The Secret Realm of the Golden Crow.

Looking around, the snow-white ice field stretches as far as the eye can see.

The ice shrinks in the cold current, and the river is filled with frozen mist.

The snow was knee-deep, but snowflakes were still falling from the sky all year round.

The cold wind is enough to freeze a warrior of the third realm to death and cut through his flesh and bones.

After entering the secret realm, thousands of warriors and monks scattered everywhere and could only rely on the outline of the red sun in the sky to determine the direction.

There was a whistling wind in the ears, and in the secret realm, the heaven and earth were so overwhelming that the cultivators' perception and vision were greatly reduced.

On the snowy ice field, three figures formed a triangle and approached the high mountains in the distant white mist. Behind them, a thin but long green silk thread slowly gathered, and after a large number of creatures broke in, it drove everyone towards the center.

Taoist Jin, who was no longer in the lead, used the ripples in his heart to convey a message to someone. As a cultivator at the Guanhai Realm who had reached the seventh stage of Qi training, he could get a position as a deacon in a first-class mountain immortal family. The reason why guys like him continued to be wild cultivators was that they were contaminated with too many causes and effects in the process of obtaining the Tao, so destroying corpses and killing people for treasures was easy for them.

"Brother Jiang, look at Huang Gan, he is full of energy and blood, and he is walking here normally. He is definitely not a good guy. The two of us cultivators are not strong enough. If we continue, he will definitely find a flaw. I still have three earth talismans. If we kill him, we will be unsafe. When we get close to the mountains, I will say one, two, three, and we will run separately. How about that?"

Taoist Jin looked straight ahead, looking as if he was making the journey with great difficulty.

Jiang Yuan did not comment, because Huang Gan's voice transmission also rang in his ears.

"Brother Jiang, be careful. I am a warrior and I am able to walk very fast here, so it is understandable. But if you look carefully at the footprints of Taoist Jin, the snow melted slightly when his footsteps fell, which shows that he is a cultivator who specializes in fire magic. Since we came in, the colder we get the further we go, the colder it gets. He must be waiting for us to run out of strength. By then, I, a warrior, can still hold on for a while, but you will be in real danger. Your perception is reduced, and your flying sword is weak. You may not even have a chance to fight to the death."

Huang Gan still maintained a slightly arrogant expression.

Seen from mid-air, the positions of the three people were getting closer at an extremely slow speed.

After half an hour's march, the three arrived at the largest mountain in their sight. A stone tablet several dozen meters high was half buried in the snow, and the ancient seal characters of "Qu'a Mountain" could be vaguely seen.

At a certain moment, Jin Daoren suddenly took out a talisman made of very rare material, and his face looked a little hideous because of the pain in his flesh.

The small candle talisman emitted a strong light, and it looked like a half sun rose in front of the stone tablet.

Someone sensed that the other two were approaching him quickly. It was obvious that they had already colluded with each other and planned to capture the sword cultivator, who was very valuable both on the mountain and on the hill, in one fell swoop. If they were lucky enough to get the prey's natal flying sword before it could self-destruct, it would be a huge profit.

Huang Gan showed a bloodthirsty look and laughed loudly, "Little Sword Immortal, how can you kill two people with just one sword? I am a sixth-level warrior with thick skin and flesh. Why don't you go and exchange your life with me?"

"Brother Jiang, don't fall into my trap. If you die, I will not be spared either. I will come to help you right away." Taoist Jin said anxiously.

After a moment, the two of them stopped in a hurry.

Because there is a sharp flying sword the size of a palm parked in front of each of them.

"I am unworthy of the title of Sword Immortal. I appreciate Master Jin's kindness, but we should stay away from him."

Jiang Yuan took back the Mandarin Duck Flying Sword that had been split into two. After a sword cultivator died, his original flying sword would lose its magical powers and could only retain its toughness and sharpness. However, this Mandarin Duck Sword could be split into two halves to achieve a similar effect as before.

Taoist Jin sneered and put away the priceless little sword-locking talisman in his hand. One talisman was obviously not enough.

Huang Gan clasped his fists, a slight fear flashing in his eyes. His heart point was located on the right side of his chest. It was an innate wonder and had played a role many times in the past. However, if the target had two flying swords, the other fatal position would not be worth his risk.

The three of them looked normal. There was no such thing as loyalty and courage among the wild cultivators.

Taoist Jin wiped off the snowflakes on the stone tablet and struggled to make out the ancient seal characters on it. Generally speaking, it was very difficult for a wild cultivator to survive, and how to comprehend the Dharma was a problem. The Nine Continents of Haoran each had their own orthodox and elegant language, but when they passed away and left behind their inheritance, they basically did not consider these.

"The Dao is bright and majestic... This is a golden elixir method!"

Huang Gan's eyes narrowed and he took a few steps forward. The so-called Golden Elixir Method is a method that directly leads to the Golden Elixir. As long as one has enough qualifications, meets the conditions and has the right understanding, one can practice all the way to the Golden Elixir realm. To become a terrestrial immortal is equivalent to becoming a guest of honor of all major forces. No sect would mind having too many terrestrial immortals. It also represents a stable source of money for offering to the gods.

Jiang Yuan also came over. The method on the stone tablet belonged to a branch of the mountain refining network, named Wei'e Jue. In short, it was to absorb the spiritual charm of the roots of the mountains and refine a thick earth golden pill.

Before a cultivator achieves the middle five realms, he needs to collect natal objects of the five elements as the foundation of his Taoism. The higher the rank, the greater the possibility and effect of opening up a spiritual cave in the body, and it even involves the future transformation of the cave into a golden elixir.

For him, this stage was completely skipped. At the beginning, he deduced and took a path of refining the false to achieve the true, which was slightly different from the orthodox path of cultivation.

Jiang Yuan calmed down slightly. A shadow god and the god-man's sword-killing talisman merged with each other, which could carry 30% of the power of the Yin God. The killing ability of this big talisman was almost nothing. The focus was on "serving the sword", but the magic ranked among the top three among the eighteen big talismans in "The Complete Book of Talismans". The basic use of this talisman lineage was for disciples to invite the ancestors to pray. In addition, the god-man had the necessary meridians and acupoints. The original intention was to facilitate the object of the summoned god to exert its strength, and after attaching to the shadow god entity, it became possible to practice.

In other words, if Youbi Shadow God cultivates to the Golden Elixir stage and crosses the threshold of life and death cultivation, then it is estimated that he will be able to withstand 60% of the total power of the Yin God. The improvement is extremely obvious, because more than half of the Sword Immortals are definitely still Sword Immortals.

This leads to two options: one is to proceed step by step and make steady progress; the other is to pursue efficiency and stop there.

In this regard, someone's choice is the latter. After all, the level of Shadow God's achievements does not affect the final unity of the Great Dao. He needs more protective combat power that can be used at any time. The combination of Shadow God and talismans has evolved into a new and special Taoist method. As expected, Zuo Fu and You Bi will carry 60% of the combat power, and the killing power of the Beidou Zhankan formation will be raised to a higher level.

In front of Qu'a Mountain, Jin Daoren and Huang Gan were wary of each other and each wrote down the golden elixir method on the stone tablet. For the former, this method alone was enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Jiang Yuan used sword energy to quietly cleanse Youbi's body.

The lower five realms are also known as the five realms of mountaineering.

The first level is bronze skin, which draws the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to penetrate the body surface and strengthen the skin.

The second level of grass roots deepens the degree of infiltration, allowing the spiritual energy to fill the flesh and blood and enhance the recovery ability.

The third realm, Liu Jin, uses spiritual energy to organize the meridians all over the body. There are more than a dozen levels such as inner vision, penetration, positive and strange, circulation, etc., so it is also regarded as the realm of retaining people.

The fourth level is backbone, "to create a thousand-pound bone, one must have one or two qi", and the spiritual energy penetrates deep into the bone marrow.

In the fifth realm, one builds a house where skin, flesh, tendons and bones become one.

After a moment, the sword energy went from the outside to the inside, and Jiang Yuan made breakthroughs one after another, becoming a fifth-level Qigong practitioner. Then he casually grabbed a handful of soil and refined it into an earth-attributed natal object. He then stretched out his hand to grasp a handful of moonlight, which served as a water-attributed natal object. The ordinary long sword at his waist shattered into gold, and a small golden flame talisman turned into fire. As he hadn't found anything with wood attributes for the time being, he could only pick one from his own birth date and time and fill it in.

With the five elements gathered together, the thatched hut built with flesh, tendons and bones was like having five pillars, and a qualitative change occurred. From this moment on, the cultivator could absorb and accumulate spiritual power.

Half a minute after starting to practice, Jiang Yuan broke through the cave realm and became a middle-five realm immortal. The depth of his foundation determines the speed of absorption and depth of accumulation at this stage.

Because his foundation is too poor, normally he can only stay in this realm for decades like a turtle. Even after encountering several big fights, he may not be able to reach the bottleneck until his lifespan runs out.

But a huge amount of sword energy poured into the cave, and because of the same source, there was no need for transformation. Someone broke through the Guanhai Realm. The energy in his body was like the sea. After being refined, he easily achieved the unity of man and nature and broke through the Longmen Realm again. The Shadow God and the Great Talisman were completely integrated into one, and he cultivated his life and soul together, becoming a Golden Elixir Earth Immortal.

Jiang Yuan looked inward and found that he had formed a ninth-grade golden elixir in just one minute. It was indeed a shocking degree of difficulty. Youbi Shadow God had no potential at all, but the magnitude of his power was 60% as expected. "Only those who can form a golden elixir can be considered as people of our generation." This was an improvement in the level of life.

Suddenly, in the flying snow at the end of the sight, several figures gradually became blurred and approached the direction of Qu'a Mountain.

Huang Gan smashed the stone tablet with one punch upon seeing this. If he sold this golden elixir method, he would get at least twenty or thirty grains of Guyu money. There was no reason to leave it to others.

Jin Dao Ren felt a little regretful. The three of them looked at each other and immediately moved to the side. As for going up the mountain, it was impossible. Once there was some incomplete formation ahead, the result would be being attacked from both sides by the guys behind.

At this time, the green silk threads surrounding the entire secret realm were converging at a relatively slow speed, and the cold wave was gradually concentrating. The immortals in the middle five realms all felt the temperature drop, which had reached a level that caused serious physical discomfort to those in the cave realm.

It's not that no one has tried to block the green line, but the further back one is, the greater the pressure from heaven and earth one will encounter. Even a Jindan sword cultivator who acts as a protector can't help even if he uses his sword with all his strength. Moreover, those in the front can detect those behind in advance, so everyone must compete to cross the line.

A group of people arrived at the foot of Qu'a Mountain. Leading them was a young man and woman. The man had a handsome face, a tall hat and a wide belt. His snow-white Taoist robe looked particularly elegant under the flying snow. He had a jade-inlaid sword on his waist, which was a top-grade magical weapon. The woman had an outstanding demeanor, the hem of her Taoist robe swayed slightly, her legs were graceful and slender, her temperament seemed cold, and she held a white whisk from the Chongxuan Office of the Dayuan Dynasty.

As for the other two, they were the protectors of the elders of Longmen Realm. The young man and woman were a pair of quasi-Taoist lovers made in heaven for the mountain immortals.

Without the pressure from heaven and earth, it was the female nun with a lower realm among the four who was the first to notice the abnormality.

"Young Master and Young Lady, please save me. I am willing to give you a fragmentary stone tablet golden elixir method. This guy first coveted it, and then attacked it. He is really a treacherous villain. I beg you two to do me a favor!"

In the vast snowstorm not far away, the young man with his face covered fell to the ground, his clothes stained with blood and ice. An old Taoist in front of him was facing a powerful enemy, tightly grasping the last earth talisman and preparing to fight to the death.

Huang Gan had a murderous look on his face, holding an ancient sword, and the air was filled with blood.

The young man forced himself to suppress the urge to show off in front of the girl, intending to follow his master's advice and avoid more trouble. However, he did not expect that the warrior would speak rudely.

"Get out of here, you little brat. I'm going to take this extra money today, otherwise the seventy households in the village will be left starving. If you want to have a piece of the pie, see if the sword in my hand will agree to it."

The young man looked back.

The middle-aged guardian smiled and said, "We in Bingge Mountain don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. The ancestor won't blame us if he finds out about it later."

The young master then sneered and used all his strength to sacrifice his natal item, which was a precious treasure used by the immortals on the mountain to attack.

Chi Jianzhou turned into a streak of light with great momentum, and it was so fast that an afterimage appeared, and it hit the back of the "Fifth Realm Warrior" in one fell swoop.

The woman in Taoist robe has beautiful eyes and bright spirit.

"How can I allow you to do evil?" The young man shook his head.

Huang Gan was covered in blood and kept apologizing to the four people. According to Ye Xiu's experience, if a young man and woman traveled in the mountains and had a dispute, the man would definitely fight with all his strength. If he asked for mercy, he would be begging the woman for a chance of survival. "Miss Shenxian, please spare my life. It doesn't matter if I die. The people in my hometown won't survive this year. My sister is also seriously ill..."

The young man was planning to wipe out the root of the problem, but was stopped by the woman in Taoist robes.

"Please speak more carefully."

Huang Gan described the situation of his hometown in detail, including many real place names.

"…They are all from the countryside, the masters don't care at all!"

Taoist Jin hesitated, then stood up and said a few fair words.

"Four seniors, our Chunhou Temple does collect a lot of taxes on weekdays, but all of this money goes into the pocket of the temple master. My junior brother and I don't get any of it at all. This time he is taking his anger out on us."

The woman in Taoist robe was about to say something when she was interrupted by the Taoist priestess.

"Is the Golden Elixir Method the truth?"

Taoist Jin was somewhat reluctant, but he still handed over the incomplete copy.

The Taoist nun smiled and said, "Since you don't have the energy to fight to the death, why don't you help us explore the way? It is said that the Qu'a Mountain ahead was transformed from a flaming turtle. It is getting colder and colder now. We need something to light the fire."

After saying that, she threw the copy to the middle-aged bodyguard without mentioning any reward. Saving two lives is not something that can be bought with mere immortal money.

Taoist Jin was so grateful that he shed tears and took out a crude pill to feed it to his fellow apprentice.

Jiang Yuan woke up slowly, lowered his eyelids, looked at this genuine poison for a moment, and said:

"Brother, your life is safe, so keep it for now."

"How can this be?" Taoist Jin was horrified and refused to let it go easily, insisting that the other party eat it honestly.

Not far away, the woman in Taoist robes threw out a bottle of common water pills. She just thought that the other person's voice was quite nice and should not be a bad person. Of course, she couldn't say that, otherwise she would harm the other person.

"Don't delay our journey."

Half a quarter of an hour later, a group of seven people climbed the mountain.

After passing the stone tablet area, the cold wave became more severe. Taoist Jin could only stamp his feet occasionally to regain feeling in his legs. The caves of several Qigong practitioners showed signs of freezing into ice.

There is an incomplete guard formation on the top of Qu'a Mountain. Despite the passage of countless years, it still maintains a minimum level of operation. Inside are dozens of huts, which are distributed in unusually exquisite positions. Skeletons are sitting cross-legged with their backs to the crowd, holding books, swords, reading, or plucking strings of a musical instrument, all waiting for death to come.

The two protectors took action, and the remaining formation was shaky, but it still held on.

The young man and woman each took out a fiery red herb and swallowed it to relieve the coldness in their bodies.

The Taoist robe woman took the initiative to say: "You have to find some fire objects along the way, otherwise it will be difficult to get out alive. Fire grass, red lotus and other things are very common in this secret realm, and they can be sold for a good price outside."

"Why tell them this?" the young man said calmly.

Seeing that the two protectors had the same attitude, the woman in Taoist robes sighed softly and said no more.

After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, another group of people arrived at Qu'a Mountain, two men and one woman.

Taoist Jin whispered to someone, "That woman is the descendant of the Water Dragon Sect Master, Bai Bi, one of the ten great fairies on the mountain. The Shanshui Palace Report said that she has reached the bottleneck of the Dragon Gate Realm. As for the young marquis next to her, his name is Zhan Qing, he is from the Dayuan Dynasty, and their relationship is unclear. I am not sure about the other one, did you see anything?"

Jiang Yuan said calmly: “He has the intention to kill Zhan Qing, but he has no intention to kill her. He is like a jar of old vinegar.”

Taoist Jin laughed softly for a while, this brother is really a wonderful person.

The two bodyguards were obviously quite afraid of Bai Bi. The young man was stunned. The ten fairies on the mountain were naturally very beautiful, dressed in white, without any decoration.

"Fairy Bai, why don't we join forces to break the remaining formation and each take half of the spoils." said the middle-aged guard.

"Is this the place? Junior brother, please don't lead us the wrong way." Bai Bi said with a smile.

The young man bowed and said humbly, "I dare not waste the time of Senior Sister and Young Marquis. I am not talented enough. I have read all the secrets of the mountain and the origins of the immortals. Today's Jinwu Palace is just a self-proclaimed junior. As early as three thousand years ago, this was actually the back mountain of Qingde Sect. The sect relied on formations to gain a foothold, but it declined because the founder of the sect died after comprehending the innate terrain of Ghost Valley. Among them, Qu'a Mountain was the place where an earthly immortal swordsman practiced. At that time, he was known as the Sword Drunk Three Thousands."

At the same time, Jiang Yuan glanced at Huang Gan without leaving a trace. When they arrived, it was the other party who kept guiding the direction. Jin Dao Ren was afraid of leading them to a dead end, so he walked to the front.

Bai Bi listened to his junior brother's words and turned around with a smile, "I hope the two seniors will not hold back."

The female protector snorted coldly.

The three Longmen Realm cultivators attacked together. The natal objects of the two elders were only top-grade magic weapons, but the Baibi hairpin held by Baibi was an offensive magic weapon that was not inferior to Chi Jianzhou's.

The eyes of the Taoist priestess became colder, and the four words "striving for the first place in the great way" kept echoing in her heart. If she had a magical weapon that was her lifeblood, she might be able to break through the heavy bottleneck that had troubled her for sixty years. Once she became a terrestrial immortal, her status would rise sharply.

After several fierce attacks, the remaining formation was broken.

None of the three Longmen Realm masters were willing to give way. After all, the Qingde Sect was a powerful sect with the word "Zong" in its name, and there might be some great opportunity.

The others followed a little later. Suddenly, Huang Gan stopped hiding himself and rushed up with a sword in hand with the perfect strength of a sixth-level warrior, and slashed fiercely at the young marquis Zhan Qing.

This young marquis was not completely defenseless against others, but at the critical moment, a sword-cutting talisman behind him burst out with a sword of the earth immortal, which directly destroyed his protective magic weapon.

The young man used five spells that he had prepared for many years in succession, restraining his rival's various methods one by one.

Huang Gan cut off the young marquis's head with one blow, then rolled over to avoid a Water Dragon Sect spell that could shatter rocks.

"Mom and Dad, save me."

"Two seniors, Bai Bi and Zhan Qing have already secretly decided to spend their lives together, and there is no turning back." The young man laughed.

The opportunity at Qu'a Mountain, Bai Bi's life-saving magic weapon, the grudge of a fairy with earthly immortal qualifications, the hidden secret place for killing and burying bodies, all these factors completely broke the relationship.

The female protector took the lead and stabbed the enemy with a sword.

"Help me quickly."

The middle-aged guardian stared at Bai Bi's figure and said, "Hand over the treasure to the sect, and I will reward you with seven and I will reward you with three, and keep her alive."

Even though the nun was disgusted, she still agreed immediately.

Bai Bi screamed sharply, and three people from Longmen Realm fought each other. The wave quickly spread to the entire mountain, and the huts were destroyed one after another.

The boy laughed heartily.

Huang Gan took the opportunity to chop off the man's head, and used Zhan Qing's item to collect all the spoils. Long before entering the secret realm, the two sides had secretly reached an alliance, but that did not stop him from breaking his promise. All the vows were things he would need to consider in the future. If he could not become a martial artist, he would only be able to bully others in the vassal states. What he wanted most was to experience the pinnacle of martial arts, and then fight back to avenge his brother who usurped the throne.

Without any communication, Taoist Jin attacked the woman in Taoist robe, while Jiang Yuan attacked the young man.

The two guards were a little hesitant when they saw this.

Taoist Jin shouted, "Two seniors, you have the Golden Elixir Technique in your hands, so why do you have to bow down to me? If you can't kill Bai Bi, you will die here today. If you can win and kill him, the Water Dragon Sect will definitely hold you accountable when you return. Do you think you are more valuable than the young master and young lady? Who will bear the responsibility? You know better than me."

Bai Bi said in a shrill voice, "I'm only going to kill that warrior, get out of here!"

The two men hesitated again, but Huang Gan did not flee but advanced and joined the battlefield as a warrior.

"Silly woman, now we are killing people and stealing treasures!"

The three surrounded and killed Bai Bi.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan shot out the Mandarin Duck Flying Sword, which was swallowed by the young man's Sword-Eating Boat.

This kind of treasure specially designed for sword cultivators is essentially a special exotic beast. The more flying swords it eats, the higher its rank. If it can be promoted to the level of the Sword-Swallowing Boat, which is equal to the tribe leader the Treasure-Swallowing Whale, it can even eat the flying swords of sword immortals. However, it is extremely difficult to upgrade it. Refining it into a magic weapon is destined to consume most of the wealth of several senior earth immortals.

"I'll give you the flying sword, and this thing belongs to me."

Bypassing layers of magic, Jiang Yuan simply used the sixth level of martial arts to deliver a punch, smashing several protective magic tools and destroying the young man's body. A round of moonlight killed his soul, and then stole his fate and identity, making it into a thin moon robe and putting it into his sleeves.

The young man's memories and background are clearly visible.

Ning Zhenzhen, who has reached adulthood, is at the Guanhai Realm and is the last disciple of the guardian of Bingge Mountain. This guardian is a Jindan sword cultivator and is now in seclusion to break through to the Yuanying Realm. Because Chi Jianzhou and the luck of swordsmanship conflict, Ning Zhenzhen took the initiative to accept the task of visiting the Pi Ma Sect at the mountain gate and go down the mountain. Whenever a sword cultivator appears in this lineage, he will feed his relics to Chi Jianzhou before he dies.

Jiang Yuan refined this magic weapon in an instant, and under the moonlight, Ning Zhenzhen successfully counterattacked. This magic of mirror flowers and water moons was the same as the Taoist method used on the Moon-Watching Mountain before.
