East Lingze, sunset jungle.
In this place where ferocious beasts roam everywhere, a young man wearing a moon-white satin gown holds a Shura Blood Blade that glows red and hunts ferocious beasts tirelessly.
Every time he kills three or five monsters, he will always get a beast soul. The young man seals these beast souls in a three-foot-high gray soul flag, making the soul flag gradually grow in size.
One day, two days, three days, as time passed day by day, half a month passed, and the blood evil aura on the young man became stronger and stronger! It can scare away ordinary third-level monsters from a distance.
If he encounters a ferocious beast that is not afraid of death, the young man wearing a moon-white satin gown will often perform a series of gorgeous combat skills, or a dazzling Taoist bombardment, and he will be killed instantly!
In fact, with his current proficiency in combat techniques and Taoism, he can definitely kill with one strike! But he seemed to regard all these ferocious beasts as tools to test his Taoist skills and improve his combat power, in order to use the Taoist skills a few more times and spend more mana.
Only by consuming his mana quickly can he swallow the top-grade Ruyi Divine Transformation Pill. While replenishing his mana, the elixir will temper his body and strengthen his body, gradually improving his cultivation level.
On the nineteenth day when this young man came to the Sunset Jungle, he killed six third-level demon bears and eight black-winged demon bats one after another, and finally broke through from the eighth level of Qi training to the ninth level! Even the bloody aura emanating from all over his body became even more astonishing!
"Nine levels of Qi training! I have been waiting for this day to come for a long time!"
Shura's bloody blade penetrated the ground diagonally, and the young man wearing a moon-white satin gown looked up to the sky and roared, the sound shaking the mountains and forests!
After a long time, the young man took out an oval pebble formation disk, covering an area of ten feet in radius. A look of determination flashed in his cold star-like eyes: "The three star crystals on the Xingzhai Cliff in the Immortal Mansion have been restored. Now. The Maple Bridge Town Competition is imminent, I should put my entire soul body into the Immortal Mansion Jade Pendant, absorb the majestic spiritual energy of the Star Crystal, and strive to reach the perfection of the Qi training period in one fell swoop!"
The young man sat cross-legged and meditated in the light curtain of the cobblestone array, immersed in the jade pendant of the Immortal Palace and bathed in the brilliance of the star crystal.
Time passed bit by bit, and the young man was like an old monk entering samadhi, enjoying an unprecedented leap in cultivation in the sunset jungle!
In the afternoon, a few slanting sunlight leaked through the gaps in the leaves, hitting the phantom light screen of the cobblestone array, exuding a faint mist, making the area within a ten-foot radius look like a mist.
In the quiet and deserted sunset jungle, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps and the pleasant sound of jingling rings.
The elegant woman at the head looked around with big eyes flickering, and sighed: "It seems that we are a step late. There are corpses of monsters along the way. It was obvious that they were killed by the team of monks who came first, but The strange thing is that no one collects materials from the monster beasts, it’s really puzzling!”
The person who came was none other than Lu Xinmei, the third young lady of the Lu Cultivation Family. After looking at it for a long time, she still looked confused.
Lu Xuezhu, who looked dull, nodded silently. No matter how rich the Lu family was, they would not just watch the corpses of these monsters rot. They would always collect some valuable monster materials.
Behind the Lu family's team came a group of monks who had practiced in the East Lingze Grand Canyon.
They only left the Grand Canyon in the past few days and headed south to the Sunset Jungle, but it was difficult to find traces of monster beasts. This made them think that there were not many monster beasts in the Sunset Jungle at all.
The female nuns of the Fengchi Sect who were very close to the Lu sisters sighed one by one and finally made the long journey to the Sunset Jungle. Who would have expected that this would be the result. It was equivalent to running in vain and not having experienced anything in the end.
Bai Qiu, the elder sister of the Fengchi Sect, sighed lightly and said, "That's all. In four days, there will be a grand competition for qi training disciples in Fengqiao Town. It's time for us to go back and prepare for the competition so as to reassure the sect leader and elders."
"What Senior Sister Bai Qiu said is that it's at least two thousand miles away from here to Maple Bridge Town. We can't fly with weapons, so we'll inevitably have to trek through mountains and rivers again. It's time to go back!"
The chirping shouts of these female cultivators did not affect the young man in a moon-white satin gown dozens of feet away at all.
He was still meditating quietly cross-legged in the hidden elliptical magic array.
"Huh? The mist here is very strange! Even though it is under the sunlight, there is still a faint layer of mist."
Lu Xuezhu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Standing outside the cobblestone imaginary formation, she studied the formation very well and vaguely guessed six to seven points.
Lu Xinmei said happily: "Could it be that there is some kind of heavenly talent or earthly treasure?"
Her voice immediately attracted the attention of the female nuns from the Fengchi Sect who were clamoring to return, and they all ran over to see what was going on.
A strange color flashed through Lu Xuezhu's apricot eyes. He pointed his hands and drew the runes to break the illusion formation.
"Now!" Lu Xuezhu said one word with his red lips and white teeth, and pressed the rune into the void.
In an instant, a phantom formation suddenly appeared in front of them!
"Ah! It's Ye Ling!" Bai Qiu exclaimed, staring blankly at the familiar figure in the moon-white satin gown in the illusion array!
However, what frightened her the most was the bloody aura all over Ye Lingzhou! It's like it's covered with a layer of red clouds, which makes people palpitate.
The girls were all shocked. How many monsters had to be hunted to have such a strong blood evil aura.
"I haven't seen you for many days. Fellow Daoist Ye is very evil! Although the spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate through the illusion formation, I believe that Fellow Daoist Ye's cultivation will definitely improve." Lu Xuezhu is very smart, and her inferences are rarely wrong.
Lu Xinmei's heart was agitated, and she greeted resentfully: "Fellow Daoist Ye, why are you meditating and practicing here? When you heard that we were coming, you didn't come out to meet us."
No matter how they called, Ye Ling always kept his eyes slightly closed, as steady as a mountain, unmoved at all.
Lu Xuezhu muttered: "I think Fellow Daoist Ye is in a life-and-death situation. Let's not disturb him. It's better for me to cover the phantom formation."
Nine out of ten of the girls admired Ye Ling, a master of alchemy and a high-level pharmacist. Especially when they rescued them in the Grand Canyon, they all owed Ye Ling a favor.
So all the girls took the initiative to protect Master Ye Alchemy. They sat around in the sunset jungle and waited quietly for Ye Ling to come out of seclusion.
Half a day passed in a flash. Seeing the shadow of the sun setting in the west and the red wheel falling in the west, the girls looked at the sky worriedly. They knew that even if they rarely saw monsters in the jungle during the day, it did not mean that there were none at night. There are a large number of ferocious beasts surrounding them, and they may not be able to escape.
Just as they were thinking wildly, the elliptical magic array suddenly withdrew, emitting a terrifying evil aura!
All the girls were moved! Everyone's mind was agitated, as if a huge wave had rolled up!
Especially Bai Qiu from the Fengchi Sect looked at Ye Ling with wide eyes and a look of horror on his face!
"What?! Peak of the ninth level of Qi training! Ye, Master Ye, how on earth did you do it? This is incredible!"
