Not to mention the people inside Taixu Palace, even the big and small forces outside the palace would rush to buy it. It is very popular and can be called the hard currency among magical instruments. Since they are a family of instrument refining, they also have all the treasure mines and spiritual veins needed for instrument refining. They have extremely strong financial resources and are the best among the lower three families. They are very active on weekdays, and there is a tendency for them to break through the shackles and rearrange their seats.

'What does the Zhou family want me to do this time?'

Anle was surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said calmly: "I am here to get some things on the orders of my master."

Hearing this, Zhou Tianxin was thoughtful and asked carefully: "Is it related to your senior brother?"

Anle's tone was icy, like a cold snow in winter, and his gaze shot out like an arrow: "How did you know?"

During the deduction, there was also a case of the eldest senior brother disappearing, and it was difficult for him not to associate this incident with the disciples of the aristocratic family.

Feeling his cold gaze, Zhou Tianxin trembled all over, as if he was being stared at by an ancient and powerful beast, and he felt a little fear for no reason.

In his opinion, the gentle, handsome and unparalleled appearance before him seemed to be just an insignificant shell. Beneath this surface, there lay a terrifying existence comparable to a demon or monster.

"I am a Jindan after all, how could I be frightened by his eyes?"

Zhou Tian thought to himself, "Everyone says this is Anle. He dared to reject Xia Jingnian, so there must be something strange about him."

"After seeing him today, I found that his reputation is indeed well-deserved. His aura is quite frightening."

Thinking of this, his desire to make friends became stronger.

Although the Zhou family and the Xia family are both disciples of aristocratic families, how can the aristocratic families be united as one?

For a family like the Zhou family that is attempting to go further, Anle is undoubtedly a very valuable contact person.

Zhou Tianxin explained, "Fellow Daoist An has misunderstood. Your senior brother's affairs are no secret in Taixu Palace. He once caused quite a stir in this city, and everyone knew about it."

"It was only after Elder Gu came in person and paid a price that the situation was finally resolved."

After saying this, Zhou Tianxin felt the coldness that had been locked in his body quickly subside, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side.

Anle thought: "This city is probably full of spies from several big families. They know everything about my coming here and all these rumors and secrets."

He asked, "What exactly is my eldest brother's trouble?"

Zhou Tianxin was surprised: "You don't know?"

He didn't keep you in suspense and continued.

"I don't know the specific symptoms, but I heard that... it should be a kind of hysteria."

An Le was very surprised: "Can immortal cultivators also suffer from hysteria?"

You know, when ordinary cultivators break through the foundation, their entire body will undergo a baptism, achieving an effect similar to cleansing the meridians and marrow.

All kinds of diseases, big and small, from broken arms and legs to infertility, can be cured.

Therefore, Anle couldn't quite believe for a moment that his senior brother, who was usually normal, had such a hidden danger.

Zhou Tianxin: "In short, it's a very difficult disease."

Anle thought about it and agreed. If the problem was easy to solve, wouldn't Gu Shanshan have cured him long ago? Why would she take such a superficial approach and not address the root cause?

Soon, the gatekeeper walked out of Taiyi Pavilion, holding a special jade box.

"The things are here, but there happens to be a precious material missing from the pavilion, so you have to find another way."

The gatekeeper's attitude towards Anle was relatively friendly, with a hint of apology, as if he was concerned about his status as a master.

"It is a precious material called Purple Thunder Immortal Rock, which was just taken away by someone a few days ago."

Anle's heart sank.

He has always been skeptical about coincidences in the world, especially in this special situation.

"Where can I get this medicinal material?"

The gatekeeper replied, "Normally, they are only sold at auction houses in the city, and it all depends on luck."

After understanding the situation, Anle frowned and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Zhou Tianxin cough dryly.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist An, I happen to have some of the precious materials you mentioned."

Anle looked at him suspiciously, wondering if Zhou Tianxin was causing trouble in this matter.

You can't blame him for being suspicious. Ever since Anle traveled through time, this kind of thinking "there are always villains who want to harm me" has always been in his mind. It's just that he was able to suppress it with his strength before, so it hasn't shown up for a long time.

But in this Taixu Palace, there is a lot of malicious intent directed at him, and he has to be on guard.

Anle thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

Besides, he doesn't have much choice now.

Soon, Zhou Tianxin called the servants at home and after some time, he delivered the Purple Thunder Immortal Rock to Anle.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

After putting away the fairy rock, Anle thanked Zhou Tianxin, knowing in his heart that he owed him a favor this time.

Zhou Tianxin responded calmly: "It's just a small matter."

He smiled and said, "I also have selfish motives. If I need help from Fellow Daoist An in the future, I won't be polite."

This kind of direct and open attitude is much better than Xia Jingnian's sanctimonious attitude.

******

After getting the things, Anle did not stop and quickly boarded the teleportation array.

However, when the magic circle lit up, he inexplicably felt a foreboding premonition in his heart.

The world in front of him stopped spinning, and Anle found that he had come to an unfamiliar area.

The surroundings were extremely quiet; even the sounds of birds, animals and insects were barely audible.

The sky seemed unusually low, and the gray-black clouds seemed within reach. The nearby mountains were pitch black, with horrifying things hidden deep within. An ominous and deep aura leaked out silently.

"here it is……"

After observing, Anle concluded: "It is deep in the Gu Family Mountains."

He mistakenly entered this area during his deduction and was unfortunately torn to pieces by the big monster there.

Take the first gift that Xiang Tieta gave to Anle - the bristly wild boar. It had no power to fight back against Xiang Tieta, but according to Anle's judgment, it was at least a fourth-level monster.

It is equivalent to the Nascent Soul among human monks.

Just by eating a few pieces of its meat, Anle felt his blood and energy extremely abundant and about to overflow.

If we really fight, I'm afraid I'll be crushed easily.

This also shows the danger deep in this mountain range.

They don't seem to be born in the mountains themselves, but come from another strange space.

"Did the teleportation array get tampered with?"

After a brief surprise, Anle roughly understood his current situation, and the coldness on his face became increasingly intense.

He really didn't expect that someone would attack him in this way.

For those who are proficient in magic arrays, it is just a piece of cake to make a slight shift or change in the coordinates of the transmission.

The other party's purpose is most likely not to kill An Lan, but just to annoy him and cause some trouble.

But given Anle's bad luck, this is no different from murder for money.

"You are really brave..."

Anle thought to himself, "I wonder which family did this."

"But now, I can only bear it for a while."

Looking around, Anle was not sure where he was now, so he hid where he was for the time being, used several pieces of talisman paper to conceal his aura, and sent Lao Mo to explore the surrounding area.

Evil spirits are better at hiding, and it is more suitable for them to move around in this forest.

******

After a while.

Old Mo, who had turned into a pool of sticky shadow, stood up from the ground and said tremblingly: "Master, we seem to be trapped in a nest."

Through Lao Mo's explanation, Anle quickly learned the terrain of the surrounding area.

The area is surrounded by rock walls, and the center is sunken, shaped like a giant bowl.

Lao Mo also saw some animal feces and footprints, which clearly indicated that some monsters had settled here.

This is by no means good news.

How could a monster that could have such a huge nest deep in the mountains be a weakling?

Even if it is not in its nest now, it will surely return someday.

Anle made a decision: "We must leave before it comes back."

He first performed a light body spell, then took big steps, but his feet did not step on the ground, but in mid-air. This could greatly reduce the noise caused by running.

Anle was moving at full speed, the speed was astonishing.

In just a few breaths, they arrived at the edge of the nest and saw the towering gray-black rock wall.

"It's OK, not too high."

Anle breathed a sigh of relief and was about to use the rock wall for leverage to continue climbing upwards.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle that could penetrate metal and stone came to my ears.

"Wow!"

The eardrums vibrate and the hair on the body stands on end.

Anle relied on his intuition to dodge to the side, avoiding a gust of cold wind behind him.

A sharp claw flashing with cold light passed by him and landed on the rock wall. Large pieces of rock shattered and rolled down with a loud bang.

Anle turned his head and saw a huge bird demon flapping its wings in the air, staring at him with sharp eyes, revealing undisguised malice.

The bird monster was seven meters long, and when its wings were spread, they blocked out the sky and cast a huge shadow.

What’s strange is that under the bird monster’s crimson feathers, there seems to be a layer of dragon scales, highlighting its unique bloodline.

"Red Shadow Dragon Bird?"

Anle muttered to himself: "Judging from its size, it should still be in its larval stage."

The year he spent on deduction was not wasted. Not only did he improve his own strength as much as possible, but he also learned knowledge related to monsters, history, and various forces every day.

Therefore, he unlocked several skills such as [Monster Studies (Mastery)], [Human History (Mastery)], and an entry for [Encyclopedia (Blue)].

This kind of knowledge is priceless in the outside world, but in Taixu Palace, as long as Anle tells his senior brother, it will be sent to the cave.

Anle recognized this strange bird monster.

It has the blood of a dragon in its body and is proficient in Taoist magic related to fire. It has a ferocious personality, likes to eat people, and is very difficult to deal with.

When the Red Shadow Dragon Bird reaches adulthood, it will be at least a fourth-level monster, which can be said to be a race with unique advantages.

Under normal circumstances, Anle would not want to provoke the other party, but now, there is nowhere to hide.

"Then I'll use you as my first stepping stone after my breakthrough!"

With just a thought, the ghost armor emerged from under the body.

Also protruding from the flesh was a layer of pale, deformed bones.

Huge bone spurs emerged from the shoulders and took the shape of shoulder armor. The ribs and sternum that were originally folded and contracted were wrapped around the waist and abdomen layer by layer.

The white bones formed a layer of pale bone armor, inlaid on the ghost armor with black and dark gold, making it look even more weird and terrifying, somewhat like Susanoo in a certain anime.

This was an abnormality that occurred when Anle was deducing bones, and was counted as one of the nested entries of Ghost Armor.

Apart from the fact that it seems a bit evil when used, the improvement in combat power is visible to the naked eye.

The surging energy and blood flowed like magma, and a trace of it leaking out from the pores was enough to ignite the dry grass and trees.

Anle's eyes seemed to show the next and next movements of the Red Shadow Dragon Bird, and the vulnerable parts of its body were all clearly visible.

Then, the figure rushed out suddenly!
