Qiao Yuan thought silently, since returning from the Donglin Continent, one thing after another, he almost didn't have time to calm down and cultivate, and there were even many backlogs that he hadn't dealt with.

For example, the Thousand Illusion Puppets that were subdued from the Forbidden Source Land, as well as the puppet method of the Zhao Immortal Monarch, all of which took a lot of time to study.

In addition, in the Moon Without Trace inheritance, in addition to cultivating the magical power of the Dark Moon Seal, the Yuan Infant can also cultivate a secret technique called the Moon Shadow Twin Pupil.

This technique has no offensive powers, but is a psychedelic spell that is primarily used to aid in the use of the Dark Moon Seal.

In addition, this technique can also be regarded as an evolved version of the moonlight eye condensation technique, once cast, it can not only make people blind in a short period of time, but also produce psychedelic effects.

"I wonder what the effect of using the Moon Shadow Twin Pupil and Purple Pupil together will be?"

A trace of anticipation flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice, back in the Grass Spirit Valley, he had subdued the king beast Purple Pupil Python, and integrated its eyes into his own eyes, achieving a pair of purple pupils.

This purple pupil can not only see through all illusions in the world, but also can cast illusions on others, but the effect is not very good, unless it is to stimulate the purple pupils of someone whose cultivation is lower than him, otherwise the illusion is easy to be cracked.

It is precisely because of this that Qiao Yuan rarely uses purple pupils, but if he cultivates the Moon Shadow Twin Pupils and urges them at the same time, I don't know if the psychedelic effect will be stronger.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan had more expectations in his heart, and he even had a hint of eagerness to try, but he knew that the cultivation of this secret technique was not simple, and it could not be cultivated overnight, otherwise he would have cultivated into the Dark Moon Seal, how could he not be able to cultivate this Moon Shadow Twin Pupil.

With a light sigh, Qiao Yuan got up and prepared to leave, but the moment he turned around, his eyes flashed, and his expression gradually softened.

I saw a delicate-looking girl walking slowly behind her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes hidden reluctance and deep attachment.

"Brother Qiao, why are you here alone?"

The person who came was Zhan Yao, she walked up to Qiao Yuan, and asked with a smile, as if she had forgotten all about last night.

"Come here and think about some cultivation questions. Qiao Yuan replied, and then the two sat down here again and chatted casually.

"Xiao Yao, yesterday ...... I'm sorry, I didn't expect Wanchen to come over suddenly. ”

Thinking of last night's incident, Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, he naturally saw that Zhan Yao's eyes were gloomy, but with Ling Wanchen here, he didn't want to go over directly to comfort him, otherwise he might cause a conflict between the two.

The smile on Zhan Yao's face was even bigger, but her heart was extremely uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I know that Brother Qiao's favorite is Sister Ling, and it is right to take care of her emotions. ”

Qiao Yuan was silent, his heart was also uncomfortable, he could see that Zhan Yao was not as indifferent as he seemed on the surface, he was just forcing a smile, the more this happened, the more uncomfortable he became.

If Zhan Yao cried and made a fuss, Qiao Yuan felt better.

With his thoughts turning, he felt that Zhan Yao was so depressed that his cultivation might not be very good, so he comforted him softly.

"Xiao Yao, if you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart, Brother Qiao is here, always by your side. ”

"Brother Qiao, don't leave me, okay?"

Hearing this, Zhan Yao's whole mind ...... collapsed in an instant, she threw herself into Qiao Yuan's arms, hugged her tightly, and cried loudly.

Qiao Yuan gently patted her back, his eyes showed distress, and he comforted her softly.

"Xiao Yao, don't worry, Brother Qiao will never leave you and will protect you for the rest of your life. ”

In his heart, Zhan Yao is his own sister, except for the people of Qingfeng Mountain, Zhan Yao is his only relative, worthy of his life's protection.

After a while, comforted by Qiao Yuan's soft voice, she finally stopped crying, looked up to reveal the big flower face washed with tears, and suddenly smirked.

In fact, she didn't want much at all, and she didn't really want to compete with Ling Wanchen for Qiao Yuan, with such a sentence, she felt that it was worth it.

The two returned to their original state, chatting wantonly, Qiao Yuan also specially guided Zhan Yao's cultivation and encouraged him a few words, after all, there is very likely to be a big war in the future, no one can avoid it, he has to work hard to cultivate, and Zhan Yao can't relax.

It wasn't until the moon set in the west mountain that the two returned to the valley together, originally according to his thoughts, the valley should not be peaceful, but as soon as he walked in, he didn't see anyone, and each bamboo house was closed with the door, as if he was quietly cultivating.

Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao looked at each other, then looked at each other and smiled, one walked to the cave mansion, and the other walked to a small bamboo building.

"It's hard to come by. ”

As soon as he entered the cave, Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he found that Ling Wanchen was concentrating on cultivation in a practice room, and he didn't notice himself at all.

He didn't expect that on the first day Ling Wanchen moved in, this valley would be so harmonious, quiet, and faint, he had some guesses, could it be that these people knew the news that the big war was about to start, and they worked hard to cultivate.

It's a pity that Qiao Yuan's idea is a little unrealistic, about the news about the battlefield in the East China Sea, except for a limited number of people, no one knows, after all, this matter is too big, once too many people know, it may cause some panic and chaos.

Qiao Yuan smiled easily, silently came to another practice room, turned over and took out a pot of extremely beautiful and dazzling flowers, the flowers had a total of nine petals, the color was blue, dotted with yellow mangs, and it looked like a starry sky.

This is the Qingxing Xuanyue Flower, which is indispensable for cultivating the secret techniques of the Qingyue Heart Sutra and other lunar power exercises.

"If you want to cultivate the Moon Shadow Twin Pupil, the first requirement is that the accumulation of lunar power in the body is large, the second is that the lunar power is self-contained, and the head is the central point of convergence, and the third, and most important point, is to condense the Moon Shadow. ”

Qiao Yuan looked at the beautiful flowers in front of him and muttered in a low voice, the first two points are easy to do, but the third point, he has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has never found the key.

No longer hesitating, he slowly closed his eyes, stretched the pores of his body, and continued to absorb the moon power emitted by the Qingxing Xuanyue Flower, laying the foundation for condensing the moon shadow.

There are no years of cultivation, two months have passed in a flash, Ling Wanchen had already ended her retreat more than half a month ago, her cultivation this time was mainly to refine the War God Axe, so it took a bit of time.

Originally, Ling Wanchen still thought that as soon as she moved here, she would retreat and cultivate, which would definitely make Qiao Yuan anxious for a while, but she didn't think that as soon as she came out, she found that Qiao Yuan was also in retreat, and the time was longer than herself.

After waiting for more than half a month, Ling Wanchen felt more and more longing in his heart, wanting to adjust his appetite, but he made himself suffer from lovesickness.

"Hmph, what is this guy cultivating, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Ling Wanchen snorted, she couldn't wait, so she simply went to retreat by herself, this day of being separated by a wall, but not being able to see each other, made her feel like a year, only in retreat, would she not notice the passage of time.

In the valley, due to the long retreat of these two people, the other people naturally didn't have much fun, and they all didn't go out one after another, seizing the time to cultivate.

Spring goes to autumn, a year has passed in a blink of an eye, whether it is Ling Wanchen or Zhan Yao and others, they have all come out and walked around, but Qiao Yuan has never seen anyone.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to come out, but after knowing the news that the big war was about to start, Qiao Yuan became more persistent in cultivation, and secretly swore in his heart that if he didn't cultivate into the Moon Shadow Twin Pupil, he wouldn't go out.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and it took a year for Qiao Yuan to finally master this secret technique.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the practice room, his eyes wide open, only to see that his pitch-black pupils had completely disappeared, replaced by two rounds of silver crescents, which looked extremely strange.

The dazzling light burst out, illuminating the dim practice room extremely brightly, and if anyone else was here, they would definitely be blinded by this light, and even affect their minds.

Suddenly, Qiao Yuan's eyes opened and closed, and a purple light appeared in the bright light, and if you look closely, except for the silver crescent moon in his eyes, everything else is filled with purple, and there is a strange evil in it, which makes people look at it horrively.

"Sure enough, the fusion of the purple pupils and the Moon Shadow twin pupils doesn't seem to have any sense of rejection, but I don't know what the effect is. ”

Qiao Yuan slowly closed his eyes, opened and closed them again, his eyes returned to normal, his expression was full of ecstasy and excitement, and he couldn't help but feel eager to try.

But this is in the sect, it is not easy to find someone to test at will, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, took a deep breath, got up and walked towards the door.

This retreat was not only about cultivating the Moon Shadow Twin Pupils, but he also learned the puppet technique of the Immortal Monarch of Fuzhao, and had a basic understanding of it, which can be regarded as entering the door.

The harvest is great, but the puppet technique is not simpler than the forbidden way, and the degree of complexity and complexity is enough to discourage some people who have no talent.

Fortunately, Qiao Yuan has developed a good patience in studying the prohibition, and at the same time, he is extremely proficient in derivation calculations, and he can enter the state of contemplation at any time, which gives him an advantage over ordinary people when learning the art of puppetry.

Walking out of the practice room, Qiao Yuan thought that after not seeing him for so long, Ling Wanchen must have missed him so much that he would appear immediately.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he not only found that the cave was quiet inside, but even outside the valley, it was quiet, and only the sound of birds and birds could be heard.

"Huh? they're all in retreat. ”

Qiao Yuan's divine sense probed, and he immediately found that Ling Wanchen, Zhan Yao, and the others were all cultivating, and the formation outside the house was open, obviously it was a long-term retreat, not an ordinary cultivation.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he had to walk out of the valley and prepare to chat with Su Zhen, but when he went, he found that Su Zhen's cave mansion was empty, and then asked Lian Jingshan, only to know that he had gone to the East China Sea battlefield again.

And Lian Jingshan was busy dealing with the affairs of May Peak, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Qiao Yuan, which made him quite helpless.

"That's it, go to January Peak to see if Tang Li and them are free, these days, everyone is not working hard to cultivate, but they are actively contributing to the sect, and it is so difficult to even find someone to chat with and drink. ”

After speaking, Qiao Yuan's figure flickered and disappeared into May Peak.
