Chapter 263

But. His subsequent actions were somewhat unexpected.

Xu Yang actually took off the black robe on the black-robed man and carefully put it into the storage ring. As for the cyan sword and the cloud-piercing dart that fell to the ground, he finally found them after a little effort.

After scooping up the loot, he glanced around, sniffing the strong smell of blood and frowning.

This is a dense forest, and the strong smell of blood can easily attract fierce beasts, although he is not afraid, but he does not want to cause trouble in vain. After changing into a clean set of clothes and wiping the blood stains off his body.

I don't know what kind of mentality he had, he actually popped up four fireballs in a row, burning the bodies of the black-robed man and the other four.

It wasn't until after doing all this that Xu Yang's body flashed, burrowed into the dense forest, and disappeared here.

In a small cave on an unknown mountain peak, Xu Yang was meditating cross-legged, silently running the mana, and his mana was slowly recovering. After he left the place of battle, he searched for this remote uninhabited mountain to recover.

At this moment, his injuries had already recovered at the expense of all kinds of healing pills. It's just that the consumption of mana and divine consciousness is too huge, and it takes a little time to recover.

However, he also took the opportunity to reflect on what happened not so long ago.

From Yu Daowei's departure, to the enemy's escape, and then to being forced to fight. First, he fought passively and hard, and finally took the initiative to fight with the black-robed man.

All these are invaluable experiences for Xu Yang. Let him have a deeper understanding of the use of magic techniques and magic weapons, of course, it is his scheming that has improved more.

For him, several life-and-death crises are not only severe challenges, but also rare opportunities for improvement. At this moment, Xu Yang is very different from when he first came out of Fang City.

He has become stronger, which is achieved through bloody battles and life-and-death crises.

In addition, through the battle with the black-robed man, Xu Yang can be regarded as the first time to truly recognize his strength.

In fact, this is also one of the purposes for him to take the initiative to fight with the black-robed man, recognizing his own strength, which will definitely be of great benefit to the future battle with the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master.

He silently estimated his strength and means, although he only had the cultivation of the peak of the early stage of Qi Gathering, it was definitely not comparable to the average mid-stage Qi gathering cultivator.

As far as the method is concerned, his main technique is the method of gathering spirits. This exercise is extremely secretive, and even Xu Yang doesn't know its true details.

He has cultivated to the point where he has reached this point, but he only knows that this kind of exercise does not lie in a great improvement in one aspect, but in the overall improvement of all aspects of him.

Mana, divine sense, and even physical strength, he felt that he was obviously nearly half stronger than ordinary monks.

But this advantage is not obvious, at most compared to ordinary monks, once he encounters some monks who practice the best exercises, the Gathering Spirit Technique is a little weak, for example, his mana is far inferior to the black-robed man.

His auxiliary exercise, Vajra Immortal Technique, was trapped in the realm of the peak of the first layer.

However, this exercise was originally the best exercise, and the Gathering Spirit Technique seemed to have a bonus effect on this exercise, making his physical body much stronger than other monks, which was also the reason why he was able to defeat Wu Zheng in brute strength.

These two exercises were enough to make him proud of his peers in the early stage of Qi Gathering, plus his other methods, especially the mid-level magic weapon Phantom Needle and the Heart Piercing Cone he had just obtained, these two great killing weapons.

If an ordinary mid-stage Qi Gathering monk fought against him, there was absolutely only one way to be killed.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang's heart settled down slightly.

Originally, he was not very sure about the battle with the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master. The opponent is at least the peak cultivation of the middle stage of Qi Gathering, and if the means are clever, he is definitely an extremely difficult opponent.

At the beginning, he planned to fight for his life and die with the other party.

But after the battle not so long ago, his thinking began to change somewhat. He still wanted to win, but he also wanted to live, even if he didn't know why.

But whether it was Uncle Chen when he was a beggar, or the master Kongyun Dao people he met later, what they taught Xu Yang was the way to survive.

When you die, you have nothing.

Before the people of Kongyun Dao died, they all hoped that Xu Yang would live, even if he was going away from other places.

must not die easily, this is Xu Yang's second firm belief at the moment in addition to revenge, which he realized in several life and death crises.

"Whew!" After pouring out a breath of turbidity, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yang's mouth.

His mana consciousness had been recovered, and the injuries in his body were fine, as for the wounds on his right lower abdomen, they were just some external injuries.

If it weren't for that blow, the spiritual power that rushed into his body hurt his internal organs, he could easily let the wound heal.

When he felt completely fine, his hand shook, and a large number of things appeared in front of his eyes. Spirit stones, magic weapons, talismans, jade slips, and some bottles and jars, jade boxes and the like.

Although some of the things had been put away by him before, there were still many treasures, which made Xu Yang take a deep breath.

Next, Xu Yang began to classify them.

What he thought he would use, he put it aside and put it into his usual storage ring. As for the others, he put them up with another storage ring to be disposed of later.

This process lasted for half an hour, which shows how rich he has gained.

After Xu Yang finished counting the treasures, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. It seems that these four people have teamed up to kill people and seize treasures, and I don't know how many times, the collection is so rich.

There are nearly 10,000 spirit stones alone, and the number of rune seals has doubled several times, although most of them are low-level runes, but there are also thousands of middle-level rune seals.

However, most of these talismans were actually in the hands of Wu Zheng and the three of them, and the black-robed man did not have much stock.

Among the black-robed man's storage rings, the most were items such as magic weapons. More than a dozen pieces of various magic weapons made Xu Yang's eyes light up, and he selected a few in the middle to use.

As for some of the pills and spirit herbs in the back, he knew some of them, and some of them were unheard of.

However, just counting what he knew was enough to make him smile from ear to ear.

Some other strange treasures, he still has little experience, most of them don't know, so naturally he can only put them aside.

After putting away most of the things, Xu Yang began to study everything he could see, and the heart piercing cone was naturally his first choice.

He tried this magic weapon, and the corners of his mouth twitched, because he found that the mana it used was even a few points higher than that of the phantom needle.

At this moment, he really admired the black-robed man, the other party could use it as many as three times in a battle. And during the period, you have to constantly fight with yourself, and the mana spent in that way is absolutely terrifying. Even a monk in the middle stage of Qi Gathering may not be able to do this.

Then, Xu Yang took out a shield that was shining with blue light. He sensed it a little, and found that it was no less inferior than the thick earth shield, and it was definitely worth it.

Xuanqing Shield, a top-level low-level magic weapon, in addition to the pitch-black shield, the black-robed man's favorite defensive magic weapon.

The reason why Xu Yang knew these things was that he used the soul searching method to search for Hongyan's remnant soul, although he only searched for her remnant soul, but it also let Xu Yang know a lot of things.

In the battle with the black-robed man, what he knew also played an extremely important role, and it was also one of the reasons why Xu Yang dared to stay and fight with the other party.

After he put away the Xuanqing Shield, he picked up the dagger that the black-robed man had used.

The blade of the dagger is curved, giving people an extremely sharp and cruel feeling, and the mana always enters it, emitting a glittering white light. Although he hadn't launched an attack yet, Xu Yang felt a compelling chill.

The white light dagger is the sharpest magic weapon of the black-robed man.

After Xu Yang put it away, he picked up a small cyan sword.

This Qinghong sword is very sharp, and the most important thing is that it is not weak, but the mana consumed is very small, and it is the most commonly used attack weapon for men in black robes.

Xu Yang also put away the Qinghong Sword, and then took out the black cloud flag.

With a rush of mana, a black mist appeared. His divine sense swept through it, and it disappeared like a quagmire.

In addition to the flying effect, this black cloud banner is more important to conceal magical powers.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yang had been locking on to the enemy at that time, knowing that the other party was driving the black clouds to pursue. It is likely that the other party will be deceived, and it is difficult to say what the outcome will be at that time.

The hotness in his eyes flashed, and he thought about it secretly before putting it away.

After a moment's hesitation, he pulled out a small hammer. As soon as the mana was urged, the small hammer rose against the storm and turned into nearly half a zhang in size. The dark appearance gives people a sense of simplicity and heaviness.

This Star Shattering Hammer artifact belonged to Wu Zheng and was one of his spare artifacts.

Xu Yang lost the Golden Splitting Sword and the two-handed big axe, and without a melee magic weapon, he naturally took a fancy to it.

In the end, Xu Yang's move turned out to be to pick up the black robe on the black-robed man. He swept his consciousness towards it, and a special sensation came, as if through and as if it hadn't been penetrated.

He poured mana into it, and after his divine sense swept it again, his expression couldn't help but froze. This time, his divine sense was actually rebounded by this black robe!

A hint of strangeness flashed in Xu Yang's eyes, this black robe was much more mysterious than what he knew from the Red Remnant Soul, which aroused Xu Yang's curiosity.

He began to study the black robe slowly, and after a long time, he stopped with a happy expression. This time he didn't put it away, but draped it directly over his body.

This black robe was only draped over the monk's body, and although others could detect that person's cultivation, they could not know the amount of that person's mana.

This is also the reason why Xu Yang didn't know how much magic power was left when he was fighting with the black-robed man.

This is still the autonomous role of the black robe, if the mana is poured into it, although it will consume a lot of mana, it can block the divine consciousness of others.

However, as far as Xu Yang knew, this could only be applied to the monks of the Qi Gathering Period, and once they faced the monks of the Foundation Building Period, or those with strong divine sense, it would have no effect.

The magic weapon that Xu Yang likes is also a top-level low-level magic weapon, and the heart piercing cone is the best middle-level magic weapon.

As for the black-robed magic weapon, Xu Yang didn't know what quality it was, but it was definitely not low.

Although Xu Yang lost the Split Gold Sword and the Thick Earth Shield in the battle, even the Eight Directions Thick Earth Array Formation Formation Formation Instruments were also abolished. But the addition of these treasures makes its strength only stronger.

Xu Yang clearly felt that he had become stronger, and even made him feel the urge to go to Tianling Temple immediately to find revenge on his enemy, Tianling Zen Master.

It was only when he closed his eyes that he suppressed this irrational impulse.

After trying all the magic weapons, the only thing left of Xu Yang's interest was the two simple jade slips he deliberately left. Looking at their dilapidated appearance, you can know that they have been inherited a long way.

These two jade slips each recorded a magical power of exercises, and they were named the Nine Steps of the Wind and the Nine Transformation Immortal Recipes respectively.

The nine steps of the wind were obtained from Lao Liu, and Xu Yang saw that although the other party's body technique was not as good as when he used the cloud treading boots, it was not far behind, so he wanted to study it.

As for the Nine Transformation Immortal Technique, it belonged to the black-robed man.

The other party's seemingly endless mana made Xu Yang extremely hot. Therefore, after he glanced at the jade slip of the Nine Transformation Immortal Formula, he left it behind. Let's see if you can practice it yourself to increase your strength.

He first glanced at the jade slip of the nine steps of the wind, Xu Yang was only slightly curious at first, but then the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

Because the mystery of this supernatural power was far beyond his expectations.

In this jade slip, it is said that where the nine steps of the wind are practiced to the limit, you can take a thousand miles in one step. This is just one step, and if you can connect the supernatural powers, the distance will increase tenfold with each additional step.

The second step, thousands of miles!

The third step, 100,000 miles!

After that, it will naturally be millions, tens of millions, billions, billions, billions, and even hundreds of billions!

According to Yu Jian, one step of 100 billion miles is not the limit of this footwork, but because of this mortal space, from one end of the space to the other, you can only walk up to nine steps. It seems to say that this mortal space is too small to perform such a footwork against the sky.

After the corners of Xu Yang's mouth were surprised, he could only twitch the corners of his mouth.

He didn't believe too much in the general words in the jade slip, but that didn't mean he didn't value this footwork.

From Lao Liu's speed alone, it was enough to make him pay attention to it, so he didn't hesitate to study this magical power.

It's okay not to study it, but at first glance, Xu Yang really thinks that this exercise, even if it is not as rebellious as Yu Jian said, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary footwork.

In order to unleash this nine steps of the wind, it even requires the strength of the physical body, otherwise it will not be able to exert its true power. Even if it can really be displayed, without the support of a strong physical force, it will only end up exploding and dying.

After a little study, Xu Yang roughly understood this footwork. These contents are not complicated, but they are extremely demanding on the physical body.

Xu Yang originally had a little confidence in his body.

After all, the Vajra Immortal Technique itself is a superb body refining technique, and with the bonus of the Gathering Spirit Technique, Xu Yang is confident that the strength of his physical body is not weak among monks of the same level.

However, he was not more than ten million miles away from the extent to which he could break through the void with his powerful physical body as mentioned in the jade slip.

Therefore, Xu Yang only studied this Wind Nine-Step Divine Power a little, and then put it down directly, and he didn't even have the mind to try it first.

He thought that with the level of his physical body alone, the power he could exert should not be very good, so he picked up another jade slip and looked at it.

The Nine Transformation Immortal Technique, the best martial arts of a pure Xuanmen, may be even higher.

There are not many other benefits to cultivating this exercise, the most important thing is that the monk's mana is far superior to that of the same level, and the depth of mana when cultivating to the point of completion is twice that of a monk of the same level.

This is not the strongest part of this exercise, what attracts him the most is that this exercise can also greatly increase the chances of the monk advancing.

Because after cultivating this exercise, even if the mana is full and cannot continue to increase, it can still further compress and condense the mana.

Each time the condensation is carried out, the original mana must be compressed to the extent of one-tenth of the original mana.

This kind of compression is as high as nine times, which means that in order to truly achieve the consummation of a realm, it is almost necessary to fill the mana of this realm ten times in a row.

When the real mana is perfected, it can increase the chance of breaking through the bottleneck of the next stage by 20%.

This is definitely an extremely tempting temptation for Xu Yang, who has been unable to break through the bottleneck.

It's just that any exercise, in addition to its benefits, naturally has its drawbacks.

The Nine Transformation Immortal Recipe was originally the best exercise, and the speed of cultivation was extremely slow. If you have to compress and condense nine times after that, then it will take even more time.

In the introduction to this exercise, it is cautiously mentioned that once this exercise is cultivated, if it does not reach the level of consummation of the Nine Transformations, it will not only not increase the possibility of advancement, but will greatly limit the opportunities for the monk to advance.

In other words, once this exercise is practiced, the possibility of a monk advancing greatly increases. But at the same time, the time it takes has increased tenfold.

If the monk reaches the limit of longevity before the consummation of the ninth transformation of mana, the result can be imagined.

Suddenly, a dilemma was placed in front of Xu Yang.

Do you practice this exercise?

As soon as this question surfaced in Xu Yang's mind, he made a decision.

He shifted his gaze downwards to the specific content of the exercise. The mana in the body did not hesitate to follow the exercise route in the above exercises, and slowly operated.

Xu Yang's choice to practice this exercise was naturally not an impulsive move. He knows that his qualifications are limited, and the possibility of breaking through the middle stage of Qi Gathering is not high. Before, with the help of many pills, he still didn't succeed in breaking through, so he didn't have much hope.

Whether this exercise might help him break through or not, he won't say for the time being. Just saying that it would increase his mana was enough for him to make a decision.

Xu Yang's mana was already unable to advance an inch, and it was definitely beneficial for him to face the imminent battle with the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master at this moment.

As long as he can survive that battle, he doesn't care if he has enough time to advance in time.

Soon, Xu Yang felt that he had no upper limit of mana at all. In the cultivation of this Nine Transformation Immortal Technique, it was easy to break through.

This made his eyes light up, and there was no longer the slightest hesitation. Even if the cultivation is stuck in the early stage of qi gathering, this exercise must be cultivated.

Xu Yang put away the jade slip in his hand, and there was already an extra set of formation arrays in his hand. He threw several array flags in all directions, and they disappeared into the ground in an instant.

Then, he smashed several spells into the array, and in an instant, a faint white light curtain shrouded Xu Yang's surroundings for half a zhang.

This is a pair of mid-level magic array weapons purchased by Xu Yang, but it does not carry any offensive and defensive capabilities, it is just a simple spirit gathering magic array, but the level is one level higher than that of the spirit gathering array in Qingfeng Pavilion.

However, the cost of activating and maintaining it is also much higher.

In addition, the mid-level spirit gathering array set up in this place, because of the weak aura around it, is not much better than the low-level spirit gathering array in the fang market.

Xu Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a large number of spirit stones had already appeared in front of him, and there were hundreds of them.

He raised his eyebrows, and with a casual punch, he hit the pile of spirit stones.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of shattering continued, and soon these spirit stones turned into pieces and flew into the array.

Xu Yang immediately felt that the concentration of the aura of this Spirit Gathering Array had surged more than ten times.

After smiling at the corner of his mouth, he also took a spirit pill, and only then began to use the rich aura in this array to cultivate the Nine Transformation Immortal Technique.

Soon, the day passed.

Xu Yang's eyes flashed, and he opened his closed eyes. The spiritual energy transformed by the spirit stones in the array has been absorbed by it.

At this moment, although there is a formation effect in the array, the concentration of aura is only a little stronger than when the low-level spirit gathering array was activated in the Fang City.

With a move of his hand, the surrounding array flags flashed out of the ground and fell into his hands.

Not only was it the formation flag of the Spirit Gathering Array, but there were also several array flags shot from a little distance, and these were the formation flags of a hidden formation that he had laid before recuperating from his injuries.

After all, when recuperating from injuries, it is natural to be careful when the body is weak.

After Xu Yang put away the surrounding formations, his body flashed out of the cave and headed into the distance.

He kept moving forward, and his heart kept thinking. Although he had consumed hundreds of spirit stones, he had also verified the divine effect of the Nine Transformation Immortal Formula.

His mana had increased a lot, and if it weren't for the fact that time hadn't allowed it, he would definitely continue to cultivate.

But after staying there for a day, it was getting closer and closer to the time limit that the Qingxian monk had said. Although he still wanted to add some more mana, he could only give up for the time being.

However, the mana has increased a lot, which is also somewhat helpful for the fighting method.

Thinking of this, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and took out a jade slip in his hand.

He immersed his senses in it, and quickly put it away with a raised brow. The Wind Resist Technique that was originally cast suddenly turned into a strange footwork.

Xu Yang took a light step, but the distance he walked out was nearly half of the distance he had when he had used the Wind Resisting Technique, which made his expression slightly happy.

Then he walked faster and faster, and finally reached twice the speed of the original Wind Resistant.

But when Xu Yang wanted to continue to speed up, his body made a crackling sound, as if he was being severely squeezed. has reached the limit of the physical body, which makes Xu Yang sigh in his heart.

However, today's speed has far exceeded Xu Yang's expectations.

This Nine Steps of the Wind is in a short period of time, and it may even be more helpful to it than the Nine Transformation Immortal Technique.
