The elder in charge of the captive land left the main hall and went directly to the detention center of the captive area, and when he came to the outside of the house where the caretaker was, the elder of the captive land knocked on the door directly.

The caretaker in the house saw the arrival of the elder in charge, and hurriedly and respectfully welcomed him into the house, and the elder in charge of the captive land said, "The fifth-order demon beasts on the fifth layer have basically been killed, do you know about this?"

"This ...... I ......"

The elder of the captive land watched the caretaker stumble, so he spoke, "Who has been here these days?"

"Just a few core disciples have been here"

"Core disciples, which ones, give me the list"

The caretaker handed over the list of all the people who had entered the Demon Beast Land in the past two days to the elders of the captive land. After receiving the list, the elders of the captive land began to check them one by one, and of course they did not forget to burn the list to Yan Kuan.

After Yan Kuan knew who they were, he directly summoned those core disciples who had been to the Demon Beast Land in the past two days to the main hall.

In fact, there were a total of five people who went, namely Haoyan, a closed disciple of Tianyi Sanren, Guan Tong and Li Xin'er, the proud disciples of Elder Linglong, and Liang Xing and Gao Luming, the disciples of the elders of the Law Hall.

Yan Kuan looked at the five people and said, "Which of you went to the fifth layer?"

Guan Tong and Li Xin'er were the first to speak: "Head of Qiqi, the two of us only went to the fourth layer, and the strength of the demon beasts in the fifth layer is above us, and we can't deal with it, so we don't dare to go."

Yan Kuan glanced at the two of them, and turned to look at Haoyan and Liang Xing and Gao Luming, Gao Luming spoke first: "Master, the two of us are also the fifth layer of qi refining, and the demon beasts of the fifth layer can't deal with it, so we are only on the fourth layer, by the way, Senior Sister Guan and Senior Sister Li can testify, we have met on the fourth layer."

Yan Kuan finally moved his gaze to Hao Yan, in fact, Yan Kuan knew in his heart, it is estimated that only Hao Yan is the only one who has gone to the fifth layer, after all, although the cultivation of several people here is the same, but the other four people in terms of combat power combined are not Hao Yan's opponents.

Seeing that Haoyan hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Kuan said to the other four: "Okay, the four of you go back first."

Guan Tong and the four of them hurriedly left the main hall, and outside the main hall, Liang Xing spoke: "Could it be that Haoyan went to the fifth floor, it is logically impossible! His cultivation is similar to ours!"

"Don't worry about it, maybe the head of the family has something to do with him!"

After speaking, the four of them returned to their own caves, and in the main hall, Haoyan still didn't say a word at this time, but Yan Kuan kept staring at him, and the whole person was furious.

In desperation, Haoyan stiffened his head and said, "I did it."

"It's good to admit it, I know you have a magic weapon, it should be your sickle, and it should be a high-grade magic weapon depending on the condition"

In fact, after killing the fifth-layer demon beast, Hao Yan was not worried, but at this moment, when he heard Yan Kuan talking about his sickle, Hao Yan became nervous in his heart.

Yan Kuan saw Haoyan's expression and smiled: "Don't worry, it's yours, no one will snatch it, not to mention that you are a disciple of my family, but this time you went too far, and you actually killed all the demon beasts of the entire fifth layer, tell me, what do you want to do?"

When Haoyan heard Yan Kuan's words, he said with a hint of shyness: "The disciple wants to improve his cultivation as soon as possible and increase his actual combat experience."

"Is that all? I heard the disciple who went to check on say that all the crystal nuclei of those demon beasts that were killed were gone, didn't you take them?"

"I ...... I just want to absorb the aura of the crystal nucleus."

"It's not a small cowardice, do you know that if you absorb too much, you may demonize it, aren't you afraid?"

Haoyan pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah! it will also demonize, this disciple doesn't know"

Yan Kuan shook his head helplessly: "The crystal nucleus you get is all yours, but you can't absorb it directly, you must take it to remove the demon qi inside before you can absorb it, and you must be punished for killing all the demon beasts of the fifth layer without authorization."

When Haoyan heard this, his face showed grievances, but he didn't refute it, and after Yan Kuan saw it, he smiled: "No matter who it is, you must be punished, you go to the Sibi Cliff of the Law Hall, where to face the wall for half a year, and at the same time punish you with a year's spirit stone, okay, you go down!"

Haoyan immediately saluted, and left the main hall, feeling extremely depressed: This is still a punishment, really, the demon beast was killed by me, but that is also my ability! Who let the demon beast you are looking for be so weak.

The little crow was in the sickle, feeling Haoyan's grievances, and responded with a smile: "Boy, come on! You have killed other people's demon beasts, are you still not satisfied? You must know that it is not easy to keep demon beasts in captivity."

"It's not easy, isn't it just to catch some demon beasts and throw them into captivity!"

"What you think is too simple, it's right to catch some demon beasts first, but it's not easy to keep them in captivity and not let them leave, feed the monsters food every day, that's not the capital!"

Haoyan didn't want to talk nonsense, so he simply ignored the little crow and went directly to the Law Hall to receive the punishment.

It's not a lot of nonsense to come to the Law Hall, Hao Yan was directly taken to Sibi Cliff by the people of the Law Hall, "Senior Brother Hao Yan, you can face the wall here! Don't make trouble, or leave by yourself, there are formations here."

When Haoyan heard this, he nodded: "I know senior brother, I will think about it here."

Seeing Haoyan's humble attitude, the disciples of the Law Hall nodded, and then left.

Hao Yan stood alone outside the cave mansion and sighed: "Isn't it just facing the wall for half a year! I'll cultivate hard for half a year, and strive to break through to the seventh layer of qi refining within half a year."

"Boy, I wish you success," said the little crow gloatingly.

When Haoyan heard this, he didn't bother to pay attention to the little crow, and walked into the cave, which was extremely simple, and there was not even a bed in it, except for the side of the cave, the other three sides were stone walls.

But there is one thing inside, that is, the futon for meditation, Haoyan looked at everything in the cave, and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that this is really thinking about the wall!"

"Isn't it just right? Anyway, you're going to retreat, and nothing else is going on!"

"Forget it, let's absorb the aura in the demon beast crystal nucleus here!"

When the little crow heard this, he immediately said: "You are not afraid that the head will find out that you have less crystal nucleus."

"What about discovery?"

"Then people will say that you are demonized, and then they will lock you up and check you for a while"

When Haoyan heard this, he immediately said, "This is not enough!"

"Then you can give it a try!"

After speaking, the little crow stopped talking, Haoyan stayed in the cave and was depressed, the aura of the crystal nucleus did not dare to absorb it casually, and there were not many spirit stones on his body, if he couldn't even break through the sixth layer of qi refining for half a year, it would be a waste of half a year.

"Forget it, let's use the spirit stone to cultivate first" Since he was already going to spend half a year here, Haoyan didn't think much about it anymore, and sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate.

Although the cultivation time flies quickly, the aura is insufficient, and it is difficult to improve the cultivation, but this kind of cultivation makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Hao Yan took out the only fifty or sixty spirit stones left, and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stones, in order to improve his cultivation speed, but now Haoyan is in the fifth layer of Qi refining, and the spiritual energy in the fifty or sixty spirit stones cannot meet Haoyan's needs to improve his cultivation at all.

In desperation, Haoyan decided to use the crystal nucleus, so he said to the little crow: "How to refine the aura in the crystal nucleus of the demon beast, tell me quickly"

"Are you sure you want to absorb?"

"Of course, it's a waste not to absorb it."

After the little crow heard it, it flew out of Haoyan's body, and looked at Haoyan with a pair of small eyes: "It's very simple, you take out the crystal nucleus, inject spiritual power into yourself to peel off the outer layer of the crystal nucleus, and the inside is the aura, and then you can absorb it directly."

"Is that all?"

"Of course, otherwise how difficult do you think, okay, you hurry up and cultivate! I will also improve my strength" The words fell, and the little crow flew back into Haoyan's body.

Haoyan took out the crystal nucleus according to the way the little crow said, and of course chose some relatively small crystal nuclei to absorb first.

According to the way of the little crow, it really worked, and soon the aura in a crystal nucleus was absorbed by Haoyan, and then Haoyan took out a few more crystal nuclei and continued to absorb them.

With the aura in the crystal nucleus, Haoyan basically has no shortage of aura when he cultivates, and his cultivation speed is also amazingly fast, and after staying in the Facing Wall Cave Mansion for more than a month, there are signs of breaking through to the sixth layer of qi refining.

Hao Yan was extremely excited at the moment, because the speed of cultivating with the demon beast crystal nucleus was obviously much faster than using the spirit stone, and the demon beast crystal nucleus also contained a wealth of demon beast power, but it was more troublesome to absorb the power of these demon beasts, and it needed to go through a transformation to absorb it.

However, good things are always grinding, and Hao Yan doesn't care about the time of the transformation, and this transformation is all transformed by the little crow controlling the sickle, transforming all the demonic energy inside, leaving pure energy for Hao Yan to absorb.

Two months after facing the wall cave, Hao Yan broke through to the sixth layer of qi refining, but the demon beast crystal nucleus collected before was only used up to thirty percent.

Seeing that Haoyan was very happy, he continued to cultivate and planned to break through the seventh layer of qi refining in one fell swoop, and two months later, less than a quarter of Haoyan's demon beast crystal nucleus remained, but these two months also successfully broke through to the seventh layer of qi refining.

"Boy, you have broken through to the seventh layer of qi refining, and now you don't have much of the demon beast crystal nucleus left, which is not enough to support you to the eighth layer of qi refining, it is better to stay and use it later"

Haoyan heard the little crow's words and nodded: "That's right, but I think I should learn some fighting skills."

The little crow flew out of Hao Yan's body again at this moment, looking at Hao Yan, his little eyes turned a few times, and then shook his head: "It's difficult! There are few moves in the Qi Refining Realm, and everyone basically improves their cultivation when they are in the Qi Refining Realm, mainly focusing on Qi absorption, and many of the fighting moves are martial arts from the mortal world."

"Then according to what you mean, you don't have to learn fighting moves until after you build the foundation," Haoyan looked at the little crow and said with deep helplessness.

The little crow nodded: "Yes, but I have a set of swordsmanship, I don't know if you like it or not."

"What kind of swordsmanship" Hearing the little crow's words, Haoyan was extremely happy and immediately asked.
