Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 16: The Surprise from the Ghost-Faced Spider

There is something wrong with this monk!
The strong survival instinct made the ghost-faced spider immediately spit out its own spider web to trap the enemy.

But a fist-sized fireball flew out from Xiao Chen's fingertips even faster, tearing the spider web and exploding directly on the ghost-faced spider.

"Boom~!"

A huge flame exploded, and a rolling heat wave rushed towards him, causing Xiao Chen to subconsciously stretch out his hand to block it.

Since entering the Feihong Mountains, this was the first time he encountered a spirit beast that his fireball technique could not penetrate.

The Ghost-Faced Spider's powerful shell actually managed to block his spell, thus triggering the explosion of the fireball.

This is actually the normal attack method of Fireball, which is to hurt the enemy by exploding flames.

The previous situation was purely because the opponent's defense was too poor to trigger the second stage of explosion.

The next moment, more flames shot up into the sky.

Especially the spider webs hidden in the grass are the best combustible materials and they are ignited in an instant.

The surging flames forced Xiao Chen to retreat three steps, and even set the ghost-faced spider's entire body on fire.

"Spare me..."

The ghost-faced spider had just opened its mouth and tried to shout when the second fireball shot accurately into its mouth.

"Boom!"

Another explosion sounded, causing the Ghost-Faced Spider to fall completely to the ground, motionless.

Xiao Chen chanted a spell and pointed his finger: "Go!"

The third fireball followed closely and hit the ghost-faced spider hard in the face.

Its head was completely burned into ashes.

This ghost-faced spider has acquired a certain level of intelligence and wisdom through the process of bloodline regression.

Relying on the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining, it has hunted several cultivators in the past few days. Even if it encounters cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining, they will only become its toys.

However, it never reacted until it died.

Why is this relatively weak enemy, according to its innate perception, more difficult to deal with than those stronger enemies?

In just ten breaths, Xiao Chen shot out three fireballs in a row, which was three times faster than that of an ordinary cultivator.

The reason why it can be so fast is also because of the Hextech of the featherweight player, which brings a tenfold increase in the mana operation speed.

Although the speed of mana flow is only a partial factor affecting the speed of spell release, it also doubles the speed of his fireball release.

This allowed him to successfully complete a series of attacks on the Ghost-Faced Spider, thus killing it in one go.

"Huh, what a powerful spirit beast! It can actually withstand three of my attacks. It must be at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Xiao Chen exhaled lightly, adjusted his internal energy, and fired another fireball to examine the body.

"No response, looks like he's dead."

Then he felt relieved: "It's definitely not an ordinary spirit beast. Could this be the legendary ghost-faced spider?"

No wonder it is called a ghost face, it is indeed lifelike. He did not doubt its disguise at all at first.

But this ghost-faced spider can actually lie and even speak human language. Isn’t it a bit too smart?

It’s not that Xiao Chen discriminates against spirit beasts. It’s mainly because he remembers that Old Wu once said that only spirit beasts in the foundation-building stage can develop high-level intelligence and even learn human language.

But if someone said that the spirit beast in front of him was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would be the first one not to believe it.

If that were the case, I would be the one lying on the ground now.

With doubts, Xiao Chen cut open the ghost-faced spider's belly and searched for the points jade card.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t find the jade pendant, but I saw a round golden ball first.

hiss~!

What is this thing? It can't be a golden elixir. I killed a golden elixir stage spirit beast?

He shook his head, dismissing the thought of such a spectacle, and reached out to pick up the ball.

It is not as sticky as I imagined, but it is much heavier than I imagined. The small ball, which is only half an inch in size, feels at least ten pounds in my hand.

"Could it be that this is the inner elixir of the spirit beast?"

Generally speaking, there is a chance that inner elixir will be generated in advance in the bodies of spiritual beasts in the foundation-building stage. When they break through the golden elixir stage, their inner elixir will also transform into golden elixir.

However, Xiao Chen had never heard of an example of a spirit beast in the Qi Refining stage having an inner elixir in its body.

How is this going?

Although he was very curious, he did not swallow the suspected inner elixir directly for the sake of caution. Instead, he cut a piece of skin on the spot and wrapped it up.

There was no need for him to take any risks now. After returning to the sect, there would naturally be plenty of ways to figure out whether this thing was an inner elixir.

Then Xiao Chen took out the Ghost-Faced Spider's jade token and prepared to continue on his way to find his next buyer.

Unexpectedly, there was a surprise in the ghost-faced spider's belly.

Closely next to the jade token was a flying sword that had been corroded to the point that it was only one foot long, and a small jade box that was shining with spiritual light.

That flying sword looked particularly familiar. It was clearly the sect's standard flying sword that almost every outer disciple had.

Although it had been digested beyond recognition at this point, Xiao Chen still recognized it at a glance.

However, what he was more curious about now was the intact jade box next to it.

Take out the points jade card and small jade box, and rinse them clean with water therapy.

After the jade box was clean, the spiritual light on it dimmed and no longer sparkled.

Oh, that's interesting.

This situation made him think of that special storage box.

Old Man Wu has a storage box, which is said to be a high-quality item he bought specifically for learning alchemy when he was young.

Every year when he recruits a new disciple, he takes it out and demonstrates it to them. It looks much more advanced than the one in front of him.

It is said that this storage box is not afraid of swords, water or fire, and can only be opened by actively injecting magic power. It is especially suitable for storing more precious elixirs or other spiritual materials.

I tried to input some mana, but the feedback I got was that there was not enough mana.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up and he hurriedly injected another stream of magic power.

"Click."

The jade box finally opened, revealing a large and round elixir stored inside.

"He Yuan Dan!"

This is a top-grade first-grade elixir that contains a large amount of spiritual energy and can help cultivators condense magic power more easily. It is generally used to assist in breakthroughs.

The last time Xiao Chen exchanged for the Qi-nourishing Pill at the Merit Hall, he had seen its pattern in a booklet. One such pill would cost a full ten spirit stones.

He had thought about buying one, but at that time he only had about forty spirit stones left on him.

Due to financial constraints, he finally decided to rely on his own practice and save a few spirit stones for emergencies.

Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected gain this time and picked up a ready-made Heyuan Pill for free.

After these few days of intensive spell casting and hunting of spirit beasts, Xiao Chen's mana, which was already being consumed and recovered, had been enhanced to a certain extent.

Now with the help of Heyuan Dan, he is 99% sure that he can directly break through the sixth level of Qi Refining.

If the venue here was not unsuitable and he was worried that the breakthrough would delay time and make him late, he would have wanted to complete the breakthrough on the spot.

After carefully putting away the storage box, Xiao Chen put on his cloak and headed straight for the sect's gathering point.
