Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 211 The three of us versus Xiao Chen alone, the advantage is mine
On a deserted island about 160,000 miles south of Baicao Island.

Xiao Chen landed on the ground, took a breath, and prepared to practice swordsmanship.

Ever since the Wind and Thunder Sword combined with the Life Pill to become his natal flying sword, he has never used it.

It's a rare opportunity to come out, so I can take this opportunity to test the power of the "Sharp Light Soaring Cloud Sword".

This place is surrounded by sea for a thousand miles, so you can cast spells without worrying about being seen.

He took out the flying swords for inspection and found that after being nourished by the Life Pill, the colors of the two flying swords became purer.

A handful of deep blue is like the dewdrops condensed on the tender bamboo leaves on the mountains in the early morning of early spring; a handful of indigo is like the outermost glow of the fiery clouds in the sky at dusk in late autumn.

Even though the two spiritual swords have already restrained their external brilliance.

But anyone who takes one look at them can tell that these must be a pair of treasures.

After all, this is my natal flying sword, so it is naturally different from ordinary objects.

Xiao Chen's mind moved, and the true energy in his body was divided into two streams and injected into the opposing sword.

There was nothing unusual at the beginning, until the 100th true energy was in place, and the Fenglei Sword suddenly made a crisp sword sound.

Immediately, a gentle breeze blew across his face, making his clothes flutter. Lightning flashed around him, making him look like a fairy.

"Great, what an effect!"

Xiao Chen looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Let’s not talk about the power for now, just tell me whether it looks good or not?

"The sharp spirit is beginning to gather, and the heart is as bright as a torch..."

Holding the Wind and Thunder Sword and performing sword techniques, the situation was immediately completely different compared to the previous practice with bare hands.

As a yellow-level sword technique, "Sharp Light Soaring to the Clouds Sword" only has two sword techniques: Sharp Qi Soaring to the Clouds and Heart Light Soaring to the Clouds, with a total of no more than twelve sword moves.

By striving for simplicity in design, we can reduce the difficulty of practice.

Therefore, it only took Xiao Chen half an hour to master the sword shape, and he was officially introduced to this set of sword techniques.

"Soar straight up and cut!"

Facing the endless sea in front of him, Xiao Chen swung his sword with force, and immediately the sword light was like the wind, sweeping out, breaking through the clouds and raising waves dozens of feet high on the sea.

In a blink of an eye, it spread forward from the deserted island, covering an area of ​​about six hundred feet.

It looked almost like a small tsunami.

After practicing all twelve sword moves in one breath and looking at the huge waves hitting in front of him, Xiao Chen suddenly felt relaxed, and the depression from recent hard training was swept away.

"It's a pity that there are no actual combat exercises with fellow monks. It still lacks a bit of fun."

If you are a cultivator from a sect, you can often compete with your fellow disciples after achieving a breakthrough in your cultivation level to test the results of your cultivation.

Of course, when Xiao Chen was in Lihuomen before, he never looked for anyone to practice with.

After all, he has Hextech enhancements, so he knows he will win without fighting.

The reason why he suddenly thought of this now was actually because he was not sure about the combat effectiveness of the other cultivators in the Eastern Region.

The effect of the Nine-Light Mysterious Pill is indeed good, and it effectively strengthens the true essence.

But it should not be enough to realize the so-called magic that can reach hundreds or thousands of feet.

Even if combined with heavenly-level skills, the difference should still be many times greater.

Xiao Chen didn't think that Master Shou Yuan would lie to him for no reason.

This means that there should be other ways to increase the power of spells in the Eastern Region, but I have not yet encountered them.

"It's not a big problem. If it doesn't work, just go buy some more Nine Lights Mysterious Pills."

Anyway, judging from the situation of the True Yang Fire Dragon, improving the quality of one's own true essence can also be amplified by Hextech enhancement.

What's more, these things are ultimately just means of protecting the Tao.

The most important thing is to make every effort to improve your own realm.

Speaking of this, Xiao Chen discovered that the Jiuyao Xuandan also had a side effect.

Actually, this may not be quite accurate.

The main situation is that as the true energy in his body becomes more and more condensed, both the speed of true energy recovery and the speed of condensing new true energy are affected to a certain extent.

This is understandable, but it also brings up a problem.

That is, the speed of cultivation has slowed down. After all, it used to take two days of concentrated cultivation to condense one true essence, but now it takes almost four days.

It was already late January, and according to the current situation, he might need to wait until next year to reach the threshold of the middle stage of the Golden Core.

In fact, for a Jindan cultivator with a lifespan of 500 years, one year is really not a long time.

Some monks need to go into seclusion for three to five years.

It’s just that Xiao Chen was used to rapid progress, so he was wondering if he could go even faster.

According to past experience, it is time to swallow spiritual objects to speed up the cultivation process.

He had always done this before, which ensured that his cultivation progress was rapid and he was far ahead.

But the problem is that Xiao Chen is now between poor and rich.

Considering his status as a casual cultivator, he now owns a total of more than one million spirit stones, which is already a considerable fortune, not to mention the many fourth-level spiritual objects he also owns.

Even the previous chief of the Zhaixing Sword Pavilion was definitely not as rich as him.

But it would be a bit of a waste to eat a fourth-level spiritual creature directly, and it would easily attract attention if it was sold.

A top-level third-grade spiritual object would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. If he swallowed top-level spiritual objects every day as before, a million spirit stones would be squandered in less than two months, which was obviously not advisable.

"I need to find a way to earn some Spiritual Stone Flowers. Is there any quick and easy way to make money?"

While flying back to Baicao Island on his sword, Xiao Chen began to think about ways to make money.

Isn’t it a little slow to study alchemy now?

How about offering a bounty?

He remembered that among the bounties posted on Wanxian Island, there were eleven people whose bounties were worth over one million.

The total bounty adds up to more than 10 million spirit stones, which can be called a spirit stone mine.

But the problem is that those people may not be easy to catch.

Just as Xiao Chen was lost in thought, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly came from afar, waking him up.

"Is there anyone fighting?"

Following the fluctuations of spiritual energy, I saw a Jindan cultivator flying towards this side on a sword in the northwest direction.

Behind him, there were two early Jindan auras moving quickly through the sea, chasing him closely.

They don't look like humans, but two golden elixir monsters.

In an instant, an idea flashed in Xiao Chen's mind - demon pill!
How could he forget about this?

What is the most abundant thing in the Eastern Region?
A third-level sea fish!
God knows how many third-level sea fish there are in the vast ocean.

Moreover, cultivators can use the Nine-Light Mysterious Pill to enhance their true essence, but sea fish should not have this ability.

In other words, a soft persimmon.

It just so happened that Xiao Chen was still a physical cultivator. If he could catch a third-level sea fish, not only would he get a demon pill, but he could also save some money on buying fish meat. It would be killing two birds with one stone!
As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains to eat, you must rely on the water to eat.

If you live by the sea, you should make a living from the sea.

"Fellow Taoist, help!"

The cultivator who was fleeing in front also saw Xiao Chen and hurriedly shouted, "I am a cultivator from the Jin family of Wanxian Island. I beg you to help me. I will reward you handsomely later."
.
Jin Baoqiang originally followed two elders in the clan who were in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm to participate in the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.

After the secret realm ended a month ago, the group wanted to take a tour around Baicao Island to experience the charm of Nanlaohai.

So I stayed there for more than half a month and never returned.

Today, Jin Baoqiang got up early and went out for a ride, but he was unexpectedly spotted by two sea fish of the same size on the way, who lurked in the water and attacked him.

If the clan hadn't given him a life-saving jade talisman, he would have died by now.

Then he ran all the way, trying to seek protection from his tribesmen.

However, the two sea fish were so fast that the gap between them was getting smaller and smaller, which made him extremely anxious.

Just at this moment, he met a fellow Taoist flying by on a sword in front of him, and he hurriedly asked for help.

At the same time, he brought out his identity as a member of the Jin family, hoping that the other party could lend a helping hand.

After all, faced with such troubles, many casual cultivators may take the initiative to stay away and are unwilling to bring trouble upon themselves.

Fortunately, what made Jin Baoqiang happy was that after hearing his cry for help, the fellow stopped where he was and seemed willing to help.

This is great!
"My name is Jin Baoqiang, thank you for your help, fellow Taoist!"

As he took out the talisman to suppress the sea fish, he took the initiative to inform the other party of the situation and comfort him: "I had already sent a sound transmission spirit sword to ask for help at the first moment."

"As long as we hold on for a moment, the elders of the tribe will come to our aid."

Ok?
Someone will come to snatch the demon pill in a moment?

Xiao Chen's eyes focused. There was actually a time limit. It seemed that he couldn't be too low-key today. He had to use some of his strength to fight quickly and decisively.

The True Yang Fire Dragon is a bit too eye-catching and easy to be exposed, so it is best to hide it.

It just so happens that I have just practiced swordsmanship a few times, so I might as well use the sword to slay the monster.

He stood in mid-air, holding the Donghua Wind Sword in his hand, infusing it with true energy and swinging out a ray of sword light.

For this first sword strike, Xiao Chen only used one-third of his strength as a test.

Even if it was only three-tenths of his strength, with the Hextech enhancement and the condensation of his true essence, it immediately caused a hundred-foot-wide water wave.

It even made Jin Baoqiang's eyes light up. What a strong sword energy! He must be saved now.

The opponent showed considerable strength, and the two of them cooperated well enough to last for a long time.

A sea fish reacted quickly, swung its tail, and created a few feet of white waves to block the sword light.

The other fish was a beat slower to react and failed to dodge, resulting in three inches of its dorsal fin being cut off. In anger, large scales lit up and it shot out hundreds of ice knives in retaliation.

Seeing this, Jin Baoqiang threw the talisman in his hand without hesitation, and it immediately turned into a blue lotus covering the two people's heads.

Whether it is an ice knife flying in the sea or a wave stirring up, there will be lotus leaves hanging down to block it.

Then it was put away again so as not to interfere with the two people's normal attacks.

When fighting in collaboration with other monks, defensive spells such as water curtain should be cast with caution.

Otherwise, not only will you stop the enemy, but you will also easily stop your own people.

However, Xiao Chen frowned slightly when he saw this effect. These two sea fish seemed a little unusual.

If it was a Jindan cultivator from the Southern Region, he would not be able to block it so easily even if he only used one-third of his strength.

"Sharp spirit to pick up the clouds!"

He swung his sword back with his backhand, adding a bit more force.

The Donghua Wind Sword in his hand immediately turned into a white light about ten feet long and fell into the sea, drawing an arc and rising from the bottom of the sea fish on the left.

This sword was even faster, and the sea fish had no time to dodge.

But it did not sit there and wait for death. Instead, all the scales on its body glowed, emitting a layer of deep blue true energy that turned into a shell on its body surface to wrap itself.

"Click~!"

The sword light hit the shell and paused visibly.

“Crack~!”

The shell shattered, but the scattered fragments blocked the sword light again, and in the end it only cut off a piece of fish scale but did not hurt the vital parts.

"Pretty!"

Jin Baoqiang cast a talisman to restrain another sea fish, and did not forget to praise: "Fellow Daoist, your attainments are so high!"

As a disciple from a prominent family, he could tell at a glance that the Sharp Light Soaring Cloud Sword was not of high quality.

But this just shows that the person in front of him has most likely practiced this low-level swordsmanship to perfection, so he can exert such power.

Judging from his appearance, he should be more than two hundred years old, and probably a swordsman who is extremely skilled in the way of the sword.

Thinking of this, Jin Baoqiang paid more attention to the blue lotus above his head. Most sword cultivators are good at attacking, so defense would be left to him.

However, Xiao Chen looked a little serious when he heard the praise.

He had just seen the sea fish's true essence revealed, and it was exceptionally condensed.

what's the situation?
Has it also eaten the Jiuyao Xuandan?

It seems like he eats more than me?

This is of course impossible. The only explanation is that the sea fish in front of him is unusual.

The more this happened, the more Xiao Chen became interested in its demon pill.

Could it be that I am finally going to be lucky today and encounter a mutant sea fish?

"Take it~!"

With a wave of his hand, the Donghua Wind Sword broke through the water, drew a semicircle in the sky and returned to his hand.

In that case, it's okay to expose my swordsmanship temporarily for the sake of mutating the sea fish.

"The light of the heart breaks!"

Xiao Chen used all his strength to activate the wind sword in his hand, and at the same time merged part of his spiritual consciousness with the flying sword.

Then, he threw it downwards as if he had caught a flying knife. The sword blade left a long tail, like throwing a meteor.

This move seems slow, but it is actually extremely fast.

The moment he struck, he stabbed the sea fish.

Before it could cast a spell or dodge, the Donghua Wind Sword pierced its head directly.

“Pah! Pah!”

The huge fish body was stirring desperately in the sea, and its tail was splashing waves.

But this is just a residual instinctive reaction of marine fish.

After struggling for a while, strands of light golden blood began to seep out from the wound, indicating that its body had lost its vitality and was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

When the other sea fish saw its companion fall, it seemed to be stimulated by something.

In an instant, the whole body glowed, just like the moon on August 15th reflected in the sea.

A huge amount of true energy poured out, and the sea water within a radius of 100 miles was drawn in, forming a waterspout hundreds of feet high in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the waterspout emitted an extremely strong suction force.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth around it was also firmly captured.

The seawater within hundreds of miles was frantically pumped out and then sprayed out from high altitude, forming a heavy rainstorm.

The green lotus in the air lasted less than three breaths before it was sucked into the waterspout and crushed on the spot.

The defensive talisman that Jin Baoqiang had just cast out lasted only two breaths before it dimmed.

He tried to fly away on his sword, but not only could he not fly away, he was getting closer and closer to the waterspout.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Help, I can't stand it anymore!"

"Fellow Daoist, please help me!"
.
Xiao Chen still had some strength left at this time. He took out the Immortal Binding Rope from his storage ring and threw it over as a rope.

He then used the "Chasing Stars and Catching the Moon" technique to break free from the suction and rushed out dozens of miles with Jin Baoqiang.

Then he turned around and used the Heart Light Break again to chop at another sea fish.

The sea fish itself was also pulled by its spell and had no time to dodge, and was also pierced by the sword.

As the true energy was cut off, the huge waterspout also dispersed on its own.

"Phew, I was scared to death."

Jin Baoqiang put his hand on his chest, obviously frightened.

Xiao Chen turned back immediately, used his flying sword to cut the two sea fish into large pieces, and put them into the Hanhai Ring.

At the same time, he also collected two golden demon pills.

If the inner elixir can increase the total amount of magic power, or help monks practice.

In terms of condensing true essence, the demon pill is definitely a good thing that is no less than the top third-level spiritual object.

Not to mention that these two sea fish clearly have condensed true essence, which is unusual.

In this case, their demon pills should also have better effects.

While Xiao Chen was collecting sea fish meat, two new golden elixir auras came from the outside world.

"Nephew Baoqiang, are you okay?"

"Nephew, what's going on? What happened?"

It turned out that the two elders of the Jin family had rushed here.

After receiving the message from the spiritual sword, they were heading in this direction.

The huge waterspout just now, with no obstruction on the sea surface, was very conspicuous even from thousands of miles away, and immediately attracted the attention of the two people.

So he quickly moved over and saw Jin Baoqiang.

At the same time, he also saw golden blood escaping from the sea not far away.

The two of them immediately looked at each other and recognized that this was the symbol of a mutated sea fish.

It is different from the situation of land spirit beasts and the boundary sea.

A large portion of the high-level marine fish in the Eastern Region have mutated bloodlines.

This situation occurs because the overall number of marine fish is too large.

With a large base number, it is naturally more likely that individuals with ancestral blood will revert to their original lineage.

The number of sea fish is more than a thousand times greater than that of land beasts, so the number of mutated sea fish is naturally hundreds or thousands of times greater as well.

After the two elders of the Jin family understood the general situation, they immediately became interested.

Overall, the Eastern Region has no shortage of third-level sea fish or mutated sea fish.

But when it comes to individuals, they are short of it!

These are two mutated demon pills, worth at least as much as four ordinary demon pills.

If it could fall into the hands of the two of them, the training time could be shortened by at least five years.

You know, ordinary monks don’t have Hextech bonuses.

Their cultivation speed is slow to begin with, often taking dozens or even hundreds of years.

Naturally, they are more eager for this good thing that can speed up their cultivation. For them, saving five years of cultivation time is almost equivalent to extending their life by five years.

Jin Baoqiang's sixth uncle Jin Xiuyong immediately used his spiritual sense to secretly transmit the message.

In terms of timing, Xiao Chen had just experienced a battle, and his true energy must have been depleted a lot.

In terms of geographical advantage, no other monks pass by here all year round. As long as we do it cleanly, we can be sure that no one will notice.

In terms of human coordination, there are three of us against Xiao Chen alone, so the advantage is on my side.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, a middle-aged swordsman who can only practice yellow-level skills must have no background and is not a genius.

If he had any connection, how could he have fallen to the point of practicing a yellow-level spell for decades?

Such an opportunity is right in front of us, how can we not be tempted?

So when Xiao Chen came out of the sea, he saw Jin Baoqiang hiding behind him.

A middle-aged man with a resolute face looked at him with a smile: "I just heard from my nephew that fellow Daoist drew his sword to help in a critical moment. Our Wanxian Island Jin family is deeply grateful."

"I wonder what your name is, where you are from, and what school or sect are you from?"

"Please tell me the truth. From now on, our two families should make peace and support each other."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "You are too kind, fellow Daoist. I am Jin Guang San Ren, just a casual cultivator."

"I come from the south, which is quite far from here. If I tell you about it, you may not have heard of it, so it's better not to mention it."

Hearing this, the three members of the Jin family looked at each other.

Jin Xiuli, the leader and fourth uncle of Jin Baoqiang, finally made up his mind when he heard that Xiao Chen had no background.

They are going to get these two demon pills today.

Considering that if Xiao Chen was allowed to escape, he might have one more enemy.

He waved his hand and released a gong: "Kill!"

Before he finished speaking, the gong sounded, and the vibration could be heard for a hundred miles.

The three of them were naturally prepared, and a mysterious rune appeared on their bodies, blocking out the sound.

Xiao Chen heard it clearly and immediately felt as if his sea of ​​consciousness was hit hard, as if someone had hit his temple with a hammer.

Another spiritual attack!

Fortunately, he condensed the life pill a few days ago, and his spiritual consciousness was also strengthened to a certain extent.

He was stunned for just a moment before coming to his senses.

However, in just a moment, a jade ruyi was seen hanging high in the sky.

A flying sword attacked from each side, and in front of him was a phantom of a monkey, holding a huge stick that was a hundred feet long and smashing it on the head.

With no time to dodge, Xiao Chen subconsciously summoned the Ghost Face Mysterious Light Shield to protect his body with the mysterious light.

Since the true energy was not enough to activate the spiritual form, the spiritual shield lasted for a moment before being knocked down and fell into the sea.

Fortunately, during this short interval, he was able to open the "Qiongtai Fire Lotus".

The lotus leaves bloomed, blocking attacks from all directions.

"No, what kind of spell is this?"

Jin Xiuli frowned. It clearly looked like a yellow-level defensive spell. How could it block his attack so easily?
"Use the talisman quickly, don't give him a chance to fight for his life!"

Jin Xiuyong on the other side loudly reminded that this kind of sword cultivator is best at fighting for life and death, and it is best to kill them directly with magic.

However, Xiao Chen was not as anxious to fight back as he thought.

Instead, he looked at Jin Baoqiang calmly: "I just saved you twice, and you're repaying me with evil like this?"

Jin Baoqiang avoided looking at him, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Jin Guang. I will offer incense and memorial tablets for you at home, and sacrifice animals during festivals."

As he spoke, two talismans appeared in his hands one after another.

"Good good."

Sometimes people want to laugh when they are angry, like Xiao Chen now.

He took out the white bone soul-calling banner and directly injected 120 true essences into it to activate the spiritual form, releasing three magic soul puppets.

Then he waved his hand and performed the "True Yang Nine Dragon Dance" to prepare for a quick battle.

At this point, there is no need to worry about exposing your cards, after all, dead people will not reveal secrets.

"Heaven-level spell!"

Jin Xiuyong looked at the two-thousand-foot-long True Yang Fire Dragon, and a look of fear suddenly appeared on his face.

"Not only is it a Heaven-level spell, but it also uses the True Essence Secret Technique to amplify the spell's power!"

Jin Xiuli's expression was extremely grim. This was not the ability a casual cultivator should possess: "Wait a minute, fellow Daoist, there's a misunderstanding!"

However, what was waiting for him was the Dharma Soul Puppet that fell from the sky.

As usual, Xiao Chen controlled the fire dragon to deal with the weakest Jin Baoqiang first.

Following closely behind is Jin Xiuyong.

"You also have a Heaven-level escape technique. Who are you?"

Jin Xiuli tried to escape, but found that he couldn't run away at all.

"I?"

Xiao Chen pierced his heart with the red gold four-edged mace: "I am the one who wants to kill you!"
