In the secret room,

Li Xiao successfully broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

"Sure enough, every breakthrough has some messy disasters, but fortunately, I was prepared and had a deep foundation, so I broke through smoothly ......"

At the time of breakthrough, what we pay attention to is to make a big deal and then decline and exhaustion.

This is especially true when there is a breakthrough in the Great Realm.

If it is the critical moment when the Qi refining period breaks through the foundation building period, and suddenly cuts off the supply of spiritual energy, this is indeed very fatal.

Even if you react and want to make up for it with spirit stones, I'm afraid it's too late.

Fortunately, Li Xiao is in the late stage of the breakthrough in the middle of foundation building.

I took precautions early, and after reacting, I immediately made up for it with a large number of spirit stones, and then I broke through smoothly.

However, this catastrophe is actually his own contribution.

If he hadn't used Liu Ming's identity to swagger through the market, he would naturally not have such a thing.

Of course, at the time of the breakthrough, in addition to the Heavenly Tribulation Heart Demon,

There will also be some messy accidents.

So even if he didn't use Liu Ming's identity to attract the Wang family.

There is a high probability that there will be other disasters as well.

"The Wang family also has some means, and they actually directly cut off the spiritual energy supply of the Spirit Gathering Array......"

He had already guessed that it was the Wang family's ghost,

But what I didn't expect was that the other party would be able to directly use his hands and feet on the cave.

Originally, he expected that even if the Wang family was looking for trouble,

Maybe it's also waiting for him to get out of the customs and carry out an ambush or something.

After all, directly attacking the secret room is tantamount to provoking the Qianshan faction.

And now, it is the secret room formation that has gone wrong.

Li Xiao pondered, "How did the Wang family do it, could it be that they bribed the Thousand Mountains Sect monk who was in charge of the cave mansion?" ”

He thought for a moment before he thought of the key point.

The main thing is to lease the cave house, which is a pillar industry of the Qianshan school.

The Wang family is just a foundation-building family,

It is impossible for the Qianshan faction to smash their own signboard for the Wang family.

And if the Qianshan Sect wants to deal with him, it will be done directly, where is there such a trouble.

Then it could only be that the Wang family quietly bought someone in the Qianshan faction.

Let it interfere with the normal use of the Spirit Gathering Array in the Chamber of Secrets at critical moments.

In this way, the difficulty and movement will not be too much.

And even if it happens, there are many excuses,

For example, the formation suddenly broke down or something.

Li Xiao himself is a formation mage, and he can find a lot of this kind of excuse by himself.

"I appeared as Liu Ming at the beginning, didn't I just want to lure the Wang family out, and now they have sent all the excuses, but don't blame me for avenging the Mixed Yuan Gate as the young master of the Mixed Yuan Gate after I got out......

"And the person who was bought by the Thousand Mountains Sect can't let go, as for the Thousand Mountains Faction, since I have leased the Cave Mansion, I must also let them compensate me for my losses......"

"But don't worry, the accounts are counted one by one, and the revenge is repaid one by one......"

He is not in a hurry to get out of the customs, and the rented secret room has another month to expire.

This month is enough for him to do a lot.

Outside the backroom,

Liao Changxue, the steward on duty, inspected in front of a secret room.

He stopped and looked at it carefully for a while, then smiled with satisfaction and said secretly,

"There's no movement in it at all, so it seems that the foundation building has failed, so my mission will be completed......

He is the little steward who was bought by the Wang family.

There is a chief steward in the rental area, who is a Zhuji elder sent by Qianshan.

And there are more than a dozen of the little stewards below.

Liao Changxue is just one of the inconspicuous little stewards,

Each steward takes turns on duty to manage the rental area.

After the Wang family found him, they put forward the idea of asking him to help with the secret room formation.

He originally sternly refused,

Just kidding, if there is a problem with the rental secret room, then he will definitely be severely punished by the sect.

Until the Wang family opened a high price of 3,000 spirit stones.

It was a huge sum of money that he simply couldn't refuse.

Liao Changxue is over 120 years old this year, and his longevity is not much.

His cultivation at this time was only in the late stage of Qi refining, and there was no hope for building a foundation.

But among the children in the family, there is a daughter with good qualifications.

Before the age of sixty, he reached the late stage of qi refining, and he had the hope of building a foundation.

But it's hard to find a pill in Tsukidan,

Now it has been fried to four or five thousand spirit stones.

With his net worth, he simply can't afford it.

If you have these 3,000 spirit stones, plus your family's savings, you can also find a way to buy a Tsukidan for your daughter to fight.

As long as the daughter succeeds in building the foundation,

Then their Liao family will also be able to promote the Zhuji family, and their status in the Qianshan faction will naturally rise.

So Liao Changxue agreed to take over this risky task.

He is cautious, and after taking over the task, he plans carefully.

First, he changed the guard with his colleagues, and fixed the patrol management area around the secret room where the mission objective was located.

And then under the pretext of wanting to earn more contributions and spirit stones,

Having given up all his rest time, he was stationed here around the clock, observing the movements of the secret room.

When there was a large-scale aura absorption phenomenon in that secret room, it was the time for him to do it.

Three thousand spirit stones, it's not so easy to take,

Naturally, he has to take it seriously in order to be foolproof.

Otherwise, if you miss, let's not say that the Wang family is not easy to explain,

Even if the retreat is not interrupted to build the foundation,

If he really succeeds in building his foundation, he may not be able to eat and walk around.

So for two months, I have been keeping an eye on it, for fear of missing the best time to do it.

And then he really waited for it.

On this day, the aura of the secret room fluctuated extremely strongly,

Liao Changxue knew that the opportunity had come.

He immediately moved his hands and feet on the formation, cutting off the spiritual energy supply in the secret room.

Not only that, just in case,

He even used the authority of the formation to turn off the isolation array.

In this way, external interference will be transmitted into the secret room,

Let the monks in retreat shake their hearts,

In this case, if the foundation can still be successfully built, then the one in it is definitely a peerless genius.

But he knew that it was just a lost dog that was hunted down by the Wang family before.

So, his mission is definitely done.

To be on the safe side, he observed for a few more days,

Seeing that there was indeed no movement inside, I was completely relieved.

So Liao Changxue told the news to the Wang family.

The Wang family was also very satisfied, and directly settled the balance of the three thousand spirit stones that had been agreed upon to him.

They all thought that they had let Liu Ming fail and die.

But I don't know that there is no movement in the secret room,

is because Li Xiao is using Dao Yun in the past few days to enter the state of enlightenment and consolidate his cultivation.

At the same time, he is also cultivating the soul splitting technique and alchemy that he has already obtained.

Seven days later,

Li Xiao withdrew from the state of enlightenment.

After a few days of enlightenment, his cultivation realm has been completely consolidated.

Monks usually advance too quickly, their foundation is unstable, and they go mad because their perception and mind cannot keep up with their cultivation.

And even if Li Xiao enters the Jin Dynasty faster, he doesn't have this problem.

It is because we can enter the state of enlightenment and improve our perception and mind.

The real world seems to have only seven days,

But his thoughts have been comprehended in the Dao Palace for seven years, and he has thoroughly comprehended the secret techniques of the exercises in the current realm.

At this time, he was not only completely stable in the later stage of foundation building,

even practiced alchemy to the second order,

And the soul splitting technique has also been practiced.

Li Xiao opened his eyes and recited the secret method.

A little spiritual light was divided from his heavenly spirit,

This is a bit of divine soul that is differentiated after the soul technique is practiced.

After the divine soul was divided, Li Xiao felt as if he had been split out of something.

It's an amazing feeling.

However, because there are very few differentiated spirits, it will not cause any discomfort.

Li Xiao looked at the divided souls, "The soul splitting technique that Qian Rong and Ding Kun collected is only at the entry stage, and the soul they differentiated can only be used on magic weapons such as soul lamps, if you want to be like the legendary soul ancestor of the soul sect, the soul is immortal, and the true god is immortal, I am afraid that there must be a complete secret method inheritance......"

The soul splitting technique is extremely difficult to practice, mainly after the soul is divided, if it is lost, it will be difficult to make up for it.

can make up for the lack of souls, which are very precious treasures.

Even if it is a Jindan sect like the Black Soul Sect, it is difficult to get it.

This made the soul splitting technique gradually disappear, and no one was willing to cultivate.

At most, practice a beginner, and then divide a little soul to use on the soul lamp.

And Li Xiao's differentiation of the divine soul is intended to be used to bind the strange and make it a companion spirit.

He thought for a moment and called the clown out of the Soul Eater.

The clown had already been refined into a ghost slave by him, and when he appeared, he cried bitterly, "My lord, why do you only think of me now......"

Li Xiao said, "What's the howl, it's not bad if I didn't refine you, now I'll give you a chance to try to bind this divine soul and become my companion spirit......"

The clown rejoiced, "Really? Have you finally figured me in and will take me as a companion? ”

Li Xiao didn't explain, he just wanted him to bind him to a little bit of soul distraction,

In this case, even if you give up your soul, it won't cause much damage to yourself.

The clown hurriedly began to bind, for fear that the other party would change his mind.

Because compared to ghost slaves, the treatment of companion spirits is much better.

The relationship between the companion spirit and the demon envoy is not a master-servant relationship, but almost equal.

Both sides can be described as both prosperous and lossless.

Becoming the companion of this boss makes a big difference.

A mysterious glimmer lit up on the clown and the little bit of the soul.

The two sides begin to resonate, and then bind.

But the next moment, the split soul snapped and shattered.

The clown shuddered, apparently affected as well.

He first looked dazed, and then had a constipated expression, "This, my lord, you can't stand me?" ”

Li Xiao raised his hand and gave it to him, "Lao Tzu bears your sister's ......"

He touched his chin, "It seems that a wisp of split soul is indeed too weak, so let's divide it more......"

After a wisp of distraction just now,

Although he felt it, he didn't feel it badly.

The main reason is that after his Heavenly Dao foundation was built, his divine soul was much stronger than that of ordinary monks.

If an ordinary monk loses a wisp of spirit, although he will not be injured, he will definitely be uncomfortable for a while.

And he was like nobody.

In order to experiment, he began to activate the soul splitting secret technique again,

This time, he had differentiated at least ten times more divine souls than just now.

And this is also the biggest divine soul that Li Xiao can divide at present.

If you want to differentiate more divine souls, or even let the divine souls possess you like an incarnation outside the body, I am afraid that you not only need to reach the realm of Yuan Ying or even the god realm, but also need a complete soul splitting secret technique.

Looking at the soybean-sized split soul, Li Xiao said, "Try to bind this split soul again, if you still fail, you will be a ghost slave for the rest of your life......

The clown nodded hurriedly, promising to succeed.

He really didn't want to be a ghost slave anymore.

Mainly in these few battles, after these ghost slaves were released, most of them became cannon fodder,

Fortunately, he was smarter than other ghost slaves, so he survived.

But as ghost slave cannon fodder, who knows if he will be able to come back alive next time.

But as a companion spirit is different,

At the very least, the Demon Protector won't let his companions take the risk easily.

So he began to work hard to bind to that little bit of soul.

This time, the results were all happy.

The clown laughed, "It's done, I'm a companion now, not a ghost slave!" ”

Li Xiao also sensed the change.

It was a strange feeling, and he could clearly sense the presence of the clown.

When it was bound to the Split Soul, it was like an organ that he had extended out.

However, since he has already obtained the Joker's ability 'Food of Fear', he doesn't feel much about sharing abilities.

Li Xiao thought about it for a while, and released a resentful soul from the Soul Devouring Banner.

After the resentful spirit was released, he held it in his hand.

When the resentful soul is pinched and is about to be broken,

A strange light suddenly shot out of Li Xiao's eyes.

The resentment was shot and dissipated with a bang.

The clown didn't know why, and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?" ”

After becoming a companion spirit, he considered himself to have risen in status, and his name changed.

However, he was still relatively sober, and followed the green poison to call the boss.

Li Xiao said, "Did you feel a little bit of your vitality just now?" ”

The Joker nodded, "Seems to be ......"

Li Xiao showed a meaningful smile.

"Hehe, it seems that the ability of the Eye of the Death Curse can indeed be upgraded......"

Ever since he killed Ding Kun with the Eye of the Death Curse and consumed sixty years of life force, he has been haunted by it.

The ability of the Eye of the Cursed is indeed a nirvana hole card.

But it's a card that kills 1,000 enemies and loses 1,000 to itself.

If the ability star level can't keep up, it will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 2,000, which is the case when it is used on Ding Kun.

At that time, Li Xiao was thinking about how to improve the practicality of this ability.

First of all, it is natural to improve the ability of the star rating.

That's why he's so obsessed with farming ability fragments.

Then it's about improving your own vitality.

But where is the vitality so easy to improve.

Most monks are unable to break through the realm because they are past their peak and their vitality is insufficient.

Then we can only think about reducing the price to pay.

Then it occurred to him that the companion spirits seemed to be able to share the damage of the demon envoy.

When the companion spirit is injured, so will the Demon Resistant.

It's just that if the demon makes the life force stronger than the companion spirit,

When the companion spirit dies, the Demon Envoy may only be seriously injured.

This is the case of Zhang Xian, whom Li Xiao met on the horror campus.

The companion spirit that Zhang Xian obtained at that time was just an ordinary resentful soul, and his vitality was not as strong as that of normal people.

So when the companion spirit died, he was only injured.

Therefore, Li Xiao speculated that after using the Eye of the Death Curse, or being hit by a similar curse,

Companion beings should also be able to share in the life force consumed.

And now, after testing, his conjecture has finally been confirmed.

The clown didn't know that it had become a consumable for Li Xiao to cast spells, and he was still following Silly Le.

Li Xiao said, "Okay, you can go back......

As he spoke, he was about to take the clown back into the Eater of Souls.

The clown hurriedly said, "Boss, I'm your companion, let me live in your body......"

Li Xiao said disgustedly, "Live in my body? It's beautiful, I'll call you if there's something, go back......"

With that, he took the clown back into the Soul Eater Banner.

Then he took the soul back into his body and placed it in the sea of knowledge.

"My current soul splitter is still too weak, so I can only withstand the weirdness of the first-order grade like a clown, and if I want to withstand a higher level of weirdness and accept it as a companion soul, I must strengthen my soul split...... In the high-level soul splitting secret technique, there should be a secret method to enhance the soul splitting, otherwise, how could the legendary soul sect ancestor be able to divide countless souls......"

The soul splitting technique he cultivated at this time could only divide into soybean-sized souls at most.

This is also the reason why his divine soul is much stronger than that of ordinary monks.

And the number of times it can be differentiated is only once.

However, even if he could divide more, Li Xiao would not create a large number of split souls now.

Because if you divide too many souls, it will make the main soul weaker.

This will directly affect your strength and cultivation.

So at the moment it is enough to bind a clown,

When you find a high-level soul splitting technique, and then bind the high-level weird, this is the right way.

However, to Li Xiao's surprise, the strange vitality was actually less than he imagined.

In his senses, the first-order boss like the clown has a vitality of almost sixty years, which is less than that of ordinary people.

Based on this, even if it is a high star, I am afraid that there will not be much vitality.

In fact, this is a normal phenomenon.

Because the ability of the Cursed Eye was originally used by players to deal with weirdness.

If the weird are all vigorous and long-lived, then what is the use of this ability?

In fact, this ability was originally intended for the use of the Oni.

After the Demon Envoy shares the life force of the companion spirit, it is the most correct way to use the Cursed Eye.

"Although the vitality of the companion spirits is lower than expected, it is possible to share some of them, and when the time comes, you can send those old monsters with weakened vitality away...... The next step is to upgrade the Eye of the Curse......"

With a thought, he used the two shards of his abilities on the Eye of the Curse.

When I opened the panel again, the Cursed Eye had become a two-star ability.

In this way, using the Eye of the Death Curse against the monks in the Foundation Building Period will no longer need to consume double the life force.

In the future, he will also prepare to upgrade this ability with his main force.

As long as this ability can keep up with his cultivation realm,

Then he can be truly invincible at the same level.

After upgrading his abilities, Li Xiao thought of a useful prop.

As soon as his mind moved, there was an extra crystal in his hand.

Tears of the Female Ghost: A one-star item that increases the upper limit of mental power after taking it.

Spiritual power, in fact, is the power of the soul,

In other words, if you eat this thing, you can increase the strength of your divine soul.

Li Xiao hadn't taken it before, because he felt that the one-star props had not improved much of his own foundation building realm.

So I want to sell it as a treasure.

The main reason was that he was too poor at that time to even afford a decent spiritual weapon.

Now it seems that fortunately, it was not sold in the first place.

This kind of item that can directly increase the upper limit of strength,

In the world of cultivating immortals, they are all good things at the level of heaven and earth treasures, and they are almost impossible to find.

No matter how little you improve, it will help the monks.

And Li Xiao divided into split souls, and after the divine soul weakened, this kind of thing became even more precious.

He also talked nonsense, and directly took the tears of the female ghost.

A cool feeling overlayed the soul.

Then he felt that his spirit had really become stronger.

Li Xiao sensed it, "I almost restored about half of the weakened divine soul......"

In other words, if he can find another one of these items, his weakened Divine Soul will be able to completely return to its pre-component state.

"Pay more attention to this kind of item in the future, and when the trading market opens, you can consider buying and exchanging ...... from other players."

If there were a large number of such props, he felt that there were countless souls, and it was not impossible to do it.

At this time, there are still about twenty days before his lease expires.

Li Xiao was not ready to waste, and sacrificed the soul refining furnace,

began to refine the treacherous aunt caught on the bus.

Although this aunt is also a two-star boss,

But compared to the terrifying scarecrow and Sun Shouyi, it is much worse.

According to the realm of monks,

The aunt will build six or seven layers of foundation at most, and the terrifying scarecrow and Sun Shouyi will build at least nine layers of foundation.

Especially Sun Shouyi, who is only one step away from three stars, is already equivalent to a monk who builds the foundation of the Great Perfection.

Sun Shouyi is a little special, and Li Xiao is ready to stay and study it carefully.

So let's refine the aunt's trick first.

Twenty days later, the aunt was completely refined.

Li Xiao's cultivation was upgraded to the eighth floor of the foundation.

The blessing of the Heavenly Dao Master Daoyun was not less, but he still gave ten copies.

Although Li Xiao complained that the old man of Heaven was stingy,

But I have to admit that he will not deduct his salary.

What should be given is given on time and in quantity, and what is important is to pay more for more work.

Li Xiao stretched,

"The three-month lease period is almost up, and it's really time to get out of customs......"

Thousand Hills Castle, Dongfu Rental Office.

Xin Qin and Xin Rong are here again.

They've been here several times in this time.

I just wanted to inquire about the master's retreat.

Foundation retreats, usually two or three months,

The duration of the retreat varies from monk to monk, and it doesn't have to be a full three months.

However, if you have not been out of customs for more than three months,

The chances of success in building the foundation are slim.

They have been here many times, but they haven't seen the master go out of the customs in advance,

As the three-month deadline drew closer, the hearts of the two grew heavier and heavier.

Today is the three-month deadline.

If the master is not out of the customs, there is a high probability that the foundation has failed.

More than once in this time, they had seen some malevolent monks staring at them.

That is, the two of them have been hiding in the inner city, so there is no accident.

But the savings in the hands of the two have been spent, and if they don't renew the lease of the cave, they will be driven out of the inner city.

When the time comes, the two dare not imagine.

At this time, a somewhat blessed monk walked over, and the yin and yang strange qi said,

"You two again? I told you a long time ago that I didn't need it, and the foundation building in the secret room No. 89 of the second class must have failed, and you still don't believe it......"

The person who spoke was Liao Changxue, the small steward of the leasing office.

Xin Qin said with a gloomy expression, "Senior, please let us wait until tomorrow morning, if the master doesn't come out yet, we won't come in the future......"

Liao Changxue said, "It's really okay not to cry if you don't see the coffin, it's okay, wait until tomorrow morning, the lease period will come, and if the people inside don't come out, we will also open the cave directly, and let you see it with your own eyes when the time comes, so it's good to die......

It was fast to the next morning.

But the cave house that can be closed still has no movement.

Xin Qin and Xin Rong were full of despair.

Liao Changxue smiled proudly, "See? Damn for now, right? It's not so easy to build a foundation. A lost dog who also wants to build a foundation for success? What the hell did you think at the time to get involved with this kind of person......"

Originally, because he couldn't build a foundation, he was envious and jealous of these monks who dared to fight.

Now seeing that this monk who was manipulated by himself really failed to build the foundation, how can he be unhappy.

Because this means that the three thousand spirit stones can be taken by themselves with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about accidents.

So triumphant, unobtrusive,

I don't know that he has not finished speaking,

There was a click, and the door to the chamber opened from the inside.

A figure appeared in front of several people.
