Chapter 40 The Beginning

At the entrance of Qingshan Town, a handsome young man carrying a huge black ruler that was disproportionate to his body entered Qingshan Town. It was Xiao Yan, who had taken a year off after passing the assessment of Canaan College and was going out for training.

After entering the town, many people cast strange looks at him because of his peculiar appearance, but he ignored them and walked slowly along the shopping street, glancing at the shops on both sides with his peripheral vision as he walked.

After walking for a while, he stopped in front of a herbal medicine shop called Wanyaozhai, thought for a moment, and then walked in.

Not long after, Xiao Yan left Wan Yao Zhai and walked on the street again, with a smile on his face that he could hardly suppress. No wonder Xiao Yan was like this, he just found a big bargain in Wan Yao Zhai, and bought the Blood Lotus Essence, one of the main ingredients for refining the Blood Lotus Pill necessary for swallowing the strange fire, at the price of buying the Yellow Lotus Essence.

Seeing the sky getting dark, Xiao Yan quickly found an inn to stay in. Then he put down the giant ruler and hurriedly took out the Blood Lotus Essence from a pile of Yellow Lotus Essence and put it into a precious jade box.

“Now, if I find another Ice Spirit Flame Grass and a fourth-rank ice magic core, I can refine the Blood Lotus Pill. I hope that the Ice Spirit Flame Grass can be obtained so easily.” Xiao Yan lay on the bed and looked forward happily.

"Hehe, you're dreaming. This kind of thing is rare, and you want to encounter it a second time." Yao Lao floated out of the Bone Inflammation Ring and looked at the disciples he had carefully selected. He was very satisfied with his luck, but he jokingly said.

Then Yao Lao's face straightened and he asked in a deep voice, "You have heard some news today, right? This area of ​​the Monster Mountain Range is very dangerous recently. What are your plans?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned over and sat up, saying, "The news I heard from the mercenaries today is that there have been frequent small beast tides caused by monster riots in this Monster Mountain Range recently, so everyone is not planning to go on missions recently. Let's wait and see. My original idea of ​​following the mercenary team into the mountains is no longer feasible."

After a pause, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao seriously and said in a deep voice, "But I still decided to go into the Monster Mountain Range alone. After all, I went out to gain experience. It is natural that there will be dangers in the experience. If I retreat because of a little danger, then this experience will be meaningless, and there will be no need to think about defeating Nalan Yanran in the three-year agreement."

"Haha, this is the demeanor that my disciple should have. Rest early today, and we will enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range tomorrow." Yao Lao smiled with satisfaction and looked at Xiao Yan with satisfaction. In this Douqi Continent, if you don't dare to face even a little danger, how can you become a strong man. Xiao Yan is now a rough jade, but he has begun to slowly show the mentality of a strong man. Yao Lao believes that this disciple will grow into an outstanding strong man under his training.

At this moment, the one who caused the Warcraft riot and the small beast tide was sitting on a cliff in the Warcraft Mountain Range, holding a glass and gazing at the bright moon in the sky. A giant wolf with silver-white hair was lying obediently not far away, looking with fear at the blue-shirted young man in front of him who had occupied his position where he usually howled at the moon. He was angry but could not say a word.

This person is naturally Lin Yuan. Since Lin Yuan broke through to the Eight-Star Dou King some time ago, he left the valley and began his journey of practicing and fighting all the way.

He tempered his body with natural treasures and his own blood elixir, and tempered his fighting spirit and will to fight with high-intensity combat. During this time, he fought from south to north and from east to west in the nearby Monster Mountain Range. Many fifth- and sixth-level monsters in the Monster Mountain Range had been defeated by him. This was also the reason for the frequent monster riots and small beast tides during this period.

However, Lin Yuan did not engage in excessive killing. Having mastered the Art of Refining the Souls of Hundreds of Beasts, he no longer had any need for the essence and blood of monsters. As long as the monsters had some sense, he could basically survive.

After this period of training, Lin Yuan's cultivation after breaking through the eight-star Dou Wang has been consolidated, his Dou Qi is very solid, and his physique has also grown a little. After drinking a cup of fruit wine brewed from spiritual fruits, Lin Yuan dispersed the green wine cup condensed by Dou Qi, and took out a very detailed map of the Warcraft Mountain Range near Qingshan Town from the ring. It was the most detailed map nearby drawn by Wanyaozhai. He studied several possible routes that Yao Lao and Xiao Yan might take to enter the mountain, and confirmed the route hub on the map.

Then, Lin Yuan stretched out his arm and said to an extremely delicate purple 'jade ring' on his arm: "Zi Yu, tell Qing'er that I will not be back for the next few days. Ask her to help control some low-level followers to focus on monitoring the third, fifth, sixth, ninth, eleventh, and fourteenth areas marked on the map. If they find the target I mentioned, notify me in time."

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, the purple jade ring on his arm began to twist and deform, and a small slender snake only about two centimeters long appeared in front of Lin Yuan. It was covered with tiny purple jade scales all over its body, and its eyes were very smart. There was an exquisite three-flower mark on its head, and it looked like an exquisite purple jade sculpture.

It was the fourth-level magical beast, the Purple Jade Scaled Snake. This was an extremely rare fourth-level magical beast. It was weak, timid, and had low combat power, but it was very intelligent, enough to take on the responsibility of being the middle channel for communication between him and Qinglin. It was specially selected by Lin Yuan and brought with him. Thinking of the body of this Purple Jade Scaled Snake being two meters long, but being made so small by the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, Lin Yuan had to sigh from the bottom of his heart again at the magic of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, which was worthy of being the world's number one wonder pupil.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Jade Scale Snake immediately passed the message to Qing Lin. After receiving the message, Qing Lin, who was practicing, passed on orders to dozens of his low-level followers, asking them to monitor several areas at the locations designated by Lin Yuan. If a young man with a giant black ruler on his back passed by, they would immediately report it.

After conveying the order to her followers with her mind, Qinglin's eyes were somewhat excited and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Although her current strength was not strong and she was only a three-star fighter, she could already start to help the young master, which made her feel very excited.

After the purple jade-scaled snake passed the message back to Qinglin, it looked at Lin Yuan ingratiatingly. Lin Yuan chuckled, took out a jade bottle, and poured a drop of diluted Earth-Tempering Body Milk into its mouth. The purple jade-scaled snake's eyes immediately revealed a satisfied expression, and it turned into a jade ring again and circled Lin Yuan's wrist.

Looking at the moonlight, Lin Yuan thought about the process of building a surveillance network through Qinglin during this period of time, and a look of satisfaction appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes.

The starting point of this matter is that Lin Yuan noticed an overlooked blind spot, that is, since Qinglin can communicate with the snake-shaped monster she subdued, and the way of communication is still extremely mysterious, even the soul power cannot detect, then the distance of communication is extremely critical. After Qinglin broke through the fighter level, Lin Yuan took her to do a series of tests and found that Qinglin could communicate with her relatives who were far away from her. This discovery made Lin Yuan very happy, which meant that Qinglin could conduct remote commands. (This is not made up. In the original text, when the two-headed fire spirit snake took Xiao Yan to find Qinglian, it could remotely communicate with Qinglin in the magma sea)

So under his design, an intelligence and command network with Qinglin as the core was successfully built, and Lin Yuan named it the Sky Network. In this network, Lin Yuan issued orders to Qinglin, and Qinglin issued orders to his followers, which was equivalent to Lin Yuan being able to command a large number of monsters through Qinglin. It was extremely valuable to Lin Yuan now, and it also had great development potential in the future. Lin Yuan had already made many plans for this.

This time, using this network to find Xiao Yan is the first practical test. According to Lin Yuan’s judgment, Xiao Yan has entered the Warcraft Mountain Range in the past few days.
