Chapter 22: Sword Valley

A roar suddenly sounded outside the battle platform.

Li Heng was a little familiar with it, yes, the previous game was so noisy at the end, but he was unmoved.

At this time, he was like a monster, the hair on his head had disappeared, and there were several places that were charred black, the silk armor coverage of his upper body was still intact, most of the skin on his arms had been roasted into black carbon, and there were several places where he was cracked to reveal light red fresh meat, exuding a faint smell of meat from time to time, and there was a hole in his left arm and right leg, faintly bone.

He staggered to Zheng Qi's side, and those noises suddenly became more and more intense.

Zheng Qi was still in the backlash of the exhaustion of spiritual energy, unable to move, this situation would continue for a word, he looked at Li Heng standing in front of him, opened his mouth to speak, but his throat did not obey the call, and he did not make a sound for a long time.

Fear, chagrin, sorrow...... But in vain.

According to the rules of the Dark Water Palace, you can get two pieces of equipment by killing, and you can only get one piece if you defeat them, and no monk will have trouble with the spirit stone.

Li Heng put the wind into his pocket and picked up Zheng Qi's spirit sword on the side, this low-grade top-level spirit sword was still shining brightly at this time, without the slightest sense of decadence of its owner.

With a flick of his index finger, a dragon-like sound of Qingyue rose up leisurely, and he said gloomily, "Good sword." ”

After listening to the dragon's chant, with a wave of the spirit sword in his hand, a blood mark gradually emerged from Zheng Qi's neck, and finally dyed half of his neck into a blood-red color.

He leaned over and untied the storage bag on Zheng Qi's waist, checked it, took out a gold wire bag from it, and turned to leave.

In the backyard of Qingyangfang Casino, Zuo Zhuang, who was half-lying on a rattan and bamboo chair with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and the person flashed into the secret room like a ghost.

The magic circle in the secret room suddenly no one opened itself, and a faint light curtain lit up, and a person in the light curtain stumbled a few steps, but finally failed to stand still, and sat down in the magic circle.

Zuo Zhuang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Li Heng who had left this magic circle a few hours ago, he immediately approached to check Li Heng's condition, and after a while, he found that the injuries seemed terrifying, but there was no fear of life, and some of the wounds were faintly showing signs of healing, which surprised him.

Li Heng also saw Zuo Zhuang in front of him clearly, and said slowly, "Zuo Daoyou will help me buy some elixir in the next favor." ”

"Ten years of purple roots, one year of yellow herbs, three years of green Su ......" After seeing Zuo Zhuang's jaw head, Li Heng endured the pain of cracking his flesh and skin, poured out nearly a thousand spirit stones, and said the names of more than 20 kinds of elixirs in a row, and asked Zuo Zhuang to come back with a copper jar.

Zuo Zhuang was very familiar with this Qingyang Fang, and in less than half an hour, he purchased all the elixirs that Li Heng had explained, and smashed them into a copper vat according to Li Heng's requirements, and then filled them with clean water scooped into the spiritual spring.

After everything was ready, Li Heng took off the silk armor and sat naked in the tank, only his head exposed.

Three days later, Li Heng got up from the vat, and all the injuries in his body recovered, but most of the spiritual spring in the vat disappeared, and the remnants were all dark black, exuding a fishy smell, and only some of the dregs of those elixirs sank to the bottom of the vat.

He looked at the restored arm, and his heart moved, and purple shards immediately appeared on the arm, but those shards were much denser than before, and the texture was clearer.

"Three-story realm. Li Heng muttered in a low voice.

This is also the reason why he spent nearly a thousand spirit stones, originally according to his body with a two-layer purple qi heavenly thunder physique, even if he didn't do anything, he could recover within ten days, and he faintly felt that the purple qi heavenly thunder had signs of breakthrough when he was barbecued by Yanlong, three days ago, this nearly thousand spirit stones were really not in vain, thinking that if he failed, thousands of spirit stones would be eaten as a meal, and his flesh suddenly hurt.

In addition to being happy, there are also some headaches, and in the future, the cost of cultivating immortals will be a lot bigger.

But now is not the time to sigh, he thanked Zuo Zhuang, went to Qingyang Fang to buy a few more elixirs, as well as nearly a hundred Bigu Pills, returned to the Qingyang courtyard, set up a sign outside the courtyard, retreat and do not disturb, and stayed in the courtyard hut to practice.

The biggest gain this time is the battle with Zheng Qi.

A low-grade top-grade spirit sword, a bag of nearly six thousand spirit stones, when he saw this bag of spirit stones, Li Heng was also startled, ordinary qi refining cultivators rarely save so many spirit stones, most of them can't make ends meet, where can they make a deposit. He estimated that this Zheng Qi would get it from the duel with others, and all of them were exchanged for spirit stones, and this bag of spirit stones was the most valuable one in the storage bag, so Li Heng naturally took it. It's a pity that the six thousand spirit stones have become elixirs in the blink of an eye, and they are used to feed the purple qi heavenly thunder.

In terms of exercises, the Purple Qi Heavenly Thunder had broken through to the third-layer realm, and in the future, it would only need to be cultivated slowly to stabilize it, and Li Heng of the Mixed Yuan Gong also really felt the slightest sign of breaking through the realm.

In the spiritual sea, the edge of the puddle of spiritual liquid has long since lost its previous stable appearance, and there is a slight crack in the barrier, and this crack actually slowly absorbs the spiritual energy in the spiritual sea, and there is a tendency to stabilize again.

According to the exercises, if this crack is made stable, it will be more difficult for Li Heng to break through the realm next time. Therefore, what he has to do now is not to refine the qi into the body, but to deplete the spiritual qi in the body, so that it cannot be replenished, and then expand the rift, and finally break the barrier, so that the spiritual sea can hold more spiritual liquid, and the martial arts will naturally be raised to the realm of the eighth layer.

Depleting the aura, Li Heng's current major in the Mixed Yuan Shield and Qingyang Sword Technique both have this effect.

Compared with the two, it is naturally faster than the mixed element shield, and after setting the method, Li Heng immediately went to the courtyard, took off the silk armor, and released more than ten mixed yuan shields in a row, breaking them one by one, and so on and so forth, just by going around the courtyard for a week, the spiritual energy in the body was consumed.

The aura was exhausted, Li Heng was slightly dizzy, and the silent luck purple qi heavenly thunder returned to normal after a few breaths, Zheng Qi must be surprised if he was here, but Li Heng had long been accustomed to this, since he cultivated the purple qi heavenly thunder, he seemed to be somewhat immune to the sequelae of the depletion of the spiritual energy, especially after entering the third layer, the effect became more and more obvious.

In the spiritual sea that had exhausted the spiritual energy, the crack pattern could not be repaired by the spiritual liquid, and there were indeed signs of expansion, not only the crack was a little bigger, but also a new crack appeared in the original smooth and complete place.

It's a pity that the state of depletion of the Spirit Sea cannot be maintained all the time, if this state lasts for a long time, it is very likely to cause permanent damage to the Spirit Sea, and the cultivation will fall into several realms because of this, and even become a wasted person.

The consequences are so serious, Li Heng naturally does not dare to take it lightly,

After the aura was exhausted, according to the experience of his predecessors, after maintaining the situation for half a day, he put on the silk armor again, sat cross-legged beside the small pool, closed his eyes and recovered his aura.

The aura of Qingyang Valley was already much richer than that of the outside world, and the side of this small pond was a little richer than the rest of the small courtyard, and the silk armor absorbed the aura by itself, and less than three hours later, the aura in Li Heng's body was full again.

After having an experience, Li Heng decided to maintain the frequency of depleting the aura once a day, so that the speed of the depletion of the aura is faster and slower, it is not so important, the signs of the breakthrough of the Mixed Yuan Shield are already very obvious, and the skill at hand is only three layers, and it is a bit of a waste to use the Mixed Yuan Shield to consume the spiritual energy.

As soon as the magic trick moved, more than 20 mixed yuan shields suddenly appeared in the small courtyard, and Li Heng no longer broke them, but took out the sword qi condensed by the slashing wind and smashed them one by one.

After that, there was a strange scene in the small courtyard, where a monk chased after the magic shield he released and slaughtered wildly, and the cycle continued. However, there are accidents in everything, once Li Heng inadvertently stacked more than ten mixed yuan shields together, and the slashing wind that condensed the sword qi failed to cut it with a sword, and the unprepared Li Heng's entire arm was shocked for a moment, and the spirit sword slashing wind flew to the side, this spirit sword was shocked by the magic shield, although it was not unique in the world of cultivating immortals, it was also extremely rare, fortunately, there was no one else in the courtyard at that time.

But even so, the aura consumed by the slashing wind is still less than thirty percent.

More than ten days later, the Mixed Yuan Shield rose to the third layer, and Li Heng, who couldn't bear to waste this cultivation opportunity, pondered for half an hour and remembered a good place to go-------- Wutang.

This martial arts hall is not like the battle hall and the instrument hall, there are hall masters, deacons, and other personnel with a clear division of labor, it is just a place, a place for Qingyang Valley monks to hone spells, sword tricks and other exercises, among which the sword valley where sword tricks are sharpened has a total of five independent venues, each field can only be entered by one person at a time, and a spirit stone is required to use it once.

The reason why it is charged by the time, rather than by time, is because there is a magic circle in the field, which absorbs the spiritual energy by itself and transforms it into various spells and sword energy, and attacks the monks who enter it, and with the increase of time, the attack strength gradually increases, and if the monks can't support it, they can stimulate the spirit runes given before entering, and the magic circle will automatically stop.

In order to encourage monks to cultivate, Qingyang Valley also set up some rewards, and gave corresponding points according to the ranking, so that the monks used it frequently, which made the sect earn a lot of spirit stones. Originally, there were only three plots, but later they became five to meet the needs of the monks.

Sword Valley, Li Heng paid a spirit stone, entered the venue, and just stood still, a spiritual light suddenly appeared in front of him, quickly condensed into the shape of a yin spirit, and came towards Li Heng.

But the Yin Spirit had not yet dispersed, and two more spiritual rays lit up in the magic circle, which quickly condensed into two fire spirits, and another sword, but Li Heng found that compared to the Yin Spirit, this fire spirit not only increased in number, but also increased in strength a lot.

After the fire spirit, the ice spirit, the earth spirit,......

An hour later, Li Heng's body was in a mess, he had long forgotten that this was the first wave of attacks, when the last trace of spiritual energy was exhausted, he activated the spirit rune in his hand, and a shield that enveloped his whole body suddenly lit up, and with a flash, the person was outside the magic circle.

As soon as his feet were weak, the whole person fell to the ground, breathing heavily, this real fight was indeed different from the practice in his own small courtyard, not only consuming aura, but also extremely consuming mind.

However, the effect is also very significant, and now that Li Heng has some combat experience in all kinds of spirits, this day's task can be regarded as complete.
