"Is this a place where people live?! It smells so bad!!"

Qi Ning's face was full of disgust.

The muddy road was in stark contrast to her delicate appearance.

"I told you a long time ago that I wouldn't let you come..." Bai Yu was helpless.

"Then you didn't say it smelled so bad here! It's so disgusting!" Qi Ning covered her nose, wanting to gag.

"Junior sister Qi, it's my fault. You should go back and wait for me."

Bai Yu smiled and apologized, and sent Qi Ning back to Fangshi, coaxing her along the way.

Although he has a good relationship with Qi Ning, there is a huge gap in identity, status, and qualifications between them, and he usually has to give in to her in everything.

It is true that Bai Yu has a golden-yang body, and the speed at which he can practice special metallic skills is comparable to that of a high-grade spiritual root, but his chance of breaking through is still the same as that of a mid-grade spiritual root.

Now that Master Cheng Ziyi and Master Qi Zhenren are paying attention to him, it should not be a problem for him to practice to build the foundation. Even if he fails once, there should be a second chance.

However, he didn't have much certainty further up.

Several of Master Qi's disciples and disciples have high-grade spiritual roots.

The most important reason why Qi Ning can become the most beloved granddaughter of her master is because she has high-grade water spiritual roots, and her spiritual root sensitivity is as high as 59 points, which is 1 point shy of the earth spiritual root.

Bai Yu has a clear self-understanding of himself.

His experiences as a child taught him how to observe words and emotions.

Anyone in Qi Zhenren's lineage can be offended, but Qi Ning cannot be offended.

Even if there is no real Master Qi, with Qi Ning's spiritual roots, the future is full of fake elixirs.

With Qi Zhenren's vigorous training, she is very likely to form a flawless golden elixir of the third grade and become a genuine golden elixir.

Even if Bai Yu couldn't become a Taoist companion with her, she still wanted to maintain a good relationship, at least not to offend her.

Otherwise, Danxia Sect may not have a foothold for him.

Under such a premise, no matter how close the eldest lady Qi Ning is to him, Bai Yu has to be cautious.

"Brother, did you live here before?"

Bai Yu walked on the muddy road in the shanty town, looking at the garbage dumped randomly in the alley and the feces left by unknown things, and couldn't help frowning.

Even the living environment of the Danxia Sect's handyman disciples is better than here.

Near the Jinhong Mountains where Danxia Mountain is located, there are several large mortal cities. Together, there are millions of mortals living there who are willing to do dirty work. There are many mortals cleaning and picking up excrement.

A Supreme Elder of the Nascent Soul Realm Realm of the Danxia Sect stands tall above him, followed by ten elders of the Golden Pill and False Pill realms.

There are two to three hundred foundation-building monks, and less than a thousand true disciples and inner disciples.

There are twenty to thirty thousand outer sect and handyman disciples left.

Many of these handyman disciples have spiritual roots, but their spiritual roots are too low. In order to stay in Danxia Mountain,

Only those who enjoy the spiritual energy on the mountain act as a handyman.

However, the handyman disciples mainly serve the inner disciples and a few outer disciples.

"The world of cultivating immortals...:"

Bai Yu felt the thin aura of the shantytown and sighed in his heart.

The reason why these casual cultivators are willing to live in such a dirty and messy environment is for this little spiritual energy.

If he left the Danxia Sect, his life would probably not be much better.

"I must... take a look at the scenery above..."

Bai Yu searched around the shantytown, but did not find Fang Xiu, so he immediately returned to the inner city.

"Little sister, I went to the shantytown to ask, but the elder brother didn't come back."

Bai Yu shook his head at Bai Jue.

"Then let's look for it in the city." Bai Jue nodded.

In the next few days, a group of five people searched the entire Anpingfang City, but could not find Fang Xiu.

The last time someone saw him was more than half a month ago.

"Is the eldest brother going out?" Bai Jue guessed.

"Going out? Are you hunting monsters?" Bai Yu pondered. He also participated in the sect's monster hunting team.

"The cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi refining goes out to hunt monsters...:" Su Lingyun frowned.

Based on her understanding of Fang Xiu, with such a low cultivation level, he would definitely not go out, and he probably wouldn't just find someone to form a team with.

"Do you think... will the eldest brother leave Fangshi and go back to the Yan Kingdom?" Bai's eyes lit up.

"During the auction some time ago, wasn't there a late-stage Qi Refining monk named Li Shan who bought a second-level life-extending pill? Maybe it was my eldest brother who was disguised!"

"This...should have the same name and surname." Bai Yu hesitated, "The name Li Shan is quite common.

The sect also has one. "

"I asked Senior Brother Wu from Baodanju, and he described his appearance. It really looks like Senior Brother." Su Lingyun analyzed.

"However, that person has been practicing at the sixth level of Qi refining a long time ago, and he has only recently broken through to the seventh level."

"That Li Shan spent nearly 3,000 spiritual stones at the auction to buy the Purple Condensation Pill and the second-level Life Extension Pill. He can't be the eldest brother." Bai Yu shook his head.

"Probably..." Su Lingyun nodded.

I am afraid that only those veteran Qi refining monks with rich wealth or those with a good background can take out three thousand spiritual stones in one go.

Because normal cultivation also requires spending spiritual stones.

Based on Fang Xiu's talisman-making skills, he could earn four to five hundred spiritual stones a year. However, excluding the spiritual stones consumed in cultivation, saving a hundred spiritual stones a year would be overwhelming.

And he only earned so many spiritual stones in the past two years.

"What if it's really the eldest brother?!" Bai insisted.

"Is it possible for low-grade spiritual roots to reach the seventh level of Qi refining in six years?" Bai Yu shook his head and laughed.

"I still believe in my elder brother..." Bai Jue was not confident enough. After arriving at Danxia Sect and seeing how difficult it was to cultivate immortality, she knew it was impossible, but she didn't want to give up.

"Whether it's true or not, we can go to the Broken Soul Mountains to find out. If not, go to Yan State." Qi Ning suddenly suggested after hearing what they said.

"Return to Yan State? That's a good idea!" Bai Jue was a little excited.

"This..." Bai Yu was a little moved.

"No!" Zhao Fengtian, who had been silent, spoke.

"Brother Zhao, why not?" Qi Ning was a little unhappy.

Zhao Fengtian explained: "The soul lamp of Wei, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion, went out. It happened when he went to the Broken Soul Mountains a few days ago.

In recent years, several second-level monsters have appeared in the Broken Soul Mountains, which are extremely dangerous!

Junior Sister Qi, Master asked me to protect your safety, and I can't let you take this risk."

"With you, Senior Brother Zhao, accompanying me, what is there to be afraid of? And I have the protective amulet given by my grandfather, so it's okay even if I encounter a second-level monster." Qi Ning didn't care and was full of confidence.

Zhao Fengtian shook his head and said firmly: "No means no. If Junior Sister Qi, you must go,

Then I can only ask the head master to escort you!"

Zhao Fengtian refused Qi Ning, but his eyes looked at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu looked at him and instantly understood what he meant.

The foundation-building master came to sit in the market, not to be their guard.

Even if the foundation-building master came out for the sake of Master Qi, it would seem that Bai Yu didn't know the general situation.

If he didn't dissuade Qi Ning and let her do what she wanted, he would still be responsible even if nothing happened.

If something happened, his future would be ruined.

"Forget it. The Soul-Breaking Mountains are so dangerous now. I believe that my brother will not be so irrational and take such a risk." Bai Yu said in a deep voice.

Even if he returned to Yan State, so what.

There are so many people around him. Except for himself, Bai Jue, Fang Xiu, Su Lingyun, and Ye Jin'er, almost all of them have no chance of building a foundation.

Now he has spent all his efforts just to take care of his younger sister Bai Jue's practice.

If Fang Xiu is really found, will he still have the energy to take care of her?

"Junior Sister Qi, the place in Yan State is a spiritual desert, very barren, and there is nothing to see. The environment of the Soul-Breaking Mountains may be worse than the shantytowns. Let's stay in the market. When we return to the sect, I will accompany you to the Hanhai Fairy City for a stroll. The scenery there is beautiful and very suitable for relaxing." Bai Yu advised again.

"Okay."

Qi Ning nodded. When she thought of the environment in the shantytown, she no longer had the heart to enter the Soul-Broken Mountains.

She had everything she wanted since she was a child, and she just wanted to experience the feeling of hunting monsters.

After Bai Yu persuaded Qi Ning, she was relieved and turned to look at her sister Bai Jue.

"Xiao Jue, let's wait in the market for another month, and then go back, okay?"

'Bai Jue hesitated for a moment. She really wanted to see Fang Xiu and Ye Jin'er again, but she also knew that Bai Yu was not easy.

"Yes, Xiao Jue, I believe that Brother Fang is a lucky person, and he will be fine even if he really enters the Soul-Broken Mountains." Su Lingyun also persuaded.

She had not spoken just now.

In Yan State, she was the heir of the Divine Weapon Valley and the lady of the Divine Weapon Shop, high and mighty.

In Danxia Sect, she was only Cheng Ziyi's registered disciple, and she was accepted for Bai Yu's sake.

Without Bai Yu's relationship, she didn't even have the qualifications to make friends with Qi Ning and Zhao Fengtian, so how could she dare to interrupt their proposal.

Su Lingyun wanted to see Fang Xiu again, but if he really entered the Broken Soul Mountains, he would probably be in danger.

She liked Fang Xiu back then mainly because of his life-saving grace, and he was the most outstanding man she had ever met, even unique.

But after entering the Danxia Sect, there were too many people with outstanding appearance, strong strength, and deep background.

Su Lingyun's feelings for Fang Xiu gradually faded away in her daily practice.

She is now devoted to seeking the truth, and just wants to find a glimmer of hope for foundation building.

Compared with cultivating immortals, the love between children is too light.

"Okay..." Bai Jue nodded, with a look of meaning on his face: "Brother, I shouldn't have made things difficult for you."

"Xiao Jue, don't say that, there is no such thing as difficulty, it's just that I'm too weak. I promise you, when I succeed in building my foundation, I will definitely take you back to Yan State to find my elder brother!" Bai Yu made a promise.

"Yes!" Bai Jue nodded heavily.

"Then we'll go home together to see..." Su Lingyun smiled.

As long as there is no confirmation, Fang Xiu may still be alive.

As for Ye Jin'er, none of the three mentioned it.

Since there is nothing they can do, why mention it again.

Bai Yu and the other five waited in Anping Market for another month, but still did not wait for Fang Xiu.

Because Fang Xiu at this time had passed through the Broken Soul Mountains, which were thousands of miles in radius, and appeared in the outer Yuntai Snow Mountain.

Fang Xiu stood on the top of the tall tree canopy, overlooking the wide plain in front of the continuous mountains.

"Finally out!"

Originally, he felt that even if he took a detour, he could return to Yan State in about a month.

As a result, half a month ago, when he was resting in the forest, he took out Wei Jiang's experience in refining weapons, and took out Lei Ji's wings and eyeballs to study what kind of magic weapon to make.

When he used his magic power to activate the weak lightning power contained in the material, he didn't know why he alarmed the two Lei Ji.

He used a small thunder bomb to collapse the cave.

The Thunder Falcons flew very fast and reacted even faster. Fang Xiu couldn't hit them at all and could only run away.

After that, Fang Xiu was chased by the pair of Thunder Falcons for seven or eight days. Although he managed to get rid of them, he also took the wrong road.

In the end, he walked for an extra half month before walking out of the Broken Soul Mountain Range and returned to the Yan Kingdom.

Fang Xiu felt the thin spiritual energy in the space and frowned slightly.

No wonder no immortal cultivator is willing to come here. After reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, his perception of spiritual energy becomes even more acute.

If there is too little spiritual energy in the space, there will be a feeling of depression and discomfort.

In this environment, if there are no spirit stones, let alone cultivation, it would be good to ensure that the cultivation level does not regress.

Fortunately, he brought back a lot of spiritual stones this time, and Gui Shura and Wei Jiang generously sponsored a large amount of spiritual stones.

It was enough for him to practice normally for ten years.

"If you put two legs together, you can fly. It's still a big disadvantage."

Fang Xiu jumped off the tree crown. With the blessing of wind control, he was very fast, but when he thought about being chased by two thunder falcons in the forest for seven or eight days, he became a little angry.

"You still have to practice your sword skills more diligently!"

The Taiqing Sword Sect focuses on sword cultivation. As a top-grade fire-attribute skill, "Red Fire Kung Fu" also comes with a "Red Fire Kung Fu".

"Red Fire Sword Technique" can be taken out for practice alone.

The first realm of swordsmanship is that the sword light condenses into energy, the second realm is when the sword energy condenses into a sword, and the third realm is when the sword energy becomes a rainbow.

Sword cultivators who have reached the third realm are all well-known in the world of immortality.

Because Jian Hong integrates offense and defense, after the sword cultivator is wrapped by Jian Hong, his speed is much higher than that of the same level.

The Taiqing Sword Sect once had a sword cultivator who was at the peak of pill formation, and he managed to escape from the hands of a Nascent Soul True Lord by relying on the speed of his sword turning into a rainbow.

The gap between Jiedan and Yuanying may be greater than the gap between mortals and Jiedan.

A realm is the difference between heaven and earth.

Of course, in the history of the world of immortality, it is not that there have been situations where Master Jiedan counterattacked and killed Master Nascent Soul, but the premise is that many factors are superimposed.

When both sides are in good condition, the only one who can throw away True Monarch Nascent Soul with his speed at the stage of pill formation is the only one who can do this extremely well.

While Fang Xiu was on the road, he tried to practice the "Red Fire Sword Art" and found that the key to condensing the sword's energy lies in the word "condensation".

Running mana according to the route of the Red Fire Sword Art can indeed make the mana more condensed, with fire attribute power.

But the fire attribute is much more domineering than the wood attribute and is difficult to control.

However, Fang Xiu relied on his external power to break through the penetrating ability after refining the internal organs, and coupled with the harmonious, strong and soft Gang Jin, he successfully compressed the red fire sword light and condensed the real sword energy.

The sword energy gathered on the Red Star Iron Sword Embryo, not only the power was greatly increased, but the speed was also significantly improved.

It's just that he didn't dare to fly with a sword in the Broken Soul Mountain Range.

Now that it's out, he wants to give it a try.

call out!

Fang Xiu made a sword gesture with his hand, and a ray of red light burst out from the storage bag, turning into a giant sword the size of a door panel. It was the embryo of the Red Star Iron Sword.

Fang Xiu gently stroked the blade of the sword, and it seemed that there was a reaction, and the aura of the sword became stronger.

There was a feeling of blood connection.
