"All living things are the same, whether they are humans or animals, there will always be fights."
Lu'an said: "There is often more than one extraordinary creature in the restricted area, but if there are too many, there will be fights. The winners will stay, and the losers will leave..."
The restricted area that Lu'an was talking about was in a deep mountain in Dayun Province. The fight between two extraordinary creatures turned the restricted area upside down.
The two extraordinary creatures in the restricted area had fought with each other before, but they did not take any action against the humans who entered the restricted area, so it was considered a relatively peaceful restricted area.
But the two extraordinary creatures were so jealous that they didn't care so much. The cultivators who were practicing in the restricted area suffered heavy casualties and escaped one after another.
Lu'an went there to support, but he was only a monk in the early stage of foundation building and couldn't even defeat an extraordinary creature, let alone one on two.
As soon as he entered Lu'an, he was injured by one of the extraordinary creatures. Fortunately, the target of the two extraordinary creatures was not him, otherwise Lu'an would not even be able to escape.
Later, the fight between the two extraordinary creatures came to an end. The defeated one dragged his body to leave the restricted area, but Lu'an entangled it outside and then killed it with modern weapons.
"Uncle Liu'an, are you trying too hard?"
After hearing what happened, Su Xiaofan was a little confused. Why did it seem that there was no one in the relevant department? He had used a Liu'an to such an extent that he had to go to the front even if he was injured.
"There is no way, there are too many restricted areas and too few manpower."
Lu'an smiled bitterly and said: "In the past few decades, more and more space cracks have appeared. The population is really not enough. In many places, there are not even cultivators stationed, so we can only let the troops pass."
"Actually, extraordinary creatures generally don't leave the restricted area. They only come out under certain circumstances."
Lu'an continued: "In the restricted area, defeated extraordinary creatures will often surrender to the winner, and then they can stay in the restricted area.
Only those who would rather die than surrender will escape from the restricted area. The main thing we have to deal with is the latter. Letting them enter civilized society will be too harmful. "
"Uncle Lu'an, how many extraordinary creatures are there in the Death Zone?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly asked.
"Have you passed over yet?"
Lu'an glanced at Su Xiaofan and Jing Shizhen and said, "That place is too dangerous. I know there are two of them, but no one knows the actual number."
"There are two?"
Su Xiaofan and Jing Shizhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. There are actually extraordinary creatures in the Devil's Valley that can compete with the giant ape?
"Yes, two. The one on the outside is a giant ape. There seems to be another one inside, but I don't know anything about it."
"But according to our judgment, the extraordinary creature inside is definitely stronger than the giant ape. However, it has never been seen, so we can't judge its specific strength."
"Damn it, is it more ferocious than that giant ape?"
Su Xiaofan was a little dumbfounded. The giant ape alone prevented him and his master from taking even half a step into the Devil's Valley. And in the depths of the Devil's Valley, there were even more terrifying existences.
"Well, the giant ape should have surrendered, otherwise he would be kicked out of the death zone."
Lu'an nodded firmly and said: "We also have some precautions. If the giant ape has the consciousness to come out, laser-guided weapons will hit it immediately..."
"What?"
Hearing Lu'an's words, Su Xiaofan and Jing Shizhen suddenly broke into cold sweats, because the giant ape had come out of the valley before.
"Have you ever lured it out?"
Lu'an looked at the master and apprentice with a strange expression. He really didn't know whether they were brave people with high skills or not afraid of death, so they dared to provoke that guy.
"It'll be fine if you don't get out of that canyon, otherwise you two, tsk tsk..."
Lu'an understood as soon as he saw the expressions on the master and apprentice's faces, and couldn't help but give Jing Shizhen a thumbs up.
"Where are the other restricted areas? You know what I'm asking about." Jing Shizhen asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, all restricted areas where no one is stationed are monitored. In fact, Shuangmen Village also has them."
Lu'an did not tell Jing Shizhen these things before, because firstly, there were discipline constraints, and secondly, Jing Shizhen would call him every time he went to the restricted area, and it didn't matter whether he told him or not.
But now that Jing Shizhen actually accepted a disciple of the same level and began to plan for a restricted area, Lu'an had to tell him some confidential things.
"Then you will know every time we go to the restricted area?"
Jing Shizhen's face didn't look good. Let alone him, even Su Xiaofan didn't like to be under surveillance.
"What's weird about that? You can just go and no one will stop you."
Lu'an said with a smile: "You are willing to go to the restricted area to fight extraordinary creatures. Our department is eager to do so. If you can kill one, I promise to give you a medal."
"Then my disciple's cultivation level can no longer be hidden?"
Jing Shizhen thought that although Su Xiaofan did not take action outside the canyon, who knew whether they had arranged surveillance inside the canyon.
"I definitely can't hide it. I guess those old guys have known about it for a long time."
Lu'an nodded. In fact, he belonged to the middle-aged generation in the relevant department, and there were a few older guys above him.
However, each of those people is a national treasure and will not be dispatched easily. They are now scattered in some restricted areas to guard and practice.
"Just know it if you know it. Anyway, I haven't done anything bad."
Su Xiaofan showed no concern on his face, but he was panicking in his heart.
Su Xiaofan's progress in cultivation can no longer be described as genius. It is inevitable that some people will be interested in him.
"I know you have a secret!"
Lu'an looked at Su Xiaofan and said, "Lao Jing didn't take you as a disciple a year ago, and he can take you in for a year at most.
Being able to break through the Big and Small Zhoutian one after another in one year and become a master of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm, I am afraid that only a few people have been able to do it since ancient times! "
“I’m so gifted that I can easily enter an epiphany state.”
Su Xiaofan said reluctantly, already thinking about his escape route. Should he run to a restricted area to hide?
"No matter what luck you have, I believe this kind of luck cannot be replicated."
Lu'an shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry. Since it's a recurrence, the relevant departments won't do anything to you. You just have to be a fair and law-abiding person."
"Uncle Liu'an, I am a good boy who pays taxes according to regulations, donates money in case of disasters, and helps old ladies across the street."
Su Xiaofan quickly expressed his loyalty. He didn't want to be targeted by people from relevant departments. If the huge state machine wanted to deal with him, it was not something he could easily capture.
"Lu'an, don't scare the children."
Jing Shizhen looked a little confused and said, "What's wrong with our master and apprentice's high cultivation and not borrowing your resources? Don't provoke us, otherwise we, master and apprentice, will go to foreign restricted areas to stay."
"It may not be easy to get along abroad."
Lu'an waved his hand and said, "Who provoked you? You have been doing business in China for decades. Apart from giving you convenience, has anyone ever come to you?"
"That's true, your credibility has always been very good."
Jing Shizhen nodded, "Tell me, what do you want to say after you've been talking for a long time?"
"There will be an operation by relevant departments before the year, and I want you two, master and apprentice, to come over and help."
With the relationship between Lu'an and Jing Shizhen, there is naturally nothing that cannot be said.
However, he originally wanted to invite only Jing Shizhen, but now that he met Su Xiaofan, he naturally wanted to invite him in.
"what activity?"
Jing Shizhen said: "Let's make an agreement first. It's up to us to decide whether to go or not, and we must be paid if we go!"
After hearing the master's words, Su Xiaofan nodded. It's fine as long as the master makes the decision on this kind of matter. He has more experience than me.
Moreover, what Lu'an said just now also gave Su Xiaofan some reassurance.
The reason why it is half a reassurance is that there is still half a doubt.
Su Xiaofan was afraid that some crazy guy would come out and insist on finding out why he was promoted so quickly. You know, there are many people who have such paranoid thoughts and actions.
"Create a restricted area, establish a restricted area that belongs entirely to us humans!"
Lu'an clenched his fist and said: "Now all the restricted areas are occupied by extraordinary creatures. Our power inside is too weak, and many researches cannot be carried out."
"This is wrong. How can we not control even a single restricted area?"
Jing Shizhen said with some suspicion: "Aren't there any extraordinary creatures in the restricted area of Dadong Province where we went last time?"
"That's not a restricted area. Didn't I tell you before?"
Lu'an glanced at Jing Shizhen strangely and said: "Only space cracks that have appeared for more than three hundred years and cover an area of more than one hundred kilometers can be called forbidden areas.
The energy quality and capacity in the restricted area are unmatched by other space cracks. Only the creatures derived from the restricted area are of research value to us.
Our study of forbidden areas has only happened in the past hundred years, and the creatures in forbidden areas that are more than a few hundred years old are unimaginably powerful, just like the giant ape you have seen, it may just be a loser in the death forbidden area..."
"I thought that apart from the five restricted areas, all the others can also be called restricted areas, but the levels are just different."
Jing Shizhen coughed a few times in embarrassment. He and Su Xiaofan had boasted before that he had traveled to restricted areas at home and abroad, but now he was slapped in the face.
Although Jing Shizhen knows that restricted areas are divided according to extraordinary creatures, and there are at least four extraordinary creatures in the general restricted area.
But in Jing Shizhen's view, there is no difference between one and four, so except for places like Shuangmen Village, Jing Shizhen almost calls all other places restricted areas.
"Thermal weapons cannot be used in the restricted area, how can we fight?"
Su Xiaofan didn't have time to care about the restricted area. He looked at the problem and pointed it to the essence, "Master Liu'an, we can't even deal with a giant ape. If there is a creature more powerful than it, then it will be in vain for Master and I to go there... "
"Not every extraordinary creature is as powerful as the giant ape."
Lu'an shook his head and said: "Soldiers will fight against generals. Powerful extraordinary creatures will naturally have powerful people to deal with them. You only need to deal with extraordinary creatures with similar cultivation levels."
"Uncle Lu'an, how many extraordinary creatures are there in the restricted area you mentioned?" Su Xiaofan was not fooled so easily.
"Five!"
Lu'an said in a deep voice: "This restricted area is extremely hostile to us humans, and there are many good things in it, so the higher-ups decided to knock it down to prevent them from doing evil in the future."
"Do we have a master in the Yangshen realm?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes flashed and he stared at Lu'an and asked.
"This has!"
Lu'an hesitated for a moment, but he still said it. If he wanted to ask someone to do something, he would definitely not be able to hide it.
"Don't spread the word outside, this matter must be kept secret."
Lu'an unconsciously lowered his voice a little and said: "Senior Yang Shen has to deal with the most powerful extraordinary creature. In addition to me, there are eight people in the Three Flowers Gathering Realm who are going to take action this time. The battle is won!"
"Damn it, there are so many people in the Three Flowers Gathering Realm now?"
Hearing Lu'an's words, Jing Shizhen, a person who usually pretends to be polite, couldn't help but curse.
Jing Shizhen originally thought that she had reached the realm of Three Flowers Gathering, and that she could be among the top three or five in the current world of cultivation.
But what Jing Shizhen didn't expect was that eight people from relevant departments suddenly appeared. It was estimated that except for Lu'an, none of them would be weaker than him, who had just been promoted.
"Relevant departments have killed some extraordinary creatures in recent years. The country is more powerful than you think..."
Lu'an said apologetically: "It's just that my contribution is not enough to exchange you for the inner elixir. The most important thing is that such strategic materials are generally not allowed to leak out."
"Hey, I wouldn't have gotten it without you."
Jing Shizhen pretended not to care and waved his hand. He naturally knew what Lu'an meant. He didn't even have enough for this, so how could he give it to outsiders.
"The nine of you plus a senior Yang Shen, plus our master and apprentice, make us twelve people."
Jing Shizhen turned to look at Su Xiaofan, "What do you think? Should we go?"
Although he was Su Xiaofan's master, Jing Shizhen also knew that apart from providing introductions to Su Xiaofan and giving him exercises, he had hardly helped Su Xiaofan. He could not help his disciples make decisions about this kind of thing.
"what is the benefit?"
Twelve against five, there is also an enigmatic Senior Yang Shen, and Su Xiaofan thinks he can participate.
"Yes, what are the benefits?"
Jing Shizhen also followed up and asked, except for money, their master and apprentice had very little resources for cultivation.
"What do you want?"
Lu'an said: "I can't promise you anything, but you can bring it up and I'll submit it. If possible, we'll make a deal!"
When the trip to Lu'an came, someone talked to him and asked him to recruit Jing Shizhen to participate in this operation. After all, it is dangerous to fight extraordinary creatures in the restricted area. Having more masters can give you more confidence.
"I?"
Jing Shizhen touched her chin and thought for a while before saying, "If I can successfully kill several extraordinary creatures, I want an inner elixir!"
"Brother Jing, I'm not in a hurry, you don't need to take risks..."
Aunt Mei, who had been silent next to her, was moved and shouted out. She knew that this inner elixir, Jing Shizhen, was for her.
"Axiang, this is a rare opportunity. Twelve against five, it's worth fighting for." Jing Shizhen thought the same as Su Xiaofan.
"Brother Jing..."
"Ashanti……"
"Ahem, you think I'm dead!"
Lu'an really couldn't stand it. Jing Shizhen, a bastard, just wanted to take away Axiang, but he actually acted like a dog in front of him. This was really intolerable.
"Uncle Liu'an, my master said that Aunt Mei doesn't like you."
Su Xiaofan was almost unable to stand the show by those two people, so he couldn't help but tell the truth.
"He farts. If I hadn't quit on my own initiative, who would Ah Xiang be with?"
Lu'an was so angry that Su Xiaofan provoked him. When he was a young man, he naturally had thoughts about Mei Xiang, but since Mei Xiang fell in love with Jing Shizhen, a bastard, he, Lu'an, naturally couldn't fight for her love.
But Jing Shizhen, a bastard, later married someone else, leaving Mei Xiang to wait in vain for decades.
Although Lu'an was already married and had children at that time, he still fought against Mei Xiang. When he quit, he and Mei Xiang became sworn brothers and sisters, so naturally they couldn't ignore it.
Therefore, Lu'an and Jing Shizhen have been fighting each other for decades, and sometimes it seems to outsiders that they have some sworn hatred, all because of this incident.
"You're the one farting, Axiang chose me from the beginning to the end!"
Jing Shizhen was naturally unwilling to be outdone and could not give in on this issue of sovereignty.
"It's really rare to see three old guys who are over 200 years old being so jealous."
Su Xiaofan leaned on the sofa comfortably, took an apple in one hand to eat, and petted the tiger cat with the other, turning on the movie-watching mode.
"You brat, learn how to sow discord."
After scolding each other for a while, Jing Shizhen finally remembered that Su Xiaofan was still here, and immediately stopped and said angrily: "Will you give me the inner elixir? If you give me, I'll go. If you don't, I won't go."
"If I don't pull him down, it's like I won't help Axiang fight for it."
Liu'an said angrily: "Axiang, don't ask for this old scumbag's inner elixir. Brother Liu, I'll get one for you."
Mei Xiang glanced at the two of them, "Okay, you two are almost two hundred years old together. Isn't it nice to quarrel in front of the juniors?"
"I count the three of them as over two hundred years old."
Su Xiaofan continued to watch the show happily, what's wrong with being single? Single beings won't quarrel over women.
"It's okay, it's okay, you continue." Su Xiaofan said suddenly when he was happy.
"Su Xiaofan!"
The eyes of the three people were immediately focused on Su Xiaofan, and Jing Shizhen even raised his palm.
"Ahem, Master Lu'an, can you get the inner elixir? Just blow it now, otherwise my master wouldn't have been able to get it for so many years."
Seeing that the flames of war were about to draw him, Su Xiaofan quickly brought the topic to the inner elixir, and was trying to help his master.
"That's right, do you have that ability?"
Hearing the disciple's words, Jing Shizhen immediately felt very good. This is only right. The master and the disciple must be consistent in dealing with the outside world.
"Grandma, I can't quarrel with you two with just my mouth."
Lu'an also saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately said: "I can't promise you the inner elixir now, but if you can seriously injure or kill an extraordinary creature during the operation, I should be able to get one."
"Okay, just say this."
Jing Shizhen nodded. He knew that Lu'an would also want to help Mei Xiang get an inner elixir, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to contribute when the time came.
"What about you? What do you want?"
Lu'an looked at Su Xiaofan angrily. He originally thought that this handsome boy was a good boy, but he didn't expect that he was a little scumbag like his master.
"What do I want?"
Su Xiaofan pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said: "I want a meteorite, a rare meteorite, an extremely rare meteorite!"
There were three meteorites in a row, which made Lu'an a little dumbfounded. This thing seemed to have nothing to do with cultivation.
Items that cannot be eaten, drank, or aided in cultivation, no matter how rare they are, are not worth a single elixir in Lu'an's eyes.
"Xiaofan, what do you want the meteorite for?"
Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan. He had felt that his disciple was a little too enthusiastic about meteorites.
It's just that Su Xiaofan didn't tell her before, and he didn't want to ask more questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets in their hearts.
"Practice!"
Su Xiaofan was silent for a while and then uttered two words.
Su Xiaofan thought twice before saying that he needed meteorites.
As his cultivation level increases, the number of rare meteorites Su Xiaofan needs will gradually increase.
But it’s really too slow to find this stuff by yourself, or to take pictures from abroad.
Brother Gang arrived in England, and now he has only received a rare meteorite, and spent more than 8 million, which shows that this road is not very reliable.
But using the power of the state is different.
Su Xiaofan knew that most of the meteorites that had fallen over the years had been taken away by some scientific research departments.
There are also a large part lost in inaccessible no-man's land and forests, and it is estimated that not even 10% of them have been discovered.
Now Su Xiaofan just wants to get these meteorites from the scientific research departments. He believes that the relevant departments have this ability.
"I accidentally discovered that I can absorb the energy in meteorites and practice."
Seeing several people staring at him, Su Xiaofan said: "Meteorites come from the starry sky. I call this energy starry sky energy. As long as I absorb this energy, I can quickly advance to a breakthrough!"
Repairing the system was something that could not be discussed until death. Su Xiaofan was really afraid of having his head cut open for research.
So Su Xiaofan just made up a random statement. He even made up such a lofty term as starry sky energy, so it should be somewhat credible.
"Star Energy?!"
Sure enough, when they heard this word, Jing Shizhen Lu'an and Aunt Mei had expressions of shock on their faces. Couldn't this be a way to draw energy from the stars?
So far, mankind's exploration of the starry sky has been limited to the moon, and it relies on technological civilization. For humans, the starry sky is simply too mysterious.
According to human research, there is energy in the stars, such as alpha rays, gamma rays, beta rays...
These rays exist in the form of radiated energy, and more abstract forces such as weak force, strong force, gravity, and magnetism are also recognized as forms of energy.
However, human beings have only been studying the stars and the universe for too short a time, and are not yet able to extract and use this energy.
The research on meteorites by research institutes in various countries is actually an exploration of the energy of the universe and stars.
"You used to look for meteorites just to practice?"
Jing Shizhen now understood why Su Xiaofan was so enthusiastic about meteorites and didn't forget to look for meteorites when he went to Devil's Valley. The reason was here.
"Yes!" Su Xiaofan nodded.
"How to practice with meteorites?"
Jing Shizhen and Lu'an's eyes lit up at the same time, and they thought of a possibility.
It makes no sense that Su Xiaofan can use meteorites to practice, but they can't. It's just that they didn't pay attention before.
"It's just to run the technique and absorb the energy in the meteorite."
Su Xiaofan said with a blank look on his face: "This is how I practice. The rarer the meteorite, the purer the starry energy inside it, and then the cultivation level will grow quickly."
In order to obtain rare meteorites, Su Xiaofan also began to work hard on his acting skills. If he acted well, he would drink and eat meat. If he acted poorly, he would have to find a restricted area to hide.
"Quick, Lu'an, I don't care what method you use, find a rare meteorite immediately, immediately!!"
Jing Shizhen almost shouted to Lu'an, and the blood in his body was boiling at this moment.
It took less than half a year for Su Xiaofan to break through from a novice practitioner to the realm of Three Flowers Gathering at the speed of a rocket. This shows how much the energy of the starry sky helps people in their cultivation.
"Master, it's not that I want to fool you, it's that you haven't repaired the system."
Seeing the enthusiastic look on his master's face, Su Xiaofan could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
Lu'an naturally knew the importance of this matter, so he took out his cell phone and made a call, regardless of arguing with Jing Shizhen.
Lu'an still has great power in relevant departments. In addition to special cultivation resources, he has the power to mobilize some ordinary materials.
In the eyes of relevant departments, meteorites are not considered cultivation resources at all. At best, they are scientific research items with some research value.
Unlike the procrastinating departments in today's society, the relevant departments are very efficient. After Lu'an put down the phone, the matter of the meteorite was already settled.
"In half an hour, three meteorites for research will be delivered!"
Lu'an is also full of expectations for the high starry sky energy.
