In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Half a year later, in the Starry Sky Palace, there was an empty hall more than twenty feet long and wide.

Eight monks, seven men and one woman, and a monk from Tianxing Palace in white were talking about something.

Behind them, there are many teleportation arrays of the same size arranged in several rows.

Of these eight monks, five of them are in the Dan-Jie stage, and the three who are not in the Dan-Jie stage are also in the middle or late stages of Foundation building.

"It costs seven hundred spirit stones to teleport one person, and it costs seven hundred spirit stones to teleport several people, but you can only teleport up to seven people at a time." The monk in white said coldly.

Because the eight people had different purposes, they had been discussing with each other, and they all wanted to gather more people to share the burden of the spiritual stones.

"The three of us will go to Ningcui Island." Lu Yuan saw that everyone had not come to a unified opinion for a long time, so he waved his hand and threw out seven intermediate spirit stones. It took almost a day, and Lu Yuan really lost his patience. .

The other people who were still discussing were stunned for a moment, and soon someone's eyes lit up at Lu Yuan's generosity, and hehe said:

"What a coincidence! I also plan to go to Ningcui Island. It happens to be all the way!"

"Yep!"

"Fellow Taoist's generosity makes us admire him."

Han Li's expression did not change when he saw this, and he sneered inwardly.

But Lu Yuan on the side was different. He directly expressed that he liked to be quiet and didn't want to be with others.

"Why do fellow Taoists refuse people thousands of miles away? Why don't we take care of them together? There are countless high-level monsters in the outer star sea. It is not impossible for everyone to join forces without guaranteeing safety, even to hunt down the sixth-level monsters. ." A charming woman in her thirties suddenly said with a sweet smile.

"I heard that in the outer star sea, you should not only be careful of high-level monsters, but also be careful of sneak attacks by scum and evil cultivators." Lu Yuan glanced at the woman.

"What do you mean, fellow Taoist!" An old man with a ruddy complexion and a kind-hearted look seemed to be in the same group with the woman. Seeing that his companion was frustrated, his tone became unkind.

"It means, get out!" As the last word came out, Lu Yuan's cultivation suddenly exploded, and a direct momentum pressed directly on the old man.

Although the old man also had alchemy cultivation, he was obviously no match for Lu Yuan, and was suppressed without any strength to resist.

The previously alluring woman and another middle-aged man were about to step forward when they saw this, but soon a wave stronger than Lu Yuan broke out.

Zhang Tie directly held out a big yellow flag in his hand. As the flag was waving, the khaki light on the tip of the flag flickered, as if he was ready to start fighting at any time.

"Stop! This is the Starry Sky Palace. Anyone who dares to be presumptuous will be severely punished by the Starry Palace!" The white-clothed monk in charge of the teleportation array shouted angrily.

"Hmph! We don't want to cause trouble, but if you are dissatisfied or interested, just come with us!" Lu Yuan glared at the old man, then motioned to Zhang Tie to stop, and the three of them stepped into the teleportation array.

The monk in white didn't want to be too troublesome, so he gave each of Lu Yuan and the other three people a "Teleportation Talisman" and stuck it on their bodies.

Then several spiritual stones embedded around the teleportation array emitted a dazzling white light. After a flash, the three figures on the teleportation array were missing.

"Do you want to follow?" The monk in white looked at the three old men.

"No, no, the three of us don't have enough spiritual stones, so I'd better invite some more comrades to join us." The old man smiled awkwardly and winked at his comrades.

"The cultivation of these two people is probably higher than mine, so they are not easy to mess with!"

The expressions of the beautiful woman and the middle-aged man changed. It has been more than a hundred years since the old man entered the core formation stage. Although he has not gone any further, his strength is very important. Even if they work together, they may not be able to say that they can definitely defeat the old man.

Those two people have such cultivation at such a young age, and their identities may have a lot of background.

......

After arriving at the outer star sea, Lu Yuan accompanied Han Li to do some shopping on Ningcui, and then flew out of the island towards the depths of the endless sea.

a few days later.

"Coral Island! This is the nearest coral island, let's stay here!"

After confirming that there were indeed no other monks or monsters near the coral island, the three of them slowly landed on the island.

Three large formations including the "Inverted Five Elements Formation", "Heavenly Wind Crazy Formation" and "Transforming Heavenly Luo Formation" were initially laid out.

"Okay, you can slowly ripen the neon grass here and let the monster beast play. We will wander around here within a few hundred miles. If you need anything, call us!" After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he called Zhang Tie and released the iron rhinoceros beast. Drilled into the bottom of the sea.

About half a month later, a weak spiritual vein was found deep in the seabed.

In this way, Han Li began to use neon grass to lure monsters into the battle. Then with the help of puppets, there is basically no problem facing monsters that are mostly around level 5. As the skills become more proficient, it becomes easier and easier to deal with them.

If you encounter someone at level six, trap them with three large formations, and then call Lu Yuan and the others for help.

After five years of this, the three of them killed hundreds of level five monsters, and more than a dozen level six monsters. There are even some strange monsters that have never been heard of in the world of immortality. This puts Lu Yuan and others in the line of life and death several times when they encounter them for the first time.

Although they had the help of the late-level six iron rhino beast and Zhang Tie's formation, all three of them had experienced injuries.

The most seriously injured among them was Lu Yuan, because he had practiced the Demonic Skill and needed to test his physical strength in actual combat. So every time he hunted a powerful monster, he had to rush to the front with the Iron Rhinoceros.

So one time when he faced a strange monster, Lu Yuan was seriously injured because he misjudged the monster's power and ended up in a head-on confrontation.

The seriousness of the injury not only caused Lu Yuan's state to regress back to the early stage of pill formation, but also the physical body created by the previous practice of Tuotian Demon Technique was almost destroyed and had to be rebuilt from scratch.

However, every loss must have its gain. After God Lord Dayan's calculations, they followed the trajectory of the monster and found a small spiritual mine under the sea.

This made Lu Yuan extremely happy. This was the first time they had discovered a masterless spiritual mine since they came to the Sea of ​​Stars.

But at this moment, after years of consumption by Han Li, not only had nine out of ten puppets been lost, only about twenty or thirty were left, but even the formation equipment was exploding by several fierce-tempered monsters. Most were destroyed and mutilated.

Since Zhang Tie had the Innate Five Elements Flag, he rarely refined formation disks or anything else.

Without the assistance of large formations and puppets, Han Li hunting monsters by himself would be the same as seeking death.

Coupled with the amazing gains in the past five years, in addition to hundreds of fifth-level demon pills, Han Li also obtained countless rare demon beast materials. With these things, Han Li was enough to support Han Li in sprinting and forming pills.

The three of them discussed it and decided that since Lu Yuan was still recovering from his serious injury, Zhang Tie sent Han Li back to the cave in Tianxing City first.

A few months later, Zhang Tie returned to the outer star sea and set up the 'Tiangong Spirit Transformation Array' in the spiritual mine. And based on this, he drove the innate five-element flag to set up a 'blue water covering the sky formation' in the sea.

Zhang Tie used the Southern Flood Flag among the Five Elements Flags as the main layout for this formation, covering a radius of more than a hundred miles centered on Ling Mine.

"I can guarantee this formation. Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator comes, he won't be able to see through it, let alone break the formation." Zhang Tie said proudly, patting his chest.

"That's good, I'm going to stay in seclusion here for a hundred years." Lu Yuan sighed, looking helpless.

"Why does it take so long? Didn't Senior Dayan say that in this spiritual mine, your injuries can be healed in up to five years, and then in up to ten years, you can return to your original cultivation level."

"Could it be that your injury has worsened?" Zhang Tie asked with concern.

"It's my own fault that the injury didn't get worse." Lu Yuan explained later.

Dacheng's Heaven-Entrusting Demonic Skill requires nine times of tempering the physical body, which is called the 'nine-turn golden body'. Each realm can be tempered three times until the Nascent Soul can be condensed after nine turns in the late stage of elixir formation.

When Lu Yuan first obtained the Demonic Power, he did not choose the Nine Transformations Golden Body at first because he felt that the Chaotic Star Sea was too barren and had a great desire for the realm.

So he chose to practice it once to save trouble. This is also the reason why he was able to practice the Tuotian Demon Skill to the peak of the early stage of pill formation in just a few years.

But this also hid a hidden danger, that is, his physical body was not strong enough, so he was severely injured by the monster.

"Refining nine times is equivalent to practicing the entire elixir formation period three times!" Zhang Tie said in surprise.

"That's right, but there are benefits to this. That Man Beard has been shaking the sea of ​​stars for hundreds of years with his nine-turn golden body. I have the help of Ten Thousand Dao Gold Transformation Techniques. As long as I have spiritual veins for me to absorb, I can definitely afford it in terms of time. . And the most important thing is, after nine rounds of this Heaven-supporting Demonic Skill, I can condense the Nascent Soul without any bottleneck."

"No bottleneck to condense the Nascent Soul!" Zhang Tie's mouth widened in surprise. If he hadn't continued to practice Jin Yuan Gong after forming the elixir, and couldn't change the technique, he would have wanted to practice the Heaven-supporting Demon Gong.

"I have decided that if I don't practice to the third level this time, I won't be able to escape."

"Well, I will also take this opportunity to attack the middle stage of the formation of pills!" Zhang Tie nodded, activated the 'Blue Water Covering the Sky Formation', and then put the Iron Rhinoceros Beast into the formation to frighten nearby people who might accidentally enter the formation. The monsters of law.

.......

Ten years passed by in a flash, and there was no movement in this seabed.

Twenty years have passed, and a wave of fluctuations came from the depths of the sea. After twenty years of infusion, Zhang Tie's cultivation has reached the middle stage of pill formation.

He first inspected the area within a hundred miles, and after making sure there were no accidents, he returned to the formation.

Then a magic formula was played, and five formation flags with a height of one hundred feet suddenly appeared in the seabed. Zhang Tie ducked to the 'flood flag' and began to concentrate on refining the formation flags.

So nearly forty years have passed...

One day, a ball of fire suddenly floated out of the secret room where Lu Yuan was retreating and flew in front of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie frowned after reading the contents in the fire, but seeing that Lu Yuan didn't show any signs of leaving, he could only nod.

He walked out of the underwater cave and removed the 'Blue Water Covering the Sky Formation'. Then place the Southern Fire Flag, the Central Thick Earth Flag, the Western Sharp Gold Flag, the Eastern Giant Wood Flag, and the four pole array flags into the seabed.

In the blink of an eye, the seabed shook, and low mountains of a hundred feet rose up. Surrounded by mountains, iron rhinoceros beasts shuttled back and forth...

After doing this, Zhang Tie put away the northern flood flag and flew towards Ningcui Island.

......

More than twenty years passed like this, and one day, two people flew over the sea from a distance.

"Brother Zhang, is this right here?" Han Li asked, looking at the calm sea.

"Well, I don't know what happened to my senior brother. Logically speaking, the third transformation should have been successful." After Zhang Tie said that, he took out the flood flag and pointed towards the sea. Suddenly, a black hole about several feet wide and bottomless appeared on the sea. .

In the spiritual mine deep under the sea, Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, took out an alms bowl magic weapon from the storage bag, and then his hands emitted a dazzling golden light, covered with golden scales, and he began to pull hard on the alms bowl. .

This was obtained by killing the Fu family monk in Yuanwu Kingdom. After some destruction by Lu Yuan, the shape of the alms bowl became even more serious.

"I thought I could tear it apart, but it seems that the physical body is still weak. This place is not good..." Lu Yuan shook his head and stood up.

The difficulty of practicing the Tuotian Demonic Kung Fu was beyond his imagination. After more than eighty years of seclusion, he had only completed two of the first three turns of the Tuotian Demonic Kung Fu. Lu Yuan had been trying for the third turn for more than ten years but failed.

No wonder only Man Beard has been able to make it over the years. I really don’t know what chance this guy has.

Lu Yuan punched the wall of the spiritual mineral stone and took out several fist-sized cyan stones. The spirit energy inside them had long been gone and turned into white stones.

Then he changed several positions in succession, and it was still the same.

You must find another place with strong spiritual energy, otherwise you will not be able to break through the third level and reach the middle stage of pill formation within a few decades just by practicing hard.

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, and then stood quietly on the spot. He already felt someone entering the large formation above the spirit mine, but the Iron Rhinoceros didn't stop him, which was enough to explain the identity of the person.

Not long after, Han Li and Zhang Tie appeared in the spiritual mine.

As Lu Yuan expected, after so many years, Han Li had already successfully formed the elixir, and also refined the magic weapon Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

When he heard that Han Li and Zhang Tie had become guest elders of the Miaoyin Sect, Lu Yuan couldn't help but gossip and secretly pulled Zhang Tie aside.

"Have you met the first lady in Luan Xinghai?"

"What does it look like?"

"Did the black boy come up as a licker?"

"Did you find two female disciples to be concubines or something?"

......

A series of questions made Zhang Tie a little confused. He claimed that he entered the Miaoyin Sect just to collect materials for Lu Yuan to refine the 'Wan Ren Pan', and he never thought about anything else.

As for the Purple Spirit Fairy, she just looks like that. Not to mention someone as picky as Han Li, even Zhang Tie himself didn't like her.

What was even more unfortunate was that he and Han Li got into trouble with the Jiyin Patriarch because of a batch of goods from the Miaoyin Sect. They had to run fast, otherwise they would have been captured and refined into the Tiandu Demon Corpse.

Fortunately, they both used false names in the Miaoyin Sect. Otherwise, if the Jiyin Patriarch knew Han Li's identity, it would be absolutely impossible for them to escape.

Lu Yuan quickly asked about this matter carefully. When he learned that Han Li really released the blood jade spider in that battle, he couldn't help but shake his head.

In the original work, the blood jade spider is one of the best spiritual beasts to obtain the Xutian Cauldron, and its chance of success is far higher than the fire python of Jiyin Patriarch and Wan Tianming's golden silkworm.

Based on the temperament of Patriarch Jiyin, knowing that Han Li had the Blood Jade Spider to obtain the Xutian Cauldron, he must have been eyeing the two of them.
