After entering the courtyard of Jiuhe Zhenren, Zhang Yifan soon saw in the courtyard hall the Jiuhe Zhenren who was now in the early stage of the Yuan Infant Dacheng.

Jiuhe Zhenren's face is now full of red light, and his entire spirit is fuller than when he saw him a hundred years ago, and he is also younger, obviously he has made great progress in cultivating over the years, his longevity has increased greatly, and the whole person's state of mind is also different.

At this time, Zhang Yifan was completely different from before, and people who were not very familiar with him couldn't recognize him at all. In order not to be seen by Jiuhe Zhenren, Zhang Yifan just glanced at him and stepped forward respectfully.

"Junior Li Ji, meet the real people of Jiuhe. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I felt that your strength was good, but now that I get closer, I really didn't disappoint the old man, haha, so the last person is here. But the old man still has to confirm first, can you bring the task jade Jane?" Jiuhe Zhenren was very happy to see that Zhang Yifan's strength was extraordinary, but he still asked according to the process.

Zhang Yifan took out the jade slip and showed it to the other party, and Jiuhe Zhenren quickly agreed to let Zhang Yifan join.

"Now that the people have arrived, things should be sooner rather than later, Li Daoyou will wait for a while, and wait for the old man to call the other four people, and then set off after discussing it. Jiuhe said to Zhang Yifan kindly.

"Everything is according to the orders of the seniors. ”

Zhang Yifan's respectful attitude made Jiuhe Zhenren very satisfied.

Soon the four monks came to the hall one after the other, nodded to each other, and then sat down.

Zhang Yifan secretly inquired about these monks and found that the four of them were all monks of the late Jindan period.

Two of them have a faint and rich aura of water and fire, showing a blend of water and fire, and they are full of righteousness, obviously from famous families.

The aura slightly emitted by the other two was a little mixed, and the fire aura contained in it was a little bursting, and it couldn't be completely concealed, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

The difference is that one of them is surrounded by some black gas, and those black gases have a fishy smell, which makes people not want to get close.

The other person is a masked female cultivator, although she looks like she is not allowed to enter, but the temperament of the whole person is inexplicably close.

Several people present were also secretly absorbing him, and they all looked at Zhang Yifan's evil aura a little.

This time, Zhang Yifan deliberately did not completely restrain his evil spirit, and showed some to cover his heels.

Jiuhe Zhenren saw that everyone was there, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The last Taoist friend has been found, I will introduce you to each other, and then follow the old man to the Sunset Lake, the time is urgent, Sunset Lake only has a stable period of two months a year. ”

"These two are the elders of this sect, Xue Fei and He Tong, and their strength is in the top ten of the sect, so you can be as close as you can. Jiuhe Zhenren pointed to the two upright monks and said.

The two monks of the Black Miao Sect nodded to the other three, acting very politely.

"Scattered cultivator He Yanfall, from the northern part of the country, is very powerful in poisonous fire exercises. ”

Jiuhe Zhenren pointed to the monk who emitted black qi and said, but He Yanyuan nodded expressionlessly, which was regarded as a greeting.

"This is Fairy Liu Yan, and this is Daoyou Li Ji, both of whom are from scattered cultivation, and their strength should not be underestimated. ”

Jiuhe Zhenren quickly introduced the five people, and then began to talk about the mission.

"You should all know this mission, that is, follow the old man to the depths of Sunset Lake to find a treasure that the old man needs, as for what treasure it is, you will know later. ”

"There will be a certain amount of risk in this mission, after all, there are shapeshifting demon beasts in Sunset Lake, but don't worry, the old man will definitely not leave you alone at that time. ”

"The reward for this mission has been said by the old man before, and it is very clear. As long as the old man earnestly completes the treasure hunt task this time, he will get a reward of 50,000 task points per person, and if the old man has made a special contribution, he can also give him a bigger reward, and he can even promise to directly agree to the three conditions within his ability. ”

Finally, the old man asked again, who else wants to quit, say it now, and the old man can let him go. Wait a while and that won't work. ”

Jiuhe Zhenren said to the five people.

The five were silent, and not a single one withdrew.

Jiuhe Zhenren nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the reaction of the five people.

"Okay, since no one is out, let's get down to business. ”

"First of all, before this mission, the old man needs you to keep it a secret. This is the secret treasure of the eye of the oath, after being refined by the old man, even the monks who cultivated in the early stage of the Yuan Infant can play the role of the sworn bondage. ”

"The reason why this is so that you will not leak the old man's actions this time, and also ensure that the allies will not attack each other and plot against each other, and work together to find treasure for the old man. ”

"If there is no objection, then let's all make an oath to this secret treasure. ”

After Jiuhe Zhenren finished speaking, he directly took out a secret treasure similar to an eyeball, looked at the five people, and observed the reactions of the five people.

The shape of the eyeball secret treasure in Jiuhe Zhenren's hand is very special, a purple humanoid eyeball is grasped by a yellow hand, and the whole is about a foot in size.

The eyeballs are about the size of a fist, and they look very demonic, and they will make people feel dizzy after looking at them for a long time.

And no matter which way you look at this treasure, you will have the illusion that you are being stared at by that strange eyeball.

As soon as Zhang Yifan saw Jiuhe Zhenren take out the eye of the oath, he knew that the other party was very serious about the task of finding the treasure this time.

He had sworn to this oath eye before, and knew that this oath eye was very binding on the oath, and he had suffered a secret loss at the beginning.

The other four people didn't seem to have seen the eye of the oath, and they all released their divine sense to investigate, and then their faces turned pale, and they also suffered a loss like Zhang Yifan before, and lost a little divine sense.

"Senior Uncle Jiuhe, you didn't say that you swore to the eye of the heart oath before, isn't that a little inappropriate?" one of the Black Miao Sect monks said to Jiuhe Zhenren, and there was some dissatisfaction in his words.

"Hehe, Senior Nephew Xue Fei is a little worried. This oath eye is effective for both you and me, and it will also be a kind of protection for Senior Nephew Xue at that time, isn't it? Or did Senior Nephew Xue Fei have a different mind from the beginning? You must know that the old man made an exception to let you join this time, and he paid enough price. ”

"If Senior Nephew Xue Fei wants to quit, quit now. lest the old man, a newcomer to the Supreme Elder, be criticized by other Supreme Elders and bully the disciples of the sect. In case something happens to you, maybe the old man will still be wrong. ”

Jiuhe Zhenren's tone became colder and colder the more he spoke, making Na Xue Fei feel overwhelmed for a while, his face turned red, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Senior Uncle Jiuhe, you misunderstood, Senior Brother Xue didn't mean that, he just didn't understand Uncle Shi's secret treasure. Uncle Shi, you are a man of your word, and you will not count the disciples of the sect. We are willing to swear. Another monk, He Tong, hurriedly said.

"Well, it's not an example. Jiuhe Zhenren said lightly.

"What about you?"

Afterwards, Jiuhe Zhenren asked the three loose cultivators.

Except for Na He Yanluo, who hesitated a little and then agreed, Zhang Yifan and Liu Yan simply agreed.

Afterwards, Jiuhe Zhenren took five Jindan late stage monks and swore an oath to the Eye of the Heart Oath.

Except for Zhang Yifan, who was already very familiar with it, the four of them were very satisfied with the content of the heart oath, and their attitude towards Jiuhe Zhenren was much more relaxed than before.

After the oath was completed, Jiuhe Zhenren glanced at Zhang Yifan with some surprise.

Zhang Yifan's divine sense was very keen, but when he observed the real people of Jiuhe, he found that the other party looked at other people again, and there was nothing abnormal.

Zhang Yifan didn't think much about it, even if the other party found out that he was the former Li Yuan, it would not have much impact, with his current strength, even if he couldn't defeat Jiuhe Zhenren, it would be easy to escape.

"Okay, since everyone has sworn in their hearts, then the old man will tell me about the specific situation of the old man's mission this time. Jiuhe Zhenren said.

"This time, the old man is going to Sunset Lake to find a heaven and earth spiritual material called Sanyang True Water. If anyone can discover the Sanyang True Water, the old man will directly give him 50,000 task points, and see the amount of Sanyang True Water before making a determination. ”

"Sanyang True Water?Uncle Jiuhe, can you really be sure that there is such a heavenly treasure in that Sunset Lake?" He Tong asked hurriedly with a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Hehe, the old man took you to look for it with a certain degree of certainty, but this kind of genius treasure is hard to find, and whether there is one or not depends on luck. Jiuhe Zhenren said with a smile, looking a little unfathomable.

At this time, Zhang Yifan suddenly remembered the information he had purchased from Tianji Tower at a huge amount of spirit stones. Intelligence indicates that the Sunstone is found in Sunset Lake.

"Sanyang True Water, Sun Stone... Maybe the two are interdependent, if you find the Sanyang True Water, maybe you can also find the Sun Stone, and when the time comes, the Sun True Flame power in his dantian will increase, and he can refine the Wuyuan Yin Liquid into the Wuyuan Spirit Liquid, then his five spirit roots will be nourished, and the chance of advancing to the Yuan Infant will be one point greater. Zhang Yifan thought secretly.

Soon Jiuhe Zhenren will explain the situation in Sunset Lake, let the five of them prepare as soon as possible, and then arrange to start the next day.

Soon the next day arrived.

A group of six people began to cover their bodies and fled towards Sunset Lake, and the whole process was very loose.

Sunset Lake is located on the border between the Patriotic and Southern Kingdoms.

Most of the area of Sunset Lake is in the southern country, and only a few parts are on the patriotic side.

Originally, several major sects in the south planned to occupy the entire Sunset Lake for themselves, but the Hei Miao Sect was by no means an idle small force, and the two had fought for thousands of years, and most of them were also won by the country.

Sunset Lake is a dangerous place for both the Southern and Patriotic Kingdoms, and few monks can stay long.

Sunset Lake is very dangerous, with 10 months of the year being an underwater volcanic active period, and the whole Sunset Lake feels like a sun, the temperature is unusually high, and the lake is tumbling incessantly.

Except for some fire and water attribute monsters that can move, it is difficult for ordinary creatures to survive here.

At this time, even the Yuan Infant Monk could not stay underwater for a long time, otherwise there was a danger of falling.

This time, Jiuhe Zhenren deliberately chose to act during the calm period of Sunset Lake, which is also based on this.

In order not to startle the snake, the speed of the crowd was not fast, and they were all low-key and did not take the teleportation array.

After two days, the six of them finally came to Sunset Lake.

Although he had not yet entered the Sunset Lake, Zhang Yifan felt the heat wave coming to his face, and as for the lake, it would only be even hotter.

"This Sunset Lake is thousands of miles in circumference, and it is difficult to find the Sanyang True Water, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. You have a month to find the Sanyang True Water, and then the old man will sit in the center of the lake, staring at the shapeshifting monsters that may appear at any time. ”

"Go ahead, the sooner the better, and don't give up any clues. ”

Jiuyang Zhenren said to the five people.

The five of them nodded, and quickly prepared to enter the lake.

Zhang Yifan was stopped by Jiuhe Zhenren before leaving.

"Li Daoyou, as long as you help the old man find the Sanyang True Water, the old man can meet your three conditions, and at the same time, there is a way to go to Chu State. Jiuhe Zhenren secretly said.

Zhang Yifan knew that he might be recognized by Jiuhe Zhenren before his previous identity, but he wouldn't take it to heart, it just so happened that the other party had a way to go to Chu State, so why not.

"Very, good. Zhang Yifan said very simply, and then sank directly into the lake and began to look for its Sanyang true water.

As soon as he entered the Sunset Lake, Zhang Yifan felt that the sun in the dantian was a little abnormal, and his breath faintly wanted to erupt.

Zhang Yifan soon knew that Sun Zhenyan might have sensed something, he was a little excited in his heart, and quickly fled in the direction where Sun Zhenyan was shaking strongly.

Zhang Yifan's current physical body and blood qi are very strong, even in the water, the speed of the body method is very fast, and he quickly figured out some rules.

In the end, Zhang Yifan fled in a certain direction.

Zhang Yifan restrained his breath, and sacrificed the Heavenly Five Elements Bell, and along the way, he only encountered a few seventh- and eighth-level demon beasts whose strength was not very strong, and he quickly killed them and continued to move forward.

Zhang Yifan is a little strange, the Sunset Lake he is experiencing now does not seem to be as dangerous as rumored, you must know that he learned from the intelligence of Tianji Tower that the danger of Sunset Lake is very high.

In this regard, Zhang Yifan tightened a string to always remain alert, and gradually escaped towards the bottom of a lake in the south.

When Zhang Yifan came to the bottom of the lake in the south, he found that there was a small river valley hidden under the bottom of the lake.

If it weren't for the strong sense of the sun in Zhang Yifan's dantian, Zhang Yifan wouldn't have been able to find it at all.

After all, in the water, the divine sense basically cannot be separated from the body, and even if it is viewed with fiery eyes, it can only be seen at a distance of several miles.

Zhang Yifan walked along the valley at the bottom of the lake and finally came to the end of the valley.

At this time, in the area at the end of the river valley, there were a few wisps of liquid with a bright color faintly floating, and it was the Sanyang True Water that the Nine Rivers real people were looking for.

Zhang Yifan didn't expect that he would be able to find Sanyang True Water so quickly, and his heart was excited.

Zhang Yifan directly and unceremoniously collected all the balls of Sanyang True Water.

After harvesting the Sanyang True Water, Zhang Yifan soon found that there were eight relatively large stones in the area at the end of the river valley showing a certain regular placement.

He was very pleased when he looked at the stones, and these eight large stones were the sun stones he had been looking for.

Just as Zhang Yifan was about to take away the eight big stones, he found that a monk who was less than a hundred zhang away from him appeared at some point.

There were still serpentine scales on the cheeks on both sides of the monk, which had not receded, and at a glance it was clear that it was a non-human.

"Hmph, this king just wanted to heal here, but he didn't expect to be discovered by you ants. In that case, let's die!" the shape-shifting demon beast said to Zhang Yifan in a cold voice, and then directly attacked.
