From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

Chapter 25 Opening up a cave

Once he left Kuixing City, Qin Sheng took out the sea chart, looked at it, and then quickly determined the direction of Xiaohuan Island. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Xuan Tie Flying Sword and flew towards Xiaohuan Island, where Han Laomo's cave was located.

After flying to a deserted area, Qin Sheng stood on the Xuan Tie Flying Sword, patted his storage bag, and a small, exquisite bronze mirror, about the size of a palm, popped out of the storage bag and appeared in Qin Sheng's palm, gently swaying.

Qin Sheng glanced at it with fondness, then flicked his finger, sending a golden spell onto the mirror, which immediately emitted a hazy gray light.

He raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and gripped the bronze mirror tightly. He shone it towards the opposite side, and the light immediately concentrated, transforming into a gray beam as thick as a bowl, which shot out and landed on the ground below. The grass, trees, and soil on the ground petrified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, it spread to an area of ​​dozens of feet in radius.

"This blue stone mirror, crafted from Medusa's head spirit bone, is truly an extraordinary offensive magic weapon. It not only retains the petrification ability of Medusa's head spirit bone, but it can even petrify magic weapons. It's a top-tier magic weapon, and it's worth all the spirit stones I spent mixing in copper essence."

Qin Sheng toyed with the Blue Stone Mirror in his hand, recalling the scene in his mind when the old man, upon learning of the Blue Stone Mirror's abilities, watched helplessly as Qin Sheng used Elder Fang's mid-grade magic artifact to test it, only to have the Blue Stone Mirror petrify and become unusable. A slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Two days later, Qin Sheng found Xiaohuan Island using the nautical chart he had purchased on Tiandu Street.

Xiaohuan Island is about 60 or 70 miles long, with a small town on it, but the permanent population is only a few hundred.

Han Laomo's cave is also very easy to find.

On the two highest peaks of the island, which are shrouded in a misty array all year round.

It was impossible for Qin Sheng not to discover it.

However, even with his strength, he was still unable to break the formation.

After thinking it over, he decided not to take any risks. Instead, he created a hidden cave on the edge of Xiaohuan Island, dozens of miles away from Han Laomo's cave, and then returned to Douluo Continent.

Upon returning to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Qin Sheng habitually released his divine sense.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had not yet returned, Qin Sheng was not in a hurry. In any case, the other party had his tracking restriction on him, so if he dared to run away, he could just kill him later.

He first planted the medicinal herb seeds he had bought from Tiandu Street, then returned to his simple cave dwelling. Finding a spot deep within the cave, he unleashed the Xuan Tie Flying Sword and two high-grade magical artifacts he had initially purchased from Tiandu Street specifically for opening his cave dwelling. He then began to strike the mountainside fiercely.

Half a day later, a cave dwelling of considerable size began to take shape, with five or six rooms of varying sizes and a large hall covering an area of ​​over an acre.

Although the walls of the cave were still rough and hadn't been finely polished, it was at least a home.

Over the next few days, Qin Sheng used the medicinal herbs cultivated by the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill, Qi-Condensing Powder, Qingfeng Jade Dew Pill, and Injury-Stabilizing Pill according to the recipe.

During the configuration process, there were naturally many failures. Each failure made Qin Sheng feel a little pained, after all, these were all spiritual herbs that were over fifty years old, and any one of them could be sold for a lot of spirit stones.

But he knew this was inevitable, since these were all formulas he was preparing for the first time. A few failures were unavoidable.

Even the greatest alchemists make mistakes sometimes.

Qin Sheng could only console himself with this thought.

The Qi-Nourishing Pill, Qi-Condensing Powder, Clear Breeze Jade Dew Pill, and Injury-Stabilizing Pill were placed in two wooden boxes and a dozen jade bottles, respectively, before Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng was delighted to see the medicine bottles. These dozen or so bottles of Qingfeng Yulu Pills and Gushang Pills could be used for poisoning and injuries. The two boxes of Yunqi Pills and Ningqi Powder were for cultivating the Crimson Blood Divine Art to enhance his soul power. With this in mind, Qin Sheng placed the Crimson Blood Divine Art in front of him, swallowed a Yunqi Pill and a Ningqi Powder, and began cultivating the Crimson Blood Divine Art.

After just one complete cycle, Qin Sheng felt a burning sensation throughout his body.

Immediately, he focused on two things at once, activating the magical power within his body, and the burning sensation gradually subsided.

However, this is not a good solution, as it is too mentally taxing.

After thinking for a moment, he simply left the cave and sat cross-legged at the milky white end of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. With the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's cold spring, Qin Sheng discovered that even without using magic to protect his body, the burning sensation produced by the Crimson Blood Divine Art would disappear.

And so, three days passed in a row, with Qin Sheng spending them cultivating the Crimson Blood Divine Art.

On the fourth day, he finally felt the bottleneck of the first level of the Crimson Blood Divine Art. No matter how many pills he took to refine it, he could not make any further progress.

Qin Sheng knew that this was the suppression of the rules of Douluo Continent. If he wanted to continue to improve, he had to obtain a spirit ring first.

So he simply teleported to the hidden cave he had opened on the small island in the mortal world, broke through to the second level, and then returned to take pills and practice the Crimson Blood Divine Art. Whenever he encountered a bottleneck due to the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth, he would go to the small island in the mortal world again. More than half a year passed in this way.

With the aid of a large number of pills, Qin Sheng quickly broke through to the fourth level of the Crimson Blood Divine Art.

Qin Sheng stood up, raised his right hand, held his breath and concentrated. The Crimson Blood Divine Art soul power, combined with the Human Emperor Banner martial soul, slowly rose from his palm, and the Human Emperor Banner, radiating blood-red dark clouds, slowly appeared.

"This Emperor's Banner has actually merged with the Crimson Blood Divine Art, and I can also sense that the power of the fourth level of the Crimson Blood Divine Art is much deeper than recorded in the manual. It seems that there is still a fundamental difference between mortal martial artists and Soul Masters of Douluo Continent. Even if they cultivate the same techniques, Douluo Continent is still a fantasy world, and the lower limit of Soul Power is there. It cannot be compared with Internal Force."

Qin Sheng was very satisfied with this conclusion.

At this moment, Dugu Bo finally returned.

Qin Sheng released the formation and let him in.

"It seems you have already detoxified your son."

This was the first thing Qin Sheng said to Dugu Bo after they met.

At this time, Dugu Bo's hair had returned to black, and except for his eyes, the green color of his body had basically faded away.

He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "All of this is thanks to the pills bestowed by Master. In addition, I spent half a year searching for two soul bones according to Master's instructions. Now the poison in this old servant and Xin'er's bodies is no longer a problem."

If Dugu Bo was forced to serve Qin Sheng before, then he is now doing so willingly.

This not only saved his son's life, but also ensured that his path of cultivation would never be affected again.

I believe that in another twenty years at most, he will be able to reach the Title Douluo realm.
