On this day, Shen Lian released Dahei as usual to communicate with his tribesmen and check the surrounding environment.

After Dahei came back, he reported the situation again.

This was the fifth time that Dahei said that his people were eaten.

The common black-horned ant can be crushed to death with just a light kick. It can be said that it has too many natural enemies.

The reason why Dahei is not allowed to appear outside is that people are afraid that someone will see the black-horned queen ants all over the ground and associate them with Dahei.

But if the demonized ants are released, people passing by in the city are all cultivators and they can be spotted with just a little attention, which would make it even more unsafe.

"First tell your tribe to reduce their range to one block and then have them form groups of several to cover and scout for each other when looking for food."

After thinking about it, Shen Lian asked the black-horned ants to retreat first. Although his spiritual power was strong, they were in the Immortal City. Releasing his spiritual power unscrupulously would inevitably attract the attention of the Immortal City Lord.

There are too many possibilities for the black-horned ants to be eaten. They could be eaten by the spiritual pets raised by the monks or by their natural enemies.

…

The Inland Sea of ​​​​Ten Thousand Stars.

Over the vast ocean, there were bursts of crane calls. The Ice Cranes spread their wings, leaving behind a trail of ice chips in the air, which fell into the water and froze the sea.

On the Ice Spirit Crane, Qi Yuhuan was wearing a white robe, with sword energy flowing through her body, her eyes fixed on the figure with flaming wings in front of her.

With a light clap of his hands, all the ice in the sky gathered into a shape, turning into a stream of ice sword that pierced through.

"Protect!"

Spiritual power surged out of Bian Qingyun's body, continuously supporting the flaming wings behind him, carrying himself towards the distance.

Feeling the icy sword energy coming from behind, he slapped his dantian without hesitation.

“Buzz!”

With a buzzing sound, a golden light spread out from his dantian and turned into a phantom that enveloped him.

But the attacking ice sword was like a swimming dragon, slashing down at Bian Qingyun's body.

“Crack!”

A series of explosions sounded, and red, gold and white light intertwined together. Although the shield derived from Bian Qingyun's body blocked the icy sword energy, it was also shattered into pieces.

Even the red fire feathers that emerged from its back began to crack.

When Bian Qingyun saw this, he thought something was wrong.

This has been his means of preserving his life over the years, and after forming the golden elixir, it has been imprinted in his golden elixir and has become his first great supernatural power.

It is precisely because of this magical power that he can repeatedly escape pursuit.

However, because his golden elixir had been severely damaged before, it had not recovered yet and he could only rely on casting spells to condense the fire feathers.

"Qi Yuhuan, if you really want to fight me to the death, aren't you afraid that I will drag you to death with me?"

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Bian Qingyun's eyes.

This bitch has no moral integrity.

Not only did they hunt him down, they even asked for external assistance and asked the Wanxinghai sect to help search for his whereabouts.

As a Yuanying disciple and a Jindan Zhenren, Qi Yuhuan has many secret techniques at his disposal and can no longer avoid being hunted down by simply changing his appearance.

High-level cultivators recognize people by relying on the fluctuations of spiritual power and soul. As long as they lock onto your aura, no matter how you change, you will not be able to escape tracking.

Otherwise, with his own means, how could he be caught up?

"Just you?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Qi Yuhuan's eyes. Bian Qingyun had wanted to fight her to the death too many times, and every time he was just bluffing, just like his teacher.

A fair white palm suddenly grabbed forward, and the spiritual power immediately turned into an illusory sword wave, surging forward.

Facing the attack, Bian Qingyun did not dare to stop at all. As his sleeves fluttered, a talisman with blue ripples flashed out and was thrown towards the back.

This was borrowed from a foundation-building family that he accidentally entered while wandering around in the Ten Thousand Star Sea.

There were some minor frictions along the way, and the family finally acquiesced to his taking away the ancestral talismans.

A blue spiritual light flashed, and it transformed into a ferocious sea beast, spitting towards the rolling sword waves, and the two sides exploded in the air when they collided.

However, the talisman did not allow Bian Qingyun to increase the distance to escape, and the figure behind him still followed him.

"Stinky...Fellow Daoist Qi, what do you want?"

Bian Qingyun opened his mouth and his voice echoed in the void.

"Your master has already been beaten to Nascent Soul form by me, aren't you still not satisfied?"

As Bian Qingyun spoke, he frowned and thought about how to get out of this situation. If he continued like this, the golden elixir that he had recovered with great difficulty would collapse again.

He could no longer withstand the severe blow of his dan being cracked again.

This sea area is too poor. He searched hundreds of families in a row but failed to find any elixirs for healing.

If the pill cracked, he wouldn't know where to collect the elixir to make up for it.

"If you want to get the whereabouts of my master from me, then don't be delusional. I don't know the whereabouts of my master either."

"If you come back with me, I will spare your life."

At this time, Qi Yuhuan's voice shrank into a thin line and entered Bian Qingyun's ears.

"Go back with you?"

Bian Qingyun's expression froze.

Dream on.

He knew the reason without having to think.

His master was stirring up trouble and stealing spiritual objects everywhere. He must be planning something. Although he didn't know what he was planning specifically, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage might be able to see the clues.

Qi Yuhuan had come up to kill me before, but now he wanted to capture me back.

Obviously something went wrong.

The master's plan has been discovered by someone.

But he really didn't know what his master was planning.

If he was caught and his soul was searched by the Yuanying Ancestor, he would be crippled even if he didn't die. Moreover, Bian Qingyun didn't think he could survive after being tortured.

By then, he might become a puppet.

“Buzz!”

At this moment, loud sword chants resounded between heaven and earth.

Qi Yuhuan, who was on the Ice Spirit Crane, had white ripples all over her body.

The ripples were derived from the golden elixir in the dantian. The golden elixir engraved with a sword pattern trembled slightly, and countless lights and shadows gathered together, instantly transforming into transparent sword qi that broke through the air.

It quickly expanded and turned into a rolling ocean of sword energy, which descended upon Bian Qingyun at lightning speed.

"ah……"

Bian Qingyun screamed while running. The moment the sword wave formed, his sea of ​​consciousness was also impacted, and his whole body was sealed by ice chips. Even a layer of ice crystals appeared outside his flaming wings.

"burst!"

He put his hands together, and when he opened them again, crackling thunder sounded, breaking the ice around him.

But the sword wave attacking from behind also hit him from behind, and Bian Qingyun was blasted down from the sky and crashed into the surging ocean.

Chirp.

The Ice Crane spread its wings and flew over, breaking through the waves on the sea surface. Qi Yuhuan frowned.

He ran away again! "His golden elixir cracked."

"Chase!"

Qi Yuhuan lightly tapped Linghe. Her master had sent a message to her, asking her to capture Bian Qingyun alive, so she stopped at the last moment of her alchemy magic.

Otherwise, Bian Qingyun estimated that he would be cut in half by the sword energy.

But in this state, he was still able to escape, worthy of being the only living disciple of the old demon Zi Yang.

One day later.

The spiritual crane stepped on the waves. Qi Yuhuan frowned. After chasing for a whole day, she found that Bian Qingyun had escaped far away and the atmosphere around him became chaotic.

She took out a jade talisman.

"Fellow Daoist Fu Hai, please mobilize your monks to continue searching for Bian Qingyun's whereabouts."

…

"This person's golden elixir has collapsed and urgently needs high-level spiritual medicine to repair it. He will definitely go to various immortal cities to search for spiritual medicine..."

…

Xuanhai Sect.

Under the sunlight, a light shield like white jade and colored glaze enveloped the sect’s headquarters.

The mountain peaks are shrouded in white spiritual mist, waterfalls are cascading down between the mountains, and palaces are suspended in the air.

In the deepest part of the sect, outside a spirit pond, a stone palace stands.

Master Fu Hai put down the jade talisman in his hand.

Not long after, the leader of Xuanhai Sect, Zhenhai Zhenren, flew over.

"Master."

"Just now, Xuanyin Sect's Yueyin Zhenjun's disciple sent me a message, asking us to continue tracking down Bian Qingyun's whereabouts."

"Yan Bian Qingyun's golden elixir has been shattered by him and he is in urgent need of spiritual medicine to repair it. He will definitely find ways to obtain high-level spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines."

Zhenhai Zhenren nodded. "I will send a message to my family and the major immortal cities later, and I will report back as soon as I have any news."

"How's the battle going?" asked Master Fu Hai.

"It has been maintained. The key still depends on the attitude of the Yunshang Sect." Zhenhai Zhenren sighed, with suppressed anger flashing in his eyes.

"Master, why don't we contact them? We have helped them watch over the Xuanshi Sect for so many years. Even if we have no credit, we have worked hard. We should give them some benefits."

"no."

Master Fu Hai shook his head, "We don't even know who they are, so it's better not to cause trouble. The one occupying this sea area could be my Xuan Hai Sect or other sects. In their eyes, it doesn't matter who looks at the Xuan Shi Sect. Do you understand?"

"The farce of the Sky-Suppressing Alliance should also come to an end. As for the Yunshang Sect, I will give them the result they want."

"The future of my Xuanhai Sect, the first generation of Nascent Soul Patriarch, lies in you. It is impossible for me to form a Nascent Soul."

“Bian Qingyun must look carefully. If he can establish a good relationship with the disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun, it will be of great benefit to our Xuanhai Sect.

Besides, I see that Fellow Daoist Qi has quite a bit of talent and may be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Remember, just look for Bian Qingyun's whereabouts. We have no right to interfere in other matters. Just pass on the message and don't take any action."

"Also, if the Yunshang Sect sends a message, we must also look for news about Bian Qingyun and inform them of the same news."

…

There is no time limit for cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Lian had been in Haijiao Fairy City for two years.

Anxin Grocery Store is still ninety-eight years away from becoming a century-old store.

The second floor of the grocery store.

As spiritual light flickered around his body, the last ray of the spiritual pill's medicinal power transformed into spiritual power and gathered in his dantian.

After finishing his practice, Shen Lian opened and closed his eyes, with a gleam of spiritual light flashing in them.

【Insights: 28142】

【Divine enlightenment point: 7】

After being promoted to the fifth level of foundation building, he began to practice both pseudo-magic and physical cultivation. Currently, the strength of his physical body is almost comparable to that of a fine second-grade inferior magic weapon.

Currently, he is still some distance away from the sixth level of foundation building, but it’s not that Shen Lian lacks elixirs for cultivation.

In his current state of cultivation, he eats top-quality elixirs. Even the inner disciples of the Nascent Soul Sect do not have such treatment.

Mainly because he ate too many high-quality pills and felt full.

During this period of seclusion and cultivation, Shen Lian always felt a little depressed, and the circulation of spiritual energy in his body seemed not so smooth.

After much thought, he felt that it might be because he had been practicing in seclusion for too long.

Even ordinary people feel bored, and it is a very common phenomenon for monks to feel restless after being too still.

Shen Lian was thinking whether he should go out for a walk and see if there were any sea beasts in some remote sea area. He would also go and fight them to stretch his muscles and bones and relieve the anger of practicing in seclusion for a long time.

In the past two years in Cape Fairy City, he has saved up 500,000 low-grade spirit stones and also harvested a batch of resources, including five second-grade top-grade ones.

This place is a true gem.

After having the idea of ​​going out for a walk, Shen Lian was not in a hurry to go out, but instead studied the nautical chart of the waters near Cape Fairy City.

Prepare to find a remote sea area and fight some sea beasts.

No need for talismans or puppets, just do it yourself.

On this day, Shen Lian was carefully studying the sea chart, preparing to choose a place for himself to test himself.

Suddenly, the whole house shook violently.

In an instant, he was shocked and was about to see what was going on when he discovered that the entire fairy city was shaking.

It's a city defense formation! The city defense formation of Cape Fairy City is called the Black Water Mysterious Formation, and it is a third-level mid-grade formation.

Boom! Huge waves were heard in the vast oceans surrounding the Immortal City. Streams of water were drawn up from the sea out of thin air and gathered above the Immortal City.

Inside the fairy city, the ground veins trembled, and black water columns rose from the ground. There were a total of eighty-one sky-high black water columns, which together with the water surface above formed a black water light shield, covering the entire fairy city.

The sudden activation of the formation shocked the monks in the city.

Especially some monks with strange auras on their bodies were so frightened that they wanted to run around everywhere.

“Buzz!”

The formation shrouded in black mysterious water was like a giant inverted black bowl of light, which made a slight humming sound. Then countless runes lit up and floated down like snowflakes.

"Oh no, I can't hold on any longer."

In the city, a cultivator was the first to scream. The spell that concealed his breath instantly failed, and a thick bloody demonic energy emerged from his body.

"Hide quickly, this rune can...can..."

Some monks were still shouting when the restrained aura in their bodies was released.

He is also a demon cultivator.

For a moment, all the monks who were concealing their breath in the entire city felt like they could not hold on under the cover of black snowflakes.

Including Shen Lian.

He felt an invisible pressure coming down from the formation above.

He used a breath-suppressing formation to suppress his breath at the ninth level of Qi training, but the formation seemed to have eyes, and after a wave of ripples swept over him, it locked onto him.

In contrast, the monks in other shops nearby were all in the real realm and were not targeted.

Seeing that he could no longer conceal his presence, Shen Lian’s breath-concealing spell dissipated, and he regained his strength to the fifth level of foundation building.

Circles of black ripples swept across his body and then dispersed, and the feeling of being locked in the formation also disappeared.

"What are you looking for?"

There was confusion in Shen Lian's eyes. He already understood that the formation was in full operation and must be searching for someone.

"You still need to be more careful when you stay in the Immortal City in the future."

Looking at the black mysterious formation in the sky, he sighed slightly, thinking that his vision was still too narrow.

It is simply impossible to guard against. A third-level formation actually has this function. If we want to have a chance, we must find a higher-level method to conceal our breath.

Although he was not the target this time, Shen Lian secretly remembered this scene in his heart.

On the central mountain of Cape Fairy City, True Man Heixuan cast a spell with both hands, and black water gathered around his body.

Beside him stood a middle-aged monk in a black brocade robe, quietly watching Master Hei Xuan operate the formation.

"Did you find anything?"

"No, it seems that this Bian guy is not stupid. He knows that he cannot enter the city."

Hearing this, the monk in black brocade robe showed a look of pity, then he regained his composure.

"It's just a casual scoop, it doesn't matter if I can't get it."

True Man Hei Xuan descended from the sky, "Brother Yunlan, could it be that Qingyun here is carrying the secret treasure of Patriarch Ziyang, which is worthy of you, the third most powerful elder in the sect, to personally go to the Wanxing Sea."
