Chapter 1878
What do you think?
Because when these fire bats rushed to Zhen Ye's body, his body immediately flashed with a faint purple brilliance. That purple brilliance also had tiny lightning bolts, which blocked the fire bats.
These were second grade spirit beasts with the strength of Foundation Establishment, but they were actually easily blocked by this brilliance.
"This doesn't seem to be a defensive yellow talisman!"
Xiao Hua looked at it for a moment and concluded, "A defensive yellow talisman's brilliance wouldn't flash so continuously. Moreover, it flashes somewhat in advance. It seems that the brilliance flashed in advance before the fire bats hit it!
It's as if this brilliance has a reaction! "
Xiao Hua knew how to refine yellow talismans and spirit talismans, so he was very sensitive to these details. Soon after, he looked at the brilliance protecting him and asked Xiang Yang, "Eldest Senior Brother, the defensive brilliance around Grandmaster Zhen Ye's body is very strange. This little brother thinks it's strange, but I don't know what to pay attention to?"
Xiang Yang didn't find it strange that Xiao Hua suddenly had a problem, but he admired Xiao Hua for being able to see the difference in Zhen Ye's defensive brilliance. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, you don't know, but this is the defensive brilliance of a Gold Core cultivator. It's different from ordinary defensive yellow talismans and spirit talismans!"
"Defensive brilliance?" Xiao Hua immediately said in surprise, "This … what is this thing?"
"Didn't Grandmaster Zhen Ye say just now?
From the Gold Core stage onwards, all the movement of True Essence is initiated from the Gold Core and Nascent Soul in the Dantian. This defensive brilliance is one of the divine abilities of a Gold Core cultivator. A Gold Core cultivator can rely on the True Essence in his Gold Core to lay down a layer of brilliance around his body, blocking attacks such as magic arts! "
"Hiss ~" Xiao Hua sucked in a breath of cold air. He immediately understood the key point.
"This defensive brilliance is a Gold Core divine ability. It's more powerful than all the yellow talismans. It's most effective in dealing with sneak attacks!"
Xiang Yang said again, "Moreover, as long as the Gold Core doesn't break, this defensive brilliance can be used. Unless one's cultivation is stronger than a Gold Core cultivator, it's hard to break!"
Xiao Hua's face had a bitter smile. He was really rejoicing for himself. Previously, he wanted to sneak attack Xiang Min. Now it seemed that even if his attack power was extremely strong, as long as Xiang Min's Gold Core didn't break, the defensive brilliance would naturally appear. His sneak attack definitely wouldn't work.
"Realm, ah, realm!" Xiao Hua once again understood the pain of helplessness.
Seeing the bitterness in Xiao Hua's eyes, Xiang Yang said a few more words, "For cultivators below the Jindan stage, if their cultivation is a bit higher than those of the same stage, they will have the opportunity to kill others. However, the higher the Jindan stage, Yuanying stage, and even Spirit Severing stage cultivators, even if their strength is a bit higher than those of the same stage, if they don't have any special abilities, it will be very difficult for them to kill those of the same stage!
This protective light is also one of the reasons! "
"I understand!" Xiao Hua nodded. "This is the so-called 'easy to defeat, but hard to kill'!"
"That's right!" Xiang Yang nodded.
Just as Xiao Hua was transmitting his voice to Xiang Yang, Zhen Ye stretched out both of his hands, and countless faint purple lightning bolts shot out from between his fingers. Like a large lightning net, it spread out for several tens of meters and enveloped the swarm of Fire Bats that were charging over!
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp" A wave of Fire Bats' hurried cries rang out. All of the Fire Bats were surrounded by lightning bolts, and they no longer had the power to fly. They all fainted and fell into the Fire Lake.
Within the Fire Lake, several hundred Fire Rats suddenly appeared. As if they had seen a delicacy, they bared their teeth and fought over the fainted Fire Bats. For a moment, filthy blood splashed everywhere, and small white bones scattered. In a short moment, the fainted Fire Bats were devoured by the numerous Fire Rats, and the Fire Rats quickly disappeared into the Fire Lake!
Hearing the squeaking noises that had just started, followed by an extremely quick silence, Xiao Hua's heart throbbed. Of course, if the Fire Bats were like this, then needless to say, cultivators were even more so. As long as they lost their resistance and fell into the Fire Lake, they would immediately be devoured by the Fire Rats, and not even a bone would be left behind. No wonder this Flame Forest Swamp was not a place where ordinary cultivators could come.
Seeing Xiao Hua like this, Xue Xue's face was even more snow-white. Seeing this, Xiao Hua reached out and held Xue Xue's ice-cold hand. Xue Xue's hand was actually trembling, as if she was extremely scared!
"Sigh, I was still a bit careless!"
Xiao Hua said inwardly, "Although Xue Xue is a female cultivator, she is still a girl after all. These Fire Rats, Fire Bats, and other disgusting spirit beasts have an innate fear!"
"Wife, why don't we turn back!" Xiao Hua transmitted his voice.
The word 'wife' caused Xue Xue's face to redden. She forced a smile and said, "This is related to Senior Martial Brother's life, this lowly concubine should follow Xiao Hua.
We can't delay important matters just because this lowly concubine is scared!
Moreover … is there any place in this world that is safer than Xiao Hua? "
Xiao Hua's hand tightened to express his comfort. He then looked at Yan Qinglian, who was also holding her hand. Men, although sometimes their cultivation was insufficient, at crucial moments, they would still rise to the occasion!
"We'll go over there and wait!"
Zhen Ye easily killed the Fire Bat in one fell swoop. He pointed his finger at the Fire Lake in front of them to the left. In the Fire Lake, there was a small mountain peak that rose from the magma, and it was several hundred feet tall.
When Xiao Hua and Zhen Ye landed on the mountain peak, they could clearly see that the mountain peak was flat. The mountain peak was several hundred feet tall, and there weren't too many protruding rocks. It was very suitable for resting.
When Zhen Ye landed on the mountain peak, he didn't say anything else and closed his eyes to rest.
When Xiao Hua and the others saw this, they didn't dare to say anything. Yan Qinglian accompanied Xiang Yang, and Xue Xue accompanied Xiao Hua. They each found an empty place and sat down cross-legged.
With Zhen Ye and the others around, Xiao Hua didn't dare to refine the Fire Marrow Flame Crystal in his meridians. He could only continue to circulate his heart technique and let the fire-attribute Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from outside his body enter his body, refining it bit by bit!
Xiao Hua hadn't used this method for a long time. When he picked it up now, he felt as slow as an old ox plowing the field.
After a long time, Xiao Hua gradually became impatient. This method of drawing Spiritual Qi into his body was too slow. The hard work he did this time was far inferior to the refining of the Fire Marrow Flame Crystal.
"Sigh ~" Xiao Hua sighed. His gaze looked at the fiery red and pale white around him, and he closed his eyes again. This time, he truly calmed his heart and circulated the "Prairie Fire Heart Technique" bit by bit, guiding the tyrannical fire-attribute Spiritual Qi into his meridians. Then, he circulated the fire-attribute Spiritual Qi in his meridians, refining it bit by bit according to the heart technique.
Along with the formation of strands of True Qi, Xiao Hua also entered a rather empty state. It seemed to be devoid of joy and sorrow, yet it also seemed to be devoid of desires and desires. The refinement of True Qi was nothing more than a natural reaction. The meticulous refinement process allowed Xiao Hua to have a deeper understanding of the 《Prairie Fire Cultivation Method》, and the subtleties of the cultivation method were gradually revealed!
The so-called "Prairie Fire Heart Technique", as the name implied, took the meaning that a single spark could set a prairie ablaze. This cultivation method was admittedly crude, but its fine details were marvelous.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua only valued the meridians of this cultivation method and had little understanding of this cultivation method. He only believed that it was like an old ox swallowing peonies, pouring a huge amount of Fire Marrow Flame Crystal into it.
Xiao Hua's Spiritual Qi had increased, but this increased Spiritual Qi could be practiced by any Foundation Establishment cultivation method. It was far from the essence of the "Prairie Fire Heart Technique". At this time, under Zhen Ye's deterrence, Xiao Hua used the most basic method to circulate the heart technique for the first time. Under meditation, he actually comprehended the essence of the cultivation method!
Unknowingly, ten days had passed. Although Xiao Hua's cultivation didn't make much progress, what he gained was far from simple.
"Previously, this young master was wrong!"
Xiao Hua came out from his meditation and sighed inwardly. "Every cultivation method has its own uniqueness. If I don't carefully comprehend it and only focus on the speed of refining Spiritual Qi, I'll be neglecting the essentials!
Let's not talk about the Prairie Fire Heart Technique for now. After I reach Foundation Establishment, I'll have to practice the cultivation method given by Master first! "
"En, speaking of Foundation Establishment, the Fire Marrow Flame Crystal has already been used up.
What about the cultivation after Foundation Establishment?
Directly refining Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth will admittedly allow me to comprehend the cultivation method and lay a good foundation. But what about after that?
Will I still have to use other methods? "
Xiao Hua thought again. "Since I've arrived at Flame Forest Marsh, this young master can't help but look around to see if I can get some more Fire Marrow Flame Crystals!
For Foundation Establishment cultivation!!! "
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua frowned slightly. "In addition, these ten days of cultivation, admittedly I've comprehended a lot, but … it's also somewhat inappropriate!
This Prairie Fire Heart Technique's refinement of fire-attribute Spiritual Qi … is simply slower than when I was at the first or second level of Qi Refining!
Moreover … there's actually some stagnation in the circulation of the cultivation method!
It's far from the smoothness of refining Fire Marrow Flame Crystals in the past. If I hadn't calmed my heart and comprehended it today, this young master wouldn't have been able to detect it!
This … what's going on? "
Right at this moment, a crimson Communication Talisman flew over from the fog in the distance and landed directly in front of Zhen Ye!
Zhen Ye opened his eyes and reached out to grab the Communication Talisman. He scanned it with his divine sense and laughed. "Hehe, these old farts have finally come!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hand. The Communication Talisman whistled again and flew away in a different direction!
Immediately after, Zhen Ye stood up and looked around. He clapped his hand and took out another Communication Talisman. He laughed and said, "Now is the time to bargain with this little thief!"
Soon after, the Communication Talisman flew into the air and made a turn in the air, flying in another direction of Flame Forest Marsh!
Seeing Zhen Ye stand up, Xiao Hua and the others didn't dare to continue cultivating. They also stood up and looked in the direction of the Communication Talisman, quietly waiting for the arrival of Xiang Min and the cultivators that Zhen Ye had invited!
The four of them were somewhat nervous. After all, the people who had come were all Golden Core Realm seniors, and what Xiang Yang wanted … was tantamount to pulling a tooth from the tiger's mouth. They didn't know if Zhen Ye could snatch an extra portion from their mouths!
Flame Forest Marsh was so big, and the cultivators who came here to gain experience were far from the likes of Xiang Min and Zhen Ye.
In the other direction where the two Communication Talismans flew, above a huge fire lake several hundred kilometers away, a huge Fire Lion with countless tiny flames lingering around its body flew over from the distance. On top of this Fire Lion sat a late Foundation Establishment Realm old man with an ordinary build and a red face. This old man's eyes were slightly closed, and the half-foot beard under his chin was very conspicuous.
