Among the three streams that merge into Qingshui River at Sanhekou, the largest one is called Xuansha River.

It got this name because of the black sand deposits in the river.

This black river sand is not ordinary sand and gravel, but the ore fragments of black iron ore.

In the Xuansha River Basin, there are several small and medium-sized Xuansha iron mines.

The Chen family, the biggest enemy of the Liu family, has its ancestral homeland of Xuansha Lake, located in the middle reaches of the Xuansha River.

The several black iron mines in the Xuansha River Basin are naturally the property of the Chen family.

Liu Yuanchen did not intend to attain enlightenment in the Sanhekou swamp, but went upstream along the Xuansha River.

The water volume of the Xuansha River is not as good as that of the Qingshui River, and after being intercepted by the Chen family, the water volume is even less.

Moreover, there is not much spiritual power left in the water.

On both sides of the Xuansha River, there should be more trees that will lose their leaves in autumn and winter, which can be used to learn the dead wood longevity technique.

Ever since he was almost killed by the Chen family last time, Liu Yuanchen has been wanting to take revenge.

However, when the Chen family deceived Liu Yuansi before, their methods were quite extraordinary.

It is certain that the Chen family has a master of tactics, and the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open.

To deal with master tacticians, playing tactics means seeking abuse.

The simplest and most effective way is to use your intelligence advantage to defeat him beyond his cognitive scope.

Given the background of the Chen family, information channels are limited to the territory of the Qingdan Sect.

To win, we must introduce forces outside the scope of Qingdan Sect.

The Blood Bat Cult, an extraterritorial force that has recently taken the initiative to jump out, is the best choice.

It can be said that the Chen family knows nothing about the Blood Bat Cult.

I have some understanding of the Blood Bat Cult, although not much, but it is enough to form an intelligence advantage over the Chen family.

As long as the Chen family can gain the hatred of the Blood Bat Cult for them without their knowledge, the goal will be achieved.

In the face of absolute strength, any tactics are meaningless.

The Blood Bat Cult happened to have absolute strength when facing the Chen family.

The flying boat flew not far when a black hill appeared in front of Liu Yuanchen.

This mountain is called Black Rock Mountain, which is more than 40 feet high. There is a mine at the foot of the mountain.

There are also large woods around the hills.

As soon as Liu Yuanchen's flying boat approached, a ninth-level Qi-nourishing monk immediately came out.

This person looks to be in his fifties, with some gray hair on his temples.

He raised his hand towards Liu Yuanchen and said, "I don't know who you are, fellow Taoist. What's the important matter for you to come to my Chen's house?"

Liu Yuanchen controlled the flying boat to slowly descend. After landing, the middle-aged monk raised his hands and said: "It turns out he is a disciple of the Qingdan Sect.

Chen Changlin of the Chen family has met Taoist friends."

Liu Yuanchen cupped his hands and said: "Liu Yuanchen, a disciple of the Qingdan Sect's Pill Hall, has met Taoist Fellow Chen."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changlin's face turned green.

His eyes showed a fierce light, and his whole body was filled with mana, as if he was about to take action at any time.

"Liu Yuanchen, you killed my fourth brother, how dare you come here to seek death?"

His fourth brother is Chen Changning, the son of the Chen family who guards Qing Lingfeng in the Qing Dan Sect.

After failing to assassinate Liu Yuanchen, he took the blame and committed suicide.

The Chen family has always been unreasonable. They can kill others, but others cannot kill them.

Seeing him looking like he was about to take action, Liu Yuanchen smiled all over his face.

As long as he dares to take action, the Qingdan Sect's rules can kill him.

The monks from affiliated forces dare to attack the disciples of the Qingdan Sect who are performing official duties. This is a naked rebellion and a serious crime of genocide.

Liu Yuanchen added fuel to the fire: "Chen Changning should die, what? You want to die too?"

Hearing this, Chen Changlin's anger rushed to his forehead.

But when I think about Zhao Hong's words, whoever dares to touch his disciples will be exterminated.

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, we will take action.

Since then, the Chen family has been on tenterhooks.

Afraid that something might happen to Liu Yuanchen, Zhao Hong came directly and ransacked the Chen family.

The senior officials of the Chen family also gave death orders to the clan members. They must never have any conflicts with Liu Yuanchen again, and do not touch his close relatives.

If he is in danger, the Chen family will try their best to help.

Even if he can't be saved, Zhao Hong must let Zhao Hong see the sincerity of the Chen family.

Thinking of this, Chen Changlin suppressed his anger.

Seeing that he didn't take action, Liu Yuanchen felt a little regretful: "I obeyed the orders of Deputy Hall Master Hu of Qinghe Town and was ordered to patrol the Qingshui River Basin to avoid sneak attacks by evil cultivators.

This Xuansha River is also a tributary of Qingshui River, and it is also within my inspection scope. I am here to inspect it today."

Hearing this, Chen Changlin cursed in his heart: "It's useless to patrol. The evil cultivators launched a sneak attack before and the Chen family suffered heavy losses. Why didn't you come to patrol?

The evil cultivator has not been here for several months, now you come to inspect."

However, he still tried his best to put on a smile: "Then I'll thank you fellow Taoist."

Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "The place of responsibility lies not far from the main stream of Qingshui River, so it is easy to be invaded by evil cultivators.

I will stay here for a while. I wonder what your friendship is like?"

Chen Changlin was so angry that his face was livid, but he could only smile: "It is true that fellow Taoists said, evil cultivators often invade this place, and I am very annoyed.

With fellow Taoists stationed here, I don’t have to worry all day long.

My mine is a bit crude, so please don’t blame me."

Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "Don't bother me. I can just meditate in the woods near the mine. There is no need to arrange a cave for me."

Hearing this, Chen Changlin's face turned from livid to completely black.

There is a formation guarding the mine, and Liu Yuanchen will not be in any danger if he lives there, and he does not have to worry.

But if you stay outside, once you are attacked by evil cultivators, the consequences will be disastrous.

He wanted to persuade him, but Liu Yuanchen left the mine and walked towards a forest to the east of the mine.

There are many poplar trees in the woods, which are also a type of charcoal wood.

Even if this tree is nourished by spiritual energy, it will easily lose its leaves in autumn and winter.

At this time, the trees were already covered with yellow leaves.

As long as there is another cold wind, the leaves will fall in a very short time.

This forest is only more than twenty miles away from the main stream of Qingshui River. This distance cannot stop evil cultivators.

Being alone in the woods is the best goal.

Liu Yuanchen found a relatively clean stone in the woods and sat cross-legged on the stone.

Release your spiritual consciousness and sense the vitality changes of the surrounding poplar trees.

In the induction of his spiritual consciousness, a large area of ​​turquoise light appeared around him.

These green lights outline the appearance of big trees.

Moreover, the light distribution on these big trees is not uniform.

There is a lot of vitality in the tree trunks and roots, and the green light displayed is very bright.

The vitality in the branches is significantly less.

And among those leaves, there is very little vitality.

In a palm-sized leaf, there are only a dozen or so green light spots representing vitality.

When the vitality in a leaf disappears, the leaf will naturally wither.

In the next few days, Liu Yuanchen continued to observe these trees with his spiritual consciousness.

The north wind keeps blowing, and the weather is getting colder day by day.

As a monk, Liu Yuanchen naturally wouldn't care about a little chill.

The state of refining before the state of nourishing qi means constantly beating the body.

Once you have reached perfection in the realm of refining, you will be able to avoid the cold and heat.
