From the canyon to the stone house, it is about fifty miles.
It wasn't until darkness enveloped that Chen Yuan walked out of the cave. Although he had not seen Guo Hao and his master for three days, Chen Yuan was still a little worried.
We walked carefully all the way until the next morning when we returned to our residence.
A glance at the flower-covered house not far away and the closed courtyard door showed that Liu Muyun had not returned yet.
Sitting upright on the bed, he began to think about his recent experiences. Manager Liu of the Shendan Hall extended an invitation to him. On the surface, he was interested in his alchemy skills, but behind the scenes there was a hint of conspiracy.
With the strength of the Divine Alchemy Hall, even a small place like Maple Leaf City definitely has no shortage of alchemists, not to mention an alchemist who only has the second level of Qi Refining. Perhaps Manager Liu has his own unknown secret. indefinite.
"You must not join the Shendan Hall. I don't know them too well. Joining them will only make you fall into a passive whirlpool."
Then there is Guo Hao. His strength is not high and he cannot pose a threat to himself, but the family and master behind him cannot be shaken. Provoking Guo Hao is equivalent to causing yourself trouble that you can't get rid of.
Only if you are stronger than them can you divert the trouble.
"This world of cultivators is no calmer than the mortal world. In a world where the weak and the strong prey on the strong, only your fists are big enough and hard enough to remain invincible."
At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a familiar scent, and then heard a rapid knock on the door.
"Chen...brother Chen...save me!"
When he pushed open the courtyard door, he was greeted by a stream of blood and the girl slumped in Chen Yuan's arms.
Liu Muyun was injured, and seriously injured. She fainted after just looking at Chen Yuan.
There were many wounds on her chest, arms, back and even her delicate and smooth face. It was unknown how the girl escaped all the way back. With this kind of injury, it would be considered lucky for anyone to survive.
He picked up the girl in his arms and turned around to walk into the room, but at this moment, a breath no less powerful than Guo Hao's came quickly.
"Your Excellency, I advise you to let go of that woman. You cannot wade in this muddy water, let alone have the ability to do so."
The sound moved from far to near, and Chen Yuan could see it clearly. It was a handsome young man in rich clothes, with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyebrows. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking cool and unrestrained with a hint of evil charm.
He lowered his head and glanced at Liu Muyun in his arms, and then at the young man opposite.
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Dao must have heard that she called her big brother next time. Does Brother Dao think that as the eldest brother, he would give up on his sister?"
"So, you are determined to wade into this muddy water? Do you know who is here?"
Hearing Chen Yuan's words, the young man frowned slightly, but then returned to normal.
"No need to know."
Chen Yuan turned around, hugged Liu Muyun and continued walking towards the room.
In fact, the moment the young man appeared, Chen Yuan had the idea of giving up on Liu Muyun. He has already offended a Guo Hao. If he offends the young man in front of him again, it will not do him any good. You might even lose your life.
But in the end, he made what he thought was the right decision.
It wasn't because Liu Muyun was so beautiful that she lost her mind and lost herself.
In his view, people do it for themselves, mostly for profit, but in addition to profit, they also have their original intention. If you lose your interests, you can gain them again, but if you lose your original intention, you are like a walking zombie that has lost your soul.
"A Brief Introduction to Monks" says that in cultivation, what is cultivated is the heart, the heart of oneself, which is the original heart.
If you lose your original intention, you will become a demon, a zombie-like demon.
"It seems that you have to wade through this muddy water."
The young man did not attack Chen Yuan immediately, but watched as Chen Yuan carried Liu Muyun into the room.
Although Maple Leaf City is a gathering place for casual cultivators, there are also many powerful beings. For example, Liu Muchun's master and the controller of Maple Leaf City.
Chen Yuan was so confident that the young man was still a little scared.
"Brother Dao, please leave. I have to heal my sister."
After putting Liu Muyun on the bed, Chen Yuan first took out a five-star Qi Gathering Pill and put it into her mouth. Then he cooked some rice porridge and fed it into her mouth one spoonful at a time.
At the second level of Qi Refining, although he has become a monk, he is not much different from ordinary mortals, except that he has a stronger body.
You still need to eat and sleep on weekdays, but one meal a day is enough.
Only when you reach the fifth level of Qi refining and above can you achieve basic inedia, and you can eat one meal a month or a year.
At this time, Liu Muyun was seriously injured and there was no healing medicine. Chen Yuan could only feed her more rice porridge to warm her body.
Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and Liu Muyun's injuries had almost recovered. However, the young man in gorgeous clothes outside the door never left, which made Chen Yuan have to pay attention.
Although the young man's cultivation level is not high, it is not an option to stand in front of his house like this all the time.
"Brother Dao has been here for half a month. Shouldn't you tell me why I hurt my sister so seriously?"
Chen Yuan asked, standing three feet away from the young man.
"Hand over the century-old cold jade, and I will leave immediately. I will not disturb you at all."
After half a month of observation, the young man also discovered it. Chen Yuan is just a young monk on the second level of Qi Refining. There is no big monk behind him, and his identity is not taken seriously by Maple Leaf City.
"Excuse me, did Sister Liu snatch this century-old cold jade from Brother Dao? Or did Sister Liu steal it? If so, I will ask Sister Liu to hand it over now. If not, it's okay for Brother Dao to leave."
Chen Yuan really didn't want to offend anyone again, so he didn't want to take action. If the young man in front of him leaves voluntarily, everything will be fine, but if...he is also in trouble.
"A century-old cold jade is something that has no owner. If the little girl gets it, it belongs to the little girl. You and many other little girls launched a sneak attack, but in the end, I killed one person. What? You wanted to kill us brother and sister today. , can’t you snatch Han Jade away?”
Liu Muyun snatched the man's words. Now she has returned to Maple Leaf City, and her injuries have almost recovered. She puts her hands on her hips, and it doesn't look like she has just recovered from her injuries.
"broken!"
Chen Yuan knew that half a month's time consumption had made the young man think about leaving, but now, Liu Muyun's sudden words made the young man have other thoughts again. With his cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining, it was still possible to crush two second-level Qi Refining people.
"Since the girl is unwilling to hand over the cold jade, I, Tong Dawei, have no choice but to take action. Obtaining the cold jade and sending you two brothers and sisters to the underworld to fight against the underworld mandarin ducks can be considered as accumulating some evil virtue."
While speaking, Tong Dawei had already begun to attack Chen Yuan, and three fireballs as big as fists were thrown directly at Chen Yuan.
What was supposed to come came.
Chen Yuan originally wanted to avoid the fight, but he didn't expect that after half a month, this fight was still needed.
The second-grade shield talisman was slapped on his body, and after blocking the opponent's fireball, he also ejected two fireballs.
After the loud bang, the two of them still stood still. Chen Yuan smiled without any strangeness, but Tong Dawei was shocked. He had been guessing the power behind Chen Yuan, but he never expected that Chen Yuan, the second level of Qi Refining, would be able to take over his fireball technique so easily.
You must know that his fireball technique has been refined for two years, and its power is much stronger than that of ordinary monks at the third and fourth levels of Qi refining.
If it weren't for his superb fireball technique, Liu Muyun wouldn't have been injured so badly.
Frowning slightly, Tong Dawei used the magic formula again.
Just hearing a bird song, a firebird about two feet long came quickly, with a scorching temperature like the blazing sun at noon.
"Brother Chen, be careful. His Fire Luan Technique has reached the middle level of the yellow level and cannot be competed with by ordinary defensive spells."
Liu Muyun also has a Fire Bird Technique, but it is much weaker than Tong Dawei's Fire Luan Technique. If the opponent's Fire Luan Technique hadn't been too strong, with her many years of experience, she wouldn't have been able to escape with serious injuries.
The classification of spells is indeed recorded in the "Brief Introduction to Monks".
General spells are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, and each level is divided into upper, middle, lower, and top four levels. For example, Liu Muyun's Fire Bird Technique can be characterized as a low-grade yellow-level spell at most, which is the lowest level of magic except the Fireball Technique.
Since the Fire Bird Technique is a middle-grade yellow-level weapon, its power is at least twice as powerful as the Fire Bird Technique.
Chen Yuan did not dare to be careless, and after taking another third-grade Vajra Talisman on his body, he raised his hand and took out a Talisman.
The talisman changed in the wind, strangely transforming into a two-headed snake that was more than ten feet long.
The two-headed snake opened its fangs and opened its huge mouth, biting Huo Luan's neck very quickly, and then twisted its giant tail and wrapped around Huo Luan's body.
Angry and unwilling birdsong echoed, and the fire luan exploded under the strong binding of the two-headed snake, forming sparks that filled the sky and scattered everywhere.
"Third-grade double-headed talisman? Since you have a third-grade talisman?"
The moment he saw the two-headed snake in the sky, Tong Dawei wanted to quit. Third-grade talismans are not something that low-level monks like him can possess. Only disciples of big sects and big families can possess them.
Chen Yuan didn't care what the other party thought of him. After destroying the Fire Luan, he tapped the double-headed snake in the air with his right hand.
As if it had received an order it could not disobey, the two-headed snake twisted its body and attacked Tong Dawei.
Seeing that the two-headed snake was approaching, Tong Dawei, who wanted to retreat, was no longer willing to continue fighting. He threw a fireball, blocked the rapidly approaching two-headed snake, and then turned into a breeze and disappeared in place.
Chen Yuan did not pursue him. After putting away the two-headed talisman, he returned to the stone house.
What he wants to know most now is where Liu Muyun went for a month, what he did, why he returned seriously injured, and why he provoked Tong Dawei.
Although he saved Liu Muyun's life, he was unwilling to get involved if the other party caused too much trouble. After all, you know what your strength is.
In this world of cultivating immortals where the weak prey on the strong and strength is respected, self-preservation is the most important thing.
"Miss Liu, should you say something? I don't want to be a fool. Even if I die, I want to die clearly."
When Chen Yuan returned to the stone house, his face suddenly became serious.
