Within the Xuanyuan Small World, Zhang Yan stood in front of a huge mountain that looked like a screen. Below him was a fire vent. According to his will, the place was shaped like a furnace made of earth and stone.
The dragon heart was hovering above the flames, and it had already returned to its original size of 1,000 feet. There was a huge hole in the sky, and turbulent streams of air were pouring down from it, constantly washing away the smoke and turbid air that had risen up from below.
As spiritual vigor poured in, the dragon heart started to beat slowly. One could hear the sound of blood surging as if it was alive.
Although the treasure embryo was maintained by the Taoist who guarded the cave, it was still contaminated with some external air, which was not beneficial for future refinement. What he wanted to do now was to wash away the impurities and reach a clean and untainted state.
It had been seven years since the item was placed here. After his method, it finally got rid of the excess in the past and regained its vitality. Even the heartbeat was stronger and calmer than before.
After a few more days, the heartbeat became more and more urgent. The thumping sound was like the beating of a drum, shaking the valley. Even the rising flames seemed to be higher.
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. He knew that he was about to succeed.
The more he got to this point, the more crucial it was. If something went wrong, it wouldn't be a waste of all his previous efforts, but it wouldn't be easy to achieve such perfection. Luckily, he had observed the four Refinement Tablets and figured out all the steps clearly. Moreover, he was in the small world, so he would notice immediately if there were any abnormalities, so he wasn't afraid of any accidents.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. There were no more sounds and the dragon heart seemed to have calmed down. It wasn't that it stopped beating, but from then on, it would rise and fall for years. Hence, he couldn't feel any movement in the short term.
Zhang Yan nodded. At this point, the treasure embryo could be considered to have been refined thoroughly and he could move on to the next step.
He wasn't in a hurry to refine this treasure. He could leave it here to nourish for a few more days so that it would be more compatible with this world.
He turned around and walked a few steps before sitting down on a jade couch and starting to cultivate.
As for how to enter the second stage, he had read through many secret manuals. Among them were the inheritance from the Qincang School and the secret manuals from the Jun Chen Realm. He already had a plan in his heart. As long as he accumulated enough cultivation, he could try to sever his past body.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly felt something. He opened his eyes and saw Child of Mountain River appearing in front of him. He asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The Mountain River Boy bowed and said, "Master, Meng Zhen sent someone to report that Daoist Master Wei's disciple has already arrived at the Horn Flower Realm. Everything is still stable."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Did Meng Zhen say anything about the situation in that realm?"
The Mountain River Boy said, "He did say a little." He waved his hand and a jade scroll flew out of thin air. He bowed and handed it forward, "I have already roughly recorded it."
Zhang Yan used his mind and the jade scroll turned into specks of spirit light and flew into the space between his eyebrows. After a while, he had an idea of what was going on.
The level of a realm could be roughly seen from the rise and fall of spirit vigor. The Horn Flower Realm's spirit vigor was declining. Based on the cultivators of this realm, it would be very difficult to reach the same level as the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, the mysterious disappearance of Lu Lu might not be that simple.
Fortunately, although Wei Zihong's disciple in name only had the cultivation of Yuanying, his true body was a cloud whale. Even if he encountered danger, he could escape through the void. Back then, dozens of cloud whale tribes also used this method to escape. As long as he acted cautiously, this method should be enough to deal with it. He just needed to wait patiently for the results.
He thought for a while and said, "Tell the people outside to pay attention to this matter. If there is any news, report to me quickly."
Mountain River Child said, "I accept your orders." He bowed and left.
Horn Flower Realm, Lin Chuan Du, Lou Dan Academy.
In a courtyard of the academy, Xiao Wu was trying out a set of three secret techniques that he had learned Just Now. Between his punches and kicks, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, accompanied by a faint fiery glow.
It had been half a year since he was brought here by Yun Jiang.
With Yun Jiang's help, he had successfully entered the Blood Fusion Gate and successfully entered the academy.
He had once almost been unable to cultivate, so he especially cherished this hard-won opportunity. For the past few months, he had been unusually diligent, vaguely feeling that he could break through again.
If he wanted to go further, he would need to find a way to break through the Yang Gate.
From there, martial arts cultivators could use secret techniques to induce all kinds of magical abilities that only ferocious demons and monsters possessed.
As for the level of magical abilities, it depended on what kind of demon the blood was fused with. Even the blood of the same kind could be divided into different levels.
For example, the Lin Clan, one of the 17 families of Lin Chuan Du's nine families, fused with the blood came from the Sun Crown Mystic Winged Fish, and it was taken from the Fish King.
It was said that the Lin Clan and the Thousand Year Fish Monster had reached a tacit understanding. Every year, they would send a large number of sacrifices, and every fifteen years, the direct descendants of the Lin Clan could go and collect their blood. So once they entered the Yang Gate, one could imagine how powerful they would be.
Every time Hanwu thought of this, he felt envious, but at the same time, he was also a little proud. Although his family background was not comparable, he had a good teacher, so he was not necessarily worse than those people.
After finishing his training, he returned to his room, wiped his sweat, changed into clean clothes, picked up a book, opened a few pages, and began to read aloud.
Lin Chuan Du was the capital of An Kingdom. There were many academies here, and martial arts were flourishing. But it also paid attention to the administration of culture, and those who were talented in both literature and martial arts were especially valued by the imperial court.
Moreover, those who did not understand the principles and had shallow knowledge could not reach the upper realm by relying on brute force. Even if they had some achievements, they could only be controlled by others, not controlled by others.
Just Now, after he read a few pages, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and a panicked voice said, "Brother Han, are you here? Quickly open the door, my life is at stake, my life is at stake!"
Hanwu got off the bed, opened the door, and saw a young man in his twenties, although he was wearing the uniform of the academy, his face was full of beard, and he was tall and sturdy. "So it's Chief Chen, I don't know …"
Chief Chen grabbed his hand and said anxiously, "what do you know, someone is looking for trouble everywhere, quickly come with me."
Hanwu said, "wait, my book is still on the table."
Chief Chen pulled him out of the room and said, "what time is it, why are you still bringing a book?
Hanwu had no choice but to follow him out, and asked, "Chief Chen, even if you want me to leave, you should at least tell me who is looking for trouble with me."
Chief Chen sighed, "don't ask anymore, this is not just your problem, do you have a place to stay outside the academy?"
Hanwu said, "I have a place, it's an elder's house."
Chief Chen said, "that's good, although I can arrange it for you, I'm afraid it's not safe now. Remember not to go back to the academy for the next few days, hide for ten days or half a month, and when Ding Shan comes back, you won't have to worry about them anymore."
Hanwu realized that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, but he was a little confused. Since he entered the academy, he only knew a few people, and he didn't offend anyone. After a few questions, Chief Chen finally relaxed. He looked around and saw that no one was following him, he sighed and said, "sometimes you don't provoke others, but it doesn't mean that others won't provoke you. I heard that you won first place in the internal exam a few days ago, is that true?"
Hanwu said, "is there anything wrong with it?"
This was something he was very proud of. After the Blood Fusing Poison was cured, his cultivation speed became faster and faster. It was as if he was changing every day.
However, he didn't know that Yun Jiang had personally hunted sixteen greater demons and fused their bloodline essences into his body so that he could smoothly enter the academy. She was afraid that he wouldn't be able to compete with his peers, so Yun Jiang had personally hunted sixteen greater demons and fused their bloodline essences into his body. Even the great imperial family probably didn't have such a deep foundation.
Chief Chen sneered, "what's wrong with it? It's very wrong! Do you know why there hasn't been a student from a poor family who won first place in the internal exam for so many years? Is it because they are not good enough? No, it's just because they don't dare to get first place. "
Hanwu's expression tightened. There were many people in the institute who didn't show their strength, but in fact, they were the descendants of important ministers in the imperial court. There were even a few who came from big families like the Nine Families and the Seventeen Families. When he thought that he might have broken some tacit rules, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Chief Chen squinted at him and said, "do you understand now?" Then he sighed and said, "it's my fault that I didn't inform you in advance. But who would have thought that those who could compete for first place in the past would have already shown their extraordinary talent. Those people would send people to inform you, and then they would come up with conditions to exchange, or they would simply make you not participate in the competition. Don't you believe me, they have a lot of methods, but you are a variable."
Hanwu was also silent. He wanted to make a name for himself and make his teacher and people happy. But who would have thought that there was such a deep water behind him.
At this time, the two of them had already arrived at the top of a hill. Station Elder Chen let out a sigh of relief and said, "If we go down from here, we'll be able to leave the Institute. Brother Han, I'll send you off here, you must remember what I said."
Hanwu said, "thank you, Chief Chen, I will go now."
Chief Chen said, "don't say anything, let's go!"
But at this moment, he heard a sneer. "Go? Do you think it's that easy? "
The two of them were shocked. They turned around and saw a dozen people walking out from the forest not far away. The leader was a head taller than ordinary people, his body was strong, and his hands and feet were very thick. He looked like a human bear.
Chief Chen's expression changed, "Ying Shuyu?"
Ying Shuyu mocked, "Chief Feng's calculation is really accurate. As long as we let out the news, Chen Gai, you will quickly run out with your people. If you hide in the academy, it will be really hard for us to attack."
Chief Chen's face became even uglier. It turned out that he had fallen into a trap. Not only was he not as strong as the opponent, but he also failed to see through such a simple trap.
Ying Shuyu looked at Hanwu and said, "just a little kid from a small place, and he wants to be in the same class as the men of Chiling Mountain, what a joke!"
Hanwu calmed down at this moment. Except for Ying Shuyu, who he could not see through, it was very likely that he had already reached the Moving Yang Gate. He was not afraid of the others, and it might not be a dead end. He secretly clenched his fist, "who cares who he is, where he came from, let's fight him first!"
Chief Chen said with emotion, "brother Ying, you are wrong. When the academy was first established, the current Wulie Emperor had left a message under the snow pine in front of the door: 'Eight rivers and ten mountains, share peace, all the people in the world, enjoy the emperor's grace'. This meant that no matter if it was a scholar or a commoner, they were all the emperor's people, and they could all enter the academy to study. Brother Bo Yu, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"
Ying Shuyu snorted. His eloquence was not as good as the other party, and he could not continue the conversation. He also reacted quickly and immediately said, "don't care about these useless things, come, go! Just knock Chen Gai unconscious, break that kid's hands and legs, remember to keep him alive, the few chiefs still need him to remind those who do not have a good memory. "
