Chapter 208 Finding a place to practice
The city in front of him was not that big, only a few dozen miles in area, and the city walls were much lower than those of the other major fairy cities that Xiao Lin had seen.
No matter how you look at it, this city looks like an ordinary city.
However, after Xiao Lin changed his mind, a smile appeared on his face. He took out the phantom mask from the storage bag, put it on his face, and then took out a Yigu Dan and drank it. After a while, Xiao Lin changed into He became a short, wrinkled man in his fifties.
An ice mirror formed on the top of his palm. Looking at his appearance in the ice mirror, Xiao Lin's face showed a look of satisfaction, and then turned into a green light and flew towards the city.
In the snowy field, in order to escape Liu Mei's pursuit, Xiao Lin had to use all his strength to escape from the wind. Therefore, he could not use the mask of illusion and Yigu Dan to change his appearance. Moreover, after more than three months of escape, Xiao Lin had long suspected That Liu Mei sensed his own breath through some secret technique, and was able to lock himself at all times.
Moreover, in the snowfield, even if you change your appearance, if you meet Liu Mei, the other party will definitely test her in every possible way, and even kill her directly to avoid trouble.
But once he entered a human city, it was different. After Xiao Lin changed his appearance, his own aura was completely hidden, and he hid directly among the large number of mortals.
At that time, unless Liu Mei slaughtered the entire city, he would definitely not be able to find himself.
When it comes to massacring the city, Xiao Lin naturally does not believe that Liu Mei would really do this. Not to mention that the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains have always regarded themselves as righteous, and the karma caused by slaughtering so many mortals is not It is something that a cultivator in the foundation-building stage of Liu Mei Xiao can bear.
Soon Xiao Lin came to the city gate. After sensing the people entering the city, Xiao Lin felt completely relieved. This was indeed a mortal city. Following the flow of people, Xiao Lin quickly entered the city.
Looking at the people coming and going in front of him and the dazzling merchandise on both sides of the street, Xiao Lin seemed to have returned to the county seat of Huai County.
However, he had no intention of wandering around at the moment. Instead, he found a more remote inn and stayed in it.
Under the leadership of the waiter, Xiao Lin entered a simple room. After the waiter left, Xiao Lin lay directly on the bed, covered his head and fell asleep.
However, before he fell asleep, he still released a few soul-eating fire poisons and squatted in front of the door and windows to keep watch for him. Once someone came in, under the induction of his spiritual sense, he would be able to know immediately even if he fell asleep. .
He slept for two days and two nights, and it was not until the third day that the store clerk came to check on him because he was worried about something happening to him, that Xiao Lin woke up.
These more than three months of life on the run have made Xiao Lin exhausted. Whether mentally or physically, he has almost reached the limit that he cannot bear. After opening his eyes and feeling his full energy, Xiao Lin A smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Lin was in a good mood. On the one hand, after two days of rest, his energy and energy had returned to what it was before. On the other hand, Liu Mei had not found him in two days. It seemed that her guess was good. She was sure It was through some kind of secret technique that he locked his own aura and was able to follow him all the time.
The ability of the phantom mask to conceal his aura allowed him to completely escape Liu Mei's pursuit.
After thinking about this, Xiao Lin has no intention of leaving the city. Who knows if Liu Mei will stay outside the city after she can't find him. If he leaves at this time, it will be like throwing himself into a trap.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin felt relaxed. In his opinion, it was not bad to live a mortal life for a few days.
Calling the waiter, he asked the waiter to bring a table of wine and food, and Xiao Lin began to drink by himself in a leisurely manner.
After drinking and eating, Xiao Lin walked out of the room, walked out of the inn, and wandered around the city.
Three days later, Xiao Lin simply used some ore materials that were extremely precious in the eyes of mortals, exchanged them for some worldly silver, and bought a house in a remote location in the west of the city.
After entering the house, Xiao Lin used Seven Blades to dig a secret room in the inner courtyard, then hid in it and began practicing in seclusion.
A whole year has passed since this retreat.
In the eyes of the neighbors, no one has entered or exited this house for a long time, but in the secret room in the inner courtyard of the house, Xiao Lin had a look of pain on his face, and the majestic magic power in his dantian was constantly compressed. With.
But this compression also caused resistance from the mana, and the entire Dantian was enveloped in dark green aura.
Xiao Lin silently recited the formula "Xuanqi Cold Flame Jue", and at the same time, all his thoughts controlled the magic power in his dantian and kept compressing it. I don't know how long it took, but a green flame suddenly burned in Xiao Lin's dantian. .
The flame enveloped the entire dantian, and the majestic mana began to shrink inward under the burning of the flame. The dark green mana was also refined by the green flame spiritual fire, and became more condensed. There was also a faint green light flashing above the mana.
Suddenly, after the mana in the dantian was compressed to a certain extent, a dark green flame suddenly appeared. The moment the flame appeared, it began to expand rapidly, and it formed a stalemate with the cyan flame.
I don't know how long it took, but the dark green flames and cyan flames began to slowly merge, and the flames in the dantian gradually began to turn green.
After the two flames began to merge, the pain on Xiao Lin's face also began to ease. However, Xiao Lin did not stop practicing, but continued to guide the two flames in his dantian to entangle and merge together. .
A few hours later, the two flames finally merged, and a group of green flames floated above the majestic mana in Xiao Lin's dantian.
Then the green flames suddenly sank, sinking into the mana, and the mana began to boil. The green flames kept refining the mana, and some colorful impurities gradually escaped from the mana, following the waves. The acupuncture points all over Lin's body spread out of his body.
After refining, the mana in Xiao Lin's dantian also began to shrink. After being refined by the green flames, the mana in Xiao Lin's dantian was only more than half of its original size. However, Xiao Lin was obviously not worried about the decrease in mana and continued to use it. The green flames kept washing the mana in the Dantian.
Three days later.
Xiao Lin opened his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and had a look of satisfaction on his face.
After a year of practice, he finally completed the third mana tempering. As long as he practices for a period of time and his mana is replenished, he can try to return to his origin and hit the mid-term bottleneck.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin closed his eyes again. After a moment, Xiao Lin entered the spirit wood space.
Looking at the lush various spiritual grasses and flowers growing in front of him, Xiao Lin was very satisfied. He harvested the Five Elements Spiritual Grass Coefficient that had reached medicinal age, and then Xiao Lin harvested at least hundreds of spiritual mist grasses and rejuvenation flowers. , and then left the spirit wood space.
Xiao Lin threw all the harvested spirit mist grass and rejuvenation flowers into the spirit beast bag. Half a year ago, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that after devouring a large amount of spirit mist grass and rejuvenation flowers, those soul-eating fire Gu Among them, the aura of some of them actually rose to the level of ordinary Dzogchen.
In other words, these Soul-Eating Fire Gu have reached the highest stage of mortal level, which surprised Xiao Lin. After the Soul-Eating Fire Gu had just hatched, Xiao Lin had done special research and found that the Soul-Eating Fire Gu had The aura is probably at a high-level mortal level.
From this point of view, this soul-devouring fire Gu can evolve as more spiritual grasses and flowers are consumed. The fact that one-third of this group of soul-devouring fire Gu has evolved to the mortal level is a good proof.
This increased Xiao Lin's determination to cultivate these spiritual insects with all his strength, and the spirit mist grass and rejuvenation flower were opened up for them to devour.
The spirit flowers and spirit grass they swallowed alone were worth at least thousands of low-grade spirit stones, but in Xiao Lin's opinion, it was completely worth it. If these spirit-devouring fire Gu could evolve to the true level, it would be worth thousands, not to mention thousands. He is willing to take out even tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones.
If these soul-devouring fire Gu can really be cultivated to the true level, then even Liu Mei will probably have no choice but to run for her life in embarrassment in front of him.
What makes Xiao Lin a little depressed is that after the Soul-Eating Fire Gu evolved to the mortal level, it did not continue to evolve, but lazily crowded into the corner of the spirit beast bag, looking half-dead.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't these soul-devouring fire Gus have reached the peak of their evolution and die?
After Xiao Lin threw in a large amount of spiritual mist grass and rejuvenation flowers, the soul-eating fire Gu crowded in the corner suddenly became energetic and climbed onto the spiritual grass and flowers one after another, feasting on them.
After the spiritual consciousness came out of the spirit beast bag, Xiao Lin had a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face. The soul-devouring fire Gu, which was half-dead, actually started eating again. Could it be that he was preparing to evolve again?
Xiao Lin was full of expectations. If these soul-devouring fire Gus really evolved to the true level, his combat power would increase several times.
The only thing that makes Xiao Lin a little depressed is that the number of these soul-eating fire Gus is still too small. There were originally hundreds of these soul-eating fire Gus, but they were all killed by the green flame spirit fire he cast, leaving only This is less than a hundred eggs.
It would be okay if you meet an ordinary monk, but if you meet a monk who has practiced some kind of cold flame like yourself, the effect that your dozens of soul-devouring fire Gu can exert will be very limited.
However, there is no way around this. There is no method for breeding the Soul-Eating Fire Gu in the Hundred Spirits List, so Xiao Lin can only let nature take its course. However, in his opinion, there are less than a hundred Soul-Eating Fire Gu. If he could really evolve to the true level, it would be enough to become his deadly trump card.
After taking his mind away from the Soul-Eating Fire Gu, Xiao Lin began to think that Liu Mei had already left, right? For more than a year, she shouldn't be so patient as to hide outside the city. Besides, Liu Mei shouldn't be sure that she is hiding in the city.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin decided to leave. It wasn't that he didn't want to upgrade his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building, but that there would be a lot of noise when he broke through the bottleneck in the middle stage. What he did by then would be shocking and even attract Liu Mei, which would be very serious. Something bad happened.
Now that he decided to leave, Xiao Lin tidied up and walked out of the house. Anyway, to Xiao Lin, this house was nothing, and it would not be a pity to abandon it.
