A few days later, in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, a dense mountain forest.

A leopard-like beast covered with money patterns with a frightened face flew on all fours in the mountains and forests, running wildly, and roaring angrily from time to time.

This leopard is two or three zhang long, the body is smooth, exuding a powerful aura, where it passes, all the birds, insects and ants are scared away, and it is a second-class fierce beast.

There are no scars on the leopard's body, but blood is constantly flowing from the corners of its mouth.

No matter how much the beast ran and fled, the blood from its mouth flowed more and more, and its speed quickly slowed down, and soon it fell to the ground, no longer moving.

In a piece of grass two hundred zhang away, the air trembled slightly, and a green figure slowly emerged, it was Yuan Ming.

He wore the gray cloak given by Sunset, which was now a turquoise color, completely blending in with his surroundings.

Yuan Ming walked forward quickly, and soon came to the corpse of the leopard beast.

This leopard is called the golden-veined leopard, and it is a second-level lower-level fierce beast, and its combat power is comparable to that of a monk in the early stage of foundation building, but Yuan Ming only controlled the black needle magic weapon from a distance, sneaked into the lower abdomen of this beast, pierced the belly and drilled into its body, and cut the heart, liver, intestines and lungs of this leopard full of holes.

The golden-veined leopard couldn't even find the enemy, so it fell here in a daze.

Yuan Ming raised his hand and made a move, and the black needle magic weapon flew out of the golden-veined leopard's mouth and fell into his hand.

Looking at the slender high-grade magic weapon in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction and put it away.

He spent a few days refining the object to make it more suitable for himself, and after this attempt, it did meet his expectations.

Yuan Ming took out the Cold Star Sword and carefully peeled off the skin of the golden-veined leopard.

The golden-veined leopard is a gold-based beast, and the skin of this beast contains abundant metallic spiritual power, which is extremely strong but light and soft, and can be used to refine the inner armor magic weapon, which is very valuable.

As for the rest of the leopard's body, it is of little value.

Yuan Ming put away the leopard skin and patted the other spirit beast bag.

The black toad spirit beast jumped out and sensed the abundant blood of the golden-veined leopard, the black toad's eyes showed excitement, and immediately shot out a few purple and black demon vines, and soon sucked the golden-veined leopard corpse dry.

The demonic power contained in the golden-veined leopard skin flesh was very different from that of the black toad, and the black toad's aura did not increase much, and he ran back to Yuan Ming's side lazily.

Yuan Ming frowned slightly, the black toad spirit beast was full of energy in the past, and he had never been so lazy.

He communicated with him through the beast control rune engraved on the Black Toad Knowledge Sea, but he didn't find anything, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore and put it in the spirit beast bag.

Yuan Ming then summoned the Qingyun Crane and flew towards the outside of the 100,000 Great Mountain, without continuing to hunt beasts here.

Two days later, Yuan Ming came to the outside of the Snake King Valley.

After the battle of destruction in Biluo Cave, in the face of powerful monks and beasts, he can be said to have deeply felt his insignificance, but he also further opened his horizons.

Now he is more and more eager for the improvement of his cultivation, and now he should be ready to prepare, if he can break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop, his cultivation strength will get a qualitative leap.

When he returns to Dajin at that time, he should also settle accounts with some people.

It will take a long time to break through the foundation building period, and he must find a safe and secluded place, he thinks about it, among the places he has ever visited, the underground passage in the Snake King Valley is the most secluded and safe, and it is a good place for retreat.

Although the valley is full of rich miasma, the depths of the ground are very thin, and with the effect of the obstacle avoidance beads, it will not affect cultivation.

Yuan Ming released three soul crows, thoroughly probed in the Snake King Valley, and after confirming that no one came, he entered the valley, and soon came to the underground passage under the Snake King Cave, waving his hand

Summons the Black Toad.

As soon as the black toad landed, his eyes immediately showed excitement and ran towards the depths of the passage.

Yuan Ming didn't stop it, and let the black toad disappear into the darkness ahead.

He came here to retreat, in addition to the silence here, it was also because the Black Toad's strength had greatly improved after absorbing the strange black qi in the ancient tomb before, and he planned to continue to let the Black Toad absorb it to see how far it could improve.

black

Toad's spirit at the moment seems to be fine, and the previous laziness should be accidental.

Yuan Ming gathered his mind, took out the Quartet Sealing Spirit Talisman and pasted it on the stone walls on all sides, opening a spiritual power barrier to completely isolate the thin miasma.

He sat down cross-legged, took out a Jinhua Dan and took it, and refined it.

Time passed, and more than a month passed quickly. In the underground passage, the blue light on Yuan Ming's body suddenly flourished, and the powerful aura fluctuations rushed in all directions like a tide, and the enchantment formed by the Quartet Sealing Spirit Talisman trembled.

He opened his eyes with a hint of joy on his face.

After some hard cultivation, coupled with the assistance of Jin Hua Dan, the Nine Yuan Jue finally broke through again and reached the thirteenth layer of Qi refining.

Jin Huadan originally had not much left, but now he has completely eaten it, but fortunately, he has succeeded in making a breakthrough in cultivation. Baidu search Soquwu.

The thirteenth layer of qi refining was very different from the previous twelfth layer of qi refining, the mana in the dantian was even thicker, and it had a faint tendency to condense into liquid.

The hallmark of the monks in the foundation building period is the liquefaction of mana, and the cultivation of the Nine Yuan Jue to the thirteenth layer has a great auxiliary effect on the advanced foundation building.

Yuan Ming did not stop, running the Nine Yuan Jue to stabilize the realm.

After three days and three nights, the mana in his dantian was completely stabilized, and his mind was adjusted to the best state.

Yuan Ming took out a Zhuji Dan and took it, and began to refine it.

The Tsukuji Pill was completely different from the pill he had taken before, and it took a long time for it to slowly melt.

After a while, a burning sensation erupted from the lower abdomen, as if a fire had ignited in the lower abdomen.

Yuan Ming had already figured out the use of the Zhuji Pill, and used the Nine Yuan Technique to transfer this fiery medicinal power to the Dantian.

The usage of Tsukidan is very simple, just introduce the medicinal power into the dantian, and the scorching medicinal power will calcine the mana over and over again, like a sledgehammer forging ore until it breaks through.

The process is very long and takes ten and a half months to get results.

Yuan Ming closed his eyes and operated the mana, cooperating with the exertion of the medicinal power of the Zhuji Dan.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Yuan Ming opened his eyes, stopped exercising, and showed a wry smile on his face.

Although the mana was boiling and surging under the effect of the medicinal power of the Zhuji Pill, there was not much tendency to liquefy, and every time it reached the critical threshold of breakthrough, it would be defeated.

He was not surprised by his four spirit roots, and his cultivation during the Qi refining period could rely on the Nine Yuan Jue and a large number of pills obtained from all over the place, but the foundation building was different, and the difficulty increased by more than ten times, not a single foundation building pill could easily cross.

"Looks like we'll need to find some other help." Yuan Ming said secretly.

If he was still a little confident before, after trying it this time, he had a more profound experience, although there are still two Tsukidans, under the premise of not being more than fifty percent sure, it is better not to try it at will, so as not to waste it in vain.

Of course, this impact is not without gain, the mana in his dantian is more thick and viscous, and the next time he breaks through the foundation building period, the chance will still be greater.

Yuan Ming had no intention of staying here for a long time, and he communicated with the black toad in his heart, and was about to leave, but he didn't get the slightest response.

Yuan Ming was puzzled, got up and walked to the depths of the passage, and soon arrived at the ancient tomb in front of him.

and

As before, the demon vine in the black toad's body spread again, the range was larger than before, almost submerging the entire stone room, the purple-black vine flowers were also bigger and much larger than before, and a strange fragrance wafted in the air.

The once dimly lit stone chamber of the tomb is now transformed into a lush garden.

Yuan Ming admired the strange scenery in front of him, and was about to step in, when several nearby vines jumped up like poisonous snakes and made a posture of attacking him.

Yuan Ming's face was abrupt, and he grabbed a vine body like lightning and ran the beast control technique.

Rich black qi rolled out, injecting the vine body along the rattan, pulling the beast control rune.

The demon vines all over the hall danced in pain and quickly retracted.

In a few breaths, except for the one in Yuan Ming's hand, all the demon vines in the hall disappeared, and the figure of the black toad appeared, and its appearance changed greatly.

The black toad's originally fat body became extremely shriveled, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as skinny, with protrusions all over his body, which seem to be meridians at first glance, but Yuan Ming sensed it very clearly, these protrusions are purple and black demon vines.

The purple black demon vine and the black toad originally coexisted in the same body, but now the demon vine actually began to plunder the black toad's vitality!

"Is it because of the absorption of black gas?" Yuan Ming recalled that the demon vine had just dared to attack him, and he felt more and more inappropriate in his heart.

The spirit beasts that have been planted with the beast control rune are not foolproof, and there is also the possibility of getting out of control, and there have been many precedents in the history of Biluo Cave where spirit beasts have rebelled against their masters.

Yuan Ming originally thought that with his powerful divine soul and beast control technique, he would be able to control the demon vine, but now it seems that he has underestimated this demon vine!

However, as a major beast control faction, Biluo Cave naturally has a way to deal with out-of-control spirit beasts.

Yuan Ming held the rattan with one hand and continued to urge the beast control technique, while the other hand cut through the skin of his fingertips and pinched the trick in the air.

A wisp of blood shot out, and as his pinching technique swam in the air, it quickly formed a rune-like blood-colored pattern.

"Boom!"

Yuan Ming let out a loud shout, and the blood-colored rune shone brightly, turning into a blood light that submerged into the demon vine's body and hit its beast soul consciousness.

This rune is called the Blood Spirit Rune, which can not only strengthen the power of the beast control technique, but also severely damage the spirit beast's soul, so that it does not dare to make mistakes.

The consciousness of the purple and black demon vine was hit hard and became languishing, and the vine body held in Yuan Ming's hand hung down like a dead snake.

The black toad also screamed, rolled over and fell, and remained motionless.

Yuan Ming hurriedly squatted down to check the situation of the black toad, and the black toad's consciousness also became very sluggish, and he fell into a deep sleep at the moment.

He is not very proficient in beast control, and in this situation, he doesn't know what to do, so he can only put the black toad into the spirit beast bag first, and then observe the situation.

One afternoon a few days later.

In the window of the restaurant near the main street in Black Rock City, a slightly handsome young man and a sturdy man sat and drank opposite each other.

"Brother Uru, what a coincidence! You said you were coming to Black Rock City in a few days, but you didn't come early or late, but I just stepped into the city with my front foot, and I can meet you with my back foot." The handsome young man said with a smile.

"This is called a meeting of thousands of miles! I also encountered something on the road, but I dealt with it and delayed it. Come, a toast to our fate!" Ulu laughed, raised his glass and touched Yuan Ming, and drank it all.

Yuan Ming naturally had doubts about Ulu's remarks, but his retreat was secretive, and after leaving the customs, this Black Rock City was also temporary, unless the other party was a roundworm in his stomach, it was impossible to know his itinerary.

"Maybe it's really a coincidence, right?" Yuan Ming thought so, and dried the contents of the cup in one gulp.
