A year later, in a secluded manor, Shen Long, Lin Yutong, Wei Tianming, Xu Yang and Qin Yunyan sat around a blue stone table, drinking tea and chatting.
They have been in Jiang Country for more than a year and have been looking for traces of the barbarian monks. Unfortunately, they have not been able to find the barbarian monks.
There have been no major disturbances in Jiang State, which is a good thing.
"Seven barbarian monks attacked the Li family of the Wei Kingdom. They were severely wounded by the Li family's clan-protecting formation. They left behind three corpses and fled the Wei Kingdom. They are now missing."
Qin Yunyan said.
"Weiguo? It's too far away from us. The barbarians have hit the wall this time. I thought they were invincible!"
Lin Yutong said.
"How can you not keep your shoes wet if you stand by the river all the time! They frequently attack our human strongholds. It is impossible to always have smooth sailing. It will only be a matter of time before we hit the iron plate. Having said that, the decisive battle is about to begin!"
Wei Tianming said.
"It's probably going to be soon. The barbarians can't delay it for so long. Speaking of which, this war is a bit inexplicable! Is the sudden fight just to weaken the strength of the barbarians?"
Xu Yang said.
"Maybe! By the way, after a while, Xuanyu Temple held a Xuanyu Dharma Ceremony and invited many forces to participate. Are you interested in participating?"
Qin Yunyan asked.
"Is it the Nascent Soul Celebration? Anyway, there's nothing to do. It's okay to go and see the world. It's not a matter of just waiting for something to happen."
Wei Tianming said.
The Yuan Ying ancestors of the Qin family were fighting on the front line. Shen Long analyzed that the enemy might attack the Qin family, so he stayed in the market, hoping to wait and see.
They have been guarding for more than a year, and no barbarians have attacked the Qin family.
"Yes! It's okay to join in the fun."
Xu Yang echoed.
"I won't go. You can go if you want! Pay attention to safety on the road."
Shen Long said.
Every time the Xuanyu Dharma Conference is held, many alchemy monks will attend. Shen Long still wants to continue to stay in Qinghufang City.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, let's go together! It's useless to stay in Qinghufang City all the time."
Lin Yutong advised.
"No, you can just go. I plan to refine several furnaces of elixirs. These are the materials I need to collect. Senior Brother Xu, if you find out, help me get them as much as possible. I won't let you suffer."
Shen Long took out a blue jade slip and handed it to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang agreed and put away the jade slips.
After chatting for a while, they dispersed.
Back at his residence, Shen Long walked into a secret room with a red futon.
He sat cross-legged on the red futon, took out the red crow cauldron and the alchemy materials, and began to refine the elixir.
He opened his mouth and spit out a ball of blue-red flames, which landed at the bottom of the red crow cauldron. The temperature in the room rose rapidly.
He threw the materials into the red crow cauldron one after another and closed the cauldron lid.
Not long after, a faint medicinal fragrance floated out from the Red Crow Cauldron and filled the entire secret room.

In Juman City, Yuling Garden, Liu Zian and Du Yinyin were sitting in a blue stone pavilion. Liu Zian's face was pale and he looked a little haggard.
Not long ago, the barbarian tribe and the human tribe started fighting again. This time, the barbarian tribe dispatched more than thirty Nascent Soul monks. The human tribe naturally did not show weakness and dispatched more than fifty Nascent Soul monks. Liu Zian was injured by the Nascent Soul stage barbarians. Fortunately, Du Yinyin came to the rescue in time and Liu Zian was not in danger.
"It seems that the barbarians can't delay for long and are ready to start a decisive battle with us."
Du Yinyin said.
In the recent war, the human race lost four Nascent Soul monks, the barbarians lost six Nascent Soul monks, and the Alchemy monks suffered even greater losses.
"This is to be expected. The number of high-level barbarian monks is not as good as ours. After fighting for so long, their losses are not small. The ten major tribes probably want to end the war as soon as possible. They cannot consume us."
Liu Zian analyzed.
The number of high-level human monks far outnumbered the barbarians. They used their strengths to avoid their weaknesses. The humans and the barbarians were engaged in a war of attrition. The barbarians simply couldn't compete and were eager to start a decisive battle with them.
"I hope the war will end as soon as possible! Our Yuling Sect can no longer run out, and the number of Danjie monks has been seriously reduced."
Du Yinyin sighed, with a sad look on her face.
The Yuling Sect has lost more than ten pill-forming monks, and the foundation-building monks have suffered even more casualties.
In order to replenish its troops, Yuling Sect has opened its gates to recruit disciples.
Du Yinyin took out a golden dharma plate and typed in a dharma formula. A deep man's voice sounded: "Fairy Du, Fellow Daoist Lu invited us to the meeting hall to discuss the war. It is estimated that a decisive battle will begin, and the barbarians cannot afford to delay it."
"I know, I'll be there right away."
Du Yinyin agreed and put away the golden dharma plate.
"Sure enough, Senior Brother Liu guessed it right. Fellow Daoist Lu is probably planning a decisive battle."
Du Yinyin said.
Liu Zian nodded and said, "Fortunately, Senior Nephew Shen is in the rear and doesn't need to participate in the decisive battle. You can go to the meeting! Let's discuss it slowly when we come back."
Du Yinyin responded, stood up and walked out.
······
Jiangguo, Qinghufang City.
In a certain secret room, Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red futon, his eyes fixed on the Red Crow Cauldron in front of him.
The secret room shook violently. Shen Long frowned, took out a red communication disk, and typed in a magic formula. Qin Yunyan's panicked voice sounded: "Fellow Daoist Shen, the evil cultivator and the barbarian cultivator colluded together. There is trouble in the city, and I ask you to help.”
A huge explosion could be heard vaguely, and the secret room was shaking continuously.
"I'll be out right away."
Shen Long said, putting away the interrogation tray.
He put away the spiritual flame, and the furnace of elixir was scrapped. Who would have thought that the barbarians would really attack Fangshi.
Shen Long put away the Red Crow Cauldron and rushed out. A huge explosion could be heard.
He jumped into the air and could see Qin Yunyan and Qin Yunfeng fighting with the enemy. There were four enemies in total, three men and one woman. The leader was a big man in a gold shirt with a big waist and a round waist. He had the cultivation of the late stage of pill formation.
The city was filled with flames, and the bodies of many human monks could be seen.
"Four Danjie monks dare to attack Fangshi? Does the other party have other plans? Or does it choose the right time?"
Shen Long frowned, his face full of confusion.
It has to be said that the barbarian monks chose the time very well. The Xuanyu Dharma Assembly had already been held, and many alchemy monks went to attend the Xuanyu Dharma Assembly.
Without thinking much, he slapped a golden spirit beast bag on his waist, and hundreds of thousands of golden-winged fire ants flew out from it, quickly condensing into a golden spear with golden flames on its surface, and headed straight for the man in the golden shirt.
A man in a golden shirt and a plump woman in a purple skirt were attacking Qin Yunyan, who was a little confused.
Two Danjie monks suddenly attacked the Qin family's Danjie monks. The two Danjie monks were plotted and died. Qin Yunyan and Qin Yunfeng hurriedly met the enemy.
There is a large flow of people in Fang City, and it is normal for evil cultivators to sneak in. Qin Yunyan did not expect that evil cultivators would cooperate with barbarian monks, which would be troublesome.
The big man in a golden shirt was holding a golden giant axe. There was a black crow silhouette in the void above his head. The black crow silhouette opened its mouth and spurted out a thick black flame, heading straight for Qin Yunyan.
