Before dawn, a loud noise outside the cave immediately woke up the two people who were still sleeping.
"earthquake?"
Shen Tong rubbed her hazy eyes.
"I don't know, let's go out and have a look." Lu Fengchen picked up the gun and started to go out.
"Brother Lu, wait a minute. I will go out with you in a while." Shen Tong said, turning around and walking towards Jian Xingyu.
"After receiving his inheritance, I can't just let his body rot here. I still want to take him back to the Sword Sect." Shen Tong took out a box, packed it up, and received the ring. Opening the stone door and Lu Fengchen rushed to the source of the noise.
"Brother Shen, are you from the Central Region?" Lu Fengchen asked suddenly on the way.
"I don't know it myself. My master is considered a person from the Central Region. The key to this cave was also given to me by my master. I only know that my master got the key from a mysterious person. That person was also seriously injured at the time. I had no choice but to give this thing to my master and told him some things. The rest is unknown." Shen Tong told Lu Fengchen what he knew.
"Then you still need to ask me for help?" Lu Fengchen asked.
"Actually, my talent was just a little bit behind. Even the sword spirit was only cultivated later. Swordsmen like us need sword power, consciousness, and body skills. Because I have to cultivate the battle spirit again, I have great flaws. The longer it is delayed, the more serious the problem will be. So as soon as I broke through to the spiritual realm, I dragged you here. You also know that I can't do this series of tests without you." Shen Tong couldn't help but smile when he said the last sentence.
In short, Lu Fengchen felt that Shen Tong was hiding something from him, but the relationship between the two was pretty good and it probably wouldn't kill him, so he didn't ask any more questions.
In a part of the violent forest, two black-level monsters, the Red Flame Tiger, were venting all their anger. The reason is that his cub was stolen.
There were four people being chased by the Red Flame Tiger, and several of them were trying to escape.
One of them said dissatisfiedly: "A few of us have just entered the spiritual realm. I didn't agree to go to the deep place in the first place, but now it's better. I did whatever I did to provoke it, and it's in such a mess now."
"It's a waste of time to talk to people like you. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. These two cubs will at least be Xuan-level monsters when they grow up, and they will be stronger than us." Another person was impatient and held them in his arms. Two red tiger cubs with a wisp of flame on their tails.
The other two remained silent, just wanting to escape from here as soon as possible.
"I'll go, two Xuan-level monsters."
Two people stood on a towering tree. It was Lu Fengchen and two people who came to watch the excitement.
"Brother Shen, look at those people, they seem to be from Ten Thousand Beasts Villa." Lu Fengchen pointed at the people being chased.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Villa? Don't they claim to know everything about monsters and beasts?" Shen Tong sneered.
"Do you think the person in front of you is carrying a cub of the Red Flame Tiger?" Lu Fengchen pointed at one person.
"It's true, it turned out that it was stolen by someone else's child. I don't care about it anymore. Let's go." Shen Tong pulled Lu Fengchen and started to leave.
"Look at the tree, there are two people. Lead the Red Flame Tiger to them." The four people who were being chased suddenly saw Lu Fengchen and the other two.
"Brother Lu, why do I feel that they are coming towards us... Hey, what is this thrown up?" The four of them threw something to Shen Tong without knowing it.
"This seems to be the blood of the Red Flame Tiger... Oops, throw it away." Lu Fengchen seemed to feel danger, but unfortunately it was too late.
Two flames came forward. Lu Fengchen hurriedly pushed Shen Tong away. Although he was hit by the flames, Lu Fengchen opened the blood pattern in time. Fortunately, both of them were fine.
"It's really not a thing. You stole something and you still want to drag us into trouble?" Shen Tong cursed loudly.
And two red flame tigers had already surrounded Lu Fengchen and the two of them.
"Huanxuan level monsters, your son is not in my hands, go after them!"
Shen Tong ran and cursed. Two red flame tigers were already close at hand.
"It seems I can't run away. I will definitely learn some movement skills when I go back this time." Shen Tong made up his mind.
Lu Fengchen didn't dare to slack off, activated all the blood patterns, and went up with the black halberd. A red flame tiger spit out flames at Lu Fengchen, and Lu Fengchen stabbed it with a halberd. The flame was pierced, and Lu Fengchen's halberd pierced the body of the red flame tiger, but it seemed to be only a slight skin injury.
The Red Flame Tiger let out a tiger roar, then slapped it with a paw, sending Lu Fengchen flying backwards.
"Brother Lu!" Shen Tong also picked up Jian Xingyu's sword.
But at this time, Shen Tong was like a young child holding a sword, unable to defeat an adult no matter what.
After all, it's because his strength is too weak.
Lu Fengchen's mouth was bleeding continuously. Just now, one of the claws of the Red Flame Tiger had injured Lu Fengchen's internal organs. The blood spread along the arm to the black halberd.
A strange halo appeared on the black halberd. Lu Fengchen could only feel the blood in his body rushing from the wound to the black halberd. Lu Fengchen suddenly became as skinny as a stick. Lu Fengchen used his last bit of strength to grab the halberd.
Two red flame tigers have covered the entire surrounding area with flames. Shen Tong was only at the end of his strength. He knew that relying solely on himself would not only cause no harm to them, but he would also die of exhaustion. Thinking of this, Shen Tong began to recite the mantra silently, as if he was about to activate something. However, he suddenly felt a chill behind him.
When he turned around, he only saw a skeleton-like man holding a black halberd. There was an evil aura coming from his body, and there was a sinister black light in his eyes.
Lu Fengchen was talking vaguely.
Shen Tong was a little overwhelmed and had to retreat first. He was afraid that Lu Fengchen would eat him. Shen Tong had never seen this situation before, and couldn't help but feel her heart tremble.
Lu Fengchen was holding a black halberd, suspended in the air, and suddenly moved in front of the two red flame tigers with just one move. The bodies of two red flame tigers were separated.
"I'll go!" Shen Tong looked at this astonishing scene, his body trembling a little, but then he saw an even more astonishing scene. Lu Fengchen actually hugged the body of the Red Flame Tiger and began to eat it, like a savage who drank blood from his hair.
"I'll go! Why didn't I find Brother Lu so wild before?" Shen Tong patted his chest and comforted his heart, but his legs were already a little weak.
Thanks to the fire set by the Red Flame Tiger, the breath of blood cannot spread, otherwise it would be troublesome.
With Lu Fengchen's current situation, there is nothing he can do for a while. Shen Tong had no choice but to hide in a tree and wait for Lu Fengchen to return to normal.
When Lu Fengchen and the two came out of the cave, the sun was just rising. At this time, the sky was already filled with stars.
The two red flame tigers have also been chewed down to their skeletons. The evil spirit on Lu Fengchen's body slowly dissipated, his body returned to normal and became fuller, and he gradually regained his consciousness.
"What's wrong with me? Where are the two red flame tigers? Brother Shen! Brother Shen!"
Lu Fengchen felt dizzy all the time, and his mouth always felt strange.
"Brother Lu, you're finally awake. You really scared me to death." Shen Tong jumped down from the tree and gave Lu Fengchen a bear hug.
Lu Fengchen was thrown to the ground by Shen Tong, and felt relieved when he heard Shen Tong's voice.
"What's the situation now? Where are the two red flame tigers?" Lu Fengchen asked Shen Tong.
Shen Tong told Lu Fengchen everything that happened. When he heard that he had swallowed two red flame tigers alive, he turned to stone like a statue. But before he could feel sick, he began to think about why his body was controlled by this strange aura.
"Ignore it for now, the problem must be with this weapon. Brother Shen, let me digest the blood and flesh of this red flame tiger first, and then try to break through. This good blood cannot be wasted." Lu Fengchen crossed his legs, Then he started practicing.
Shen Tong on the side took out five low-grade spiritual crystals from the ring, which were a level higher than the low-grade spiritual stones. Fortunately, there are still a lot of Jian Xingyu rings in it, and with Lu Fengchen's breakthrough, five is probably more than enough.
Lu Fengchen began to absorb the spiritual power from the five spiritual crystals. The already thin spiritual power in the world was useless to Lu Fengchen, and even low-grade spiritual stones could only provide little help. Spirit crystal is spirit crystal, and Feng Chen felt extremely smooth while tempering the blood lines this time.
The Scarlet Flame Tiger is indeed a Xuan-level monster. In less than a quarter of an hour, the blood lines on its body have reached a hundred. However, it is only to complete the second level.
Lu Fengchen took out the spiritual core of a red flame tiger and started to move towards the third level. But as soon as he swallowed it, Lu Fengchen's sea of blood began to swallow the spiritual core. In the end, the energy in the spiritual core was useless. To Lu Fengchen himself.
"Huh? Where is my spiritual core?" Lu Fengchen also realized something was wrong. Lu Fengchen took out what he had exchanged in the barracks and looked at it. The second layer could make the blood lines on the body reach a hundred lines, and then there would be no more.
Lu Fengchen took out what he got from Jian Xingyu again. It was almost the same as before, except that if you want to achieve the second level of perfection, you must have ten spiritual cores of tenth-level Xuan-level monsters, otherwise it will be difficult to advance even half a step.
Seeing this journey, I had to give up the idea of a breakthrough, but I also gained something from the book. The blood spirit body has a specificity. Blood spirit body, blood corresponds to the physical body, and spirit corresponds to the sea of blood. The blood sea has the property of nourishing spirits, which means that the blood sea can obtain a trace of the monster's soul and part of its power by absorbing the spiritual core.
"Use the blood as a prisoner, and capture the spirit for use. Return all the blood to the origin to calm its soul." Lu Fengchen followed the instructions given in the book and began to melt the second spiritual core into the sea of blood. After a long time, a mini version of the Red Flame Tiger appeared in the center of the blood sea, but its soul strength seemed to be average.
"This is the soul of the Red Flame Tiger. It doesn't feel that solid." Lu Fengchen was a little dissatisfied.
Turning around to look for Shen Tong, he found that Shen Tong seemed to be practicing sword skills, so he couldn't disturb her. I could only wait quietly on the side, and then started to pack up the skeleton of the Red Flame Tiger. This thing is a good material, which can be used as medicine and can be used to refine weapons. Normally this thing could only be thrown here, but now that there is a treasure like the space ring, it cannot be wasted.
After picking up the tiger bones, Lu Fengchen fell asleep, seemingly due to his physical weakness.
A sword cry suddenly resounded through the sky. Lu Fengchen woke up and took out his halberd to fight, but saw hundreds of swords floating around Shen Tong. And Shen Tong's Can Yuan Sword gradually became substantial, and gradually merged with Jian Xingyu's matching sword. Shen Tong also slowly opened her eyes, her eyes sharper than before.
"Brother Shen, you actually broke through the psychic realm?" The war spirit materialized - one of the symbols of the psychic realm. Lu Fengchen was shocked.
"I achieved it a long time ago. I just... re-cultivated it. It's naturally easier." Shen Tong seemed to think of something and swallowed it back?
"It wouldn't be so fast without a bottleneck, right? And you seem to have learned a skill by the way?"
Lu Fengchen didn't understand.
"Because I took the Restoring Pill. Although it was only the second level and I couldn't return to my original cultivation level, it was enough to restore me to the psychic realm. Then I will slowly restore my cultivation level. I have been following my master before, but this time I have to rely on I'm on my own. Just now I just practiced a skill, which is the sword control technique of the Sword Sect. This kind of skill is not taught to outsiders. My master intends for me to join the Sword Sect." Shen Tong explained to Lu Fengchen one by one.
"Your master is very powerful, isn't he!" Lu Fengchen asked expectantly.
"My master's strength...maybe, should be, roughly at the fifth or sixth level of the Yuling Realm. I don't know very well, but my master said that this Jian Xingyu should be at the eighth level of the Yuling Realm. Although Jian Xingyu has excellent talent, he is not very good. He is just a junior from the Sword Sect. Therefore, my master’s strength is not strong in the Central Territory, but he should still be number one in the Northern Territory. There is no comparison between the Central Territory and the Northern Territory!” Shen Tong sighed, among the Northern Territory People are indeed too weak for people in the middle realm.
Lu Fengchen couldn't help but remain silent. After all, the Spirit Control Realm was already beyond his reach.
"Brother Shen, I would like to ask your master for a favor. I wonder if I can pass it on to the commander." Lu Fengchen suddenly said.
"Brother Lu, it doesn't matter. At least there is nothing my master can't do in the Northern Territory."
"I would like to ask your honorable master to investigate the massacre of the Yancheng Lu family in Black Blood City's jurisdiction half a year ago. This incident should have been spread in Black Blood City at that time."
As he spoke, bloodshot eyes suddenly appeared in Lu Fengchen's eyes, his hands clenched, and the pain surged into his heart again.
"Okay, it's all on me. I'll send a message to my master immediately when I get back." Shen Tong patted her chest and agreed.
"Brother Shen, I have another favor now, and I need your help!" Lu Fengchen thought of something serious.
"Help me take this tiger bone back!" Lu Fengchen pointed to the tiger bones that had been packed away.
"It's a trivial matter! You have to leave as soon as possible. If you encounter monsters again, it will only cause more trouble. Those boys, don't let me catch them!"
Shen Tong and the others took advantage of the darkness to rush back to Scarlet Blood City.
However, not long after returning to the barracks, the instructor of the third team asked the two of them to come to the school ground. The messenger's tone was also urgent, so the two had to eat hastily and rushed to the school ground.
