Seeking Immortality

According to habit, before Xu Qingfan left the house, he summoned Xiao Hei in his heart, wanting Xiao Hei to stand on his shoulder as usual. For decades, Xiao Hei had been following Xu Qingfan silently, and Xu Qingfan was used to it.

But this time, after Xu Qingfan summoned in his heart, the response he got was a little strange, a little cheerful, a little depressed, but it returned to calm in an instant. After that, no matter how Xu Qingfan summoned, Xiao Hei never responded again.

Xu Qingfan was stunned, and looked around the room. The scene he saw made Xu Qingfan slightly stunned.

I saw that the strange skull and the black dead spirit bead were still floating quietly in the air in the place where Xiao Hei was absorbing the dead air, just like before Xu Qingfan went into seclusion, but the dead air surrounding them had long disappeared.

Xiao Hei, who was floating in the air like two, also disappeared. On the ground where Xiao Hei was originally, there was a black cocoon quietly falling on the ground. At this time, the light in Xu Qingfan's room was blocked and dim, but this black cocoon was even darker and darker, perfectly blending with the darkness around it, and there was no breath fluctuation. Xu Qingfan was busy concentrating on checking his own condition before, and he didn't notice this black cocoon.

And the spiritual fluctuation that responded to Xu Qingfan just now came from this black cocoon.

Could this black cocoon be - Xiao Hei?

Although there was such a question in his heart, looking at Xu Qingfan's expression, it seemed that he had already confirmed it.

And looking at Xiao Hei's current situation, it seems that after absorbing the powerful and pure death energy in the strange skull over the years, it is about to evolve, but at this time, it is in the state of transformation before evolution.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan felt a little excited and happy. He was no longer in a hurry to leave the house. His expression was more focused, and he carefully looked at the green cocoon.

Because the dark crows were powerful, located in remote areas, and lived in groups of hundreds of thousands, it was difficult to obtain dark crow eggs in the world of cultivation. Cultivators who used dark crows as their spiritual pets were extremely rare, and dark crows evolved by absorbing a large amount of dead air. But how could there be so much dead air in this world? It is estimated that it would take the dead air of tens of thousands of people to complete the first evolution, from the primary level of the earth rank to the intermediate level of the earth rank, and the dead air to be absorbed to reach the advanced level of the earth rank would be doubled. Therefore, even those cultivators who used dark crows as their spiritual pets had no choice but to give up the dark crows because the dark crows could not evolve and could not keep up with their cultivation progress.

As far as Xu Qingfan knew, in the world of cultivation, the dark crows of those cultivators who used dark crows as their spiritual pets so far, the strength of their dark crows was the same as the dark crows under Xu Qingfan's command before, but they were only at the intermediate level of the earth rank. They were equivalent to the strength of the solid pill stage cultivators in the world of cultivation.

But Xiao Hei was lucky. First, Xu Qingfan's own cultivation place was the "dead air" close to the air of death. Later, he absorbed the air of dozens of corpse kings in the battle with No. 2. During this period, Xu Qingfan fed Xiao Hei some high-level elixirs that increased the ability of spiritual pets from time to time. Finally, he reached the middle level of the earth rank, which was hundreds of years faster than other dark crows.

And this time, Xiao Hei continued to absorb the dead air in the skull, and it seemed that he was about to evolve to the high level of the earth rank. It is equivalent to the cultivation level of the golden elixir period in the world of immortal cultivation.

Because there has not been any dark crow in the world of immortal cultivation that has reached the high level of the earth rank as a spiritual pet. So Xu Qingfan only knew that after the dark crow evolved to the middle level of the earth rank, in addition to the great increase in strength, it would also have two magical powers, "Eye of Death" and "Voice of Death". After Xu Qingfan's test, it was found that these two abilities were really extraordinary and could destroy the balance of life and death in the human body, which was hard to guard against.

And once Xiao Hei broke through to the high level of the earth rank, what kind of changes would appear? What other powerful abilities will it have?

Xu Qingfan suddenly realized that his heart was full of expectations for a while.

After repeated detections by Xu Qingfan's consciousness, he found that Xiao Hei was indeed wrapped in this black cocoon and was sleeping quietly. And his call just now seemed to make Xiao Hei gradually show signs of waking up, and the black cocoon wrapped around Xiao Hei was composed of black silk threads, and these black silk threads were all transformed from death energy, which made Xu Qingfan even more shocked.

How condensed and pure death energy must be to achieve death energy transformation? And these death energy was just transformed into black cocoons to protect Xiao Hei from the outside. Help Xiao Hei transform. Then how powerful will the death energy in Xiao Hei's body be?

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan was shocked. He looked to the other side, where the skull that helped Xiao Hei evolve and provided Xiao Hei with endless death energy was floating quietly.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Qingfan first waved his sleeves to put away the "death bead" that could condense death energy, then stretched out his right hand and slowly touched the strange skull.

Last time, Xu Qingfan only touched the skull slightly, and the "life energy" and "death energy" in his body became uncontrollably chaotic, and he almost went crazy and broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted quickly at the time, his cultivation would have been wasted. From then on, although Xu Qingfan was full of doubts about the skull, he never touched it again.

Finally, Xu Qingfan's hands touched the quietly floating skull.

As before, the moment Xu Qingfan came into contact with the skull, the "life energy" and "death energy" in his body were in chaos and were about to rush into the skull. However, this time was different from thirteen years ago. Xu Qingfan had reached the late stage of the solid elixir realm, and his control over the "death energy" and "life energy" in his body was greatly strengthened, but he forcibly suppressed the abnormal movement of the two spiritual energies.

Progress is always reflected inadvertently.

Then, Xu Qingfan carefully drew out a trace of "death energy" and probed into the skull.

In an instant, Xu Qingfan clearly sensed that in this skull, the powerful and deep death energy was as vast as the sea, pure and clean.

It seems that although this skull has allowed Xiao Hei to absorb so much death energy, it itself has not been affected too much. This is only a part of the "Purgatory Staff". It is not an exaggeration to say that the "Purgatory Staff" is one of the most powerful magic weapons in the world of immortal cultivation.

Then, Xu Qingfan put the skull back into the jade box that originally contained the skull, and then carefully put it into his sleeve. Then, he walked out of the house without hesitation.

As for Xiao Hei, Xu Qingfan let it continue to evolve in the house. As long as it could transform and evolve within a year, it would be fine. He was not in a hurry.

But just as Xu Qingfan stepped out of the house, a huge and vast power suddenly burst out from the black cocoon. Under the powerful momentum, even though Xu Qingfan had reached the late stage of the solid pill, he still took three steps back to stabilize his body, and his heart was constantly shaking.

He turned around and looked at the black cocoon, only to find that the black cocoon, which was originally silent, suddenly emitted thick black gas. In the black mist, the black cocoon, which was composed of countless black silk threads, gradually dispersed. As the black silk threads gradually spread around the room, and as the black silk threads became fewer and fewer, the black cocoon became smaller and smaller, and Xiao Hei's figure gradually appeared in the black mist.

At the same time, the phantom of the god of death composed of phantom black light behind Xiao Hei also appeared, floating quietly behind Xiao Hei, with deep and dead eyes, silently looking at everything in this world, as if the god of death had really come.

I don't know how long it took, but finally, Xiao Hei, who was quietly floating in the air, opened his eyes. At the same time, the phantom of the god of death behind him gradually disappeared, and the black mist around him was also sucked into his body. Then Xiao Hei cheered, and the sound was naturally as unpleasant as a crow's cry, but everyone could feel the excitement. Then he spread his wings and turned into a flash of lightning. The next moment, he stood quietly on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, but he became the cold and quiet look before.

After the telepathy with Xiao Hei, Xu Qingfan knew that Xiao Hei had finally reached the high-level earth-level magic beast level, and his strength was probably equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Jindan period, but at the same time, he had two new abilities. They are "Death God's Coming" and "Dark Escape Technique".

"Death God's Coming" is similar to the magical power that No. 2 had performed before. Xiao Hei released all the dead air in his body and turned it into the phantom of the god of death to fight, which ordinary people could not resist.

The "Dark Escape Technique" can greatly increase Xiao Hei's speed in an instant and restrain his aura. If you are much stronger than Xiao Hei, you will not be able to find Xiao Hei's whereabouts.

Xu Qingfan smiled slightly, knowing that Xiao Hei's evolution this time will help him a lot when facing disasters in the future. In fact, if Xu Qingfan did not have the magical power of "external incarnation", he would not be Xiao Hei's opponent now. He shook his head slightly, as if he was a little ashamed that his master's strength was not as strong as his spirit pet. Then he waved his sleeves and put the black silk threads that had just been scattered all over the house into his sleeves, and then walked out of the house without hesitation.
