In the northwest corner of Huachen, in a large canyon adjacent to Huachen Peak, the yin atmosphere is pervasive all year round, and ghosts cry wolves. It is rich in spiritual grass and spiritual materials, and at the same time, there are also evil spirits everywhere. Disciples in the Qi refining period have no return, and ordinary foundation building disciples, as long as they can kill the three-headed evil ghosts, be a little more careful, and do not enter the core place, they can successfully collect a large number of elixirs and come out.

Ghost cultivation is graded according to the number of heads, the three heads below are ghost soldiers, which are equivalent to human qi refining and cultivation; the three heads are ghost captains, which are equivalent to human foundation building monks; the four heads are generals, equivalent to Jindan; the five heads are kings, equivalent to the Yuan Infant; the six heads are handsome, equivalent to the gods; the seven heads are sacred, which is equivalent to the combination; the eight heads are the emperors, which are equivalent to the tribulations; and the nine heads are Wuji, which are equivalent to the human Mahayana monks.

On the periphery of Yin Wind Valley, there are a small number of three-headed evil ghosts, and their power is not very strong, and the foundation building monks can generally be killed, especially the monks of the fire wood attribute spirit root, after entering, they do not enter the core, and they are almost unimpeded.

Halfway up the mountain at the mouth of the valley, a gap several zhang in size kept tumbling, and no matter how lush the yin qi around it was, this gap never closed.

On this day, a huge flying boat shot out, and the word Huachen was particularly conspicuous at the head of the flying boat. The boat shone and landed on a rock in the valley. Immediately after, more than twenty high-ranking monks rushed out.

"Lord Envoy, this is my Huachen's Yin Wind Valley. ”

"Yin Wind Valley, why have I never heard of it, there doesn't seem to be such a place during the East Pole Gate period, right?" Yu Xin asked puzzled, Ouyang De brought the sixteen finalists here, did he want them to enter the Yin Wind Valley to explore?

"Yes, this Yin Wind Valley only suddenly appeared in my Huachen five hundred years ago, it is very much like a natural high-level spirit array, there are only two entrances and exits, one in front and one in the back, this entrance is also like a natural teleportation channel, which can randomly teleport every monk who enters the gap from the outside to a range of hundreds of miles inside, if you want to come out, you just need to find any gap before and after. Here is a radius of 500 miles, the wind is as high as hundreds of zhang, covering the sky and the sun all day long, and there is no sunlight. The Divine Consciousness was greatly suppressed inside, and even for us Jindan Old Monsters, it was impossible for the Divine Consciousness to reach far away. In the periphery, there are some low-level ghosts, and there is no way to know what is in the core, and no one has gone in to explore. However, the spiritual energy, yin qi, and even the demonic qi here are extremely luxuriant, and there are many spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses growing, and there are dozens of foundation building monks who go in to pick spiritual grass every year among our Huachen Tiandu Peak disciples. Ouyang De stroked his beard and introduced.

"Why don't you send someone to explore the core?" Yu Xin was even more puzzled.

"Hehe, I'm ashamed to say it, this Yin Wind Valley seems to be naturally formed, monks above the middle stage of Jindan can't enter it at all, and they will automatically bounce out when they step into the gap, a hundred years ago, the five elders of my Huachen once went in once, but they didn't detect any useful information, after that, I only cared about cultivation, and gradually forgot about here, plus there has never been a high-level ghost thing that threatens this sect in this valley, and it also produces a lot of spiritual grass, so I let it go. Recently, there has been a sudden strong yin aura here, and ordinary foundation building monks have long been afraid to enter. I'm bringing you here today to find out what is going on in the core and see what is in the core?" Ouyang De explained with a smile.

After Yu Xin heard this, he bowed slightly, and then his figure blurred for a while and disappeared in place. On the edge of the gap in the Yin Wind Valley, the golden light flickered, and one could not breathe, and a golden figure staggered out, his face full of shock.

"It's really a miracle! There is such a natural wonder?!" Yu Xin admired as he returned to Ouyang De's side.

"Hey, Master Ouyang, just now you said that this place is rich in elixir?" Yu Xin asked again, he suddenly remembered the last time the elder ceremonies were held, Elder Tong gave him a few top-grade two-leaf magnolias, and asked, "Could it be that this is the place where you Huachen planted the best elixir?"

"The best elixir, where does the envoy start?" Ouyang De frowned.

"Senior brother is really unkind, we have an elder Tong who has collected one hundred and ten of your best elixirs, that quality, tsk! Okay! Anyway, the East Spirit Sect has never produced it. ”

"The envoy is really joking, the best elixir? I don't even know where to start?! Hmph!" Ouyang De snorted lightly.

Tian Jiu, who was standing at the back of the team, suddenly sank in his heart: "Good girl, how did this old man get involved in my elixir, it's over, it's over, if the head of the house knows about it, there will be nowhere to hide." ”

Seeing that Yu Xin still had to distinguish, Tianjiu suddenly pointed at Yin Feng Valley and shouted: "Look, there is black smoke!!"

"Black smoke ......?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at the valley, but they couldn't see anything except the endless yin qi.

Ouyang De was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed instantly. "Demonic Qi! Your Excellency the Special Envoy, that rushing black smoke from a thousand feet away should be demonic energy, right?"

Yu Xin stared for a moment and nodded slightly: "Yes, it's demonic energy, and it's still very strong!"

After speaking, he looked at Tian Jiu strangely: "Kid, aren't you in the early stage of foundation building? How can you detect thousands of zhang away? You are already catching up with our Jindan late stage monks!"

"Uh, a thousand zhang, is there a thousand zhang?" Tianjiu shuddered a few times. The hatred in my heart: "Mom, cover that side, but expose this side, these old ghosts are all thieves!"

"Hehe, don't look at me like that, I can't do anything else, but my eyes are a little sharper, and I can see a little farther, hehehe!" Tianjiu looked at everyone staring at him, and his heart was furious, and he deliberately laughed.

Ouyang De's eyes flashed, and then he shouted loudly: "Okay, don't interrupt, everyone is here to detect Yin Wind Valley this time, don't worry about other things first, the atmosphere inside is strange, let's go in and detect the situation quickly!"

"Master Master, what exactly am I going to do when I go in? Is it a competition to pick elixirs? If so, I will admit defeat!" Hong Miao said with bared teeth. He has been killing all his life, and if he is asked to do the work of collecting medicine, then he must have failed miserably.

"No! Of course not! You go and kill the ghosts, whoever kills the most ghosts, and then go through the core area, go out through the north exit, and bring back the topographic map of the core area, and whoever wins. Kill a three-headed ghost, count a little, you can go out from the north exit, count 500 points, bring back the core domain map, count 1,000 points, three days later, I will wait for you at the north entrance, if you can't pass through the core area and return the same way, the Sikong Elder who stayed here will bring it back directly. ”

"Hehe, this is pretty much the same, isn't it just to kill ghosts! Piece of cake! I've got the first one!" Hong Miao said confidently, looking at Tianjiu at the same time, full of provocation.

"Qiyin, this time you also go in, strive to be the first to come out, not only to protect yourself, but also to protect the other disciples of Huachen as much as you can. ”

"Ah, Uncle Wei is also participating?" Hong Miao was dumbfounded.

"Yes, Wei Qiyin, the first core disciple, has always been sealed by me, and if he is incompetent, he can also be tested this time, at the north exit, I will only take the top three and take them to participate in the Dongling Peak Competition. Hall Master Hong, you are not too young, and it will also be good for your Sword Hall to promote young people more. ”

"Yes, yes!" After Hong Miao heard this, she drooped her head like a deflated ball, and didn't say anything again.

Wei Qiyin's cold and bewitching face did not say anything, he just hugged his fist at Ouyang De, flew into the gap, and disappeared in an instant, and then the other disciples also shot towards the gap.

Tianjiu rubbed again and landed on Zuihou, and Sikong Lan seemed to be waiting for him on purpose, lingering at the gap.

"Hey, hey, hey, senior sister, you go first! I'll break back!" Tian Jiuhan smiled and looked at Sikong Lan at the gap.

"No, I'm going in with you!"

"Obediently, your Lao Tzu is behind you, if you don't want him to tear me up, you can leave me a way out. I promised your dad a long time ago that he must be three feet away from you. Tianjiu gritted his teeth and said.

"It's okay, with me, he won't dare to tear you!" Sikong Lan finished speaking, grabbed Tianjiu's arm and dragged him into the gap.

※※

Sikong Xing behind him, his face was gray and black, and his teeth were trembling.

"Elder Sikong, don't meddle too much in the affairs of young people, just let it be, this Tianjiu has already built a foundation, although the qualifications are poor, but the Dao of Cultivating Immortals does not say no, and it is okay for your girl to follow him. Ouyang De said with a smile.

"That's it, this little guy seems to be hidden, a little weird, and quite fond of the old man's taste, I have a hunch that this guy will come out of the north exit. It's a pity, only the early stage of foundation building. ”

"What happened in the early days of foundation building?" Ouyang De wondered.

"Hehe, no matter how strong the strength of the early stage of foundation building is, it is worse than the end of foundation building, Master Ouyang, I can reveal a little news to you, there is only one peak disciple at the end of foundation building this time in Tianyimen, and the other two, one Jin Danchu and one Jin Danzhong, do you think this kid has a chance of winning if he enters the summit?" Yu Xin sneered.

Xiong Zhen, Ouyang Dian, and Sikong Xing on the side all changed color instantly. In just one Tianyi Sect, there are two Jindan and one at the end of the foundation building test, which has skyrocketed a lot compared to ten years ago, so what disciples will the stronger Donglingmen send out?

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for reminding me. Lord Envoy, I don't know what kind of cultivators can Danshan Cloud Pavilion and Qianji Gate send out to participate in the test this time?" Ouyang De's face also turned pale, but he still asked calmly.

"Hehehe! Isn't Elder Sikong very unwelcoming that I am here? It seems that the old man is not useless to you Huachen, okay, don't say more, I'll just say Danshan Cloud Pavilion, I know that there are two female cultivators sent by them, one is the Ice Spirit Root disciple at the peak of the end of the foundation building, the other is the Fire Wood Twin Spirit Root disciple at the end of the foundation building, and the other one I haven't detected, it should be their finale. ”

Except for Ouyang De, the elders of Huachen have completely dead faces, so to speak, they are not half a star apart from Danshan Cloud Pavilion, Le Tucheng and Sikong Lan are both in the middle stage of foundation building, and only Wei Qiyin can be on the stage.

Ouyang De sighed, shook his head slightly, and said, "Let's go, there is no way to destroy my Huachen, now let's go to the north exit to rest." Elder Sikong, you can stay here and wait, if there are disciples who come out, register the number of ghosts killed, and then ask them to return to the sect, if they are injured, please also treat them carefully. ”

"Yes, master!" Sikong Xing finished speaking, sat cross-legged on the stone halfway up the mountain, and then closed his eyes and meditated.

After a few breaths, a streamer of light rose into the sky and headed straight north......

※※

Tianjiu was dizzy, and a "heavy object" hung on his arm and fell into the deep grass, and then, the "heavy object" pressed heavily on his body. Then, a piece of warmth pressed against his big mouth.

"Hmm~~!" Tianjiu snorted, and his consciousness told him that they were two lips. He hurriedly raised his hand to push, but there was a tenderness, and the pig's hand pushed on a hill.

"Oops!" a coquettish cry came out, and Sikong Lan stood up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Senior sister, I hurt you?!" Tianjiu said in a panic, and got up in a hurry.

"What?!" Sikong Lan's face was shy, and she wiped someone's little saliva on her lips with her jade hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's just an accident! Senior sister, look at this valley, the scenery is so charming!" Tian Jiu smiled and pointed to the surroundings and said, however, where he saw it, it was terrifying.

This is a dense forest, gloomy and inky, up to a hundred feet of giant trees densely turned, surrounded by each other, deep in the dense forest, overgrown with weeds, among the weeds, but also exposed countless trees of thick roots, as if countless giant pythons entangled in the dense forest. The gloomy wind came with compassion, and there were sporadic melodious and mournful screams.

"Damn, what the hell is this place?" Tianjiu cried.

"Hmph! this is where the ghost lives!" Sikong Lan snorted, returning to normal.

"Oh, forgot, this is the Valley of the Shade Winds, which is teeming with demons. Senior sister, aren't you afraid?" Tianjiu shuddered for a moment, and his divine consciousness spread out in all directions, and he could see it all within a thousand zhang, and his divine consciousness outside a thousand zhang was disturbed by the rich yin qi and could not go deeper.

"I've been to Yin Wind Valley a few times, all looking for elixir in the periphery, there's nothing to be afraid of, the ghosts here are not powerful, the highest cultivation is only three heads, that is, the foundation building cultivation, ghosts are generally worse than monks of the same level, especially afraid of fire and thunder, however, this is the first time I have come to this dense forest, and I don't know if there are powerful ghosts. Besides, what the hell are you afraid of as a big man?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Senior sister is really tough, senior brother admires it so much!"

"Flim Tongue Flamboyant! Get out, find a little ghost to kill, this dense forest is very yin, there should be a lot of ghosts!" Sikong Lan gritted her teeth, wiped her hand, and added a small gray-black dagger, which was the Clear Sky Dagger.
