Soul Devouring Sword Master

It can be seen that these students from the Royal Academy must have some background, a wealthy family, and no shortage of money, so they did not plan to collect the corpses of the monsters and sell them for money.

However, this was a bargain for Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao followed along the way and collected the corpses of the monsters when he saw them, but the Soul-Swallowing Sword still could not absorb the monster souls here.

Soon, the few people stopped in a cave, and Lin Xiao hid in a nearby tree.

At night, Lin Xiao was not idle, sitting under the tree to practice.

Now Lin Xiao is at the peak of the ninth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm. It seems that there is only a thin line between him and the Transformation Spirit Realm, but it is extremely difficult to break through this gap.

The ninth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm means that all nine meridian gates have been opened. The next thing to do is to inject spiritual energy into the nine meridian gates, impact the Dantian, and open up the Qi Palace.

After the Qi Palace is opened, it is the Transformation Spirit Realm, which can accommodate more spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy is more concentrated. The power of the exercises is also stronger, which is a qualitative leap compared to the Gathering Spirit Realm.

However, it is not easy to open up the Qi Palace. The impact of the spiritual energy must be strong enough. Even if the spiritual energy of the nine meridians is impacted together, it is very difficult. Some people are even stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm and cannot break through for life. Even if they break through, there are certain dangers. If they are not careful, they may die.

The difficulty of the impact is closely related to the level of the spiritual vein. The higher the level of the spiritual vein, the more difficult it is to break through the realm. Similarly, it is also difficult to open up the Qi Palace.

Lin Xiao has a level spiritual vein in his body. It is more than ten times more difficult to open up the Qi Palace than ordinary people. However, correspondingly, once it is opened, his Qi Palace will be stronger than ordinary people, able to accommodate more spiritual energy, and the concentration of spiritual energy will be higher.

In Lin Xiao's current situation, what he needs to do is to consolidate the realm, continuously compress the spiritual energy in his body, and increase the strength of the spiritual energy until it is enough to open up the Qi Palace.

Lin Xiao first summoned the Gathering Spirit Array, and then operated the first level of the Devouring Spirit Technique, began to refine the spiritual energy, and compressed the spiritual energy.

Unconsciously, a night had passed, and Lin Xiao absorbed the spiritual energy of two spirit gathering arrays, but the concentration of spiritual energy did not seem to increase too much.

Not long after dawn, Lin Xiao saw those people coming out of the cave, and then continued to look for ice and fire fruit.

Lin Xiao followed them and could pick up a few monster corpses from time to time.

Time was like flowing water, and nine hours had passed in a blink of an eye, but there was still no trace of the ice and fire fruit.

And Lin Xiao's ring was already filled with more than a hundred ice monsters, and it could not hold any more.

In addition, Lin Xiao felt that the concentration of spiritual energy in his body had increased, but it was still a long way from breaking through the spiritual transformation realm.

This day, the young man in brocade clothes and others sat under a tree and discussed something.

"It's already nine, and Young Master Yan gave us ten. If we can't find it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to report." Tieta said with difficulty, his palm was wrapped in bandages.

"With Young Master Yan's temper, if we can't report, we will definitely be in trouble." Liu Feng frowned and said.

"Captain Bo, do you have any other ideas?"

Everyone looked at the young man in brocade clothes to see if he had any ideas.

Nangong Bo was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "I do have a way to find the ice and fire fruit."

Hearing this, several people's eyes lit up, and they looked at Nangong Bo as if they were a savior, but Nangong Bo looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.

"In fact, the reason why we can't find this ice and fire fruit is largely because the trees here are covered with ice and snow, and it is difficult to identify which one is the ice and fire tree."

Nangong Bo touched the ring on his hand, and a stream of light came out of it and fell on his hand. It was a snake covered with black and red stripes.

However, this snake now closed its eyes and did not move, as if it was asleep.

"This is the red snake, which is very sensitive to rare and exotic fruits and can help us find the ice and fire fruit. However, in order to wake it up once, it must have ten drops of blood essence from practitioners above the spiritual transformation realm."

Hearing this, several people's faces changed.

Each practitioner has only seven drops of blood essence, which are hidden in the flesh and blood and can be the foundation of the flesh and blood.

If the blood essence is lost, the physical strength of the practitioner will decrease, the blood and qi will be seriously damaged, and the spirit will be depressed. If more than four drops are lost, it will even become dementia.

Therefore, when Nangong Bo needed blood essence, several people would react like this.

There is no doubt that blood essence is very important to practitioners. If you lose a drop of blood essence, it may take several months to condense a drop again.

If it is not necessary, no one wants to lose blood essence.

But the current situation is special. If you want to find the ice and fire fruit, you must use blood essence to wake up the red snake.

"To be fair, two drops per person." Nangong Bo said, then gritted his teeth, frowned, and a stream of blood gathered at his brow, and then slowly dissipated and condensed into a drop of blood essence.

Then, he condensed another drop of blood essence.

After condensing two drops of blood essence, Nangong Bo's face turned much paler and his lips turned purple, but he quickly took out a pill and swallowed it. After adjusting his breath, his condition recovered a little.

With Nangong Bo taking the lead, the other four people soon gritted their teeth and condensed two drops of blood essence.

Ten drops of blood essence condensed, Nangong Bo grabbed the head of the red snake, pinched it with his fingers, and the red snake opened its mouth. He guided it with his fingers, and ten drops of blood essence dripped into its mouth one by one.

Soon, as the ten drops of blood essence were absorbed, the red snake slowly opened its eyelids. After a while, it jumped directly from Nangong Bo's hand and crawled quickly on the snow.

“Follow it!”

Nangong Bo and the others hurriedly followed the red snake.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao also hurriedly followed Nangong Bo and the others.
