Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 454 Ji Mengli:? Fine, fine, you’re going to lose all your face just to slander me!

"?"

Lu Zhan looked at Yan Rou with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Yan Rou pursed her red lips, her eyes showing a hint of ambiguity. She did not answer, but stretched out her white right hand, clenched it slightly, and slid it up and down a few times like pounding medicine.

"!"

Lu Zhan's face turned dark, and he instantly understood the meaning of the words. It was indeed the method of the Hehuan Sect, which was simple and crude.

No wonder the Peacock King was so sad and got drunk. He probably heard the noise made by Yan Rou and thought that he and "Luo Yu" were having a great time. The Peacock King drank to drown his sorrows, but he was just a heartbroken loser.

However, Lu Zhan had not had any positive expectations for the witch from the Hehuan Sect, so he waved his hand without saying anything more and directly put Yan Rou into the laurel bell.

Tushan Shiyu had not returned yet. Lu Zhan stood in front of the window. The night sky, which was originally full of stars, became even gloomier.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Lu Zhan sighed, closed the window, sat down cross-legged, and let his consciousness enter his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

After he absorbed the essence of the evil blood pool, his soul formed a blood cocoon. He had to see what was going on.

The boundless sea of ​​consciousness was as magnificent as a real ocean, with no visible edge. Five primordial spirits sat in the sea of ​​consciousness, their blood-red bodies illuminating the sky of the sea of ​​consciousness, quite enchanting.

Those strange blood cocoons were like flowing blood, continuously being absorbed and refined by the soul.

And the soul, which was originally covered in blood, after absorbing the essence of blood, actually emitted bits of golden light around it, and was filled with a faint sacred aura.

"?"

Lu Zhan frowned slightly. His soul was obviously transforming, but the mode of transformation was unexpected.

He thought that the soul might give birth to a new soul, but he didn't expect it to change color.

What... Chameleon?

"..."

Lu Zhan was somewhat puzzled. He observed patiently for a while and gradually understood the principle of this transformation.

Not to mention that the soul is getting stronger, just the sacred aura is getting stronger and stronger.

This means that before everyone thought he was full of blood and evil, like a demon, but now the blood and evil have become sacred. When necessary, can he COS as a righteous boss?

Lu Zhan wasn't too excited.

There is no difference between the bloody aura and the sacred aura to him.

However, since the soul has transformed, there must be a reason for the transformation. At least the power of the soul is getting stronger and stronger. This layer of sacred power may be the protective color of the soul.

Lu Zhan thought for a moment, then came to his senses, took out the unfinished elixir, and placed it beside him to refine.

At the same time, he took out the pills he got from the secret room and poured them all into his mouth.

For him, the elixir may not be able to enhance his true Qi too much, but the quantity is large.

As long as the quantity is large, it will definitely be useful.

Even if it can make the body stronger, it would be fine.

Although these pills are extremely precious, there is nothing to feel bad about as long as you didn't spend your own money to make them.

As the pill entered his stomach, a burning sensation surged into his heart, as if his body was being forged by a raging fire.

There is the essence of Fire Phoenix in Lu Zhan's blood, and he is extremely resistant to fire, but at this moment he still feels a bit of pain.

This pain is the power of the elixir tempering the flesh and blood.

Every inch of flesh and blood was refined by the burning heat, then revived, and then refined again... and so on.

Cultivating the body through martial arts is both difficult and easy.

The difficulty is that body refining not only requires a large amount of spiritual medicine, but also requires the cultivator's own strong will. Because each body refining is a process of breaking the flesh and blood and reorganizing them. Regardless of whether one's strength is high or not, this kind of pain is unavoidable, and many cultivators find it difficult to bear.

If one can endure this extreme pain, then physical training will naturally be easy.

Lu Zhan's body twitched slightly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body continued to disintegrate into a bloody mist, which was then solidified again by him.

Half an hour passed like this. Lu Zhan shivered twice and gradually calmed down.

His body was a flawless bronze color, revealing violent power, and the essence of the elixir was all absorbed by his flesh and blood for his own use.

Lu Zhan calmed down his power and his skin color gradually returned to normal.

The soul in the sea of ​​consciousness also absorbed the essence of the blood pool, and its whole body was shining, like a Buddha coming to the world, extremely holy.

"..."

When Lu Zhan saw this scene, not only was there no evil spirit in his soul, even the hostility was gone. Who would dare to call him an evil cultivator in the future?

He, Lu, is the righteous one after all!

The true energy in his body was boiling, his sea of ​​consciousness was filled with infinite power, and Lu Zhan felt that his whole body was filled with unstoppable force.

This force caused his mind to tremble slightly, and his soul seemed to turn into ethereal nothingness and merge into one with the great way between heaven and earth.

Lu Zhan frowned slightly, sensing that this was a sign of an imminent breakthrough to a greater realm.

Others might not be familiar with this feeling, but Lu Zhan was extremely familiar with it. His cultivation speed was the fastest in the world, and realm breakthroughs were just a common occurrence.

It’s just that…although there are signs of a breakthrough, it seems like something is still missing.

Lu Zhan sensed that his physical strength was indeed strong enough to break through the realm, but his spiritual power was not enough.

In other words, his ideological level is not high enough and his understanding of the great truth is not enough.

Lu Zhan was not surprised. He had been busy with the affairs of Southern Xinjiang recently and had no time to communicate with heaven and earth, let alone comprehend the great Dao.

It's just that he has had many opportunities recently. Not only did he obtain the dragon soul, but he also killed many monsters, so his physical strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

It’s a pity that the souls no longer reproduce, otherwise he could have supported several souls.

Thinking back to the time when I had to be extremely humble in order to support my soul, now my soul has more food than it can eat... It's like I'll die of drought when it's dry, and die of floods when it's flooded.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan suppressed his strength.

Not to mention that his spiritual power is not enough, even if his spiritual power is enough, he is not prepared to break through the state of inaction at this time.

There is a reason why the seniors are stuck in leveling.

The higher the realm, the higher the restrictions between heaven and earth. It is better to suppress the level and soar into the sky when necessary.

"call……"

Lu Zhan exhaled slowly, restrained all his breath, and opened his eyes.

His cultivation speed is too fast, so fast that it makes all practitioners doubt their lives. It would be better for him to be low-key.

……

-

Time passed and it was already three o'clock in the morning.

The stars in the sky disappeared, the sky was dark, outside the cave was ice and snow, the cold wind was howling, and heavy snow was floating between heaven and earth.

Lu Zhan lay on the animal skin bed, looking at the falling snow, slowly absorbing the winter snow spirit. The chilly air entered his body, making him feel refreshed.

"Huhuhu~~"

The fierce mountain wind howled and blew the windows open from the outside.

When Lu Zhan opened his eyes, he saw a shadow reflected on the floor of the room. Immediately afterwards, Tushan Shiyu appeared, her hair stained with a few traces of frost, and her black skirt rustled in the wind, outlining an undulating and towering arc.

Lu Zhan turned over and saw that she looked calm, so he asked:

"Did you find anything?"

Tushan Shiyu sat beside the couch and said calmly:

"I just went to explore, and didn't gain anything, but I encountered an interesting thing..."

Lu Zhan sat up straight, with one leg curled up, looking quite lazy: "Oh?"

Tushan Shiyu thought for a moment and said:

"I passed by a side hall in the west, which is said to be the place where the Saint Envoy Dongfang You stayed. Black Sparrow stood in front of Dongfang You's door and put drugs in the wine pot. I thought Black Sparrow had bad intentions and might take the opportunity to sow discord between Peacock Mountain and the royal family, so I used a little trick to replace Black Sparrow's wine."

"?"

Lu Zhan blinked. At this point, the Peacock King would definitely not cooperate with Ji Mengli. However, the ancestral worship ceremony was approaching. If he wanted the plan to move forward steadily, it would be best to stabilize Ji Mengli and ensure that nothing could go wrong.

This is probably the reason why the Peacock King stayed in the East for a while.

But after Tushan Shiyu's intervention, things may not turn out as the Peacock King expected.

"interesting……"

Lu Zhan had anticipated that something interesting would happen, but he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he patted the bed and said, "Rest and wait for tomorrow's fun."

Tushan Shiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly remembered the scene of lying down with Lu Zhan and watching the stars. At that time, the two were very close to each other, just like a couple sleeping in the same bed...

"Forget it, I'll start practicing." Tushan Shiyu shook his head and sat down to meditate.

In fact, this exploration was not fruitless. Tushan Shiyu saw murals about the Gu God in a cave.

The murals are obscure and difficult to understand, but what is certain is that Peacock Mountain is always staring at Qianjue Valley.

Tushan Shiyu doesn't think that the Peacock King wants to awaken the Gu God. The awakening of the Gu God is not a good thing for both the demons and humans. The Peacock King is staring at the Qianjue Valley, perhaps he has other plans.

Combined with the mysterious disappearance of Qianjue Valley that year, Tushan Shiyu already had new guesses in his mind.

Maybe... I should go explore the Thousand Valleys.

But how to find Qianjue Valley still requires careful consideration.

Tushan Shiyu collected her thoughts. As it was about the magic stone, she did not tell Lu Zhan about it. There were secrets between them, and these secrets were the real reasons why they could not work together.

"Ugh……"

Tushan Shiyu sighed softly, his hands on his legs trembled slightly, and finally calmed down.

……

"Clang!!"

The next morning, in the luxurious and elegant bedroom, the Peacock King, with his eyes wide open and his eyebrows raised, smashed the wine jug in front of him with anger and glared at the people below with rage.

Black Sparrow knelt at the bottom of the stairs, trembling:

"I was ordered to go and get some information last night. After three rounds of drinking, I used magic to try to get some information from Dongfang You, but he suddenly woke up and took out a black object. My eyes went dark and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, Dongfang You was gone..."

“Haha…” The Peacock King sneered in anger. He gritted his teeth and looked towards the capital, fuming: “The Saintess of Southern Border…what a good trick!”

After learning that Dongfang You had plotted against Hei Que and had inexplicably left Peacock Mountain, the Peacock King realized that there was something fishy going on and hurriedly checked his secret room. As a result, he discovered that the stone man's head that he had found with great difficulty had been stolen. How audacious he was!

The Peacock King had previously parted ways with the Saint of Southern Xinjiang, but the Saint of Southern Xinjiang did not send anyone to appease him, which shows that she did not care about Peacock Mountain.

But after many days, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang sent people to discuss cooperation again.

The Peacock King originally thought that the Saint Maiden of Southern Xinjiang was defeated in the political struggle in the court, and realized the importance of Peacock Mountain, so he wanted to destroy the cooperation between Peacock Mountain and King Yong.

Unexpectedly, the other party's real intention was to steal the stone man's head? !

It's not the Peacock King's fault for being careless. Dongfang You is only at the peak of the Mysterious Realm. He can crush an ant to death with just a slight movement of his fingers. He never thought that Dongfang You came to steal the stone man's skull.

After all, who would have thought that the Saint of Southern Xinjiang would send a weakling to steal?

But the other party did it anyway!

The Saint of Southern Xinjiang is so cunning!

The Peacock King suppressed his anger and tried his best to contain his rage. Since the saint stole the stone man's skull, it meant that the other party had also set his sights on the Thousand Absolute Valley and knew that in order to enter the Thousand Absolute Valley, a "mysterious key" was needed.

They had never collected all the keys in Peacock Mountain, but the Saint took the risk of sending people to steal them. Maybe the royal family had other key parts...

This further strengthened King Maurya's determination to cooperate with King Yong.

The bitch Ayiduo is so lawless that she even dares to provoke Peacock Mountain. It's time to teach the royal family of Southern Xinjiang a lesson!

Even if a few immortal old men really pop up in the royal family of Southern Xinjiang, they in Peacock Mountain are not pushovers.
