It was dark in the dungeon.

Obviously, when Yang Ning built the underground palace, he didn't take into account the external light. Of course, maybe the craftsmen under him don't have such superb skills to make the underground palace outside the sun and moon shine.

Therefore, as long as the underground palace is away from the corridor where the oil lamp is burned, it is pitch black, and there is no light in sight.

Of course, this is not absolute, in the dark, in a damp thorn bush, there is a faint fluorescence.

These thorns were the heart-devouring thorns that Lu Qi brought back from Cuiyun Villa that day.

Speaking of which, the vitality of vines is really tenacious.

That day, Lu Qi only brought back a small section of Heart-devouring Thorns from Cuiyun Villa, but now it has grown into a small thorn bush.

The reproductive ability of the Heart-Eating Thorn is really not covered.

Lu Qi sat shirtless in the middle of the thorns, with a night pearl in front of him, emitting a faint fluorescence. With the help of fluorescence, you can vaguely see that Lu Qi is tied to seven or eight thorns full of barbs, and at the same time, he is in a strange posture, closing his eyes and cultivating.

But I saw Lu Qi sitting cross-legged in the thorn bushes, his chest rising and falling, regulating his breathing at a special frequency. On his body, where it came into contact with the thorns, it changed color from time to time.

As his breathing rate grew, his skin sometimes turned purple and black, and at other times it returned to its original complexion.

It's shocking, and it looks terrifying.

Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down from Lu Qi's forehead, and the wraps on his body were already soaked. There was silence among the thorn bushes, except for Lu Qi's panting voice.

At this moment, a series of footsteps were heard in the darkness, and a flash of fire appeared in the distance. After a while, a white-robed family member came.

"Master Lu, it's already noon, and the prince sent me over to deliver food. ”

In the thorn bushes, Lu Qi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he slowly adjusted his posture.

Then he let out a sigh of relief, took away the heart-devouring thorns wrapped around his body, and stood up.

Beneath the epidermis, pale golden blood flowed, and the purple-black skin on the body quickly turned back to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With the sound of beans popping in his body, Lu Qi opened his eyes.

"Got it. ”

Lu Qi replied casually, and did not rush over, but glanced at the attribute bar first.

"Hundred Poison Refining Body Duel Level 3, proficiency 8280/9000."

"Five Visceral Alchemy Level 4, proficiency 153300/259200."

Now, although his horizontal practice has not yet broken through the treasure soldier level, it has also surpassed the original accumulation. The passive bonus of the Steel Decision is no longer there.

He can only rely on his own consummation-level scriptures and the bonus of the Heart-devouring Thorn to the Hundred Poisons Refining Body to promote the progress of horizontal practice.

Compared to the previous cultivation speed, it was much slower.

Speaking of Heart-Eating Thorns, with Lu Qi's current physical strength, the barbs of Heart-Eating Thorns could no longer cut through his skin.

Fortunately, toxins are a kind of juice, especially this highly toxic, and they can still work when applied to the skin. Otherwise, his sideways progress will be even slower.

As for the Five Organs Alchemy, although the progress is not slow, the huge proficiency demand also makes its cultivation progress as fast as a turtle.

At the current pace, it will take some time for both of these skills to break through.

Since the skill points had been used up, Lu Qi had no choice even if he was in a hurry. can only sink his mind, like an ordinary martial artist, and cultivate patiently step by step.

However, there is an attribute bar, and his cultivation speed is far beyond ordinary people.

After lunch, Lu Qi rested for a while, and said to the white-robed family who delivered the meal:

"Help me pass a message to your lord, let him help me keep an eye on the inside of the village, and if my master is out of the customs, come and inform me as soon as possible." ”

With that, Lu Qi walked into the thorn bush again.

The white-robed man said yes, and then packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left. Only Lu Qi was left to practice martial arts among the thorns.

In the afternoon, Jiading came again with Yang Ning's message and Lu Qi's dinner.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll let you know as soon as there is news. This is Yang Ning's message.

Lu Qi heard this and didn't carry any more news. Just instructed the family to come and deliver food every day in the future, and notify him as soon as there is any news.

After dinner, Lu Qi went to bed early in the underground palace.

Early the next morning, after Lu Qi had eaten, he continued to cultivate the Hundred Poisons Refining Body.

There was silence in the dungeon, and only Lu Qi's diligent figure remained.

After lunch, Lu Qi continued to cultivate.

It wasn't until dinner that Lu Qi finished his cultivation. Returned to the bedroom early and studied the scriptures, and there was no news worth paying attention to, so Lu Qi went to bed early.

And just like that, the cycle went on and on, and the days went by.

Lu Qi was taken in the underground palace and lived for half a month.

It's strange to say that in the past half a month, the huge Jiangzhou Mansion has been calm and quiet, and nothing has happened.

Under the premise that the Jiangzhou royal family, the king of Anyi, and the king of Jiangdu reached a consensus. Jiangzhou City has entered a period of rapid development and recovery.

As the snow melts in the city, the atmosphere in the city seems to come alive.

Shops reopened, and caravans resumed. The inheritance left by the deceased family in the city was also divided among the three forces.

The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the city vendors became lively.

Some were promoted to new wealthy families, filling the void of the upper echelons of power. Some of them decayed, and have since disappeared and have not been heard from again.

Of course, for Lu Qi, none of this was his concern.

......

In the dark dungeon, Lu Qi once again threw himself into the thorn bushes.

There was silence all around, except for Lu Qi's heavy breathing, there was no other sound.

Among the thorns, Lu Qi's eyes were closed, and the sweat on his forehead was like rain. But seeing that his face was hideous, the green tendons on his body burst out, and purple and black colors traveled all over his body.

As the purple and black colors became more and more, Lu Qi's brows became closer and closer.

The color accumulates more and more, and the accumulates darker and darker.

Lu Qi's lips were purple, and his face was like a zombie, as if he was about to be poisoned to death.

The purple-black qi slowly penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and after a while, Lu Qi's whole person turned into a bruised purple-black color from the inside out, and even his heart was infected with a sick color.

It seemed that his life was coming to an end.

However......

Bang!

Bang bang!

A powerful beating sound came from Lu Qi's chest.

Bang, bang, bang, bang......

The voice grew faster and faster, until the end.

Rumble!!!

A huge vitality burst out from Lu Qi's internal organs, spreading brutally to all sides.

In an instant, the thorns tied to him shook the branches and leaves.

Lu Qi only felt extremely severe pain all over his body, as if he was being cut with a knife or burned with fire, and every inch of his skin was uncomfortably swollen.

He sat cross-legged, gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and longed to pass out.

The pain was getting worse and worse, and it seemed that it was quickly reaching its limit, and all I could hear was his bursting cry.

"Open!"

Rise!

A dragon-like roar rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of hot air evaporated from Lu Qi's body, the purple-black color quickly subsided, and Lu Qi's body was no longer so painful.

Gradually, Lu Qi's skin faintly glowed with a pale golden luster, lubricated like jade, his skin was crystal clear and free of impurities, and his blood was surging, like a great river.

One breath and one breath, the momentum is amazing.

Slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed from Lu Qi's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

'It is finished!'
