The secluded north, as always, is majestic and far-reaching.

After Zhang Fan left the Scripture Pavilion, he returned home against the wind, and it didn't take long to arrive at Youyan Island, thinking that he could get rid of Leng Yue, but who knew that as soon as he landed, Leng Yue also quickly landed in front of him.

"Zhang Fan, what's wrong with you? Am I so terrible? How did you escape from the Heavenly Abyss? Didn't you get attacked by spirit beasts?" Leng Yue asked one after another. Zhang Fan said lightly: "I didn't stay in Tianyuan for long, and I came out." ”

Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this, and said happily: "I see, I thought you were trapped in the beast tide and didn't come out." It's fine if you're okay. ”

Zhang Fan glanced at Leng Yue lightly and said, "Senior sister, please go back, I'm going home." As he spoke, he took out the token, opened the formation, and was about to enter.

"Wait!" Leng Yue said busily. Zhang Fan turned around and glanced at Leng Yue lightly, thought about it, and said, "If Senior Sister doesn't dislike the simplicity of the Hidden Mansion, please come in and sit down." As he spoke, he went into the mansion, and Leng Yue followed him into the mansion.

In the cave, in the palace. Zhang Fan and Leng Yue sat next to each other. Zhang Fan took out some spirit wine and spirit fruit that he had bought in the outside market from the storage ring to entertain Leng Yue, and the two of them tasted the spirit wine and were silent.

Leng Yue said: "Senior Brother Zhang, don't blame the elders in the sect for not accepting you as an apprentice. In fact, the monks with a spiritual root index of sixty were still in the upper reaches of the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect, and there were also many disciples in the sect who had not good spiritual roots who had cultivated to the twelfth level of qi cultivation. As long as you cultivate as hard as before, you will definitely achieve something. Zhang Fan drank silently and did not speak.

Leng Yue continued: "Senior brother, since that time you rescued the little sister from the mouth of the dragon shark. We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Last time, Xiaomei persuaded you to team up with everyone to experience it, for the sake of your safety, but Xiaomei didn't understand why Senior Brother refused to go thousands of miles away. What is on Senior Brother's mind?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "Senior Sister misunderstood. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Fan, cultivating immortals is a personal matter, whether it is silent meditation or discussing the Tao together, it is everyone's favor. ”

Leng Yue sighed: "Senior brother, are you still thinking about the past? According to what the little sister has heard, the qualification of cultivating immortals will only affect the cultivation of monks below the Jindan, and after the monks step into the Jindan Avenue. Monks and immortals each rely on chance and understanding. The world of cultivating immortals is originally a world where the weak eat the strong, and few people will give favors to others for no reason. Senior brother should have more contact with the outside world, until you are familiar with this world that is different from the mundane. You will find that you are actually similar to everyone else, everything is connected by cause and effect. The master and the free spirit stones, pills, and magic weapons are not all good things for the monk, and it is difficult to last long. Zhang Fan was silent.

Leng Yue continued: "Senior brother, are you still angry with your little sister that day?, or do you blame your little sister for not visiting your senior brother for a long time?" Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Senior sister said that she was laughing. Zhang Fan is a dignified man. How can you care about the little things? I just think it's weird. Senior Sister didn't even meditate in the mansion. ”

"Hmph, you don't know the hearts of good people!" Leng Yuejiao snorted, and seemed to complain a little about Zhang Fan. It's just that I don't know why she showed her little daughter at this time, which is really incomprehensible.

Zhang Fan suddenly remembered something, took out a jade box, handed it to Leng Yue, and said with a smile: "Hehe, thank you for the grace of the sword gift from the senior sister that day, which was obtained by the junior brother by chance." Please don't dislike it. ”

Leng Yue's face turned slightly red when she heard this, and said, "Why do I want your things?" Zhang Fan exclaimed: "Then ......"

"Bring it!" Leng Yue said as she snatched the jade box. Store in a storage bag. Zhang Fan was stunned.

Leng Yue smiled: "You think I'm an idiot? Zhang Fan came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "Senior sister likes it." It's just that the sword you sent to your junior brother that day has already been broken by the blue lake. ”

Leng Yue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then smiled: "It's okay, I'll give you another handful." As he spoke, he took out a thin sword and handed it to Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "Senior sister misunderstood, junior brother, I don't lack magic weapons, senior sister, please take it back." ”

"What!" Leng Yue exclaimed. Zhang Fan turned around and didn't look at her. Leng Yue said lightly: "Okay! This is what you said! Don't regret it!" she said and left quickly.

Zhang Fan hurriedly stepped forward to open the formation for her, and said apologetically: "Senior sister, forgive me......" However, Leng Yue left straight away from the wind, ignoring Zhang Fan.

"Hey!" Zhang Fan sighed. He didn't understand why Leng Yue treated him like this, could it be that she didn't follow him as a guest just because she wanted to care for her and repay her past kindness. It doesn't seem that simple.

"Boy, that's good! you can't die this time!" the voice of the old flame sounded in Zhang Fan's ears.

Zhang Fan looked up and saw Lao Dao suddenly appear again, his heart suddenly relaxed, ignoring his ridicule, but said with a smile: "The elder is really good, every time he appears like a ghost." If this is known, the good name of the elder will surely spread throughout the door. ”

Lao Dao smiled: "You kid, you have a good fortune and a good mouth." But it's good that you're safe and sound, otherwise Lao Dao's Flame Island will be a little colder in the future. Zhang Fan smiled: "Hehe, that's not because I'm extremely smart, kid, and I can predict the changes in heaven in advance." It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. ”

"Oh, no wonder. The old man smiled and said. Zhang Fan chuckled.

Lao Dao said again: "No wonder you found a fairy-like beauty at a young age. Zhang Fan exclaimed: "Old man, you actually peep at the master!"

Lao Dao scolded with a smile: "You kid, if I want to peep at you, don't talk about the secret of love, even if you blink a few times a day, you can't escape Lao Dao's divine sense." Zhang Fan said: "Okay, I know that you are powerful." But what are you sending here this time?"

Lao Dao smiled and said, "You kid thinks so beautifully!" Zhang Fan was stunned. Lao Dao continued: "Lao Dao is not here to send you something this time, but to collect debts. ”

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Although the elder said, how many low-grade spirit stones do you want? The kid is also a little wealthy, and eleven or twelve lower-grade spirit stones are not a problem." Lao Dao scolded with a smile: "You stingy boy, do you want to deal with Lao Dao like this?"

Zhang Fan was slightly stunned, pondered slightly, then took out three jade boxes and handed them over, and said apologetically: "Elder, this is the dragon blood fruit that the kid accidentally obtained in Tianyuan, it may be helpful to you." Lao Dao smiled: "Boy." I only need one, and you can take back the rest. ”

Zhang Fan said: "What do you say about the elder, since the kid gave the things to the elder." There is no reason to take it back. Hearing this, Lao Dao took the jade box, put it in the storage ring, and said with a smile: "Boy, thank you very much." Lao Dao was also cultivating in the mansion just now, and suddenly felt that you were coming back, I just came to see you, but who knew that you actually found the legendary dragon blood fruit. It is a strange fruit that helps the foundation building monks to break through the realm of Jindan. Although it is not a third-grade spirit fruit. But it's no worse than the three-grade spirit fruit at all. ”

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Elder is joking, right? The kid also ate one, but he only felt that the meridians had been doubled, and it didn't make his cultivation increase greatly." Lao Dao smiled: "You really don't know how to be blessed in the blessing." Ordinary monks will only broaden their meridians when they break through their cultivation. You have eaten strange fruits to broaden your meridians, and you still want to improve your cultivation, you are really insatiable. ”

Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Thank you for telling the elders." Lao Dao smiled: "Next, Lao Dao will retreat for a while." What do you need? Let's talk to the old man now. ”

Zhang Fan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Elder, the disciple's cultivation has improved too quickly, I hope to be silent for a period of time to polish my cultivation, and at the same time learn the art of alchemy, and now it is just a matter of alchemy." ”

"Good!" said the old man with a smile. As he spoke, he took out a blue and gray small ding, handed it to Zhang Fan, and said, "Boy." This is the best magic weapon refined by the old Dao - Qingyan Ding, although it is not a treasure weapon. But enough for you. ”

Zhang Fan took the furnace and thanked, "Thank you, Elder." Lao Dao smiled: "Lao Dao is gone." With that, he walked away quickly.

Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "Elder go slowly!" Unfortunately, the old road has already gone far, and I don't know if I can hear his words. Seeing this, he sat down, recognized Xiao Ding's blood as the master, put it into the Bibo Ring, ate another Bigu Dan, and then took out a few jade slips and studied them.

He first looked at the Small Gathering Spirit Formation and the Small Lost Trace Formation. These two formations are simple first-grade formations, and the small spirit gathering array can gather the aura of heaven and earth within a radius of ten zhang, and it requires nine lower-grade spirit stones to set up the array. As soon as the formation is completed, the aura of heaven and earth will be doubled within ten zhang.

The small trace formation requires eight lower grade spirit stones to arrange the formation, and the formation is one, and there is a dense fog within a radius of ten zhang, and it is difficult for outsiders to find the situation in the formation, which is a cheap defensive formation.

After Zhang Fan finished reading the jade slip, he took out some low-grade spirit stones and engraved the formation runes with spiritual power in the spirit stones one by one. While thinking back to the method and shape of the engraving of the spirit gathering array runes, he silently tried, thinking that he could succeed in one step, but who knew that he had only just started, and the runes that had not yet been engraved suddenly disappeared. He did not believe in evil and continued to engrave, and the result was the same. He gritted his teeth and tried again, but the spirit stone was still invalid.

"What a strange thing!" Zhang Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself. Then he tried again. The same result appeared, Zhang Fan said secretly: "Could it be that I'm anxious? Yes, it must be so, I should calm down, try silently, and continue to try as long as it doesn't succeed." Thinking about it, he continued to pick up the spirit stone and engrave it.

Time passed little by little, and the spirit stones were picked up by Zhang Fan and abandoned by him at will. Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and his face flushed slightly.

Zhang Fan originally thought that he had calmed down and concentrated on carving the spirit stone according to the description of the jade slip, and he would be able to succeed quickly, but who knew that he only engraved a part of the runes on the spirit stone, and the spirit runes that were just about to be engraved in the spirit stone always dissipated at a critical moment, and then the spirit stone aura also escaped, and the spirit stones were wasted by him.

"No! I must engrave runes on the spirit stone! Zhang Fan was sweating, his face gradually turned a little pale, but he still cheered for himself silently.

Time passed little by little, and the spirit stones that Zhang Fan took out turned into waste stones one by one, and he gradually gasped for breath in his mouth, but his eyes never left the spirit stones in his hand for a moment.

When the sweat formed a bowl of clear spring on the ground, a small air vortex suddenly appeared in Zhang Fan's hall, and a small piece of spiritual mist appeared. Zhang Fan said happily: "It's finally successful! It turns out that this engraving of runes can't be stopped, and it needs to be done in one go." ”

His mind moved, and the spiritual mist around the spirit stone in his hand disappeared. Zhang Fan gasped and said, "I want to make persistent efforts and engrave the remaining eight pieces." As he spoke, he put aside the successfully engraved spirit stone and continued to pick up the spirit stone and engrave it.

As the spirit stones on the ground gradually disappeared, Zhang Fan's slightly pale face gradually turned pale. After a few sighs and a few laughs, when there were only three spirit stones left in front of Zhang Fan, the spirit stones in his hand gave birth to a cyclone for the ninth time.

Zhang Fan hurriedly sealed the rune, his heart was overjoyed, and he said in a somewhat weak voice: "...... The ninth piece, I ...... I ......"

"Bang!" Unfortunately, before Zhang Fan finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a pale smiling face stained with sweat, unconscious. (To be continued......)
