At the same time, all parts of Qingyu Island were still as calm as ever, and among the people and friends who had some friendship with Shen Shi, it seemed that everyone was also doing their own things peacefully.

Behind the Ming Furnace Palace, in the Dan Hearth Stone Room, Zhong Qinglu's white cheeks looked a little beautiful crimson under the blazing fire. Light smoke floated up, and a low roar came from inside the Dan furnace, and a stream of invisible spiritual power with a bit of medicinal herb fragrance filled the entire stone room.

This furnace Pei Yuan Dan is about to open the furnace and see the difference.

Zhong Qinglu knelt beside the Dan furnace, staring at the red flame silently, carefully listening to the sound in the Dan furnace, judging and weighing them one by one in his heart, waiting for the moment when he was most sure to open the furnace and take the Dan.

It was at this moment that she seemed to be in a trance for a moment, thinking of the appearance of Shen Shi handing the eighty spirit crystals to herself last night, although he had a calm expression, but ......

Hmph, don't you think the slightest pain in your eyes is that this girl can't see it!

When my furnace of Pei Yuan Dan is refined, I will stuff it into your hand again, and see what kind of expression you have at that time!

Zhong Qinglu thought so in his heart, in this quiet and unmanned Dan room, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

In this most critical and also the fifth year that determines the fate of most people, among the many new disciples on Qingyu Island, among the most high-profile people, the first is of course Gan Ze, whether it is his ancient family background or his talent beyond his peers, which makes Gan Ze so different.

It's as if he was born to be superior.

And at this moment, Gan Ze, alone in his own cave mansion, has almost completely immersed himself in his own cultivation, under the strong foundation for many years, the spiritual power in his body has already reached the peak state of the Qi Refining Realm, and the Qi veins around his body are already full of spiritual power as thick as clouds and mist, and at this moment, he is flowing and moving, seeing that the moment of opening up the Jade Mansion and impacting the Ning Yuan Realm is coming.

With his tongue on the roof of his mouth, Gan Ze calmly guided the spiritual power in his body, and at the same time, for a moment, he thought of the demon island, of course, he also remembered the demon trapping cave on the demon island, and the things he had seen in it.

A sneer swept across his face, and after he really broke through to the Ning Yuan Realm, and then learned the powerful Dao magic power from the Lingxiao Sect, it was time for him to return to the Demon Island Demon Hunting Cave to take revenge.

Zhong Qingzhu walked all the way from the herring fish set with a faint smile on her face, and from time to time someone recognized her on the road and greeted her warmly, and she responded with a smile one by one. In the past few years, her circle of friends on Qingyu Island has expanded a lot, and she has met many people, which is much better than Shen Shi's five years of almost only knowing less than ten people in the same batch.

Especially a few days ago, Zhong Qingzhu unexpectedly broke through the high-level of Qi Refining Realm for the second time among the rookie disciples, and became the second most influential figure on the island after Ganze, and there were even more fellow disciples who came to make friends with her.

There are many friends, that is, there are many ways, there are many news, and there are many methods, and Zhong Qingzhu seems to be born to be good at dancing with long sleeves, and even much stronger than her cousin Zhong Qinglu with a better background, so that now in the minds of many fellow disciples, the representative of the Zhong family, a famous vassal family under the Lingxiao Sect, is no longer Zhong Qinglu, who is a little arrogant and lazy to take care of idlers, but Zhong Qingzhu, who often smiles and looks very gentle and amiable.

In the future, when he broke through to the Ning Yuan Realm, and then the elders of the sect accepted him as a beloved disciple, the splendid future of cultivating immortals seemed to be spread out in front of him.

Zhong Qingzhu also felt that she should really be happy, so all the way over, she smiled kindly and nodded and chatted with those who knew or didn't know her classmates, and it took a lot of effort to return to her cave mansion.

When the stone door closed, Zhong Qingzhu first stood for a while, and then slowly exhaled a breath, unconsciously she seemed to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by everyone, from childhood to adulthood, this is something she has never experienced, most of the time, it is Zhong Qinglu's treatment.

That feels good.

She put down her gentle and polite appearance in front of people, stretched her waist a little presumptuously, and then sat down at the table, but suddenly she felt a little empty in her heart, and she didn't want to do anything, so she just held her cheeks in her hands, leaning on the table in a daze.

Then she thought of a boy, the boy who had been in a dark cave five years ago and had experienced life and death with her.

But recently, even when we meet, everyone still laughs and chats, but I always feel that I am a little stranger to him......

Zhong Qingzhu was stunned like this, and he didn't move for a long time.

"Ah......h

Sun You cursed in his mouth and turned around not to look at the beast. After working here in the beast field for five years, from a child to a teenager, his life is admittedly stable, and his cultivation is also on schedule, but at this moment, he looked up at the blue sky above his head, and suddenly felt a little envious of Shen Shi, that guy does not have a background like his own, and he can't find such a stable and preferential task, so he can only take great risks from time to time to go to the demon island to explore and hunt demons.

But that guy seems to be much freer than himself, and these days, I always feel that there is a faint sharpness in him, I don't know if he has killed too many demon beasts on the demon island, is it murderous......

Sun You shook his head, smiled bitterly, clenched his fist casually and spread his palm, and after about five or six breaths, a fireball appeared in his hand.

The original Five Elements Technique, in fact, he also refined it, but in the end, he still didn't go to the demon island that became extremely dangerous in the mouths of everyone after the accident.

Shen Shi: What is he doing now?

Sun You looked up at the sky, and then glanced at the sea in the distance, and the place that was difficult to see in the distance of the sea was the direction where the demon island was located.

※※※

Shen Shi, what is he doing now?

Similar thoughts, in the sea water outside Hongbang Village, a beautiful figure wandering in the water also said softly to himself.

The starfish stretched her body, and she didn't see any big movements, but her body floated on the sea water very easily, even if it seemed that she was still carrying a light mussel shell, but it didn't seem to affect her at all.

In Hongbang Village, there was an old voice coming:

"Starfish, there are no fish in the water now, not even on the other side of the Coral Sea, don't run over by yourself. ”

Starfish frowned, and said loudly to the shore with some impatience: "Got it, I'm not a child. ”

The old man on the shore laughed, and seemed to tell her a word, but he didn't mean it seriously, and after saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked away step by step.

"Coral Sea...... "Starfish sighed, "I said I was going to take the stones to see it, but he was so stupid, he didn't know how to swim for so long, otherwise he would have taken him there a long time ago." ”

"But speaking of which, I haven't been there for a long time, since there are no fish in the sea......"

The starfish turned over in the water, its fair skin shining among the waves, like a beautiful fish.

Then, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end she smiled, turned over, but dived into the water, and quietly dived away in this vast sea.

The scenery under the water is unusually beautiful, but after the lack of fish, the huge underwater world is empty and only those strange stones and strange walls remain, and there is no anger in the slightest.

The starfish didn't notice anything, the sea around the herring island looked like this, she had seen a lot in the past few years, and there was nothing strange about it, and soon she swam to the depths of the seabed, and the deep turquoise underwater world with a bit of darkness in the distance seemed to be quietly surging towards her, until her figure disappeared into the sea.

On the demon island, in the middle of the dense forest.

Shen Shi stared at the blood-eyed marten in front of him, held his breath, and quietly raised his right hand holding the earth sinking talisman and aimed it at the little demon beast that was still digging on the ground. Just as he was about to activate the talisman, suddenly, as if he had been alarmed by something, the blood-eyed marten suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Shi's direction.

Shen Shi's heart suddenly sank, and he just wanted to activate the Sinking Earth Talisman immediately, but he found that the blood-eyed marten showed a bit of fear and screamed, but its body was as fast as lightning and fled backwards in an instant.

Shen Shi let out an "ah" and rushed up a few steps, but the blood-eyed marten was extremely agile, and in the blink of an eye, it was actually out of his casting range, which was really staggeringly fast, which made Shen Shi feel stunned and annoyed.

If only I had known that I had done it earlier.

Since the blood-eyed marten was frightened and fled, with its timid nature, it probably wouldn't come back, Shen Shi had to sigh, gave up the idea of catching it again, and was thinking about whether to explore the forest again, when suddenly Shen Shi only felt that the ground under his feet seemed to shake slightly.

Shen Shi's face changed suddenly, but before he could make a judgment or react, a sharp beast roar sounded from behind him, and then accompanied by a gust of fishy wind, the bull-shaped demon beast that had always been strong rushed over.

Shen Shi was taken aback, why didn't he find this demon beast when he came over before, and now he was attacked by it in a hurry, Shen Shi hurriedly reached out to take the talisman in the little Ruyi ring.

It's just that his hand is only half extended, but he suddenly saw that the direction of the demon beast rushing from it seemed a little weird, and after a while, he only heard the sound of hooves galloping like a drum, this fierce and strong demon beast actually rushed past him, and then ran frantically towards the depths of the dense forest as if fleeing for his life, and it didn't even look at the weak human being not far away.

Shen Shi was a little stunned for a while, and suddenly he couldn't accept this strange thing, but in the next moment, countless hustle and bustle roaring sounds suddenly sounded in the forest, and behind the dense branches and leaves of the tree trunks, countless various demon beasts suddenly appeared, each of them looked very frightened, and they all ran forward like crazy, turning into a torrent of demon beasts, flying past Shen Shi, who was at a loss and stunned.

An endless mist, slowly surging behind these demon beasts, obscured all the light, and gradually submerged the forest as if swallowing. And in the thick fog, the strange and eerie sound was like a ghost crying in Huangquan, coming from all directions, in the fog, I don't know how many ethereal shadows loomed, with a cold and biting cold, floating forward.
