Qiao Yuan stood quietly on the edge of the ice lake, not knowing what he was thinking, when suddenly a familiar woman's voice sounded in his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

"Thank you last time. ”

A smile appeared on Qiao Yuan's face, turned to look at a tall woman more than ten feet away, and said softly.

"I happened to meet, it's just a gesture, no thanks. ”

That woman was Ling Wanchen, with a complicated look in her eyes, she slowly walked to Qiao Yuan's side, did not speak, but stood quietly aside, watching the scene of the ice lake rapidly turning into a hot lake.

Qiao Yuan didn't speak, and also looked at the lake.

After being silent for a while, Qiao Yuan still spoke, his expression was full of apologies, and he looked at Ling Wanchen with great sincerity and said.

"I'm sorry, I have a reason why I had to win, I hope you can understand it, and I hope you can forgive me. ”

Ling Wanchen didn't seem to hear Qiao Yuan's words, she still looked at the lake quietly, but the complexity and entanglement in her beautiful eyes had already exposed her inner turmoil at the moment, and after being silent for a long time, she turned her head to look at Qiao Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and unexpectedly asked a rather strange question.

"Where is your hometown?"

When Qiao Yuan heard Ling Wanchen's words, he was stunned for a moment, his face showed surprise, but after a pause, he still replied.

"Qingfeng Mountain, Qingfeng Village. ”

Saying that, his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, thinking of everything in Qingfeng Mountain, thinking of the people of Qingfeng Village, Xiao Fengqing, Xiao Qingxuan, Tie Mo and so on.

Ling Wanchen saw the look of remembrance in Qiao Yuan's eyes, she showed a bitter smile on her face, and did not speak again.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Qiao Yuan came back to his senses and saw the bitterness on Ling Wanchen's face, and there was a faint guess in his heart, and he asked softly.

"Nothing, just remembering something. ”

When Ling Wanchen heard Qiao Yuan's words, she immediately put away the bitterness on her face, raised her jade hand and pulled a wisp of green silk from her forehead behind her ear, and said softly.

Qiao Yuan naturally didn't believe her words, but she didn't want to say more, so Qiao Yuan didn't ask anymore.

"You...... Can you do me a favor?"

Ling Wanchen looked at Qiao Yuan with a hesitant expression, and said slowly.

"What's the busy?"

Qiao Yuan said as usual, but it was quite strange in his heart, Ling Wanchen today was extremely different from the Ling Wanchen he knew, as if he was a different person.

"Now is not the time to tell you. ”

Ling Wanchen's expression was extremely complicated, she glanced at Qiao Yuan deeply, and said softly, after saying that, she turned around and walked into the distance.

Qiao Yuan looked at Ling Wanchen's departing back, and suddenly felt that this woman was so weak and lonely, as if the Ling Wanchen he knew before was only one side of her, and now he looked at the other side of Ling Wanchen.

Qiao Yuan was silent, always feeling that there was something in Ling Wanchen's heart, but Ling Wanchen didn't say anything, and he didn't bother to ask, until he saw Ling Wanchen disappear into the distance, he turned around and walked towards his residence.

Back at the cabin, Qiao Yuan suppressed the thoughts in his heart and devoted his mind to refining the death and cold qi.

The method of absorbing and refining the extremely evil qi is recorded in the Evil Wind Finger formula, Qiao Yuan has long remembered that the melon is ripe, and there is no need to think about it at this moment, he pinched out the seal recipe with both hands, and quickly connected the points in his abdomen, and at the same time, the spiritual power in his dantian rolled, and immediately set off a monstrous wave.

And under the huge waves, there was a gray tobacco and a blue tobacco that were writhing violently, the blue tobacco was much longer than the gray tobacco, and every time it writhed, it could set off a huge wave of spiritual power lake, but it could never rush out of the lake.

This blue smoke is the cold and evil qi, and the gray smoke is the death of the evil qi, these two extremely evil qi are suppressed in the spiritual power lake, and Qiao Yuan needs to constantly crush and polish it with the huge waves of spiritual power to refine it little by little, and finally use it for him.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and Qiao Yuan took out a set of seals with both hands again, pressed them on his abdomen, and calmed the huge waves in the dantian in a special way.

Refining the Extremely Evil Qi is not a day's work, it needs to be accumulated day after day, it takes two hours a day, and the rest of the time, he also needs to condense spiritual power, open up the meridians, and study the forbidden formation.

As usual, after Qiao Yuan adjusted his state, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and suddenly the spiritual power of Yanhu in the air surged towards him, and he was inhaled into his body in one gulp, and began to condense his spiritual power.

Because the evil wind pointed out that he had already cultivated to a small level, and if he wanted to achieve anything more, he had to integrate into the extremely evil qi, so he put down the cultivation of the evil wind finger, and in addition to the cultivation of condensing spiritual power every day, he was studying the forbidden formation and refining the extremely evil qi.

Time passed slowly under such a compact cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, it was twenty days, and in these twenty days, except for going to Yanhu Lake every day, Qiao Yuan had hardly been to other places, and had been staying in the cabin to seize the time to cultivate.

Of course, the harvest of these twenty days is extremely great, the spiritual power has been condensed a lot again, the newly opened meridians are almost the same as his natural meridians, and his forbidden manufacturing attainment has improved a lot, and the mixed prohibition can now be arranged as he likes, I believe that in another month, Qiao Yuan can become a second-level formation master.

However, the most important thing and what made Qiao Yuan most excited was that the cold and evil qi had already been refined by a small half, and the death evil qi had also been refined by most of it, and he estimated that it would not take a few days to completely refine it.

At the same time, Yuan Kong, an old man surnamed Yuan, who was cultivating cross-legged in the depths of the Yan Lake in the Cold Flame Valley, suddenly received a jade slip that flew from nowhere, he took the jade slip, his consciousness swept away, his expression changed suddenly, he looked up into the distance and muttered softly.

"Who does the ancestor want to open the land of inheritance? The people of the Baili clan are still the female baby, or the junior named Qiao Yuan. ”

After thinking for a moment, he sighed lightly, shook his head, looked in the direction of the snow mountain, and whispered.

"That's it, let's open it, this generation does have a lot of highly qualified juniors, but I don't know how the one under the snowy mountain will feel?"

After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and sent out a divine thought towards everyone in the Cold Flame Valley.

"Ten days later, the Cold Flame Valley will open the place of inheritance trials, and if there is a chance, you can enter it to obtain the inheritance of the ancestors of the Moon River Sect. ”

When this divine thought came out, Yuan Kong pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the direction of the valley where Da Bai and Xiao Bai were outside the Cold Flame Valley, and told them the news as well, and let them enter it after ten days.

All of a sudden, the silent Cold Flame Valley suddenly became lively, and almost everyone walked out of the cave and gathered together to discuss what this place of inheritance trials was.

When Qiao Yuan heard this transmission, his expression immediately changed, and his face showed a look of doubt, he had never heard of the inheritance of the place of trials.

After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked out of the cabin, he guessed that this transmission should not be directed at him alone, but at everyone, in this case, these people may have people who know about this place of inheritance and trial.

As soon as he walked out of the forbidden area he had arranged, he saw Tang Li, Xie Feiyu, and Lin Wantian who had just walked out of the cave, all of whom looked puzzled, and obviously didn't know the place of inheritance trials.

After a few people talked, they confirmed what Qiao Yuan thought in his heart, they had indeed heard the transmission, and they had never heard of the place of inheritance trials.

In desperation, the four of them walked towards other places again, they saw Junfeng, Zhang Qian, Jiang Quan and many others, but none of them had heard of any inheritance trials in the Cold Flame Valley.

Qu Yunwei also walked out of the cave, her expression was still cold, but when she saw Qiao Yuan, her eyes gradually softened.

"Miss Qu, do you know what the place of inheritance trials is?"

Qiao Yuan saw Qu Yunwei standing alone under a big tree not far away, a gentle smile appeared on his face, he walked over quickly, and asked softly.

Tang Li, Xie Feiyu, and Lin Wantian wanted to follow, but seeing the kind of cold meaning emanating from Qu Yunwei's body, they couldn't help but pause, stopped a few feet away, and looked at Qiao Yuan with admiration.

"I know a little bit, it seems to be a cemetery left by the ancestors of the Yuehe Sect who naturally returned to the ruins in the past dynasties, saying that it is a cemetery, but in fact, it is leaving a inheritance system, but these inheritance systems cannot be obtained unless they are destined, and I don't know much about the specific situation. ”

Qu Yunwei nodded, looked at Qiao Yuan with a serious expression and said slowly.

When Qiao Yuan heard this, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes, but in an instant, he showed doubts, and he asked again.

"Since it is a place of inheritance, why don't most of the disciples know about it, and they have never heard of a land of inheritance in the Cold Flame Valley before?"

"I don't know about this matter, even this bit of news was told to me a few days before entering the Cold Flame Valley, he once said that the Cold Flame Valley may open the inheritance land this time, and told me to go in to find an opportunity, about other things in the inheritance land, he never said much, it seems to be evasive. ”

Qu Yunwei did not hide it, and told Qiao Yuan everything she knew, in her opinion, Qiao Yuan was her only friend, worthy of her trust, and these things were not important secrets, he believed that on the day the inheritance land opened, Yuan Kong would also tell everyone.

Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a deep expression, nodded, and didn't ask any more, he could feel Qu Yunwei's sincerity, since this matter was not clear to everyone, there was no need to ask again, everything would be revealed in ten days.

Qiao Yuan and Qu Yunwei chatted a few more words, and then left, they had less than half of the time they had spent cultivating in the Cold Flame Valley, and it was important to seize the time to cultivate, so Qiao Yuan told Tang Li, Lin Wantian, and Xie Feiyu about the situation that Qu Yunwei had told him, and then he said goodbye and left.

Back in the cabin, Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a strange glow, and he muttered softly.

"The land of inheritance trials, this should be a great opportunity. ”

After speaking, his eyes flashed with a trace of essence, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate again.
