In the evening, the setting sun not only colors the clouds in the sky, but also the earth is reflected in red.

Just when Pepsi Hall was about to close, Xiao An hurried here.

"Senior brother, here are two copies of the spiritual liquid to maintain the Earth Fire Formation. Xiao An said politely to one of the monks inside, and at the same time handed over the token for his mission to protect the earth fire.

"Xinyifeng's earth fire has not been stable recently, and the magma hits Juding a lot more frequently than before. After Xiao An got the supplies, he reported the situation of the earth fire to Pepsitang.

"Alright, I'll record it, and now the same is true for the other two fires. We've already reported it to the sect. "The senior brother in charge of the reception today has a good temper, and he also explained to Xiao An that if he is replaced by another senior brother, although he will record the matter, there is a chance that he will not answer Xiao An.

When Xiao An walked to the door of Pepsi Hall, the servant who was cleaning on the side glanced up at Xiao An, and then continued the matter in hand, but this person turned sideways and turned his back to Xiao An.

If this person didn't turn sideways, Xiao An would definitely find that his cuffs kept bulging, as if some living thing was beating in the long sleeves.

When Xiao An left, the man hastily finished the work in his hand and left in a hurry.

Looking at the buds on the branches on the side of the road, Xiao Anxin sighed that time flies so fast, and it has been three months since he participated in the "escort" of the Xu family.

In these three months, Xiao An first went to Qishifang City to fill in the items needed for refining, and then returned to Duzhixuan for a month, and finally refined the shield.

The materials of this shield are mainly "Hundred Years of Xuan Tortoise Back Armor" and "Heavenly Meteor Iron Essence", which are extremely troublesome to deal with, and it took Xiao An's old nose to refine the array plate, but the quality of this magic weapon is quite good, which makes Xiao An very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, after Xiao An finished refining the magic weapon, his cultivation successfully reached the seventh layer of qi refining, which made Xiao An happy.

Xiao An carried the shield to Qishifang City, wanting to sell it to the Iron Battle Squad, but when he arrived at Fang City, he found that Fang City had been closed, and the notice next to it stated that Fang City had been sold to the Cangyue faction, and it could only be opened again after the inventory and handover.

At that time, the four famous cultivators in Qishifang City are now only the Lin family, and the Lin family is not good at the four Dan Fu Array Weapons, and they can't support the huge Fang City at all. The head of the Lin family was quite decisive, and sold it to the sect before the fang market declined.

And Qishifang City is the only place where Xiao An can contact the Iron Battle Squad, and it can only be handed over to the Iron War Team after Qishifang City opens again.

In desperation, Xiao An had to return to the sect first. Xiao An's luck was good, as soon as he arrived at Pepsi Hall, he caught up with someone to return the task of guarding the earth fire, so Xiao An has been performing this task for the past two months.

Because the task of maintaining the earth fire was only for disciples in the middle stage of qi refining, Xiao An ran the "Qi Hidden Technique" before returning to the sect, and controlled his cultivation at the sixth level of qi refining.

After picking up his things from Pepsi Hall, Xiao An walked briskly to his residence. Xiao An is in a very good mood these days, because the "Fire Alchemy Golden Body" exercise method that has been cultivated for more than a year is progressing faster and faster, and it seems that it will not take too long to cultivate to a small success.

The next day, it was not until noon that Xiao An walked towards the "Juding Cave", which was Xiao An's own name for the cave where the Earth Fire Juding was located.

The entrance to the Juding Cave is located halfway up the Xinyi Peak. When Xiao An was still dozens of feet away from the entrance, he stopped and took out the token to enter the Juding Cave from his arms.

Xiao An injected spiritual power into the token, and it was not until the token emitted a thin light that Xiao An stepped forward.

The prohibition at the entrance of the Juding Cave is not only extremely powerful, but also covers a large area, the place where Xiao An stopped just now is the edge of the prohibition, if you don't activate the token, you will be attacked by the prohibition if you go further.

Although Xiao An is already a late-stage Qi refining cultivator, he can't withstand two or three hits under the attack of this prohibition, and he will give his life here.

When Xiao An walked to a stone wall, he put away the token, and there was no prohibition here.

Because maintaining the earth fire requires a lot of spiritual power for the monk, and the monk is in a state of spiritual exhaustion after coming up from the Juding Cave, the sect does not set a ban within three zhang of the stone gate, and the monk can first adjust the spiritual power in his body before leaving.

There was a stone gate more than one person high on the stone wall, and when Xiao An pressed his hands on the stone door and was about to push hard, he suddenly stopped. On the stone door, there was a trace of smudge about an inch higher than the position of Xiao An's hands, which was extremely faint, and it would not be found at all if you didn't look carefully.

Xiao An took a few steps back and pressed towards the stone gate again. After several times, Xiao An found that the position of the stain was still slightly higher than his palm, which made Xiao Anxin have doubts.

The Juding Cave is one of the most important locations of a sect, and the surrounding prohibitions are extremely complicated, and even a foundation building period monk cannot enter it quietly without a forbidden token.

Thinking of this, Xiao An put his mind at ease, but he still habitually checked all his belongings, and adjusted the items related to the fighting method in the storage bag to the most convenient position to take out.

After tidying up, Xiao An pushed open the stone door and walked towards the fire. When Xiao An stepped on the stone steps, he first looked at the entire cave, and saw that there was no monk in the cave, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this moment, a stream of magma gushed out from the mouth of the Earth Fire Cave and rushed towards the bottom of the Juding, and the spirit patterns on the surface and ground of the Juding lit up again.

At this moment, the hairs on Xiao An's body stood up, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the ground next to the stone steps. At that location, there was no spiritual pattern in a place about the size of a zhang, and in the case of the spiritual pattern lit up all around, this place was like a black spot, which was extremely eye-catching.

Xiao An's spirit became highly tense, and at this time, a sword light suddenly flew out from the black spot and stabbed directly at Xiao An. This sword light appeared extremely abruptly, as if it had been "drilled" out of the void.

Xiao An's figure shook slightly, and he brought up an afterimage, avoided the sword light, and hid towards the center of the cave.

Xiao An stood next to the giant tripod in the center of the crypt and quietly watched a tall monk slowly stand out of the void.

Xiao An's heart sank, the other party actually arranged a phantom array here, if it wasn't for the magma surging in the earth fire just now, he discovered the anomaly in advance, maybe he would be a corpse by now.

The monk was about half a head taller than Xiao An, and the muscles on his body bulged high. Xiao An observed the other party with the Heavenly Eye Technique, it was the peak cultivation of the eighth layer of qi refining, and looking at the surging spiritual power on his body, he should be on the verge of breaking through.

After the other party came out of the phantom array, he was just in time for a surging heat wave, and his nose was a little itchy by this hot air, so he reached out to grab it.

At this moment, Xiao An turned into a phantom and rushed towards the other party, and when he arrived in front of the other party, Xiao An's right hand slapped the person's chest like lightning, and a tidal sound came from Xiao An's hand, which was the "Palm Floating Thousand Heavy Waves" exercise.

Unlike the countless palm shadows cast by Yang Chengye, although Xiao An's palm was also accompanied by the sound of the tide surging, there was no phantom. Facing the cultivators at the peak of the eighth layer of Qi refining, Xiao An did not dare to use the phantom that dispersed his strength.

Xiao An didn't ask why the other party wanted to kill him, the other party quietly passed the prohibition outside, and arranged the phantom array at the earth fire in advance, indicating that the other party was a thoughtful person, and this kind of person would definitely not reveal the real reason.

Moreover, the opponent's cultivation is one level higher than his own, and he must seize every opportunity to attack with all his might, so that he may still have a glimmer of life.

The sturdy monk didn't expect Xiao An to move so fast, and the long sword in his hand swung rapidly, forming a sword net towards Xiao An's palm. Unexpectedly, Xiao An's figure suddenly blurred, and when he reappeared, he was already behind this person, and his palm continued to slap towards the fierce monk.

The fierce monk was in no hurry to take other measures at this time, so he had to wave his left arm violently and hit Xiao An in the chest with his elbow.

Xiao An's palm struck firmly on the arm of the fierce monk, and only to hear the crisp sound of "click", the arm of the fierce monk hung down, and the bones of this arm had been broken into several pieces.

The fierce monk also took advantage of this palm to take a few steps back, Xiao An naturally refused to let go of the other party, and the second palm followed. But the other party had already taken advantage of the time to retreat and release a "token"-shaped magic weapon.

As soon as this magic weapon was sacrificed, it greeted Xiao An's palm, and at the same time, a layer of "Wind Wall Technique" was generated on the surface of the magic weapon.

Xiao An's palm slammed into the "token" magic weapon, and when he heard a muffled sound, he crushed the wind wall technique on the surface of the magic weapon. Although the aura on the surface of the magic weapon fluctuated violently, it still stopped Xiao An's blow.

The burly monk looked at the aura of the token magic weapon, and the corners of his eyes twitched. I thought to myself, my good boy, how can this kid be more fierce than me. Although this token magic weapon is made of spirit wood and has poor defensive ability, the wind wall technique released on the surface of the magic weapon is a real eight-layer qi refining spell, but it was defeated by the opponent's palm.

Who collected this person's information, and he must repair the other party after he goes back, this kid is obviously a seventh-level Qi refining cultivator, but it is written in the intelligence that it is a sixth-level Qi refining layer.

It turned out that Xiao An's Qi Concealment Technique, which was running all the time, lost its effect when he shot with all his strength just now.

Xiao An swung out the third palm in one go, looking at this powerful third palm, the fierce monk didn't dare to let the token magic weapon block it, and hurriedly danced the long sword in his hand into a ball-shaped sword qi, facing Xiao An's palm.

Xiao An naturally refused to use his palm to shake the opponent's long sword, and released the thunder and lightning that had been prepared with his left hand, flying towards the fierce monk.

Unexpectedly, the thunderbolt that had repeatedly performed miraculous feats lost its level this time, turned and flew towards the tip of the opponent's sword, and the powerful thunderbolt only flashed a few times at the tip of the opponent's sword, and was swallowed by the long sword.

After absorbing the thunder and lightning, the surface of the fierce monk's long sword emitted a subtle thunder light, and the long sword was not only not damaged, but more like absorbing the thunder and lightning to refine the sword body.

Seeing that several waves of his attacks were blocked by the other party, Xiao An hurriedly retreated.

And the fierce monk also took the opportunity to deal with the injury on his arm. At this time, the position of the two had changed, the sturdy monk was leaning against the giant ding at this time, and Xiao An was next to the phantom array.

Facing this cultivator at the peak of the eighth layer of qi refining, Xiao An didn't dare to leave behind, and at the beginning, he used the three exercises of chasing light and shadow, palm floating thousand heavy waves, and heavenly thunder condensation alchemy, but only palm floating thousand heavy waves achieved some results.

Xiao Anxin sighed, his cultivation of "Palm Drifting Thousand Heavy Waves" was still short, and he could only swing three palms so far. Although the power was many times greater than in Yang Chengye's hands, it only broke through the monk's protective spiritual power and discounted his arm bones.

If he could send out two more palms, he would be able to kill this eighth-level Qi refining cultivator. And in the introduction of this exercise, if you can really practice to the fullest and send out thousands of palms, how powerful it is, Xiao An couldn't help but think in his heart.

And the palm thunder not only did not hurt the other party, but improved the quality of the opponent's long sword. Xiao An took a closer look at the other party's long sword, only to see that this long sword was actually made of spirit wood, and it was made of thunder wood.

Although this spirit wood itself is relatively fragile, it has the property of absorbing thunder and lightning, and the palm thunder that he just cast not only cannot cause damage to it, but instead improves the quality of the spirit wood.

Palm Thunder is one of the attack spells that come with the Heavenly Thunder Condensation Technique, and it is also Xiao An who has only practiced this spell since he practiced this technique.

In the next fighting method, if you cast the palm thunder again, you will be greatly restricted, otherwise you will "feed" the opponent's long sword.

Is it a coincidence that the other party has this magic weapon, or is it a preparation for their own exercises?

Xiao An hurriedly glanced at the other party's token magic weapon and found that this magic weapon was actually made of spirit wood. Xiao Anxin chuckled, the other party must have known that he knew that he would know the thunder attribute exercises, so he prepared the magic weapon in a targeted manner.
