Cangyan Mountain, at the bottom of Quelong Valley.
On the lake pier, the fire around Luo Changgong became more and more intense, so much so that from a distance, he looked as strong as a bonfire. The blazing flames scorched the solid wood pier to black, and even the surrounding areas of the pier. The grass was scorched for more than ten feet.
But the skinny old Taoist priest standing next to him was not affected in the slightest. He just stood in the sky, staring at the center of the lake with his brighter eyes, his body slightly hunched, and his hands behind his back, like an old farmer wandering around the village.
At this time, the center of the lake is also experiencing a strange phenomenon. This time, a large number of bubbles emerge from the bottom of the lake. At first, they are just dots, like a group of small fish gathering together to play, and then there are large areas of huge bubbles. One by one, they burst out of the water and burst open, as if something hot was rising from the bottom of the lake and boiling the water in the entire pond.
Therefore, the former prince Li Hongyi, who was dressed as a farmer and had arrived at the pier at some point, squatted on the edge of the pier at his usual place for fishing, reached out to touch the lake water, and then exclaimed in wonder, "The water temperature is still the same. It’s really awesome, I thought it was a method of making fire with wood, but it turned out not to be the case.”
The old Taoist priest stared at the lake, his eyes restrained, and said softly, "In those days, the prince probably saw the methods of some powerful people in the upper three realms, but he thought too much. The seven realms are just towards the Tao." It's just the first step on the journey. I don't have the power that reaches the heavens and the earth as you imagine, and the magical power that lasts for a long time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this."
"Maybe," Li Hongyi said without even looking at Luo Changgong, who was not far away and was smoldering all over. He put his hands on his eyebrows and watched the ripples gradually reappear on the lake. This time, the waves surrounded him, as if there was a big hole under the water. , forming a vortex with the center of the lake as the center, and the faint green light under the water became more and more intense, shocking the fish in the lake, whose bodies were all green and shiny, jumping out of the water over and over again.
Li Hongyi moved his steps and hid behind the old Taoist priest, "Old Master, I can't understand what happened today. Is that girl's breakthrough accomplished or not?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "I can't tell for sure at the moment. This is a girl who likes to take risks. From my point of view, if there is no greater chance, she will most likely end up regretting this."
Li Hongyi looked at the lake in surprise. The waves there were getting stronger and stronger. The water slapped on the pier, causing the pier to shake a little. "I think she should still have some strength left."
The old Taoist priest said indifferently, "If she had no internal injuries before coming here to break through, and was able to make the dangerous journey all the way to this point, she would have been allowed to pass this level. But her old injuries have not been removed, and she has just lost her strength. New injuries, old injuries and new injuries come together at this time, which will cause some trouble, unless she has some magical object that matches her," he said while shaking his head, "That's right, if she can break through this time Even if we had prepared so thoroughly before, we would not have been as reckless as today in breaking through with internal injuries. It’s a pity.”
Li Hongyi frowned slightly, "You are so eager, but what happened to Li County? Didn't the real person say before that this person is a close relative of the prefect of Li County?"
The old Taoist priest turned back to look at Li Hongyi, then turned back to look at the bottom of the lake intently, "In today's world, on this land of Zhongzhou, can there be a day without trouble?"
Li Hongyi remained silent.
While the two were talking, another strange phenomenon appeared on the surface of the lake. The shadow that had been missing for a while was seen rising wetly from the center of the whirlpool. The mask on her face had disappeared, revealing a pale and bloodless face. She With his eyes closed, his whole body was surrounded by Gang Qi, and the breeze gradually began to rise from all directions, slowly gaining momentum and gaining even more power than before.
The leaves, petals, branches and vines that had just fallen to the ground were swept up into the air again, roaring astonishingly.
Then, the howling wind and the scattered Gang Qi began to shrink at the same time, as if everything in this small world was being absorbed into the shadow's body.
Li Hongyi, who was standing behind the old Taoist priest and looking into the distance, had his eyes fixed because he saw the bright red color overflowing from the corners of the shadow's lips on the water.
The old Taoist priest gently raised his hand, and a ray of aqua blue light enveloped him, Li Hongyi, and Luo Changgong, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating beside them, letting a light green wind rise all around.
No matter how it rotates or shrinks, it cannot shake it at all.
"She is going to lose." Li Hongyi looked around. As the scope of the whirlwind brought by the strong wind and momentum became smaller and smaller, more and more blood spilled between the shadow's lips and teeth. Her pale face became paler and trembling. His body was shaking more and more, as if he would fall from the sky at any time and fall into the lake again.
The old Taoist priest shook his head slightly and said no more. His eyes looking at the shadow returned to the half-closed and half-open look before. Then he said "It's a pity" and turned to look at Luo Changgong beside him.
At this time, Luo Changgong's body was filled with fire, which became more and more intense, and his aura became more and more explosive. When the explosion reached a certain critical point, it seemed as if something had been broken, and a huge explosion suddenly exploded. The flaming waves instantly filled the entire water barrier, engulfing both the old Taoist priest and Li Hongyi! !
But the old Taoist priest remained motionless. The flaming waves containing scorching heat could not damage the corners of his clothes. Li Hongyi's body flashed with water-colored Qi, blocking the flaming waves.
Li Hongyi finally turned to look at Luo Changgong and nodded secretly.
But the old Taoist priest suddenly raised his head to look at the horizon. The half-moon, which looked inconspicuous under the scorching sun, seemed to be there just now. The moonlight flickered abnormally. His heart moved, and he quickly turned his head to look at the surface of the lake. In the shadow above, a small jade square box had floated above the shadow's head at some point. The box was opened, and a round and pure white liquid like a pearl flowed out of it. It fell on her forehead drop by drop, and magically moistened the inside. , disappeared without a trace!
Accompanying this, the fierce wind and momentum all around became softer for some reason. Leaves and flowers fell to the ground little by little, but the wind that swept around and shrank rapidly was faster, and it didn't take much time. , then compressed and surrounded, and finally disappeared into the shadow's delicate body!
It wasn't until this moment that Shadow opened her eyes again. She reached out and took the jade square box above her head in her hand. She looked at it carefully before putting it into her arms solemnly, and then from He took out a pitch-black mask and put it on his face, then dodged and appeared on the pier.
At this time, Li Hongyi looked at the shadow, which had obviously completed its breakthrough, with confusion in his eyes.
The old Taoist priest said with a more solemn expression, "Congratulations, little friend, on your successful breakthrough."
The shadow nodded back to the old Taoist priest, "Thank you, Master," she turned to look at Luo Changgong, who was gradually finishing his work, then stood up again and walked towards her, "Is that all right?"
"That's enough," Luo Changgong came to the old Taoist priest and Li Hongyi and gave them a solemn military salute, "Junior Luo Changgong and Master Ying, thank you two seniors and the Cangyan Sword Sect for protecting Breakthrough. If there is a need, Chang Gong will be rewarded."
The old Taoist priest lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes again, "What kind of reward is it? You follow the governor to protect the human race. This is the best reward." After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at the shadow again. When he turned his hand, a small blue porcelain bottle appeared. Suddenly it fell into the hands of the shadow, "This is a pill to repair internal injuries. It was supposed to be given to you for recovery after your breakthrough is completed. Unexpectedly, you actually planned this and have such a magical item. Now you have internal injuries. You have recovered to the fullest, but this has given the old Taoist some insights, so I will still give you this bottle of elixir in case you need it in the future."
The shadow did not shirk when he heard the words. He reached out to take the porcelain bottle, thanked him, nodded to Li Hongyi, grabbed Luo Changgong, and turned into a ray of green light, shooting toward the eastern sky.
