Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 91 Spring Hunting in the Hundred Mountains (31)

After Xu Yan took out the Madness Griffin's Inner Dan, he didn't pay attention to its corpse, but went to get a Madness Griffin's beast egg, and then sat in this cave with one person and one snake and began to enjoy this extra meal.

Compared to Xiaocai's raw swallowing of bird eggs, Xu Yan is much more elegant, he just cracks a small hole in the eggshell, and then sucks the egg white inside into his mouth, it can be seen that the time for this wild griffin to start hatching eggs is quite short, because these eggs are no different from when they were first born, and even compared to the chicken, duck and goose eggs that people usually eat, the taste of wild griffin eggs is much more delicious.

First of all, it doesn't have any fishy smell, only a faint fragrance, which is very similar to the taste of Nanedan, and secondly, it itself has a strong energy, which is also a rare and great tonic for cultivators.

Xu Yan already felt a sense of fullness after eating the egg of this mad griffin, and then, he noticed that in his body, there was a lot of energy that was slowly spreading, and then it was continuously absorbed and devoured by his martial arts true qi, but at the same time, some of the energy was absorbed by his already incomparably condensed qi mansion.

In the cultivation of kendo, especially in the condensation of the qi mansion, Xu Yan has never deliberately used external forces to improve it, only the ten years of skill obtained from Zhao Bailian can be regarded as the first external force he has absorbed since he practiced kendo, the reason is naturally because he is not familiar with this kind of cultivation, and he is afraid that the indiscriminate use of external forces will easily affect his own foundation, but at this moment, when he saw that the energy emitted from the eggs of the wild griffin beast was absorbed by the qi mansion itself, he did not stop it, but looked at it with interest。

Different from the cultivation of martial arts true qi, the cultivation of Qi Mansion basically depends on his own perseverance through meditation and absorbing the endless stream of heaven and earth aura in order to accumulate and enhance bit by bit, and Qi Fu itself has never taken the initiative to absorb other energies, and in addition, because Xu Yan himself has not been exposed to any practice in the way of the sword, he naturally cannot understand the specific reasons for the current situation.

However, he was not worried about the current situation, after all, after absorbing Zhao Bailian's ten years of power, his Qi Mansion was already infinitely close to breaking through to the fourth floor, and it was a big deal that after it absorbed these energies, it would naturally break through to the Middle Third Realm. As for why he didn't make a breakthrough before, it was just to listen to the advice that the cardinal gave him at the beginning, and he wanted to completely familiarize himself with this power first, and integrate it into his own use before making a breakthrough, but this didn't mean that he was really far away from the four floors, or the middle three realms.

Speaking of which, I have to mention that in fact, after Xu Yan received Zhao Bailian's teaching of his sword qi record, and after he woke up and felt the changes that had taken place in his qi mansion, he had already realized the sacrifice made by his master in order to speed up his progress in sword dao cultivation.

Ten years of skill, maybe for Zhao Bailian, is nothing, but for Xu Yan, the meaning is completely different, after all, he has only been in a short period of three years since he started his cultivation, if the latter did not give him this opportunity, if he wants to step into the middle three realms, he is still far away, and when he broke through from the second floor to the third floor before, he was already a little in a hurry.

Of course, the reason why he did this at that time was more out of helplessness, wanting to stand out from that selection competition and get the most superior reward, and even now in this Baishan Spring Hunt, if he only has a two-story kendo cultivation, then even if he learns multiple sets of sword tricks after learning, it will definitely not be so easy.

A wild griffin's beast egg, the energy it contains is limited after all, and most of it is swallowed by the true qi of the martial arts, so his qi mansion did not absorb too much energy in it, but Xu Yan felt that after absorbing these energies, the trajectory of this qi mansion did not show any signs of stopping at all, but instead revealed a strong desire for energy.

Feeling this, Xu Yan thought for a moment, then took out a few newly picked wild fruits from the storage bag under the guidance of Xiao Cai, and then swallowed them into his stomach one by one.

These fruits are naturally not ordinary melons and fruits, but fruits full of spiritual energy that Xu Yan snatched from the protection of various spirit beasts, although he just ate them directly, the effect is far less effective than the pills refined by asking the alchemist to cooperate with other spirit grasses, but since Xu Yan is still in the deep mountains and old forests at this time, how can he be picky?

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yan ate five fruits in one go, they were like the beast eggs of the wild griffin, after being swallowed by him, they emitted bursts of energy, but obviously, their energy was not large, even if Xu Yan deliberately controlled the martial arts true qi not to devour half of it, but after they were absorbed by this qi mansion, they still failed to make any changes in the qi mansion, just like a stone sinking into the sea, and could not set off the slightest wave.

Xu Yan saw this scene, and felt that after devouring the energy of these fruits, this qi mansion seemed to have a greater desire to devour, and even couldn't help but raise his sword eyebrows.

In his storage bag, there are not too many fruits with aura, after all, it is still spring, and the species that can bear fruit in this season are quite rare, if it is summer and autumn, maybe under the guidance of Xiaocai, he can pick a lot more fruits.

Looking at the only seven fruits left in the storage bag, Xu Yan was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he wanted to continue to swallow them, after all, it was a bit of a waste to eat them as ordinary fruits, but in the end, after some weighing, he still gritted his teeth and took them out, after all, it was extremely rare for this kind of situation to occur in the qi mansion in the body.

Compared to the preciousness of these fruits, Xu Yan wanted to see how much energy this Qi Mansion could devour him.

After a cup of tea.

Xu Yan finished eating all the fruits he had picked, which contained four or five different varieties, but the energy contained in them still couldn't make the qi fu change too much, but it only made its speed seem to have improved a lot compared to usual.

If the qi house in normal times is only running at a turtle-like speed, then at this moment, its speed has caught up with the running rabbit.

But there is no doubt that its speed is far from reaching its limit.

Xu Yan was a little speechless, this abnormal phenomenon, for some reason, actually made him feel a premonition that he was going to break through the realm, but what made him feel a little embarrassed was that there were no more fruits that he could eat directly at the moment, and there were still many spirit grasses in the storage bag, but before the spirit grass was refined into pills, it was like ordinary weeds, and it couldn't be eaten at all.

Xu Yan was a little distressed, how could it be that at this time, he had signs of breaking through the realm? He sighed softly, but he didn't have the slightest recourse, he could only be ruthless in his heart, and took out an inner pill from the storage bag that was relatively weak, a third-level spirit beast with relatively weak strength, and swallowed it in one gulp, ignoring what Chen Qinghe had warned him before.

This smallest inner pill is only about the size of a red date, after Xu Yan threw it into his mouth, he found that it was just like those finished refined pills, it melted in his mouth, directly turned into a stream of air, and quickly drilled into his body, and the final result did not disappoint him, this energy emitted by the inner pill was undoubtedly much higher than the energy brought by all the fruits added up before, and the difference between the two can almost be described as a world of difference.

"Boom".

Xu Yan only felt that in his body, it suddenly seemed to be a stormy wave.

Immediately, the energy emitted by this Neidan was like a torrent that broke through the last barrier in the embankment and burst into his body. Xu Yan felt this powerful energy, did not do any stagnation, and immediately controlled the Qi Mansion to absorb it frantically. And just as his qi mansion had successfully pulled this energy, its speed continued to increase so much that when it was about to absorb all of the energy of this inner pill, it looked like it had turned into a miniature version of the eye of a hurricane.

Xu Yan only felt that at this moment, his body was filled with an immeasurable terrifying crisis, and this crisis was no less than the sword spirit power that the cardinal had slashed out for him in Changle at the beginning.

He clearly realized that if he couldn't make it to the fourth floor this time, then it would be even more difficult for him to break through next time.

About half an hour passed again.

The energy of this Neidan that Xu Yan had swallowed was finally completely absorbed by his Qi Mansion, which couldn't help but make it look like it had truly become an eye of a hurricane.

Xu Yan closed his eyes and felt the number of laps it had made in each breath, and then came up with an astonishing answer, a full eight hundred and eighty-eight times. However, it is a pity that at this running speed, it is still impossible to make the qi house split into two as the cardinal said, and even a crack cannot be made.

Xu Yan had a headache for this, it stands to reason that breaking through from three floors to four floors, on the basis of his original slightest, should not have to take much effort to succeed, but the result is very different from what he imagined, not to mention those fruits and the beast eggs of the mad griffin, which is the energy contained in that third-level inner pill, which is enough to be comparable to the energy of ten Peiyuan pills superimposed.

"Am I using the wrong method?"

Xu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but immediately shook his head again. Even if he used the wrong method, he would have no way back now, because he knew very well that in this case, if he stopped breaking through like this, not to mention how difficult it would be to make a breakthrough in the future, even if he couldn't calm down the operation of the Qi Mansion at the moment, which would cause great damage to his foundation.

"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!"

Xu Yan gritted his teeth, and a trace of resoluteness flashed in his deep eyes. He directly took out the egg-sized blood-colored Neidan taken from the Blood Wolf King from the storage bag, and then directly opened his mouth and forced it in.

"Boom!"

The next moment.

In Xu Yan's body, there was a huge tide of energy, which kept tumbling like a river and a sea, but without exception, they all rushed to the fast-moving qi mansion in Xu Yan's body in an instant. And since he had the huge energy emitted by this Blood Wolf King Neidan to support him, Xu Yan felt that the speed of this Qi Mansion in his body had finally increased significantly.

In the blink of an eye, it had made more than a thousand laps per breath, but that wasn't enough.

Xu Yan's face was gloomy, and he no longer took it lightly, and controlled the qi fu with all his strength to continuously absorb these tumbling and majestic energies.

A quarter of an hour later, the speed of his Qi Mansion completely crossed the fifteen hundred mark, and at this moment, he also found that most of the energy emitted by the Blood Wolf King Neidan had been officially absorbed.

Xu Yan felt that there was still no trace of crack in the Qi Mansion, and his expression was gloomy, which couldn't help but make him highly suspicious, he might really have chosen the wrong way to break through, but at this point, what else could he do? There was no turning back.

Another quarter of an hour passed quietly.

The energy contained in the Blood Wolf King's Inner Dan was all absorbed by the Qi Mansion.

At this moment, the speed at which the Qi Mansion was running in one breath reached an astonishing 1,800 times.

Xu Yan didn't know the meaning of this value, but after seeing that his qi was still the same, he couldn't help but sigh with a dejected face, he was far from thinking that the Heavenly Spirit Root physique, which he was called the most outstanding foundation, would be so difficult when he broke through the Middle Three Realms, which was a huge gap between heaven and earth compared to his cultivation of martial arts.

However, just when Xu Yan was completely depressed, he suddenly heard a voice, "Click!"

The sound was like the sound of a ceramic jar that could not withstand the high temperature and cracked, but to Xu Yan at this moment, it was like a real sound of heaven.

Xu Yan looked intently and saw that the Qi Mansion that was running rapidly was finally overwhelmed, and a crack appeared from the middle part.

Urgently, under the power of such extremely fast operation, it split into two and became two qi mansions.

Xu Yan exhaled lightly with relief and slowly opened his eyes.

The next moment, among these mountains and rivers, there were countless heaven and earth spiritual qi hanging upside down like the Milky Way, pouring down, directly rushing into the cave on this cliff.

Xu Yan greedily absorbed these heaven and earth aura.

The kendo cultivation on him jumped from the original peak of the three-story building to the four-story building, and then rose to the middle of the four-story building, the peak of the four-story building, until it was extremely close to the five-story building, and then came to an abrupt end.

Xu Yan felt the new realm he had reached, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, at this moment, he suddenly understood why he was so difficult and bumpy when he broke through to the middle three realms.

"Is this accumulation?"

......

In the cave where Xu Yan was, only a short five miles away, a group of young disciples suddenly stopped at this moment.

The man at the head turned his head to look at the people behind him, and asked, "The aura that suddenly disappeared just now was so strong, did you feel it?"

Hearing Zhou Yu speak first, and seeing that no one in the group answered, Yan Ziyi said: "Naturally, I feel it, but I don't know what kind of monster is the breath it is, and it doesn't seem to be too far away from us." ”

"Yes, it shouldn't be more than five miles away, we need to speed up and take a look, let's hope it's a spirit beast. ”

However, when Zhou Yu and the others rushed to where Xu Yan was, they didn't see anything.

Zhou Yu's face was gloomy, he glanced at the bare cliff on the left side of the dense forest, then retracted his gaze, and said: "It's strange, the breath I felt just now is obviously near here, but there is only one side of the cliff here, could it be that the thing that emits this breath has sensed in advance that we are approaching and has already run away?"

In the past three days, Zhou Yu and the others have never encountered even a third-level spirit beast because they have walked the same path that Xu Yan has walked, and of course, they have not been able to meet the disciples of the Lotus Sect, as if after entering this yellow hair tip, whether it is a spirit beast or a disciple of the Lotus Sect, they have all disappeared out of thin air, if it weren't for Yan Ziyi's careful inspection of a trace of footprints before, they even felt that Xu Yan and these people would have sneaked back to the sect a long time ago.

Yan Ziyi also just stretched out his head and glanced at the cliff outside the mountain, then withdrew his gaze, and he said: "It seems that the truth is as Er Shao said, that thing should have an innate ability to perceive the aura of danger, so it slipped away when we approached. ”

After Zhou Yu heard this, his face was very ugly and he said in a deep voice: "Since there is nothing here, then let's not stay too long, let's continue to move forward!"

Hearing the other party's words, Yan Ziyi couldn't help but glance at Wu Hao, and saw that the latter's eyes narrowed slightly, and if a cold light flashed, he immediately said to Zhou Yu: "That...... Ershao, this is the hinterland of the middle section of the Huangmaojian mountain range, if we continue to go forward, not more than ten miles, but we will enter the upper area of the Huangmaojian, you ...... Are you sure you want to go north?"

Zhou Yu heard the meaning of his words, and did not talk to him again, but said directly to Wu Hao: "Brother Wu, with your strength, in the Huangmaojian area, you will not be ......."

Wu Hao saw that he deliberately stretched out his voice but didn't finish speaking, he didn't care, just smiled and said, "Er Shao, then lead the way!"

......

After Zhou Yu and the others continued to leave to the north, they didn't know that on the cliff they had probed and inspected before, a Lotus Sect disciple was slowly climbing out of the cave that they could see even if they had just poked out a little more.

In Fangcai, Xu Yan naturally heard the movements and conversations of Zhou Yu and the others, and he looked at the only path in front of him that could lead to the upper mountain range, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately followed.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough again, Xu Yan, but do you really want to keep up with them, the martial artist who injured you before is stronger than you?"

Hearing Xiao Cai's voice coming from the sea of knowledge, Xu Yan, who was striding forward, replied in a deep voice: "Of course you have to keep up with them, although Wu Hao's cultivation in martial arts is even higher than mine, but I now have a certain confidence to dare to fight him head-on." ”

"Alright then, since you've made up your mind, it's up to you, but I'm going to fall asleep, I feel like I'm about to break through to the sixth level after eating so much Neidan and that transformation grass. ”

"Well, then you can break through with peace of mind, I'll be fine. ”
