. Not even anything recorded by Jade Jane. Zhang Yifan said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter, occasionally there will be something completely unrelated to the secret realm that will make the trialist have an impression, if you really can't remember it, it's also providence, don't force it. Chen Yuling replied lightly.

Her mind went back to thirty years ago, when Qing Fengzi died for that Thunder Pill pill. Before he died, he entrusted Chen Yuling to help him with this, but she can't go back to Chu State at present, so Chen Yuling has always regretted it, and she also feels a little guilty in her heart.

"I don't know if more than thirty years have passed, Senior Sister Wu is still alive, at that time, she only had the thirteenth layer of cultivation in the Qi refining period, and the Lei Ling Root was a little crippled, and she had to complete the Spirit Root to advance, otherwise there would be great danger. Alas, now that so many years have passed, I don't know if I can still help her. Chen Yuling thought in her heart.

"Sister Yuling, I'm leaving, goodbye, I wish you peace and happiness all the time. After Zhang Yifan finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Yuling to reply, he crushed the jade talisman in his hand, and then disappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Yuling sighed and put the two treasures given by Zhang Yifan in her hand into the storage bag.

"Ling'er, these two things don't seem to be of much use to you right now. Your own exercises have a miraculous effect, and the ice hidden supernatural power you comprehend is even more peculiar, and the Five Elements Shadow Trace Umbrella is just a magic weapon, and the effect should be..."Tuoba Qi said with some confusion.

"Brother Qi, this is just a thought, not the thing itself. ”

"Okay, but I'm afraid of this Senior Brother Zhang..."Tuoba Qi said when he saw this, his expression a little worried.

As soon as Tuoba Qi opened his mouth, Chen Yuling knew what he wanted to say, she knew about her partner's temperament, and knew that he was not worried or jealous that other people loved him, but he really had a good impression of Zhang Yifan, afraid that he would be hit by his lack of love and cut off the future of the immortal road.

"Brother Qi, don't worry about Senior Brother Zhang. Although he lost his parents and suffered a lot from a young age, he has always been strong. I think he'll eventually understand that there are some things that the sooner you know, the better. I hope he can find a suitable partner and cultivate the Immortal Dao together, just like you and me. Chen Yuling said softly to Tuoba Qi.

"The road to cultivate immortals is far, and the road to red dust is near. It is really difficult to find a like-minded partner in this ethereal avenue of cultivating immortals. I'm so lucky to have met you in a secret place. Tuoba Qi also sighed, holding Chen Yuling's hand.

"I'm the same, I didn't plan to find a Taoist companion, I was ready to pursue the Dao wholeheartedly, but I didn't want to meet you. ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, although their breath was cold, the tenderness in each other's eyes seemed to be able to melt each other, and Zhang Yifan's appearance made the two understand each other's hearts better.

Then Tuoba Qi said: "It's time for us to go out too, you and I have formed a golden pill, and our comprehension of this place has reached the limit, no matter how difficult it is to improve, it's time to report." ”

"Well, it's time to send a message to Yuqiong, but I'm a little sorry Master, she has been cultivating me with all her heart, but I..."

"There is no way to do this, we are cultivating immortals just to seek that glimmer of great avenue opportunity, and there is no doubt that the opportunity here is much greater than in the Nanliu Continent. Tuoba Qi reassured.

"I don't know why Senior Brother Zhang didn't choose to stay, I think he has extraordinary strength, I think he should have amazing talent, and there should be better development here, it's a pity. ”

"Everyone has their own secrets and choices, and if you think he has his own plans, you don't have to mind. Tuoba thought for a moment and said.
