Yinuo 20 years, in Chongyang Palace Yijing Garden practice for a long time, once the contract expired to leave Chongyang Palace, return to Jiuyang Valley Cheng Yunfan quite a sense of returning to the heart like an arrow, the sword flight does not stop, but more than an hour will arrive in his own Jiuyang Valley.

Everything was still the scene of the old days, but as soon as he entered the valley, a big bird with black red feathers flew towards him, croaking and croaking, circling a few times above his head before landing firmly on his shoulder, and pecking at Cheng Yunfan's neck with its pointed beak.

"Okay, Xiaohuo, you've grown up, you haven't seen you for more than twenty years, and you're actually in the middle of the second order. Cheng Yunfan smiled and patted the body of the fire crow, and the fire crow spread its wings and flew away with satisfaction.

As soon as Cheng Yunfan landed in the valley, Mu Wanqing had already come over, and said to him: "Senior, you are finally back, a few days ago, Senior Brother Zhang traveled down the mountain, saying that he was going to Longhu Mountain. ”

"Hmm!" Cheng Yunfan restrained the excitement he hadn't seen for many years, and said indifferently, "You have actually reached the eighth layer of Qi cultivation, and your cultivation is good, which is gratifying." ”

"This is naturally thanks to a small fire. Mu Wanqing said with surprise and joy. It turned out that after Xiaohuo woke up five years ago, once Mu Wanqing took Xiaohuo to meet a red-skinned snake outside the valley, watching Xiaohuo fight with him, Mu Wanqing actually had an epiphany and broke through the cultivation level that had been stagnant on the seventh floor.

For the disciple to go to Longhu Mountain, Cheng Yunfan knows that it is not so easy for this disciple's dust to be completely cut off, although he has no direct descendants, but the Heavenly Master Zhang family still occupies an important position in his heart, he has read a lot of Taoist classics in Chongyang Palace over the years, and naturally understands the genealogy and inheritance of the Heavenly Master Zhang family, fortunately, the emperor of the Song Dynasty worships Taoism, and their status is not as unbearable and embarrassing as before.

pointed out Mu Wanqing's questions about his cultivation, and gave him a flying sword with a high-grade spiritual weapon, as a means of transportation for him in the future, this girl is also wise, but she is proficient in three or five days. Cheng Yunfan pinched his fingers to calculate the time, and estimated what was going to happen. I secretly had a plan in my heart, and said to Mu Wanqing: "Miss Mu, you have been practicing in my Jiuyang Valley for more than 100 years, and your cultivation can be regarded as a small success, now go back to Dali to have a look, pay tribute to your former relatives, see your former homeland, and then go to Zhikong Mountain in Taoyuan County to secretly protect a monk who is known as the master of a lamp." ”

"Senior!" Mu Wanqing hesitated, she didn't understand what Cheng Yunfan's move meant, could it be that she saw that her cultivation was hopeless and wanted to drive her out of the valley, and she suddenly felt uneasy and reluctant in her heart.

"Listen to me, this lamp master was originally from your Dali royal family, and he has abdicated the throne as a monk, and he is also your grandchild. Cheng Yunfan said slowly, "He estimated that it would be a little troublesome after a while, and if an enemy came to the door, you would protect it secretly." ”

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing put her mind at ease, and naturally nodded in response, Cheng Yunfan continued: "When you go out of the valley this time, I still have to tell you three points. ”

"Seniors, please speak!," Mu Wanqing said very respectfully.

"You've been out of the mountains many times before, but this time it's different, because of the need for protection, you may fight against the enemy, and it's inevitable. So I still have to tell you again, first, you can't easily use this Taoist kung fu magic power in the mortal world; second, you can't use killing thoughts on mortals, just subdue them; third, don't expose your identity privately, be attached to Hongchen, and have too deep contact with your family. You should keep in mind these three points that you will be able to understand the truth when your cultivation time is not short. Alright, here you go. ”

After Cheng Yunfan said this, he waved his hand and returned to the cave mansion by himself, followed by the small fire flying around.

Seeing Mu Wanqing coming out of the valley, he let out a long sigh, there was only one person left in this Jiuyang Valley, fortunately, there was still a small fire, or it was really lonely.

"Why are you alone, have you forgotten my senior brother?" Lu Zhengyi's voice also came after he sighed to himself.

"Senior brother, you're always elusive. Cheng Yunfan was helpless.

"I can't help it, who knows when I'll wake up and when I'll fall asleep. Lu Zhengyi also felt helpless, and quickly said, "However, after waking up this time, I feel that I can basically control how to use my true element, that is to say, I can basically control when to wake up and when to sleep, although it is not very accurate, but at least I can control it a little." ”

"That's really good news. Cheng Yunfan also said happily.

Then took Lu Zhengyi to take a good look at Jiuyang Valley.

"You are really lonely alone, how about taking in a few more disciples?" Lu Zhengyi proposed.

"Where is it so easy. Cheng Yunfan pouted and said, "It's rare to meet people who have a medium-grade or above spiritual root, either they are Hongchen for too long and too old to practice, or they are ordinary people, and they can't practice." Rather than letting ordinary people go into the valley and watching them grow old and die slowly, and not be able to make progress in their cultivation, it is also a kind of torture, and I don't want to. ”

"That's right. Lu Zhengyi thought for a while and said, "You can go down the mountain more, maybe you can meet good spiritual root seedlings." ”

"This is not something that can be encountered by going down the mountain, depending on the chance. Cheng Yunfan nodded.

Now it is the Jiuyang Valley in the twilight of spring, all kinds of strange flowers and plants compete for beauty, and the sika deer of the family of three have multiplied to more than a dozen. If it weren't for the fear of damaging the environment in the valley too much and driving away some of them, it is estimated that there will be more. These sika deer are now very humane, and the oldest couple among them are all white, but they are still very healthy.

"These sika deer have no natural predators, and they live too freely. Cheng Yunfan said to himself. It's the same with people, after a long time, they will naturally lose their skills, and they will be much weaker against the enemy.

Seeing that Lu Zhengyi didn't reply for a long time, Cheng Yunfan also knew that he was asleep again, so he helplessly took out the beads in his arms and looked at them, but didn't say anything.

I thought that I hadn't been to the Jiuyang Stone Space for a long time, and only then did I enter the space, the black fox was still the same, and the spirit grass was still very good, and it was just a moment for these spirit grasses that often cost a hundred years or a thousand years.

Seeing that the task of the great benevolence on the inheritance token has been completely completed, and the superb spirit boat rewarded has also arrived, he happily began to sacrifice Yunzhou, but the sacrifice was completed in three or five days, and this is an important magic weapon of his Jiuyang Heavenly Sect in the future.

Now that he is back, there is a small fire, and he can naturally drive the essence and blood to cultivate the golden black quenching technique.

Now this fire crow has been able to perform a fire-breathing technique, but the power of the fire he spews out is average, naturally far from being comparable to the Great Sun Ancestral Flame, but its claws are also extremely hard, and the boulder can be broken with one claw, which is more than enough to deal with martial arts masters.

Besides, this guy also has a huge appetite, and almost all the demon pills he collected back then were almost eaten by him. After thinking about it, he still fed it the second-level golden scale python demon pill from the Xuantian Secret Realm, who knew that this demon pill would go down, Xiaohuo fell into a deep sleep, Cheng Yunfan saw this, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and put it in the spirit beast bag, he now knows that the advancement of demon beast cultivation does not rely on meditation, but automatically cultivates and advances in such a deep sleep.

After practicing for a few months, I felt that my exercises and spells were difficult to make breakthroughs and progress in the short term, and I thought that I should go out and walk around, but I didn't think that as soon as I got out of the pass, I saw Zhang Leixiao standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Master!" Zhang Leixiao hadn't seen Cheng Yunfan for more than 20 years, so he was naturally very excited, although he had been cultivating for many years, he still couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and his tone was filled with great joy.

When Cheng Yunfan saw the handsome and peerless Taoist in front of him, he remembered that he was young and not afraid of Bai Jiao, and saw that he had reached the peak of the ninth layer of Qi training, and he was also very pleased and said: "Yes, the cultivation has reached the ninth layer of Qi training, and after a period of time, you can retreat and impact the consummation, and then you can build a foundation in the future." It won't take much time, not to mention your uncle, even if you are the master, I will be overtaken by you. ”

Zhang Leixiao was said by the master, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yunfan naturally wanted to take her to the martial arts arena by the Seven Star Pond to test his kung fu, there was Xiaohuo at the peak of his qi practice before, which was more suitable for the school examination, but now Xiaohuo is asleep, and he has no choice but to take action.

After taking the test, I saw that his various exercises and spells were solid and excellent, and I was quite satisfied.

Zhang Leixiao began to tell about his success in these few trainings, and said that he killed a red dragon in the ancient county of Yuzhang this time, at the mouth of Poyang Lake, and brought the body and Neidan back, saying that it was left for Xiaohuo.

Cheng Yunfan naturally inquired about the situation, and learned that the red dragon already had a cultivation worthy of building a foundation, and he was also quite moved, thinking that his eldest disciple was really not covered, so he naturally praised it, and told him not to act too recklessly in the future, and to do what he could.

"Master, the disciple guessed that the red dragon must be the dragon that Xu Zhenren was trapped and suppressed back then, because of the suppression of thousands of years, his mana was greatly damaged, and the disciple got a bargain. Zhang Leixiao said and went to take out a gold-like copper pillar and said, "This is the copper pillar that trapped the red dragon, I think it has a lot of aura, so I brought it back and showed the master what kind of treasure it is?"

Cheng Yunfan first thought about Xu Zhenren in the mouth of his disciple, and was still hesitating, and the disciple reminded Xu Xun Xu Jingyang, and then he suddenly realized that the story of this famous Taoist in history who killed Jiaolong, he also heard that he didn't want to harm this kind of thing, it seems that there are real people and real things in historical legends.

Immediately took over this strange thing with chains that his disciple Lei Xiao denied, it seemed to be a little familiar, and before he could figure out anything, the Jiuyang stone ring on his hand emitted a dazzling purple light.

It seems that it is another divine object, and the light is still a rare purple, it seems that it can be exchanged for a lot of meritorious deeds, Cheng Yunfan has a plan in his heart, and asked Zhang Leixiao to rest for a few days and go out of the valley with himself to do things.

Zhang Leixiao nodded and went straight away.

Cheng Yunfan turned around and returned to the cave, entered the Jiuyang Stone space, handed over the treasures, and exchanged more than 170,000 merits, which was really a windfall, but it was a pity that he couldn't exchange any items now, and he had more urgent expectations for the exchange of items in his heart, and he really hoped that as soon as he woke up, the function would be restored.

I remembered that I had already built the foundation in the middle stage, and there was still a chance to draw a lottery, so I happily used it.

A bottle of elixir fell out, Cheng Yunfan couldn't laugh or cry, as a man, what's the use of this thing, it's just chicken ribs, it can't be chicken ribs anymore, could it be that his luck has really run out?

But it turned out that he was smoking a bottle of Zhuyan Pill.
