(Thanks to the two friends Hun Tiancheng and Guanghui Charter for their rewards! It’s Monday, Xinchen asked everyone for recommendation votes!)

In an inn in Qingmu City, in the room of the Fei brothers, the five monks were already anxious. In addition to the two brothers Feiyu and Feimu, there were three monks sitting.

One is a middle-aged Taoist, carrying a long sword on his back, and he has a fairy-like spirit.

The other one is a middle-aged scholar wearing a long blue gown, which is quite elegant.

The last one was a monk with a very powerful appearance, holding a Zen staff.

After walking a few steps in the room, he said impatiently: "Fat Mule, why haven't Jiang Chen come here yet? He is just a cultivator at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Wouldn't this cultivation level be a drag on the Qingyou Valley? Instead, I have to take care of me!"

The Taoist also thought it was right: "Although it takes a ghost cultivator to launch the teleportation array, it may be difficult to find ghost cultivators in other places in Jingzhou. However, there are quite a few ghost cultivators in the Han Dynasty. Isn't it easier to find a ghost cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining?"

Fei Mu shook his head at this time and said, "Master Wuwang, Master Wuhui, you only know one thing, not the other. Although Jiang Chen is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he is already at the peak of the Sixth level. According to him, it should be no problem to advance to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage within this month. This person also promised us that he would only walk with us only if he advanced to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage! And..."

Speaking of this, he also flashed a hint of amazement and said, "Jiang Chen is indeed only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage now, but do you know what kind of cultivation he had three years ago? It is only at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage!"

"What? The first level of Qi Refining Period? Are you kidding? From the first level of Qi Refining Period to the sixth level of Qi Refining Period in three years, the cultivation speed is not as good as the Tianling Root!" After hearing this, the Taoist Wushou and the monk Wuhui finally changed their expression.

"This is because this person is an alchemist!"

Fat fish said coldly: "Now you understand! Why do we have to pull this person? Because if we call other monks, we will definitely divide the magical tools, elixirs, talismans and other treasures in the cave. What we promised him was just various spiritual herbs in the cave. Although those medicinal materials are of great value to the alchemist, for us, they are useless except for selling them for money and are like a useless rib. It doesn't matter if we let them all!"

The three of them then woke up. In this way, it was a good choice. Since it was explained before that as long as Jiang Chen had spiritual herbs, they could monopolize all the elixirs, magic tools, talismans and other things. In this case, it would be okay to bring Jiang Chen with him. It was even possible to burn bridges and kill people to silence him afterwards. They have done a lot of such things. In this way, Jiang Chen's cultivation level is as good as possible.

Even the middle-aged scholar nodded and said, "Since that's the case, there are still a few days left before the agreed one month period, so we'll wait a little longer. If this person really refuses to join, we'll find another ghost cultivator."

However, just as he finished speaking, there was a regular knock on the door outside.

When Fat Mule heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Jiang Chen has arrived! It seems that he has successfully advanced!" He had already sensed the aura of the people outside the door.

Fat Fish walked over and opened the door. Jiang Chen strode in and said a little apologetically: "Brother Yu, Brother Mu, I'm really sorry. I've just advanced to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. The time required is a little longer than expected... But fortunately, I finally arrived in time!"

The fat mule came forward and looked at him up and down, and was very happy to see that he had indeed advanced to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. Because this meant that the strength of the team had improved a lot.

He quickly greeted Jiang Chen enthusiastically and then introduced to him one by one: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, these three are friends who are with us, namely Master Wuying, Master Wuhui and Mr. Wuqing. In our Demon Sect, it is rare to practice the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism."

Jiang Chen also knew that there were monks from all schools of thought within the Demon Sect. However, the number of monks in the three schools of thought was the smallest.

According to rumors, the right path is very different. During the battle between the right and the demons ten thousand years ago, almost all the monks of the right path were immortal cultivators from the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

He glanced at the three of them and found that they were all practicing at the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage, only one level higher than himself, but one level lower than Fat Fish and Fat Mule. It seems that these two brothers have been very careful when choosing partners.

Jiang Chen bowed to the three of them and bowed.

The three of them also quickly stood up and returned the gift. After a long "look up", the fat mud said squarely: "Since the six of us have gathered together, we can set off. There is still a lot of journey from here to Qingyou Valley. We have to hurry up. We strive to be the first monks to enter the valley, otherwise we will have no unexpected gains if we fall behind others."

Everyone wanted to set off early, so they walked out of the inn gate together, then turned into six rays of escape light, and headed straight to the west...

***************************************************************

The destination where Jiang Chen and others went here was Qingyou Valley, more than 600 miles west of Qingmu City.

This canyon is located in the western foot of the Qingmu Mountains, with a radius of thousands of miles. It is said that more than ten thousand years ago, during the war between the righteous and the demons in ancient times, it was a battlefield for the war between the righteous and the demons.

Therefore, there are overlapping ancient bans around this valley and in the sky. Each of these bans is extremely powerful and is connected together, and it moves to pull the whole body. Most people cannot break the ban and enter.

The only place without restrictions is what is commonly known as the Qingyou Valley. It is a narrow passage about thirty feet wide and dozens of miles long.

This passage could have been easily passed. However, more than 5,000 years ago, two Nascent Soul cultivators with deep hatred met unexpectedly in the passage. The two immediately fought, and as a result, the ancient ban next to the passage was triggered, causing the passage to be closed. From then on, Qingyou Valley could no longer enter.

After more than four thousand years of this, a young monk in Qi Refining Stage passed by the entrance of this canyon and was curious for a moment and wanted to go in and take a look, but found that he could easily go in.

After he went in, he saw that there were many rare grasses growing inside, so he picked a lot of them out with ecstasy.

This incident stirred up all of Jingzhou at that time, and major sects sent people to check it out.

At this time, they discovered that the ancient ban at the entrance of Qingyou Valley had loosened because of its age. Cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage will be ignored by the ban because their spiritual power is too low. Therefore, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can enter the valley, while cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage are still unable to enter.

Of course, the loosening of this ban is also periodic, and it only takes five days to loosen every ten years. Except for these five days, no one can get in at other times.

Because there are many rare and rare grasses from thousands of years ago growing in Qingyou Valley, some of which were even extinct in Jingzhou. At that time, major sects sent a large number of disciples to pick them.

Only then did they realize that although there were many strange flowers and plants in the Qinggu Valley, there were even more monsters. The disciples who entered were all Qi Refining Cultivation Stage, and the battles with those powerful monsters were naturally caused by heavy casualties. Therefore, these disciples could only pick some low-level spiritual medicines on the periphery and dared not go deeper.

As time goes by, even if the spiritual medicines and alien herbs on the periphery can only be picked once every ten years, they will be quickly picked. The spiritual medicines deep in the valley cannot be picked by disciples in the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, Qingyou Valley gradually became a useless person.

The monks who entered it could obtain less and less spiritual herbs. However, more and more fighting and killing were fought over these things. In the past hundred years, except for the local monks in the Han Kingdom, almost no monks from other countries had come to Qingyou Valley.

The two brothers Fei Mule and Fei Yu also went in once ten years ago. Not only did they find nothing, they also encountered several interceptions in the valley and almost died.

However, just as they were about to evacuate, they found a cave of an ancient monk who was suspected to have died in a hidden mountain stream. It was filled with alchemy rooms, weapon refining rooms, living rooms, cultivation rooms, spiritual grass gardens, and spiritual beast railings. However, looking at the dust, no one has lived in it for at least thousands of years.

When they found a door that might be the storage room in the cave and were thinking about how to open it, the time for the Qingyou Valley ban to expire was up. If they didn't go out, they would be locked in it.

At that time, under the operation of the ancient ban in the valley, all invading monks will be killed by a poisonous mist sprayed out of the ban.

In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat in panic.

After coming out, the Fei brothers believed that judging from the scale of the cave, it should at least be the cave of the foundation-building cultivators, and the several herbs in the Lingcao Garden were also very rare, so they were looking forward to entering the cave again.

Therefore, when they entered Qingyou Valley again this time, they made a special trip to find the three Wuxie monsters who were good at formations and could break the ban and went there together. These three people are the few cultivators in the Demon Sect who practice the righteous martial arts, and have had some research on the bans of the mechanism.

Of course, they were not completely sure of breaking the door. After all, it was built by a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage. But Monk Wuhui thought of a solution to enter the door. That was to build a small directional teleportation array at the door.

This teleportation array can teleport six people to anywhere within a hundred feet at a time, but it requires a monk who majored in the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to launch it together to teleport.

It happened that Feiyu and Feimu mainly practiced the two types of martial arts, Wu Hope, Wuqing and Wuhui, who mainly practiced the three types of martial arts, wood, water and fire, and they just happened to have the five elements magic. Now with Jiang Chen's joining, they can fully implement this plan.

However, because there are many monks entering Qingyou Valley, there are many casual cultivators from all over the Han Dynasty and disciples from various immortal cultivators to go to Qingyou Valley. In order to compete for these spiritual herbs and medicinal materials, there will be many fighting and disputes. This is also the reason why Wuxie Monsters were worried that Jiang Chen would be their burden at the beginning.

However, now they heard that Jiang Chen is the champion of this small test of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so they naturally won’t worry anymore. In the eyes of the Three Monsters of Wuxie, those who can become the champion of the small test of the "big sect" like the Heavenly Demon Sect should have two tricks.
