Immortal Formula

   Chapter 485 The first test of the edge, attacked

The battlefield of this trial was in the southernmost part of Dongyang County, a branch branch of the Tianji Mountains. When it crossed the upper reaches of the Weishui River, it was cut off by the middle, and then in the south of Dongyang County, a vertical and horizontal branch was left. of mountains.

This mountain range is connected to the Celestial Pole, and the monsters inside are connected with each other. Not only in Dongyang, but also in the entire Yunze, it is a famous place. The monks who travel between the southeast and the Central Plains will come here to hunt monsters. Dongyang County Although the power is great, the whole mountain cannot be drawn out, but a place called Lancang Valley, about several hundred kilometers in radius, is used as a test site. The monsters in the Tianji Mountains will also come and go here. It is the most dangerous place in the entire mountain range, and few people usually come here. Dongyang County has designated this place as a forbidden area, and it also means to prevent foreign monks from entering by mistake. It will only be opened once every thirty years.

Dongyang County will not send people to go with it. It is dangerous inside, so it doesn’t matter if you live or die, you are only responsible for counting points when you come out at the end. In the past, some cultivators of sects would be injured by monsters, and even those who perished. It's not that there is none, but in general, 95% of people are able to guarantee safety, which is also due to everyone's reluctance to spend too much strength before the big competition.

While listening to the governor's words, Gu Yan looked at several competing sects, such as Butterfly Valley, Qingdaizhuang, Canglangfeng and others. The people who came were also the elites of the sect, and their eyes did not hide their greed for Bixia Sect, and obviously they all had to share a piece of pork on them.

  Gu Yan just gave this an indifferent smile, she didn't like to argue with words, and it was only after a battle of real swords and real guns that she would know.

   After the county governor finished speaking, he invited everyone to board the cloud boat. This huge cloud boat, carrying more than 100 people, flew mighty southeast. This also means that the biggest event in the entire Yunze, the ratio of the major sects every 30 years, will also kick off. Gu Yan couldn't help but think of Qin Feng, who was far away in Yunyang City. What kind of position would he be in during this turbulent change?

The Yunzhou flew very fast, and within half an hour it was outside the Lancang Valley. The county governor lowered the Yunzhou and bowed to the crowd, saying, "This trial is also related to my future in Dongyang, Dongyang children, Those who are talented and young, all gather here, and wait for the return of the monarchs, and then join in the grand event!"

   After he said these high-sounding words, he asked the guards to open the ban, and everyone got off the cloud boat and entered in sequence. They all pushed Fairy Nan to take the first place, Fairy Nan did not refuse, and together with Yang Zhen, led the disciples into the halo of light. Then the Han family, the Tan family, etc. also entered in turn. Gu Yan walked in with the three daughters, but she was very calm. She had experienced so many hardships and dangers, and this attempt was not a big risk, but it was just for fun, and by the way, several disciples also learned a lot .

The Lancang Valley is huge, with a radius of hundreds of miles. More than a hundred people poured into it, and they couldn't even hear a sound. Therefore, so many times, there has never been a fight with each other. Everyone has their own sphere of influence. Zhu Ying once followed Bi Zhenzhen and participated in the last trial, and knew a little about it, and said to Gu Yan: "Uncle, the last time we came to Lancang Valley, we went to the due north, where there are many fifth-order tiers. The demon beasts are entrenched, and their temperament is still docile, why not go there?" Although Zhu Ying and Gu Yan are masters and apprentices, but they have no names, Bi Zhenzhen retired after the elders, and Gu Yan is equal to the same generation, if you talk about age Being a little older than Gu Yan, Zhu Ying called Gu Yan Shishu.

   Gu Yan smiled, "What's the point of that? If we just go back and go back, wouldn't we come here for nothing? Where is the more dangerous place here?"

Zhu Ying didn't expect Gu Yan to ask about the dangerous place, so she couldn't help being stunned. After thinking about it, she said, "If you want to talk about the dangerous place, it should be Pan Yunji, where there is a nine-winged cloud eagle, a natural wind-type monster. A few decades ago, I heard that an eagle king came from Tianji and was entrenched there, but I don't know if it is still there. It must have grown to the sixth or seventh order."

   Several people sucked in a breath of cold air, Lin Zitong said in a low voice, "Didn't we talk about hiding the light before, isn't this too showy..."

Gu Yan said with a smile: "How many monsters we killed and how many we took out, it's not up to us to decide, this time, I don't care too much, I just want you to have more knowledge, you are not afraid. ?"

The three girls are all aggressive. Although Lin Zitong is stable and Zhu Ying is more thoughtful, they are not afraid of things. Thinking that Gu Yan is watching over them, even if they lose the enemy, they can escape, so they said in unison. : "Naturally not afraid!" Gu Yan waved his hand, drove the Jinyun dish, and the four of them walked towards Panyunji.

The entire Lancang Valley is filled with clouds and mists, and the poisonous gas is threatening. From time to time, it will pass through a water pool. I don’t know how deep the water will be, but it is just a miasma. Coming and going, all have to fly, no one dares to walk directly on the ground. Even so, some puddles should be avoided, otherwise, if you go straight through it, you will be washed down by the sky-high miasma. Even if Gu Yan was driving a Jinyun dish and had his own protection, Mo Yan would still feel dizzy when he smelled those breaths, and he could hardly control himself.

Seeing her abnormal state, Gu Yan said in a low voice, "Hold your breath and use the fire spirit energy in your body to drive her away!" Mo Yan is a rare natural double spirit root of ice and fire, extremely pure, and has the same kind of abnormality as ice spirit root. With her spiritual roots and excellent aptitude, Gu Yan intentionally wanted her to practice the Law of Ice and Fire, but unfortunately she couldn't be asked to practice Wen Tianlu, but if she could one day succeed in establishing the foundation, then it is very likely that she would be able to practice in the main body. The fire spirit is cultivated within.

  Moyan listened to Gu Yan's words, sat down cross-legged on the Jinyun plate, silently used his spiritual energy, and the feeling of fainting gradually disappeared. Jin Yundie still flew forward without delay. Gu Yan intends to let them increase their knowledge and experience. If they encounter some not very powerful monsters on the road, they will let Lin Zitong and Zhuying deal with them. In a dense forest on the way, there was a saber-toothed tiger that had reached the peak of the fourth-order and was about to enter the fifth-order soon. Gu Yan asked the two girls to set a trap and besiege it, and then the two worked together to kill it in one fell swoop. On the spot, they took the demon pill and animal skin and bones, and both Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong cheered.

Walking slowly along the way, even Mo Yan was under the care of Gu Yan, beheading two first- and second-order monsters to practice his hands, and when he saw blood, he would not be afraid when he faced the enemy in the future, although It's really not worth mentioning, but Moyan was still very excited with the loot in her hand. She carefully took off the first-order monster that she hunted alone, the fur and the like, and the broken pieces inside. Bone, threaded into a string of beads, carefully placed in his magic bag, ready to keep as a souvenir, no one will give it.

Gu Yan looked at her with a smile, Jin Yundie had been flying slowly for half a day, and naturally encountered a lot of monsters on the way, most of them were hunted and killed by the two girls Zhu and Lin, Gu Yan just watched from the side, but Even so, the spoils are not too small. Zhu Ying has come here once, and he is quite experienced. Lin Zitong is prudent in his work, but he is quick and decisive when he takes action. The cooperation of the two is a perfect match. Several fourth-order monsters have died. In their hands, the booty is quite rich.

Gu Yan counted it, there are already three demon pills of fourth-order monsters, and there are countless other refining materials such as skins, skins, etc. In addition, after the two sects of Bixia Sect were combined, they also accepted the original Danxia Sect's inner pill talisman. The inheritance of talisman is indispensable, and the fur and bone blood of monsters are excellent materials for making talismans, and they have been put away by Gu Yan one by one. These spoils of war will be returned to their hands after passing the inspection and assessment of the county government, so they should not be ignored. Although Gu Yan had intentionally raised spirit beasts in the spirit garden, and used some spirit grass instead of making talismans, the fur and bone blood of these beasts were still indispensable. According to Gan Biwu's plan, after the Bixia Sect has established a firm foothold, they will begin to sell various grades of talismans and medicinal pills to the surrounding area on a large scale. When the accumulation is sufficient, the unknown spiritual veins in Danxia Mountain will be slowly mined, so that the foundation of a sect can be established.

   Therefore, Gu Yan asked Lin Zitong to carefully record every trophy, and then went back to follow the picture and asked for the ji, and after Bi Zhenzhen left the customs, he could start preparing for the talisman. As for Gu Yan, she will only make some high-level talismans, and ordinary talismans cannot be used by her. In the past year, she also took some time to study the inner alchemy talisman mentioned in the jade niche. She has a lot of understanding in her heart, but good materials are hard to find, and she has only done some low-level talisman training. Advanced Talismans, there is still no chance to try it out.

   After hunting down a Thunder Eagle again, Gu Yan saw that it was getting late, and asked, "How far is it from the place you said?"

Zhu Ying looked at the surrounding terrain and estimated and replied: "We have only walked about a hundred miles in half a day. If we want to go to Panyunji, at the current speed, it will take at least half a day. It’s not too late, it’s better to take a rest and make plans.”

Gu Yan nodded. According to Zhu Ying, the place in Panyunji is very dangerous. Recently, there are rumors that the Eagle King came from Tianji. It is estimated that no one will go there, and no one will compete with them. Take it slow. And along the way, Gu Yan also shot and killed a few fifth-order monsters. When it comes to the harvest, it won't fall behind when you take it out, and you can take it slow.

   "But..." Gu Yan said thoughtfully, "I didn't seem to see any traces of other sects along the way. Could it be that we didn't meet each other in this Lancang Valley?"

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, each sect has its own established sphere of influence, which will not be easily destroyed. Now is the time of the big competition, and no one will cause trouble for themselves, so each goes his own way. It’s not uncommon for them to go down the road without encountering them. Once the three days are over, the ban will be lifted, and everyone will go out. There’s no time to talk about old feelings here.”

   "Hmm..." Gu Yan nodded, feeling that she was overthinking. As Zhu Ying said, before the big competition, no one will make any mistakes in vain, so as to reduce their chances in the big competition period.

  The sky turned into the night in a blink of an eye, but the ground was full of swamps and bushes, and no one could live there. Gu Yan built a tent in the air with her power, and then let Moyan go in to rest. Several of them have been sleeping for a few days now, which is normal, so they meditate outside to adjust their breath.

Their position is above a low hill, which is large at the top and small at the bottom, like an upside-down boot, with a pointed round end sticking out, under which is a natural shade of light and light. The rain barrier, many monsters build their nests here, but most of them are relatively low-level monsters. Although they can sense the existence of monks, the powerful aura emanating from Gu Yan makes them dare not approach.

  Gu Yan sat there, with the Moonless Bow on her back shining brightly. On such a rare moonlit night, absorbing the power of the yin to nourish the Moonless Indus is something she must do every day. Lin Zitong sat on her left, her eyebrows lowered, and her face showed a holy brilliance, Gu Yan suddenly remembered something, and said, "Zitong, you are now in the middle stage of foundation building, and you should consider finding one of your own. Is the life magic weapon?"

  Lin Zitong used the pair of mandarin duck double twisted swords given by Gan Biwu before the foundation was built. It was naturally enough to fight against the monks who were practicing Qi, but now she did not call her cultivation. It's just that in the past few years, she has been busy cultivating, stabilizing her realm, and improving her cultivation. There are very few opportunities to do it with others, and this matter has not been mentioned on the agenda.

   "Ah..." Lin Zitong's eyelashes twitched gently, under the reflection of the moonlight like water, it looked very moving, the innocent girl of the past has finally matured.

Getting along with Gu Yan alone, she didn't have as many taboos as she did in the sect, stretched her waist, and said unrestrainedly: "How can it be so easy, Bixia Sect left Qiyun Mountain in a hurry, many The foundation passed down by the ancestors has been destroyed. Now it is not bad to have a magic weapon to use. The magic weapon that Junior Brother Wei is using now is the magic weapon you gave him! Although it is said that Fangshi in Dongyang County It is much larger, but now the sect is the only one, and the limited resources have to be used for development, and there is no way to buy magic weapons on a large scale."

She turned to her side, sat closer to Gu Yan, and said longingly, "But Master said that in the past two years, there will be large-scale refining of medicinal pills and talismans, and in a few years, they will be refined. It's better, we all have a chance at that time, and we don't have to rush it for a while."

  Gu Yan knew that Gan Biwu was referring to the fact that in the first half of the year, she began to plant pieces of spiritual roots in the spiritual garden on a large scale. They were all common medicinal materials that could be made quickly. Although it is said that a spiritual garden, those spiritual roots of heaven, earth, and extraordinary materials are indispensable, which symbolizes the upper limit that a sect can achieve, but the foundation is always those common and most widely used elixir spiritual roots.

In the next two years, these spiritual roots will gradually mature. In addition, during this time, Gan Biwu is also preparing materials such as demon core animal bones, which will be reserved for making talismans. When everything is ready, That is the day when Bixia Sect started to get on the right track, but before that, it is still necessary to overcome the difficulty of Dabi first, so that Bixia Sect can have a relatively stable development environment in the next 30 years.

"So..." Lin Zitong stretched out his arms, and said very relaxedly, "Master often tells us, bear with it, good days will come, Ayan, the spiritual garden you built is the one of the Bixia Sect. The most important event, so don't let us disturb you, only when the spiritual garden is really built, can the Bixia Sect take root here."

Gu Yan nodded. Although Gan Biwu has not made much progress in cultivation, he is a person with eyesight and means. It is more suitable to be the head of the family. Gu Yan herself has no way to do better than her. Not to have the patience to dwell on those minutiae.

"But..." She smiled and patted Lin Zitong's shoulder, "Speaking of which, Lingyuan has gradually been on the right track this year, and there are big cows helping me, so I don't have to do so many trivial things, I am participating in the competition. Before, I still had at least half a year of spare time. Anyway, you all have to go to Beijing together. There is no magic weapon to use, isn't it bad? I think after I go back this time, I will open the furnace and refine a batch of magic tools. At least you guys Everyone's hands, don't be so shy."

  Lin Zitong asked happily, "Everyone has a share?"

  Gu Yan nodded with a smile. She was accustomed to the art of refining tools from Lin Jiaxiu. She had been in Cangwu for several years, and she never had a chance to use it. When she was returning to Xuhai, she had accumulated a large amount of materials, but she had never used them. After she arrived at Cangwu, she collected some more. As these young disciples gradually grew up, it was time to leave something for Bixia Sect. .

Zhu Ying also heard the conversation between the two of them, and said excitedly: "Really?" When she was in the Danxia sect, her life was really bitter, and even Bi Zhenzhen herself only had one or two pieces. The magic weapon is close to her body, she does not know the art of refining tools, and she does not have too many things to trade with others. The spiritual talisman passed down by the ancestors, Bi Zhenzhen is not allowed to buy and sell casually, and her life is very difficult. The magic tool Zhu Ying used was just when the foundation was successfully established. Bi Zhenzhen found it for her from outside. After several battles, it was no longer suitable for use. Hearing Gu Yan's remarks, I feel that today's life is really much stronger than before, and the decision made by Master is really wise. Even if the inheritance of the original Danxia Sect is preserved, it also makes everyone's life better than before.

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but I'm just rude, and I don't know if it suits your needs. If you have any requirements, you can also put forward them in advance. As soon as her ears stood up, there was an incomparable coolness, which hit her from nowhere, and spread to the bottom of her heart in an instant, causing the cold hairs on Gu Yan's body to stand up, "What a heavy demon!"

The three of them all looked up. I don't know when, the huge silver plate in the sky had been half covered by a huge black shadow, and it was still being bullied quickly. The fishy smell was sent to everyone in the blink of an eye.

   Zhu Ying jumped up quickly, holding a pair of short blades on guard, and said vigilantly: "What a big monster, I have never heard of such a thing in Lancang Valley before!"

  Gu Yan frowned, she could see that this monster was still far away, and its movements were not very fast, but the monster energy had already spread here, which shows that its cultivation base must not be shallow! She asked in a low voice, "Is that the cloud eagle you mentioned before?"

  Zhu Ying shook his head, "The nine-winged cloud eagle is as fast as lightning, and it comes and goes like the wind. If it was the Eagle King, it would have flown here from Panyunji long ago if we had the skill to speak."

Before the two of them could finish their words, they heard another scream of "ah", followed by another one, two consecutive sounds, the interval in between was almost imperceptible. Splashed out in the distance.

Gu Yan shouted sharply, "Who is it?" She raised her left hand, and the precious light of Zhu Yanjing pierced the sky, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. The huge black shadow also began to recede, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The two people quickly fell from the air, Gu Yan stretched out her hand, and a burst of spiritual power popped out, turning the two of them in the direction, just fell on the hill where they stopped, and did not fall below. in the swamp. The hill is small at the top and the top is a flat ground, just enough for people to perch on. Gu Yan frowned and lowered the Jinyun Plate down, signaling Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong to save those two people first. .

The two women responded, and first they cautiously took out two miasma talismans to protect themselves. This time, Gan Biwu thought very carefully when he came to Lancang Valley. The applicable talismans and medicinal herbs were well prepared. , the Miasma Talisman can avoid the miasma here, so as to prevent poisonous gas from entering the body.

   Soon, the two women rescued the two people who fell from the air. They were all teenagers who didn't look like much, and Gu Yan also had an impression. It was the disciples who came with him this time. Gu Yan still remembered that one of them was next to Yang Zhen, and his cultivation was similar to him. It seemed that it should be him. the same door. The other one was wearing clothes with the logo of He Yingtan printed on it.

Crane Shadow Lake is on the east side of Danxia Mountain, and it is only a few hundred kilometers away from the current Bixia Sect. The two sects were very far apart. In the past few days, there were many disputes, but the Danyang faction was so powerful at that time that they could not move. Now that the Danyang faction is far away, they are eager to move again. Among the sects that are eyeing the Bixia Sect, He Yingtan is definitely one of them.

Before Gu Yan could understand what was going on, she saw a few figures rushing over in the distance. The one at the head was wearing a Taoist robe with a pattern of sky blue and water, and his face was sinking like water, like a hood. Like a thick layer of ice, he said in a deep voice, "Who is it that hurt my disciples?"
