Coming out of Nangu's birthday banquet, Liu Qinghuan walked back contemplatively all the way.

After the ghost toad knew that he was also going to the Tatego Spirit Garden, even if he made an invitation, the reason he said was extremely reasonable.

The Void Mountain is a place of pure yin and no yang, the mountain is killing every step of the way, and the people outside the mountain are unpredictable, if they don't hold a group like this, most of them will end up dying in the end. He also said that he would find a few more reliable people to work with, which was better than fighting alone.

However, Liu Qinghuan only gave an answer to see it later, after all, there are still a few years before the opening of the Lingyuan Garden, so there is no need to make a decision so early.

Back at his residence, he went directly into the Songxi Cave Heavenly Map to see the refining of the Tainan Immortal Sword.

After years of burning by the Qinglian Karma Fire, most of the thick black of the Tainan Immortal Sword has faded, and now only a faint layer of blood is stubbornly stuck to the silver-white sword.

At this moment, he saw that the dancing cyan flame suddenly and quickly retracted, turned into a flame the size of a bean, and rushed in front of him.

Liu Qinghuan took it easy, and copied the flame in his hand, startled: "Why is it so small!"

Qinglian Yehuo followed his fingers and went back to his dantian, refusing to come out no matter how much he coaxed him.

He took the Tainan Immortal Sword into his hand: "What the hell have you contaminated, you have consumed so much of the Qinglian Karma Fire." ”

Tainan Immortal Sword pretended to be dead and let him hold it without any reaction.

Liu Qinghuan was helpless, but fortunately, most of the filth was gone, and it should not hinder its use.

Thinking that in order to get this fairy sword, he had made an oath to help it avenge, but because of this, he delayed this world and couldn't return to Yun Mengze, but he only sighed.

Put away the sword and walked out of the house, and saw Xiaobai walking into the courtyard with a medicine basket.

Xiaobai is the puppet, Liu Qinghuan was too lazy to think of the name, so he directly continued to use Xiaohei.

Seeing him, Xiaobai bowed on his knees and waited there, as if waiting for an order.

Liu Qinghuan looked at the medicine basket in his hand, which turned out to be a large handful of bright wildflowers, and said casually: "What is this picking for?"

"Decorate the house, of course. ”

Sakura Niang walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a small medicine hoe in her hand, and glanced at him with a smile: "Everyone is like you, the place where you live is like an ice cellar, except for tables, chairs and benches, you don't even have a vase!"

Behind her, there was a bouncing pulse, baring her teeth at him.

Liu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Ying Niang, how are you feeling now?"

Looking at her carefully, I saw that her body was much more condensed than before, and there was no longer that translucent feeling that seemed to be dispersed with the wind.

Back then, after he photographed the Soul Melting Divine Wood, and used the breath of Aoki to give birth to more than a thousand years of medicinal age, Sakura Niang couldn't wait to come out of the soul nourishing immortal coffin, closed the door and tinkered, I don't know what to do with that elixir, and when I came out again, my body was so solid that if I didn't look carefully, it seemed that I really had a physical body.

Although the soul immortal coffin can keep the soul and body alive, it is tantamount to drinking a dove to quench your thirst, because the longer you stay inside, the more you can't do without the immortal stone, so Liu Qinghuan has been worried about whether the cherry blossom girl who has been in it for more than a hundred years will have sequelae.

Sakura Niang stretched out her hand and beckoned, and a jade bottle flew out of the window of the room on the side, picking and picking among the wildflowers she picked, and said casually: "It's not good, anyway, it won't be scattered for a while." ”

She raised her eyes slightly, and when she saw that Liu Qinghuan was still standing, she raised her delicate and small chin: "Sit, I have something to tell you." ”

"Huh?" Liu Qinghuan was puzzled and sat down on the stone bench opposite her: "What's the matter?"

Sakura Niang inserted the wildflowers she had picked into the jade vase one by one, but there was a hint of contemplation on her face, as if she was thinking about what she wanted to say.

Liu Qinghuan was even more curious, and she didn't rush, just watched her fiddle with the vase.

Sakura Niang finally spoke, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, I owe you a few thanks, one is that you brought me out of the dark treasure pool, and the other is that you have not forced me to do anything all these years, and finally found me the Soul Melting Divine Wood for me. ”

Liu Qinghuan waved his hand and said sincerely: "You have also helped me a lot, so there is no need to say thank you." Although you and I haven't signed any contracts, after so many years of getting along, I have long treated you as a ......"

After a pause, I couldn't find the right word for a while. It seems that the friend is not at that level, and it is even more impossible to say that the master and servant are even more powerful than him—at least they were higher than him before, but it is more like the relationship between the tenant and the master.

He couldn't help but wonder what the other party was going to say, wouldn't he be healed and leave?

Sakura Niang rolled her eyes, put the vase aside, and patted the dirt on her hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this." I know you've always wondered where I came from, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”

Liu Qinghuan's eyes lit up and looked at her.

Sakura Niang narrowed her slender and bewitching eyes, bringing out a hint of gloom: "Back then, I was accidentally caught by a powerful old guy, and the other party originally wanted to extract my soul and refine it into a tool spirit, but halfway through the refining, I broke free from the formation and escaped, and I was very lucky to survive in the subsequent spell backlash." But because of this, I was stuck in the middle and became a semi-spirit, neither can I regain my body through means such as snatching away, nor can I integrate into the magic weapon like ordinary machine spirits, and the injuries left in the past have also made my soul collapse day by day. ”

Liu Qinghuan felt incredible, it was unbelievable that she could survive after the ritual of refining the instrument spirit was interrupted!

"And what about you now?"

"Now the injury can only be considered to be temporarily stabilized. Sakura Niang sighed: "But I'm not a pure soul body, the Soul Melting Divine Wood can only stabilize the injuries on the soul, but it can't stop the collapse of my half-spirit body." ”

Liu Qinghuan was surprised: "There is another way." ”

"No, it's almost time. Sakura sighed: "I have tried countless methods, but in the end, I have become riddled with murder and collapsed faster...... What I want to tell you is that I have also figured it out after so many years, and it is better to be a machine spirit than it is now, and now I can withstand another refining ceremony, so I agree to be your machine spirit. ”

Liu Qinghuan opened his mouth wide and froze for a moment.

Sakura Niang pricked up her eyes and said angrily: "What, don't you want to do it!"

"No, no, no, of course I do!" but ......" Liu Qinghuan hesitated: "I don't have a magic weapon suitable for you for the time being." ”

Dinghai Zhu is an innate spirit treasure, and there is no need for a tool spirit, the Tainan Immortal Sword itself already has a tool spirit, and the life and death sword intent and the Jiuqu Red Dust Spectrum seem to be inconsistent with the attributes of the five-tailed fire fox.

Sakura Niang hated iron and said loudly: "Your alchemy furnace ding!"

"Ahh

Liu Qinghuan suddenly shouted, and as soon as he changed his hand, the Three Burning Jade Pill Furnace appeared in his hand.

The Three Burning Jade Pill Furnace used to be the things of Dayan Taizun, and then it was given to him, and he had been using this furnace for many years to refine the pill, but he forgot that this was the first spiritual treasure that he had for the longest time.

Sakura Niang picked up the stove, her eyes flashed with unwillingness, and her expression was quite complicated.

"You ......" Liu Qinghuan said: "If you don't want to, you don't have to ......"

Sakura said hatefully: "No, unless I want to die!"

"However, although the Three Burning Jade Pill Furnace is a spiritual treasure, in the final analysis, it is still a smoky and burning Dan Furnace, will you be too ...... to be a machine spirit Otherwise, we can wait, and maybe things will turn around. ”

He didn't say anything, he really couldn't imagine that a charming five-tailed fire fox turned into an alchemy furnace spirit, and he would always destroy the heavens.

Sakura Niang shook her head, her expression became calm, and said, "No need, the half-spirit body is an extremely unstable state of immortality and immortality, and I don't have time to wait for that unwarranted turnaround." Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a machine spirit, although I'll be bound, but I don't care about whether I'm bound or not, as long as I don't die, and maybe I can get the nourishment of medicinal qi from time to time. Don't underestimate this Dan furnace, you haven't used the third burner yet, have you?"

The three incinerations of the jade pill furnace can stimulate a total of three incinerations, and each incineration is of great help to the success of the elixir, but to this day, Liu Qinghuan has only inspired the first two incinerations, and the third incineration has never been seen.

Sakura Niang smiled confidently: "With my help, you won't be able to refine any Dan when you want to! But we said that when you don't refine Dan, I have to stay outside." ”

Seeing that she was desperate, Liu Qinghuan no longer persuaded her. However, he didn't have a magic circle for refining the spirit in his hand, and he had to buy it now. Fortunately, this technique is not too remote, and after walking through a few big shops, I found a suitable one, and bought a lot of ordinary spiritual materials to be used in alchemy.

He had already prepared to leave the secluded capital in a few days, all the way to the distant Void Mountain. There were still several years before the Lingyuan Garden, and there was still plenty of time, so he could make a detour to some places on the way to see if he could find the elixir needed by the Qingling Jade Qiongdan.

However, this possibility seems small. Because most of the elixirs listed on the Gu Dan Fang would only grow in places where the aura was clear, and in a place like the Netherworld, I am afraid it would be very difficult to find. This is also one of the reasons why he wants to go to the Tatego Spirit Garden, since the legend is that it is a fairy garden, the environment inside should not be a place like a ghost domain.

......

Three years later.

Outside the Void Mountain, there is a barren town, which is almost uninhabited on weekdays, but recently it has become more and more lively, and there is an endless stream of monks who have arrived, and each of them is a high-level monk above Jindan.

Tall houses were built, courtyards shining with the light of the magic circle were completed, and it didn't take long for several long streets to form, and shops belonging to various forces opened extremely quickly to welcome customers, each of which was decorated with magnificence.

Outside the town, there is a vast sea of sand, the wind blows, the sand dances wildly, and the sky and the earth are dark.

On this day, a long figure in green clothes appeared in the extreme distance, and from a distance it looked as big as a grain of sand in the sea of sand, and it didn't take long for it to turn into a black spot, and soon it was already possible to see the blurred face, and the speed was extremely fast.

I saw that every time he took a step, he was more than a hundred miles away in the next moment, and in just a few steps, he had reached ten miles outside the town.

Liu Qinghuan collected the earth shrinking technique, brushed away the dust, looked up at the dark distance, and could faintly see a mountain shadow.

Slowly walking into the town, at the same time, multiple divine senses swept over him extremely vaguely. There were probably too many high-ranking monks, and the town did not seem noisy, but there was an oppressive atmosphere with an undercurrent.

Liu Qinghuan walked quietly for half a street, and finally saw a shop with a plaque of "Shuwen Building", and walked in with his feet raised.

Ignoring the shopkeeper who greeted him, he went up the stairs to the second floor on one side, and saw more than a dozen tables in the soft carpeted building, and many people were talking in low voices.

Liu Qinghuan looked left and right, and saw a person standing up by the window, beckoning, "Aoki Daoyou, here." ”

He walked over and arched his hand: "Ghost Toad Daoyou, how long have you been here?"

The ghost toad smiled: "Not long after, I only came here today." By the way, I would like to introduce you to two Taoist friends. ”

He compared to a man and a woman on the other side of the table: "This is Brother Wu of King Wu, and the other is Mei Yan Daoyou"

Liu Qinghuan looked over, the two men were in the middle of the Yuan Infant, they were born with a loyal appearance, but there was a layer of black gas between their eyebrows, they should be a demon cultivator, and the enchanting female cultivator next to him was in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, the two behaved intimately, and the relationship was obviously extraordinary.

The two sides looked at each other secretly, and after saluting each other, they both sat down.

The ghost toad easily shot out a light mask and said with a smile: "I thought you weren't coming, and I was worried that I couldn't find someone with the same temperament to go into the mountain together." ”

Liu Qinghuan also smiled and said: "Daoist friends invite, why not!" After a pause, he said, "So this time it's the four of us?"

Ghost Toad said: "Originally, there was another Taoist friend, but I don't know if he can come in time, it won't be long before the opening of the Ligor Spirit Garden, and it will take a lot of time to pass through the Void Mountain, so it's best for us to enter the mountain in a few days." ”

"Has anyone already gone in?"

"Well, I've already asked Brother Wu before, and they arrived earlier than us, and indeed quite a few people have already entered. ”

Wu Wangzhi said: "It is said that the situation in the Void Danger Mountain has not been very good recently, and a few days ago, many people turned back again, saying that the remnants of the prohibition inside began to collapse on a large scale, and we should be careful this time." ”

Liu Qinghuan looked at a small picture placed in the pantry, on which there were several zigzag lines, all the way to the place marked with the words "Tatego Spiritual Garden" in the depths.

"You're studying the route into the mountain?"

The ghost toad stretched out his hand and pointed at one of them: "Yes, some of these places are too powerful, you can only take a detour, you see here......"

After that, the four of them began to discuss the matter of entering the mountain, and after Liu Qinghuan observed carefully, he found that the ghost toad and the other two had a very good relationship, and he couldn't help but groan secretly, a little more vigilant.

They didn't wait for the last man, and left the town three days later and stepped into the confines of the Void Mountain.

Passing through a desolate plain like a mass grave, one after another low hills spread out to the horizon, and a trace of black mist wafted across the mountain, which was a manifestation of the condensation and formation of the Yin Qi after it was extremely strong. There are no birds flying under the dark sky, and in the shadows, there are ghosts hiding in the shadows and peeping out, ready to move.

The ghost toad whispered: "There is a ban in the sky here, don't fly too high, otherwise there will be thunder falling." ”

He took the lead, in the middle was Wu Wangzhi and the female cultivator who had been snuggling up to him, Liu Qinghuan was the last, and the group walked through the mountains in a row, killing the ghosts who rushed to death one by one.

Soon, the first obstacle was in front of them, and all four stopped.

I saw a large lake in front of me, and the water of the lake was so green and black that I couldn't see anything in it at all.
