The blazing fire burned fiercely.
The sharp flying sword flashed with cold light until it reached the owl's head.
Faced with the attack from Zhao Yongming and the female cultivator in red, Ye Jin seemed unfazed.
Of course the Shock Sting will not be used.
It wasn't that Ye Jin didn't want to try the effects of the Shocking Thorn.
But unfortunately, there is only one Frightening Thorn in the Consciousness Sea now, and the second Frightening Thorn is still some distance away from being perfected.
If this frightening thorn were used on Zhao Yongming or the female cultivator in red, it would be overkill.
Not to mention that there is Li Changhai, the eighth-level foundation builder who is more powerful behind him.
Who will guarantee that there will be no conflict with Li Changhai later?
The powerful, invisible, silent, and cunning Shocking Thorn can definitely catch Li Changhai off guard.
Li Changhai is the best whetstone for Shock Stab.
Of course, it is best if there is no dispute.
After all, Li Changhai, who was born as a core disciple of the Jinyang Sect, a core formation force, and had an eighth-level foundation-building cultivation level, was certainly not comparable to ordinary monks in the late-stage foundation-building stages.
Anyway, Ye Jin won't believe it. Li Changhai only has this powerful flying sword skill, so he must have some unknown trump card.
Based on Ye Jin's current state of early enlightenment, even if avatars are included in a group fight, it's hard to say who will win.
The main reason is that Ye Jin's cultivation level is too low. No Ye Jin with middle-level enlightenment cultivation level would be so lacking in confidence.
Crossing two realms to kill enemies, it would be great to be able to escape unscathed, but it would be a bit fanciful to want to kill enemies again.
Ye Jin's thoughts only wandered for a moment and quickly focused on what was in front of him.
Glancing at the ruthless-looking Zhao Yongming and the cold-eyed female cultivator in red, Ye Jin showed no expression, stretched out her hand, and a line of wishful sticks suddenly appeared in her palm.
Although it has not been refined into a top-grade magic weapon like the Five Elements Ruyi Stick, it is still in the middle-grade spiritual weapon stage.
However, due to the characteristics of the magic weapon, the Ruyi stick has always been nurtured in Ye Jin's Dantian, and is always being tempered by the demonic power.
Holding a row of Ruyi sticks in his hand, the demonic power flowed into his arms along the veins, his muscles swelled, and he swung it hard.
Zhao Yongming's flying sword, which was just a low-grade spiritual weapon, was easily smashed away.
The wishful thinking stick continued unabated and hit the blazing fire ball.
"boom……"
The airflow hits and the heat waves roll.
The red jade Ruyi, who had just caused a lot of damage to Li Gui at the entrance of the cave, finally fell into a disadvantage and flew back into the arms of the female cultivator in red.
Zhao Yongming did not expect that the white-eyed wolf demon who was at a similar level to him would have a medium-grade spiritual weapon with good quality.
What was even more unexpected was that Ye Jin's actual combat power was much stronger than him.
Zhao Yongming looked a little ugly. He glanced at the female cultivator in red beside him and said greedily:
"This demon in the early stage of enlightenment actually holds a middle-grade spiritual weapon. Fellow Taoist Red, as long as this demon is killed, Zhao promises that he will never take anything."
Zhao Yongming actually said these words to protect himself.
There is no way, Ye Jin's strength is obviously stronger than that of Zhao Yongming.
In order to stabilize the female cultivator in red around him and prevent him from defecting in battle, he teamed up with Ye Jin to attack and kill Zhao Yongming. That would be a serious problem.
The female cultivator in red’s eyes moved slightly when she heard this, her eyes paused for a second, and finally she nodded solemnly in response:
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhao. Humans and demons have different paths. If they are not from my race, their hearts will be different. The hands of this wolf demon must be stained with the blood of our human race. As a human race monk, I should kill the demon and eliminate it. Kill this demon!"
To be honest, the female cultivator in red did have a slight wavering just now.
But he quickly decided to deal with Ye Jin.
Ye Jin's background as a demon cultivator is only a small part of the reason.
What a joke, for casual cultivators, human cultivators are often even less trustworthy. The words "human monsters are different" were just to calm Zhao Yongming's panic. Even the female cultivator in red didn't believe it.
In fact, the biggest reason why the female cultivator in red chose Zhao Yongming was because Zhao Yongming was the weakest.
That's all.
The weak are easy to handle after all...
Once Ye Jin is killed, should she decide whether Zhao Yongming lives or dies in the end?
On the other hand, if she teamed up with Ye Jin to kill Zhao Yongming, the female cultivator in red did not feel that she would be 100% sure of defeating Ye Jin when the spoils were divided.
Especially after Ye Jin sacrificed a row of wishful sticks.
After all, the three of them are not the only ones left in this ancient cave. There are also Kong Xin, who is more powerful, and even Li Changhai, who is on the eighth floor of the foundation building.
Opposite the two, Ye Jin saw the petty thoughts of Zhao Yongming and the female cultivator in red and sneered.
He didn't even bother to mock out loud.
The moment Zhao Yongming and the female cultivator in red looked at each other and attacked Ye Jin again!
"who!"
Zhao Yongming, who was holding the spiritual sword, felt a strong wind coming from behind his head!
Zhao Yongming, who focused all his attention on Ye Jin across from him, never expected that there was someone behind them.
Turning around hastily, what he vaguely saw was an afterimage covered in golden fur.
Zhao Yongming is still waiting for his reaction.
"Roar!!!"
A deafening sonic boom instantly exploded in the weapon refining room.
Ye Jin, whose strength has reached the realm of transparency, is more powerful than ever in Ye Jin's hands.
Finally, there is a trace of the style of Xiongshanjun that shocked the heroes with his roar.
"ah--"
Zhao Yongming, who had just built the foundation, had no time to stabilize his soul.
Caught off guard, he was shocked by the scolding roar.
Invisible energy followed Zhao Yongming's ears and went straight into Tianling.
Zhao Yongming only felt a sharp stabbing pain, followed immediately by a pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart, sweeping through his body.
Even Ye Jin was in agony when her soul was torn apart. How could Zhao Yongming hold on?
Without any surprise, Zhao Yongming let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground holding his head in pain.
Blood overflowed from Zhao Yongming's eyes and ears.
In just this moment, Zhao Yongming lost half of his life.
The female nun in red on the other side was not much better.
Although Ye Jin's main target was Zhao Yongming, Chi Nianhou was a ranged sonic boom attack, and the female cultivator in red next to Zhao Yongming was not much better.
He was also bleeding from all his orifices and had a look of pain on his face. The only thing that was better than Zhao Yongming was that he didn't scream.
When the two faced each other, Ye Jin showed no signs of surprise.
The incarnation quietly used it the second he stepped into the corridor.
Coupled with the powerful concealment function of "Turtle Breath Condensing Qi Jue", let alone Zhao Yongming and the female cultivator in red.
As long as Ye Jin doesn't want to, even Li Changhai, who is on the eighth level of the foundation, can't even think of discovering the whereabouts of the incarnation.
With a shout from behind, Zhao Yongming and the female cultivator in red instantly lost their ability to resist.
It stands to reason that if the two of them join forces to fight Ye Jin, although they will lose in the end, they will not lose so quickly or so completely.
But Ye Jin doesn't play by common sense.
Even if the breakthrough is clear, Ye Jin still prefers sneak attacks.
The battle of skills is not a comparison of size, nor is it a round-to-round battle between you and me.
It is truly a life-and-death fight that pays attention to the right time, place, and people. In order to defeat the enemy, he will do anything and unscrupulously. The goal is to kill the opponent.
For practitioners, as long as there is no resistance, even a mortal holding a sharp weapon may kill the practitioner.
Life is fragile. Except for the truly powerful, first- and second-level practitioners are actually almost the same as ordinary people, especially those who are not proficient in the practice of the physical body. If they are struck with a sword and there is no treasure that can automatically protect the master, they will die.
Holding a row of Ruyi sticks in hand, Ye Jin looked calm and waved the tip of the stick down.
The female cultivator in red who still had some consciousness watched the tip of the stick fall and wanted to avoid it, but her chaotic consciousness prevented her from reacting at all. She could only shout with fear on her face:
"Spare your life!!!"
But it's a pity.
Useless.
Just like a watermelon exploding, two big heads exploded with a "bang", and red and white splashed all over the ground.
Looking at the two headless corpses, Ye Jin felt no fluctuation in her heart.
The only pity is that Zhao Yongming was given the advantage.
This guy who died was completely unconscious.
His soul was shattered by the shouting, and he died under Ye Jin's stick without even realizing it.
It's neat and painless, so why doesn't this guy feel better?
Ye Jin summoned the two storage bags into his hands. Ye Jin didn't rush to check them, and didn't even look at the two treasures that were suspected to be top-grade spiritual weapons on the weapon refiner's desk.
Ye Jin looked at the bronze cauldron in the center of the refining room, which did not look like a spiritual weapon.
He has not forgotten what the main purpose of his trip is.
The essence of Wutu!
Collecting at least three taels of Wutu essence is the top priority of Ye Jin's trip.
Pointing her toes to the ground, Ye Jin rose into the air and flew above the cauldron.
Stepping on the "double ears" of the cauldron, Ye Jin held the top cover with both hands full of anticipation.
Take a deep breath and expand your muscles:
"rise!"
"Kakaka..."
The top cover, which had not been opened for a thousand years, made a sour clicking sound.
Ye Jin's muscles bulged, and he used force to lift the lid of the bronze tripod to the ground.
"Bang!"
The roof, which weighed less than 10,000 kilograms, hit the ground heavily, causing smoke and dust to fly all over the sky.
With such a heavy top cover, even Ye Jin suddenly felt a little weak.
After taking a slight breath, Ye Jin looked at the mouth of the bronze tripod with excitement.
The dark bronze cauldron mouth looks like a beast crawling on the ground, exuding a powerful and heavy aura.
Looking around, he looked through the mouth of the cauldron and looked into the interior of the bronze cauldron. He found that the space inside the cauldron was very large, but it was empty. It was not full of spiritual weapons and magic weapons as imagined.
Think about it, this ancient cave is a Zifu cave, and it is the kind of cave that is the first to enter the Zifu. Even if there are treasures, they will not exceed the third level.
Soon, a bright silver object at the bottom of the bronze tripod caught Ye Jin's attention.
"Huh? What is this?"
Somewhat curious, Ye Jin reached out to take it out of the bronze tripod.
But what Ye Jin didn't expect was that just as he was about to take it out, he almost pulled Ye Jin into the bronze cauldron!
Good guy, if you fall in here, do you have to cultivate a sharp eye before you come out?
Of course, this is just a joke.
The book returns to its true story.
The bright silver object was not large in area, a little larger than an adult's hand. It looked a bit like a shield in shape, but it was too small.
Of course, this was not the main reason why Ye Jin was almost pulled into the Bronze Cauldron.
The main reason why Ye Jin almost fell into the bronze cauldron was because this shiny silver object was unexpectedly heavy!
Yes.
Heavy!
And it's not that heavy.
Super heavy!
Even the bronze top cover is far behind compared to this bright silver thing.
Just now, it was Ye Jin who carelessly failed to pick up the bright silver object, but almost made a fool of himself and fell into it.
With all his strength, Ye Jin finally took out the bright silver object with both hands.
"What's this?"
Lifting the "pancake" that looked like a shield with both hands, Ye Jin observed it carefully.
First of all, it is certain that this is not a spiritual weapon.
Not right either.
Strictly speaking, this should at least not be a finished spiritual weapon.
Although Ye Jin is not a weapon refiner, he has seen so many spiritual weapons, so he still has good eyesight.
The "silver cake" that seems to be a shield in front of me is most likely an unfinished semi-finished product, just like the original black gold eyebrow stick.
I just don’t know what kind of material this silver cake is made of. Ye Jin is not a weapon refiner, so he can’t recognize the material of this “silver cake” after all.
But at least it is the second-order high-grade spiritual ore that starts, and even the third-order spiritual ore is not guaranteed.
It's easy to find out the specific material of this silver cake.
Just go to any large store in Chiba City and find out what spiritual ore is unusually heavy.
For such a small size to be so heavy, Ye Jin couldn't believe that the material was nameless.
After observing for a while but not finding any clues, Ye Jin had to put it into a storage bag first.
After putting away the silver cake, Ye Jin did not leave the mouth of the tripod, but continued to look at the bottom of the bronze tripod with an excited expression.
Just now, when he took out the silver cake, he felt that the bottom of the bronze tripod was covered with a shallow layer of crystal-like sand.
Of course, these are not the point.
The point is that the rich earth energy that Ye Jin felt from these shallow sands was Ye Jin's primary goal of his trip - the essence of Wu Earth!
Taking out a porcelain bottle, Ye Jin pointed the mouth of the bottle at the bottom of the bronze tripod and called it gently.
The next second.
A sand belt composed of the essence of Wutu flew out from the mouth of the tripod and flew into the porcelain vase.
One bottle, two bottles...
Ye Jin used nine porcelain bottles to absorb the essence of Wutu in the bronze tripod.
In exchange, he received more than three kilograms of Wutu essence!
Three pounds.
In other words, it is thirty taels of Wutu essence, which greatly exceeds the three taels required by Ye Jin. The wealthy can even sacrifice another five elements Ruyi stick five times.
Of course.
This was just what Ye Jin said casually.
For five-element magic weapons such as the Five Elements Ruyi Stick, it does not mean that the more treasures with a single attribute, the better.
The most important thing is to eat in moderation.
Pay attention to the balance between the five elements.
After all, the five elements are interdependent and mutually reinforcing each other.
If a single attribute is too prominent, it will inevitably destroy the overall balance, add unnecessary extravagance, and actually reduce the power.
So even though there were two more kilograms and close to three kilograms of Wutu essence, in fact, Ye Jin still only used five taels.
Whether the extra Wutu essence is sold or exchanged with earth attribute practitioners, it is a good choice.
For monks with earth spirit roots, the essence of Wu earth is a rare treasure.
