It's a pity that most of the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring has been sucked by the dryad, otherwise, the color of the transpiring mist should be even thicker and greener.

Afterwards, Li Xiang arranged a small phantom array around him to hide the pile of rocks from being disturbed by people or animals.

Then, a small spirit gathering array was arranged in the pit to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy.

After everything was ready, he summoned Shennong Ding, and then began to breathe his mind with all his might, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring, and converting it into his own true qi into the sea of qi, and then flowing to various meridians.

The increase in true qi is actually a process of realm ascension.

But it didn't happen overnight.

Just as the years of man increase, every moment, every hour...... Accumulation is days, months, and years.

With the Gathering Spirit Array as a guide, Li Xiang's speed of absorbing spiritual energy almost doubled.

Half a month later, the energy of the spiritual spring was almost exhausted. At this time, Li Xiang was still unable to stop pranayama, and happily felt the surging true qi in his body.

According to the normal cultivation method, I am afraid it will take two or three years to achieve the current effect.

Basically, the sea realm is also half gone.

If it weren't for the fact that this spiritual spring had been absorbed by the Dryad, it would be more than enough to break through into the Sea Realm.

Of course, if it weren't for the Dryad, how would Li Xiang have found here?

This is what Buddhists often call cause and effect.

……

"The Immortal Master is back!"

In the small village, someone saw Li Xiang's figure and couldn't help but shout in surprise.

For a while, the villagers poured out......

Li Xiang smiled and asked, "You shouldn't have heard of the demon incident during this time, right?" ”

"No, no ......"

"It's finally been peaceful for a while......"

"Thank you, Immortal Master......"

"Immortal Master, this is a little bit of our caution, and please don't dislike the Immortal Master......"

The village chief took the previous package containing copper plates and broken silver and handed it to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang waved his hand: "No need, your life is not easy, these silver taels should be returned to everyone......"

This demon extermination has gained a lot, what more money do you need?

It's not that Li Xiang is not rare in silver, but he knows that the money in it is all saved by the villagers from between their teeth, and it is not much, maybe less than twenty taels......

Of course, for these villagers, twenty taels of silver is a lot of money, almost enough to buy two cows.

Soon after, in the gratitude of the villagers, Li Xiang left the village and continued to march in the direction of the Central Plains.

Beyond the vast Qinling Mountains, the terrain gradually became opener.

It already belongs to the Guanzhong Plain, so there are many pedestrians, horses, and carriages coming and going on the official road, faintly showing a prosperous scene.

……

Three days later.

Li Xiang arrived at Hanzhong City.

However, he did not enter the city, but went around to the north of the city.

According to the information obtained before, Duan Fu and the three of them are the henchmen of Ji Zhixing, the fourth son of the Ji family.

Ji Zhixing has a courtyard in the north of Hanzhong City, and most of the henchmen he recruited live here and stand by.

When it was dark, Li Xiang finally found the location of the other courtyard.

However, he won't break into it directly, even if it's a separate courtyard, I don't know how many masters there are inside.

The best way is to wait for the rabbit.

After observing for two days, people came in and out of the courtyard every day, but no trace of Duan Fu and the three of them was found.

However, Li Xiang was not in a hurry, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He believed that the source would not be wrong, and Duan Fu and the three would also show up sooner or later.

After squatting for five or six days in a row, he finally ......

A familiar figure walked out of the courtyard and walked in the direction of Hanzhong.

It was Duan Fu.

There was another middle-aged man accompanying him, and the two were chatting while walking, looking elated, but they didn't know that they had been targeted.

After walking for about a pillar of incense, when I passed by a small forest, a palm shadow suddenly struck......

"Be careful!"

Although Duan Fu's injuries had not yet healed, his vigilance was still quite high, and when he heard the movement, he subconsciously flashed, and yelled at his accomplices.

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

The middle-aged man's strength was already low, and he was turning his head to speak, so he didn't have time to react, and immediately fell to the ground silently.

Then, Li Xiang walked out of the woods.

"Boy, is that you?"

As soon as he saw Li Xiang, Duan Fu couldn't help but exclaim, his expression was like seeing a ghost.

Speaking of which, the grievances and grievances between the two really can't be finished in one night......

There is a feeling of a dream.

"What? Isn't it a surprise? Surprised? ”

Li Xiang sneered.

Duan Fu's face changed several times......

Then, a riot was raised.

He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't seize the opportunity, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It's a pity that he still underestimates Li Xiang's current strength......

Facing Duan Fu's vicious swing of the sword shadow, Li Xiang did not dodge or dodge, and directly slapped a palm.

"Bang!"

The shadow of the sword and the shadow of the palm intersected, and there was a dull roar.

A huge force surged back, causing Duan Fu's qi and blood to surge, and his body to fly uncontrollably.

Li Xiang was afraid that this old guy would use the blood escape method again, so he didn't give him a chance to breathe, and he sacrificed his flying sword with a thought, and flew away like lightning......

A sword pierced directly through the opponent's right shoulder, bringing out a large canopy of blood.

"Old fellow, you have ...... today, too"

Li Xiang approached step by step, his heart rose and fell, and he was overwhelmed with emotion.

I think back then, I didn't have any temper when I was chased by this old guy in the mountains, but now, there was a big reversal, and I breathed a bad breath in an absolutely crushing way.

"Poof!"

Duan Fu covered his injured shoulder with his hand, his eyes darkened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood again.

"You...... ...... the hell Who is the disciple......

In Duan Fu's mind, the scene of the first meeting between the two involuntarily appeared.

At that time, he was so domineering, looking at Li Xiang with his eyes, as if he was an ant.

Now, the scene has been completely reversed.

Li Xiang said lightly: "Is this important?" ”

Duan Fu was stunned, and then made a pitiful look: "Everyone is a fellow practitioner, don't ...... Don't kill me, I'm also under the command of ......"

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as Li Xiang said it, he was even more angry, and scolded, "Who is the same person as you?" If it weren't for you old fellow snitching, the guy surnamed Ji would have sent you to deal with me?

It's not a chase and killing, but it actually burned down Lao Tzu's medical hall......"

"I ......"

Duan Fu was still waiting to quibble, but the more Li Xiang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and wave his magic sword and slash over...... Speaking of which, this magic sword was dropped by Duan Fu when he was fighting with the White Snake.

Now, it's best to use it to make a decision.

"Bang!"

A bloody light that soared into the sky.

It means the end of a feud.

It's not in vain to have traveled so far.

Subsequently, Li Xiang continued to squat near the courtyard for a few days, and finally caught a lone guy and forced him to ask about it, only to learn that Mu Haiyao and Fan Kai were not in the courtyard at present, but went to the south on the order of Ji Zhixing.

Even so, there is no need for Li Xiang to stay any longer, after all, his main target is Duan Fu, as for Fan Kai and the others, they will be left for later.

In short, the lives of these two will never be spared.

Next, Li Xiang came to Hanzhong City to stay for a few days, appreciated the customs, and by the way, purchased some medicinal materials and began to return.

When I returned to Qingcheng County, the hospital was still under repair.

Li Xiang went to Zhang Yuanwaifu and said that he was going to go out, and the time was uncertain.

After some explanation, he came to the cave where the White Snake was cultivating, and prepared to retreat and enter the Dao realm.
