Back in the cave, Meimei slept for the night.

When he woke up the next day, Cheng Yunfan was about to become proficient in his alchemy, when the ban outside the Sudden Stone was touched, emitting a blue light, which was visited by someone.

Who's coming?

There are not many people who deal with Cheng Yunfan, Zhan Mengda, Meng Guangen, Li Changfeng, Nie Fengyun, Nangong Wuji, and Bao Zhao They all have their own communication Yujian, and they will not come so rashly, and they will usually be summoned in advance.

When Cheng Yunfan opened the ban, a young man walked in, it was Yu Huai'an, who had a two-sided relationship. His stature is only three points taller than Cheng Yunfan, and his face is quite dusty, and he looks a lot more mature.

Yu Huai'an was the first to salute and said, "Senior Brother Yunfan, I haven't seen you for a few months, congratulations on your cultivation and refinement." ”

Cheng Yunfan subconsciously glanced at Yu Huai'an's cultivation, which was actually the same as what he had shown, and it was also the peak of the fifth layer of qi training. I was surprised in my heart, it seemed that he was also a diligent cultivator, so he looked up a few points, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Tongxi, Tongxi, Senior Brother Yu, your cultivation has also made great progress." ”

"Well, I also got some opportunities two days ago, and I made a slight inch, but you, junior brother, are much younger than senior brother, and you have such a cultivation, which is really enviable. ”

After a slight pause in his tone, Yu Huai'an said again: "Senior brother doesn't think it's strange, why am I looking for you?"

"Exactly, how does Senior Brother know that I live here?" In fact, when he first saw him, Cheng Yunfan was thinking about this question, and when he heard Yu Huai'an ask first, he asked casually.

"Actually, I moved here some time ago, and I saw you once in the middle, but at that time, I just saw a back, and I can't be sure it's you. It wasn't until I was at the deacon's place just now that I was sure it was you. Yu Huaian said.

"You're welcome, what can I do to help my senior brother, just ask. Cheng Yunfan replied politely.

"Senior brother Gong, first of all, I am ashamed to meet in a hurry last time. Yu Huai'an saluted as he spoke.

Cheng Yunfan knew that Yu Huai'an was talking about the last time he and Fairy Yunling were pulled up to catch the strong man and catch the bee, at that time Yu Huai'an and Fairy Yunling behaved in a hurry, but now Yu Huai'an is still a senior brother, and he also attaches great importance to appearance and etiquette in the cultivation world. ”

Yu Huai'an waited for Cheng Yunfan to return the salute before saying: "However, at that time, there was really a reason for the incident, and Elder Yuan and his party also returned to the sect in a hurry, so they didn't want to talk to their junior brother more, so as not to attract the speculation of people with many hearts." ”

Cheng Yunfan nodded understandingly, and then the two of them walked into the cave together.

"Do you know the Hengduan Mountain on the border of Southern Chu?"

The two sat down at the only stone table, and after Cheng Yunfan had built two cups of Qinglong tea, the two began to chat while sipping tea.

However, it is said that this green dragon tea is exactly one of the necessities that Cheng Yunfan rented in the cave and went to Fang City to buy the necessities of the cave, although this tea has no effect on improving cultivation, it is a refreshing thing, most monks prefer to drink this kind of tea, and it is good to entertain friends and friends.

Hearing Yu Huai'an talk about Hengduan Mountain on the border of Southern Chu, Cheng Yunfan only heard about it, but he didn't know it very well, so he was ashamed to speak: "The younger brother usually rarely goes down the mountain except for diving cultivation, and last time he went down the mountain to some places temporarily, and then he met the senior brother." ”

"It's okay, since that's the case, I'll say it bluntly, there is a kind of dragon blood ginseng in this Hengduan Mountain, which is the main ingredient for preparing Pei Yuan Dan, and although Pei Yuan Dan is the main pill for monks in the late stage of Qi training, it is actually very good for the middle stage of Qi training, and now I have no use for taking that Ju Yuan Dan, so I want to refine Pei Yuan Dan. ”

After a pause, Yu Huai'an continued: "It's not complacent, Pei Yuan Dan's Dan Fang is my brother's ancestral heirloom, and the effect is quite good, but the dragon blood ginseng needed to be more than a hundred years old to have the best effect." Although this kind of spiritual ginseng is also sold in the market, it is more than a hundred years old because it is too precious, and the price is not acceptable to us Qi refining stage cultivators. ”

Cheng Yunfan naturally also knew about dragon blood ginseng, in the past two years, he had read more "Foreign Objects Chronicles" every day after practicing, and he also knew five or six points about the things inside, and he didn't know what the difference between the information he got and what Yu Huai'an knew, so he thought about listening to his opinion, so he didn't answer.

Yu Huai'an seemed to see Cheng Yunfan's concerns, and continued: "This time, I came here to invite my junior brother to collect dragon blood ginseng together. According to the mountain people, you can meet higher years in the depths of the mountains. You also know that 'wherever there is a spiritual grass, there are spirits guarding it'. So, I'm alone and haven't been deeply involved. ”

Then Yu Huai'an smiled bitterly: "There are not only snakes and rats breeding in the mountain, but also a kind of tree monster, which is intertwined, and if you are not careful, you will be entangled in it, and it is extremely difficult to get out." ”

Speaking of which, Yu Huai'an tasted the green dragon tea and waited for Cheng Yunfan's reply.

Cheng Yunfan thought for a moment and said, "With all due respect, junior brother, I am only at the fifth level of qi cultivation, and my cultivation is not high, why did senior brother find me?"

Yu Huai'an seemed to be relieved when he saw Cheng Yunfan asking, and said: "You also know that although we are all disciples of the sect, everyone usually practices separately, and there are very few people who have a mutual relationship. What I practice is the wood attribute exercise, although I am a little close to the wood spirit spirit, but in the end the fight is not a good opponent, junior brother, what you practice is the fire attribute exercise, it is just that the fire is a little restrained to the wood, and when you enter the deep mountains, the mountain spirit and tree monster inside are naturally afraid of you, so soft and hard, it should be easier to act. Of course, after collecting dragon blood ginseng and refining elixir, I am willing to share it with my junior brother. After all, the cost of other materials is not cheap. ”

Cheng Yunfan was stunned at this time, it turned out that he was seen by him last time he cast a spell, and the fire attribute exercises were generally close to red. I also thought that although I didn't need the pill, the pill walked around the mountain to experience, first, to increase my knowledge, and secondly, to make such a friend, which is also good.

Thinking of this, he responded: "In this case, I will accompany my senior brother to go through it, but it will take three days before I can make some preparations." ”

Then the two discussed the time and place of the meeting. Yu Huai'an was also ready to go down the mountain to Fang City to deal with some things. Cheng Yunfan heard that he seemed to have invested in opening a pill shop, and he sighed in his heart that this person was quite familiar with Tao Zhu's way, no wonder he blindly used pills to assist in cultivation, but he didn't feel distressed at all.

Cheng Yunfan actually didn't have anything to prepare, after all, the strength of the seventh layer of Qi cultivation was there.

As soon as the appointed time came, the two met smoothly and flew all the way to Edgeworth.

From time to time, a golden red and pale cyan light swept through the air, and compared with the Flying Leaf Boat, the speed increased by more than two times, this is just that their cultivation is not high enough, and they can only exert six or seven percent of the power of the flying sword, it seems that there is still a big difference between the Qi refining period and the foundation building period.

Along the way, the two talked very happily, and Cheng Yunfan saw that he had been with Yu Huai'an, but Fairy Yunling did not come. I asked casually. Yu Huai'an said that he wanted to break through the fifth layer of Qi cultivation as soon as possible, and in this dangerous place, how could he let a female cultivator get into danger, and he was too big a husband.

Speaking of which, Yu Huaian is also quite manly.

Cheng Yunfan couldn't help but look at it a few times, knowing that the two had not yet made substantial contact because the foundation had not been built. In the cultivation realm, it is also rare to be able to give each other this work.

The road to cultivating immortals is long, in fact, it is not bad to have a partner, there will be a lot less loneliness.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yunfan sighed slightly and shook his head.

Probably seeing his thoughts, Yu Huai'an laughed: "Senior brother, don't sigh, you are young and promising, and you will become a great weapon in the future, don't you just come here with a Taoist or something?"

Cheng Yunfan was a little embarrassed when he was told the central matter, his face was a little hot, and he forced himself to calm up and cover up: "I am an ascetic, I step on the avenue by myself, and I will never think about the relationship between men and women, I don't ask in my heart." Senior brother, don't be joking. ”

In this other world, he has no relatives, no friends and no ties, which is naturally more in line with the flavor of Taoist asceticism.

When Yu Huai'an heard this, he was first surprised, and then saw that Cheng Yunfan's face was solemn, not like a joke, so he said seriously: "Senior brother has a deep heart, senior brother admires, but sometimes there is a partner who is not for the love of children, just to take care of each other, encourage each other, and get rid of some loneliness." ”

Seeing Yu Huai'an explain like this, Cheng Yunfan knew that he couldn't say anything, so he had to pass by with a faint smile.

Seeing this, Yu Huai'an didn't say more. The two chatted.

Yu Huai'an is also a native of Southern Chu, and when he did not enter the Sanyang Sect, his family was quite good, and he was a family of hidden doctors. Cheng Yunfan not only learned a lot of general medical skills from him, but also learned some valuable experience in alchemy.

Yu Huai'an originally had a fire attribute spiritual root, but unfortunately it was the worst, and the wood spiritual root was the best, so he learned the wood attribute exercise by mistake. The fire attribute technique was later specially learned to assist in alchemy. The ancestor of his Li family once treated a cultivator who was dying and made him live a few more days, and the monk was grateful, and before he died, he gave the ancestor of the Yu family a spiritual prescription to repay his kindness, which was that Pei Yuan Dan.

At the beginning of Qi training, Yu Huai'an was weak, and it was not until the middle of Qi training that he planned to refine Pei Yuan Dan. Coupled with the previous preparations, the collection of materials at home, and the materials were also seventy-seven, eighty-eight, so this trip was made.

Flying all the way to the southwest, three or five days later, I entered the Hengduan Mountains.

Although Hengduan Mountain is also a collection of mountains, it is more majestic and less continuous. In the depths of the west of this Hengduan Mountain, there are countless snow-capped peaks, which are white and holy from afar, while to the south are countless swamps and wetlands.

Hengjiang cross-cut Hengduan Mountain, for whom to leave the snow-capped mountains to go.

However, it is said that the Hengjiang River, which originates from the Snow Peak, is the largest water system in the southwest of the Xuanyuan Continent. In the depths of the Hengduan Mountain, it wantonly cross-cuts the large and small peaks of the Hengduan Mountain, the canyon loops, the ravines are dangerously deep, and the water flow is very rapid all the way south, until it comes out of the Hengduan Mountain, the water potential gradually slows down, lingering in the swamps and wetlands around the Hengduan Mountain, like a jade belt, it seems a lot quieter, and continues to flow southward, straight into the South China Sea.

After another ten days, the two finally crossed countless swamps and wetlands, and occasionally encountered some low, lonely peaks that had not been completely eroded by hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain.

Only then did we finally enter the core periphery of Hengduan Mountain, where the mountains are steep and straight, and look quite imposing. There are villages scattered in the mountains, most of which belong to the primitive small kingdom attached to Southern Chu.

Putting away the flying sword, Yu Huai'an said: "This is here, if you go further, it will be more dangerous." ”
