Six Paths Nightmare Palace

Chapter 72
In the void not far away, Zhong Chen's chest heaved slightly, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Tu and Zhong Yun were stunned, unable to say a word for a long time.

The smile at the corner of Zhong Jinkui's mouth froze, and his face was even paler. He would never have imagined that his father, who was at the peak of Jindan's early stage, would be confronted by Zhong Shen and his head would be in a different place.

He shivered violently in his heart, and immediately reacted, he turned around, and was about to flee into the distance.

"Zhong Jinkui, the scenery in the Valley of No Return is so good, wouldn't it be a pity not to go in and enjoy it?" Zhong Chen's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and his face suddenly showed an unbelievable look of fear.

The next moment, a pair of blue-blue iron claws firmly grasped his shoulders, only to feel that the surrounding scenery retreated for a while, and then the whole person loosened, and his eyes were suddenly filled with a strange red.

"what……"

A shrill and tragic sound came from the mouth of no return valley, followed by a soft sound of "bang", as if something fell heavily on the ground.Then, all the sounds inside stopped abruptly.

Zhong Tu and Zhong Yun stood at the mouth of the canyon, looking at the crimson inside like a raging flame, like a dream.

"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back first." Zhong Chen found a storage bag from the headless corpse of the white-faced old man, and then threw the corpse into the Valley of No Return, so he said.

After a while, three figures burst into the air and flew towards the distance.

Not long after the three of them left, at the top of a hill near the mouth of the valley of no return, the void fluctuated, and the figure of a man in white robes appeared out of nowhere, looking at the three escaping lights gradually drifting away in the sky, his eyes flashed, I don’t know what to think something.

……

Three days later, Zhong Yun lived in a secret room.

"Shen...Brother Shen, this is absolutely impossible, this...this is too precious!" Zhong Tu said incoherently as he looked at the large crystal elixir in the jade box in his hand.

"Brother Shen, this is something you desperately got from the Nightmare Palace, we can't take it!" Zhong Yun closed the jade box in his hand, handed it to Zhong Chen, and said solemnly.

"These two Taiyi Pills are things I specially left to you two. You all helped me before I went to the Nightmare Palace. I didn't treat you two, and now you don't have to be polite to me." Zhong Chen With a light smile, he said so.

"You gave us Taiyi Pill, so what do you do yourself? Now that you have completed your foundation-building cultivation, you are using this thing."

"Yes! This..."

"Okay, needless to say, I have my own intentions for doing this. But this matter must be kept secret, and no one can reveal the slightest. Zhong Yuefeng's reaction is also the reaction of other people in the clan. It's a matter of life and death, the two of you must Remember." Zhong Chen waved his hand, stopped the two's words, and said solemnly.

When Zhong Yun and Zhong Tu heard the words, they thought of what Zhong Yuefeng had done before, and their expressions were dignified.

After Zhong Yun pondered for a while, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhong Tu: "Second brother, since Brother Shen has said so, he is sure to condense the golden elixir."

"The three of you and I are both concubines of the Zhong family. We have known each other since childhood. You all know what you have suffered in the clan over the years. It is not easy to get to where we are today, and the road ahead will be even more difficult. You call me big brother, and I will do my best to take care of you as much as I can, but in the final analysis, the improvement of the strength of the cultivation base still depends on the individual. Remember, the Zhong family and even the world can only have enough strength. The right to speak." Zhong Chen stretched out his hands and patted the two of them on the shoulders, said slowly.

"Yes, what we have suffered is unimaginable by the disciples of the direct line. In the eyes of the elders of the Zhong family, we, the concubine, are just cannon fodder when we have disputes with others. Other than that, we are nothing." Zhong Yun Shuangquan said tightly.

"Brother Shen, don't worry, go to retreat, we will take care of ourselves." Zhong Tu nodded.

……

After Zhong Chen left Zhong Yun's residence, he did not return to his residence, but went to the semi-open market he had been to before, intending to do as much preparation as possible before retreating.

During this trip to the Nightmare Palace, he gained nearly seven or eight thousand from Lingyu alone, plus the storage bags he got from Zhong Yuefeng and Zhong Jinkui this time, totaling more than 3000. It is simply an unimaginable huge sum of money.

After he came to Fang City, he first replaced some items in the storage bag that were not useful and would not cause suspicion, divided them into several batches and replaced them with Lingyu, and then began to go in and out of various stores. .

But after a short while, he left the market and headed northwest.In the next time, Zhong Shen kept running, running seven or eight places of all sizes in a row, almost consuming nine out of ten of the spiritual jade on his body.

Of course, there are also many more bottles and jars in the storage bag, which are naturally all kinds of elixir and spirit stones that are helpful to the formation of elixir.

As one of the three major immortal clans in Tiannan Province, the Zhong family is not lacking in all kinds of heaven and earth treasures, but these things are naturally used on the disciples of the direct line. Among them, the rarest and most precious things are absolutely It will be used on the best of these direct disciples.As for a concubine disciple like Zhong Chen, even the son of the head of the family would not have any room for consideration.

This is also the key to the difference in strength and cultivation between the direct line and the concubine line. Among the more than one hundred Jindan elders of the Zhong family, most of them are direct line disciples, which is enough to explain the problem.

But now, with these spiritual pills and other items that he bought with a lot of spirit jade, his success rate in condensing the golden pills has greatly increased. Of course, the most important thing is the three-rank Taiyi Pill he obtained.

It's been more than half a month since he returned to Zhong's house again. As soon as he returned to his residence, he only explained a few words to Shi Wu, and then fell into his big bed and fell asleep.

This period of time has really made him exhausted!However, what he didn't know was that during the period of time he was out, the disappearance of Zhong Yuefeng, the elder of the Zhong family's foreign affairs, and his son Zhong Jinkui had been discovered, which caused quite a stir for a while.

But for some reason, this matter only lasted for a few days, and then gradually became silent.

A few days later, in the closed area of ​​the Zhong family, there was a secret cultivation room.

Zhong Chen closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the Spirit Gathering Formation, with his palms facing upwards, resting lightly on his knees, his chest rising and falling slightly, breathing in and out rhythmically.

Suddenly, his eyelids moved, he slowly opened his eyes, and the light flashed in his eyes.

After several days of meditation, he has adjusted his body to the best state, and then he plans to retreat and try to condense the golden elixir.

He took a deep breath and glanced around slowly, his eyes flickering slightly.

This is not the first time it has come here.

This training room, like other training rooms, was built on a spiritual vein rich in spiritual energy inside the Zhong family. It is a place for closed-door practice in the entire Zhong family. No matter the descendant of the concubine, or even the disciples of foreign surnames can apply for use, as long as they pay a small amount of spiritual jade.

But in fact, a small number of direct disciples of the Zhong family, especially those who are highly relied upon in the clan such as Zhong Daotian and Zhong Yiyun, will never retreat here, but some specially tailored for them in the clan. In a hidden place with richer spiritual energy, its cultivation effect is far from comparable here.

However, this secret room at this time is already very different. In addition to the spirit gathering magic circle under him, there are many complex spirit patterns on the ground around the room, as well as several small flags of different colors. A set of magic circles that he purchased at the cost of [-] spiritual jade before, the effect is much better than the ordinary spirit gathering magic circle.

At the same time, on the surrounding walls, there are also many blue water-attribute spirit stones with the size of the mouth of a bowl inlaid, and there is a faint blue mist lingering around them. These are also valuable top-grade spirit stones.

After this transformation, he asked himself that the retreat environment here, although it may not really be comparable to those retreat resorts built with heavy investment in the clan, but it will never be worse.
