After Li Yuan returned to Fangshi, he reported the matter of Token to Chen Yi through Dharma Protector Token.
Chen Yi arrived that afternoon.
Li Yuan handed over the storage bags of Token and Traveling Merchant as well as the remaining items after the corpses were disposed of.
Chen Yi took Token and looked through it for a while. His consciousness penetrated into the lines and he frowned slightly.
"Spiritual power cannot be activated, only demonic energy can activate it?"
"Yes. After injecting magic energy, a location coordinate and a code name will be transmitted."
Li Yuan paraphrased the information.
Chen Yi was silent for a few breaths and put Token away.
"I've never seen anything like this."
He put his hands on his knees.
"I will send Token back to the sect for special personnel to investigate. I will also send personnel to investigate the location of the entrance to the space, but I will not enter rashly."
He glanced at Li Yuan.
"Pay attention to your safety over there. People with demonic auras have appeared in the city more than once or twice. There may be an organization behind them."
Li Yuan nodded.
Chen Yi left with Token and the items.
Over the next few days, Li Yuan turned his attention to Fiend Ore.
The one Yuanyang Sect designated for him Fiend Ore Mineral Vein Dao is in the south direction of Ghost Mist Forest, about 600 feet away from Fang City. Li Yuan flew over and checked the scene.
Mineral Vein Dao is not big, and only a small section is exposed above the ground. The dark purple Sha Ore Stone is embedded in the rock wall, and the surface is glowing with a heavy Fiend Qi luster. The entrance of Mine Tunnel is not deep, and after walking more than ten feet in, it reaches the end.
The concentration of Fiend Qi inside Mine Tunnel is extremely high, two or three times more concentrated than the depth of Ghost Mist Forest. The rock wall, the ground, and even the air are filled with a rich dark red evil mist.
Fiend Origin Unification's operating efficiency here is extremely high, and Fiend Qi is almost rushing to pour into the body.
There are claw marks and bite marks on the rock wall deep in Mine Tunnel. Just as Chen Yi said, Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle may have escaped from here.
The value of Sha Ore Stone itself is not high, but it can be used to replace Fiend Gathering Array with Array Base Stone, saving a material cost. And Fiend Qi around Mineral Vein Dao The concentration is extremely high. If Fiend Gathering Array is deployed here and Fiend Qi is concentrated into Array Base Stone, the concentration of surrounding Fiend Qi will be reduced, and other monks can also come in to mine.
Li Yuan spent a day laying out a set of Fiend Gathering Array in the mining area.
The two-layer nested structure covers the entrance of Mine Tunnel and the surrounding area of 50 feet. Array Base Stone is directly replaced by Sha Ore Stone, saving the cost of purchasing. After Fiend Gathering Array is activated, the concentration of Fiend Qi near the entrance of Mine Tunnel drops to a level that ordinary Rogue Cultivator can bear.
After the formation was completed, Li Yuan returned to Fangshi.
After practicing for a few more days, Li Ze'an came.
It wasn't just people from the Li Family who came, there were two people in total.
The first one is Li Ze'an himself. He has a gray-blue robe and a straight face, the same as before.
The second Li Yuan I know is Array Master from the Yuanyang Sect. I met him before when he came to Fang City to set up Fiend Gathering Array. Early Foundation Establishment is a man of cultivation, with a face in his forties and a calm expression.
"Fellow Daoist Li." Li Ze'an bowed his hands in salute. "Lingxi Valley The things are ready and we are leaving today."
The cooperation was negotiated at Trading Fair before. Li Ze'an planned to clean up an area in Lingxi Valley, Demon Beast, Li Yuan helped out, and the reward was the Red Flame Condensing Essence Pill.
"This is Senior Brother Zhou from the Yuanyang Sect. Array Dao is very accomplished." Li Ze'an introduced Array Master. "After cleaning up Demon Beast, Senior Brother Zhou is responsible for deploying Array in that area."
Array Master nodded towards Li Yuan. "Fellow Daoist Li, I have long admired you."
The group set off from Fangshi and flew west.
Lingxi Valley is on the west side of Ghost Mist Forest, about half a day's journey from Fangshi.
Wind Escape Technique activated, and the three of them flew above the thick fog. The dead trees and rocks on the ground quickly retreated under their feet.
After about two hours, the terrain began to change.
The dead trees and gray-white thick fog gradually thinned, replaced by lush forests and clear streams. Fiend Qi in the air almost disappeared, and the concentration of spiritual energy was much higher than Ghost Mist Forest.
Lingxi Valley.
Completely different from the desolate and gloomy Ghost Mist Forest, the environment of Lingxi Valley is like another world. The emerald green Valley is flanked by steep cliffs, which are covered with various Spirit Herb and vines. There is a wide stream at the bottom of the valley, the water quality is crystal clear, and the shadow of spiritual fish can occasionally be seen in the stream.
The aura concentration is 20 to 30% higher than that in the city.
There was a person standing at the mouth of the valley.
A female cultivator in her thirties, Early Foundation Establishment, wears a light blue dress with a Short Sword hanging around her waist. She has a delicate face and a cold expression.
Li Ze'an fell down and nodded towards the female cultivator. "Zhao, everyone is here."
The female cultivator glanced at Li Yuan and Array Master, said nothing, turned and walked towards the valley. Book friends were discussing: What happened? Come to Cola Novels to participate in the discussion.
Four Foundation Establishment monks walked deeper along the stream at the bottom of the valley.
There are frequent Demon Beast activities in the depths of Lingxi Valley. The further you go, the denser the Spirit Herb are on both sides of the stream, and there are more and more traces of Demon Beast. There are hoof prints, claw marks, and feces on the ground, and there are rubbed hairs on the tree trunks.
"This is the area."
He pointed to an open valley ahead. There were low hills on both sides of the valley, and a flat grassland in the middle. There was a natural pool in the middle of the grassland with turquoise water.
"Li Family plans to build a place for Cultivation Method spirit beasts here. The terrain is suitable, the spiritual energy is abundant, and the water source is sufficient. However, this area is occupied by Demon Beast and needs to be cleaned up first."
His consciousness extended forward.
"We have explored this area before and found that there is at least one Lower Second-Order water-type Demon Beast, and several First-Order Demon Beast. The Second-Order one is the key target."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull sound of splashing water coming from the direction of the pool.
A huge whirlpool emerged in the center of the pool, and a huge figure emerged from the water.
It is about two feet long, with its entire body covered with blue-gray scales. It has short and thick limbs with webbed toes. It has a flat head and a pair of vertical pupils exposed from above the water, staring coldly at the four people on the shore.
The tail slapped heavily on the water, causing a large splash.
Green-Scaled Water Lizard. Lower Second-Order Water belongs to Demon Beast.
Li Ze'an took a step back and glanced at Li Yuan and Zhao the Cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist Li, Zhao, please."
Li Yuan raised his right hand.
Fire Python Technique.
The crimson Fire Snake shot out from the palm of his hand, dragging hot air waves straight towards the center of the pool.
Green-Scaled Water Lizard's vertical pupils shrank suddenly, and his body sank into the water. Fire Snake passed by the water surface, evaporating a large cloud of white mist from the pool water.
Violent waves surged in the pool. Green-Scaled Water Lizard suddenly jumped out from the water, opened its mouth, and a ball of aqua blue spiritual power shot out from the mouth, heading straight in the direction of Li Yuan.
Zhao the Cultivator and Short Sword were unsheathed at the same time.
A sharp Sword Qi slashed at Green-Scaled Water Lizard's waist and abdomen from the side, forcing it to twist and dodge in the air. The water spiritual power ball in its mouth deviated from the direction and hit the rocks on the shore. It exploded, causing gravel to fly.
Li Yuan caught Green-Scaled Water Lizard while he was twisting in the air, and released the second shot of Fire Python Technique.
Fire Snake collided head-on with Green-Scaled Water Lizard's abdomen.
The scales on the abdomen were thinner than those on the back, and Fire Snake's burning left a black mark on the surface of the scales. Green-Scaled Water Lizard let out a roar and fell back into the pool.
Zhao the Cultivator did not stop, Sword Qi struck the water surface three times in a row, and the pond water was cut into three deep grooves.
Green-Scaled Water Lizard dodged two attacks in the water. The third one, Sword Qi, cut into the root of its tail. The scales shattered and the blood stained the surrounding pool water red.
Li Yuan hit the water with three consecutive rounds of Fireball Technique, and the shock wave of the explosion lifted the water several feet high. The high-temperature flames evaporated a large amount of white mist on the water, and Green-Scaled Water Lizard was forced to jump out of the water.
This time it didn't choose to fight anymore, and turned around and fled deeper into the valley.
Zhao the Cultivator's body intercepted it in front, Short Sword stabbed it three times, and Sword Qi blocked Green-Scaled Water Lizard's retreat.
Li Yuan raised his right hand, Origin Condensation Formula urged it, and the spiritual power was highly compressed.
Fire Python Technique.
This shot Fire Snake was twice as thick as before. Spiritual Qi Density reached an extremely high level with the blessing of Origin Condensation Formula, and hit Green-Scaled Water Lizard's head head on.
Boom.
Fire Snake exploded on the scales on his head, and scorching flames poured in from the gaps in the scales. Green-Scaled Water Lizard's body suddenly arched, his limbs spasmed, and a roar was squeezed out of his throat.
Short Sword of Zhao the Cultivator penetrated the abdominal wound of Green-Scaled Water Lizard at the same time, and Sword Qi exploded inside the body.
Green-Scaled Water Lizard's body hit the ground heavily, his limbs spread out, and his breath disappeared.
Lower Second-Order Water attribute Demon Beast, kill.
Li Ze'an and Array Master came up from behind.
"Thank you very much." Li Ze'an glanced at Green-Scaled Water Lizard's body and nodded. "The distribution of the spoils will be calculated together after everything is cleared."
Zhao the Cultivator sheathed his sword and said nothing.
The four people continued to clean up the remaining First-Order Demon Beast around the valley. The Demon Beast of First-Order was not worth mentioning to the four Foundation Establishment monks, and they were cleaned up in most of an hour.
As the sky grew dark, the four of them found a sheltered location to rest at the edge of the valley.
The trophies were piled aside, but Green-Scaled Water Lizard's body had not yet been dismantled.
"The distribution matter is not urgent." Li Ze'an said. "We will continue to push deeper tomorrow, and we will deal with it together after everything is cleared."
Li Yuan nodded and sat down cross-legged to practice.
