Ad-free reading in a misty mountain stream.

Zhou Yuanpan sat on the water and fire forging dragon platform, at this time he was sweating profusely, and his body was constantly trembling slightly, obviously he had just undergone a tempering of water and fire source qi.

The matter of fighting with Wu Hai that day was left behind by Zhou Yuan after the end, and he did not pay attention to some of the movements caused by this incident, and directly continued to bury his head in the deep mountains and penance.

The battle for chief is getting closer and closer, and he can't afford to relax.

"It hurts..."

Zhou Yuan whispered, because the little Xuan Holy Body had cultivated into the Jade Skin Realm, his physical body had also strengthened a lot, and the tempering effect of the first-level water and fire source qi on him had weakened a lot.

Therefore, today's Zhou Yuan directly gritted his teeth and completely stabilized the level at the second level.

That kind of tempering of the physical body is stronger, and of course, the pain that needs to be endured is far from being comparable to the first-level water and fire source qi.

Zhou Yuan stood up with some difficulty, swept to the edge of the cliff, and then sat down.

However, he did not rest, but took out a mottled tree scale from his arms, which emitted a strong aura of Yimu, which made Zhou Yuan's spirit slightly lifted.

Yesterday, with the help of Xuan Lao, he cut down more than 20 scales from the dragon scale locust tree again, because cultivating the physical body consumes too much blood and qi, and the "Taiyi Green Wood Mark" in Zhou Yuan's body because of his recent physical cultivation, it has also consumed a lot, if he doesn't make any supplements, I'm afraid it will be completely dispersed directly.

If there was no "Taiyi Green Wood Mark", Zhou Yuan would obviously not be able to temper his physical body with this intensity every day, and then his cultivation progress would become quite slow.

Zhou Yuan closed his eyes, and there were tree scales suspended between his palms, and wisps of turquoise air rose up, and finally poured into Zhou Yuan.

Between its flesh and blood, green points of light loomed, and an ancient pattern that was originally a little vague absorbed these points of light, regaining its brightness little by little.

Gradually, there was once again a vigorous blood and vitality, blooming in Zhou Yuan's body.

His originally pale complexion was gradually regaining its ruddyness, and the sharp pain caused by the previous tempering of water and fire source qi was also quietly dissipating...

An hour later.

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, and the scale between his palms turned into powder and fell, and the qi of Yimu in it was absorbed as much as possible.

Feeling the abundant blood in his body, Zhou Yuan also exhaled.

"It's only been more than twenty days since the battle for the chief."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a deep groan flashed in his eyes, with his current strength, he was no longer afraid of an opponent of Wu Hai's level, but this alone was obviously not enough.

Because the most troublesome person is Yuan Hong of Lu Hong's lineage.

Judging from the brief contact before, this Yuan Hong, even Zhou Yuan felt some dangerous aura, and this person would inevitably be the strongest obstacle in this chief battle.

Even if he cultivates the "Little Xuan Holy Body" to the Jade Skin Realm now, the physical body can be regarded as a small achievement, but according to Zhou Yuan's estimate, I am afraid that this is not safe, unless he can make an improvement on the "Little Xuan Holy Body" before the battle for the chief comes, and reach the second silver bone realm.

But if you want to reach the Silver Bone Realm, it is obviously not a simple matter.

He was able to cultivate the Jade Skin Realm in about a month, which was already a speed that ordinary people could not reach, and the Silver Bone Realm was obviously more difficult to cultivate than the Jade Skin Realm.

Even though he had raised the Water and Fire Source Qi to the second level during this time, his bones still showed no signs of transformation.

"Boy, why don't you hurry up and continue to cultivate after resting, what are you rubbing?" In Zhou Yuan's deep groaning, Xuan Lao's voice came from the side.

In the ruined stone pavilion next to it, Xuan Lao crushed the tobacco leaves, threw them into the pipe, lit it and took a puff, the smoke rose, and his cloudy eyes looked at Zhou Yuan lazily through the smoke.

Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he struggled for a while, and finally a look of determination and determination poured out.

He raised his head, looked at Xuan Lao, and said, "Senior, I plan to raise the water and fire source qi to the third level. ”

Xuan Lao's old palm holding the cigarette stick trembled, and his eyes were rarely a little shocked, and said, "You kid don't want to die?" The second level of water and fire source qi is already a little unbearable for you now, and you still dare to challenge the third level? ”

He stared at Zhou Yuan, thinking that the latter was just talking nonsense, but he saw Zhou Yuan's determined gaze.

"Seriously?" Xuan Lao was a little moved.

It takes a lot of courage to challenge the third level.

Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, wasn't his penance this year just for the upcoming chief battle? If he misses this time, then maybe he will have to wait until next year...

And now, he obviously doesn't have much time to wait.

So, he has to push his potential out in the most extreme way... Even if it can seem a little cruel.

But the path of cultivation requires indomitable courage.

I think that when he was in the Great Zhou, the eight veins in his body were not visible, and he couldn't even cultivate, and at that time, if he gave up, I am afraid that it would not be possible to have today.

And he didn't give up back then, and now... It is even more impossible for him to give up.

Xuan Lao took a hard puff, the smoke rose, he stood up, looked at Zhou Yuan and said solemnly: "Boy, the third-level water and fire source qi is too strong for you now, if you insist, I am afraid that you will have to be prepared to suffer a lot." ”

His words aggravated a lot in the three words of great suffering, obviously telling Zhou Yuan that this matter was not child's play.

Zhou Yuan smiled, did not answer, as soon as his figure moved, he appeared on the stone platform, his eyes looked directly at Xuan Lao, obviously representing the answer with his actions.

Xuan Lao was slightly stunned, nodded slightly, and in the depths of his cloudy eyes, there seemed to be a strong sense of appreciation.

Cultivating together, there are thousands of difficulties, there has never been a smooth road, in so many years, he has seen too amazing and outstanding geniuses, but sometimes, perseverance and courage may be more important than talent.

He also didn't speak again, and with a slight wave of the bamboo broom in his hand, a source qi fluctuation spread out.

Immediately afterwards, on the top of the stone dragons entwined on the two peaks, the third stone scale gradually became brighter.

Boom!

The whole heaven and earth seemed to be shaking at this time, and the high temperature and cold air quietly diffused, each filling half of the sky.

In the end, the two stone dragons opened their mouths, and the next moment, a mighty torrent of water and fire erupted.

The figure of Zhou Yuan sitting next to the stone platform was almost instantaneous, and was submerged by two torrents of water and fire, and the stone platform was half red at this time, and half had frost condensation...

At the same time, a low roar of suppressed pain came from the torrent of fire and water.

After a stick of incense.

When the torrent of water and fire fell, Xuan Lao hurriedly looked, only to see a steaming figure falling into his eyes, Zhou Yuan's skin was open, as if he had been skinned, extremely infiltrating.

But his eyes were deadly open, and there was a faint breath between his noses.

His spirit was obviously tense all the time, and when the torrent of fire and water dissipated, he finally reached his limit, and then his body fell from the stone platform.

Apparently in a coma.

A source of qi surged, wrapped around Zhou Yuan's falling body, carried it up, and landed on the edge of the cliff.

Xuan Lao looked at Zhou Yuan, who was directly unconscious, but he could see that under his skin, there were turquoise light patterns looming, exuding blood and energy, maintaining Zhou Yuan's vitality, and those skins were gradually repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And faintly, it seems that you can see a trace of silver light passing through the flesh and blood.

Xuan Lao smacked his tongue and sighed secretly, but he also had a little admiration.

"What a little madman..."

…

When Zhou Yuan began to cultivate frantically on the Water and Fire Forging Dragon Platform, time was also quietly passing in the Cangxuan Sect, and unconsciously, the day of the chief battle was getting closer and closer.

And the atmosphere that had been brewing in the Cangxuan Sect for a long time was also becoming more and more boiling, and the eyes of the entire sect were all converging on the most important event of the year.

The battle for the chief is coming.
