Chapter 24 An unexpected surprise
There was a pause.
"But I'm afraid you don't know that the number of recommended places for the Xiuzhen family every year is also limited. Our family doesn't have enough members, let alone you as an outsider. If I hadn't seen you as being useful, I would have sent you to reincarnation a long time ago."
"Li Yan, don't kill me. The worst I can do is stop recommending places. Our friendship is not worth it for a saber-toothed tiger. In this way, all the saber-toothed tigers will be yours. How about that?"
"Hey, don't you think it's too late to say this now? Anyway, I've told you everything I should tell you, and you'll die in peace. I'll send you on your way now."
Xiao Lin saw that Li Yan, who was sitting under the tree, stood up. Although his face was very pale, he obviously had not lost his fighting strength. He made a secret with one hand, and a handful of bright green weapons suddenly flashed out from his waist. The small sword, the small sword swelled in the wind and turned into a three-foot long sword in the blink of an eye, dragging a long tail flame and slashing towards Fang Xing who was lying on the ground. "
"Li Yan, I didn't expect you to be so insidious. Anyway, even if I die, I will never let you have an easy time." Immediately afterwards, a golden yellow talisman appeared on Fang Xing's chest. After the talisman rose three feet, it glowed with light. Flash, followed by burning himself.
Li Yan's face changed drastically when he saw this scene, and he exclaimed: "You actually have a junior talisman. How is that possible? This talisman requires at least hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones. How can you, a casual cultivator, afford it?" ?”
"Hmph, I have been practicing in the Tianlu Mountains for more than 20 years. How can I not even afford a primary life-saving talisman? Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Xiao Lin was surprised to see that after the talisman burned, it immediately turned into three huge fireballs and shot towards Li Yan in a straight line.
And Fang Xing was also slashed in the air by the small green sword, and his head rolled to the side, just facing the direction of Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin saw that Fang Xing's face was pale, but his eyes were wide open, and he A look of death-defying expression.
"Boom, boom, boom." Li Yan was not much better. He had been attacked by Fang Xing and was seriously injured. Now facing the elementary spell, he only had time to form a spiritual shield in front of him, but after the first fireball When it exploded, the spiritual shield shattered and collapsed, followed by two fireballs that hit his chest directly, and then exploded. The huge force directly knocked Li Yan away. Xiao Lin saw from a distance that Li Yan was covered with fire. It was charred black, and the robe on the chest was also burned to ashes, revealing the inner armor with a green halo. However, at this moment, this inner armor was also scorched, and it was obvious that it could not completely withstand this primary spell. hit.
"Poof" Li Yan directly hit the tree trunk behind him, spitting out a mouthful of blood before falling down.
Xiao Lin on the side watched with horror. The two people who were called brothers before now seemed to have a revenge for killing their father, fighting to death and injuring the other.
Li Yan supported his body with his arms and slowly raised his head, with a somewhat thankful expression on his face. He looked coldly at Fang Xing, who had already separated from his family, and gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect you to still have such a hand. It seems that I still underestimate you, but it is me who wins in the end.”
"Who?" Li Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look in the direction of Xiao Lin, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Lin groaned secretly. He had accidentally stepped on a dead branch and made some movement. He slowly walked out from behind the tree with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Who are you?" Li Yan pretended to be calm, and the small green sword turned into a three-foot long sword in his hand, and he stood up with support.
"I'm just a casual cultivator passing by here looking for spiritual herbs. Ah, did this fellow Taoist die at the mouth of that saber-toothed tiger?" Xiao Lin glanced at the dead Fang Xing, then looked at the body lying in a pool of blood not far away. The saber-toothed tiger said in horror.
Li Yan's expression softened slightly. He could tell at a glance that the cultivation level of the person in front of him was only the third level of Qi Refining. He usually didn't even bother to look at a cultivator of this level, but when he met him, he would definitely not do it. Will let it go.
After thinking about it, he showed a kind smile: "Yes, we accidentally discovered this saber-toothed tiger. Unexpectedly, this saber-toothed tiger was so powerful that my brother was killed by it, and I was also slightly injured. "
"So that's it." Xiao Lin showed a look of surprise, and then asked with concern: "Is your Taoist friend's injury okay? If the injury is serious, there are some elixirs here to treat internal injuries."
Waving his hand, Li Yan said with a smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, it's just a minor injury. I'll be back to normal after adjusting my breathing for an hour or two."
"Ah" Li Yan suddenly exclaimed and staggered, as if he was injured.
"Be careful." Xiao Lin exclaimed, and instinctively rushed over, trying to help Li Yan, but Li Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a three-foot-long sword passed through his hand. Angry, he slashed towards Xiao Lin.
"Bang." Immediately afterwards, a scream came.
Li Yan lowered his head in disbelief and saw an emerald-green water arrow stuck on his chest, but more than half of the water arrow had already sunk into his chest.
Xiao Lin was watching him coldly at this moment. The long sword in Li Yan's hand was slashing on a foot-long black shield that shone with emerald green light.
"You?" Li Yan only said one word, and the arrow on his chest suddenly exploded, tearing his chest apart directly. He was also thrown two feet away by the force of the shock, and fell heavily. On the ground, completely silent.
Xiao Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although this was not the first time he killed someone, it was the first time to kill a high-level Qi refining cultivator. In fact, Xiao Lin was very nervous just now. You know, This Li Yan is a descendant of a cultivator family. His worth and skills are beyond the reach of a poor casual cultivator like him. What if Li Yan is like that Fang Xing and has some backup plans? It would be so dangerous. That's him.
But he also knew very well that now that he had seen him, Li Yan would never let him go. In this case, it happened that Li Yan stumbled deliberately again, trying to lure Xiao Lin closer, but Xiao Lin just took advantage of the trick and used The ebony spiritual shield blocked Li Yan's blow, and at the same time fired the water arrow technique that had been formed by silently reciting a spell.
Li Yan also underestimated Xiao Lin, but he couldn't blame him. In his eyes, Xiao Lin, a low-level cultivator at the third level of Qi refining, was not a threat at all. Even if he was seriously injured, he wanted to kill such a low-level cultivator. It will not be a difficult task for a cultivator of a higher level.
Unfortunately, Li Yan would not have a second chance. Xiao Lin looked around cautiously, then found a cave in the mountain forest and dragged the body of the saber-toothed tiger into the cave. For the two corpses, he searched After taking all their belongings, they threw them into a big pit and buried them.
After returning to the cave, Xiao Lin's tense nerves relaxed a little. He took out the items he got from the two of them. From Fang Xing's body, Xiao Lin took out a book, a wooden box, and three pieces of gold. Emerald green low-grade spiritual stone, and from Li Xing's body, in addition to a small green sword, there is a small bag as big as a palm, which looks like a sachet.
Seeing this small bag, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. He had seen this thing in the book "Comprehensive Knowledge of Cultivation". It was a kind of thing called a storage bag, which was used by cultivators to store items, but it was generally It is rare for casual cultivators to have storage bags. Generally, only direct descendants of relatively wealthy cultivator families or disciples of the five major sects can afford storage bags.
Recalling the explanation about the storage bag in the book, after a while, Xiao Lin placed the storage bag in the palm of his hand, then closed his eyes and began to drive his spiritual consciousness, slowly covering the storage bag. After a while, Xiao Lin Lin opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he gently tipped the storage bag in his hand.
Suddenly a small pile of stuff was poured out from inside.
Xiao Lin's face showed excitement. He didn't expect that Li Yan was worth so much. He had nine low-grade spiritual stones alone, a book, an emerald green jade slip, and a lot of materials.
When he saw the book, Xiao Lin was slightly startled. At a glance, he saw three words written on it: "Dry Water Sutra". A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Lin's face. He picked it up and flipped through a few pages. He was suddenly confused. To hide the joy in my heart, I found out that this Dry Water Sutra actually recorded all the exercises during the Qi Refining Period. There were ten levels in total, including the Dzogchen Dry Water Sutra exercises.
This makes Xiao Lin no longer have to think about the cultivation method before building the foundation. The book he took out from Fang Xing's arms is a cultivation method called [Fire Yang Gong], and it only has one to six. On the first floor, Xiao Lin put the book aside casually. This book was not suitable for him for the time being, but he was still very interested in the basic fireball spells in this book. He could practice it if he had time.
Xiao Lin picked up the emerald green jade slip again. He had also seen this kind of jade slip in the book "Comprehensive Knowledge of Cultivation Knowledge", but this was the first time he saw it. He knew that this kind of jade slip was the record of cultivators. Some things are used. Of course, the things recorded may be some exercises, or they may be some formulas, methods of refining weapons, etc.
This made Xiao Lin a little excited. He couldn't wait to put the jade slip in his palm, and then used his spiritual consciousness to enter it and inspect it.
After half an hour, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, his eyes full of smiles.
It turns out that what is recorded in this jade slip is a basic spell called [Shining Shield]. According to the records in the jade slip, as long as you practice this basic spell, you can condense a spiritual shield at any time with your own thoughts. To resist external attacks, this spiritual shield will increase its defense as your cultivation level increases. If you practice it to the Great Perfection, it can even flash continuously within its own range, unless it is defeated and dissipated. , otherwise you can always defend yourself from harm.
