Drunk Immortal Gourd

More than two thousand years have passed, and the vegetation here has recovered a lot. However, because there are too many ruins of buildings nearby, and because trial disciples frequented it frequently after that, the vegetation here is obviously much sparser. The vegetation is not very lush, and there is no comparison. Tall trees and traces of the past can be directly seen in many places, such as dilapidated squares and collapsed halls.

Oncoming, a wide river with a surface of more than a hundred feet was unfathomable. At least with Qingyang's current strength of spiritual consciousness, it was impossible to explore the bottom of the river while standing outside. The water in the entire river was a strange red color. It was unknown whether it was dyed by something or it was the original color, which made many people feel uneasy.

Needless to say, this river should be the legendary Blood River, but the red water is a bit difficult to understand. After all, more than two thousand years have passed. If it is true as the legend says, the water in this Blood River is due to the Blood Demon Cult. He practiced evil magic, or was stained by the blood of the battle between good and evil. It should have become clear by this time, and it cannot continue until now. Perhaps it is because it has been too long, and those rumors are just rumors passed down by monks.

Qingyang walked along the river for more than an hour, and finally came to a gathering place of monks. At a glance, there were at least more than 200 monks from various sects gathered in this area, and there were even many like Qingyang. In this way, they are rushing in from everywhere.

The total number of disciples participating in the trial in Chaotic Demon Valley is only one thousand. Counting those who had accidents during this period, the remaining ones are estimated to be less than nine hundred. More than two hundred people gathered here at once, indicating that almost thirty percent of them came. It can be seen that The secret palace that appears at the bottom of the Blood River is so attractive to everyone.

Qingyang glanced around, and was about to see if there was anyone he knew. Suddenly, he heard someone beside him say in surprise: "Junior Brother Qingyang, are you here too?"

It was Chen Biwang's voice. Qingyang couldn't help but turn around and saw Chen Biwang standing not far away greeting him. He hadn't seen him for nearly a year, and Chen Biwang's cultivation had also been promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Next to him were Qin Ruyan, Deng Changting, Kou Yuchang and others, but the original team of ten people became nine people, and the remaining one was probably more likely to be in trouble.

After nearly a year of training in the Chaos Demon Valley, he finally saw acquaintances again. With so many people here, he was safe for the time being. Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Chen Biwang.

Seeing Qingyang appear, Qin Ruyan snorted and said: "I can't tell, your life is quite high. Our team consists of so many people, but we have lost one teammate in this nearly year of trials. , there’s nothing wrong with you as a fourth-level Qi refining person acting alone.”

This woman really holds a grudge, isn't it because she wasn't in the same group? Qingyang didn't want to explain so much, so he just said lightly: "It's nothing, maybe I'm lucky."

After Qin Ruyan's reminder, many people remembered that Qingyang was acting alone during this period, and he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, which was incomparable to a large team like theirs. Qingyang's ability to survive until now is probably not only due to good luck, but also his own strength. Thinking of this, many people looked at Qingyang differently.

However, Kou Yuchang did not agree with this and said with a smile: "It's hard to say. Chaotic Demon Valley is also a good place for cultivation. Maybe I just found a place to practice in seclusion for the past ten months."

It's not Kou Yuchang's nonsense. There are really such people among the disciples who come to participate in the trial. They feel that nothing is as important as cultivation. Instead of wasting time competing with others for spiritual herbs, it is better to find a place to practice secretly. Maybe it won't take long. I broke through the bottleneck that I had experienced for several years.

There are many dangers in the Chaos Demon Valley. The dangers not only come from the monsters, traps, and living dead in the Chaos Demon Valley, but also from other trial disciples. It is difficult to guard against. Many veteran sixth-level Qi Refining monks are If you don't dare to act alone, how can a person on the fourth level of Qi Refining be fine? So Kou Yuchang guessed that Qingyang must have been practicing in hiding somewhere for ten months, and now he was about to explain himself in the trial, so he came out and showed his face.

When Kou Yuchang said this, a Qingfeng Palace disciple next to him immediately echoed and laughed twice, saying: "Yes, I remember that when he first came in, he had just reached the fourth level of Qi refining, and now he is about to practice I have reached the fifth level of Qi, and the results of this year’s cultivation are still very good.”

Seeing that these two guys were smiling but not smiling, it was clear that they were deliberately looking for trouble. Qingyang didn't bother to tell him apart. He just glanced at him lightly and said nothing. However, Qin Ruyan next to her couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Even if I have practiced in seclusion for ten months, I am still better than you. Do you dare to wander around the Chaos Demon Valley alone when you are at the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

Qin Ruyan defended Qingyang in this way, and the Qingfeng Palace disciple quickly fell silent. Even Kou Yuchang was a little surprised. He looked at the two of them deeply and did not say anything rude again.

At this time, Chen Biwang said: "Junior Brother Qingyang came here at this time. Could it be that he also heard about the secret palace appearing at the bottom of the blood river?"

Qingyang nodded and said, "Yes, you guys came early, do you know the details?"

Chen Biwang said: "You have asked the right person. Although we did not discover this secret hall, we were almost the first few groups to arrive here. About three days ago, seven or eight trial disciples were searching near the blood river. Suddenly, they felt an abnormal vibration under their feet. After a careful search, they found a secret hall at the bottom of the blood river. Because there were many trial disciples here at the time, and they were not from the same sect, the news spread quickly. Our team was only a dozen miles away from here, so we rushed here as soon as possible." Abnormal vibration? Qingyang was puzzled. It has been more than two thousand years since the first trial in Chaos Demon Valley. If the secret hall at the bottom of the river has been vibrating abnormally, it should have been discovered by others long ago and would not have been left until now. It was only discovered three days ago, which means that the abnormal vibration has only appeared recently. This is strange. Why did it not appear earlier or later in more than two thousand years, but at this time? Qingyang racked his brains but couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to put this question aside for the time being and asked, "Since the secret hall has been discovered, why are you waiting outside?" Chen Biwang said, "The secret hall has been discovered, but unfortunately there is an extremely powerful formation protecting the passageway to the secret hall, which is difficult to break with our ability, and the location is relatively narrow, and not many people can stand at a time, so we have to take turns to form teams to break the formation." After listening to Chen Biwang's explanation, Qingyang finally understood that there was indeed a secret hall under the blood river, but there was a formation protecting the secret hall outside, and no one could get in without breaking the formation.
