It is a dark red spirit grass, shaped like an orchid, about a foot and a half high, but from head to toe it is carved from jade, shining with an attractive luster, and the slender leaves are more translucent, making people feel that they can see the fine lines in between, the juice bubbling like blood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Four leaves on the left and right, symmetrically spaced, with a dragon's whisker-like stem protruding from the center, and at the top of the stem hung a red fruit the size of a quail egg, like a ruby falling under a necklace.

It is said that this kind of spirit grass will only grow on the corpses of demon beasts that have achieved cultivation, and the stronger the demon beasts during their lifetime, the more leaves the spirit grass has, and the stronger the fruit it bears. In the book, it is said that the earth grass can grow up to twelve leaves, but it is very rare to have more than six leaves, and this one has eight leaves, which is clearly not a mundane thing.

At this time, Shangguan Yun understood why this vajra had to protect this plant until he died, because although the earth Xuan Fruit produced by the Earth Xuan Grass could not increase cultivation, it had a very special effect, that is, it could greatly enhance the strength and physique of the user.

If this already powerful Vajra took this Earth Xuan Fruit again, how much would that strength increase? Shangguan Yun couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart.

After carefully studying it for a long time, Shangguan Yun found eight cloud patterns on the Earth Xuan Fruit, seven of which had shown purple gold, and the color of the eighth was still a little dull, according to the records in the book, this was due to the fact that it was not fully ripe.

Then wait a few days, just use this time to deal with the corpse of King Kong, thinking of this, Shangguan Yun simply built a small shack here, and also used the fallen trees on the ground to lay some small traps and cover-ups, so that at first glance, this place is a pile of wood full of mess.

Although Vajra's corpse was large, it was useless except for the demon pill and the bones, Shangguan Yun didn't have much effort, and found the demon pill from the corpse, which was the size of a fist, much larger than the low-level demon beast, and the color was also redder, which made him extremely happy, thinking that maybe this demon pill would be enough for him to rush to the ninth layer of qi gathering.

Shangguan Yun didn't take the Demon Pill immediately, firstly, he was afraid that it would not be safe here, and secondly, he was waiting for the ripening of the Earth Xuan Fruit, since the Earth Xuan Fruit could improve his physique, it would undoubtedly be better to take the Demon Pill after taking it.

Three days later, the Earth Xuan Fruit finally ripened, Shangguan Yun carefully picked it and put it away, and left here with dozens of bone arrows made from vajra bones in three days. His destination was the egg chamber of the last discovered alligator, which was undoubtedly a safe retreat.

After more than ten days, Shangguan Yun finally returned to the egg room, after more than a load, this place has not been occupied by other demon beasts, but the traces of his life-and-death struggle with the bull head crocodile back then are completely invisible, and it has become a real empty valley.

After resting for a day and feeling that his physical condition was adjusted well, Shangguan Yun took out the Earth Xuan Fruit and swallowed it without hesitation. When the fruit entered his abdomen, Shangguan Yun felt a heavy smell of blood begin to roll in his abdomen, and he almost didn't vomit, so he hurriedly adjusted his breath to suppress it, and concentrated on observing the changes in his body.

As the Dixuan Fruit decomposed, streams of hot heat began to flow through Shangguan Yun's body, first blood vessels, then muscles, bones, and finally even the skin of the whole body began to heat up. A painful and itchy feeling made Shangguan Yun almost unable to hold on, it felt like thousands of ants crawling and biting in his body, and it was like being cut by a knife bit by bit like Ling Chi.

"Swelling, itching, pain, thirst!" Shangguan Yun endured all kinds of torture helplessly, trying not to let himself faint, but whenever he heard the "crackling" sound of the bones in his body, he shivered violently from pain, and couldn't help but wonder if he could bear it any longer.

In the end, Shangguan Yun began to give up resistance, and simply remembered everything and everyone he had encountered in the past few years, which slowly alleviated some of the pain, and gradually fell into longing and reminiscence.

"I still have to save my father and take care of Juan'er. Shangguan Yun pursed his chapped lips and said to himself in a low voice.

Three days later, Di Xuanguo's transformation of Shangguan Yun's body slowly stopped, and Shangguan Yun, who stood up from meditation, suddenly found that the clothes on his body were actually a lot smaller, and looked at the dirt on his body, he smiled bitterly and said to himself, let's go take a shower first.

After washing his body in the waterhole and swimming happily twice, Shangguan Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that he was not only much taller, but also his skin quality had improved a lot, and the tanned skin that he had originally tanned in the mountains and forests had become much whiter.

As for the strength, needless to say, he felt that even if he didn't use spiritual power now, he could break the backbone of an iron-maned beast with a single punch.

It's time to take that demon pill, it's less than four months before the day of the upper court's assessment, and it can't be delayed any longer! Putting away his joy, Shangguan Yun returned to the egg room and began refining the Vajra Demon Pill.

"I hope there won't be a risk of exploding this time!" Shangguan Yun took the demon pill with some trepidation, and felt that a stream of powerful and incomparable spiritual power began to rush to the meridians of the whole body.

"It's really amazing!" Shangguan Yun immediately concentrated his whole body, carefully maintaining the operation of the aura in the meridians, and refining the demon pill with all his might. Maybe it's because the Earth Xuanguo has improved Shangguan Yun's physique again, maybe it's because he has been prepared in advance, or because he is more experienced in training, although this demon pill is far stronger than the demon pill of the bull head crocodile, but there is no last crisis, Shangguan Yun concentrates on guiding the spiritual power in his body to operate, and little by little transforms the spiritual energy contained in the demon pill into his own.

Twenty days passed, thirty days passed, and Shangguan Yun sat there motionless. It wasn't until the fortieth day that Shangguan Yun, who was sitting upright, shook all over his body, and instantly burst out with a completely different aura from before, as if he had broken through the ninth layer that was the most difficult to break through during the qi gathering period.

Seven full days passed before Shangguan Yun opened his eyes, and at this time there was already some essence in his eyes, and he looked around and gradually faded again. At this time, Shangguan Yun slowly stood up and slowly walked to the outside of the cave, and in a moment of thought, a pair of waning moon scimitars had stopped in front of him, and the back of the knives was facing each other, forming the shape of a full moon. Shangguan Yun raised his feet and stepped on the full moon, his mind was urging, and the full moon immediately rose into the air, carrying Shangguan Yun slowly and flew up, circled in the valley, and slowly fell.

"Finally able to fly with the sword!" Shangguan Yun suppressed his excitement, after all, this was only the first step in his cultivation goal!

There was no hurry to return to Feiliu Valley, Shangguan Yun stayed here and cultivated quietly, with the support of the ninth-layer cultivation of the Qi Gathering Period, a month later, he finally practiced the Condensing Gold Determination and Danhuo Technique to the peak of the tenth layer, and the flying of the sword was also a lot more proficient.

In less than a month, it is time to go to the court for assessment, and it is time to go back! Shangguan Yun just stepped on that full moon and flew in the direction of Fenghua Town, no matter what, it was time for him to change his clothes.

Although the speed of the flight was not too fast, less than an hour later, Shangguan Yun still landed ten miles away from Fenghua Town, after all, he couldn't make too much movement.

In Fenghua Town, Shangguan Yun first bought two new clothes, put on the new clothes, and went to the restaurant to eat comfortably, and then gave Zhao Laowei and Deacon Ji a pot of wine respectively, and then walked slowly back to the lower court deacon hall along the main road.

"Deacon Ji, I made you a pot of good wine. Shangguan Yun looked at Deacon Ji with a smile.

Looking at the handsome and healthy young man in front of him, Deacon Ji almost didn't recognize Shangguan Yunlai, although his appearance has not changed, but his figure is suddenly much taller, and his complexion is a lot whiter, especially the pair of eyes under the thick eyebrows, which are very energetic, how can he not look like the somewhat rustic teenager in the past.

"Shangguan Yun, how do I feel like you've changed as a person?" Deacon Ji looked at Shangguan Yun in a daze.

"Isn't it a little taller? As for all the fuss, Deacon Ji, this pot of wine is for you. ”

"That's not right!" Deacon Ji carefully looked at Shangguan Yun for a while.

"You, you've actually gathered qi at the ninth level, it's only been more than three years, how did you cultivate? Could it be that Elder Zhao feeds you with pills as jelly beans every day?"

"Do you think Elder Zhao will?" Shangguan Yun couldn't help but be happy.

"Elder Zhao definitely won't!Ah, I understand, I'm going to get the demon pill again, right?, what kind of demon pill did you get this time?" Deacon Ji asked.

"Hey, Deacon Ji, you're all over there, and I'm still looking for you to have something!"

"What's the matter with me?"

"I want to ask you about the upper house assessment, and I want to sign up. Shangguan Yun bluntly said his intentions.

"Ah, the matter of the upper house assessment? I really don't know about this?"

"How could you not be clear?" Shangguan Yun asked incomprehensibly.

"This, I don't care about this, the upper house assessment is a matter of the Chuan Gong Hall, you should ask Elder Song when you have time, haven't you seen him. ”

"You really don't know?" Shangguan Yun still didn't believe it.

"I really don't know, you better hurry up and ask Elder Song. I have something else to do. Deacon Ji looked impatient.

Shangguan Yun never believed that Deacon Ji would not be aware of the assessment, but he did not dwell on it anymore, said hello to Deacon Ji and left the deacon hall.

"Where can I find Elder Song? Shangguan Yun muttered and walked towards Feiliu Valley, thinking that he didn't need to trouble others, just go back and ask Zhao Lao Wei if he would know, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Deacon Ji's gourd, which was obviously different from usual!

At this time, Deacon Ji in the deacon hall looked at the pot of wine sent by Shangguan Yun, and was muttering in his heart, obviously he was a good seedling, and he didn't know why Elder Li spoke directly and didn't let Shangguan Yun enter the upper courtyard, was it for that Juan'er girl?

Of course, Shangguan Yun would never know everything that Deacon Ji was thinking, and he was happily walking on the way back to Feiliu Valley.
