After nightfall, Li Yuan closed the door of the stone house and took out the bottle of Fiend Essence Pill from the storage bag.
Li Yuan poured one out and threw it directly into his mouth.
The pill entered his stomach, and a ball of cold breath exploded from the bottom of his stomach.
Li Yuan did not suppress it deliberately and allowed Fiend Qi to roam around in the body.
Under the blessing of Fiend Qi Body Tempering and the deliberate guidance of Li Yuan.
Fiend Qi sinks between fascia and bones. Fiend Qi washes repeatedly in the muscle fibers. After one wash, the density is reduced by half, and after the second wash, it is almost exhausted.
The layer of muscles under the skin is a little tighter.
Fiend Qi was completely digested without staying in the body for long.
Li Yuan moved his fingers and pinched his forearm.
He took out the second one and drank it.
The effect of this one is a little weaker than the first one, and the body has already adapted to it.
However, Fiend Qi Body Tempering Affix is still converting steadily without any discomfort.
The third one, the fourth one.
By the fourth pill, the body's absorption slowed down significantly. It wasn't that there was something wrong with Affix, it was that the amount of training the muscles could withstand in a short period of time reached a bottleneck.
Li Yuan Stopper the bottle and retract the storage bag.
Keep the rest and use it slowly over a few days.
He crossed his legs and adjusted his breath for a while to straighten out the remaining Fiend Qi in his body. Then he stood up and walked to the table, spreading out the Talisman Paper.
It's quiet at night, perfect for drawing symbols.
Fireball Talisman painted three pictures, and then switched to Rejuvenation Talisman to practice. Rejuvenation Talisman's wood type Spirit Pattern is more particular about spreading evenly than Fire Element. A slight deviation in the strength will cause it to diverge, and it needs to be sharpened repeatedly.
When I was drawing the fifth picture, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the stone house.
Immediately afterwards, the cyan light curtain of Herb Garden Array fluctuated violently.
It wasn't that something rushed in from the outside, it was Array itself that vibrated abnormally, as if to remind myself.
The Talisman Brush in Li Yuan's hand paused, and a small piece of Spirit Ink spread on the paper.
He put down his pen, opened the door and walked out.
Outside Herb Garden, two He Family disciples were running towards the stone house.
One was eighteen or nineteen years old, Qi Refining Early Stage, with a pale face, and was running staggeringly. The other was slightly older, in his early twenties, with the same cultivation level of Qi Refining Early Stage, and was panting.
"Li Daoyou--"
The younger one shouted before he could even reach him, his throat breaking.
"Something happened to Herb Garden in the south! Someone is attacking!"
Li Yuan has taken a step out of the stone house.
"How many people?"
"No, I don't know, at least five or six..." The young disciple bent over and took a few breaths, "Uncle Zhou who is guarding Herb Garden is already there, and he asked us to call you."
Li Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and there was a flash of fire under his feet.
"Lead the way."
The two He Family disciples turned around and ran away, while Li Yuan followed behind, keeping pace with the two of them.
From the back mountain Herb Garden to the southern place Herb Garden, there is a low ridge and a sparse forest in between. The night is dark, and the mountain road at the foot is bumpy. The two He Family disciples ran forward one foot deep and one foot shallow, and almost tripped several times.
When we crossed the low ridge, we could already see the situation ahead.
In the distance, in the direction of Herb Garden to the south, there were several clusters of dancing spiritual lights - not the light of Array, but the light of the collision of spells. One group of red and one group of gray and white, flashing alternately, with the sound of Law Artifact colliding metal in the middle.
The outline of the Herb Garden surrounded by the stone fence is looming under the aura. Most of the outer Array has been broken into pieces. Only the south side of the cyan light curtain is still barely lit, and the other directions are full of dark gaps.
The stone railing itself was broken several times, and rubble was scattered all over the floor.
Li Yuan's footsteps suddenly accelerated, Fire Escape Technique pushed with all his strength, and after a few ups and downs in the forest, he rushed out of the tree line.
Herb Garden The situation inside is worse than imagined.
The medicine garden was turned over beyond recognition, with soil and herbs mixed together. There were deep footprints and scorch marks left by spell bombardments everywhere. Several elixir plants half as tall as a man were uprooted and thrown on the roadside.
Herb Garden In the middle, a He Family monk is desperately resisting.
He was in his forties, stocky, with a flushed face. He was holding a thick round shield with his aura wrapped around it, and was in a stalemate with two intruders. A large piece of his robe was torn on his left shoulder, blood was still seeping out from the wound, and the movements of half of his body were obviously slow.
Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
The two people fighting around him had cultivation levels around Qi Refining Fifth Layer. Further outside, there were two people standing in the shadows on the edge of Herb Garden, not making any moves, as if they were watching for the wind.
Li Yuan's eyes swept over these people and landed on the deepest part of Herb Garden.
There is another person there.
He was squatting in the middle of a specially fenced medicine garden, his hands quickly digging for something in the soil.
Cultivation is the strongest.
Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
Flames gathered in Li Yuan's palm, Fireball Technique took off his hand and threw it between the two intruders in the fight.
Boom!
Red fire exploded between the two of them, and the gravel and soil on the ground were thrown away.
The two intruders jumped back at the same time. One of them blocked it with his right arm, and his cuff was burnt. A trace of shock flashed across his face.
He Family The Qi Refining Sixth Layer monk took advantage of this opportunity to take two steps back, put his round shield on the ground to support his body, and gasped for air.
"Coming-" He shouted hoarsely and glanced in the direction of Herb Garden.
Li Yuan followed his gaze and looked over.
Herb Garden Deep down, the Qi Refining Seventh Layer intruder had already stood up from the medicine garden.
He held a magical elixir in his hand.
It's not big, about a foot long, with green stems and a fist-sized flower blooming at the top. Petal is translucent jade white with a very faint fluorescent light on the edge. It can be seen clearly even in the night.
The intruder carefully put the elixir into a prepared Jade Box, closed the lid, and stuffed it into his arms.
"I got the stuff, move out."
His voice was not loud, but all the intruders in Herb Garden heard it.
The two monks who were blown away by Fireball immediately turned around and ran away without even losing a breath. The two who were standing outside Herb Garden looking out also turned around, and several figures quickly withdrew towards the mountain forest to the south.
The leader of Qi Refining Seventh Layer is the last to go.
He glanced at the He Family, the Qi Refining Sixth Layer monk, and Li Yuan, and moved the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was smiling, but not at all.
Immediately, his body flashed and flew towards the mountain forest at an extremely fast speed.
Li Yuan Fireball pressed the palm of his hand and hit it in that direction.
The fire exploded on the tree trunk at the edge of the forest, burning off two branches and sending broken leaves flying.
But people have fallen into darkness.
With the speed of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and the fact that the opponent has fully retreated after achieving its goal, Li Yuan cannot catch up with him.
Herb Garden became quiet.
After the aura of the magic collision dissipated, the surroundings fell into darkness again. Only the remaining light curtain of Array was still shining slightly on the south side, like a lamp that was about to go out.
He Family Qi Refining Sixth Layer monk knelt on one knee, his buckler stuck to the ground, and the blood on his left shoulder was still flowing. His right hand was holding the handle of the knife, his knuckles were white, his lips were stretched into a line, and he did not speak.
The two He Family disciples who led the way earlier also followed. The younger one ran to Brother Qi Refining Sixth Layer and hurriedly helped him stop the bleeding. The older one stood beside the medicine garden that had been turned over beyond recognition, looking at the empty pit on the ground, his face ashen.
"That medicine..." the young disciple asked in a low voice.
Qi Refining Sixth Layer monk did not answer.
The older disciple spoke first, his voice low and hoarse.
"Jade Essence Flower."
He knelt down, picked up a trampled leaf from the edge of the medicine garden, and held it in his hand.
"Cultivation Method has been stealing something from home for several years and is about to use it."
Li Yuan glanced at him.
"What?"
The older disciple stood up and threw the broken leaf back to the ground.
"Some kind of Foundation Establishment Dan material."
He paused.
"And it's not just the Foundation Establishment pill. Stamen from Jade Essence Flower can help Qi Refining Sixth Layer monks break through to the seventh level. The family originally planned to use it for Uncle Zhou after the flowers bloom."
He glanced at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer monk who was still stopping the bleeding.
Li Yuan was silent for a breath.
He Family The only monk Qi Refining Seventh Layer mentioned before was "gone" last time.
Li Yuan stood on the spot, his eyes sweeping over the broken Herb Garden.
The medicine garden was turned to pieces, Array was mostly broken into pieces, Jade Essence Flower was taken away, and the monk Qi Refining Sixth Layer was injured.
He Family There are at least a few dozen people up and down, and there are also twenty or thirty monks, so the scale is not small.
But the strongest combat power of Lineage is only one Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
Li Yuan withdrew his gaze and glanced in the direction of the He Family's house.
There were no lights in Valley in the distance, it was pitch black.
