Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 238 You can question my character, but you can’t doubt my mind

"Ding!"

The red bell rang, and Su Li sat on the rocks by the sea as usual, stepping on the waves barefoot.

The difference is that now her eyes are always focused on the young man who is meditating and practicing in the distance.

For at least nine hours every day, the other party is busy practicing various different skills.

There wasn't much time to talk.

However, Su Li was very impressed. After all, most cultivators were simply unable to achieve such concentration.

In her early years, she had tried asceticism, but she was unable to persist for such a long time every day.

Xiao Chen looks young, but he has practiced both magic and physical skills and has achieved remarkable accomplishments in both. This may be related to his persistence.

Su Li sometimes even felt that it was quite nice to be so focused on practicing.

In a blink of an eye, it was the full moon night again. Normally, she should have suppressed her condition in advance.

But today is an exception. The two have agreed to use another method to solve the lunar eclipse curse.

"Hoo~!"

Xiao Chen looked up during his practice and saw that it was already the beginning of the hour of Hai.

So he slowly straightened out his breath and ended today's training early.

Thanks to the abundant supply of Yuan Dan, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Sea of ​​Compassion, plus two third-level spiritual fruits and a bowl of white jade small green dragon as support every day.

Although he has reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, Xiao Chen still maintains an extremely fast cultivation speed of expanding one line of true energy every two days.

This speed is more than a hundred times faster than that of ordinary Jindan cultivators.

But when he turned around and looked behind him, he saw Su Li who seemed to be in a daze again.

Xiao Chen still expressed envy from time to time. He now knew that the other party was not trying to comprehend the world, but did not need to practice at all.

But it doesn't matter, he can get another blood crystal tonight.

The two walked side by side to the center of the island and waited for midnight to arrive.

For some reason, Su Li felt a strange sense of anticipation in her heart.

Clearly, in the past, the last thing she wanted to face was a lunar eclipse, and clearly, she hadn't found a way to lift the curse yet.

"Hmm~!"

Su Li groaned and subconsciously covered his heart with his hand.

The moonlight at midnight penetrated the sparse clouds and fell directly on the island. The witch blood in her body was immediately awakened and began to boil uncontrollably.

In this process, she passively underwent a body-building exercise.

The hot blood flowed through his limbs and bones, strengthening his body, but also bringing pain like being poured with boiling oil.

The familiar severe pain made Su Li tremble slightly. As her emotions fluctuated, the ground bulged and datura flowers broke out of the soil.

A strong wind blew, and flower petals flew all over the sky.

"It's no use?"

Xiao Chen held her hand and frowned slightly.

Originally, he was thinking about whether he could use the Divine Veil to directly end the lunar eclipse, but now it seems that it is not very effective.

As a passive ability, it only works on oneself and cannot interfere with others.

"Su Li?"

"Shh~!"

A soft body suddenly bumped into Xiao Chen's arms, and the two hugged each other under the moonlight.

Even through the feather robe, he could clearly feel Su Li's hot body temperature.

The domineering power of the lunar eclipse, along with the burning body temperature, was transmitted into Xiao Chen's body, and then dissipated into nothingness in an instant.

The endless power of the lunar eclipse disappeared, directly affecting the effect of the curse.

The wind around suddenly calmed down, and the datura flowers on the ground stopped growing and even began to wither prematurely.

Su Li's body temperature also dropped rapidly. Although she was still a little hot, it was much better than before.

"If you can't bear too much of the curse's power, you can tell me."

Su Li raised her head slightly: "Don't push yourself too hard."

The reason why she said this was because when the two of them were talking to each other before, they inevitably mentioned why Xiao Chen could resist the lunar eclipse.

Of course, I can’t tell you the real reason.

So Xiao Chen had an idea: "People's physiques cannot be generalized."

"I once accidentally discovered that I seemed to be born immune to various curses. Perhaps I have some hidden bloodline."

Most people might not believe this vague statement. Is there such a physique?
But Su Li was willing to believe it because her Nine Yin Disaster Spirit Body was also rare in the world.

"Well, I'm actually fine."

Xiao Chen subconsciously looked away: "Don't worry about me, no matter how much curse power there is, it won't be a problem."

A ray of moonlight, as if substantial, descended from the distant sky.

The witch clan heritage that had been sealed in Su Li's bloodline for millions of years was reopened.

Perhaps because the power of the curse has been weakened, this part that used to be a splitting headache has become much more bearable.

A large number of images flashed before Su Li's eyes, but compared to the original dizzying speed, it had slowed down to only one-fifth.

"what?"

Xiao Chen was a little stunned. Just now, some images appeared vaguely in front of his eyes.

Hallucination?

impossible!
Could it be that?
He tried to hold the person in his arms tighter, and the images became clearer.

Xiao Chen immediately began to concentrate on memorizing the information described in these pictures.

This is an ancient heritage!
Not to mention now, even back then, not everyone was qualified to obtain this super secret.

Even a brief understanding can bring significant benefits.

First of all, stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

Secondly, at least it would be helpful to broaden my horizons and learn some secrets of cultivation.

It's always a good thing to learn more about various secret knowledge, as you never know when it may come in handy.

The two were immersed in the inherited memories and chose to ignore the sound of the blood crystal falling to the ground.

After all, it is important to look at the inheritance first. There is no one else here anyway, and it won’t be lost if you pick it up later.

Under the bright moonlight, scenes passed by.

The Moon Witch Clan, Moon Worship Ceremony, Receding Spiritual Energy, Witch Tomb, Witch Disaster...

History thus revealed the tip of the iceberg, which is the whole story of a race from weakness to prosperity and then to decline.

But for Xiao Chen, he didn't care about most of the content.

Only two things were more important and attracted his attention.

The first thing is the moon worship ceremony, also known as the eclipse curse.

For the Moon Witch clan, this is the most important gathering of the month and also an opportunity for advancement among the clan members.

A blood crystal formed by the saint condensing the moonlight.

It can greatly increase the concentration of qi and blood of the user, and also bring an opportunity to sublimate the blood.

Generally speaking, only the strongest warriors or the most promising and outstanding descendants in the tribe can receive blood crystals as rewards.

In other words, if the ritual is performed correctly, it is not a curse but a grand event.

Realizing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, was Su Li born at the wrong time?

If she had been born in that era, she would not have had so many problems and would have received the best care.
.
The second thing is Wuling.

It is closely related to lifting the curse.

The moon worship ceremony requires a special item called a witch weapon.

Its function is to suppress the curse power in the body of the saint on a normal day, and concentrate it on the day of the moon worship ceremony to burst out uniformly, so as to condense a blood crystal with better effect.

Although the magic weapon cannot directly lift the curse, its importance to Su Li is obvious.

With the demise of the witch clan, the witch weapons were naturally lost long ago.

Nowadays, there is only one place where witchcraft tools may still be found, and that is Wuling - the place where the high priest of the Moon Witch clan was buried.

"I didn't expect to find a clue so quickly."

Xiao Chen lowered his head slightly, but did not see the expected joy: "What's wrong, you don't seem very happy?"

It was already daybreak, and the eclipse curse had ended.

The morning light shone on Su Li's fair cheeks, but it could not smooth out the worry between her brows.

She raised her head slightly. "Although I couldn't see the images clearly before, after experiencing so many lunar eclipses, I already knew about the witchcraft weapons."

Ok?
Then didn't you tell me earlier?
Xiao Chen was a little surprised: "Is there any problem here?"

Su Li pursed her lips and said, "Wu Ling is very far away, and it is very difficult to obtain witchcraft weapons."

She shook her head slightly, obviously a little lost.

Ok?
Xiao Chen blinked his eyes. What's next?
You say the words!

It's so damn difficult, can you at least tell me what's so difficult about it?
"I can help you find the magic weapon."

Xiao Chen asked seriously: "Just tell me what you need to prepare."

There's no need to come up with any other legitimate reasons. Just the fact that the magic weapon can produce blood crystals with better effects makes there's no reason for him not to take it.

By the way, it can also solve the problem of curse, which is really a great thing that kills two birds with one stone!

Su Li was stared at by him and explained softly, "The previous inherited memory said that this was to ensure that no one could enter the Wuling Mausoleum and offend or blaspheme the high priest."

"After the Wu Mausoleum was built, a blockade was set up around the outer area."

"Among them are voodoo and traps, and the most powerful method is the Burial Abyss Evil."

"The Wuling Tomb is located in an extremely remote abyss, a place where evil energy accumulates."

"After so many years, the evil spirit inside has probably become too thick to be handled."

After saying that, Su Li glanced at Xiao Chen quietly and immediately saw the surprise in his eyes.

This reaction was normal and she could completely understand it.

Evil spirits are inherently difficult to deal with, and usually only demonic cultivators will actively seek them out, while the rest of the cultivators would rather stay away from them.

So Su Li took the initiative to smile and said, "It doesn't matter, actually."

"Now with your help, we can find another way."

However, she saw that Xiao Chen was staring at her cheek, the surprise in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a look of determination.

"Don't say anything more."

"Just tell me, where is the address?"

Su Li felt warm at the thought, but she still advised, "You don't have to take risks there just for me."

……

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

How can I explain to Su Li that I am not actually afraid of evil spirits?

He thought about it and simply changed the subject: "Are you willing to believe me?"

This trick really works.

Su Li no longer insisted, and carefully recalled and recounted the inheritance scenes she had seen before.

Although there is no specific written record, it can be roughly inferred that it is located in the northwest corner of the Sea of ​​Compassion.

There are two main reference points. One is that Wuling was deliberately built in the sea abyss in order to preserve the evil spirit, that is, at the bottom of a large rift valley in the sea.

Although there are many such terrains, they are not particularly numerous.

If you really can't find it, even if you use the elimination process to search one by one, it will only take a little more time.

The second is that there is a place where stars fall near Wuling.

The so-called "fallen star site" is, to put it bluntly, a place where meteorites have fallen. Construction work was halted for a period of time due to this.

Therefore, we can infer that Wuling is within the impact range of the meteorite.

“It’s definitely not close.”

The Ji'e Island where Xiao Chen is now is located in the southwest of the Mercy Sea. After all, this was a remote place that was specially selected.

In other words, he had to cross almost the entire Mercy Sea before he could reach the vicinity of Wuling.

This round trip will definitely take a lot of time, probably months.

"After I refine the blood crystal, shall we go find Wu Ling together?"

Xiao Chen directly suggested: "At worst, we can just walk around outside and avoid the other wandering cultivators."

Su Li rejected the suggestion: "No, I swore an oath that I will never leave here until the curse is lifted."

"Besides, don't forget, there is a monitoring formation outside."

She gave a bitter smile: "If I trigger the formation, in a few days, you should be able to see the Yuanying Zhenjun half of the Mercy Sea."

"If we are lucky enough, we might even be able to witness the true appearance of the God-Transforming Mighty One."

hiss~!

Are you so proud?
To be honest, Xiao Chen really wanted to pat his chest and say that a mere ant in the state of transformation into a god was nothing.

But for the time being, he still has a long way to go to reach Yuanying Zhenjun.

"Don't think so much!"

Su Li took the initiative to persuade him, "Let me help you sacrifice the blood crystal."

She bent down and picked up the blood crystal. As the Moon Witch Saint, she was the only person who could directly touch the blood crystal without being corroded by the energy and blood inside.

So as long as she held the blood crystal, she would touch Xiao Chen briefly before taking it away.

By repeating this process continuously, you can control the power of Qi and blood and reduce the difficulty of refining.

Compared to swallowing one purple gold Bodhi fruit each time, this is undoubtedly better.

With Su Li's help, the refining process went very smoothly.

As the last bit of Qi and blood power was completely refined, Xiao Chen's body once again had a full eighty-two more true essences.

The reason why the amount of true energy added this time is smaller.

This was because in the middle of the refining process, his life elixir reached the perfection of the early stage of the golden elixir.

So Xiao Chen made a concerted effort to directly reach the middle stage of the Golden Core in the body refining path. During the breakthrough process, part of the Qi and blood power in the blood crystal was also consumed.

Thanks to the increase in qi and blood concentration, I finally broke through without much effort.

"Congratulations on the breakthrough!"

Su Li tilted her head and praised, "On behalf of the Moon Witch Tribe, I recognize you as the most powerful warrior in the tribe!"

In the entire cultivation world, perhaps only Xiao Chen could understand what she was saying.

The saint and the priest must be from the witch clan, but the warriors of the Moon Witch Tribe are not necessarily from the witch clan.

In ancient times, there were warriors who cooperated with the saint in order to obtain blood crystals and joined the tribe midway.

Xiao Chen followed the inherited memory and performed the movements of the Moon Worship Ceremony by hitting his chest with his fist.

"Thank you for the compliment, Saint Lady!"
.
Early the next morning, it was just dawn.

Xiao Chen was already ready to set off to find Wu Ling and retrieve the magic weapon.

As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

As a practitioner, he knows exactly what he should do and will not be overly entangled or even torn.

Su Li agreed with this: "Of course it doesn't matter to me."

"We've been here for over a hundred years, so a few months won't make a difference."

"As for you, you must be careful on the road and never take risks just to save time."

Xiao Chen nodded: "Don't worry, I don't have any other advantages, but I cherish my life very much."

Some things may seem dangerous to outsiders.

In fact, for him, he will only do it if he is absolutely sure.

"Then we have an agreement!"

Su Li turned and went into the stone house: "Don't leave yet, wait for me."

Then she actually took out a wooden box made of absolute spirit Shenyun wood, and inside it was another small wooden box of the same kind.

"Take this thunder bead with you. If you encounter danger, it may be able to help you."

Ok?
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "You may not know that my Fire Condensing Palm is more useful than this."

Unless it is a fifth-order thunder bead, it cannot harm the Yuanying True Lord at all and can only be used against Jindan cultivators.

It's not that he is conceited. Now, there should be few people within the Jindan realm who can be his match.

Therefore, Xiao Chen subconsciously waved his hand: "No need, I..."

Halfway through his words, he looked at Su Li's expectant eyes and changed his tone: "It's actually quite good, I'll accept it."

The Hanhai Ring is so big that it doesn’t need this little space.

Why should I refuse her kindness?

"Xiao Chen!"

Seeing him about to leave using his escape technique, Su Li couldn't help but ask, "Will you come back?"

Logically, she shouldn't have had to worry, but she waited a hundred years to meet him.

"Do not worry!"

Xiao Chen turned around and answered very seriously: "Of course I will come back!"

After saying that, he added with a smile: "You can question my character, but you can't doubt my mind."

"You saw it last night. The blood crystal is of great benefit to me. There's no reason for me not to come back."

This is a very good reason.

At the same time, this was also what Xiao Chen really thought. Even if it was just to get more blood crystals, he would definitely come back.

He has already thought out the overall plan for the future.

The first thing is to find Wu Ling and collect the evil spirits.

Then bring the magic weapon back to Silent Island to suppress the curse and enhance the effect of the blood crystal.

Finally, with the help of the blood crystal provided by Su Li, he broke through the Nascent Soul stage and returned to the Storm Sea to destroy the Yinshi Sect.

Compared with Xiao Chen’s previous action plans, this plan is simpler.

The main reason was that he was new here and was completely clueless.

Although I learned some information about the Sea of ​​Mercy through Su Li, I still don’t have much information.

There are no conditions to formulate a detailed action plan.

Just keep everything simple and rely on yourself to improvise in the middle.

After leaving Ji'e Island, Xiao Chen flew towards the northeast, preparing to head to his first target location, Cangming Market.

The reason why he didn't go directly to the north was because he had to buy a sea chart first, and it would be best if he could also buy some simple intelligence about the various forces.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

Only by understanding the specific situation of the Mercy Sea can he plan his own course of action.

Otherwise, if you head directly north, you might encounter dangerous areas like frost and fog along the way. Not only will you be in danger, but it will also waste more time.

In addition, some sea areas may face blockade by a certain force.

For example, the right protector of the Fubing Sect was in Fenghai. If you accidentally entered it, you might get into a lot of trouble.

It’s better to avoid these places from the beginning.

Although Cangming Market is the gathering place closest to Ji'e Island.

However, Xiao Chen still walked for two full days, and only saw this extremely large island at noon on the third day.

Or more accurately, this large group of islands.

As a super market built by the Cangming Immortal Sect, many disciples have been transporting large amounts of earth and rocks from far away for thousands of years.

Over time, seven medium-sized islands were forcibly created in several shallow water areas.

The smallest subsidiary island is two hundred miles long and more than sixty miles wide.

The largest central island is based on the original small island and has expanded to a length of 800 miles and a width of 500 miles.

There are tens of thousands of monks living on this group of islands alone all year round.

No matter what time of day, as long as you look up at the sky, you can always see lights of different colors flying around and landing in the designated area.

Of course, there are no-fly zones here, so you need to walk through most areas.

As soon as Xiao Chen landed at the port of the central island, many cultivators surrounded him.

Someone has already taken the initiative to approach the foundation-building cultivator who landed next to him.

"Are you here to do business, fellow Daoist? I'm very familiar with this area and I'm sure I can lead you to the shop that suits your needs best."

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to try the special spiritual food here? I know all the restaurants in the entire market like the back of my hand."

"Fellow Daoist, there are several new sisters on the island who are both talented and beautiful. They are all very charming. I can introduce them to you for a small fee."

The master who built the foundation had been on his way.

After hearing the last sentence, he hesitated for a moment, then picked a gorgeously dressed female cultivator and left together.

Some people were also staring at Xiao Chen, but due to his Jindan stage aura, few dared to approach and talk to him.

The main reason is that I am not sure about his temper, and I am afraid of meeting a senior who behaves eccentrically and has a bad temper.

Before, some people took the initiative to squeeze in front of the Jindan cultivator in order to attract customers.

As a result, he was beaten half to death by the other party on the grounds of offense.

In the end, since no one was killed, the market only sent a bottle of healing medicine and ended the matter hastily without any further action.

Of course, some people have come up with countermeasures.

A thin young man with a clever look in his eyes was standing at the back of the crowd, holding up a sign with the word "Guide" written on it and waving it continuously.

Trying to attract Xiao Chen's attention.

I have to say, this is indeed a good idea.

"come over!"

Xiao Chen waved at him and said, "Do you know where I can buy or sell information?"

If he had just arrived in Cibeihai and came here, he would be happy to spend some time to stroll around and ask for some information on the street.

But I don’t have the time right now, so I’d better find a local guide directly, which won’t cost many spirit stones.

I chose him because of his cleverness.

"I know everything. Please come this way, senior!"

The other person hurried over to lead the way, and introduced himself as they walked: "My name is Guo Pan, you can just call me Shitou."

"There are two main companies selling intelligence on the island: Cangming Tower and Lingtong Pavilion."

"Which one would you like to go to?"
