Monster cave, beside the energy pool.
"What are you doing here these days? Can you tell us?" Qin Tian squatted by the pool, observing the water that seemed to have changed, and then looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan did not answer Qin Tian's question. Instead, he smiled lightly at Qin Chen and said, "Qin Chen, use your Yuanli to protect your body and put your hand in to try."
Qin Chen's heart trembled when he heard this. Although he still had lingering fear, he still leaned down and squatted down, using his Yuan Power to wrap his whole body, and cautiously stretched his right hand into the pool.
As soon as he entered the water, his eyes shone brightly, his expression changed drastically, and he said in shock: "Although there is a biting cold feeling, if you use Yuanli to protect your body, you can resist it. I can feel the energy flowing through my fingertips."
Li Yuan clasped his hands on his chest and said, "Since there is no problem, let me tell you the order of entering the pool to absorb the refining energy."
"Refining? Now? Are you kidding me? When Qin Chen puts his hand into the pool, he must use Yuanli to protect his body to resist it. How to refine it?" Qin Tian asked in shock. Although he wanted to break through the Yuan Dan realm as soon as possible, he was destined to more important.
"What are you so anxious about? Wait until I finish."
"Oh." Qin Tian nodded.
Li Yuan looked at several jade bottles on the rock platform in the distance and said calmly: "Qin Tian, the jade bottle on the far left contains seven pills and is yours. The other three bottles all have five pills in them. Little aunt, Shi Chen and Qin Chen each have a bottle."
Hearing this, several people waved to the jade bottles, and the jade bottles fell into their respective hands.
Qin Tian couldn't wait to open the jade bottle, and a strong fragrance of elixir floated out.
"What kind of elixir is this? Such a strong elixir fragrance. As soon as I smelled it, I vaguely felt the barrier of the Void Realm. Is it an illusion?" Qin Tian said in surprise.
Li Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I promised before to give you the Three Marks Qiyuan Pill, and I have fulfilled it today."
Hearing this, Qin Chen and Shi Chen immediately opened the jade bottle to reveal the elixir.
Li Yunqing hesitated slightly, then took out the elixir.
She had always been calm, but the allure of Qi Yuan Dan made it impossible for her to suppress her inner excitement.
With a flick of his fingers, a red jade bottle appeared in Li Yuan's hand. He walked up to Shi Chen, raised his head and said with a smile: "Although all the cold energy in the bones in your body has been found, it has not been completely eliminated.
"There is a Xuanyang Yan Pill in it. Take it before entering the pool. Taking advantage of this breakthrough, the cold air should be completely eliminated and future troubles will never happen."
Shi Chen was overjoyed and didn't know how to express his inner gratitude, so he lifted Li Yuan directly and threw him into the air.
The big guy's sudden move made Li Yunqing and the other two people, who were immersed in the joy of Qi Yuan Dan, come back to their senses, looked at Li Yuan and Shi Chen, and couldn't help laughing.
"Shi Chen, put me down." Li Yuan said loudly, "I'll tell you the order of entering the pool."
Hearing this, the big man put Li Yuan down gently.
Li Yuan straightened his clothes, opened his throat, and said calmly: "Due to the limited materials used to neutralize the pool water, it has not reached the optimal state. If you enter the pool rashly, it will not be refined. Therefore, it needs to be based on everyone's physical strength and the characteristics of the bones in the body. Enter the pool.
"I'll be the first to go down. After waiting for about ten days, my little aunt can test the water in the pool and use the Yuan bones in her body to absorb the energy. Shi Chen is a heavenly spirit. His body is more resistant than Qin Tian and Qin Chen, and he has the fire element in his cultivation. Power, my little aunt can go out ten days after entering the energy pool.
"As for Qin Tian and Qin Chen, you can make up your own mind. After ten days of entering, Shi Chen felt that he could withstand the energy impact in the pool without the need for Yuanli to protect his body, so he went into the water."
Everyone had no objections to Li Yuan's arrangement and nodded.
"How long do we need to stay in the pool?" Qin Tian asked.
Touching his chin, Li Yuan said slowly: "Although the energy in the pool is pure, there is a critical point for every yuan person to absorb it.
"When you feel that the refining energy is slow to improve your own cultivation, come up. I don't know how long it will take.
"Although the energy inside has been neutralized with medicinal liquid, when you first enter it, you need to circulate your energy throughout your body to resist the impact of a large amount of energy.
"Arrive at the bottom of the pool, adapt slowly, and when there is no need for Yuanli to protect your body, absorb and refine it bit by bit.
"I'll go down first."
After saying that, the blue and silver Yuan Power instantly enveloped Li Yuan's body, lightning arcs flashed, and he jumped into the pool. There were big waves on the water, and the sound of rushing water could be heard.
As soon as he entered the energy pool, Li Yuan's body trembled suddenly.
Countless streams of pure energy surge into the body, and the coolness is mixed with a biting cold current.
Perhaps feeling the impact of energy, Ling said quietly in Li Yuan's heart: "Li Yuan, even if you don't take pills, refining these pure energies can help you transform your Qi into pills and easily advance to the Yuan Dan realm."
"Ah. What should we do?" Li Yuan asked in shock.
Ling suggested: "Refining this energy as little as possible will allow the spirit pattern to devour the life-devouring bones and help him grow."
"good."
Li Yuan quickly swam to the bottom of the pool, ran the Yuan-Building Kung Fu, entered the cultivation state, and released the devouring power at the same time.
Suddenly, a vortex formed at the bottom of the pool, and streams of pure energy quickly gathered together. It was obvious that Li Yuan had begun to absorb energy.
Afterwards, Li Yunqing and Shi Chen entered the pool at the time mentioned by Li Yuan.
Qin Chen waited until the thirteenth day after Shi Chen entered the water before entering the water, while Qin Tian waited for several more days and was the last one to enter.
………
Seven months later.
Two hundred miles away from the monster cave where Li Yuan and others were, a group of people appeared.
The two leaders are both strong men in the Yuan Dan Realm, one is in the middle of the Yuan Dan Realm, and the other is at the peak of the middle Yuan Dan Realm.
Behind them followed one hundred and thirty people, all of whom had reached the pinnacle of the Void Realm.
Ten of them were wearing red robes with a knife logo wrapped in fire patterns on their cuffs.
"Two horse owners, we have been searching outside Xiaoxing Mountain for more than a month, and there are no two people you mentioned. How about we hunt some early level three monsters."
Suddenly, someone in the team spoke up.
Ma Zhihai's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "I gave each of you three hundred high-grade Yuan stones to go into the mountains to find someone. It was agreed that it would be five months, and it has only been more than a month. You don't want to do it anymore?"
"Elder Ruhai, you see, we are all mercenaries who specialize in hunting monsters. We are different from those who go into the mountains to collect materials. We go into the mountains just to hunt monsters. If we don't do anything for a long time, we will inevitably feel a little itchy.
"It's really unreasonable for such a powerful team to wander in an area where level two monsters often hang out." Another person said.
"The people we are looking for cannot go to areas where a large number of level three monsters appear. You have not suffered any injuries in the more than a month since you entered the mountain, and you are not missing Yuanshi. If anyone is dissatisfied with his long life, you can leave now." Ma Zhishan Leng shouted.
After hearing this, everyone said nothing.
The three teams led by Ma Jianping, Ma Zhiqian and Lu Qizhen were all wiped out, including many members of the Ma family, causing heavy losses to the Ma family.
Ma Zhihai gathered the remaining three teams and took them back to Wuchen Camp.
With so many people dead, the Ma family hated Li Yuan deeply.
After discussion, Ma Zhihai left ten tribesmen who had reached the peak of the Void Realm, and the other tribesmen were brought back to Xingcheng by Liu Qianmo and Ma Jianpeng, and then returned to Yangyan City.
At the same time, let Ma Zhishan, who has broken through to the peak of the middle Yuan Dan realm, rush to Wuchen Camp and join Ma Zhihai.
They communicated with the Tianhong Chamber of Commerce and hired 120 Yuan practitioners who had reached the peak of perfection in the Void Realm from the Chamber of Commerce at a high price. They once again entered the outskirts of Xiaoxing Mountain to hunt down Li Yuan and Li Yunqing.
In addition, all teams from the Tianhong Chamber of Commerce entering Xiaoxing Mountain were asked to report promptly if they encountered Li Yuan and the others.
Two strong men in the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Realm are in charge, plus one hundred and thirty people who have reached the peak of the Void Realm. Such a luxurious lineup is rare.
There are not many level three monsters outside Xiaoxing Mountain, and they are considered the strongest monsters in the later stages.
Monsters that have entered the peak stage of Level 3 will usually choose to enter the depths of Xiaoxing Mountain, where the environment is more conducive for them to attack Level 4.
Therefore, if there is a team of more than 100 people like Ma Jianping, it is unlikely that anyone will survive.
Even if they encounter a late-level third-level monster, Ma Zhihai and Ma Zhishan can barely handle it together.
According to the news from Tianhong Chamber of Commerce, no Yuan people have seen them since Li Yuan and others entered the mountain.
The only way into the mountain is at Wuchen Camp, so the Ma family firmly believes that Li Yuan and the two must still be in Xiaoxing Mountain.
Those at the peak of Yuanman in the Taxu Realm can only move around in the periphery, and it is impossible to step into the depths of Xiaoxing Mountain.
………
Outside Xiaoxing Mountain.
Monster cave.
More than nine months after Qin Tian entered the pool, the energy pool finally started to move, and a figure emerged from the water.
"Middle stage of Yuan Dan Realm. Haha, I, Qin Tian, have finally advanced to the Yuan Dan Realm, and I have made continuous breakthroughs."
Qin Tian shouted loudly, ecstatic and excited.
Back then, when he broke through the Taxu Realm, he expected that he would break through the Yuan Dan Realm around the age of forty.
He was almost forty-one and had yet to reach the barrier of the Void Realm, so he set a new goal of forty-three.
Unexpectedly, at the age of forty-three, there is still no sign of breakthrough.
He had to adjust his goal and set a goal of breaking through the Yuan Dan realm at the age of fifty.
Now that he has just reached the age of forty-six, he has been promoted to the Yuan Dan Realm, and he is in the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Realm. How can he not be excited.
In the Qin family, there has never been a precedent for continuous breakthroughs after the Yuan Dan realm.
The forty-six-year-old middle-stage Yuan Dan realm is definitely one of the top five among his peers.
After some excitement, his mood calmed down a bit. Suddenly, Qin Tian felt something was wrong.
He looked around the cave, but there was no one there except him.
It is unlikely that Li Yuan and others would leave him alone.
Qin Tian thought for a long time and guessed that Li Yuan and others were still in the pool.
"Gugu..."
The belly cries for hunger.
After not eating for more than nine months, I was starving.
Qin Tian no longer thought about it, took out the animal meat from Yun Jing, lit a fire, and roasted it.
In the days that followed, he was bored alone, so he had to practice his spear skills in the cave.
After a month of monotonous life, the calm lake surface was once again turbulent, and a figure flashed out.
Before Qin Chen could gain a firm foothold, Qin Tian flew over.
He noticed that Qin Chen's aura was much stronger than his. He opened his eyes wide with a look of surprise, and asked in a speculative tone: "Qin Chen, have you also broken through to the middle stage of the Yuan Dan realm?"
"Well, it's just the peak of the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, and it has not yet touched the barrier of the middle stage." Qin Chen touched his head and smiled stupidly, "Brother, you have also broken through, and you are also in the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Stage."
After entering the middle stage of Yuan Dan realm, Qin Tian was excited for a month.
At this moment, seeing Qin Chen's cultivation, he suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, his head drooping.
He walked slowly, walked to a nearby rock and sat down. He sighed softly and whispered: "You have made a breakthrough. I should be happy for you, but I really can't be happy now."
"What's wrong? Brother." Qin Chen was startled and quickly walked to Qin Tian's side, wondering.
Qin Tian sighed: "Compared with you, brother, it's just... ugh..."
"Ah." Qin Chen usually doesn't talk much, and for a moment he really didn't know how to speak. "Aren't we all at the middle stage of Yuan Dan realm?"
"Can a mid-term and a mid-term peak be the same?" Qin Tian clapped his hands vigorously and complained, "I am ten years older than you, ten years, ten years old, do you understand?"
Qin Chen was stunned and didn't know how to comfort Qin Tian.
He originally wanted to tell Qin Tian that the metal bones in his body had successfully evolved into gold and jade bones with this breakthrough in cultivation.
Looking at my brother's situation now, it seems that it is not the time to talk about this matter. I can only suppress this joy in my heart and wait for the opportunity to share it again.
After a moment of silence, Qin Tian's mood improved slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "At your age, you are already at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, and you are well-deserved to be the number one person in the Qin family. How can I compare with you.
"Although I am only in the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, my current family and my age are definitely among the top five."
After comforting himself for a few words, Qin Tian stood up, walked to Qin Chen, patted the latter's shoulder, and said: "It seems that the Qin family will have three Nirvana realm experts at the same time in the near future."
"Nirvana?" Qin Chen looked at Qin Tian with erratic eyes.
His dream is to surpass his grandfather and become the first person in the Qin family.
Now it seems that he is one step closer to his dream.
Qin Tian stretched his body, his bones cracking, and he looked in the direction of the cave entrance and said, "Qin Chen, when Li Yuan and the others come out, it's time for us to go home and see our parents. After coming out of Xingcheng, in a flash, another Almost two years.”
"Yeah." Qin Chen nodded lightly.
"When we go back this time, we must first let grandpa pass on the family's third-level skills to us, and we must also learn the family's third-level Yuanshu."
Qin Tian became excited again when he thought of Kung Fu and Yuan Shu.
It was really boring to live alone before, but now with Qin Chen, Qin Tian's words increased.
Three days later.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the energy pool, breaking the silence of the cave.
Immediately afterwards, a figure more than ten feet tall rushed up through the water and landed beside the pool. Water droplets fell, like light rain, pattering, echoing in the cave.
"Shi Chen?"
Qin Chen, who was sitting by the pool, stood up immediately, widened his eyes and said in shock.
Qin Tian flew over from a distance, looked at Shi Chen's huge body, felt the pressure from Shi Chen, and his expression condensed slightly: "Big man, what level have you broken through to? Why do I feel that the rocks on your body are not the same as before?" It’s different.”
At this moment, Shi Chen, who was standing by the pool, saw that the red and black rocks all over his body had turned into reddish brown, with a hint of golden yellow.
The small cracks that used to be filled with hot magma have become much wider.
The magma flowing in the body also turned golden yellow.
"The peak of the late Yuan Dan realm." Shi Chen answered honestly.
"Mom...ah..."
Qin Tian's foot slipped and fell to the ground.
After a while, Qin Tian sat on the ground, looking like he had abandoned his armor.
He murmured: "It's true, you guys are doing it one by one, it's so bullying."
Almost cried.
Qin Chen looked surprised and looked carefully at the golden lava flowing in the thick cracks on Shi Chen's body.
"Aren't Yun Qing and Li Yuan coming out yet? They won't go directly to the Nirvana realm."
After a while, Qin Tian, who was sitting on the ground, stared at the water and said half-jokingly.
When Shi Chen and Qin Chen heard this, they also looked at the pool of water.
Two people became three people.
Qin Tian has always liked talking to Shi Chen, and now the conversation is open again.
