"Senior Brother Luo, it really puts Junior Brother at ease that you can come here to guard.
The monks here are all from the Hidden Moon Sect and the Huadaowu Sect. There is only one junior brother among the monks in Huang Maple Valley. Although those few are usually polite, there are still some differences between the sects."
Han Li led Luo Hong to his temporary residence here, smiling happily as he walked.
Thinking back to the time when he finally escaped the pursuit of Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, he wanted to return to Yellow Maple Valley to report the news, but was intercepted by Xuan Le on the way. He came here to guard the Lingshi Mine with a group of strange monks from other sects, but he was always worried in his heart.
Uneasy.
Now that Luo Hong is here, he can take care of her.
"I voluntarily petitioned to come here to guard it, and it is precisely because you are here, Junior Brother Han. In these troubled times, we senior brothers must support each other."
Luo Hong said with a hint of meaning.
"That's natural! By the way, Senior Brother Luo has just come out of the sect. Do you know the recent war situation between the seven sects of our Yue Kingdom and the six sects of the Demonic Dao?"
Han Li asked Luo Hong to sit down, and after pouring a cup of tea, he asked eagerly.
Luo Hong smiled secretly in his heart, Old Mo Han was thinking about running away.
"The border is already tense. All factions are adding manpower, and a war will surely break out soon. Compared to the frontal battlefield, which is destined to be tragic, our place here is really a blessing."
"Senior Brother Luo, do you think the border can be defended? Junior Brother learned from the classics that the Six Demonic Sects are huge, and their power is infinitely greater than our Seven Yue Sects!"
Han Li became worried when he thought about this. How could the eggs be intact after the nest was overturned? The demon cultivators were all cruel and ruthless, making it even harder to deal with them.
"Although our seven sects are far different in strength from the six demon sects, with the several forbidden formations at the border, there is no problem in holding on for a while.
By then, the two countries Yuanwu and Zijin, which are adjacent to our Yue country in the realm of immortality, will definitely come to help us. After all, everyone knows the truth of death and coldness.
In this way, the gap in strength between the two sides will not be so big, and it is estimated that they will fall into a protracted war. Both sides will start to use various conspiracies and tricks, and the victory or defeat will depend on whose skills are superior.
These things have nothing to do with us. Instead of worrying about the Yuanying Patriarchs, we should think more about how to save our lives."
Luo Hong relied on foresight and analyzed his strength, frightening Old Mo Han, who was still unclear about the situation, into a daze and nodded repeatedly.
"What Senior Brother Luo said is true. When he was in the Qi Refining Stage, he felt that the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage were the mainstay of the sect. It was only after he built the Foundation that he realized that the monks in the Pill Formation Stage were the foundation of the sect, and all those under the Nascent Soul were just ants.
I can't control the victory of the great battle, but my life is in my own hands!"
Han Li frowned and said in a deep voice, and took a sip of tea, thinking that he would refine more puppets, so that they would be able to fight even when faced with the siege of many foundation-building demon cultivators.
"Haha, it's good that Junior Brother Han understands. Senior Brother, there is something that needs to be discussed with Junior Brother. I heard that Senior Brother Ye was poisoned to death in Junior Brother's Cave Formation. The Dayan Art of Qianzhu Cult must have been in Junior Brother's cave formation.
Take it in your hand."
Luo Hong smiled, took a sip of tea, and then saw Old Demon Han nervously moving his butt back.
"Junior brother, don't be nervous. I don't have any friendship with Senior Brother Ye. On the contrary, I have some hatred. When I see this thing, I will know that what I said is true."
Han Li took the jade slip, glanced at Luo Hong hesitantly, and then put his consciousness into it. After a moment, he withdrew with a strange look on his face.
"Junior brother, you understand, senior brother, I was severely tricked by that man surnamed Ye, and I spent hundreds of spiritual stones to buy back a tampered technique!
If junior brother is willing to trade the real Dayan Jue, these things can all belong to junior brother!"
Luo Hong looked depressed, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned seven or eight dark vials from the treasure bag.
"I never thought that being as smart as my senior brother would sometimes lead to losses."
Han Li put down the jade slip with a smile, picked up a small black bottle, opened the cap and looked inside, his eyes widened immediately.
"These are all monster spirits?!"
"Hey, is this what Junior Brother Han needs urgently?"
Luo Hong looked at Old Mo Han's surprised expression with interest.
"It seems that Senior Brother Luo is well prepared and must obtain the Dayan Jue, but these words alone are still not enough. After all, the Dayan Jue in Junior Brother's hand has four levels."
Han Li was not surprised that Senior Brother Luo knew that he wanted to refine puppets, because the jade slips he had just read recorded several methods for refining first- and second-level puppets.
"Fourth level? That's not enough. I'll add this talisman."
After Luo Hong pretended to be surprised, he took out a Spirit Turtle Escape Talisman with a smile.
...
A month later, Han Li was on duty in the Four Evil Formation, releasing his spiritual consciousness to explore over and over again. This work was boring and boring, but he did it very seriously.
After all, if a demonic cultivator sneaks in, the first one to suffer will be a cultivator on duty like him. For the sake of his own life, he has to take it seriously.
"Junior Brother Han, is there something wrong?"
Xuan Le's voice suddenly reached his ears, but Han Li had already detected him with his spiritual consciousness, so he was not frightened. He immediately shook his head and responded:
"everything is normal."
"Well, recently the spirit stone mine guarded by Senior Brother Huang and others was attacked by demonic cultivators, so we must be more careful here.
By the way, Junior Brother Luo hasn't come out of seclusion yet? It's so easy to break through in the middle stage of foundation building. Junior Brother, you can't always take over his duties!"
When Xuan Le talked about Luo Hong, he was a little angry. This person was far less knowledgeable than Junior Brother Han. In such a dangerous place, he actually practiced in seclusion in an attempt to break through the realm. It really made him dumbfounded.
Originally, Junior Brother Han Li had already taken over the duty of guarding this person, and he didn't want to say anything more, but the situation was tense now, and the demonic cultivators would attack at any time. Luo Hong, an important combat force, could no longer sit idle!
"Senior Brother Luo said that it's only been these two days. He must not continue to retreat even if he fails to break through successfully."
Han Li smiled bitterly. He never thought that Luo Hong would be so bold. They seemed to be deep in the hinterland of the Yue Kingdom, but in fact they were far away from the sect's forces, isolated and helpless, and the level of threats they faced was equivalent to being under the nose of a demon cultivator.
One month ago, when Luo Hong made the request, he also wanted to object, but... senior brother's talisman is really good!
Han Li silently touched the talisman attached to his chest under the clothes.
"Hmph! You should have died a long time ago! Guarding the spirit stone mine is no child's play!"
Before Xuan Le finished speaking, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy came from inside the Lingshi Mine, which shocked the nearby Qi Refining Stage disciples and quickly went over to check.
As a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, Xuan Le was the clearest about the visions experienced by the Foundation Establishment monks when they broke through. He immediately murmured with a red face:
"I actually made a breakthrough! Ahem, Junior Brother Han, it looks like you have to work harder for a few more days. Junior Brother Luo has just made a breakthrough and needs to meditate for a few more days to stabilize his state."
After saying that, Xuan Le, who felt his face was burning and hurting, turned around and left.
Han Li watched him leave and shook his head with a chuckle. He had great confidence in Luo Hong. His senior brother could never do anything he said he couldn't do.
After getting along with each other for these years, Han Li could also feel that Luo Hong was hiding some secrets, either a valuable treasure like a vial, or some kind of powerful inheritance.
This made Han Li feel a lot more relaxed when getting along with him, because he would not easily pry into other people's secrets when he had his own secrets.
Senior Brother Luo is so cautious, so he naturally thinks so.
.....
In the stone chamber of the mine, Luo Hong stood up after withdrawing his power. The leap in his life level made him feel so relaxed that he even had the urge to roar.
"We are in the middle stage of foundation building. Although it is a bit slower than expected, it does not delay things. Now, just wait for the demonic attack in half a year, and we can find the location of the ancient teleportation array."
Luo Hong's main purpose of coming here is not to trade Dayan Jue with Old Demon Han, but for the ancient teleportation array leading to the Sea of Chaotic Stars.
The main reason why he wanted to go to the Sea of Chaos Stars was not to escape the war, but for the resources of the Sea of Chaos Stars that were indispensable to him now.
After obtaining the Evil Demon Bead from Liu Jing, all the materials for setting up the Five Evil Spirit Gathering Array are complete, and the only thing left is the location for setting up the array.
The formation designed by Luo Hong is not a simple thing that can take effect as soon as the formation disk is set and the formation flag is inserted. It is a large formation that truly drives the aura of heaven and earth, with a huge range.
In order to gather the basic materials for the formation, Luo Hong spent half of his spiritual stones. If he had not obtained the Ten Thousand Treasure Bag, he would now be the Nine-Pocket Elder of the Beggar Clan.
The requirements for the place where the formation is set up are actually not strict. They just need to be organized and not too poor in spiritual veins. It is best to be secluded. After all, there will be a lot of movement when the formation is activated.
However, this simple condition is impossible to achieve in Tiannan!
The Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World is densely populated, and any spiritual vein that can be seen is occupied by Immortal Cultivation Families.
These cultivating families may not be strong, but they all rely on the powerful local sects, and they are definitely not something that a mere foundation-building monk from Luo Hong can humiliate.
The Chaos Star Sea is different. It is vast and sparsely populated, and there are countless uninhabited islands with spiritual veins overseas. As long as Luo Hong is not too unlucky, no one can find them even if Luo Hong causes catastrophes.
Therefore, Luo Hong must go to this chaotic star sea.
"However, before I leave, I still have some things to do. At least, the jade slip of the Great Five Elements Holy Technique must be unsealed. Otherwise, when I come back, if all the descendants of the Qian family are dead, it will be difficult.
.”
Luo Hong was thinking like this, put away the protective array, pushed open the stone door and walked out.
In the days that followed, Luo Hong began to take turns taking turns in the formation as a normal guarding disciple.
When resting, he would practice the Dayan Technique and the twelve new acupuncture points, and in private he would learn the Great Sun Blue Devil Technique.
Naturally, Luo Hong didn't want to practice this skill, he just wanted to learn more about the methods of demon cultivators through this magic skill, so that when fighting against demon cultivators, he would not suffer the disadvantage of not understanding the opponent's magical powers like before.
Of course, if there is a secret technique like Blood Shadow Escape, then he must learn it.
Unfortunately, there were not many secret techniques recorded in the jade slips. It took Luo Hong several days to study before he found an interesting one.
"Liuhe Divine Needle" is a secret technique dedicated to desperate situations.
To use this secret technique, the cultivator only needs to refine six two-finger-long magic needles in advance. When using them, these six needles are deeply inserted into specific large acupoints, which can stimulate the potential of the cultivator and temporarily increase the magic power by consuming essence.
Realm of miraculous effects.
It can be said to be a fatal secret technique that can injure the enemy eight hundred times and injure oneself a thousand.
Luo Hong estimated that this secret technique only needs to be used once, and the user will not die.
However, the effect is indeed amazing. If a cultivator at the peak of his realm uses this secret technique, he will temporarily enter the next realm and his combat power will be greatly increased.
Luo Hong found that he could use this to promote an experiment that had been stagnant for a long time, so he secretly wrote down the refining method of Liuhe Needle.
Soon, when Luo Hong's soul was still one step away from the second-evolution realm, the demon cultivator finally remembered the spirit stone mine he was guarding, and an elite team composed purely of foundation-building monks raided them.
Xuan Le and Lu Tianmeng, another late-stage foundation-building monk who was later reinforced, nervously greeted the mine guarding disciples and stood ready in the Four Evil Formation.
In terms of number of people, there are more than 60 disciples on Luo Hong's side including Qi Refining Stage disciples, but there are only nine monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although the opponent only has more than 20 people, all of them are Demonic Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Everyone, be careful, they are demon cultivators from the Demon Flame Sect and the Tiansha Sect!"
Lu Tianmeng had participated in the border war and was the person who knew the demon cultivators best among the people. His fear was palpable when talking about these two sects.
Luo Hong's expression was indifferent. Those who could penetrate deep into the enemy's camp were definitely not ordinary demon cultivators. This was not surprising.
Neither side was talking nonsense, and the battle started quickly.
In order to prevent the demonic cultivators from attacking the Four Evil Formation wantonly, Xuan Le led some monks out to meet the enemy, while Lu Tianmeng commanded the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage in the formation to use the formation to contain some of the demonic cultivators.
Luo Hong and Han Li were both in the formation. Luo Hong faced a yellow-faced woman from the Tiansha Sect. He just kept casting various water spells, suppressing her and unable to raise her head.
Of course, there was also the reason that the other party did not use his special skills, and used an ordinary top-level magic weapon from the beginning to the end.
Luo Hong knew that she wanted to hold him back so that the Crazy Flame cultivator behind him could summon the Qingyang Demonic Fire.
He didn't try to stop him. If he didn't lose this battle, there would be no chance of discovering the ancient teleportation array later.
Because he was playing easily, Luo Hong was distracted and looked elsewhere. Within a few glances, he met the eyes of Han Laomo, who was also water skiing.
The two of them smiled brightly at the same time and turned to their opponent slightly embarrassed, but they still did not put in any effort and were in a state where they could escape at any time.
The yellow-faced woman seemed to notice that Luo Hong was careless and was not angry. She just smiled sinisterly.
Luo Hong ignored it and scanned the entire battlefield with his consciousness to avoid being taken advantage of by the shadow-killing monks.
However, after several times, he did not find the Shadow Killing monk, but found another target of interest.
Behind a group of fighting demon cultivators, there were two people, one red and one yellow, floating quietly in the air. They seemed to be the leaders of the two sects of demon cultivators.
Among them, the one in red is a girl from the Demon Flame Sect, and her appearance is not outstanding.
Luo Hong was interested in her because she had a peak cultivation level in the early stage of foundation building.
"However, I remember she seems to have some background."
Luo Hong pondered and hesitated, then said with a ruthless look on his face:
"No matter who she is, if she gets hit like this, even if she is the daughter of the leader of the Demon Flame Sect, there is no need to hold back!"
Within a few breaths, Luo Hong made the decision that he would win this unexpected harvest.
