Cultivation of Immortality

After that, they traveled through the mountains at a speed of four to five hundred miles a day. Ten days later, Xunyi saw the monster for the first time. It was a giant ape that was more than two feet tall. It had a black body and light yellow eyes. Yes, when it was discovered by Ma Gang, it was resting on a towering ancient tree. When it sensed danger and wanted to escape, it was already too late. Ma Gang's flying sword penetrated its head, and the giant ape failed to even roar. It fell, and there was a deep muffled sound.

Ma Gang flew down with them, cut open the giant ape's lower abdomen with his sword, and found a blood-red bead the size of a soybean. He held it in his hand and said to the three Qi Gathering disciples, "Take a closer look. This is the demon." You can learn to refine the inner elixir of the beast after you enter the opening and melting stage. This thing is an important material for alchemy. "

Xunyi only glanced at Neidan before moving his gaze to the giant ape's corpse. This was the first time he saw such a large animal, and his heart was full of horror.

"Uncle Teacher, is this a monster that's been around for hundreds of years?" asked the 14th-level Qi Gathering disciple.

Ma Gang replied, "At least seven or eight hundred years ago."

Seven or eight hundred years, it would be over with just one sword... Xunyi felt infinite emotion in his heart. He suddenly thought of Xingshang and couldn't help but ask, "Then it can transform into a human form?"

Huang Zheng smiled and said, "It's early. If this thing wants to transform into a human form, it may not be possible for another thousand years."

Xun Yi was confused and said, "But I heard that the demon fox can transform into a human form after practicing for eight hundred years."

Ma Gang explained, "There are great differences between various monsters. Foxes are spiritual beasts and are born with higher intelligence, but those that can transform within a thousand years must be alien species. There are also snake monsters, flower monsters, etc." , some of them have the innate magical power of transformation. One thing you have to understand is that transformation and transformation are different. Transformation is a blinding method, while transformation is a real body. Monsters can be cultivated to a higher level. It is possible to transform into human form, but most people will not do that. Firstly, transforming will damage their cultivation, and secondly, it is not necessary. Only those who want to deal with human monks will choose to transform into human form. In fact, when it comes to being able to transform into human form, At this level, the use of transformation is enough to hide it from the eyes of ordinary monks."

So it turns out that Xunyi, who has gained experience, now wants to know whether Xingshang is a phantom or an incarnation.

shape.

Ma Gang collected the inner elixir and led the group to continue on their way. After knowing that he had arrived at an area where monsters were infested, Huang Zheng spread his consciousness while flying to search. He wanted to get a few inner elixirs back.

Ma Gang immediately stopped him and said in a stern tone, "Retract your consciousness quickly. If you do this, you may cause big trouble."

Huang Zheng smiled and said, "Is it possible that there can be beasts with great supernatural powers here?"

Ma Gang said solemnly, "I have never heard of a demon cultivator with great supernatural powers in the mountains tens of thousands of miles away, but there are many difficult things to deal with. We are leading the three of them now, so it is better to be cautious."

Although Huang Zheng was reluctant, he still withdrew his consciousness, secretly blaming Senior Brother Ma for being too timid.

They had been flying for nearly a month when they entered the mountains thousands of miles away. It was the middle of winter, and everything they looked at was covered with white snow. Although the scenery was magnificent and fantastic, Xunyi had long been tired of seeing it, but Huang Zheng's eyes had been searching around tirelessly. , he had killed five monsters along the way, one of which was a black tiger with golden eyes that was more than a thousand years old, which made him more interested in hunting.

Ma Gang's expression looked a little solemn. When it was time to stop and rest, he saw a long black trace on the snow in front of him. He immediately sent a spiritual message to Huang Zheng and ordered him to take Xun Yi to fly with him, while he took the other person with him. The two disciples pulled him to his side.

Huang Zheng also saw the black mark and asked excitedly, "Is it the Golden Fire Spirit Snake?"

Ma Gang was afraid that he would become greedy, so he warned, "I see that this monster has a very low level of cultivation, so I'd better avoid it first. Don't provoke it."

Huang Zheng was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to disobey Ma Gang.

After flying more than 300 miles, the horse stopped on a mountain. The unhappy Huang Zheng said, "I'll go have a look nearby." Then he flew toward a high mountain on the right and didn't come back until evening.

That night, Ma Gang, who was meditating, suddenly became alert, shouted loudly, and held his hand

The flying sword stabbed into the air, and everyone who still didn't know what happened heard a harsh sound of metal and stone hitting each other, and then there was a strong air wave that made them almost breathless.

Xunyi, who has been on high alert these days, activated the ice pattern shield he had been holding in his hand without thinking, and at the same time drew out the Jade Bamboo Sword. He now had the ability to see at night, and he couldn't help but be shocked at the first glance. Trembling, he saw Ma Gang fighting with a huge strange bird seven or eight feet above his head. The wingspan of the strange bird was more than four feet long. The air waves raised by the fan blew sand and rocks away, and a pair of Eyes as bright as lanterns.

At this time, Huang Zheng jumped into the air, activated his sword and joined in the fight. The strange bird fluttered its wings and soared into the sky as fast as the wind. Huang Zheng chased after it, the sword in his hand flashing with a dazzling white light.

When Ma Gang saw this, he shouted, "Come back! This is the owl peng, we can't chase it!"

Huang Zheng stopped when he heard the words. At this moment, the owl that had soared more than a hundred feet suddenly turned around and swooped down towards Huang Zheng like a sharp sword. Its beak shaped like a steel hook actually glowed with a faint blue light. This formation made Huang Zheng a little panicked. He hurriedly activated the protective divine light, and his whole body turned into a ball of green light and turned around to escape.

Ma Gang knew that he had too little experience in facing enemies and had no time to remind him to turn sharply to escape. He hurriedly rushed over and threw his flying sword to attack Owl Peng, but Owl Peng was too fast and caught up with Huang in the blink of an eye. Just then, the huge beak pecked hard at the divine light of body protection. In fact, with his cultivation level in the alchemy stage, the owl peng couldn't do anything to him. However, Huang Zheng was frightened after being hit hard, and the divine light of body protection almost hit him. collapse. Ma Gang's flying sword happened to have arrived at this time. Owl Peng didn't care about hurting Huang Zheng anymore and swung his huge claw to grab the flying sword. Ma Gang was secretly happy and urged the flying sword with all his strength to stab at the sharp claw. Just now because of his haste In response to the challenge, he failed to use his full strength, and now this sword was no small matter. When the sharp claws and the flying sword collided, the owl let out a shrill whistle, and his body tilted and fell diagonally. Not only did this sword It pierced its claws and injured its body.

At the moment when Owl Peng whined, the three Qi Gathering disciples in the distance simultaneously exclaimed,

They were stunned by the battle in front of them, and did not realize that the danger was approaching. When they suddenly felt a strong pressure on them, they discovered that another owl had flown above their heads. Its huge body covered the night sky, and it explored the sky. The two giant claws that came out emitted a faint blue light, and the bright lantern-like eyes burst out with a soul-stirring fierce light. Xunyi's mind went blank, and he instinctively threw the Jade Bamboo Sword at the giant eye that was rapidly approaching him. , and then he sat down on the ground. It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but his legs were too weak.

Being scared to the point of paralyzing on the ground is indeed cowardly, but given the situation of the score, it is good that Xun Yi can throw the sword at this time, but the other two people just paralyzed. Although they have been practicing for a long time, But I have never left the Xuanfang sect, and I don’t have as much experience in danger as Xunyi. Speaking of it, Xunyi’s situation is much more dangerous than theirs, because the owl peng stretches out its claws to them, and pecks Xunyi. Well, if Xun Yi hadn't counterattacked, he might have died at this moment.

The stunned Xunyi did not continue to use his spiritual power after throwing the Jade Bamboo Sword. However, at the moment of the shot, the bright light flashing from the Jade Bamboo Sword made the owl Peng fearful, so it turned its head and avoided it. He went over, opened his mouth and let out a violent cry.

With this moment of delay, Xunyi did not let himself continue to be cowardly, and tremblingly waved the demon-binding silk. At this life-threatening moment, of course, what he wanted to use most was Li Yan, but where could he concentrate his thoughts? Mobilizing the spiritual power of Lord Zhengtian, after throwing the demon-binding silk ribbon, he did not dare to think about killing the opponent. He only wanted to avoid being pecked, so the demon-binding silk ribbon wrapped around the owl's neck instead of its sharp beak. , this time he did not forget to use spiritual power to continue to stimulate, but his little cultivation was far from enough compared with his opponents. Moreover, he could not even perform 50% of it when he was frightened. Owl Peng had no idea. With great effort, he opened his mouth which was bound by the demon-binding silk ribbon.

Seeing the giant beak pecking at him again, Xunyi knew that it was too late to do anything. He could only close his eyes and pour all his cultivation power into the ice pattern shield. At this moment, his mind became blank again, and then The huge impact caused him to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and he fainted as soon as his vision went dark.
