With Gu Liang's gag, Zhao Yuanyu finally stopped glaring at Wu Kai, but his expression was still a little bad.

"Yuan Yu, don't pay attention to Wu Kai, Yan Ran's ability is not understood by others, don't we know yet, she will be fine. Zhao Yuanhao whispered comforting.

"But Shushan is so dangerous, there are many demon beasts that have cultivated above the foundation realm, and my sister is only a Qi cultivation period cultivator now" Zhao Yuanyu still frowned, and then looked at Wu Kai again, "That guy just obviously has something to say!"

"Although Yan Ran's cultivation is not as high as ours, don't forget, she has a spirit rune in her hand, whether it is a foundation building monk or a foundation building realm demon beast, she can't please it. ”

"I hope so!" At this time, Zhao Yuanyu regretted very much in his heart, he should have waited for Yan Ran and entered Shushan with her.

At this moment, Gu Liang walked to the two of them with a smile.

"Brother Yuanyu and Brother Yuanhao, you two can do it, I haven't seen you for a few days, and this strength has increased a lot, and the speed can't even be compared to our Boss Jiang. ”

"Brother Gu said with a smile, how can the two of us compare with Captain Jiang!" Seeing Gu Liang coming, Zhao Yuanhao immediately answered with a smile, and Zhao Yuanyu on the side pulled the corners of his mouth at Gu Liang without smiling because he was worried about Yan Ran.

"Brother Yuanyu, are you worried about Sister Yan Ran? If you want me to say, what is there to worry about, just the sister's ability to use spirit talismans, who can hurt her!" Gu Liang said as he looked at Zhao Yuanyu and the two.

Zhao Yuanyu was a little absent-minded and couldn't see anything, but Zhao Yuanhao nodded in agreement, and looked at his calf during the process.

"Borrowing Gu Geji's words. Zhao Yuanyu said lightly, "Brother Gu, many brothers in our mercenary group have been injured, so the two of us will go first!"

"Good!"

Gu Liang watched Zhao Yuanyu and the others walk towards Wei Yucai and the others not far away, before turning around and walking towards the martial arts monks.

"How is it, have you found out anything?" Jiang Yifan looked at Gu Liang.

"The two of them didn't say anything, but according to my observation, the reason why their speed increased so fast all of a sudden should be related to Yan Ran!" Gu Liang said.

"Yan Ran?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, the Shushan Sword Sect monks standing next to the martial arts monk were all surprised.

"What, senior brother, do you know Yan Ran?" Jiang Yifan looked at Shen Ziqing and the others.

In addition to being the captain of the elite team of the martial arts, Jiang Yifan also has a double identity, that is, a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect.

"You say that person Yan Ran is very good at using talismans?" Shen Ziqing asked without answering.

"That's right!" Jiang Yifan nodded.

"Then I know why they're faster than ours, they should have light talismans on them. "He is well aware of the effects of the light talisman.

"No, even if they have a light talisman on their body, it won't last that long!"

Nowadays, the spirit runes sold in Shuchengfang City are basically used once, and the maintenance time is relatively short.

"Their talisman can be used over and over again!"

"What!"

At this time, not only the martial arts monks were surprised, but even the people of the Shushan Sword Sect were shocked.

"I see, I'll just say, Zhao Yuanyu and the others have entered the foundation building realm for so long after us, how can their strength catch up with us at once! Gu Liang said with a smile.

Hearing him say this, Shen Ziqing and the others looked a little wrong.

"I'm afraid I can't, not long ago, she was forced to jump off the cliff by the Zhang family monk!"

"What !!"

After that, Shen Ziqing told the story of the Zhang family's monks chasing and killing Yan Ran.

"This Zhang family is really bullying!"

"What should I do, after that, the Xingchen Mercenary Group and the Zhang Family Monk will follow us into the middle of Shushan Mountain, if Zhao Yuanyu knows about this, then he will not have to fight with Zhang Shaofeng?"

"Let's hide this in advance, it's important to find spiritual soil!" Jiang Yifan said in a deep voice.

"Hey!"

------

At the bottom of the cliff, in front of the underground cave.

A cluster of flames was burning vigorously, and in the center of the flame stood a snow-white furnace, and bursts of golden light continued to emanate from the cracks in the furnace lid.

After a few hours, the flames were extinguished, the lid of the furnace flew up, and pieces of golden rune paper flew out quickly, neatly stacked in the palm of Yan Ran's hand.

Looking at the two golden stripes on the rune paper, Yan Ran smiled happily.

"Second-order rune paper. ”

It seems that the quality of Yanhuangmu here is really good, and she actually made her refine the second-order rune paper, so that as long as her spirit is strong enough and her aura is enough, she can make second-order spirit runes.

Originally, she was still worried that the spirit runes she got from the four treasures were almost running out, but now that she had these runes, she didn't have to worry about running out of spirit runes.

After that, Yan Ran began to make spirit runes again.

Making spiritual runes is a process that consumes more spiritual energy, and as soon as the spiritual energy is exhausted, Yan Ran directly meditates on his knees and begins to cultivate.

In this way, Yan Ran cultivated while making talismans, and after she had made all the spirit runes she needed, her cultivation was directly promoted to the eleventh level of qi training.

"It turns out that when the aura is exhausted, the speed of cultivation will be much faster than usual!" Yan Ran was obviously a little surprised by this discovery.

Since the aura she needed to cultivate was many times higher than that of others, coupled with the existence of the lotus peng, although her cultivation speed was quite fast, the speed of her promotion was a little slow.

She still vividly remembered the experience of being chased and killed by the Zhuji monks before, and she had almost no power to fight back, and Yan Ran at this time was more eager than ever to improve her cultivation.

If she was strong enough, would she be forced to jump off a cliff in such embarrassment?

Therefore, now that she had found such a way to increase her cultivation speed, how could she not be happy.

With the continuous improvement of her cultivation, Yan Ran's Yuan Shen was also gradually strengthening, and when she entered the eleventh layer of Qi training, she would be able to use her divine sense to evolve some simple second-order runes.

Looking at the second-order Five Elements Spirit Rune in his hand, Yan Ran sighed, "It's up to you whether you can get out of the cave or not!"

The second-order spirit rune she made now may not be very powerful, but she has a lot of it!

When she saw those black fish in the river, she was ready to win by quantity.

"Boom!"

A second-order fire wall talisman was thrown out of the rune array by Yan Ran, and in an instant, those demon beasts surrounding the rune array scattered in a hurry, and the slow ones were directly burned into fireballs.

Seeing that the demon beast had fled away, Yan Ran quickly put away the talisman array, took a deep breath, activated the aura talisman and the golden cover talisman in his hand, and quickly stepped into the cave.

Aura, a type of amulet that can be used as a lamp.

The cave was pitch black, and there was no light, but there was no way to move forward.

The golden shield talisman, a defensive spirit rune, as soon as it is activated, Yan Ran's body is shrouded in a transparent golden light curtain, a second-order lower grade spirit rune, which can resist the attacks of demon beasts or monks in the early stage of foundation building.

After Yan Ran stepped into the cave, three spiritual light talismans, one on the left and one on the right, suspended around her, with an irradial range of nearly twenty meters.

The illumination of the spiritual light charm allowed Yan Ran to see the situation of the cave clearly.

The cave is not as wet as imagined, the river flows slowly, I don't know where it flows, and on both sides of the river bank is a strange rocky ground, not a single grass grows, not even a moss can be seen.

The whole cave gives Yan Ran the feeling of one word, black.

Black rivers, black stones, black walls.

Yan Ran took the Falling Spirit Talisman in his hand and carefully walked along the river.

After walking less than 100 meters, there was a sound of jumping out of the water in the cave, and then all kinds of water arrows, water blades, and water columns flew towards Yan Ran like raindrops.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A burst of metal knocking sounded on Yan Ran's body, and the golden light curtain that shrouded her body vibrated violently.

"Wow!"

A spirit rune flew out of Yan Ran's hand and was suspended on the surface of the river, and then, countless purple lightning bolts flew away from the spirit rune, and with a bang, within a range of hundreds of meters on the river surface, an electric arc flashed instantly, and black fish were constantly electrocuted out of the river.

"Boom"

The black fish did not die after being electrocuted to the ground, and a fire snake talisman passed, and after a while, the smell of barbecued meat came out of the cave.

Yan Ran breathed a sigh of relief when there were no black fish jumping out of the river, but when he saw the dense black fish hands on the ground, his expression became a little heavy.

She had just entered the cave when she encountered such a fierce attack, and she didn't know what kind of danger was waiting for her in the depths of the cave!

"I don't know if these black fish can be eaten!"

This is all a foundation building realm demon beast, and there is a lot of aura contained in the body, after pondering for a while, Yan Ran still put some black fish into the gold ring, and prepared to find a demon beast to test it later.

Keep moving.

After a while, the blackfish in the river were much quieter, and they didn't attack Yan Ran again, probably because they were scared by electricity, and almost all the blackfish within hundreds of meters were overturned.

It wasn't until Yan Ran came to a flat realm that the attack struck again.

This attack was obviously more fierce than the previous one, almost piercing the golden cover on Yan Ran's body.

Yan Ran threw ten thunderstorm talismans before forcing the black fish in this section of the river to retreat.

"Hey, what is this?"

On this flat ground, there is a piece of ground less than one square meter, and some rice-like plants grow, but the grains on the rice do not have rice husks, only white and peanut-sized rice grains.

"Is this a variant of rice?" Yan Ran looked at this small piece of rice suspiciously, carefully picked one and put it in his mouth, and instantly a rich rice fragrance filled the tip of his tongue.

"It's really rice!" Yan Ran looked a little surprised, "But the aura in this rice grain is really strong!"

Suddenly, Yan Ran's eyes lit up, "This shouldn't be the kind of spiritual rice that the old fox said, right?"

"Whoa!"

Just as Yan Ran stretched out his hand to the rice again, a few days of black fish quickly jumped out of the river.

Although these black fish did not stay in the air for long, Yan Ran still caught the anxiety in their eyes.

Knowing that these rice were likely to be spiritual rice, Yan Ran didn't pay attention to the roaring river surface at all, divided it by two, and quickly harvested this small piece of rice.

When he put the last rice into the gold ring, Yan Ran even saw the fire in the eyes of a black fish that jumped out of the water.

"This black soil seems to be a little different, it's all fat and oily!"

Looking at the black and shiny soil on the ground, Yan Ran decided to dig it back together.

The black soil was one of the most fertile soils before the great changes in heaven and earth, and now that it is planted with spiritual rice rich in spiritual energy, Yan Ran feels the need to move back together, maybe, in the future, she and her grandmother and uncle will not worry about having no spiritual rice to eat.

"That's it!"

After Yan Ran finished digging up the land, he collected a small tuft of blackened and shiny soil.

After collecting the soil into the golden ring, Yan Ran once again made his way down the river.

Along the way after that, except for when she was attacked by a large-scale blackfish, Yan Ran was a little depressed, and she was very happy at other times.

Because, every once in a while, there will be spiritual rice and black soil in the cave, although the amount is relatively small, but after accumulating a lot, she is about to collect half a cubic meter.

Yan Ran just walked and dug the soil, leaving pits in the cave.

------

At the same time, under the leadership of the elite monks of the martial arts, a team of dozens of people began to enter the middle of Shushan.

And the direction in which they were going happened to be a fork of the river Yan Ran was taking.

In other words, Yan Ran followed the main trunk of the river, while they followed a tributary.

The confluence of the main trunk and tributaries is just the inner perimeter of Shushan, less than ten miles away from the entrance of the secret realm of Shushan.

"Senior Sister Meng Yun, are you sure you are heading in this direction?" Jiang Yifan looked at Meng Yun with a hesitant expression, there was a karst cave ahead, and he knew that it must be very dangerous inside.

"You can't be wrong. Meng Yun nodded seriously.

Jiang Yifan glanced at the white mouse on Meng Yun's shoulder, and said after a long time, "Okay, let's go along this river, but everyone must be careful, the aggression of the creatures in the water is no worse than other demon beasts, or even more powerful." ”

Under the leadership of Jiang Yifan, dozens of monks also walked into a dark cave.

At the back of the crowd, Guan Miaoxin looked at Hu Tong with a puzzled expression, "Senior, why do we have to follow them?"

"Do you see that mouse on the shoulder of that female sword cultivator?" Hu Tong's gaze quickly swept towards Meng Yun, "If the old man guessed correctly, it should be a treasure hunting mouse." ”

"Treasure Hunt Mouse, do you mean a treasure hunt rat that can find treasures?" Guan Miao's face showed surprise.

"Yes, the treasure hunting rat is a demon beast that is particularly sensitive to the breath of treasures, as long as we follow it, it will be a matter of time before we find treasures. The foundation of the Shushan Sword Sect is really powerful, and even this extremely rare demon beast can be found. ”

Hearing this, Guan Miaoxin nodded in agreement, she had heard her grandfather say that the Shushan Sword Sect had obtained a complete sword inheritance at the beginning of the great changes in heaven and earth, and it was one of the first few legal sects recognized by the Dao Alliance.

While one person and one fox were chatting, there was a commotion in the crowd ahead, and immediately after, screams and fierce fights were heard.

"It's not good, there's a monster attack!"

Although there are not as many demon beasts in the tributaries as the main trunk, almost all of them have reached the late stage of Qi cultivation or above, so along the way, Jiang Yifan and their team have suffered a lot of casualties.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Yuanyu looked at Wei Yuxi, who was a little pale.

Wei Yuxi shook her head tiredly, the more she walked inside, the stronger and more powerful the demon beasts in the river became, and there were more and more, although the monks of the Xingchen Mercenary Group were very careful to protect her, but she still couldn't dodge some attacks.

"Here, put this on it. Zhao Yuanyu squatted down and put the light talisman on Wei Yuxi's leg.

"And what do you do?"

"It's okay, I have an inkstone, it's not easy for the demon beasts in the river to hurt me. "Inkstone is both offensive and defensive, and he is one of the few people in the entire team who is not injured.

"Look, what's that?"

Suddenly, a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect excitedly pointed at one place and shouted.
