Chapter 1373
Chapter 1373
Xiao Hua circulated his True Qi through his meridians, and only then did he check his cultivation base.
Xiao Hua almost jumped up from the ground. The night before Xiao Hua entered the fog of the Yu Lian Mountains, he had just taken five Marrow Cleansing Pills, and his cultivation had barely entered the middle of the second layer of the Qi Refining realm. In just six hours, his cultivation had actually advanced by leaps and bounds, directly reaching the late stage of the second layer of the Qi Refining realm. There was even hope for him to break through to the third layer of the Qi Refining realm!
However, when Xiao Hua suppressed his ecstatic mood and calmly thought about it, he understood in his heart. Although it had only been six hours, he had taken more than thirty Marrow Cleansing Pills in one go. This was equivalent to ten years of bitter cultivation. In addition to the Marrow Cleansing Pills and other medicinal pills he had taken before, it was almost equivalent to twenty years of bitter cultivation. Others had used one or two years of time, but he had actually used twenty years of bitter cultivation to barely reach the late stage of the second layer of Qi Refining. This really made people speechless!
Of course, he had used six hours to refine more than thirty Marrow Cleansing Pills, and most of the residual medicinal power was distributed in his meridians. The sudden increase in his cultivation base also made his meridians very uncomfortable, which was why his Qi and blood were surging!
Knowing the reason, Xiao Hua was relieved. Following Shang Huaming's Cultivation Method, he refined the residual medicinal power in his meridians bit by bit, slowly stabilizing his cultivation base!
Seeing Xiao Hua, Li Xiaowen, and Xun Feiyan all sitting cross-legged and adjusting their breathing, Fan Daomao couldn't help but feel a bit irritated. As soon as the three of them left the fog, they hurriedly recovered their magic power and didn't say anything to him. Although he knew that Fu Shu had fallen in Yu Lian Mountains, he still didn't know who had sent the silk bag. If Fu Shu's silk bag hadn't been opened, even if the three of them escaped … their treasure-hunting path could be considered cut off. They could only return to Jingbo City, with no possibility of advancing any further. How could he not be anxious?
After wandering around for a while, the sky gradually darkened. Xiao Hua and the others didn't get up, so Fan Daomao had no choice but to sit down and cultivate.
Soon, the night arrived. Inside Xiao Hua's space, the Reverse Light stopped rotating. Boundless starlight fell down, and starlight seeped into every part of Xiao Hua's body. Along with the medicinal efficacy in his meridians, it was refined into his true qi bit by bit!
The stars moved, and the night quickly passed. When the first ray of sunlight shone from the east, Xiao Hua opened his eyes, and a faintly discernible flame flashed in his eyes. Xiao Hua opened his mouth, and a bit of sun essence was sucked into his body!
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xiao!
I'm about to break through to the third layer of Qi Refining! "
Li Xiaowen's voice sounded from behind Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua turned around with a smile, looked at Li Xiaowen and also said: "Congratulations, congratulations! Fellow Daoist Li's cultivation has also improved, it seems like you're about to break through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining!
I am still far inferior to you, Fellow Daoist! "
"Aiyo, Fellow Daoist Xun, your cultivation is also the same as Fellow Daoist Li's. I really have to congratulate you!" Xiao Hua saw Xun Feiyan walking over and also cupped his hands with a smile.
Xun Feiyan bitterly smiled and shook his head. His face carried a trace of joy, but also a trace of fear. He said: "Although I've improved, the price is really big. If it wasn't for the life and death struggle in the mist, it would be impossible for me to advance by leaps and bounds!"
"Fellow Daoist Fu … still hasn't come out!" Xiao Hua looked around and said regretfully: "I haven't seen you for a night, I'm afraid …"
"Ai, yesterday's situation was really critical …" Li Xiaowen sighed and said: "I flew up, but I couldn't see your figures. I knew that only by constantly flying forward could I have a chance to escape.
But after flying for more than six hours, just as I was about to give up, a turn for the better appeared … I already asked Fellow Daoist Xun, he had the same experience as I. I don't know how Fellow Daoist Xiao … is? "
Xiao Hua said with a smile: "I was the same as Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Xun. I was flying the whole time. The moment I escaped was about the same as the two of you. There was nothing unusual!"
"But …" Li Xiaowen still felt a bit strange. Originally, Xiao Hua's flying speed was extremely fast, but he escaped after the two of them. If he didn't encounter something, how could he be late?
Besides, four people were trapped and three people escaped. If it wasn't for some unforeseen event, how could three low level Aura Refining cultivators escape from the stomach of a Foundation Establishment Cloudmist Beast?
Li Xiaowen knew that he didn't have such ability, and Xun Feiyan shouldn't have either. So the reason naturally fell on Xiao Hua's head. As for Xiao Hua himself, although he vaguely felt that it had something to do with him, after all, it was only a speculation. He couldn't take the credit for it, so he could only shake his head.
"Alas, no matter what, the three of you were able to escape, and you also know that the next place we are going to is Yunxi Marsh!" Fan Daomao's gloomy expression was swept away as he spoke.
"En, that's right!"
Xun Feiyan nodded. "Although Fellow Daoist Fu died, after all, his spinneret has been opened. It can be considered … that he didn't die in vain!"
Xiao Hua sighed slightly. There were some calculations in his heart. These six places, six spinnerets, one for each of the six people. They had just passed through two places, and two people had already died. The next four places … he didn't know how many people would survive … The true curtain of this treasure hunt hadn't been drawn yet, but the tragic deaths were far from what Xiao Hua had imagined when he left Jingbo City that day.
"Why does it feel like … this is a test of our cultivation?"
Xiao Hua inwardly thought, "According to what Fellow Daoist Ma said, these previous operations were also like this. Could it be that … some loose cultivators with insufficient cultivation were eliminated midway?
And in the end, only the elites remained? "
"Heaven Forsaken's method … is a bit strange!"
"But … survival of the fittest is also normal … Could it be … Heaven Forsaken wants to use this treasure hunt to wash away the dregs that joined Heaven Forsaken?
Only leaving behind the elites among the loose cultivators?
And the goal of leaving behind the elites … Is it the same as Jingbo City, to become a force of their own? "
Xiao Hua was thinking a bit too far!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao …" Although Li Xiaowen didn't know whether Yu Lianshan's escape had anything to do with Xiao Hua, in his heart, he already had a whole new level of respect for Xiao Hua. When he spoke, he was a lot more respectful. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't be sad. Cultivators like us go against the heavens and have the possibility of being eliminated at any moment. And loose cultivators like us are even more miserable. Fellow Daoist Fu's experience … is also common in the cultivation world … Let's take this as a warning and pay more attention!"
"En, many thanks for Fellow Daoist Li's reminder!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands in thanks.
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Xiao. Yunxi Marsh is five days away from here. We still need to hurry!" Fan Daomao reminded.
"En, that's how it should be!"
Xun Feiyan looked back at Yu Lianshan with lingering fear. "This place … Even if I stay here for a moment longer, I will still panic. It's better to leave as soon as possible!"
The four of them started their journey again and flew in the other direction of Yu Lianshan. After flying for a while, Xiao Hua suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, I have something to ask?"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no harm in asking!" Li Xiaowen was very amiable.
"I want to know, from Jingbo City, to Southern Color Ping, to Yu Lianshan, and now to Yunxi Marsh, these few places … Do they … have any relation?
How should I put it?
I just feel that through these few places, we can find out the approximate location of our final destination … "
Li Xiaowen smiled bitterly and looked at Fan Daomao and Xun Feiyan. "This question … To be honest, Fellow Daoist Xiao, I also thought about it for a long time. I presume … Fellow Daoist Fan and Fellow Daoist Xun have also thought about it?"
"En …" Fan Daomao and Xun Feiyan both nodded.
"It's a pity … Looking at your expressions, I'm afraid you two have no clue at all, just like I, right?"
"Exactly!"
Fan Daomao sighed. "Southern Color Ping, Yu Lianshan, and Yunxi Marsh are originally a triangle. There's a huge gap in the middle. In this area, I also didn't hear of any special places to pay attention to. If it's said that there's some treasure in Southern Color Ping or Yu Lianshan, I can believe it, but … Unfortunately, these two places are just passing by!"
"The most puzzling thing is that apart from these three places, we still have two more places to go. Only the last thread can tell us the specific places!
Where those two places are … We also don't know! "
"I have two questions."
Xiao Hua looked at the quiet sky in the distance and said, "One is, there are more than a hundred loose cultivators in our Heaven Forsaken.
There are also dozens of teams. Don't tell me … they also have to go through so many dangerous places? "
"Alas, our Country of Xi is vast and rich in resources. There are too many dangerous places. Not to mention Ting Yan Yuan, one of the top ten dangerous places, even Mo Zhao Black Forest, Yan Lin Mountain Swamp, and other places are not much worse than Ting Yan Yuan. It's just that they aren't famous!
And there are even more dangerous places like Southern Color Ping and Yu Lianshan that even I, a loose cultivator, have the courage to enter.
It's really easy for Heaven Forsaken to pick out some of these places! "Li Xiaowen smiled bitterly.
Xiao Hua nodded and asked again, "I have a second question. These dangerous places … Even if they have their own characteristics, how can Fellow Daoist Qing … go to each of these places one by one?
Moreover, only special spinnerets can be opened in special places. "
"In the Cultivation World, there are countless spells and magical powers. Everyone has their own secrets. Even Fellow Daoist Xiao … I'm afraid he has spells that we can't reach, let alone Fellow Daoist Qing!" Xun Feiyan shook his head slightly.
Xiao Hua still didn't give up. "Southern Color Ping has ice worms and an extremely cold climate. Yu Lianshan has fog beasts and clouds that don't disperse for years. These should be the factors that activate the spells in the threads, right?
What's so special about Yun Xi Ze?
Maybe … we don't have to go to the truly dangerous places. We can open the threads in places that are similar to these places? "
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Xiao's idea … is really interesting. However, it's not that we haven't thought of this before, but … as long as there are places similar to Yu Lianshan and Southern Color Ping, there are also demonic beasts. The ice worms and fog beasts are only at the second stage. The other places are at the third and fourth stage. They're far from what loose cultivators like us can handle!" Fan Daomao explained to Xiao Hua with a smile.
"Alas, so it's like this." Xiao Hua was speechless. It seemed that he could only follow Qing Fengmin's arrangement and take it step by step!
