Since their cultivation did not reach the third layer of condensation, Zuo Hu and Xiangning could only go back to the cave to continue their cultivation.

Walking on the way back to the cultivation cave, Zuo Hu had been sullen all the time, which made Xiangning, who was used to him laughing and playing, very unaccustomed.

"Uh... Zuo Hu, it's already difficult to cultivate this thing, so it's inevitable that it won't go well for a while. Xiangning, who was walking slowly beside Zuo Hu, carefully looked at his expression. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Master Lan Bing didn't blame you. ”

Zuo Hu suddenly stopped, and slammed his fist on the trunk of the tree next to him, causing the leaves to fall down in shock, and Xiang Ning screamed in shock.

"Left Protector.... You.. What's wrong with you?!...." She looked anxious, and hurriedly pulled back his fist against the trunk of the tree and clenched it in the palm of his hand, which was already stained with blood.

"Are you crazy, why are you hitting the trunk with your hands..... Xiangning said with distress, but seeing the loneliness on Zuo Hu's face, she couldn't bear to say anything more. Just silently bandaged the left hand with a handkerchief.

The pain in my hands was nothing. Zuo Hu said in a numb whisper, "Xiangning, do you know? I'm a waste of firewood! Do you know how long I've stayed on the first floor of the condensation stage? It's been five years! For my waste, my mother wasted her cultivation to take care of me and left me with the best things, but in the end, I'm still a waste of firewood! Everyone else looks down on me..... Now even Master Lan Bing looks down on me...."

Zuo Hu turned and sat down against the trunk of the tree, the sun shining on his cheeks, printing a line of crystal tears. Xiang Ning frowned and squatted down, silently watching the boy cry. But I don't know where to explain. She was just thinking that if Zuo Hu was destined to be assigned to the Frontier in the end, she would be willing to go with him....

Use your hand to wipe away your tears. She said softly.

"If you were a scrap, you wouldn't stand up when I was being bullied. At that time, there were so many people, many of whom were highly cultivated, but it was you who helped me, and this courage and chivalry surpassed everyone!"

Xiang Ning sat side by side under the tree with her left guard.

"I have been an orphan since I was a child.... Fortunately, when I was in the Snake King Sect, the master and sisters have always loved and cared, so that I can live to this day. When I came to Chiba Palace, I was actually scared ... I'm afraid that I'll never meet someone who cares about helping me again. But the heavens still favor me. Xiang Ning's soft eyes looked at Zuo Hu.

"It made me meet you. No matter what happened in the past or in the future, you are my hero!"

Facing the light of the setting sun, Xiangning smiled.

Looking at this smile, Zuo Hu had an indescribable taste in his heart. Full and beautiful lips, outlining the most perfect arc . The whole world is in vain, only the red lips are real. He couldn't help but slowly get closer, wanting to see more clearly. Closer, the owner of the lips shrunk and pursed lightly in nervousness. But eventually it relaxed. And took the initiative to meet it..... A fragrant warmth made Zuo Hu's heart pound.

I don't know how it started, I don't know how it ended.... I only remember that both of them said goodbye to each other with a little embarrassment. Xiang Ning blushed and escaped from Zuo Go's sight.

Back in the cave, the left guard in his knees was a little excited, but also a little annoyed. He didn't know why he couldn't help but do such an outrageous thing. But thinking of Xiangning's sweet and greasy tenderness, the tacit understanding that makes people's hearts throb. He felt glorious even though he was dead.

Shaking his head vigorously, he waved the heart-warming fragrance of the scene from his mind.

The most important thing now is to improve one's cultivation. Don't let down the encouragement of Xiangning.

Take out the purple demon beast eggs from the storage spirit ornament, put them close to yourself, and place the ten best spirit stones around your body. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. Let yourself try his best to relax before exhaling spiritual power, tighten his mind, run the method of absorbing spiritual power, and cross his knees with a calm expression, soon, he felt that the spiritual power began to gather towards himself, through the pores of the skin, wandering the meridians of the whole body, and then gathering on the dantian, if you have a pair of see-through eyes, you can see a purple spiritual power cyclone in his dantian, and then slowly rotate, like a grinding plate, the newly absorbed spiritual power is crushed, absorbed, and grown.

It's just that the process of growing this growth is quite slow.

As time passed, the amount of spiritual power absorbed by Zuo Hu began to increase, and the spiritual power emitted by the spirit stones around his body formed a dense cloud of smoke, which was swallowed by Zuo Hu's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some spirit stones began to become dim.

In the clouds of spiritual power, the purple demon eggs began to squirm faintly! On one side, the left protector devoured a large amount of white spiritual power into the body, but the demon egg on the other side pulled out a trace of purple smoke from the left guard's body!

The demon egg was absorbing the spiritual power that had been refined in Zuo Hu's body for his own use, but Zuo Hu didn't notice it.

In the dark cave mansion, a faint fluorescence enveloped the illusionary left protector in the Lingxia, as well as the purple demon egg.

There is no concept of time. For Zuo Hu, he had only one thought in his heart at this time, to accumulate spiritual power.

I don't know how long it has been.

"Smack!", a spirit stone burst into powder, and the spiritual power was absorbed.

This sound seemed to have a chain reaction, and the spirit stones turned into ashes one after another.

Of the ten top-grade spirit stones, half of them had been sucked into powder, and half of them had been completely dimmed.

Huo Ran's two flashes of spiritual light, the smoke and haze also retreated, and Zuo Hu opened his eyes!

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a hint of joy.

"It's working!"

Just now, the saturation of that spiritual power did not appear to be absorbed, and the cyclone in the dantian no longer rotated. The aura cyclone began to expand.

Zuo Hu knew that he had reached the Lingtuo stage.

The Lingtuo stage is a manifestation of the advanced stage of the condensation period, and after the spiritual energy is saturated and can no longer be absorbed, it begins to expand, which is used to break the original limit definition. That is, the limit of the spiritual power that the immortal cultivator's body can hold at this stage will be broken. The cyclone expands, and after breaking the barrier, it will automatically condense and compress, and the aura cyclone will become denser and of better quality, and the space for storing spiritual power in the immortal cultivator's body will become larger, and the advancement will be successful.

Looking around at the spirit stones around him, Zuo Hu, who was a little happy just now, began to frown again, the amount of spirit stones absorbed by his own cultivation was really amazing, equivalent to the loss of several levels of others entering!

"What should I do?" Zuo Hu scratched his hair helplessly, "If there is no spirit stone, the cultivation will be interrupted, and it is about to break through, but the resources are insufficient, it is really urgent!"

The feeling of breaking through that he hadn't experienced for many years made Zuo Hu inexplicably excited, and he was worried that it would be a dream. If he didn't really advance, he was afraid of long nights and dreams.

Some of the left guards have gained and lost.

"Say anything, take this opportunity to break through to the second layer of the condensation stage!" the budding hope made him decisive.

It's too long in the condensation period.... After staying for a long time, it became a breath of qi, and this qi already made him unable to wait to receive a new spirit stone next month!

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration, and Zuo Hu suddenly remembered something. The hand swept over the storage totem, and a white jade bottle appeared in the palm of his hand, "I almost forgot, there are still thirty quenching pills." Open the cap of the bottle, the spiritual light with a strong Dan fragrance came to the face, poured out a yellow Dan Pill from the bottle, exquisitely clear, the brilliance is restrained, like a rare treasure, people can't put it down!

Quenching Pill is an alchemist who uses a rather complicated alchemy to refine a pill containing pure spiritual power or immortal power, and the left hand is a quenching pill containing spiritual power, which can be directly absorbed by immortal cultivators without refining, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid replenishment and consumption. However, a monk can only take a maximum of two pills a day.

Holding this yellow pill in front of him, Zuo Hu was a little hesitant, because the Quenching Pill was full of spiritual power, and eating one before the retreat would help cultivate Na Ling Qi and gather qi. He's already eaten one.

At this time, the spiritual power in his body is very strong, if he eats it rashly, will he leave sequelae?

Zuo Hu blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth, "Whatever, I am facing a breakthrough now, isn't it just that I need a lot of spiritual power to impact the bottleneck?"

The palm of his hand poked into his mouth, and he ate the Quenching Pill.

The pill melts in his mouth, Zuo Hu frowned, smashing it in his mouth, "This pill is really nothing special! It tastes similar to jelly beans." ”
