It doesn't actually matter how Chu Yuan entered the Yu Nian Hui. The Yu Nian Hui and the even deeper hidden Ten Years Hui have always existed within the Wuling Sect. The root cause is that it is difficult to build the foundation, and only a few Qi Refining disciples can build it. Foundation, but which Qi Refining disciple doesn’t want to build a foundation?

Generally speaking, among ten qi-refining monks, only three to four can build a foundation. This means that qi-refining disciples have less than 40% chance of being able to build a foundation, and the qi-refining disciples mentioned here also include those who Those with a teaching background. It is even more difficult for Foundation Establishment monks to form an elixir. If only five of a hundred Foundation Establishment monks are able to form an elixir, that is a very large proportion. Moreover, there is a saying that it is difficult to form a Foundation Establishment. When the monks later face the big pass of forming pills, it will be even more difficult. However, those are not the concerns of Qi refining disciples. After all, only after building the foundation can the monks have a longer life span. This is the most important thing. Basically, it is also what the monks value the most. The longevity of the foundation-building monks is much longer than that of the Qi-refining monks. Over the long years, through their unremitting efforts or if some opportunity falls on them, they may be able to form a knot. Dan, well, at least that's what they think.

In the world of cultivation, secret organizations like the Yu Nian Hui and the Ten Year Hui exist not only in the Five Spirits Sect, but also in the six sects in the world. The other small sects and other large and small aristocratic families that cannot be compared with the six sects, Even if there are no similar organizations, there are similar situations. Especially within an aristocratic family, no matter how big or small the family is, whether it is strong or not, there is a more cruel competition hidden under the blood relationship between the qi-refining disciples in the family. With the qi-refining disciples of Wuling Sect, they can accumulate their own souls. Unlike Shi Nong's Foundation Establishment Pill, the children of aristocratic families have all their spiritual needs provided by their families. If the elders of the family judge that there is no hope for Foundation Establishment, basically no resources will be wasted on them. Therefore, in order to build the Foundation, It is not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other and to kill each other.

Chu Yuan's first attempt to build a foundation by taking the Foundation Establishment Pill failed. Before that, he had learned the name of "Yu Nianhui" from some familiar people around him, and since then he had learned about a kind of medicine called "Moi Yun". The treasure "Jade Fat Lamp" can help Qi Refining monks build their foundation, but it is very difficult to obtain. The lamp is easy to find, just take a small plate and insert a wick at will. The key is the secret lamp oil in the lamp. It's really hard to find. There has always been a rumor in Yu Nian Hui. The general idea is that many years ago, a certain senior brother of Yu Nian Hui once obtained that kind of jade fat lamp, and then successfully built the foundation with the help of this treasure, and even talked about the sect with a clear face. A certain Foundation Establishment Senior Brother inside is the same Senior Brother from the Yunianhui back then.

It was impossible for anyone to ask that senior brother, so such rumors were quite tempting. In addition, when Chu Yuan failed to build the foundation for the first time, he was uneasy and worried, so through the persuasion of others, he became Yu Nian. A member of the society.

As a member of Yu Nianhui, Chu Yuan followed those people in and out at that time. What I want to say here is that at the beginning they were not staring at Luo Ying and others. Luo Ying was not the only disciple in the sect who could open the ruins. Later, they The main target was placed on Luo Ying. But at that time, Chu Yuan was thinking, even if there can be moisin jade lamps in a ruins, how many can there be? Look at the people around you, dozens to hundreds, so many people... What if there is only one lamp in the ruins?

In fact, what else can be done?

Before the thing appeared, everyone could still work together, but as long as a mosaic jade lamp was placed in front of everyone, the people of Yu Nianhui would immediately start fighting over each other with red eyes. After thinking about this, Compared with Luo Ying and other people who opened the ruins who were targeted by them, Chu Yuan was more wary of his accomplices who also coveted the Haoyun Jade Fat Lamp.

Of course, in those years of Yu Nianhui, he never got a single lamp, let alone heard of anyone who was lucky enough to get such a lamp. Later, as his life span gradually depleted, the extremely anxious fire in his heart The fever became more and more intense, and as he stayed in Yu Nianhui for longer and longer, Chu Yuan was noticed again because of his cautiousness and thoughtfulness. After someone quietly talked to him several times, he Then he became a member of the ten-year association.

And that year, he only had ten years left to live.

Compared to the hundreds of people from the Ten Years Association who were led by Chu Yuan when he left, the number of people from the Ten Years Association was very small and could even be counted on two hands.

Here Chu Yuan also told Qian Chao that in addition to Luo Ying and Qian Chao, there were other Qi refining disciples in the sect who were also proficient in the art of formation, but they either never made it public or were not well-known. People's actions are always watched by the people of the Ten Years Association, but in Chu Yuan's opinion, Qian Chao's formation technique should be the most profound one among them.

After becoming a member of the Ten Year Club, Chu Yuan realized that the so-called Yu Nian Club was just a lackey of the Ten Year Club. There were so many people in the Yu Nian Club who gathered together. Although there were many shrewd people among them, Yu Nian Club had always been in a state of chaos. Under the command of the Annual Meeting, who within the sect has the means to open the ruins, and where there are ruins outside the sect, these key things are all in the hands of the Ten Year Meeting. Even if a mosaic jade-fat lamp really appears, it will inevitably trigger a crazy fight among the people of the Yu Nianhui. At this time, as the leaders, the people of the ten-year society are also sure that the mosaic jade-fat lamp can finally be used. fell into his own hands.

The reason for this certainty is precisely because of the core secret of the Ten-Year Meeting - the Cold Pool!

After Chu Yuan joined the Ten Years Association, he was taken to Hanchichi in a very secretive manner. It was there that he met Xing Rang.

Xing Rang has disappeared since he was searched by the sect. For a long time, Chu Yuan almost forgot about this guy who participated in the inner hall sword armor examination twice. In fact, he didn't know Xing Rang at first, but when he saw him in the underground cave of Hanchichi and was introduced to him, he suddenly remembered who this person was.

Chu Yuan didn't know anything about Xing Rang's experiences over the years and why he was able to hide in the cold pool. These must also be Xing Rang's secrets, and naturally he would not tell outsiders. But he got something from Chu Yuan's hand, a well-made...evil sword!

When talking to Qian Chao and others, the evil sword was in Chu Yuan's storage bag. He also took it out and showed it to Qian Chao. This evil sword was the one that people from the Ten Year Club could subdue many Yu Nianhui. To ensure that after the Mozun Jade Lamp really appears, this lamp can fall into the hands of the people of the Ten Years Association.

At that time, Qian Chao also asked whether Xing Rang was an evil cultivator. Chu Yuan did not know the answer to this question, so he could only tell Qian Chao that Xing Rang did not look like an evil cultivator, but just an ordinary Qi refining disciple. appearance.

But Chu Yuan can be sure of one thing... Xing Rang must be connected with evil cultivators, or even with some secret evil cultivators in the world of cultivation.

As mentioned before, after becoming an evil cultivator, the daily methods of increasing cultivation and the methods of breaking through bottlenecks are completely different from ordinary monks. Compared with ordinary monks, evil cultivators do not have to worry about the bottleneck of foundation building, but it is said that evil cultivators Building a foundation requires a cruel process, in which many innocent monks will be killed. Basically, no one in the Ten-Year Association has used normal methods to build a foundation in the past hundred years. Many of them died of despair after their life span was exhausted. Of course, some people just gritted their teeth because they were unwilling to do so. As soon as the mind wanders, he does evil cultivation, builds the foundation through evil cultivation, and then continues to live in the world. However, the evil cultivators need to kill many innocent monks to build the foundation. If they build the foundation here in Wuling Sect, it will definitely arouse the alarm within the sect and trigger another search and arrest. Even if the evil cultivators are powerful, even if they succeed in building the foundation , but in the face of a large sect like the Wuling Sect, they were also unable to resist. Therefore, all those who were determined to do evil cultivators in the Ten-Year Association quietly left the Wuling Sect under Xing Rang's guidance. In this way, no matter how much trouble they cause in the cultivation world because of foundation building, they will not let themselves be targeted by the Five Spirits Sect.

As for where those who had become evil cultivators would go, Chu Yuan later found out that there was once a guy who had been acquainted with him for ten years and had become evil cultivators. After Yuan said goodbye, Chu Yuan asked the man where he was going.

The man replied that Xing Rang had given him a map and asked him to follow the map and search for it after leaving Ruixuan Town. Chu Yuan did not see the map, but the man added one last sentence, saying that he wanted to He went to a secret place in the Evil Weapon Hall, and when he got there, as long as he took out the evil sword that Xing gave him and showed it to the other party, the other party would know where he came from and would accept him. Then he will serve the Evil Weapon Hall in the spiritual world.

This is not the first time Qian Chao has heard of the name of the Evil Weapon Hall. He has heard of the name of the Evil Weapon Hall before in rumors among disciples, in records in some books, and even from the mouths of his inner brothers, but this time This is the first time someone has clearly linked the Evil Weapon Hall and Hanchichi with a fugitive Five Spirits Qi Refining disciple. From this, Xing Rang must also be a member of the Evil Weapon Hall!

But when did he become a member of the Evil Weapon Hall?

He stole books from the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall. Was it the Xieqi Hall that asked him to do it?

Chu Yuan also said a lot about the cold pool. It is indeed a place of chaotic spiritual energy. Most people, let alone Qi refining disciples, even the brothers who build the foundation and even the elders who form the pills, cannot even think of going deep into it if the method is wrong. , if you break in forcefully, you may be in danger of losing your life. However, Chu Yuan was a member of the ten-year association, so he naturally knew how to enter the cold pool. He told Qian Chao the entrance to the cold pool and how to enter it without any secret. At the same time, he also told Qian Chao that there were seven cold pools in total. Although they all lead to underground caves, each entrance can enter a different place and is not connected to each other. Chu Yuan only knows how to enter the cold pool through one of the entrances. In addition, he also knows He didn't know the location of the other two entrances, but he didn't know how to enter. He didn't know the locations of the remaining four entrances either.

Although he often goes in and out of Hanchichi, Hanchichi is still a place full of mystery and danger for Chu Yuan. Every time he goes to Hanchichi, Chu Yuan always has a frightening feeling, and after staying there for a long time, he always feels that His anger became stronger and stronger, and he always felt comfortable when he saw blood in front of him. This was also the reason why Chu Yuan was afraid of Hanchichi. .

As for Wen Liang, Chu Yuan had heard about it. He also knew that Xing Rang was currently cooperating with Wen Liang, and he didn't know what the two men were planning. Wen Liang has never appeared in front of anyone in the Ten Years Association. Of course, he has probably been to Hanchi Pond. After all, there are seven entrances there. If he entered from other entrances, even if Chu Yuan was also in Hanchi Pond at the time, he would not be able to see him. .

Finally, Chu Yuan also told Qian Chao a rumor about Xing Rang during the ten-year meeting, that is, Xing Rang could not enter the bottom layer of the cold pool, and there seemed to be something there that was difficult for Xing Rang. It is extremely important. It is said that if it were not for that thing, Xing Rang would have left the Wuling Sect and traveled far away. Some people even said that he cooperated with Wen Liang just to get to the bottom layer of the cold pool to get that thing.

This is another very important clue.

Qian Chao also asked him to put away the evil sword that Chu Yuan took out. In the future, he would go in and out of the cold pool. If the evil sword disappeared, it might arouse Xing Rang's suspicion. At the same time, Qian Chao also had an affair with Chu Yuan. After agreeing on a place to meet secretly in the future, his residence was naturally not suitable. He had to find a place that was both private and out of sight. They would meet there at a certain time every month, and then Chu Yuan would tell Qian Chao the news he had learned. .

As for the jade lamp, Chu Yuan took it away. There was still one more lamp left. Qian Chao promised that he would find it for him. They had already sworn an oath, so Chu Yuan naturally no longer doubted it. After everything had been said, , after it was better to meet again, he left.

But before leaving, Chu Yuan also said that almost everyone in the ten-year meeting knew that Qian Chao was good at formation techniques. Even if Chu Yuan stopped keeping an eye on Qian Chao in the future, there might be others who would beat him up. idea, so Qian Chao and others should be more careful when going out in the future.

The above was all that Qian Chao and Chu Yuan talked about that night. Qian Chao told Ma Hu everything.

I knew a lot of things that I didn't know before and seemed to be very important. It can't be said that I didn't gain anything. However, I couldn't catch Wen Liang right away with these things. This made Ma Hu still a little anxious, but he also understood that dealing with Wen Liang like this The characters cannot be in a hurry, they can only plan step by step. Fortunately, this time a nail has finally been wedged in between Wen Liang and Xing Rang, and important news may come in the future.

Ma Hu later asked Qian Chao what to do next, and Qian Chao said that he would first listen to Chu Yuan's news, hoping to learn more about Wen Liang from him, even if he couldn't find out anything about the punishment. Rang's news is also good. After all, Xing Rang is cooperating with Wen Liang. From Xing Rang's movements, we can also infer what Wen Liang is doing.

This is the closest opportunity for Qian Chao and others to get close to Wen Liang. Ma Hu can only wait like Qian Chao. However, when leaving, Ma Hu reminded Qian Chao that the time he rescued Zuo You would definitely make Wen Liang hate him. In the future, Wen Liang might find ways to harm him and ask him to be more careful; in addition, although Chu Yuan agreed to contribute to Qian Chao, he only had a little more than three years of life left, so he wanted to use Chu Yuan to help him. To deal with Wen Liang and Xing Rang, it must be done within this period of time, otherwise Chu Yuan will definitely have to build a foundation, and then there will be no news about Xing Rang.

It seems that Wen Liang must be eliminated before Chu Yuan builds the foundation!
