Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

He thought of the pair of Fourth Stage Azure Sky Pythons that used to lurk outside the entrance. With their intelligence not inferior to that of humans, how could they not know that the major sects wanted to set up a killing formation?

Not escaping would mean protecting their offspring, right?

He knocked on these dry bones and immediately denied this point.

Based on the surface signs of these snake bones, it was likely that they had been dead for decades. The pair of python couples seemed unnecessary to guard these dead descendants.

But he didn't come here to solve the case, he came to save people. He immediately stopped thinking about it and focused all his attention on the huge red demon tree not far away.

The dark red thick trunk almost occupied the entire mansion, and who knows how many thousands of years it had been growing here.

Countless ugly, worm-like roots were exposed on the ground, entwined and intertwined, crude, profound, sinister, eerie, emitting a chilling aura.

He suddenly felt his blood boiling, with the tendency of blood vessels bursting.

"Bloodsucking Demon Tree!"

Lin Xiu immediately thought of the legends about this kind of monster.

As long as it absorbed enough blood, it could directly grow to the Ninth Stage, Transcending Tribulation Ascension, which was an extremely sinister and rare species.

He couldn't tell what stage this tree had reached, but it was probably not low.

Who planted such a thing here?

The talismans on his body were activated again, forming several layers of mysterious ice shields, barely isolating the tendency of blood vessels bursting.

"The Water Refining Method!"

After refining another Law Weapon and throwing it into the air, after all, there was still some distance between the gate and the demon tree. "Because of the water of Gen" was still everywhere.

Each Law Weapon became his temporary umbrella, refining and throwing them one by one, his heart bleeding.

These were all spirit stones. If he took them out and sold them cheaply, he could definitely gather enough money for a boat ticket...

Where there are trees, there are inevitably holes.

The bigger the tree, the bigger the hole.

Who knows who said this.

Lin Xiu sneered at this.

He thought that such a big tree would have an astonishingly large tree hole, right?

As a result, after losing countless treasures and flying around on his flying sword for a few rounds, he finally found it under the tangled roots.

It was very small, only enough for one person to crouch down. He really didn't know how Ji Ning discovered it.

He flew in lying flat.

Then, he cleared the person's name. It was really big inside!

The palace of the Gold Core cultivator Qian Qingquan from the Purple Cloud Sect was smaller than this.

At the top of the tree hole, a blood-colored giant sword was suspended, emitting layers of strange surging red spiritual energy.

Lin Xiu only took a glance, and suddenly felt restless. Various emotions seemed to rush into his mind.

He immediately closed his eyes and recited the calming mantra.

This thing seemed to magnify the seven emotions and six desires in everyone's heart, surpassing the enchantment of the Endless Pleasure Sect or the Immortal Sound Pavilion.

"Fortunately, with the blessing of the Azure Pupils, otherwise this giant sword would definitely also have various illusions attached to it. And the reason I can still resist it with my current cultivation level is because it concentrates most of its power on this person!"

Under the giant sword, a dried-up person was sitting cross-legged on a space of more than ten zhang wide.

The skin was reddish and withered, the muscles shriveled, almost skin and bones.

Under the gaze of the "Azure Pupils," the blood in this person's body was floating upwards, as if it could die at any moment...

However, there was a black disc-shaped magic treasure floating above her head, emitting waves of black energy that seemed to be helping her resist the power of the giant sword.

"A sissy?"

He cautiously asked the person who almost turned into a skeleton.

Although the person was old and unrecognizable, the black robe on their body was familiar.

The person's body moved slightly, and immediately opened their eyes.

Lin Xiu felt relieved. These were Ji Ning's eyes, still so bright and lively, he probably wouldn't forget them in this lifetime.

But Ji Ning seemed unable to see him, turning her head and searching around, as if Lin Xiu's voice was coming from all directions.

"You... you stingy coward, in the end, you still fell into the trap. I told you not to come in!"

Ji Ning's eyes revealed a painful and self-blaming expression. The withered cheeks and body made Lin Xiu feel a pang of pain.

However, he still smiled and joked,

"You're not my wife, and I'm not a Soul Formation expert. How could I come and wade into this muddy water? It's all because that Red Sister old witch threw me in!"

"Tsk tsk! This Nascent Soul old monster, he's really good at hiding! Saying that he wants to send me in here to be a pair of dead mandarin ducks with him."

"Ah, this..."

Although Ji Ning's appearance at this time resembled that of a ninety-year-old woman, a hint of surprise and shyness could still be seen in her eyes.

"Elder Hua really..."

Lin Xiu didn't continue the conversation, his tone changed.

"With your current physique, I'm afraid you won't be able to climb onto the roof of my house in the future, right?"

Anger immediately appeared in Ji Ning's eyes.

"Even if I die, I will become a ghost and float up there!"

"There are no ghosts in this world, but there are evil spirits that look terrifying!"

"Hmph..."

Ji Ning no longer continued this topic.

"You shouldn't have come, this is a death trap! Designed by someone!"

Lin Xiu pointed to the extremely sinister giant sword.

"To cultivate this demonic weapon?"

A trace of fear and helplessness appeared in Ji Ning's eyes as she nodded.

"A powerful being slaughtered all the living creatures in this secret realm to refine this demonic sword. If I didn't have the sect's treasure to rely on, I'm afraid I would have turned into a pile of bones by now."

Then she said, "Give me some spirit stones, I'm about to be drained by it!"

Lin Xiu directly took out a large pile from a storage bag of unknown origin and threw them all in.

"It seems that the place you're standing on has been designed with a Dragon Trapping Formation. Let me think about it."

After receiving them, Ji Ning directly grabbed a handful and absorbed the spiritual energy contained within.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all these spirit stones turned into powder!

And then, another handful!

Lin Xiu's eyes almost popped out when he saw this.

Just these spirit stones are enough for him to absorb for several days.

Is this the benefit of practicing demonic cultivation?

For the next hour, Lin Xiu sat on the side and watched Ji Ning perform the disappearing act with the spirit stones until she slowed down when she picked up a high-grade spirit stone.

He silently calculated.

Definitely more than his own amount for several months.

It seems that she can fully recover in just a few days after being injured, probably relying on this technique.

Truly terrifying!

Ji Ning's skin seemed to become more moisturized. She looked at the giant sword above her head with lingering fear.

"After entering, I was immediately attracted by this demonic weapon. It's a fifth-grade treasure of Soul Formation! If I can give it to my father, it will definitely help him break through to the Soul Formation stage! I didn't expect to be disturbed by the illusion and fall into its trap..."

Lin Xiu, who was also absorbing spiritual energy with two spirit stones in his hand, snorted coldly.

"This thing looks really sinister. Sometimes I really can't understand the thought process of you cultivators!"

Ji Ning was puzzled.

"We cultivators, aren't you one too?"

"Uh..."

Lin Xiu avoided the question and pointed to the Law Weapon that looked like a Dharma Wheel.

"How long can this thing hold on? No wonder your life symbol cracked like a spider web but didn't break. It's because it's keeping your blood from being drained, right?"

"This is the 'Profound Heaven Sealing Immortal Circle,' one of the seven Spiritual Weapons of the Thousand Calamities Sect. It's a fourth-grade high-grade weapon, but unfortunately, it's also being drained of spiritual energy by this 'Bloodthirsty Demon Sword'!"

"Tsk tsk, even a fourth-grade high-grade weapon can't hold on! This demonic weapon not only absorbs blood energy but also spiritual energy?"

"Of course, when this demonic sword reaches the sixth grade and produces a spirit, it can even absorb a martial artist's true essence!"

Isn't that going against the natural order?

Lin Xiu clicked his tongue.

With a "snap," the "Mysterious Ice Shield" on his body shattered, scaring him into immediately activating another one.

Then, he slapped his head and threw a stack to Ji Ning.

But unexpectedly, she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"In this Dragon Trapping Formation, the speed at which blood energy is plundered is a hundred times faster than the outside world. I can barely use a third-grade talisman, but you should escape for your life. You can't break this formation!"
