"In the past few days since you left, several stations in Jiuyoumen were attacked. It is said that there were heavy casualties." Mr. Bao said with a serious expression. He still had insiders in Jiuyoumen who would pass on some news to him from time to time.
Yan Qing asked in confusion: "Besides you, does Jiuyou Sect have any strong enemies?"
"There are quite a few enemies, but there are really not many that can be called strong enemies." Mr. Bao thought for a while and then said: "Perhaps because our departure has greatly reduced the strength of the Jiuyou Sect, the sects that dared to be angry and dare not speak out before will also come.
Revenge?"
"It's not impossible." Huo Jian nodded and said, "Also, those attacked this time were basically demonized sect bases, and all of them were blamed. With this kind of strength... we have to be vigilant!"
Yan Qing nodded solemnly, but for some reason, he always felt flustered.
"How many demonic gates are there in the Nine Nether Gate?"
"If we count the number of people after we leave, it's already two percent."
"There are so many people. So many people have become demons. Doesn't Chen Chong have any countermeasures? Isn't there any objection from the disciples below?"
"Demonized people will be transferred quickly, and many of them have greatly increased their strength, but their cultivation has reached its peak." Huo Jian blamed himself, "It was also me who instilled in them the wrong idea that cultivation is the most important thing.
."
"Father, they are not children anymore. They should make their own judgment on such matters." Mr. Bao quickly tried to persuade his father.
"Let them handle this kind of thing on their own, do we still need to take care of it?" Jin Mang asked puzzledly.
Yan Qingzheng immediately shook his head: "It depends on what Elder Huo and Mr. Bao want."
Mr. Bao looked at his father, but Huo Jian smiled with relief: "I have told you a long time ago that Jiuyoumen has nothing to do with me anymore."
"That means you don't care about it, right?" Elder Chi looked at Yan Qingzheng and confirmed, "I don't care about it anymore and I'm going back. I have a research project that I need to discuss with my disciple."
"It's okay, Elder Chi, please excuse me." Yan Qing said with a smile. Now Elder Chi is very satisfied with Nalan Ruying, his disciple.
After they came back from Miao'er Mountain, they got the news a few days later that some bases of Jiuyoumen had been destroyed. Yan Qing felt that it was necessary for everyone to get together to discuss, so he gathered several elders who were there for a meeting.
, in fact, it also takes care of the feelings of father and son Huo Jian and Mr. Bao.
It turns out that she is quite free and easy, and Yan Qingzheng doesn't like to be an arbiter. As long as she doesn't do anything harmful to nature, she has no time to care about it.
She has confirmed with Huo Jian that those demons will not be reversed, that is, from now on they will either become irrational monsters, or they will go crazy and kill themselves. In short, there is no way to survive. In this case, then they will do this
Maybe being exterminated is a good thing.
She did not connect this matter with Rong Che at all. After all, in her knowledge, the Demon Slaughter Lord had been sealed and could not do so many things, but Rong Che did not yet have this ability.
And since Baili Xiyi followed Duo Yue back to Tianyimen last time, she has only occasionally sent a flying sword letter to Jin Mang.
Yan Qing was really annoyed by this, so he asked Jin Mang to go to Yuling Realm with him to relax his mind.
Jin Mang went happily. She has actually looked away now. Even if Baili Xiyi is really with her, regardless of worldly opinions, then the two of them will only have three to four hundred years at most to stay together. From now on, how can the two of them stay together?
If we can't ascend to the fairy world together, it's unknown whether the relationship will last. Why make your life miserable for those inexplicable and invisible feelings?
In the Yuling Realm, this place is a little more lively than before because of the arrival of Xiao Nian and others.
After a few years, the ruins here have been almost cleared, several nice palaces have been repaired, and a few people who have completed their transformation have lived in them.
Xiao Nian lives in the central palace with Hong Li, and no one has any objection to this.
Hong Li was very happy to see the two of them coming together. She and Xiao Nian were cool and charming, and they seemed to get along very harmoniously.
Xiao Nian solemnly thanked Yan Qingzheng. She had already heard from Hongli that Yan Qingzheng spent half of his spiritual power on her.
To be honest, she didn't expect it at all, and she even habitually thought about the more sinister purpose why Qing Zheng did this when she first heard about it.
But Hong Li's words dispelled her suspicion.
"What do you think you are worth enough for her to do this?"
Xiao Nian couldn't think of it, so she was shocked beyond measure.
However, Qingzheng still told the truth: "Everyone gets what they need."
Xiao Nian finally lowered her head sincerely in front of Yan Qing.
After having enough wine and food, Hong Li and Yan Qing were taking a walk in the courtyard.
The red carp then asked: "Tell me, what's the matter with coming in?"
Yan Qingzheng said: "I can't hide anything from you."
"There's always a reason why you come in, tell it."
"There is an Elder Chi in our Guiyi Sect. He is an expert in weapon refining, but his talent in this aspect is mediocre. He is already over two hundred years old. I hope that his cultivation will be further improved and he will be able to ascend successfully in the future.
.But...even though he has started working hard, his meridians have become somewhat blocked due to his lack of practice for a long time, so I came in to see if there was any way I could help him."
"Is that so? You want me to help open up the meridians? But I'm a monster and don't know much about the meridians of human cultivators, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
"I know that relying on external forces is never the right way." Yan Qingzheng didn't think about it that way, "I just want to ask, is there no other way to help him improve his cultivation?"
"Alchemy. Although alchemy can be regarded as using external force, it is different from the spiritual power directly input into his body. Those medicinal powers still need to be transformed by himself. The spiritual power obtained in this way is his own."
"But my alchemy is really mediocre, so I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve the desired effect."
"I can try this."
"Really? Then, are the materials enough?"
"I need some time. The alchemy room should have some records of the elixirs. I will study them. Give me a year."
"Okay, no rush." Yan Qing was relieved, "Thank you, Hongli."
"No, I haven't known many people in my life. You are one of the few people who are kind to me. I will help you if I can." Hong Li also showed a not-so-bright smile. She was not used to smiling like that.
What she didn't say was that Yan Qing happened to be the master of this spiritual realm, but he never used a commanding tone towards her, an immortal pet. This moved her.
"What's going on with the golden glow?" Hong Li asked again.
"Alas!" Yan Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Chu Chu said this was a love disaster."
"Then there's nothing we can do." Hongli shrugged. There was nothing she could do about this kind of thing.
"I just want her to come in and relax. Every time after Bailixi gives her Feijian a letter, she will be unhappy for several days. I know she still hopes that Bailixi will come. We got along before.
Over the past few years, she should have gotten used to having him by his side. When he suddenly leaves, Sister Jin Mang will inevitably feel lost."
"Will you feel better if you come here?"
"At least there are monsters here in the transformation stage like her. It's easier than facing other people outside. Besides, you can't receive flying sword messages here!"
"That's true." Hong Li nodded. She had never been emotional and didn't know what it was like, but it was better to face companions who were also born from monsters than to face those human cultivators. She felt the same way. This was also her experience.
The reason why even though you are already in the immortal realm, you still don’t like to go out and face other people and would rather stay in this secret realm.
Speaking of the secret realm, Yan Qingzheng told Hongli what he had seen and heard in the depths of Miaoer Mountain.
"The secret treasure of the Immortal King Realm?" Red Carp was a little surprised.
"Yes, we were all shocked! You said that our world is so closed to begin with, with scarce resources and thin spiritual energy, how come there are so many immortals!"
Hong Li also thought about it again and again before saying: "As a lower plane, maybe the space barrier in your world is relatively thin, making it easy to break into."
"Okay, I can only understand it this way." Yan Qingzheng spread his hands helplessly.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion and couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw the array plate carved on the table.
"It has been so long since the transformation period that I came in before, why is there still no movement?" Yan Qing suddenly remembered and asked.
"What's the noise?"
"Have they not reached the realm of ascension yet?"
Hong Li managed not to roll her eyes. She explained: "Monsters themselves are more difficult to advance than humans, but they have a long lifespan. So you may not be able to see any of them ascend. Do you think everyone has the same abilities as you?"
Incredible cultivation talent!"
"Okay. I'm just impatient."
Hong Li suddenly became depressed: "I don't know how many of these dozen people will be able to ascend successfully..."
Yan Qingzheng also became serious. This was the price of going against the will of heaven. No one could be 100% sure that he would be able to ascend successfully.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, Elder Chi is a thunder spirit!" Suddenly thinking of this matter, Yan Qing felt that it was necessary to say it.
"Thunder spirit body? Then don't worry. As far as I know, there is no thunder spirit body that has failed to ascend!" Hong Li suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.
"Really? Is the Thunder Spirit Body really that powerful?"
"Thunder spirit bodies are really advantageous in overcoming tribulations, but they have to cultivate themselves to the level of ascension."
Yan Qing was thinking about the thunder dragon on the day Pei Xing passed through the tribulation, and he felt a little envious in his heart. People like Elder Chi and Nalan Ruying were actually really lucky to be favored by such a being.
"Speaking of which, you have a cousin who is also a thunder spirit. You told me about it last time." Hong Li asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"She also learns weapon refining, right?"
"Yes, I have already become a disciple of Elder Chi!"
"That's it, this is the way of heaven!" Hong Li nodded, "Because the thunder spirit body can easily overcome the tribulation, it is inevitably unfair to other people, so generally people with the thunder spirit body have poor cultivation talents and can only
He is interested in refining, alchemy, making talismans, etc., and has a high level of understanding."
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then said: "But Ruying's cultivation speed is quite fast."
"Then it must have been improved by the elders during the cultivation process," Hong Li shook his head and said disapprovingly, "This is actually counterproductive. If it continues, her cultivation may only stop here.
