Chapter 161 Difficulties between advance and retreat

Chapter 161 Dilemma
Hejiabao, Guanyang, and Shuanghutai are the villages and towns that Li Wuxiang passed by in the past few days.

What he thought before was correct. The disciples sent by the True Form Sect this time were all elites in terms of character. With the lessons learned from the three monks who died before, the Xuan Sect disciples in these places had not abandoned their posts and were still staying in the villages and towns.

There was nothing to say at this time. They were all the souls killed by his sword - no, even the souls could not be changed. He took them all to Lingshan according to Lou He's method and fed them to the resentful ghosts. There was no possibility that they could be summoned back by a spirit to ask about their circumstances before death.

The three places passed by all led to the Coffin City. Li Wuxiang's original intention was to let the people of the True Form Sect think that he was planning to use his Nascent Soul cultivation to sneak into the church and assassinate a few important figures.

His idea seemed to work, because this morning, he met two monks in the Spirit Refining Realm.

These Qi-refining disciples of the Zhenxing Sect scattered on the plain were not isolated and helpless. According to the information he had obtained through torture, there were still a dozen Spirit-refining monks stationed there, so that they could kill any lone swordsman as soon as they were spotted.

The two spirit cultivators must have sensed his intention to go towards the Coffin City and set up an ambush at Shuanghutai in advance.

If they had met in the wild and attacked suddenly, with his cultivation as a Jindan swordsman, it shouldn't have been difficult to deal with these two soul refiners. But this time, the two True Form Sect monks were waiting for the opportunity, and Li Wuxiang realized that things were not going well after he stepped into the Shuanghu Terrace.

The methods used by the two spirit cultivators were extremely brutal, but the first mistake they made was that they really thought that he was at the Nascent Soul stage, so their methods were a little conservative, leaving some room for themselves to retreat.

After Li Wuxiang escaped into the sacred mountain to avoid the first wave of killing moves, he immediately counterattacked and killed one of the cultivators in the Nurturing Spirit Stage. Afterwards, another cultivator in the Spiritual Division Stage with a higher level of cultivation realized that he seemed to be not a Nascent Soul, but a Golden Core.

At this time, he made his second mistake. Because of the serious injury Li Wuxiang had suffered before, he underestimated the enemy and was successfully counterattacked. The monk used his remaining breath to flee in the direction of the coffin city, and Li Wuxiang chased him closely. After fighting for nearly sixty miles, he finally killed him.

The price he paid was that he suffered the most serious injury since he woke up in this world.

By nightfall, Li Wuxiang had hidden himself in a crack on the mountain wall. After entering the crack, he found a huge python coiled inside, its entire body was green, its scales were shining, and there was a light red flesh line on its head, as if it was about to grow a crown.

This meant that this python was no longer an ordinary creature, but had lived beyond its natural lifespan, and had acquired some spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and had gradually begun to become capable. Since it had become capable, it would gradually become intelligent. Therefore, when it first saw Li Wuxiang squeeze in, it thought he was one of its kind, and opened its mouth wide to swallow him, but then it must have sensed the aura of a strong man on him, and immediately shrank its body, squeezed deep into the cave, and dared not move.

Li Wuxiang ignored it and stretched his body to examine the wound.

From the left shoulder to the right chest, the golden entanglement was torn open. This was the heavy blow caused by the first Yushen monk before his death. He tried to heal it several times during the pursuit, but failed. It must have exceeded some limit. The most important thing he had to do now was to treat this wound. Another thing was also very important, but it was almost the same solution as this one - Guang Chanzi's practice.

A few days ago, when Zhao Xuchen thought he was a Yin spirit in the Nascent Soul stage and was traveling, he used the method that Lou He used in the Coffin City to temporarily hide himself in the Lingshan Mountain.

The reason he could enter and exit Lingshan freely through the Xuanguang Mirror was because of Zhao Qi - Lingshan was like an ocean, and a beginner swimmer could not sink under the ocean. The connection between him and Zhao Qi was like a rope, which enabled him to grab the rope and dive into the deep sea.

Afterwards, Mei Qiulu taught him that if he wanted to break the spell, he should look at the connection between the spells of the True Form Sect monks and the Holy Mountain when they were performing the spells. The spells of the Xuan Sect monks were all given by the True Spirit of the Great Emperor, so as long as he could find that connection and then cut off the connection between the Holy Mountain and the spells of the living world, he could make the spell ineffective and break the spell.

However, Li Wuxiang put the method taught by Mei Qiulu to another use - when the monks of the Zhenxing Sect used magic, he could "see" the connection between the magic and Lingshan. Then he grabbed this "rope" and told himself to re-enter Lingshan. Then it looked like the Yin spirit was traveling and could disappear at any time.

But this method revealed its flaws when dealing with the soul cultivator today - the most important thing for a flying sword to deal with the Xuanjiao spell is the initiative. But if he wants to be as elusive as Lou He, he must wait for the cultivator to cast a spell. It's easy to deal with Qi cultivators, but when dealing with soul cultivators, losing this little initiative will result in such a painful price.

Therefore, he felt that he had to cultivate Guang Chanzi to the realm of Pi Jinxia first. This would increase his strength dramatically - the flying sword of the Jindan swordsman was already elusive, what if it was another Jindan who could escape into the Lingshan Mountain at any time? !

Now that his goal has been achieved, there will definitely be quite a few Xuanjiao masters led to the direction of the coffin city by him, and the pressure on the majority of the Sword Sect should be slightly relieved. Then he will go to the Tianxin Sect to see if he can get some information about the Netherworld Mother and find out who killed Jiang Jie by using his skin!

Guang Chanzi has a great advantage over other methods, that is, it does not require any natural treasures, but only one's own innate Qi. This Qi was supplemented when the foundation was built, and became more vigorous when refining Qi. Now the golden elixir has been transformed into Danli. Using this Danli to refine the golden skin should be stronger than what is recorded in the method.

So there was a problem - he was now in the elixir-nurturing stage. If he were to use the elixir power that had already turned into a golden elixir, he didn't know whether it would make the golden elixir unstable or even collapse. Even if he succeeded in refining the golden haze, his strength would not only not skyrocket, but would regress a lot.

It's not that there is no solution. Just like what Mei Qiulu said before, replenishing Qi and blood, and nourishing the golden elixir. These days, he killed two spirit refiners and five Qi refiners, and searched for a large number of elixir consumables from them. Li Wuxiang took these things out of his chest and abdomen and carefully counted them. It was a good harvest. But relying on these things alone, it is far from enough to replenish one's own Qi and blood and survive the elixir nourishment period.

He sighed in his heart, and felt that after he came into this world, this was the first time he realized the slowness of cultivation. His current mentality must have violated the taboo of being impatient for quick results during cultivation.

Do I have to wait for decades, until I can cultivate the elixir?
