Chapter 17: Soul Refining and Refinement

The sun rises in the east, and the golden glow is everywhere. The morning sun passed through the fog and fell on Su Mo's face, and his eyes, which had been closed for several days, slowly opened.

In the battle with Red Leaves, he can be said to be in and out of his hole cards, and the loss of vitality is not small. Although it did not hurt the root, in order to warm the soul, a lot of rare pills were consumed, and the hidden danger was eliminated.

Fortunately, Hongye's family has a lot of money, and with the reward of the sect, Su Mo made a lot of money. If you practice in retreat step by step, you don't need to worry about spiritual points for seven or eight years.

The Zhou Tian cycle subsided, Su Mo stood up and came to the insect room where the bee colony was placed.

Demon insects, among the monsters and spirits of various races, are almost all at the bottom. Not only is it low in combat power, it is difficult to transform into a shape, and its potential is limited, it is difficult to break through the shackles of bloodline and transform into a higher existence.

The most important thing is that although the investment in raising a single demon insect is only one-tenth of the number of demon beasts of the same level, or even lower. However, if you want to cultivate a swarm with combat power, even if it is a low-grade ordinary swarm, the resources required are extremely huge.

If it weren't for the fast growth rate of demon insects, simple thinking, absolute obedience to orders, easy to control and command. I'm afraid that no cultivator is willing to treat them as demon pets and spend a lot of money to cultivate them.

When Lu Cripple gave the bee colony to Su Mo, he may not have used it as a fetter, so that Su Mo could not do without his support. Otherwise, with the profits of a Star Sea Pavilion alone, he really couldn't afford to raise this group of golden-tailed bees.

Originally, according to Su Mo's idea, it was enough to raise these golden-tailed bees, and when he reached the Jindan and even the Yuanying Realm, he would pack them back and return them.

However, when chasing and killing red leaves, after the queen bee got his order, she did not hesitate to launch a sneak attack and almost died on the spot, which made Su Mo quite touched and planned to cultivate them well.

Even if they are not of great use in the future, it is also excellent to let them collect nectar to make wine, or to watch the house in the cave.

"Buzz!"

Coming to the honeycomb, Su Mo lightly buttoned his eyebrows, endured the severe pain, and drew out a wisp of divine soul, which was quietly suspended in the palm of his hand under the wrapping of misty essence blood.

Although when he was promoted to the Sea Viewing Realm, his body was baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation, and the level of spiritual condensation was not much different from that of a Foundation Building Realm monk. But after all, the cultivation is too low, and forcibly separating the divine soul is still a bit reluctant after all.

However, it is worth it to completely subdue the queen bee and then control thousands of golden-tailed bees. As for the damage to the soul, after taking a few pills to warm the soul and meditating for a few months, he slowly recovered.

Feeling the fluctuation of the divine soul imprint, the sleeping queen bee immediately woke up, her wings trembled violently, and her whole body exuded a fierce aura, but she was afraid of something and did not dare to move.

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, any spirit creature has a natural resistance to the Divine Soul Imprint, with the queen bee's low intelligence, it is very rare to be able to suppress his instincts, and he did not fight back against his master.

Su Mo smiled, raised his fingers, used the essence blood as the rune paper, and the divine soul as the vermilion ink, carved the runes in the air, and then lightly tapped at the queen bee.

The runes are like streams, submerged into the queen bee's body, turning into silk lines, spreading all over the body, and then slowly closing, and finally condensed into a little spiritual light in the center of the queen bee's eyebrows, flickering and disappearing.

"Buzz!"

The queen bee's body twitched, curled up together, teeth rubbing, and a screeching sound of gold and stone intertwined.

"Bear with it, if you can endure this hardship, you will have happiness in the future!" Su Mo stretched out his hand, and a gentle yuan force gushed out, wrapping the queen bee's body and sending it back to the hive.

Walking out of the insect room, Su Mo came to the small courtyard and took out a two-eared and three-legged furnace with two ears and three legs, the whole body was as black as ink, and many complicated runes were depicted on the surface.

Su Mo looked solemn, took out three fire crystals and inlaid them at the bottom of the furnace, and waved his hand to draw out a stream of clear water from the stream and inject it into the furnace.

When the water boils, he waves his hand and takes out dozens of precious elixirs, which are shattered into powder with yuan force, which falls into the furnace like a drizzle, turning into pure medicinal power and fusing with boiling water.

"Snort!"

A corrosive sound came out from inside the ding, and dozens of domineering medicinal powers repelled and fused with each other, and finally turned into black and white, like the rotation of yin and yang, each occupying half of the country.

Su Mo took a deep breath, looked resolute, jumped into it, and sat in the center of the furnace.

The body and soul are born from birth, and the acquired tempering is extremely difficult and painful, and if you are not careful, you will leave a hidden danger of hidden injuries. For monks, it is not conducive to forging the Yuan Infant Dao Fetus, and for martial artists, it is not conducive to forging the Golden Body Cave Mansion. Therefore, when it comes to strengthening the body, whether it is a warrior or a monk, they are all cautious, and they are not completely sure, and they will never dare to try it easily.

Fortunately, Su Mo is an alchemist, familiar with all kinds of drug attributes, and can configure the corresponding quenching liquid according to his own physique and cultivation.

Entering the furnace, Su Mo collected the protective qi, and the boiling medicinal liquid suddenly became like tumbling magma, scorching every inch of his skin!

In a short time, the skin cracked and peeled off, revealing bright red flesh and blood, and the violent medicinal power seeped into the limbs and bones, rampaging through the meridians, like thorns shuttling through the narrow road, leaving countless fine wounds.

The severe pain spread all over his body, Su Mo's face was hideous, he roared in a low voice, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his fists were clenched, his green tendons were bulging, his nails were sinking into his palms, and his blood was agitated, causing the furnace to vibrate!

"Ahh

Half a quarter of an hour later, Su Mo finally couldn't bear this torture like a thousand knives, he looked up to the sky and roared, the sound was rolling, resounding through the valley, and the vitality was like a tide, causing the mountains and rocks to tremble.

In the hive, the queen bee looked anxious, flying back and forth in the insect room, and finally brought the bee colony to the furnace ding, circling and flying, absorbing the overflowing medicinal power while protecting Su Mo.

Dabao, who was not far away, rolled his eyes and slowly swam in front of the queen bee to prevent it from getting any closer to the furnace.

The queen bee has limited intelligence, and even though Dabao has a similar aura to it, she still regards blocking the road as a provocation and directs the swarm to rush over.

Dabao slowly raised his head, his breath was fierce, and he looked at the queen bee's golden vertical pupils, and burst out with a blue and cold light.

The queen bee's eyes were dull, as if struck by lightning, her body was stiff, and she forgot to incite her wings, and fell straight to the ground.

Without the queen bee's command, the entire bee colony was suddenly in chaos, and dozens of golden-tailed bees rushed towards Su Mo in the furnace under the temptation of medicinal incense.

Dabao's eyes narrowed slightly, his tail flicked, and the afterimage was like a curtain, knocking out all the golden-tailed bees close to Su Mo.

The queen bee came back to her senses and immediately gathered a swarm of bees to form a huge battle formation and confront Dabao.

The big war is on the verge of breaking out!

"Don't make a fuss. ”

At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from inside the furnace.

Dabao stuck out his tongue, his body swam forward, and he was full of momentum, directly forcing back the swarm, while he stood at the gate of the small courtyard, vigilant around.

In a short time, the breeze in the valley suddenly rose, and the spiritual energy gathered, turning into a huge whirlpool, revolving around the furnace.

"Knock knock!"

With a loud thunderous sound, the huge aura vortex began to condense, and finally turned into a milky white river and poured into Su Mo's body.

The liquid gradually became turbid, exuding a faint fishy smell, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, and his vision returned to clarity. Looking at the pale golden brilliance circulating on the surface of his body, he smiled with satisfaction.

Although the cultivation of the martial arts did not go further, the cultivation of the ninth layer of qi cultivation was consolidated, the foundation was strong and condensed, and the qi and blood were vigorous. The Nine Dao Innate Vitality Breath is approaching, as long as he is willing, he can break through to the Foundation Building Realm at any time!

It's just that Liu Feng's attitude is unclear, and Old Man Lu's secret backer in Taixuanzong has not yet surfaced, so it is not appropriate to be too prominent before digging out more information.

Anyway, in a short period of time, the identity of a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall is enough for him to protect himself and protect Taiping Street from other forces.

Walking out of the furnace, Su Mo asked the queen bee to return to the hive, then patted Dabao's head, came to the stream, washed the dirt on his body, changed into a silk white robe, silently breathed, and digested the gains.

"Is Senior Brother Su here?"

At this moment, the clouds and mist rolled, and a crisp sound came from outside the valley.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand to open the formation, walked quickly to the mouth of the valley, and arched his hand: "If you miss the distance, don't blame Senior Sister Mu!"

Mu Lan smiled: "I took the liberty to visit, disturbing my junior brother's Qing Xiu!"

Su Mo chuckled and said, "You're welcome, the house is simple, if the senior sister doesn't dislike it, please come in and talk about it." ”

Mu Lan smiled and nodded.

The two came to the pavilion and sat opposite each other. Su Mo waved his hand and took out the tea set, poured two cups of spiritual tea, and gently pushed one out.

Mu Lan took the spiritual tea and said with a smile: "In front of the Law Enforcement Hall that day, Senior Brother had superb swordsmanship and defeated me and Senior Brother Chen in a row. Now that he has successfully killed the demon cultivator red leaves and is famous in the outer sect, it must not be long before he will be favored by the masters of the sect and accepted as a disciple, which can be described as a promising future and enviable!"

"Senior sister is too famous!" Su Mo waved his hand and said: "The road of cultivation is thorny and bumpy, endless, and the smoothness of one or two steps does not mean anything. What's more, the disciples of the sect are heroic, and with this little bit of strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the eyes of the masters of the sect. ”

Mu Lan took a sip of spiritual tea and suddenly asked, "Does Senior Brother have any plans to join the Demon Hunting Group?"

The southern region is vast, and the territory occupied by the human race is only a small part of it, and there are countless mountains, lakes, plains, forests, and large rivers and swamps occupied by demon beasts, and there are countless treasures of heaven and earth. As far as the Sunset Mountain Range is concerned, the north and south stretch for millions of miles, and nearly sixty percent of Taixuanzong's annual resources are obtained from it.

Although after 10,000 years of fighting, the powerful demon beasts on the periphery of the Sunset Mountain Range were almost completely hunted and killed by Taixuanzong, but for ordinary disciples, there was still a lot of danger. In order to reduce casualties, under the guidance and support of the sect, the disciples of the five veins have recruited talents according to their respective attributes and created many demon hunting groups, in order to obtain safety and maximum benefits in the experience.

In this case, Zixiao Peak, which is good at fighting and attacking, and has many sword cultivators, is naturally very popular with the major peak veins.

Su Mo shook his head and said: "It's still a short time to get started, and in the next period of time, I am going to accumulate spiritual points and concentrate on cultivation, I am afraid that I will disappoint my senior sister." ”

"The junior brother is strong in the Dao, which is admirable. Mulan's smile remained unchanged, put down the spiritual tea, and changed the topic: "Some time ago, I found a six-eared black bear's cave in Fuyun Ridge by luck. Judging from the medicinal fragrance overflowing from the cave, it should be a blood jade ginseng. It's just that this six-eared black bear has already cultivated in the early stage of the second order, with rough skin and thick flesh, and amazing defense, and I and a few friends can't help it after a few shots. I don't know if the junior brother is willing to help? If there is a harvest at that time, the junior brother can have 20% of it!"

When Su Mo heard this, he pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!"
