I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 205 A great harvest!
Pagoda, second floor.

A group of six people from the Yunshan Sword Sect, led by Qin Zhenyang, explored and observed the rooms and murals.

The second level is just an external training level, but Qin Zhenyang can move smoothly even at the third level.

With Qin Zhenyang, a top master in the third level of Qi and blood, leading them, the exploration of the ruins for his fellow brothers and sisters was like a picnic. Even if other masters saw them, they would retreat when they saw Qin Zhenyang.

Qin Zhenyang originally came here to find Xie Yuan and his group. Now that he has found them, his mission is accomplished.

There are still many dangers in this pagoda, and what is even more dangerous is that there are masters everywhere, exploring everywhere, especially Luoto who is missing. Qin Zhenyang is worried about leaving a few people somewhere and leaving himself. If something unexpected happens, it will be a matter of eternal regret for him, his senior brother.

Therefore, Qin Zhenyang would rather give up the treasure hunt on the third floor and be the companion of Xie Yuan and others. This senior brother has always been concerned about the sect and fellow disciples. He is meticulous, calm and reliable. There is a reason why he is deeply loved.

However, in this way, with Qin Zhenyang leading the way and Huang Zifeng covering the rear, the four outer disciples who originally came for the trial received luxurious treatment in the ruins. They were very happy with the fruitful exploration and kept smiling.

Of course, to be precise, there are three. After all, Xie Yuan actually has no interest in the things on the second floor.

"Brother Qin, are there many experts here this time?"

Exploration was easy after all. Huang Zifeng no longer had to shoulder the responsibility of leading the team. With the support of his senior brother, he finally relaxed and asked curiously about the news of the masters.

Qin Zhenyang nodded and said seriously:

"Quite a few. Miss Yuan Zhenying from the Gubei Yuan family and Master Huijue from the Prajna Temple are both very powerful."

"Huijue? Is he the disciple of Master Zhiling? The one who entered Bodhi Temple at such a young age?"

Huang Zifeng had a look of surprise on his face, and the people around him pricked up their ears, quietly eavesdropping on this underworld story.

Qin Zhenyang nodded:

"That's right. Master Huijue is worthy of being Master Zhiling's disciple. He has been calm and composed all the time. The traps in the ruins and the three-transformation masters in the Western Regions seemed to have failed to make him show his true strength. He is the strongest Qi and Blood Second Transformation master I have ever seen."

Everyone was amazed and said that he was worthy of being the disciple of a master on the Tianlong Ranking and the master of the Bodhi Temple of Prajna Temple.

Xie Yuan also recalled Huijue's performance and nodded secretly. He was worthy of being a disciple of the world's number one Buddhist temple, which was in line with his imagination of the Prajna Temple since he joined the Tieyi Sect.

"What about the Western Region?"

Huang Zifeng saw that Senior Brother Qin praised Huijue, sighed for a while, and then asked.

Qin Zhenyang's expression became slightly serious:
“This time they have Luo Tuo, a disciple of Ming Wang from the Great Vajra Temple, and Lu Tianyong, the son of Lu Lao San. Both of them are masters of the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation.”

Huang Zifeng and the others all had stern expressions on their faces. Even though they were all in Dali, they had heard of the names of these two masters.

"There is also Elder Black Wind's disciple Qiu Ming. Although his strength is at the second level, he is very scheming and has superb skills. He is not someone that can be easily defeated."

Although they had never heard of this name, the name of Old Man Black Wind was well-known. Before coming in, they saw him and Lupe fighting against each other, and the fight was fierce. They expected that his disciples would be strong as well.

Huang Zifeng's expression tightened slightly:
"I didn't expect so many strong men from the Western Region to come this time. Senior Brother Qin, I wonder if they can still resist without you?"

Qin Zhenyang shook his head:
"It's okay. The fight between the two sides has come to an end. The winner has been decided. Now we have to draw a clear line and not interfere with each other. Otherwise, I won't have time to come and look for you."

"Oh? It seems that we, Dali, have won? I guess it was because Senior Brother Qin showed his power and frightened the villains."

Huang Zifeng smiled in admiration.

Qin Zhenyang did not nod, but said in a slower voice:

"I won, but it wasn't because of me..."

"Hmm? Is that Master Huijue? Or Miss Yuan? Are they that strong?"

Huang Zifeng was extremely interested in the third-level battle formation, but unfortunately his cultivation level was too low to get involved. When he heard that it was not Qin Zhenyang who made the first contribution, he immediately became curious and kept asking Qin Zhenyang questions.

"neither."

Qin Zhenyang's tone was somewhat inexplicable:
"There is another expert this time, who alone turned the situation upside down. Lu Tianyong is dead, and Luo Tuo escaped with serious injuries, forcing Qiu Ming to threaten with all his might to protect himself. He only allocated a small area for them to explore, but our Dali experts reaped a great harvest."

"What? Lu Tianyong is dead? Two people with three transformations, one dead and one escaped?"

Huang Zifeng stared with his eyes wide open, Lin Cheng and others were also greatly surprised, so this is how the winner is determined?
How could it be so easy to kill a triple-transformation strongman? In the end, one was killed and one was injured by one person?
Huang Zifeng asked anxiously:
"Which expert is so powerful?"

"This man is a wanted criminal in Yunzhou, his name is Xie Yuan..."

"Xie Yuan?"

"Thank you, Escort Chief?"

Several people exclaimed in unison, which surprised Qin Zhenyang. He said in surprise:
"Do you know him?"

It took Huang Zifeng a while to come back to his senses and he told Lin Chengze about the dispute between him and Xie Yuan in Yunzhao County. Lin Chengze also said with a strange look on his face that he still had to be introduced to the sect by Xie Yuan.

After listening to what they said, Qin Zhenyang realized that they had this connection with Xie Yuan.

Especially when he heard that Xie Yuan was still practicing outside half a year ago, he also showed a complicated expression:
"External training... three transformations... Xie Yuan's talent is truly extraordinary. He is simply a rare genius."

Several people looked dazed. The fact that the steady and strong Qin Zhenyang used such an adjective showed that he was shaken.

"Even though Xie Yuan is strong... he can't kill San Bian, right?"

Huang Zifeng was a little hesitant. Before he came in, he had been shocked by Xie Yuan's strength in Lu Laosan's camp, but it was not possible for him to kill Sanbian.

Lin Zhen and the others nodded subconsciously.

Qin Zhenyang came back to his senses and said slowly:
"Although he didn't kill me directly, it was equivalent to dying at his hands..."

So he told several fellow junior brothers and sisters everything that happened on the third floor, and they were all in a trance again.

Huang Zifeng was silent for a long while before he sighed:

"I didn't expect that Xie Yuan is not only incredibly powerful, but also has a flexible and decisive mind. He was able to get involved in the fight between the three changes and even win in the end. This..."

He looked extremely shocked, and even doubted himself. Was it really appropriate to choose Xie Yuan as his target?
Lin Cheng and Lin Zhen both looked at him with admiration, and whispered in unison:
"As expected of you, you are the leader of the escort team..."

He could even perform three transformations, just like a puppet in his hands!
Especially since Lu Laosan's sons both died at the hands of Xie Yuan, both of them were extremely excited and pleased, and it seemed that it would be Lu Laosan's turn next time.

Although they couldn't kill their enemies, it seemed possible for Xie Biaotou to avenge them...

Lin Zhen's face flushed and his eyes sparkled.

Pei Yu felt as if he were there, imagining that he was surrounded by masters from both the east and west, and he made the famous three-transformation master eat dust behind his back, and in the end one of them died and the other was seriously injured, and he left with his treasure... His eyes narrowed slightly, intoxicated, and he sighed after a while:

"Damn, this is so enjoyable!"

"Amazing, awesome! Xie Yuan is truly amazing."

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic reaction, Xie Yuan scratched the back of his head and had to perfunctorily agree with them so as not to seem out of place.

Listening to others praising you in person, almost to the sky, feels a bit shameful, but... it's also quite comfortable.

Hi, it’s not as great as you say… hehe.

Several people excitedly discussed Xie Yuan in front of him, praising and admiring him. Lin Cheng even used his ability as a scholar to praise Xie Yuan as the most righteous man in the world, which made Xie Yuan gradually feel ashamed and embarrassed.

After listening to Lin Cheng's description, Qin Zhenyang couldn't help but wonder how such a warrior who was the embodiment of justice could become a wanted criminal. However, after listening to the Lin brothers and sisters describing Yu Chunsheng's deeds and reputation in the local area, he had a new opinion on Xie Yuan's killing of officials.

But his methods are questionable... Thinking of Xie Yuan's decisiveness in killing Jiang Chen, Qin Zhenyang thought to himself:
"He is indeed a chivalrous man, but he is also lawless and has his own temper. If you make friends with him, he will stand by you at all costs. If you make an enemy of him, you will be in great trouble."

Qin Zhenyang got to know Xie Yuan, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, a little better, and developed an interest in getting to know and talking to him.

Xie Yuan, who was right beside him, saw that the more they talked, the more interested they became and the more they kept surrounding him. For a moment, he became even more silent.

"Junior Brother Zhang, don't you think Chief Xie is really amazing?"

Seeing that Xie Yuan didn't say much, Lin Zhen turned his eyes and looked at him.

Xie Yuan sighed and said with an awkward smile:
"Awesome, I think he's pretty awesome too."

"It's not just amazing, it's very amazing."

Lin Zhen corrected him seriously, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face, as if he was recommending his idol to people who didn't know how to appreciate his kindness.

Xie Yuan could only respond:

"Yes, yes, that's amazing..."

...It's really hard to praise yourself in public.

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, a violent shaking interrupted the conversation of several people.

The tower suddenly shook, making a rumbling sound. Several people became unsteady, with looks of doubt and uncertainty:
"What happened?"

"Be careful! Junior brothers and sisters, come to me!"

Cries of surprise were heard everywhere in the tower. When everyone was confused as to what was going on, they felt a flash of light in front of their eyes, the scene changed, and they subconsciously closed their eyes, and then their whole bodies felt hot.

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Yuan suddenly found himself back in the desert, in the basin that had turned into a funnel.

He looked back and found that there were quite a few people around him. They were all masters who had entered the ruins to explore. They all looked confused at this moment.

At the lowest point of the basin, the big hole that was the entrance to the ruins had disappeared, the sand was flat, and the shadow of the pagoda above had disappeared at some point, as if it had never appeared.

The basin today, apart from the occasional traces of city ruins, is nothing special, as if the exploration of the ruins was just a mirage.

Xie Yuan quietly touched the sword at his waist, feeling the heavy weight of the bag behind him, and felt a little relieved.

"The things are still there, it's not a dream..."

However, the young masters who were exploring the ruins all had vague expressions and it was obvious that they didn't know what was going on for a moment.

shhh-

The sound of breaking air was approaching rapidly, and many figures quickly appeared around the young masters. While they were all on guard, the masters took their disciples and descendants back.

"What's going on? Where are the remains of the pagoda?"

Many masters asked questions anxiously, and it was obvious that they had no idea what was happening outside.

Li Xingtuo and Lupe rushed to the side of Xie Yuan and the others. Seeing that they were all intact, they nodded repeatedly:

"It's good that we found it. Zhenyang, what happened inside? Why did the ruins disappear?"

It turned out that in the eyes of the grandmaster outside, the ruins had always been normal, and the phantom of the pagoda was also very stable, but it just suddenly began to flicker and tremble, and then disappeared along with the entrance to the big cave, and then the disciples all appeared out of thin air in the desert.

Qin Zhenyang gave a brief report, and then said:
"...Master, I don't know what happened. I was teleported out with my fellow disciples."

Li Xingtuo raised his eyebrows slightly and said curiously:

"Shouldn't it?"

There was also a master who was unwilling to give up, and he attacked the big hole with his weapons, digging out the yellow sand for several feet. However, he found that there was nothing but sand underneath.

The masters were not surprised. They didn't need to see it with their own eyes to feel that there was only yellow sand below, and no pagoda. The cave entrance was there, but it led to another relic space.

This ancient ruins is gone? It's suddenly closed?
The masters were a little unwilling, but the ruins were mysterious and anything could happen, so they had no choice but to accept it.

Lu Lao San walked around the basin, his face changed several times, and he couldn't help but pull a Western Region disciple to ask:
"Where's Tianyong? Have you seen Tianyong?"

The disciple was frightened by Lu Lao San's violent aura and his face turned pale. He stammered:
"Lu...Grandmaster Lu..."

That disciple was not without a teacher either. His teacher was also a master. He slapped Lu Laosan's hand away and said coldly:

"Lu Lao San, why are you being so mean to my disciple when you can't find your son?"

Lu Lao San suppressed his anxiety, took a deep breath, and stared at the disciple:
"You go on."

“Master Lu, Brother Lu has unfortunately died.”

"what?!"

Lu Laosan's eyes turned red:

"How is it possible? He has already reached the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation. Who can kill him?"

"It's... it's Loto."

"Roto?"

Lu Laosan suddenly turned around and looked at Ming Wang and the dark and strong monk with a broken hand beside him, anger and confusion in his eyes.

Indeed, among so many people who entered, only Luo Tuo and Qin Zhenyang could do anything to Lu Tianyong.

But why?
However, he did not dare to go and cause trouble for Ming Wang directly. He turned back and stared at the disciple:

"Why did Luoto kill Tianyong?"

"Luo Tuo and Brother Lu were fighting over a Xuanbing, and a conflict broke out, and he was killed by mistake."

Lu Laosan's eyes were full of bloodshot:
"Even if Luoto is powerful, Tianyong is alert and his agility is much better than that stupid bull. Even if he can't defeat him, he won't die on the spot... Tell me the details."

"..."

After hearing this, Lu Laosan's eyes gradually widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face:

"Xie Yuan? What did you say! Xie Yuan? With his strength, how could he possibly hurt Tian Yong?"

“Master Lu, everything I said was what I saw with my own eyes. Everyone present witnessed it. You can go and ask others.”

Lu Laosan was stunned for a moment, his expression gradually twisted, his face became very scary, and he muttered to himself:
"Xie Yuan? Xie Yuan...Xie Yuan! If you dare to kill Tian Yong, I will tear you into pieces!"

He couldn't go to Luo Tuo and Ming Wang to settle the score, so he could only put the blame on Xie Yuan. But without Xie Yuan, Lu Tianyong's survival would not be a problem.

Lu Tianyong was the most promising son of Lu Laosan and also his right-hand man. He invested a lot of effort and resources in him and had high hopes for him. However, he was killed once after entering the ruins.

He roared angrily to the sky, causing everyone present to look at him sideways.

Ming Wang looked at Luo Tuo's severed hand, his eyes narrowed into slits:

"You said you were injured, but you didn't kill many people from the Central Plains, but you killed Lu Tianyong?"

Sweat beads oozed from Luo Tuo's forehead. The arrogant man was extremely terrified in front of the Ming King:

"They are all, they are all cunning people from the Central Plains..."

"enough."

Ming Wang said calmly:

"What's that person's name? Xie Yuan?"

"Hearing them call him that..."

"Xie Yuan..."

Ming Wang showed a kind smile and flashed in front of the powerful men of Dali.

Seeing this, Li Xingtuo floated up and stood before the King of Light, smiling and saying:
"What advice do you have, Lord Ming?"

In this battle for the ruins, although the masters failed to enter, they not only recovered their disciples, but also suffered heavy casualties among the young warriors of the Western Region, with even one triple-transformation warrior dead and one seriously injured. On the other hand, Dali did not lose many people and was obviously victorious.

The Ming Wang was still smiling, looking like a smiling Buddha, but his eyes were cold:
"Master Li, may I ask which family is Xie Yuan, a disciple of yours, from?"

Li Xingtuo smiled slightly, his expression unchanged:
"What is the matter that the King Ming is looking for Xie Yuan for?"

Li Xingtuo asked the question even though he knew the answer. As a top master, he took in all the noise and conversations around him. The word "Xie Yuan" was mentioned the most. He already understood the whole process.

Ming Wang laughed and said:

"I just want to see which family this talented person is from. He is so amazing, but I have never heard of him before."

At this time, Lu Lao San also appeared nearby, looking back and forth among the crowd, and shouted:
"Where's Xie Yuan! Where is Xie Yuan? Get out here!"

The Lin siblings looked at the furious Lu Lao San with hatred in the crowd, and their eyes were filled with satisfaction when they saw him like this.

“Humph, this evil villain still wants to find Escort Xie! Escort Xie is like a dragon that is hard to find. How can he just go and see him whenever he wants? The next time I see him, I will chop off his head!”

Lin Zhen said in a soft voice with a hateful tone.

Xie Yuan nodded in agreement:
"Yes, he still wants to find the powerful Xie Biaotou?"

Lin Zhen was originally in a good mood, but when he heard Xie Yuan agreeing with him, he felt that he was teasing him. His face turned red and he glared at him.

However, neither Lu Laosan nor King Ming saw where Xie Yuan was, and could only look at Li Xingtuo unwillingly.

Li Xingtuo still had a calm expression. He looked at the two and said:

"Ming Wang, do you think Li's sword is just for decoration? You actually came to me to ask for someone."

Ming Wang's eyes narrowed as he looked at the tough Li Xingtuo and said calmly:

"I just want to see what kind of young man can hurt my useless disciple with his cultivation of the First Transformation Realm. How about that?"

Li Xingtuo glanced at him, then glanced at Lu Laosan, and said calmly:

"Xie Yuan is a warrior from Dali. It is not your turn to give orders."

When Lu Laosan was glanced at by Li Xingtuo's sword-like gaze, his eyes suddenly calmed down a lot and he subconsciously took two steps back.

King Ming looked at Li Xingtuo, was silent for a while, glanced at the people in Dali, and suddenly laughed:

"I'm afraid you don't know which sect this Xie Yuan belongs to, right?"

Li Xingtuo just looked at Ming Wang and did not answer.

Ming Wang smiled, turned around and left:

"I heard that this Xie Yuan is very good at hiding his tracks, and he is a wanted criminal in your area. I'm afraid you don't know when he sneaked in. Maybe he sneaked in with bad intentions? Maybe one of your disciples has already been replaced by him and sneaked into the sect as an undercover! Haha, this Xie Yuan is really an amazing young man. Dali actually treats such a young man as a wanted criminal. Well, Xie Yuan, if you can't stay in Dali one day, there will be a place for you in my Western Regions! Hahaha..."

The fat body of King Ming gradually went away. Seeing this, the strong men from the Western Regions felt bored and left one by one, leaving the people of Dali excited and happy that they had won the battle for the ruins.

Although the last words said by Ming Wang were somewhat disappointing, the other masters did not believe that Xie Yuan could have hidden it from their eyes and pretended to be a disciple. Ming Wang was more likely to lose the battle than the argument, so they did not take it seriously.

Xie Yuan was standing in an inconspicuous place among the crowd, sweating profusely, cursing in his heart:
"I don't know whether this fat lama did it on purpose or accidentally, but he guessed so accurately!"

Maybe he just wanted to disgust the masters, and what he said turned out to be right. Fortunately, everyone was united and trusted their own people, so they didn't fall for his divisive tactics!
Li Xingtuo turned around and glanced at several disciples. His gaze seemed to penetrate everyone, making them feel that they could not hide any secrets.

Xie Yuan was also startled, thinking:

"If it was the Heavenly Hidden Technique that allowed me to conceal my breath and stay hidden, I would definitely not be able to hide from his sight. Fortunately, I am transferring my luck. Now I am Zhang Shan, not pretending at all."

Even so, Xie Yuan's heart still tensed up, and he watched his nose and his heart, not allowing himself to show any inappropriate reaction.

Li Xingtuo glanced at his disciple and nodded slightly:

"You have done well this time. The trial has been successfully completed. Haha, your outer disciple trial is probably the most special one in all these years. It can be regarded as a good experience for you. Let's go back to the mountain."

Li Xingtuo said goodbye to the other masters one by one and led everyone towards Hulukou, Xiguan.

The masters watched the people from Yunshan Sword Sect leave and began to discuss with each other again.

This time, Li Xingtuo confronted the famous strongman Ming Wang in the Western Regions, and he was not at a disadvantage. The rumors about his strength were indeed true. His disciple Qin Zhenyang also entered and exited the ruins with ease, becoming the only healthy Qi and Blood Level 3 master, unlike the other two who died and one was injured. The Yunshan Sword Sect was indeed very powerful.

In addition to the Yunshan Sword Sect, what they discussed more was naturally the mysterious Xie Yuan.

As a person at the first level of Qi and Blood Transformation, he moved freely among a group of people with much higher cultivation than himself, and took away the rarest treasures from the first three levels, becoming the biggest winner of this ruins.

With his strength and cultivation, he could achieve such a level, and the results he achieved were simply incredible.

Even many masters were amazed by this and secretly memorized the young man's name.

Although most of the masters present came from Yun and Yan states, the battle for the ruins involved the top masters from the Western Regions and Dali. The result of this battle would spread throughout the world soon, and the same would be true for Xie Yuan, the most eye-catching name this time.

Yuan Zhenying followed behind her elders, talking excitedly about what happened inside. When she passed by Huijue, who had a clear face, she smiled and greeted him:
"Master Huijue, I'm leaving now. Forget about today. We must learn from each other next time we meet."

Huijue looked humble:
"Amitabha, I'm afraid I'm no match for Miss Yuan."

Yuan Zhenying looked disgusted:
"As soon as you get in front of people, you start pretending again."

The crowd gradually dispersed. One master who was unwilling to give up secretly explored the place, but unfortunately he got no results and had to leave with regret.

The desert became quiet. Except for many uncollected corpses of the bandits that were exposed in the wind and sand and were soon buried, only the ruins and broken rocks remaining outside silently witnessed the disputes of that period.

A great battle involving masters came to an end, involving countless people, but the ones who were most deeply involved were only Xie Yuan and his companions and Lu Lao San.

Some people harvested a lot, but some people lost everything. Xie Yuan reaped a rich harvest, but Lu Lao San spent so much effort, but in the end he didn't get the ruins for himself. Not only did his bandits suffer heavy losses, but even his most outstanding son was missing. He didn't even get to enter the ruins, and he didn't even pick up a blood-replenishing pill. His loss was maximized.

For many years, Lu Laosan felt that he had never suffered such a setback. Even with such a loss, even the rule of Oasis City would be impacted, and he might have to shrink his power.

The rage and hatred in his heart were already overwhelming, and he wished he could tear Xie Yuan into pieces.

However, he wanted to find Xie Yuan, but Xie Yuan had disappeared. How could he find Zhang Shan, the outer disciple of the Sword Sect who had already slipped back to Yunshan?
Even though it is winter, the water of the Yunshan Waimen creek meanders and gurgles, the air is moist, and the grass is green, which is a million times better than the bitter cold and windy outside the Great Wall.

The few young disciples who finally returned to the sect breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and for a moment they only felt fatigue surging in their hearts.

Although the adventures over the past few days did not last long, they were like a long-lasting hard training, and now it has finally come to an end.

Li Xingtuo and Lupei also sympathized with them. After all, this was the first trial for the outer disciples to go down the mountain. As a result, the troubles became bigger and bigger. It even involved him to step in and rescue people from the ancient ruins. The ruins of the pagoda tower were rare among the many ancient ruins in terms of mystery and high level. Fortunately, the danger level was not the top one.

It was their first time down the mountain and everything went so smoothly. They must be very tired, so Li Xingtuo asked them to go back and rest first and talk about it later if there was anything else.

Anyway, I have basically understood everything I should know along the way.

Everyone felt relieved and said goodbye to each other briefly. Huang Zifeng wanted to say a few more words to Lin Zhen, but the junior sister left without even looking back, leaving him with his hand behind her. The words "Junior sister, have a good rest" stuck in his throat, and then he let it go and left lonely.

Everyone returned to their own residences. Although Lin Cheng was tired, he was also very excited:

"Junior Brother Zhang, I never thought this trial would turn out like this!"

"Indeed, it's all thanks to that evil villain Lu Laosan."

Xie Yuan said with a smile.

Lin Cheng's eyes flashed, and he clapped his hands and said:
"This is called losing both the wife and the army. Not only did his plan to occupy the ruins fail, but he got nothing and lost a son and many capable bandits! Hahaha, how wonderful! The wicked will be punished by God! No! The wicked will be punished by Chief Xie!"

Xie Yuan nodded:

"Let the enemy's plans go awry, their plots fail, and they beat their chests and stamp their feet. Xie Yuan is an expert at doing these things."

"Okay! Alas, it's a pity that Chief Xie is so elusive and has disappeared without a trace, otherwise I would definitely treat him to a feast and toast him a glass of wine to make things clear!"

Lin Cheng clapped his hands and sighed. After going out, his scholarly temperament was still there, but his heroic temperament had increased a bit. When Xie Yuan saw him, he already had one-third of his father's expression.

Xie Yuan smiled and said:
"If you can't invite Chief Xie, why not invite me? It's the same."

"Haha, OK! I'll ask the kitchen to add two more dishes for us to celebrate!"

Lin Cheng laughed loudly and hurried out to the cafeteria outside the gate. The chef in the cafeteria saw that they had just returned from the trial, and heard that they had been through a great battle and that the sect leader personally came to pick them up, so he also made some stir-fried dishes for them and asked them to bring them back.

The two of them had been eating dry food for who knows how long, and finally they got to eat the hot dishes and immediately devoured them with relish.

Lin Cheng wolfed down his food while speaking incoherently, not caring about his image as a scholar:
"Junior Brother Zhang, I feel that your performance this time has impressed everyone!"

"Brother Lin, you are too kind. Your performance is truly admirable."

Xie Yuan replied casually.

Lin Cheng put down his chopsticks and said seriously:

"I'm serious. Junior Brother Zhang, your swordsmanship changes almost every time you fight. It's said that fighting is the best way to break through, but your frequency of breakthroughs is a bit too fast! Your current attainments in the Yunshan sword style are definitely not inferior to most of our outer sect colleagues.

"And your decisive judgment when encountering things is totally unlike the simple and honest Junior Brother Zhang! After a few battles, it's like you have become a different person. You said..."

Lin Cheng paused, letting Xie Yuan raise his eyelids, looking at him and continuing:
"You are born with a fighting physique, so you are most suitable for fighting others and make the fastest progress!"

Xie Yuan laughed:
"How should I know? But isn't it the same for you, Senior Brother Lin? You gained insights while fighting the horse bandits, and the stronger you get, the stronger you become. I'm afraid that even if you don't do anything, you will soon break through to the fourth level... Not to mention that the harvest this time is so rich."

When talking about the harvest, Lin Cheng's eyes lit up:
"Indeed, what I gained this time was not only the knowledge gained while traveling abroad, but also the experience of visiting ancient ruins, which I'm afraid most of my senior brothers and sisters have never experienced.

"Besides that, I feel like I can handle fighting and killing people. I have a better understanding of how to react to enemies and I am no longer a useless scholar who can't even lift a finger.
"Secondly, there are so many harvests! There are so many Blood Dragon Pills alone, not to mention the Spirit Purification Pills. I feel that we can't use them all before our Qi and Blood transform! We can't use so many treasures by ourselves, so we can hand them over to the sect, which will bring us a lot of contributions and improve our treatment in the sect. Haha, I feel that this time, maybe we can all enter the inner sect directly, right? After all, the sect master said that we performed well. And..."

Lin Cheng lowered his voice, his eyes shining:
"Will we have a chance to visit Jianfeng Peak? After all, Senior Brother Qin's words imply that we have done enough to deserve a visit."

Xie Yuan's eyes flashed, and he replied:
"Who knows? It would be best if we could go naturally."

He was not very eager to enter the inner sect or not; but if he could go to the Sword Peak to experience it, Xie Yuan would be very happy, or should be said, very much looking forward to it.

The next advancement of his Black Book of Heaven would require 500 points. Considering the trouble of going back and forth to the sword cave, and the fact that the progress of the Black Book of Heaven was slow to begin with, it was unknown how long it would take for him to break through.

If he could go to Jianfeng... he had never been there and didn't know what kind of wonder it was or what the effect was, but he thought it should be more effective than Jianxue!
I hope Brother Qin’s A-level evaluation can be of some use.

Xie Yuan and Lin Cheng had a hearty meal and returned to the sect. After they were full and satisfied, they instantly felt sleepy.

After all, even Xie Yuan felt tired after walking all this way, and now he can finally feel relieved.

He was the one who had borne the most and consumed the most in secret, especially in the head-on clashes with Roto and Lu Tianyong, which had already caused him serious injuries. And then he killed the two men and seized the treasures, which was like dancing on the edge of a knife, consuming a great deal of his mental and physical energy.

Fortunately, there are many treasures on the third floor, and the healing pills are very effective. It is not an exaggeration to say that many of them are holy medicines of the metamorphosis realm.

After Xie Yuan escaped, he quickly stopped his injuries with the help of top-notch healing drugs in the pharmacy. Although he was still weak, at least he could move around without any problems. He was slowly recovering and now he just needed to rest.

The biggest contributors to being able to withstand the attack of the Three Changes and not be seriously hurt in the end must be two things.

Firstly, his Sweeping Thousands of Troops skill was extremely powerful and it resisted most of the attacks from the two Third Transformation Realm cultivators. Secondly, his physique had been transformed by the Sky Blue Fruit and was as solid as a rock. He was also a person who had practiced hard skills and had the Golden Bell Cover on his body, which made him much more resistant than the average First Transformation Realm cultivators.

If there are other advantages, it is that his health-preserving skills are long-lasting, mellow and resilient, which can help him both resist and recover.

With the help of natural resources, magical skills and magic, Xie Yuan's shocking victory was not groundless.

Then, after saying goodbye to Lin Cheng and returning to the room, it was time to count the results of the battle.

After closing and bolting the door, Xie Yuan's eyes, which had been a little tired, suddenly brightened and he became more energetic.

When the bag was opened, there was not even a single thing in it, such as clothes, which were what a bag should have. Xie Yuan had thrown them away long ago to avoid them taking up space.

The bag was full of miraculous elixirs and rare treasures required for transformation.

The big-headed Blood Ganoderma is a top-level blood-replenishing treasure. Even if it is eaten raw, the effect is better than the Blood Dragon Pill, and it also helps with his transformed blood energy.

This one plant alone is a priceless treasure outside, and even Situ Qin would have to take a second look at it.

The roots of the 300-year-old mountain king ginseng are longer than the ginseng body, and the human shape is very obvious, and the left and right sides are completely symmetrical. This kind of appearance is worthy of the title of the king of mountain ginseng, and it has an outstanding effect of stimulating qi and blood, replenishing internal energy, and promoting internal strength.

The Vajra Pills are a secret battle medicine of Buddhism. It is said that the formula has been lost. Although it is still available in the Prajna Temple, it is not at the same level of effect as the Vajra Pills that have been passed down from ancient times. However, it is still treasured as a secret medicine.

After taking this pill, one's body will be as indestructible as a diamond, and as strong as a powerful god. Especially when paired with the Golden Bell Cover, it is not an exaggeration to double one's strength. It is said that the Buddhist monks in the past were particularly difficult to deal with, thanks to this medicine. The Eighteen Arhats set up a formation, and then took the Vajra Pill, and the Eighteen Arhats formation became the Eighteen Golden Bodhisattvas.

There is also a healing medicine like Xiaohuandan. After taking one pill, it has the triple effects of stabilizing injuries, restoring blood and energy, and replenishing internal breath. Severe injuries can be turned into minor injuries, and minor injuries can be turned into no injuries, and endurance can be greatly increased.

"Buddhist things are just hard!"

Xie Yuan looked at the bed covered with various precious medicines and smiled happily.

Not to mention the secret medicines that aided in combat, just the medicines that aided in cultivation were enough to make one's heart beat fast. The medicines placed on the bed could further speed up his cultivation speed, greatly shortening the time it took to advance to the second transformation of Qi and Blood.

And besides these...

Xie Yuan took out the seemingly ordinary sword, held it in his hand, and smiled.

As his mind flashed, the sword changed back and forth between the long sword, the large Xuanhua axe, the small axe for chopping wood and the disciple's sword, without any hindrance and extremely smoothly.

The more he used it, the more frequently his blood, energy and internal energy were infused into it, and the faster and more sensitively the changes in this mysterious weapon became. It could be said that it was becoming more and more like his shape.

It won't be long before Xie Yuan can completely hide from the sky with this extremely sharp and solid weapon. By then, his real combat power will be raised to a higher level.

The Tianyin Technique is indeed a top-notch secret technique, and it is the most advanced secret technique among all the secret techniques of the Bagua Lotus. It has infinite uses and is mysterious and unpredictable. Not only does it greatly enhance combat power during battle, but its effects outside of battle are no less than those during battle, and Xie Yuan benefits from it all the time.

"It all started with that Azure Fruit... I wonder how Miss Mu is doing now? My name has spread this time, will she hear about me too?"

Xie Yuan lay on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window. His consciousness gradually became dull and he fell into a dreamless sleep.

A battle for ruins between the Central Plains and the Western Regions in the Western Desert soon started from Yunzhou and Yanzhou and radiated to the entire Dali territory.

Li Xingtuo, the new sixth on the Flying Dragon List and leader of the Yunshan Sword Sect, fought against the top master from the Western Regions, the Mingwang of the Great Vajra Temple, and was not at a disadvantage at all!
Such explosive and encouraging news naturally spread quickly as if it had wings.

Warriors also value celebrity effects, and such gimmicks will naturally spark conversations among people on the streets.

If we talk about them in detail, the names of Qin Zhenyang, Huijue, Yuan Zhenying, Lu Tianyong, Luo Tuo, Qiu Ming and other strong men of the younger generation will pop up one after another.

However, this time, before all these names with deep backgrounds and long-standing fame, the name mentioned most often was another name that many people heard for the first time.

"Xie Yuan..."

From Tianjing to Jiangnan, wherever there were warriors, this name was constantly mentioned. Many well-informed storytellers had dug up all the stories about him killing the county lieutenant in the street, destroying the Vajra Sect, and even suppressing Panlong with just an axe. Suddenly, Xie Yuan seemed to have become a celebrity. If someone didn't know about him, they would definitely be scolded by their friends, saying, "You are too out of date."

Jinling Mansion, a very prosperous restaurant.

"Speaking of Xie Yuan, he was holding the Mysterious Hundred Transformations Weapon, standing firmly between Black Diamond Loto and Western Desert Mad Blade Lu Tianyong. With one hand behind his back, he blocked the two's special moves with one hand, and even shocked them so much that they vomited blood and flew backwards..."

The drinkers gathered around the storyteller, listening with great interest.

There was a table in the corner, where an ordinary-looking woman was sitting alone. She couldn't help but smile when she heard the storyteller's exaggeration.

"Xie Yuan... there must have been a lot of dangers this time, right? It's a pity that I couldn't be with you this time. Fortunately, with your abilities, you should be able to handle these without any problems."

The woman whispered to herself with a faint smile on her lips.

She sat quietly for a while, looking at the house in the distance, her eyes flashed slightly, then she stood up, paid the bill, left the restaurant, blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Yunshan, outer courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Xie Yuan was swinging his sword towards the rising sun, ignoring the many glances that were secretly directed at him, thinking to himself:

"I'm almost recovered, it's time to send some precious medicine to my stomach. Hey, which one should I take first? It's really a headache to have so many choices."

Suddenly, two disciples from the main peak came over and called out to him:
"Zhang Shan, come with us. The clan leader wants to see you."
