Lu Yuan's arms were clamped tightly and he couldn't swing his sword at all.
The space was too small and Guo Pu couldn't get out.
The vine demon's chest kept rising and falling, making a human-like laugh.
The laughter was so gloomy that it made people shudder.
He struggled to push open the vines, but with a pair of outer walls, most of the force was dissolved by the slippery vines.
Lu Yuan gradually felt short of breath and his consciousness began to blur.
The little vine demon actually wants to use such despicable means to control me! ?
Lu Yuan slightly bent his fingers, and five rays of white light flew out from the Rong Ring.
Flying Borer Knife!
This set of flying knives was damaged in the battle before, and was later handed over to Lin Fuzhang together with Guo Pu for repair.
Now fully repaired.
When Lin Fuzhang gave it to Lu Yuan, he told him that the Feiji Dao could be made large or small, and could be used both offensively and defensively.
Now in such a cramped environment, this is exactly where it comes in handy!
The flying knives pierced the vines and quickly formed a cylinder.
Then it turned suddenly.
The flesh and bones of the vines inside the column were twisted into green mud by the crazy rotation.
The vine demon was in pain, and the strength of Lu Yuan's chest restraint decreased.
The flying knife immediately merged into one and turned into a metal drill.
Lu Yuan's consciousness moved, and the drill bit was aimed at the heart of the vine demon and suddenly pierced it.
"Hiss, hiss..."
The vine demon let out a strange cry, quickly opened its chest, stretched out its hand and threw Lu Yuan out.
The other hand dug into his heart, trying to pull out the drill.
In just two breaths, the vine demon pulled out the drill bit and his heart together!
The heart is dark green and only three fingers thick.
But the vine demon did not die after the heart was dug out.
Green mud surged up in its hand again, covering the Flying Borer Knife.
Then his arms stretched out rapidly and wrapped around Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan understood. This monster has multiple hearts!
"Qilin Thorn!"
A powerful straight line attack.
The sword blade suddenly became longer, and the sword light was as fast as lightning, causing a series of explosions in the air.
A sword hit the vine demon's fist and the blade was gone!
The vine demon was injured, but it was born with strange strength. It raised its fist and lifted Lu Yuan into the air.
Lu Yuan quickly drew out his long sword in the air, charged up his strength and slashed down.
"Falling Lin Slash!"
The sword blade was not mixed with any elemental power, and he poured the purest profound energy into it.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and one of the vine demon's arms was cut off!
The cave's gravel flew, and huge holes were cut into the ground and cave walls by Qi Jin.
But the fairy sword spirit embryo on the ground was not affected much.
However, the vine demon just screamed strangely and watched as another arm grew out of the broken arm.
Endless growth is the characteristic of plant monsters.
Lu Yuan released a blazing fireball with his left hand.
This fireball has been strengthened by the "Fire Essence" method, and its power has been greatly increased.
The vine demon started to burn, but was quickly swallowed up by its juice.
This attack was just a feint from Lu Yuan.
He quickly threw out the Heart Refining Flag and immediately set up a magic circle.
The fingers were slightly bent, and the formation mirror flashed into his hand.
Lu Yuan sensed the profound energy of heaven and earth, silently recited a mantra, and shouted:
"cut!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the edge of the magic circle lit up a strange purple-red color. The vine demon was right in the center of the formation.
The "Gangfeng Formation" rolled up hundreds of blades, constantly cutting the monsters inside.
"Swish, swish, swish!" The sound of the wind blade breaking through the air can almost burst the eardrums.
The cave floor was also cut into pieces.
The vine demon was crushed to the ground by the huge mysterious force of wind. He was unable to move for a moment and could only howl miserably.
But its vitality is extremely tenacious, and in the blink of an eye it can slowly lift its arms against the wind pressure.
"I'll give you another ride!"
The Demon Sword of Annihilation swung rapidly, weaving a red and white web of light.
The sword skill "Snow Fist" and the Gangfeng Formation were intertwined, completely ruining the illusion of the vine demon's escape.
The howl of the vine demon gradually became weaker, and the strength of its struggling and beating gradually became smaller.
All the branches, leaves and vines were twisted into thick black and green grass pulp.
After a few breaths, everything returned to tranquility.
The air is mixed with the fragrance of vegetation and the rancid evil spirit.
The ground and cave walls were covered with shocking sword marks.
A large pool of sap on the ground was slowly flowing into the pond.
The pond was originally full, but in the battle just now, all the water in the pond had evaporated.
Lu Yuan looked at all this and felt extremely depressed:
I couldn't hold back my energy just now. All the spiritual embryos must have been destroyed by me!
I'm still too impulsive and reckless. If Master were here, this would never happen!
While blaming himself, he searched for the remaining spiritual embryos with a sense of luck.
When he turned over a few rocks, a surprising scene appeared!
Many spiritual embryos were lying on the ground in a mess, with their roots protruding.
But they were almost not cut off by the sword energy, there were just slight marks on them.
It is indeed a fairy tree!
Lu Yuan was overjoyed and immediately carefully picked six spiritual embryos and wrapped them with the special talisman Lin Fuzhang gave him.
If these precious materials are directly put into the Qiankun bag or Rongjie, the medicinal properties and effects will quickly decrease.
The weapon refiner has special bags, rings, and talismans, all used to keep them fresh.
Although part of the spiritual energy of the spiritual embryo was absorbed by the vines, fortunately the loss was not much and it can still be used.
There are no guardian beasts here. They should have been driven away by the vine demon. No wonder there are many vines growing on the spiritual embryo. Lu Yuan thought.
He immediately searched for the demon elixir of the vine demon. But this elixir is of wood and water attributes.
As he put the demon pill away, he thought: It's a pity that sword-making requires a metallic demon pill... But good things come hard, and I should be able to encounter it next time.
After checking around again, Lu Yuan sensed Liu Yuansi with his consciousness and immediately sent a message to him: "Yuansi, come on."
Liu Yuansi suddenly heard Master's call in his mind and was startled.
After confirming that it was Lu Yuan's voice, he felt relieved and ran over with his head in his hands.
Seeing what he saw in front of him, he was stunned and couldn't take a step forward.
"Teacher...Teacher...Master, that big guy was killed by you...?" He made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Lu Yuan moved his neck: "Well, I almost hit it."
"Master, master, let me help you hammer your shoulders!" Liu Yuansi trotted over.
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "I'm not that fragile yet. I've got the spiritual embryo, let's go."
"okay!"
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Yuan suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.
From a cracked rock on the ground, a faint light was stubbornly coming out.
Lu Yuan's heart moved.
He immediately went over and broke the rock in pieces.
"Click."
An almost perfect fairy sword spirit embryo broke out of the stone.
This spiritual embryo is vigorous and thicker than what I have seen before, the color is brighter, and it feels better when held in the hand.
"God is indeed blessed! There is such a perfect spiritual embryo!" Lu Yuan sighed softly.
He quickly wrapped it up and hurriedly left the cave with Liu Yuansi.
The two went down the mountain and came to a safe grassland to sit down and rest.
Lu Yuan asked Guo Pu to prepare some good dishes.
Getting the most core material is worth celebrating.
"Yuansi, I told you before. I have very important things, but they have to go into dangerous places. You haven't started practicing yet. If you follow now, you will die, and I may not be able to take care of you.
"After finishing this meal today, let's say goodbye. You practice well and I will come and test you when I have time."
Liu Yuansi's eyes turned red: "Master! I... I know that I am a burden now, and I will never drag you down. But when I heard you say goodbye, I was... still very reluctant to part with you."
Lu Yuan took a sip of water and said with a faint smile: "Bosom friends are as close as the sea is apart. We are master and disciple now. Although we are separated temporarily, our friendship is still there. Practice well and don't have too many distracting thoughts."
"Well! You must listen to Master's teachings!"
"Then where are you going next?"
Liu Yuanxi thought for a while and said: "I want to find a secluded place to practice first. After I enter the first level and one star of the Demon Master, I want to go to Changning."
"Why are you going to the capital?" Lu Yuan was a little curious.
"When I was studying abroad before, I met Li Qinglian, a great poet who is famous all over the world. At that time, he was still relatively depressed, so I helped him and invited him to drink. He was very happy and he and I became sworn brothers."
"Li Qinglian? I know, my master likes his poems very much. When he came to Changning, he wrote "The Road to Shu is Difficult" as a letter of recommendation to Lord He Zhizhang. I didn't expect that you and him have such a connection."
Liu Yuansi nodded and said: "Brother Li is not only a great drinker, but he is also unparalleled in poetry writing, and he also knows swordsmanship and Taoism. One time we happened to talk about cultivating mysticism. I didn't have a spiritual embryo at that time, but I was also very interested in cultivating mysticism. So we made an agreement that in the future, whoever steps into the world of spiritual cultivation first will tell the other person and practice together."
"It's good that he has a brother like you who keeps his word."
"Master, thank you for the award. By the way, you mentioned "The Road to Shu is Difficult" before. Do you like this song very much?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I like it. This is the first poem my master taught me."
Liu Yuansi smiled ghostly: "I will teach you this in the first poem. Your master is really strict with you!"
Lu Yuan has a unicorn heart and can learn anything quickly. He never thought that learning poetry is difficult or easy.
"Master's strict requirements are for the apprentice to be more promising in the future. I will be equally strict with you!"
"A strict master produces a good disciple, haha! When you mentioned this poem just now, I suddenly remembered that Qinglian told me that "The Road to Shu is Difficult" contains his predictions about heaven's secrets, but it's a pity that no one in the world understands it."
Lu Yuan suddenly became interested: "Oh? Is there any secret in the poem?"
"Well, there are two lines in the poem: Those who are guarding or robbing relatives turn into wolves and jackals. It means that if the people defending Shu are not trusted, they will turn into man-eating wolves and launch a rebellion!"
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment: "Western Shu is a beautiful place and a land of abundance. It makes sense. Continue talking."
"Qinglian had a premonition that a few years later there would be a shocking disaster in the Dayu State. At that time, the world would be overturned, the artifacts would be stolen, and the people would be in dire straits! He wrote his worries into his poems. Alas, even Lord He Zhizhang laughed at him for his unfounded worries, and he was so worried and angry. Chu said that he had no choice but to tell me. And as a commoner, even if I believe him, what's the use?"
Lu Yuan looked at the vast land and sighed in his heart: "Meat-eaters are despicable and fail to make far-sighted plans. When he told you that the artifact was stolen, it should be more than just a metaphor."
When Hu Bugui taught Lu Yuan the art of subduing demons, he also taught him some historical allusions and books by various scholars.
Lu Yuan has a photographic memory and can write it down silently after reading a mortal book once.
So he knew that there was indeed an extremely powerful artifact hidden in the ancestral temple of Dayu Kingdom!
