The abyss of the earth.

There was a strange fog rolling above the sky, the landform was mainly black and yellow in color, and there were lush and towering ancient trees all around. From time to time, strange shadows flashed in the darkness.

The atmosphere was quite depressing.

This abyss has seven layers in total and is shrouded in darkness all year round, so it breeds many powerful ghosts.

Because of the unique environment, in the depths of the earth abyss, there are not only combined demon kings hiding, but also several Mahayana cultivators.

Qi Yuan was flying at a low altitude at this moment, with his spiritual sense released, alert to any movement nearby. He did not overly disdain the existence of ghosts just because it was a first-level relationship.

Those evil ghosts have lived here for a long time, so there's a good chance they won't launch a sneak attack on him.

The most important thing at the moment is to quickly go deep into the abyss, find Mu Qing and several combined demon kings, and trade things with them.

If the Qingluo fruit is not picked by the fish shop owner, you still have to carefully search for its traces.

After making up his mind, Qi Yuan did not stay there for long. He did not hold back at all the spiritual power of the Void Refinement Stage and immediately transformed it into a startling rainbow and flew towards the second floor.

Before entering Diyuan, he had asked Jin Yue for relevant map information, so he would not be confused.

Seven days later, Qi Yuan flew to the sixth level of the Earth Abyss. The depressing atmosphere here was ten times more severe than before, and the clouds above his head had turned pitch black.

From time to time, there were gusts of fierce wind, bringing with them a strong chill, forcing people to be on high alert.

"The dangerous atmosphere here is very strong. We should be able to encounter beings in the Fusion Stage."

Qi Yuan looked thoughtful as he secretly activated his magic formula to strengthen the protective spiritual shield by another three points, making the colorful rays of light a dazzling target in the abyss.

At this point we can no longer worry about hiding our whereabouts. We should do the opposite and lure out something powerful.

Sudden…

The turbid spiritual energy of heaven and earth fluctuated from the edge of the dark sky, and the complex glow of the sky flashed and disappeared in a flash.

Is someone fighting?
Qi Yuan caught the information with his sharp eyes and realized that it was the noise caused by someone fighting. Although the distance was far, it was not a problem at all with his speed.

He turned around and cast a purple Taiyi Huaqing Talisman on his body. His figure suddenly turned into nothingness and his breath disappeared instantly.

He planned to go and see what was going on. There was a chance and he must not miss it.

Judging from Qi Yuan's strength, as long as he doesn't encounter a Mahayana cultivator, there won't be any major problems.

In a muddy swamp, the ground was littered with broken skulls. Two auras at the peak of the late Void Refinement stage were entangled with each other, emitting a dazzling aura.

Although their bodies were obscured by the rosy glow, based on their shadows, one could vaguely tell that one was a scorpion monster and the other was a tiger monster.

And below, there grows a spiritual tree more than three meters high. The trunk is vermilion and exudes a rich spiritual energy.

At the tip of the branch, in addition to the strange little leaves, there is also a fist-sized peach-shaped fruit that is unusually emerald green, like an emerald.

Qingluo fruit?
Qi Yuan hid in the dark, his eyes glowing with black and white light, staring at the point where the spiritual energy burst out. After seeing things clearly, he was secretly surprised.

Given the value of the Qingluo Fruit, it is not surprising that it attracts the scramble of refining monsters.

It’s just that he had just entered the sixth level of the abyss and encountered this thing. His luck is amazing, right?

In the swamp, two virtual-refining monsters were still in the stage of fighting. They didn't notice the approach of outsiders at all and were fighting each other.

Qi Yuan looked over and saw two Jia Yuan talismans quietly appearing under his sleeves. The talismans were light silver in color, without any flashing runes, but were engraved with a faint human figure with blurred facial features and wearing golden armor.

He raised his hand and shot forward.

The silver talisman immediately emitted a strange sound, continuously flashing silver light, and then two golden shadows emerged from the talisman.

They transformed into two tall golden-armored puppets, one holding a sharp sword, and the other holding a heavy hammer.

He suddenly attacked the two virtual-level monsters.

"Oh no, someone is attacking us."

"How dare you attack me? If I catch you, I will grind you to dust."

The two virtual-refining monsters separated immediately and spoke in a shocked and angry tone.

But the golden-armored puppet ignored them and launched a fierce attack in an instant. A one-meter-long golden sword energy slashed straight towards the scorpion monster.

Suddenly, a heavy hammer fell from the sky with such powerful force that the tiger demon became unable to move.

Between the lightning and flint.

A scorpion tail with an inverted hook shot out horizontally. The dark yellow glow contained extraordinary power and burst out with the sharp sound of a golden sword, and it came forward like a steel whip.

The tiger demon was unwilling to fall behind, and a furry tiger paw burst out from the protective aura, ready to take the hammer of the golden armor puppet.

Boom boom!

Suddenly, two loud noises erupted in the swamp.

Just as the sound of thunder had not stopped, a streak of colorful light flashed into the center point, passed through the bodies of the two virtual-refining monsters at an extremely fast speed, and then stopped not far away.

Between heaven and earth, everything suddenly became quiet.

The protective glow of the two virtual-refining monsters suddenly dimmed, revealing their true appearance.

In the void, the scorpion demon had a more sinister temperament, a fair face, and looked slightly younger, but its yellow eyes had become dull.

The tiger demon was sturdy and had a scar on his left cheek, looking even more ferocious. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth and his face showed fear.

Suddenly, golden-red flames jumped out of their demonic bodies, burning people to death in an instant, even the Nascent Soul was not spared.

In order to deal with two monsters at the peak of the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, Qi Yuan used two Jia Yuan Fu to attract their attention in order to make the process clean and efficient so that he could kill them in one go.

Otherwise, it would take them a little longer to prepare.

Qi Yuan turned around and landed in front of the Qingluo fruit. He looked at the bright fruit with joy. He flipped his palm and an exquisite jade box appeared. He picked the fruit with one hand and put it in the box.

He then cast several prohibitions, affixed a talisman, and then put it into the storage bracelet with satisfaction.

When he has time, he can start refining the Tianluo Pill.

As for the Qingluo fruit tree, he did not let it go. He commanded two golden-armored puppets to pull it up by the roots and transplant it to the medicine garden in the small world.

After finishing his work, a pair of golden wings appeared behind Qi Yuan. They flapped gently and disappeared mysteriously.

As one goes deeper into the abyss, the land will become more and more vast.

Qi Yuan has been flying on this sixth floor for three days and three nights, and has not seen a combined demon king yet. However, he has seen many refined ghosts and killed many of them.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, what are these Mu Qing and the other demon kings doing? There's not even a trace of them to be seen.

Even if his spiritual consciousness has reached the middle stage of fusion, it is still unable to cover such a vast abyss.

In the dark valley, Qi Yuan frowned slightly, as if he was troubled by something, and flew slowly in the dense forest. At this time, he raised his eyebrows, looked around, turned around, and landed in a hidden corner.

Taiyi Huaqing Fu slapped his body and his figure disappeared again.

After a while.

A black light came flying over quickly, the aura was quite weak, but the spiritual power was at the level of fusion.

Behind the black light, there was a ferocious shadow chasing him, also a cultivator in the fusion stage.

"Your spirit tree body has been attacked. I wonder how much magic power you have left to escape back to the cave?" said the ferocious shadow proudly.

In the dark light, a woman's voice came out, saying, "You know my background so well that you can even tell you where my real body is. I guess we know each other, right?"

"Why don't we be frank for once and stop hiding things, so that I can die willingly."

"Mu Qing, do you think I will be fooled? You won't know the truth until the last moment." The ferocious shadow responded coldly.

Mu Qing is being hunted?

When Qi Yuan heard this, his expression changed slightly. He remembered that Mu Qing's original body was indeed targeted by a demon king, and there had even been a robbery. In the end, Mu Qing gave up half of his original energy and blew himself up to injure the attacker, thus escaping the disaster.

It seems that he just happened to encounter Mu Qing being robbed?

Upon hearing that, the woman in the black light snorted coldly. The black light around her suddenly flickered, and her spiritual energy became faintly violent, as if she was performing some secret technique.

"Mu Qing, you are very decisive, but your body is damaged. It will take hundreds of years to recover. By then, I will have a chance to succeed." The ferocious shadow is experienced and can tell the clue at a glance.

In an instant, a loud thunder was heard from somewhere, causing earth-shaking waves.

The aura of the ferocious shadow suddenly weakened, and the magic light on its body flickered.

"If you don't leave now, your true appearance will be exposed." The woman in the black light said mercilessly.

The ferocious shadow laughed sinisterly a few times and then disappeared in a blur.

Under the black light, it immediately fell off and revealed a slender figure with slightly dark skin and beautiful facial features.

Maybe this woman could not be considered a beauty, but the murderous aura between her brows was so thick that it made anyone terrified at a glance.

Mu Qing forced the enemy back. At this moment, she was almost exhausted. She turned her head to a certain place and shouted, "Daoyou, you have been hiding in the dark for a long time, but you are still reluctant to show up?"

"I am just passing by, please don't let your imagination run wild..."

After the ferocious shadow left, Qi Yuan quietly revealed a trace.

Mu Qing looked at the man in front of him with a look of surprise in his eyes. His handsome face was rare to see. He said coldly, "A member of the Tianpeng tribe?"

"That's right..."

Qi Yuan nodded slightly and agreed.

"You help me return to the cave, and in return I will tell you where the treasure is." Mu Qing said calmly.

She had thought about using her magical powers to control Qi Yuan, but her strength was impaired at the moment, and facing a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, she was not 100% sure.

"Forget about the location of the treasure. Just do a few deals with me when the time comes." Qi Yuan said with a smile.

Ah!
Mu Qing suddenly became interested and agreed without hesitation.

Three days later, two streams of light stood in front of a strange, crystal green mountain wall.

The two people were Qi Yuan and Mu Qing.

Mu Qing walked a few steps forward to the cliff with a calm expression, and gently brushed it with one hand.

After a flash of green clouds flashed across the stone wall, a large opening silently opened, revealing an emerald-green passage leading directly into it.

The entrance to the passage was blocked by a layer of green light curtain. At the same time, around the entrance, some strange runes appeared on the nearby stone walls, making it look extremely mysterious.

"This is the Wood Spirit Cave where I practice in seclusion. The wood spirit energy here is so dense that it is rare even in the entire spirit world. You have done a great job in escorting me, so I will allow you to stay in there for a few days." Mu Qing on the side said proudly.

Hearing this…

Qi Yuan responded: "Then I'd better obey your command."

Wood spiritual energy also has many benefits for him. As long as the five elements are balanced, no accidents will happen.

Mu Qing smiled indifferently, and with a flash of his body, he was the first to walk into the passage.

Qi Yuan followed Mu Qing and walked in the corridor for a long time before his eyes suddenly brightened and he appeared in a small hall.

"I'll arrange a place for you to stay first, and then I'll discuss the deal with you later." Mu Qing turned around and said softly.

Only now did her vigilance towards Qi Yuan ease, so her tone was very relaxed.

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement but didn't say anything.

Under Mu Qing's arrangement, he moved into a stone chamber that was decently furnished.

Then I just ignored him.

The next moment, Mu Qing's figure flashed out from the other side of the cave and landed in a space full of giant flowers.

There was a winding path among these giant flowers. Mu Qing stepped onto the path without hesitation and walked slowly among the flowers.

After walking for a full cup of tea and passing countless giant flowers, the flowers suddenly disappeared, and a piece of green grass appeared in front of them.

In the center of the grassland, a huge black pine tree stood there.

This tree is fifty or sixty feet tall and extremely huge, but its appearance is very strange. Half of it has thick and dense leaves, while the other half is shriveled and withered, without any leaves left, like a dead tree.

Even in the surrounding space, there were obvious signs of destruction.

Mu Qing looked at the original body with deep resentment on his face. Given the extent of the damage, it would be a good thing if it could heal within hundreds of years.

At this time, a golden monkey flashed in and said respectfully to the beauty, "Master, please punish me. It was because I failed to protect your body properly that the enemy lured the tiger away from the mountain, causing you to be seriously injured."

"Mr. Jin, please stand up. This time the opponent is very aggressive and it is obvious that he knows my background very well. We can't blame you entirely." Mu Qing's expression turned gentle and he raised his hand to signal Jin Yuan to stand up.

The golden ape was about three feet tall, with two crossed short swords on his back, a half-foot long white beard, and shiny black eyes. He responded with an excited look on his face: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Master."

"I need to stay in seclusion for a while to recover my strength. I'll leave that man to you to monitor. If he does anything out of line, kill him immediately."

Mu Qing recalled Qi Yuan's strange appearance and gave the order in a cold tone.

If Qi Yuan hadn't noticed her weak appearance and worried that he would do something to her in secret, she wouldn't have asked for his escort.

After all, it is better to keep Qi Yuan by my side and monitor his every move than to let him go and cause some unknown tricks.

Even if her body is damaged, she can still unleash terrifying power at the critical moment. (End of this chapter)
