Chapter 91 Spring Hunting in the Hundred Mountains (31)
After Xu Yan took out the inner elixir of the Crazy Griffon, he ignored his body, but instead took a Crazy Griffon's animal egg, and then sat in the cave and started to enjoy the extra food.
Compared to Xiaocai's raw bird eggs, Xu Yan is much more elegant. He just smashed a small hole in the eggshell and sucked the egg white into his mouth. It can be seen that the crazy griffin started to hatch eggs for quite a short time, because these beast eggs are no different from when they were just born. Even compared to the chicken, duck, goose eggs that people usually eat the most often, the crazy griffin eggs taste much more delicious.
First, it has no fishy smell, only a faint fragrance, which is very similar to the taste of the inner alchemy. Secondly, it has a strong energy, which is also a rare and great tonic for practitioners.
After Xu Yan finished eating the egg of this crazy griffin, he felt a sense of fullness. Then, he even noticed that a large amount of energy was slowly spreading in his body, and then it was constantly absorbed and swallowed by his martial arts true qi. But at the same time, some of the energy was absorbed by his extremely solid Qi Mansion.
In the practice of swordsmanship, especially in the condensation of Qi Mansion, Xu Yan has never deliberately used external forces to improve it. Only the ten years of skills obtained from Zhao Bailian is the first external force he has absorbed since he has practiced Jiandao. The reason is naturally because he is not familiar with this way of practice, and is afraid that the random use of external forces will easily affect his foundation. However, when he saw that the energy emitted from the egg of the mad griffin beast was absorbed by the Qi Mansion, he did not stop it. Instead, he looked at it with interest.
Unlike improving the true qi of martial arts, the practice of Qi Mansion basically depends on his own persistent meditation to absorb the continuous spiritual energy of heaven and earth to accumulate and enhance it bit by bit. Qi Mansion itself has never had a precedent for actively absorbing other energy. In addition, because Xu Yan himself has never been exposed to any practice in swordsmanship, he naturally cannot understand the specific reasons for the current situation.
However, he was not worried about the current situation. After all, after absorbing Zhao Bailian's ten years of skill, his Qi Mansion was already infinitely close to breaking through to the fourth floor. At most, after it absorbed this energy, it would naturally break through to the middle three realms. As for why he never made a breakthrough before, it was just to listen to the advice given to him by the Cardinal, and wanted to fully familiarize himself with this power first, and then make a breakthrough after integrating it into his own use. However, doing so does not mean that he is really far from the four realms, or the middle three realms.
Speaking of this, we have to mention that in fact, after Xu Yan received Zhao Bailian's teaching of the Sword Qi Record and felt the changes in his Qi Mansion after waking up, he had already realized the sacrifices his master made in order to speed up his progress in swordsmanship.
Ten years of skill may not be anything to Zhao Bailian, but for Xu Yan, the meaning is completely different. After all, he has only been three years since his practice. If the latter had not given him this opportunity, he would have never had a chance to enter the Middle Three Realm. Moreover, when he broke through from the second floor to the third floor, he was already a little too hasty.
Of course, the reason why he did this at that time was more because he wanted to stand out from that selection match and get the best rewards. Even in the current Baishan Spring Hunting, if he only had a two-story sword cultivation, even if he learned multiple sets of sword techniques afterwards, it would definitely not be so easy.
The energy contained in a crazy griffin animal egg is limited after all, and most of it is swallowed by the true qi of martial arts. Therefore, his Qi Mansion did not absorb too much energy. However, Xu Yan felt that after the Qi Mansion absorbed these energy, the trajectory of its circulation showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it revealed a strong desire for energy.
Feeling this, Xu Yan thought for a while, then took out a few newly picked wild fruits from the storage bag under Xiaocai's guidance, and then swallowed them into his stomach.
These fruits are naturally not ordinary fruits, but the fruits full of spiritual energy that Xu Yan snatched from the protection of various spirit beasts. Although he just ate them directly, his effect is
It is far less effective than the elixirs refined by asking an alchemist to cooperate with other spiritual herbs, but since Xu Yan is still in the deep mountains and forests at this time, how can he have any room for pickiness?
Without any hesitation, Xu Yan ate five fruits in one breath. They were like the beast eggs of the crazy griffin. After being swallowed by him, they emitted bursts of energy. However, it was obvious that their energy was not large. Even if Xu Yan deliberately controlled the martial arts true qi to swallow a little bit, they still failed to make any changes in the Qi Mansion after being absorbed by this Qi Mansion. It was like a stone sinking into the sea and could not cause any waves.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yan felt that after devouring the energy of these fruits, the Qi Mansion seemed to have a greater desire to devour, and immediately raised his sword eyebrows.
In his storage capsule, there are not many such fruits with spiritual energy. After all, it is still spring, and there are quite few species that can bear fruit in this season. If it enters summer and autumn, perhaps under the guidance of Xiaocai, he will be able to pick more fruits.
Looking at the only seven fruits left in the storage bag, Xu Yan was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should continue to swallow them. After all, it was a waste to eat them like this as ordinary fruits. But in the end, after some weighing, he gritted his teeth and took them out. After all, it was extremely rare that this kind of situation occurred in the Qi Mansion in his body.
Compared to the preciousness of these fruits, Xu Yan wanted to see how much energy this Qi Mansion could swallow him.
After a cup of tea.
Xu Yan finished eating all the fruits he picked, including four or five different varieties, but the energy they contained in them still could not make the Qi Mansion change too much, but it only made its operation look much better than usual.
If the Qifu in normal times is just running in a turtle-climbing manner, then its degree is now as high as the Rabbit.
But there is no doubt that its degree is far from reaching its limit.
Xu Yan was speechless. For some reason, this abnormal phenomenon made him feel a little premonition that he was about to break the realm. But what made him feel a little embarrassed was that the fruit he could eat directly at this moment was gone, and there were still many spiritual herbs in the storage bag, but before it was refined into elixirs, it was like ordinary weeds and could not be eaten at all.
Xu Yan was a little worried, why did he have signs of breaking the realm at this time? He sighed softly, but there was no way, so he could only feel cruel in his heart and took out an inner pill from a relatively weak level three spirit beast from the storage bag. He ignored the warning Chen Qinghe had given him before and swallowed it in one mouthful.
The smallest inner elixir was about the size of a red date. After Xu Yan threw it into his mouth, he found that it was like the elixirs made from finished products, which melted in his mouth and turned into a stream of air and quickly penetrated into his body. The final result did not disappoint him. The energy emitted by the inner elixir was undoubtedly much higher than the energy brought by all the fruits before. The two can be described as vastly different.
There was a "boom".
Xu Yan only felt that in his body, a storm suddenly seemed to be rolling up.
Then, the energy emitted from the inner elixir rushed through the final blockade in the dam like a mountain torrent, and cracked and exploded in his body. Xu Yan felt this powerful energy, without any stagnation, and immediately controlled the Qi Mansion to absorb it frantically. And just after his Qi Mansion successfully pulled this energy, its operation continued to accelerate, so that when it was about to absorb all the energy of this inner elixir, it seemed to have become a reduced version of the Eye of Hurricane.
Xu Yan felt that his body was filled with an incomprehensible terrifying crisis, and this crisis was no less than the sword spirit power that the Cardinal slashed him in Changle.
He clearly realized that if he could not reach the fourth floor smoothly this time, it would be even more difficult for him to break through again next time.
Time passed by about half a quarter of an hour.
The energy of the inner alchemy swallowed by Xu Yan was finally completely absorbed by his Qi Mansion, which made it look like it really turned into a hurricane.
Eye of
Xu Yan closed his eyes and felt the number of circles it was running in each breath, and then came up with an astonishing answer, which was 888 times. Unfortunately, at this level of operation, the Qi Mansion could not be divided into two as the dragon's mouth said, and even a crack could not be achieved.
Xu Yan was very troubled by this. Logically speaking, from the third floor to the fourth floor, he had only a slight difference, and he should have succeeded without much effort, but the result was very different from what he imagined. Let’s not talk about the fruits and the beast eggs of the crazy griffin. Even the energy contained in the third level inner alchemy is enough to be as powerful as the energy superimposed by ten Peiyuan Pills.
"Did I use the wrong method?"
Xu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but immediately shook his head again. Even if he used the wrong method, he had no way back now, because he knew very well that in this case, if he stopped and continued to break through, not to mention how difficult it would be to make a breakthrough in the future, even if he could not calm down the operation of the Qi Mansion at the moment, which would lead to a great loss of his foundation.
"If you don't succeed, you will be successful!"
Xu Yan gritted his teeth, and a trace of determination flashed in his deep eyes. He directly took out the blood-colored inner pill as big as an egg from the Blood Wolf King from the storage bag, and then opened his mouth and forced it into it.
"Boom!"
The next moment.
In Xu Yan's body, there was a huge energy tide, rolling like a river and sea, but without exception, they all rushed to the flying Qi Mansion in Xu Yan's body in a moment. Since the huge energy emitted by the Blood Wolf King's inner elixir was supported, Xu Yan felt that the speed of the Qi Mansion in his body had finally improved significantly.
In a blink of an eye, it ran a thousand times in each breath, but this was far from enough.
Xu Yan's face was gloomy and no longer took it lightly. He had all his strength to control the Qi Mansion to continuously absorb these rolling and majestic energy.
A quarter of an hour later, the operation of his Qi Mansion completely exceeded 1,500 times, and at this moment, he also realized that most of the energy emitted from the Blood Wolf King's inner alchemy was officially absorbed.
Xu Yan felt the Qi Mansion that was still without a trace of cracks at all, and his expression was depressed. This made him highly doubt that he might have chosen the wrong way to break through, but now that things have come to this point, can he still have a way? There is no way back.
Another quarter of an hour passed quietly.
All the energy contained in the Blood Wolf King's inner elixir was absorbed by the Qi Mansion.
At this moment, the degree of Qi Mansion that was circulating within one breath reached an astonishing 1,800 times.
Xu Yan didn't know the meaning of this value, but after seeing that his Qi Mansion was still there, he couldn't help but sigh with a frustration. He never thought that the physical constitution of the heavenly spirit root, which he was called the most outstanding, would be so difficult when he broke through the middle three realms. Compared to his practice of martial arts, it was simply a huge gap between heaven and earth.
However, just as Xu Yan was completely depressed, he suddenly heard another sound, "Crack!"
The sound is like the sound of a ceramic pot that cannot withstand the high temperature and breaks, but for Xu Yan at this moment, it is like a real sound of nature.
Xu Yan looked at the qi house in a concentrated manner and saw that it was running rapidly. He was overwhelmed and a crack appeared from the middle part.
Urgently, under such extreme operational force, it was divided into two and turned into two Qi Mansions.
Xu Yan let out a breath with relief and slowly opened his eyes.
The next moment, among the mountains and rivers, countless spiritual energy in the world hangs upside down like the Milky Way, pouring down and rushing directly into the cave on this cliff.
Xu Yan greedily absorbed these spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The sword cultivation on him jumped from the original peak of the three-story building to the four-story building, and then rose to the middle section of the four-story building, and the peak of the four-story building only ended suddenly after it was extremely close to the five-story building.
Xu Yan felt the new realm he had reached, and his mood was already unpredictable,
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At this moment, he suddenly understood why he was so difficult and bumpy when he broke through to the Middle Three Realms.
"Is this accumulating weight?"
...
Just five miles away from the cave where Xu Yan was, a group of young disciples suddenly stopped.
The man looked ugly and turned his head to look at the people following him, and asked, "Did you feel the sudden disappearance just now that the breath that suddenly disappeared is so strong, do you feel it?"
Hearing Zhou Yu speak first and seeing no one among the people who are traveling with him answered, Yan Ziyi said, "Of course I felt it, but I don't know what kind of monster it is, and it seems that it is not too far from us."
"Yes, it shouldn't be five miles away from us. We have to speed up and take a look. I hope it will be a spirit beast."
However, when Zhou Yu and others arrived at the location where Xu Yan was, they saw nothing.
Zhou Yu's face was gloomy. He glanced at the bare cliff on the left side of the dense forest, then withdrew his gaze and said, "It's so strange. The breath I felt just now was obviously nearby, but there was only a cliff here. Could it be that it was something that came out of this breath, and I noticed in advance that we were approaching and had already run away?"
In the past three days, Zhou Yu and others have never encountered even a third-level spirit beast because they were walking on the road that Xu Yan had taken. Of course, they have not met the disciples of the Lotus Sect. It seemed that after entering this yellow-haired tip, both the spirit beasts and the Lotus Sect had disappeared out of thin air. If Yan Ziyi had not carefully checked a trace of footprints before, they even felt that Xu Yan and others had sneaked back to the sect long ago.
Yan Ziyi also just glanced at the cliff outside the mountain, then withdrew his gaze. He said, "It seems that the truth is as the Second Young Master said. That thing should have the innate ability to perceive the danger aura, so it slipped away when we approached."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu said in a deep voice with a very ugly expression: "Since there is nothing here, then we should not stop too much and keep moving forward!"
Hearing the other party's words, Yan Ziyi couldn't help but glance at Wu Hao. Seeing that the latter's eyes narrowed slightly, as if a cold light flashed, he immediately spoke to Zhou Yu, "That... Second Young Master, this is the hinterland of the middle section of Huangmaojian Mountains. If we continue to walk forward, we will enter the upper section of Huangmaojian. Are you...are you sure you still want to continue north?"
Zhou Yu heard what he meant, and did not talk to him anymore, but said directly to Wu Hao: "Brother Wu, with your strength, in the yellow-haired sharp area, you will never..."
Seeing that he deliberately stretched his words but didn't finish them, Wu Hao didn't care, but just smiled and said, "Second Young Master, then lead the way!"
...
After Zhou Yu and others continued to leave to the north, they didn't know that on the cliff they had already looked at before, a disciple of the Lotus Sect was slowly crawling out of the cave they could even see if they could even stick out a little more.
Just now, Xu Yan naturally heard the movements and conversations between Zhou Yu and others. He looked at the only path leading to the upper mountain range in front of him, and without any hesitation, he immediately followed.
"Congratulations on breaking through again, Xu Yan, but do you really want to keep up with them? The martial arts cultivator who injured you before is stronger than you?"
Hearing Xiao Cai's voice coming from the sea of consciousness, Xu Yan, who was striding forward in a deep voice, said, "Of course we have to keep up with them. Although Wu Hao's cultivation in martial arts is one-grade higher than mine, I now have a certain confidence to fight him head-on."
"Okay, since you have decided, it's up to you, but I'm going to fall asleep. I feel like I'm going to break through to Level 6 after eating so much inner alchemy and the transformed grass."
