Lin Ling'er has been cultivating in the outside world, and now with her extraordinary talent, she has reached the sixth level of foundation building.

Li Chaoyuan, who originally had a martial arts foundation, was only a seventh-level cultivator of qi refining. It won't be long before Lin Ling'er will completely surpass Li Chaoyuan

However, Lin Ling'er's actual combat experience is far inferior to Li Chaoyuan, Li Chaoyuan has been studying with Lonely Xuan for a long time, and now he has made a small success in the way of swordsmanship.

He had almost reached the level of comprehending the artistic conception of the sword, and once he comprehended it, his cultivation speed would also increase.

Shi Xiao looked at Lin Ling'er and Li Chaoyuan, and couldn't help nodding slightly.

He had never systematically guided the two of them before, and now they were able to act today because of their own efforts.

"That's right, the concentration of aura here is very suitable for cultivation."

"If you want to cultivate in the future, you can use this thing to enter the small secret realm to cultivate." Shi Xiao said as he handed Lin Ling'er a spirit stone.

This spirit stone was engraved with complex runes, and a miniature formation appeared on top of the spirit stone.

"Thank You, Master"

Lin Ling'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the spirit stone.

"Well, you can choose your own cave mansion to cultivate. If you want to go out and find Lin Ling'er, it's fine." Shi Xiao admonished.

Lin Ling'er nodded heavily when she heard this, and the others also looked for a suitable place to cultivate after hearing it.

Seeing this, Shi Xiao's figure flashed into the air and flew quickly to the southeast.

He flew directly out of twenty or thirty kilometers before flying to the cave where he had cultivated before.

Shi Xiao's spiritual sense instantly swept through the cultivation cave, and the formation inside was perfect, and he quietly entered the cave.

"Whew"

Shi Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and the majestic aura lingered throughout the cave.

He walked directly through the Spirit Gathering Array and the Psychedelic Array to the deepest part of the Cave. Shi Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and took out three or four bottles of pills from his arms.

These pills are all the ones that gather the spirit and wash the marrow, and are the most suitable pills for cultivation in the foundation building period.

Shi Xiao took out a few Gathering Spirit Pills and put them in his mouth, and turned the exercises into the power of the pills.

The surrounding aura quickly gathered around Shi Xiao, and in the sky above his cave mansion, bursts of aura clouds were conjured.

After a few moments, Shi Xiao entered the deep cultivation.

He immersed all his mind inside, and if no one broke the outside formation, he wouldn't disturb Shi Xiao's cultivation at all.

The surrounding aura was gradually inhaled into Shi Xiao's body, and the aura in the dantian meridians surged instantly.

The original liquefied aura gradually converged towards the dantian, and the danding on the dantian also exuded a glow, and the entire dantian cliff exuded light.

The aura on the Danding was condensed, and the phantom of a golden pill was gradually formed.

Starting from the seventh layer of the foundation building period, the monks in the foundation building period will start to condense the golden pill, and the golden pill phantom on the dendin will turn into essence and think that they have officially entered the golden pill realm.

Shi Xiao activated the Yin and Yang Qiankun, and all the surrounding spiritual energy and vitality merged into the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.

Time flies, time flies.

Time passed in the small secret realm seemed to become very fast, and a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, bursts of aura fluctuations suddenly came out of the peach blossom forest.

Suddenly, there was a pink pillar of light in the peach blossom forest that soared into the sky. Countless peach petals flew in the air, and the aura turned into gusts of wind and spread.

After the aura wind lasted for more than ten minutes, the aura petals and pillars of light in the air gradually dissolved.

In the next second, a shadow suddenly appeared on the peach blossom forest.

"Finally broke through to the Jindan realm, hmph, I finally have some self-protection ability." Huahua looked into the distance, and her figure suddenly disappeared in place.

Lin Ling'er and Li Chaoyuan also made breakthroughs in their cultivation.

After concentrating on cultivation in the small secret realm for a year, his cultivation has improved by another level.

Lonely Xuan was not in a hurry to improve his cultivation, his current cultivation realm was around the eighth layer of qi refining. He has always comprehended the sword intent and used the kendo technique to wash away his killing aura.

Now, Lonely Xuan has comprehended the artistic conception of the sword

。

Although the cultivation realm has not improved much, he has now truly entered the path of the sword.

The corners of Lonely Xuan's mouth couldn't help but smile, and at this moment, crimson flames suddenly burst out of the air behind him.

The flames turned into countless birds and beasts in midair, and a figure quietly stood above the flame giant eagle.

The Flame Eagle flew in a circle in mid-air before landing on the ground, and a man in a black robe walked up to Lonely Xuan.

"Lonely, you've improved your kendo again." Yang Ye looked surprised.

In just one year, the aura of Lonely Xuan has completely changed. The original lonely Xuan exuded a killing aura all over his body, and entering the killing mode was even more terrifying.

Now his temperament has changed greatly, just like an ordinary teenager. Except for the temperament of some people who are not allowed to enter, there is no trace of murderous aura.

"Well, Yang Ye. Your Flame Dao method has also become more and more sophisticated." Lonely Xuan nodded.

A hint of pride flashed in Yang Ye's eyes when he heard this: "Hehe, it's still thanks to Elder Shi. I don't know how he's cultivated."

At this moment, more than a dozen kilometers away.

A man and a woman were sparring in the dense forest, the woman clasped her hands together, and countless blue arcs instantly burst out and rushed forward.

The man did not panic in the face of the blue thunderbolt, and the long sword in his hand turned.

More than a dozen sword qi roared out, instantly turning the thunder and lightning in front of him into nothingness.

"Alright, that's all for today. Ling'er, your thunder and lightning method is too powerful." Li Chaoyuan smiled bitterly, his clothes were a little scorched.

Lin Ling'er smiled when she heard it, and the power of thunder and lightning around her body gradually integrated into her body.

"Thanks for the compliment, your swordsmanship has become more and more powerful. I'm afraid in a few moments, I won't be your match." Lin Ling'er said indifferently.

After the two of them stopped, they walked towards the lake next to them.

The aura here is very abundant, and Lin Ling'er and Li Chaoyuan can get twice the result with half the effort when they cultivate here. Li Chaoyuan also comprehended the artistic conception of the sword.

The Four Seasons Sword Technique taught by Shi Xiao, he has fully comprehended the Spring Sword Technique.

The two of them practiced in a small secret realm for a year, and Lin Linger always paid attention to the movements of the outside world on the way.

In the past year, Huaxia has been unusually calm. The Ancient Demon Venerable that appeared before seemed to never exist, of course, this was also because of the cooperation of many sects.

At the time of Shi Xiao's retreat, many large and small sect families joined together to find traces of the Demon Venerable and the Demon Clan.

The Extreme Thunder Gate, which originally had collusion with the Ancient Demon Clan, also suffered a heavy blow.

Although there is no actual evidence, the Extreme Thunder Gate has been suppressed by many sects, and its sphere of influence has become smaller and smaller.

The Hundred Flowers Palace itself is located in the southwest region, and it has joined forces with the Qingfeng Sword Sect, and it is rumored that the ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Palace has seen the light of day.

Many sect families did not dare to suppress the Hundred Flowers Palace, and the Hundred Flowers Palace did not continue to collude with the demons.

In the end, this matter was over, and Baihuagong also took the opportunity to strengthen its own power.

After a while, Lin Ling'er, Li Chaoyuan, Lonely Xuan and Huahua and others gathered together.

Everyone stayed in the secret realm for a full year, and the thought of going out appeared in their hearts.

It's just that Shi Xiao didn't have the slightest sign of going out. It was originally agreed for a year, but now it has been more than a month.

"Don't worry about him, it's normal to retreat for a few years, ten years or even decades." Huahua said indifferently.

Monks in the foundation building period sometimes need to retreat for several years or even ten years to break through the Jindan realm. Shi Xiao had only been in retreat for a year, and he was probably still cultivating in such a short period of time.

The reason why Huahua was able to break through to the Jindan realm was also because her cultivation was extremely high.

Moreover, after breaking the seal, the original power in the body that belongs to the unique Demon Venerable will recover on its own, so he successfully broke through to the Jindan realm after more than a year of retreat.

Huahua estimated that if Shi Xiao wanted to break through the Jindan Realm, this retreat should not be able to reach it.

"Flowey-senpai, shall we go out first?" Lin Linger asked.

Huahua thought about it, and then asked Lin Ling'er to let everyone out, leaving Shixiao alone to cultivate here

Finish.

Lin Ling'er opened the small secret realm through the spirit stone in her hand, and everyone flew up and left here.

At this moment, it is far away in the cave mansion dozens of miles away.

Shi Xiao's body was shrouded in majestic aura, and bursts of light bloomed on his body. The phantom of the golden pill on the dan ding in his dantian has become more and more condensed at night.

At this moment, his cultivation has reached the eighth-layer perfection of foundation building.

Previously, Shi Xiao's cultivation was close to the consummation of the seventh layer of foundation building, and during this time, with the rich aura and elixir, he successfully reached the consummation of the eighth layer of foundation building.

It's just that Shi Xiao is currently devoting himself to cultivation.

The strength of the Yin and Yang Qiankun Decisive is also highlighted, it can open up a second dantian, especially when it breaks through to the Jindan realm.

The normal dantian will condense the golden pill, and the upper dantian can also condense a fake pill.

A monk has two golden pills in his body, and his strength can be imagined.

After Lin Linger and the others returned to the secular world, they communicated with the Lin Family Martial Arts Association to understand the situation outside.

Daoxu Palace also sent someone to find Shi Xiao before, wanting him to attend the apprenticeship ceremony of Daoxu Palace, but Shi Xiao could only give up when he was in retreat at that time.

and Zhao Xiaoqian, the Purple Void Yuanjun of the Moon Occultation Sect, also looked for Shi Xiao, but when he heard that Shi Xiao was in retreat, he had no choice but to leave.

"Hey, is Mr. Shi still in retreat? I will also consult with him about the merman." Wu Tiankun smiled bitterly.

He had been waiting for Shi Xiao in the Lin Family Manor for more than a month, and he had come for the affairs of the shark people along the coast of the South China Sea.

However, after Lin Ling'er and the others came out, they told him that Shi Xiao was still in retreat.

"Are those mermaids still doing it?" Flowey frowned.

Wu Tianqi sighed and told Huahua about the matter.

It turned out that since Shi Xiao and the others left the coast of the South China Sea, those sharks temporarily stopped for a while. But for months, they have been making waves along the coast.

Each time, some of the fishermen from the fishing boats disappeared, and even went ashore to arrest people.

In the past few months, dozens of innocent people have disappeared. Moreover, many creatures in the sea have disappeared innocently, which should also be the means of the mermaid race.

In order to solve the merman clan, Wu Tiankun and others deliberately united many masters to encircle and suppress the merman clan.

Although they have killed some of the mermaids, they are proficient in water and can form formations, and when they encounter human monks, they will not be entangled at all.

The two sides fought more than a dozen battles, large and small, and in the end they still did not solve the merman clan.

Wu Tianqi thought that Shi Xiao had fought with the merman clan before, so he wanted to come for help, but he received the news of Shi Xiao's retreat.
