Fantasy Mountains.
In a secluded valley, a stream flows, and a dozen wooden houses are scattered on both sides of the stream. Dozens of Qi Refiners from Dark Moon live here all year round.
This is Dark Moon's stronghold in the Fantasy Mountains.
Dark Moon, Flowing Fire and Blood Skeleton have all deployed space teleportation arrays deep in the Fantasy Mountains, which can directly reach the abandoned land, ruins and ruined city.
Dark Moon, Flowing Fire, and Blood Skeleton have never stopped exploring the Fantasy Mountains, hoping to gain a new domain in the Fantasy Mountains and make a fortune.
This is also the case. These three forces specially set up strongholds in the Fantasy Mountains to only allow their own people to enter and exit the Fantasy Mountains.
Dark Moon's stronghold.
A few days after parting with Nie Tian, Hu Han, who had been traveling ten miles around Nie Tian as promised, appeared here alone.
"I want to see Master Ma Jiu." Hu Han made a request as soon as he stepped into the valley and saw a Dark Moon Qi Refiner.
The man stared at Hu Han deeply and said, "Follow me."
After a while, the man took Hu Han to the largest wooden house.
In that wooden house, there is also a small space teleportation array. This space teleportation array belongs exclusively to Dark Moon and can only be teleported in the cracked air domain.
Next to the teleportation array, a one-eyed man with bare feet and coarse linen clothes was leaning lazily on the corner.
"Lord Ma Jiu, how is my brother?"
After Hu Han came in, he bowed to the one-eyed man and said anxiously.
Ma Jiu's one eye flashed with a cold light, and he casually took out an iron box from the storage ring and threw it at Hu Han.
Hu Han took the iron box tremblingly, opened it, and burst into tears.
Inside the iron box, there is a finger.
"You and I have already made an agreement. Every other year, I will chop off one of your brother's fingers." Ma Jiu looked coldly, "You have been following Li Ye for a year and you haven't gotten any information that we, Dark Moon, need. This For a year, you have done nothing, so you can only wrong your brother."
Hu Han's shoulders were trembling, and he lowered his head as if crying softly, but there was no cry.
After a long while, Hu Han calmed down and looked up at Ma Jiu, wanting to say something.
Ma Jiu said with an indifferent expression: "In the first year, it's just one finger. In the second year, if you still have no achievements, then you have to chop off one more finger. Losing one finger is a big blow to a Qi refiner." For scholars, it has already had some impact. If three fingers are gone, you will not be able to even perform exquisite spiritual techniques in the future."
"Lord Ma Jiu, I, I came here through the space teleportation array arranged by Witch Pei in the Huankong Mountains." Hu Han was mentally shattered by Ma Jiu's words and said: "I ate the bite Heart Pill, if you can help me find the antidote to the Heart-Eating Pill, I can tell you the location of the space teleportation array."
Ma Jiu's eyes lit up, and she finally became a little more interested, and said: "Although the antidote to the Heart-Eating Pill is not easy to find, we, Dark Moon, can still solve it. You did a good job. If you could have come here earlier, you would have saved that The location of the space teleportation array shows that your brother can actually keep this finger."
Hu Han trembled and said, "Is this news enough to free my brother?"
Ma Jiu shook her head, "It's not enough."
"There is a man who came with me. He is highly regarded by Li Ye. Although he only has the cultivation level of Hou Tian, he seems to have a large number of spiritual stones." Hu Han hesitated for a moment and betrayed Nie Tian. "I I feel that if I can capture him, I can threaten Li Ye and get something from Li Ye."
"Oh." Ma Jiu said with a cold face, "You can give it a try. How much help that person can bring to your brother, in the end, it depends on what you can get from Li Ye through him."
"I understand." Hu Han looked sad.
"Give me the location of the space teleportation array. Let's tamper with the formation and move it here." Ma Jiu stood up, "The guy you mentioned only has the acquired cultivation level, go and capture it for me." Come here and bring him here.”
"Okay." Hu Han obeyed the order obediently.
…
During the day, Nie Tian was in the area.
"boom!"
A ball of blazing flames wrapped around Nie Tian's fist and smashed hard against a rock.
The rock cracked in response, and little flames jumped out from the broken rock.
Eight days flew by.
During these eight days, Nie Tian used to draw the light of stars at night, gathering them into star vortices and condensing them into star liquid.
During the day, due to the dimness of the stars, his efficiency in condensing the light of the stars was greatly reduced, so he began to practice the Yanling Jue to understand several attack techniques of the Yanling Jue.
The reason why he did not practice star movement was because once he practiced star movement, he would need to consume the star liquid in the star vortex.
Now, he has been stuck in the late stage of the acquired world for too long. He is eager to break through, so he does not want to use star power for the time being, but tries his best to accumulate it.
Only when the star liquid in the star vortex reaches a certain scale can he break through.
After eight days of hard training late at night, he had a vague feeling that the star liquid he had condensed was about to reach the critical point of breakthrough.
He became more and more afraid to use the star power contained in the star liquid easily.
During this period of time, during his hard training here, he did not encounter any spiritual beasts or people at all, nor did he see many wandering space gaps.
Li Ye really didn't lie to him. This place had indeed been over-explored and no one would set foot here.
He originally wanted to practice here with peace of mind.
However, there are always surprises in everything. When he was pulling the power of the stars that night, he released a sky eye and keenly sensed two breaths of life.
He frowned, woke up early from his cultivation state, and quietly paid attention to the direction from which the breath of life was coming.
Not long after, two qigong practitioners in tattered clothes who looked like beggars appeared here, looking like they were about to survive a disaster.
Of those two, one was at the same level as him, one was in the late Houtian realm, and one was in the early stage of the Zhongtian realm. They were both at the lower end of the food chain in the Fantasy Mountains.
The two of them explored the Huankong Mountains for three months. Not only did they find nothing, but they also exhausted all the spiritual stones they carried. They had managed to escape from a dense space gap before and came here for temporary refuge.
Those in the early stages of the Zhongtian realm, after running out of ammunition and food, no longer concentrate on condensing spiritual power to resist the filthy spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In his body, spiritual energy containing various impurities was mixed, making his flesh and blood ache. If he could not find spiritual stones to solve the troubles in his body as soon as possible, he would soon be in big trouble.
"There is someone here!"
Those who were in the early stage of the Zhongtian realm suddenly saw Nie Tian as soon as they entered this place.
He stared at Nie Tian, took a deep look, suddenly smiled, walked towards Nie Tian warmly, and said as he walked: "Little brother, can you lend some spiritual stones to us brothers? We are wandering in the Fantasy Sky Mountains. In three months, all the spiritual stones I brought have been used up, so please be more convenient, our brothers will definitely keep this in mind."
"My name is Qiu Shan, and my brother Qiu Shi is from the ruins."
As he introduced himself, he gradually approached Nie Tian. When he was still eight meters away from Nie Tian, his eyes suddenly turned sharp and he suddenly accelerated towards him.
Puffy quicksand, mixed with dark golden light, swayed from his hand and instantly enveloped Nie Tian.
The dark golden light in the quicksand is as hot as a soldering iron and has extremely strong penetrating power.
Nie Tian's expression remained motionless, the palms of his hands were evenly matched, and the various powers of different attributes in his body, mixed with flesh, flesh, essence, and spiritual power, immediately created a very small chaotic magnetic field.
The chaotic magnetic field only spread to one meter around him.
"Chichi!"
The quicksand flew down and was distorted as soon as it entered the chaotic magnetic field. The dark golden light in the quicksand suddenly fell to the ground.
At this time, Qiu Shan, who announced his name, waved a golden short stick with a ferocious smile and hit Nie Tian on the head.
The golden short stick is full of golden light, and the metallic spiritual power bursts out with little golden lights.
However, just for a moment, all the golden light quickly disappeared.
At this moment, the chaotic magnetic field created by Nie Tian has spread to the surrounding three meters.
Qiu Shan and the golden short stick he held were both within the chaotic magnetic field. When the light of the golden short stick dimmed, Qiu Shan felt as if he had been hit hard, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"act recklessly."
Nie Tian raised his hand, clenched his fist like a hammer, and connected the Fire Hammer of the Flame Spirit Art.
As soon as the flame hammer was formed, Nie Tian's left hand was like a hammer striking a soldering iron. It was as red as the flame hammer and hit Qiu Shan's head hard.
The hammer of fire, mixed with his unparalleled divine power, and the power of a punch, smashed most of Qiu Shan's head into his body.
Qiu Shan died tragically immediately without even humming.
Qiu Shan's younger brother Qiu Shi ran away without even thinking about his brother's death.
"go!"
Nie Tian's volcano-burning fist opened its five fingers, and beams of fire flew towards Qiu Shi like a flaming snake.
At the same time, he also drove the chaotic magnetic field towards Qiu Shi lightning.
"Puff puff!"
Three beams of fire shot into the back of Qiu Shi's heart, causing Qiu Shi's speeding steps to stumble forward.
Nie Tian carried the chaotic magnetic field and bullied him in. He turned his fist into a fire hammer and killed his younger brother Qiu Shi directly.
"There is no good person in the Huankong Mountains. When I came in, Li Ye reminded me repeatedly, and he was indeed right." After muttering a few words, Nie Tian rummaged through brothers Qiu Shan and Qiu Shi, but found nothing. From one spiritual stone, he only found three low-level spiritual weapons, which made him secretly disappointed.
In the next few days, Nie Tian continued to practice hard here.
After experiencing a battle with Qiu Shan Qiu Shi brothers and using the chaotic magnetic field, he found that just as he had guessed, as long as he used the chaotic magnetic field, he could ignore the dirty aura in the cracked air space.
The polluted aura and impurities mixed inside will be directly separated in the chaotic magnetic field and turned into part of the external force of the chaotic magnetic field.
The separated spiritual energy can become part of the chaotic magnetic field, or it can be absorbed and refined by him.
However, those spiritual qi were still much weaker than the spiritual qi contained in the spirit stones. Cultivation in this way was too slow and was soon abandoned by Nie Tian.
It's late at night again.
Nie Tian, who was sitting quietly, suddenly felt that he could no longer pull the power of the stars and condense the star liquid in the star vortex.
At this moment, he finally realized that the star liquid gathered in his star vortex had reached the point of overflowing.
He knew that he had reached the critical moment of breaking through to the Zhongtian realm.
At this time, his eyes hanging high in the sky noticed a fierce battle taking place nearby.
So he got up and went.
