I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

In a secret place among the many rooms on the seventh floor, Xie Yuan was holding an ordinary-looking stone paperweight and tossing it in his hand.

This thing is no different from the most common paperweight in the market. It seems that the human race's aesthetic taste in this regard has not changed much in tens of millions of years. It is very reasonable for it to appear in this room of the Sutra Tower that looks like a study or a reading room.

But in the empty space, the only paperweight placed on the stone table seemed a bit abrupt, so as soon as Xie Yuan entered the room calculated by Wang Qishi, he clearly obtained this paperweight, which was also the core of the formation.

All the phantoms around disappeared, and the burning fire made the figure flash and appear in this room. Seeing Xie Yuan holding the stone paperweight and throwing it around, he immediately became furious.

It’s this person again!

She was wondering how someone could sneak into the formation and sneak in here. It turned out to be this rat-like thief. No wonder he had such ability.

Obviously, there was a huge gap between his strength and hers, but ever since their first encounter in the underground palace of Longdeng Temple, and also in the First Mountain not long ago, he had repeatedly escaped from her hands, causing her who had never tasted failure to suffer repeated setbacks. Not only did he come to ruin her plans again!
The burning man was so angry that fire almost spewed out of his eyes. Seeing Xie Yuan, he rushed to him without saying a word and punched Xie Yuan's head with a heavy punch!

This punch was really powerful. Even Wang Qiwen and Cui Lei would not be able to take it head-on, let alone Xie Yuan.

But with the core of the formation in his hand, Xie Yuan just laughed and suddenly split into seven figures, escaping in different directions.

The Seven-Star Illusion Formation can not only enhance the strength of the person who possesses the formation, but also strengthen the power of illusion, and can even temporarily replace the real with the fake. It is truly an ancient formation that is extremely wonderful and powerful.

The Fire Envoy chose the seventh floor as the final battlefield to block and kill the children of the noble families because she herself was also an expert in illusion.

In this formation, she was like a tiger with wings. In a short while, she could completely defeat the few remaining children from noble families, and then climb to the top without any obstacles.

That's the plan.

However, when Xie Yuan seized the formation, he, who had the Heavenly Illusion Technique at his disposal, suddenly felt something in his heart. If he used the formation and the Heavenly Illusion Technique here, the power he exerted would be the same as that of the Great Illusion Technique!

Then he flashed and changed into seven forms, and ran away in different directions, just like the previous few times when he faced the Fire Envoy.

However, this time, when the Fire Envoy looked around, he couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake. It seemed that all of them were Xie Yuan's real clones!
Her face changed. If she couldn't take back the formation, she would be in trouble facing the attack from several people behind her and trapped in the enemy's formation.

And she only has one subordinate left, she’s... in trouble!
The burning envoy's eyes narrowed and he dodged in an instant, trying to turn around to help his subordinates, when he heard a scream.

"what--"

She gritted her teeth and rushed towards the direction of the sound. She rushed into the room, only to see seven Xie Yuans sheathing their swords at the same time. Her only remaining subordinate was already at the end of his strength and was pierced through the heart by the sword, falling to the ground and dying.

The seven Xie Yuans shook off the blood at the same time like mirror images, looked up at the Fire Envoy together, and smiled faintly:

"I'll send you down to accompany him right away."

"Yao Tianchuan..."

The burning green eyes stared at Xie Yuan closely:

"You have repeatedly ruined my good deeds. You deserve to die."

"This is how our Yao family works."

Xie Yuan nodded repeatedly, but then shook his head with some regret:

"Forget it. You can't get out anyway. This won't help."

The Fire Envoy didn't quite understand what he said, but she didn't care. She just glanced at Xie Yuan coldly and suddenly said:
"No, you are not Yao Tianchuan."

"What? What nonsense are you talking about? I guarantee it's genuine."

Xie Yuan frowned as he listened to the rapidly approaching footsteps.

The Fire Envoy snorted:
"Humph, according to the information in the sect, a mere Yao Tianchuan is not enough to pose a threat to me. If you can ruin my plans so many times, it must not be him."

"...I think you have lost your mind."

Xie Yuan was somewhat speechless. The Fire Envoy's judgment was so arrogant and so unfounded, yet it was right.

Forget it, don't let her say it anymore.

However, the Fire Envoy did not seem to intend to say anything more. He looked at Xie Yuan with hatred in his eyes, clenched his fists, stepped on the ground barefoot, and with a bang, he flew over in an instant!

Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes, and the seven figures dispersed again, each running for their lives.

Ranhuo's body flashed and turned into three afterimages. He caught up with the three Xie Yuans and punched them each.

There were three loud bangs, and the three clones were all illusions, and they exploded into light smoke.

The purple-clothed woman's eyes remained unchanged, and she was about to chase the other four figures, but she saw that Xie Yuan did not retreat but advanced instead, turned around and thrust a sword towards her!
He still dares to attack me?
The fire master was furious. He gritted his teeth and punched forward. The sturdy ancient library seemed to be shaking slowly!
boom!
The two figures in front of him disappeared directly. The Fire Envoy sneered, turned around almost at the same time, swept out with his long legs, and a whip kick like a dragon's tail directly covered the last two figures behind him!
The Fire Envoy's physique was the best that Xie Yuan had ever seen. His entire body, fists, palms, legs, and feet were all indestructible weapons. The power of this whip kick was no less than that of a battle axe!

Bang!
The two figures disappeared almost at the same time, leaving only a sound. The seven phantoms of Xie Yuan, along with his real body, were all strangled by the Fire Envoy in less than three rounds!

However, the Fire Envoy's eyes suddenly changed, because in her feeling, these seven figures were all illusions!
Xie Yuan appeared behind her silently, and his long sword was like a poisonous snake that finally emerged from the darkness, quietly stabbing towards the back of the Fire Envoy!
The burning fire made my back suddenly feel cold, and I felt something inexplicably and got goose bumps.

She almost instinctively ducked down, and the long sword brushed past her bun. With a bang, the bun exploded and her curly hair fluttered wildly.

Even though she was determined as iron, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly. She was just a hair's breadth away from being pierced through the heart by a sword!
It turns out that all seven of this little thief are illusions. They use their own stealth and illusion skills to hide in the surroundings without being noticed at all!
The fire-burning master gritted his teeth, squatted down, and kicked back without hesitation, his body bent upwards almost bonelessly, performing an authentic scorpion tail swing. However, the tail of this female scorpion was not poisonous, but had infinite power. Xie Yuan watched a white and tender jade foot rapidly enlarge in front of his eyes, and even the air around it was sucked away.

too fast!
Xie Yuan was shocked by the fire envoy's quick reaction, but it was too late to think about it. He could only rely on his instinct to bend backwards and narrowly avoid the fatal kick.

It was clearly his fatal sword, but it almost turned into a fatal blow.

Xie Yuan broke out in a cold sweat and kicked off with both feet, flying backwards. Then his body swayed in the air, and seven figures appeared again, and his body disappeared into the air.

The fire-burner turned around and saw Xie Yuan filling the room again. He gritted his teeth.

No one knows whether these seven are all illusions, or one of them has a real owner?

This ancient formation combined with illusion is so powerful... It's obviously mine!
Xie Yuan did not give her any more chances to fight back. Seven figures with swords in hand rushed forward, surrounding the burning fire and attacking fiercely.

Ranhuoshi's face was solemn as she threw punch after punch, often with one or two punches a phantom was shattered; however, she was afraid that the real Xie Yuan was lurking nearby, but being a sensitive person, she was also afraid that there was a real person in this illusion, so she was very cautious and only exerted 50% to 60% of her strength.

She had never imagined that one day she would be so afraid of a warrior in the second transformation realm, and even afraid that he would find the right opportunity to kill her!
The door had been opened. Wang Qiwen, Cui Lei and others were standing outside the door, staring at the flying swords and fierce fists in the room, all of them stunned.

It seems...something is wrong?
Why did they see Yao Tianchuan playing the fire maker as soon as they came in?

It shouldn’t be like this!
Several people were suppressed by the Fire Master's phantom in the formation and were in a desperate situation. Just as they were about to retreat, they heard the Fire Master's angry shout over there. They knew that the formation was probably broken and it might be Yao Tianchuan's credit!

Although they were excited, they were afraid that Yao Tianchuan, who was only at the second level of transformation, would not be able to withstand a few moves against the angry Fire Envoy, so they all rushed over at full speed.

After all, even though Yao Tianchuan dealt with several demon cult minions in the third transformation realm, and escaped from the Fire Envoy twice, his cultivation level was there.

With his strength, if he encounters the Fire Envoy, he would be in danger and in imminent danger. He must be rescued quickly!
When they arrived, the facts were not what they had imagined.

This Yao Tianchuan not only broke the formation, but also seemed to have mastered it. His illusions were flying everywhere, making it impossible for the Burning Fire Envoy to break through!
The arrival of several people made Ranhuo Shi uncontrollably distracted. A phantom behind him had a gleam in his eyes and silently thrust a sword between the two selves in front of him.

The Fire Envoy suddenly turned around and looked at the sword that was like a dragon emerging from the sea. His expression turned grim, and he threw a punch that hit Xie Yuan's sword first.

Xie Yuan only felt a pain in his palm and almost lost his grip on the sword. Looking at the woman in front of him staring at him, he quietly retreated and disappeared into the dust.

Wang Qiwen and others were even more surprised. How could he actually find an opportunity to threaten this terrifying witch?

Several people were inspired and rushed into the room, forming a semicircle around the burning fire.
On one side were five people including Cui Wang, and on the other side were seven Xie Yuans.

Ranhuoshi's face was solemn and he looked around. It was the first time he looked ugly since entering the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain.

She took a deep breath and smiled viciously:
"Okay, it looks like I have to kill two before I can get out!"

Her eyes suddenly stared at Wang Qiwen and the others. She moved her feet, raised her fist, and attacked fiercely!

Several people raised their weapons as if they were facing a formidable enemy to block the attack; however, to their surprise, after this punch, the Ranhuo enemy did not advance but retreated, suddenly flew backwards and crashed into Xie Yuan's phantom formation!
Xie Yuan was about to stop him, but the Fire Envoy turned back again and rushed towards the Three Transformations master of the Taiyuan Li family!
The expert was slowed down by her continuous attacks. Just as he raised his hand, he was hit in the chest by a punch. He immediately vomited blood and flew backwards, dying on the spot!
Cui Lei and his men shouted angrily and pointed their swords repeatedly;
Ranhuo threw several punches to disperse the rain of swords, and he also groaned, then turned around and suddenly headed towards Xie Yuan!

No, she was heading towards the door behind!
Xie Yuan's illusions were stacked up to block his way, but the Fire Envoy threw another domineering punch, blasting them all away without hesitation;
The real Xie Yuan quietly extended a sword, but the Fire Envoy saw through it and slapped him with his palm, shouting coldly:
"roll!"

Xie Yuan's sword was bent directly. He took two steps back with great difficulty and grasped the weapon, but his palm was already cracked and blood was flowing out.

He was horrified in his heart. This witch had gone mad and was almost like a human-shaped monster!
"Oh no, she's trying to escape!"

Someone behind him said anxiously, and Xie Yuan was also startled.

Got it!

At this time, there were two people in the second transformation realm, Xie Lingyun and Wang Qishi, outside!
I'm afraid they are no match for the Fire Envoy!
Xie Yuan immediately chased out, but saw a purple shadow in front of him, rushing straight to the side!

Xie Lingyun and Wang Qishi were facing a formidable enemy in the distance, weapons in hand, their eyes fixed on the Fire Envoy who was rushing towards them.

However, when the fire-burning messenger was halfway through his rush, he suddenly turned and went up the stairs to the eighth floor.

The people who rushed outside and the two young ladies were stunned for a moment, and then Xie Yuan shouted:

"Chase!"

He took a wrong step and ran to the stairs, but hesitated for a moment.

Cui Lei passed by him like the wind, holding a long sword, and said:

"Let me go first!"

He rushed up first, followed by Wang Qiwen, and then Xie Wei and Lu Bingyi rushed up one after another.

Xie Yuan looked at the backs of the four people, took a deep breath and leaped up to the eighth floor.

The ambush that they were worried about did not appear at the stairs. They looked around and found that the eighth floor was still empty. Except for a few rooms, there was no trace of the Fire Envoy.

"Be careful, she might be hiding."

Wang Qiwen said cautiously.

Several people had serious expressions on their faces, standing back to back, searching everywhere.

Along the way, they were already scared by the Fire Master's elusiveness and killing skills. Even though the remaining four were geniuses among geniuses, they still had a shadow in their hearts when facing the Fire Master, the most terrifying enemy they had ever seen.

Xie Yuan frowned and looked around, then looked at the stairs and whispered:
"I reckon she's already gone up."

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, the Fire Envoy broke out, but did not flee downwards, instead she kept going upwards; and since she had come directly here before, it was obvious that there was something she wanted here.

And it is something that can overturn the situation once you get it.

The library tower is nine stories high, and the secret that the Fire Envoy wants is probably at the very top.

Several people looked at the stairs with serious expressions, slowly approached, and then looked up.

It was pitch black on the stairs, as if there was no light, and there were no windows like on other floors that could let in light.

I can't see the situation above clearly at all.

They looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy, and did not dare to delay any longer.

Wang Qiwen took a deep breath:

"This is the final battlefield. Everyone, let's charge in now and don't let the witch succeed!"

Several people nodded at the same time, and Wang Qiwen and Cui Lei walked up the stairs first, about to jump into the darkness.

Suddenly, the dark doorway seemed to light up with a layer of blue light, blocking the entrance like a door.

Wang Qiwen frowned and stretched out his sword to test it.

The long sword pierced the blue light curtain, as if it hit hard steel - no, even if it was steel, with Wang Qiwen's skills, he could pierce it with the sword in his hand, but this layer of light curtain did not move at all.

"What is this? A restriction? A formation?"

Cui Lei frowned, looking a little anxious:
"Why does this guy have so many tricks?"

"Well, go ahead and try and see if you can get in!"

At this time, the voice of the fire maker came from inside the light curtain.

Everyone couldn't see her figure, but they could vaguely feel that she was standing in the darkness behind the light curtain, looking down at them coldly:

"Just wait until I get what's here...all of you will die."

After that, everything became quiet, without any sound.

Several people looked at each other with serious expressions, and then they all activated their weapons to attack the light curtain.

However, no matter what moves they used, the light curtain did not react at all, as if it were the hardest door in the world.

In fact, the more powerful their moves were, the greater the recoil force was. After a few times, it was as if the moves were hitting themselves, making them grimace in horror.

"hateful!"

Cui Lei clapped his hands vigorously and gritted his teeth and said:

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch this witch doing evil things in there?"

Wang Qiwen frowned and said calmly:

"Brother Cui, don't worry. Let's think of a solution first."

"Don't worry? Didn't you hear what she said? If she comes out, we'll kill her all! Humph, I'm not afraid of her, but she rushed here as soon as she came. There must be some secret!"

Cui Lei gritted his teeth.

They all knew this. If the witch came down to fight them with real swords and guns, they might not be her match; but if she got help and became even stronger, it would be hard to say for them.

They quietly retreated down the stairs and started talking among themselves, but they couldn't come up with any useful solutions.

Wang Qishi and Xie Lingyun had already caught up and brought the news that the master of Taiyuan Li family had just died, which made everyone sad.

The two women looked up at the light curtain on the stairs, also at a loss. Although they were excellent, they were still young and their cultivation was still shallow, so it was difficult for them to play any role in this situation.

Xie Yuan had been thinking silently beside him. He knew that time was running out, and his mind was constantly turning:

"What kind of treasure is on it that could make a Saint Maiden candidate go through so much trouble to sneak into the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain and come all the way here?

"She is obviously very familiar with this place. Maybe there is a record of the Xuanshou Mountain Beast Taming Sect in the Zao Sect. This thing must be extremely valuable...

"But, since she cares so much and desires the things here so much, why doesn't she go straight here after coming up -

"She was heading here, but she kept ambushing the eight great families along the way, killing and wounding their men. Even just now in the Seven Star Illusion Formation, she would rather get injured than forcibly kill the Li family's men.

"If she really cares so much about this place, with her familiarity with the terrain and mechanisms, she can enter the sect, come here as quickly as possible without alerting anyone, then come up to open the restriction and hide inside to achieve her goal. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Is her main purpose to kill these geniuses? Taking the treasure is only secondary?

"But even if that's the case, the things on it can obviously strengthen her. After getting them, ambushing and killing her should be more efficient.

"In any case, she should have come here as soon as possible instead of deliberately ambushing and slowing down her pace."

Xie Yuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickering:
"Well, why doesn't she do it..."

When he thought of this, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he felt that he had the answer:

"Unless she has a reason to kill the people from the noble family before she can seize the treasure!
"Perhaps...it will take her some time to digest the treasures in here! And this period of time is enough for others to find this place and find her location.

“But this restriction is so powerful that it cannot be shaken by anyone below the Grandmaster level. It can protect her even if she is found.

"Or, she thought that if there were more people from the noble families, it would be possible to break this restriction! She had to reduce the number of noble family masters before she could escape safely! Just like just now, she had a reason to kill the man from the Li family first... or kill one person first!

"It is possible to open this restriction! Perhaps it has something to do with the number of people or the strength!"

Xie Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the restriction.

The blue light curtain quietly blocked the entrance, as if it was the most stable door in the world.

Even if experts work together, it seems unlikely that they can break it directly...

Maybe there is another way.

"Master Yao."

At this time, Wang Qishi walked over and called softly:
"Master Yao, do you have any ideas?"

At the same time, Xie Lingyun walked closer, raised her pretty face, and a hint of hope unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

The performances along the way made the two girls develop an inexplicable trust in Xie Yuan; even though this restriction made those elite geniuses who were just one step away from becoming grandmasters helpless, they felt that Xie Yuan might have a way.

Cui Lei, who was farther away, looked over here and sneered at Wang Qiwen:

"Brother Wang, it seems that your sister is about to be abducted by the boy from the Yao family."

Wang Qiwen frowned subconsciously:
"Brother Cui, please don't speak without thinking..."

"That's right. It's normal for young men and women to develop some feelings for each other when they share hardships. But she didn't ask you, her brother, about this difficult forbidden problem, but went to ask Brother Yao instead. Isn't her intention obvious?
"Although Shi is smart, she becomes as irrational as an ordinary little girl when she meets someone she likes. Yao Tianchuan is indeed a good swordsman, but can Qiufeng Tower Master teach him the ancient forbidden formation? I think..."

"I do have some ideas."

Xie Yuan nodded over there.

"……what?"

Cui Lei was halfway through his words when he suddenly choked and uttered a sound.

Everyone's eyes lit up, only Cui Lei was half-believing and half-doubting:
"Little bro, is this true? Don't brag in front of a pretty girl, or you'll miss out on important things."

Xie Yuan said calmly:
"I was just thinking..."

He quickly stated his speculation:
"So, I think maybe there is another mystery behind this restriction."

Everyone nodded.

"Mr. Yao is right."

"That's right. I was wondering why this witch was acting so mixed up. It turns out this is her purpose!"

Cui Lei pouted for a moment. Yao Tianchuan spoke very convincingly.

But he snorted and frowned:
"The speculation makes sense, so what should we do next? What should we do? How should we crack it?"

Xie Yuan shook his head:
"I haven't thought of it yet. Maybe the mystery is hidden outside the tower."

"Doesn't that mean I didn't say it?"

Cui Lei said impatiently, then a little anxiously:
"I can't wait any longer! I feel like this witch has already done something in there! Oh! What's the point of just talking? Find a way!" "I know."

Wang Qishi popped her head out from the next room at this time. Seeing that everyone turned their eyes away, she said excitedly:

"This is a five-element blockade! Come and see."

Everyone rushed into the room and followed Wang Qishi's instructions:

"I was just wondering, there were formations in front, but why there were none on the eighth floor. When Master Yao reminded me, I immediately came to see, and indeed I found a clue.

“These rooms are all part of the forbidden area, secretly matching the five elements and directions, and are the five elements sealing method recorded in ancient books.

"This method is hidden, but there is no other place in the tower, just these few rooms, so it can be seen at a glance. As long as you find the place, it won't be difficult to crack it.

"As long as the five restrictions are destroyed at the same time, the restrictions above will naturally be released!"

Cui Lei nodded repeatedly, smiling:

"I see! Shi is really smart!"

Wang Qishi glanced at him and straightened his hair:
"It's mainly due to Master Yao's contribution. If it weren't for his inspiration, I wouldn't have discovered this restriction."

"He is so quiet. He deserves credit for that."

Cui Lei reluctantly said, then immediately cheered up:

"In that case, let's break the ban now and rush forward to kill the witch! Well, there are seven of us, one, two, three, four... Five directions are more than enough!"

When he said this, he suddenly looked at Xie Yuan for a few times, then nodded vigorously:
"It's really thanks to you that you rushed up with the two girls, otherwise I'm afraid we really won't be able to break the five elements restriction today - there aren't enough people."

"It's your job."

Xie Yuan replied casually, and was about to go into the house and stand still, but he heard Wang Qishi hesitate and say:
"But... this restriction still cannot be broken."

"what?"

"I just saw this restriction. It requires a master's attack to break it."

Wang Qishi gritted his teeth:

"Five Grandmasters attack at the same time."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little heavy in their hearts.

Is this the restriction of the ancient immortal sect? After finding the right method, it actually requires five masters to attack at the same time to break it?

Wang Qiwen pondered for a moment and nodded:

"If it's just a Grandmaster's attack, I can deliver it."

"I can too!"

Cui Lei said urgently, then looked at the other two.

Xie Wei and Lu Bingyi both nodded. As the geniuses of a great clan, and having survived to this day, their strengths were unquestionable. They were the most dazzling geniuses in the outside world. However, they seemed a little dim in front of this terrifying Fire Envoy.

"Four, the last one..."

Several people looked at Xie Yuan and the other two, their hearts sinking.

All three of them were warriors at the second level of transformation, and they couldn't deliver a master's blow even if they flew into the sky.

"Can three people work together?"

Cui Lei asked anxiously.

Wang Qishi shook his head:
"Unless you practice, you're no better than one person."

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Cui Lei was so anxious that he was turning around in circles, like an ant on a hot pan.

Just when everyone was feeling a little hopeless, Xie Yuan nodded and said:
"Grandmaster's attack, I can try it too."

"what?"

"Brother Yao, is it true?"

Cui Lei was overjoyed, and he came over and shook Xie Yuan's shoulder:

"Brother Yao, you can't joke now! Are you serious?"

"real."

"Good! Good for you, brother Yao. When I get out, I will definitely come to Jinling to thank you!"

Cui Lei was overjoyed, patted Xie Yuan heavily, and then turned around:
"Without further ado, let's go!"

"No."

A gentle voice that made everyone feel heavy in their hearts rang out again.

Wang Qishi felt a little sad when she saw everyone looking at her again:
"This restriction is also special..."

"Shi girl! Sister Shi! Ancestor Shi! Stop breathing so hard, okay?"

Cui Lei wailed.

Wang Qishi shook his head:

"I didn't expect that Master Yao could still go up... but he couldn't. Because these five forbidden mechanisms, like the forbidden ones, will rebound.

"In other words, every time you send out a Grandmaster attack, you will also be hit back. Even if it's not all returned, at least 70% to 80% will be returned."

"If it's 70% to 80%, isn't it a way to save your life?"

Cui Lei nodded.

Wang Qiwen frowned:

"But, Master Yao..."

Everyone was moved. They were all at the peak of the Third Transformation Realm. If they were prepared and used all their means, they could also withstand the force of the recoil.

But it was already surprising that Yao Tianchuan had the ability to strike like a master, but could he, who was at the second level of transformation, have the shield to block my spear?
Several people looked at Xie Yuan, with some hope in their eyes.

He had given them too many surprises, and they subconsciously expected Xie Yuan to nod again.

But this time, Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment and shook his head:

"It's a little tricky."

He could use his sweeping power to break the mechanism, but the recoil force might cost him his life.

Everyone was immediately disappointed, and the gloomy atmosphere descended upon them again.

Time passed bit by bit, and the Fire Messenger was doing something unknown, getting closer and closer to her goal, while everyone was still at a loss.

Although several people had the idea of ​​thanking Yuan Nu for his efforts and everyone burning incense for him next year...it was just a thought. No one would sacrifice themselves to break the ban, not even they themselves would.

Xie Yuan felt the discouragement of the crowd and closed his eyes slightly.

He thought for a while, then opened his eyes again and said:

"I have an idea."

"Brother Yao, you are so righteous! From now on, your father is my father, and your mother is my mother... oh?"

Cui Lei didn't know what he was thinking and answered subconsciously, then he realized that he didn't seem to be saying to sacrifice himself.

Xie Yuan was somewhat speechless. This guy knew that he was going to Qiufeng Tower. Obviously, he knew something about the Yao family. He must have known that Yao Tianchuan had lost his parents a long time ago...

Under everyone's bright eyes, he hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'm going to go out for a while. When I come back, I should be able to deal with this problem."

"What? Go out now? How long will you be gone?"

Several people were a little confused.

"It won't take long, one night at most."

Xie Yuan replied:
"According to my guess, the witch won't succeed so quickly. She should have enough time."

It was already dark. He looked outside and clasped his fists:
"See you tomorrow morning, everyone!"

Several people looked at each other, wondering what he was up to.

You won’t run away, right?
But the entire ruins have been blocked, where can he run?
Several people were a little confused, but when they saw Xie Yuan was about to turn around, he thought for a moment and turned back and said:

"Miss Xie, please come with me."

Everyone turned their eyes to Xie Lingyun again.

"what?"

Xie Lingyun was stunned for a moment, glanced at the people around him, but didn't ask any more questions:
"Row."

The two of them went downstairs quickly together.

Wang Qishi looked at the two people's backs, tilted his head, and wondered what he was thinking.

"What's your plan?"

Xie Lingyun looked at Xie Yuan and asked in a low voice.

Xie Yuan walked out of the nine-story Sutra Tower, turned his head back, looked up at the top floor, and said:

“There is no plan.

"I am preparing to break through the third transformation realm."

"what?"

Xie Lingyun stopped immediately and frowned:
"what are you saying?"

"Break through the third level. My current cultivation is not enough to withstand the recoil. My spear is too sharp and my shield is not strong enough. If I break through the third level, my cultivation and physique will be improved, plus... my skills, I should be able to withstand the recoil that has been weakened by two points."

Xie Yuan replied, but he must take some medicine, and he still has two pills of Feng Chi Runfu Dan.

Xie Lingyun's delicate brows knitted tightly:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Xie Yuan glanced at the pretty girl who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

It can be seen that she seems to be trying very hard to hold it in... If it was when we first met, she might have just started to scold me.

"There is nothing wrong with what you said. This can indeed solve the problem of recoil injuries - provided that you can really break through to the third level of transformation."

Xie Lingyun stared at Xie Yuan closely, with a ridiculous look in her eyes:

"But can you break through the realm of cultivation just by saying so? Even if you are fast, it will take at least several days to adjust your breathing and prepare, and find the opportunity to break through in one fell swoop. At least three to five days, at most more than ten days, and I am still optimistic. Is the opportunity for breakthrough so easy to find? But how could that witch wait for you for so long!

"Moreover, if you want to break through, you must at least spend some time in the Second Transformation Stage when your blood and energy are fully mature, right? Forcing a breakthrough will not only affect your path, but it will also have an impact on your path... I feel like you are not ready yet."

Xie Yuan smiled after hearing the last part:
"Why worry about the future now? We can't even say if there will be a tomorrow."

"But you can't just break through just because you say so. This suggestion is too absurd. It's simply a fantasy for you to break through overnight. Besides, your blood energy hasn't even reached that level yet. Let's go back and think of a countermeasure."

After Xie Lingyun finished speaking, she was about to turn around and go back to the nine-story tower, but Xie Yuan grabbed her arm.

Seeing her turn around, Xie Yuan shook the jade bracelet on his hand, and pure blood flowed inside:
"You can't get out, but the effect of refining blood and qi is still there. All the prey in here are your prey, so you can use them now."

Xie Lingyun was in a trance for a moment. It felt like just two days ago when she was fighting with this guy, she wanted to tear him into pieces, but now the situation has changed so quickly;
She shook her head slightly, her expression even more serious:

"Yao Tianchuan, how long will it take you to refine your blood and energy? Not to mention a breakthrough, it's really wishful thinking. No, we can't waste this time, we have to go back immediately..."

"What else can we do to go back?"

Xie Yuan shook his head and asked seriously.

Xie Lingyun was stunned for a moment and sighed:
"But, after all, it's not a good idea to try your luck like this."

"Trust me, I'm sure."

Xie Yuan looked ahead.

[Golden Bell Cover·Fifth Level: (9873/10000)]

There is still a little over a hundred left.

According to the usual progress of cultivation, it will take at least ten days to make a breakthrough.

Even with the addition of pills, it will take at least three to five days.

But he now has a large amount of pure monster blood.

If you absorb it completely, you will definitely be able to achieve perfection.

For Xie Yuan, the breakthrough comes after the completion of his practice. The opportunity will come naturally without him having to look for it.

Xie Yuan looked at Xie Lingyun again:

"Ms. Xie, I believe you, so please believe me too. This is our last resort."

"You...believe me?"

Xie Lingyun was a little confused.

"Yes. I thought about it. This place is mysterious. I still need someone to protect me. But I don't trust other people. Only Miss Xie, I think you should be able to protect my safety."

Xie Yuan said sincerely.

Although he did not trust Xie Lingyun 100%, from his observations along the way, he felt that this young lady had good character and was trustworthy.

In fact, Wang Qishi was also okay. Both of them owed him their lives and he didn't seem to be the kind of person who would go unrequited. But compared to Wang Qishi, he had been with Xie Lingyun for a little longer, and from observing her along the way, he felt a little closer to her and trusted her more.

Xie Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked:
"More trusted than Wang Qishi?"

"Ms. Wang is a good person, but I think that in comparison, I would rather ask Miss Xie to protect me."

Xie Yuan nodded.

Xie Lingyun nodded immediately after hearing this:

"Okay, no problem, let's go, where to?"

"…Are you so straightforward again?"

Xie Yuan was speechless for a moment.

"Since you believe in me, I should believe in you too."

Xie Lingyun looked at him deeply, her eyes flickering, and then she stepped forward and said:

"Don't worry, I will protect you well."

The two walked for a while and found a place that seemed to be the disciples' residence.

Xie Yuan opened a door at random and observed that there was nothing inside except the bed. It was very clean and dust-free. He nodded:

"This is it."

Without further ado, Xie Yuan was about to start when Xie Lingyun suddenly blocked the door.

Xie Yuan looked over and saw Xie Lingyun's expression change. Then he took a deep breath and said:
"Yao Tianchuan, since you trust me and ask me to protect you, you can rest assured that I will definitely live up to your trust and will not disturb your breakthrough no matter what happens.

"But you must succeed! If you come out and are still in the second transformation realm, or if you wait for several days before coming out, I will definitely not let you go!"

Xie Lingyun stared into his eyes and saw him nod seriously:
"rest assured."

Xie Lingyun nodded, paused, and then gently closed the door.

Bang.

The wooden door separated the inside and the outside, and Xie Lingyun could no longer see clearly what was happening to Xie Yuan inside.

She was silent for a moment and whispered:
"I wish you great success."

Afterwards, Xie Lingyun turned around, sat cross-legged in front of the door, holding a sword, and waited quietly.

Inside the door.

Xie Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, took off the jade bracelet, and held it in front of his chest with both hands.

If it were someone else, how could it be so easy to break through the third level of transformation?
Even if one's blood and energy have already been perfected, countless people have practiced hard for a lifetime and still have not found a way to break through.

What's more, Xie Yuan's blood energy has not yet reached perfection, yet he is talking nonsense about breaking through overnight. No wonder Xie Lingyun thinks he is ridiculous.

Even if they are the geniuses from aristocratic families, who have the best resources for cultivation and top-notch talents, they dare not just talk about a breakthrough.

But Xie Yuan is naturally different.

He held the jade bracelet in both hands, quietly feeling the pure and vast energy inside, took a deep breath, and began to regulate his breathing.

"Qi and blood third transformation realm, here I come." (End of this chapter)
