Half a year later.

Penglai Xianzong, a small reef on the coast, the waves crash against the reef.

A golden eagle in the Qi refining period patrolled the coast in hundreds of feet of sky, searching for food. Suddenly, it spotted a large fat fish with a foot length and full of spirit in the shallow seagrass, and it observed for a moment, then swooped down sharply, and pounced on the fat fish with its sharp claws.

"Poof!"

The fat fish disappeared, but became a piece of wood.

The seaweed in the shallows was frantically entangled at this moment, restraining one of its sharp claws, making it impossible to break free.

Pitfall?

The golden eagle grabbed the piece of wood in the water and immediately panicked, knowing that something was wrong. It flapped its huge wings and frantically pulled out of the seaweed.

A poisonous arrow appeared out of thin air and stabbed it in the body!

The golden eagle screamed, the wound was pitch black, flew dozens of feet away, and then it was poisonous, and fell headlong into the sea.

Immediately, the figure of a foundation building monk appeared from the hidden reef, and it was Su Chen, who was cultivating various wood-based spells here.

Su Chen saw this effect and nodded with satisfaction.

It is not easy to ambush the golden eagle, a spirit bird, the golden eagle's natural "golden eyes" have a strong effect of breaking the concealment, unless the concealment effect is very good, it is difficult to hide from their eyes.

In half a year, his sixteen spells were already quite proficient.

In just half a year, if you want to complete these sixteen wood-based spells with completely different uses, the time is undoubtedly very tight. It is extremely difficult to master these sixteen types of spells completely proficiently.

Spell cultivation requires a high degree of skill.

Cooking makes perfect, and combat effectiveness is born.

He spent half a month cultivating a spell, consuming a large amount of spirit peach, spirit wine and other mana supplies, and did not skimp on mana, repeatedly casting it at least hundreds of times a day, and under the high-intensity cultivation that lasted for half a month, he only cultivated to a proficient level, and was able to cast them smoothly.

Like the offensive wood spell "Gun Forest Arrow Rain", the defensive spell "Wood Armor", the stealth spell "Wood Concealment", the Wood Escape Technique, etc., these are actually relatively easy to cultivate, and only mana is needed.

However, other types, such as Wood Trap Technique, Wood Poison Technique, Wood Illusion Technique, Wood Golem Technique, etc., all require the help of a large number of auxiliary Wood materials to be able to be used.

Wood poison requires the use of a lot of wood venom, which must be extracted from the highly poisonous spirit wood. Second-order wood toxins, or even toxins above the third order, are extremely domineering, and with just a drop of venom, they can pose a huge threat to the foundation building monks and even the Jindan monks.

Because of this, refining wood poison requires high skill, and there is even a side industry, wood poison refiner. It's just that the number of people engaged in this industry is very small, and they are not as well-known as alchemists, Lingnong, etc.

"Illusion of the Hundred Flowers Sutra", you need to prepare a hundred flowers in advance, filled with all kinds of spirit petals full of incense, in order to use the incense to perform various psychedelic techniques.

And the "White Lotus Spirit Sutra of Wood Puppet Technique" is a kind of spell that Su Chen has practiced long ago, which records "scattering beans into soldiers, standing firewood for dogs, seeking fish from wood, gourd vine soldiers, cutting grass for horses...", and many other wooden puppet spells, which have many uses.

When Su Chen saw this technique, he understood. It turns out that the "White Lotus Spirit Sutra" is a wooden puppet technique, and there is also this law book in the treasure house of Penglai Immortal Sect, which is almost the same as his own.

Jiang Lao Zu had already prepared a lot of wood-based materials for him.

In the past half a year, Su Chen has also spent a lot of time planting a large number of wood-based spell materials in Lingshan.

He thought that half a year had arrived, and the battle for the spiritual fruit of Penglai Immortal Sect was about to start, so he didn't linger, and Edgeworth went to Immortal Sect, waiting for news.

...

The East China Sea is thousands of miles away from Penglai Immortal Sect.

A small, remote and quiet fishing port.

More than dozens of banner envoys of the Demon Scar Alliance wearing armor knelt down in fear in front of an old fisherman with a gloomy face in a robe, and reported to this old fisherman disguised as a mortal, that is, the old monster in green robes of the leader of the Demon Scar Alliance, and reported the recent activities of the flag bearers from all walks of life, and did not dare to raise his head.

Since the defeat of the Demon Demon Alliance from the Demon Cave of Tianfeng Gorge, the green-robed old monster has lived in seclusion in this small fishing port due to injury, and remotely commanded the remnants of his disciples to scatter and secretly move around Middle-earth, gathering scattered monks from all over the country, creating trouble, and waiting for an opportunity to hunt down the monks of Penglai Immortal Sect and the mortals associated with them to take revenge on Penglai Immortal Sect.

However, many large and small immortal sects in Shenzhou have sent many immortal envoys to continue to patrol all parts of Shenzhou Middle Earth.

The scattered activities of the disciples of the Demon Demon Alliance were extinguished one after another. In just two years, there was little gain, and it did not have the effect of revenge on Penglai Immortal Sect, but lost nearly half of the manpower.

The Demon Demon Alliance, which was already greatly damaged, is now even more declining.

Because they did not occupy the land of Lingshan and lacked a stable source of cultivation materials, the cultivators of the Demon Demon Alliance were extremely short of cultivation materials even on weekdays. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be weakened, and it will be difficult to even maintain the Demon Demon Alliance.

This time, all the big flag envoys returned together, also to report to the green-robed old monster about their activities in various places.

There have even been a small number of Demon Scar Alliance Banner Commanders, who have escaped from the control of the Demon Scar Alliance without authorization and will not return. However, the monks who have escaped from the Demon Demon Alliance often do not live long, and they have already been unknowingly planted with poisonous Gu in their bodies, and they will die of poison within a few years, and only the green-robed old monster has the antidote elixir in his hands.

"A bunch of useless waste! In the past two years, the Penglai Immortal Sect has not suffered much loss, but the manpower of our Demon Demon Alliance has been damaged even more!"

After listening to the report of the big flag envoys, the green-robed old monster was extremely disappointed, and his face turned blue with anger. He couldn't help coughing violently, coughing up a lot of blood.

This is an old wound from the past that has not healed to this day.

The envoys of the big banners looked even more frightened when they saw the green-robed old monster vomiting blood.

The green-robed old monster has a violent personality and is capricious, and often takes out anger on his subordinates. When he was angry, he even sucked up the vitality of his subordinates, which made the Demon Demon Alliance fearful.

The alliance leader was angry, and his subordinates disguised themselves as other immortal sect monks, and found out an important piece of information from the Penglai disciples. Penglai Immortal Sect still has half a year to go, and it is about to have a once-in-a-decade spiritual fruit competition, and the strongest ten people will compete among the more than two hundred foundation building disciples to obtain ten spiritual fruits!"

"Oh, where are they, and how are they going to fight for the Spirit Fruit?!"

"Penglai Immortal Sect is strict about this, and it is said that nearly ten Jindan elders personally escorted them there, and even the disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect did not know. The subordinates have not yet been able to inquire about the specific information. ”

The big flag envoy reported.

The green-robed old monster's face was dark, and he had been thinking for a long time.

Several sects led by the Penglai Immortal Sect destroyed the Tianfeng Gorge Demon Cave and destroyed the Demon Demon Alliance that he had painstakingly operated for hundreds of years. Even he himself was seriously injured by several Jindan monks from the Penglai Immortal Sect, and he has not yet recovered.

In the past two years, he has been plotting to take revenge on Penglai Immortal Sect, fanning the flames everywhere in Middle-earth, but with little success. And these methods are just the skin, and they can't move the foundation of Penglai Immortal Sect at all.

He was full of hatred and anger for Penglai Immortal Sect, and he couldn't vent it.

If he had the opportunity to infiltrate these more than 200 foundation building monks, snatch those ten mysterious spirit fruits, and even kill many Penglai foundation building monks, he would definitely make Penglai Immortal Sect suffer a lot of vitality and shake the foundation of the middle level.

It's just that Penglai Immortal Sect dispatched a number of Jindan monks to protect this operation closely.

It will not be easy for him to succeed.

"It seems that this time the old man must personally take action, disguise himself as an incarnation to replace one of them, and infiltrate these foundation-building monks. There is hope for Fang to snatch the spirit fruit. ”

The green-robed old monster said with a deep face.

He had cultivated an extremely clever incarnation disguise technique, and he could not only disguise himself as a mortal, but also disguise himself as a Qi Refining Cultivator and a Foundation Building Cultivator.

The appearance and mana aura can be almost exactly the same, vivid. Only the divine consciousness is slightly different, unless it is an acquaintance, it will be slightly noticed.

However, with more than 200 Foundation Cultivators participating in the Spirit Fruit Battle, and the number of them was huge, he could always find a suitable person to infiltrate the crowd in his place.

With the methods of his later Jindan, it is not difficult to incarnate into a foundation building monk, and it is not difficult to sneak into it.

It's just that his injuries are too serious, even if he is a cultivator in the late stage of Jindan, I am afraid that he can only exert the strength of the early stage of Jindan.

"But, Alliance Master, your injuries are quite serious, is it convenient to act?"

"It's better to let your subordinates do it for you!"

The flag envoys hurriedly said.

"It's okay! You are easy to show your feet, and the old man will have a greater grasp of it himself. It's not a problem to deal with a group of foundation building monks. If you take these mysterious spirit fruits, they can be used to heal the old man's injuries. There are even surplus spirit fruits, which can be rewarded to you!"

The cold face of the green-robed old monster showed a grim smile.

These mystic spirit fruits contain extremely abundant vitality, which can not only allow the foundation building monk to break through the Jindan realm.

It is also a great tonic for Jindan monks, which can greatly enhance their cultivation and also have an excellent suppression effect on injuries.

If he grabbed these spirit fruits, he could completely step into the peak of the Jindan realm from the seventh-layer realm in the late stage of Jindan, and he was only one step away from the Yuanying realm.

Of course, the remaining one or two spirit fruits can also be used to reward loyal subordinates of the Demon Demon Alliance and win people's hearts.

The green-robed old monster knew that there were not enough benefits, and it was extremely difficult to get many demon cultivators to gather around him and completely obey orders just by virtue of coercion and poisonous Gu coercion.

Under the heavy reward, there is a brave man.

Otherwise, if you are not convinced, you will not really work for him.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

"Subordinates and others must never give up!"

When the envoys heard this, they couldn't help but be ecstatic, and their faces turned red with excitement.

Except for the large and small immortal sects, it is extremely difficult for scattered cultivators in the outside world to obtain the mysterious spirit fruit, and it is extremely difficult to become a Jindan monk. The vast majority of the Jindan monks in the Middle Earth Immortal Cultivation Realm were disciples of the Immortal Sect, and only one percent were outside monks, which was evident.

If they could be rewarded with spiritual fruits, their hopes of being promoted to Jindan monks would be greatly increased.

As long as you can become a Jindan monk, the entire Middle Earth Immortal Cultivation Realm is the top layer, and it is not a sideways.

"Now there is still half a year before the battle for the spiritual fruit of the Penglai Immortal Sect. You act separately, disguise yourself as other Immortal Sect monks or loose cultivators, and go to contact the disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect. It is best to contact those foundation building monks who have obtained the battle to participate in the spiritual fruit battle, lure them here, and the old man personally kills them, and incarnates to infiltrate the Penglai Immortal Sect. Who can make meritorious contributions, after the old man has done it, he will be rewarded with a mysterious spirit fruit!"

The green-robed old monster commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, the subordinates must do their best!"

Many of them were traitors from various Immortal Sects, and they disguised themselves as disciples of the original Immortal Sect to inquire about information and contact the disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect, so it was naturally not a problem.

As for the foundation building disciples who incarnated as Penglai Immortal Sect to infiltrate Penglai Immortal Sect, I am afraid that only the green-robed old monster of the Demon Demon Alliance leader can do it.

...

Penglai Immortal Sect, Yantao Peak, a huge bluestone square of thousands of zhang in front of the disciple hall is quite lively.

Because the battle of the spiritual fruit was approaching, more than 200 foundation building period monks and masters who were preparing to participate in this battle came here one after another to assemble and listen to Elder Jindan's arrangement.

Many low-level monks also came to join in the fun, taking this opportunity to sell some elixirs, elixirs and other consumables.

Su Chen's imperial sword flew to the disciple's hall and fell.

Soon, he found Wu Qiao, Sun Qingning and other acquaintances among the crowd of foundation building monks, and couldn't help but come forward to greet him, chat, and chat about the recent situation.

By noon, the Great Elder of the Discipline Hall, who was presiding over this year's Spirit Fruit Battle, arrived late with a group of more than ten Jindan monks.

"Now count the list and check the number of people!"

"Su Chen! Show the disciple token!"

"The disciple is here!"

"Sun Qingning, show the disciple token!"

"The disciple is here!"

“...”

The Jindan elders counted the number of people one by one, and checked the appearance and identity tokens of the disciples one by one to prevent substitution and counterfeiting. The identity token requires the person's mana to be stimulated, and it usually cannot be counterfeited.

The number of more than 200 foundation building disciples with recommended quotas has been counted, and everyone has arrived.

The Jindan elders and more than 200 foundation building realm monks each took dozens of large and luxurious spirit horse flying cars, and set off under the leadership of Elder Li and a group of Jindan monks.

More than a dozen foundation building monks, crammed into the same speeding carriage, left the mountain gate of Penglai Immortal Sect, and went into the distance.

Su Chen, Wu Qiao, Sun Qingning and others rode in the same carriage.

The crowd whispered.

"Where are we going?"

Su Chen asked.

"I don't know, the location and rules of each Spirit Fruit Dispute will not be the same. ”

Sun Qingning shook his head and said, "Because some of the core disciples of the family will participate in the Spirit Fruit Dispute almost every ten years. There are some new foundation building monks who only participate once in a while. If the rules are always the same, the old man has more experience, and he will have a huge advantage over the newcomer, and he will not be able to reflect his real strength. It is even easy to be exploited.

Therefore, in order to be as fair as possible, and to avoid someone who is familiar with the venue and rules and gain an additional advantage, each Spirit Fruit battle will not be arranged in the same place, and there will be very few repetitions. In this way, everyone starts the same, and they can only fight for strength. ”

Inside the carriage, the other monks also said, "Yes, in the twenty years, it was arranged in a large ring, and the top ten were contested. Ten years ago, it was in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Shushan, the place where evil demons were suppressed, and the first to rush to the top of the tower to get the spirit fruit. But this time it's not clear, it must have changed places and rules again. ”

Su Chen nodded slightly.

At first, the disciples would chat in the carriage and communicate to pass the time, but after a long time, there were fewer words. After a few days, he still did not reach his destination.

All the monks fell silent, waiting for the upcoming battle of spiritual fruits.
