Lord of Bones

Chapter 372 The Cicada Situation
"Hey... Yu Ting... I should call you Senior Protector Meng Yi now." Zhu Jingxuan said seriously.

Hearing this, Meng Yi sighed, turned his head to look at Zhu Jingxuan, and said, "Even you are making trouble with me.

"I haven't talked about you yet. I was promoted to elder and didn't even say a word."

"Ah. Protector Jingxuan... no... Elder Jingxuan, have you made a breakthrough?
"When did you break through? When did you get promoted to elder? Why didn't I know?" Mu Yuting looked at Zhu Jingxuan with her beautiful eyes.

Zhu Jingxuan said with a smile: "I just left the customs two days ago to register.

"Although Mengqing Peak has already given the name to the elder, it still has to be reported to Aoki Peak, and then Aoki Peak will inform the other seven peaks.

"Qingyi Peak should receive news in the next two days."

"Miss Yunqing." Then, Zhu Jingxuan and Meng Yi looked at Li Yunqing.

Nodding slightly, Li Yunqing asked quietly: "Senior Meng, Senior Zhu, are you here to see me?"

Zhu Jingxuan nodded and said: "I heard that Miss Yunqing has been inquiring about Li Yuan's whereabouts since she came out of the valley.

"We, Mengqing, Shaoxiao and Taiheng, have been doing research this year, but there is no news.

"Today Meng Yi came to Mengqing Peak to find me... Meng Yi, it's up to you to do the talking!"

Later, Meng Yi told in detail how he met Li Yuan, confirming that Li Yuan and Yuan Yao had not died.

As soon as he returned to the sect, he asked the sect to pack the materials and rush to the Qingmu Palace.

I just didn't expect that Li Yuan had not come to Qingmu Palace, and there was no news about Li Yuan in Qingmu Palace.

Although he has traveled tens of millions of miles, he has been riding on the Huangxuanzhou, and his speed is naturally dozens of times faster than the Black-scaled Flame Bird.

"Senior Meng, do you mean that Xiao Yuanzi might have gone to the Bingyun Immortal Pavilion of the Hidden World Sect?" Li Yunqing cried with joy after listening to Meng Yi's words and asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure about this. After they sent me and Sisi out of Frozen Cloud Immortal Territory, they seemed to have turned back. They should have been escorting the disciples of Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion." Meng Yi replied.

"Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion?" Mu Yuting murmured. She was young and had never heard of Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion.

Li Yunqing paced back and forth, tears welling up in his eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart had been reduced a lot.

"Okay, Yunqing, now that we have the news, I think it won't be long before they arrive at the Aoki Palace." Mu Yuting consoled her.

Lianbu stopped and suddenly thought of something, Li Yunqing looked at the three of them and said slightly worriedly: "Everyone knows that Xiao Yuanzi has received a special treasure.

"I'm afraid there are many strong men who covet his treasure.

"If everyone knew that he was coming to the Aoki Palace, they would definitely snatch it away on the way."

Meng Yi pondered for a moment and comforted: "Don't worry about this, Li Yuan and Miss Yuan Yao are extraordinary.

"What's more, they also have Jiu Yan beside them. She is a peak level four bone monster.

"Even if ordinary Yuanshen realm experts take action, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat them.

"I estimate that Li Yuan will come to Qingmu Palace in about half a year.

"I also want him to come back soon and help arrange the refining of medicine. I have patted my chest for the sect."

Zhu Jingxuan and Mu Yuting nodded, and Li Yunqing felt relieved.

Later, Zhu Jingxuan glanced at Meng Yi and teased: "Before the matter is done, you are asking for credit in the sect.

"When it comes to arranging the refining of medicine, Qingmu Temple is the first in line."

Meng Yi was unwilling to be outdone, and the two began to fight.

Mu Yuting looked helpless.

Li Yunqing didn't ask any more questions. She knew Li Yuan's ability well, and her eyes moved to the west.

.........

Qianjue Cicada Ridge, looking at Cicada City, the city lord's palace.

Li Yuan and the others followed Duanmu Xirong and Pei Lingling and entered the real residence of the Duanmu family.

After walking through several trails, I met Pei Zhengnan with a group of Duanmu family guards, who seemed to be the team leader. He greeted Li Yuan and exchanged a few words with each other.

"Old man of the Pei family, aren't you supposed to be at the medicine shop in Bai Juecheng? Why did you come back to Wangchan City?" Duanmu Xirong suddenly asked.

"The drug store in Bai Jue City is temporarily closed. The situation there is too complicated. I will come back to take a look and tell the elder about the situation there." Pei Zhengnan replied with a slightly solemn expression.

Duanmu Xirong did not ask any more questions. She looked at Pei Lingling beside her and said, "Lingling, you haven't seen Mr. Pei for some time, so you don't need to follow me."

Hearing this, Pei Lingling's pretty face showed a hint of joy, and she nodded gratefully.

After Pei Zhengnan led Pei Lingling and the team to leave, Duanmu Xirong quickened his pace and led Li Yuan and Li Yuan through the verandah. A magnificent building appeared in their sight.

Although they were far apart, Li Yuan could still vaguely notice that there were many Yuan practitioners gathered inside.

Duanmu Xirong took Li Yuan and Li Yuan to a small pavilion nearby, waved lightly not far away, and two maids came over with refreshments.

"Mr. Li Yuan, Miss Yuan Yao, please rest here for a while.

"There is something going on at home today, please let me go in first and report it." Duanmu Xirong leaned forward slightly and said softly.

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded and watched Duanmu Xirong leave.

Yuan Yao withdrew his eyes from Duanmu Xirong's departing back, asked the two maids next to him to step back, and said proudly in a low voice: "Little Yuanzi, how did I behave outside just now?"

"Now you are getting more and more courageous. That Lou Hongyun is one of the 36 best in Chanling. I am not afraid of him hurting you." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

Yuan Yao sat down, stretched out her small crystal hand to support her cheek, and said lazily: "In Qianjue Cicada Ridge, it's not like I haven't seen those so-called 36 Cicada Ridges.

“To be honest, the strength is not that great.

“This Lou Hongyun is probably old and weaker than them.

"Besides, aren't you right next to me?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said angrily: "It turns out that in the end, he wanted to push me out of the way."

"Hehe." Yuan Yao stretched her little head forward and looked at Li Yuan, "Can you see what happened to me? Hehe...

"Through fighting with him, I can conclude that the essence bones in his body should have been finalized long ago, and there is no possibility of evolution.

"Even if his cultivation reaches the level of Nirvana, he can't do anything to me.

Speaking of this, Yuan Yao showed a look of inexplicable disappointment on her face. She took a long breath and continued: "Why can't I use Yuan Shu?"

He raised his head and glanced at the magnificent building outside the pavilion, then looked back and fell on the exquisite little hand.

Yuan Yao clapped her fingers and thought to herself: "I hope I can get both the Biyun Fruit and the Earth Fusion Fruit.

"The only thing left is Shouyuan pulp and Dark Green Vine wood...the ingredients for refining the Liuhe Bugen Pill are all there."

"Hey..." Ling sighed quietly in Li Yuan's body, "If you can refine the Liuhe Bugen Pill and activate the first elemental technique in your bloodline, you may not want it, even though it is a heaven-level one."

"Why? You must know what Yuan Technique Jiu Huanyuan obtained when he was born?" Yuan Yao's face was full of doubts, waiting for Ling to give an answer.

Li Yuan smiled and said nothing, slowly releasing his soul power to explore the situation inside the building.

As the soul power surged into the building, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Why don't you just investigate the situation? Do you need to close your eyes?"

Seeing that Ling had no intention of replying, Yuan Yao looked at Li Yuan, complained, and then laid her head on the stone table.

Duanmu Xirong entered the magnificent building opposite the pavilion, stood in a corner, and chose an opportunity to transmit messages to Duanmu Jinghai.

Clan members with high family status gathered here, all with gloomy faces.

"Bam—"

Suddenly, Duanmu Jinghai slapped the table with a fierce look in his eyes, and said angrily: "These big and small forces in Qianxue City used to turn Qianxue City into a city of chaos, and now Bai Juecheng is going to attack Qianxue City again. The direction of the city's development. "In the past, there was Lingyunting operating in Qianxue City, but not in Baijue City today. All our stores there will close down. "

Without the elixir business in the huge city of Bai Juecheng, the Duanmu family's income would plummet, and whoever felt better would be on fire.

"Jingjiang, the master of the house has been in retreat, so we don't want to disturb him.

"As the Great Elder, you have to find a way to recover the losses."

Duanmu Jinghai turned his eyes to the old man opposite the desk. Duanmu Jingjiang, the eldest elder of the Duanmu family, was also one of the 36 uniques of Chanling.

"This matter has indeed had a great impact on us..." Duanmu Jingjiang slowly exhaled, "Let the matter of Bai Juecheng go first. If it doesn't work, we can only close the store permanently."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly boiled.

Once there is no such income, the resources received by the tribesmen will definitely be reduced.

"Without the Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ling, it would be difficult for us to enter Qianjue Cicada Ridge on weekdays.

“But what is needed can be obtained from other parts of the continent.

"But... the shops in Bai Jue City are completely closed. It's not easy to find such a huge city again." A tribesman said.

"Yes... toward the northeast, those giant cities belong to the Aoki Temple area, and we have no advantage.

"Going southeast and entering the Yushi Sect area, there are some opportunities, but the distance is too far.

“The nearest big city is Xilin City.

"This city is located at the junction of two major sects. There is nothing major and neither sect will interfere. It is not much smaller than Qianxue City."

“But this city is actually controlled by Blood Moon Valley, second only to the Eight Sects.

"We want to develop on the territory of Blood Moon Valley and get at least half of the profits."

"..."

After hearing the concerns of the tribesmen, Duanmu Jingjiang sighed and said loudly: "Don't think about expanding your business now."

"Great Elder, what do you mean? Please explain it clearly." Hearing this, everyone was startled, and one of the tribesmen asked.

Duanmu Jingjiang smoothed his beard and said solemnly, "To be honest with you, according to the information I heard in Bai Jue City, Bai Jue City cannot hold so many Qian Xuecheng forces, and some are already preparing to withdraw.

"It is estimated that before long, there will be an influx of people in Wangchan City, including the two major forces, the Extreme Cold Society and the Ice and Fire Mansion."

"The most important thing right now is not them, but Cicada Realm Town." Duanmu Jinghai took over and added.

"Cicada Realm Town? The Cicada Realm Town where the two heroes of the Yin family belong to?" someone asked.

Duanmu Jingjiang and Duanmu Jinghai nodded silently at the same time, and the latter said: "Cicada Realm Town entered the city an hour ago, so I hurriedly summoned everyone."

Hearing this news that was like a bolt from the blue, the whole hall immediately fell silent.

Cicada Realm Town is located in the Qianjue Chan Ridge area, and its influence is considered to be a first-rate force on par with the Duanmu family. Neither of the Yin family is a fuel-efficient lamp.

They are still thinking about expanding outwards. If this continues, they may not be able to save their own Wangchan City.

I originally wanted to play the role of the city lord's palace safely in this corner of the city.

Reluctantly, the forces led by Tu Chanlou and Lingyunting entered Wangchan City, breaking their original comfortable life.

If there are some forces that are comparable to Tu Chan Tower and Lingyunting, such as the Extreme Cold Society and Binghuo Mansion, there will be some trouble.

These forces can't shake the Duanmu family's status, but it's different when they unite.

Not to mention the many small forces, the four major forces in Qianxue City are so terrifying.

The Duanmu family can become the top force in Qianjue Chan Ridge because of the resounding name of Duanmu Jingbai, who has achieved Nirvana, and the prestige of the enshrinement that has not been seen for a long time.

After all, Nirvana is not an invincible existence. It is impossible to scare other strong people by itself.

Now that Wangchan City is still under control, at least they have good relations with Ling Yunting and have been in contact with each other, so they will not be a threat to them.

Ling Yunting was in charge of the drug store business in Qian Xuecheng before.

In addition, other forces are standing opposite to the Duanmu family.

The Yin brothers from Chanjie Town are here, and the current situation will be broken immediately.

"If we can add two or three Nirvana to the family, we will not look down upon these small forces."

In the hall that had been silent for a long time, someone suddenly said something.

Hearing this, everyone shook their heads. It is not that easy to reach the state of Nirvana.

With such strength, he can hold the position of inner sect elder in eight sects.

The barrier between the two levels, the later stage and perfection, has made it impossible to cross many peaks of the later stage of Nirvana near Qianjue Chan Ridge.

In Wangchan City today, it seems that the Duanmu family is still in charge of the overall situation, but there are undercurrents of forces from all sides.

If many forces such as the Extreme Cold Society and the Binghuo Mansion poured into Wangchan City, the situation in the city would change drastically.

"The Great Elder, the Third Elder... you have been at the peak of the late Nirvana stage for several years. Can you..." A junior asked.

"No." Duanmu Jinghai immediately replied, "If we had the chance, we would have retreated long ago."

A tribesman continued: "There is no chance. As long as the second elder can refine the Taixu Xuandan, the first elder and the third elder can successfully advance to perfection."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the old woman in green clothes above.

She is Duanmu Jinghe, the second elder of the Duanmu family. Although she is only in the late stage of Nirvana, she is a one-star Heavenly Medicine King.

In addition to Duanmu Jingbai, Duanmu Jinghe is another supporter of the family.

Duanmu Shuangjiao is very famous in hundreds of thousands of miles around.

Because of their existence, the Duanmu family's residence became the palace of the Lord of Wangchan City.

"Yes, if you can refine Taixu Xuandan..."

"Lou Hongyun of Tu Chan Tower takes things that are of no use to the public every day, hoping to exchange them for the Taixu Xuandan, and also wants to reach the perfection of Nirvana."

"..."

Duanmu Jinghe coughed twice, and the hall became silent for an instant.

"I am unable to refine Taixu Xuandan." Duanmu Jinghe shook his head helplessly, "This pill is a high-grade Xuandan, and there are only a few alchemists in the entire continent who can refine such pills.

“Even if an alchemist can refine other high-grade mysterious pills, he may not be able to refine the Taixu mysterious pill.

“Whether it is Taixu King Pill or Taixu Xuandan, it will consume a lot of the alchemist’s energy during refining.

“I don’t even dare to refine the Taixu King Pill easily, let alone the Taixu Xuan Pill.

"Refining this elixir, but before the elixir is successfully melted, the energy will be exhausted and we will be unable to continue.

“No alchemist in the Yuanshen realm can withstand it.

"If it were so easy to refine Taixu Xuandan, the elders of the eight major sects would have been spread all over the mainland."

After hearing Duanmu Jinghe's explanation, everyone in the clan sighed.

The meaning is obvious. There should be no alchemist on the mainland who can refine this elixir.

The chatter in the hall suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a dull silence.

There was a heavy pressure in the air that made people feel suffocated.
