Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 63: Surrounded by Lions: What use are wood-based spells?

The benefits that can be gained from tempering the body in the Flame Pool depend mainly on how much fire the cultivator can withstand and how long he can stay in the pool water.

The longer you soak in it and the shorter the rest time outside, the better.

Generally speaking, the closer to the inner layer of the pool water, the better the effect, but the more violent the fire it contains, and the shorter the time you can stay.

Therefore, choosing a position with the highest overall efficiency can achieve the best improvement.

But the magical thing is that Lin Ping'an actually found a special small lake in a corner, and the fire in it was relatively mild.

Xiao Chen also followed and took advantage of the benefits of this special pool.

He had absorbed the Fire Spirit Crystal before, which naturally gave him an extra layer of resistance to fire, so most of the fire could not penetrate his body.

There is also the Fire Transformation Sutra to help absorb the invading fire energy, plus this special pool.

When you soak in the water, you can hardly feel any pressure.

Every two quarters of an hour, Lin Ping'an needs to go out to meditate and regulate his breathing for three quarters of an hour to relieve the heat in his body.

When he was regulating his breathing for the second time, Xiao Chen was concentrating on guiding the fire energy to temper his body.

When he was regulating his breathing for the fourth time, Xiao Chen was using the fire energy to comb his meridians.

When he was regulating his breathing for the sixth time, Xiao Chen was squinting his eyes and enjoying the hot spring.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ping'an was curious at first, then gradually became surprised, then shocked, and finally slowly became numb.

Rumor has it that this Junior Brother Xiao has wood spiritual roots, but he has serious doubts about this.

This should be a fire spirit, right? Why?

Just when Lin Ping'an was doubting his life, Xiao Chen finally stood up from the lake.

Lin Ping'an was shocked. Could it be that Junior Brother Xiao could no longer bear it?

However, Xiao Chen did not go ashore. Instead, he just adjusted his position and sat cross-legged in the lake, leaving only his head above the water.

In addition to tempering the body and repairing hidden injuries in the body, these two significant functions, the Flame Pool can actually accelerate the circulation of spiritual energy.

Xiao Chen didn't have any hidden injuries in his body, so he didn't need to rest.

So he decided to take this opportunity to practice the magic he had just acquired.

Lin Ping'an felt the disturbance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nearby, and his whole body became numb.

He quietly walked around to the other side of the lake and continued to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Soon it was the last day.

The lakeside, which was originally empty, was now covered with barbed thorns.

The emerald green brambles extended deep into the lake and gathered behind Xiao Chen, just like his hair.

"Wow!"

Xiao Chen stood up, and a large number of brambles emerged from the water, twisting and spreading in the air.

As he turned his gaze, the brambles became like living things, stabbing and slashing, baring their fangs and claws towards that direction.

This is the wood-based spell among the five spells in the palace - the Green Thorn Spell.

Lin Pingan stood fifty feet away and said, "Brother Xiao, it's time for us to return."

Xiao Chen dispersed his magic power, and the bramble immediately lost its power, fell to the ground, and was quickly dried up by the nearby fire.

He went ashore to dry off the moisture and stretched himself. "I feel good. Senior Brother Lin, let's go."

Lin Pingan immediately corrected him: "Senior Brother Xiao is too polite. In the cultivation of Taoism, the one who achieves the highest level comes first. You can just call me Junior Brother."

The route he took back was different from the one Xiao Chen had taken before. It seemed that there were multiple paths in the secret realm.

Along the way, as expected, we encountered two-headed lions several times.

But today is different from the past.

Xiao Chen only needed to stretch out his hand and point, and thorns would fly out from his fingertips and tightly wrap around the two-headed lion.

With a slight wave of his hand, he strangled the two-headed lion into dozens of pieces.

Seeing this, Lin Pingan couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Senior Brother Xiao, before you came here, had you already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

"The ninth level of Qi refining?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "Before coming to the secret realm, I had only cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining."

Lin Pingan looked at Jing Tiao, his big eyes full of doubt: "Brother, are you really only at the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

Xiao Chen added: "I encountered a Flame Spirit Crystal on another road before."

Upon hearing this, Lin Pingan fell silent.

He was in deep pain. Others thought he always found rare treasures, but who knew that every time he read a fortune, he had to pay a huge price.

Then he smiled with relief.

He sighed, "Everyone says I'm lucky, but if I were to ask myself, it's Senior Brother who truly has great fortune." Xiao Chen said modestly, "Not at all. Junior Brother Lin has also received a very suitable inheritance this time. He will surely be able to turn misfortune into fortune in the future and has a bright future."

They both felt relaxed and at ease.

On the other side, Ye Fei and others were fighting a tough battle.

Unlike ordinary disciples, since they have come here, they naturally want to obtain some fire crystals in the secret realm and take them back.

First of all, the Fire Crystal can be used as a spirit stone.

Secondly, you can also give it to your relatives and friends as a special gift.

After experiencing the initial setbacks, they carried out a simple body tempering in the fire pool closest to the inner side and adapted themselves to the environment within the secret realm.

Then they gathered together again, found several more fellow apprentices who were interested in entering the inner layer, formed a large team of twenty people, and began exploring again.

These people can be considered the elites of Lihuomen.

They learned from their previous experience and prepared magical weapons and water spells as their main means of attack from the beginning.

At the same time, the method of concentrating flying swords and defeating them one by one was adopted.

Under Song Zhongwen's orderly command, they successfully dealt with the guardian spirit beast at the entrance and entered the inner layer.

But soon, they discovered that the fire crystals at the inner entrance had been dug out.

So the team decided to go deeper, but ended up being surrounded by the beasts again and trapped in a narrow cave entrance.

This is a naturally formed cave, the entrance of which can only accommodate two two-headed lions approaching side by side at the same time.

After losing four adult two-headed lions, the remaining thirty or so two-headed lions outside also chose to surround them.

"How about it, can we dig it up from the back?"

Liu Shiqing, who was in charge of guarding the cave entrance, asked with concern.

Jiang Cungang shook his head helplessly: "We've tried everything. This is a mine. We can only pry it out bit by bit with the flying sword."

"Today is the last day. We've only dug out a little over ten feet. It's probably too late."

Chen Guangyu was very panicked: "What should we do? If we can't get out by the time the deadline comes, we will be locked up here for fifty years. That means we will definitely die."

Song Zhongwen ordered everyone to stop digging and take turns to rest: "Yuan Peng, you come and rest too, I'll guard the door."

At the same time, he tried to maintain a firm tone: "At this point, we have no way out. We must take the initiative to break through."

"In order to leave enough time for safe evacuation, we cannot wait until the last moment."

"One hour. If the lions don't disperse in another hour, we will force our way out."

Su Yuanpeng asked, "What is the specific sequence of action? How are we going to fight this time?"

Song Zhongwen thought for a moment and made the distribution: "The left side has the fewest adult lions. All those who know swordsmanship should concentrate on the left side and open a gap as quickly as possible."

"Finally, follow the gap and break out freely. Whoever can escape will be saved."

Chen Guangyu became anxious at that time.

His cultivation level was low, and if he broke out freely, his chances of survival would be very small. "How can this be possible? Without someone to cover the rear, wouldn't the formation be in chaos?"

Song Zhongwen remained silent. The formation was disrupted, which was of course part of the breakout plan.

If they don't, they won't be able to leave.

The others quickly understood the situation and lowered their heads, each with their own thoughts. The atmosphere instantly became very tense.

When it really comes to a life-or-death situation, it depends on who has better luck.

An hour passed quickly, and the number of lions outside did not decrease at all.

Song Zhongwen coughed lightly and took out a stack of talismans: "Ahem, fellow disciples, we are out of time."

"I have some wooden vine talismans and earth shield talismans here, which is just enough for each person to get two. Let's make do with them. I hope we can meet again behind the bridge."

Chen Guangyu was under too much pressure and mocked him directly: "It's not like we haven't tried it before. The secret realm is full of fire, and the wood vine technique has no effect at all."

"What use is this talisman?"

"What good can wood spells do?"

Song Zhongwen just looked at him coldly, and did not choose to argue. He still put two talismans in each person's hands.

At this moment, the lion group outside suddenly became agitated.

There were bursts of roaring sounds.

Everyone rushed to the cave entrance and saw dozens of emerald green thorns in the distance, covering the entire area.

The two-headed lions pounced and were quickly wrapped into emerald green balls.

At the same time, more thorns shot out from the ball.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and then many people turned around and looked at Chen Guangyu.
