Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 143 Yang Fire Seal Chief Disciple

Xiao Chen took back the magic weapon and took away the storage bags of the two.

At the same time, he also picked up the two special small swords of Mr. Wang.

"What a strange, top-grade magical weapon."

That’s right, this pair of identical small swords are both top-grade magical weapons.

And one very important thing is that even when holding them in the hands and comparing them, the two swords are almost exactly the same.

Including the patterns on the sword body material, they all completely overlap.

He tried to inject magic power into it, and the small sword shrank back to one inch in length.

Feeling the power accumulating within it, Xiao Chen became even more confused.

"Could it be that he intends to harm someone with the magical weapon itself? Then why would he make it into a flying sword?"

Xiao Chen has seen four types of offensive magic weapons so far.

The first type is similar to the Green Gourd and the Divine Fire Summoning Flag. It uses magic power to manifest different magical weapons and generals and even monsters, and mainly uses the strategy of using more people to defeat fewer.

The second type is similar to the Flame Mirror and the Fire Treasure Gourd, which uses magical tools to cast special offensive spells.

The third type is similar to the Flowing Golden Light Beads and the Lotus Jade Ruyi, which use the characteristics of the magic weapon itself to restrain the cultivator's protective aura and directly hit people.

The last type is similar to the Wind and Thunder Sword and the Golden Gourd Thunderbolt Hammer, using magic weapons to cast sword light or hammer shadow to fight the enemy.

This is where things get strange.

The two small swords used by Old Wang were clearly made in the shape of swords, but their attack methods looked like those of a third type of magical weapon.

Xiao Chen recalled that the actual effect was even more bizarre.

After being blocked by his own magic weapon the first time, the second time actually penetrated his own brocade handkerchief and sent the evil spirit into his dantian.

"How is this done?"

Although Xiao Chen is not afraid of the invasion of evil spirits, he must be on guard against this method.

This time the enemy used evil spirit, next time it might be something else.

So this time he searched very carefully, and found everything in the two storage bags.

Unfortunately, the two men did not carry any relevant clues.

However, Xiao Chen was not completely without gain. In Qian Yong's storage bag, he found a thicker book called "Luo Tian San Zhen Mischievous Method".

"Hey, why is it different from mine?"

After a comparison, he discovered that Qian Yong's book actually had an additional chapter on advanced cultivation methods for the foundation-building period after the original three spells.

Expand the original first-level spell into a second-level spell.

It was also for this reason that the other party was able to drive a thousand black fire crows to fight against him.

It must be said that the skills taught by Luo Tian are actually quite good.

At least there are advanced spells, not the kind of patchwork that comes together from nowhere.

Xiao Chen skillfully turned to the part about the Black Fire Crow.

The second-level Black Fire Crow has added three additional different realms based on its original perfection - breaking the limit, adding fire, and increasing feathers.

The number of Black Fire Crows can be increased to one thousand, the new spiritual fire can be integrated into the Black Fire Crows to increase their lethality, and even fire feathers can be added to each Black Fire Crow for attack.

"Hiss, there's this kind of operation, genius!"

After reading it once, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh at the other party's wonderful ideas.

From a certain perspective, these three expanded realms are actually more like three auxiliary spells specially designed for the Black Fire Crow.

They share the same origin as the Black Fire Crow and complement each other.

The founder of this spell expanded the Black Fire Crow Technique to the second level by stacking several spells on top of each other.

"And it turns out that the magic cast by the Super Fire Crow Formation is called Luotian True Fire."

Before, Xiao Chen fumbled to arrange a thousand fire crows into a formation, and named it Xuanyang True Fire.

Now that I have found the original name, I can change the name in the future.

But these are all trivial matters. What is more important is that behind the Luo Tian True Fire, there is actually a diagram of the conjectural formation of the Luo Tian Holy Fire.

Below the formation diagram, there is a message from the founder of the technique.

The general meaning is that he already knows that his time is running out, but unfortunately he has not yet had time to deduce the magic to break the limit of the next realm.

Finally, he drew the formation diagram he envisioned, hoping that future generations could continue to improve and perfect this spell.

If one day in the future, I can summon ten thousand black fire crows.

You can then set up the formation according to this diagram and cast the Luotian Holy Fire.

"What a coincidence! With the method to break the limit, I can easily gather 10,000 fire crows directly."

Xiao Chen looked at the formation diagram in his hand, his eyes shining: "I just happen to have eight ounces of Flame Spirit Sand in my hand, so I should be able to break the limit soon."

He originally prepared this flaming spiritual sand for the "Nahuo Baolu".

But now the plan has naturally changed, and it is obviously more profitable to directly use it on the Black Fire Crow.

"If you want to complete the three realms of Breaking Limits, Adding Fire, and Increasing Feathers, eight ounces of Flame Spirit Sand will definitely not be enough."

"I'll have to collect another kilogram or two if I get a chance."

After silently noting down this request, he began to check the rest of his gains.

The first thing is naturally one thousand two hundred and twenty-three spirit stones.

Then there were some fasting pills, fire spirit grass, and miscellaneous items including spare mid-grade robes.

"Now the familiar feeling is back."

For many casual cultivators, these spiritual herbs or some rare minerals are also valuable things and they are reluctant to throw them away easily.

Cases like what happened to Lu Wuqiang last time are actually rare.

And because the battle ended quickly this time, Xiao Chen also found another jade talisman.

This time he recognized it immediately. The spell sealed in the jade talisman was Luo Tian Swallowing Sea Python.

In fact, as one of Luo Tian's three true magics, Luo Tian Swallowing Sea Python is also a very good spell.

However, this spell is related to water, so it is not suitable for him to practice.

However, this specially made jade talisman can be kept for use. According to the enhanced spiritual seal mentioned above, this jade talisman will not expire before the New Year.

In addition, there is another set of skills, called "The Secret Art of Luotian Sword Sacrifice".

This was the same method that Old Wang used to activate the small sword. This was an auxiliary secret method specifically used to speed up sword-type magic weapons.

The effect itself is actually quite good, but unfortunately it requires the consumption of essence and blood, so it has no practical value to Xiao Chen.

And finally, this is the most useful gain of this time.

Naturally, it was the evil-collecting gourd that was seized from Old Wang.

"Sure enough, after twenty thousand years, a lot of evil energy has gathered here again."

Xiao Chen looked at the gourd that was almost full and was very satisfied: "Fortunately, I came in time."

He was really lucky this time.

If he had come two months later, there would probably be nothing left here.

Luo Tian taught these two people to collect most of the evil spirits into the gourd, which actually saved him a lot of time.

Through the secret technique of observing qi, he sensed the location of the remaining evil spirit.

Xiao Chen also came to the cave and began to absorb the nearby Burning Sky Evil through the "Xuantian Secret Technique of Taking Food".
.
The speed of collecting evil energy and absorbing evil energy are different.

In addition, there are also great differences in the methods used for collection.

Therefore, although there was only one person, Xiao Chen's collection efficiency increased by three or four times.

Evil spirit is actually not a good thing. Once it invades the body of a cultivator, it can easily cause various consequences.

The Burning Sky Evil has two greatest dangers.

One of them is that it can burn the magic power in the monk's body.

The second is that it will trigger the anger of the monks, making them impatient, impulsive and irritable.

At the beginning, Xiao Chen used the "Xuantian Secret Technique of Taking Medicine" to suppress these two dangers.

However, he gradually discovered that in the face of such negative effects, the Divine Veil was more useful, as it allowed for direct immunity without the hassle of worrying about it.

Therefore, he simply gave up the defensive measures in the secret technique and absorbed all his strength.

This doubled his collection speed, and it only took seven days to absorb all the remaining evil energy in the basin.

The next step is to collect the evil spirit in the gourd.

Since the collection has been completed, it is more convenient to refine it, and the progress of cultivation can be said to be rapid.

As a large amount of Burning Sky Evil entered his body, Xiao Chen gradually felt that the fire spiritual power nearby seemed to be becoming more and more active.

This change is exactly the benefit brought by Burning Sky Evil.

The common characteristic of the five elements of evil spirit is that they can increase the cultivator's compatibility with the corresponding spiritual power, or increase the power of the corresponding spells.

The specific effect depends on the yin and yang attributes of the evil spirit itself.

According to the records in "Xuantian's Secret Art of Taking Medicine", the five elements of evil spirits are divided into two categories, yin and yang. There are a total of ten different kinds of evil spirits, namely yang five elements and yin five elements.

The Yin Five Elements' evil energy increases the corresponding spiritual power compatibility, while the Yang Five Elements' evil energy increases the corresponding spell power.

The Five Elements of Burning Sky Evil are fire, and it is extremely hard and yang, so it can also be called Yang Fire Evil.

Since it is Yang Fire Evil, its function is to increase the power of the cultivator's fire spells.

Xiao Chen spent another seven days, basically absorbing most of the evil energy in the gourd, and finally condensed a Yang Fire Seal in his dantian.

"Good boy, I almost thought the evil spirit wasn't enough."

You know, it took 20,000 years of accumulation here to accumulate such a gourd of evil energy.

If it really wasn't enough even if he absorbed it all, he wouldn't know where to find the supplement.

The conditions for the birth of evil spirits are very harsh.

It is not certain that there is such a place in the whole Lizhou, and it is impossible to find another place with the energy of Earth Evil, let alone another place with the energy of Yang Fire Evil.

And once it is taken away, it will take thousands or even millions of years to slowly accumulate.

This basin can no longer be relied upon.

"No wonder the master of the Immortal Palace only left behind one successor."

Xiao Chen now fully understood the other party's difficulties: "It's not that I don't want to pass on more, but the conditions don't allow it."

"If there were more successors, there wouldn't be enough evil energy to cultivate."

He used his spiritual sense to look inward at his dantian, and the Yang Fire Seal that had just formed immediately glowed slightly.

He tentatively touched it lightly with his magic power, and immediately felt a surge of fire spiritual power in his body, wanting to pour out.

"The sky is full of rosy clouds!"

Xiao Chen also wanted to see the power of the Yang Fire Seal.

So instead of suppressing it, he took advantage of the situation and threw a flame with red flames towards the surrounding rock walls.

"Boom!"

Originally, this was a cave. As the red flames erupted, the entire cave collapsed on the spot.

A quarter of an hour later.

A hand stretched out from the top of the collapsed hill, dug up the nearby soil, and pulled itself out.

Xiao Chen actually had a sense of precaution, so he deliberately controlled the sky to be filled with flames and only released one flame.

Unexpectedly, the power of this explosion was far greater than before. Just a single burst of flames destroyed the entire cave, burying him directly at the bottom of the mountain.

It is almost worth ten Yanxia in the past.

"Fuck, no wonder it's called the Heaven-reaching Method, it really has its own unique features."

"The Burning Sky Evil alone has such a powerful effect. If we can collect the evil spirits of the other five elements, or even higher-level evil spirits, wouldn't it be possible to reach the sky?"

Xiao Chen shook off the dirt on his body and began to think about the other evil spirits: "If I can get another Yin Fire Evil, it would be perfect."

The five elements of evil spirits have another function.

That is to help cultivators improve their success rate when forming a pill.

For the master of the Immortal Palace who left behind this martial arts technique, the most important thing may be the various effects of the evil spirit itself.

But for Xiao Chen, the latter incidental effect is what he values ​​more.

Since he has a low-grade wood spiritual root, if he forms a pill directly, there is only a 50% chance of success at most.

If one fails to form an elixir, at best, one's vitality will be severely damaged, and one's realm will regress, requiring years or even decades of recuperation. At worst, one may die on the spot, and the consequences are truly horrific.

And every time a cultivator obtains a piece of five-element evil energy, he can increase his chances of forming a pill by 10%.

Xiao Chen has now condensed the Yang Fire Seal, and the success rate of forming a pill has directly reached 15%.

This is a three-fold improvement for him.

Moreover, due to the harmony of yin and yang, if one can collect a pair of five-element evil spirits with the same attributes, the success rate of forming a pill can be increased by 30%.

In addition, according to the description of "Xuantian's Secret Method of Taking Medicine".

This secret method, like the fake elixir, does not conflict with other methods of forming elixir and can be used together.

"In this way, as long as I get the Yin Fire Seal, I can strive for the Core Formation stage."

Xiao Chen calculated in his mind that although evil energy was hard to find, he didn't have to collect a lot of it to form a pill.

As long as you get the Yin Fire Seal, you can get a 30% chance of forming a pill.

I can also refine fake pills, which can provide a 30% success rate in forming pills.

Then there is the secret technique of forming the elixir that is unique to the three major sects, which can provide a success rate of about 20% in forming the elixir.

This is not a secret. Everyone in Lizhou knows that the three major sects have the secret technique of forming the elixir.

Moreover, this secret technique is on the last page of the exchange book of the Hall of Merit. It can be exchanged directly with enough contribution points.

After achieving the foundation-building stage, many independent cultivators come to join the sect just for the sake of this secret technique.

Of course, Xiao Chen didn’t know about the other two sects, but the pricing of Lihuo Sect was indeed a bit expensive.

It was a sky-high price that normally one would have to work for the sect for forty to fifty years to save up.

Just the above three methods combined have a success rate of up to 80%.

If you want to be more cautious, you need to continue collecting evil spirits, or find a way to find a spiritual pill that can break through the level.

It is similar to the Purple Fire Golden Marrow Pill taken by True Man Mingyue, and can also provide a 20% success rate in forming a pill.

Although there are not many such pills, there will always be some opportunities.

If he could add a pill to break through the level, then breaking through the golden elixir, a major hurdle that has blocked thousands of cultivators, would no longer be an obstacle for him.

"In short, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright."
.
Due to the long distance, it was already mid-June when Xiao Chen returned to Lihuomen.

Along the way, he heard many disciples in the sect talking about the sect competition that had just ended.

"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Song would also be defeated."

"If you ask me, this rule is totally unfair. Why can't the spirit beasts be allowed to fight together?"

"That's nonsense! I heard that the White-Eyed Tiger has already reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. It would be unfair to allow it to compete."

"I think so too. It's also great that Senior Sister Su won the championship. I supported Senior Sister Su before. I should be able to get a spirit fish tomorrow."

"Humph, it's just a small fish that can be bought with a grain of spiritual sand."

……

Xiao Chen was really surprised this time.

Although Su Wanqing looks a little silly at ordinary times, she can actually win the sect competition.

In this way, she should be the chief disciple of this generation.

First, I took a walk around the Demon Palace to make my presence felt.

Xiao Chen then returned to Cuiwei Valley and saw Su Wanqing watering flowers in the yard.

"Uncle Xiao, you're back."

Seeing him appear, Su Wanqing immediately put down the kettle in her hand.

He took out a specially made small wooden box from his arms, opened it and waved it: "I have good news to tell you."

Xiao Chen took a look and saw that the small wooden box contained a foundation-building pill.

"What good news is this?"

"Don't you already have the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Su Wanqing was stunned at first, then proudly introduced: "Uncle Xiao, this is the reward for the sect competition."

Then she sighed with some regret: "Alas, what a pity! If you had come back two days earlier, you would have seen my wonderful performance in the ring."

"You don't know how powerful I am this time."

"I've had ten fights in one month, and I haven't lost a single one from start to finish."

Xiao Chen reminded her: "Is it possible that no matter who becomes the champion in the end, they will not lose a single match from start to finish?"

"Eh?"

Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

"Uncle Xiao, I did win ten games in a row. Don't you want to praise me?"

"alright."

Xiao Chen raised his hand and gave a thumbs up: "Then you are indeed quite amazing."

"I think so."

Su Wanqing picked up the kettle again and asked while pouring water: "By the way, Uncle Xiao, are you available to watch the Three Sects Competition in early September?"

"This time I will definitely become the strongest in Lizhou."

"I believe you."

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. The strongest Qi Refiner is the strongest, no problem.

But after thinking about it, he wasn't sure if he had the time.

Since the Chinese New Year, his action plan has been changed several times due to interference from various external factors.

Maybe by then, I won’t be able to go for some reason.

"I can't say for sure whether I'll be free then."

"Ah?" Su Wanqing was a little disappointed: "Okay then."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen added, "Don't worry, if I have time, I will definitely remember to support you."

As he spoke, he rummaged through his storage bag and took out the water spirit bead that he had bought in the Yellow Wind Valley.

At that time, I was in urgent need of wood spirit liquid. Considering that if I couldn't find a suitable spirit liquid later, this water spirit bead could be used as a substitute. After all, water can produce wood.

As a result, I collected several kinds of wood-type spiritual objects one after another, and this water spirit bead was never used.

During various festivals, Su Wanqing would often give him small gifts when she came to see him.

This time she became the chief disciple, so I should also show my appreciation.

This water spirit bead can be used as a return gift: "Here, consider this as an early congratulations to you on becoming the chief disciple."

"I remember you have water spirit roots. Using them to practice magic might help you in the competition in September."

"Wow, could this be the Eastern Region Spirit Pearl?"

Su Wanqing recognized the Water Spirit Pearl at a glance and took it with great surprise: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao. I just happened to be practicing water magic recently, so I won't be polite."

Although for many people in Lihuo Sect, the sect competition is a very important event.

But for Xiao Chen, this was just a small episode.

After returning to the sect, he went to the Sutra Library again.

He carefully checked the rest of the ancient books, especially those related to volcanic groups, hoping to find clues about the Yin Fire Evil.

Unfortunately, even though he searched through all the books, he could not find any other clues about the evil spirit.

"Isn't there only one kind of evil spirit in Lizhou?"

If that's the case, then things become much more troublesome.

In the current situation, apart from Lizhou, the only place left is Hezhou, and all the routes going out have been blocked by the Divine Fire Sect.

"Is there any other way to get out?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and went to find Lin Pingan: "Junior Brother Lin, do you have a way to bypass the Divine Fire Sect and go somewhere else?"

"For example, the entrance to the secret realm we visited last time, can we use that entrance to leave?"

Lin Pingan answered seriously: "If I can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, I should be able to try to change the formation."

What the hell is the Nascent Soul stage? It’s better to just kill him directly.

However, Xiao Chen knew that this idea was a bit outrageous, so he just asked tentatively: "Okay, just pretend I didn't ask that question just now."

His main purpose was: "Junior Brother Lin, if you want to go to any other secret realms later, remember to call me."

The environment within the secret realm is special and can cultivate spiritual objects like the Flame Spirit Crystal.

Maybe you can find the evil spirit in some secret realm.

Lin Pingan agreed readily: "No problem, if I have any clues, I will come to find my senior brother first."

The two of them had a pleasant experience working together before, and he wouldn't mind working together a few more times.

"Since there are no clues, I might as well practice first."

After returning to Cuiwei Valley, Xiao Chen calmed his thoughts a little.

He felt that he seemed a little too impatient after finding Burning Sky Evil.

When thinking about breaking through the golden elixir, one can't wait to collect all the evil spirits immediately. This kind of impatient mentality is actually not desirable.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Manager Xiao, please move to the sect's main hall. There is a very important meeting that requires your participation."

Xiao Chen opened the door and saw that the person who came to inform him was an inner sect disciple, who seemed to be one of the two people in charge of guarding the sect's main hall.

Curiously, he inquired, "What's the rush?"

Generally speaking, if it is not a particularly important matter, disciples will not knock on the door and disturb others.

They either wait at the door or slip a notice between the cracks in the door.

The other party replied: "I heard it is related to Hezhou."

Hezhou?

Could it be that the situation in Hezhou has worsened?
Xiao Chen wanted to ask, but this disciple obviously didn't know more about the inside story.

He arrived at the sect's main hall, and soon, most of the sect's managers and elders received the news and rushed over.
