A moment later, Lu Chen raised his legs and stepped into the mountain range.

It's just that what makes him feel extremely strange is that this place is extremely quiet, and in his opinion, even if there are no spirit beasts on the edge of this mountain range, there should be many demon beasts living in it.

After walking thousands of zhang, Lu Chen entered a dense forest, full of towering trees with a diameter of several zhang wide.

Half a day later, Lu Chen finally saw some demon beasts that had not yet opened their minds, but after sensing Lu Chen's powerful aura fluctuations, they flew away.

At this moment, it was already evening, and the sky was getting dark, so Lu Chen decided to rest for one night, and continue to move forward early tomorrow morning.

Picked up a pile of firewood, made a flame, and after the bonfire was lit, Lu Chenpan sat aside and meditated and rested.

Early the next morning, Lu Chen continued to move forward, although he saw some first-order and second-order spirit beasts, but the careful Lu Chen found that these spirit beasts were in a trance, and they seemed to be greatly frightened.

A few days later, Lu Chen finally walked out of this forest, and in the mountains not far ahead, a few strong breaths faintly appeared, and Lu Chen quietly walked up.

Thousands of zhang away, Lu Chen saw a girl in an emerald green dress fighting against two black bears about thirty feet tall.

Although the two giant bears attacked left and right, with tacit understanding, this girl was at ease.

Lu Chen's pupils shrank, these two black bears were both third-order spirit beasts, and the combined strength of the two was at least equivalent to three or four human combined Great Perfection realm cultivators, but the two bears were not the opponents of the girl, which showed the strength of the girl.

Gradually, the injuries on the two black bears became more and more serious, and black and red blood kept flowing from the wounds.

The two bears roared angrily, and used their last strength to slam into the girl.

The girl deftly dodged the blow, and shot out two green rays of light with her backhand, which turned out to be two dark green feathers.

Only two terrible screams were heard, and a bloody hole appeared in the chest of the two black bears.

Immediately, with a bang, the black bear's huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

After doing all this, the girl turned and left.

Lu Chen saw that the girl was not interested in the black bear's beast pill, beast blood and animal skin, so he said to the girl, "This girl, I don't know if you can give up the things on the black bear?"

The girl said, "You human monks, it's just not direct enough, you can take it yourself if you want it." ”

A puzzle flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, could it be that this girl was a spirit beast, but he quickly denied this idea, you know, even if it is a ninth-order peak spirit beast, it is difficult to transform into a human.

Lu Chen arched his hand and said, "Then thank you girl!"

After speaking, Lu Chen took out the Jiuyang Xuantie Sword and walked towards the black bear corpse.

When Lu Chen walked a few feet in front of the girl, the girl saw Lu Chen's appearance clearly.

At this time, her eyes were full of extreme shock, isn't this her savior, he has also flown to the spirit realm? No wonder after the other party approached, she gave herself a very cordial feeling.

This girl is none other than the peacock demon who was rescued by Lu Chen when she was in the mortal world.

The place where the peacock demon flew to the spirit realm happened to be the Dongqi Mountain Range, so over the years, she had been cultivating here, the girl had noble bloodlines, talents, and extremely fast improvement, and it only took more than ten years to cultivate to the peak realm of the third-order spirit beast.

In order to step up her breakthrough cultivation, the girl thought of stimulating her potential through life-and-death battles, and in the past month, she has been constantly challenging spirit beasts outside the central area of the mountain range.

Everywhere she went, all the first-order and second-order spirit beasts ran away, while the third-order spirit beasts, some of them were timid and hid far away, while some were not convinced, and in the end, they were either beaten up and obeyed, or lost their lives.

Today, these two black bears, the girl didn't want their lives, it was the black bear that attacked first, which completely annoyed the girl.

A moment later, Lu Chen had already put away the beast pill, beast blood, and bear skin, and then a fire spirit technique was struck, and the corpses of the two black bears were instantly turned to ashes.

Lu Chen only noticed the girl's appearance at this moment, she was so beautiful, it was no exaggeration to say that she was on par with Xi Wanyi and her five Taoist couples, and like Luo Ling'er, the whole person exuded an indescribable noble temperament.

The girl asked, "Hey, what's your name?"

Lu Chen said, "Under Lu Chen, a disciple of the Ziwei Sect, dare to ask the girl's name?"

The girl said, "My name is Jiang Yan, by the way, what are you doing in the Dongqi Mountains?"

Lu Chen said, "I'm here to find some fourth-order ink bamboos, dare to ask Miss Jiang where they are?"

Seeing Lu Chen staring at her, the girl's cheeks flushed, and she said, "In the future, it's good if you call me Jiang Yan, the fourth-order ink bamboo you said is in the territory of a fourth-order spirit beast, I can take you there." ”

When Lu Chen heard this, his face showed joy, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Three days later, Lu Chen and Jiang Yan finally arrived in this valley, and the valley was full of high-grade spiritual grass and elixirs.

Jiang Yan said, "The fourth-order ink bamboo is in the depths of the valley, let's go in!"

The two had just left

Dozens of steps, a strong aura instantly appeared in front of Lu Chen and Jiang Yan.

Lu Chen looked up and saw that it was a white spirit tiger, about thirty zhang tall and large.

When he saw Lu Chen, the fourth-order spirit tiger's eyes were murderous.

But when he saw Jiang Yan, the white tiger instinctively showed a hint of fear, which was precisely why the bloodline was suppressed.

The white tiger roared angrily, obviously very angry at Lu Chen and Jiang Yan for invading its territory, if it weren't for the identity of the girl, the white tiger would have pounced on it at this moment and dismantled Lu Chen.

Jiang Yan said, "White Tiger, listen, I'm not here to grab your territory, nor to fight with you, you just need to let me go into the valley to find some fourth-order ink bamboo." ”

The white tiger seemed to understand Jiang Yan's words, nodded his head, and got out of the way.

Jiang Yan showed a satisfied smile and said, "Lu Chen, let's go in!"

After a while, the two finally saw a large piece of ink bamboo.

From a distance, this ink bamboo forest is lush and green, overlapping and overlapping.

Jiang Yan looked at Lu Chen with interest, she wanted to see how many ink bamboos Lu Chen could cut, even if it was her, it would take a lot of trouble to break one ink bamboo.

Lu Chen walked in front of an ink bamboo, took out the Jiuyang Xuantie Sword, and a sword fell, leaving only a faint sword mark on the ink bamboo.

Lu Chen didn't expect the material of the ink bamboo to be so tough, which was completely unexpected to him.

At this moment, Lu Chen took out the broken sword, and he had a faint feeling that only this sword could help him complete the task.

Sure enough, as soon as the black broken sword touched Mo Zhu, Mo Zhu was broken into two at once.

Jiang Yan's eyes showed a look of shock, what kind of divine weapon was the broken sword in Lu Chen's hand, although there was no spiritual power fluctuation, it was so sharp.

Soon, Lu Chen cut down ten ink bamboos, and at this moment, Lu Chen found that in the deepest part of the ink bamboo forest, there was an ink bamboo, the color was unusually dark green, he asked the girl for advice, "Jiang Yan, look at how that ink bamboo looks so different." ”

Jiang Yan said with a smile, "This ink bamboo is much older than other ink bamboos, it is a fifth-order ink bamboo that has grown for tens of thousands of years, if there is a refining master to help, it is completely possible to refine a fifth-order spirit sword." ”

When Lu Chen heard this, his eyes showed a bit of heat, and without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward and cut off this fifth-order ink bamboo and put it into the storage ring.

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Lu Chen, your luck is really good. ”

Then the two left the valley.

Now that the task has been completed, Lu Chen decided to return to the sect, he was just about to say goodbye to Jiang Yan, but he didn't expect the other party to take the lead in speaking, "Lu Chen, in a few days, I will try to challenge the fourth-order spirit beast, can you protect the Dharma for me on the side?"

In fact, Jiang Yan just wanted Lu Chen to accompany her for a while, she was full of gratitude to Lu Chen, if he hadn't made a move, she might have fallen under the thunderstorm.

It was also from that day that she had a trace of inexplicable feelings for Lu Chen, she thought that she had forgotten Lu Chen, a human monk in the mortal world, after flying to the spirit world, the moment she saw Lu Chen again, she knew that she had never forgotten Lu Chen.

Jiang Yan helped Lu Chen a lot, since the girl spoke, although Lu Chen was in a hurry to return to the sect to resume his life, he still agreed, which made Jiang Yan very happy.

Lu Chen couldn't say why, this girl named Jiang Yan always gave him a familiar feeling, but after thinking about it, he didn't remember where he had seen her.

The next day, the two walked towards a mountain peak, and suddenly, there was a roar from the top of the mountain, and suddenly two black eagles flew out, turning into two black rainbows and heading straight for Lu Chen and Jiang Yan.

Its speed was so fast that it didn't give the two of them time to react at all, and Lu Chen and Jiang Yan were knocked hundreds of feet away at once.

The huge impact force caused Lu Chen to suffer a lot of injuries all of a sudden, and a large mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, while Jiang Yan was slightly better, but there was also a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Yan showed a solemn look on her face and said, "Lu Chen, we are in trouble, this is a spirit beast of the fourth-order peak realm. ”

Lu Chen nodded, and also felt that the situation was very critical.

The two of them quickly got up and exploded with all their strength.

Then, there was another roar in the air, and the two black eagles circled in mid-air before charging again.

As the black mangs surged, the two black eagles continued to attack the two of them in a roar, and Lu Chen's injuries became more and more serious.

Although Lu Chen gave himself and Jiang Yan dozens of drops of blue water spirit pulp, the other party's size was too large, and coupled with the gap in the realm, the two could only passively defend.

At this moment, the third black eagle flew out silently, its speed was too fast, and in a blink of an eye, it hit Lu Chen's approach, and under this impact, all the bones in Lu Chen's body were shattered, and he felt that his body was about to collapse.

Before he could summon the slightest distraction given to him by Meng Ruyun, the Great Elder of the Ruthless Sect, Lu Chen passed out.

Jiang Yan saw that Lu Chen was seriously injured and fell to the ground, her pretty face was full of anger, and she snorted, and directly appeared her body.

I saw a dark green peacock with a body of more than 100 zhang suddenly appear in the air.

It turned out that at this critical juncture of life and death, the peacock demon finally broke through the barrier and became a fourth-order spirit beast.

Although Jiang Yan had just broken through, due to the nobility of her bloodline, her true strength was comparable to that of an ordinary fifth-order spirit beast.

As the peacock's body exuded a burst of majestic coercion, under the suppression of this bloodline, the three black giant eagles that had just been invincible trembled at this moment, and without the slightest hesitation, the three black eagles hurriedly fled separately.

I saw a screaming sound, and the peacock chased after the nearest black eagle like lightning, and in an instant, the two spirit beasts quickly approached, and then collided together frantically.

Under the huge impact, this black eagle slammed, flesh and blood flew sideways, and fell to the ground fiercely, and its vitality gradually disappeared.

The other two black eagles heard the roaring crash behind them, and their hearts sank, and they accelerated their speed.

I saw a flash of green light, and the peacock hissed and chased after the other two black eagles.

A moment later, the two black eagles were easily killed by Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan put away the spirit beast Zhen's body, hurriedly supported Lu Chen, found a secluded cave, and began to heal Lu Chen's injuries.

Jiang Yan crushed the three Black Eagle Beast Pills one by one and stuffed them into Lu Chen's mouth.

These three black eagles were all fourth-order peak spirit beasts, and their beast pills contained such a huge amount of spiritual power.

Under the nourishment of a steady stream of spiritual power, Lu Chen's injuries recovered quickly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

A majestic spiritual power instantly filled Lu Chen's body.

This spiritual power was so huge that Lu Chen's body couldn't bear it at all, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth and nose, and Jiang Yan also panicked, she didn't expect such a situation to happen at all.

Jiang Yan stretched out her slender hand, helped Lu Chen up, formed her hands into palms, and pressed them on Lu Chen's back to help Lu Chen use her spiritual power.

Under Jiang Yan's guidance, the spiritual power in Lu Chen's body quickly formed a cycle, and this huge spiritual power continued to baptize the flesh and bones of Lu Chen's body.

Time passed, and the three Black Eagle Beast Pills had completely dried up, and all the energy contained in them had been absorbed by Lu Chen.

During this time, Jiang Yan was afraid that Lu Chen would have an accident, so she kept guarding him every step of the way.

Under the baptism of spiritual power, Lu Chen's bones became tougher, and the meridians in his body became thicker.

On this day, after sensing the changes in Lu Chen's body, Jiang Yan's eyes showed a hint of joy, and she said to herself, "Lu Chen, this is a breakthrough to the realm of the Great Perfection of Integration." ”

After saying that, the worries were gone, and as soon as Jiang Yan's mind relaxed, she leaned on Lu Chen's back and fell asleep.

On this day, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a dazzling light like stars flashed in his eyes, and his mind was clear.

Just when Lu Chen was about to get up, he found that he was leaning against a woman behind him, needless to say, it must be Jiang Yan.

After some inward looking, Lu Chen's eyes showed an unbelievable shock, when did he cultivate to the realm of the Great Perfection of Integration.

At this time, Jiang Yan also woke up, and she said apologetically to Lu Chen, "I'm sorry, I was too sleepy just now, so I fell asleep." ”

Seeing that Jiang Yanmei's eyes were full of bloodshots, Lu Chen still didn't understand that the girl in front of him had been guarding him all this time, and it was definitely the other party's credit that he was able to break through his cultivation.

Lu Chen looked at the girl and said, "Jiang Yan, thank you for saving me!"

The girl blurted out, "Thank you, you saved me!"

Lu Chen looked at the girl suspiciously, and asked, "I saved you?"

Jiang Yan didn't want Lu Chen to know her identity at the moment, so she hurriedly said, "If you hadn't blocked the attack of the third black eagle, the two of us might have died at this moment, so I said, you also saved me." ”

Lu Chen nodded and asked, "It's so strange, how did my cultivation break through?"

Jiang Yan said, "At that time, you fainted, and I was in a hurry, so I crushed the beast pill of the three-headed black eagle and let you take it, but I didn't expect that it not only cured your injuries, but also helped you break through." ”

A hint of emotion flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he asked, "How long have I been in a coma this time?"

Jiang Yan said, "I haven't calculated it carefully, it's probably two months!"

When Lu Chen heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Jiang Yan, I have to rush back to Ziwei Sect to participate in the sect competition." ”

A trace of reluctance flashed in Jiang Yanmei's eyes.

At this time, Lu Chen asked, "Jiang Yan, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to cultivate here alone, which sect are you a disciple?"

Jiang Yan said, "I am a casual cultivator, and I have nowhere to go, so I can only stay here and cultivate all the time. ”

Lu Chen felt that the girl was too pitiful in his heart, and he said, "Why don't you go to the Ziwei Sect with me, a young cultivator like you, the high-level of our sect will definitely rush to accept you as an apprentice." ”

When Jiang Yan heard this, Lu Chen was willing to take her back to the sect, and two shallow dimples were revealed on her delicate face, which was indescribably pure and moving.

Immediately, the two of them walked out of the cave, turned into two long rainbows, and galloped towards the direction of the Ziwei Sect.
