Wang Yuan is Luo Chen's only friend who can support him.
Even after he refined the blood-burning elixir of the evil path, he immediately asked Wang Yuan to find someone to test the elixir.
If we look into the relationship between the two, it is nothing more than a bottle of Bigu Pill and a storage bag.
When Wang Yuan was in despair, Luo Chen gave him a bottle of Bigu Pill.
When Luo Chen was seriously injured and had a rich loot, Wang Yuan did not take it by force, and even gave Luo Chen another soul-breaking nail with great courage.
Which of the two is more important can be known at a glance.
But true friendship cannot be described in terms of value.
It was Luo Chen's plan to escape, but he must give an explanation to Wang Yuan.
Even if it's just a simple "goodbye"!
…
After finishing the alchemy on another day, Luo Chen held "Qing Yuan Dan Jie" in his hand and sat in front of the cliff, sipping tea and reading.
He had already made plans to quietly go to Jiao Hall tonight to say goodbye to Wang Yuan.
Then use the next half month to complete the refining of the Chalcedony Pill and accumulate the spiritual stones before leaving.
This way you won't draw attention to yourself.
When the time comes, you can leave as calmly as possible.
"The only pity is that I still have a lot to go before I can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. Otherwise, I would be able to protect myself even more."
In the realm column, the progress bar slowly advanced to [50/100].
It will take at least several months before he can completely purify his spiritual power and break through the ninth level of Qi refining.
It's a pity that Luo Chen can't wait that long.
He didn't know how long it would take for Mi Shuhua to recover from his injury.
These days are his best chance to escape.
Otherwise, if he really waits for the other party to recover from his injuries, his determination to capture him will be even greater.
Change will happen later!
Luo Chen sighed in his heart and waited quietly for the Alchemy monks to leave one by one.
Suddenly, Zhou Yuanli, who had been lurking in the dark, walked in.
"Master, something is wrong!"
Luo Chen's heart thumped. He had concealed himself well enough. Logically speaking, others wouldn't be able to see his intention to leave!
However, Zhou Yuanli's following words made him sigh in relief.
"Something's not right outside!"
The big stone that had just fallen to the ground came to mind again.
Luo Chen frowned and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"There is no news about the two brothers who were arranged to patrol outside."
"Um?"
Mi Shuhua arranged five bodyguards for Luo Chen.
On the surface, it is still Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang. These two masters of the eighth level of Qi refining can rival the ninth level of Qi refining when they join forces.
Privately, the three bodyguards each assumed the duties of the front and back posts.
There are usually two bodyguards patrolling outside at all times to ensure Luo Chen's safety when traveling.
Zhou Yuanli will also contact them regularly.
Now, suddenly there is no news.
what does that mean?
"No!" Luo Chen was horrified, "Hurry up and call Hall Master Murong and Deacon Gu back!"
Just now, right under his nose, the two women left together.
Less than two minutes have passed.
And to have two masters at the eighth level of Qi Refining disappear without a trace means that there is a danger outside that can threaten the ninth level of Qi Refining!
Zhou Yuanli was startled, his face uncertain.
He turned around and left, but as soon as he got outside, he blew a whistle.
Many mid- to late-stage Qi refining monks who usually guard Xieyue Valley suddenly appeared, more than twenty of them.
One of them has reached the ninth level of Qi refining.
Luo Chen recognized the other person, the only deacon in the medicine hall, named Yuan Yuejiao.
He is quite old, almost hundreds of years old. He is usually responsible for managing medicine fields, cultivating spiritual plants, and making the latest animal skin garments.
The spiritual husband Yuan Dongsheng, whom Luo Chen was familiar with, was her eldest son.
Normally, it would be her and Sikong Shoujia who would take turns staying at Xianyue Valley at night.
Everyone respects her and calls her Granny Yuan.
"Start the formation!"
A powerful voice came from Zhou Yuanli.
"Zhou Yuanli, what are you doing?" Luo Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
"Master, your safety is our top priority!"
Zhou Yuanli said neither humble nor overbearing, and at the same time waved his hand, Dongfang Liang came closer.
"Go outside to check the situation. If you meet Hall Master Murong and Deacon Gu, ask them to come back."
Dongfang Liang was a little nervous, nodded, and flew out carefully.
Looking back, Zhou Yuanli looked at Luo Chen and Yuan Yuejiao, and said cautiously: "Those two brothers have average fighting skills, but their concealment skills are extremely strong. Now that they have lost news, it is very likely that they are coming after the hall master."
"In all things, be careful!"
Luo Chen took a deep look at him, and then his eyes fell on Xianyue Valley.
A curtain of earthy yellow light was seen, slowly expanding, and then slowly covering Xianyue Valley like an inverted bowl.
Large-scale first-order formations are built on the basis of mountain terrain. They are often the first choice for small immortal cultivating families to protect their clans.
When the Alchemy Hall first settled in Xieyue Valley, in order to guard the two main hall entrances, the Poshan Gang set up this formation here. Luo Chen knew this very well.
Normally, the garrison formation is rarely activated because it consumes a lot of spiritual stones.
To activate it once, you need at least 100 spirit stones.
If you want to maintain it, you must continue to invest hundreds of spirit stones for every incense stick.
But this time, Zhou Yuanli started it without hesitation.
This shows how important Luo Chen is!
As the formation was activated, the scenery outside, already shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, became even more hazy.
Luo Chen's spiritual eyes kept scanning the outside world.
Suddenly, he raised his hand.
Zhou Yuanli was startled for a moment, then realized something and quickly flew to the edge of the formation.
Soon, figures appeared in front of him.
They are not enemies, they are all familiar people!
He breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the blood stains on many people, his face became even more ugly.
Especially Gu Caiyi, who was covered in blood and was supported by Murong Qinglian, he felt cold all over his body.
"Hall Master Murong, what happened outside?"
"There are enemies, many!"
Murong Qinglian looked anxious, and her palace dress was also stained with blood.
She just didn't know if it was her own or was contaminated by the unconscious Gu Caiyi next to her.
"What kind of enemy can hurt you and Deacon Gu?"
Murong Qinglian looked back, but there was no sign of the enemy.
She could only smile bitterly, "I don't know the specific situation, but there are at least four or more ninth-level qi-refining masters. There are countless people in the middle and late stages of qi-refining."
"Elder Sikong left the valley before us, but when we saw him, he was being chased by a ninth-level Qi Refining monk wearing iron claws. He was in an extremely embarrassed state."
"It was because of his warning that we escaped the sneak attack on Caiyi and me."
Zhou Yuanli's eyes widened, how could such an enemy appear for no reason.
Moreover, since they were so powerful, how could they let Murong Qinglian and the others escape.
Especially outside the formation, those monks from the Medicine Hall and Dan Hall are only at the early or middle stage of Qi refining.
"Let us in quickly!"
"Those people were so terrifying. They killed without blinking an eye. Chen Yuan died in front of us, with no bones left."
"Senior Zhou, can you activate the big formation? I'm injured. It hurts."
"Hurry up and start the formation!"
Cries rang out one after another, and at the back there was almost a sound of anger and resentment.
Zhou Yuanli's expression changed, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Let them in!"
A calm voice came to his ears, and Zhou Yuanli turned around immediately.
"Hall Master! No!"
"There might be spies among these people!"
Luo Chen looked solemn and said, "It's okay, I can make the decision in everything."
He waved his sleeves and came to the front of the formation.
Looking at the familiar faces outside, he said loudly: "Before entering the battle, show your Poshan Gang identity token."
"After entering the formation, you are not allowed to move around, accept questioning, and are not allowed to make any resistance."
"Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
The restlessness outside finally stopped.
One by one they shouted words like "long live the hall master, thank you hall master."
Luo Chen remained unmoved, just staring at the monks outside with a solemn gaze.
Zhou Yuanli sighed, Luo Chen had too little experience and was too kind.
If so many people were suddenly let in, if there were spies inside, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But here, Luo Chen has the highest status, and it is difficult for him to violate it.
Especially in full public view, if he refuses, he will not only anger Luo Chen, but also offend everyone.
Many of the monks outside are related to the people inside.
For example, Yuan Dongsheng, the spiritual husband, was chatting with Mr. Yuan, the deacon of the medicine hall, across the formation.
Alas, that’s all!
Please pay more attention to yourself later!
Zhou Yuanli had no choice but to have someone open the formation, revealing a gap for one person to enter.
The first ones to come in were naturally Murong Qinglian and Gu Caiyi.
Luo Chen glanced at it and nodded slightly.
"Deacon Yuan Yuejiao, please heal their injuries."
"I don't have to. I responded in time and was not injured."
Murong Qinglian sighed and handed Gu Caiyi to the old female cultivator.
Then, she stood next to Luo Chen.
Next, low-level monks from the Medicine Hall and the Alchemy Hall entered the formation.
At the request of Zhou Yuanli and others, each of them showed their Poshan Gang identity tokens and accepted cross-examination.
Suddenly, Luo Chen looked at a monk who had just been interrogated and frowned.
"Catch him and question him carefully!"
The man was stunned, then his expression changed drastically, and he was about to run away.
The others couldn't react in time, but Luo Chen had already taken action.
A flick of the finger!
puff!
The man was kneeling on his knees, with two small holes in his knees bleeding profusely.
Murong Qinglian was startled, "This is Zheng Baotai from the medicine hall, he shouldn't be..."
"He is not Zheng Baotai!"
Luo Chen stretched out his hand and fired a burst of spiritual power. A black energy suddenly appeared on the man's face, and an unfamiliar face suddenly appeared.
camouflage! Disguise!
When Zhou Yuanli was surprised, his hand movements were not slow at all, and he immediately caught the man.
"Not just him, but this one."
Luo Chen looked at a monk huddled behind the crowd and flicked his finger again.
The man seemed to have expected it and sacrificed the magic weapon on the spot.
boom!
blocked!
Just as he felt happy, he saw two stone beads coming from the left and right, hitting his knees directly.
puff! puff!
Kneel down!
"Arrest them all! Question them carefully to see which force they come from."
"In addition, all the other monks who came in have also planted restraint methods, including Yuan Dongsheng."
Luo Chen ordered lightly, and while speaking, his eyes fell on Yuan Yuejiao not far away.
The old woman pursed her lips and nodded slightly to him.
Zhou Yuanli took a deep breath and immediately followed the instructions.
I was just curious, how did Luo Chen identify ourselves and the enemy?
Moreover, Luo Chen didn't seem to be as immature as he thought, and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Luo Chen would not explain to him that with the blessing of double spiritual eyesight, this simple spiritual disguise method was really easy to identify.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the monks in the Medicine Hall and Dan Hall were bribed by the enemy.
Therefore, he asked people to impose restrictions after questioning.
After dealing with these two people, Luo Chen's eyes fell on the dozens of people remaining outside.
Following his stern gaze, the crowd of dozens of people suddenly became commotion.
Almost instantly, seven people fled in several directions.
Luo Chen sneered, a few people in the middle stage of Qi refining actually wanted to leave after they arrived!
The garrison formation is open to the outside world but not to the inside.
Without hesitation, he flicked his fingers together!
In an instant, dozens of waste chalcedony beads shot out.
Nowadays, Tiannu Sanhua has only reached the second stage of proficiency, but with regard to the hidden weapon technique of Hunyuanzhu, he is definitely considered a master, and can be said to have reached the pinnacle.
Under the control of his pure spiritual power at the eighth level of Qi refining, the power erupted from these dozens of waste chalcedony beads was in no way inferior to a single strike from a low-grade magic weapon.
In the blink of an eye, there was a loud popping sound.
In mid-air, beautiful blood flowers bloomed.
The only monk who relied on a medium-grade robe to block the attack was also surrounded by twenty waste chalcedony beads and was exploded into pieces all over the sky.
Faced with this scene of wanton massacre, the Shuangtang monks remained silent.
The master of the Alchemy Hall, who has always been easygoing and free-spirited and kind to everyone, actually has such thunderous methods.
Killing a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining is like slaughtering a chicken and a dog.
But as the remaining monks came in, the cheers started again.
"The hall master is mighty!"
"The hall master is so powerful!"
"No wonder he can be in charge of one of the nine halls. I didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary hall master could be so powerful!"
The more dangerous the situation, the more trustworthy the strong are.
Luo Chen smiled slightly, appeased everyone, and then asked people to take the two prisoners into the alchemy hall.
…
"Recruited?"
"Not yet." Dongfang Liang scratched his head, "I'm not very proficient in the Divine Death Needle I learned from Elder Sikong. It would be great if he were here."
"Forget it, I'll do it myself!"
Luo Chen stood up and took a silver needle from Dongfang Liang's hand.
He doesn't know how to use the magic needle to kill people, but he knows how to destroy evil spirits!
This set of will-training techniques requires stimulating thirty-six acupuncture points, causing severe pain.
It took Luo Chendu several months to barely get started.
He hasn't seen any concrete results yet.
But now, it is perfect to use it to torture low-level monks.
When he came to the first monk he captured, the man's face was pale, but his eyes showed disdain.
Luo Chen shook his head and did not shake his will with words.
Just stick it with one needle!
He did not choose those acupuncture points that gradually caused pain, but went straight to Quchi acupoint!
"ah!!!"
With just one injection, the monk's pupils widened and he let out a heart-rending roar.
Dongfang Liang, who was standing next to her, trembled all over. It was just stimulating an acupuncture point. Is it necessary to have such a big reaction?
Of course he didn't know that Luo Chen's methods didn't stop there.
Secretly, Luo Chen used the silver needle to penetrate a ray of spiritual power.
Now, being attacked from both inside and outside, the Qi Refining monks are still in the human category, so how can they withstand this sudden pain.
Whoosh!
Taking out the silver needle, Luo Chen looked at the other party quietly.
After two breaths, he shook his head.
"It seems that you still don't want to say it."
laugh!
In that frightened look, he stabbed him with another needle.
"ah!!!"
Taking out the silver needle, Luo Chen looked at the other party quietly.
Shake his head.
"He is a tough-minded and good man. What a pity."
In his fearful eyes, Luo Chen reached out and took out two silver needles.
His hands shot down like lightning.
"Hey, why didn't you scream?"
Only then did Luo Chen realize that the other party had collapsed on the ground, with a faint urinary odor emerging from his crotch.
"It's already like this, why don't you tell me?"
"I'm really curious about what kind of experience it was that gave you such a strong will."
Luo Chen sighed and reached for the third silver needle.
Just as he held the silver needle high, the monk on the ground had dull eyes and murmured on his lips:
"You ask...you ask me..."
