Chapter 189 Returning to Tiannan, old friends either dead or old...

South of the sky, the boundless sea.

A cold bright moon hangs in the sky.

There are no islands to settle down or commercial ships around.

Apart from the sparkling sea water surging regularly, the surrounding environment can be said to be very calm.

Suddenly, a large cloud of black fog appeared over the sea, rolling violently.

A figure rushed out from the black fog, with a frightened expression on his face. He touched his butt and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, Senior Brother Qi, is he addicted to kicking?"

The figure that appeared was Han Li himself.

The black fog began to surge again, and two figures slowly walked out.

Have you really returned to Tiannan?
Qi Yuan looked up and saw only traces of the three of them. He spread his spiritual sense out but found no signs of any monks' activities.

According to the description in the original book, if you go out of Storm Mountain, you will reach the boundless sea in the south of the sky. Then if you keep flying south, you will land in Xiguo.

After Qi Yuan and the other two left, the black fog magically disappeared into the void, as if it had never appeared.

Moreover, this place has the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the magic power of the three people was fully restored.

"Next time you're going to kick me, could you please let me know in advance, Brother Qi?" Han Li spoke to Qi Yuan with protest written all over his face.

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "There is no problem with this. I will pay attention to it next time."

Seeing this expression, Han Li shuddered instantly.

Feng Xi was silent for a moment, and Han Li trembled.

In order to verify whether it was the boundless sea, Qi Yuan looked carefully, and with the hand hidden in his sleeve, he flicked his fingers, and a thumb-sized light golden lightning arc shot into the deep sea in an instant.

Soon, the corpse of a sea beast emerged on the surface of the sea, lying quietly without any breath.

The sea beast below was about three or four feet long, with green scales all over its back and rows of tiny sharp teeth in its mouth.

He has a pair of huge, swollen eyelids, which makes him look very ferocious.

The most eye-catching part is the area under the cheeks, where there is a pair of curved sharp bone spurs, making it look even more hideous.

"Huh?" Han Li looked at the beast and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Qi Yuan looked at the appearance of the sea beast and felt relieved. Even if he didn't split its body open, he knew it was the Xinya beast.

This kind of sea beast is unique to the Boundless Sea and has no trace in other places.

Han Li leaned closer and said, "Brother, is the monster below the Xinya Beast?"

Because he recalled some kind of sea beast, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion in his heart.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly and said, "It's Xinya Beast. We are back to Tiannan. Thank you, Junior Brother Han, for teaching Feng Xi the Tiannan language."

Han Li, who was secretly delighted, suddenly froze when he heard the following words.

Then he looked at Feng Xi, the ninth-level demon who was full of demonic energy, and his right cheek couldn't help but twitch a few times.

When he was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage facing a ninth-level monster, the pressure like a huge mountain was no joke.

The three of them flew south for three or four months and finally saw some monks moving around.

The State of Xi is located in the northernmost part of the southern part of the world and is covered by wind and snow all year round. Its land area is slightly smaller than that of the State of Yue, but it has seven prefectures.

Minzhou is a state adjacent to the Boundless Sea and is also the largest of the seven states of Xiguo.

Fengri City is not only the capital of Minzhou, but also the largest city in Minzhou. Commercial transactions and exchanges between monks are very prosperous and frequent.

In a teahouse box, three people were sipping tea while trying to restrain their aura. Otherwise, if they walked around with the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage, it would alert the city's managers, and they would inevitably have to go through a lot of trouble.

Han Li drank a few sips of tea, and finally couldn't help thinking, and said: "Brother Qi promised me something in the Yinming Land, I want to complete the transaction as soon as possible."

If I don't get the Thunder Bamboo this day, I will feel uncomfortable all over.

"No problem..." Qi Yuan glanced over, took out a small piece of tender Tianlei bamboo from his storage bag, placed it on the tea table, and said:
"In the previous teleportation array incident, Senior Brother wanted Junior Brother Han to help him travel to the Far West, but the situation changed and he unexpectedly returned to Tiannan. How about this piece of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo as a reward for going to the Far West?"

Han Li did not answer immediately, but first checked the authenticity of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo and said:

"To go to the Far West, you must first pass through the Fengdu Kingdom of the Righteous Alliance. On the way there is a vast desert that stretches as far as the eye can see. The risk factor is quite high. I'm afraid it won't be enough with just a ten-year-old piece of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, okay?"

He paused for a moment and continued, "How about this? Junior Brother is willing to buy it with other treasures and spirit stones. The price won't be a loss to Senior Brother Qi."

A trip to the Far West would not only be risky and time-consuming, but would also delay his cultivation of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo and his search for an opportunity to form a baby, so he had better postpone it if possible.

Qi Yuan tapped the teacup with his fingers a few times and said with a smile: "Brother Han, don't forget that this is the Thunder Bamboo, one of the three sacred trees. Its yield is very rare. Even if it is of a lower age, its value is still inestimable. If you don't want to, I will choose someone else."

In the human world today, there are only a handful of cultivators or families who can possess the treasure of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

Hearing this,

Han Li's face darkened. He knew the scarcity of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. If he made a mistake in the transaction, his life treasure, the Green Bee Bamboo Cloud Sword, would be gone forever...

Helplessly he said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, I agree, but I can't pay any extra price."

"Deal. Brother is waiting for your good news." Qi Yuan smiled and pushed the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to Han Li.

He still has the seedlings of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, and can use the smallest profit to drive Han Lao Mo to bring back the soul of Dayan God. It is a good deal anyway.

Even if Han Li refined a set of Green Bamboo Bee Swords, he still couldn't defeat him.

After explaining the matter to Lord Dayan, Qi Yuan wondered whether he should go directly to Luoyun Sect in Yunmeng Mountain, Nanzhou to take away the Spirit Eye Tree?
Nanzhou is the second state of Xiguo.

The Spirit Eye Tree is the last of the three sacred trees.

If Qi Yuan could obtain it, he would possess the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, the Soul-Nourishing Divine Tree, and the Spirit Eye Tree at the same time.

Moreover, the effect of the Spirit Eye Tree is much more powerful than the previous two. Every two hundred years, a spiritual liquid called alcohol will flow out from the roots of the Spirit Eye Tree.

This spiritual liquid can be used as raw material to refine several top-grade elixirs.

Among them, the Dingling Pill is the most powerful. It can not only improve cultivation, but also calm the mind and soul, and reduce the interference of inner demons.

If you take Dingling Pill before forming a baby, the process of forming a baby will be much easier.

This Spirit Eye Tree is of little use to Qi Yuan, but his woman can use it. Just for the fact that it can restrain the interference of the inner demon, it is worth going to Yunmeng Mountain.

But before that, I have to go back to Yue Country to meet Senior Sister Chen and the others, and wait for Ruyan to come to Tiannan to give her some instructions.

Qi Yuan suddenly returned to Tiannan, but Xin Ruyin and the others in Chaos Star Sea didn't know about it.

After parting ways with Han Li, Qi Yuan went all the way south and headed straight into the heart of the Yue Kingdom.

While on the road, he refined the Wind and Thunder Wings and wore them on his body to increase his body speed.

However, Qi Yuan could still clearly remember Feng Xi's resentful look. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and had no guilt in his heart.

After passing through Yuanwu State, you will reach Yue State.

After many years, I set foot in a familiar place again, and the past memories came to my mind.

Different from before, there are not only disciples from the six sects walking around in the territory of Yue State.

There was also a group of monks in unfamiliar clothing walking around, and their style and behavior seemed to be superior to the six sects.

A monk from the Righteous Alliance?

Qi Yuan recalled that when he left Tiannan, he seemed to have given Nangong Wan a trick to lure the wolf into the house, and dragged the Righteous Alliance into the invasion of the Demonic Path. Under the circumstances at that time, only the Zhiyang Master in the late Nascent Soul stage was qualified to resist the footsteps of the old demon Hehuan.

As for Wei Wuya of the Nine-Nation Alliance, he was fully focused on resisting the invasion of the Mulan people. How could he have the time to get involved in internal strife?

Not to mention Xiguo's Tiandao Alliance, which doesn't even have a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and is at the bottom of the alliance's strength ranking.

Only when the Luanming Sect's dual cultivation couple Long Han and Feng Bing work together can they involve a late Nascent Soul cultivator.

With such a performance that can only mind its own business, it is a pipe dream to expect to pull others into the game.

Only the mortal enemy of the Demonic Path, the Righteous Alliance, has hope of entering the Kingdom of Yue to contain them.

The war has not stopped for many years, and the roots of the Righteous Alliance have been deeply rooted in the borders of Yue. If we leave it alone.

Just wait for the old guys of the six sects to pass away, and then there will be a lack of successors, and it will be easy for the Kingdom of Yue to change its flag and banner.

Whether the annexation action will be brought forward or not depends on whether the Righteous Alliance has any shame.

The matter... was secretly assigned by Qi Yuan to Nangong Wan to carry out. Once the details of the six sects are known, if too many people defect, just let nature take its course.

If the six sects stick together, there is still hope of salvation.

Anyway, Qi Yuan felt that with his current strength, it would not be a problem for him to open up a habitat in Tiannan.

At worst, I can practice with all the women together...

After entering Yue State from Yuanwu State, it is the closest to Huangfeng Valley.

Qi Yuan's eyes flashed and his figure swept away.

I don’t know if Senior Sister Chen is in Huangfeng Valley. I hope this trip isn’t in vain.

In a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, two disciples of Huangfeng Valley were guarding the mountain gate.

Suddenly, he saw two figures approaching. He couldn't see their cultivation level clearly, but he was immediately shocked. He stood up straight and said politely, "Who are you two seniors looking for in Huangfeng Valley? I'll go in and report it."

The mountain gate is still there, but the people... are no longer the disciples who guarded the mountain back then.

Qi Yuan felt around in his storage bag and found a token that had been gathering dust in a corner for a long time, and threw it to the disciple guarding the mountain.

The two mountain guarding disciples showed doubtful eyes, took a closer look, and immediately said respectfully: "So you are the disciple of Patriarch Hongfu. We meet Senior Brother Qi."

Hey, Master has automatically aged half as he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and all his disciples now call him Ancestor.

Qi Yuan shook his head, feeling a little amused, took the token and disappeared into the Huangfeng Valley.

"Stop, who are you? Why has this master never seen you before?"

A voice like a huge bell sounded, and a middle-aged man flew over. He had a resolute face and exuded the cultivation of a late foundation building stage.

Leader?

Qi Yuan asked back: "I remember that the headmaster is not Zhong Lingdao? Where is he?"

"Do you know Senior Brother Zhong? He passed away a few years ago." The middle-aged man looked slightly stunned and said slowly.

Dead. Considering how old Zhong Lingdao was at that time, he really didn't have much time left to live.

Qi Yuan sighed slightly, ignored the new leader of Huangfeng Valley, just threw down an identity token and left.

The middle-aged man touched the token, his eyes flashed, revealing a bit of surprise. When did Patriarch Hongfu accept a disciple?
And the name Qi Yuan looks so familiar, as if I have seen it there before.

Qi Yuan scanned the entire Huangfeng Valley with his spiritual sense. The old thief Linghu was not there, Master Hongfu was not in the cave either, and he didn't even see Senior Sister Chen.

However, he discovered the aura of Lei Wanhe in the Jindan stage, and thought that he was in charge of Huangfeng Valley.

Qi Yuan had never met him when he was in the valley before.

The old villain Linghu is nearing the end of his life. Given his situation, he will not stay in Huangfeng Valley for long. Instead, he will go out to look for opportunities and hope for new changes.

I guess Master Hongfu is at the Jinguyuan front line.

Let’s go to Chen’s house first.

Qi Yuan made up his mind and turned to fly towards the Chen family. When he was sticking with Senior Sister Chen, he had already found out the address of the Chen family.

Half an hour later.

A magnificent mansion came into view, with two tall stone lions placed in front of the door and the words "Chen Mansion" engraved on the plaque in an extraordinary style.

It was obviously cast by a famous craftsman.

The servant saw the people coming and stepped forward to ask, "Greetings, two seniors. Who are you looking for?"

Qi Yuan said softly, "Senior Sister Chen Qiaoqian, please let them know that Junior Brother Qi is back."

With his level of cultivation, he could enter directly, but he did something rude the first time he came to the Chen family.

That doesn't look good.

Are you here to look for Patriarch Chen?

The servant's smile immediately became more enthusiastic, and he very politely led Qi Yuan into the hall.

As Chen Qiaoqian advanced to the Jindan stage, the status of the Chen family in Yue State became increasingly important.

Sitting in the hall, with maids serving tea, Qi Yuan quickly looked around the layout, which was quite grand.

Soon, a fat man walked in with a swift pace, saying, "The man who came to look for my daughter from the Chen family, is he here to propose marriage again?"

The fat old man grumbled in a dissatisfied tone and walked into the hall.

The moment he saw Qi Yuan, his fat old face froze instantly, and his eyes stared at Qi Yuan's appearance.

Qi Yuan was slightly surprised when he saw the person coming. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you again after so many years. Brother Chen, that's great."

This fat guy was none other than Fatty Chen who had been at the Jinguyuan frontline back then. He had a good relationship with him at that time, and he even gave him elixir to heal his wounds during their last meeting.

But after so many years, Fatty Chen's aura is still at the late stage of foundation building, and his face has become older.

I think the elixir formation failed.

"You...you are Brother Qi?" Fatty Chen looked incredulous and his tone was a little excited.

After all, so much time has passed and he has grown old, but when I see him again today, he still looks the same as he did back then.

It's so sad.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly.

Fatty Chen turned around immediately and ordered, "Go and get Qiaoqian out of prison, go quickly..."

The servant was a little dazed by what he heard, and then he heard a heavy tone behind him, and he ran in a certain direction as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Fat Chen was in mixed feelings, thinking about how he had gone against all odds and saved his niece Qiaoqian's marriage over the years, which led to the Chen family's current situation. He thought it was time to put the stamp of approval on the matter.

But before that, he needed to know Qi Yuan's cultivation level, so he couldn't help but ask: "I am arrogant and still call you Brother Qi. What is Brother Qi's cultivation level today?"

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Nascent Soul Stage..."

"Oh, Nascent Soul Stage. What? Nascent Soul Stage..." Fatty Chen's mind was like a raging storm. He stood up suddenly and looked at Qi Yuan with a shocked expression.
