Chapter 24: The Lake Demon
In March, the spring flowers are blooming, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere, filled with the breath of spring.
However, it is still the same in the Immortal Sect, and the disciples are busy doing tasks, earning resources, and cultivating...
Occasionally, there will be disciples who want to relax and walk around.
this day.
There were a few scattered outer disciples near Mirror Lake.
There were three of them, all young men of about twenty.
"Alas, I failed this retreat again, my cultivation has been stuck in the sixth layer of qi refining for more than a year, and I don't know when I will be able to break through to the seventh layer of qi refining..."A thin young man sighed and complained to the other two.
"Cultivation matters, you can't rush it, the opportunity for a breakthrough has arrived, and cultivation will naturally lead to a breakthrough."
A short and fat young man comforted him with words, and then said, "I recently heard that the sect has discovered an ancient ruin, and sent a lot of elders from the Dan stage, even the elders of the Yuan Infant stage, and several of them have been dispatched!" ”
"Oh? An ancient ruin, why did the sect send so many elders? After the skinny young man was comforted, he was obviously also interested in the words of the short and fat young man.
"Hey! What can it be, several other sects have also discovered it! ”
The short and fat young man obviously said with some indignation: "That ruin is said to be within the jurisdiction of our sect, but when the ruins were born, the vision was too conspicuous.
Let the Guling Sect closest to our sect also find out, and then the guys from the Guling Sect spread it everywhere, so that several other major sects also knew about it.
The Ancient Spirit Sect clearly wanted to muddy the waters, so that they could fish in troubled waters and get enough benefits from it, so the sect had no choice but to send so many elders to confront them.
Otherwise, that ancient ruin, but we are too Xuanmen to monopolize it! ”
"Huh? When did it fog up? ”
Just as the short and fat young man was talking indignantly, the young man who had not spoken suddenly snorted, attracting the attention of the two.
At this time, the short and fat young man and the thin young man also noticed the fog that was gradually pouring out of the surroundings.
"Harm! Isn't it just foggy, what's all the fuss, could it be that there are ghosts! Even if there is a ghost, as a monk, I can beat it to the ground with a single move! ”
The short and fat young man looked unconcerned, and continued to talk about the ancient ruins.
"In addition to the Ancient Spirit Sect, the participating sects this time also include the Divine Sword Sect, the Zoroastrian Sect, and the Ziyang Mountain..."
Just as they were distracting and talking, suddenly they gradually felt that something was wrong.
"Have we been to this place before?"
The three of them walked here, feeling a little familiar, but a little uncertain, and they all stopped and began to look around carefully.
The stocky young man released his consciousness and began to investigate his surroundings.
After a while, he retracted his senses, and his face became solemn, "We're really back where we are!" ”
"And that's not all."
The young man, who had not spoken much, said solemnly and solemnly: "We have been circling here since we first came here, and this is the third time we have returned to the same place!" ”
Then he pointed to a tree and said, "Look, here is the mark I made the second time I passed by!" ”
The short and fat young man and the thin young man looked in the direction of his finger and saw that there were several clear scratches on a tree there.
Seeing this, their faces changed.
"Is it really a ghost?" The skinny youth's eyes widened.
Among the three, his cultivation was the lowest, and the other two had reached the seventh level of qi refining.
"Humph!" The short and fat young man let out a cold snort, "I want to see what kind of ghost thing dares to be presumptuous in our Taixuanmen!" ”
With that, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, and in a flash of inspiration, a flying sword hovered beside him.
Seeing this, the other two also summoned their respective flying swords from their storage bags.
For a moment, three flying swords with flickering cold light were suspended, exuding a sense of slaughter.
Boom ——!
Just when the three of them were about to kill the "ghosts" with their faces full of solemnity.
A loud bang rang out, causing them to stagnate.
"What a move!"
The three of them looked in unison in the direction from which the sound had come.
"Go see?"
They looked at each other and nodded, and the spiritual power was gathered and rushed in the direction where the loud noise came from.
By the mirror lake, Xu Yuxiu is practicing a newly learned spell.
After the Lost Array was completely arranged, she went out once, went to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to exchange for two new spells, and began to practice.
The Agni Flame Decisive and the Xuanshui Transformation cost her a total of more than fifty spirit stones.
The more than 100 spirit stones that she originally obtained from Yu Chengdao's storage bag, plus her original spirit stones, almost half of them were spent on the Spirit Gathering Array to assist her in her cultivation, and there were only more than 50 left.
This time, the spirit stone on her body bottomed out.
However, I have to say that the power of these two spells is simply a qualitative change in power compared to the basic spells.
This made Xu Yuxiu feel that these more than fifty spirit stone flowers were the true value.
At this time, what she was practicing was the Xuanshui Transformation.
After more than a month of cultivation, she has successfully mastered the technique of Xuanshui Transformation.
She was now using the technique of compression spells, wanting to see what kind of power the Xuanshui Transformation could burst out after compressing to the extreme.
With the help of the water of the Mirror Lake, the Xuanshui Transformation can exert its greatest power.
Xu Yuxiu gathered the spiritual power in the dantian and mobilized the water in the mirror lake.
Under the guidance of her spiritual power, the calm surface of the mirror lake swelled up, and a stream of water slowly rose.
At first, it was small, but as Xu Yuxiu continued to inject spiritual power to guide it, the thin stream gradually became thicker and larger, until it became a column of water.
The water column continued to rise, getting bigger and bigger, and there was already a faint sense of oppression.
until it reaches a height of ten zhang in the air.
The entire column of water was already like a stout and huge giant python out of the water, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Xu Yuxiu stood in front of the giant python that had turned into the water of the lake at this time, looking extremely small.
Her little face became extremely serious, and fine sweat was already oozing from her forehead.
Maintaining such a huge anaconda consumed her spiritual power very hugely, and her hands trembled, and she almost couldn't maintain it several times.
She gritted her silver teeth and began to compress the giant anaconda.
Xu Yuxiu once again strengthened the output of spiritual power, and the size of the giant anaconda began to be compressed and reduced.
It wasn't until the giant python, which was finally ten zhang in size, was compressed to three zhang in size, that it stopped.
Although the size of the python has become smaller, the sense of oppression from it is even stronger.
Xu Yuxiu's forehead was already wet with sweat, and her hands were trembling, almost unable to hold on.
"Go!"
Eventually, with her coquettish shout, the anaconda rose into the air and rushed down towards the lake below.
At this time, the three short and fat young men also rushed to the edge of the mirror lake.
Xu Yuxiu noticed the person for the first time, frowned, and the magic trick in his hand changed, and a large amount of dense fog instantly emerged, which would envelop the entire Mirror Lake.
"What's going on!"
The sudden emergence of a thick fog made the faces of the three of them panic.
Before the three of them could react.
A terrifying force erupted from the Mirror Lake.
The powerful impact, wrapped in coercion, slammed into the face of the three of them.
Faintly, they only saw a huge black shadow in the thick fog.
Instantly, they were swept away by the powerful impact.
Bang bang bang!
The three of them were swept away by the impact, and rolled on the ground several times in a row before stopping.
"Ahem! It hurts me! ”
The three of them coughed and screamed in pain, and got up from the ground in a slump of confusion.
"What was that?"
"I didn't see clearly, I only saw a huge black shadow in the lake!"
"Damn! There won't be a powerful lake demon here! ”
Hiss!
When the three of them thought of this, they all gasped.
"Then why are you staying here, run!"
