I can identify everything, but the level is increased by one

"Special field, attracting death energy?"

Su Han raised his eyebrows slightly, sensing that things were not simple.

Yuan Xingkong sighed:

"That's right, this matter is very troublesome. Although the cycle of life and death is balanced in the world, life energy still dominates overall. That's why we have this vibrant world, and not just walking corpses everywhere."

"But this doesn't mean that death energy can't suppress life energy."

"For example, in this situation, death energy continuously gathers, forming a special field, which will suppress the life energy within the field. Even the surrounding land will become a dead zone."

"On dead ground, no living beings can survive; those who enter shall die."

"Therefore, once this special field is completely formed, and death energy continues to gather, then the entire Ping An County, with its tens of thousands of residents, will be finished, completely turning into a dead city!"

Su Han thoughtfully inquired, "Is there a way to solve it?"

"It's very difficult. Even if a Qi Gate expert takes action, it would be a close call."

Yuan Xingkong explained:

"Because death energy is too special. It's generally rare, but when a large amount appears and gathers together, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Even Qi Gate experts will be wary and avoid it."

"Otherwise, once they are contaminated by this death energy and their innate essence is eroded, Qi Gate experts will also suffer a great loss of vitality. Few people are willing to bear this cost and risk."

"To put it bluntly, the value of a Qi Gate expert is far greater than that of Ping An County,

even if there are hundreds of thousands of residents in this city."

Su Han was speechless. These words were too blunt, but also realistic.

Qi Gate experts have already transcended humanity, practically being walking natural disasters. Among millions of martial artists, there might not even be one Qi Gate, let alone the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Ping An County.

"There's no need to be too pessimistic. That special field hasn't completely formed yet. As long as we interrupt the trend of death energy gathering, we can solve this problem, but only if no one is secretly manipulating things."

Yuan Xingkong comforted, but also had some worries.

Not only was there a tide of households, but also the gathering of death energy. There must be a connection to Ye Chuxue, this Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, but he didn't believe that no one was manipulating things behind the scenes.

"This matter probably started because of me. I can help."

Ye Chuxue sighed and spoke, saying firmly.

"You?" Yuan Xingkong frowned.

Yuan Xingkong raised his eyebrows. He naturally didn't know the secret art of Qi Observation, but as a martial artist about to break through to the Qi Gate level, he could naturally sense the subtle Qi of heaven and earth a little. Immediately, he unfolded his mind to sense it.

After a moment, he suddenly discovered.

The Calamity Aura that was originally缠绕around Ye Chuxue, which made his heart tremble and instinctively urged him to stay away, had weakened a lot, now almost negligible.

He was suddenly shocked in his heart and spoke:

"Su Han, you didn't do this, did you?"

Ye Chuxue smiled and said, "Of course it's his credit. What's wrong? As the Pavilion Master, you don't even know what your subordinates are capable of. You're slacking off, aren't you? Indeed, it's a waste for him to stay under you."

"If this ability were placed in the Prefecture or even the Main Pavilion, obtaining the status of an elite member would be more than enough,

and he could even enter the core training sequence, competing with all the geniuses of the Great Li."

"Hmph, this Pavilion Master is busy with a myriad of affairs every day, what's wrong with neglecting it?"

Yuan Xingkong naturally refused to show weakness and retorted.

He coughed and continued to speak, "This ability of yours shouldn't have too many side effects, right? Don't be infatuated with this old woman, she's already so old and still pretending to be young."

Ye Chuxue immediately sneered upon hearing this:

"Yuan Xingkong, would you dare to say these words to the Palace and Master Liu in person? How do I remember that when you met Master Liu, you only knew how to flatter him, saying how young he looked?"

Su Han's expression was subtle.

So Pavilion Master Yuan also has times when he flatters and butters up.

Seeing someone expose his shortcomings and slander his good image in the hearts of his subordinates, Yuan Xingkong was immediately furious and said, "Ye Chuxue, I've endured you for a long time. I wanted to beat you up back in the Palace. You're so arrogant, do you have the guts to fight me!"

"Fight, then fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Hmph, what kind of decorum is it to fight in front of juniors? Let's go outside and fight!"

Yuan Xingkong flashed out of the Golden Pavilion, and Ye Chuxue followed closely behind. After a moment, Su Han heard explosions and rumbling sounds in the distance outside.

However, the fighting quickly stopped.

Ye Chuxue slowly walked back, patted her hands, smiled disdainfully, and was very proud. Behind her was a slightly disheveled,

Yuan Xingkong, touching his head and rubbing his arms, but also looking unconvinced.

He muttered, somewhat puzzled:

"It doesn't make sense. You and I are at the same level, about to achieve Qi Gate. Why are you stronger than me by a line? But don't be proud, I was just caught off guard!"

Ye Chuxue smiled disdainfully and spat out two words:

"Weakling."

Although she said that, she was also a little surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that after temporarily removing the mountain of Calamity Aura, her whole body would be so relaxed, and she could unleash such a level of combat power.

This was all thanks to this child, Su Han.

Su Han understood what was going on.

Okay, it seems that these two didn't fight seriously.

But Pavilion Master Yuan definitely suffered a loss.

However, from this, it seems that Ye Chuxue's strength is indeed powerful. He still remembered the scene when Yuan Xingkong fought those three Outer Path cultivators with all his might, without falling behind, and even faintly gaining the upper hand.

Did these two come from the Palace?

It seems that the Palace is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

I just don't know why Liu Changfeng is so weak.

"This Pavilion Master is too lazy to argue with a poor ghost."

Yuan Xingkong quickly adjusted his mentality, thought for a moment, found his superior position, and sneered. Ye Chuxue's face stiffened upon hearing this, but she was helpless.

She was indeed a poor ghost.

But so what? Anyway, you can't fight as well as me.

As outstanding talents of the Palace, the two quickly found the areas where they could win, and their mentality suddenly balanced, both feeling that the other was a clown and there was no need to argue with a clown.

Yuan Xingkong said in a deep voice:

"Since that's the case, I won't say any more nonsense. Since the hidden dangers in your body have been temporarily resolved by Su Han, then you can indeed help to stop the continuous gathering of death energy."

He then looked at Su Han and asked, "But Su Han, can you contact Real Person Linghua? Although he is an Outer Path cultivator, he is also a great cultivator at the Qi Gate level and should have some solutions."

There may be someone pushing the gathering of death energy behind the scenes.

Maybe even more than one.

We must take multiple layers of insurance.

Su Han nodded, "It's possible, but I can't guarantee that Real Person Linghua will definitely agree. After all, you also know,

I am only the Dao Child in his eyes, not the actual Dao Lord of the Louguan Dao."

Louguan Dao, Dao Child?

Listening to their conversation, Ye Chuxue suddenly recalled a discovery she had made during an adventure and became thoughtful.

"Just do your best, no need to force it."

Yuan Xingkong nodded and led Ye Chuxue away again, without taking Su Han. After all, the aura of death was too dangerous, and the matter was too mysterious. With weak strength, accidents could easily happen.

If he was even slightly careless, and was infected by the aura of death, or was ambushed,

Even he might not have the confidence to return alive.

Su Han sighed, truly a troubled time.

They wouldn't even let a person rest for a day.

He turned and returned to the backyard, found Qingxuan who was still sweeping the floor, and explained everything that had just happened, asking him to contact Linghua Old Daoist. Unexpectedly, this time Qingyue didn't give him a dirty look, but nodded and sent the message very readily.

To this, Qingxuan only smiled slightly, explaining:

"Daozi, you were right last night. It was my fault. I wanted to condense the Pure Heart in order to defeat you, rather than to purify my heart. This is actually putting the cart before the horse. Qingxuan has been taught a lesson."

Su Han was surprised.

This was more than just reflecting on one's own heart and clearing away distracting thoughts, wasn't it?

His own heart lamp could not only heal those who had Qi Deviation,

But also allow others to have an epiphany?

After a while, Qingxuan received a reply. After reading it, he shook his head: "I'm sorry to disappoint Daozi. Master said that he is currently making arrangements for Daozi's inheritance in advance and has no time to attend to such miscellaneous matters."

"However, Master also said that if Daozi is willing to immediately return to Louguan Dao to inherit the position of Daozi, he would have time to help Daozi resolve the matter of the aura of death."

Su Han immediately smiled. What a Linghua Old Daoist.

Linghua's intentions were obvious to everyone.

As he had expected, Linghua Old Daoist would not always accommodate him. While giving him preferential treatment, he would inevitably propose corresponding conditions to achieve his own interests and goals.

He was not angry about this, it was just a normal act of pursuing interests.

On the contrary, if Linghua Old Daoist kept giving him benefits without requiring him to pay a price or fulfill obligations, he would be a little worried and would have to start thinking about what he was being valued for.

Su Han asked again: "What about the Five Elements Mystical Qi?"

"Master said that he is still continuously collecting it. Once a certain amount is reached, it will be sent to Daozi. The Five Elements Mystical Qi is not so easy to collect, even for a great cultivator like Master."

"On this point, please forgive Daozi."

Qingxuan replied respectfully.

"No need, as long as he has the intention to collect it. Since that's the case, I won't disturb you. In fact, sweeping the floor is also a good job. It doesn't involve too much interaction with others and can calm the mind and focus the spirit."

Su Han responded, thinking of the story of the Sweeping Monk from his previous life.

He left straight away, heading to Li Wu's blacksmith shop.

But the answer he quickly received was that Li Wu was just a swordsmith, only responsible for forging swords, and was currently just staying here as a guest, and the accommodation fee had already been paid.

But it was obvious that Li Wu would not take action either.

However, Su Han always felt that these words had some deeper meaning.

The accommodation fee for staying here had also been paid?

Who was the accommodation fee for this suspected Qi Transformation Grandmaster paid to?

He shook his head, forget it, relying on others is still unreliable in the end.

He had never considered Linghua Old Daoist's conditions. The current situation had not yet reached a critical point, otherwise, with the character of the Yuan Hall Master, he would have exploded long ago. Why bother taking the time to fight with Ye Chuxue.

Presumably, there was still some time.

There was no need to put himself in a weak position and be manipulated.

Now he still had to rely on himself.

The aura of death gathering?

He weighed the jade bottle in his hand, which was filled with pure aura of death, and smiled softly. He would see whether the aura of death gathered faster or his own speed of condensing the Dao Pattern of Life and Death was faster.

Su Han returned to the Golden Pavilion and closed himself up again.

He first adjusted his state, his heart thrumming, his Qi and blood surging, and he did not hesitate to consume the Wood Essence Qi that he had kept for a long time, and even continuously absorbed the surrounding Wood Mystical Qi through the Five Elements Dao Pattern, so that his flame of vitality reached its peak state.

Then, he slowly opened the jade bottle. A mass of black aura of death rushed towards him, attracted by the vigorous vitality, and without him using the Canxia Drinking Qi ability, it had already entered his body.

But the aura of death, as a fierce thing, was not just here as a guest.

Inside the body, wherever the mass of aura of death passed, it immediately became decayed, and the functions of the organs gradually became senile, like some old people whose bodies were already half-buried in the yellow earth, exuding the smell of old age.

This was the terrifying aspect of the aura of death.

As long as the body's vitality was insufficient, even if your battle strength was strong, you could only grow old and die. Some strong people whose lifespan was about to end avoided the aura of death like tigers, fearing that touching it or accidentally inhaling it would cause their lifespan to reach its end ahead of time.

But fortunately, Su Han was young and his Qi and blood were vigorous. In addition, he had made preparations in advance, and the flame of vitality was in a vigorous state, so he was not caught off guard by the aura of death.

Therefore, those decayed places were quickly repaired one by one by the surging vitality, and they confronted the mass of aura of death, forming a balanced state of decay and new life, and then decay and new life again.

If there was a stat bar,

One would definitely see Su Han's health bar jumping back and forth.

But this state was also just right for Su Han to condense the Dao Pattern of Life and Death, and he needed to do it as soon as possible. After all, both his own flame of vitality and this mass of aura of death were limited.

Whether the aura of death overwhelmed the flame of vitality, or the flame of vitality burned away the aura of death, would make the process of condensing the Dao Pattern of Life and Death fall short. Although if it was the former, he would definitely lose his life.

The meridians, flesh, and bones throughout his body were swept by the aura of death, decaying, and then rescued by the ignited flame of vitality, beginning to regenerate, tempering the whole body in the cycle of regeneration and decay.

Gradually, Su Han gradually adapted to this feeling.

The health bar also gradually stabilized.

It was as if the Ox-Head and Horse-Face were cursing and returning to the Underworld.

At the origin of the bones, the Dao Pattern of Life, representing vitality and the flame of vitality, and the Dao Pattern of Death, representing the aura of death and decay, gradually took shape according to the mystery of the Dao Pattern Tempering Bone Method, and spontaneously began to merge into one, like the Taiji Yin-Yang fish, embracing each other.

The repulsion between life and death was even lower than that of the five elements.

Su Han was a little surprised by this.

Could it be because life and death inherently involve Yin and Yang properties?

Sure enough, the Dao of Life and Death and the Five Elements were still too mysterious. With his current realm, he simply couldn't understand them.

If he hadn't cultivated this Dao Pattern Tempering Bone Method from the future, he wouldn't have been qualified to condense Dao Patterns and touch these mysterious scenes.

I also don't know who created this Dao Pattern Tempering Bone Method.

He actually had such great talent.

Su Han sighed in his heart. After a while, the Dao Pattern of Life and Death was completely formed. Black and white Qi of Life and Death permeated his whole body, exuding the Dao Intent of Life and Death, evolving the wonder of withering and flourishing, and having some kind of vision.

After a while, the vision disappeared, and the ability of the Dao Pattern was born.

He sensed it for a moment and was immediately shocked. It was actually this kind of ability?
