Chapter 278: Fishing in Troubled Waters
It is precisely because of this that Feng Ruo planned not to flee away immediately, but to be near to see if he could fish in troubled waters and collect a few mending stones.
Of course, Feng Ruo dared to do this is not so bold that he is not afraid of death, in fact, he has two extremely good things to rely on, first of all, the Heaven Replenishing Stone Mine should be in the earth fire at the bottom of the sea, in this way, most cultivators can only collect in the periphery in a short period of time, but Feng Ruo has a Xuanhuo clone, but he has no such concerns, he can completely control the Xuanhuo clone to directly enter the earth fire to investigate!
And this is why in the previous time, Feng Ruo would choose to go to the secret vault of the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce on South Wind Island to sweep the autumn wind, but gave up the more valuable Heaven Replenishing Stone.
As for Feng Ruo's second basis, it relied on the general trend, because now the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce's action to block the news has been a complete failure, and someone must have passed this important news back to the Immortal Cultivation Realm at this moment.
It is almost foreseeable that in the coming period, the major forces in the Immortal Cultivation Realm will swarm like sharks that smell blood, and in this chaotic situation, it is best to fish in troubled waters!
And today, Feng Ruo just planned to explore the situation from afar, because he knew very clearly how powerful the power of the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce was, not to mention anything else, just encountering a master like Huang Jiuhe and chasing souls was enough to make his life go unsafe!
But speaking of which, Feng Ruo also has to thank that unlucky soul chaser, because if it weren't for this guy who is neither male nor female, he is afraid that he will never think that the small cyan tower actually requires a lot of innate wood to open!
You must know that when Feng Ruo used to be, it was not that he had not tried to input the innate wood sha, but the results were all like no response to the cow playing the piano.
Now Feng Ruo finally has a basic understanding of this small cyan tower, first of all, regardless of whether it is the legendary Tower of Babel or not, but one thing is certain, that is, the cost of opening this small cyan tower is extremely high, and it must require a large number of innate wood demons to input at the same time to have an effect, and this effect is incomparable defense and recovery mana.
Moreover, Feng Ruo also guessed that this was only the initial stage, because the total amount of innate wood sha he possessed now was still pitiful, and if he could continue to increase the amount of innate wood sha imported, maybe there would be a different discovery.
However, this kind of attempt can only wait until he returns to the Sea of Dead Wood in the future, or Feng Ruo seizes the opportunity to cultivate the Innate Wood Demon himself from the dead spirit wood!
In addition, if we take this cyan small tower as an analogy, then the small black tower that Mu Feixue handed over to Feng Ruo before should need the Innate Water Evil to open, but this kind of thing is still very unreliable for Feng Ruo at present!
All in all, those two small towers are really a bit of a chicken to Feng Ruo's help now!
Therefore, Feng Ruo still had to focus on refining the Natal Flying Sword and continuing to practice the Aoki Flowing Cloud Slash and the Wood Spirit Killing Array, if he could, the cultivation of the Broken Gold Flowing Cloud Slash also had to hurry up!
At this time, after Feng Ruo cautiously marched forward for hundreds of miles, he had to stop, although his current position was still hundreds of miles away from the veins of the Replenishing Heaven Stone discovered that day, but this distance should already be the area guarded by the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce.
Don't look at the sea area near here, which is thousands of feet deep, but for cultivators, there is not much of an obstacle, especially those cultivators with powerful souls, once they are found to have the slightest clue, then it is impossible to escape!
Moreover, Feng Ruo could also guess that for the extremely rare existence of the Heaven Replenishing Stone Vein, the Yin Yuan Chamber of Commerce might send a master above the spirit infant stage to come to the town, so he had to be careful and careful.
However, although separated by hundreds of miles, Feng Ruo did not find it at all, that is, the sea creatures in the nearby sea area were extremely rare, and he had sneaked in this seabed for so long, and he didn't even find one, this situation was probably because the people of the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce had hunted a large number of people not long ago.
In addition, there is a thick layer of black mud on the surface of the seabed, covering everything that was original, but this is caused by the eruption of the earth fire a few days ago, which shows how terrifying the power of the earth fire erupted.
At this moment, after making sure that there was no danger around, Feng Ruo quietly took out a five-grade sword weapon, and then quietly dug in place, but his move was to facilitate himself to release the Xuanhuo clone into the Tiantian Stone vein when he had the opportunity. After all, his body can't withstand the terrifying high temperature of the earth fire, not to mention, under the surveillance of a large number of masters in the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce, his body doesn't want to sneak in, so in this case, he can only hide his body in a place that is not very far away, but also hidden enough, not only to avoid the detection of those cultivators, but also to avoid the tracking of those sea spirit beasts, he doesn't want his body to become a meal for those sea spirit beasts! It is precisely because of this that the hiding place that Feng Ruo excavated needs to be carefully arranged, fortunately, this is an endless sea that is wider than the land, coupled with the sea water more than a thousand zhang deep, so that the cultivator's vision and soul are greatly affected, otherwise if it is on land, he is really a little uneasy!
After digging down dozens of zhang in one go, Feng Ruo made a move to completely destroy the passage behind him and cut off the connection with the surface of the seabed, so that under the cover of those viscous gray mud, unless there was a cultivator who happened to do the same thing as Feng Ruo nearby, it would be difficult to find the traces left by Feng Ruo.
And this is only Feng Ruo's first cover-up, and then he took out a thousand pieces of white jade specially used to build the courtyard where the cultivator lived, this thing has a wide range of uses in the immortal cultivation world, it can be used to arrange formations, and it can also build various buildings, because they have a good effect of isolating the spiritual energy, so as to prevent the spiritual energy in the cultivator's courtyard from spreading out.
At the same time, this kind of white jade is a good thing to cover up his whereabouts, for example, in the current environment of Feng Ruo, if it is a phantom array or a masking formation, it will inevitably leave a trace of faint fluctuations, and this slight fluctuation is difficult to escape the reconnaissance of the cultivators, so it is better to use these jade stones to block it!
Of course, this is not to say that these jade stones can replace those complex masking formations, mainly depending on which method is most effective in what situation.
At this moment, after Feng Ruo sealed all the surroundings of his body with white jade, he sat down cross-legged with satisfaction, and there were words in his mouth, and as the magic formula continued to unfold, the mana in almost all the meridians in Feng Ruo's body began to slow down, and even his golden pill began to be covered with a layer of mist.
This is the secret technique that the old man of the clouds taught Feng Ruo to change the shape of his body and cultivation in the sea of dead wood, he is now transforming his cultivation to the lowest state, for example, he can completely use this secret technique to make his cultivation look like that of the Qi refining period.
But now Feng Ruo needs no mana at all, or even no vitality at all, because this time he wants to attach all his divine souls to the Xuanhuo clone, and the body is not left with any divine souls, so there is absolutely no room for mistakes, in case someone finds out about the horse's feet, he can't even cry!
In this case, there is nothing more reassuring than a dead body.
At this moment, with the completion of the secret technique, Feng Ruo's whole person has become withered and like a defeat, looking like a guy who is about to fall into death, not to mention the magic power, even the faint breath is intermittent.
"Hey, this old man's skills are not bad! This kind of secret technique is really breathtaking!"
With a sigh, Feng Ruo was very satisfied with attaching all his divine souls to the Xuanhuo clone, and then carefully reduced the entire Xuanhuo clone to the size of a fist, and the heat released was completely recovered by him, so that in addition to looking like a flame, his Xuanhuo clone was no different from a cloud of red seaweed in the sea!
Of course, Feng Ruo didn't mean to do this, you must know that water and fire are restrained, this is nature, no matter how powerful his Xuanhuo clone is, in this vast sea, if it is wantonly released, it will also be extinguished in the blink of an eye, so it must change its form and become a heat wave, which will naturally not attract the rejection of sea water!
After dealing with all this, Feng Ruo cautiously floated out of the surface of the seabed along the gap left before, and then floated like this, slowly touching the Heaven Replenishing Stone Mine hundreds of miles ahead.
At this moment, unless he was met head-on by a master of the Spirit Infant Stage, otherwise, Feng Ruo didn't have to worry about being seen through, and once he successfully entered the earth fire in front of him, then he would really do whatever he wanted and be fearless!
However, Feng Ruo still underestimated the strength of the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce, and just as he was close to the entrance of the Earth Fire fifty miles, he was immediately bounced back by a transparent light shield!
"Oops! The Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce moved so fast, and in less than three days, a large defensive formation had already been set up here!"
Feng Ruo was stunned for a moment in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, he had seen this kind of large-scale defensive formation in the Purple Moon City of the Five Elements Realm, even if thousands of high-level spirit beasts had to fight desperately for a few hours, he could barely attack it, let alone him now.
What's especially terrible is that no matter whether he tries to attack or crack it, it will alarm the people in the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce inside, which is not what he wants.
"Tsk, I still underestimated the Hidden Yuan Chamber of Commerce! Such a large defensive formation should be presided over by a formation grandmaster to be completed in such a short period of time!"
Sighing in his heart, Feng Ruo immediately controlled the Xuanhuo clone to retreat to the side, and now he had to wait slowly for the other forces in the Immortal Cultivation Realm to come and see if he could find an opportunity to fish in troubled waters!
(There is something to do today, I ask you for a leave, today's third shift will be made up next Monday, thank you!) [This text is provided by]
