I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 204: Driving the tiger to devour the wolf, fruitful results

Luo Tuo looked at Xie Yuan's actions and understood his intention in an instant, and suddenly became furious.

This treacherous man from the Central Plains actually wants to use me!

For a moment, he thought of killing Xie Yuan first, but after becoming a disciple of Ming Wang, Luoto's horizons and knowledge had broadened a lot, and he knew what the best choice was at this time.

Lu Tianyong is at the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation, and is slightly weaker than himself. But if he gets this mysterious weapon, he will be like a tiger with wings, and he may not be able to suppress him anymore!
Compared to making Lu Tianyong, who has reached the third transformation, a more powerful rival, an enemy at the first transformation level of Qi and blood is nothing.

If it were in the past, Luo Tuo would have gone to Xie Yuan to settle the score without caring about anything, but now he has learned to weigh the pros and cons.

He gritted his teeth, snorted angrily, turned around, and rushed towards Lu Tianyong.

When Lu Tianyong saw the black soldier flying towards him, he was startled at first, then he was delighted and reached out to grab it.

Seeing Rotor rushing towards him, he didn't care anymore. With a gloomy face, he stretched out his hand and grasped the Xuanbing. Then he stretched out his other palm to block. He took Rotor's violent punch and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

However, he had already grasped the Xuanbing in the air and swung it down directly. On the way down, the Xuanbing turned into a ferocious saber and chopped down fiercely!
Xie Yuan stood aside and passed by Luoto, but he was no longer the target of the two.

He smiled slightly, turned slowly towards the stone pillar behind him, and then his figure disappeared.

The masters in the distance saw that Roto and Lu Tianyong immediately started to fight with all their strength, fighting to the death. The sound of the fight between the three realms was deafening and echoed throughout the entire third level space.

Xie Yuan, who was originally in a deadly situation, unexpectedly escaped from the situation in one move, causing the two to fight to the death for the treasure, and he himself escaped and disappeared.

Huijue put his palms together and sighed:
"Amitabha, this donor Xie is extremely intelligent, decisive, and talented. It seems that another extraordinary person will appear in the world."

Yuan Zhenying had not expected Xie Yuan to be able to easily resolve the desperate situation, but she still said disapprovingly:
"What's so difficult about this move? I can think of it too."

Huijue shook his head:
"Donor Yuan, if you were in their shoes, would you really be willing to throw away this precious Xuanbing, your last resort? Even if you wanted to throw it away, could you really do it like Donor Xie, without hesitation, and accurately judge the situation and people's hearts? If you threw it to Luo Tuo, Lu Tianyong might not come to stop it."

Qin Zhenyang also nodded slightly:

"Everyone can think of this method after the fact, but few are as decisive as Xie Yuan. Especially his grasp of Loto's thoughts is as clear as reading the lines on his palm. His quick reaction in battle is also a talent."

Yuan Zhenying was a little unconvinced, but still nodded reluctantly:

"That makes some sense. Xie Yuan is indeed extraordinary."

The other masters were also talking about it. They didn't expect that Xie Yuan, who had just been sentenced to death by them, would come back to life with just one move and leave gracefully.

Many people ask themselves if they were in their place, they probably wouldn't be so willing to throw away the treasure they got, even if they knew it was a hot potato. This is how people die for money;

And Xie Yuan not only did not hesitate at all, he also displayed his full power to Roto, for fear that he would not snatch it!
He was so calm and rational, and had no attachment to the treasure, which made most people feel ashamed.

"I actually let Xie Yuan get away."

"A person at the first level of transformation is playing around with two people at the third level of transformation. I can't compare to him."

"Tsk, didn't he have to sacrifice the treasure to escape in the end? He didn't take the treasure away, what's the big deal. I will only be convinced by him if he can snatch the Xuanbing from me right under the noses of the two Sanbians!"

"It's really his loss that you didn't give in... But this Luo Tuo and Lu Tianyong are really angry."

"They are not really angry, they just don't want to let go. Let them fight. If the two Western Regions guys fight to the point of being stupid, we will be relieved."

"Lu Tianyong has obtained the mysterious weapon, and his fighting power has greatly increased. Luo Tuo, who has an indestructible body, did not dare to confront the big knife head-on. The fighting power of the two is now equal."

"Hiss, this Xuanbing is really powerful. I want to get involved."

"With your strength, forget it! You are not at the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation, how can you intervene?"

In the middle of the hall, Lu Tianyong and Luo Tuo's dance moves were so fast that afterimages were left. Their speed was extremely fast and their power was extremely great. Waves of strong winds spread out, creating a strong wind on the third floor, blowing on the cheeks of the audience.

Lu Tianyong gritted his teeth and shouted coldly:
"Roto, you just have to fight with me, right?"

Loto snorted:
"I told you before you came in that you would follow my orders. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

"Idiot! That kid just played you around like a dog, and this Xuanbing was just seducing you. Why don't you go and settle the score with him?"

Lu Tianyong was already furious and no longer gave Luoto any face, and said sarcastically.

Luo Tuo's expression was grim, and he snorted angrily:
"I'll kill you first, then I'll catch him and beat him to death."

Lu Tianyong snorted and was about to say something else when he suddenly opened his eyes and cried out in pain:
"Ah——Who? Xie Yuan!!!"

He staggered, his left leg twisted, and he was hit by three axes in the knee, bleeding profusely, and he could no longer stand steadily.

Lu Tianyong never thought that Xie Yuan would dare to come back again!

Not only he did not expect this, but everyone present did not expect this. The strong men on the sidelines were all stunned for a moment when watching this scene, including Loto who was fighting.

Roto was stunned for a moment, but his eyes lit up. He immediately shouted and punched the opponent on the head without mercy.

Lu Tianyong's heart sank. He was not careful for a moment and was seriously injured in the knee joint by Xie Yuan. Not only did it greatly affect his movement, but his strength was also greatly affected as the force was applied from the ground.

Xie Yuan injured the enemy with one blow, then quickly retreated and hid aside. His eyes flashed slightly as he watched Lu Tianyong instantly fall into an absolute disadvantage in front of Roto, struggling to resist.

You took his things and you still want to run away?
Xie Yuan sneered. What's more, Lu Laosan had been eyeing him covetously, and Lu Xiaosan also coveted his secrets, which made him want to kill him.

Today, he will first collect some interest from his old rival Lu Laosan.

If you can’t do anything to the Grandmaster, how can you do nothing to your son?
It is true that he cannot win in a head-on confrontation, but it is too easy for Xie Yuan to harass at a critical moment with his ability.

Roto's punches were merciless and hit Lu Tianyong again and again, forcing Lu Tianyong to rely on his sword to defend himself.

However, his lower body was unstable and he lacked strength, and the continuous heavy punches gradually bent his waist and he slowly knelt on the ground.

He knew Xie Yuan was wandering nearby, but he had no time to care about him at this moment.

Seeing that Roto was about to strike down with another heavy two-handed punch like a mountain, Lu Tianyong's eyes fixed, and he raised his long sword with both hands, as if offering it, waiting for Roto to hit him.

Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes, now is the time.

He took a big step, holding the axe in both hands, looked at Lu Tianyong's outstretched hand, and chopped it across!

Three tricks!
Three incredibly powerful axe strikes were concentrated on the weak point of Lu Tianyong's right elbow by his now superb axe-control ability. The three axes were as fast as lightning, and merged into one, with a click, cutting through the blood and energy that protected Lu Tianyong, who was at the end of his rope, and directly cut off his elbow.

Xie Yuan reached out and took off the broken forearm along with the Xuanbing, then retreated instantly.

"what--"

A scream was heard, followed by a muffled sound and then stopped abruptly.

Lu Tianyong narrowly avoided Roto's heavy punch, but the punch still hit him hard on the right shoulder, almost hammering his body into the ground.

Loto didn't expect the situation to develop like this. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt his hand being grabbed.

He retracted his hand in shock and anger, but this was the last of Lu Tianyong's strength.

He knew that he was going to die soon. He held onto Loto's right arm with his left hand and spoke through his teeth, carrying hatred from the Netherworld:

"Xie Yuan!"

It was not known whether this voice was a cry of resentment or a call, but Xie Yuan's eyes flashed and he did not give up this opportunity.

Looking at Loto who was struggling like a fixed wooden stake, Xie Yuan flashed to his side, exhaled and spoke, revealing his figure, holding the mysterious weapon, which turned into a giant axe, and fiercely chopped out a black axe light.

Loto felt the threat of death, his hair stood on end, he shouted loudly, and hastily stretched out his empty left fist to block the terrifying black axe blade.

The fist and the axe collided with each other, making a deafening bang that shook everyone's eardrums.

The black axe blade froze for a moment, then penetrated the fist force unhindered, cutting off Roto's fist and crashing into his waist muscles.

Roto let out an earth-shattering howl of anger, and suddenly burst out with strength. He threw Lu Tianyong away with his right hand like a rag bag, and punched Xie Yuan fiercely.

Xie Yuan had anticipated this and had already withdrawn; however, Loto's punch was so powerful that the aftermath alone made Xie Yuan's face turn pale, spit out blood, and fly back, further injuring himself.

Loto covered his severed hand, and the muscles in his waist moved, stopping the blood from gushing out of the hideous wound.

He stared at Xie Yuan who was retreating, looked at the Dali people in that direction and Qin Zhenyang who was as steady as a mountain in the front, his eyes fixed, and he suddenly ran away, directly bumping past the strong man from the Western Region, rushed down to the second floor, and disappeared.

Qin Zhenyang withdrew his strength slightly. At this time, Loto was already seriously injured, but his Vajra Indestructible Power had extremely strong vitality. If he fought to the death, he would probably have to pay a huge price to kill him, so he gave up.

Looking at Xie Yuan who was nearby, Qin Zhenyang had complicated eyes and was speechless for a moment.

Not only him, but all the masters from Dali and Western Regions in the hall were speechless at this moment, staring at Xie Yuan silently and gasping for breath.

In the distance, Lu Tianyong was still lying on the ground, his chest heaving, with more breathing in than out; and not far from him, a black fist as big as a casserole fell to the ground, still looking very alive.

The powerful men who were watching were silent, all trying to digest the scene before them.

Xie Yuan, a warrior at the first level of Qi and Blood Transformation, made two warriors at the third level of Qi and Blood transform around in circles, and finally snatched away the Xuanbing treasure in front of them. Then, he drove the tiger to devour the wolf, and cooperated with the two of them, taking the opportunity to kill Lu Tianyong and seriously injure Luo Tuo!
It was unexpected that he ran away, but he actually dared to come back and interfere in the battle between the two three changes. It was simply unimaginable!

So throwing away the Xuanbing was just part of his plan?

Had he planned this all along?
What is even more unbelievable is that Xie Yuan actually used this tactic of retreating to advance and achieved such a brilliant result!
He was only at the Qi and Blood Transformation Level 1! Among the people present, he was the weakest!
Many powerful men showed expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces. Not to mention themselves, they even suspected that Qin Zhenyang, who had the highest cultivation level, and Hui Jue, who had the strongest inheritance, could not achieve what Xie Yuan did.

They silently chewed on the name Xie Yuan, feeling as if they were witnessing the rise of a dazzling new star.

The premise is that he can leave here alive.

Looking at the mysterious weapon in Xie Yuan's hand, the shock on many people's faces slowly faded away, replaced by greed.

Everyone saw the magic of this treasure, and although Xie Yuan was magical, he was already seriously injured...

Many people had their own plans in mind, but no one dared to take the first step. They all waited quietly for others to take the lead.

In a subtle silence, suddenly one of the Dali masters jumped out and jumped towards Xie Yuan:

"This Xie Yuan is a wanted criminal by the government. I don't know how he got in. I'll arrest him first!"

He leaped up like an eagle and swooped down towards Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan looked at the person who came quietly, his deep eyes reflecting the person's figure.

But before he could move, a long sword came out from somewhere and intercepted the expert who was rushing towards him.

The man was startled and could only turn around reluctantly, landing beside him, looking at Qin Zhenyang with a slightly changed expression:
"Brother Qin, why are you stopping me? Are you going to help this wanted criminal of the imperial court? Or, as the chief disciple of Yunshan Sword Sect and ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, you are also interested in this man's things?"

As soon as he arrived, he threatened Qin Zhenyang, fearing that he would also join in the fight.

Qin Zhenyang's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice:
"Brother Xie just helped us solve two powerful enemies and stabilize the situation. He is our hero in this ruins. How can we take advantage of him?"

"Humph, he didn't do this for us, he did it for himself, what kind of hero is he? What's more, we don't know how this person got in. Maybe he is following the Western Regions and has some bad intentions."

The man's eyes flashed, and he said directly:

"He was originally a wanted criminal. I captured him to contribute to Dali, which is exactly what warriors of my generation should do."

When Yuan Zhenying heard this, she said disdainfully:
"You are shameless and you are just greedy for treasures and taking advantage of others. This is what a warrior should do, and you can even say it like that."

The man listened, his expression unchanged, and he just said calmly:
"I, Jiang Chen, came from humble beginnings. I am not like the ladies of the rich and powerful. I have nothing to fear from the sufferings of the world."

After hearing this, Yuan Zhenying's face turned dark. He grasped the spear in his hand and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Qin Zhenyang.

Qin Zhenyang knew that Jiang Chen was a ghostwriter at the border of Yanzhou, who made a living by announcing notices.

However, in addition to revealing the government's wanted list, he also seems to accept other jobs. He is both good and evil, keeps to himself, and never uses tricks to get things done.

Now that Xie Yuanchibao is injured, he is a safe piece of fat meat. A lone wolf like Jiang Chen will definitely not want to miss such an opportunity.

Qin Zhenyang shook his head and said:

"Brother Jiang, many of our companions in the first floor hall have been saved by the so-called 'heroic spirits'. You have also received their help. Do you remember?"

Jiang Chen's expression changed, and he said calmly:
"So what?"

"Everyone should understand now that there is no heroic spirit here. It's just Brother Xie Yuan who is secretly helping us."

Qin Zhenyang sighed.

Many people groaned in surprise, as they had experienced so many thrilling experiences along the way.

Xie Yuan's ability to hide is unparalleled. If there is anyone in this tower who can do it, it is most likely him.

"Xie Yuan...Brother Xie, is it really you?"

"I have to thank Brother Xie for saving my life!"

Many people reacted and looked at Xie Yuan's eyes, which changed instantly. They showed gratitude and quietly suppressed their other thoughts.

Most of the people in Dali are from famous and upright families. Although they are greedy for treasures, they will not repay kindness with evil.

However, Jiang Chen remained unmoved and said coldly:
"I can handle it myself, so why should he be so self-indulgent? No matter what, he is a wanted criminal who killed officials and a cunning criminal named by the government. It's hard to say what his purpose is in doing this."

When Qin Zhenyang heard Jiang Chen say this, he couldn't help but frown.

He naturally knew that Jiang Chen was actually after what Xie Yuan had, and was unwilling to give it up; but Xie Yuan had saved Dali heroes several times, and even eliminated two top masters in the Western Regions. He was already at the end of his strength, and was definitely not Jiang Chen's opponent. He had made such a great contribution, how could he be bullied?
Qin Zhenyang said in a deep voice:

"After we get out, Brother Jiang will be the ghostwriter. I don't care how you treat the wanted criminals. But here, Brother Xie Yuan has made great contributions. If anyone wants to take advantage of him, I will not ignore him."

His words were so powerful that the people around him were shocked and quietly put away their last little thoughts.

Jiang Chen's eyelids twitched. He looked at Qin Zhenyang, and seeing his firm attitude, he uttered a "hey" and retracted the knife.

He looked at Xie Yuan and said unwillingly:
"I'll let you go today. If it weren't for Chief Qin's insistence on protecting you, you wouldn't be able to escape today. Well, when we get outside, I will definitely catch you... bring you to justice."

After saying that, he snorted, turned around and was about to leave.

Xie Yuan, who had been healing his wounds silently, looked at his back with his eyes slightly narrowed.

At this moment, he saw Jiang Chen preparing to leave, took a breath, and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Chen seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to draw his knife. However, when he had just pulled out half of the knife, his whole body suddenly froze and he dared not move.

A sharp long knife was placed on his neck, and Xie Yuan had already appeared behind him.

Jiang Chen swallowed his saliva and yelled:
"Xie Yuan, I've let you go, but you actually dared to launch a sneak attack in front of so many people!"

Qin Zhenyang also frowned and took a step forward:
"Thank you, brother. Calm down."

The people around saw that Xie Yuan actually still had strength left, and did not hesitate to subdue Jiang Chen, who had reached the second level, in front of everyone. Although it seemed like a sneak attack, his speed, his movements, his method of hiding his tracks, and his decisive approach would make anyone in the second level a little wary.

Xie Yuan said calmly:
"Brother Qin, I am calm, but this Brother Jiang seems to have bad intentions towards me. I don't know if I should stay calm."

Jiang Chen moved slightly, but the knife on his neck was immediately pressed deeper, and the blade cut his skin, leaving a faint line of blood, making him completely afraid to move.

He felt the murderous aura coming from the knife, and realized that Xie Yuan's murderous intention was not a joke.

Qin Zhenyang also saw this and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Xie, I have guaranteed that Jiang Chen will not attack you in this tower. Although the people of the Western Regions are leaderless now, they are still watching covetously from the sidelines, and Luoto is nowhere to be found. We Dali people should be united in our hatred of the enemy. Brother Xie, please put down your knife."

Xie Yuan and Qin Zhenyang looked at each other, and seeing his sincere gaze and the eyes of the people around him looking in the direction he was looking, their eyelids drooped.

"Forget it, I'll give Chief Qin some face. Jiang Chen, if it weren't for Chief Qin protecting you today, you would definitely be dead now and wouldn't be able to get out."

Xie Yuan retracted the knife and calmly repeated the harsh words that Jiang Chen had just said. Then he looked at Qin Zhenyang and suddenly his figure dimmed and turned into a blurry shadow, and quickly retreated.

Everyone only saw a dark shadow leaving with the mysterious soldiers floating in the air. It was difficult to see its trace as it got further away. They could not help but marvel at the magic of this concealing technique.

Qin Zhenyang glanced at Jiang Chen, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face, then looked past him and looked at the people from the Western Regions who were confronting them from a distance on the other side.

When the strong men from the Western Region saw Qin Zhenyang looking at them, they all felt nervous.

They were leaderless at this time, without any masters in the third transformation realm. Facing the well-organized lineup of Qin Zhenyang and others, they would probably find it difficult to resist.

At this moment, Qiu Ming, the disciple of Elder Black Wind, walked to the front, bowed to Qin Zhenyang, and said:
"Brother Qin, we have been in the ruins for so long, and everyone has been fighting and quarreling. We haven't been able to explore properly. I don't know when it will be time to be sent out. If we return empty-handed, wouldn't it be a loss? Why don't we shake hands and make peace now? Let's keep out of each other's way and go find treasures on our own."

Qin Zhenyang said calmly:

"As soon as you people from the Western Regions came in, you relied on your geographical advantage to be aggressive. Now that one of your leaders is dead and the other is injured, you want to shake hands and make peace?"

"We can't do anything. We dare not disobey their orders. Now that they are gone, we can naturally try another method. Brother Qin, what do you think?" "No, I think it's best to catch all of you Western Regions people right now."

Yuan Zhenying took over the conversation and pointed her spear at Qiu Ming, who had been blocking her downstairs for a long time. She couldn't swallow this humiliation in her heart.

Qiu Ming looked at Yuan Zhenying and smiled:
"Miss Yuan, although you have the advantage, not everyone wants to come here to slaughter us like you. I think many of our friends in the Central Plains can't hold back now, right? Let's return to our original intentions and explore on our own. Even if we really have to fight..."

Qiu Ming said faintly:
"We can't do anything to Brother Qin, Miss Yuan, or Master Huijue, but at least half of the other Dali colleagues will die. I can guarantee that."

Qiu Ming's words were like the whispers of a ghost, penetrating into people's hearts and causing the eyes of many powerful Dali men to flicker.

Yes, Qin Zhenyang and his three men are strong and have deep backgrounds, and they have their own ways to deal with the people from the Western Regions;
But not all of them are disciples of top sects, so they are not very confident when they encounter Western Region strongmen of equal strength who fight back desperately.

Qin Zhenyang knew that Qiu Ming had hit the pain point. No matter how weak they were, there were so many masters gathered together. If they really wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop, it would be impossible without a large number of sacrifices if they were forced into a corner.

Yuan Zhenying's eyebrows were raised, but she had no good solution and could only snort coldly.

Qin Zhenyang saw that the eyes of the Dali strongmen were wandering, he exhaled and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, let's draw a clear line in the sand, explore on our own, and don't disturb each other."

"Brother Qin is wise!"

Qiu Ming bowed, and with a few words dispelled the Dali people's idea of ​​attacking, and led his men to the other side.

Qin Zhenyang looked at Qiu Ming deeply, thinking that there were many heroes in the Western Regions.

He wanted to take the opportunity to wipe out the seedlings in the Western Regions and would rather not have the treasures here. Unfortunately, not every warrior has the same big vision and responsibility as him. Some marginal warriors have even quietly left the team and started exploring.

Qin Zhenyang sighed and said to Yuan Zhenying and Huijue beside him:

"Let's go for a walk too."

At the entrance of an armory.

Jiang Chen appeared here with a blank expression, carefully identifying the floor tiles in the room, and sneered:

"The institutions here are dangerous, but not necessarily that great."

Many of the mechanisms on the third floor are capable of killing those at the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm, such as pits in front of the door, hidden arrows behind the door, etc. If not handled properly, it is easy to fall.

But most of the heroes who came in had a teacher and were knowledgeable, had a lot of understanding about this Dao, and had cultivated to the stage of Qi and blood transformation. They were basically veterans.

Especially Jiang Chen, who has traveled far and wide, has seen a lot, and has experienced life and death. For him, who is also a strong man in the second transformation of Qi and Blood, the mechanisms here can pass smoothly as long as he is careful.

He took a few crooked steps, avoided the center, and entered the armory steadily.

Seeing so many sharp weapons inside, most of which were better than his own sword, his eyes showed eagerness while he kept paying attention to his surroundings.

There was a slight creaking sound.

Jiang Chen instantly turned towards the door and sneered:

"Come out, I know you will come."

Xie Yuan outlined his figure at the door, staring at Jiang Chen quietly.

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, his eyes dimmed:

"You don't even give Chief Qin face. You are indeed a wanted criminal."

"I just gave Brother Qin face, otherwise I wouldn't have let you get here alive."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

He took a step forward and walked onto a brick at the door, which made Jiang Chen's eyelids jump, but he was surprised to find that nothing happened.

He showed a hint of doubt, but then his eyes turned eager:

"Do you really think that your sneak attack is a testament to your strength? You actually dared to confront me face to face. I guess I have to thank you for your arrogance. Haha——"

"The mechanism here is very clever. If you don't take too many things and the weight is not enough, it won't be triggered. But if it is triggered, the mechanism in the armory is the most dangerous on this floor."

Xie Yuan interrupted him by talking to himself, tapping his foot on the blue bricks.

Jiang Chen looked at Xie Yuan and had an ominous premonition:

"What are you talking about? How do you know?"

"I think this mechanism is designed to punish greedy people. It is a suitable place for you to be buried."

After Xie Yuan finished saying this, he stomped his feet heavily, jumped out backwards, and closed the door.

Jiang Chen's expression suddenly changed. Listening to the chilling sound of mechanisms in the surrounding walls, he rushed towards the door, but it was too late.

"Ah——Xie Yuan!!!"

A fierce sound of breaking wind accompanied by loud screams rang out in the room. Xie Yuan held the stone door and locked it with its own weight and the bolt.

Feeling the increasingly weaker beating inside, Xie Yuan's ears twitched, he shook his head, stopped moving, and disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, Qin Zhenyang and Yuan Zhenying came over and heard the faint sound inside, and hurriedly opened the stone door.

Jiang Chen was stabbed with spears and sharp arrows all over his body, and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. And countless bloody palm prints were left behind the stone door, messy and desperate.

Qin Zhenyang saw that Jiang Chen was already unconscious, with only half a breath left, and kept muttering the word "Xie Yuan". He was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"This Xie Yuan is vindictive, arrogant, cruel, and not a good person. The description of him as a peerless thug is indeed appropriate. If I see him next time, I must capture him and lock him up at the mountain gate to prevent him from harming others again."

Yuan Zhenying disagreed:

"This guy surnamed Jiang started it first. No wonder Xie Yuan fought back. I think he has a good temper."

On the third floor, there is a pharmacy.

Xie Yuan showed up inside, ducked his head to avoid an arrow, then picked up a palm-leaf fan and fanned a small hole a few times to make the poisonous smoke flow back in. He then found a porcelain bottle, took out the cork, plugged the small hole, and sat down on a chair.

He coughed twice, his face was pale and his spirit was weak. The attack of Qi and Blood Transformation was not so easy to withstand. If it weren't for the huge power of Sweeping Thousands of Troops that could offset some of it, he would not be able to walk at this time.

However, even so, he had suffered serious internal injuries, and with the huge consumption, he was already at the end of his strength. When facing Jiang Chen, he had no strength left, otherwise his whereabouts would not have been detected.

But if Qin Zhenyang hadn't stopped Jiang Chen, he would have attacked him on the spot, and Xie Yuan couldn't tolerate this.

According to Xie Yuan's personality, if someone secretly coveted her, as long as she didn't take any action, he wouldn't bother to care and let people wish for her.

But if anyone really dares to take action, we will show no leniency and chopping off their hands with an axe is the appropriate measure.

"If I go out this time, I'm afraid the news that I have treasures and secret techniques will spread."

Not only Jiang Chen, in fact many people have their eyes on Xie Yuan to some extent.

With so many people witnessing what happened in the ruins this time, the name Xie Yuan will definitely spread, not just to Yunzhou.

Xie Yuan shook his head, but didn't care:

"Fortunately, I am just an ordinary disciple of Yunshan Sword Sect. I practice hard and treat others kindly. I have nothing to do with the wanted criminal Xie Yuan."

He found some excellent healing pills in the pharmacy and started to heal his wounds on the spot. The third floor was still very large, with countless rooms. This pharmacy was in a remote place, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed for the time being.

After his injuries were initially stabilized, Xie Yuan's complexion recovered a little. Looking at the shelves full of rare medicinal materials and pills, Xie Yuan's eyes couldn't help but flicker:

"There are so many precious medicines. It would be great if we could pack them all away..."

This pharmacy alone would probably cause a sensation outside. Many of the medicinal materials inside were top treasures for the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm, and some were of the Earth Treasure level, all neatly stacked there.

Unfortunately, Xie Yuan only has two hands, and he can't carry so much even if he wants to.

“Pick up medicine!

"Blood Ganoderma? I don't want the small one, I want the biggest one...

"Don't use Sanwang ginseng that's less than 100 years old...

"Blood-patterned purple dragon vine? It takes up space, don't...

"I need to take five bottles of the best Buddhist Xiao Huan Dan first. No, three bottles. I also need to pack the rest..."

Xie Yuan filled a bag with food, carried it on his shoulder, and sighed:
"It would be nice if there was a space bracelet or something."

Unfortunately, he didn't have anything of this level yet, nor had he heard of any here. He could only pack up the precious medicines he had carefully selected and left here with satisfaction.

These precious medicines do not require quantity but quality, and each one is a rare and precious item.

If he makes good use of it after returning, it will greatly improve his strength and accelerate his cultivation to the second level without any shortage of auxiliary medicines.

Plus the mysterious weapon in my hand...

Xie Yuan's mind moved, and he silently thought about the shape of the sword of the Yunshan Sword Sect. He saw that the black weapon was like softened candy, and its surface seemed to melt and deform, and then it became the sword of the Sword Sect disciples, exactly the same.

However, in reality, its material is infinitely superior to the disciples' swords. It is sharp, solid and unstoppable.

Xie Yuan was excited:

"This Xuanbing alone is worth the money, not to mention all the precious medicines! This is a great harvest, thank you very much, Mr. Lu."

Xuanbing's control changed many times, and gradually he had mastered it. When he used the Tianyin Technique, it was just a faint shadow if you didn't look closely.

Xie Yuan felt that he had stayed on the third floor for a while. He glanced at the road leading to the fourth floor and felt that the road there should be unobstructed.

The third floor is filled with rare items such as Xuanbing, and the storeroom on the fourth floor contains many real Xuanbing...

But Xie Yuan shook his head calmly. Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Even if there are many treasures on it, it will be useless if you don’t have the life to get them.

So he left contentedly and went straight down to the second floor.

After walking half a circle around the outer stone house, Xie Yuan saw from afar that Huang Zifeng and his companions were carefully exploring along the stone wall. Lin Zhen was still calling out in a low voice:

"Junior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Zhang..."

Xie Yuan looked slightly relieved. The things on the second floor were of limited use to those in the Transformation Realm. Although some people came down as a second choice, they were not many.

Lin Zhen and his companions are all outstanding disciples of the Yunshan Sword Sect. Under the leadership of Huang Zifeng, who is at the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage, they have been able to stay on this floor for such a long time without any danger.

Xie Yuan suddenly had an idea. While the others were exploring a house, he sneaked into a pharmacy not far away. After making some arrangements and changing his clothes, he pretended to have stayed there all the time, quietly waiting for his fellow disciples to meet up.

"Junior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Zhang..."

Lin Zhen's gentle call sounded outside again, and Xie Yuan "refreshed" and responded:
"Senior Sister Lin, I'm here!"

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and then Huang Zifeng carefully opened the door, revealing Lin Zhen and others behind him.

Seeing Zhang Shan’s excited face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.

But they first checked around the door and asked in a low voice:
"Junior Brother Zhang, is there any mechanism here?"

"I saw a hidden arrow hole on the top of the door, and I didn't know what was happening outside, so I didn't dare go out."

Xie Yuan whispered.

After being reminded by Xie Yuan, several people looked up and indeed found the mechanism. They carefully avoided it and finally reunited with Xie Yuan.

Lin Cheng said happily:

"Junior Brother Zhang, we finally found you! We have been to every floor, but we were just afraid, just afraid..."

Xie Yuan had a bewildered expression on his face. After listening to their stories, he pretended to be shocked:

"How could this place be so strange?"

"Yes. Many of the traps are very dangerous. Fortunately, we have Senior Brother Huang to lead us. Junior Brother Zhang is indeed steady. It is right for him to stay alone."

Lin Zhen said softly, and after one word of praise, Huang Zifeng immediately straightened his chest and raised his head.

"Yeah, I just don't dare run around."

After a while of chatting, Xie Yuan casually said:
"There are quite a few treasures and elixirs here. I think there may be Qingling Pills as well."

"Qingling Pill!"

Several people were shocked and walked around the pharmacy for a few times, all of them were overjoyed:
"It was a pleasant surprise to find the Blood Dragon Pill at the beginning, but I didn't expect there would be the Pure Spirit Pill here! This is indeed an ancient relic. Junior Brother Zhang, you found it well!"

Xie Yuan smiled innocently. He had almost no more space for his things. The Qingling Pill was not that important to him, so he gave it away.

Lin Cheng came over with a few porcelain bottles, looking excited. When he saw Xie Yuan, he remembered something and handed over another bottle, saying mysteriously:

"Junior Brother Zhang, there is a treasure here, take one bottle first."

Xie Yuan took it and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment.

It turned out to be the Blood Dragon Pill? This... He was the one who sent a few people to the pharmacy that had the Blood Dragon Pill.

He looked surprised:
"Brother Lin, this is the result of your exploration. How can this be made..."

"Take it! I can't use it all and I have to hand it over to the sect, so I'll give this bottle to you. Didn't you see the Qingling Pill and other treasures and not keep them for yourself?"

Xie Yuan held the Blood Dragon Pill in silence.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door, and Qin Zhenyang suddenly appeared. He looked at his fellow disciples in the room with a relieved expression:
"Great, great! I finally found you!"

"Senior Brother Qin!"

When several people saw Qin Zhenyang coming, they all showed surprise.

Huang Zifeng said excitedly:

"We saw many experts in action from afar, but we didn't dare to approach them and stayed away from them. We didn't expect Brother Qin to come in and look for us!"

"If you guys get trapped, the sect will definitely come looking for you."

Qin Zhenyang smiled:
"No one is missing. Very good, very good."

"Yeah, we were lucky to be together from the beginning... Oh, except for Junior Brother Zhang. He got separated from us, but he was smart and knew not to run around. He waited for us to find him."

"is it?"

Qin Zhenyang looked at Xie Yuan for a few times, and seeing that he was also calm, he nodded and said:

"You all handled it very well. If this trial can still be considered a trial, it deserves an A."

"Oh? Senior Brother Qin, can we then enter the Sword Peak to gain enlightenment?"

Lin Cheng was somewhat looking forward to it.

Qin Zhenyang nodded:

"I will report this to Master."

"Great!"

Several people showed joy. Jianfeng was the holy land of the Sword Sect and there were countless legends of people gaining enlightenment in sword form there. There was no disciple of the Sword Sect who was not looking forward to entering there to experience the enlightenment.

Xie Yuan also smiled and began to look forward to returning to the Sword Sect.

This time I gained a lot, and there will be other rewards when I return. I can practice well for a period of time and greatly improve my strength.

Hidden staircase on the third floor.

The fair and clear-skinned monk Huijue stood here, looking up at the dark entrance above, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

He clasped his hands together, bowed his head and recited silently, then took a step and walked up the stairs. Step by step, he gradually reached the fourth floor and his figure disappeared.
