Chapter 24 Xuan Ling Realm

Three days have passed since the Tingchaotai banquet. Li Yun got the Xuanshi provided by Tingchao Academy. It was originally worth more than 70,000 yuan as a high-grade Xuanshi, but Li Yun exchanged them for mid-grade Xuanshi. There are more than 700 yuan in total.

In addition, the academy also rewarded him with five high-grade mysterious stones. In addition, Chen Gangba generously gave him five high-grade mysterious stones to thank him for writing poems for Tingchaotai. In this way, he had more high-grade mysterious stones on hand. Ten dollars.

"Master, the energy supply is sufficient now, and the speed of mystical skills condensation is very stable. It is estimated that we will be able to obtain heaven-level mystical skills in the near future!" Xiaoxing said happily.

"Hehe, one poem can be exchanged for five high-grade black stones, which is not bad." Li Yun said with a smile.

"This guy is so good! Tingchaotai will become famous all over the world because of your poem. Then there will be a lot of visitors. Chen Gangba will make far more money than these five high-grade black stones." Xiaoxing said.

"It makes sense. However, my poetry has become famous because of this, and the value of my signature is even greater. It is a win-win situation for both parties. And I am in urgent need of black stones at the moment, and this time it is indeed a solution to my urgent need."

"In this case, Master, why not break through the realm in one go. I think the time has come."

"Exactly, I will go back home after breaking through the border. I haven't been back for a while."

Li Yun took out two middle-grade black stones, calmly absorbed them quickly.

In the past three days, he has cultivated Xuan Gong to the peak state of Xuan Kuo Realm, and may break through it at any time.

However, he knew that there was absolutely no need to rush at this time. As long as he continued to expand his reserves and lay a solid foundation, breaking through would be a natural thing.

The pure Xuan Qi flow of the middle-grade Xuan Stone is constantly washing away the skin, flesh, and muscles. If he can look inside, he will find that the impurities in the skin, flesh, and muscles are being continuously washed away. Some seep out from the pores, and some are absorbed. Converted.

The material in his body was becoming crystal clear, making his temperament quietly change, making him look radiant.

After absorbing nearly twenty middle-grade black stones, Li Yun's clothes were soaked through, and a smell of sweat evaporated. It turned out to be impurities discharged from the body.

Gradually, less and less impurities are discharged, and the wet clothes are quickly evaporated and dried by body temperature.

After a long time, Li Yun slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, and said happily: "I have reached the Xuanling realm!"

Finally entering the third level of Xuan Ling realm, Li Yun's Xuan Gong practice has progressed quite quickly. It took about three months from the first level of Xuan Yi realm to the present.

In the Xuanling realm, the warrior's focus is to condense the blood in the body, constantly remove dirt and renew it, and moisturize the major organs in the body, so as to achieve the purpose of blood exchange.

In this realm, black stones are indispensable. Without a large amount of black stones and the nourishment of black medicine, it is impossible for ordinary warriors to achieve the purpose of blood exchange. They have to stay in this state for a long time and miss the best period of cultivation.

From this perspective, this is the advantage of the children of big families. With the support of their families, they can obtain the mysterious stones in time, thus ensuring the normal progress of their cultivation.

"Master, with the profound stones we have now, it is estimated that it will be more than enough to support you until you break through to the fourth level of the profound mountain realm. It seems that our travel plan is quite promising."

"That's right. However, don't forget that the energy supply required by your Mysterious Skill Palace cannot be solved by one or two high-grade Mysterious Stones. Heaven-level Mysterious Skills are not a joke." Li Yuntan road.

"Don't talk about heaven-level mystical skills. I found that just the low-level earth-level mystical skills are extremely energy-consuming. Moreover, after entering the earth-level mystical skills, each level of condensation increases the energy consumption sharply. Moreover, the upgraded The amplitude is also decreasing, which really gives me a headache." Xiaoxing agreed.

"Perhaps heaven-level mystical skills are really a limit, but your level of condensation is fully capable of improving their quality again, but you haven't fully recovered yet, and your energy supply is intermittent." Li Yun analyzed.

"really,

If my energy supply is sufficient, I can activate more programs and improve my mysterious skills with ease. However, as your strength increases, this situation will come. "Xiao Xing said.

"This is certain. If we work together, not to mention this small Tingchao City, even the Tianlong Empire will be easily overcome by us." Li Yun said confidently.

…

Tingchao City can be said to be one of the gateways to the outside world in the southern part of the Tianlong Empire. A large number of ships travel between the sea and the Chaojiang River every day. Tingchao Port is the pass in the middle, shouldering this important responsibility.

In a huge pavilion at the port's city tower, a man wearing an imperial red military robe was reviewing documents. This man's name was Zu Qiguang, a general of Tingchao Hong Kong's army.

The army in Tingchao Port is directly affiliated with the empire and is not under the management of the main palace of Tingchao City. Its direct boss is Pingnan Hou. As a close confidant of Marquis Pingnan, Zu Qi had great power in the port, enriched his own pockets, and lived a very comfortable life.

At this time, a guard came in and shouted: "Report, Deputy General Zhang is here!"

"Let him in."

A blue-shirted general hurried in outside the building, accompanied by two businessmen-looking men.

"General Ancestor, the end is coming." Lieutenant General Zhang Ke said loudly.

"How's it going?"

"That fleet belonged to the Chen family in Chaocheng, and the cargo was mysterious beasts from the Xirong Empire. These two people are the second and fourth masters of the Chen family," Zhang Ke said.

"I see. Why weren't the goods registered in advance this time?" Zu Qiguang turned to the two businessmen and asked.

Chen Taichang, the second master of the Chen family, took a step forward respectfully and said: "General Ancestor, this time you went to Xirong to buy mysterious beasts for use in my Chen family's colosseum. However, although we had previously filed for the purchase of mysterious weapons, Unexpectedly, after the two of us arrived in Xirong, we found that there were more mysterious beasts there and were more attractive, so we bought a few back. I wonder if the general can be accommodating and let us complete the registration now? "

As Chen Taichang spoke, he took out a brocade box from his body and gently placed it on Zu Qiguang's table.

Zu Qiguang stared at Chen Taichang, opened the brocade box, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "Five top-grade mysterious stones, the Chen family is quite generous."

"Forget it, this is your first offence. Let's forget it this time. From now on, unregistered items, especially dangerous creatures such as large mysterious beasts, are not allowed to enter the port without permission. They must obtain approval before entering. Remember!" Zu Qiguang! said.

"Yes, I understand! Thank you so much, General Zu! I resign!" Chen Taichang nodded and bowed.

The three of them exited the door. Chen Taichang took out a smaller brocade box from his body, stuffed it into Zhang Ke's hand, and said, "Thank you, Vice General Zhang! Please take care of the Chen family's business in the future. We will not forget your benefits." of!"

"Haha, definitely, definitely!" Zhang Ke accepted the brocade box and said with a smile on his face.

The two brothers Chen Taichang left happily.

…

On the noisy Chaojiang River, not far from the harbor, more than a dozen large ships docked here. Dozens of huge cages were unloaded from the ships. They were all covered tightly with thick blankets, with only a few small openings opened for ventilation. Several low beast roars could be heard from inside.

The cage was made of metal and was very large. There were rollers underneath. A group of people pulled it in front and moved forward slowly.

There were many people around. Apart from the curious onlookers, most of them were guards sent by the Chen family.

In addition, there were dozens of people who looked and dressed a bit like the Xirong Empire, pulling some small carriages, and they seemed to be animal trainers.

"Second and fourth brothers, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Gangba, the head of the Chen family, appeared nearby.

"Thank you, brother! This time it went well. These Xirong people are very cooperative. The price of the mysterious weapon we want is very reasonable. Moreover, not only are these mysterious beasts given away and half sold, but they also offer to send these beast trainers over at their own expense. In this way This is the first time I have encountered such a good thing!" Chen Taichang laughed.

"Haha! I think they want to have good relations with our Chen family, occupy the beast fighting industry in Tingchao City, and at the same time, open up the mysterious beast market of our Tianlong Empire."

"Yes, the leader of the Xirong people also said so. It seems that our Chen family will have another source of wealth!"

"Hahaha!" Chen Gangba laughed proudly.

…

The day after he broke through to the Xuanling realm, Li Yun went home to take a look.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Yun'er, you've grown taller!" The third lady said happily when she saw her.

"Yes, mother!"

"Great, hurry up, go see your father and let him see it too!"

"Okay, father is in the study, right?"

"Yes! He seems to have something going on."

"oh?"

Li Yun was slightly startled and hurried to the study room and saw Li Wei reading the files.

"Yun'er, you...have reached the Xuanling realm?!" Li Wei looked up, stared at it for a moment, and said immediately.

"Yes, it broke through yesterday."

"Great! Is the foundation still solid?"

"Solid, I won't try to undermine the success."

"Yes, you should not make any rash advances in Xuan Gong. My father made this mistake back then, which has resulted in slow progress and even stagnation. Now that I think about it, it's too late to regret it." Li Wei sighed.

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely find a way to help you stabilize your foundation and break through again in the future."

"real?"

"Well, but don't let this put you in a bad mood."

"Okay...you put it this way, as a father, I will naturally wait for your good news with peace of mind."

"By the way, I heard from my mother that there seems to be something going on here?"

"Yeah, I wanted to go find you a few days ago, but because the situation was complicated, I wanted to collect more evidence. I didn't expect you to come back today." Li Wei said.

"Hehe, it seems that a new case has occurred!"

"Yes, and it seems to be a major case!" Li Wei said solemnly.

"Oh, tell me quickly." Li Yun suddenly became interested.

Li Wei handed the file in hand to Li Yun and said: "In the past ten days or so in Chaocheng, there have been more than a hundred missing persons reported from various places. Now there is a bit of panic in the city, and many people are afraid to go out. . There is also a verification report made by me and the city government personnel."

Li Yun took the file and calmly flipped through it page by page. He finished it quickly and handed it to Li Wei.

"Have you finished reading?" Li Wei was stunned.

"It's over."

"How's the situation?" Li Wei suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked expectantly.

"One hundred and nine people are missing, of which nearly a hundred are between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, and nine are between the ages of thirty-five and forty. Eighty-eight are men and 21 are women. People. These people have all practiced Xuan Gong and come from fifty-six industries."

"What...can this mean?" Li Wei's eyes lit up.

"What the murderer needs is someone who is young, strong, and full of vitality." Li Yun said.

"Any more?"

"Judging from the location of the crime, missing people mostly occur in the southern area. If you draw a map, the central area where the missing cases occur is near the Colosseum and the Chao Ting Platform of the Chen family." Li Yun said.

"This...what's going on in the intersection center area?" Li Weiqi asked.
