Chapter 240: Collecting Demon Souls
Xu Xiaochen thought again and wanted to go to the second level, but found that he could not go. A piece of information emerged in his mind, clearly explaining the requirement to open the second level: the number of demon souls on the first level reaches 10,000, and the holder successfully passed the first level test.
Moreover, since the Demon-Suppressing Tower in front of him has not been fully restored, it is only equivalent to a seventh-grade Taoist weapon, so it can only open the lowest level one, two and three.
Xu Xiaochen moved his mind again, and his body was in a daze. He disappeared from this strange continent, and appeared in the guest room again the next moment.
"Good baby. Haha." Xu Xiaochen laughed. Although he was not sure whether he could completely repair the Demon-Suppressing Tower, at least he had a mobile cave and an infinite Qiankun bag.
"No need to delay, hunt monsters and collect demon souls!" Xu Xiaochen put the demon-suppressing tower into his body and said.
When he reached the third level of the Taoist realm, a monk was able to put a small amount of Taoist tools into the golden elixir and sacrifice and refine and nourish it as a natal Taoist weapon. The demon-suppressing tower was naturally regarded as a natal Taoist weapon by Xu Xiaochen.
In order to refine the Demon-Suppressing Tower, all the fifth-grade spiritual pills were used up. The spiritual energy in Tianfengyu was also consumed a lot, but Xu Xiaochen felt it was worth it.
Xu Xiaochen, carrying a colorful spiritual snake, set off a magic sword, and turned into a gorgeous long fiery red light, left the city and flew to the west.
After becoming a third level cultivator in the Dao Realm, the demon sword was warmed by the golden elixir and gradually turned to justice. It no longer looked like a blood light, but a fiery red light, and it didn't look like a magic weapon at all.
Half a day later, Xu Xiaochen came to a mountain.
This mountain is known as the Feixiong Mountain Range, because a fourth-grade monster named Feixiong was once a long time ago. This Feixiong Mountain Range is as big as the Ten Thousand Beasts Range, with many monsters.
Ordinary monks dare not go deep into it. Even Xu Xiaochen, who is guarded by the colorful snake, dare not go to the deepest part of the mountains.
Xu Xiaochen followed the colorful spirit snake and quickly found a seventh-grade spirit vein, then sacrificed the magic sword and opened a simple cave directly on the spirit vein.
"Such a great spiritual vein can only be found in such a place." Xu Xiaochen said to himself.
Although there are many spiritual veins in this place, they belong to the territory of monsters. Maybe they will encounter powerful monsters that day, so monks generally do not open caves in such places.
The reason why Xu Xiaochen opened the cave was also a temporary ending point and did not intend to live for a long time.
Xu Xiaochen blocked the entrance of the cave with a huge rock, and then started hunting monsters with the colorful spirit snake. The first one to suffer was a seventh-grade red blood tiger.
Xu Xiaochen did not take action at all. The colorful spirit snake directly emitted a powerful aura. The strength of the Red Blood Tiger was suppressed, and then it was swallowed by the colorful spirit snake.
Xu Xiaochen got a seventh-grade demon pill, a red-blooded tiger skin.
Before the Red Blood Tiger died, an invisible demon soul was absorbed by the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Finally, the first monster was found in the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Xu Xiaochen even went in and took a look.
As soon as he entered, he discovered the red blood tiger transformed from spiritual energy. Without the help of the colorful spirit snake, he killed the red blood tiger for a while.
The moment the Red Blood Tiger dissipated, a stream of extremely pure and pure immortal spiritual energy immediately poured into his body, and his cultivation level immediately improved a lot, at least equivalent to a normal practice for one month.
While he was overjoyed, he wanted to wait for the Red Blood Tiger to reappear and kill again, but found that the Red Blood Tiger demon soul was no longer on the first floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
"The Red Blood Tiger is a seventh-grade monster. It should have gone to the third level. It seems that you have to kill some ninth-grade monsters so that the first level can be turned into a real place for cultivation."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Xiaochen learned the truth. Then he withdrew from the Demon-Suppressing Tower and continued to hunt monsters with the colorful spirit snakes.
After killing He Xie, the Blood God and Demon Seed were also sealed. The Blood God Daojun could only avoid it for the time being. Although Xu Xiaochen was relaxed, he felt that he was a little empty and could not adapt.
After obtaining the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he finally had a goal that could reach, that is, collect enough 10,000 demon souls of ninth-grade monsters, open the second level of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and truly turn the first level into the best place for cultivation.
He believed that with the help of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, his cultivation will definitely improve faster. The fourth level of the Dao Realm will no longer be far away!
In the following days, Xu Xiaochen brought the colorful spirit snake and hunted monsters in the Feixiong Mountains all day long, not letting go of them, whether they were the ninth, eighth or seventh grade.
Once, he and the colorful spirit snake even successfully killed a sixth-grade monster, the Green Fire Mantis.
There are more and more demon souls in the first floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower. All of these demon souls can turn into spiritual monsters and fight each other. After killing the other party, they can also absorb spiritual energy, make themselves powerful, and then appear at a higher level.
Xu Xiaochen had no time to practice in the tower. He was completely immersed in hunting activities, and even ignored the passage of time. Winter was coming soon, spring came, and summer...
In a blink of an eye, a year passed. During this year, Xu Xiaochen was hunting monsters at other times, except for occasionally cleaning up the harvest in the temporary cave.
He couldn't even remember how many monsters he had hunted.
At this time, Xu Xiaochen searched for a long time but did not find the monster. It was too dangerous to go deep into the mountains. If the monster was almost killed, the monster had been killed. Xu Xiaochen finally decided to practice for a while, improve his cultivation before continuing to go deep into the Feixiong Mountains.
Over the past year, the colorful spirit snake has devoured many monsters. Although most of them are below the sixth grade, they have won because of their large numbers and finally successfully grew to the sixth grade.
The golden elixir in Xu Xiaochen's body is running all the time, and Tian Fengyu continues to output pure spiritual energy. Although he has not practiced seriously, he has also improved.
Originally, he was at the third level of the Dao Realm, but now he has finally improved to the fourth level. He has improved by one level a year, which seems slow, but in fact it has been very fast.
Many third-level monks with good Taoist bones can at most improve such a small level after practicing in seclusion for one year. This shows that the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to practice.
It took a year for the third small layer to upgrade the fourth small layer. It takes at least four or five times more spiritual energy to upgrade the fifth small layer. If you continue like this, it will take at least five years to break through again. And it will be even slower in the future. It is simply unimaginable. Even with the help of spiritual elixirs and spirit stones, it is still impossible to guarantee that you can reach the fourth level of the Taoist realm within a hundred years. When Tian Fengyu activates the ban, Xu Xiaochen will definitely die.
Xu Xiaochen had been practicing very quickly before, and there was no rush at all. After checking the improvement this year, Xu Xiaochen finally realized the cruelty of reality and couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
