One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 158: Stirring up the storm, a personal gift

The information sent by Zhao Meiying was placed in the basement that had just been excavated under the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

With a loud friction sound, the stone door leading to the basement slowly opened.

"Lord Toji."

The two disciples guarding here had excited expressions on their faces and bowed to Su Heng.

Su Heng nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then he stepped into the stone gate.

Luo Shuang followed behind Su Heng, and she was responsible for handling these matters.

After passing through a dark corridor about a hundred meters long, we entered a vast space.

Su Heng's first feeling was that the temperature inside was very low, as if he had entered an ice cellar. In order to ensure the freshness of the resources, a large amount of ice was placed in the basement.

Bang!
Luo Shuang pressed the mechanism.

Several torches hanging on the wall were lit one by one.

The flickering dark red flames dispelled the darkness, and a huge skeleton came into Su Heng's sight.

This is the remains of the Alligator Lord. His flesh and internal organs have been stripped clean, and most of them have been digested and absorbed by Su Heng, turning them into attribute points for cultivation. The remaining bones are placed here as a terrifying trophy.

Su Heng's eyes met the empty eye sockets of the Crocodile Lord's skull for two seconds, then he moved away lightly.

On the shelves along the walls on both sides are various bottles and jars placed in a messy manner.

"Are these pills transported from the Demon Suppression Army?" Su Heng raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, "It's much more generous than I thought."

puff!
He waved his hand.

He took a porcelain bottle from the shelf and opened the stopper with his fingernail.

A strong medicinal aroma immediately permeated his nose, and Su Heng's abdomen moved with a slight sound. A feeling of greed and desire appeared in Su Heng's consciousness. It was obvious that not only the quantity, but also the "quality" of these pills was quite good.

"This is the list that was sent together." Luo Shuang took a booklet from the corner of the shelf and handed it to Su Heng.

Su Heng used his "sense of gravity" to scan the room and knew that the proportions matched.

The contents of the booklet...

In addition to the gifts from the Demon-Suppressing Army, the "personal gifts" from the army leader actually accounted for a full half of these resources.

"He is a very honest person." Su Heng had never met Li Lingxiu.

But now I have a pretty good impression.

"The military commander also left a letter for you." Luo Shuang said, and handed over a cowhide envelope with a wax seal. The envelope felt heavy, and there seemed to be something else inside. Su Heng frowned slightly, and his expression became more serious.

He rubbed off the wax seal that sealed the opening and poured out the contents.

A palm-sized jade token and three pieces of letter paper.

Su Heng first opened the letter.

There were a lot of words written on it, all kinds of gorgeous and complicated words of praise that made Su Heng frown. He shivered and almost got goose bumps. Three sheets of letter paper, thousands of words. The content inside can probably be summarized in three sentences.

I am deeply sorry for Zhao Meiying's rash attempt to test the waters. Some of the resources will be regarded as compensation.

I was deeply shocked by Su Heng's fundamental map, and I hope we can have a chance to have in-depth discussions and exchanges in the future. I also regret that I didn't have time to meet him immediately because I had to go to Skull Origin.

Then there is the token called "Cloud Key".

This token is the key to opening "Yun Zhongtian". Li Lingxiu did not give a detailed introduction to what this "Yun Zhongtian" is in the letter.

It’s just that it is a place between the mortal world and the Eternal Heaven, with a very special environment.

"Sky in the Clouds" opens once every thirty years.

After entering it with the help of the "Cloud Key", one can communicate with heaven and earth and enter a state of enlightenment, which is of great benefit to one's own cultivation.

What’s more important is that according to some historical records.

The tyrant dragon at the beginning of the founding of the country a thousand years ago also rested in the "Sky in the Clouds".

The special environment of "Sky in the Clouds" may be able to preserve some of the Taoist charm of the former Tyrant Dragon.

Li Lingxiu originally planned to rely on this "cloud key" to perfect the secret method of the Thirteen Phases of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But after seeing Su Heng's two fundamental maps, Li Lingxiu chose to give up.

Instead, he gave this opportunity to Su Heng.

For a man who could give up his status as the family heir and run out alone to pursue pure martial arts.

He really didn't care about personal gains and losses. He hoped to see the complete secret method of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Su Heng was obviously a more suitable choice than him.

"Yun Zhong Tian" is located in Liuzhou. Its ability to bring about sudden enlightenment will naturally attract many powerful people.

Among them are disciples from top families like Li Lingxiu, heirs of hidden sects, and emerging trendsetters with mysterious backgrounds.

There are even barbarians in the Skeleton Plain and the Swamp of Rest, etc. All the forces are unwilling to submit to each other, and when they gather together, coupled with the limited number of "Cloud Keys", conflicts are inevitable.

Therefore, every time "Sky in the Clouds" opens, it is a rare event.

It will stir up the storm and attract the attention of many people.

The letter mentioned that "Yun Zhong Tian" would be opened in about two months. Judging from the time the letter was written, it should be about a month and a half away from now.

"It's just right that it won't delay me from snatching the dragon blood." Su Heng thought to himself.

Sitting in the position of Dusi, he was clearly aware that troubled times were coming, and the beauty of all things competing and full of vitality was right before his eyes.

He had rarely left Baihua County, but all kinds of messy things were happening to him, making Su Heng's calm heart slightly excited. "First, let's perfect the Dragon Shedding Blood Refining Technique!"

Su Heng looked at the bottles and jars in the room before him, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Originally, most of the demonic flesh and blood on the body of the Crocodile Lord had been eaten by Su Heng during his training. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Su Heng has been accustomed to the good days of eating to his heart's content, and it is really difficult to live a frugal life.

The resources sent by the Demon-Suppressing Army and Li Lingxiu were just enough to provide Su Heng with a lot of resources.

"Good man." Su Heng clapped his hands and stuffed the letter and the "Cloud Key" into his arms.

……

……

……

Baihua County, Lianshan City.

In the study of a gloomy and empty house built against a mountain.

The bright moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the antique copper stove, screen, and octagonal palace lantern inside.

Anand hunched over.

The ugly freckled face no longer had the previous arrogance.

At this moment, he was respectfully recounting everything that had happened in Baihua County.

In the whole study.

In addition to Anand, there are three others.

The person facing Anand approached the window with his back to him, leaving Anand with only a broad, majestic, strong and sturdy back. Among the other two, one stood at the door with his hands behind his back. The other one sat on a chair with his legs crossed, sipping tea leisurely.

After telling everything that had happened during the day, Anand lowered his head and said no more words.

His breathing was a little heavy, and it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he looked on the surface. He was shrouded in invisible fear.

finally--

After a few quick breaths, the man with his back to Anand by the window turned around, revealing a square and majestic face.

He picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it hard at Anand, "Waste!"

Snapped!
The expensive celadon teapot shattered.

Some of the fragments were embedded in Anand's eyes and cheeks, and scarlet blood immediately flowed out from the wounds. Anand, who had always been rebellious, did not even dare to breathe or clean the scars on his face when facing this man. He just lowered his head and let the blood flow on his face.

This old man with a face like an angry lion and a majestic appearance is An Cha Luo, the great elder of the An family.

Of the other two people in the room, the one with a mustache and a shrewd look, sitting on a chair sipping tea, was the second elder, An Luoyi. The one leaning against the door frame, with a gloomy temperament, ordinary looks and figure, and not attracting any attention was the third elder, An Yunian.

Among the three elders.

The great elder An Cha Luo has the strongest strength and the most explosive personality.

It's like a powder keg that will explode at any time.

Not to mention the young disciple Anand, even the two elders An Luoyi and Anyunian did not dare to speak loudly in front of the chief elder An Cha Luo.

After waiting for a while, I saw the anger on Ancha Luo's face gradually disappear.

The second elder An Luoyi, who was sitting on the chair, put down his teacup and gently advised, "This matter is not Anand's fault. The situation in Baihua County is special. The new commander-in-chief cannot be judged by common sense at all."

"I got the news that the people from the Demon Elephant Sect disappeared not long ago. It was this commander who did it."

"If Anand had acted rashly at that time, the result would have been even worse."

Speaking of it.

An Luoyi showed a gentle smile on his face.

He waved his hand, and Anand's eyes immediately showed gratitude. He lowered his head, not daring to make any sound, and hurriedly left the room. When he stepped out of the door, his broad shoulders straightened up, as if he had escaped from a dangerous place, and he looked visibly relieved.

"Hmph! Good-for-nothing!" The Great Elder withdrew his gaze from Anand's back.

"The important thing is that we must bring that evildoer back."

The Great Elder put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in the spacious study room, and then stopped. "She is the most suitable sacrifice. We have spent so much effort to train her. She wants to just leave like this, and even wants to use outsiders to fight against the family. It's not that easy!"

"So, big brother, do you want me to go to Baihua County?" said the third elder, who had an ordinary appearance and was best at stealth.

"No!" An Cha Luo shook his head, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes, "I'll go myself!"

"Brother!" The second elder felt something was wrong. "That man had killed Tian Gui before. If we confront him head-on, it would be very troublesome. It would be better to let the third brother sneak in and bring him back."

"You're still thinking too simply."

After hearing this, the great elder An Cha Luo shook his head and said, "Since that man took An Ran in, he must be interested in the Dragon King's tomb. If we don't scare him off now, it will be more likely to cause trouble later. We have been preparing for this day for too long, and any hidden dangers must be eliminated in advance!"

"Besides..."

An Cha Luo shook his head and sneered, a trace of disdain flashing across his eyes, "A useless Tiangui like Xie Linyuan who relied on worshipping gods to break through is nothing in front of us. If he appeared in front of me, I could slap him into pieces with one slap."

"By the same token, the fact that that person was able to kill Xie Linyuan is nothing, he just picked a weak target."

Ancha Luo's words were full of strong confidence.

Of course, they have dragon blood in their bodies, and their powerful strength comes from hard training, so they naturally have the confidence to say this.

The second elder, An Luoyi, still felt that something was wrong. But as the day of the tomb opening was getting closer, and the first elder had such a hot temper, An Luoyi rubbed his temples and could only say tiredly, "Be careful!"
