Zhang Fan's sword fell into the water and sank to the bottom of the pool, he was a little ashamed, he wanted to sum up his experience and continue to practice, but just as he was about to sit at the bottom of the pool, ready to recover, the cool mutated Xuanming True Yuan gradually filled his body. He was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It's really a strange thing, I haven't taken the initiative to recover, and the true yuan in the dantian has automatically increased!" Thinking of this, with full doubts, his divine sense entered his body and investigated. His face gradually changed from surprise to joy.

In the distant and mysterious dantian space, the original colorful spiritual clouds have long disappeared, and a pool of faint blue floating clear pools is floating in the void, and the surrounding area is filled with endless colorful spiritual mist, which is weird. In the dark blue clear pool, nine whirlpools rotated endlessly in the shape of nine palaces, and wisps of sky blue air currents rose from above the whirlpool one after another, submerging into a deep and strange whirlpool in the void, and at the same time, there were streams of blue air flowing out of another whirlpool in the void, merging into the dark blue whirlpool. Time passed, the whirlpool turned faster and faster, and the floating spring became bigger and bigger, and Zhang Fan also felt that the true yuan he had consumed was recovering little by little.

He was puzzled and thought to himself, "How can there be such a bizarre thing in the world? I used the True Yuan, and I didn't even have to do it myself, and the True Yuan was automatically restored! I must have not figured out something, and I had to study it carefully, in case I really found a way to make cultivation grow without cultivation, wouldn't it be beautiful?" Yes, that's it!" Thinking about it, he threw himself into the dantian space and studied it carefully over and over again. However, there is a saying that if you don't pay, you can't get anything back. Wishful thinking and greed for convenience will only make you lose more in the end.

Just as Zhang Fan was studying the method of making the true yuan automatically recover, the two girls Narcissus and Shui Hua probed with their divine senses. While calling Zhang Fan. With anxious expressions on their faces, they walked up and down the house, hesitating. At last. The two girls searched for Zhang Fan to no avail and returned to the house. Shui Hua was full of frustration, and said to Narcissus: "Senior sister, it's all my fault, I asked my junior brother to learn the method of imperial sword, but he doesn't know where he went, and he can't find it." Narcissus sighed softly. said: "Senior sister, don't look for it for the time being." If we miss this breakthrough opportunity, we don't know when we will be able to break through the middle stage of foundation building next time. ”

Shui Hua said: "That senior sister." If the junior brother comes back, will he complain that we don't come to see him off? Narcissus said lightly: "Senior sister, don't worry. We left a message talisman for the junior brother and explained the situation to him. Time is running out. Let's retreat. "The splash is helpless. I had no choice but to agree. Then the two girls hurriedly left the messenger jade talisman, left the wooden house, and flew towards the end of the valley.

At the bottom of the pool, Zhang Fan studied for a long time, until the true yuan was completely restored, but he didn't find the way to make the true yuan automatically recover, a little frustrated, and said secretly: "Strange thing." My true yuan is obviously automatically restored, why can't I find a way to automatically restore my true yuan? God is playing with me!" The black sword had returned to Zhang Fan's side. The sword spirit understood the master's distress and said, "Master, don't think about it. How could an ordinary monk obtain the true yuan without relying on cultivation? Zhang Fan asked: "Lao Hei, but the master is not an ordinary person." Didn't you see that I used up the True Yuan, and without making a move, the True Yuan took the initiative to recover?" In this world, only the legendary peerless ghosts with the spirit devouring god body can have true yuan to use without relying on cultivation. It's a pity that the master can't have that kind of divine body. The reason why you quickly recovered the true element after using up the true element was because you were baptized by the Xuan Ming True Water the day before yesterday, and the acupoints around your body were full of Xuan Ming True Yuan. Previously, the true yuan of the dantian was exhausted, and the true yuan in the acupoint was automatically replenished into the dantian. ”

Zhang Fan was disappointed when he heard this, and sighed: "Oh, the little master originally thought that he was only one step away from the ghost talent, but who knew that he was happy in vain!" The sword spirit said: "Master, you still hurry up and practice the method of the sword, otherwise when you are besieged by many foundation building monks, your two fists will be invincible to four hands, and your life will be in danger." Zhang Fan sighed slightly, shook his head, took the black sword, jumped forward, and went upstream.

He got out of the pool, no longer pursued miscellaneous matters, and concentrated on learning the sword. This time, he was no longer reckless, his mind moved, he let the black sword hang in the air, jumped onto the sword, controlled the flying sword, and slowly tried it in the valley. The method of the sword is only a branch of the method of the Imperial Weapon of the Tsukiji Monk, and it is also a spell that everyone can use, and the principle is not complicated, and it can even be said to be very simple. Zhang Fan tried again and again, from standing tremblingly on the sword and flying slowly, to moving his mind, approaching the flying sword, and traveling in light, it only took one day.

Zhang Fan was familiar with the method of flying with a sword, and also learned the method of fighting the enemy and defending the sword. In fact, the essence of Edgeworth's art lies in Edgeworth's confrontation with the enemy. However, this method is a profound method of the sword, easy to learn and difficult to master, Zhang Fan according to his own practice of the Son of Heaven swordsmanship, practice for a day, and basically master the skills of the sword in the sky. As for the "one heart moves, and kills the enemy thousands of miles away." The clever sword method, but Zhang Fan never understood.

Regarding advanced sword skills, Zhang Fan learned the actual situation from the sword spirit, and he was not in a hurry for the time being. It turns out that the magic of the clever sword is extraordinary, and it is often the unique secret skill of sword cultivation, and it will not be passed on. If Zhang Fan wants to learn the advanced sword technique, that is, the so-called sword technique, he has to learn from the clever sword cultivator. However, according to the current situation, he is unconditional.

Time is like water, two days have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Fan learned the method of flying with the sword and the basic method of fighting the enemy and defending the enemy. That morning, he had practiced his sword for a while, and was recovering on his knees by the pool.

After a while, as a mouthful of white mist flew out, Zhang Fan slowly opened his eyes, a touch of golden light shot out of his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on his face, obviously recovering well.

Just as Zhang Fan got up with his sword and was about to continue practicing his sword, a "buzzing" wind suddenly sounded in the valley. He was horrified in his heart, turned around and looked, and saw a spiritual mist quickly surging towards the interior of the valley, and said secretly: "Could it be that there is a rare elixir ripe in the valley?

"No, how can there be so much aura gathering? Could it be that something is going on at the bottom of the valley? should I go and see?" Zhang Fan exclaimed, "No, I'll go back to the house and discuss it with the two senior sisters." Thinking of this, he walked quickly into the house.

However. When Zhang Fan came to the house, he looked around, but the formation was not opened in several wooden houses. But I didn't see the two senior sisters. Zhang Fan felt strange, and when he returned to the hall, he found two jade slips on the table. He picked up the jade slip and probed it, and after a while, he understood what was going on.

It turned out that after Narcissus and Shui Hua cultivated with Xuanming True Water for the first time, they felt that the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building, which had been silent for many years, was about to break, and they had to go to the secret room at the bottom of the valley to retreat and cultivate, impacting the middle stage of foundation building. They explained the situation to Zhang Fan, and at the same time told him how to open the formation. Zhang Fan said secretly: "Hey." I was so confused that I didn't explain the situation to the two senior sisters in advance. Now that the two senior sisters are concentrating on cultivation, I originally wanted to ask them about the cultivation method of the foundation building period. Now it seems impossible. During the foundation building period, the bottleneck was broken, and the aura learned was quite a lot, and it could be completed in two or three days. Now I've been in the secret realm for eight days, and the secret realm will be closed in three days. But you can't stay here. ”

He shook his head. sighed, went out of the house, and saw that the aura was still converging towards the bottom of the valley, and his heart moved, and he said to himself: "No, if I don't say goodbye like this, it's too inappropriate." So saying, he went back to the house. Take out a piece of jade slip and leave a message. Fang turned to leave.

Zhang Fan walked out of the house. With a move in his mind, Edgeworth came to the outside of the valley, reluctantly glanced at the quiet valley behind him, and said, "The two senior sisters want to cultivate in the secret realm, but I can't. The only way I got the Xuanming True Water Recipe was the method from the first level of Qi cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, and Jing Yi promised me to wait for me at the outer layer of the secret realm. I have to leave the secret realm, hey!" he sighed, his mind moving, and he silently recited the mantra, and his divine sense came out, revealing a passage in the fog ahead. Zhang Fan no longer hesitated and left quickly.

After a while, Zhang Fan came out of the fog, and Edgeworth came to the sky above the Peak Sea, and reluctantly looked at the smoky valley below for a while, and then Edgeworth flew south. The girl Zhang Fan met on the way to the secret inner layer-Jingyi is waiting for him in the outer layer of the secret world. Although he didn't have too deep feelings with Jingyi, since he promised her, he naturally wouldn't break his promise and leave alone.

Zhang Fan traveled all the way to the south, and also collected some first- and second-grade elixirs, killed some spirit beasts that were not long-eyed, and came to the secret outer layer in half a day. After a while, Zhang Fan came to the top of the market where the hunters' meeting was located, and his heart moved, and he fell.

Zhang Fan looked around and found that the Fang City was much more deserted than when he left, and the gate of the Hunters' Guild was still open, but there were not many monks coming and going. When they saw the arrival of the foundation builders, they only saluted slightly, without words, and left in a hurry. Zhang Fan felt strange in his heart, his divine sense enveloped the surrounding neighborhoods, and suddenly the scenes within a radius of one mile appeared in Zhang Fan's mind one by one. His face gradually turned cold, and a sense of emotion could not help but welling up in his heart.

It turned out that the neighborhood was in dilapidation all around, the original towering ancient trees were now only bare stumps, and most of the lively street shops were closed, and the whole neighborhood was in a mess and mottled with blood.

Zhang Fan sighed slightly, his mind moved, he took out a delicate communication jade slip, his mind moved, and sent a divine message to Jing Yi, telling her that she had come to the Hunters' Guild. Immediately, he walked towards the hall of the trade union, intending to exchange the fur and bones of the first-grade spirit beast he had obtained during this period of time with spirit stones, and buy some elixirs for alchemy.

After a while, Zhang Fan came to the trade union hall, glanced at the only one in the hall who was sitting at the counter and was sleepy, and stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, can you help me see how many spirit beasts these spirit beast materials are worth?" Lao Dao shook his head, opened his sleepy eyes, sighed, stood up, and said, "This Dao brother, do you really plan to sell it? During this time, too many spirit beasts have died, and the price of animal skins is generally not high. If the quality of the spirit beast materials you sell is not good, we may not accept them. ”

Zhang Fan glanced at Lao Dao lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, give me the math!" said a terrifying momentum that instantly enveloped Lao Dao. Lao Dao was shocked by this sudden momentum, his face turned white instantly, fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he said in panic: "Seniors forgive sins! Seniors forgive sins! Seniors forgive sins! The disciple doesn't know that the seniors are coming, and he doesn't mean to snub the seniors......" Zhang Fan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and said lightly: "Give me the spirit stone!"

"Good, good, good......" The old man's heart turned from sorrow to joy when he heard this, and he agreed. He trembled his hands, didn't dare to look at Zhang Fan anymore, hurriedly took the storage bag, and calculated tremblingly, but his face was white for a while, red for a while, and sweat was dripping down.

Zhang Fan saw that the old man didn't speak for a long time, and said, "Fellow Daoist, what's the matter? Is there a problem with what I gave you?" The old man said in horror when he heard this: "Seniors forgive sins! Seniors forgive sins! During this time, most of the spirit stones of the union were used to purchase spiritual materials......

"What!" Zhang Fan said in surprise. The old man said in a panic: "Senior, the union really can't get enough spirit stones!" Zhang Fan frowned, and said secretly: "Since the union has purchased spiritual materials, I am afraid that it has also purchased a lot of spiritual pills and spirit beast inner pills." I'm going to buy an alchemy elixir, so why do I need to go elsewhere?" he thought of this, and he already had a plan in his heart. The old man saw that Zhang Fan's face was uncertain, and he often showed a weird smile, and he was terrified.

Zhang Fan glanced at the pale old man and said lightly: "That's it, since you don't have enough spirit stones, I don't want to embarrass you." You can use the elixir that is more than a hundred years old as collateral. The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and said gratefully: "Thank you seniors! Thank you seniors! The juniors will go to ......."

"Wait!" Zhang Fan stopped the old man and said, "Both the elixir and the spirit beast inner pill will do." Every elixir is required, don't fool me with those common elixirs!" The old man hurriedly said: "Seniors don't worry, even if the juniors eat leopard gall, they don't dare to fool the seniors." The spiritual materials obtained by the seniors are worth 480,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and the juniors will exchange them for second-grade elixirs for you. With that, he quickly left.

Zhang Fan glanced at the back of the old man leaving, and waited at the counter. At this time, an exclamation came from outside, it was Jingyi. She said, "Senior brother, you are really here!" Zhang Fan turned around and saw Jingyi running forward with a smile and throwing herself into her arms.

Zhang Fan hurriedly helped Jingyi up from his arms and said, "Jingyi, I've kept you waiting." When Jing Yi heard this, her eyes were full of tears, and when she smiled, a few drops of jade dew fell, and she said, "Senior brother, it's okay." I've found the second senior brother. Tears flowed down her cheeks. Zhang Fan hurriedly asked, "Why are you crying?" Jing Yi shook her head, and then fell into Zhang Fan's arms and sobbed in a low voice.

"Senior, your elixir is ready!" came the voice of the old man who had left earlier. Zhang Fan turned around and saw that the old man was smiling and handed over the storage bag, he was slightly suspicious, he didn't understand why the old man had changed so much, but he couldn't understand the reason for it for the time being, so he had to take the storage bag, take a look, and put it away.

The old man smiled and said, "Senior, junior can only provide you with these first-grade peak beast pills, elixirs, and ginseng that are more than two hundred years old. As for the other second-grade elixirs and beast pills, the juniors really don't have them here. For this, the younger generation is deeply sorry. However, the junior has already prepared 180,000 medium-grade spirit stones for you, and you can participate in tonight's auction meeting. When the time comes, foundation-building seniors like you will participate, and there will be the second-grade elixir and beast pill you need. Zhang Fan frowned again when he heard this, and said, "Really?" The old man smiled: "How dare the juniors deceive the seniors? This is the senior's VIP jade card, and the seniors can come to participate in the auction held by the Beast Hunter Guild at that time." As he spoke, he handed over a jade plaque.

Zhang Fan glanced at the old man lightly, took the jade card, and said lightly: "Okay!" The old man smiled: "Then the juniors will congratulate the seniors on returning with a full load." Zhang Fan thought to himself in his heart, and thought: "This old man is not simple, he seems to look down on me a little." Not really, though. That's it, I'm too lazy to talk to him, let's talk about it in the evening. Thinking of this, he left with Jingyi.

When the old man saw Zhang Fan leaving, the smile on his face was gone, a dazzling cold light appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Zhang Fan, it turned out to be you." Offended my son-in-law, and dared to spread wild on his territory, hum!" After speaking, he glared at the empty temple door again, and then walked back with a sneer. (To be continued......)
