The sword light pierced the sky, and the foundation-building monks from Yiling Valley were flying with their swords.
"Senior Brother You..."
One of the foundation-building juniors was a little confused, so he let Jianguang get closer and asked curiously.
"I know what you are going to ask. I only want to say one thing...Longyu Island is not easy. If we attack it by force, I may be fine, but you will all die!"
You Chong's face was stern and he replied calmly.
"How is it possible? The owner of Dragon Fish Island fought with Li Rujian for hundreds of moves, and finally he was able to defeat the enemy with a sword formation. But Senior Brother You, you only used three moves to defeat Li Rujian..."
The junior brother didn't believe it at all.
"I defeated Li Rujian with three swords, and I actually took advantage. This man was seriously injured by Fang Xi long ago, and his injuries never recovered during the fight with me..."
You Chong sighed quietly and told the truth.
'not to mention……'
He said to himself in his heart: 'I practice the 'Zixuan Celestial Eye', which can break through all illusions, see through formations and restrictions, but I can't see through the second-level black wood formation, and that formation is not simple...!
'In addition, I was born with a 'sword bone', and I have practiced the most advanced sword art in my sect. I have already cultivated it to the point where the 'sword heart is transparent'. Just when I wanted to take action, the natal spiritual sword in my body actually grew.
Sounding a warning means that I am in danger of a broken sword... This Dragon Fish Island is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!'
Although sword cultivators pay attention to moving forward without hesitation, they are not fools and will not take the initiative to go to a desperate situation where death is inevitable!
Therefore, You Chong chose to retreat voluntarily. After all, the unknown is the scariest thing.
"Then you let those two people go so easily?...The owner of Dragon Fish Island relies on Lingkongfang Market to make a lot of money every day...Why not take action on Lingkong Island?"
Another junior brother came forward with suggestions.
"In Lingkongfang City, there are many forces mixed together, so it is difficult to take action... After all, I, Yiling Valley, cannot suppress the other three major alchemy-forming forces..."
You Chong sighed.
In fact, seeing the huge profits from Lingkong Island, many monks have thought about it.
No matter how they restrain each other, it's hard to make a move. On the contrary, Lingkong Island belongs to the local foundation-building force. It occupies a favorable location and has a certain righteousness. The price is fairly reasonable, and it doesn't particularly rip off customers.
The four major alchemy-forming forces and many foundation-building forces constrained each other, so they acquiesced in this matter and maintained a fragile balance.
In particular, the head of the Yan family, Yan Dongqing, was good at dancing. According to Fang Xi's instructions, he distributed a lot of benefits to the four major alchemy forces. Therefore, Lingkong Island seemed dangerous, but in fact it was quite stable.
Even if you rush, you don't want to take the initiative and break this balance rashly.
"However... Longyu Island has deep roots and is indeed worth exploring..."
A cold look flashed in You Chong's eyes: "Junior Brother Lin..."
"Senior brother?"
A foundation-building disciple immediately stepped forward.
"I heard...you know that 'Old Demon Ling'?"
You Chongdan Road.
Junior Brother Lin's expression changed, and several foundation builders next to him were even more frightened, looking at Junior Brother Lin with surprised eyes.
Demon Ling is a well-known demon in the Wu Kingdom. It is said that his demonic skills have been cultivated to the stage of perfect foundation building, and he is only one step away from forming a pill!
Moreover, because of his mysterious magic skills and his expertise in various escape techniques, even though the Yiling Valley is difficult to deal with, he has always been wanted, but he has been at ease so far.
Rumor has it that he has an eccentric and eccentric character. He once killed a whole family of a Foundation-building sect because of disagreement over his words. He is the only person in the Wu Kingdom who can stop children from crying at night.
Such a vicious person, could it be that he also came to Wandao Lake this time?
Not only that, but he seems to have some connection with this Junior Brother Lin?
"This...Senior Brother You, you must not mistakenly believe the rumors..." Junior Brother Lin's expression changed drastically, and then under the pressure of You Chongjian's gaze, he couldn't help but lose: "Then Old Demon Ling originally
My surname is 'Lin'. He is said to be from the same sect as me, but I have contacted him twice, but I can swear with my heart that I will never betray my sect..."
"Hmph, if you betrayed your master, Mr. You's sword would have cut off your head long ago..."
You Chong snorted coldly. In fact, the senior officials of Yiling Valley knew the origin of Old Demon Ling, and even used him as a black glove.
Back then, Old Demon Ling had done a lot of things to destroy his family, and he didn't know how much he was pulling out thorns in Yiling Valley. Although You Chong was the core of Yiling Valley, he was not yet at the level where he could mobilize such people.
But it seems that it might not be a bad idea to contact one or two through Junior Brother Lin and make a deal?
'It's just a chess piece, just for me to try the water of Dragon Fish Island...'
You Chong looked in the direction of Dragon Fish Island, feeling a little reluctant after all.
Although retreating without fighting this time was not a great shame or humiliation, it was still a knot in his heart.
As a swordsman, it’s best to be calm!
…
"Two fellow Taoists, please! I'm frightened this time..."
Fang Xi was sitting on the main seat on the top floor of Changqing Pavilion, with Yan Ying and Xia Houxin standing next to her. They were raising glasses to comfort the two fellow Taoists and asked about the situation.
"Alas..." Liu Sanqi drank the spirit wine in one gulp, with a bitter smile on his face: "This time I have offended Yiling Valley severely... I am afraid I will ask the island owner to take him in."
After offending You Chong, he didn't dare to go back to Golden Turtle Island, so he had no choice but to ask Fang Xi to take him in.
"Of course you and I are friends. You can stay on Longyu Island as long as you want..."
Fang Xi laughed. He was also quite interested in researching Liu Sanqi's spirit body.
Ruan Xingling took a sip of the spirit wine, seemed to have recovered some of her magic power, and spoke calmly:
"This time... the formation master of Bai Zexian City used a third-level formation breaking talisman to successfully break through part of the core restrictions and open a passage into the elixir garden... The Nine Leaf Sect is obviously very good at cultivating spiritual herbs. I see elixirs
There are quite a few precious elixirs in the garden. Unfortunately, the fellow Taoist who entered was greedy for profit and took action directly... Fortunately, this time we are exploring the ruby in the city, otherwise we would be out of luck... Relying on Liu Daoyou's talent for searching for elixirs, we broke through the magical elixirs.
In a remote area of the medicine garden, I harvested several golden jade Ganoderma lucidum and Danyundi vines, but I met a Yiling Valley foundation builder who came to fight for them, and I had no choice but to injure him... Taoist friends will know what happened next."
In fact, she and Liu Sanqi used various means to fight with the opponent You Chong, which delayed a lot of time. In the end, they were defeated by You Chong's sharp sword and had to escape to Dragon Fish Island as a last resort.
"So, the excavation of the ancient ruins on the Emerald Island can only enter the inner circle?"
Fang Xi asked about the most critical point.
Liu Sanqi and Ruan Xingling looked at each other: "That's right... There are elixirs in the inner circle alone that can assist in the breakthrough in the middle stage of foundation building. There may be elixir-forming spiritual objects in the core building. It is estimated that this time the four major forces
We need to increase our efforts... and it seems that the side belonging to Bai Zexian City is the most urgent."
"This is really..."
Thinking of Yuan Feihong's desire to speak that day, Fang Xi could only sigh.
However, Baize Fairy City has been glorious for hundreds of years, and when it reaches its peak and declines, it is also natural, and it will pass with a sigh of relief.
"Since you two have lost some vitality this time, you might as well go to Dragon Fish Island to recuperate. I will just refine the 'Chongyuan Pill'..."
Fang Xi mentioned her idea of holding a private exchange meeting by the way, and both Ruan Xingling and Liu Sanqi were very supportive.
Fang Xi doesn't need the 'Chong Yuan Dan' herself, but it is very attractive to bring it out to the exchange meeting.
"By the way, Hongyu asked me to hand this over to fellow Taoist."
Ruan Xingling handed over a jade slip with a smile.
Fang Xi took it, penetrated it with her spiritual sense, and found that it was a wood-attribute skill. She couldn't help but sigh: "Hongyu has a heart..."
In fact, in the past few years, Lingkongfang City has sent the purchased valuable spiritual materials, earned spiritual stones, and unidentifiable objects to Dragon Fish Island for storage several times, just for safety reasons.
This time, the jade slip that Zhong Hongyu asked Ruan Xingling to send was an exercise that casual cultivators obtained from the ruins of the Emerald Island, called 'Kurong Jue'. It was actually a top-level exercise that could be practiced all the way to the middle stage of elixir formation.
!
And judging from the last few articles, it is obvious that there are still some unfinished ideas. There should be a follow-up to this technique, and it may even be the Zongzong technique of the Nine Leaf Sect back then!
Fang Xi has high hopes for this and plans to write a letter to ask Zhong Hongyu to continue searching along this clue.
Maybe after forming the elixir, my skills will be ready!
After the banquet, Liu Sanqi and Ruan Xingling hurried away to enter the cave for retreat to heal their injuries.
Fang Xi went into retreat in the same way, first taking out the 'Ku Rong Jue' and meditating on it.
…
A few months later.
"In ancient times, there was a big chun tree. It was spring when it was eight thousand years old, and autumn was when it was eight thousand years old. Between spring and autumn, it was dry and prosperous..."
Fang Xi, who was meditating on the 'Ku Rong Jue', opened her eyes: "This 'Ku Rong Jue' is indeed a top-notch skill! No matter the intention or the secret skills attached to it, it far surpasses the 'Aoki Longevity Technique'!"
"It would be really good if we could find a follow-up part on how to condense the Nascent Soul..."
"I wonder if my 'Yimu Dharmakaya' can improve the 'Kureng Jue' and bring it to a higher level?"
After thinking for a while, Fang Xi shook her head regretfully:
"Maybe not. After all, the lower the level of skills, the more room for improvement there is. That is to say, the so-called poor students have a lot of room for improvement... But for this kind of top-level skills, the room for improvement is much smaller.
"
"In short, we still need to find the follow-up technique of 'Ku Rong Jue' before we can be fully prepared, and then we can consider modifying the technique..."
"Even so, you might as well practice some of the secret techniques in this technique first..."
'Kurong Jue' is the top wood-type technique. Fang Xi also practices wood-type techniques, as well as 'Yimu Dharmakaya'. After comprehending it, I feel that I should practice those wood-type secret techniques without much problem.
of.
Nowadays, the wood-type secret skills that can enter Fang Xi's eyes are naturally extremely rare.
One of them, called 'Wood Escape Technique', is one of the Five Element Escape Techniques, but it is very rare. It uses plants as a medium to cast spells. It can be very convenient in terrains such as jungles and grasslands.
The other one is a very mysterious secret technique. It is said that even if you practice the 'Ku Rong Jue', you must form an elixir before you can try to practice it. Its name is - 'Ku Rong Xuan Guang'!
