Immortal Road

Chapter 6

Three months passed by in a flash. Under the guidance of the old beggar, Ishikawa made rapid progress and had reached the second level of Qi training. In the words of the old beggar, this was achieved entirely by relying on Ishikawa's natural spiritual roots.

You know, that cultivator didn't just pile up a lot of pills and spiritual stones.

But for outer disciples like Ishikawa, let alone elixirs and spiritual stones, even medicine residues are rarely seen. These are all exclusive to inner disciples.

I heard that once upon a time, a disciple from the outer sect went to the inner sect to help light a fire and make elixirs. He stole a spiritual elixir and came out. After being discovered, he cut off his hand tendons and hamstrings and hung them on the outer gate for seven days before he died.

From then on, outer disciples were not allowed to enter the alchemy workshop, and most of them were assigned to work in the weapon refining workshop.

……………………

Going to see Elder Yun on the first day of every month is an indispensable homework for Ishikawa. However, Ishikawa does not have to worry about his cultivation being seen through by Elder Yun, because the earth mother stone can conceal the earth aura on his body.

Every time, Elder Yun would ask Ishikawa to use the "Water Dragon Technique", but this "Water Dragon Technique" was of no use to Ishikawa. This made Elder Yun very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, the time of each meeting became shorter and shorter. This time, after Ishikawa seriously ran the "Water Dragon Jutsu", it still had no effect at all. Elder Yun directly waved Ishikawa away.

"It's a good day again." Ishikawa came out of the back mountain, his face full of joy. What makes Ishikawa different from other outer disciples is that he doesn't have to do anything on the first day of every month. This was decided by Fatty Hong, the outer deacon, and no one dared to ask why.

Therefore, it is best for Ishikawa not to be in a hurry to go back and to find a quiet place to practice his skills.

If only there were a few more days, Ishikawa would be able to break through the third level of Qi training stage. However, Ishikawa is still a little troubled. The vitality provided by the mother stone is too little, which is not enough for cultivation, and the so-called elixirs are even more illusory. Ishikawa also collected a lot of herbs on the mountain, but there is no elixir. He doesn't have tools, let alone refining elixirs, so refining elixirs by yourself is simply not feasible.

After finding a secluded spot in the grass, Ishikawa sat down and began to meditate.

Just after half an hour of breathing, Ishikawa suddenly heard a rustling sound. Ishikawa immediately became alert. He was wearing the clothes of an outer disciple. If someone saw him, he might be considered lazy here. Anyway, this kind of thing is hard to explain.

Ishikawa concentrated and held his breath, looking through the gaps in the grass, and saw a man and a woman walking from a distance, wearing the clothes of inner disciples.

The man has the sixth level of Qi training stage, and the woman also has the fifth level of Qi training stage.

"Junior sister Zhang, if you said that we have found such a precious spiritual herb this time, the deacon elder will definitely be very happy, and maybe he will accept us as registered disciples."

"Yes!" The woman was behind the man, and suddenly a silver ball of light condensed in her hand.

"Could it be that this woman wants to sneak attack on her fellow disciples here?" Ishikawa almost shouted,

Sure enough, the woman actually hit the man with an ice pick, hitting him in the back of the heart.

"Ah!" The man screamed and turned around, with a small silver sword in his hand.

He scolded angrily: "Junior Sister Zhang, are you crazy? How dare you sneak attack me?"

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​I think you are crazy. If you take such a good spiritual herb and give it to my Tian family ancestors first, the benefits to you will not be much less, but you insist on giving it to the deacon elder first. Since you don't allow it, , don’t blame me for being ruthless, junior sister.”

"You must also have this ability." The man was furious.

"Your cultivation level is only one level higher than mine. Look at the talisman!" The woman took out a yellow talisman seal from her arms.

The man hurriedly threw the silver sword in his hand to resist, "Boom!" The silver sword was broken into two parts, and most of his clothes were destroyed. A stream of blood spat out from his mouth, and he must have been seriously injured.

Ishikawa was so angry that he didn't dare to take a breath. Both of these two people were higher in cultivation than him, and they also had spiritual weapons and talismans in their hands. Ishikawa had no power to fight back. He only hoped that the two of them would leave quickly after settling their grudges.

"Okay, okay, okay! You are really willing to spend money. The power of the Sky-shattering Talisman is really strong." The man said three good words in a row. "Even if I die here today, I will have you as my back-up."

"Senior brother, I think you should save your time. If you give up your cultivation now, I can leave you a way to live." The woman sneered and took out a thick stack of talismans in her hand. "Although my cultivation is better than You are inferior, but I have seriously injured you, and you can't get close to me now. These talismans alone can turn you into dust."

"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!" The man recited the spell silently, and his body was surrounded by a burst of thick water vapor, which instantly condensed into ice.

"Ice armor! Is that much strength?" The woman sneered and threw the talisman in her hand as if it was free of charge.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Sky-shattering Talisman was thrown out one after another. Although the sound was not loud, the power was indeed not small. Ishikawa already felt a strong shock from a distance.

"This is the strength of cultivators!" Ishikawa couldn't help but feel an eye-opening feeling. Not to mention dozens of Sky-shaking Talisman, just one of them, Ishikawa couldn't resist. And that man, even though he was injured, used the ice armor technique to withstand dozens of blows, which showed that he was very strong.

Half an hour later, the battle between the two came to an end, and four or five of their spiritual weapons were broken. The spiritual weapons used by the two were almost evenly matched, but the woman had the upper hand with her large number of talismans.

If the man had not been attacked, he would have been able to escape, but now, the situation is not optimistic.

"Junior Sister Zhang, you and I both entered the Shuiling Sect at the age of eight. We have been friends for more than ten years now. For the sake of our friendship..." The man lay on the ground, breathing heavily, obviously exhausted.

"Friendship is nothing, hum!" The woman was not moved at all. She sneered and condensed an egg-sized ice cone in her hand, which shot into the man's head, and the man died.

After killing the man, the woman immediately searched the man's body. In a moment, she took out a small box the size of a palm and laughed: "Finally got it. The ancestor of the family will definitely reward me heavily! Haha!"

Ishikawa had a trace of cold sweat on his forehead and patted his chest. The fight just now really opened his eyes.

Fighting is not only based on cultivation, but also spiritual tools and talismans play a great role. If the woman did not have so many talismans today, it would be difficult to win.

Through this fight, Ishikawa also realized the cruelty of the world of cultivation. Brothers and sisters who had been friends for more than ten years turned against each other for a spiritual herb and killed each other.

"But fortunately, we were not discovered!" Ishikawa hoped that this fierce sister would leave quickly so that he could return to the outer sect. It seems that this good place for cultivation cannot be visited in the future, so as not to be involved in this fight.

Just when Ishikawa was relaxing, the woman surnamed Zhang actually dragged the corpse into the bushes, as if she wanted to throw the man's corpse into the lush bushes.

"Who is it!" The woman found that there was actually another person in the bushes.

Ishikawa jumped out of the bushes in one step and ran wildly into the woods.

The woman's face was shocked at first, and then she saw that Ishikawa was wearing only the clothes of an outer disciple, and a sneer appeared on her face. "It's not that easy to run."

It is basically impossible for outer disciples to practice. At most, there are one or two people in the first level of Qi training, and they don't know any exercises.

So killing an outer sect disciple is a piece of cake.

"Ice cone technique!" the woman shouted. However, no silver ball of light appeared on her finger.

"The spiritual energy is exhausted." The woman's face changed slightly, and she muttered to herself in anger. She touched her pocket again, and the talisman was exhausted in the previous fight.

Ishikawa ran all the way, and in just a few breaths, Ishikawa had run hundreds of feet. Since entering the Shuiling Sect, Ishikawa has been practicing the breathing technique, and has never practiced other techniques. This breathing technique is just a simple entry-level technique, without any attack or defense spells, but it can strengthen the body. Ishikawa's current running speed is a few points faster than that of the speed talisman.

And Ishikawa is very familiar with the terrain here, so the speed of travel is even faster. Turning left and right in the woods, he tried his best.

However, Ishikawa still underestimated the speed of the fifth-level cultivator of the Qi training period. In an instant, the woman had caught up.

Ishikawa calculated in his mind that if he ran at this speed, he would definitely be caught up by the woman within half an hour. So after Ishikawa passed through a dense forest, he stopped at a small open space.

"Do you still want to run?" The woman sneered, holding a silver sword in her hand. The other spiritual weapons on her body had been damaged in the fight, only this spiritual weapon issued by the sect was still there.

"Senior sister, spare my life! I didn't see anything." Ishikawa begged for mercy with a horrified face, and slowly leaned towards a tree while speaking.

"Really?" The woman was very satisfied when she saw Ishikawa's horrified face, as if Ishikawa's life was already in her hands.

The woman walked forward step by step.

"Senior sister, no, don't..." Ishikawa shouted, and his body slowly squatted down, as if he was scared.

"Hahaha..." The woman enjoyed this feeling very much, with a hint of a grim smile on her face.

For a spiritual herb, a senior brother who had been with him for ten years could be killed, let alone an outer disciple who had never met him before? In her eyes, he was an outer disciple who was nothing.

"Die! There is no other way to choose."

"Watch out for the sword!" The woman raised her hand and stabbed Ishikawa with a silver sword, hitting Ishikawa's chest. There was no hesitation at all, which showed that this person did not want to leave Ishikawa any chance of survival.

Ishikawa's face was gloomy. He had seen the viciousness of this woman. Today's life and death, this is a fight.

Ishikawa turned and rolled behind the tree, groped for a rope, and pulled it hard.

"What a fast speed!" The woman exclaimed, an ordinary mortal would not have such a fast speed.

A big net came from the sky and enveloped the woman. It just blocked the silver sword stabbing Ishikawa.

This ordinary big net naturally could not withstand the cutting of the spiritual weapon, and a big hole was torn in the dressing room.

Ishikawa gritted his teeth and pulled hard, and a big hole suddenly appeared on the ground.

"No!" the woman exclaimed. There was actually a trap for hunting animals here. Now that Ishikawa had set it off, the woman fell down like a trapped beast.

"Puff! Puff!" The bamboo pieces, like sharp knives, pierced into the woman's chest and abdomen. After a few screams, the woman died instantly.

The woman still held the silver sword tightly in her hand. She didn't understand until her death why things would turn out like this. She originally thought that she had enough talismans and spiritual weapons on her, and she could escape unscathed after killing Senior Brother Tian, ​​who was in the sixth level of Qi training. Unexpectedly, she would die in the hands of an outer disciple. And an outer disciple she didn't take seriously at all.

After a long time, Ishikawa poked his head out from behind the tree, looked at the woman who was dead and couldn't die anymore, and breathed a sigh of relief. If he wasn't familiar with the terrain here, if there wasn't a trap specially designed to catch wild animals here, he would probably be the one who died here today.

More importantly, the woman's talismans and spiritual power were exhausted in the fight just now, otherwise, Ishikawa would not have been able to escape so far.

Through this incident, Ishikawa realized more that in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and if you want to survive for a long time, you must improve your strength.

In addition, hiding one's own strength is also crucial. One of the main reasons for the victory today is that this woman underestimated Ishikawa's strength and thought that Ishikawa was an ordinary outer sect disciple. How could she have imagined that Ishikawa's current cultivation has reached the peak of the second level of Qi training and will soon break through the third level of Qi training.
