Eternal Tranquility

Liang Jinghuan's depressed look these days was gone, and she said with great interest: "This island is so big, and the spiritual energy is richer than other places. Maybe we can find spiritual veins."

Liu Qinghuan smiled lightly and said seriously: "It is better to make sure that the island is not in danger before taking a rest. The island is really not small."

At least at first glance, the island is full of undulating mountains and peaks, and you can't see the other side.

The two of them walked towards the woods behind the beach in a happy mood but without losing their vigilance, talking and laughing along the way.

Liang Jing'an refused to fly, shouting that he couldn't bear to leave the solid ground with his feet, which made Liu Qinghuan burst into laughter.

Because it is covered by tall trees, the forest is very empty with only some short shrubs growing, so it is very convenient to walk. Occasionally, there are small monsters that poke their heads out, nibbling berries in the bushes.

Liang Jing'an got so playful that she chased a small deer and ran away in panic, bursting into laughter.

However, he soon forgot to continue playing with those little monsters, because Liu Qinghuan had picked several spiritual grasses in succession.

"Hehe, we didn't break into some spiritual island, did we?"

"It's just a few ordinary elixirs, but..." Liu Qinghuan said, shaking the soil from the roots of the elixirs he had just collected, and looking deeply into the depths of the island: "However, there are several people who have appeared in such a short time. "Zhu, this frequency is too high, let's speed up and explore inside."

Liang Jing'an became interested and no longer insisted on having his feet in close contact with the ground. The two raised their bodies and strode towards the inner island.

Thin mist floats gently in the forest, with deep and shallow greenery, interspersed with wild flowers and fruits of various colors. Under the rare bright and warm sunshine, the entire island is like a paradise in the world, quiet and peaceful.

We have just climbed over a small hillside. Below is a small valley, and further ahead is a tall and steep mountain.

Liang Jing'an looked down, his expression changed. He was confused at first, then surprised, and finally became excited: "Nine-leaf Purple Yun Ginseng!"

Liu Qinghuan's face was also full of surprises. On the top of the mountain wall, more than ten feet away, there was a graceful spiritual grass swaying in the breeze. On top of nine oval leaves clustered together, there was a beautiful elixir-like flower. The crane-like crown feathers are shrouded in a hazy purple halo.

Nine-leaf Ziyun Ginseng is the main elixir for refining the Nine-Aperture Yang Divine Pill, and the Nine-Aperture Yang Divine Pill is the best elixir to help monks successfully conceive babies!

Liu Qinghuan had already collected all the other elixirs and materials of Jiuqiaoyang Shendan, but he could not find the most precious main elixir. He did not expect to see one here, and he was really overjoyed.

Look at this nine-leaf purple ginseng, with seven beads on the crown, it is already very old.

After Liang Jing'an yelled, he rushed over regardless of it.

Liu Qinghuan's expression changed, his consciousness swept away, and he hurriedly shouted: "Brother Liang, don't want it, there is a guardian monster!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a dark shadow suddenly emerge from behind a big tree next to the nine-leaf purple salvia. The sharp light flashed in the sunlight and pounced towards Liang Jing'an silently.

Liang Jing'an was startled, turned around, twisted sideways and rolled out, and felt an extremely sharp sword energy flying past him!

The approaching black shadow raised a claw and struck at the sword energy without fear. However, the Eight-Character Sword Breaking Technique is like a sharp vertebra that can pierce the space. How can it be easily blocked? Just listen to that The monster roared in pain, and a shallow blood mark appeared on its claws.

Liu Qinghuan was surprised when he saw this result. He thought that this sword could cut off the opponent's claws, but he didn't expect that it only had an extremely weak effect.

The monster opposite had swung its tail and stopped steadily in front of the Nine-leaf Purple Salvia, and let out a low roar at the two of them, showing a threatening tone.

I saw that it had thick legs, long arms, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. It obviously looked like a black ape, but it had a weird thick and long snake tail, and a pair of blood-red eyes that were extremely fierce.

"Level 4 monster!"

Liu Qinghuan exclaimed and took a few steps back.

Liang Jing'an turned back to his side, and his face immediately turned pale: "Fourth level monster?!"

No! The powerful pressure coming from the snake-tailed black ape actually made people feel like they were fighting and unable to lift their heads.

The scene fell into a depressing silence for a moment. The snake-tailed black ape squinted his two red eyes, turned his gaze on the two people, and then fixed on Liu Qinghuan.

It raised an arm and licked the scar on the back of its hand, a look of contemptuous anger on its face.

Liang Jing'an didn't dare to move, and mumbled a few words from the corner of her mouth: "What should I do?"

Liu Qinghuan was locked with the other party's eyes. He stared back coldly and said through a message: "It's impossible to leave now. Either fight or die!"

Liang Jing'an trembled: "That's a fourth-level monster, equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of our monks. How do you fight it?"

Although he is also in the late stage of Golden Core, he knows that he is too powerful to fight against a fourth-level monster.

At this time, the snake-tailed black ape's cold eyes flashed slightly, and his upper body suddenly pressed forward!

"Fight with your life!"

Liu Qinghuan roared violently, and the Jingwei sword beside him roared into a giant sword, slashing out a majestic sword energy like a rainbow!

And the snake-tailed black ape also let out a roar, swung its tail on the hard rock, and its body was like a bolt of lightning, facing the vast sword energy. Black light came out from a pair of big palms, and it shot out continuously, and it was actually The sword energy was scattered everywhere, and another punch hit Jingwei's sword that had reached the top of his head.

Liu Qinghuan's expression was cold and solemn, and the sword technique in his hand changed. Jingwei's sword swayed, dodging the seemingly powerful fist wind, and disappeared into the void in a blink of an eye. At the same time, his consciousness condensed into an invisible thick whip, which struck fiercely. The ground was pulled out.

The snake-tailed black ape had clear contempt on his face. He seemed to have seen through the disappearing trajectory of the Jingwei Sword. He punched directly, causing a stir in the void. The Jingwei Sword swayed and appeared, but he was unprepared for being whipped by the divine consciousness. He gave me a hard slap, held his head and rolled out.

Liu Qinghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure put on him by the other party was very huge. Now it seems that due to the difference in cultivation between the two, the Sword Art can no longer cause too much damage to the other party. Fortunately, the Jiutian Divination Technique directly affects the attack on the consciousness. Still useful.

The spiritual consciousness of monsters is much lower than that of monks, so even if the snake-tailed black ape has reached the fourth level, compared with the strength of Liu Qinghuan's spiritual consciousness which is almost the same as that of ordinary Nascent Soul monks, it will inevitably fall behind.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he moved a little closer to his eyebrows, and a gray light appeared. The sword of life and death flew out and was caught by him. Black energy surged out from his body, and the death domain spread out at an extremely fast speed. He shouted: " Brother Liang, get out of here quickly!”

Having been together for so long, Liang Jing'an knew that Liu Qinghuan was much stronger than him, but at this time, he was frightened by the various methods he used in an instant, especially when the other party used the magical power of the sword domain, his eyes widened.

Hearing Liu Qinghuan's shouting, he knew that staying here would only become a burden, so he stepped back quickly: "Brother Liu, if you want help, just speak, I'll be waiting outside!"

After a while, the entire valley was completely covered by the ink-like black air. It was as quiet as if there was nothing inside, but Liang Jing'an, who was far away, felt trembling with fear.

Brother Liu actually understood the magical power of the sword domain!

So far, he has not met many monks who can understand this magical power. Which one does not have excellent understanding and qualifications, but he did not expect Liu Qinghuan to hide it so deeply.

In the magical power of the sword domain, the monk is the master, his strength is almost doubled, and he can control everything in the inner domain. He couldn't help but feel a little more confident. Maybe he could really defeat the fourth-level monster?

However, there was deathly silence in the valley, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside. The more Liang Jing'an waited, the more anxious she became, but she did not dare to get even half a step closer. She could only go back and forth, letting the uneasiness agitate her mind.

The only thing that allowed him to stop was that the sword domain had always existed, which meant that Liu Qinghuan had not yet died at the hands of that weird-looking monster.

Time passed by little by little, and as the red sun set in the west, the valley suddenly shook violently, and the black air that had been calm was churning violently like boiling water.

Liang Jing'an was at a loss for words, holding a seal in her left hand and a fan in her right hand, all on guard.

Not long after, with an earth-shattering crash, a black shadow jumped out, who was it if it wasn't the snake-tailed black ape?

However, compared with its majestic appearance before, the snake-tailed black ape was now in a very embarrassed state. The black hair on its body seemed to have been burned, and patches of baldness were missing. The snake's tail was broken, one of its arms was missing, and even One eye is also blind.

However, this black ape is indeed worthy of being a fourth-order monster, and it can actually break through the sword field and rush out.

Liang Jing'an knew something was wrong. She was afraid that the black ape was trying to escape, so she couldn't help shouting. Fan Tianyin flew out and slapped its head as hard as a mountain pressing down on it. The black ape screamed in pain. , the hurried movement was immediately blocked.

However, it is a fourth-level monster after all. The monster body is extremely powerful. It howled in annoyance and struck the Fantian Seal horizontally with its still-existing arm. There was only a loud bang and the Fantian Seal was sealed. It was a big palm, cracks appeared immediately, and it was about to be destroyed.

Before Liang Jing'an had time to feel distressed that the most convenient magical weapon was destroyed like this, he saw a thrilling golden light rising into the sky from the sword field!

"Wow!"

Liang Jing'an exclaimed, seeing fear in the snake-tailed black ape's eyes, and trying to escape as if his butt was on fire, he raised the ugly-looking banana leaf fan in his hand, and fanned it downwards!

"Wow!"

Not everyone is lucky enough to see the scene of Jin Dan killing Yuanying. Liang Jing'an felt that he was in a feast today. He watched the golden sword energy kill the inevitable snake-tailed black ape with one blow, and couldn't help but wowed a few times. Voice.

The sword domain receded like a tide, and Liu Qinghuan, who was full of murderous intent, walked out slowly, holding a black and silver scabbard in his hand.

Scabbard?

Liang Jing'an suspected that he had poor eyesight, but when he wanted to take a closer look, the other party had already put away his eyes, so he had to give up.

"Hahaha, Brother Liu, good job!" Liang Jing'an was almost happier than he had won. He rushed forward and tried to pat his shoulder as hard as before, but in the end he was intimidated by his unyielding momentum and did not dare. Reach out.

Liu Qinghuan slowly exhaled, and the cold aura on his body gradually disappeared, and he slowly turned back into the slightly cold but calm and low-key ordinary monk he usually was.

He smiled slightly, reached out and climbed over, jokingly: "Brother Liang, if you hadn't been outside to help block the road, the black ape would have escaped."

Liang Jing'an grinned: "Don't be ashamed of me. I can still twist how many pounds I have."

Liu Qinghuan didn't say much: "Let's go pick the nine-leaf purple ginseng that we finally fought for!"

The two of them ran back to the valley and came to the elixir lingering with purple energy on the mountain wall. After some careful digging, the entire ginseng root was dug out completely.

Liang Jing'an said in surprise: "It's so big. I'm afraid it must be seven or eight hundred years old. That black-haired monkey can actually resist eating it."

Liu Qinghuan pointed to the seven purple beads on its head and said: "The medicinal effect is best when this ginseng forms nine beads."

Liang Jing'an glanced at it longingly again, swallowed, and turned around: "Put it away quickly. Once you dig it out, the aroma will come out. I'm afraid it will attract other monsters."

Liu Qinghuan was a little surprised. After a pause, he said, "You don't want it? We can take half of it each."

"Brother Liu, you are looking down on me when you say that!" Liang Jing'an feigned anger: "You killed the monster and the power was all yours. If I come to fight with you now, who am I? I, Liang Although Jing’an is not a gentleman, he can’t do such a thing!”

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while and said, "That's fine. There seems to be a lot of elixirs on this island. Next time, I'll let Brother Liang choose first."

Liang Jing'an laughed: "You don't have to wait until next time, there might be one here."

He turned his mouth to the side and saw a hidden cave behind a big tree growing on the cliff, which was where the snake-tailed black ape lived.

Liu Qinghuan's consciousness had already reached in and scanned it, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, just go in, I won't go."

Apes or monkey monsters are inherently smarter than ordinary monsters, and they have the habit of collecting and hoarding items, so there are quite a lot of things inside.

He glanced around and saw some shriveled spiritual grass and a few pieces of spiritual minerals, which were only better than nothing.

It's just so dirty that you can smell a faint stench even when standing outside the cave.

Liang Jing'an chuckled, but he was a little excited. He ducked into the hole and rummaged inside for a long time before coming out.

Liu Qinghuan simply sat cross-legged on the big tree outside the cave, holding the spiritual stone in his hand to restore his spiritual power.

In the battle just now, he had consumed a lot of energy. Not only did he have to support the entire sword domain, but the last sword slash he made with the Tainan Immortal Sword scabbard had already drained his spiritual energy to the brink of danger.

When Liang Jing'an found out, he saw Liu Qinghuan meditating, so he didn't bother him and found a tree branch to lie down on.

The next day, after a night's rest, the two of them felt refreshed and continued to explore the island.

The closer you get to the center of the island, the more steep and beautiful the mountains become. The white-washed waterfalls are flowing down, majestic and spectacular, and there are gorgeous rainbows hanging above the mist, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

So when the two of them climbed over a tall mountain peak, they were stunned by the sudden appearance of the huge palace ruins!
