Chapter 9: Golden Elixir Power
After counting with his fingers, he found that he had been practicing for more than ten days, and the day agreed with the ancestor of the fox clan was getting closer and closer. Zhang Qian was just about to transform into an ancient dragon loach again to continue practicing, but unexpectedly at this moment, a mysterious feeling suddenly arose in his heart, a feeling of crisis.

This feeling was extremely mysterious, and Zhang Qian's face changed immediately. His mental strength was now extremely strong, and this feeling could not be without reason.

"Is there a major crisis coming?"

Zhang Qian was a little confused, and hurried back to the water house. He called Silver-faced and Red-faced, and said solemnly, "I sense a great crisis is coming. You two should follow me and leave the water house!"

Silverface touched his head and said, "Sir? Is your perception accurate?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just listen to me. Also, remember to bring Qiao Jinning with you, pack up your things and leave now!"

Zhang Qian felt more and more anxious. He did not care about anything else and gave orders in a hurry. Fortunately, there was nothing to clean up in the water palace. There were only Zhang Qian, Silver Face and Red Face, and two monsters in the whole water palace. Each of the two monsters held a water-dividing fork. Zhang Qian put all his things in the storage bag, then Silver Face and Red Face ran to the cellar, carried up Qiao Jinning who had turned into stone, and followed Zhang Qian out of the water palace in a hurry.

"My Lord, where are we going?"

After leaving the water palace, they walked at the bottom of the river for a while, and asked, looking back every few steps.

Zhang Qian pondered for a while and was about to answer when suddenly a terrifying pressure descended from the sky and covered the water palace behind him!
Click, click, click...!
Under this terrifying pressure, the entire water palace shattered visibly, the water-repelling formation covering the water palace exploded directly, and the entire water palace was crushed into powder by a torrent of tens of thousands of tons.

"Silence!"

Zhang Qian's heart skipped a beat, and as soon as he thought about it, the ancient dragon loach's innate magical power was activated. With Silver Face and Red Face, he used the earth escape technique to escape deep into the ground.

Zhang Qian’s earth escape technique may seem ordinary, but it is the innate magical power of his ancient dragon loach, a natural spell that he knew naturally, and he managed to avoid the terrifying pressure silently.

Just when Zhang Qian and others had just escaped deep underground, a domineering spiritual sense swept over. Zhang Qian secretly cried out in alarm, and as he stretched out his finger, a flash of khaki light passed by. The silver-faced, red-faced, and himself all turned into gray stone.

As soon as it turned into stone, that domineering spiritual consciousness swept across. Zhang Qian could even feel the unyielding domineering will in this spiritual consciousness.

"Who is this person?"

Zhang Qian was extremely curious, and then he thought of Qiao Jinning beside him. He had some guesses: "Could this great man be Qiao Jinning's master?"

The person who came was Qiao Jinning's master Ye Tianjing. After leaving Mangcang Mountain, Ye Tianjing rode Jianhong at a speed comparable to Leiyin, and it didn't take long for him to arrive near the Li River.

Then he began to search along the Li River's tributaries one by one. All the river gods under the jurisdiction of the Mangcang Sword Sect were severely interrogated by Ye Tianjing. After interrogating hundreds of river gods, he did not get any useful clues at all.

However, he used the art of divination, but could not figure out the whereabouts of Qiao Jinning at all. It was as if Qiao Jinning had disappeared between heaven and earth for no reason. This made him more and more angry, until he came to Lishui River. He sensed it for a moment, but could not sense the location of the Lishui River God.

It is obvious that the River God Talisman in the depths of the soul of the Lishui River God must have disappeared. The River God Talisman is rooted deep in the soul of the River God, and it is impossible to expel it without the help of a powerful Jindan.

Ye Tianjing immediately began to suspect that his disciple’s disappearance had a lot to do with the Lishui River God!
However, after he angrily destroyed the water palace of the Lishui River God, his spiritual sense swept across the area of ​​hundreds of miles, but he did not find the whereabouts of the Lishui River God at all. This made him even more certain that the Lishui River God was closely related to Qiao Jinning's disappearance.

But he never expected that the Lishui River God whom he had been looking for was hiding under his nose. After Zhang Qian used the innate magical power of the ancient dragon loach to turn himself, Silver Face and Red Face into stone, in Ye Tianjing's spiritual scan, they were just a few big stones, nothing strange at all.

Ye Tianjing was furious at this moment. He scanned the area with his spiritual sense again. After finding nothing, he snorted coldly with an unpleasant expression. A jade-clear sword pill appeared, and the sword pill turned into a hundred-foot sword rainbow that wrapped around him and flew out along the Lishui River. While flying, Ye Tianjing extended his spiritual sense to find Zhang Qian's whereabouts.

"I remember that the Lishui River God's name was Zhang Qian. The spirit he manifested was a small loach, and his talent was dreadful. When he came to the Lishui River to be the river god, his cultivation was only at the initial stage of spirit. With his little cultivation, which Jindan great power would help him take out the river god talisman from his soul? Could it be that there are other great powers involved in the disappearance of my disciple?"

Thinking of this, Ye Tianjing's face became even uglier. In a dozen days, it would be the day of the decisive battle between his leader and the Peach God Sect Leader. At this juncture, something like this happened, and Ye Tianjing couldn't help but be suspicious.

On the other side, after Zhang Qian sensed that Ye Tianjing was flying away, he hurriedly lifted the petrification spell cast on himself and Yin Lian Hong Lian. Yin Lian Hong Lian also clearly sensed Ye Tianjing's terrifying pressure and spiritual awareness just now. At this moment, the two monsters' eyes were full of fear.

"Sir, what should we do now? That great man must be Qiao Jinning's master. Why don't we release Qiao Jinning? He is simply a disaster. If we keep him around, if his master comes looking for us, we will be dead."

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes and said, "No, I have already offended him severely. If I let him go, he will definitely seek revenge on me. Don't worry, my petrification spell is not ordinary. His master will not be able to find it."

Zhang Qian's petrification spell is the innate magical power of the ancient dragon loach in the prehistoric times, but it is not the magical power of the Xihuang world. There is a huge difference between the two, and it is this difference that gives Zhang Qian the confidence to avoid Ye Tianjing's detection.

"Let's go to Qingyao Mountain!" After everyone got out of the Lishui River, Zhang Qian did not dare to delay for a moment. With a thought, he used a water escape technique. A clear blue wave about ten feet in diameter appeared, holding up Zhang Qian and Yinlianhonglian. Then the wave trembled slightly, three feet off the ground, and moved towards Qingyao Mountain at an extremely fast speed.

Zhang Qian's cultivation level is very low now, and the speed of the earth escape and water escape he uses is not fast. However, earth escape and water escape are Zhang Qian's blood talents, things he is born with, and do not require any effort. He uses earth escape and water escape as easily as an ordinary person.

Qingyao Mountain is three hundred miles away from Lishui River, which is not far for cultivators. The reason why Zhang Qian decided to go to Qingyao Mountain is because he is very sure that the ancestor of the fox clan in Qingyao Mountain will protect him.

The fox tribe in the Qingyao Mountain is very well hidden. Even the nearby immortal sects don’t know that there is a fox tribe in the Qingyao Mountain. They don’t even know that the ancestor of this fox tribe is a big demon that has formed a demon pill.

The three hundred miles were covered in no time thanks to Zhang Qian's water escape technique. At this moment, Zhang Qian came to the edge of a huge circular basin. At a glance, the basin was full of fog, and strange noises were heard from time to time, like some strange beast was roaring.

Qingyao Mountain is hidden in this fog. This place looks like a basin with only continuous fog in the basin. However, this is just a formation set up by the ancestor of the fox clan of Qingyao Mountain. The real Qingyao Mountain is hidden behind this fog.

"go with!"

Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and pointed, and huge waves rushed towards the fog in the basin.

Dong Dong Dong...!
The strange thing is that these huge waves did not hit the fog at all, but were blocked by a layer of strange light curtain that suddenly appeared. The huge waves collided with the light curtain, making a loud bang, but this layer of light curtain that looked very thin was unexpectedly solid, and the huge waves could not shake it at all.

"Who is acting so arrogantly here?"

A low growl filled with anger suddenly sounded from behind the light curtain. Zhang Qian was slightly stunned when he heard the growl, and felt that the voice was very familiar.

hum!
After a while, a vague portal appeared on the light curtain in front of him, and a figure walked out of the portal.

"It's you!"

The man who came was very handsome. It was Di Qingquan who had fought with Zhang Qian before!
"What are you doing here? You are so brave that you come to my Qingyao Mountain to act wildly!"

When Di Qingquan saw hatred in Zhang Qian's eyes, he stretched out his hand and a long white whip appeared, ready to attack.

"Slow down, slow down. Haven't you suffered enough? You still want to fight me? Go and report to your ancestor. I have something important to discuss with him."

"How ridiculous! What important matter could you have? Are you planning to cause trouble in Qingyao Mountain?"

Di Qingquan looked at Zhang Qian with fear and sneered slightly.

Chi!
At this moment, a long sword suddenly appeared in Zhang Qian's hand. He stabbed it lightly, and a blood-red sword energy rushed out, directly cutting off a part of Di Qingquan's temples. The terrifying sword intent emanating from the sword energy made Di Qingquan's face change drastically.

"How dare you do that!"

Zhang Qian smiled lightly, resisting the urge to kill Di Qingquan right now, and said, "Why not? Your ancestor entrusted me with a great matter, and now I come to discuss it with him, and you dare to stop me. I think you want to rebel. Do you want me to have a good talk with your ancestor?"

"you……!"

"Step aside!"

Zhang Qian didn't give Di Qingquan a good look either. He pushed him aside and stepped through the door.

After entering the gate, Zhang Qian's eyes lit up. Although he had been to Qingyao Mountain once, when he saw the scenery of Qingyao Mountain again, Zhang Qian couldn't help but praise them in his heart. These vixens may not be good at other things, but their means of decorating their own lairs are no worse than anyone else.

Behind the gate, I saw a verdant and sacred mountain hundreds of feet high. The mountain was very beautiful, with cliffs dotted in the middle. Waterfalls flowed down these cliffs, and each waterfall was connected to each other, spiraling down along the cliffs around the mountain, as if there was a strange spring on the top of the mountain, flowing water around the entire Qingyao Mountain.

Among the flowing waters surrounding Qingyao Mountain, there are pavilions and towers with ingenious designs appearing from time to time. What is even more amazing is that above every waterfall in the mountain there is a gorgeous rainbow flashing. Under the shining of these rainbows, the entire Qingyao Mountain is gorgeous, fascinating and refreshing.
