No one needs to help with this matter, but without Chu Xi, it is absolutely impossible. Chu Xi is not only a jack of all trades, but also has a ...... in his hands Or maybe her master still has that precious map of the Nine Separation Cave Heaven in his hand.

Lingyi carried Li Hong and Chu Xi, who were dressed in black night clothes, and quickly crossed the dark blue night sky. The destination is the Valley of the Soul of the Forbidden Land.

The name of the Valley of Rejuvenation sounds amazing, and many disciples thought that there was something strange about the valley itself when they first heard it, such as that a person can be revived when he dies and puts it in it. Actually, that's not what it means at all. The reason why it is called the Valley of Returning Souls is because there is a peculiar maple forest of Returning Souls in the valley.

Soul Returning Maple, an ancient strange tree, must grow near the fire veins of the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit Eye. The seed germinates in a thousand years, grows into a small sapling in a thousand years, and grows to the thickness of the mouth of the bowl in another thousand years. After that, it must grow for another 3,000 years before the precious sap grows. In other words, the rejuvenating maple can only be grown in 10,000 years.

The sap born is a treasure of heaven and earth, has the power of resurrecting the dead to mortals, and is the main medicine of many elixirs, which has the ability to return to the sky, so it is called "Soul Maple".

A tens of thousands of years of rejuvenating maple only produces a dozen drops of sap a year, and the old rejuvenating maple will produce more sap. However, a rejuvenating maple will bloom after more than 20,000 years, and each plant will only bear three or five flowers. The flowers are as big as a wheel, the fragrance is incomparable, the flowering period is as long as ten years, and after the flower fails, it bears a fruit, and there is only one seed in it. When the seed hits the ground, the Rejuvenating Maple will die.

Because the Rejuvenating Maple is extremely difficult to grow, the growth period is too long, and not every seed will sprout, this Rejuvenating Maple Forest in the Rejuvenating Soul Valley is expanding extremely slowly.

The whole body of the Soul Returning Maple is a treasure, the sap is a treasure, even the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are all treasures, it is said that there is only such a small piece in the Nine Separation Cave Heaven in the entire cultivation world. The existence of this Soul Returning Maple Forest is a high-end secret of the Nine Departure Sects, and it is kept secret from the cultivation realm, and only a few leading figures of the Immortal Sect know about it.

The preciousness of the Soul Returning Maple can be imagined, and it is not unusual for such a place to be listed as a forbidden place in the door.

One of the main medicines prescribed by the Heavenly Candle is the Rejuvenating Maple Sap. In order to help Tianzhu, Li Hong had no choice but to break the door rules again and be a thief stealing medicine. To be a thief, you naturally need to pull Chu Xi to help.

Chu Xi agreed, and once again "obtained" the precious map from his master. Before leaving, the two carefully studied the map and found that the Soul Returning Valley was near the Lihuo Cave, less than a hundred miles away from Jiuli Peak. There are so many eyes and ears that I can't say it, so I have to take the method of sneaking into the fire formation last time and make a detour to approach.

Flying and flying, the wind gradually smelled of fiery sulfur. In the distance, a mountain erupted in flames. It was as if an eternal fire dragon was spewing fiery red dragon breath into the sky.

It's the fire hole, and I almost fell into it last time.

Li Hong squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and behind him Chu Xi suddenly pinched his waist hard, Li Hong was itchy and numb, and just wanted to ask why, he heard Chu Xi pointing to the bottom and whispering: "The Soul Valley has arrived!"

A deep valley, two peaks face each other, surrounded by three peaks, only a long and narrow line of sky remains, and nothing can be seen clearly in the valley. Li Hong told Chu Xi to be careful, his heart turned at will, and the imperial envoy Lingyi quietly circled around - check the terrain first.

There was a faintly fluttering bean-like light at the mouth of the valley, and in the darkness Li Hong saw the outline of a stone house, and the light was shining through the window of the west wing of the stone house. Li Hong didn't dare to approach, his toes paused, and Lingyi turned to the back of the valley. There is a cliff, which is ten thousand feet high, but there are flying swords, and no matter how terrible the natural danger is, it is like walking on the ground.

The two soon landed in front of the cliff. In front of me is the rare Soul Maple. They were immediately stunned by the beautiful spectacle of the Rejuvenating Maple.

It couldn't be seen from the sky, but when it landed in front of the Soul Returning Maple Forest at this moment, it was found that the trunk of the Soul Returning Maple was faintly glowing at night.

This rejuvenating maple is less than a hundred, and it grows very much from each other, spreading towards the mouth of the valley. Each adult rejuvenating maple is about 100 feet tall, and the straight trunk does not begin to fork until it is very high, and the trunk and branches of the whole tree actually glow slightly in the night, and the color is clearly divided into two types. Some of them are obviously younger, with thinner branches, as green as emerald, while others are older, the thickness of a bucket, as golden as gold. It is not until the treetops that dense foliage grows. The leaves do not glow, and the five-lobed palm-shaped leaves are identical to those of a normal maple tree, but much larger.

The green and golden light shines through from the branches of the rejuvenating maple, which is slightly transparent, and you can clearly see the veins in it. It's so beautiful that no brush can paint it. There is a very thin white line in the center of the vein of several golden old maple trees nearby, and the appearance of this white line means that this rejuvenating maple contains precious sap.

Chu Xi was amazed, first came back to his senses, pushed Li Hong hard, made a gesture, and signaled to start acting.

Li Hong said to her: "Take it out, I'll do it, you sentry." ”

Chu Xi nodded, pulled the spirit rhino bag in his waist and began to touch it, first took out a knife and handed it to Li Hong, Li Hong just nodded approvingly, but saw Chu Xi follow and handed over several jade bottles.

Li Hong suddenly smiled bitterly. This Chu Xi is still very greedy, and she knows that she wants to be as good as possible.

Needless to say, this knife is also a treasure of Lingxiangzi, and it was brought by Chu Xi.

It is extremely difficult to cut the sap of the rejuvenating maple, the trunk is very hard, comparable to jasper, and you can't use knives made of materials such as five elements of gold, iron and jade, otherwise the sap will deteriorate and fail. This knife is made of 10,000-year-old Jiaoya, and it just doesn't enter the five elements.

Li Hong only took one small jade bottle, and threw the other two back into Chu Xi's arms.

Chu Xi was unwilling, gritted his teeth and made many strange appearances, the meaning could not be clearer - no, if you want to steal, steal more.

Li Hong was helpless and decided to mix it up first. He said angrily: "How many hands do you think I have? Take it first, and I'll take it when it's full." ”

Chu Xi stopped talking.

The two of them tiptoed towards the nearest golden maple.

He easily walked in front of the old maple, and in the blink of an eye, Li Hong had already put his knife on the white line on the trunk of the tree. It's just that I was very surprised in my heart, such a precious Soul Returning Maple, not only is there no prohibition here, how can there not even be a small spirit beast to guard it?

It's a bit weird. However, his subordinates still didn't stop, and the spiritual power penetrated through the knife, and the sharp Jiaoya knife cut into the white line like cutting tofu.

Just waiting to cut out a long slanted cut mark to catch the sap. Suddenly, a strange, dull roar sounded in my ears. It's like there's a cow roaring next to you.

The strange cow roar is getting louder and louder, and it turns out to be this rejuvenating maple under the knife roaring!

Li Hong's hand shook in shock, and the knife fell to the ground.

"Who trespassed into the Valley of the Soul!" someone at the mouth of the valley shouted. In just seven words, when it comes to the last word Guzi, the sound is close at hand.

Li Hong broke out in a cold sweat, leaned over and picked up the Jiaoya knife, and jumped up after pulling Chu Xi through Lingyi.

A familiar voice came into his ears: "Don't panic, I'll block him, you act quickly!"

Li Hong was overjoyed, Yun Jiuzi really came to help as promised. He jumped off Lingyi, and said to Chu Xi, who was panicked and puzzled: "Let's continue to do ours, the helper is here!"

Chu Xi still didn't believe it, Li Hongbi made a "nine" number gesture, she suddenly understood, took out the jade bottle with a smile and ran back.

As the knife cut in, the roar of this rejuvenating maple grew louder and louder, like an angry old cow howling.

Cold sweat broke out on Li Hong's forehead, and only then did he understand why the extremely precious Soul Returning Feng didn't need to be guarded at all.

As long as someone moves a knife on the Rejuvenating Maple, it will scream by itself!

But I heard a series of magic weapons striking each other in the distance, and an unfamiliar voice shouted: "Who are you!

This master is obviously not at the same level as Yun Jiuzi, and he has fallen behind in one move, if it weren't for Yun Jiuzi not wanting to take his life at all, he would have finished playing a long time ago. Aware of this, the man's voice sounded anxious and angry.

Yun Jiuzi didn't say a word, but his subordinates were obviously not slow at all. The man asked in a loud voice, his voice growing more and more angry.

Li Hong is dual-minded, not only to pay attention to whether there are helpers coming over, but also to continue to cut the soul maple juice. Fortunately, the long cut had already formed, and milky white juice began to ooze out of the wound one by one. Chu Xi hurriedly pressed the small jade bottle against the low part of the cut mark, and a drop of precious juice slowly dripped in.

After receiving fifteen drops, the extremely thin white line on the trunk of the rejuvenating maple tree had disappeared, and the roar of the cow in his ears was lowered. The sap of this rejuvenating maple has been taken.

Li Hong was about to leave, but Chu Xi snatched the knife in his hand without saying a word, rushed to another golden old maple and began to cut the sap again.

Again sounded like a cow roaring.

Chu Xi had no fear, and kept gloating at Li Hong. After this one was taken, she ran to another golden old maple.

Li Hong didn't stop him the previous time, but this time he was anxious: "It's enough! Let's go!"

Chu Xi was confident, and it wasn't until she finished cutting the third rejuvenating maple sap that she quickly put all the items into the spirit rhino bag and jumped on Ling Yi to hug Li Hong's waist.

How dare Li Hong stay longer, he rose with his sword and quickly went away.

In the Soul Returning Maple Forest, Yun Jiuzi and his two children did not fall behind at all. Elder Yao heard the three Rejuvenating Maples roaring one after another, and his heart became more and more angry.

Gu Nei has already cut the soul maple juice once this year, and the last five plants are kept for emergency use, and the person who stole the medicine is so ruthless, he cut three plants at once! It is unbearable! And the gang on the other side has a very high cultivation, and he has turned the late stage of the Dan into a pair of two early stage children of the Golden Pill are not opponents, it is too terrible, I think it must be a traitor to this sect, the matter is serious, and the head of the sect must be immediately reported to bring someone to arrest him!

He took out his hand in his busy schedule, and took out a Zhang transmission note from his arms, and the spiritual power ignited, and the transmission note turned into a yellow bird, flapping his wings and sneaking into the sky.

The yellow paper bird went extremely fast and almost caught up with Li Hong, who retreated first. At this moment, an abrupt black light as fast as lightning suddenly passed through, and the yellow paper bird disappeared immediately.

A few stars of black ash slowly fell.

Chu Xi kept looking back. She was afraid that some pursuers would catch up, and she happened to see this scene. The sky was dark blue, and the black light was extremely impressive because he had seen it before, even if it was just a flash, it was still distinguished by the sharp-eyed Chu Xi.

She exclaimed, "It's him!"

The person who led the guards away outside the fire array was actually Yun Jiuzi, and Yun Jiuzi had already paid attention to Li Hong long before he and Li Hong officially met.

Chu Xi pondered.

Until they returned to the Green Building, the two hurriedly changed into the night clothes of thieves and came out to meet each other, and Chu Xi never said a word.

Li Hong thought it was because of the previous reprimand, and just wanted to apologize, but Chu Xi told him about the black light, and said sincerely: "Brother Chu Hong, although Yun Jiuzi is very good to you, he has long been aware of the intention to make friends, but he is afraid of bad intentions." ”

Li Hong didn't think so at all. He and Yun Jiuzi hit it off at first sight, even if Yun Jiuzi had noticed him before, it was because of the "Six Spirits Xianyi Jue", and now he knew that the owner of the black light was Yun Jiuzi, and he was more at ease.

There are some secrets in this-such as the truth of the grievances between Tiandanzi and Jiulimen, the origin of Yue Que, and the incomplete map of the Ancient Immortal Mansion, he didn't tell Chu Xi, no wonder she thought so.

This girl is thoughtful and the most trustworthy person, Li Hong thought about it, called Chu Xiong over, and simply told the two of them everything he knew. At the end, he instructed: "These things must not be spread." He turned to Chu Xi and said, "I know that you have a very good relationship with Uncle Ling Xiangzi, but I still ask you to keep it secret." ”

Chu Xi said unequivocally: "Senior brother, don't worry, these secrets are too amazing, I will never confide half a word to the master." Guaranteed!"

Li Hong nodded slowly, took out the mutilated map from the "Qiankun Kui" and handed it to Chu Xi, and said, "You take a look first, if you see similar objects in the future, you will know what to do." One day, we will put together the map, think about it, the Ancient Immortal Mansion, how many good treasures are in it!"

Chu Xi was very moved, and his eyes gradually flashed with silver light. She touched the broken map in her hand and choked up, "Senior brother, you are so good to me. ”

She knew very well that Li Hong didn't have to tell herself about the map at all, such a great benefit, he could pay attention to his own benefit. I remembered that in the past few years since he entered the mountain gate, he has always been very good to himself, he has a magic weapon and a spirit pill, he thinks about himself, and he has saved his life. Now I'm confessing all my secrets to myself again. What does this mean?

Unconsciously, his face was hot, and his heart was bumped like a deer. Afraid that Li Hong would find out, she peeked and saw that he was talking to Chu Xiong, so she quickly lowered her head and looked at the map in disguise.

For some reason, Li Hong's eyes were not on her, but Chu Xi was a little disappointed...... In an instant, all kinds of tastes passed through her heart, and this clever girl was entangled for the first time.

The candle flame flickered, and the Chu Xi under the lamp was moving, and the mutilated map trembled slightly in her hand, but even she didn't realize it.
