Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Daze, southwest corner.

Thousands of feet under the water, there was a dead silence. As time went by, the darkness continued to spread, getting heavier and heavier, and more and more oppressive.

Suddenly, a group of swimming fish swam across the bottom of the water. Their colors were intertwined and illuminated by the residual light. Faintly, a flying boat that no one had seen was illuminated. The fine scraps of talisman paper on the side of the boat fell from time to time and fell into the underground river below, with a sharp color falling in all directions.

A handsome young man stood on the bow of the boat. He was draped in gold and embroidered with patterns of the sun and the moon. On top of the door, a sword pill was constantly swimming around, pulling out brilliant sword energy, containing unstoppable power. sharp.

The young man stared at the scraps of talisman paper, motionless, standing like a sculpture, his whole body was filled with the continuous movement of the power of the elixir in his body.

I don't know when, the young man's eyes suddenly moved. The sword pill on his top door suddenly stood up and stopped on it. A circle of sword wheel halo spread out, as clear as a mirror, shining out of the dark river. I don't know when, from the boat, A bit of falling debris was stained with a touch of bright red,

This bright red is not the beauty of the rouge color that is quietly developed in the waves, nor is it the joy of the autumn colors on the red leaves in the forest, but a kind of monster that strikes people's eyebrows. It looks thrilling, and it seems that blood will bloom anytime and anywhere. Devour all.

Before he could make a move, footsteps sounded from inside the flying boat, and a heroic woman walked out. With her hair tied in a bun like a high ponytail, light makeup, and bright eyes, she came to the head of the boat, stood side by side with the young man, and said, "Brother Hou, there are mutated monsters here!"

"It's true." Hou Shenrong's eyes were reflected by the clear light of the sword pill on the top door, glowing with a kind of darkness. He felt the bright red on the debris spread rapidly, his expression changed, and he said: "And this time we found A great guy."

"yes."

Li Xiao, a female cultivator from the Li family in Huijia, had bright eyes, nodded vigorously, and had a pretty face.

Judging from the feedback on the scraps of talisman paper, the nearby monster probably received a lot of blood from the old monster.

If this demon itself is not weak, it will probably be quite powerful if it digests this much old demon blood.

However, Li Xiao was not afraid. Instead, he raised his slender eyebrows and said with a sharp look: "We just sent people from Doulei Academy and we found such a secret cave for monsters. It's really good."

Hou Shenrong glanced at his companion and smiled, understanding what he meant.

Nanchuan Daze was in trouble because of the old demon's counterattack before leaving, and the sect had to intervene. They also know that this is a wise move, but they feel unhappy when they think that all the benefits of Nanchuan Daze should be taken by the family themselves, and now they need to give away part of it.

Therefore, when the children of the aristocratic families in Nanchuan Daze heard that the people from Douleiyuan had arrived in Nanchuan Daze, they all held their breath and became cruel. They must work hard and steadily defeat Douleiyuan in terms of "records". people.

And there is no doubt that if we can successfully capture and kill the "mutated" monster hidden in this dark river, it will definitely be a big achievement.

Li Xiao wanted to make a big move when the people from Douleiyuan first arrived to show off the power of the family. He also had the same idea!

So the two of them stood side by side at the bow of the boat, both determined to find and kill the "mutated" monster hiding in this dark river.

However, a quarter of an hour passed and the flying boat continued to sink. The expressions of Hou Shenrong and Li Xiao gradually changed. The original excitement and joy gradually disappeared and were replaced by shock.

Because the crimson color on the debris scattered from the flying boat is spreading at an alarming speed, the scope is getting wider and wider, and it is becoming more and more strange. The bloody evil aura that hits the face covers everything, and just one look at it will give people nightmares. .

Even though they were in the flying boat, protected by the flying boat's forbidden array, the two of them still felt that the light in the boat was gradually fading, and they seemed to be in a deep underwater cave, being trapped. Wrapped in a deep darkness, his mouth and nose were filled with the smell of blood, and even his body became stiff, as if he was about to sink.

When the two of them were getting more and more uncomfortable, the sword pill on Hou Shenrong's door suddenly shook, letting out a clear sword cry, and the sword energy visible to the naked eye rippled and clanked, temporarily dispelling the demonic power that had penetrated the flying boat.

"Let's go!"

Hou Shenrong's color changed completely. He no longer cared about looking for the "mutated" monster. Instead, he used the power of Dansha to control the flying boat and lift it upwards, trying to break out of the underground river and reach the sky above Daze.

"Walk!"

Li Xiaoyu's face was ice-cold. On the top of her head, seal characters of different sizes appeared. They were colorful and auspicious. Under her control, they continued to penetrate into the flying boat, increasing the speed of the flying boat.

The two of them did this because they discovered that the "mutated" monster they found was more powerful than they imagined. If they met it, they would not strangle each other, but be strangled by the other side.

Even more extreme, if they can find the other party, it is likely that the other party does it deliberately, giving them a "fishing" and counter-strangling.

"Careless."

Hou Shenrong and Li Xiao found that even if they tried their best to control the flying boat, the flying boat seemed to be stuck in a swamp, struggling to move forward. They couldn't help but look at each other with very ugly expressions.

They thought that Nanchuan Daze had been basically pacified, even if the last old demon's method was just to make Nanchuan Daze their testing ground.

They can use various means to find "mutated" monsters in such a trial ground and hunt them down. Even if there are dangers, only ordinary disciples will be injured, and the long-term Danhua monks are completely worry-free.

However, the "mutated" monsters in Nanchuan Lake are more terrible than imagined. The children of the noble families try every means to find them, but they dare to set up ambushes and hunt the children of the noble families staying in Nanchuan Lake.

"You react now? It's too late!"

Before the flying boat left the dark river, a cold voice came from below, carrying a sinister and tough voice, and a deep voice. Just hearing it in the ears, it makes people's qi fluctuate, as if falling into a poison cave, and feel uncomfortable all over.

Hou Shenrong and Li Xiao were shocked. They looked at the sound at the same time and found that, at some point, a monster was standing in the air outside the flying boat. He was very tall, wearing a bone crown, a blood-colored long robe, a cold face, and a circle of halos behind him, as if there was a multi-headed snake lurking, ready to bite people.

Hou Shenrong only took a look, and on the top of the sword ball, black air appeared, constantly corroding, but his sword ball was made by the great monks of the clan, and it was difficult for evil spirits to penetrate, so it would not be polluted for a while.

"Such a monster,"

But Hou Shenrong felt heavy in his heart. Not only was the other party's realm higher than his, but there was also a mysterious monster. Today was not a good day.

"Two Danhua monks, children of aristocratic families."

Yu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the two people in the flying boat, his face was cold, but the monster in his eyes became more and more intense.

If he faced such two people in the past, he could only win the battle at most, but now after swallowing some of the essence and blood of that person, and then in his own territory, the other party could not escape once he came in.

"I'm just going to use your essence to refine my magical power."

Yu Yuan smiled grimly, shook his body, pointed his finger, and the forbidden magic array on the flying boat silently cracked a gap. Strands of black and green air seemed to appear out of thin air, and the incredibly strong poison emanated, corroding the surroundings into large holes visible to the naked eye, which was shocking.

As soon as the black and green air appeared, it continued to devour the energy from all directions, and the poison it carried immediately spread out. Wherever it touched, even the side of the boat became cracked and wrinkled, which looked very scary.

"Duh."

Hou Shenrong and Li Xiao saw this, their eyes shrank, and at the same time they performed mysterious skills to resist the poison that was coming towards them.

"Ridiculous!"

Yu Yuan, the great demon, sneered, stretched out a hand, and grabbed it in the air. The poison that had originally flowed into the flying boat was like being poured on the fire. With a rumble, it enveloped the surroundings, and the black and green air immediately filled the entire flying boat.

Under such a poisonous erosion, no matter whether it was the sword energy that crisscrossed back and forth or the mysterious light that was as graceful as the crescent moon, they were all corroded and could not be stopped.

After an unknown period of time, Yu Yuan appeared again with a slight sound. He stood on the bow of the flying boat that had been corroded and pitted. Hou Shenrong and Li Xiao, two children of the noble families in the Danhua realm, disappeared.

Only the halo behind Yu Yuan was left. The phantom of the multi-headed snake seemed to expand a circle and turned into a giant python. The patterns on the snake became more and more complicated.

"Two."

Yu Yuan laughed in a low voice, waved his sleeves, and the water outside flooded in and submerged his body.

This dark river soon returned to calm, as dead and silent as before.

Under the water, in a dark river, Zhou Xibai led a team of dark guards to form an encirclement and stare at a water monster inside.

The water monster was eight feet tall, with bronze skin and a delicate poisonous snake on its particularly large ears, spitting out its tongue and making a hissing sound. The demonic energy on his body was raging, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to escape.

But every time he made a move, a silver-white halo naturally appeared under the feet of Zhou Xibai and others. In which direction the water monster rushed, the halo under the feet of the dark guards blocking him in front of him became brighter than ever before, conveying stronger power.

So every time the water monster broke through, it returned in vain, and was hit from behind, and the injuries on the monster's body became more and more serious.

Zhou Qing stood on one side, his body filled with a deep and cold water light. After he found this "mutated" water monster, he handed it over to Zhou Xibai and others. He seemed to be watching, but in fact he was realizing the changes and progress of his spiritual consciousness.

Calculating the time, it has been nearly two months since he took the flying palace of Dou Leiyuan to Nanchuan Daze. In these two months, including this one, he has dealt with five "mutated" monsters.

Of these five "mutated" monsters, two of them sensed the aura of Zhou Qing and others, and jumped out on their own initiative, wanting to devour their essence. The remaining three were found out one by one by Zhou Qing through his own means.

By dealing with these five "mutated" monsters, Zhou Qing has a preliminary judgment.

If the monsters themselves have a weak foundation, they cannot digest the blood of the old monsters for a while, which affects their minds, so they are very likely to be manic and arrogant, thinking that they are invincible. Such monsters do not need to be found. Once they sense the aura of the cultivators, they will jump out on their own initiative, wanting to use their "supreme magical powers" to devour the cultivators' essence and feed back to the monster body.

If the monster itself has a solid foundation and a high level of cultivation, after obtaining the old monster's blood, it will not be affected by the powerful power in the blood, but will use it as its best resource to purify its blood and transform. Such monsters usually hide in the dark river caves under the water of Nanchuan Lake, practice in seclusion, and strive to digest the old monster's blood thoroughly, so that they can "turn from carp into dragon".

Such "mutated" monsters need to be found as quickly as possible and killed. Because every night, they become stronger and will cause bad changes.

Among the five that Zhou Qing dealt with, except for the two that jumped out by themselves, the other three were of this type. He spent a lot of effort to "dig" them out.

For Zhou Qing, after entering Nanchuan Lake, the most difficult thing to deal with "mutated" monsters is to find "mutated" monsters.

The second type of "mutated" monsters are not weak in themselves. After obtaining the old monster's blood, they have transformed and become stronger. Moreover, they are more familiar with the terrain of the swamp than the cultivators. If they really hide, it will be very difficult to find them.

Zhou Qing was able to actively find three "mutated" monsters in a short period of time, which is a very rare achievement.

Such a result is mainly due to the magic of the real skill "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Map" of the Biyou Palace that he practiced. The effect of this supreme mysterious skill in the water world is so strong that it is definitely not comparable to ordinary mysterious skills.

Some "mutated" monsters hide very deep and restrain their qi. Even if other cultivators scan them with their spiritual sense, they may not be found if they only scan them once. But for Zhou Qing, who practiced "Purple and Green High Saint Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Map", he can find them whenever the opponent appears within a range close to his spiritual sense.

It's just that the use of spiritual sense is not simple, but it requires certain skills in the process, and the consumption is greater than usual.

Zhou Qing didn't care about such consumption. Instead, he was happy because searching for "mutated" monsters in such a complex underwater environment like looking for a needle in a haystack could stimulate his potential and was a rare tempering for his consciousness.

In the past two months, compared with when he was just promoted to the third level of Danhua, his consciousness has made great progress. Maybe the improvement in strength is not particularly fast, but in terms of induction, sensitivity, and change, it can be said to be a leap forward.

The cultivation of the third level of Danhua can't just be closed, but requires continuous use of consciousness, while using it, while improving.
