I can strengthen

Chapter 249 Stability
Swish!
Like a long rainbow, the Huolin Sword caught up with Chen Wudi in an instant and pierced through his body with the sound of cutting through the air.

then.

Turning back, he flew towards Luo Yan in a circle.

And Chen Wudi fell straight down like a shot down bird.

"Kill you with one sword."

Luo Yan's voice was cold, and while speaking, he also chased after him, retracted the Fire Lin Sword halfway, and then came to Chen Wudi.

His complexion was slightly pale, and he was panting slightly.

Using the Fire Lin Sword consumed him a lot, but even so, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

A top-grade spiritual weapon is worthy of being a top-grade spiritual weapon. In front of the Huolin Sword, Chen Wudi's Yuan magnetic force field is as fragile as thin paper, and it is not vulnerable to a single blow.

He lowered his head and looked at Chen Wudi.

I saw a big hole in Chen Wudi's chest, but there wasn't a trace of blood flowing out from the edge of the hole, instead, scalding steam kept coming out.

Chen Wudi stared, his pupils trembling slightly, staring at Luo Yan with deep-seated resentment.

"Dogs, men and women, do you think...kill me and it's over? Dingbo Mansion...will not let it go..."

"Noisy." Luo Yan directly kicked Chen Wudi.

Before he finished speaking, Chen Wudi's head tilted and he was completely out of breath, only his round eyes were left, and there was still an incomparably vicious hatred remaining.

"If you die, you have to speak harshly..."

Luo Yan shook his head.

I don't understand why so many people like to say harsh words before dying.

He squatted down, groped Chen Wudi for a while, and finally took off a ring.

"Storage ring?"

Luo Yan took a look and found that the storage space is quite large, with tens of thousands of cubic meters.

Among them were mountains of Forbidden Magic Stones and some of Chen Wudi's personal belongings.

For example... a bottle of spiritual essence carefully sealed in a crystal bottle.

Luo Yan counted carefully, a total of one hundred bottles of spirit essence.

After the spirit marrow is refined, it can provide a lot of spiritual power.

For Daoji monks, spiritual marrow is the best and most precious cultivation resource, and its effect is more than a hundred times better than that of elixir such as Yunling Pill.

"This spirit...is it also a specialty of this Wujue Island?"

Luo Yan's eyes flickered.

Looking at Chen Wudi's body again, he rolled up his sleeves and flew up into the air.

Soon.

He returned to Chen Wudi's mansion.

As soon as it landed, a female voice came from the side.

"solved?"

It was Fei Qingshu.

Luo Yan turned his head to look, and calmly said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. This time, it's lucky to have a girl cooperate."

Fei Qingshu smiled slightly and said, "The honey buds can only add to the cake, even without my cooperation, fellow daoists should be able to kill Chen Wudi."

She watched the battle between Luo Yan and Chen Wudi.

Naturally, they are well aware of the strength of the two.

"No, I can not."

Luo Yan said politely, looked at Fei Qingshu carefully, and was finally relieved to see her smiling happily.

Fortunately.

This woman was not moved by Chen Wudi, she was really happy that Chen Wudi died.

"Are there any flowers on my face?" Seeing Luo Yan staring at her, Fei Qingshu asked with some doubts.

"No." Luo Yan withdrew his gaze and turned sideways to face him: "Chen Wudi has already been executed, what is the girl's plan next?"

"Leave here first, and then..." Fei Qingshu said, "Go back to Chaos Demon Sea."

Luo Yan nodded, and said: "Once Chen Wudi dies, the Dingbo Mansion will probably be able to detect it, so the girl should leave immediately."

Fei Qingshu was stunned, and asked curiously, "What about you? What are your plans?"

Luo Yan said: "I still have something to do..."

He hasn't searched Chen Wudi's family property yet, and he hasn't figured out the origin of the spirit essence yet.

Fei Qingshu blinked and continued to ask: "What's the matter?"

Luo Yan said calmly, "I'm going to liberate the miners."

Fei Qingshu looked sideways, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go first, and I hope there will be a chance to meet again in the future."

She felt Luo Yan's perfunctory attitude, and originally wanted to chat with Luo Yan, but now she also extinguished this thought.

Luo Yan: "Well, let's go."

Fei Qingshu felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, but she turned around and planned to leave.

But before leaving, she turned back and asked, "By the way, I don't know the name of my friend yet."

Luo Yan: "Just call me Daoist Yan."

Sensing Luo Yan's increasingly perfunctory attitude, Fei Qingshu smiled helplessly and said, "Understood, Fellow Daoist Yan."

After finishing speaking, she shook her head, turned into a ray of light, and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Luo Yan turned his head and watched Fei Qingshu leave. He didn't look at a group of silent black-armored monks beside him until the light disappeared completely.

"Whoever is in charge, stand up!"

These black-armored monks are outstanding in guarding the mansion.

But facing Luo Yan, they didn't dare to resist at all, and everyone cooperated extremely.

soon.

Under the watchful eyes of other black-armored monks, a man in charge stepped forward tremblingly.

"My humble servant is the steward of this mansion, what do you want to ask?" the steward said stumblingly.

He had witnessed the battle in the sky with his own eyes.

He never thought that the invincible Chen Wudi would be defeated so easily.

That's a strong man in the middle stage of the Dao Foundation.

And this person in front of him is no stranger to him, he was a lowly miner in the gas refining period two months ago!
If the adults hadn't given the opportunity, these lowly miners would have stayed in the mine for a lifetime, and then died quietly.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Chen Wudi was counterattacked and killed.

"Can you open the collars on those miners' necks?" Luo Yan asked with narrowed eyes.

"This..." The steward showed hesitation.

"Huh?" Luo Yan's expression darkened.

"Yes, yes! I have a special key in my hand, which can open it." The steward said quickly, and at the same time carefully took out a key, held it up with both hands, and presented it to Luo Yan.

He was sweating profusely, bitter in his heart.

It doesn't matter if Chen Wudi is dead, just wait for people from Dingbo Mansion to come and take over.

But hand over this key...

He didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Luo Yan didn't take the key. He glanced at the black-armored monks around him, and said indifferently: "Take the key, and open the miner's collar. Then, let them leave Endless Island."

"Ah? This..."

A group of black-armored monks all trembled in disbelief.

There may be thousands of miners in the mine. If they are all released, the mine on Wujue Island may be paralyzed in an instant.

The steward looked bitter, but he had already thought of this.

"Why, do you have an opinion?" Luo Yan spoke indifferently, and his murderous intentions gradually rose.

Sensing the killing intent on Luo Yan, the black-armored monks glanced at each other and shook their heads: "Don't dare, we'll go right away."

Done.

They took the key and left in a panic.

Luo Yan watched the group of black-armored monks leave, then turned to look at the housekeeper again, and asked, "Does Chen Wudi have a secret room? Where is the Forbidden Stone warehouse?"

The housekeeper shook his head, and said cautiously: "Chen Wudi doesn't trust anyone, and carries all his belongings with him. There are no secret rooms and warehouses..."

"No?" Luo Yan emphasized his tone.

"Really not." The housekeeper wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Then...Where did Chen Wudi's forbidden magic stone go?"

Some of the Forbidden Stones mined from Wujue Island must have been transported away by people from Dingbo Mansion.

But Chen Wudi's greedy part is more, and it is impossible to use all of it.

"Chen Wudi has been sold. He has his own connections, I don't know anything about it..." The housekeeper was a little panicked.

"That's it."

Luo Yan thought about it, one dared to sell it, and the other just received it, either the money was touching people's hearts, or the force that bought the forbidden magic stone was not afraid of Dingbo Mansion.

Thinking like this, he extinguished the idea of ​​continuing to pursue the forbidden magic stone, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "What about the spiritual essence? How much spiritual essence can be produced every year on this endless island?"

"Spiritual marrow?"

The housekeeper thumped in his heart, looked at Luo Yan's cold eyes, swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously: "My lord does not know that the spirit marrow is a product of extremes, the amount is very small, and whether it can be mined depends on luck. "

"So, I don't know how much spiritual marrow can be produced every year."

"By the way, there is a man named Qin Tian in the mine, who is Chen Wudi's confidant, responsible for helping Chen Wudi collect the spiritual essence. He must know more."

Qin Tian……

Luo Yan's eyes flashed, he ignored the trembling butler, walked around the mansion twice, and then flew towards the mine.

Visible to the naked eye.

One by one, the miners were ecstatically fleeing outwards, and among them were some black-armored monks who seemed to feel that it would be dangerous to stay here, so they also fled outwards with the flow of people.

Following the death of Chen Wudi, the entire Wujue Island fell into chaos.

After Luo Yan fell into the mine, he walked around it twice, then changed his appearance, turned into an unremarkable miner, and fled to the outside of the island.

He did not look for that Qin Tian.

Because of the complicated environment at the bottom of the mine, it was impossible for him to find Qin Tian in a short time.

Instead of wasting time looking for Qin Tian, ​​he might as well run away directly, lest he capsize in the gutter and be caught up by the large troops of Dingbo Mansion.

But before leaving, he also feinted.

From everyone's point of view, he entered the mine.

But in fact, he had already left.

……

……

"Brother Ma, thanks to you this time, otherwise, the sea is vast, and I really don't know where to go." Luo Yan was wearing a miner's uniform, sitting in a small boat, with a bitter smile on his face.

His current identity is an escaped miner.

Homeless, alone, with a lost head.

And the brother Ma he was talking about was a monk named Ma Yuan.

Ma was originally a black-armored guard on Wujue Island. This time when Chen Wudi died, he felt that something was wrong, so he also left Wujue Island, planning to go home and find another way of life.

And the black-covered boat the two of them sat on belonged to Ma Yuan.

"Haha, it's just a ride with you, it's no big deal. Brother Yan, just don't hate me as a guard." Ma Yuan grinned.

Originally, he came to this endless island just to make a living.

After taking off his black skin, he felt inexplicably relaxed.

Luo Yan said nothing, just said: "I think Brother Ma is also very good, why do you want to come to this Wujue Island to act as a guard?"

Hearing this, Ma Yuan curled his lips and said disapprovingly, "Why else? Money. Not everyone can be a guard, he must be someone the Dingbo Mansion can trust."

"At the beginning, I spent a full 1 yuan in spirit stones to buy a place as a guard."

"If I don't get it back, can I go?"

hiss……

Luo Yan took a breath and said in shock, "1 yuan in spirit stones?"

Ma Yuan chuckled, and said rather braggingly, "How is it? I'm scared. A late-stage Qi refining monk like you probably won't get access to 1 yuan of spirit stones in his lifetime."

Luo Yan quite agreed, and sighed: "Yes. I was not good at first, and now I have been working in the mine for two years, and my health is not good. After I go out, I don't know if I can earn [-] spirit stones in this life. "

Ma Yuan patted Luo Yan's shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just a temporary drop in the realm, the size of the dantian remains the same, and it will recover in a few days."

Luo Yan forced a smile and sighed, "Mana can be recovered, but how can the damage to the body be compensated?"

Ma Yuan fell silent.

Being a miner on Wujue Island is indeed a particularly tragic thing.

Although he is only working with money, he is helping the evildoers after all. He is not the culprit, but he is also guilty.

It was okay to wear black leather before, but now that he took off the black leather and looked at Luo Yan with a sad face, he felt the same, and felt guilty at the same time.

"Brother Yan, why don't you...you go back with me?" Ma Yuan suddenly said as if he had made a great determination.

"Go back with you? What do you mean?" Luo Yan was stunned.

He was just acting and maintaining his personality, did Ma Yuan really take it seriously?
"Hey, actually, I have a younger sister who is going to marry now, and she looks pretty good. Brother Yan is unaccompanied anyway, why not... hang out with my sister?" Ma Yuan thought, the more he looked at Luo Yan more satisfied.

Although he was dressed in a coarse cloth jacket, his face was a bit vicissitudes.

But handsome and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple and honest face... coupled with the fiery masculinity all over his body.

Such a man, at first glance, stands upright and reliable!

The only downside is that his cultivation base is a bit poor, and after two years of mining, the future path may be completely cut off.

But that's not a big deal.

With his Ma Yuan around, he can naturally cover his sister and brother-in-law.

Thinking like this, he urged: "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he smiled awkwardly and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, brother-in-law, I made it easy, oh no...it's brother-in-law, bah...Brother Yan! Brother Yan!"

"..."

Luo Yan scratched her hair, seeming a little shy: "Brother Ma, forget it, your sister's marriage is a big deal, how can you make decisions for her so hastily?"

"Why not? The elder brother is the father. She must listen to what I say!" Ma Yuan said with a straight face, firmly.

"Brother Ma, you can't say that. The times have changed, and the idea of ​​parents' arranged marriages is outdated." Luo Yan shook his head and argued.

"I didn't expect Brother Yan to be so open-minded."

Ma Yuan glanced at Luo Yan in surprise, with an increasingly satisfied expression on his face.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a simple and honest face, although it means reliable, but it may also be too pedantic.

He was still worried about this at first, but after hearing Luo Yan's words, the worry in his heart disappeared immediately.

Brother Yan is a good monk who keeps pace with the times, so that's even better.

"Brother Yan, then...we'll talk after we meet?" Ma Yuan tried to ask.

Luo Yan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let's meet first. But I think I'm probably not good enough for Lingmei. And the betrothal gift..."

He spread his hands, looking helpless.

As a miner who had just escaped from the disaster, he definitely had no savings.

Seeing this, Ma Yuan quickly waved his hands and said, "No dowry."

Luo Yan was silent, hesitant to speak but stopped saying: "It's not just the bride price... After getting married, everything needs to be spent..."

Ma Yuan waved his hand and interrupted: "I'll sell the house, if you don't have money, ask me for it!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel something was wrong, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he quickly explained: "I'll give you the house, and the standard Gathering Formation will have everything, so my nephew will not be left behind in the initial stage."

"As for the rest, I'll take you to earn it."

"You are also a late-stage Qi refining monk. With this level of cultivation, it is not a problem to get a living."

Luo Yan: "..."

Luo Yan touched his face and sighed: "Okay, let's talk about it after we meet."

Let's go to Chaos Demon Sea with Ma Yuan first.

Everything, wait until the sea of ​​chaos.

"By the way, Brother Ma, if you go straight like this, will Dingbo Mansion let you go?" Luo Yan asked suddenly.

"do not know……"

Ma Yuan's face became serious, but he quickly shook his head and explained: "Brother Yan, don't worry, there are people above me. As for you... Wujue Island doesn't have a list of miners in order not to be settled by others. As long as you don't take the initiative Speaking of it, no one will know that you were a miner on Wujue Island, and Dingbo Mansion dare not make a big show of arresting you."

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

……

……

The black-covered boat swayed and swayed slightly in the sea.

The time seems to be getting longer, and the world has become vast, as if there is only this small boat left in the world.

Luo Yan stayed on the boat, floating in the sea, and all his troubles disappeared.

Until the Wupeng boat docked, no monk from Dingbo Mansion caught up.

"arrive."

Ma Yuan stretched, opened the curtain and walked to the bow, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

"Is this the Guixu City you're talking about?"

Luo Yan also walked out of the cabin and looked at the city in front of him.

On the way, Ma Yuan mentioned that the destination of this trip is called Guixu City, which is a prosperous city.

Seeing it now, as expected.

The cities that Luo Yan encountered in the past generally only occupied part of the entire island, basically no more than one-third of it.

But this Guixu City is like a city on the sea. Looking around, there are rows of buildings of all kinds. There are no hills, let alone forests.

Its prosperous atmosphere gave Luo Yan the illusion that he had returned to land.

"How is it? Is Guixu City okay?" Ma Yuan smiled, showing a proud expression.

Guixu City is truly an island and a city.

In terms of comprehensive strength, it may not be ranked among all the islands in the Chaotic Demon Sea, but in terms of prosperity and livability, it is a paradise in the minds of all middle and low-level monks.

Luo Yan didn't say a word, but silently looked at the brightly lit city.

After a few seconds, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"This island is full of immortals?"

Ma Yuan seemed to know that Luo Yan would be like this, and smiled unchanged: "There are some ordinary people, but do you think they are willing to stay with a group of immortals?"

Ordinary people walk on the road and see all around them are immortal cultivators who are higher than themselves, not even a single one of the same kind.

In this case, no matter how good the mentality is, it is bound to gradually become depressed, become autistic, and become afraid of going out.

It is not that there are no ordinary people in Guixu City.

It's just that as a very small number in the city, they generally stay at home and rarely go out.

Luo Yan nodded.

indeed.

If he was an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't dare to mingle with a group of immortal cultivators every day.

"Let's go, I'll take you to register first. Although Guixu City is inclusive, the rules are also the strictest." Ma Yuan said, taking the lead and walking forward.

"How strict?" Luo Yan asked curiously.

"Let's put it this way. In Guixu City, even if you steal a steamed stuffed bun, you will be caught in a water prison and locked up for three days." Ma Yuan said with a smile.

"Then... what about killing people?" Luo Yan asked.

"Killing people is of course a life for a life." Ma Yuan glanced at Luo Yan and warned: "Don't think about committing crimes, Guixu City can be said to be the safest place in the entire Chaos Demon Sea, but at the same time it is also the safest place for crimes. Where it hits hardest."

"If you kill someone on another island and escape to other islands, most likely you will be safe."

"But on Guixu Island... unless you can escape from the sea of ​​chaos. Otherwise, there will be no place for you on any island."

Luo Yan felt awe-inspiring, thought for a while, and asked, "This Guixu City has a big background?"

Ma Yuan nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Did you know the Great Yin Trading Company?"

"This island is the island where the Great Yin Commercial Bank is located."

"More than that, Guixu City is also a hub connecting Xichan Prefecture..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly closed his mouth and started to transmit voice: "Although this city of Guixu is located in the sea area of ​​Chaos Demon Sea, it is not owned by Chaos Demon Sea. You should understand what it means?"

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows, and sent back via voice transmission: "Colony?"

Ma Yuan nodded, and said with a weird expression: "This is also the reason why this place is so prosperous. In the eyes of Xichanzhou, our Chaos Devil Sea is a country where birds don't shit. In the eyes of all the monks in Chaos Devil Sea, Xichan Prefecture, That is the paradise of cultivating immortals."

"Over there, even the air is sweet and sweet, one breath can forge a Dao foundation, and two breaths can instantly form a pill!"

"They can't go to Xichan Prefecture, so they can only go to Guixu City desperately."

Luo Yan of Xichan Prefecture had never heard of it, but after thinking about it, he knew that it should be a continent, and the level of prosperity in the cultivation world must be higher.

Luo Yan asked with burning eyes: "How to get to Xichan Prefecture?"

Ma Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Luo Yan like a fool: "It's simple, take a boat from here, and it will take about a year."

Luo Yan asked curiously, "Is there any danger?"

If it can be reached within a year, most of the monks will probably go to Xichan Prefecture.

Ma Yuan said with a smile: "Thousands of years ago, the Chaos Demon Sect was at its peak, stronger than the Great Yin Dynasty at the edge of Xichan Prefecture. Since the two forces are bordering each other, the friction is naturally constant, causing a lot of bloodshed."

"Even after a thousand years, the monks over there still don't like us."

"As far as I know, few of the Luanmohai cultivators who went to Xichanzhou have a good end."

Luo Yan nodded, knowing it in his heart.

According to what Ma Yuan said, that is the origin of history.

But soon, Ma Yuan came over again via voice transmission.

"Actually, the biggest reason is the remnants of the Chaos Demon Sect in the Chaos Demon Sea. Those remnants practice all the magic skills, they are extremely evil and vicious, and are hostile by the Great Yin Dynasty. We little monks have just suffered an indiscriminate disaster."

Luo Yan was stunned, and understood.

In the final analysis, it was the Great Yin Dynasty's attitude towards Chaos Demon Sea.

However, judging from this city of Guixu, although the Great Yin Dynasty was hostile to Chaos Demon Sea, they had no plans to kill them.

Perhaps, the Great Yin Dynasty needed a stable sea of ​​chaotic demons.

Think so.

Luo Yan followed behind Ma Yuan to register and collect the identity token.

then.

Then he followed Ma Yuan to a mansion in the west of the city.

"Brother Yan, we're here."
