Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 119 Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Foundation Building
In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month.

At noon that day, several disciples from the Miscellaneous Service Peak came with red lanterns in their hands, decorating the entire Cuiwei Valley with a flourish of red.

During his break in practice, Xiao Chen heard some noise outside and came out to take a look.

The three errand disciples immediately greeted him in unison: "Greetings, Manager Xiao."

"Is it the Lunar New Year again? This year has passed so quickly."

Xiao Chen sighed, but unfortunately no one responded.

Among the three was a female disciple wearing a red dress.

It suddenly reminded him of last year at Bishui Peak when Shen Siyue asked him to hang lanterns together.

Will she continue to hang red lanterns all over the mountain with her own hands this year?
"Bring me six lanterns."

Xiao Chen took the initiative to ask for the lantern, jumped onto the roof, and tied it under the eaves with a bit of unfamiliarity, hoping for good luck.

Then he walked a little further away, took a look, and shook his head: "This year's lanterns are not as beautiful as last year's."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Qi-nourishing Pills and said, "Forget it, I'd better go back to practice. I'll trouble you to take care of the decorations in the valley. This bottle of pills is a thank you gift."

The three disciples immediately bowed in surprise and thanked him: "Thank you, Manager Xiao."

Only after he entered did one of them look at the lantern in his hand curiously: "Strange, aren't the lanterns used this year and last year the same style?"

Another disciple rolled his eyes at him and said, "You don't understand this."

“Everything is more beautiful when you see it for the first time.”

"I saw this style of lantern last year, but when I saw it again this year, it certainly felt much different."

……

The Lihuo Gate is already preparing for the New Year.

On the other hand, in the mountains in the north, a large group of people were working overtime and rushing to do the work.

The leader came back exhausted.

He immediately gathered everyone and asked, "Has the Blood Plague Secret Realm been opened? How long will it take?"

Another person replied, "We've found a way to open it. In a month at most, we'll be able to secure the exit with a talisman array."

"This speed is too slow!"

The leader was very dissatisfied with this: "Speed ​​up a bit, to leave time for the spread of the blood plague later."

"The New Year is coming soon. This is the time when the defenses at Lihuomen are the most relaxed, and it will also be the easiest for us to capture the sacrifice."

"Once the Chinese New Year is over, there will be no such good opportunity."

The subordinate immediately responded: "Understood, we will definitely speed up the deployment."

Another subordinate asked, "Boss, there's news that a demon-slaying temple has recently been established in Lihuomen."

"We are keeping a close eye on all the clues. Should we proceed with our arrest plan as originally planned?"

The leader waved his hand nonchalantly: "This is not something you need to worry about. I will naturally arrange for someone to handle it."

Of course he had already considered this.

I went out again without any hesitation just to deal with this so-called Demon-Exorcism Temple.

Now he has bribed two local foundation-building monks to help block the investigation of the Demon-Slaying Hall.

As long as we can delay long enough, there will be no threat.

After arranging the division of labor, the leader came to the mountain alone.

One person thought about their plan this time.

"As long as we can successfully capture enough monks and use their blood essence to release the blood plague demon, we can secretly spread the blood plague in Lizhou."

"If everything goes well, I can take the first place in the conquest of Lizhou. After returning, I can exchange it for a third-level blood pill."

"With the help of the blood pill, I can also refine the golden pill."

He raised his head and looked beyond the mountains.

That was the location of the fire exit closest to them.

Thinking of Lihuomen, he was filled with anger.

They had originally set out early, intending to rush here to search for the location of the Blood Plague Secret Realm. However, for some unknown reason, the Lihuo Sect suddenly went crazy, sending out many Foundation Establishment cultivators to sweep the entire territory to eliminate the demonic cultivators.

Many of their newly recruited subordinates were completely cleared out.

If they hadn't run fast, they might have been caught by now.

And then, for two months.

The cleaning action of the fire door not only did not stop at all, but became more and more intense.

Judging from the posture, it seems that they will not stop until they dig three feet into the ground and uproot all the evil cultivators.

In desperation, he took the rest of the group and made a long detour, entering the northern mountains directly from the Sihai Sect, and then crossing the mountains and ridges to come here.

As a result, they went through many hardships and avoided being hunted by various monsters.

I even got lost at one point, but finally arrived at the right place with great difficulty.

But suddenly they heard that the Lihuo Sect stopped its raids just two days after they entered the mountain.

In other words, instead of going through the mountains with great difficulty, they might as well wait for two more days and then leave the Huomen territory smoothly.

Easy and fast.

"You damn idiots from the Lihuo Sect, when the blood plague demon comes out, I will be the first to kill you."

His idea has some possibility of success.

The essence of the blood plague demon is actually a special kind of flesh and blood puppet.

As long as it can spread the blood plague, devour flesh and blood, and absorb enough power, it can quickly grow from the great perfection of foundation building to the great perfection of golden elixir.

Moreover, the extra blood and flesh can be stored in its body and become a tonic to treat its injuries.

A complete blood plague demon requires at least three late Jindan masters to work together to defeat it.

Based on the information held by the Divine Fire Sect.

Not only are there only three Jindan Zhenren in the Lihuo Sect, but the most powerful one is not in Lizhou.

Of the remaining two, one is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and has been in seclusion for many years. He probably won't come out unless it is absolutely necessary.

Although the other one is more active, he is only in the early stage of Jindan.

As long as we can't arrive in time to stop the blood plague demon.

Once the blood plague demon develops a little, he alone will be unable to save the situation.

From then on, all the cultivators in the Lihuo Sect became walking blood eaters.

Of course, the Divine Fire Cult did not expect that it could rely on a blood plague demon to wreak havoc in Lizhou.

However, as long as the situation of the three sects in Lizhou being in a three-way balance of power is broken and chaos is created, they will have no time to take care of Hezhou.

For the Divine Fire Sect, it is enough.

Once Hezhou is encroached upon, Lizhou in the farthest corner will naturally not be able to escape.

……

On New Year's Eve, Xiao Chen was once again invited to the Chen family to celebrate the New Year together.

This time was different from the last time. As soon as I entered the door, I was warmly welcomed and people came to toast me one after another.

Fortunately, after hearing that he had already established his foundation, those who tried to act as matchmakers fell silent.

Such a young foundation-building cultivator would probably marry a member of a large family, so he would not look down on these side branches.

After staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, Xiao Chen went straight back to Cuiwei Valley to concentrate on his cultivation.

The effect of the Five-Colored Mysterious Water is even better than expected.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Chen felt that he had reached a bottleneck.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, after nine days of continuous attempts.

The seedling in Dantian finally produced a small flower bud.

This means that he has successfully broken through to the middle stage of foundation building.
