Chapter 1408: Retreat and Practice

Xiao Lin showed a curious expression and walked slowly towards the cave.

Soon he arrived in front of the cave, but it was a pitch-black cave entrance that was about ten feet high and only two feet wide. Xiao Lin followed the entrance of the cave with his spiritual thoughts and quickly understood the origin of the cave.

"It turns out that a casual cultivator once practiced in seclusion here." Xiao Lin smiled slightly and walked straight into the cave. As he entered the cave, the outside of the cave slowly condensed, and soon it condensed. It became a thick layer of black ice, covering the entire cave.

Following the long and narrow corridor, Xiao Lin went a hundred feet deep before he came to a place in the middle of the mountain. It looked like the guest room of the casual cultivator. There was an ice table and four chairs carved from black ice next to it. Even the patterns on it are clearly visible. Xiao Lin knows from the patterns that this casual cultivator is also a person with taste and attention to details.

And this person is obviously like him, practicing ice-attribute skills.

Behind the reception room, close to the ice wall, are four ice rooms side by side, with sunken writings vaguely visible above.

"Cultivation room, alchemy room, weapon refining room and rest room." Although it is simple, it is comprehensive.

After exploring the surrounding area, Xiao Lin showed a satisfied expression on his face. Not only was this place hidden, but the environment also satisfied him. With a little polish, it could be used as a retreat, which would save a lot of effort. .

After Xiao Lin thought for a while, as a green shadow flashed past, a figure walked out of Xiao Lin's body, it was his second soul Lei Lin.

With a wave of Xiao Lin's sleeves, a bunch of flag arrays appeared at Lei Lin's feet.

"Please arrange the restriction formation," Xiao Lin said.

Leylin nodded, stretched out his hand and sucked the pile of flag array disks into his hand, then turned it into a bolt of lightning and shot out of the cave.

Although the second soul can be cultivated independently, it also has a drawback, that is, once it is separated from the main body for too long, it will produce three views and consciousness that are different from the main body. Sometimes the character condensed from these different three views, It is completely opposite to his main body. Once such a situation occurs, there is a high probability that he will have the idea of ​​​​detaching from his main body. The more terrifying thing is that he may even have the intention to kill the main body and replace it. This is not what Xiao Lin wants to see. arrived, so he has decided not to let the second soul leave him for too long unless necessary.

Anyway, with the second spirit by your side, you can not only become a loyal protector, but also practice independently without having a big impact.

After the second soul left, Xiao Lin patted the beast ring around his waist. As a gray light flashed, a "big black dog" appeared at Xiao Lin's feet, sleeping soundly. It seemed that the environment had changed. The change made him wake up suddenly. The moment he saw Xiao Lin, his bared white teeth were suddenly retracted.

"Boss."

"Take it out?" Xiao Lin looked at the "chubby" Xiao Hei, smiled and stretched out a hand and said.

"Boss, I have contributed a lot to this race war. This little pill can be regarded as boss's reward to Xiao Hei. Can you?" Xiao Hei looked at him pitifully with a pair of big dark eyes. Xiao Lin, at the same time, a slightly childish voice sounded in Xiao Lin's sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiao Lin smiled and said nothing, and he obviously had no intention of taking back his extended hand.

When Xiao Hei saw this, he suddenly showed a speechless expression, opened his mouth wide, and as a series of spiritual lights flashed, there were hundreds of jade bottles of various sizes piled on the ground, some of which were obviously too big. Many, the names of the elixirs above are also unheard of.

Xiao Lin didn't even look at it. With a wave of his sleeves, he put all the jade bottles into the star ring, and then said: "Most of these elixirs contain huge spiritual power. You swallow them too." If there is too much, it will not be absorbed. It will only accumulate in your flesh and blood and become a fetter. In the long run, there is a risk of becoming obsessed. Although your fairy bodies are strong, you cannot make up for too much. You still have to do everything. It’s better to go step by step.”

"I know, boss." Xiao Hei was robbed by Xiao Lin. Although he knew that the boss was also doing it for his own good, he was still a little unhappy.

"Okay, I'll give you this bottle of Dragon Blood Bone Refining Pill. Be careful to only swallow one pill every ten years, and don't eat more at one time." Xiao Lin couldn't bear it when he saw Xiao Hei's appearance. A flash of inspiration appeared, and a jade bottle appeared, and he threw it towards Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei hurriedly opened his mouth and swallowed the jade bottle in one gulp.

"Thank you, boss."

"During my period of seclusion, you will practice here and let me guard the cave." After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the practice room on one side. When he came to the practice room, Xiao Lin held Stretched out and placed on top of the black ice, the thick black ice immediately turned into clouds of white mist, scattered in all directions, and soon disappeared, revealing a simple stone door.

The restrictions on the stone door have lost their effectiveness after countless years. With Xiao Lin's gentle push, the stone door opened in response, and a thick musty smell emerged from it. Xiao Lin waved his sleeves. , not only wrapped up the mold in an instant and sent it out of the cave, but also popped out several fireballs with one hand, and then opened his mouth, and a flame bead emitting five-color spiritual light was also shot into the secret room.

Almost a moment later, the moisture in the entire stone chamber was cleared away, and Xiao Lin did not take back the Five Elements Spiritual Fire Bead, but cast a spell to hang it on the top of the mountain outside. In this way, the entire cave would be dry and warm. So comfortable and pleasant.

The training room was hollow, with only a stone-carved shelf. There was nothing on the shelf. Two rotten futons could be vaguely seen on the ground. Xiao Lin cast a spell and cleaned it, then took out a futon and sat on it. He reached the center of the training room.

After sitting down, Xiao Lin looked at the re-closed stone door with a thoughtful expression on his face.

He has just advanced to the integration stage. After these years of ordinary experience, his realm has basically stabilized, and his understanding of medical alchemy has also improved. Although he may not be able to reach the realm of the ultimate purple alchemist, he has already It's almost the same, what he lacks now is just practice.

Over the years, he has collected many kinds of seventh-level spiritual grasses, all of which have been cultivated in the spiritual wood space, and most of them are mature and can be harvested to refine spiritual elixirs.

Moreover, he does have several seventh-level top-grade elixir prescriptions in his hand, and he just happens to be taking advantage of the retreat to refine the elixirs. In this way, it is still very possible to reach the realm of the top-grade purple elixir master.

Of course, the main purpose of Xiao Lin's choice to practice in seclusion was not to refine elixirs, but to understand the power of rules.

The battle between the human race and the spirit race, especially the battle between the Phantom Spirit Master and the Ten Thousand Wood Spirit Master, shocked Xiao Lin. Only then did he truly understand that the true magical power actually comes from the understanding of the power of rules. degree.

The other so-called supernatural powers are just minor ways. The power of rules is the original power of heaven and earth, which contains the supreme principle of life, death, annihilation and reincarnation in the world. The so-called three thousand avenues all lead to the path of immortality. It is this principle, so the rules are A thorough understanding of the power is equivalent to understanding the origin of the world and how the world was born. It is not surprising that one can control certain magical means that can destroy the world.

In particular, the Heavenly Killing Technique performed by Phantom Spirit Lord was actually a spell condensed with the power of some rules. It cursed Wanmu Spirit Lord to death. This method was not only used by him, but also by the ten people who were watching the battle that day. The Mahayana monks were also frightened and had chills all over their bodies.

This was completely beyond the scope of their understanding, and it also allowed them to truly understand the horror of the Great Spirit Master. In comparison, these top beings in the Mahayana realm also pale in comparison.

This also made Xiao Lin understand the importance of understanding the power of rules. He has been practicing for more than 3,000 years and has reached the integration stage. This kind of cultivation speed cannot be said to be unprecedented, but basically It is unprecedented in the world. It is not a good thing for him to reach a realm too fast. In a sense, the improvement of realm is a subtle process of strengthening his own soul. No matter how talented he is, it is impossible to It was stronger than what others had accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Xiao Lin thought about the reason for this for a long time and attributed it to the Heaven-Building Sutra.

He derived the Technique of Mending Heaven Sutra from Murong Yuntian. As for where Murong Yuntian got it from, he did not know. However, as the level of this Technique improved, he became more and more unpredictable about ghosts and gods. It's too outrageous.

Until now, he has never heard of any other similar divine training method. Moreover, when he reached the fifth level of Mending Heaven Sutra, his power of divine consciousness had surpassed that of most of the monks in the integration stage. , with his current power of consciousness, even the peak cultivator of the Fusion is only on par with him.

This gave him a huge advantage when fighting with others. Not only did his several divine powers become extremely powerful, but he could also attack the enemy unexpectedly at critical moments. As long as the opponent did not have a third-level or higher Horcrux in his sea of ​​consciousness, he would be seriously injured. It is almost certain that this is his trump card.

It's just that after Xiao Lin advanced to the fifth level, his cultivation speed obviously slowed down. After so many years, he still couldn't break through to the sixth level, which also puzzled Xiao Lin.

In this retreat, in addition to comprehending the power of the rules, Xiao Lin also wanted to further improve his cultivation to the peak of the early stage of integration. After all, the Second Yuan Shen and Xiao Hei looted the Danmu clan's alchemy room and harvested many high-level spirits. Pills, these spiritual pills are enough for him to practice for quite some time.

In addition, there is also the improvement of the level of the magical treasure in hand, and the eighteen sublimation methods of the immortal treasure. Over the years, he will study in detail whenever he has time. Now he has some experience, Xiao Lin's one hundred and forty-four Qingluan Ice Thunder Most of the swords are still first-level immortal treasures, which are no longer suitable for his current level. Xiao Lin also wants to improve the level of this set of flying swords.

As for the Purple Thunder Star Shield and the Soul Condensing Mirror, Xiao Lin wanted to try the advanced methods among the eighteen methods of sublimation of immortal treasures. If he could upgrade several of his magical treasures by one level, it would be better for his. In terms of combat power, it is also a huge improvement.

The more Xiao Lin thought about it, the more confused he became. He found that there were so many things he had to do. In addition to these things, he also had two small magical powers that he had to continue to practice, not to mention the Holy Scale. Burning Heaven is done.

At this moment, he has advanced to the first level of blood flame in the Holy Scale Burning Sky Technique and can condense the burning sky blood flame. However, this burning sky blood flame is only the primary stage of blood flame. As the realm of blood flame further improves, when he steps into the first level of blood flame, At the third level, the Burning Sky Yang Fire can be condensed. The Burning Sky Yang Fire is not trivial. Even immortal treasures can be melted. The Burning Sky Indestructible Body combined with the Holy Scale Burning Sky Technique can be said to be even more powerful, even with this body refining method. Xiao Lin has the confidence to kill immortal cultivators of the same realm.

With thousands of thoughts on his mind, Xiao Lin also understood that haste makes waste. After pondering, he began to designate a training plan for the next period of time.

The training plan was revised several times by Xiao Lin. It was not until the third day that he finally made a preliminary plan.

But before practicing, Xiao Lin still needs to do one thing, and that is to enter the spirit wood space.

As he entered meditation, Xiao Lin's eyes were filled with stars. The next moment, he appeared on a vast land. The edges of the land could not be seen at a glance. On this empty land, near the center, there was a growth There is a green patch of spiritual flowers and spiritual grass, and on the outermost side, there are some preliminary spiritual grasses of level three or below.

Spirit grasses above the fourth level cannot grow by reproduction, so each plant is a solitary copy and cannot reproduce and grow on its own. However, the two or three-section spiritual grasses left by Xiao Lin in his early years continue to multiply and grow, just like Like weeds, it has grown to a range of thousands of miles. Every time he enters the spirit tree space, Xiao Lin will find that the range has expanded a lot.

Xiao Lin didn't care about him. What he paid most attention to was naturally the most important spirit tree. At this moment, the spirit tree was already three feet tall and as thick as an adult's thigh. It was dark green in color, with straight branches and smooth branches. Like a mirror, it is still at the top of the tree, holding a group of young leaves on top. On each young leaf, there is still a dewdrop the size of a thumb shining, colorful and exuding the color of glass.

"Master, you have been here for a long time. Have you forgotten Xiao Zhi?" At this moment, Xiao Zhi still looks five feet tall, but his figure seems to be slightly fatter. He is very cute and pink, and he is pouting at the moment. His mouth looked unhappy.

When Xiao Lin saw Xiao Zhi's cute appearance, he couldn't help but laugh out of love: "How could it be? I'm quite busy during this period, so I don't have time to see you. Besides, isn't I here?"

"Hmph." Xiao Zhi snorted from Xiaoqiong's nose, but her body turned into a white light and threw herself directly into Xiao Lin's arms, rubbing Xiao Lin's chest intimately.

"Master Mu once told you that he comes here to understand the rules every hundred years, but this time it has seriously exceeded the time limit. Master Mu is already angry." He said with a milky voice while rubbing Xiao Lin's chest.

When Xiao Lin heard this, he was slightly startled and secretly said, "That shouldn't be the case." He had indeed forgotten this matter. During these years of experience in the secular world, he spent almost all his energy on studying the medicine of hundreds of herbs. On top of that, even the time for meditation and cultivation was almost gone. As for the words of "Master Mu" that Xiao Zhi conveyed to him back then, he had even forgotten them.

"Master Mu, Xiao Lin was negligent and forgot what you ordered. I apologize to you." Xiao Lin did not dare to neglect. After putting down Xiao Zhi, he hurriedly came to the "spirit tree" and bowed respectfully to apologize. .
