In the private courtyard owned by Lu Ming in the East District of Hongling Cave, Xiaolong sat cross-legged on the ground and quietly guarded 'Lu Ming' in the room behind him. Although Xiaolong knew in his heart that Lu Ming had slipped away as soon as he entered the house, this was
Lu Ming had already discussed it with Xiaolong, so naturally Xiaolong wanted to show off.
Suddenly, Xiaolong opened his eyes and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him. "Brother!" There was a hint of joy on Xiaolong's face.
But when he saw Lu Ming's right hand, Xiaolong couldn't help but change his expression. His right hand was pierced, and the wound was horrific. Lu Ming's face turned slightly pale and he hurriedly ordered, "Xiaolong, don't ask so many questions, come into the house with me."
After saying that, Lu Ming entered the house in a flash. Xiaolong was confused and immediately rushed into the house. At the same time, he waved his hand and set up a ban outside the house to prevent outsiders from knowing what was going on inside.
Entering the house, Lu Ming sat cross-legged on the bed, and then exhaled a long breath. At this time, Lu Ming didn't care that his right palm was pierced. He and the flesh dragon decided life and death in a split second, and he would return to his house at this moment.
, Lu Ming finally calmed down completely.
"Brother, what happened?" Xiaolong asked hurriedly.
As soon as Lu Ming recalled this harvest, he couldn't help but smile on his face: "Xiaolong, you should take action when it's time to take action. Don't be timid, otherwise it will be too late to regret after the opportunity has passed. If you want to get the benefits, you must dare to take risks."
Xiaolong was confused, blinked and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"It's so good, so good!" Lu Ming didn't answer. He waved his hand and saw two large crystal nuclei floating out. The crystal nuclei lost control of their souls and became completely energy crystals. At this moment, they were still exuding a faint energy.
Purple light.
Xiaolong's fiery eyes immediately lit up, and two substantial rays of light shone on the two large crystal nuclei.
"Such a strong energy!" Xiaolong was shocked, "At least it's a fifth-grade spiritual beast. Brother, when did you get these two crystal nuclei? With these two crystal nuclei, it will be of great help to you."
Xiaolong praised.
Lu Ming looked at Xiaolong and said: "This is wrong. It will not only help me, but also help you and Xiaohu." Lu Ming never thought of taking it all for himself.
"These two major crystal cores, one is the crystal core of the purple evil dragon in the middle stage of the item. The other is the crystal core of the red spirit anaconda in the early stage of the fifth grade. Their crystal cores have much more energy than human monks of the same level.
The crystal core of the fungus is enough for me. As for the meat dragon, Xiaolong, you and Xiaohu can refine it together."
Xiaolong shook his head: "No, the energy of the Purple Evil Dragon Crystal Core in the middle stage of the fifth grade is very huge. I can't absorb it. I left Biyuan Valley and was away recently. When I was helping you protect the law, I had a slight breakthrough in my state of mind. My soul
It’s almost enough to match the late stage of fourth grade. Brother, do you understand what I mean?”
Xiaolong's own cultivation level is currently at the mid-4th level, while his soul is at the late fourth-level level.
Xiaolong continued: "I can no longer absorb energy when I reach the late fourth stage at most. If I absorb too much through refining, once my own energy exceeds the soul realm, it will easily cause the energy in my body to lose control, and even energy riots will occur.
It’s so serious that it can even lead to obsession and the person will lose his soul!”
Lu Ming is also very clear about this. The soul is the foundation, and the control of one's own consciousness is only that strong. If the energy exceeds one's control, it will be inconvenient to control during battle, but not as good as when there is less energy. Second, it may cause energy riots.
.
"I know this, but Xiaolong, your own cultivation level has already reached the middle stage of the fourth level. If you want to reach the late stage of the fourth level, you probably only need to refine part of the Nascent Soul. Xiaohu..." Lu Ming thought of Xiaohu and directly
Take out a summons.
Xiaolong saw Lu Ming take out the subpoena order and knew that Lu Ming was subpoenaing Xiaohu.
"Xiaohu, after I stabilize the situation in Hongling Cave in a while, I will send a message for you to come over. By the way, I have the crystal core of the fifth-grade spiritual beast realm, how much can you absorb?" Lu Ming also doubted
Xiaohu’s absorptive ability.
After a while, Xiaohu's message came back. "The crystal core of a fifth-grade spiritual beast? Brother, what big shot did you kill? It couldn't be the fungus. As for how much I can absorb, although I have been transformed by forbidden magic, I have been reborn and cultivated
The speed is much faster than before, including the improvement of the soul realm, but... my cultivation time is too short. Now the soul realm is only around the early stage of the fourth level, and I don't dare to refine and absorb it anymore." Xiaohu's response made Lu Ming helpless.
In the prehistoric world of spirit beasts, there are people who refine third-grade crystal nuclei.
But a real master would not dare to let his skill level exceed the realm of soul. Whether it is Xiaolong or Xiaohu, although they know that there are crystal nuclei around Lu Ming for them to refine and absorb, they do not dare to overabsorb it.
The ancestor of the Dragon Body Technique back then was also due to the slow advancement of his soul realm. Although he had the strength to leapfrog and kill enemies, he did not dare to refine it at will.
There are ways to improve your own skill. One is to collect various Ganoderma lucidum and refine some elixirs to increase your skill. This method is mainly because it is difficult to find rare Ganoderma lucidum and the refining method is also more complicated.
The second is to refine the Nascent Souls of other cultivators.
But if the soul wants to advance by leaps and bounds, it is very difficult. At least so far, no method has been found to suddenly improve the realm of the soul. Therefore, there are not many cultivators who have devoured and refined the golden elixir, Yuanying, and crystal cores. After all, they must dare to refine it.
Absorption, at least the soul level is high enough.
"But brother, I listened to Miss Yan'er's piano in Biyuan Valley, and I felt that my mood improved very quickly. I estimate that it won't take long for my soul to reach the middle stage of the fourth level. I will come to find you then." Xiaohu sent another message.
road.
"Okay, I also have a lot of things to deal with in Hongling Cave." Then Lu Ming cut off contact with Xiaohu.
"Xiaolong, this is the crystal core of the middle stage of the fifth stage. Your skill is higher than mine. Let's refine it first to reach the late stage of the fourth stage." Lu Ming was not in a hurry. Instead, he asked Xiaolong to refine it first. Xiaolong did not refuse and sat cross-legged directly.
Down.
Xiaolong's real strength is actually not beyond the mid-level fourth level, but because he has been banned from practicing for tens of thousands of years, his cultivation has not increased, but because of this, his cultivation speed is extremely fast.
I saw the little dragon's mouth open, and a ball of real fire suddenly shot out, covering the fleshy dragon's crystal core.
Under the burning of the real fire, the crystal core slowly melted, and streams of purple liquid flowed down from the crystal core, and then directly merged into Xiaolong's body. In terms of cultivation speed, it was more than ten times faster than Lu Ming's refining speed. Lu Ming was watching quietly from the side.
Half a day later, the crystal core was almost 20% refined, and the fiery eyes of Xiaolong, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened and emitted a scorching light.
Lu Ming's spiritual sense had long discovered that Xiaolong had reached the late stage of the fourth stage of Nascent Soul, and he immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations, Xiaolong, you have now reached the late stage of the fourth stage. You can probably compete with the Purple Evil Dragon Flesh Dragon."
.”
Xiaolong was very excited and screamed: "Meat Dragon? Although he is in the middle stage of the fifth grade, he is a Purple Evil Dragon, and his strength is much stronger than that of human monks of the same level. In the past, I definitely couldn't defeat him, but now, ha."
Ha ha!"
Xiaolong looked complacent. "Brother, hurry up and practice. I really don't know how your soul can progress so fast. If my soul realm was as high as yours, then I would have refined the entire Nascent Soul in one go." Xiaolong
Looking at Lu Ming, he couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Ming smiled. The three forces merged into one. Even now, Lu Ming is still in the process of exploring. There is no way forward to learn from. At most, it is two forces combined into one. Lu Ming is still the first to combine three forces into one.
"Okay, Xiaolong, you help me protect the law outside. I want to absorb this crystal core with all my heart!" The flesh dragon crystal core, which had absorbed 20% of its energy, was refined and absorbed by Lu Ming again. In terms of soul realm, Lu Ming at this moment
Having already reached the early stage of fifth level, Lu Ming was actually surprised by the improvement of his soul realm.
But... can Lu Ming's soul level be called rapid? Xiaohu alone, after undergoing the forbidden technique, his soul improved very quickly. In just a few years, he went from the early stage of the third level to the current early stage of the fourth level. And for cultivators, once
I understand that it is extremely normal for the soul realm to advance by leaps and bounds.
Enlightenment is rare but Lu Ming's steady improvement is ongoing. Since then, Lu Ming has been refining crystal cores in his own house without worrying about what is happening outside. Xiaolong is also concentrating on protecting the law outside Lu Ming's house, no matter what.
No one can even think of entering Lu Ming's house.
...Hongling Cave North District.
Although nearly half of the underground chambers under the rockery were destroyed, because they were underground, the rockery above the ground and so on had almost no changes. In terms of changes, only the entrance to the underground chambers was blown to pieces.
But the entrance to the cave is inside the rockery, so you can’t see it unless you look carefully. Even the security team of Hongling Cave has to take a detour every time they patrol this group of underground chambers. This is because it belongs to the cave owner, Funer Tai.
Order, the fungus was refining the black jade box in the secret room, so naturally he didn't want anyone to come near.
It has been more than half a day since Lu Ming broke through the restriction and returned to his house. There were dozens of patrols during this half day. However, because they walked around the rockery every time, the guards did not notice that the entrance to the underground chamber group was destroyed.
Dropped.
Another team patrolled here, and the leader was a tall and thick man with eyes like copper bells. At this moment, he was looking around with those bull's eyes, but as he was marching, the team leader suddenly stopped.
"Captain Du Xuan, what happened? Why did it stop?" a short fat man asked.
Captain Du Xuan looked in the direction of the rockery in disbelief. In fact, because all the patrol teams took a detour, and the entrance to the underground chamber group was within the rockery, the only angle on the patrol route that Captain Du Xuan was standing at at the moment could be
The small half of the entrance to the cave can be seen diagonally. After this point, the entrance to the cave cannot be seen at all.
"Follow me!" Captain Du Xuan shouted, and as he said that, he rushed towards the rockery at high speed.
"Captain, the patrol route is not allowed to pass anywhere." The short fat man shouted hurriedly, but Captain Du Xuan, who was running close to the rockery, suddenly shouted, "This is bad! The entrance to the underground chambers has been blown to pieces. Hurry up.
Go and ask for the protector."
The hole in the underground secret room group was broken? All the guards present were in an uproar. They also knew the seriousness of the matter. If they were entering and exiting legally, how could they destroy the door of the cave? Immediately, one by one the guards rushed to notify all the guardians.
Captain Du Xuan held a big ax in his hand and looked into the cave entrance with wide eyes. The passage connecting the cave entrance was covered with countless gravels.
"Du Xuan, what happened?" Ju Scorpion was the first to arrive and immediately shouted to Captain Du Xuan. Captain Du Xuan was the bodyguard directly under Ju Scorpion. Captain Du Xuan hurriedly bowed and said, "Same goes to my subordinates.
I don’t know, I just discovered what happened here, so I informed all the protectors.”
After a while, the three Cuban brothers, the two Bear brothers, the two Snake sisters, the Giant Scorpion, and the Bloodthirsty all came.
"Where are Xiaolong and Protector Lu Ming?" Xiaoqing asked doubtfully.
The giant scorpion smiled and said: "Sister Xiaoqing, it seems that Protector Lu Ming went into seclusion again half a month ago, and Protector Xiao Long is guarding outside. I guess Protector Lu Ming has not left seclusion at this moment." The nine guardians walked into the cave entrance as they spoke.
Seeing the rubble at the entrance of the cave, the nine guardians felt something bad. They walked diagonally down the passage and directly entered the underground chamber group. However, as soon as they entered the underground chamber group, the nine guardians stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence.
The original secret rooms were completely destroyed, and all the rubble was swept to the surrounding areas. A huge open space was cleared in the underground secret room group, with a length and width of six to seven hundred feet. The rubble on the walls of those secret rooms
They are all piled up on the edge.
"Look, that's blood!" Xiaohong, the snake girl, pointed to a spot in the open space and shouted.
The other eight guardians also looked in the direction of their fingers. Sure enough, there was a huge pool of blood, which was caused by the fight between the Red Spirit Anaconda and the Purple Evil Dragon.
"Look at the deep marks on the ground. It should have been the tail of a huge python that hit the ground." Xue Xie said calmly, pointing to a deep mark.
The three Cuban brothers, the two Bears and Big Bears, the snake girls Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, as well as the giant scorpion and bloodthirsty, the nine people carefully analyzed the scene at the scene, and they were sure that a big battle had taken place here.
And one of the protagonists is probably Mu'er Tai who is in retreat here. The nine guardians looked at each other. There was a big battle here, but they had no idea whether Mu'er Tai was alive or dead at this moment, and they had no idea at all.
I don’t know, but after the death of Mu Erfu some time ago, these guardians also felt that something was not good.
"Let's go and see if the jade slip of the cave master's soul is broken!" Bloodthirst, the most powerful man, ordered, and the nine guardians immediately left the group of underground chambers and looked towards the room where the jade slip of everyone's soul was hidden.
The room of the Soul Jade Slip is checked every day, and there are also guards outside.
The two guards were shocked when they saw the nine guardians arriving together.
"Greetings, my lords." The two guards knelt down on one knee and said.
Bloodthirsty looked at the guard, and Xiaoqing shouted impatiently: "You two, open the door quickly." The door of the room was closed with a ban, and Xiaoqing and others did not want to force it open. It was worth ordering that
The guard opens.
"Yes, sir." A guard stood up and shot several demonic energy with one hand into the door. A flash of green light flashed through the door, and the door slowly opened automatically.
The door opened, and the nine guards outside the room also saw pieces of soul jade slips placed on the ancient wooden counter in the center of the room. At this moment, the top piece of soul jade slips had been shattered. The soul jade slips belonged to
The master of Hongling Cave, Fungus Tai!
The faces of the nine guardians changed drastically at the same time. The fungus is so dead!
