A sneak attack on the old man and a plot against him.

Relying on the power of the Hun Tian Five Elements Formation to cover his figure, the old monster of the Red Sun received four or five moves of the Mountain Seal from Zhang Lie. Before his opponent even saw him, he was hit to the point where his bones were broken and his tendons were broken. He vomited blood and retreated in the form of a rainbow.

After he retreats, Zhang Lie estimates that he will not have the strength or courage to come back in as short as ten or as long as twenty years. And after ten or twenty years, his magic power will inevitably increase significantly. These years are

A period of rapid growth of one's own mana.

Standing in the void, the young Taoist stared at the rainbow of light that was escaping far away, but did not choose to pursue him and take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Monks like Old Monster Red Sun most likely have secret techniques to save lives and even killer moves to turn defeat into victory.

It is more difficult for casual cultivators to grow than sect monks, but once they grow up, their ability to survive is often stronger, just like weeds and wild flowers are more viable.

After drinking tea, Zhang Lie came to the valley before.

There are quite clever shields and protective restrictions around the valley, but they cannot stop Zhang Lie. As the young Taoist swiped his sword, the surrounding restrictions made a sound like broken glass, and then Zhang Lie flew into it and scanned all directions.

There was nothing outside yet, but after Zhang Lie broke through the stone door and flew into the depths of the cave's underground palace, he discovered that many red ores were growing on the surrounding rock walls, mottled like the blood of the earth.

"...These are all earth blood? The reason why that old monster is entrenched here and secretly establishing his power is for these earth blood?"

He cracked the restriction mechanisms one by one. When Zhang Lie walked into the core of the cave, he found that there were dozens of alchemy cauldrons placed inside. The cauldrons were all filled with elixirs. The high temperature spread and suppressed the circulation of the earth's spiritual energy.

.

And in the center of the cauldron array, a mechanism was opened to refract the moonlight from outside. There was a huge vermilion blood crystal in the center, which was spreading a strange and magical charm to the surroundings at this moment.

It seems to lead people into a fantasy world.

"It is indeed the essence of the earth, but it is not fully mature yet."

"The old monster Hong Sun has been able to cultivate to this point because he has his own Taoist heritage. His formations are not very good, but this alchemy technique has actually been cultivated to the point where the soul essence is formed by condensing and refining the earth's blood.

"

Zhang Lie is a member of several Taoist schools, so his knowledge is extremely broad.

He recognized that in front of him was the spiritual essence of heaven and earth treasures. It was also one of the few heaven and earth spiritual treasures in the Tongxuan world that could increase a monk's magic power without any side effects.

It's just that the one in front of you is not yet fully mature, and it will take tens of thousands of years for these spiritual creatures to truly take shape.

Of course, monks, especially casual cultivators, can't afford to wait. After the old monster Hong Sun discovered this earth's soul, he devoted all his life's learning to using alchemy to assist in catalyzing this earth's soul. He only waited for it to be fully formed and served.

This can increase one or two levels of mana and save hundreds of years of hard work.

Zhang Lie took two steps forward, first summoned the demon corpse and asked it to guard outside. Then he transformed his magic spell with his hands and shot out a rainbow light that enveloped the soul of the earth.

After a moment, the blood crystal suddenly shattered, and a crimson soul beating slowly like a heart was taken out by Zhang Lie and held in his hand.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Having this thing can save me hundreds of years of hard work."

Old Monster Red Sun cannot use the immature Earth Soul Essence, but Zhang Lie cannot use the mature Earth Soul Essence.

The reason why the old monster in the red sun retreated so easily was because he knew that the essence of the earth's soul still needed nearly a hundred years of sacrificial practice before it could be matured and consumed. Even if he was repelled for a while, it would be nothing. Xu Tuzhi might finally

You are still the one who picks the peaches.

But he never dreamed that the person who plotted against him was not a Nascent Soul cultivator like himself, but a Golden Core cultivator.

The effectiveness of the immature Earth Soul Essence is greatly reduced by ten times, but it is still effective for Golden Core Realm monks.

Zhang Lie sent out a flying sword message to transfer Yunmengyao to the Red Sun Cave.

Then rearrange the concealment and defense formations.

It ensures that even if the old monster of the red sun comes back, Yun Mengyao can preside over the formation and still be able to fight.

Then he immediately began to retreat, preparing to swallow and refine the immature earth soul essence.

Every time Zhang Lie increases his magic power, his actual combat power will increase by leaps and bounds. Therefore, it is impossible for him to choose to wait for hundreds of years like the old monster in the red sun for the earth's blood to fully mature the soul of the earth.

, wait until you advance to the Nascent Soul realm and then swallow it to achieve maximum effectiveness.

"Master, the nature of immature earth soul essence is extremely violent. Although it can be taken, it will put a great burden on the body, so please be careful."

After Yunmengyao came to Hongri Cave Mansion, although she was very happy about her master's encounter this time, she was still a little worried.

Compared to the mild nature of the mature Earth Soul Essence, this immature Earth Soul Essence is too powerful.

"Don't worry, Mengyao. My physical strength is not weaker than that of a fifth-level body refining monk, and my magic power endurance is not weaker than that of a fifth-level magic monk. With the coordination of the golden elixir, I can be raised to the sixth level. Within a certain period of time, I will not be weaker than

A monk who practices both Dharma and Body in the Nascent Soul Realm.”

"Although monks who take this immature spiritual essence will explode and die in all likelihood, according to records, there are always a few successful ones. I was born with evil bones and inherited the inheritance of the Book of Heaven from the Outside World. It will be okay. Don't worry.

Nothing will happen."

Patting the white-haired girl on the head, Yun Mengyao knew that Zhang Lie had inherited the Heavenly Book from Beyond the World, but she didn't know that Zhang Lie had cultivated the body of Emperor Taihao, and Zhang Lie would not deliberately tell her.

This kind of secret is less dangerous if one less person knows it before there is enough power to protect oneself.

The brief confrontation between Zhang Lie and the old monster Red Sun, although very short, had an impact that was not small at all.

The short and fierce fight of the Nascent Soul Realm masters still caused waves of spiritual energy to hit thousands of miles. This was too shocking for the Xuanguang Mountain monks in the border area.

Immediately afterwards, the leader of the Evil Sun Sect died, and the Five Poison Sect first destroyed Hanwu Mountain and then the Evil Sun Sect, with a powerful momentum like a rainbow.

Therefore, it is natural for some people to speculate whether there is support from a Yuanying realm monk behind the Five Poison Sect.

For the monks of Xuanguang Mountain, this kind of speculation is enough to shock them. As a result, the Five Poison Sect has become increasingly prominent.

"What Nascent Soul Patriarch, Hunyuan Patriarch? Where did you hear this? The Evil Sun Gate and Hanwu Mountain have just been destroyed. I see that many people in the sect are already looking over their heads and don't know who they are.

Yes, this kind of trend cannot help the growth and does not bring any benefit to the sect."

Within the main altar of the Five Poison Sect, the leader Jie Wuniang was furious and called all the altar masters and incense masters from all over the main altar to the main altar and scolded them.

Then assign a task and ask them to go down and suppress the arrogance and domineering momentum that has arisen in various places.

Farewell to the Evil Sun Sect, Hanwu Mountain was breached. Within two years, the Five Poison Sect developed into a new Evil Sun Sect, Hanwu Mountain, which was even more ferocious and vicious, oppressing the countryside.

After waving her hand to let the altar masters and incense masters from various places leave, Jie Wuniang also had a thought in her heart:

"Master has always shown me the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm in front of me, but in fact, how can any monk in the Golden Core Realm have magical powers like Master? Master taught me the Poison Dragon Heart Sutra, and the more I practice it, the better it becomes.

I think it’s wonderful. If Master is actually the ancestor of Nascent Soul, I actually believe it... The reason why you haven’t told me the truth should be to prevent me from being arrogant and impetuous, right?”

As for the recent fluctuations in the hearts of the Five Poison Sect, Jie Wuniang had already expected it. This is actually an evolution that is bound to happen, but Jie Wuniang has enough confidence that as long as the sect rules are more controlled, Xuanguangshan monks

Life is definitely much better than in the past.

After practicing the Poison Dragon Heart Sutra and destroying the two forces of Xie Rimen and Hanwu Mountain, Jie Wuniang also announced that she had lifted the sect rule that required disfigurement after entering the sect.

However, under the advice of many elder altar leaders in the church, new monks are still given the right to choose freely:

If you are willing to inherit the tradition of the old Five Poisons Sect, you will be given a certain preference in cultivation resources. If you are not willing, you will also be granted the Five Poisons Dao.

Ruining one's appearance and concentrating on cultivation can also be regarded as a manifestation of devotion to the Tao. After cultivating the Five Poison Evil Elements to a high level, one can eliminate the poisonous blood in one's body, restore beauty, and even become

More beautiful.

The reason why Jie Wuniang did not have this phenomenon was because after she was promoted to the Zifu realm, in order to improve her magic power, she swallowed a large amount of poisons. The evil elements of the five poisons were irreversible, breaking through the upper limit of detoxification, and the poisonous power backfired, making the situation even worse.

deterioration.

Only after Jie Wuniang practices the Poison Dragon Heart Sutra and is promoted to the Golden Elixir can she completely resolve the poisonous blood and restore her appearance.

At the same time, on the other side, in the Red Sun Cave Mansion.

Under the protection of Yun Mengyao, Zhang Lie began to refine the immature earth soul essence with all his strength.

After the entrance to the earth's soul, the mana that rose violently quickly began to impact his own meridians. Zhang Lie calmly controlled the majestic power to circulate in his body.

Gradually, it became clear why those who took the immature earth soul had a narrow escape from death.

The earth's soul essence itself is an excellent spiritual substance, but in its immature state, the stone energy in it is too heavy and cannot be absorbed too much. Absorbing too much will be detrimental to the body and will petrify the meridians.

The meridians through which the monk's spiritual energy circulated were petrified. When the violent force rushed forward, he was immediately injured and vomited blood, until his body was twisted into a pot of porridge by this force, and his life and soul were scattered.

"Those monks in history who successfully refined these stone qi were either earth-attribute monks themselves or wood-attribute monks. If they had good foundations and strong wills, they could refine spiritual marrow and cultivate to a high level."

"But for me, it doesn't need to be like this."

As Zhang Lie refines the essence of the earth's soul, violent mana circulates throughout the body, and at the same time carries the meridians wherever the stone gas petrifies it. However, as Zhang Lie's will reaches, the meridians in Zhang Lie's body are faintly erupting from within.

Golden light and runes spread out from the outside, and the body of Emperor Taihao was extremely solid, achieving a perfect balance between the golden elixir and the physical body.

The stone energy contained in the earth's soul could not petrify Zhang Lie's meridians, and was even refined and absorbed by Emperor Taihao's law body. Just like the Five Poisons teaching method, the Jie family who originally inherited this method benefited from it.

suffered from it.

After Zhang Lie obtained the Five Poison Dao Lineage, he directly created the Five Poison Evil Yuan Gong to turn harm into benefit and evil into good.

After the danger in the local soul was resolved, only the benefits remained. This violent magic spread from the Dantian, and Zhang Lie felt a burst of intense pain, as if all the muscles in his body were torn apart by impact.

.

But Zhang Lie knew the reason for this, and he also knew that this was a process. He endured the pain and tried his best to refine the violent medicinal power in his body. Every time the magic power was refined, it would increase a little.

As more and more mana is accumulated in the body, it not only breaks through all the major acupoints in the body, but finally the excess mana is gathered into the Dantian, opening up the Dantian and strengthening the physical body.

The Dharma Body of Emperor Taihao is a perfect dynamic balance between the magic power and the physical body, so its ability to withstand stress is many times that of many normal golden elixir traditions.

As time passed day by day, the magic power in Zhang Lie's body also increased day by day. In the end, he refined all the huge spiritual power in the earth's soul marrow, perfectly transformed it into his own magic power, and was promoted to the fourth level of Jindan.
