A trace of surprise flashed across Lin Xuan's face, but he was relieved immediately.
He is considered well-informed among low-level monks, but this is the first time he has seen a defensive spiritual weapon. In a sense, this kind of spiritual weapon is more valuable than an offensive spiritual weapon.
Before you learn to hit others, you must first learn to be beaten.
This saying in the world of secular martial arts also applies to the world of immortality. Monk fighting is actually more dangerous. If you don't pay attention, your blood will be splattered and your head will be removed after five steps.
Therefore, before fighting, both sides will arrange layers of restrictions, spiritual shields, defensive talismans, and more advanced spiritual weapon shields around their bodies, etc.
Otherwise, no matter how good your cultivation is, no matter how sophisticated your spells are, if the opponent attacks you and you have no protection, you will still be dead.
In terms of the strength of defense, the shield formed by spiritual weapons is naturally the strongest, which makes monks flock to it. However, except for the best spiritual weapons that can have their own shields, the properties of other levels of spiritual weapons are relatively single.
Relatively speaking, defensive spiritual weapons are more difficult to refine, so it is not surprising that Lin Xuan has not seen them.
But then I thought about it, this was Youzhou where the level of cultivation was relatively high, and the opponent was at the Dzogchen stage of spiritual cultivation, so having a defensive spiritual weapon didn't seem too outrageous.
These thoughts ran through Lin Xuan's mind like lightning and flint, but his hands did not stop at all. Seeing that the rain of fire that was falling was blocked by the spiritual weapon, he fired another magic formula like a formation.
One divided into two, two divided into four, and four divided into eight. The Bagua pattern in the sky began to change. The size became a little smaller, but the number doubled.
There was no longer rain of fire pouring out from inside, but red pillars of light were sprayed out.
Tan Ming's face turned a little dark. He squeezed the magic formula with both hands, and then pointed like the flower cloth on his head. The spiritual weapon suddenly turned into a ball shape and wrapped around him.
After all, he is also a Dzogchen cultivator in the spiritual stage. At this moment, Tan Ming has already seen that the talisman trapping him is different from the magic circle laid out by the formation flag and the formation disk. The energy of the talisman is much smaller.
Judging from the current situation, even if the opponent's practice has not reached the most critical moment, it will be difficult for him to act. He can only use a little bit of spiritual power to drive the formation. When the energy of the formation talisman is exhausted, he can still kill people and obtain treasures.
His expressions were all seen one by one by Lin Xuan with his spiritual consciousness. Lin Xuan made a move, and another talisman appeared in his palm.
This talisman is slightly larger than the ordinary one, with a lifelike bird painted on it.
Beast Talisman!
The mana of a first-level top-grade spiritual beast is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Dzogchen realm of spiritual movement. The sealed Tianxiang Bird here failed to advance and is even more powerful. It should be no problem to destroy this guy with ulterior motives.
Lin Xuan poured mana into the talisman.
Accompanied by a clear cry, the beast soul talisman burst out with intense light, and a huge strange bird with three eyes and one claw appeared.
"Go!" Lin Xuan pointed at Tianxiangniao.
At the same time, outside the cave.
Countless red beams of light fell down like raindrops. Tan Ming kept pouring mana into the spiritual weapon, struggling to resist it. Although it was difficult, his expression looked very proud.
The opponent must be guilty of launching such a violent attack and trying to kill him all at once. As long as he survives this round of attacks and uses up the energy of the array talisman, he can break the restriction and rush into the cave to clean up the mess.
Imagining that the monks inside were probably masters in the foundation-building stage, but they were at a critical juncture due to their practice. They could not take action and could only let themselves be slaughtered. Tan Ming felt a malicious pleasure surge in his heart.
"Just hold on for a little longer." Tan Ming said to himself in his heart, sticking out his tongue and licking the corners of his mouth, with a vicious and greedy light radiating from his eyes.
Suddenly, a clear cry reached his ears. The darkness in the sky was broken a little. A huge strange bird with three eyes and one claw rushed towards Tan Ming.
"What is this?" Tan Ming's expression changed drastically when he felt the powerful spiritual energy waves emanating from the strange bird. This pressure and momentum were almost the same as those of the monks in the early stages of foundation building.
Seeing the horrified expression on the other party's face, Lin Xuan sneered and took out a small black flag from his arms. In an instant, there was a fierce wind and dozens of disheveled ghosts poured out from the Hundred Soul Flag.
"Go for it!"
Lin Xuan pointed at the fierce ghosts. In fact, the Yin Yang Bagua array and the Tianxiang Bird were enough to destroy the opponent. However, the energy of the beast talisman was used a little less. After all, the opponent was also in the spiritual stage of perfection. Lin Xuan did not want the beast talisman to lose too much.
So the fierce ghost in the Hundred Soul Banner was also called out.
Listening to the shocked and angry voices of the monks outside, Lin Xuan's expression was calm. With his current level of cultivation and the treasures all over his body, it would not be difficult to kill a monk of the same level.
People die for money, and birds die for food. Once you are greedy, you must have the consciousness of perdition.
Lin Xuan returned his attention to the elixir and took out an Earth Fire Talisman from his arms...
Half an hour later.
Waves of refreshing medicinal fragrance began to waft out of the cave, and a hint of joy appeared on Lin Xuan's face, but it was soon replaced by solemnity.
Now is the critical moment for the elixir to be formed. Don't be careless. After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan sacrificed the blue snow ring and poured spiritual power into it. Soon, a ball of pure white flame appeared in the air.
Innate fire!
Only masters in the foundation-building stage can use it, but with the best spiritual weapon, Lin Xuan can barely use it, but it consumes a lot of mana and cannot last long.
Compared with the fire of earth veins, the innate fire where spiritual power is concentrated is more suitable for alchemy.
Now is the key to the success of the best marrow cleansing pill, so Lin Xuan naturally wants to give it a try.
While outputting spiritual power and releasing the innate fire, he controlled the heat of the elixir. Half an hour later, there was a loud bang, the spiritual energy scattered, and even the lid of the cauldron was blown away.
When this sudden change occurred, Lin Xuan was not worried but overjoyed. He did not care about fatigue, and released a white light from his hand. The light rolled up the cauldron and took it back.
The room was full of fragrance. Looking at the elixir in front of him, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows. The color and fragrance were exactly the same as those recorded in ancient books. Even the surface of the elixir emitted a shining white light, which was said to have heaven-defying powers.
The efficacy of the elixir is indeed extraordinary.
Lin Xuan admired it carefully for a while, then carefully put the marrow cleansing pill and the cauldron away, then sat down cross-legged, holding a crystal stone in each hand to replenish his magic power.
Different from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, using spar as a supplement is extremely fast. In just a quarter of an hour, Lin Xuan's mana has been fully replenished.
The two middle-grade crystals also lost their luster. Lin Xuan smiled slightly and left the cave.
The energy of the Yin-Yang Bagua array has been consumed, and the spirit of Tianxiangniao is not very good. Lin Xuan is a little surprised. It seems that the strength of the uninvited guest is a little stronger than he thought.
But no matter what, he has died, and Tan Ming's body is on the ground.
Lin Xuan stretched out his finger and tapped it gently. Suddenly, a translucent soul floated out of the corpse, looking at the smiling young man with a horrified face: "Fellow Taoist, please be merciful. You misunderstood. I really don't mean any harm!"
"
"Huh, you still want to lie?"
"Please, please let me go. My body has been destroyed and only a lonely soul is left. Please feel pity for me!"
Lin Xuan's expression was indifferent, no matter how much the other party begged, he remained unmoved. It was not that he was cruel, but that he was cutting the grass without eradicating the roots. The spring breeze would bring new growth. If you are kind to your enemies, you would be cruel to yourself.
Lin Xuan didn't want to leave any hidden dangers for the future just because of a single benevolent thought.
He took out the Hundred Soul Banner.
"Magic weapon?"
Yinhun screamed and wanted to escape, but with the Yin Yang Bagua array around him, he was like a fly in a cage.
The ghost mist escaped from the Hundred Soul Banner and rolled up the ghosts...
Black light flashed, and the Yin Qi of the Hundred Soul Banner became stronger. Lin Xuan nodded, adding a monk's soul, the power of the Hundred Soul Banner will increase a little.
Of course Lin Xuan would not take the initiative to kill people, but he did not mind using the enemy's soul to increase the power of the magic weapon.
According to the records of the magic cultivation method, this object is a growth-type magic treasure, which means that as it absorbs more souls, its power will become stronger and stronger.
After cleaning up the mess, Lin Xuan turned around and took a look at the cave. It was not a good place to stay for a long time.
Fortunately, those who came today were low-level cultivators. If they were masters in the foundation-building stage, the consequences would have been disastrous. Although there was no danger, it also sounded the alarm to Lin Xuan. The cultivators practiced martial arts, step by step, and especially could not be disturbed. I thought.
To break through the bottleneck, we need to find a safer place.
"receive!"
Lin Xuan stretched out his finger and soared into the sky. The soul of the monster turned into a fiery red talisman and fell into Lin Xuan's hands. Then he emptied the dead monk's storage bag except for other things.
, Lin Xuan is not short of crystal stones for the time being, but those spiritual weapons, especially the floral cloth with defensive attributes, are exactly what he needs.
Then Lin Xuan sacrificed the flying sword, a brilliant light flashed, and with a loud rumbling sound, the entire mountain peak collapsed and turned into a pile of rubble.
There was no trace of the monks who had practiced here anymore, and Tan Ming's body was also buried. Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction, turned into a ray of blue light, and disappeared in the direction of the horizon.
