Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 125 Impact on Level
When they met again this time, Master Mo Dan and his entourage had changed their appearance again. Now they looked like fierce and ferocious men, which made people afraid to approach them easily.

He has reached the ninth level of Qi training and has devoted his whole life to the study of alchemy. It is normal that his spirit and soul are stronger than those of ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Qi training. After he changed his appearance, ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Qi training could not see through his true appearance.

Except for the Taoist who has established his foundation, at least in the wilderness, ordinary people in the late stage of Qi training should not be able to detect it. This is probably one of the reasons why he sneaked out of the wilderness on behalf of the Zheng family.

After following him for half a day and seeing him coming and going between several major chambers of commerce and seeing that he was in no hurry to leave, Li Ji'an left his mark again and returned.

"Uncle Li, I have made a breakthrough!" Xiao Qiao, who had just entered the hospital and had been practicing Qi for a year, finally brought good news.

Last year, when Xiao Qiao turned fifteen, Li Ji'an took her to have her spirit divined.

The results were somewhat unexpected.

Originally, when Xiao Qiao was twelve years old, Li Ji'an discovered her abnormality and thought that she might be gifted and have good spiritual roots. He could also sense that she had already taken the Yangyuan Pill and had been living in the Immortal City.

But in the end, none of the five types of spiritual roots had more than ten strands of spiritual energy.

However, there is one exception. All five systems have nine strands, and they are all just one step away from the middle grade.

Afterwards, Li Ji'an also struggled with which type of martial arts he should specialize in.

Finally, based on his unique ability to sense the earth's spiritual energy and after consulting his own ideas, he bought him the best martial arts technique that could be bought with spirit stones on the market at that time, an earth-based martial arts technique that was close to the top grade.

But this year's practice has not been satisfactory.

The progress was extremely slow, slower than when he had two spiritual roots in his previous life, even when practicing the lowest-grade skills. He even provided her with high-quality tonic pills in the middle of the process.

"Could he really be a person favored by the gods? And it is a supernatural power that does not help with cultivation, and even has some negative effects?" After carefully sensing the little Jordan Tian and confirming that he had finally broken through the first level of Qi training and was considered a true cultivator, Li Ji'an was thoughtful.

"Well, your spiritual roots are a little lacking in talent, so you need to work harder in your cultivation. It's a bit slow to start practicing Qi after a year, but don't be discouraged. Just do your best. The world of cultivation is a place where miracles can happen.

When you break through to the middle stage of Qi training, you can try to inherit the formation from Grandma You. Li Ji'an told her the truth and then consoled her softly.

Xiao Qiao seemed a little lost.

In fact, during this year, she practiced very diligently and hard, and even had less time to play with Gua Gua and Huo Ling.

It’s not that she has any big ambitions, she’s just worried about becoming a burden to Li Ji’an.

Because of her tragic childhood experiences, and the fact that she lived alone with Grandma You and rarely interacted with outsiders, and Grandma You needed to practice and study formations all the time and had no time to accompany her, she developed an unhealthy personality. It was not until she was entrusted to Li Ji'an at the age of twelve and had Gua Gua as a companion that she became a little more cheerful.

Now, she has only one wish, which is to be able to follow Li Ji'an forever.

"Don't worry too much, just know yourself correctly. I will always be with you." Seeing that she was depressed, Li Ji'an did not put pressure on her and encouraged her again.

No matter it was the deal where Grandma You gave him the inheritance of the formation or the favor of helping him get the Fire Spirit, even during the four years of companionship, Li Ji'an would take care of her like a junior.

It doesn’t matter whether she has achieved anything or not, as long as she can subtly understand the underlying logic of this world, understand her own situation, and then live according to her own ideas. There is no need to be too utilitarian.

Three days later.

That day, Li Ji'an, who was refining medicine in the alchemy room, suddenly felt a powerful demonic power spreading.

He immediately walked out of the alchemy room and saw the rolling waves in the pool in the yard. A half-human-tall Gua Gua was lying in the pool with his back exposed. His originally emerald green skin was constantly changing color.

From green to blue to purple to red... black... yellow... the color becomes lighter and lighter, and finally almost transparent, and then the cycle continues.

"Why are you so impatient?" Li Ji'an frowned slightly, but it was not the time to criticize. He quickly pulled out three forbidden talismans from his storage bag and activated them instantly, trying his best to avoid the fluctuation of spiritual energy here from attracting attention.

Then he poured out several spiritual pills and threw them at Gua Gua to prevent him from failing in his promotion due to insufficient spiritual energy.

Originally, after obtaining the blood pill, he planned to wait for Gua Gua to recuperate for a while, and when he was in the best condition, he would take him to the inner city to rent a cave that was full of spiritual energy and well-arranged for him to go into seclusion and make breakthroughs.

After all, although the cultivation of monsters does not rely entirely on spiritual energy, when they are trying to reach a higher realm, the more abundant the spiritual energy is, the better the effect of blood transformation will be, and it will be easier to survive after the attempt fails.

Gua Gua is a key means of preserving his life after his "rejuvenation" and is very important.

However, he never expected that a spirit beast is still a beast after all, and its mind and character cannot be as healthy as a human. Perhaps it swallowed the blood pill out of its nature after it felt that its condition had reached its peak.

Now that things have come to this, it is useless to think of anything else. Li Ji'an took out several life-saving pills that he had specially refined in the past few days and kept an eye on Gua Gua's condition. If there was any danger, saving his life would be the first priority.

The quack remained motionless, and the color change alone lasted for half a day.

Unfortunately, Li Ji'an has been busy with cultivation, alchemy, and studying talismans in recent years, and has no extra energy to delve into the study of beast taming. He has no idea about the situation of spirit beasts breaking through to the second level, and can't see any clues at this time.

Half a day later, its color finally stopped changing and eventually became the turbid color of the pool. If you don't look closely, it will appear to be in perfect harmony with the water in the pool, as if it were one and the same thing.

"Color-changing frog?"

"Breakthrough to the second level of bloodline mutation talent?" Li Ji'an observed closely and was quite surprised.

If this is true, Gua Gua's ability to hide has now been further enhanced.

Originally, because it devoured too many soul-hosting ants, it had the ability to block the detection of the soul. Now with the talent of changing color, it is becoming more and more difficult to detect.

Li Ji'an was very satisfied with the sudden surprise, which was in line with his philosophy of safety first.

However, after carefully sensing for a moment, he did not detect any significant changes in the demonic power in Gua Gua's body. It seemed that it was only in the initial stage of the impact and had not yet truly completed the transformation.

"Qua~"

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Gua Gua, who was originally relatively calm, suddenly burst out with two blood auras of different attributes.

Guagua was instantly torn apart by two forces, rolling in the pool in great pain.

Li Ji'an scanned with his spiritual sense and confirmed that it was an earth-attributed aura and a water-attributed aura.

"That blood pill has started to take effect?" He didn't understand why, but he didn't dare to intervene forcibly. He could only continue to observe the changes in its vitality.

Fortunately, although it seems painful, its vitality is becoming more and more vigorous and is still rising.

It was not until an hour later that Li Ji'an keenly sensed that the two forces began to weaken.

"The blood pill's effect has worn off?" As the two auras weakened, Li Ji'an discovered that the demonic power in Gua Gua's body also began to drop sharply from its peak.

At the same time, what worried him was that Gua Gua was losing energy and blood.

"Gua~" With another howl, Guagua's millstone-sized mouth suddenly opened and spit out a pool of dirty black blood.

"Not good!" Li Ji'an's face changed drastically. Without hesitation, he quickly threw the pulse-protecting pill and blood-replenishing pill in his hand into Gua Gua's mouth.

"Hold steady, refine the elixir, don't force a breakthrough, just save your life!"

Just at that moment, when Li Ji'an felt that the two auras of the blood pill were insufficient, Gua Gua actually forced his blood essence to self-ignite and wanted to rush forward, but ended up failing.

Guagua opened his big eyes tiredly a little, looked at Li Ji'an deeply, revealing some reluctance and unwillingness.

"There's something wrong with the blood pill!" Seeing the emotion revealed in Guagua's eyes, Li Ji'an's face darkened for the first time. Although he hadn't studied beast control in depth, having just witnessed Guagua's attack, he had a sudden realization. It was clearly the insufficient bloodline power contained in the blood pill that prevented Guagua from breaking through the first-order barrier!
Gua Gua probably didn't want to let him down, so he forced himself to burn his blood.

"Puff~" The next moment, Gua Gua spat out another mouthful of dirty blood, and his eyes, nose, mouth, and even his whole body began to bleed. In an instant, he looked like a blood frog.

The energy and blood in his body dropped rapidly again.

"A dead frog is being used as a doctor for a living frog!" Li Ji'an dispelled his negative emotions, took a deep breath, took out all the Qi and blood pills in the storage bag, and threw them all into Gua Gua's mouth.

Theoretically, due to the differences between demon beasts and human cultivators, the elixirs are not universal. However, the elixirs for qi, blood and meridians are applicable to a certain extent. The life-saving pills that Li Ji'an has specially refined for Gua Gua in the past few days are also elixirs that protect the meridians from damage and qi and blood from loss when human cultivators fail to break through the realm. They have a certain effect.

But at this moment, Gua Gua was halfway through the attack, and the power of the blood pill was insufficient. He forced the attack, causing his own blood essence to spontaneously combust. Now he was bleeding profusely, and the two blood-replenishing pills were obviously not enough to make up for it.

Fortunately, in order to quickly improve his physical cultivation after "rejuvenation", he has always had the habit of storing Qi and Blood Pills.

There are still hundreds of Qi and Blood Pills in the storage bag that are of no use to him now.

After Gua Gua swallowed so many Qi and Blood Pills, the Qi and Blood he had lost began to slowly increase.

"It works!" Li Jijing concentrated and sensed it.

"Uncle Li, quack..." Xiao Qiao and Huo Ling had been staring at the quack in the pool. At this moment, they were in tears and their voices were choked.

The fire spirit stared at Gua Gua, and the flames on its body were shaking constantly.

Li Ji'an shook his head solemnly, unable to give them any assurances for the time being.

Xiao Qiao suddenly became more nervous, and his body, squatting on the ground, began to tremble slightly.

The three little guys have been together for four years, and their love is very pure.

"Quack~" Suddenly, Gua Gua let out a long howl towards the sky, and the blood in his mouth churned.

A stream of blood and energy that was almost tangible was transformed from hundreds of Qi and Blood Pills.

Such a large amount of Qi and blood immediately stabilized the downward trend of Gua Gua's Qi and blood, but now it is facing a crisis again.

Qi and blood pills contain qi and blood, but they need to be refined by the body before they can be absorbed. At this moment, too many qi and blood pills exploded at once, and Gua Gua found it difficult to refine them quickly.

If he cannot quickly refine it for his own use, it is likely to spread throughout the world, and ultimately he will not be able to replenish his lost energy and blood, and will be powerless to recover.

"Swoosh~" Just as Li Ji'an was thinking quickly about whether he could help Guagua refine his qi and blood quickly, the little fire spirit under his feet suddenly shot towards Guagua's mouth.

"Fire spirit?"

I saw the little fire spirit rush into Gua Gua's mouth, and the power of the fire spirit burst out in an instant. The surging blood and energy that were eager to rush out of Gua Gua's mouth were instantly refined by the power of the fire spirit, and its power was reduced bit by bit.

"Okay!" Li Ji'an was very surprised.

As a natural spiritual flame, the little fire spirit has supernatural powers in the process of refining. Joining the game at this critical moment is indeed the best way.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, most of the vast energy and blood were refined, and Gua Gua's energy and blood were quickly replenished.

After another half an hour, Gua Gua's energy and blood were almost restored.

Covered in blood, Gua Gua opened his eyes again, with gratitude, joy, and... unwillingness in his eyes!
Suddenly, Gua Gua's blood surged again.

This guy is actually going to burn his blood and essence to force an attack again.

"Don't be so stubborn!" Li Ji'an's face changed instantly and he hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

However, this stubborn guy was determined and ignored Li Ji'an, and his anger started to burn again.

In an instant, the evil spirit filled the air again, and Gua Gua held his head high and attacked with all his might.

once.

twice.

……

With the fire spirit continuously refining its qi and blood, this time its qi and blood rise more steadily and faster.

however,
Although he became stronger each time, his bloodline was too low and he still could not reach the second level.

Li Ji'an clearly sensed that his lifeblood essence had been forcibly condensing into a demon core, but it was always one step short.

"Gua~" Until the hundred Qi and Blood Pills were about to be refined, Gua Gua had no idea how many times he had attacked.

This time, it was its last attack.

If it doesn't work again, either give up or die!
Li Ji'an was fully prepared with all his magical powers. If this didn't work, he would subdue him by force.

"Boom~" For the last time, Guagua's energy and blood reached the extreme.

The prototype of the demon core has already appeared faintly.

Once the demon core is successfully condensed, the blood will surge, the demonic energy will soar, and it will enter the ranks of the second-level demon beast.

"Qua~"

With the last frog call, the prototype of the demon core that had reached the critical point did not take shape after all. It quickly dissipated like a deflated balloon.

He opened his eyes, filled with tears of blood, desperate and helpless.

"Quagua! Don't give up! I'm here to help you." Just as Li Ji'an was about to take action to avoid Guagua's desperate attack, Xiao Qiao beside him suddenly pressed his hands on the ground, and a breath of energy rushed towards the earth.

"..." Li Ji'an paused and looked at Xiao Qiao in surprise.

The next moment, Li Ji'an keenly felt that a vast force was gathering on the ground beneath his feet, and then began to converge towards Gua Gua.

"This is..." After all, he knew too little about the world of cultivation. Li Ji'an could not understand Xiao Qiao's behavior at all, and he did not understand the purpose of this sudden power of the earth.

However, he clearly felt that after this power of the earth poured into Gua Gua's body, the prototype of the demon core that had begun to dissipate condensed again, even faster and more solid than the previous peak impact.

In just three breaths, a blood-red demon core took shape in Guagua's body.

As the demon core took shape, a powerful demonic power instantly burst out.

Li Ji'an was both surprised and delighted. The demonic power that erupted at this moment was even more powerful and domineering than the foundation-building power he sensed from Yan Qingwan.

"Quack~" The next moment, the demonic power quickly gathered and was finally all hidden in the Guagua demon core, leaving no trace of it.

"Bang." At the same time, Xiao Qiao seemed to have exhausted all his strength and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the quack opened its mouth, and the little fire spirit's breath weakened by seven points. It flew out of the quack's mouth staggeringly, and couldn't wait to drill into Li Ji'an's dantian for cultivation.
