-------------------------------------

At this moment, a golden cloud several zhang in size suddenly flew out of the dense forest behind the village like a stroke, and in an instant, it wrapped the first-order Great Perfection demon beast.

It was only a few breaths, and when the golden clouds dispersed, only a pile of white dry bones remained on the ground, leaving the villagers present stunned.

The rest of the first-order high-level demon beasts saw that their leader was devoured in an instant, and immediately turned around and fled, but before they could escape to the seaside, they were caught up by the golden cloud one by one, following in the footsteps of their own leader.

Since then, the villagers on Qinghu Island have realized that the immortal master on the mountain has not forgotten them, but has sent some spirit insects to guard their town at all times.

Since then, the mortals in the town have also begun to live a peaceful life, and the mortals on some of the surrounding islands have also begun to find ways to move to Qinghu Island, and the entire town has doubled in size over the decades.

Han Changlin naturally didn't know about this, and he didn't care about it, he hid in the cave all day long, cultivating secret arts, alchemy and refining tools, and of course, more importantly, cultivation.

The process was boring, but fulfilling, and in the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.

In the past thirty years, in addition to practicing and cultivating spells outside, Jiang Yingxue will also come back every two or three years to ask Han Changlin about various problems encountered in cultivation, of course, she will also share all kinds of strange formations that often appear in her mind with Han Changlin, so as to ask Han Changlin for the truth.

Jiang Yingxue didn't know that the so-called truths she asked her master for advice were also extremely precious to Han Changlin, and they often made him pause, with a kind of awe-inspiring world, and the pleasure of seeing all the mountains at a glance.

Han Changlin's way of formation also began to advance by leaps and bounds, and the formations in the forbidden yuan formation path were also seventy-seven, eighty-eight and eight that he had comprehended, and within a radius of several miles of the entire Qinghu Island's own cultivation cave, layers of formations were arranged, no less than a dozen formations, three of these formations were still middle-level and high-grade magic formations, and the formations were all buried deep in the spiritual veins under the cave by Han Changlin.

Not to mention the Jindan Monk, even if the Yuanying Monk came to attack, I am afraid that it would not be possible to break through the defense of these formations without three or five months.

Of course, for Han Changlin, the most important thing was to cultivate the Soul Hidden Technique and refine the two natal magic weapons.

In the first few years of the retreat, Han Changlin often went in and out of the Thunder Stone Immortal City, and exchanged all the materials he couldn't use for spirit stones, so that the spirit stones on his body suddenly reached as many as two million.

This is still the remaining spirit stone after he purchased and refined the two natal magic weapons, and in order to refine the "Purple Thunder Star Swirl Shield" set of middle-level magic weapons, Han Changlin would appear on time on the top of Qinghu Mountain every day before dawn, close his eyes and exhale qi, and with the help of secret techniques, he collected a cloud of purple qi that appeared in the sky when the sun first rose.

This process lasted for a full twenty-eight years at the beginning, and during these twenty-eight years, Han Changlin never stopped collecting purple qi, and it was precisely because of such perseverance and persistence that he finally collected enough amounts.

In the cultivation room, more than a dozen dark green spiritual lights flew up and down, and between these spiritual lights, although the aura was compelling, it did not affect the surroundings in the slightest.

Han Changlin looked at the twelve Qingyan Swords in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face, these twelve Qingyan Swords, after decades of cultivation by him, especially the nine swords that were refined at the beginning, had reached the point of introverted aura, although they had not yet advanced to the middle level, but among the primary magic weapons, they were definitely top-notch.

Moreover, once the Qingyan Sword fused with Yan Ice stimulates the Extreme Yang True Fire, it will definitely not be inferior to those ordinary mid-level magic weapons in terms of power.

Opening his mouth slightly, the twelve Qingyan swords, like swimming fish, shot into his mouth one after another and disappeared without a trace.

Han Changlin's mouth was not closed, and after the twelve Qingyan swords disappeared, several thunder lights flashed in Han Changlin's mouth, and nine small shields emitting a faint purple and green aura appeared in front of Han Changlin.

On each small shield, there are small lightning flashes, almost the entire shield is covered, this "Purple Thunder Star Swirl Shield" is round, thin as cicada wings, transparent as ice, and its edge, but like a blade, extremely sharp, between the slight rotation, it flashes like a starlight spiritual rhyme, and at the same time, the thunder light is also thrown out.

And these "Purple Thunder Star Swirl Shields" also followed Han Changlin's thoughts, and they actually flew away in all directions along the thunder light, and the speed was extremely fast, and the speed of Han Changlin's magic thunder light technique was not far behind.

This made Han Changlin pleasantly surprised, the speed of the defensive magic weapon is very critical, after all, if the enemy's magic weapon is coming, the defensive magic weapon is still flying slowly, and if you want to resist the magic weapon, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and it will be too unjust.

Therefore, defensive magic weapons are usually a little faster than offensive magic weapons, of course, for immortal cultivators, most defensive magic weapons will not be too far away from the body, and it is also to guard against this.

Han Changlin's nine-sided "Purple Thunder Star Swirl Shield" can be described as both offensive and defensive, close to defensive, far can attack, and also has thunder and lightning attributes and cold attributes, if Han Changlin passes the Extreme Yang True Fire Sacrifice in the future, the power will be much stronger.

After putting away the "Purple Thunder Star Swirl Shield", Han Changlin pondered for a while, then gently patted the beast ring on his waist, and a golden cloud flew out of it, and as soon as this golden cloud came out, it exuded powerful demonic power, which made Han Changlin, who had already prepared, also amazed.

There were seven or eight hundred of these Spirit Devouring Insects in front of Han Changlin, of which more than two hundred had already reached the second-order level, and the remaining five or six hundred were already at the second-order intermediate level.

In the past few decades, Han Changlin was surprised to find that the immortal mansion in the painting could really cultivate the demon grass, and after trying to feed the spirit devouring insects with this demon grass, Han Changlin was surprised to find that these spirit devouring insects didn't even look at the Five Elements Spirit Grass, but pounced towards the demon grass one after another.

After devouring the demon grass, the red demon grass planted by Han Changlin was devoured cleanly, and after devouring the demon grass, the spirit devouring insects found a place one after another, and in Han Changlin's surprised gaze, they actually fell asleep.

Han Changlin naturally didn't feed all of his Soul Devouring Worms to the Demon Herb, firstly, there were not many Demon Worms he cultivated, and secondly, he didn't know if this Demon Herb was effective against the Soul Devouring Worms, and if there were any side effects.

Yes, Han Changlin still had an experimental attitude, and chose a part of the second-order and first-level spirit devouring insects, and fed the red and cyan demon grass respectively to see if there would be any changes.

The result was undoubtedly very satisfying to Han Changlin, the effect of devouring the demon grass was indeed better than that of devouring ordinary spirit grass, after devouring the demon grass, within a few days, the hundreds of first-order spirit devouring insects used for the test began to enter a state of silence.

After a few more days, those second-order primary spirit devouring insects also cocooned their whole bodies and began the process of transformation, which really made Han Changlin extremely excited.

Three years later, more than ninety percent of the Spirit Devouring Insects that were used by Han Changlin for experiments had completed their advancement.

This result made Han Changlin quite satisfied, by feeding the Demon Herb, the time for the Spirit Devouring Worm to advance was shortened by several times, and he wanted to start using the Five Elements Spirit Grass to cultivate the Spirit Devouring Worm, from the first order to the second order, it took almost twenty years, in comparison, the effect of this Demon Grass was much better.

However, this demon grass is not propagated through seeds, it can only grow near the nests of some demon beasts, for example, near the nests of some second-order demon beasts, it is easy to find cyan demon grass.

These demon grasses, the second-order demon beasts do not eat them, only when they advance to the red demon grass, the second-order demon beasts can't wait to devour them, in order to increase their cultivation and the probability of advancement.

It is still easy to buy the cyan demon grass on the market, but the number of red demon grass is much smaller, after all, this kind of demon grass will only grow near the lair of the emperor-level demon beast.

As for the purple and black demon grasses, they are extremely rare on the market, and even if they appear, they are usually taken away immediately and used to attract demon beasts into the pre-arranged traps.

However, for Han Changlin, these are not problems, as long as there is cyan demon grass, it is just this time, as long as he goes to Thunder Stone Immortal City, he will basically buy out those cyan demon grasses on the market.

After thirty years of cultivation, Han Changlin's cultivation has now reached the peak of the middle stage of Jindan, and he can start trying to break through the realm.

And a few years ago, Han Changlin refined the four Soul Threading Herbs he obtained into a furnace of Soul Condensing Pills, a total of six pills, and for Han Changlin to break through the realm, he only needed to take one pill.

It was because those Soul Grass seedlings were all planted by Han Changlin in the Immortal Mansion in the painting, and not all of them were refined into finished Soul Condensing Pills.

As for the "Spirit Fetus Dividing Infant Dafa" Han Changlin has also understood the eight or nine inseparable ten, after careful consideration, Han Changlin decided to start cultivating after he broke through into the late stage of Jindan.

Jiang Yingxue has been out to practice for several years, and there is no news, but Han Changlin is not worried about her, she left a Yuan Shen Lamp here with Han Changlin and placed it in Han Changlin's alchemy room, and now the Yuan Shen Lamp is not abnormal, which also shows that Jiang Yingxue herself is safe and sound.

After exuding his spiritual sense and searching the entire Qinghu Island, Han Changlin didn't find anything unusual, and after thinking about it for a while, he released the second-order spirit devouring insects in the beast ring and let them guard outside the cave.

In this way, his cave house can be said to be impregnable, and he should be able to ensure safety when he breaks through the retreat.

Thinking of this, Han Changlin took out a pill of elixir, took it, and began to run the mantra of the "Flame Separation True Mystery Formula", closing his eyes and cultivating.

A few days later, Han Changlin opened his eyes, took out a Soul Condensing Pill and took it, and closed his eyes again.

The door of the cave where Han Changlin cultivated was closed, during this period, Jiang Yingxue also came back once, and the first thing was naturally to come to see her master, and after seeing that the door of the master's cave was closed, she chose to leave quietly.

This kind of thing, in the past twenty years, she has also become accustomed to it, and now Jiang Yingxue has advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, and it is not far from the late stage of foundation building, and after returning to the cave mansion and cultivating for a period of time, she left Qinghu Island again and went out to practice.

The clouds and mist of Qinghu Mountain are still surrounding, without the slightest sign of dispersing, and time is also passing quickly in this calm, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the white clouds on Qinghu Mountain suddenly dispersed, which shocked the residents of Qinghu Island, and thought that something had happened.

And out of nowhere, a gust of wind blew on the island, but fortunately the wind did not cause any casualties to the island's residents.

After three days of strong winds, the gusts of wind suddenly disappeared, and white clouds gathered again on Qinghu Mountain, covering the entire mountain.

Seeing this scene, the residents of Qinghu Island were relieved.

In the cave, Han Changlin, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly appeared from him with a halo of blue-red spiritual light, spreading out in all directions.

The dust on his body also flew away one after another, and then Han Changlin opened his eyes, and two balls of divine light burst out, illuminating the entire dim secret room as if it were day.

An astonishing spiritual pressure overflowed from Han Changlin's body, and Han Changlin also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Finally advanced to the late stage of Jindan."

Han Changlin took a deep breath and said lightly to himself.

After more than 20 years of cultivation, with the assistance of the elixir, he finally raised his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan, and then with the help of the Soul Condensing Pill, it took Han Changlin another three years to break through to the late stage of the Jindan.

Han Changlin's "Flame Separation True Mystery Technique" had also entered the third layer, and the mana in his body had increased at least several times compared to the middle stage of Jindan, and the mana was also more condensed.

Feeling the mana flowing in his body, Han Changlin felt an unprecedented strength.

In the past twenty years, he has not only refined the "Purple Thunder Star Swirl Shield", a set of mid-level magic weapons, but also refined three more Qingluan Ice Sword, and successfully cultivated the Soul Hidden Technique.

Not only that, but the nine-headed demon god obtained from the demon monk of the Six Extremes Demon Palace was also re-refined, and the demon god in the skull obtained from Shi Jiujin was also integrated into it.

This has also become one of Han Changlin's extremely sharp methods, and the sum of many means has doubled Han Changlin's confidence, and at this moment, he thinks that even if he encounters an immortal cultivator of the Jindan Great Perfection, he can handle it easily.

With his own magic thunder light technique, as well as the magic light hundred zhang flash magic seal obtained by killing the mirage winged Jiao, after fusing it, Han Changlin naturally comprehended this intermediate spell, and now Han Changlin, with these many means, even if he encounters an ordinary Yuan Infant early stage immortal cultivator, even if he can't beat it, he still has some certainty of escaping.

After Han Changlin broke through, he sat quietly on the futon, with a thoughtful expression flashing on his face.

After advancing to the late stage of the Jindan, there were still a few Soul Condensing Pills in his hand, and it stands to reason that he could continue to retreat, and with the remaining pills in his hands to practice behind closed doors, even if he advanced to the Jindan Great Perfection, it might not be impossible.

However, when Han Changlin broke through the bottleneck of the late stage of Jindan, he found that at the critical juncture of impacting the bottleneck with his own mana, many illusion magic obstacles were generated, which also made Han Changlin almost go mad when he advanced to the late stage of Jindan.

Although he resisted with a firm will, it also made him afraid, and he had never encountered this situation when he broke through the middle stage of Jindan.

It was only after he took a Soul Condensing Pill that he narrowly survived this crisis.

However, this time it was his luck, so what about next time?

Through this retreat and cultivation, Han Changlin faintly felt that after entering the late stage of Jindan, every breakthrough was not a simple process, and when he broke through the bottleneck of the later stage, the reason why there were many illusion obstacles was either because there were flaws in his state of mind, or because these many illusion obstacles were something that every advance had to go through after the late stage of Jindan.

But no matter which one it is, Han Changlin has to figure it out, otherwise he will blindly practice hard work, and when he breaks through, if he falls into that illusion in a daze, he may really be doomed.

Another point is that Han Changlin has almost comprehended the "Spirit Fetus Dividing Infant Dafa", and it is time to start cultivating.

And the cultivation of this "spiritual fetus and infant division method" is to plant a spiritual fetus in the body, and through the secret method, cultivate it until it is cultivated into an existence similar to the Taoist golden pill.

In this way, he can have two yuan infants, not only the supernatural power has greatly increased, but also has an additional means to save his life, and in the Qingluan Immortal Sutra, about the second yuan infant, there is also a secret magic power, which is said to be extremely powerful, but due to the obscurity between the lines, Han Changlin has been unable to understand it after reading it for a long time.

I can only give up for the time being, and after I have trained the second elemental infant, I will spend time to study.

However, if you want to cultivate this "Spirit Fetus Dividing Infant Method", it is not an easy thing, if you want to cultivate this secret technique, the most urgent thing in front of Han Changlin is to plant a spirit fetus within his dantian qi sea.

And this spirit fetus needs a carrier, that is, the spirit bead, the so-called spirit bead is a jade bead containing a certain attribute, and the attribute contained in it will also determine the attribute of the second yuan baby cultivated by Han Changlin in the future.

This is also something that Han Changlin needs to consider carefully, of course, to find this kind of jade bead with attributes, it will take a lot of effort to find it.

This is also the main reason why Han Changlin decided to leave the customs after careful consideration.

Of course, what Han Changlin still wants to do now is to continue to cultivate the few intermediate spells he has cultivated, such as the Magic Thunder Light Technique, although Han Changlin has cultivated to the silent level, there is still a long way to go from the Great Perfection.

If he could cultivate this spell to the Great Perfection, then even if Han Changlin met a Yuanying early stage cultivator, he would be able to escape calmly, unless the other party had also cultivated this magical thunder light technique, and it was at least at the silent level.

However, Han Changlin also knew that if he wanted to cultivate these intermediate spells to the Great Perfection, it would take at least twenty or thirty years to cultivate.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Han Changlin decided to go out to travel, on the one hand, to find the root cause of the many illusion magic obstacles he encountered when he broke through the bottleneck in the late stage of Jindan, on the other hand, to find the spirit bead, to cultivate the "Spirit Fetus Dividing Infant Dafa", and finally to continue to improve the proficiency of several intermediate spells.

After making a decision, Han Changlin's spiritual sense sensed that Jiang Yingxue had not come back from his outing experience, so he walked out of the cave, and on a piece of bluestone at the entrance of the cave, he poked out a finger of spiritual light, left some handwriting on it, and briefly said about his travels.

As for the immortal egg that was still hatching, Han Changlin was not worried, first, the immortal egg had already been refined by his own blood forbidden technique, even if others got it, it was useless, and the entire periphery of the cave mansion was arranged by himself more than a dozen formations, several of which were still connected to the spiritual veins under the thousands of feet of this Qinghu Island.

Even if the Yuanying Cultivator came to attack, it would take a long time, and with such a big movement, I am afraid that it would have already alarmed the disciples of the Imperial Water Palace in the Thunder Stone Immortal City.
