Tianyun Sect, in the Yam Garden behind Yanyue Peak
After having had enough wine and food, I made a routine inspection of the medicine fields in the medicine garden for seven nights, and then returned to the hut with peace of mind.
For more than a month, apart from taking care of the medicine fields and transporting medicinal materials every day, I have focused almost exclusively on cultivation.
I don't know how long I can last as a medicine keeper. Moreover, there is abundant spiritual energy here and there is no one to disturb you. It is a good place for practicing.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to take advantage of this period to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible to improve his cultivation. As for the weekly elders' lectures, he only shows up occasionally. Look familiar so you won't be forgotten.
On the bed, Qiye activated the spirit-gathering flag, attracting a steady stream of spiritual energy, which was then swallowed up by the Huntian Wheel in his body...
For more than a month, he has been able to "do two things at once": while activating the Hun Tian Wheel, he is also simulating the practice of Shadow Steps...
In the spirit world, Qiye Soul lowered his head to look down at the operation of the Hun Tian Wheel, and no longer paid too much attention:
The Hun Tian Wheel seems to be like a bottomless abyss, constantly swallowing up the spiritual energy pouring down like a Milky Way waterfall above the nine heavens.
Without any thought operation on his part, Huntian Wheel can automatically absorb spiritual energy, which also completely liberated him from spiritual energy cultivation.
When I had nothing to do, I remembered the scene of fighting the Man-Faced Demon Spider before.
Since the last desperate battle, Qiye gained a lot of practical insights, but there are still many experiences. At that time, because of the dangerous situation and the fleeting insights, there was no time to understand them. Looking back now, it is a pity...
The last time, after seven nights of narrow escape, he returned to the sect and thought of reporting to the elders the presence of demon spiders in the mountains near the sect.
But if you think about it carefully, this matter doesn't stand up to scrutiny: How did a new outer disciple come back alive after encountering a demon spider?
If he reported it, he would definitely arouse suspicion among the elders.
Alas, forget it, let’s wait until the sect discovers it by itself...
After all, it involves the secret of your own strength, so you have to consider everything when doing things.
Throwing aside distracting thoughts and meditating, Lingso closed his eyes quietly, constantly recalling the details of that fight, trying to restore every scene at that time...
Just as Qiye indulged in his imagination, tens of thousands of spiritual stars suddenly shone brightly in the spiritual world.
Wisps of pure and rich spiritual power burned out and gathered in front of the soul.
Qiye Lingso seemed to feel something and opened his eyes, looking at the scene in front of him in great surprise:
I saw huge spiritual power continuously gathering, and then condensed into a vague form...
As more spiritual power is injected into it, the vague form becomes clearer and clearer, and the image becomes more and more vivid.
When the last ray of spiritual power was injected, the vague-shaped object finally evolved into a lifelike "Human-Faced Demon Spider".
"This is... the Man-Faced Demon Spider?!"
Qiye was a little surprised and said
Looking at the human-faced demon spider in front of him, which was no different from reality and perfectly copied, he couldn't help but sigh sincerely:
Unexpectedly, this Hunyuan Refining Realm can actually simulate the form of monster beasts. It is really not easy!
"But...it seems that they only have the same appearance, but I don't know if their strength is also the same?"
Qiye took a step forward to examine it curiously, and then tentatively stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it.
Just as he reached out his hand casually, the Man-Faced Demon Spider, which had been motionless and seemed like a dead thing, suddenly raised one of its legs and struck at him.
The sudden attack hit the unsuspecting spirit body all at once, and a crack like a knife was drawn diagonally across the entire chest of the spirit spirit.
"Uh...ah!!!"
Qiye was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses instantly.
pain! The pain was as hot as a soldering iron! The pain made him cry out.
I have always believed that the soul has no sentient feelings, but now after the soul body is attacked, the pain is ten times worse than the same injury to the physical body!
Just as he lowered his head to inspect the wound on his chest, the other leg of the Man-Faced Demon Spider took the opportunity to attack him again. Qiye, who had already suffered a big loss, reacted in a flash and quickly retreated with a burst of fire, directly opening a distance of ten meters.
"This guy actually has real strength!"
After enduring an attack, he finally understood while gasping for breath: It turned out that this human-faced demon spider, which was made up of spiritual power, actually copied the strength of the real demon spider.
Thinking of this, Qiye was so shocked by the virtual simulation of the Hunyuan Refining Realm:
One hundred percent simulation! ! !
Come on! I……
Even he, who had always been calm, couldn't help but get angry. I have been tortured once and it was terrible, how could I have to experience it again?
"Zhizhi~"
Then, without giving Qiye any time to prepare, the Man-Faced Demon Spider hissed and spurted out countless silver poisonous needles.
Since there is no terrain at all in the spiritual world, the entire space is bright and empty. Qiye has no way to hide, so he has to move his shadow steps in embarrassment, dodging here and there, jumping up and down...
"Damn it!" He said angrily while dodging.
This virtual method of fighting was completely open, with no retreat, and the enemy was much stronger than himself, which made him feel quite angry.
I just want to try to recall the original fighting methods. This Hunyuan Refining Realm does not need to be so real.
However, even though he was angry inside, he didn't even have the right to vent. The Man-Faced Demon Spider kept approaching step by step, chasing Qiye like a cat chasing a mouse.
"You really think I'm easy to bully!"
Having been suppressed and retreating continuously, Qiye finally stopped unbearably, stood firm and drew out the Nine-curved Silver Snake Sword from the void.
He tried his best to slash at the armor on the top of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's head, but before the sword fell, the Man-Faced Demon Spider sprayed out countless spider silks and wrapped them tightly around the Silver Snake Sword, instantly restraining the attack.
"Damn it!" Seeing that the attack failed, Qiye cursed secretly.
Just as he was about to throw away his sword and retreat, the Human-Faced Demon Spider fired out its eight legs, opened its fangs as sharp as a sickle, and attacked it.
Seeing this, Qiye felt cold in his heart: He had no doubt that if his spiritual body was cut by those huge claws, it would be instantly wiped out.
The soul that was finally condensed was actually destroyed by the magical beast that was virtually simulated in the Hunyuan Refining Realm. What nonsense is this!
He had no time to dodge, so he instinctively covered his chest with both arms, using his spiritual power to resist the attack from the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
"Qiang~" The Man-Faced Demon Spider opened its claws and was as powerful as scissors.
Just when Qiye's ribs were about to be cut, the human-faced demon spider evolved from spiritual power suddenly turned into a wisp of cold smoke from head to tail, directly penetrating the soul.
"Gudu~"
Feeling a trace of cold air flowing through her waist, Qiye choked with fear, feeling that her body was completely cold from beginning to end.
He came back to his senses: I should have died from that cut just now.
If he was really attacked, I'm afraid his soul would really be ruined.
Fortunately, this virtual simulation of the Hunyuan Refining Realm still has a bottom line, and when the soul is about to suffer a devastating disaster, it can be resolved in time.
Feeling the lingering pain from the wound on Lingso's chest, Qiye felt deeply:
Judging from this head-on confrontation with the Man-Faced Demon Spider, it was a miracle that he didn't die last time.
The Man-Faced Demon Spider was completely playful and did not kill it from the beginning. Otherwise, judging from today's situation, he might not even be able to hold on for a hundred breaths.
He felt like he was "surviving a disaster", and he had some insights into the battle he just had with the Man-Faced Demon Spider:
Facing a monster that was also known for its speed, his level of shadow step training was still too low, and he was unable to escape pursuit. If he really reaches that situation, he may be forced into a dead end again.
If you can't win, let alone run away, it's the same as death.
It seems that it is necessary for me to practice Shadow Step!
Nowadays, although Shadowstep has reached the stage of "chasing the wind and becoming a small success", he can naturally escape without any worries when facing the strong warriors of the battle level or even the battle axe level, but when facing the battle spirit level, he is a bit unsatisfied.
On the surface, he is an 'elementary level', his hidden strength is 'the first level of battle axe', and his true combat power is 'the first level of battle axe'.
As for the battle-level and tomahawk-level, my current strength is enough to cope with it, even if I can't win to save my life, there is no problem. But if faced with a fighting spirit level or even higher level person, he would have no power to fight back, so the art of escaping is particularly important.
"Zhuifeng, Xiaocheng" jumped a hundred meters. Although he seemed to be as fast as the wind, in the eyes of a warrior-level warrior, his speed was still too slow.
"It seems that we still can't relax in practicing Shadow Step! At the critical moment, we have to rely on it to save our lives..."
Qiye sighed in his heart, understanding his shortcomings and having a direction.
Since Shadow Step advanced to the second stage, he has slowed down his training progress slightly and focused on alchemy.
In the spirit world, Qiye closed his eyes again with satisfaction after some careful reflections.
For a moment, the spiritual star burned, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider was condensed out again...
"Come on, big guy. Let's see who's faster, you or me!"
Qiye touched the wound on his chest, stared at the demon spider with burning eyes and shouted.
"Zhizhi~" As if he understood the enemy's provocative words, the Man-Faced Demon Spider let out an angry hiss and pounced directly.
"Shadow Step, Chasing the Wind..."
Qiye moved his steps, dodged aside, and narrowly missed him.
"Haha...ahhh!"
Just when Qiye avoided the attack from the demon spider and had no time to rejoice. Unexpectedly, as soon as the demon spider's forelimbs pounced, its hind legs quickly swung back.
Qiye didn't notice, and was hit in the chest again, and his whole body was blown away in an instant.
"Damn it!"
He accidentally hit another one, and at this moment he cursed in his heart.
In the contest with the Demon Spider, Qiye constantly refreshed his understanding of the attack methods of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Even though he was constantly attacked unexpectedly by the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Qiye still did not fight back. With my current strength, I can't fight head-on, but I can practice shadow walking and learn to dodge dense, fierce attacks.
There is motivation only when there is pressure. Only by constantly practicing life and death can we continue to improve our methods...
"Pfft~"
Another mistake, Qiye's soul was knocked away by the Man-Faced Demon Spider again.
Seeing that the demon spider was approaching and his death was already in sight, the human-faced demon spider turned into a wisp of cold smoke when it was within a stone's throw of him again.
"Hu~hu~"
After escaping life and death again, Qiye was so weak that he gasped for breath. Although his soul could not feel any fatigue, after experiencing these two "death battles", his soul power relaxed from the tension and felt a little weak.
But this time, Qiye has made some progress from being unable to hold on to a hundred breaths to being able to hold on to a hundred and twenty breaths.
Looking down at the scarred cracks on his chest, he couldn't help but smile sadly:
It seems that there is still a long way to go!
After his energy returned to fullness again, Qiye closed his eyes again...
Throughout the night, he performed dozens of exercises in the spiritual world, and his spiritual body was covered with bruises. Strictly speaking, this kind of drill is not a fight. It is just a matter of constantly honing your footwork and reaction speed to avoid attacks. It can be said that you are being chased in a very embarrassing way.
But Qiye enjoyed it all night long:
In front of a strong person, if you don't have the strength to defeat your opponent, being able to save your own life is also a strength that cannot be ignored.
In short: to learn to kill the enemy, you must first learn to escape.
