He began to attain enlightenment from the Demonic Sect.

Chapter 31 Attack

Upon hearing this, Du Jianyuan fell silent.

Now that things have come to this, how could he not believe what An Mingjun once said: "Where I am, you are too."

Du Jianyuan sat down, took the tea Qin Mo offered, and asked:

"How badly is Falcon's injury?"

With just this one sentence, Qin Mo knew that An Mingjun held a very important place in her master's heart, and dared not be ambiguous in the slightest, so she quickly replied:

"Lord An has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. When he tried to restrain Shen Suxian, his chest was crushed by her and a mid-grade puppet..."

"Fortunately, Lord An had the help of a senior brother who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining. That person was extremely ruthless. He first broke Ni Jing's limbs, who had just broken through, and stuffed her into a water vat. Then he went to support Lord An and severely injured Shen Suxian. Only then were the two of them able to escape."

Du Jianyuan was not surprised. Brother Falcon had been planning for so long, he must have made full preparations, and it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.

As for the so-called serious injury, An Mingjun cultivates the [Ding Huo] lineage, which inherently possesses healing abilities. Coupled with his mid-grade alchemy skills, he will recover completely in just a few days.

Du Jianyuan put down his teacup, glanced at Qin Mo, and asked again:

"Shen Suxian must have been furious at that time... Did she make things difficult for you?"

He knew in his heart that when he went into seclusion to break through the bottleneck, Qin Mo must have been guarding outside the cave without leaving his side, so as to prevent the aftershocks of the battle from disturbing him.

"Shen Suxian only glared at me fiercely before dragging her heavily injured body to chase after Baiyao Peak... This happened two days ago, and I haven't been able to find out more because I had to guard the cave."

Qin Mo answered truthfully, but looked at Du Jianyuan with considerable apprehension.

Although she was also at the fourth level of Qi Refining, the evil fire true essence within her body had only reached the extreme of Yin and cold, capable of burning away a cultivator's inner self, destroying their spiritual consciousness, and freezing their physical body...

Du Jianyuan's evil fire can not only do these things, but also set up an inextinguishable fire, perfectly bringing out the characteristics of evil fire.

Du Jianyuan didn't ask any more questions, and stood up to give instructions:

"I'm going to the alchemy room to visit Brother Falcon. You go ahead and do your own thing."

"Yes, Master, please be careful in all matters."

……

Baiyao Peak.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Du Jianyuan arrived on the wind, skimming over several undulating hills, and flew straight towards the Dingzi workshop of elixirs.

He tapped the jade pendant at his waist three times with his fingertips, and his magic activated the mark, causing a slight flash of spiritual light.

Before long, a female cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining hurriedly came out from the depths of the workshop to greet them.

She quickly stepped forward, bowed, and asked respectfully:

"Could it be Lord Du Jianyuan?"

Du Jianyuan nodded slightly and casually said:

"Just call me by my name, there's no need for any honorifics."

"No, no... Your Excellency has already instructed that when you see Lord Du, you should treat him as if you were seeing him. I really dare not overstep my bounds. I hope Your Excellency will understand."

The female cultivator bent slightly, her face beaming with smiles, and extended her hand, saying:

"My surname is Pei, and my given name is Xuan... Your Excellency is currently recuperating at home and is unable to move around for the time being, so you specially sent me to lead the way... This way, Lord Du."

Du Jianyuan didn't waste any more words on the matter. He followed Pei Xuan through the front hall of the workshop, turned a corner, and saw a luxurious mansion.

Inside, the pavilions and waterside terraces are arranged in a well-organized and elegant manner, and the spiritual atmosphere is so rich that it turns into a light mist, which is truly enviable.

Pei Xuan led Du Jianyuan to the door of the quiet room, then tactfully stopped, bowed, and stepped back.

Du Jianyuan pushed open the door and entered, seeing An Mingjun sitting cross-legged on a futon, practicing his internal energy to heal his injuries. Although his face was pale, his breathing was smooth, indicating that he had already taken some medicine and was fine.

"In a few days, I will need to open the furnace to refine the Yin Embryo. The cultivation technique must not be interrupted. I hope Lord Du will forgive me for not welcoming you properly."

An Mingjun opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his pale face, and made a teasing remark.

Seeing the silver halo in the other person's pupils, he was completely relieved and smiled with a hint of relief:

"Congratulations, Lord Du, on successfully reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining."

Du Jianyuan did not laugh along, but straightened his clothes and solemnly bowed deeply.

"What are you doing?"

An Mingjun frowned.

"If a younger brother misunderstands his older brother, he can feel better by apologizing."

Du Jianyuan straightened up, a smile finally appearing on his face. He casually picked up a futon and sat down, then said:

"Is there anything you need? I'll go get it for you."

"Stop talking nonsense. What's not in the alchemy room? It's not worth your time to go and mess around there."

An Mingjun chuckled and scolded, but he could also feel the man's genuine concern, and said with deep emotion:

"We are both mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators now. With a little more effort, entering the inner sect will not be a problem."

Upon hearing this, Du Jianyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked accordingly:

"Only by entering the inner sect can one obtain the complete cultivation technique?"

What he cares about most now is the follow-up content of the "Burning Heart of Evil" technique.

As long as he can obtain the Foundation Establishment technique, it doesn't really matter whether he enters the inner sect or not. He can simply escape and find a place to cultivate in peace and establish his immortal foundation.

"No, it just depends on whether the manager is willing to give it to you."

An Mingjun smiled and said again:

"If you want to get the rest of the 'Burning Heart of Evil' technique, you can only try your best to become a head servant and earn more spirit stones for Lord Wen, the manager of the talisman room... Maybe if he's in a good mood, he'll reward you with the rest of the technique."

Du Jianyuan nodded thoughtfully. Ultimately, it all came down to having real value to the steward. He then said:

"There's still a vacant position for head servant in the talisman office. I'll try my best to secure it once Lord Wen returns."

……

Seeing that An Mingjun's injuries were minor and he was in good spirits, Du Jianyuan was much relieved.

After chatting for a while, he got up to take his leave.

The night is dark.

Du Jianyuan rode the wind back, and suddenly sensed two magical forces rapidly approaching. His eyes immediately turned cold, and he waved his hand to throw out two explosive talismans.

"boom!"

Terrifying flames exploded instantly, with waves of fire surging forth.

The two figures hadn't expected Du Jianyuan to be so cautious, and were caught off guard and sent flying backward.

Without hesitation, one of them brandished a long spear, and crimson-black flames swept over, carrying a hint of gray-white.

Seeing that both masked men were at the fourth level of Qi Refining and were practicing the "Heart-Burning Fiery Technique," Du Jianyuan smiled faintly, raised his hand, grabbed the spear, and said indifferently:

"It seems they are all colleagues from the talisman room."

Now that his magical power is pure and his physical body has been tempered by the "Nine Palaces Suspended Evil Sword Technique", he is no longer afraid of cultivators with such mixed magical power.

The man holding the gun's expression changed. He tried to pull the spear out, but it was firmly gripped and he couldn't move. He immediately shouted:

"Help me quickly!"

The other person had already drawn his longsword, unleashing a burst of crimson-black sword light as he slashed out with all his magical power.

Du Jianyuan remained calm and unhurried, only unleashing a burst of malevolent fire magic power, which landed on the remaining flames of the talisman.

In an instant, the remaining flames suddenly expanded, changing in temperature, with flashes of lightning, and transformed into a sea of ​​fire that rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, it engulfed the man along with the sword light!

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from the sea of ​​fire, but was instantly swallowed up by the howling flames.

The man holding the gun instinctively turned his head to look, only to see a hand rapidly enlarging in front of him.

"Snapped!"

The man cried out in pain as his nose snapped off, forcing him to release his spear and plummet straight to the ground.

Before he even landed, the spear transformed into a streak of cold light and shot towards him, ignoring the spiritual light of his protective robe, piercing through his chest and pinning him firmly to the ground.

"Buzz—"

The muzzle of the gun emitted a thin, trembling sound in the night wind.

The man was pinned to the ground, watching helplessly as his companion was burned to death by the evil fire. Filled with terror, he screamed hoarsely:

"Fellow Daoist, spare our lives! We are both under Lord Feng's command..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flying sword silently swept past and slit his throat.
