Duan Chen and Zhou Xuan's homes were hidden in a private house in the west of Tiandu Town, during which they had to pass through several ancient streets and town squares.

The two walked to the town square, and Duan Chen, as usual, couldn't help but look up at a statue in the center of the square, which was ten zhang high, and was the tallest building in the entire Tiandu Town.

Legend has it that the statue has survived since the town's founding, and although it is very old, it has been taken care of by the townspeople over the years, so that it is clean and clean from dust.

Duan Chen silently looked at the statue, and Zhou Xuan on the side also showed reverence.

In the entire Donghua Continent, this statue was known to everyone, and Duan Chen knew its origin because it was related to the last immortal in history.

She is Mu Qingxian, who was called the Ice Glass Sword by later generations.

In the era of the end of the law when the aura was depressed and the environment of heaven and earth changed greatly, the gradual disappearance of the spiritual veins made the path of human cultivation more and more difficult.

Although the cultivation of the two demon races is equally difficult, the two races are far above the human race in terms of physique and bloodline talent, so relatively speaking, the impact of the fading aura on the strength of the demon and demon races is much smaller than that of the human race.

This laid the foundation for the future "war of extermination".

The so-called war of exterminating the clan is that the two demon clans join forces to wipe out all the races in the Donghua Continent.

It was the darkest time in the history of the Terrans, and it is said that there were hundreds of millions of Terran monks who fell in this battle alone.

In the face of the attack of the demon and demon armies, the human race was defeated and retreated, and the army was defeated, and the disaster of extermination was just around the corner.

At the critical moment, the ice glass sword wood Qingxian, who was still trapped in the bottleneck of the Mahayana period at that time, finally broke through, crossed the catastrophe and became an immortal, and with his own strength, he fought against the alliance of the two demon clans, killed the enemy chieftain, and forced all the Mahayana monks of the demon and demon clans at that time to sign a three-clan covenant, promising not to invade the territory of the human race in their lifetime.

At this point, the war between the three clans finally came to an end, and the Ice Glass Sword Wood Qingxian was unable to stay in the Donghua Realm for a long time after becoming an immortal, and soon flew to the rumored Immortal Realm.

In order to commemorate the exploits of the Ice Glass Sword Wood Qingxian, later generations erected statues of gods in various towns and cities in the Donghua Continent, and at the same time did not forget to teach the younger generations to keep in mind the mission, and to remember who the human race could have today's situation.

Duan Chen's understanding of the battle of exterminating the clan also came from the statue in front of him.

Almost all the classics that mention that battle praise the exploits of the Ice Glass Sword Wood Qingxian. For example, the last ray of light at the time of the life and death of the human race, such as the last immortal in the era of the end of the law, and so on.

Since then, it has been rumored that after the Ice Glass Sword Wood Qingxian, there will be no more immortals in the world.

Duan Chen naturally didn't dare to hope for Cheng Xian, his short-term goal was to build a foundation, and further away was to tie the Dan.

For him, it is already a blessing to be able to achieve Jindan in this life, how dare he ask for more.

After admiring the statue of the Ice Glass Sword Wood Green Immortal, Duan Chen and Zhou Xuan returned home.

Duan Chen's home in Tiandu Town, located in a private house in the west of Tiandu Town, is a medicine hall, the medicine hall is not very big, but it is enough for him and Uncle Han to eat and live daily.

"I don't know if Uncle Han has come back. ”

Duan Chen pushed open the door of the medicine hall with a familiar car, gently closed it, and followed straight through the medicine hall to the backyard, and suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting on the old rattan chair in the courtyard, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him, shouting: "Uncle Han!"

Han Sheng was originally taking a nap with his eyes slightly closed, but when he heard Duan Chen's arrival, he waved his hand and said, "I just came back from the mountains, but I am a little tired, take a rest first, and I will talk about it later." ”

Duan Chen originally wanted to say something, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and looked at Han Sheng carefully, his face was full of tiredness, and his face was a little pale, he couldn't help but feel shocked, and said urgently: "Uncle Han, what's wrong with you?"

Han Sheng didn't say anything, and after waving his hand, he fell asleep.

Seeing this, Duan Chen secretly thought: "Uncle Han's cultivation is profound, and he doesn't see him look tired when he returns home from the mountains on weekdays, why does he come back like this time, like fighting with people for three hundred rounds." ”

He had a lot of doubts in his heart, but when he saw Han Sheng lying on the old rattan chair, as if he had fallen asleep, he didn't dare to disturb him, turned to the back kitchen, made a few light side dishes and brought them to the courtyard, sat down with Han Sheng, and waited for him to wake up at any time.

It wasn't until the third day that Duan Chen saw Han Sheng's eyelids waking up slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "Uncle Han, how do you feel?"

Han Sheng saw him sitting aside, and saw a few light side dishes and white rice porridge on the stone table next to him, so he knew that he hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "Chen'er, now is the time for you to grow your body, and you don't have to wait for Uncle Han to eat together in the future." ”

Duan Chen said: "I'm not hungry yet, it's okay to wait for Uncle Han." ”

At this moment, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach, which was very loud in this quiet courtyard, and Duan Chen was full of embarrassment.

Han Sheng saw that his face was full of shame, knowing that his stomach was empty at this time, and said with a slight smile: "Look at you, you are hungry, eat breakfast first and then talk." ”

Duan Chen nodded, hurriedly set up the dishes and chopsticks, and after Han Sheng sat down, he helped him serve a bowl of white rice porridge, and the uncle and nephew ate a few light side dishes, and they swept it away after a short time.

"The dishes and chopsticks are not busy cleaning up, Uncle Han asks you, how has your cultivation progress been recently?" Han Sheng asked under Duan Chen's action of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, as if he was very concerned about this.

Duan Chen said: "Chen'er's qualifications are dull, I'm afraid that I will have high hopes for Uncle Han." ”

Han Sheng groaned, "But you're still trapped in the seventh layer of Qi refining, is it difficult to advance an inch?"

Duan Chen's expression darkened: "Chen'er always feels that he can break through the seventh layer of qi refining at any time, but when his luck reaches the critical point of doing his daily exercises, he is always a little behind, so that he can't break through for a long time. ”

The two of them asked and answered this question, but they were inadvertently revealing the fact that Duan Chen had cultivated to the seventh layer of qi refining, and it was expected that if this matter was spread, it would definitely shake the entire Tiandu Town.

It must be known that Duan Chen has just turned fifteen this year, and most of the people of his age in the town have not yet stepped into the first level of qi refining, and Li Yuanhui, the son of the pavilion chief, has barely broken through to the first level of qi refining by eating various refined spiritual objects every day.

Outsiders only said that Duan Chen and Li Yuanhui were the same, and they only had the first level of Qi refining cultivation, but they didn't know that Duan Chen had already broken through to the seventh layer of Qi refining years ago.

Seeing Duan Chen's frustrated face, Han Sheng couldn't help but feel relieved: "You don't have to be arrogant, in this world, you can cultivate to the seventh layer of qi refining at the age of fifteen without eating any elixir, I'm afraid that only those disciples cultivated by sect dynasties can compare, right now you are trapped in the bottleneck of the seventh layer of qi refining and can't break through, it's just that you lack an opportunity to break through." ”

His voice paused slightly, and Han Sheng continued: "There is no hurry to break through the seventh layer of qi refining, Uncle Han has his own way. Let's go, go to the courtyard to practice the Xingyi marksmanship I taught you last time, and let Uncle Han see if you have grown during this time. ”

Duan Chen answered, took a wooden spear from the weapon rack on the side, and unleashed that set of Xingyi marksmanship in the courtyard.

"Brush!" Duan Chen, who was holding a spear in his hand, seemed to be a different person, his eyes were sharp, his eyes were terrifying, and he practiced one move at a time, the spear was like a dragon, or angry stabs, or whips, or force splits, all of which were powerful, implying an unrivaled meaning.

Han Sheng stood aside, watching him finish a set of Xingyi marksmanship without saying a word, and then nodded and said: "Your marksmanship and tricks are all handy, if you can experience it with your heart in the future, it will not be difficult to gradually enter the profound realm." ”

Duan Chen said: "Although Chen'er is familiar with the various changes in Xingyi marksmanship, he has never used it in actual combat, and he doesn't know what the effect is, so he also asks Uncle Han for advice." ”

Han Sheng looked up at the sky and said, "There is no professor about actual combat experience, you need to experience it yourself, it just so happens that tomorrow you will go into the mountains with the hunting team to practice, and then you will know how powerful the marksmanship I taught you is." ”

Duan Chen said: "When I mentioned this, Chen'er couldn't help but feel a little nervous in my heart, and I don't know if the wild and dangerous thing is the same as recorded in the ancient books. ”

The expression on Han Sheng's face slowly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen'er, you should keep in mind that the danger of this great wilderness is far more terrifying than what is recorded in ancient books. ”

Duan Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Uncle Han, you tell me truthfully, what enemies do we have outside......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Sheng: "You don't have to ask more about this matter, and I will never tell you, in short, you remember, it is not a last resort, and you must not expose your true cultivation." ”

Although Duan Chen had a thousand words in his heart, he didn't dare to say more, just because he had asked this question many times, Han Sheng was secretive about it, and kept his mouth shut, even if he asked it many times, Han Sheng would never let go.

Xu felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, Han Sheng coughed lightly, and then took out a blood-stained white cloth from his arms, and carefully spread it out, revealing a palm-sized red ginseng with slender roots.

I saw Han Sheng smile overjoyed: "This red blood ginseng is my biggest harvest from entering the mountain this time, whether you can break through from the seventh layer of qi refining to the eighth layer of qi refining this time, you can count on it." ”

After that, Han Sheng took the red blood ginseng into the back kitchen, and found a medicine tripod from nowhere, and set it up in the courtyard, and a raging fire was burning below, but after a while, the spring water in the mountain in the ding was boiling.

"Uncle Han, this red blood ginseng can't be eaten raw, does it have to be a medicinal bath?" Looking at the boiling mountain spring water in Dingzhong, Duan Chen's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of some bad memories.

"The red blood ginseng I found this time is one hundred and thirty years old, and it is full of medicinal power, and I am afraid that raw food is beyond your ability, but you Uncle Han and I don't know the art of alchemy, so I can only grieve you to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin at present. ”

Han Sheng said without raising his head, then tested the temperature of the water, and began to put packets of medicinal materials into the dingzhong, and from time to time he would pour some red viscous liquid, and only then did he put the palm-sized red blood ginseng into it and seal the dinglid.

More than half an hour later, when the firewood under the Ding was burned out, Han Sheng opened the lid of the Ding, and threw the reluctant Duan Chen into it without saying anything.

"Hold your breath and concentrate, follow the breathing method you practice on weekdays, and don't waste this potion liquid. Han Sheng shouted in a deep voice.

Duan Chen wanted to say something, but thinking of Han Sheng's tired appearance lying on the chair in the early morning, as well as the blood-stained white cloth wrapped in red blood ginseng, he suddenly remained silent, sat down honestly in the middle of the Ding, breathed in, and tried to absorb the essence of the Dingzhong medicinal liquid.

Han Sheng looked at it in his eyes, bowed his head slightly, and secretly thought that his years of hard work had finally been in vain.

However, it was said that Duan Chen was sitting in the medicine tripod, soaked in the medicinal liquid all over his body, and only one head came out, and the medicinal power of the red blood ginseng passed through the pores of his skin, turning into a stream of heat, rushing straight to the heart from the limbs and hundreds of bones, and slowly spreading to the five internal organs, so that the aura in his body continued to grow, and his cultivation was also rising.

However, Duan Chen had already entered a state of complete forgetfulness at this moment, and he didn't notice it until the sun set and the moon rose, and it was already the third watch in the sky, that he slowly woke up from his cultivation.

At this time, Han Sheng was already waiting on the side, and when he saw him open his eyes, he immediately asked with concern, "How do you feel?"

Duan Chen sensed his cultivation slightly, and immediately said with ecstasy on his face: "It's done, I have broken through to the eighth layer of qi refining, and my strength has also increased a lot." ”

Although there was no actual test, Duan Chen felt that his body was much stronger than in the past, and he seemed to have inexhaustible strength all over his body. 、

Han Sheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "This is nature, that red blood ginseng is not a mortal thing, the medicinal liquid that is refined with it as the main medicine, if it does not have such an effect, why do you Uncle Han and I have to work so hard......

At this point, he seemed to feel that he had leaked his mouth, and changed his words: "Go, hurry up and bathe and change clothes in the well water in the courtyard, and then get the wooden box I hid under the bed." ”

Duan Chen didn't doubt him, jumped out of the ding, washed his body, put on a dry clothes, and then ran into Han Sheng's room and took out the wooden box he had hidden under the bed.

Placing the wooden box on the stone table in the courtyard, Duan Chen said with a curious expression: "Uncle Han, what treasure is hidden in this wooden box, why have you never seen it taken out in the past?"

Han Sheng couldn't help but say, "I only brought this wooden box back yesterday, so naturally you haven't seen it before." ”

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, Duan Chen took the opportunity to look over, and saw a set of leather armor and a gun head in the wooden box, as well as two gun bodies, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Uncle Han, isn't your spear broken, why is it broken into three parts?"

Han Sheng shook his head and said: "You don't know this, this silver dragon gun is a very rare inferior magic weapon, it can be disassembled into three pieces to carry around when not in use, and it can also be quickly assembled to fight the enemy in wartime, if you are troublesome, you don't have to disassemble it, you can directly tie it to your back." ”

After that, Han Sheng taught Duan Chen how to assemble it by hand.

Not long after, a silver spear that was six feet long and weighed thirty catties appeared in front of Duan Chen's eyes.

"From today onwards, I, Duan Chen, also have my own magic weapon. Duan Chen held the silver dragon spear in his hand, wearing animal skin armor, and his face was overjoyed.

Later, under the guidance of Han Sheng, Duan Chen began to refine the silver dragon spear, and practiced the Xingyi marksmanship through the night, before he gradually mastered the use of this low-grade magic weapon.

"Chen'er, you need to keep in mind that this silver dragon spear is not driven by aura, it is no different from ordinary weapons, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the reality of the void, but if it is infused with aura, it is difficult to hide the aura fluctuations in it, and others perceive it and are afraid of coveting it, which must be guarded against. Han Sheng seemed to be a little uneasy and admonished.

Duan Chen nodded and said, "Chen'er understands." ”
