I can identify everything, but the level is increased by one

“How could a discarded shell still be alive?”

The妖异 (yao yi - strange/monstrous) youth was shocked.

Could he also see ghosts?

“Perhaps it's a wisp of his divided spirit left behind?”

“Su Pingshan” responded hoarsely.

“But that shouldn't be either. Just a wisp of divided spirit is not enough to control a body. It would fall into a state of idiocy.”

The妖异 youth frowned.

At the time, they had not paid attention to that discarded shell. That person did not cultivate the path of a martial artist. The body had not been tempered and was ordinary flesh and blood, stinking, and they had no interest in even tasting it.

“Could it be that something has seized that body?”

“Like us.”

“Su Pingshan” offered another possibility.

The妖异 youth pondered and nodded:

“Either he re-entered that shell, but that's unlikely. With his primordial spirit cultivation, he could completely seize a better body. Returning to the original body would only expose him.”

“So the possibility you mentioned is still the greatest.”

“Besides us, someone else has sneaked in?”

A look of apprehension flashed across his face.

In order to pass through the Great Li's defenses against the Northern Border, they had paid a great price and caused a great disturbance, but someone had sneaked in silently?

He tried hard to search his memory. Which old monster was it?

“Su Pingshan” asked: “Then what should we do?”

“Let's test it out first and see what the possibility is.”

After pondering for a moment, the妖异 youth replied.

His original idea was to immediately start tracking once he detected traces, and eliminate it at all costs, but suddenly, the possibility of involving a fellow kind made him somewhat hesitant.

Human martial artists or true cultivators have a hard time killing them.

But cannibalism among their kind is commonplace.

“You go and pass on secret methods to two fools. If you find that this Su Han has an aura that doesn't belong to Great Li, and his soul strength is far beyond others, and his age doesn't match, then it's almost certain.”

The妖异 youth ordered. “Su Pingshan” nodded in agreement. Before they had finished eating the entire Su family, taking control of all the power, and growing up, it was best not to create unnecessary complications.

Peaceful County.

This martial arts contest was interrupted and ended, and everyone dispersed.

Although many people did not go on stage, including some top experts, after the previous scramble and melee, everyone was clear that once the dragon energy was released, everyone would grab their own.

Without a sufficiently powerful neutral force to monitor here, even if you determined the first place, and should have gotten more dragon energy, other families would still break the rules and scramble.

Moreover, two Qi Gate level experts had appeared here.

They also had no intention of fighting and competing.

After all, in the eyes of such experts, the so-called martial arts competition, genius battles, were like children playing house. In the end, even if a ranking came out, they could just deny it.

It was better not to compete.

After all, they were all genius martial artists, young and vigorous.

Even if they saw Su Han's terrifying performance today, that spirit of righteousness still existed. They were still unconvinced. You can subdue me with talismans, but you have to beat me into submission.

Most geniuses basically had this idea.

Of course, according to Yuan Xingkong, advanced geniuses above ordinary geniuses had another mentality, which could make them forever invincible, making people sigh at how terrifying they were.

“Okay, you kid can even climb up to Prince Yu's connections. Tell me, did that Xu Ruohai reward you with divine weapons, elixirs, and treasures? How about this poor pavilion master gets a share?”

After everyone dispersed, Yuan Xingkong came over, patted Su Han on the shoulder, and was a little surprised. He originally thought that Su Han had no backer, and would be targeted by some strong people, like the old Taoist of the Yin Shen Sect today.

This did confirm his guess.

But only half of it.

Who would have thought that Su Han really had a backer?

Su Han smiled: “Pavilion Master, don't make fun of me. This is just a coincidence, a stroke of luck. Of course, in a sense, it can also be regarded as planting good causes and getting good results.”

He roughly explained the matter of Zhao Caishu before.

This was not something worth hiding.

Xu Ruohai did not ask him to keep it secret.

After listening, Yuan Xingkong was even more surprised. There was such a wonderful encounter? A dignified royal relative, a prince and nobleman, who went in and out with fancy cars and beautiful women, could also be reduced to a refugee.

Even selling himself to a rural county family as a slave?

Should this Li family be said to be lucky or unlucky?

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: “You kid is really lucky. Planting good causes and getting good results. I have read this sentence many times, many times in books, and believed it to be true.”

“However, after leaving the academy, I found that good people are not rewarded, and those who are rescued and helped may be venomous snakes that bite people. I have been betrayed and deceived more than once. This is the norm of the world.”

“But you have not encountered this situation.”

“I am now more and more convinced that you are a person with great luck.”

“Pavilion Master, please don't praise me to death again. I am just a small Bone Forging martial artist. I am a little scared if you praise me so much.” Su Han looked serious and said with a smile. He felt that this was just survivor bias.

Perhaps there really are people with great luck in the world, the proud sons of heaven.

But it's not his turn, a fledgling kid.

“Whether it is praise to death or not, it will be clear later. However, today's battle also made me realize that my current strength is a bit insufficient. I have to advance to the Qi Gate as soon as possible. I am going to prepare medicinal materials.”

Yuan Xingkong began to sigh about himself again, and told Su Han:

“You also hurry back to retreat and digest the dragon energy you have gained. Although as a member of the Golden Pavilion, people from the imperial court are absorbing dragon energy, it feels like digging a hole in the wall and destroying the Great Wall.”

“But on second thought, the imperial court and the Holy One didn't object.”

He laughed loudly and left leisurely.

Su Han was speechless for a while. What a dark joke. If he were the Great Li emperor, seeing this bunch of rebellious officials and traitors,

Wouldn't he be so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, and the whole country up and down were moths?

Unfortunately, he wasn't. He was just an ordinary commoner.

He used to be a refugee that no one saved.

Even if this decadent court collapsed, he would not have any guilt.

Perhaps even the former Great Li Taizu would take action to accelerate the collapse of Great Li if he saw this scene.

Although he had never seen that Zhao Guangyin in person, from the Evergreen Scripture that had been improved by him, he could also vaguely perceive that his final thoughts and ideas were different from ordinary people.

“Dong dong dong.....

?”

In a quiet street in the county town, the sound of continuous iron beating came from a blacksmith shop. Next to it was a small lake. In this freezing weather, it miraculously did not freeze and was covered in a faint mist. Zhang Tie used a wooden bucket to fetch a bucket of water from the lake and carried it back to the shop.

"Master, is this bucket of water enough?"

He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was constantly forging iron, sparks flying, with a strong build, knotted muscles, and a beard, scratched his head, and asked.

Ever since being rescued from the Li Mansion by Su Han, he had been looking for a way to support himself and not burden others.

Among the many people, this master had chosen him for some reason.

He was also happy that he finally didn't have to trouble others.

Therefore, he had been working here as an apprentice, assisting with tasks.

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said indifferently, "Not enough."

Zhang Tie nodded, "Okay."

He took out a wooden bucket and ran to the lake to fetch water.

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Tie's back, raised his head to look at the sky, watching the azure sky with a trace of gold remaining,

shook his head, "Not enough, still not enough, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

He lowered his head and continued to hammer the sword that had been forged for ten years.

Li Mansion, top floor of the library.

Li Yueling looked at the sky, then retracted her gaze.

A burst of noise came from the distance below.

She knew that those people from the Yanfu Sect who had gone out to compete for dragon energy had returned.

During this period, the Li family was no longer the Li family.

Instead, it was the Yanfu Sect's base.

In front of the many martial artists of the Yanfu Sect, whether they were servants of the Li family or direct descendants, they had to be respectful.

Even her unreliable second brother had been reduced to a punching bag.

But this was also her father's decision.

He said that only in this way could the Li family take advantage of the situation and deter the many villains who were secretly coveting the Li family's vast fortune,

and stand firm.

So she was powerless to interfere.

And didn't want to interfere.

In her mind, the incantation of the Qingjing Sutra echoed non-stop.

Li Yueling's temperament became more and more serene and refined, as if she were a Taoist cultivator on a mountain, about to leave and no longer tread the mortal world.

Soon, she would complete the hundred-day foundation building.

At that time, she would be guided away by her sect, and it would be difficult for her to have any connection with the Li family again.

Only by severing all ties with this mortal world could she attain a pure heart and embark on the path of ascension to immortality.

But she also knew that worldly ties were not so easily broken.

She was not a heartless person, and her father had raised her for more than ten years.

The Li family was facing difficulties and could not be ignored or unheard.

And the predicament arose because of the young man named Su Han.

She needed to solve this predicament before she could leave without worry.

Perhaps she could seek help from her sect.

Seek help from the master who taught her the incantation of the Qingjing Sutra.

But would that Real Person Linghua really agree to her request?

She knew very well that she had joined a pure Taoist sect that pursued detachment from the world, severing ties with the mortal world, and ascending to immortality.

If it weren't for this,

her father would have long used her name to develop the Li family.

But no matter what, she had to try, right?

After all, when Real Person Linghua taught her the incantation, she once said that her talent was very good and that she had the opportunity to condense a pure heart.

As long as she condensed a pure heart, like the Supreme Being, she could become a Dao child.

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the Taoist statue with a blurred face that she enshrined in the閣楼.

She knelt on the ground and said respectfully:

"Disciple Li Yueling, respectfully invites the founder of the Louguan Taoist sect....

Inside the training room, Su Han sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Today, among the many forces, he had obtained the most dragon energy.

He only needed to slightly release a bit of the aura of the Dragon-Tiger Martial Body, and the dragon energy would rush straight over, unstoppable.

Therefore, a large amount of dragon energy was rolling and boiling within his body.

It even gave him a feeling of being bloated from eating too much.

Such a large amount was enough for him to condense a dragon energy Dao pattern, but unfortunately, the nature of this dragon energy was relatively similar to the dragon-tiger energy.

Condensing it into a Dao pattern would not be very useful and would also waste a slot.

So he simply used it to nurture and enhance the Dragon-Tiger Martial Body.

As well as to further sublimate the Dragon-Tiger Dao pattern.

As time passed, the dragon energy was comprehended and absorbed, and the Dragon-Tiger Martial Body was further improved.

The already manifested phenomena gradually transformed towards the Dharma form.

What is a Dharma form?

Today, Xu Ruohai's ten-zhang golden armored general holding a halberd was the best example.

With one blow, he could beat the old Taoist of the Yin God Sect, who was suppressing his own Yin spirit, to flee.

It could be said to be a true transcendent power.

I am afraid that he can gradually use manpower to resist natural disasters.

This made him extremely envious.

Therefore, the subjective initiative of nurturing the Dharma form was greatly improved.

Even if it was nurtured, it might not be able to reach the size of Xu Ruohai's prestige, but that was also a progress from zero to one.

With qualitative progress, the next step is quantitative accumulation,

What are you afraid of not reaching ten zhang in size?

Not to mention ten zhang, hundreds of zhang and thousands of zhang are possible.

Yuan Xingkong said.

The Qi Guan masters not only have a mouthful of true Qi internally, this Qi is innate, with various mysteries, but also externally practice and consume the Qi of heaven and earth, and then control the vitality of heaven and earth.

Just like that old Taoist of the Yin God Sect, controlling the vitality of heaven and earth, causing it to solidify and turn into shackles, firmly locking himself, making it difficult to break free, can be called "Ten Thousand Things Vitality Lock".

And how much vitality can be controlled depends entirely on oneself.

If the innate true energy in the body is sufficient, the spiritual cultivation is sufficient, and the power of the divine treasure has not been exhausted, then the control power can be continuously extended, I am afraid that controlling the vitality of a city is not a problem.

That is a true inhuman existence, beyond the reach of mortals.

At night, the stars hung high in the sky.

Su Han opened his eyes, his body flashing with golden light, like a god or saint.

Today's harvest benefited him a lot, the Dragon-Tiger Martial Body further evolved, and the Dharma form was about to be nurtured.

It is estimated that another dragon energy eruption will solve it.

And the power of the Dragon-Tiger Dao pattern has also been improved by a level, and he can temporarily improve more life cultivation.

Now, even if he only uses the power of the Dragon-Tiger Dao pattern, he can defeat ordinary skin refiners.

Standing up, the golden light disappeared.

Su Han walked out of the room and took a walk.

Suddenly, he saw Zhuge Xi was also in the courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "Such a clear starry sky has been rare recently."

Zhuge Xi heard the words and nodded subconsciously.

But soon he reacted, suddenly stunned, and looked at Su Han: "Brother Su, you have already left the customs? Didn't you get a lot of dragon energy?"

"A lot? It feels pretty easy to refine."

Su Han blinked and replied.

He had almost refined the dragon energy at this moment, but refining is refining, and the effect of the dragon energy will still last for a long time, blessing himself.

After all, the absorption rate of the Dragon-Tiger Martial Body is also limited.

Zhuge Xi was speechless for a while.

This monster, the dragon energy, a mysterious thing, involves the energy of mountains and rivers, the energy of the country, and the energy of the king, is extremely difficult to subdue and refine,

Ordinary martial artists can't even control the dragon energy and will be backlashed and seriously injured.

As a result, Su Han is fine.

He got the most dragon energy and refined it the fastest.

Others are still worried about the backlash of dragon energy.

You have already left the customs.

However, perhaps it is the appearance of such a person that can carry the wishes of more people, Zhuge Xi sighed in his heart, thinking of a certain idea of his own before.

His expression became solemn, he looked up at the stars, and asked Su Han:

"Brother Su, if the troubled times have come, what do you want to do?"
