I don't know how long it took Shen Ruiling to slowly open his eyes and burst out a touch of pure light from his deep eyes.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough in the later stage of foundation construction!"

At this time, a clear sound like running water suddenly came into his ears.

Shen Ruiling looked around and found that Ouyang muxue had stood aside and looked at him.

"You're welcome, Miss Ouyang. I just got a chance to make a breakthrough."

He waved his hand slightly and said with a smile to Ouyang muxue.

At this time, Ouyang muxue's accomplishments still remained at the peak of the middle stage of foundation construction, and obviously did not break through the bottleneck with Shen Ruiling in the later stage of foundation construction.

However, in Shen Ruiling's opinion, after the baptism of the green lotus, the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation construction should be no longer important to Ouyang muxue. As long as she has enough spiritual power in the Dantian, she can break through smoothly.

At this time, Shen Ruiling looked at the lotus pond and found that the green lotus disappeared again, leaving only the other ordinary lotus.

He was slightly stunned, but soon the corner of his mouth bent an arc inexplicably.

Then Shen Ruiling looked up at the sky and found that the sun was already in the sky. It was obvious that it had been a long time.

"Miss Ouyang, I wonder how long it took me to make this breakthrough?"

Facing Shen Ruiling's inquiry, Ouyang muxue was slightly stunned, but said softly:

"About a day!"

Hearing the speech, Shen Ruiling nodded slowly and began to calculate in his heart.

In this way, today is the eighth day for him to enter the "Dongtian ruins", two days before the ten day period stipulated by Qingyun gate.

However, he is located in the deserted desert at this time. It takes almost a day to return to the central area of the secret land, so there is not much time left for him.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruiling looked at Ouyang muxue and asked:

"I wonder where Miss Ouyang is going next?"

"Nature left this desert first!"

Ouyang muxue smiled and looked at Shen Ruiling with deep meaning.

"Why... Is childe Shen going somewhere else?"

Hearing the speech, Shen Ruiling shook his head and said slowly:

"The girl is joking. I'm going to go back to the central area of the secret territory first."

"In that case, let's start at once!"

"Good!"

……

Shen Ruiling returned to the shore of the lake, stepping on the lotus leaves, and then left the white snow valley without looking back.

Soon after they left, the sun shone through the mist on the island in the middle of the lake, and then a mysterious green lotus stand there again.

Shen Ruiling followed the route they had taken when they went up the mountain and carefully crossed the dense forest at the bottom of the mountain.

Although their strength at this time has been greatly improved after insight, once they disturb the fourth order monster, they still have to run for their lives.

In this way, Shen Ruiling and Ouyang muxue cooperated as perfectly as before. After solving several third-order monsters without eyes, they finally went down the mountain through the dangerous forest.

After returning to the oasis at the foot of the mountain, they did not immediately enter the desert, but found a place to rest and look for some high-quality natural materials and earth treasures here.

Although there are many monsters living in this oasis, the most powerful of these monsters is only the third-order peak, and Shen Ruiling can cope with it completely.

Because it is located in the depths of the desert, few monks will come here, so there are few other competitors.

Relying on the snow-white Linghu in Ouyang muxue's arms, Shen Ruiling and his wife can easily find some rare natural materials and earth treasures.

After finding these Tiancai and earth treasures, they tacitly join hands to kill the guardian monsters, and then distribute the harvested Tiancai and earth treasures reasonably.

Because Ouyang muxue never wanted the bodies of those dead monsters, Shen Ruiling made up for her loss with the natural materials and earth treasures she obtained.

In this way, after they searched the oasis, they began to enter the vast desert.

……

One day later, Shen Ruiling and Ouyang muxue finally crossed the desert and returned to the central area of the secret land.

"Miss Ouyang, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Ruiling turned to Ouyang muxue and asked casually.

"I'm going to find a Taoist friend in our casual cultivation alliance. What's Mr. Shen's plan next?"

Ouyang muxue smiled.

Shen Ruiling nodded slowly, then said with a faint smile:

"Naturally, I'll continue to take a chance in the dense forest."

"Now most of the surviving monks in the secret place have gathered together to act. I'm afraid I'll suffer if you walk alone."

"Childe, it's better to go with the little woman. After finding other Taoist friends of the casual cultivation alliance, we will act together."

Ouyang muxue looked at Shen Ruiling and reminded him with a deep opening.

Hearing the speech, Shen Ruiling was stunned, but declined politely:

"Thank you for your kindness, miss. I'm just used to being alone!"

Although Shen Ruiling didn't say it clearly, Ouyang muxue still heard his refusal. A look of loss flashed in her eyes, but the sudden color of loss soon disappeared.

Shen Ruiling and Ouyang muxue seem to have reached a tacit understanding. Neither of them talked about the opportunity to tie the pill.

The two sides said to each other to take care of each other, and then swept away in different directions.

After plundering out for a few miles, Shen Ruiling couldn't help stopping and couldn't help looking behind him.

He sighed slowly and then skimmed towards the center of the dense forest.

……

At the same time, in an unknown mountain ditch in the northeast of the secret territory, a group of monks dressed in the clothes of inner disciples of Qingyun gate have already gathered here.

On the rock in front of the inner disciples of Qingyun sect, five Qingyun sect disciples dressed in dark purple Taoist robes stood there.

These five people, four men and one woman, each of them exudes a very powerful breath, which is no worse than the friars at the peak of the later stage of foundation building among the disciples of the inner sect.

Soon, three more disciples of Qingyun sect rushed to the gully from a distance. Two of them were stained with blood. It seems that they were seriously injured.

The middle-aged man headed by the five looked at the three embarrassed people, then glanced at the inner disciples in front of him, and said with a trace of coldness in his tone:

"Why didn't four disciples come!"

At this time, an old man led by the inner disciples stood up.

"Tell elder martial brother long that younger martial brother Xin, younger martial sister Liu and elder martial brother Qi have fallen. I'm afraid younger martial brother Wang, who hasn't come yet, is in danger!"

After hearing these words, a gloomy color flashed on the middle-aged man's face.

"Tell elder martial brother that we were attacked and killed by Wuji friars on our way. These Wuji friars seem to be hunting our foundation building friars."

At this time, one of the three who had just arrived here spoke to the middle-aged man.

After hearing this, a flash of anger flashed in the eyes of the Qingyun sect disciples present.

"Elder martial brother, it seems that the Wuji sect's practice is somewhat abnormal this time. Do they already know any news?"

At this time, another young man beside the middle-aged man preached into the secret passage.

Generally speaking, in the first half of the secret territory, there will be no struggle between their two sect disciples and the core personnel of the casual cultivation alliance.

Because during this time, everyone is busy looking for natural materials and earth treasures, and is unwilling to waste their time hunting and killing each other's friars.

Only in the last few days when the secret place will be closed, the three of them will start hunting each other's core friars.

This can not only weaken the overall strength of each other's forces, but also get the natural materials and earth treasures collected by those dead friars, which is much more cost-effective than starting at the beginning.

But this time, wujizong shot at them as soon as he came up. It seems very strange. Is this preparing to declare war with them?

After meditating for a moment, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the four people around him and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry about friar Wuji first. Let's finish this task first!"

The remaining four people couldn't help looking at each other, and finally nodded and agreed.

At this time, another Qingyun sect disciple dressed in dark purple robes arrived here, walked directly to the middle-aged man and said with a puzzled face:

"Elder martial brother, I don't know when the beast has broken through to the fourth level middle grade."

After hearing this, the faces of the five middle-aged men immediately flashed an ugly color, with a faint look of fear.
