Sneaking quietly into the entrance of the Death Forbidden Zone, Su Xiaofan carefully observed the situation inside.

It will be daytime, some herbivores are carefully looking for food, and the valley seems very quiet and peaceful.

If Su Xiaofan hadn't witnessed the violent thunder in Devil's Valley, he wouldn't have been able to believe that this place was actually a hellish existence.

Su Xiaofan did not let Duobao follow him on this trip. He parked the car at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and Duobao stayed in the car.

Su Xiaofan planned to come and go quietly this time, not taking away a cloud, only taking away a piece of thunder stone.

After observing at the entrance of the valley for more than half an hour, Su Xiaofan did not feel any danger. After more than a month, the monster deep in the restricted area should have gone back long ago.

Su Xiaofan sneaked in along the rock wall. After almost experiencing death, Su Xiaofan was more careful than ever.

More than forty meters away from the mouth of the valley, there is a thunder stone weighing more than 600 kilograms. Su Xiaofan thought it was too small before, but it was the target this time.

When he came to the Sky Thunder Stone, which was mostly exposed on the ground, Su Xiaofan grabbed the gap in the stone with his hand and secretly shouted "Get up!"

Using both arms, Su Xiaofan forcefully pulled out the Thunder Stone from the ground.

Without any hesitation, Su Xiaofan lifted the Heavenly Thunder Stone over his head and left the restricted area in a flash.

Thunder roared behind him, lightning struck straight down, and the low roar of the giant ape came from the depths of the restricted area.

Su Xiaofan was also a little puzzled. Every time the thunder appeared, the giant apes would run to the mouth of the valley to check. What were they guarding? They were so afraid of people from outside entering.

However, Su Xiaofan had no intention of meeting the giant ape during this trip. Even if he had accomplished anything after obtaining the Sky Thunder Stone, he did not stop when he left the restricted area and swept straight out.

Carrying a boulder weighing six to seven hundred kilograms inevitably affected Su Xiaofan's physical skills. It only took him more than an hour to get here, but it took Su Xiaofan a full three hours to get back.

Su Xiaofan is now somewhat glad that he bought this large pickup truck. The actual load capacity is more than one ton. Even if it is not overloaded, there will be no problem in loading such a stone.

After two days of traveling, Su Xiaofan's car entered Dachuan Province.

However, after calling Zhao Yijian, Zhao Yijian did not ask him to go to Qingcheng, but drove to Luogou.

When Su Xiaofan came to Luogou, he discovered that it was actually a glacier scenic spot. It was winter and there were a lot of tourists coming to visit.

According to the phone number given by Zhao Yijian, Su Xiaofan contacted the disciples of Jian Zong here.

"Uncle Su, I am Zhao Yi. My fifth uncle asked me to wait for you here."

The man, who was in his forties, introduced himself after getting in the car, but Su Xiaofan almost broke his guard when he called him uncle.

"Brother Zhao, let's talk about our own business. Let's just dispense with the title of uncle."

Su Xiaofan gave a bitter smile, and was really a little uncomfortable being called uncle by a middle-aged man with a beard.

Zhao Yi shook his head repeatedly, "Uncle, the etiquette must not be revoked, otherwise my fifth uncle will have to break my legs if he finds out."

"Senior Brother Zhao is your fifth uncle?" Su Xiaofan asked.

"Cousin, he is the sixth child in the family, and my father is the eldest."

Zhao Yi glanced at Duobao in the back seat and shrank his neck, obviously knowing that Duobao was an extraordinary creature.

"It's okay, it won't hurt anyone."

Su Xiaofan looked at the bustling tourists at the entrance of the scenic area in front and said, "How did Brother Zhao arrange it? Is the weapon refining room here?"

"In the back mountain, you have to bypass the scenic spot."

Zhao Yi said: "Uncle, please drive directly into the scenic spot. Let's take a shortcut. If we go around from the outside, we will have to cover an extra seventy or eighty kilometers."

Su Xiaofan nodded and started the car. When he drove to the gate of the scenic spot, Zhao Yi stretched out his head and said hello, and he was let through directly.

There are buses in the scenic area, but the only private car is Su Xiaofan's. Under Zhao Yi's guidance, Su Xiaofan drove from the foot of the snow mountain to the back mountain.

Zhao Yi is very familiar with people here. When he encounters some places with obstacles and checkpoints, he can basically pass by just swiping his face.

"Is this scenic spot related to our Sword Sect?"

Su Xiaofan looked a little strange. He didn't expect Jianzong to have such a great influence in the world.

"Of course it does matter, Uncle Master. Half of the annual income of this scenic spot belongs to our Sword Sect. Otherwise, where would our Sword Sect's annual expenses come from?"

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "I entered the profession twenty years ago, but my cultivation has never been able to break through to the foundation-building stage, so I was arranged by the sect to be the vice president here..."

After hearing Zhao Yi's explanation, Su Xiaofan realized that Jianzong still had many industries in society.

As for this scenic spot, it was acquired by Jian Zong in exchange for members of the restricted area.

Initially, the Qingcheng restricted area was controlled by two forces: Jianzong and Qingcheng Taoist Temple. Among them, Jianzong was the main force, accounting for 70% of the members.

Since there are very few fights in the Qingcheng restricted area, it is the most peaceful and peaceful restricted area, which is very suitable for relevant departments to carry out research and personnel trials.

So the relevant departments conducted tripartite consultations with Jianzong and Qingcheng Taoist Temple. Finally, Jianzong gave up 30% of its members and Qingcheng Taoist Temple gave up 10%, which was regarded as re-dividing the share of Qingcheng restricted area.

However, this is not without cost. The relevant departments have made many concessions in secular society and put some industries under the name of Qingcheng Jianzong. This scenic spot is just one of them.

The reason why Jian Zong wanted this place was because there was a volcano under this glacier scenic spot, which also gave birth to the famous Snow Valley Hot Spring in this scenic spot.

"Uncle Master, would you like to soak in a hot spring first and take a rest before going to refine the weapon?"

Zhao Yi knew the purpose of Su Xiaofan's trip, but as the host, he naturally had to do a good job of reception.

"That's okay, I'll stay here for one night to recuperate, and then start refining tomorrow."

Su Xiaofan nodded when he heard this. He basically didn't get much rest in the past few days and was a little sleepy.

As the vice president of the scenic spot, Zhao Yi made very good arrangements for Su Xiaofan. He did not let Su Xiaofan go to the popular hot spring scenic spot, but directly arranged a villa.

There is a hot spring in the backyard of the villa, but there are three pools with different temperatures. From cold to hot, you can experience different hot springs.

Lying in the hot spring pool, looking at the white snow in the distance, it relieved Su Xiaofan's sleepiness a lot.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yi came over and had breakfast with Su Xiaofan, and then the two of them continued to drive towards the mountain behind the restricted area.

The car drove for a longer time this time, more than four hours, and passed through a section of road that was very difficult to walk. I didn't see anyone along the way.

At noon, the car stopped in front of a small building, and Zhao Yi jumped out of the car first.

"Uncle Master, the weapon refining room is inside, but the car can't get in."

Zhao Yi said: "We have to bring in the materials for refining the weapon ourselves. Do you want me to bring a cart over?"

"No, the cart doesn't bear enough weight."

Su Xiaofan shook his head and looked at the small building.

From the outside, it looked like a very simple two-story building, but Su Xiaofan discovered that the people guarding the door on the first floor were actually two practitioners in the late stages of Qi training.

"Is this also from our sect?"

"Yes, this is an important area of ​​the sect. Uncle Master will need to show his token later!"

Zhao Yi nodded and said: "Someone will take my uncle to the weapon refining room later. I will wait outside for my uncle to come out."

While talking, Zhao Yi opened the trunk of the car, but after seeing the huge stone, Zhao Yi couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Uncle, I can't move this... this thing."

Zhao Yi tried to pull the boulder out of the car, but after two attempts in succession, the boulder only moved slightly, but could not be pulled out.

Zhao Yi suppressed his face and turned red. Only now did he understand why Uncle Su said that the cart could not bear enough weight. The weight of this huge stone was at least five hundred kilograms.

"Let me do it."

Su Xiaofan stretched out his hand and held it under the boulder, and easily pulled the Thunder Stone out of the carriage, without the Thunder Stone rubbing against the ground of the carriage during the entire process.

"No wonder Fifth Uncle asked me to receive him carefully. Master Su's cultivation is really amazing."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi's throat twitched and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

When they arrived at the door, the two Sword Sect disciples guarding the door were shocked by Su Xiaofan's strength, but they still carefully checked the sect tokens of Su Xiaofan and Zhao Yi before letting them in.

It was freezing and snowy outside, but it was as warm as spring inside. After the two of them were allowed to rest in the lounge for a while, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his late forties or nineteen came in.

"Hello, Uncle Wen!" Zhao Yi stood up quickly when he saw the person coming.

"Well, this is Junior Brother Su, right?"

The man nodded, looked at Su Xiaofan, and then glanced at the Thunder Stone, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Hello, Senior Brother Wen, I am Su Xiaofan."

Su Xiaofan also stood up. He heard Zhao Yijian mention this senior brother Wen, who was the person in charge of the weapon refining room.

Moreover, the cultivation level of this senior brother Wen is even higher than that of Zhao Yijian. He is already a cultivator in the realm of Yin God out of body, and it is said that he is only one step away from Yang God.

After meeting Senior Brother Wen, Su Xiaofan had a feeling that there seemed to be an indescribable layer of Qi on the other person's body, blocking his ability to detect the past.

"My name is Wenming, and Junior Brother Su is really generous."

Senior Brother Wen introduced himself to his family, and the name was somewhat similar to the person. Senior Brother Wen looked gentle and elegant, with a scholarly temperament.

"How did you make this thing?"

Wen Wenming looked at the Sky Thunder Stone, with a trace of heat flashing in his eyes, "Junior Brother Su, didn't our ancestor tell you? To refine the flying sword, you only need a Sky Thunder Stone that weighs 100 kilograms."

"Ah? One hundred and ten kilograms is enough?"

Su Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this, "No, the ancestor just said to go to the Death Forbidden Zone to get a piece of thunder stone, and then extract fine gold from it as the main material for refining the flying sword."

"Ancestor is really..."
