During this trip to the Snow Mountain, Qiao Yuan not only absorbed a large amount of Death Qi, but also obtained icicles and Xuan Ice Beads obtained by accident, and the harvest was extremely great.

After Qiao Yuan left the Space Bead, he directly galloped towards the Cold Flame Valley, his face was filled with the joy of harvest along the way.

After all, with Xuan Bingzhu and icicles, he would not have to consider the source of the extremely evil qi in the future, and he could use the Evil Wind Finger almost without any scruples, so that his combat power would at least double.

Before dark, Qiao Yuan rushed back to the Cold Flame Valley, and as soon as he entered the valley, he saw Ling Wanchen, who was wearing a red long dress, standing on a boulder, staring in the direction of the valley mouth, like a virtuous wife waiting for her husband to come home, her eyes were full of anticipation.

"Wanchen, didn't I explain it all in the jade slip? ”

A warmth surged in Qiao Yuan's heart, and he quickly came to the front of Ling Wanchen and said softly.

He is an orphan, he has not had the love of his parents since he was a child, and he has never experienced this feeling of someone waiting for him to come home, which makes him very warm and touched.

"Yu Jianzhong didn't tell you how many days you have to go, you will go for three days, so how can I not worry. ”

Ling Wanchen glanced at Qiao Yuan and said coquettishly.

Qiao Yuan took Ling Wanchen's jade hand and said softly as he walked towards his residence.

"Time is running out in this Frost Valley, didn't I think I could absorb some more deathly energy? ”

Ling Wanchen chuckled and said, "What's the matter, is this trip going well?"

Qiao Yuan nodded and didn't speak, but his expression revealed a sense of pride.

The two returned to the bamboo house, Qiao Yuan took out the moon swallowing pot and the three-star cup to make a pot of tea, and told Ling Wanchen about the underground of the snow mountain.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the mysterious demon beast, firstly, because he was afraid that Ling Wanchen would be worried, and secondly, because this matter involved Yue Wuxi.

After the two of them finished drinking tea, Qiao Yuan left the bamboo house and went to the top of the mountain to practice the Qingyue Heart Sutra again.

Tonight is the night of the full moon, and the sky is cloudless, and the white moonlight reflects the whole cold valley.

Qiao Yuan sat cross-legged on the boulder, looked up at the full moon, and his mind slowly calmed down.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, his mind sank into his body, and the spiritual power in his body began to operate in the manner of the Qingyue Heart Sutra.

Not long after, a layer of hazy moon-white light appeared outside Qiao Yuan's body, this light was weak at first, but with the passage of time, this light gradually brightened.

In the blink of an eye, it was two hours, and at this moment, the light on Qiao Yuan's body was already extremely strong, and in the distance it looked like the bright moon on the ground, echoing the bright moon in the sky.

Because the light on Qiao Yuan's body was too bright, as long as someone walked out of the cave, they would be able to notice Qiao Yuan, but ordinary people would not go over to disturb when they saw it, after all, approaching others while they were cultivating, it was easy to attract the hostility of cultivators.

But when one person saw this scene, he had evil intentions in his heart, and this person was Du Gao.

Since this Du Gao was defeated by Qiao Yuan, he was always thinking about how to retaliate against Qiao Yuan, and under his constant attention, Du Gao discovered a scene of Qiao Yuan's cultivation.

At this moment, Du Gao was standing under a big tree, and the lush branches and leaves of the big tree blocked his figure, but his eyes could penetrate these branches and leaves, and see Qiao Yuan on the top of the mountain like a bright moon.

"What kind of exercises is he practicing? It's so weird. ”

Du Gao's eyes showed a cold color, staring at Qiao Yuan deadly, and whispered to himself.

This night, Du Gao always stood here to observe Qiao Yuan, he was cautious by nature, and he would not make a move without absolute certainty.

At dawn, Qiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, a dazzling light suddenly came out of his eyes, as if he had absorbed all the moonlight of the night and condensed it into his eyes.

"After only two nights of cultivation, I felt that my divine consciousness had increased, and this exercise was really extraordinary. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Qiao Yuan's mouth and he muttered softly.

In two nights, if you change any of the exercises, you won't have such a quick effect, let alone the basic exercises of the moon without a trace.

And the reason why Qiao Yuan achieved his achievements so quickly was because he was the inheritor.

The so-called inheritor did not just get the Moon Without a Trace technique and some memories and resources, but also some things that Qiao Yuan had not discovered.

And these things will allow Qiao Yuan to achieve the effect of smooth sailing when cultivating the Qingyue Heart Sutra.

If Qiao Yuan taught this Qingyue Heart Sutra to others, then this person would not say whether he could understand the Qingyue Heart Sutra, his cultivation would definitely not be as easy as Qiao Yuan's, and it would take at least a month of cultivation to reach Qiao Yuan's level.

Qiao Yuan naturally didn't know about this, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that this was a basic exercise, and it should be easy to get started, but it would be more difficult to cultivate to the end or consummation.

The truth is indeed as he thought, but this ease of entry is only relative to Qiao Yuan, and it is not easy to change to a non-moon traceless inheritor.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and Qiao Yuan did not leave here, but sat here and began to study the prohibition.

Although his forbidden cultivation skills have improved a lot, he is still a lot worse than his cultivation, and he is still a little short of the second-level formation master.

"When I have a thorough understanding of the basic forbidden formations on this formation, I should be able to arrange some second-level formations. ”

Qiao Yuan turned over his hand and took out a hexagonal array disk, which he used to imprint the maze formation in the maze, and a large number of formation traces were imprinted on it, and these traces were all from the maze formation.

Qiao Yuan's hands were trayed, his divine sense spread out, and he landed on the array plate, his eyes flashed with the light of deduction and calculation, and his mind was extremely concentrated, and from time to time he would put down the array plate, and pinched out the seal with both hands, as if he was trying to arrange some formation corners.

Na Du Gao left at dawn, but he only changed to a more secluded place to observe Qiao Yuan.

Time flickered, Qiao Yuan sat on the top of the mountain for three days, these three days he studied the array disk during the day, and cultivated the Qingyue Heart Sutra at night, and the harvest was great.

During this period, Ling Wanchen had been there three times, but when she saw that Qiao Yuan's mind was extremely focused, she did not step forward to disturb, but silently guarded on the side.

Tang Li, Lin Wantian, and Xie Feiyu also knew that Qiao Yuan was cultivating there, but they didn't bother, but watched from a distance and returned to the cave.

Qu Yunwei and Bai Lizhen also knew that Qiao Yuan was cultivating on the top of the mountain, but both of them were just watching from the gate of the cave and had no intention of disturbing.

As time passed, more and more people knew that Qiao Yuan was studying the forbidden formation on the top of the mountain during the day, and he would practice an extremely strange technique at night.

These people had different thoughts, Zhang Qian, Junfeng, and Jiang Quan had all watched Qiao Yuan's cultivation at night, but the three of them only showed surprise, and then they went back to cultivate.

Du Gao was the only one, he always observed Qiao Yuan in the dark, like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, once he found the right time, he would launch the most fatal blow.

The time finally came to the sixth night, which was the last night of Qiao Yuan's cultivation in the Cold Flame Valley.

Qiao Yuan didn't have too many thoughts, he had gained a lot in the Cold Flame Valley, and there was nothing to be nostalgic about at the moment, if there was, it was the secret hidden here, but with his cultivation, it was impossible to explore the secret.

On this last night, Qiao Yuan cultivated the Qingyue Heart Sutra as usual.

One hour, three hours, and five hours in the blink of an eye, when it was close to dawn, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt that the warning and prohibition he had arranged had been triggered.

But at this moment, his cultivation is at a critical moment, and it will take more than ten breaths to get out of the cultivation state, and more than ten breaths of time, I am afraid that the person who triggered the prohibition can already launch more than ten attacks on him.

"Fight!"

Qiao Yuan secretly said in his heart, he knew that forcibly leaving the cultivation state at this moment would cause a lot of injuries to his body, but Qiao Yuan couldn't care about it so much.

However, just as he was about to retract his mind and leave his cultivation state, Qiao Yuan heard a terrible scream, and then he felt that the light on his body dissipated in an instant, and the power of moonlight in his body also poured out of his body.

Because of the outpouring of moonlight power, Qiao Yuan naturally withdrew from the cultivation state, and then he opened his eyes suddenly, with a cold light flickering in his eyes, and turned to look behind.

It was a person whose whole body was shrouded in a black robe, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't see his figure clearly, even if Qiao Yuan poked out his divine sense, he would be blocked by the black robe, obviously this black-robed person had already prepared.

"Who are you, who dare to attack me while I am cultivating. ”

Qiao Yuan stared at the black-robed man and shouted coldly.

The black-robed man covered his face with his hands, and his mouth kept letting out a low roar, as if his face had been hurt by something, which made him very painful.

Qiao Yuan didn't make a direct move, but carefully observed the actions of the black-robed man on the side, wanting to see who this person was.

The reason why he dared to cultivate on the top of this mountain, and only laid out a few warning prohibitions, and did not arrange defensive prohibitions, was mainly because Qiao Yuan could withdraw from the cultivation state at any time while cultivating.

It's just that there is a period of time every night, and he is at a critical moment in his cultivation, and he can't quit his cultivation state instantly.

This time period is only known to Qiao Yuan, and it is difficult for others to know, and this black-robed man happened to come to sneak attack during this time period, obviously this black-robed man knew that Qiao Yuan could not exit the cultivation state in an instant.

"This man must have been secretly observing me for a long time, otherwise he would never have known about this crucial point in time. ”

Qiao Yuan's expression was extremely gloomy, and he said secretly in his heart.

After speaking, he directly waved his right hand, and the Fengyuan Sword appeared in his hand, without the slightest hesitation, his spiritual power directly ran wildly, surging towards the Fengyuan Sword, and then he slashed towards the black-robed man.

As soon as he makes a move, Qiao Yuan will never show mercy to his own killers, let alone be merciful to this kind of sneak attacker, as for who this black-robed man is, he doesn't care anymore, because no matter who it is, Qiao Yuan will kill him.

With a sword slash down, the black-robed man hurriedly took out a black bead and threw it towards Qiao Yuan, the bead was difficult to stop Qiao Yuan's Fengyuan Sword at all, and was directly split by a sword.

The bead burst open, and in an instant, a black mist spread, this mist was extremely thick, and there was a strange power of stagnant divine consciousness, so that Qiao Yuan could not see clearly ahead, nor could he exude his divine sense too far.

Qiao Yuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly turned on the eight wind cyclones, and rushed out of the range shrouded in black fog in an instant, but when he looked around, the black-robed man had disappeared, but he found a pool of bright red blood not far away.
