----------------------------------------
Four months later, a thick escaping light flashed across the void.
Qingyun Mountain still looks peaceful and peaceful, no different from when Han Changlin left.
The experience of these four months made Han Changlin, who was in Qingyun Mountain, greedily breathe the air of Qingyun Mountain.
After a long time, Han Changlin untied the formation in front of the cave and walked in. However, when he opened the door of the cave, a piece of brown talisman fell down.
Seeing this, Han Changlin's expression did not change, he just reached out to catch it, and then continued to walk inside.
As soon as he entered the cave, Han Changlin's consciousness spread out in an instant, scanning every corner of the cave to make sure it was exactly the same as before he left.
Han Changlin then came to a stone room, released the soul-eating insects, and then threw some demon-attracting grass before returning to his training room.
After cleaning up, he sat cross-legged on the futon.
Although he had only been away for more than four months this time, Han Changlin only felt that several years had passed.
Moreover, after returning, Han Changlin actually felt an inexplicable sense of stability in his heart. Perhaps in his heart, he had gradually regarded Yuling Sect as his place of belonging.
Han Changlin may not even know that these few outings have subtly strengthened his sense of belonging to the Yuling Sect.
When he came back this time, Han Changlin had already planned to continue his hard training in the Yuling Sect. After all, he had never fully understood whether it was the Soul Hidden Technique, the Extreme Burning Escape Technique, or the refining of the Star Sword Pills.
Even the Transformation Pill, he needs time to refine.
With this in mind, Han Changlin took out a True Essence Pill from his storage bag, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and began to practice.
.....
Early the next morning, Han Changlin opened his eyes from his trance, and then took out a brown-yellow talisman paper from his storage bag.
He pinched the talisman paper in his hand and shook it lightly.
The next moment, the talisman was seen burning up in an instant.
Then, big words gradually emerged in the void in front of Han Changlin.
"Junior Brother Han, if you come back, you can come to Liuyan Peak to find me."
The signature was clearly Xiang Changsen.
Seeing the writing on it, Han Changlin's face showed a look of surprise.
Then Han Changlin had no choice but to stand up, leave the cave, and fly toward Flowing Flame Peak with the Black Flame Sword.
He had been to Liuyan Peak before, so Han Changlin was familiar with the road and soon arrived in front of a tall and tall mountain.
Then I saw Han Changlin press the escape light and land on a cliff.
Not far away, there were about ten acres of spiritual fields. However, the surroundings of these spiritual fields were flashing with forbidden auras. Han Changlin could vaguely see many spiritual medicines planted in the spiritual fields.
Xiang Changsen, like himself, is an alchemist, so it is not surprising that he has cultivated a spiritual field.
In this spiritual field, most of them are planted with some first-order spiritual grass. Only the middle position, the spiritual field with the richest spiritual energy, is planted with some second-order spiritual materials.
Seeing this, Han Changlin couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
A cultivator with a different spiritual root like Xiang Changsen only possesses a small amount of second-level spiritual herbs, but he owns the Heaven-defying Immortal Mansion that can ripen the spiritual herbs.
At this moment, a surprising voice came from the stone chamber next to the spiritual field:
"Is it Junior Brother Han?"
Han Changlin naturally recognized immediately that the owner of the voice was Xiang Changsen.
The next moment, Xiang Changsen's figure emerged from the stone room and landed in front of the spiritual field opposite Han Changlin. With a gentle wave of his hand, the forbidden spiritual light on the spiritual field automatically opened a gap several feet long.
Seeing this, Han Changlin smiled slightly. His body did not move, but he floated up, crossed a distance of ten feet, and landed gently in front of Xiang Changsen.
"Senior Brother Xiang, long time no see."
Looking at Xiang Changsen in front of him, Han Changlin smiled and nodded.
...
Stone interior.
Han Changlin and Xiang Changsen sat opposite each other, and between them was the tea that Xiang Changsen had brewed before.
Cigarettes slowly,
"Come on, Junior Brother Han, please!"
Xiang Changsen said after pouring a cup of spiritual tea for Han Changlin.
Then he asked about Han Changlin's experience after disappearing.
When Han Changlin heard this, he naturally knew that Xiang Changsen would ask about his subsequent experiences.
And he had already thought of his words before he came.
He only said that he had been teleported to a very far place and was lost in a primitive forest, so he was trying to practice while searching for the direction to return to the Yuling Sect.
After searching, he happened to find a fairy city called Lan Douxian City, and he practiced there for a while. Later, he bought a few maps and found the direction to return to Yuling Sect, and finally he was able to return.
As for the various twists and turns encountered during this process and the gains from the airborne trade fair in Lan Douxian City, Han Changlin ignored it and did not mention it.
"Landou Immortal City?"
Hearing the name of this fairy city, Xiang Changsen showed a thoughtful expression on his face. It was obvious that he was very unfamiliar with the name of this fairy city.
"Isn't this Blue Dou Immortal City not within the territory of Cangzhou?"
After thinking for a while, I couldn't seem to find the name in my memory, so I asked Nagamori.
"Senior brother, have you ever heard of Feng Haizong?"
"Sealing the Sea Sect? Could it be that this Blue Dou Immortal City is within the territory of the Sea Seal Sect?"
After hearing this, Xiang Changsen showed a look of surprise on his face.
Seeing Han Changlin nod, Xiang Changsen continued:
"I heard that Feng Haizong is threatened by the endless sea all year round, and every tens or even hundreds of years, a wave will erupt, and every wave will cause Feng Haizong to suffer heavy losses."
When Han Changlin heard this, he was a little surprised. It seemed that Xiang Changsen was also quite knowledgeable. Before actually entering Lan Dou Immortal City, he didn't know about the Feng Haizong sect.
"It's no wonder. He was teleported to the Sea Feng Sect's area. That teleportation array is really powerful."
Xiang Changsen was secretly speechless.
In this way, Han Changlin didn't leave until the sun set.
But before leaving, Han Changlin gave Xiang Changsen his share of the Scarlet Flame Palace's golden elixir monk's storage bracelet.
The other was Hong Yuanji's reward. To Han Changlin's surprise, Hong Yuanji's reward turned out to be a "Marrow Nasting Pill".
You must know that this Namui Pill is effective whether it breaks through the middle stage of foundation building or the late stage of foundation building.
In addition, there are the Beauty Pills, six pills in total.
And this also made Han Changlin happy.
...
The second day.
Han Changlin woke up from trance as usual.
Logically speaking, Han Changlin should have gone to Hong Yuanji's residence to pay his respects. By the way, I would like to ask for advice on my confusion in practice.
But after chatting with Xiang Changsen yesterday, Han Changlin learned.
Not long ago, Hong Yuanji had gone on a trip due to something else, and he was not sure when he would be back. Therefore, Han Changlin was preparing to formally retreat into seclusion.
The first thing to do is to refine the Transformation Pill.
Thinking like this, Han Changlin got into the fairy mansion in the painting.
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
On this day, Han Changlin was studying the Extreme Burning Escape Technique, but at this moment, his soul suddenly experienced a wave of fluctuations.
Suddenly, Han Changlin opened his eyes, flashing with joy.
Because this wave of fluctuations came from the Golden Winged Mantis.
“I didn’t expect a breakthrough so soon.”
With this in mind, Han Changlin pushed open the door and entered a newly opened stone room.
I saw Han Changlin just entering the stone room.
Then he saw a strong, slender, golden-winged mantis, scurrying around and arriving in front of Han Changlin.
His carapace seemed to be more dazzling than before, making people afraid to look directly at it.
At the same time, his eyes became extremely sharp.
Moreover, its twin scythes were swinging in the air, which was extremely dazzling, making people dare not ignore it.
While waving, it seemed that the temperature in the stone room had dropped a lot.
At the same time, Han Changlin also discovered that the spiritual pattern on his forehead had disappeared, and instead there was a faint vertical mark.
Feeling the aura of the golden-winged mantis, there is no doubt that it is a second-level monster.
...
However, Han Changlin did not stay long.
Half an hour later, Han Changlin gave the golden-winged mantis some demon-attracting grass and told it to stabilize its realm before returning to his stone room.
In the stone chamber, Han Changlin did not continue to practice.
Now the next mana tempering of his Jade Flame Sun Art is not far away, and it can start in half a year at most.
After thinking for a while, Han Changlin thought of the soul-eating insects he had raised. During this period of time, he had almost forgotten about these little guys. Thinking of this, Han Changlin left his stone room and headed towards another stone room. Walk indoors.
Inside the stone chamber, there is a huge golden cloud, floating in a corner at the moment.
As Han Changlin pushed the door open, these soul-eating insects came to life one after another, flying around in the entire stone room, looking very excited.
There were originally about 40,000 soul-devouring worms. In order to break through the five-color spiritual light restriction issued by the city defense formation in Lan Douxian City, Han Changlin lost thousands of soul-devouring worms. Today, the number is only 35,000. about.
However, this loss was nothing to Han Changlin. Suddenly, Han Changlin sensed some negative emotions coming from these soul-eating insects. After sensing this, Han Changlin couldn't help being surprised.
After thinking about it for half an hour, Han Changlin finally remembered that Xie Bin had been introduced emphatically.
If spirit insects have not seen their master for a long time, they will feel depressed and have some negative emotions.
Once this kind of negative emotions continues to accumulate, in the end, there will even be a situation where the spirit insects kill each other. Once this situation occurs, all the hard work you have put in will be in vain.
Han Changlin recalled the solution to this situation mentioned by Xie Bin, and after a while, he began to implement it.
Another half hour has passed, and now these soul-eating insects are already showing excitement and flying around in the stone chamber.
Seeing this, Han Changlin played with them for a while, then turned around and left the stone room, returning to his own training room.
Han Changlin sat down cross-legged again, then took out a spirit beast bag and sank his consciousness into the spirit beast bag.
However, when Han Changlin saw the scene in another spirit beast bag, he couldn't help but be shocked. His face also turned the color of bitter melon. They had already devoured each other, and the few remaining spirit-eating insects were lying quietly at this moment. In the corner.
It was completely lifeless and dead, which made Han Changlin a little depressed. He originally thought that these hundreds of soul-eating insects would at least give birth to a few more advanced soul-eating insects after devouring each other.
In the end, it was all in vain. Han Changlin, who was somewhat unwilling to give up, put his spiritual consciousness in front of these lifeless insect shells and observed them carefully.
"Huh?"
After observing for a moment, Han Changlin suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that in his perception, the spiritual consciousness he possessed on these soul-devouring insects had not been cut off. Logically speaking, once the spiritual insects died, the monks would remain behind the spiritual insects. The restrictions in the soul will also disappear.
The monks can also sense it, but the lifeless insect shells in front of them are no longer alive no matter how you look at them. However, Han Changlin can still sense something through the restriction in their souls. There are slight fluctuations in the soul.
This surprised Han Changlin. Could it be that these little guys were not dead, but had entered some kind of state of suspended animation?
But this is not unusual. Spiritual insects and beasts in the world have various ways of advancement. Some of them have accumulated cultivation levels and reached a certain critical value. Then they suddenly explode and directly break through the original realm. .
Some also improve their own potential by constantly devouring other spiritual beasts. When the potential reaches a certain level, they can also break through, like the soul-eating worm.
Of course, there are also some extreme methods, such as the rebirth of a phoenix, which directly burns itself to death, regains a new life on the line between life and death, and thus breaks through itself.
The few soul-eating insects in front of me that had lost all vital signs seemed to be in a state of death.
This state of silence is also a way to break through. Once you can wake up from the state of silence, you can definitely go one step further.
But the greater probability is to die completely in this state of silence, and return to dust to dust.
Whether it is the spiritual insects and beasts raised by the monks, or the demonic insects and demonic beasts in the world, they all follow the pyramid-style breakthrough model just like human monks.
In human cultivation, from Qi refining to foundation building to golden elixir to Nascent Soul, every time a great realm is improved, a large number of monks will be eliminated, and as the realm improves, the probability of elimination becomes greater.
Even if you want to cultivate a Nascent Soul, qualifications and hard work alone are far from enough. You also need some big enough opportunities. Even Tianlinggen monks are in need.
Han Changlin looked at these soul-eating insects that were completely dead, and kept thinking in his heart. If it is really to be reborn through annihilation to achieve the purpose of evolution, then a large enough base is needed.
In terms of the combat power of a single soul-devouring insect, even if it evolves, the combat power of a single soul-eating insect is limited. Most of these spiritual insects rely on staggering numbers to achieve the effect of killing the enemy.
