Three days later, Chu Li stood in front of a vast lake and looked into the distance.
The mirror-flat lake surface meets the blue sky and white clouds, like two mirrors folded together, flat and empty, with nothing else around.
He knew that Taihua Valley was on this lake.
But looking around, there is nothing above the lake. Could it be that Taihua Valley is located under the lake
He immediately rejected the idea.
Mei Aoshuang was very intuitive and could feel it as soon as he got close, so he stopped getting closer and came here directly because he had seen this lake in He Binghua's mind before and knew where Taihua Valley was.
The Taihua Valley he saw in He Binghua's mind was a water pavilion on the lake, not at the bottom of the lake.
This is strange. It can be hidden on the lake and cannot be seen. Could it be a formation
He thought of Tianyan Gouchen, whom he was studying recently.
He can only study for one hour every day. After an hour, Xueling will come out to interfere and talk to him. First, he will talk about the things in the house, then the things in the martial arts, and then the things in the city. His well-informed information makes him Breathtaking.
She is currently learning dance from Bi Liu, who comes to the Duke's Mansion every day.
Bi Liu heard a lot of news in Yao Yue Tower, so he told her when he had nothing to do, and she told Chu Li, which was exactly what Chu Li wanted.
He asked Bi Liu to teach her dance, also intending to let Bi Liu become his eyes and ears.
The Jingyun Gang is now powerful and well-informed, but after all, it is only one city or two cities, and most of the people it deals with are martial arts figures, and most of the news they get is martial arts information.
Yao Yue Lou is different. Those who come to Yao Yue Lou are either rich or noble. It refers to the overt and covert fights in the imperial court and temples, or among the city guards and governors.
He looked at the lake for a while, but couldn't sense Chen Yin, so he simply stayed in the woods by the lake. Spiritual energy from all directions poured in, warming his body. He just calmed down to study the formations on Tianyan Gouchen. .

Taihua Valley
On the clear and quiet lake, there are many pavilions and pavilions dotted here and there. It is connected by a trestle in the middle. When a gust of wind blows, the lake water ripples and the fresh air floats.
Sun Lihua took Chen Yin to a waterside pavilion. Pointing to the plaque: "This Xingwan Water Pavilion is yours."
Chen Yin looked at this waterside pavilion, with windows open on all sides and white gauze curtains hanging low. A gust of wind blew and the curtains fluttered. It's really a bit poetic and beautiful.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Sun."
"Don't be so polite. We will be a family from now on." Sun Lihua pulled her into the water pavilion and said with a smile: "If you want anything, just tell me. You won't be able to leave the valley in three years. It's so pitiful."
Chen Yin smiled and said: "It's pretty good."
"Mr. Chu is really careful." Sun Lihua said with a smile: "Okay, you can rest. I will come to see you for dinner in the evening... After dinner, we will watch the martial arts competition. Senior Sister He and Senior Sister Zhu will compete."
"Why compete?"
"Fight for a Taihua Golden Pill." Sun Lihua said: "This time, Senior Sister He will come out of the valley together. There is a delay. Senior Sister Zhu is waiting impatiently."
"Taihua Golden Pill?"
"This is a miracle medicine in our valley. No matter how serious the injury is, taking one pill will heal you immediately. If you are not injured, taking it will strengthen your physique, which is worth several years of hard work!"
"Why would they fight?"
"The owner of the valley will take out a golden elixir every month, and then draw lots to draw twenty people to compete for this golden elixir." Sun Lihua shook her head and said: "I am not lucky. I won the lottery last month. In the end, we lost to Senior Sister Huang!"
Chen Yinming's eyes rolled, and she quickly thought of the beauty of this method, and said with a smile: "Then what if I never get it."
"Those who have been drawn twice cannot be drawn again this year. If you haven't been drawn yet, you can still compete in the last month." Sun Lihua said: "Anyway, everyone has a chance, it depends on your luck and martial arts. Like this time, Senior Sister He is lucky No, Senior Sister Zhu is very powerful."
"I see… "
"Junior sister Chen, you can participate next month."
"My martial arts skills are low, so it's useless if I can hit it."
"That's not necessarily the case. Sometimes you are lucky and the ones drawn are those with low martial arts skills."
Chen Yin shook her head and laughed.
Sun Lihua talked to her for a while, then said goodbye and left.
Chen Yin went in and out and looked carefully at her waterside pavilion, feeling extremely satisfied.
She is really not used to living here alone. She is used to everyone getting together and having fun in the Chu family. Although there are some minor disagreements from time to time, someone can quickly mediate them.
Now that I live alone in a house, it's a little deserted and a little quiet, and it takes some time to get used to it.
There are three waterside pavilions in total, the living room in the middle, the bedroom in the east, and the study in the west.
She came to the bedroom and opened the bundle on the couch, revealing a purple box.
She opened the box carefully. Inside were two jade bottles and a stack of plain paper with strange blood-red symbols painted on it.
She was stunned, then quickly picked up the letter, closed the purple box, and read it carefully.
Chu Li described the usage of these talismans in the letter. The two bottles of elixirs were two Taihua Golden Pills and two Qiyuan Pills.
The purple box has a special secret. It can isolate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The blood talisman is suppressed and will not dissipate. Take out one when using it.
A piece of paper talisman can last for two days and can help her speed up her practice. When these are used up, he will find a way to send some more.

The moment Chen Yin opened the purple box, Chu Li, who was sitting in the woods by the lake, felt his heart move and immediately knew the location of Taihua Valley.
He had already built a boat and was waiting for this moment.
Jumping on the boat, the boat shot out like an arrow from the bowstring. After a while, it had gone out for more than 20 miles and slowly stopped.
Chu Li stood on the bow of the boat with a surprised look on his face, staring at an empty lake.
According to his induction, Taihua Valley was not far ahead, but once the boat got close, it would inexplicably pass over that place and never get close.
It is indeed a formation!
Unexpectedly, Taihua Valley was actually shrouded in a formation. If you want to enter Taihua Valley, you must first break the formation. If you can penetrate the formation, you can enter Taihua Valley silently without being discovered by Mei Aoshuang.
It seems that Taihua Valley also has some background, and formations are not accessible to all sects.
He urged the boat back to the shore and hurried back to the Duke's Mansion.
As soon as he returned to Tianlingyuan, he learned from Xue Ling that the eldest son had returned to the house, and at the same time the envoy from Prince An's house also arrived, which was really lively.
Chu Li ignored all this and used up eight bottles of beast blood in one breath. He drew more than two hundred blood symbols. During this period, he used more than a dozen blood symbols. He was so tired that he felt dizzy. The blood symbols were replenished far faster than he consumed them. .
The next day, Suru brought Tian Yan Gou Chen. He sat in the small pavilion and looked through it. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Suru opened her bright eyes, blinked, and turned to look at Xueling.
Xueling also widened her eyes in surprise.
"What is he..." Suru said with a chuckle, "What is he going to do?"
Xueling blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Young Master may be joking."
"He is cheating!" Suru reacted completely and said angrily, "This is too much!"
"Manager, the young master does things in a measured way, don't worry, don't worry." Xueling hurriedly held her hand: "Wait and see, the young master will come back!"
"Okay, then wait for him!" Suru hesitated and hummed: "Let's see what he wants to do!"
Chu Li took Tianyan Gouchen to hide in the woods outside the Tianling Formation, took out more than fifty blood talismans, and began to study the formation.
Studying Tianyan Gouchen is no different from the academic research of later generations, which consumes a lot of brain power. The blood talisman plays a huge role at this time, replenishing his huge consumption.
He studied for two days at a stretch and thoroughly understood Tian Yan Gou Chen. (To be continued.)
