The Five Elements Continent is divided into three continents and five places, and the three continents are Lingyun Continent, Middle Continent, and Heavenly Demon Continent. The five places are the five elements continent and the natural danger of the Jedi, which is difficult for ordinary monks to reach, and is a forbidden place in the world.

In the vast land of Lingyunzhou, located in the northwest of a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, such as a dragon entrenched in the earth, halfway up the mountainside is surrounded by clouds on weekdays, vaguely and hazy do not know the true face of the mountaintop. This mountain is called Cangyun Mountain Range, although it is not a big mountain and famous river in Lingyun Continent, but there is also a kind of Zhong Lingqi, Cangyun Mountain Range is located in the northwest, so the four seasons are distinct.

On this mountain, there is also a second-rate superior sect in the cultivation realm - the Ethereal Sect, this sect has five peaks, from west to east, Luoxia Peak, Tianchi Peak, Ethereal Peak, Huoyun Peak, Chaoyang Peak.

Ethereal Peak, a special place of trial-Xuantian Secret Realm, is a space opened up by Xuanzun's powerhouses. An ordinary young man in the secret realm stood at the exit with a gloomy expression, looking at this world full of opportunities but far away from him, and his heart was extremely lost. This time, there was no harvest, not only did he not pick half of the valuable spirit grass, but he wasted the small number of spirit stones on his body in vain.

The young man sighed lowly, unintentionally admiring the beautiful scenery of this paradise, turned around and stepped into the teleportation array, the light flickered, and the young man's figure disappeared into the formation. Immediately, the familiar world appeared in front of him, "It's back!" The young man sighed, stepped out of the formation and prepared to leave with a lonely expression.

At this time, there were about a dozen people gathered at the entrance of the secret realm, some had just come out, and some were ready to enter the secret realm, most of them knew each other well, so they stayed here to greet each other.

Just as the boy was about to leave, a disgusting voice came into his ears. "Yo! Isn't this the first wonderful Ling Yifan of the Ethereal Sect? Don't be in a hurry to go, let's exchange the harvest of the secret realm together!"

Hearing this voice, Ling Yifan felt nauseous, this person's name is Li Xiujie, for some reason, he has been looking for trouble with him intentionally or unintentionally recently.

Ling Yifan glared at Li Xiujie in disgust, his heart was on fire, and he couldn't wait to press him to the ground and beat him up. However, he has only practiced the first order of qi, and this Li Xiujie is a cultivation of the eighth order, and he is only one step away from entering the ninth order.

This cultivation from low to high is to practice qi, concentrate the mind, enter the subtleties, accept the yuan, become mortal, yuan infant, enter the sanctification, and pass the mysteries... Each level of realm is divided into one to nine levels, one to three levels are the early stage, four to six are the middle stage, and seven to nine are the late stage are also called high-level monks. This guy can kill himself a hundred times with a single finger, although he is resentful in his heart, Ling Yifan can only hold back the anger in his heart.

Seeing that Ling Yifan was indignant, this Li Xiujie sneered and said: "Why? Unconvinced? It seems that the temper is not small, and it is really inconsiderate and not ashamed to cultivate the truth with this qualification." I don't know what the sect thinks, such goods are also included in the sect, it really tarnishes the reputation of the sect, if it spreads, I will think that I have no one in the ethereal sect!"

Then the voice changed, "By the way, did you come out with Yun Mengyao again in the secret realm last time?"

Ling Yifan replied coldly: "We came out together when we met them by the way, Senior Sister Yun is kind-hearted and approachable, unlike some people who show their teeth and claws, bullying the weak and fearing the hard!"

Li Xiujie sneered, "I advise you that this toad is still smarter and a little self-aware." ”

At this time, dozens of onlookers had already gathered around, pointing and discussing. Li Xiujie's piercing ridicule and ridicule were like a sharp knife stuck in his heart.

The resentful gaze seemed to pierce Li Xiujie's heart, not wanting to stay here and continue to be humiliated by him, Ling Yifan took a deep breath, forcibly endured the shame in his heart, and turned around and walked out of the crowd.

A light breeze came slowly, brushing his face, but it was as cold as a biting cold wind...

The shadow of the sun is slanting westward-

Huoyun Peak is a quiet place, where few people usually come, surrounded by green trees, a small meadow in the middle, and a shallow stream next to it. Flowing water flowed down from the mountain rocks high in the east, and under the impact of the water flow for many years, a pool of several zhang in size was formed, Ling Yifan was lying on a big stone by the waterhole, and he was often alone here in a daze.

Listening to the murmuring of water in your ears and watching the birds pass by in the sky, your heart is full of thoughts...

Thinking of Li Xiujie's humiliation and ridicule today, Ling Yifan's heart tingled, but he was helpless about it, he could only blame his own qualifications for being too poor and his strength was low.

In this continent of the five elements contains the magical elements of the five elements - metal, wood, water, fire, earth, every person on the continent will show different attributes of the qualification, and the quality of the qualification directly determines a person's achievements.

The fewer attributes a person's body contains, the purer the physique, the higher the qualification, and the easier it is to obtain higher achievements, which are divided into five grades from high to low, namely: excellent, superior, medium, ordinary and inferior qualifications. Strictly speaking, only intermediate or higher qualifications are more suitable for cultivation.

And Ling Yifan is an inferior qualification with five attributes, the worst kind of qualification in the world.

There is still more than a month before the new disciple's half-year assessment, but he is still at the first level of qi training, if he can't break through the qi cultivation by then, he can only be expelled from the mountain gate, thinking of this, Ling Yifan's heart became even more bored.

Just when Ling Yifan was depressed and troubled, a few miles away, a man dressed as an ordinary disciple of a sect looked at the ancient jade that exuded green light in his hand, and said in his heart: "This ancient jade rarely warns, unless there is around..."

When he muttered to himself, he spread out his divine sense and found that there was only Ling Yifan within a few miles of this radius, "Could it be him?"

Fang Cai didn't even realize that he was unaware of his divine sense, obviously his cultivation was far lower than his own, this man was very excited, he didn't expect to meet him here. If success is a great achievement, returning to the organization will inevitably take a step to the sky, the more this person thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, and he can't wait to escape to where Ling Yifan is.

Ling Yifan, who was immersed in boredom, did not know that a catastrophe was coming.

The man walked through the cover of the trees and came to Ling Yifan dozens of meters away, excited in his heart, and stepped out towards Ling Yifan. Because he was so excited, he accidentally stepped on a dead branch at his feet, and only a crisp sound of 'click' was heard in the silent grove, which woke up Ling Yifan in thought.

This person was also shocked, but even if he didn't care, Ling Yifan didn't find out that the result was the same.

Ling Yifan heard the sound and immediately got up, he had never seen anyone else here except himself. got up and looked at the visitor, it turned out to be an ordinary disciple of the sect, but when he glanced at the other party's eyes, his heart burst inexplicably. There was nothing wrong with it, Ling Yifan instinctively didn't want to stay here, and raised his leg to leave.

But how could this person let the beaked duck fly, and his figure flashed, blocking Ling Yifan's way.

Ling Yifan only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and a figure was blocking in front of him, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, just now this person was dozens of meters away from him, and he appeared in front of him in an instant, this speed is probably only possible with mortal cultivation to be so lightly described.

Ling Yifan suppressed the shock in his heart, and forced himself to speak calmly: "This senior brother, I don't know why you're blocking my way? ”

The person smiled coldly: "It's okay, I just want to ask you to borrow something!"

Ling Yifan was puzzled, but he still spoke: "Ask me what to borrow?"

"Fate!" The cold voice made Ling Yifan's heart tremble.

Ling Yifan was horrified in his heart, in his memory, he didn't know the person in front of him, let alone offend the other party, so he hurriedly spoke: "Fellow Daoist, did you recognize the wrong person? I don't know you!"

"Don't doubt it, it's you!" the cold tone did not have a trace of emotion.

After determining that the other party's target was himself, a wave of despair rose in Ling Yifan's heart, and he said as he stepped back: "This is within the Ethereal Sect, do you dare to violate the rules of the door?"

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it!" he said, raising his right palm to reveal his murderous intent.

Seeing this, Ling Yifan was afraid that his life was hanging by a thread today, so he hurriedly turned around and ran backwards, shouting, "Help, help!" Before he could run a few steps, he tripped over a stone under his feet and fell into a.

This person's face changed, "Look for death!"

Immediately afterwards, with a wave of palm, a fiery red palm shadow slapped towards Ling Yifan's heart, Ling Yifan only felt a strong force coming from his back, and at the same time, a scorching air flow rushed into his body, his heart shook violently, and the body that had just risen fell to the ground again.

This palm was extremely measured, but Ling Yifan was seriously injured and did not intend to kill him, and then took out the ancient jade and played a magic decision.

Ling Yifan, who should have been seriously injured and unconscious, got up from the ground again without any major problems, and his heart suddenly burst when he saw this person's strange movements.

The man was also shocked in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about why the other party was unscathed by his own blow, and hurriedly urged Gu Yu to emit a mysterious energy that enveloped Ling Yifan, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just when he was proud, his expression froze suddenly, and his eyes looked at the ancient jade in his hand in horror, no one knew better than him the special power of this ancient jade, but right now... But it's cracked...

Looking at the incredible scene in front of him, this person was frightened, and with the 'bang' of the ancient jade in his hand, the gray energy that could not be seen by the naked eye slowly dissipated between heaven and earth.

This person grabbed the law and wanted to run away, but he was shocked to find that his body could not move a bit, and the space around him seemed to be imprisoned.

"How is it possible? My true cultivation is in the late Yuan Infant stage, and I actually have no power to resist? Could it be that this seemingly weak guy in front of me is..."

Ling Yifan was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and at the moment when the mysterious energy emitted by the ancient jade enveloped him, he only felt as if his soul was about to withdraw from his body. At the critical moment, a strange force suddenly enveloped him, blocking the mysterious energy of the ancient jade, and the next thing he saw was this unbelievable scene.

Immediately after, a gray light shot out from Ling Yifan's body, as if a lightning bolt quickly swept by, and instantly submerged into the other party's forehead, the person didn't have time to scream, his frightened eyes gradually dissipated, his vitality gradually disappeared, and he fell to the ground.

The space around him returned to normal at the moment of the man's death, and Ling Yifan sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. He looked down at the bead pendant around his neck, this is the ancestral heirloom of the Ling family, Ling Yifan has worn it on his body since he was a child, and he has never found anything special. And the gray light that killed the opponent just now came from this orb, is there any secret to this orb?

There was no time to think about this, Ling Yifan quickly calmed down, but there was a more tricky matter to deal with in front of him. The body was still lying on the ground, and it would be troublesome if it was found. Let's not talk about how I escaped death, now that the disciples of the sect are dying in front of me, the ethereal sect must be thoroughly investigated, and I can't tell how I can at that time, and this strange orb can't be exposed.

However, if the body is destroyed and the traces are destroyed, the sect will have no trace to be found, and in the end it can only be stopped, because after that, you can go out to travel, if the great cultivation realm is innumerable, it is inevitable that there will be accidents, so the sect will generally tell the disciples not to stay too far away from the sphere of influence where the sect is located, in case of an accident, it is difficult to investigate thoroughly, and it is in vain to die if you die.

Thinking of this, Ling Yifan endured the nausea in his heart, and groped on this dead man, this kind of disciple who is not weak in cultivation generally has some good things on him, he doesn't take it for nothing, but he groped for nothing, and suddenly, a ring on his finger caught Ling Yifan's attention.

"It's really stupid, a disciple with a little strength in the sect will buy a space ring for storage, it is said that this thing is worth a lot of money!" Ling Yifan muttered to himself, and took the ring off casually.

In the end, Ling Yifan nervously sank the corpse into the pool, and only after making sure that no one found it was relieved, he said to himself: "I don't dare to come to this place in the future! ”

Glancing at the remnant sun that was about to fall, he muttered while touching the bead pendant that had saved him, and ran out of the woods without looking back...
