After leaving the hill where Array is located, Li Yuan continues to walk north along the valley.

Blood-Devouring Stone was in the storage bag and he didn't take it out again.

The effects of Affix are always similar to the properties of the item itself.

Generally speaking, depending on the nature of the item, Affix will go in that direction.

Blood-Devouring Stone's Affix kills monks to increase the probability of breakthrough.

There are dried blood stains on the stone platform. The function of Array is "convergence", and Array Eye uses Blood-Devouring Stone.

Array is placed inside the Secret Realm, with a concealed position and concealment function.

One of the three people standing guard was carrying Li Family Token, and the other two were Rogue Cultivator. There were supplementary materials for the Foundation Establishment pill in the storage bag.

If this Affix also corresponds to the function of Array, then Li Family is obviously hunting monks.

Li Yuan went through this information in his mind, did not think about it further, and quickened his pace to walk north.

In the following time, Li Yuan paid attention to the surrounding environment while walking.

I picked a few more herbs on the road, all of which were of average quality. The most valuable one was a cluster of Green Spirit Vine growing on the stone wall of the stream, which could be sold for about ten Spirit Stone. The rest together only cost a few Spirit Stone.

There are good things in the Secret Realm, but most of them grow near dangerous areas, either guarded by Demon Beast, or the terrain is dangerous. The area outside has been searched over and over by Rogue Cultivator countless times, and the ones that can be left behind are not very valuable.

After walking for about an hour, Aura Imprinting suddenly reacted.

A familiar breath came from the northwest.

Deep, steady, Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement.

Captain Wang.

Li Yuan Adjust the direction and walk northwest.

After passing through a bush, an open grassy slope appeared in front of us.

There are several protruding rocks above the grassy slope. Captain Wang is standing on the highest rock, looking down in all directions.

There is also a monk from Guard Squad beside him, Qi Refining Seventh Layer, who carries a long sword on his back. He was a member of the team when he entered Secret Realm.

Captain Wang saw Li Yuan approaching, jumped off the rock, and came up to him.

"What happened?"

His eyes scanned Li Yuan's body and found no injuries, but the fighting aura remaining on Li Yuan's body had not completely dissipated.

"Meeted a Array."

Li Yuan said it directly without beating around the bush.

"On a hill about two miles to the south. Array has a hidden function and cannot be seen from a distance of thirty feet. There are three people inside, two Rogue Cultivator and one Li Family, all of whom are Mid Qi Refinement."

"Where are the people?"

"Kill."

Captain Wang's expression did not change and he nodded, indicating for him to continue.

Li Yuan took out the piece Li Family Token from the storage bag and handed it over.

Then he took out Blood-Devouring Stone and put it in Captain Wang's hand.

"I found this in the storage bag."

Captain Wang took Blood-Devouring Stone, looked at it over and over, and his face darkened.

"Blood-Devouring Stone." He whispered, with a hint of disgust in his tone.

He brought Blood-Devouring Stone close to his nose and smelled it, then used his spiritual power to explore the internal structure, and remained silent for a few breaths.

Then he seemed to think of something again, and his expression gradually became enlightened and surprised.

"Array Did you destroy it?"

"It broke. Array fell apart after the stone platform exploded. Blood-Devouring Stone was taken out from the position of Array Eye."

Captain Wang put Token into his storage bag, but Blood-Devouring Stone handed it back to Li Yuan.

"Token I will take it away, Blood-Devouring Stone you keep it."

Li Yuan took Blood-Devouring Stone without asking why.

He paused and then said, "This information of yours is very useful."

"Already know what Li Family is doing?" Li Yuan asked.

"I probably know it, and I also know some other things."

Captain Wang's tone tightened a bit, "I can't tell you the specifics, but what you brought out is enough."

He took out a short pen and a palm-sized piece of yellow paper from the bag on his waist, squatted next to the rock, quickly wrote a few lines, then took out a seal from his sleeve and pressed it on the lower right corner of the paper.

The spiritual power of the ink and the seal blended on the paper, forming a weak anti-counterfeiting Spirit Pattern.

Captain Wang folded the paper and handed it to Li Yuan.

"Take this and go back and find Wang Family Steward's Office to terminate the contract."

Li Yuan took the document and opened it and glanced at it. The content was very brief: permission to terminate the contract. The signature was Captain Wang's name and seal.

"No need to wait for you to go out together?"

"No. We have to stay in the Secret Realm for a while, and there are some things that need to be confirmed. You go back and finish the contract first."

Captain Wang stood up and patted the dust on his hands, "But Alchemist He, you still have to finish the Talisman Making contract. That is between you and Alchemist He, and has nothing to do with the Wang Family contract. It must be fulfilled even if the contract is terminated."

"Got it."

Li Yuan nodded and would do it even without Captain Wang's instructions.

Captain Wang didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked north with the Qi Refining Seventh Layer guard.

The figures of the two people quickly disappeared into the trees on the other side of the grass slope.

Li Yuan stood where he was, folded the documents and put them inside the storage bag, putting them together with Spirit Origin Fruit.

Teleportation Stone is not fully charged yet, it will take at least more than an hour.

Li Yuan did not rush to find a place to wait, and continued walking eastward along the grass slope.

Now that you've come in, it would be a pity not to go around more. Before Teleportation Stone is full, you can collect as many herbs as you can.

In the following time, Li Yuan wandered around the northeastern area of the Secret Realm.

I also hunted two Low-grade First-Order and Demon Beast. The materials were not very valuable, but they were easy to use.

I collected seven or eight herbs, most of them Low-grade First-Order ordinary medicinal materials. There was only one Red Sun Ginseng that was in good condition and could probably be sold for thirty or forty yuan Spirit Stone.

During this period, we met two more groups of Rogue Cultivator. They both saw them from a distance and then went their separate ways without any conflict.

Most of the Rogue Cultivator in the Secret Realm are very alert and will avoid contacting people they don't know if they don't want to. No one knows whether the other person wants to make friends or grab something.

The presence reduction effect of Breath Concealment and Keen Perception is very useful in the Secret Realm.

After Li Yuan adjusted his presence to a low level, when he met Rogue Cultivator, the other party's reaction was half a beat slower, as if he didn't notice him at first, and only when he got closer did he realize there was someone next to him.

After more than an hour, the Teleportation Stone in the cuff started to heat up.

A faint halo lit up the surface of the gray-white stone, and the spiritual power fluctuations changed from weak to obvious, indicating that the energy storage had been completed.

Li Yuan found a rock sheltered from the wind, sat down against it, and held Teleportation Stone in the palm of his hand.

Spiritual power is injected into the stone, and the halo suddenly becomes brighter.

A familiar teleportation force field spread from inside the stone, wrapping Li Yuan's body. The ground beneath his feet disappeared, and his field of vision was covered by a gray-white light curtain.

The feeling of suspension lasted for two or three breaths.

Then the soles of my feet hit the ground.

The light curtain dispersed, and Stone Gate appeared outside the entrance of the Secret Realm.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone over from the west, stretching Stone Gate's shadow very long. Yuanyang Sect Disciple on both sides of the entrance glanced at him and ignored him.

Li Yuan put away the used Teleportation Stone and walked back to the settlement along the dirt road.
