Seeking Immortality

The bright sunshine fell from the sky at noon, and cast a few spots of light under the obstruction of the branches and leaves of the dark forest. The interweaving of light and shadow made people in the shade of the trees feel a little more trapped.

And Xu Qingfan, at this time, was sitting cross-legged in this dark forest, closing his eyes and meditating, gradually adjusting his state to the best.

This time, Xu Qingfan's retreat was not like the previous one, which was closed in the wooden house in his cave. Because to practice the magical power of "outside incarnation", it requires a lot of fighting. There are many various formations alone, which occupy a large area. So he simply left the cave and chose a hidden and open area in the back mountain. He set up some formations around it to hide his breath and defense, and then began to practice his second magical power "outside incarnation" according to the plan.

After a long time, Xu Qingfan finally opened his eyes slowly, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.

After Xu Qingfan stood up, he first took out a large number of high-level five-element spirit stones from his sleeves, buried them one by one in the ground, and began to set up the most basic "Spirit Gathering Array" in the world of immortal cultivation. However, unlike the ordinary "Spirit Gathering Array", the "Spirit Gathering Array" that Xu Qingfan set up this time was a large "Spirit Gathering Array" composed of more than a hundred small "Spirit Gathering Arrays", and its effect was countless times greater than that of the ordinary "Spirit Gathering Array".

Because the formation was too huge and complicated, Xu Qingfan spent a lot of time and energy to complete it. After the formation was completed, three full days had passed. After Xu Qingfan checked it once, another full day had passed.

The complexity of this compound "Spirit Gathering Array" can be seen.

Then, Xu Qingfan meditated again. It took half a day to recover the mental energy consumed by setting up the formation. This time, practicing the "body incarnation" technique was extremely difficult, and it would fail if he was not careful, so Xu Qingfan had to be extremely careful.

After everything was done, the cultivation of the "outside incarnation" finally began.

Just as Xu Qingfan had expected before, after repeated purification and fusion, the original five pieces of "topaz" were reduced to two pieces of the same size, but the color changed from the original light yellow to dark yellow, with a faint sense of transparency. Like glass.

But Xu Qingfan knew that the changes of "topaz" after repeated purification and fusion were far more than that. He had tested before that the two pieces of "topaz" in his hand could withstand "dead air" and "living air" three times stronger than before.

Xu Qingfan took out one of the "topaz" first. He sat cross-legged and slowly began to input "living air" and "dead air" into his body until all the "living air" and "dead air" in his body were input.

As the two energies were input, the color of the "topaz" gradually changed. The original dark yellow color was transformed by the "living air". But it gradually turned into golden color, and under the transformation of "withered air", in the golden color, there were dense dark golden thin lines, which finally connected together to form a strange pattern that no one could understand.

But Xu Qingfan did not pay much attention to these, but immersed his mind and body in the energy changes in "topaz", carefully observing the "withered air" and "living air" from fighting to each other. From doing their own things to blending with each other, from blending with each other to separating, and then it seemed that there was no end to the rise and fall of one while the other, and as the two energies changed in "topaz", the light on the surface of "topaz" also changed constantly, reflecting Xu Qingfan's face.

In a trance, as Xu Qingfan observed for a long time, Xu Qingfan actually had a feeling of watching a life being conceived.

Finally, as time went by. The sun and the moon outside the formation replaced each other, and the two energies in "topaz" finally began to stabilize gradually.

"Just at this moment!!"

Xu Qingfan's eyes suddenly opened wide, and a large amount of blood and essence sprayed onto the "topaz" in his hand, but was quickly absorbed by the topaz. At the same time, Xu Qingfan also separated a part of his consciousness and soul, and took advantage of the fact that the "life energy" and "death energy" in the "topaz" had not yet stabilized. Gradually merged into it.

And at the moment when the "topaz" absorbed the blood and essence sprayed by Xu Qingfan and merged with the consciousness and soul separated by Xu Qingfan, the "life energy" and "death energy" inside finally stabilized.

Holding the "topaz" in his hand that merged his whole body's "death energy" and "life energy", a large amount of blood and essence and a part of his soul, Xu Qingfan actually felt a blood connection, as if this "topaz" was his blood.

But Xu Qingfan didn't have time to sigh, and didn't even have time to observe the changes in the "topaz" in his hand. He placed this piece of "topaz" into the compound "spiritual gathering array", and then used his remaining strength to activate the array. He saw a complex pattern composed of five-color light gradually light up in the open area in the deep forest, and then saw a large amount of spiritual light and aura gathered towards the "topaz" in the center of the array.

As the energy gradually became denser. This piece of "topaz" also began to slowly float in the air, surrounded by a hazy colorful light.

As time went by, the spiritual light and aura around this piece of "topaz" became more and more dense, and in the end there was even a faint sense of materialization. And those spiritual lights and auras gradually formed a human figure with "topaz" as the core.

Suddenly, a great power came from the center of the formation, which was three times stronger than Xu Qingfan's heyday. At this time, Xu Qingfan's spiritual energy was exhausted, but he was forced back three steps by this pressure.

But Xu Qingfan's face was even more joyful, and he carefully observed the human-shaped light and shadow in the center of the formation.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the dazzling light around the colorful human-shaped light and shadow suddenly dissipated, and a person was seen standing quietly in the center of the formation. As soon as this figure appeared, Xu Qingfan immediately felt a blood connection, as if this figure was a part of his body.

Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly, and he tried to give an order. The figure of this figure suddenly blurred, and the next moment, it suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qingfan. The speed was seven points faster than Xu Qingfan, who had comprehended the wind system.

But Xu Qingfan looked at the figure so close, but he couldn't help but be surprised.

It was not for anything else, but the appearance of this "incarnation" was too similar to Xu Qingfan. Perhaps it was because of the fusion of Xu Qingfan's essence, blood and soul, this "incarnation" had one eye, one nose, one mouth, one ear, face shape, figure, and clothes, all of which were exactly the same as Xu Qingfan's. It was as if they were twins.

The only thing that could distinguish the two was the dark red flame pattern under Xu Qingfan's left eye corner and the faint scar on his right cheek, which were not copied to this "incarnation", and the eyes of this "incarnation" were dull. There was no spirit at all, otherwise even Xu Qingfan would not be able to tell who was who.

After observing for a long time, Xu Qingfan commanded this "incarnation" to move and attack. After a long time, he nodded with satisfaction.

This "incarnation" was also like the "Golden Armor God", with its body made entirely of energy, between reality and illusion. Therefore, his speed is extremely fast and his defense is solid. Although he cannot use various Taoist methods, he can transform into various weapons composed of energy to attack, which are also extremely sharp. However, in terms of combat power, he is one point higher than Xu Qingfan.

"From now on, I will call you Xu Zhiyuan."

Xu Qingfan did not care whether this "Xu Zhiyuan" could understand him. He murmured. However, he saw that this "outside incarnation" was silent and remembered the phrase "quiet and far-reaching".

Then, Xu Qingfan began to meditate with his eyes closed, and began to restore the spiritual energy in his body. Just now, he had almost depleted his spiritual energy by creating an "outside incarnation", but he still had to create a second "outside incarnation".

I don't know how long it has been, how many times the sun and the moon have changed, and I saw Xu Qingfan sitting cross-legged in a corner of the dark forest, together with Xiaohei on his shoulder. Quietly watching the battle between the two figures in front of him.

I saw that among the two figures, one of them was extremely fast, and reached a distance of dozens of feet in an instant, almost without any stop, just constantly circling around the other figure, constantly changing various weapons in his hands, and constantly attacking the other figure from a distance. He either stabbed straight with a spear in his hand. Or chopped fiercely with a big knife, or fled to a distance to shoot hidden weapons at the other figure. The offensive was endless, and the swords and knives were either blazing, or cold, or shining with golden light and extremely sharp, or as heavy as the earth. After more than ten attacks, they actually had different five elements.

This figure was the first "external incarnation" refined by Xu Qingfan - Xu Zhiyuan! !

The other figure was incomparably clumsy, especially the speed was much worse than Xu Zhiyuan. He was constantly hit by Xu Zhiyuan, but it seemed that there was no effect. Even if his hands and feet were chopped off by Xu Zhiyuan, he recovered in a moment. There seemed to be some kind of barrier around this figure. Once Xu Zhiyuan approached, his body seemed to be pressed by a heavy stone, and his speed was greatly reduced. Although the attack speed of this figure was slow, Xu Zhiyuan was extremely cautious. As soon as he saw that this figure was about to attack, he immediately fled.

This figure was the second "body incarnation" refined by Xu Qingfan. Unlike Xu Zhiyuan, when Xu Qingfan was refining it, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He thought that the "Golden Armor God" seemed to be dominated by gold spiritual energy, so he made some changes when refining it. The "topaz" part was exactly the same as Xu Zhiyuan's, but after placing it in the "Spirit Gathering Array", the "Spirit Gathering Array" was controlled to only input the two most dense earth and wood spiritual energy in the back mountain of Jiuhua into this "body incarnation".

In this way, this "incarnation" is essentially different from Xu Zhiyuan. It loses the ghostly speed and ever-changing attack methods, but has an extremely powerful defense and self-healing ability, infinite strength, and the gravity is greatly increased within a few feet around it. It is for Xu Qingfan to use to protect himself.

Because Xu Qingfan plans to let the second "incarnation" follow and protect him all the time, Xu Qingfan casually named it "Xu Ying".

Xu Ying is the same as Xu Zhiyuan, and looks exactly like Xu Qingfan, but the temperament of the two is slightly different. Xu Ying looks heavier, while Xu Zhiyuan's temperament is more elegant and mysterious.

After a long time, Xu Qingfan nodded with satisfaction and asked the two to stop fighting. The abilities of these two "incarnations" satisfied him.

"It's worth it that I've used up all the spiritual stones in my body."

Xu Qingfan thought secretly. All the five thousand spiritual stones that Xu Qingfan collected were used to set up the formation. Before, after Xu Ying successfully refined them, they were all broken into pieces and the energy was exhausted.

Xu Qingfan smiled with satisfaction, removed the formation outside the dense forest, and walked out.

But when Xu Qingfan saw the scene outside the dense forest, he was stunned.
