"real?"

Xueli's almond-shaped eyes lit up, revealing an expectant look.

Zi Lan's lips also showed a hint of smile, and he said seriously: "Of course."

If I were to take Xue Li to the Ninth Heaven in the future, I would naturally let her know as much as possible about the fairyland, so that she could integrate into the other fairies as quickly as possible. Fairy arts were also a very important part of this.

Moreover, Xueli is a true divine beast after all. The techniques of the mortal world are too simple for her. Practicing immortal techniques is more conducive to Xueli's improvement. Moreover, if Xueli is really taught to practice, it is definitely not just these few single immortal techniques, but all the cultivation methods and ideas of the immortal world should be taught to her.

Zi Lan thought about this and immediately pulled Xue Li down to the yard.

He said: "The magic you saw me use before is not difficult, but if you want to use it, you can't just rely on the ideas of practicing in the mortal world. The first thing is to breathe in the magic energy, and there is also a way to control the magic energy. Watch me use it."

As he spoke, Zi Lan concentrated his spiritual energy in his hands so that Xue Li could sense it.

The immortal aura on Zi Lan's body was like floating clouds and flowing water, as natural and light as the breath and water that gathered and dispersed in the vast universe, without the slightest sense of sluggishness or stiffness, as if she had blended into it.

Xue Li could only have this feeling when she used magical medical techniques, so she was very surprised.

Seeing her staring at him with curiosity, Zi Lan was eager to try but didn't dare to touch him, so he simply directed his spiritual energy to her so that Xue Li could feel it herself.

Xue Li was suddenly surrounded by Zi Lan's aura.

She was stunned for a moment, exclaimed, and then carefully tried to touch Zi Lan's fairy aura surrounding her.

Zi Lan looked at her playing with his breath and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Although it was just fairy air, there was a feeling that the two people were very close, as if he was protecting Xueli.

Zi Lan couldn't help but ask to divert attention: "Can you feel it? Can you understand it?"

Xueli seemed unaware and happily replied, "Yeah! That's amazing!"

Xue Li touched Zi Lan's fairy spirit as if she felt the wind, and it was like warm water running through her fingers.

She simply drew out a strand of her own spiritual energy and merged it into Zi Lan's spiritual energy, entwining it with his and flowing along his trajectory.

It was the first time that Xue Li used this method to control her spiritual energy, and she was a little clumsy, but she was able to follow along roughly.

When Zi Lan saw Xue Li's aura merge with her own, her eyes flickered slightly and she felt even more shy, but she still led her silently. Sometimes, when she saw that Xue Li's aura could not keep up, she would turn back and pull her.

The two of them worked silently like this for two rounds.

Zi Lan said, "You should circulate your spiritual energy in this way every day. If you forget, just come and tell me. In addition, there are some auxiliary mental formulas and basic techniques. I will write them down for you in the room later, and you can write them down together."

Zi Lan paused for a moment and then said, "If you don't understand, come and ask me."

"Um!"

Most of the immortal arts and secrets in the immortal world are recorded in the immortal language, which cannot be explained clearly in mortal language. However, Xue Li has just begun to learn the immortal language, and she only has a vague understanding of it. It is difficult for her to speak, let alone understand the obscure techniques and secrets. Most of the time, she still has to rely on Zi Lan to teach her step by step.

Xue Li agreed with great anticipation.

But just after she agreed, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she yawned tiredly.

Xue Li didn't sleep much last night, and was a little flustered when she saw Zi Lan in the morning. After using her spiritual energy for a week, she immediately felt sleepy.

She rubbed her eyes and said embarrassedly, "I'm still a little sleepy. I want to go back to sleep for a while."

Zi Lan said, "Well, go to bed."

Xueli asked: "Aren't you going back to the house to rest?"

When Xue Li came out of the house, it was still dawn. Zi Lan got up very early and slept for a short time.

Zi Lan's heart softened when he saw Xue Li's concern for him, but he said in a deep voice, "I want to practice outside for a while. I haven't used dual swords for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."

"oh."

Xue Li thought that it was because she ran out and interrupted Zi Lan's practice that he did not finish it, so she stopped disturbing him, waved her hand, and ran back to the house with her tail dragging.

Zi Lan watched Xue Li enter the house, then he adjusted his breathing, took out his two swords and held them tightly in his hands, then leaped up again according to the sword style. Soon, a neat "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound was heard in the silence.

But after a while, Zi Lan frowned slightly, but the action of holding the sword in his hand did not stop.

I felt it again.

For a moment he was aware of that strange aura again.

Although it was only a brief moment, it was silent and fleeting, almost like an illusion, but Zi Lan still felt it.

In a flash, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction where the breath disappeared!

Zi Lan's wolf eyes were sharp and his steps were as agile as lightning. He rushed into the forest at an extremely fast speed!

The breath probably did not expect Zi Lan's reaction to be so sudden and violent. Not long after, Zi Lan saw a faint black gas rising from the deep jungle, like a lingering thick fog. This was the first time he saw the entity of that strange breath.

The cluster of black air didn't react until it realized Zi Lan was so close to it in an instant, and its first reaction was to run.

However, before the cluster of black gas disappeared, Zi Lan had already rushed in front of him at the speed of wind, with the double blades in his hands flashing!

Swipe!

The black fog was instantly cut in half by the two sharp swords!

The half that was struck by Zi Lan instantly vanished into thin air, but the other half fled as if it had life, disappearing in the dense forest in one breath, leaving no trace at all.

Zi Lan originally tried to look for it, but after finding nothing, he had to stop.

But the solemnity between his brows did not dissipate.

Zi Lan had suspected from the beginning that his fall from the Nine-Layered Golden Pagoda was not an accident.

He remembered it clearly. Before he fell from the sky, he had sensed a strange and unfamiliar aura. Then the divine fire that his parents had lit for him was extinguished. He caught a cold and felt a severe pain in his back. It was obvious that he was pushed down from the Yuntai illusion.

The divine fire was supposed to be inexhaustible, but it was extinguished, most likely by human intervention.

After the abnormal storm in the fairyland last time, Zi Lan also sensed a similar aura when everyone went to see the tigress. Since then, he has been on high alert, always paying attention to the movements around him, fearing any mishap, so when the same thing happened again this time, he was immediately prepared.

Zi Lan suspected that someone was chasing him from the Ninth Heaven and found him in this small fairyland.

But who could this person be and why would he do this

Also, the fairyland where Xue Li lives has such a tight barrier. People inside can enter and exit, but outsiders cannot find this place. So how did that small cluster of black fog get in

Zi Lan's mind was full of doubts, and he held the two swords tightly in his hands. After a long time, when he was sure that he could not find the shadow of the black fog, he began to walk towards the wooden house.

There was still peace in the wooden house, and Xueli and Fairy Shaoyin were both sleeping soundly.

Zi Lan quietly lifted the curtain a little, and saw Xueli curled up in the quilt like a ball of fur, with only a little bit of the tip of her snow-white ears showing. She was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, and her little body rose and fell rhythmically.

At the same time, in the Ninth Heaven, within the Wolf Realm.

"Lord Wolf King, Lord Wolf Queen, Young Master... Still no news."

After the Wolf Officer finished his report, there was a silent and depressing atmosphere in the Wolf Realm Fairy Palace.

The wolf queen was silent for a while, then she waved her sleeves and said, "I understand. You guys continue with your work."

Half a year had passed since Zi Lan's accident in the Golden Pagoda. In just a few months, the Wolf Queen's originally gorgeous appearance had aged a lot in an instant. There was already a decadent dark blue under her eyes, and white hair was mixed in her black hair. The appearance of people in the fairy world should not be affected by aging and illness, but the Wolf Queen was like a withering flower, and her age was revealed in a short period of time.

The wolf king's condition wasn't much better. His eyes were always hazy and one could tell at a glance that he was worried.

When they were the only two left in the hall, the Wolf Queen finally sighed and said in pain: "My Lan'er..."

The young master has been missing for more than half a year, his life or death is unknown, and not even a trace of his presence has been found. Everyone knows that he is in great danger.

After they sent Zi Lan to touch the golden pagoda that day, they had been waiting outside the Yuntai for about five days and five nights. The golden pagoda was flickering. Just when they thought Zi Lan would come out in a day or two, they saw a crack on the golden pagoda! The divine fire furnaces at the four corners of the Yuntai were all extinguished!

The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen were horrified at the time. The sacred fire furnace was used by them to protect their beloved son who had suffered from cold since childhood. But before they could use magic to protect the lamp again, they saw Zi Lan, who was seriously injured and bleeding, appear at the edge of the cloud platform, and then fell straight down -

When they rushed over to look for Zi Lan, there was no news of him, whether in the Ninth Heaven, the Lower Fairyland or the Mortal Realm.

It's like evaporating from the world.

The Wolf King and Queen had only one son, and they found it hard to accept this situation. They immediately mobilized all the forces in the Wolf Realm to search for him. They also tried their best, but there was still no news of Zi Lan in half a year.

The Queen of Wolves reached out and opened the file in front of her and the Wolf King.

During their search for Zi Lan, they of course needed to seek help from the immortals in other fairylands and palaces in the Nine Heavens. As a result, they discovered something shocking and could not be ignored.

At this time, another wolf officer came in and reported: "Lord Wolf King, Lord Wolf Queen, I have asked, and the Black Bird Clan that controls the constellation of Bi also lost a princess of their own clan 320 years ago. An accident also occurred during the tribulation in the golden pagoda, and she disappeared after the tribulation failed."

As the wolf officer spoke, he carefully observed the expressions of the wolf king and queen.

The Wolf Queen's gaze was still focused on the file in front of her. Above the file was a picture of star-holding divine beasts, arranged in a row, a total of twenty-eight divine beasts.

On the file, the gods are listed one by one according to time and clan.

Eight hundred and thirty-nine years ago, the Kangsu Golden Dragon Clan lost one of its young masters.

Seven hundred years ago, the Red Leopard Clan of Jixu lost one of its generals.

Six hundred and eighty years ago, a civilian official of the Xingxiu Tianma tribe went missing.

… Etc., etc.

Since the inexplicable disappearance of the entire Nine-tailed Fox tribe thousands of years ago, over the past thousand years, except for the Nine-tailed Fox tribe that has disappeared without a trace, members of the Star-Holding Divine Beast tribe have been missing or killed one after another, and their whereabouts are unknown. Now, a total of 23 tribes are involved, with a total of 37 people.

The author has something to say: Fox Qiuqiu said that she wanted to show everyone a stunt today called turning into a dumpling.
