For an ordinary martial artist, a five-star swordsman is already quite a formidable existence, and Han Chen has reached this realm at such an age, so it can be said that he is already extremely fast.

But for Han Chen, the five-star sword master realm was not enough, far from enough.

Now that it's October, it's two months before the end of the year, and after careful calculation, his agreement with Dugu is undefeated, and there are only more than two years and two months left, and his time is running out.

And this is only one aspect of his external factors, and the other is his strength.

After a series of breakthroughs during this period of time, although Han Chen's true qi cultivation has improved a lot, reaching the current five-star sword master realm, it is too far different from his physical strength.

During this time, while his true qi cultivation was improving, the Yama Emperor Quenching Body Sutra had also broken through and improved a lot, and now, although his physical strength had fallen into a bottleneck, he could no longer improve.

But with his 60,000 jin of powerful strength, the idle three-star sword realm martial artist was not his opponent at all.

And even those disciples of the sect who have high-level martial arts, under his 60,000 jin of powerful power, may not be able to please him.

Compared with the strength of the physical body, Han Chen's true qi cultivation in the five-star sword master realm was a little unsatisfactory, if it weren't for the support of the powerful Cold Snow Sword Technique, the true qi cultivation of this five-star sword master realm would have become a chicken rib.

Moreover, after cultivating the Samadhi True Fire, the weakness of the True Qi cultivation became even more obvious, and the scarce True Qi in the cyclone could not withstand the consumption of the Samadhi True Fire at all.

Just like now, it won't be a while. The true qi in Han Chen's dantian cyclone would be violently consumed, and then he would have to stop, enter cultivation, and recover his true qi.

It's such a humiliating feeling.

The most important thing is that in this way, the lack of true qi makes it impossible for Han Chen to refine some elixirs that need time to wear out, otherwise in that case, the lack of true qi will become a fatal wound.

As for supplementing it with the Returning Qi Pill and the Cold Ice Spirit Crystal, although it can indeed be effective in a short period of time. But this is not a long-term solution. Moreover, relying too much on the pill will also have a certain impact on one's own strength.

"Now that the Yama Emperor Quenching Body Sutra has fallen into a bottleneck and cannot be improved for the time being, then transfer all your energy to True Qi cultivation!" On the rock, Han Chen said softly in his heart.

"Wait for the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom to be refined. After the fire of the five elements fills the gap. Then he returned to the small valley. Strive to quickly break through the True Qi cultivation to the Sword Warrior Realm!" Han Chen quickly made a decision in his heart.

Under the miraculous effect of the Heavenly Venerable Realm Jade, after nearly a month of condensation, the impurities in his true qi had already been exhausted. The essence is incomparably pure, and the foundation of cultivation has also been stabilized. Now, even if we break through as quickly as we used to, there will be no more problems.

As for whether the cultivation speed could really be increased quickly, this point was no longer within Han Chen's consideration at all.

The most extreme physique in the water attribute physique, the Ice Spirit Body.

Absorbing the aura of heaven and earth in the lower abdomen, it has been cultivating the cold ice spirit crystal for more than ten years.

The famous liquor of the Wine Emperor Sect is ranked third, and it is an intoxicating brew that can increase the speed of cultivation.

Absorb the aura of heaven and earth and condense it for a hundred years before it can condense a blood lotus seed.

and this 100,000 mountains with a strong cold atmosphere, and the water attribute aura between heaven and earth is dominant.

With so many conditions added up, if the cultivation speed can't be raised, then Han Chen shouldn't cultivate, just find a crooked neck tree and hang his belt directly.

Thinking of this, the corners of Han Chen's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, there was no problem with cultivation, what did he have to worry about!

Immediately stopped thinking about this, his mind converged, and as his heart moved, the luck method of the Cold Snow Sword Technique quickly worked in his body.

Absorb the water spiritual energy between heaven and earth, refine the cold ice spirit crystal, extract the cold ice spiritual qi liquid in it, and then refine it.

Under this two-pronged approach, the dry true qi in Han Chen's dantian cyclone suddenly began to recover rapidly at a gratifying speed

Han Chen didn't spend much time entering the cultivation state, and after about a stick of incense, he withdrew from his cultivation.

On the rock, Han Chen, who was sitting quietly, slowly parted his hands, scattered the cultivation seal, his eyelashes moved slightly, and his eyes also opened.

His mind swept through his body, feeling the fullness of the dantian cyclone, Han Chen couldn't help but exhale lightly: "It's okay." It's fast to consume, but it's not slow to recover!"

The true qi of the five-star sword master realm was under the samadhi true fire, although it would be consumed quickly, but fortunately, with the unique environment of the cold ice spirit body and the 100,000 mountains, Han Chen's recovery speed was not slow, otherwise, he would really be depressed to death.

Now that the true qi has returned to its peak state, and his mind, after such a short period of cultivation, has also recovered a lot, although it is not like the true qi, which has completely recovered to the peak state, but it is not much different.

Then next, it is time to officially start absorbing the fire attribute aura in the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom, refining and absorbing it.

Thinking of this, Han Chen's eyes flashed, and he looked up. I saw that the rather large Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom was lying quietly on the rock wall that had completely cooled down at this time.

His gaze swept over it, and then Han Chen got up and got off the rock, and slowly sat down on the rock wall.

Looking at this Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom, which was a dark red color all over, Han Chen exhaled lightly and turned his head to look at Guiguzi.

Seeing Han Chen's gaze, Guiguzi didn't speak, but smiled and nodded.

Feeling Guiguzi's encouragement, Han Chen nodded slightly, then turned his head and landed his gaze on the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom in front of him again.

After a few breaths of silence, Han Chen finally slowly closed his eyes, and then stretched out his hands flat, palms facing down, facing the Snow Spirit Fire Zhi on the rock wall below.

"Suck!" A faint voice slowly spit out from Han Chen's slightly open mouth.

And as Han Chen's voice fell, his hands were on top of his palms. Suddenly, a suction force emanated, this suction force was not strong at the beginning, but in just a short breath, this suction force directly doubled, and it was still growing rapidly at a very alarming speed.

Gradually, with the rapid improvement of this suction force, a faint cyan halo slowly emerged in his palm, and at this time. The pulling force emanating from his palm had become extremely powerful.

It's just weird. Under this extremely strong suction force, there was no abnormality in the surroundings, the air flow was still flowing slowly, and the dust and soil on the ground were not affected in the slightest. Even the snow spirit fire mushroom under his palm. There is not the slightest change.

It was as if the suction force in Han Chen's palm was completely illusory.

Is there really no impact?

Naturally not. This suction force is a method of luck in the Samadhi True Fire cultivation method, which is called the 'Samadhi Spiritual Technique'.

This samadhi is capable of exuding an extremely powerful sucking power. But this suction power is different from the suction power caused by ordinary martial artists with true qi, and the object it can suck is not a physical object, but an aura.

Whether it is the aura between heaven and earth, or the aura contained in the object itself, it can be sucked out. This is also a small means in the cultivation method of Samadhi True Fire.

Sure enough, as the suction force in Han Chen's palm continued, it could be seen that a trace of red smoke was slowly emerging from the rhizome of the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom.

This red-colored smoke is the fire aura in the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom.

The red-colored fire spiritual energy had just emerged from the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom, and then it was directly sucked into his body by the sucking force in Han Chen's palm.

And at the moment when the fire spiritual energy was incorporated into his body, Han Chen's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and at the moment when the fire spiritual energy poured into his body, he obviously felt a faint feeling of pain, but it seemed that the content of this fire spiritual energy was too small, and he didn't even blink an eye, so he was drawn into the meridians by Han Chen's mind, and was directly refined by the fast-moving Samadhi True Fire cultivation method.

The powerful suction power continued to emanate from the palms of Han Chen's hands, and under this suction force, the red-colored, smoke-like fire spiritual energy also quickly emerged from the rhizome of the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom, and then was directly sucked into Han Chen's body.

As the fire spiritual energy pouring into his body gradually increased, Han Chen's brows furrowed even tighter than before.

When these fire spiritual qi poured into the body, the feeling of pain was dozens of times stronger than before, but fortunately, the previous pain was not strong, even if it was strengthened dozens of times, it was not too strong, at least it was far from Han Chen's tolerance limit.

Therefore, although the pain in his body continued to hit Han Chen's nerves like a tide, at this moment he was like that stubborn stone, no matter how the tide of pain hit, he was not moved at all, and even the hands that were stretched out did not tremble at all.

Under Han Chen's insistence, although the suction power emanating from the palms of his hands did not increase, the fire spiritual energy that emerged from the Snow Spirit Fire Zhi gradually increased.

Streams of incomparably rich and pure crimson smoke continued to waft out from the dark red rhizomes of the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom, and then were directly inhaled by Han Chen.

Although the pain in the body was not strong at first, as time went by, more and more fire spiritual energy was absorbed into the body, and the pain felt like a flame doused with fire oil, and it became higher and higher.

Feeling this pain that quickly became intense, Han Chen's heart couldn't help but become a little heavy, although he still didn't pay attention to this pain at this time, but according to this trend, the pain would be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally turning into a roaring avalanche and a tsunami that rushed into the sky, collapsing his nerves.

"Whew!" Han Chen took a light breath, he knew that the reason why this pain occurred was because his cold spirit body was rejecting the fire spirit qi that had been absorbed into the body.

Therefore, it is impossible to avoid this pain. As for giving up on absorbing the fire spiritual energy in the Snow Spirit Fire Zhi, it was naturally even more impossible.

Therefore, Han Chen, who had no other choice, could only choose to endure the pain silently with patience, gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.

Time passed slowly, in the blink of an eye. It's been three hours.

And at this time, Han Chen was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning, only to see that his brows were tightly constricted at this time, his originally ruddy face had become extremely pale at the moment, his lower lip was bitten tightly by his teeth, and fine beads of sweat continued to emerge from his forehead, and then gathered together, rolling down, dripping onto the ground, and raising a faint dust.

An hour of absorption and refining. A massive influx of fire spiritual energy. It was really like a snowball, pushing the pain in Han Chen's body to an extremely strong level.

Under this feeling of pain, even with Han Chen's ability to bear it, he felt extremely difficult.

But fortunately, when I took the Melting Blood Yigu Pill. Han Chen had already experienced even more severe pain. Compare this. Although the pain at this time was extremely violent, it was still a lot worse, and Han Chen could barely bear it.

The pit is not a wide space. Snow Spirit Huozhi lay quietly on the rock wall in front of Han Chen, three hours of refining and absorption, and the passage of a large amount of spiritual energy, making its color slightly lighter, but this change is very small, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to find it, it can be seen how strong the spiritual energy contained in it is.

Streams of rich and pure fire spiritual energy emerged from the rhizome, and then were absorbed into Han Chen's body, and then quickly carried Zhou Tian in the meridians by the Samadhi True Fire's Luck Technique, and after a little refining, it was directly poured into the dantian on Han Chen's eyebrows for the Samadhi True Fire to absorb.

Although this process is said to be simple, the pain that can be endured in it cannot be expressed in words.

Time flows by like sand between your fingers.

The color of the snow spirit fire mushroom on the rock wall quickly dimmed with the continuous loss of fire spiritual energy, and some of the small rhizomes, after the loss of fire spiritual energy, directly turned into powder and scattered on the rock wall.

And as more and more fire spiritual energy is incorporated into the body, the ice spirit's sense of rejection of fire spiritual energy has become more and more intense.

The intensification of the sense of rejection was naturally accompanied by the increase in the sense of pain, but Han Chen had no way to do this, all he could do was to bear it silently.

Soon, another three hours passed.

At this time, after three hours of refining, the appearance of the snow spirit fire mushroom on the rock wall has also changed greatly, only to see that most of its dense rhizomes like spider webs have turned into powder, scattered on the rock wall, and only a few thick taprhizomes are still silently persistent.

Compared with these rhizomes, the huge volume of Xueling Huozhi has also shrunk significantly, and now it is only a dozen centimeters in size.

The pulverization of the rhizome and the reduction of the volume, it was obvious that under Han Chen's sucking, a large amount of the fire spiritual energy contained in the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom had been lost, and now, there was not much left.

Compared to the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom, although Han Chen had absorbed other people's Fire Spiritual Qi, his situation at this time was not much better than the former.

I saw that Han Chen's face was unusually pale at this time, and there was no trace of blood in sight, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, his teeth were clenched, and fine beads of sweat continued to emerge from his forehead like rain, and then quickly rolled down.

At this time, although Han Chen's body was still standing still, it could be seen from the tense muscles all over his body and the green tendons on his skin that protruded like cyan earthworms that he was struggling to endure the severe pain that was surging from his body like a tide one after another.

Although the pain in his body was incomparably severe now, Han Chen was slightly relieved in his heart, because through his soul perception, he could clearly observe the situation of the Snow Spirit Fire Zhi in front of him.

Judging from the size of the Snow Spirit Fire Mushroom at this time, the fire spiritual energy contained in it only takes half an hour at most to refine it.

At that time, the fire of the five elements in the true fire of samadhi will also be filled with perfection, and the damn pain in the body will also fade with it.

"No matter how painful it is, it's only half an hour, hold on!" Han Chen said to himself secretly in his heart.

And when Han Chen was cheering himself up like this, Guiguzi, who was not far away, suddenly opened his eyes, and let out an inaudible sound from his mouth.

"Huh?"

The old man's gaze flashed slightly, and then a powerful soul power rushed out of the sea of his consciousness, extending straight in a certain direction

In a forest five hundred miles away from Han Chen and the others, there was a team of mercenaries walking slowly at this time.

There were not many mercenaries in this group, only a dozen people, all of them were sturdy and tall men.

More than a dozen people walked slowly in the forest, their vigilant eyes swept around from time to time, although the surroundings seemed calm, but these people walked with their feet as low as possible, and at the same time pressed their palms on the hilt of their swords, ready to enter the battle at any time.

Although this can greatly reduce the danger reduction, and in the event of a sudden attack by the demonic beast, it can greatly save one's own safety, but in this way, the consumption of energy is also great.

Sure enough, after walking again for a while, the breathing of these people began to become a little rapid, and it was obvious that their energy had been exhausted a lot.

This is not only a physical exhaustion, but also a mental exhaustion.

At this time, I saw a big man in front of more than a dozen people who was obviously the captain of this team of mercenaries turned his head and said respectfully to the two people beside him: "We have driven more than 30 miles, and the brothers have also consumed a lot, why don't we stop for a while and rest!

The two of them looked very young, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and the clothes they wore were different from those worn by the mercenaries.

Obviously, these two young men were not mercenaries, but disciples of Wan Bingzhai.

Hearing the man's words, the brows of the two young men suddenly furrowed slightly.

Then he turned around and swept back, only to see that the mercenaries behind him were all out of breath, and this state was indeed not suitable for continuing to walk.

"Give you time for two pillars of incense, and if you can't hurry after two pillars of incense, then we won't wait any longer!" said a young man who looked a little chubby, one of the two, nodded proudly.

Hearing this, the man immediately responded with a smile on his face, and then turned his head to the mercenaries behind him and shouted: "Rest in place, continue to set off after two pillars of incense!" (to be continued......)

PS: (Whew~~ It's finally rushed out.)

1w5, Thirteen promised, Thirteen did. ）
