In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

After some discussion, Lu Yuan and the others planned to first inquire about the changes in Tiannan over the past hundred years, and then go into seclusion to practice hard.

Because the three of them have reached the peak of the late stage of elixir formation, it is time to prepare for the condensation of Nascent Soul.

Zi Ling said that he had only formed the elixir not long ago and his realm was not yet very stable. He planned to find a cave and practice for a while first.

As for Mei Ning, she is only in the middle stage of foundation building. Based on her qualifications, the hope of forming a pill is very slim, unless she can find some heaven-defying panacea.

Lu Yuan directly took care of this, Sheng Cheng had himself here, forming the pill was just a small goal, and it would not be difficult to help her condense the Nascent Soul in the future.

Lu Yuan's words naturally made several people laugh. It's like Han Li has prepared the Nine-Tune Spiritual Ginseng, as well as heaven-defying treasures such as the Heaven Palm Bottle. Whether he can successfully condense the Nascent Soul is less than a 50% chance.

So far, Zhang Tie also has no idea about condensing Nascent Soul.

Only Lu Yuan has reached the eighth level of the Golden Body now. As long as he breaks through to the ninth level, the Nascent Soul will naturally come naturally.

Of course, this is easy to say, but every three turns of Tuotian Demonic Skill becomes a bottleneck. On the third turn, Lu Yuan was trapped for more than thirty years, and finally he succeeded in breaking through by draining the spiritual eye pool in the inner hall of Xutian Palace.

Similarly, in the sixth turn, Han Li was asked to take a Heaven-Building Pill from the Xutian Cauldron to achieve a breakthrough.

Now that he is in the ninth rank, Lu Yuan still needs to make some preparations and use external forces to break through the bottleneck of the ninth rank.

"I'm not kidding, I have a dual cultivation technique. After I help you form the elixir, you can switch to this technique and share the benefits of my heavenly spiritual root constitution through the dual cultivation technique!" Lu Yuan blushed and his heart skipped a beat. Mei Ning said.

When Mei Ning heard Lu Yuan's explicit words, she said "ah", her face flushed, and she looked gorgeous and attractive. But then she lowered her head and fell silent, seemingly not objecting.

After all, Lu Yuan's cultivation level was so high that he had reached the late stage of pill formation and was about to prepare to condense the Nascent Soul. After this short period of getting along, the two of them had already developed a secret affection for each other.

There was only a layer of window paper between the two parties, and now that Lu Yuan had pierced it, what else could she say?

After all, a female cultivator who is as beautiful as her and has a certain level of cultivation will have to rely on a powerful male cultivator sooner or later. Otherwise, it will become difficult to move forward in the world of immortality. If she is not careful, she may be kidnapped and suffer all kinds of torture. .

......

Liangzhou, the fourth largest state among the seven states of Xi State, is located in the remote eastern part of Xi State. Among them, the largest mountain range in Xi Country, Fengliang Mountain Range, is located here.

One day, outside the Fengliang Mountains, Lu Yuan, Zhang Tie and Mei Ning stood on a mountainside. While thinking about the information about Fengliang Mountain, he looked at everything nearby.

The terrain of Fengliang Mountains is dominated by high mountains and ridges, with sparsely populated areas. As for the more remote mountains and ridges, they are a world of poisonous snakes and beasts, and ordinary people dare not go deep into them.

It stands to reason that this should be a place where monks like to gather. However, on the contrary, the spiritual energy here is thin, with only a few medium-sized spiritual veins.

The big local sects looked down upon it, and the small sect couldn't hold it, so it was occupied by several Immortal Cultivating Families that ranked high in Xi Country.

More than half of the monk sects in Xi Kingdom are concentrated in Nanzhou. Some powerful monk sects even monopolized several places with the most abundant spiritual energy.

In Tiannan, let alone a place with weak spiritual energy, as long as there are spiritual veins, every one is occupied by sects and monk families.

Even if there is a place with poor spiritual energy that has slipped through the net, it has been occupied by casual cultivators. There is no so-called remaining place at all.

After Lu Yuan thought about it for a moment, he eliminated the "big sect of cultivating immortals" from his choices. The big sects can occupy the best spiritual veins, but he and Zhang Tie don't have the awareness to solidify the foundation of Taoism, meditate and practice hard, and take one step at a time.

Once the two of them unleash their full firepower on the spiritual veins, the Yuanying Ancestors of those sects will immediately notice.

The situation is different for the Immortal Cultivating Families. Even those larger Immortal Cultivating Families have the highest level of cultivation and are only Dan-Jie cultivators. If they set up formations in advance, they don't have to worry about being discovered.

Of course, over time, flaws will definitely come out, but as long as you don't take advantage of one family, there's not much risk at all.

In this way, Lu Yuan naturally focused on the Fengliang Mountains with the idea of ​​​​finding a place with similar spiritual energy.

After Han Li broke up, he rushed to Yunmeng Mountain in Nanzhou alone. Because deep in the mountains, there is a legendary spiritual eye tree, which is also the last of the three sacred trees in the world of immortality. Every two hundred years, this spiritual eye tree will flow out a spiritual liquid called "alcohol liquid" from its roots.

Although this liquid cannot be taken directly, it is an excellent raw material for refining several elixirs. The rumored holy medicine "Ding Ling Dan" must use this spiritual fluid as a medicine.

"Ling Ling Dan" is also called the Soul Requiem Pill, which can calm the mind and calm the soul, and reduce the invasion of the monk's inner demons. It is an excellent magical medicine for monks to fight against illusions and inner demon harassment when they condense the Nascent Soul.

"Fengliang Mountain is mainly dominated by five families, including the Xun family, the Yan family, the Mu family, and the Sheng family. There are alchemy cultivators in these five families. Among them, the Xun family, which is the number one cultivating family in the Xi Kingdom, is said to have another Ancestor of the late stage of Mingjie Dan. They formed an alliance of five major families, and brought a dozen smaller families to advance and retreat together, occupying the entire Fengliang Mountains." Zhang Tie played with a jade slip, which contained the information they collected. Fengliang Mountain Information.

"The Mu family..." Lu Yuan muttered, could it be Mu Peiling's family?

"What, is there something wrong with the Mu family?" Mei Ning asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, I'm just interested in this so-called alliance of five major families." Lu Yuan chuckled.

"This alliance of five major families is not simple. With their strength, even if some middle-level sects in the Xi Kingdom have ideas about Fengliang Mountain, they can't do anything about it. And more than two hundred years ago, there were actually six major families here. It is said that Du among them The Du family colluded with other sects in an attempt to monopolize the Fengliang Mountains. As a result, the matter was exposed, causing other sects to join forces and annihilate the entire Du family." Zhang Tie continued to add.

"It doesn't matter, let's secretly dig holes and sneak into the depths of their spiritual veins. Even if they are discovered by then, it's just a few pill-forming monks who can be destroyed with just one hand." Lu Yuan said nonchalantly, and then opened the spiritual weapon on his waist. The beast bag released the iron rhinoceros beast.

The iron rhinoceros beast has already reached the seventh level of strength, but it did not show its full body and turned into the size of a small calf. The one-horned green light on his head flashed, and he suddenly made a bottomless hole on the mountainside and got into it.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan hugged Mei Ning and asked Zhang Tie to fly into it. After a while, the thousand-foot high mountain trembled and suddenly collapsed.

Although with the abilities of Lu and Yuan, they can completely sweep through this alliance of five major families and seize the spiritual land here. However, these five major families are more or less related to many of the major immortal cultivating sects in Xi Country. Once you show your strength by taking action, you will probably be targeted by Nascent Soul Stage monks immediately.

For now, what Lu Yuan and the others need is stability. Once the Nascent Soul is condensed, there is nothing to fear. It is estimated that by then, those family sects will only try their best to win over each other, and how dare they foolishly turn against each other.

A few days later, thousands of feet underground, there was the source of a certain spiritual vein in Fengliang Mountain.

"What a rich spiritual energy! If I practice hard here, I am confident that I can break through to the late stage of foundation building in more than ten years!" Mei Ning perked up and took several greedy breaths. Even the pill formation, which she had previously thought was as difficult as climbing to the sky, she had the confidence to attack.

"More than ten years is too slow!" Lu Yuan joked.

"This is too slow!" Mei Ning looked at Lu Yuan blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Here are elixirs refined with demon elixirs. They can be used to improve your cultivation, break through bottlenecks, condense your soul, etc." Lu Yuan took out a storage bag and handed it to Mei Ning.

"Brother Zhang will help you set up a spirit gathering array later to help you speed up your cultivation. As for the puzzling points in your cultivation, in addition to the two of us, there is also an old monster who has lived for ten thousand years. He will never let you What a detour to take.”

"Together, these many methods will allow you to form elixirs for ten years, which is enough!" Lu Yuan said slowly.

"Ten years? Pill formation!" Mei Ning opened her mouth in excitement, and it took a long time to calm down.

Lu Yuan then asked the Iron Rhinoceros to dig out an underground space several miles wide and build several quiet rooms for cultivation. The three of them began their own cultivation.

In the days to come, practicing day after day was too boring. Therefore, every once in a while, Lu Yuan and Mei Ning would go out to travel among the famous mountains and rivers in the world.

During this period, the two went to the depths of love many times and almost took the final step.

But at every critical moment, Lu Yuan would wake up in time and resist the urge.

Mei Ning was puzzled. She had already fallen in love with Lu Yuan and had no regrets. She was mentally prepared for the love affairs between men and women. But Lu Yuan retreated in front of Yumen Pass several times, which made her a little confused.

"Are you dissatisfied that my appearance is crude and not comparable to that of the Purple Spirit Fairy?" Mei Ning bit her teeth slightly and asked timidly, staring at Lu Yuan.

"What are you talking about? You and I have already made a lifelong decision in our previous lives. How can her Zi Ling's mere face compare to that?"

"Then why have you never been married to me? Could it be that you..." Mei Ning recalled Han Li's teasing of Lu Yuan in certain aspects when they were in the Land of Netherworld. What's the big deal if it doesn't come true?

"Even if there is really an unspeakable disease, it should be easy to cure with your magical power..." At this time, Mei Ning lowered her head, and there was a faint blush on her exposed face. The snow-white jade neck is extremely touching.

After hearing Mei Ning's words, Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry at first. But soon after seeing Mei Ning's lovely appearance, her heart started to boil, so she grabbed Mei Ning's hand and touched somewhere on her body.

"Ah!" Mei Ning didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so confused, her face was hot with embarrassment, and she quickly covered her face with her sleeves.

"It's not that I don't want to, I'm also greedy for this kind of thing, but it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Your psychic energy will be of great use to me to break through the last bottleneck. When I hit the Nascent Soul, we will... .”

"hey-hey!"

......

In a blink of an eye, Lu Yuan and the others had been under Fengliang Mountain for almost twenty years.

On this day, all the families in the Fengliang Mountain Range suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and all kinds of protective formations were activated.

Xun family, in the main hall.

More than a dozen alchemy monks gathered here, either whispering or remaining silent, but all of them had solemn expressions.

Suddenly, two more people walked in from outside the hall. Although they are all white-haired, their eyes are sharp and they are full of energy. The faint coercion it exuded frightened all the alchemy monks present, and they all stood up to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Xun, Fellow Daoist Yan. I don't know why you are so anxious to gather together the alchemy fellows from each family? Is it related to the unusual changes in the spiritual veins in recent years?" one of them asked the two old men.

Among the two later people, one is the ancestor of the Xun family. His cultivation has already entered the late stage of pill formation for many years. According to rumors, he has already stepped into the Nascent Soul realm. He is truly the number one monk in the Fengliang Mountains!

The other is the ancestor of the Yan family, who also entered the late stage of pill formation more than ten years ago, and his cultivation level cannot be underestimated.

"That's right. In order to find out the cause, Daoist friend Yan and I went hundreds of feet underground, but were blocked by an extremely powerful formation. The two of us tried our best, but we couldn't shake it at all." The old team of the Xun family He said with a gloomy look.

"This formation is so powerful that Brother Xun and I have rarely seen it in our lives. I'm afraid it cannot be set up by ordinary people. However, my friends have studied the art of formation very deeply. Why don't you go down with us to have a look later." The ancestor of the Yan family He looked at the person who had spoken before.

"Since the two Taoist friends are invited, Mu has no reason to shirk, but..." The head of the Mu family changed the subject.

"In the past twenty years, several of the spiritual veins we occupy have experienced thinning and degradation of spiritual energy. Combined with the formations discovered by the two of you today. This shows that someone is coveting us. It seems that they have forgotten Du Du's plan two hundred years ago. A lesson from my family!" A stern expression flashed across the face of the head of the Mu family, and it was obvious that he had murderous intentions.

"My fellow seekers are right, it's time to scare those young people!" A big man from the Sheng family stood up. As one of the five major families, as the head of the family, he must express his attitude and at the same time remove suspicion.

"We should go down together. It doesn't matter how wonderful his formation is. At worst, we can gather the power of more than a dozen alchemy fellows to break it open for him. Even if the person inside is a Nascent Soul cultivator, we are not afraid of him!" Someone else! He said loudly, and his words were agreed by most people.

"Okay, this is what I mean to invite you here! Without further ado, fellow Taoists, please come with me!" Seeing how understanding everyone was, the ancestor of the Xun family nodded with satisfaction, and then took the lead and walked outside.

Many pill-forming ancestors rushed out, immediately astonishing the disciples on duty outside.

Some older people looked in disbelief. They knew very well some of their family's past events.

In their memories, even in their knowledge through their clan origins. The biggest thing that happened in Fengliang Mountain for hundreds of years was the eradication of the Du family two hundred years ago.

But that time it was just a pill-forming monk from each of the five major families who led a team to kill them.

There has never been a record of a dozen or so Dan-forming monks dispatching together like today, even after searching through the clan's classics.

Could it be that the one we have to deal with is the Nascent Soul cultivator!
