Chapter 236: Taking Lotus Seeds, Great Perfection, Yin-Yang Sword Intentions
Li Yi looked into the distance and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he finally made a decision. Fleeing in the opposite direction was his best choice.
Li Yi patted the head of the Eight-winged Cold Snake and said to him: "Han Ling, let's fly to the depths of the Southern Wilderness, then fly to the east, make a big circle, and enter the Chu State along the East China Sea. You are more familiar with the Southern Wilderness. Try to avoid some powerful monsters along the way. If you can't avoid them, we will join forces to kill them. You did a good job this time. Although it was a bit thrilling, you still escaped. This is the spiritual medicine reward for you." After saying that, he took out five or six thousand-year-old spiritual medicines and threw them to the Eight-winged Cold Snake.
The Eight-winged Cold Snake looked at the spiritual medicines thrown by Li Yi, and his eyes were straight. He swallowed all of them in one mouthful. It never thought that after being subdued, it could still swallow the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine as food. Its previous injuries have been recovered, and after a period of time, its cultivation is likely to break through to level eight. If it stays in the cold pond, it will never be able to progress so fast.
The eight-winged cold snake that had swallowed the thousand-year-old elixir hissed in the air with great excitement, turned into a breeze, disappeared in the air, and quickly fled to the deeper part of the Southern Wilderness. Li Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the snake's head, patted it twice to make it quiet, and then began to meditate and refine his Qi.
After several battles, Li Yi was originally stuck at the peak of the late foundation-building stage. At this time, he had felt the bottleneck loosening and began to take pills to break through his cultivation. However, after taking several special-grade Heqi powders and several special-grade Guiyuan pills in a row, his cultivation still did not break through, and his face became completely gloomy.
"What is going on? Could it be that I took too many pills, and when it came to breaking through the bottleneck, these elixir was useless." Li Yi thought secretly in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he did not find the reason. He did not want to refine other elixirs. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out a small wooden box with several forbidden talismans on it. He tore open the talismans. There were three lotus seeds like agate in it. They were very soft in his hands. This thing was what Li Yi got after a lot of hard work and huge risks. He only had three lotus seeds of the Nine Nether Blood Soul Lotus.
Li Yi pinched one with two fingers, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a while, and swallowed it in one gulp. After the lotus seed entered his mouth, it turned into three breaths, which were scattered into his body. One of them was an extremely pure soul power, which rushed into Li Yi's mind and merged into his soul.
Another blood-colored breath merged into his body, and the last faint spiritual energy rushed into his dantian. For a moment, Li Yi felt that his body was about to explode. The power of the ninth-grade elixir was extraordinary.
Although the main effect of lotus seeds is to nourish and strengthen the soul, this is a ninth-grade spiritual medicine after all, and the spiritual energy attached to it is still very rich.
Faced with so much spiritual energy and the power of divine thoughts, Li Yi was well prepared and divided his mind into two tasks. On the one hand, he practiced the skills in the "Five Elements Heavenly Book" to absorb and transform the spiritual energy in his body and improve his cultivation. On the other hand, he practiced the secret technique of Yin-Yang Divine Pupil to absorb the medicinal power emitted by the lotus seeds of the Nine Nether Blood Soul Lotus. The blood power automatically merged into his body and continuously strengthened his body.
As the spiritual energy in his body was gradually absorbed, Li Yi's cultivation finally broke through the peak of the late stage of foundation building and achieved the state of great perfection. The remaining medicinal power was still helping him consolidate his cultivation. After half a month, his cultivation was finally consolidated, and Li Yi felt that the mana in his body had reached its limit.
After consolidating his cultivation, Li Yi put all his mind into his head. At this time, his soul power was still growing. In his head, a yin-yang pupil was tightly closed, and the yin-yang fish on it was slowly rotating, gradually transforming the medicinal power emitted by the lotus seeds into Li Yi's own pure soul power. Around the eyes, there was also an extremely condensed small sword, greedily devouring this pure power of mind, constantly strengthening itself.
Li Yi was shocked by this scene and couldn't speak. His current soul power can already be released thirty or forty miles away, which is stronger than the average Jindan stage cultivator.
Looking at the small sword transformed by the sword intent, greedily absorbing the power of the soul, Li Yi's face suddenly changed, and the eyes transformed by the Yin-Yang Divine Pupil in his mind suddenly opened, and a faint suction came out from it, as if to suck the small sword transformed by the sword intent in. The small sword transformed by the sword intent struggled at first, but suddenly a black and white light shot out from the eyes, covering the sword intent, and the sword intent actually began to tremble, and then was instantly sucked in, and the eyes closed again.
"What's going on?" Li Yi, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and was very surprised by the situation in his mind. It was the first time he discovered that in this situation, the skills he practiced were actually somewhat out of his control, which made him feel a little creepy. But realizing that his sword intent still existed and was constantly strengthening, Li Yi didn't care about him.
After a month, Li Yi finally refined all the medicinal power, and his soul power was also tempered to an extremely high level. What made Li Yi most happy was his sword intent. After being strengthened by the Yin-Yang Divine Pupil, the sword intent was not only extremely condensed, but also turned into black and white colors, with a faint Yin-Yang power on it, forming a unique Yin-Yang sword intent, and the sword intent was also divided into 18, each of which was like a substance.
"The Yin-Yang Divine Pupil is really weird. It can actually strengthen the sword intent to this extent. With these 18 sword intents, I can arrange the second level of the Nine Palaces Xumi Sword Formation. If I can arrange this sword formation completely, even without the help of puppets and the Eight-Winged Cold Snake, I don’t have to be afraid of anything when fighting against the cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Core alone." Li Yi thought secretly in his heart.
Li Yi rode the Eight-winged Cold Snake and went deep into the Southern Wilds for tens of thousands of miles. He did not encounter any cultivators chasing him along the way. However, some level 7 or 8 monsters were thrown away by it using the Wind Escape Technique. In the following time, Li Yi began to deduce the layout of the second-level sword formation.
After flying tens of thousands of miles to the south, Li Yi let the Eight-winged Cold Snake fly to the east, but after flying only thousands of miles, Li Yi discovered the fierce fighting fluctuations in front. Li Yi swept his mind and found that these people were actually Jindan-stage cultivators, a total of five people. The one being besieged was a woman in white. The woman had a white veil on her face and a chaotic aura. A scroll was suspended in front of her, which was the Qiankun Wanxiang Tu, and it also became a little broken.
"How could it be her, she actually escaped here." Li Yi frowned and said to himself.
