Despite the stench of the swamp, there is actually a stone gate with a formation underneath. The people behind the scenes really put a lot of effort into choosing such a place.
Cheng Yuan didn't study much about the formation, but he had many useful spiritual weapons on hand, and he casually took out a high-level formation-breaking cone.
This formation-breaking awl is extremely easy to use and can break most formations. However, Cheng Yuan is worried that if there is someone inside, breaking this formation will alarm the snake. Therefore, he just uses the formation-breaking awl to gently explore and open a gap in the restriction.<
/p>
"Quick!" Cheng Yuan greeted Xun Yan, pushed open the stone door, and hurried inside.
The smelly mud beast outside the door received the demon spirit liquid that was agreed upon in advance, quickly absorbed it, and slowly sank into the swamp.
After entering the stone gate, the stench coming from inside became even stronger.
Just when Cheng Yuan was about to take action, he glanced at him and immediately pulled Xun Yan to one side, hiding his figure.
As soon as all this was done, a ragged man suddenly appeared at the entrance.
His disheveled hair was messy, covering his face so that no one could see his face clearly, but he was heard to mutter: "Strange, I just felt it clearly... could it be an illusion?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yan was thankful. Fortunately, he had only broken the formation before and not destroyed it, otherwise he would be in trouble now.
The man checked it carefully again, then turned around and left.
Cheng Yuan and Xun Yan waited for a while, and then quickly walked in the direction the man left.
……
The underground was damp and narrow, and only one person could pass through the corridor. Cheng Yuan and Xun Yan entered one after the other.
Soon, the vague and noisy sounds gradually became clear, and they were some feeble moans.
When he arrived at the exit, a blaze of fire came into view, and Cheng Yan looked at the scalps in front of him that were numb.
A huge pool was filled with a green poisonous miasma, and one human head after another could be vaguely seen in it. The nearest head had no face and hair, and the whole head was covered with cancer.
The man's eyes were tightly closed, and from time to time he would open his mouth and let out a scream. Because he had no strength, his voice was thin and weak, and he just moaned.
Xun Yan sent a message: ‘This is the Demon Refining Pond.’
He no longer remembers the first time he entered the Demon Refining Pond, nor does he remember whether there were so many people in the Demon Refining Pond at that time. He only remembers that he was alone in the Demon Refining Pond and was tortured to death by the liquid and poisonous insects.
He couldn't see his appearance, but he thought he was just like these people, scary and ferocious.
He suddenly jumped down and jumped into the Demon Refining Pond.
"Xun Yan, what are you doing?" Before Cheng Yuan could stop him, the movement of him entering the water had already alerted the previous monks.
Cheng Yan immediately disappeared and saw the man hurried to the Demon Refining Pond, staring at the water in confusion.
"Why is there such a big movement?" He glanced across the Demon Refining Pond, his eyes stopping at the place where Xun Yan entered the water before.
At this time, a gloomy sound came from the corridor not far away.
"What's going on?"
"Zhenjun, wait a moment, I will go into the pool to check." As he said this, the man jumped into the water.
Cheng Yan's heart suddenly lifted, Zhenjun?
Could it be that there is a Nascent Soul cultivator here!
In this case, Xun Yan and her would be in danger.
But he couldn't act rashly at the moment. Cheng Yan looked at the water quietly and saw "Gudong, Gudong". The liquid in the demon refining pool began to boil, and the head that could only groan at first began to rotate violently.
They let out frightening screams of pain and struggled in the pool one by one.
People next to each other collided, and they began to entangle, bite, and fight each other, hoping to kill each other immediately. They were so powerful that they could tear off a large piece of each other's flesh with just one move.
During the tearing, some people's limbs, eyeballs, ears, etc. were lost. Until one party dies, the other person will not give up.
This tragic scene reminded Cheng Yan of the legendary method of refining Gu.
Of all the people in the Demon Refining Pond, I am afraid that only the last person will be left in the end.
And the last person may become a "monster" like Xun Yan.
What kind of existence do these people want to refine?
"I caught you!" A person stuck his head out and said excitedly: "Ah haha, I actually made a medicine man in advance that still retains consciousness!"
Cheng Yuan's pupils narrowed and he realized that what he was holding in his hand was Xun Yan.
Xun Yan said angrily: "Let me go!"
But his movements were stiff, as if he couldn't control his body. Cheng Yan was about to control the Lingfu Grass to rescue him, but suddenly received a look from him.
Although Xun Yan's eyes were a little out of focus, he was looking in her direction.
He shook his head slightly.
Cheng Yuan thought for a moment, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and watched him being lifted out of the demon refining pool by this person, and dragged all the way into the corridor where the sound came from before.
Cheng Yan quickly followed.
‘Tick tock, tick tock.’
The sound of water dripping could be heard clearly from the end of the corridor. When Cheng Yan entered, he saw a throne opposite. On the throne, there was a man wrapped in black robes, staring at Xun Yan with burning eyes.
The man beside Xun Yan said: "Zhenjun, it was this guy who made the noise."
The man above glanced at Xun Yan, frowned and said, "Xu Gui, how did he become like this?"
I think I was also shocked by Xun Yan's weird body.
The man in ragged clothes is called Xu Gui, which is really not a nice name.
Xu Gui said: "A while ago, I just added some transformation pills, which can make these medicine men strengthen their bodies. However, the transformation pills used to be targeted at demons. They are monks and may not be able to withstand such stimulation.
Unexpectedly, this man actually endured it and regained his consciousness."
"Let me go!" Xun Yan shouted at the right time, but that was all he said over and over again.
But the man at the top laughed loudly: "Well, it seems that you still have some skills, much better than your master."
Joy flashed across Xu Gui's face: "Thank you for the compliment, True Lord. If you keep up your hard work, I will definitely refine a body for True Lord that can accommodate your soul."
"Why, this body is not finished yet?" The man was annoyed and snorted coldly.
Xu Gui immediately knelt down and said, "Don't blame me, my true lord. This body is almost refined. You just need to take the Demon Exorcist Pill to restore the body to human form, and then you can use it."
"How long will it take? I don't have the patience to wait another ten or eight years!" There was murderous intent in the man's eyes.
Xugui swallowed his saliva: "It doesn't take that long, at most, a year at most."
"Huh?"
"No, half a year."
"Say it again?"
Xugui fell to the ground under a strong pressure, and said tremblingly: "Three months, really can't be less, I must go all out."
The man snorted coldly and then removed the pressure: "Get out of here!"
Xu Gui echoed again and again, pulled Xun Yan over, turned and left.
Cheng Yan slowly followed Xu Gui, but suddenly heard the sound of iron chains coming from behind.
She turned around and saw the man standing up suddenly. Behind him, two huge iron chains passed through his shoulder blades, greatly restricting his movement.
