At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

In the end, Suri picked up the seeds carefully.

He found some blackened soil in the Forest of Steles, placed it in a ceramic wine jar, and planted the seeds that had already taken root and sprouted.

He didn't plan to feed this weird vine with his own blood. If it drank like this, it might really drink him dry! He planned to catch some wild animals and bleed them for it to drink!

Just at this moment, a bird flew over the treetop beside him. Its small body and light wings seemed to tell the magic and beauty of nature. Su Rui smiled slightly, picked up a leaf, infused it with a wisp of sword energy, and then used the hidden weapon technique to hit the leaf.

The leaf drew a graceful arc in the air, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, like a flying sword. It passed through the air and accurately hit the bird's body. With a whoosh, the leaf pierced through the bird's body like a sword, and the bird fell straight to the ground before it could even make a cry.

His move of "picking flying flowers and leaves and hurting birds without being seen" seems very natural.

After grabbing the still warm body of the bird in his hand out of thin air, he let the blood drip onto the germinated seeds from the wound made by the leaves.

It really absorbed the blood, and then the small bud that had just emerged grew a little bit longer.

This seed really grows by absorbing blood, and it is not limited to Su Rui's blood.

This made Su Rui feel relieved, but also worried. It was just a seed, but it was so ferocious. If it grew up, wouldn't it be possible to see gods killing gods and ghosts killing ghosts?

Chi Jiao, who was standing by, was also deeply attracted by the vine seed. There was a strange light flashing in his eyes, just like a child seeing his favorite toy.

Seeing this, Su Rui took out another seed that he had collected earlier, handed it to Chi Jiao, and said, "This seed is for you!"

Chi Jiao shook her head, pointing at the wine jar containing the seeds that Su Rui had created, with a sly look in her eyes. "Just let me take care of it. I want to know how big it can grow."

Su Rui was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he still happily handed the jar of wine in his hand to her and warned her: "Don't kill people indiscriminately to satisfy it!"

Chi Jiao rolled his eyes, letting Su Rui figure it out herself, then returned to the guest house where she was staying with the jar of wine.

Su Rui shrugged his shoulders and turned back to the guest house where he lived.

During this trip, he experienced a lot of things. He witnessed the power of Monk Zhiliao's invisible sword technique and the strangeness of Taoist Xueyin's blood shadow technique; he felt the pressure brought to him by the Heavenly Demon Sword and the sharp intuition of the Saint of the Naked Sect. He deeply realized his own shortcomings and realized that only by constantly improving his strength can he protect himself and the people around him.

After returning to the guesthouse, he packed up briefly, then sat cross-legged on the futon and began to practice. He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and entered a state of selflessness. In his heart, there was only a desire for strength and a vision for the future. He knew that only through continuous practice could he become stronger.

During the cultivation process, he recalled his past. He used to be an ordinary office worker who was eager to make a name for himself. After traveling through time, the road ahead deviated, which led him to embark on the path of cultivation. Although there were many opportunities along the way, there were also many challenges. Every time he encountered a desperate situation, he constantly regretted why he didn't become stronger as soon as possible. This time, he hoped to break through his own limits.

His thoughts gradually calmed down, and his heart became more determined. He knew that the road to improving strength was not smooth and required more effort and sweat. However, he was not afraid. He believed that he had enough courage and perseverance to face all difficulties and challenges. In his heart, there was only one belief, that is, to keep moving forward, constantly surpass himself, and become a real strong man.

As he practiced, his body gradually became hotter and sweat continued to pour out. His breathing became more rapid, but he did not give up and he persisted. Inside his body, a powerful force was gradually gathering. He controlled it to "conquer the city and seize the territory", opening one acupoint after another and planting a wisp of Shangqing Zhenqi to stabilize the acupoints and prevent them from closing due to insufficient stability.

The time of cultivation passed quickly, and before I knew it, night had fallen.

Su Rui opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body. He felt that his strength had improved significantly and his body became lighter. He stood up and stretched his muscles and felt that his body became more flexible and agile.

He walked out of the guesthouse and looked at the starry sky, his heart full of emotion and pride. He knew that he still had a long way to go in the future, and there were many challenges and difficulties waiting for him. However, he was not afraid, he believed that he had enough strength and courage to face everything. In his heart, there was only one belief, that is, to keep moving forward, constantly surpass himself, and become a real strong man.

I had no dreams that night.

On the second day, Su Rui and Chi Jiao were dragged to the abbot's room of Liu'an Temple by Yuan Ning.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few people sitting in the abbot's room. Some were people Su Rui had seen before, such as the monk Zhiliao, the woman from the Huashan Sect, the abbot of Liu'an Temple, etc. There were also many young men and women he had never seen before.

What surprised him most was that a familiar short figure was sitting in the seat where the abbot was supposed to sit.

Seeing this figure, Su Rui immediately bowed obediently and called out in a serious tone: "Disciple Su Qinghe pays homage to Master!" That person was Su Rui's master whom he had not seen for many days - True Man Yu'e.

"Hey, forget it, forget it, all these red tapes give me goose bumps!" Master Yu'e waved his sleeves, and a stream of true energy lifted him up. Su Rui also knew that his master hated those red tapes the most, so he followed his wishes and stood up.

"Disciple, I just got here too... I heard from that kid Yuan Ning that you had sneaked into a den of thieves a few days ago, and not only saved the young monk Zhiliao, but also saved those poor women. You have accumulated a lot of merit?" The voice of Master Yu'e was wrapped in a smile and reached Su Rui's ears.

After hearing this, Su Rui's face involuntarily flushed, and he said hesitantly: "This is what a disciple should do, it's nothing."

When Master Yu'e heard Su Rui's words, his smile widened. He nodded with satisfaction, patted Su Rui on the shoulder, and said, "Good boy, your master was right about you. However, you must also pay attention to your own safety. Your own life is the most important thing."

Su Rui nodded and said, "Thank you, Master. I understand."

Yu'e Zhenren said again: "Master came here this time because I have something important to tell you."

Su Rui couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this. He asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu'e Zhenren said, "Master, I have received news that the Bai Gu Zhenren of Baiman Mountain has been invited to take advantage of our righteous sect's unpreparedness and bully the weak with their bigness. As the leader of the Southern Demon Sect, Bai Gu Zhenren has practiced magic skills very deeply and is eccentric. He has several powerful magic weapons in his hands, especially his Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu. Even we Zhenren who have cultivated our primordial spirits are very afraid of it. In addition, many demons who usually hide in poor mountains and bad waters and in busy markets have also been invited. Although it is a small sword fight before the prologue of the Hundred Years of Sword Fighting, the sword fight has developed to this point, and the danger is no less than the real Hundred Years of Sword Fighting! Therefore, in order to teach the demons a profound lesson, Master hopes that you can sneak into the demon camp again and steal information!"

Su Rui felt a little numb after hearing this, but he still said, "Master, please rest assured. I...I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Yu'e Zhenren nodded, then took out a jade pendant and a sheepskin book from his bosom, handed them to Su Rui, and said: "There is a Qi refining method in it. I got a jade pendant early on, which recorded the true scripture of this method, but I have not been able to practice it successfully because I lacked the key secret. When I went to ask Tiantong for the Snow Soul Pearl, I also asked him for the true explanation written by the senior immortal Green Hair Zhenren. As long as you combine the true scripture and the true explanation, you will be able to practice this method successfully!"
