I can gather experience beads

Qingzhou. Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Cao Rui traveled hundreds of miles in one breath before slowing down.

He completely gave up using magic power to fly, and instead relied solely on his own strong body to quickly shuttle through the mountains and forests.

After all, the demons are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy, and once a cultivator uses his magic power, traces will be left behind.

Only in this way can we truly leave no trace.

Along the way, perhaps the nearby demons were attracted by the movement from Long Xinyue.

Therefore, Cao Rui did not encounter any demons.

"Speaking of which, although the Blue Hole Demon Clan has called upon 10,000 demon spirits, 100 demon generals, and 5 demon kings this time, their manpower should not be enough because the battle is spread over three states."

Cao Rui was thinking in his mind as he jumped nimbly forward in the dense forest.

His physique was now at the seventh level of foundation building, and even without relying on magic power, his speed in the dense forest was not slow at all.

He stepped lightly on the ground and jumped nimbly among the treetops. With one leap, he could cover a distance of dozens of meters.

"Senior's escape light is so fast that I felt it didn't fly for long, but I didn't expect it to cover such a long distance in an instant." Cao Rui marveled inwardly while trying to identify the surrounding environment and continued to move forward in the direction he had determined.

However, although he kept moving forward, the scene before him remained unfamiliar and he had not yet discovered any familiar places.

The only thing we can be sure of is that the direction is correct and we are approaching the Tianji Fortress.

But this is not surprising. After all, that senior is a top-level Jindan cultivator who can fight head-on with Yuanying stage cultivators and practice both magic and body. It is natural for him to have such an amazing speed of escape.

"The bodies of the demons are extremely strong. If I am unfortunately attacked by them at close range, my fragile body will not be able to withstand their attack at all."

Thinking of this, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

"It seems like it's time to start practicing body-building techniques. Only by making my body stronger can I better cope with the dangers I may encounter in the future."

At this time, Cao Rui had two books on body-building techniques in his hands.

One of them is the "Five Elements Body Refining Technique" obtained from Long Xinyue; and the other is the "Vajra Glass Body" from Tianji Fortress.

Cao Rui had carefully read the contents of these two body-building techniques.

The "Five Elements Body Refining Technique" is a technique created by Long Xinyue herself, and currently it can only be cultivated to the Golden Core Realm.

However, this technique is perfectly compatible with Cao Rui's own five elements. If it is assisted by experience beads, his practice speed will be extremely fast.

In comparison, although the "Vajra Glass Body" can be cultivated to a level comparable to the late Golden Infant stage, the difficulty of cultivation is much higher.

"Well, you can start with the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, and when your body strength is improved, you can switch to the Vajra Glazed Body. This way, you will be able to greatly reduce the time required for training."

Cao Rui pondered secretly, and at the same time took out the relevant contents of the Five Elements Body Refining Technique from his storage bag. As he jumped forward, he deeply imprinted these contents in his mind.

The Five Elements Body Refining Technique requires using the power of the five elements inside the body to temper the flesh, which is extremely challenging for most cultivators.

However, for Cao Rui, who possesses the spiritual roots of the five elements, controlling the five elements spiritual power seems extremely easy.

As he continued to move forward, he quickly built up the steps to refine the five elements of spiritual power in his body.

After several hours, the experience beads of the Five Elements Body Refining Technique had been successfully formed in his mind. He could clearly feel that his body was in a state of numbness, itching, and occasional tingling, and his body was constantly being tempered and evolving in the direction of becoming stronger.

"The progress is too fast. It seems that the Five Elements Technique created by Senior Long is indeed very suitable for cultivators with five spiritual roots. Senior Long is indeed a genius that appears once in a lifetime!" Cao Rui couldn't help but feel deeply moved in his heart.

He does not have the five innate spiritual roots. If he had the five innate spiritual roots, Cao Rui could foresee the scene where the experience points in his experience beads would increase rapidly.

.In this way, Cao Rui practiced the Five Elements Body Refining Technique while he was on the road.

He traveled through the dense forest for ten days before finally reaching the previous area.

After determining the direction, Cao continued to move forward.

It was late at night.

The full moon hangs high.

Cao Rui finally arrived at the original canyon.

"A month's time has almost come."

"Whether I can return to Yunzhou or not, Tianji Fortress is definitely the safest place for me right now."

Cao Rui used the flying skill to fly down the canyon.

Soon Cao Rui landed at the bottom of the canyon.

After some searching, Cao Rui found the huge rock that disguised the Tianji Fortress. After finding the location, Cao Rui jumped on the rock three times.

"Baozi, teleport me in quickly!" Cao Rui said silently in his heart.

The next moment, a familiar teleportation light enveloped Cao Rui.

When he came back to his senses from the teleportation and opened his eyes again, Cao Rui had already appeared in the hall of Tianji Fortress.

Baby Tianji floated over and stopped in front of Cao Rui: "Cao Rui, how have you been this month? Is the spiritual energy in Qingzhou much more abundant than that in Yunzhou?"

Cao Rui resisted the urge to slap him.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Rui said, "Qingzhou is not doing well. No, it should be said that the entire Qingqiong Realm is not doing well."

Hearing this, Tianji Baby was slightly curious: "What's wrong, Cao Rui, why did you say that?"

Cao Rui sighed: "Because the demons invaded the Qingqiong Realm and successfully constructed a teleportation array."

"Currently, the demons have successfully invaded Qingzhou, Hongzhou, and Yuzhou."

"Baby, we have to find a way to get back to Yunzhou. Otherwise, if we stay here, the demons will find us sooner or later."

Baby Tianji opened his mouth wide as he listened.

Obviously, he was also shocked by the news of the demon invasion.

“No wonder. I was wondering why there was some more messy demonic energy in the nearby spiritual energy. I thought it was due to the nearby environment, but it turned out to be an invasion by demons.” Baby Tianji said to himself.

Cao Rui frowned slightly: "Have you sensed the existence of demonic energy in the outside world?"

When Tianji Baby saw Cao Rui was about to lose his temper, he quickly smiled and said, "Cao Rui, Tianji Fortress only detected it and fed it back to me after you left. Otherwise, if I had known in advance, I would have definitely stopped you from leaving."

Cao Rui looked at Tianji baby suspiciously. Well, even though he almost encountered life-threatening danger this time, at least he also gained the benefits of the five innate spiritual roots.

"Cao Rui, please help me to advance to the Golden Core stage first. If I advance to the Golden Core stage, maybe my control over the Tianji Fortress will be able to continue to improve. I may be able to control the Tianji Fortress's ultra-long-distance teleportation array, and maybe we can return to Yunzhou together." Tianji Baby said.

Cao Rui nodded slightly. This was the only option for now.
