Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 235: Forbidden Land of Silence: First Meeting with Su Li
Sea of ​​compassion.

Cangming Sea, Cangming Immortal Sect.

"Master, this is bad!"

The Internal Affairs Elder looked nervous: "Three hours ago, someone triggered the monitoring formation set up by the sect."

Iron Fan Master, who was deep in thought while looking at the invitation in his hand, suddenly changed his expression: "Who is the disciple guarding him? Why didn't he report it immediately?"

Without waiting for the internal affairs elder to answer.

He immediately inquired, "Which monitoring formation is the warning? What's its strength? Have the other disciples in the sect been notified?"

The most urgent thing is to deal with things first.

"Reporting to the headmaster, uncle, the warning has come from the Ji'e Forbidden Land. It is suspected that a Jindan cultivator has crossed over. We haven't... informed the uncles yet. I will send a voice transmission now."

As the Internal Affairs Elder spoke, he took out the sound-transmitting sword.

"Wait a minute, the Forbidden Land of Silence?"

Master Iron Fan frowned slightly: "Why would anyone still want to go to a place like that?"

"Are you sure the person who sounded the alarm for the monitoring formation was a Jindan cultivator?"

The Internal Affairs Elder understood the hidden meaning and nodded quickly, "Master, I saw it for sure."

Master Iron Fan's eyes flickered. "I know about this. From now on, this news will be kept secret. If anyone leaks even a single word, you will be punished according to the sect's rules."

"Also, go back and educate your guard disciples."

"This kind of delay in warning will never happen again. Do you understand?"

The Internal Affairs Elder nodded quickly in agreement, but he was secretly looking around, becoming more and more curious about what the forbidden area of ​​​​Jie'e in the sect was.

the other side.

In the forbidden land of Ji'e, which is Ji'e Island, Xiao Chen is searching the surrounding situation.

Judging from intuition, the snake seemed to be affected by some force, causing it to mutate.

He didn't want to be eaten by a monster in the middle of his sleep, or encounter some other bad luck.

While searching, Xiao Chen was chewing sea fish and sorting out his next plan.

Even though the island looked deserted, it didn't matter.

Now that we have arrived at the Sea of ​​Mercy, it will probably not be long before we can come into contact with other monks.

Now, in the path of cultivation, he has reached the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.

In the next period of time, I must work hard to refine my true essence, and at the same time look for spiritual objects that can help me break through small bottlenecks.

As for physical cultivation, because I had previously focused on sprinting to the middle stage of the Golden Core, I am still in the early stage of the Golden Core and my progress has lagged behind a lot.

Eating only sea fish meat is obviously too slow. Considering that spirit stones are relatively abundant now, we can consider purchasing some body-refining spiritual objects that can increase qi and blood when we go to the market. This is a two-pronged approach.

It was almost dusk before we encountered the white fog.

At this time, Xiao Chen searched for a while, and before he knew it, it was night, and a bright moon rose quietly.

As the bright moonlight streamed towards the earth, he suddenly saw tiny flashes of silver light in a clump of dark green vines in front of him.

"Oh, what is this?"

Bending over to push aside the dense branches and leaves, Xiao Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Three moon-dyed chalcedony mushrooms are emitting mercury-like moonlight, and a few drops of lush green dew are condensed under their round caps.

"No way, is this something I can just pick up?"

"Can I be so lucky?"

The reason why Xiao Chen found it a little hard to believe was that the Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Ganoderma to the Golden Core cultivators was like the Five-Colored Golden Lotus to the Qi Refining cultivators.

The Jadeite Infant Transformation Pill made with it as the main ingredient is a well-known elixir for breaking through levels.

"One chalcedony pattern, two... four chalcedony patterns."

Xiao Chen counted and found that these three Moon-dyed Jadeite Ganoderma had been alive for more than four hundred years, fully meeting the standards for picking.

He immediately took out the Bailu Fuliu Gloves and the sealed medicine jade box from the Hanhai Ring.

No matter what the situation is, since you have encountered it, just pick it off first.

However, before Xiao Chen could get close, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly emerged in the air, far exceeding that of a Jindan cultivator.

The one coming is Yuanying Zhenjun!

He immediately stepped back cautiously, only to see a female cultivator in white, bathed in moonlight, walking towards him barefoot in the air.

Her eyes were as bright as ink, her teeth were white with frost, her silk gauze was shrouded in mist, her jewelry seemed to shimmer with light. Her snow-white hair flowed down her sides like a cascade of silver, and a touch of cinnabar between her brows resembled a blooming red plum. As she moved with her lotus steps, the red bell wrapped around her ankle tinkled softly.

The moment she saw Xiao Chen, a trace of unconcealable surprise suddenly flashed across Su Li's originally calm eyes.

There is a fourth-level maze around the Ji'e Island. Ordinary Jindan cultivators cannot see the island at all, let alone step into it.

She has lived alone on this isolated island for a hundred years and has almost forgotten the outside world.

You can imagine how surprised he was to suddenly see a stranger.

Their eyes met in the air. Su Li was slightly startled. She saw clearly that there was no fear in the other person's eyes.

"You are quite brave."

She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was as clear and cold as an ice spring.

Su Li has the blood of the ancient witch clan flowing in his body, and was born with the curse of the [Lunar Eclipse].

Affected by the curse, in the eyes of ordinary people, her body was wrapped with twisted black and purple curse lines, and her right face was covered with spider-web-like blood scabs, making her look like an evil ghost crawling out of the depths of hell.

"Um, I'm a newcomer and didn't know you were here practicing. I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me."

Xiao Chen had the divine veil which made him immune to the curse, so he saw Su Li's true appearance and naturally did not feel afraid.

It was a bit embarrassing that I was caught picking spiritual herbs by the owner.

He knew that with his luck he could only pick up some red sandstone.

These three moon-dyed jadeite mushrooms indeed have an owner, and that owner is a Yuanying True Lord.

"How about just grabbing it and running?"

Such a thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Chen's mind.

It is almost the instinct of cultivators to seize treasures, not to mention that this is a good thing that helps to form a baby.

Now that I have seen it, there is no reason to let it go.

But the problem is that the pressure emanating from this strange Yuanying Zhenjun opposite is almost twice as strong as that of the Dai family's ancestor.

Once he snatched the Yueran Yuzuzhi away, it would be equivalent to offending the other party, as well as the forces behind the other party.

Xiao Chen thought about it and felt that he should take the initiative to leave some room for everything.

After all, similar things have happened twice before for no apparent reason, which is really annoying.

He had just arrived here, and if he offended a powerful force, he might not be able to stay in Cibei Sea anymore. He had to think of a comprehensive solution.

He glanced at the spiritual herbs and began to think of a strategy in his mind.

"Ding!"

The red bell rang, and Su Li suddenly approached.

For a moment, their cheeks were almost touching, so close that they could smell each other's scent.

She deliberately tilted her head to reveal the right side of her face, and the end of her hair almost brushed the tip of Xiao Chen's nose.

The rotten eyelids there were oozing pus and blood, and at the same time emitting a strange smell that was like the mixture of fallen flowers in late autumn and rotten leaves.

Over the years, no one has been able to see this look without being scared.

What a great speed!

This sudden explosive power was actually not weaker than that of Xiao Chen, a physical cultivator.

But the question is, what do you mean by coming here?
He was surprised by the other party's inexplicable action, and at the same time, an alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart.

Since the alias Jin Guang San Ren is no longer usable, and in order to save the consumption of true energy when crossing the Kunpeng Sea.

Xiao Chen did not maintain his disguise, but restored his true appearance.

The main reason is that logically speaking, the three major families in Jingkonghai should not have the ability to post the wanted poster here, right?
Did she recognize me?

Should I just pull out the Moon-dyed Jadeite Ganoderma and run away?
.
Doesn't this scare you?
Su Li's big eyes were filled with confusion.

Xiao Chen's unique reaction was completely inconsistent with her previous understanding.

Everyone was horrified when they saw the twisted lines on her face and the rotten flesh inside for the first time.

However, why is this Jindan cultivator in front of him so calm?
There was curiosity and vigilance in his eyes, but not the fear that Su Li was all too familiar with.

Is he really not afraid of me?

Hey, what is he looking at?
Following Xiao Chen's subconscious gaze, there were three moon-dyed chalcedony ganoderma.

Looking more closely, I saw the Bailu Fuliu gloves he was wearing.

"I see……"

Su Li's mind instantly flashed back to those figures who had tried every possible means to sneak into the island more than a hundred years ago, with evil intentions and coveting the power of witch blood.

I immediately understood that Xiao Chen must be a fellow traveler.

So you came here for this. I guess you have already found out about it in advance.

"Oh, you want the Moon-dyed Jadeite Ganoderma?"

She took two steps back, her tone carrying a hint of elusive meaning: "I can fulfill your wish. As long as you help me make a few statues, they will all be yours."

Although she felt disgust towards those who coveted power, she did not express it directly.

First of all, Su Li hasn't communicated with anyone for nearly a hundred years.

He could only confide his loneliness to a few statues that had been eroded by curses and were already in ruins.

Secondly, it would undoubtedly be a good thing if someone could help me remake a few statues.

Anyway, this guy has been infected by the curse and probably won't live for more than three days, so we might as well make the best use of him.

The horrible appearance that makes it difficult for people to see each other is just a side effect of the curse.

The real danger of the Nine Yin Disaster Spirit is that all the cultivators around Su Li will be affected by the curse.

When they were weaker in their early years, their fellow sisters and brothers would suffer from strange diseases for no reason, become restless during their training, and even go astray.

It was not until Su Li broke through the Nascent Soul stage that she officially activated the [Lunar Eclipse] spell rooted in her blood.

From then on, all the grass and trees within a radius of 100 miles withered, and even the Jindan cultivators within 10 miles would be infected and mutated to death within three days.

The strange snake had just happened to pass by underground and turned into that appearance.

"Senior, I shall follow your orders. However, I do have a small request!"

Although Xiao Chen had not yet thought of a countermeasure, the other party took the initiative to propose a deal that made him very excited.

But the fact that things were going so smoothly actually made him suspicious, and he felt that the situation was not so simple. There must be some special hidden meaning behind the conditions proposed by this mysterious senior.

However, considering the importance of the Moon-Dyed Jadeite Ganoderma, he decided to agree to the deal first.

It is just to prevent unexpected situations such as Su Li changing his mind or breaking his promise.

Xiao Chen proposed a condition: "I hope to pick a Moon-dyed Jadeite Ganoderma in advance, so that I will be more motivated to work."

Get part of the reward first, so that if anything unexpected happens in the middle, your work will not be in vain.

Upon hearing this, Su Li sneered in her heart. He was indeed a greedy person.

But she nodded: "No problem."

The Moon-Stained Jadeite Ganoderma wasn't important to her anyway. "Pick one for yourself, then go to the other side of the island and chop down two of the finest Absolute Spiritual Cloudwood for me."

Su Li finished their tasks and turned to leave. "I'll wait for you in the stone house over there. Remember, two is enough. Don't take more."

"Ding!"

The red rope shakes crisply, and the clear sound follows the wind.

Although she seemed to be walking slowly, she was already dozens of feet away after taking one step, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ok?
Leaving now?

Xiao Chen blinked his eyes and decisively decided to get the Yueran Yuzuzhi first.

He deliberately picked the one that looked the most vibrant and had the strongest medicinal properties and put it away.

Then he figured out the direction of the island and, according to Su Li's request, went to the other side of the island to look for the Jueling Chenyun Wood.

To be honest, this task was much simpler than he had imagined.

The island is full of flowers and green grass, especially the area about 100 miles from the sea, where there is a large lush forest.

This is in stark contrast to the situation here where there is no grass growing except for a few spiritual plants.

There are hundreds of Jueling Chenyun trees growing in the forest.

Xiao Chen was so stunned that he thought, do I need to do such a simple thing?
However, he quickly realized that the other party must be from a powerful force and would certainly not bother to do such rough work personally.

As the name suggests, the Absolute Spiritual Cloud Wood can effectively resist the erosion of the cultivator's spiritual power, so if you want to cut it down, you have to rely purely on physical strength, which is completely inconsistent with the style of a great cultivator.

I guess my subordinates would come to take care of the chores regularly, but this time they just happened to meet me in advance.

So he just ordered me to do it for him. This kind of behavior is not uncommon in the world of cultivation.

"Well, we are rough people anyway, so we don't mind chopping wood."

Xiao Chen took out his flying sword, held it horizontally as a saw, and started sawing while bending over.

the other side.

Su Li returned to an old and simple bluestone house on the seashore.

Quietly gazing at several dilapidated wooden sculptures placed in different positions.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the traces of curse erosion on the statue, a complex emotion revealed in her eyes.

"He went through so much trouble to break the maze and come here. He must not be a good person. He deserves to be infected by the curse."

Su Li murmured to herself, her voice as soft as the breeze, and her sigh was almost inaudible.

The slightly twisted statue before him remained silent as always.

"Senior, I'm back. What do I do next?"

In just two hours, Xiao Chen came back carrying two spiritual woods about ten feet long and placed them directly in front of the stone house.

"So fast?"

Su Li came back to her senses and looked at the fresh wood in surprise.

The Absolute Spiritual Cloud Wood is a fourth-grade spiritual wood, and it is not an easy task for a Jindan cultivator to cut it down.

She originally thought that this process would take at least two days, but she didn't expect it to be over in less than half a day.

"Who told you to come straight here?"

Su Li's expression suddenly changed: "Stay away from me and move to the beach over there."

Ok?
Didn’t you say you would wait for me in the stone house?

Xiao Chen rolled up his sleeves on the spot and picked up Jueling Chen Yunmu again: "Okay."

A real man doesn't care about trivial matters, mainly because he can't beat the opponent.

For the sake of the other two Moon-dyed Jadeite Ganoderma, I tolerated this little thing.

Su Li watched Xiao Chen retreat and sighed.

The closer you get to her, the stronger the curse becomes.

In order to allow this tool to live two more days and do more work, she'd better keep a certain distance.

"You'll be there for the next few days, helping me make the statue."

Su Li's voice came from afar: "There is a cave under the cliff. There are several portraits on the innermost wall. I carved it based on the portraits."

"As long as you can produce two qualified statues, our deal will be complete."

Of course, in reality, this is an impossible task.

Although Xiao Chen chopped wood so quickly, Su Li had guessed that he probably also practiced physical training, but the difficulty of sawing and carving was completely different.

It would be impossible to do it without four or five days.
.
To be honest, carving looks simple, but it is actually quite difficult to get started.

Although Xiao Chen had strong body control, he had never done such a thing before. In addition, the Jueling Chenyun wood was difficult to process, so the carved statue naturally did not look very good.

But it doesn't matter, because Su Li doesn't seem to care about it at all.

It is hard to imagine that a Yuanying Zhenjun only does two things every day.

The first thing was to stare blankly at the dilapidated old statue.

The second thing is to stare at the sea in the distance.

Xiao Chen was very puzzled. Are Nascent Soul cultivators so free?
Don’t you need to practice?
When he looked over there during another break, he saw Su Li still holding the already mottled statue in one hand, lost in thought.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

A dignified Yuanying Zhenjun would never neglect his cultivation. There must be some deep meaning behind doing this.

Xiao Chen observed carefully and soon realized that every time the other party was in a trance, the surrounding waves would become more rapid.

Wow, is this the method to attain enlightenment?

According to legend, there are indeed geniuses who follow the path of enlightenment, and it seems that I have met one today.

After realizing that the other party was seeking enlightenment, Xiao Chen lost his curiosity and continued to study the wood in his hand.

As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams you have. The important thing is to quickly deal with the two statues, complete the transaction and leave here.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of the flying sword striking each other rang out regularly. Su Li came back to her senses and turned to look at Xiao Chen.

It's been almost two days, the curse should be starting to take effect.

She really wanted to know how miserable this bold and greedy young man would look when he found out that he was cursed.

Did he yell in anger? Did he tremble in fear? Or did he kneel down and beg for mercy in despair?
In short, it will be hysterical.

But it doesn’t matter. No matter what the result is, I will pick all the Moon-dyed Jadeite Ganoderma and bury them with him as agreed.

"boom!"

The Jueling Chenyun Wood broke with a sound.

After all, it was just unprocessed raw material, and ultimately could not withstand Xiao Chen's rough processing method in order to save time.

Looking at the wood that broke into two pieces, he suddenly felt the true meaning of "haste makes waste".

Before, Su Li specifically emphasized that "two pieces are enough, don't take more", but now the wood is broken, what should we do?

"Forehead……"

Xiao Chen turned around and found that the other party had also looked over, so he simply asked tentatively: "Senior, can I go cut down another spiritual tree?"

I accidentally damaged the other party's wood worth thousands of spirit stones, but I don't have to pay for it, right?

"Well, you go."

Su Li's face was calm, and there was no sign of anger at all.

Very good, the other party did not care about this small mistake.

Xiao Chen skillfully went to the forest on the other side. In return, he decided to pick a thicker spiritual tree and carve a larger statue out of it.

The main purpose is to return a favor, and it is definitely not because thicker wood is easier to break.

After flying over the forest, I picked out a good target.

Xiao Chen jumped down from mid-air and stepped directly into the puddle.

Ok?
He looked down at the bloody water at his feet that was up to his knees, and at the same time felt a huge amount of energy and blood power contained in it.

As we all know, monks have spiritual awareness and can directly see most things.

However, some things will be found empty when scanned with spiritual sense, such as the natural treasures like Moon-dyed Jadeite Ganoderma, and the strange little blood pool under your feet.

The pit is not big and looks like a small puddle commonly seen in the forest.

But for some reason, it was filled with blood.

And it seemed like a living thing, trying to drill into Xiao Chen's body through his clothes.

If an ordinary monk came here, he would definitely be shocked, and would quickly escape and carefully check whether he was poisoned or had touched anything forbidden.

But Xiao Chen was not afraid at all. He even took the initiative to sit cross-legged and put both his hands into the blood.

No matter what it is, just try it and you will know. Anyway, even if there are any negative effects, you will be immune to them.

This is the confidence that the Divine Veil brings him!
"Wow~!"

The blood immediately boiled when it came into contact with the living creature.

In an instant, Xiao Chen felt a large amount of rich energy and blood rushing into his body.

But the moment it entered the body, it was as if it had suddenly lost its soul and became an ownerless object.

From this we can see two things.

First, there is indeed something wrong in the blood pool.

Second, this thing is a great tonic!

There is no need to absorb it by himself. It just rushes through the skin. Xiao Chen just needs to concentrate on absorbing it.

If there really is a shortcut to cultivation, he must be taking it right now.

I was originally worried about the slow progress of my physical training.

As a result, it only took two quarters of an hour for Xiao Chen's life pill to successfully expand the limit of true essence by three times, which was equivalent to saving ten days of hard training.

Not only that, he also felt that his total amount of Qi and blood had increased a lot.

"Hiss~, the effect is remarkable!"

Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the empty puddle, feeling a little unsatisfied.

You know, the total amount of qi and blood is more precious than the true essence in the life pill.

If the bottleneck of Dharma practice is restricted by perception, then the bottleneck of physical practice is restricted by the total amount of Qi and blood.

As long as the total amount of Qi and blood is high enough, there will be almost no bottleneck before the transformation of the spirit.

And this mysterious blood pool just now not only increases the true essence, but also can increase the total amount of qi and blood, which can be called half a miracle.

If such good things could happen a few more times, Xiao Chen estimated that his physical training progress would take off.

The question is, why is there a pool of blood here?

He checked and found that the surrounding area was just an ordinary forest, and there was almost nothing unusual about the puddle itself.

If I had to say something different, it would be that there was a strange smell at the bottom of the pit.

It smells like a strange mixture of fallen leaves and withered flowers.
