Fairy Tree

The lightning dispersed, revealing the extremely embarrassed figure of Xiao Lin. His face was pale, blood was still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his green robe was severely damaged and could hardly cover his body. He took a deep breath and looked at the dark light and shadow that disappeared in the sky. His face was extremely ugly.

However, he smiled bitterly with helplessness on his face. Feeling the mana in his dantian that was almost exhausted, he hurriedly took out a big Huiyuan pill and put it in his mouth. The mana began to flow slowly and began to fill his dantian.

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Xiao Lin was silent. He didn't expect that the battle he was full of confidence in would eventually let Qi Chang run away. This made him feel very uneasy.

However, despite his helplessness, he also understood that if Qi Chang chose to attack him after swallowing the black pill instead of running away, after the small sword symbol exploded, it would be hard to say whether he could take it in his state. If he didn't do it well, he would be the one who fell.

Qi Chang obviously understood this truth, but at the last moment, he still chose to escape. After all, he didn't want to gamble for an uncertain fight unless it was absolutely necessary. If he won, it would be fine. If he lost, he would be doomed.

Moreover, after today's battle, Qi Chang was also full of fear of Xiao Lin. He would not be naive to think that he could kill this man with this high-level weapon symbol. After all, the scene of Xiao Lin killing his two companions was as if in front of him.

For safety, he still chose to escape. On Cuihuo Island, he also saw Xiao Lin's great perfection-level wind control technique. He knew that he could not get rid of this man's pursuit by relying on ordinary control weapons alone, so he risked the loss of a black magic pill, stimulated his potential and fled.

This battle was a heavy loss for Qi Chang. Not only did he fail to kill Xiao Lin, but he also lost two trump cards. However, it also gave him a deeper understanding of Xiao Lin. For him, if he could keep the green mountains, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. There was no need to gamble with his life.

Looking at the dissipated light of the sapphire shield, Xiao Lin also showed a look of relief on his face. Although Qi Chang only sent out a high-level instrument talisman, this instrument talisman was a combination of the self-explosion of the magic weapon itself and the small thunderstorm technique, which almost instantly tore apart his virtual Yuan Ling Shield defense.

The sapphire shield also dissipated its spiritual light under the explosion of the magic weapon and lost its defensive power. If it were not for the spiritual shield, which blocked the attack of the small thunderstorm technique at the last moment, I am afraid that even if I didn't die at this moment, I would definitely be seriously injured.

This made Xiao Lin full of fear. I thought that I had relied on the virtual Yuan Ling Shield and the sapphire shield to have a tortoise shell-like defense, but I didn't expect that it would be easily broken under the explosive power of this high-level instrument talisman.

It seems that I really can't underestimate any cultivator. Who knows if the other party has a more powerful attack method than the instrument talisman? After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin sighed softly and retracted his gaze to the void.

He used the Seven Blades to pick out a blood-stained storage bag from the broken flesh of the Wu cultivator, and then collected the storage bag of the female cultivator Jiang. He threw a fireball to burn the remains of the Wu cultivator. After a while, he took a deep breath, controlled the Seven Blades, flew away, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

......

Xueling Immortal City, the largest immortal city in the Tianlu Mountains.

This immortal city not only gathers a large number of high-level and great perfection cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, but also many foundation-building cultivators.

Because Xueling Immortal City is located in the center of the five major sects, and it is rumored that this immortal city was originally built by the five major sects for the disciples of the five major sects to trade cultivation resources with each other, this immortal city is extremely rare. It is built on a medium-sized spirit stone vein, making this immortal city full of rich spiritual energy.

For cultivators, being able to cultivate in Xueling Immortal City is something they can show off to their descendants. Unfortunately, in order to prevent a large number of low- and middle-level cultivators from gathering in Xueling Immortal City, the five major sects have set a rather harsh rule.

That is, anyone who enters Xueling Immortal City must have a cultivation level above the middle stage of Qi Refining, and each time they enter the city, they must pay a high entrance fee of ten low-grade spirit stones. This rule immediately blocked most of the low- and middle-level Qi Refining cultivators from the city.

Even some poor high-level Qi Refining cultivators were blocked from entering this immortal city. Even the outer disciples of the five major sects had to think twice before entering and leaving this immortal city. After all, ten low-grade spirit stones were also a considerable expense.

On this day, Xiao Lin drove the Seven Blades and saw a huge city covered in snow from afar. Because Xueling Fairy City is located in the north of Tianlu Mountains, it snows all year round and the entire fairy city is covered in ice and snow. However, despite this, Xiao Lin was still quite shocked when he saw this fairy city. Xueling Fairy City is located in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only on the south side is there a huge city wall that is 20 feet high.

The city wall of Xueling Fairy City is different from that of Chixia Fairy City and Wuyin Fairy City. It is made of huge snow-white rocks. Moreover, on the city wall of Xueling Fairy City, every hundred feet, there is a stone building more than 30 feet high. A huge formation flag flashes on the stone building. Xueling Fairy City is the only fairy city in Tianlu Mountains with a city defense formation.

For hundreds of years, once the Tianlu Cultivation Realm encounters an invasion from a foreign enemy, this Snow Ridge Immortal City will become a pass. At that time, a large number of disciples of the five major sects will gather in this Immortal City, and at the same time, the city defense formation will be activated to fight against the enemy. Foreign enemies fought fiercely, but such a thing had not happened for hundreds of years. Naturally, the city defense formation had not been activated for hundreds of years.

Xiao Lin pressed the escape light and seemed a little low-key, but this can't be blamed on him. Outside the Snow Ridge Fairy City, powerful escape lights whizzed past from time to time, and there was even a huge escape light that was several feet long. The scene of light flying past Xiao Lin.

The moment this huge escaping light flew past Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin even felt a cold gaze directed at him. The feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake immediately made Xiao Lin's hair stand on end, and at the same time he felt a chill. An astonishing amount of spiritual pressure hit his face, making all the muscles in his body tense instantly.

Needless to say, this person must be a genuine cultivator in the foundation-building stage. Seeing the middle-aged monk in his forties flying past him, Xiao Lin was frightened and secretly envious of the cultivator in the foundation-building stage. Only then can one be considered a true cultivator.

In the world of cultivation, although cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage have acquired various methods that are inconceivable to ordinary people, they are still essentially mortals, and their lifespan is only a pitiful one hundred years.

Once the foundation is successfully established, the longevity can instantly reach a terrifying two hundred years or more. To a mortal, this is already a monster-like existence. If such a person has an heir, I am afraid that he will still be there even after the heir dies several times. Live happily now.

Compared with the millions of Qi-refining stage cultivators in several fairy cities in the Tianlu Mountains, the number of Foundation-building stage cultivators is undoubtedly extremely rare. One hundred Qi-refining stage Dzogchen cultivators can have two or three Build-up stage cultivators. The foundation is already very good, and it is a normal probability that one of a hundred Dzogchen cultivators in the foundation-building period can form a golden elixir. It can be seen that in this world of cultivation, the level of monks also follows The laws of the pyramid.

After Xiao Lin felt envious, he could only sigh secretly, but this also increased his desire to follow the Tao.

Xiao Lin landed on a snow-white clearing outside the Snow Ridge Fairy City. Snowflakes were still floating in the sky, but outside the Snow Ridge Fairy City, there was already a queue that was a hundred meters long.

Needless to say, these people are all cultivators waiting to enter the Snow Ridge Immortal City. Outside the Snow Ridge Immortal City, there are escape lights falling from time to time. However, these falling escape lights, whether they are casual cultivators or disciples of the five major sects, , as long as they are in the Qi refining stage, they all obediently join the queue entering the city.

As for the foundation-building senior who just flew past Xiao Lin, he walked swaggering towards the fairy city without even looking at the long queue from beginning to end.

This made Xiao Lin sigh with emotion, and many of the monks in the team also looked at the man with envy, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction on their faces. Instead, they all looked as they should.

Xiao Lin put on the breath-condensing mask on his way to the Snow Ridge Fairy City and transformed into a 27- or 27-year-old man with a sallow complexion. In front of him was a sturdy man who looked to be in his thirties. The big man had a fierce expression on his face, and he also carried a long sheathed sword on his back, just like a man in the world.

Behind Xiao Lin, there is a beautiful woman with a cold face. She looks to be in her twenties, with fair skin, moist eyes and red lips, and eyebrows like curved willow leaves, which makes her delicate and elegant. Breath, unfortunately, her fair face was like the ice and snow in the sky, with a strong chill. Seeing Xiao Lin looking at her, her face became even colder.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but touched his nose with some boredom, and turned around. He didn't want to get into trouble for no reason, not to mention the pressure of the Qi Refining Stage Dzogchen that emerged from the woman made Xiao Lin tremble. Very afraid.

The burly man in front of Xiao Lin turned out to be a Dzogchen practitioner in the Qi Refining Stage. He was sandwiched between two Dzogchen practitioners in the Qi Refining Stage, which made him quite uncomfortable.

However, Xiao Lin also understands that with the Catacomb Trial coming soon, there will probably be quite a lot of high-level Qi-refining cultivators coming to this Snow Ridge Fairy City. Compared to usual, this fairy city now has fewer high-level Qi-Refining stage cultivators than usual. I'm afraid it will be much more.

The fact is indeed as Xiao Lin guessed. The catacomb trial is only opened every thirty years. For a large number of casual cultivators, this is nothing less than a great opportunity. You must know that for many casual cultivators without family backgrounds, Generally speaking, unless you have the qualifications of the Emperor's Spiritual Root or above, the only way to join the five major sects is through the catacomb trial.

It is precisely because of this that every time the cave is opened, a large number of high-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage will enter it to try their luck. If they can pick a purple spirit flower from it, it will be a step to the sky for them. , there is a glimmer of possibility to continue on the road of cultivation.
