When Yan Yun's cloak rolled up, the waves of fire were like blooming flowers, and Qing Qi Yun Feng's double swords cut sword marks as thin as hair in the air.
"Peng——!"
The fire wave dissipated, and Rui Xi fell headfirst, rolling down into the jungle from mid-air, dragging out a tunnel like a falling meteorite.
The fire was raging, and the surrounding trees were burned.
Sudden!
boom--!
The roar and the shaking of the ground were almost indistinguishable.
After the loud noise, in the midst of the billowing smoke, three monsters as tall as the tree appeared in the form of a tiger, a mantis, and a bear. They blocked all retreats with the force of a triangle.
Rui Xi struggled to get up from the ground. Without saying a word, she pulled open her cloak. As the flame clouds circulated, a layer of flame light immediately appeared on the blade of Qing Ji Yun Feng's sword.
boom!
A fierce battle broke out again, with one against three, Rui Xi quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The three demons were particularly strange. They were silent and indifferent, as if they had no emotions. They fought each other with their physical bodies, their fists and claws carrying evil spirits, and the wind followed them. From time to time, human figures appeared, with skin colors like ghosts.
Their goal is extremely clear, which is to kill this female cultivator.
Rui Xi was surrounded by the three of them. The flames on Yanyun's cloak gradually dimmed a lot, and her mana was already somewhat exhausted.
However, even if she was in deep danger, she remained very calm and kept trying various methods to create opportunities for herself to break out of the encirclement.
This is a crisis response method that she has developed little by little through years of adventure as a casual cultivator.
Never give up resistance until the last moment.
"ha!"
She finally made a voice, cold and solemn, and the two swords of Qingji Yunfeng merged into a translucent sword light, tearing the cloud sky, leaving a hole in the body of the bear-shaped monster that penetrated from front to back.
"Roar!
! "
A shrill howl resounded through the jungle, and the bear-shaped monster fell to the ground. Suddenly, there was a change, and finally a naked man with his chest shot through appeared in the huge pit.
A gap appears.
A joyful look appeared on Rui Xi's face, and she forced herself to use her limited mana. The flames of Yanyun's cloak spread out, and with a swish, she shot from the gap into the sky.
The remaining two demons, the tiger and the mantis, chased for a while, but stopped after realizing that they could not catch up.
Then without saying a word, he turned back to the jungle, picked up the man in the pit, and took him away in the opposite direction.

"You mean, the three worshipers of Qijia Medicine Store are actually demon-transforming monks who fell into evil spirits?"
Chen Qingyan raised his head from behind the alchemy furnace.
In front of him, stood a female nun.
It was Rui Xi.
"Isn't it out of control?"
he asks.
Rui Xi shook her head.
Chen Qingyan rubbed his chin and thought, "According to what you said, he should be a demon-transforming monk who was controlled by others and used a secret method to erase his self-awareness."
Rui Xi nodded and said, "The Qi family has always kept a low profile, but as soon as I sneaked in, I was discovered immediately."
"Oh, Yaozhuang is protected by formations." Chen Qingyan understood.
Rui Xi added: "General formations will not be triggered under the cover of my cloak. The strange thing is that I haven't seen anyone from the Qi family."
Chen Qingyan thought for a while and made a decision, "The Qi family doesn't need to pay attention. This medicine store may be related to the Black Evil Forest Demon Sect. There is no need to wade into this muddy water."
"But..." Rui Xi finally looked a little anxious. The size of the medicine garden is related to the number of magical elixirs she can obtain in the future. This is her most cherished thing.
Chen Qingyan said calmly: "If you had summoned my incarnation at that time, Qijia Medicine Store might have been able to capture it, but there is no need for it now."
Rui Xi fell silent after hearing this.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it at the time, but she thought she could handle it, so she didn't implement it, thinking of using it in desperate situations.
"Have you become a monk?"
After silence, Rui Xi changed the topic.
"Well, you have worked hard these past few years." Chen Qingyan nodded with a smile. Thinking of something, he patted the cloth bag on his waist, took out a porcelain bottle and threw it over.
Rui Xi took hold of it, frowned and pulled out the cork.
The refreshing fragrance of the medicine filled the air, and after just one breath, Rui Xi felt comfortable all over, and the injuries she had suffered before also felt relieved.
"Elixir!
"
She exclaimed, looking at the smiling young man in disbelief.
"Lin Dong came here a few days ago and brought medicinal materials from the Lin family."
Rui Xi paused for a moment, counted the pill patterns on the pill, and murmured, "With the five pill patterns, are you ready to refine the elixir?"
Six months ago, she witnessed the other party refining a top-grade Haoyuan Pill with seven lines, but it was just an accident. After she was shocked, she tried to beg for it overtly and secretly, but failed.
But now, only half a year later, he actually got a magic pill.
Although it is only five pill patterns.
"lucky."
Chen Qingyan said calmly, without explaining too much or trying to cover up.
"You go down and recuperate. After you recover, I will go with you."
Rui Xi was startled and asked seriously: "Has it started?"
Chen Qingyan nodded, "It's not good to keep them scattered. Those stubborn monk families in ancient towns everywhere should be rectified."
...
After Rui Xi left.
The alchemy furnace in front of Chen Qingyan suddenly made a loud noise.
There was joy on his face and he waved.
There was a muffled sound in winter.
Immediately, a sparkling pill flew out of the pill furnace.
The elixir formed five rings, and it was once again a spiritual elixir.
Chen Qingyan is a third-level alchemy master. In the past few days, Chen Qingyan found that for every three furnaces he opened, one was a spiritual elixir.
However, the best ones at present are those with six lines, and the best elixir with seven lines has not yet been refined.
That top quality Haoyuan Pill last time was really good luck.
Even with Chen Qingyan's current alchemy attainments and the Xuantian Cauldron as a complement, he was unable to refine the seven-marked elixir. The reason for this was still due to a problem with the medicinal materials.
They are all spiritual medicinal materials grown and cultivated by themselves, harvested according to the year, and the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials are there. Even if Chen Qingyan is superb in alchemy and can take advantage of the opportunity of heaven and the power of earth, he cannot do things that go against the rules of nature.
If he changes to a batch of top-quality medicinal materials, Chen Qingyan is somewhat confident that he can refine the first-level elixir.
The worst, the worst, and the divine elixir with nine elixir patterns.
Speaking of magic pills, he had not taken the eight magic pills that he had snatched from the pill room of Xuantian Palace and were made from the essence and blood of ancient animals.
He wasn't going to take it either.
Although the magic elixir was good, it didn't mean much to him.
His background is already strong enough. He can choose some powerful magical powers, slowly practice them, and slowly comprehend them.
To him, the magical powers conferred by the magic elixir are nothing more than adding a few more magical powers to the "Secret Cage". They are icing on the cake and have little effect.
But if you use these magic pills to cultivate some outstanding subordinates like Xiao Yicai and Ji Gongdao, that will maximize your benefits.
If you really meet a one-of-a-kind genius like Fozi and Guan Shanyu, then what's the problem if you give him all the eight magic pills?
Chen Qingyan has a long-term vision.
He knew that his spiritual path had just begun. Working alone, he could go far, but it would be difficult and slow.
Guan Shanyu is a person with innate supernatural powers, just like the Buddha, but the strength between the two is vastly different.
It was because the Guanshan family could not give her good training materials, good exercises, or good guidance from famous teachers.
As a third-grade alchemist, Chen Qingyan had the conditions to cultivate his own - Yinlin.
