A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 435 Iron Law
After Zhu He disappeared from the secret room, Duan Rong was still standing there in a daze, staring blankly at the Dew Drinking Cicada in his hand.

"Seed word?! The origin of the Heavenly Dao?!"

According to Zhu He, this dew-drinking cicada can spit out dew three times, which means that he can use this cicada to exert the power of the law three times.

The power of laws is a power that only the powerful ones in the Cave and Netherworld can wield!

From this point alone, one can imagine how precious and rare this dew-drinking cicada is.

What's more, the cicada body was personally refined by the sect's ancestor. Duan Rong guessed that even if Zhu He had two or three at most, he would probably have only this one. And there was a high possibility that he only had this one.

So, here comes the question!

If Zhu He only had a Dew Drinking Cicada in his hand, why would he give it to him?

Duan Rong's eyes were deep and shining.

He did show some talent, and his original idea was that it would be great if he could trick Zhu He into giving him a few bottles of high-level beast bone marrow.

But Zhu He gave him such a precious gift, which really surprised him.

Because this doesn't make sense!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Duan Rong thought that he had a somewhat extraordinary talent, but no matter how extraordinary his talent was, if he put himself in Zhu He's shoes and thought from his perspective, he would never let Zhu He give him such a precious treasure as the Dew Drinking Cicada.

"Unless... this old man has other intentions?!" Duan Rong's eyes narrowed as he thought to himself.

He had experienced Zhu He's style before.

He was transferred to Shenyun Mansion to handle a case, and he was tricked without making a sound.

This old man is like a chess master, thinking a lot and making every move carefully, without any wasted moves.

He must have had some back-up plan for giving me such a precious treasure.

However, Duan Rong knew that it was useless for him to think about this matter now, just like the matter of transferring him to Shenyun Mansion. Until he walked into the Dragon Fish Hall, he would never be able to figure out what Zhu He's back-up plan was.

"Since you can't figure it out, let's just take it one step at a time."

It’s not that Duan Rong is willing to be a pawn, it’s just that this old man’s skills are too profound and difficult to guess.

However, even if this old man really has a backup plan, the fact that he was able to give him such a precious treasure already shows his importance.

and many more!

Duan Rong's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly remembered what Zhu He said.

"When you are in danger, just a thought will make it spit out dew and protect you three times with the power of the law!"

Zhu He's words flashed through Duan Rong's mind again.

"Danger? Protection?"

"Will I be in danger?"

Duan Rong didn't think that the slight threat posed by Lu Qingzhu required the use of the power of laws to protect him!

This dew-drinking cicada is obviously not meant to defend against Lu Qingzhu!

"There won't be a strong man from the Cavernous Realm who wants to kill me, right?!"

Duan Rong suddenly thought of a question that made him shudder.

Moreover, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case.

Otherwise, why would Zhu He give him the Dew-Drinking Cicada?
"I don't think I've ever offended a strong man in the Cavernous Realm?"

Even when handling a case in Shenyun Mansion, Duan Rong controlled the degree well, trying not to break the window paper and get involved in the open and secret struggles between the two forces.

Instead, advance when you should advance and stop when you should stop.

And now he is at least the direct disciple of the sect elder, who would kill him?

Duan Rong was thinking this, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he said to himself: "Unless... in that old man's chess game, a strong man from the Cave Netherworld Realm wants to kill me next!"

"Is that so?"

Duan Rong couldn't be sure, but he could still feel an inexplicable sense of crisis, as if there was a sharp sword hanging above his head, ready to fall at any time.

For the next ten days, he did nothing but stayed in the secret room, using his essence and blood to refine the Dew-Drinking Cicada.

Ten days later, Duan Rong looked at the dew-drinking cicada floating in front of him.

He was soaked in essence and blood every day, and at this moment the Dew-Drinking Cicada was glowing with a faint bloody glow.

More importantly, there was a faint connection between the Dew-Drinking Cicada and Duan Rong's soul.

Duan Rong's mind moved, and the dew-drinking cicada suddenly became like a living thing, turning into a streak of blood and drilling into Duan Rong's sleeves.

He exhaled a breath and stood up, but his steps staggered slightly.

For the past ten days, Duan Rong has been in the secret room, refining this thing. Not only has he not eaten or drunk anything, but his body has also become a little stiff from sitting.

Duan Rong walked out of his own secret training room slowly, but just happened to see Fan Hongjiao walking towards him from the statue of Acalanatha.

Fan Hongjiao was originally going to her own secret room for training, but when she saw Duan Rong's appearance, she saw that his lips were cracked and his steps were unsteady, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind. He was no longer as vigorous as he used to be.

"Junior brother, what happened to you? You look as if a female ghost has sucked your energy away!"

Duan Rong smiled bitterly, licked his cracked lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, Senior Sister. I haven't eaten for a few days. I'll be fine after eating something."

"How many days have you not eaten?" Fan Hongjiao looked at Duan Rong suspiciously and asked, "What are you doing in the secret room? You haven't eaten for several days."

Duan Rong said: "I didn't do anything. I was just trying to figure out the technique."

Duan Rong evaded the question and walked out.

Fan Hongjiao looked at his back, eyes flickering, and said to himself: "No wonder Junior Brother can comprehend the artistic conception at the Yuanqi Realm. To be able to explore the technique without eating or drinking for several days, he must be a hard-working practitioner!"

Duan Rong returned to his room in the pavilion and ordered a table of food. He swept it all away like a whirlwind, leaving no soup or water behind.

Then she touched her round belly, lay down on the bed, and had a comfortable sleep.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

Duan Rong got off the bed, without washing up, and just sat in front of the desk in a daze for a long time without moving.

He didn't know if it was because of his encounter with Lu Qingzhu in the dark forest, but he kept thinking of Xiao Yu these days.

In his dream last night, he kept dreaming that Xiao Yu was looking at him with a smile, sometimes serving him food, and sometimes taking him for a walk in the garden.

When he woke up, he felt a little lost.

Duan Rong sat there for a long time, then suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.

In the endless mountains, in a valley somewhere in Tiefeng Mountain.

Towers built of blue bricks, like bunkers, are scattered throughout the dense forest.

At the edge of the valley, a figure suddenly came walking alone. It was Duan Rong!
As Duan Rong reached the edge of the dense forest, three extremely powerful spiritual senses crossed over his body.

Before he came here, he had already asked Fan Hongjiao about Tallinn.

Fan Hongjiao told him that anyone who entered the pagoda forest would never be allowed to leave the pagoda forest unless he achieved the great perfection of the true qi realm.

After all, in Tallinn, the sect has invested a lot of resources in you.

Those resources are not given for free!

This rule was set to push everyone into a desperate situation. In this way, many people actually broke through during this time of depression and despair.

The sect also saw this method as effective, so it was passed down.

Of course, there is a price to pay, and that is the countless bones of people trapped and dying in Tallinn.

Duan Rong was really worried about Xiao Yu. He wondered if she could get out of Tallinn, so he wanted to come and see her.

But when those three intersecting spiritual senses swept over him just now, Duan Rong knew that he couldn't even get into the valley, let alone the tower forest.

Duan Rong hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward slowly.

He was about to step into the dense forest in the valley, but suddenly a dark shadow flashed out from somewhere in the forest and blocked his way. It was a middle-aged man with a square face and a sallow complexion. He glared at Duan Rong and shouted, "Where did you come from, you rascal? You dare to break into Tiefeng Mountain with your eyes closed! This is a forbidden area! Get out of here!"

When Duan Rong saw the man, he said, "Senior, I am not barging in. I know this is Tallinn."

The middle-aged man's expression became even colder, and he shouted, "How dare you barge in if you know this? Which peak are you from?"

Duan Rong said: "Senior, I am from Yunfu Peak."

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, but he said nothing more.

Duan Rong begged, "Senior, my wife is in Tallin, I just want to go in and take a look and give her some words. Can you please help me?"

When the man heard this, his face turned pale and he said, "No!"

"Don't even mention your wife! Even if your mother is in there, you can't leave the pagoda forest until you achieve the Great Perfection of the True Qi Realm. This is the iron rule of the sect!"

"Retreat quickly, don't rush in recklessly! Otherwise, our fists and feet will not have eyes!"

After the man finished speaking, he disappeared from Duan Rong's sight in a flash.

So fast! Duan Rong speculated that this person should be a warrior in the Cyclone Realm.

He stood there for a while, and the three powerful spiritual senses kept locking onto him.

Duan Rong sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of drums beating in the dense forest.

That's the drumbeat for assembly!
Then Duan Rong saw a vague figure moving through the dense forest.

He knew that among those figures, one must be Xiao Yu.

Duan Rong suddenly moved and tried to rush into the forest.

But just as he was about to jump in, he felt a powerful kick on his chest. In an instant, Duan Rong flew backwards and landed on a large bluestone outside the valley, causing stone chips to fly all over the bluestone.

Duan Rong jumped up on the big bluestone, but saw no human figure around him.

He didn't even get to touch the edge of the clothes of the person who had just attacked him before he was kicked out.

There was a small bruise on the right cheekbone of Duan Rong's face, which was caused by hitting a sharp corner or hard part of the bluestone.

He sighed and left the place feeling a little depressed.

The outskirts of Tallinn were heavily guarded and guarded by experts, so it was obviously impossible for him to break in.

With so many masters here, no one can escape from Tallinn.

Die of being trapped!
How is this different from going to jail?
Duan Rong sighed in his heart as he moved forward and backward like a mandrill or a monkey, and soon he climbed to the top of a hill somewhere!
Duan Rong stood on the top of the mountain and looked around. He could just see the open space in front of the tower forest in the valley. It was full of people.

But the distance was too far, and everyone looked like black dots, so he couldn't tell which one was Xiao Yu.

Duan Rong stood on the top of the hill and watched for a long time until the crowd dispersed.

Gazing from afar, the open space in the valley was empty, so he walked down the hill in a depressed mood.

Duan Rong went down the mountain and continued to move towards the valley.

However, this time he did not approach the dense forest, but turned around and headed towards the nearby valley.

Duan Rong was going to the training camp not far from the valley.

Yao Che, Talin's teacher, had taken him to that place once.

Duan Rong explored in that direction based on his memory.

Soon, he saw an open space in the distance from a high place.

The open space was randomly filled with wooden houses of various sizes, as well as a few tents that were already somewhat old in color.

Duan Rong determined the direction and immediately moved forward.

Soon, they arrived in front of the training camp. There was no one guarding the place and people could enter and exit freely.

Duan Rong walked in. Seeing that he looked unfamiliar, some people asked him what he was doing. Duan Rong pointed to the southeast corner of the training camp and said that he was looking for Instructor Yao Che.

When those people saw that he called out Yao Che's name and pointed to the place where Yao Che lived, they thought he was an acquaintance of Yao Che and stopped pestering him.

Duan Rong came to a wooden house in the southeast corner. He looked at the simple wooden house in front of him and felt a little hesitant.

He remembered that Yao Che lived in the southeast corner, but he was not sure which wooden house it was.

At this moment, a man with bare chest suddenly walked out of the wooden house, holding a wooden basin, and poured the dirty water outside the house.

Duan Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Teacher Yao!"

Yao Che was slightly startled, turned his head and saw a well-dressed young man walking towards him.

"Duan Rong?"

Duan Rong smiled and said, "Teacher Yao still remembers me!"

Although half a year had passed, Duan Rong defeated the baboon family as soon as he entered Tallinn, which still left a deep impression on Yao Che.

Later, I heard that Duan Rong entered Yunfu Peak and became Zhu He's direct disciple.

"Come in and sit down." Yao Che chuckled and walked into the house.

Duan Rong followed in immediately.

Yao Che put down the empty wooden basin in his hand, passed clothes to Duan Rong, pointed to a wooden chair and asked him to sit down.

Duan Rong sat over there.

Yao Che fastened his shirt, looked at Duan Rong, and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you back to Tallinn again?"

Duan Rong said, "Master Yao, I want to ask you about the current situation of a person in Tallinn?"

Yao Che asked, "One person? Who?"

"Xiao Yu!"

About half an incense stick of time later, Duan Rong walked out of Yao Che's wooden house in a depressed mood.

It was pretty much what he expected. Half a year had passed, and Xiao Yu had not yet broken through to the third level of the Qi Realm. And Yao Che had just said in the cabin that based on his years of teaching experience, Xiao Yu's chances of achieving great perfection and leaving the tower were slim.

Duan Rong was walking with his head down, sighing, and almost bumped into someone.

Duan Rong suddenly saw a pair of feet on the ground in front of him and stopped immediately. Before he looked up, he heard a hearty laugh.

"Brother Duan, how are you?"

Duan Rong looked up and saw a familiar smiling face. He asked in surprise, "Liu Shushan!? When did you come out of Tallinn?"

Liu Shushan said: "It just came out a few days ago."

Duan Rong glanced behind Liu Shushan and saw the tent he had lived in. It seemed that he had walked to the tent without realizing it and ran into Liu Shushan.

Liu Shushan looked at Duan Rong and asked, "Brother Duan, I saw that you were in a bad mood just now. I wonder why you were so sad?"

Duan Rong did not answer, but grabbed Liu Shushan and said, "Come on, I'll take you to have a drink. We can talk while we eat and drink."

The two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. How could they not be enthusiastic when they met as old friends?

"Drinking?!" Liu Shushan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the word "drinking". For more than half a year, he hadn't even smelled the smell of alcohol.

But he was always cautious, so he hesitated and said, "The instructor asked me to wait in the tent. Can I run away?"

Duan Rong had experienced this before and knew what was going on, so he said, "It's okay. Just go to the courtyard under Cuiwei Peak on time on the day of the Taiyi Pavilion worship."

"Really?" There was still a hint of doubt in Liu Shushan's tone.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he said, "Then let's do this. Go tell Instructor Yao, and then we'll go out. This way, nothing will happen."

Liu Shushan smiled and said, "This is naturally the best."

"Let's go!"

Duan Rong immediately pulled Liu Shushan towards Yao Che's wooden house.
