Word Tablet, Chang Family Crisis, Departure Preparations

White Bone Altar, which was hundreds of feet high in the center, only lasted less than ten breaths before being swallowed up by Big Dipper Spirit Fire.

The broken bones had no time to fall before they were burned to ashes.

Waves of heat rose, almost forming wind.

The scattered embers fell from the sky like snowflakes, lasting for half a quarter of an hour.

"Hey, it's not finished?"

However, when Spirit Fire faded away and Xiao Chen inspected the scene with Divine Sense, they found that there seemed to be a piece of Word Tablet left in the middle.

He stretched out his hand and real energy surged out, grabbing Word Tablet.

Word Tablet is not big, six inches long, one inch wide, and only one finger thick.

But when I hold it in my hand, it clearly feels extraordinary. It's neither gold nor jade, nor wood nor iron. I can't tell what kind of material it is made of.

From top to bottom, there are three large square characters engraved on its front.

But Xiao Chen cannot recognize it.

Turning it over, I saw a line of small words on the back, which was also difficult to read.

"No, this looks like the little clerk in that painting. Could it be from the same origin?"

He suddenly felt something familiar, and when he opened it, he saw that it was very similar.

Interesting, now at least there is a clearer clue.

It is estimated that this special font should be related to the group of magic cultivators.

It's probably some kind of cipher text that was created to avoid Righteous Cultivator's pursuit.

But having said that, I have not seen similar descriptions on Yellow Springs Secret Canon.

This shows that Yellow Springs Path did not use such ciphertext back then. It seems that there should be other stories in it.

As for the specific situation, more clues may need to be collected.

"Anyway, since it won't burn, it should be a good thing."

Xiao Chen has a unique way of judging unfamiliar spiritual objects. "Then just keep it for now. There is always a chance to figure out the situation."

The scene was rechecked.

After confirming that there was nothing missing except for the ashes on the ground, he used his sword to notify Thunder Sound True Person and Jade Bloom True Person.

Emphasis is placed on the sentence "Strike Bandit Cultivator".

Now that Demonic Calamity is completely over, it is time to restore order in He Province and suppress the lower-level monks who took the opportunity to cause chaos.

Many times, man-made disasters are also a major hazard.

As long as he gives one more warning now, he might be able to save the lives of a few low-level monks. Why not?

Coming out of the Spirit Origin Sect Hall, a shout suddenly rang out from the side.

"Senior Xiao Help!"

A figure rushed directly in front of him and knelt on the ground with a bang on the spot. "Senior, please speak up and save my brother's life."

Xiao Chen took a closer look and saw that the person coming was Chang Shunping whom he hadn't seen for many days.

He looked haggard now and looked like he had lost weight.

She cried on the spot and said, "Please tell me from my seniors, I, Chang Family, have always been cautious and cautious, and I have never colluded with the Demonic Sect."

"It is even more impossible to secretly communicate with the Divine Fire Sect. This is purely unfair."

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Based on his understanding of Chang Shunping, the other party should not have the courage to collude with the magic cultivator.

What's going on?

"Daoist Chang, don't be impatient, get up and speak slowly."

After asking carefully, it turned out that after the Divine Fire Sect was defeated a few days ago, Spirit Origin Sect immediately launched a large-scale manhunt across the entire territory.

The main goal is to crack down on those who slipped through the cracks in the battle, as well as those traitors who assisted Divine Fire Sect.

By the way, we will accept those Spirit Field and Spirit Vein that are no longer owned by Demonic Calamity.

The latter matter is even a top priority for some people.

So Chang Family became the unlucky guy.

Chang Shunping's younger brother, Chang Shunan, was immediately arrested.

According to the Demonic Sect's identity as a spy, Yuan Magnetic Peak was imprisoned in the back mountain and prepared to be executed after interrogation to identify his accomplices.

In addition, Chang Family's property was seized and searched for evidence related to the magic cultivator.

"Wait, are you sure there is no other reason?"

Xiao Chen is a little confused. He has a personal relationship with the Chang Family. This matter is not a secret.

Chang Shunping is Foundation Establishment Stage 6's monk after all. There shouldn't be many Lineage who are capable of taking action?

If they don't have conclusive evidence, they probably won't have the courage.

"There is no other reason. My brother has the same temperament as me. He never dares to cause trouble."

Chang Shunping hurriedly explained, "Shun'an was stationed on the front line before, and many comrades can testify. Since the battle ended, Shun'an has returned home directly."

"These days we have been taking turns at home and have never gone out."

He spoke sincerely and didn't seem to be lying.

"In that case, let's check it out."

Xiao Chen then asked, "Where is your brother now? I will take you to see him first."

If he was really wronged, he wouldn't mind helping.

However, Yao Dehai, who was standing nearby, appeared in time and said that there was no need to run back and forth and that all relevant personnel would be called over to confront him.

After saying that, he arranged for someone to call for someone, brought tables, chairs and benches and put tea on the table.

Soon, Chang Shunan and his captor Pan Family Cultivator were brought over together.

There are also several pieces of evidence.

They are the copy of Devil Cultivation Method found in the Chang Family, the body of an unknown monk found in the cellar of the Chang Family, and two witnesses.

The first witness is the servant of the Chang Family.

He testified that Chang Brothers refused to cooperate after seeing Pan Family Cultivator and resisted the investigation.

The second witness is a disciple of the Spirit Origin Sect.

He saw with his own eyes that Chang Shunan once went to Spirit Origin Market to have a private meeting with demon cultivators during the first month of the year.

The demon cultivator was captured in time and executed in a unified manner yesterday.

However, the confession obtained from the interrogation was left behind, in which he also admitted colluding with Chang Shunan and obtaining the elixir from him.

It seems that the chain of evidence is quite complete.

"Senior Xiao, what an injustice!"

After Pan Family Cultivator finished speaking, Chang Shunping immediately defended. "As soon as they come to the door, they arrest people indiscriminately. They are clearly coveting our new Spirit Vein."

"And I have inquired about it. That disciple used to work with Elder Pan of the Demon Slayer Hall."

"It's obviously their Pan Family people."

Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Tell me first, what is this new Spirit Vein about?"

It turns out that the so-called new Spirit Vein refers to the original Spirit Vein of Qiu Ping County.

Just because Four Great Wanderers invaded, Qiu Ping was also targeted as an important location, and all the original monks Lineage were killed.

However, there are many Marriage Alliances among Lineages, and Chang Familys, as neighbors, naturally get married.

So when Qiu Ping County regained control, Chang Family wanted to take over Spirit Vein through their in-law relationship.

As a result, I met Pan Family Cultivator, who was responsible for this direction, and a conflict arose.

Pan Family did not recognize such an inheritance relationship, and quickly found all the evidence for the Chang Family Demonic Connection.

Immediately afterwards, people were arrested and conflicts broke out.

Unexpectedly, Chang Shunping also hid another Defensive Formation at home, and he escaped.

.

Both sides hold their own opinions, plus Xiao Chen and Golden Core are present.

It immediately attracted a large number of the Spirit Origin Sect disciples to stand and watch.

At the same time, it also alerted all the stewards in the Spirit Origin Sect and Elder, and those who had time on their hands came over to join in the fun.

Pan Family Cultivator was a little nervous at first, but as he saw more and more people around him, he calmed down.

The more people watching, the safer they are.

Pan Qiaochun also arrived at the scene in time and brought new witnesses.

A monk from the Hui Dong Merchant Guild proved that on February 17, Chang Shunan secretly met with the demon cultivator in a wing of the chamber of commerce.

He did not know that the other person was a demon cultivator at the time, so he did not report it.

It wasn't until a few days ago during the large-scale manhunt for demon cultivators that we got the relevant news.

"A-Liang is indeed working under my command, but Daoist Xu of the Hui Dong Merchant Guild is not one of us Pan Family, right?"

Pan Qiaochun looked at Chang Shunping: "Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, how else do you want to make excuses?"

As soon as she asked the question, everyone around her nodded.

The full name of Daoist Xu is Xu Xixuan, which is the person in charge of the Hui Dong Merchant Guild at Spirit Origin Market Stronghold.

They believe that Pan Family can bribe True Disciple, but Pan Family does not have the ability to bribe the backbone of the Hui Dong Merchant Guild.

Even Chang Shunping himself was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his brother.

Chang Shunan quickly explained, "I don't, I don't even know Daoist Xu, and on February 17th, I accompanied Daoist Li in retreat for healing at Spirit Origin Market."

Pan Qiaochun turned to look at him. "In that case, why don't Daoist Li help you testify?"

Chang Shunan's eyes widened. "Daoist Li The former guard Looking Swallow Mountain was unfortunately killed, Elder Pan you know that!"

"Of course I know."

Pan Qiaochun shouted loudly and asked, "You also know that Daoist Li has died in the battle, but now you use him to excuse you, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"First they slandered us Pan Family and wanted to rob Spirit Vein, and then used the sacrificed fellow Daoists to fabricate evidence."

"From the beginning to the end, it was all about crying injustice with one mouth."

"How can you hide such a little trick from everyone, even Wind Thunder True Person."

Because some time ago, Xiao Chen was called Wind Thunder Sword, so before the recognized title appeared, some monks called him Wind Thunder True Person.

Pan Qiaochun spoke impassionedly, and the people around him nodded frequently.

Only Xiao Chen has a subtle expression.

When I was in the Li Fire Sect before, I was still the one who was framed as Demonic Connection.

Now, in just three years, he has already reached the position of arbiter.

Yao Dehai noticed this situation in time. Although he didn't know why, he immediately wanted to help Chang Family pave the steps.

However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Du Mingjie was also not far away. He originally wanted to help out by saying a few words because of his friendship with Chang Shunping who stayed behind with Qingyang Mountain.

But as each witness spoke, the original idea was abandoned.

On the contrary, Qiu Qichen did not listen carefully to the following evidence.

He was observing Xiao Chen's expression out of the corner of his eye the whole time.

At this time, I noticed that after Xu Xixuan testified, Xiao Chen did not frown or look angry.

I immediately wondered in my mind whether he wanted to protect Chang Family.

So he decisively expressed his position. "In my opinion, this matter is full of doubts, especially now that Daoyou Pan's subordinates are involved in it, it will inevitably make people suspicious."

"It's better to find someone else to re-investigate the situation, find out the truth later, and then make a decision."

Yao Dehai's brows jumped when he heard this.

He actually wanted to say this, but in the end he still couldn't get over it.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Family actually didn't care whether the facts were right or wrong in order to please Golden Core.

Gu Qiuling, who was also watching, stood up and spoke for her good friend, "Qiu Qichen, don't speak out of conscience."

"Isn't the evidence listed by Qiaochun Junior Sister not clear enough now?"

"It's obviously Chang Family who had an affair with the Divine Fire Sect. I would like to ask you, what are you trying to investigate by re-investigating?"

The monk Gu Family on the side quickly gave her a hand and motioned her to stop saying a few words.

However, Gu Qiuling flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't stop me. The matter is already very clear. It's obvious that Chang Family is just making nonsense of it."

"I'm speaking to Qiaochun Junior Sister today not because she and I are friends."

"I just hope that all demon cultivators and traitors will receive the punishment they deserve."

"Rather than being deceived by people with ulterior motives, and ultimately being affected by certain factors."

When she talked about certain factors, she was looking at Xiao Chen.

?

This is quite outrageous.

When Spirit Origin Sect first came to the Spirit Origin Sect and she was selecting people, Xiao Chen felt like she had some objections to him.

The key point is that this kind of hostility is inexplicable. There should be no enmity between the two, right?

"In order to prevent wrongful accusations against good people, let me ask a question first."

Xiao Chen looked around. "Hui Dong Merchant Guild How many Foundation Establishment Cultivators named Xu are there?"

When he asked this question, everyone around him looked at each other.

What does this mean?

Xu Xixuan was also dumbfounded. He thought carefully before answering solemnly, "Only my brother and I are responsible for the teahouse opened by the Chamber of Commerce in Spirit Origin Market."

That's correct.

That day Xiao Chen went to the Hui Dong Merchant Guild and happened to hear that Xu Family Brothers was transferred to assist in the sacrifice transaction.

The real Demonic Connection is not Chang Family, but Xu Family Brothers.

Now it is clear that they are colluding with the Pan Family to give perjury. From this point of view, maybe there is something wrong with the Pan Family.

Xiao Chen asked, "In that case, how many sacrifices have you helped sell?"

As soon as the word "sacrifice" came out, Xu Xixuan's face immediately turned pale, and his soul was gone.

This matter is also the highest level secret within the Chamber of Commerce.

He didn't know how Xiao Chen learned about the situation.

However, what is even more amazing is that Pan Qiaochun turned out to be earth-colored on the scene.

"Hui Dong Merchant Guild has many members Demonic Connection, including this Xu Family Brothers."

Xiao Chen made a direct ruling. "Therefore Chang Family is the slandered party, but it is Pan Family who is teaching Demonic Connection."

"Let's review the entire Pan Family."

"Anyone who has colluded with the demonic cultivators, or who has not reported the information, will be guilty of the same crime as the demonic cultivators, and will be executed together."

The situation suddenly changed, and the surrounding monks did not react.

Yao Dehai was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and nodded in agreement. "Respect the decree of True Person."

"By the way, what does she do?"

Xiao Chen pointed at Gu Qiuling and asked.

Yao Dehai responded immediately, "Replying to True Person, Junior Sister Gu is the manager of the Demon Slayer Hall, responsible for inspecting the magic cultivators."

Xiao Chen shook his head. "Don't do such an important job with this kind of intelligence. It can easily endanger truly good people."

"Check her, too, to see if she is the one with ulterior motives."

As soon as these words came out, the monk Gu Family on the side felt relieved. Fortunately, Wind Thunder True Person was easy to talk to and did not involve the whole Gu Family.

Gu Qiuling looked at his good sister in disbelief.

However, Pan Qiaochun's face was ashen. The moment she heard the sacrifice, she knew that everything was over.

Sure enough, soon Yao Dehai led people to the Pan Family and found more evidence, as well as several hidden demon cultivators.

.

Solved the crisis of the Chang Family.

Amidst Chang Shunping's endless gratitude, Xiao Chen set off and returned to the Li Fire Sect.

Now that Demonic Calamity has ended, considering that Hundred Herbs Secret Realm does not have much time, he should prepare to leave early.

But before setting off, there are some small things that need to be taken care of.

The first one to bear the brunt is the refining White Wave Fruit.

Speaking of which, it has been almost a month since the breakthrough Golden Core.

Xiao Chen was not able to practice properly for two days.

Instead, I went back and forth between He Province and Li Province several times.

Now I finally have some free time, which I can use to improve my strength.

After all, this trip was a real trip, traveling millions of miles.

There's no telling what situations you might encounter along the way.

But one thing is certain, that is, the higher the strength, the more calmly you will be able to face various emergencies.

Therefore, he planned to use up the spiritual objects on hand before setting off for the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.

One day later.

As White Wave Fruit was completely absorbed, Total True Essence of Xiao Chen also increased from one hundred and nine at the beginning to one hundred and eleven.

He practiced by himself for another two days.

It's just that Spirit Fruit is no longer there, and only one Total True Essence has been added in two days.

If this speed were spread, it would be enough to envy the rest of Golden Core True Person.

But Xiao Chen is still a little dissatisfied.

You must know that one day of his practice is actually equivalent to one hundred days of practice.

In other words, without Hextech, it would take him two hundred days to refine a true essence.

"This is too outrageous. No wonder the other Golden Core True Person are so slow in their cultivation."

Xiao Chen After thinking about it, I have indeed rarely heard of Golden Core True Person Cultivation Breakthrough.

So this is not entirely due to his poor qualifications, but also to the fact that Golden Core Cultivator training is inherently difficult.

In fact, this is not a secret.

As we all know, the higher the monk's level, the slower Cultivation Speed will be.

The slower Cultivation Speed is, the slower the level will be improved.

The slower the realm improves, the lower the realm.

To sum up, the higher the realm, the lower the realm.

"Hey, something seems wrong."

However, Xiao Chen did not dwell on this. With the temporary end of practice, the Cloud Leopard Bone Soup he had stewed for three days and three nights was finally out of the pot.

This pot of bone soup uses an entire spine.

In addition, with his improved cultivation, the Spirit Fire he used was much more powerful, so the effect was also much improved.

As soon as I opened the lid of the big pot, a rich aroma came out.

Looking down, I saw that the spiritual spring in the pot had turned into milky white bone soup.

The originally solid bones have become much softer under the continued cooking.

And this time Xiao Chen has additional experience.

He prepared a large pot in advance and stewed a full twenty kilograms of Rolling Pearl Spirit Rice in the pot.

It was just ripe at this time, and every grain of rice exuded a faint spiritual light.

Xiao Chen was not polite. He just added a mouthful of bone soup and a mouthful of rice and devoured it on the spot.

Not long after, he ate a large pot of bone soup and twenty kilograms of spiritual rice into his stomach.

This meal was just as he expected, and it did not help his Body Refining Cultivation Breakthrough reach the third level.

However, it is not without its benefits. At least it allowed Xiao Chen's <Nine-Strength Mountain Moving Method> to successfully break through to the highest ninth level and basically understand it.

It can be said that he has reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection in terms of just forging Body Cultivator.

"That's almost it."

Xiao Chen felt his progress and nodded with satisfaction.

There's basically only so much he can do now.

The spiritual items on hand have been exhausted. Normally Cultivation Speed is slow. If the delay continues, we may not be able to catch up with the Secret Realm.

"Let's say goodbye before we leave. This may take a long time."

Xiao Chen After thinking about it, I really have a lot to do this time.

The first goal must be to go to the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm and look for Purple-Gold Bodhi left behind by Yellow Springs Path.

At the same time, look inside the Secret Realm to see if there are any other High-Tier Spirit Medicine.

After all, according to the inheritance information, there should be other spirit medicine there.

Logically speaking, the spirit medicine that can be planted there must at least start at level three.

Any flowers and plants you pick up should be worth a lot of money.

The second goal is to collect Sha Qi. At least go to the bay of the Flying Crossing Sea and look for it in person to see if Silver Frost Evil is hidden there as the rumors say.

At the same time, you can also ask if there is any news about other Sha Qi.

Although I have formed a pill now, Sha Qi is still a very important resource.

You know, the <Profound Heaven Ingestion Secret Method> hidden in Wordless Stele is the Babel Secret Method left behind by Immortal Palace Master.

Since you dare to call Tongtian Secret Method, naturally you can't only help monks form elixirs.

According to the description of <Profound Heaven Ingestion Secret Method>, even in the future Nascent Soul Formation, each pair of Five Elements Sars can increase the monk's Nascent Soul Formation success rate by half.

If you can collect all Five Elements Sars, you can increase the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation by an additional half.

In other words, Five Elements Sars can increase the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation by up to 30%.

And the most important point is still that it can also be superimposed with other Rank-Breaking Spiritual Medicine or level-breaking secret techniques.

Therefore, for Xiao Chen, collecting Sha Qi is still a top priority.

In addition to these two most important goals, he still has three things to deal with at Eastern Domain.

The first thing is naturally to buy a Storage Ring to replace the Storage Bag that is obviously not enough space.

After all, he now has the fifth Storage Bag hanging around his waist.

If this continues, I'm afraid we will have to add a sixth or seventh one, which will be too cumbersome.

The second thing is to inquire about Dao Comprehension Crystal.

This is an opportunity to comprehend the great truth, and naturally the more, the better.

And as long as he successfully obtains Purple-Gold Bodhi, he doesn't have to worry about his lack of understanding.

The third thing is to find a Body Refining secret technique.

Southern Domain Apart from the previous Ghost Flood Dragon True Person and Xiao Chen, I have not heard of any other third-order Body Cultivator.

Therefore, if you want to obtain the third level Body Refining secret technique, you still have to count on Eastern Domain.

And it's not just secret techniques, including Tier 3 Demon Beast's flesh and blood, it will definitely be easier to obtain in Eastern Domain.

It is best to directly upgrade Body Refining Cultivation to the third level on Eastern Domain.

This alone is estimated to take several months.

Based on this calculation, plus the time spent on the road, I am afraid that even if I want to come back, I will not be able to come back within two or three years.

Therefore, before leaving, a formal farewell is still necessary.
