The bamboo is luxuriant, swaying with the wind. The sun is slanting in the west, and the figures are floating.

The two teenagers standing outside the bamboo forest, of the same age and size, kept looking at each other and did not speak. The young man who was slightly older than Yue Chen had a very strange expression on his face, as if he was extremely unwilling to believe what his eyes were seeing, and looked at Yue Chen inexplicably.

Finally, he spoke first, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in the past nine months, you have been closed, but you have cultivated to the seventh level of the Hundred Cultivation Realm. ”

Yue Chen bowed slightly, and replied with a smile: "Senior Brother Wei, haven't you already cultivated to the eighth level? Why did I just reach the seventh level and surprised you so much? It really puzzles me!" After a pause, he said: "Senior Brother is the eldest disciple of Elder Haoyi, and he often serves on the side of the elders, why did you come here to find me when you have free time today? Could it be that there is something important?"

The name of the person who came was Wei Yuan, and he was a new disciple of Yue Chen's Chengming Sect, but the creation was a world of difference. There were four of them who came to Heavenly Killing Peak together, Wei Yuan and the other three were directly accepted by Haoyi Zhenren as their own disciples, and Yue Chen became an incompatible one.

Some people want to ask, why do all the new disciples who come to the Heavenly Killing Peak immediately become personal disciples? This is also related to the eclectic inheritance of the Taiqing lineage! Because the two lines of Yuqing and Shangqing have hundreds of disciples every time they accept disciples, there is a difference between inner disciples and personal disciples. In the Shangqing lineage, there are a large number of outer disciples. Taiqing lineage, since the beginning of the knowledge, each batch of new disciples, up to four people. If you meet an elder with a strange temper, you may be able to go through several batches of new disciples before you can receive one or two descendants. In the long run, as long as they are left in the Heavenly Killing Peak, except for the inheritor of the talisman, the rest of the disciples are all the elder's personal disciples. Yes, the Taiqing line has always been thin, and it is still the case.

Getting back to the point, Wei Yuan saw Yue Chen get straight to the point, asked him what he meant, and replied: "Feng Haoxian's uncle, our thirteen disciples of the Taiqing lineage need to experience it together. The destination was Qingjingling, and the time was three days later. It was presided over by Han Yu and Liu Yuan. ”

"How is this possible? I am the inheritor of the talisman, and the three of you have also arrived at the eighth level of the Hundred Cultivation Realm early, and you can fly things, how can I advance and retreat with you, and go to the Qingjing Ridge, which is infested with demon beasts and full of dangers. ”

Wei Yuan sighed and said, "I won't tell you, Senior Brother Wang also said the same thing, but he was reprimanded by the two masters. The two masters said, 'No matter what, you are also the authentic descendant of the Taiqing lineage. 'No, my master asked me to inform you. Having said that, this is the first time that our twenty-first generation disciples of the Taiqing lineage have gathered and practiced, and the seven elders still attach great importance to it. Senior Brother Yue, you have to prepare well, and see you in Qingfeng Valley in three days. With that, he smiled mysteriously and left.

Yue Chen shook his head helplessly, returned to the bamboo house, and took out all his belongings to check, there were only thirteen second-order talismans, which were the capital for his own life. And among these thirteen cards, six are second-order spells to resist the wind, which are used to save lives. In other words, Yue Chen only had seven second-order spells that could be used to attack. This is too cold to train in a dangerous place like Qingjing Ridge, looking for spiritual materials or hunting demon beasts.

Nine months ago, the farthest place Yue Chen had traveled was Eagle Valley, five hundred miles away from Yunqiao Stream, and Qingjing Ridge was already thousands of miles away from the branch of Tianlu Peak. If it weren't for the profundity of Taoism and the spiritual treasure weapon of self-protection, no one would dare to trespass into it. For Yue Chen, if there were enough runes of the Wind Resistance Technique and a large number of runes of the third-order attack technique, it would be possible to go to the experience.

Looking at the only eight remaining spar stones, Yue Chen was sad for a while, and thought: "One more me is not more, less me is not more, why should I go to join in the fun!"

The next day, Yue Chen got up early, first practiced the runes seriously, and repeatedly comprehended the various mysterious spells in the Taiqing Divine Immortal Book. It wasn't until the beginning of the hour that he slowly went out and walked towards Qingfeng Valley.

Not to mention Qingjing Ridge, it is this Qingfeng Valley, and it is also the first time Yue Chen has gone there. Along the way, Yue Chen was pondering some words, how to better explain that he failed to come to Yunyun on time, so he had no time to patronize the beautiful scenery in the fairy mountain. But the pace is not too fast, it is still a slow walk. Because he expected that the twelve would not wait for him, and would not be willing to bring a bottle of oil with him. Yes, everyone needs to have a good excuse!

Yunqiao Stream is about six hundred miles away from Qingfeng Valley, and Yue Chen walked for an hour before he arrived at Qingfeng Valley. He walked a few steps tentatively, but he didn't see anyone, and he couldn't hear anyone's voice, so he was sure that the twelve people must have gone to Qingjingling first. I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly said, "Great! God help me!"

Then, exit the Qingfeng Valley and enjoy the scenery. I saw that at the entrance of Qingfeng Valley, there was a huge bluestone, which was engraved with the three big characters of "Qingfeng Valley" vigorously and powerfully, and it seemed that someone had carved it out with supreme mana. Around the big bluestone, there are pine and cypress flowers, and there are some locust and poplar trees in the distance, which are uneven and lush.

Yue Chen's mind was obviously not on these meaningless flowers and plants, but on all kinds of spiritual materials. Thinking about the price of that piece of green rune paper, I will always unnaturally dream of making a windfall, hoping that if I suddenly encounter a high-grade spirit grass, I can make a fortune. If the green rune paper in his hand can be turned, it will be of great help to him in finding spiritual materials in the future.

Soon, Yue Chen's figure disappeared into the Qingfeng Valley, and when he first entered the valley, he encountered three first-order demon beasts, easily killed them with the first-order talismans, and stripped off the spiritual materials. Walking further into the valley, I picked up two first-grade spirit grasses. Yue Chen measured: "The spiritual materials on the first-order demon beasts are worth three to five spars each, and the first-grade spirit grass is worth as many spars, and each one is worth twenty spars. ”

Why is there such a big difference between the spiritual materials of the same first order? This is because the spiritual materials of each order are divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. In the records of various spiritual materials, it is generally accepted that among the spiritual materials of the same grade, spiritual grass, spiritual wood, and jade belong to the upper grade, the flowers, fruits, silk, hemp, and vegetables of plants belong to the middle grade, and the birds, beasts, and insects belong to the subordinate products. As a result, the price of spiritual materials is infinitely refined.

When he walked further in, there were still no second-grade and above spiritual materials appearing, Yue Chen wondered: "In this Fushan Spiritual Land, there should be many high-level spiritual materials, why can't we find them? It seems that the elders must have expected that if there were many spiritual materials in this valley, who would be willing to go to Qingjing Ridge?" Yue Chen also understood that although the Chengming Sect occupied the entire Jinting Mountain, there were very few peaks and valleys for the disciples to experience and obtain spiritual materials. For example, in the Taiqing lineage, disciples are only allowed to go to two places, Eagle Valley and Lieyun Peak. Permission to go to Qingjingling is already extraordinarily generous. Therefore, even Liu Yuan and the others did not want to delay the opportunity to go to Qingjingling to harvest because of Yue Chen.

Nearly fifty miles deep into the valley, there are no second-grade spiritual materials, but there are twelve first-grade spiritual materials, which are roughly measured, which is the price of eight pieces of green rune paper. Besides, it's not early. Since he hadn't seen a demon beast above the second order along the way, Yue Chen was also extremely relaxed. By the way, I picked some wild fruits and chose an ancient cypress as a resting place for myself tonight.

During the unitary period, Yue Chen began to practice two mystical methods one after another. In the valley, the breeze comes slowly, gently brushing the body, and the feathered body feels more gently suspended, with a slight sense of ethereal and void. In the valley, it is still very quiet, and even a kind of silence, or this scene, I suddenly feel that the branches of the entire Jinting Immortal Mountain are also quiet and abnormal.

An hour later, Yue Chen slowly woke up, breathed in and breathed in the pranayama, so that the breath was even and the body was relaxed, so as to relieve the fatigue of the body after cultivation as soon as possible. The night had long since obscured the valley, and trees loomed in the distance. Yue Chen didn't dare to take out the jade talisman to illuminate it, so he had to rely on the monk's eyesight to look as far away as possible. I only prayed in my heart for a peaceful night, and tomorrow there would be some harvest, and then I would go home.

There was nothing to do for a while, but the time had come to three o'clock. Gradually, Yue Chen found that not far from this ancient cypress, a faint red light began to glow, and there seemed to be a black lotus in the red light, giving birth to a spiral spiritual mist that swirled and moved, diffusing around the red light. If it was really the treasure of heaven and earth, I am afraid that it would have been taken away by one of the twelve people, or discovered by the elders of the sect who patrolled the mountains. If it weren't for the treasures, this scene would be like a treasure born from heaven and earth. After another moment, the red light became brighter, but the black lotus that seemed to be there was even more blurred.

After pondering it again and again, Yue Chen could no longer suppress his curiosity, thinking that people in the cultivation path had obtained the supreme immortal fate due to various karma and circumstances, and refined a body of divine powers that penetrated the heavens and the earth. Then he blamed himself: "If you are like me and cowering, how can you get the great opportunity in your life?" After paying attention, he clasped a talisman in his hand, and flew towards the red light under the urging of his divine thoughts.

Yue Chen silently timed in his heart, flew from Gu Bai to the red light, he used two talismans, it took half an hour, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said in his heart: "Although the second-order spell Wind Resisting Technique, the speed after urging the spell to fly cannot be compared with the sword cultivators flying with swords, but it is still said in the past. In this way, the distance just now is a bit far. This thought was only fleeting, but the footsteps did not stop, and went straight to the bottom of a big tree, and the red light emitted from the inside of its heart.

Looking at it by light, there is nothing unusual about this big tree that the three of them hug together, but it is a very common golden tree. The bark of the tree was dry and wrinkled, and the cracks were open enough to see the inside of the tree poles. When Yue Chen saw this, he also relaxed, it was not a genius, but he just thought too much. After thinking for a while, he took out a spirit blade about nine inches long, cut it along the irregular crack in the bark, and took out a tree center about three feet three inches long and nine inches in diameter. This kind of tree heart is also a kind of commonplace, and nowadays, some monks from humble backgrounds will choose the best ones as wooden swords for their cultivation before the Divine Evolution Realm. If you want to count spiritual materials, they are just ordinary first-grade spiritual materials.

However, when Yue Chen pinched it in his hand for a while, he found that the heart of the tree was getting hotter and more transformed. It emits a "crackling" sound, which seems to be changing along an irregular pattern, a kind of deformation that is almost twisted and torn. Subsequently, the originally bright red light gradually disappeared. At this time, Yue Chen happened to hold one end of the heart of the tree with his right hand, and he clearly felt that the heart of the tree was condensing.

In an instant, the heart of the tree at the good end became a little thinner, and a strange carving was formed on it, and the end of Yue Chen's hand was the most condensed, turning into a sword-like hilt, with a very obvious gap with the thickness of the stick body. In addition to being surprised, Yue Chen found that the Xuanyu Qi on his body was gone, and then, before he could pursue it, there was a warm feeling from the Yufu Dantian, and there was a pure spiritual power, which was converging into it like a river hanging upside down. Slowly, with the inflow of this spiritual power, the spiritual power in the Jade Mansion became more and more dense and pure, but what followed was also a test of Yue Chen's Jade Mansion's endurance.

The beads of sweat dripping non-stop, and his body began to tremble slightly, Yue Chen suddenly felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he wanted to faint. At this moment, this spiritual power was completely integrated into the Jade Mansion, and the dense and thick spiritual power was like smoke, fog and clouds, rolling endlessly in the Jade Mansion.

After a long time, Yue Chen gradually regained his strength, looked at the deformed tree heart in his hand, and said softly: "It turned out to be a Seven Evil Xuanmu?"

As soon as the words fell, there was an eerie cold snort behind him, followed by a wave of heat hitting him. This heat wave, at first a small stream, followed by a river, then turned into a bottomless sea, burying Yue Chen into the deep sea. Yue Chen felt that his blood was boiling, his body bones were melting, and the water in his body had already evaporated. It is like walking in a desert with a hot wave, there is no village in front of you, no store in the back, and there is no drop of water around you. It is a real can't survive, and it's unwilling to die.

Just when his life was hanging by a thread, Yue Chen's jade mansion began to move, giving birth to a trace of aura like the eye of a living spring, slowly wandering through the meridians of the whole body, awakening the Xuanyu Qi that was originally all over the body. Suddenly, Yue Chen's body was in the inner Jade Mansion where the aura was constantly generated, and the aura of Xuanyu was awakened by the inner aura, enveloping the whole body, and competing with the waves of demonic flame qi that seemed to come from hell.

When facing each other, Yue Chen actually felt that his Xuanyu aura was similar to the other party's heat wave, connecting and blending, and inadvertently absorbed a lot of heat waves, filling the Xuanyu aura in the meridians around his body.

In the midst of the incomparably painful suffering, time is quietly lost. At the moment, it is already the next day, and it is also the darkest hour of the day. Yue Chen finally felt that the heat wave receded like a tide, and he was reborn, and the heavy dirt, turbidity, and filth in his body were washed away, and he suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

After Yue Chen sobered up and turned around, he hurriedly turned back to see what kind of evil thing was doing it and hurting himself. However, his neck was fixed by an inexplicable force, and he couldn't move. In surprise, the corner of his eye swept obliquely, and a red shadow slowly walked in. Yue Chen's mind suddenly went blank, and his heart rested. The red shadow walked to Yue Chen's side, paused for a moment, and then walked forward again.

When he was about three zhang away from Yue Chen, Yue Chen woke up like a dream, staring at the red shadow in a daze. Rubbing his eyes, he was sure that he was right, the red shadow was floating three feet above the ground, and the black hair reached to the waist, completely obscuring the front body. For a moment, I couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, but I shouted in my heart: "Ghost?"

Thinking of this, I can't care about it anymore, so I turn around and run. However, after running a hundred paces, the red shadow looked at him not far ahead. At this moment, Yue Chen clearly saw the true face of that person, and suddenly felt that it was nothing, it was a handsome middle-aged man, wearing a bewitching red robe. Maybe it's because of the robe, and his eyes also show a strange red glow, which is terrifying.

When Yue Chen was about to open his mouth to ask, the red shadow drifted away into the distance, and a sentence that seemed to ask himself came from the air where he floated: "Taiqing Xuanyu? Seven Evil Gods?

Yue Chen listened to the clouds, but when he saw that the sky was getting brighter, he looked at the unfamiliar woods around him, and asked softly, "Where is this?" When he was looking at himself, he suddenly realized that he had something in his hand, and then he remembered what happened last night.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed softly, "The Seven Evil Trees are extremely common things, why did such a strange thing happen last night?"
