Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 544: Cultivation Progress: Xiao Qing Overcomes Tribulation

Rumble

The stone door opened slowly, making a dull sound.

After learning the news that Elder Yan was about to pass away, Liu Yu was inexplicably touched, and her mood couldn't help but become heavy.

Return to the cave to sort out your mood, and when the heart lake regains its calm, you plan to go directly into the practice room to practice.

But at this moment, there was a sudden huge fluctuation in the spirit beast bag!

Um?

Is it Xiaoqing?!

Liu Yu touched the slightly shaking spirit beast bag, and following the connection between the master and servant contract, he instantly sensed its current state.

At this time, Xiaoqing was in a very strange state, her spirit was a little sluggish, but her life essence was slowly improving, becoming stronger bit by bit.

Having been stuck at the second level peak for decades, are you finally going to break through the bottleneck?

This thought flashed across his mind and he quickly walked to the spirit beast room.

tread

Arriving at the spirit beast room, Liu Yu took off the spirit beast bag and poured it down. A huge black shadow instantly appeared in the cold, damp room.

The body is five to six feet long, with a waist as thick as a millstone. The skin is light blue and looks like green emerald.

Not only is the snake's head not flat in shape, but rather three-dimensional, and naturally a bit majestic.

Over the past few decades, Xiaoqing's appearance has changed a lot, and he is completely different from the Yinming Spirit Snake.

The skin that was once blue and black has turned into pure blue.

This means that his bloodline has completely transformed and has completely reached the spirit demon level.

With the level of the spirit demon bloodline, it is not difficult to break through the bottleneck of condensing demon pills.

Although for a monster, it is indeed very fast to advance to the third level in just over a hundred years.

But over the years, I have invested a lot of resources, so the foundation should not be unstable.

Dragon Blood Fruit, Spirit Feeding Pill, Demonic Beast Meat, Demonic Beast Blood

With the nourishment of so many spiritual creatures, Xiaoqing's foundation should be much stronger than that of ordinary monsters.

Many thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, judging the current state of his spirit beast and the possibility of condensing demon pills to advance to the third level.

Soon he was smiling and coming to a happy conclusion.

Sizzle

Xiaoqing opened her eyes with some difficulty, and breathed out the snake letter with difficulty, expressing her happiness and closeness to her master.

But due to its current state, it was a little listless and did not rush over as quickly as usual.

Promote well, little one.

Only after being promoted can you help me.

Liu Yu approached, reached out and touched Xiaoqing's head, conveying a message of comfort.

He could feel the pure and rich demon power as well as the active and strong blood in its huge demon body.

Both of them were very active at this time and were running along mysterious trajectories, causing Xiaoqing's aura to slowly rise.

The essence of life is transforming bit by bit, gradually approaching the second-order limit.

Sizzle

Xiaoqing spit out the snake letter listlessly, saying that he would definitely help his master, then he closed his eyes obediently and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

And its aura is still slowly rising upwards, and the demon body is gradually growing stronger.

Although the increase is not large, it is extremely stable. If this situation continues, it is very likely that the promotion will be successful after a while.

With spirit demon blood and a very strong foundation, Xiao Qing's success rate in condensing demon pills is very high, almost reaching 60%.

But these 60% are only theoretical data after all.

Whether the promotion can be successful in the end depends on its fortune.

Liu Yu murmured to himself, sliding his palms on his skin, feeling a smooth and cold feeling.

At the critical moment when the spirit beast was promoted to the third level, he was extremely calm and did not feel worried about gains and losses.

Just because of his current strength, having an additional third-level spiritual beast as a helper is just the icing on the cake.

In normal times, it may be able to provide considerable help, but the improvement in strength will not be great.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

I raised a spirit beast in the first place just to help me fight. I didn't expect that the strength of a monster with spirit demon bloodline would not improve as fast as my own.

But it's also good to use it as a vehicle or to protect the law when practicing.

I hope Xiaoqing will be promoted successfully before the Chang'an plan begins, otherwise I won't be able to take it with me on this trip and will have to stay in the sect.

Liu Yu shook her head, comforted Xiao Qing for a while, then walked out and closed the spirit beast room.

Monsters, like monks, must undergo the baptism of lightning when their life levels break through the third level.

If you are in the Hengduan Mountains and attract high-level monsters due to the huge commotion caused by the thunderstorm, it is tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, if Xiaoqing does not advance to the third level within ten months, he will not be able to take it with him on this trip.

When the time comes, they can only leave it to Jiang Qiushui or Ji Ruyan to take care of it.

When he came to the practice room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, took out the jade bottle containing Snow Shendan, opened the cork, took out one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gulu

After the elixir entered his stomach, he gathered his energy and concentrated his energy and began to refine his energy.

The skill Qingyang Gong is run over and over again, converting the medicinal and spiritual power released by the elixir into the special solid mana of Qingyang Gong, ice crystals that are smaller than dust.

Finally, it flows to a large lake of mana.

With the help of the two elixirs, Liu Yu's cultivation level was not slow, and he was now close to the peak of the early stage of the golden elixir.

Before the Chang'an Project begins, there is hope that it will reach its initial peak.

In terms of physical cultivation, it is a step faster and has reached the early peak. It only needs a suitable opportunity to break through to the middle stage of Jindan.

In terms of physical training, Liu Yu had better training conditions in all aspects, so he came from behind and surpassed Qi training.

As for refining gods, progress is very slow due to the lack of assistance from elixirs.

After several decades, it has only reached a range of seventy-eight miles.

But even so, it surpasses ordinary middle-stage Jindan monks and still has a huge advantage.

After cultivating to the peak of the early golden elixir, it is likely to be promoted to the eighty-mile range. If it breaks through to the middle golden elixir, it is likely to be promoted to the late golden elixir level.

Three hours later, the practice of Qingyang Gong was completed.

Liu Yu took a short rest and then continued to operate the Star True Body.

Hiss

As the technique started to work, the black robe on his body suddenly exploded.

His bronzed, powerful and beautiful muscles were once again exposed to the air.

One foot, two feet

The moment the Star True Body was activated, Liu Yu returned to his true body state, and his body size increased rapidly.

Soon, it exceeded the previous limit and did not stop until it was about three feet six feet.

From a distance, he looks like a giant sitting cross-legged in the practice room.

Even the very spacious practice room feels inadequate.

The progress in body refining has been a little too fast, and the strong accumulation has been exhausted.

It seems that it will reach its peak in the early stages and stay there for a while.

Unless you continue to absorb the power of the sun.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Liu Yu immediately gave up the idea when he thought that in order to gather the power of the sun, he must enter the supreme state.

The terrifying side effects made him shudder, and he had already decided to use it sparingly and with caution.

After adjusting his condition, Liu Yu's storage ring lit up slightly, and various auxiliary resources appeared in front of him.

He picked them up, swallowed them directly, or applied them on his body to assist in the cultivation of Star True Body.

With the assistance of these resources, even if the power of the sun is not absorbed, the progress in body training is not slow.

…

Time flies like running water, and nine months have passed.

The beast tide offensive continued to slow down, as if it was digesting the territory it had gained. Large-scale battles did not occur, but small-scale battles continued one after another.

However, in ordinary wars, there is no need for Jindan monks to take action.

Rumble

On this day, Qingyang Peak suddenly became turbulent.

Pieces of black clouds began to gather over Lingshan Mountain, and the colorful spiritual energy of heaven and earth quickly flowed towards Liu Yu Cave Mansion.

A thin but powerful spiritual pressure enveloped the entire Lingshan Mountain, and gradually became thicker.

The moment there was movement in the hall, Liu Yu's heart moved.

This kind of movement.

Xiao Qing has already condensed the demon elixir.

The next step is the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.

Through the connection of the master-servant contract, he instantly sensed Xiao Qing's condition and had already condensed the demon elixir.

And the level of life has officially reached the third level.

As long as you survive the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, this advancement will be completed.

With his thoughts turning, Liu Yu gave up the thought of leisurely reading and immediately made various arrangements properly.

First, all the formations were opened to allow Xiao Qing to absorb the spiritual energy smoothly, and then all the maids were informed to retreat to the mountainside to avoid being affected by the thunder tribulation.

He also left the cave to protect the spirit beasts so as not to cause misunderstandings among some unfamiliar fellow disciples.

Click

The dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and blue lightning flashes from time to time.

Sizzle

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qing, who had completed his transformation, appeared on the top of the mountain, spitting out the snake letter towards Jie Yun in an arrogant manner, as if he was issuing a challenge.

Due to Liu Yu's deliberate training, it is not as docile as ordinary spiritual beasts.

He still eats unprocessed and bloody blood food, maintaining his unruly and untamable wildness.

Click

Boom!!

Thunderbolts fell down one after another, landing on Xiaoqing's already ten-foot-long monster body. Suddenly, the flesh was torn open, blood dripped, and some terrifying wounds appeared.

However, this level of injury is not considered serious for a ten-foot-long demon body.

Xiao Qing's aura was stable and his fighting spirit was high, and he still roared at Jie Yun.

Click

What greeted it was the increasingly powerful thunder.

Even the ten-foot-long monster body still looks small under the calamity cloud, as if it will be destroyed in the next moment.

But Xiaoqing remained unruly, roaring at the sky with his own roar, using the magic that he had transformed into magical powers, and facing the thunder disaster head-on.

Rumble

Ice shards flew, and the ice attribute magical power was easily broken by thunder, falling on Xiao Qing's already torn monster body.

It is locked and cannot be avoided at all, so it can only bear it head-on.

It's too late, but it's too soon. The rhythm of the thunder falling is very fast, barely giving the target time to breathe, and only thinking about destroying the target.

In the blink of an eye, eight thunderbolts had fallen.

As long as you survive the last step, the tribulation will be completed.

But at this time, Xiao Qing's aura was extremely weak, and the huge monster body was dripping with blood, and almost no intact part could be found.

Under the baptism of Thunder Tribulation, its bloodline seemed to be further stimulated.

About half a foot below the head, there are convex bumps on the left and right sides. It seems that something is gestating in it and is about to complete some kind of transformation.

Could it be that the bloodline has evolved and is on the road to becoming a dragon?!

Liu Yu was shocked.

Although they are both of spirit demon blood, the dragon is much more powerful than the python in every aspect.

At the same level, the strength is stronger and the upper limit is higher.

If he transforms into a dragon, he will definitely have a bloodline more powerful than Han Tianying, and he will be a powerful helper.

Perhaps, I can keep up with my own pace.

Thinking of this, he was actually a little nervous.

I am worried that the spirit beasts that I have worked so hard to cultivate will die directly under the bombing of lightning tribulation, and hundreds of years of investment of energy and resources will be wasted.

But no matter what Liu Yu felt in his heart, and how serious Xiaoqing's injury was, Lei Jie had no intention of stopping at all.

Click Click

In the thick cloud of calamity, a thick blue and purple thunder appeared, falling straight towards Xiao Qing below.

This sound of thunder resounded among the beautiful mountains.

It seems that God has mercilessly pronounced a sentence to execute the creatures who go against heaven!

Blue and purple thunder fell, the dark clouds quickly dimmed and disappeared, and the sun was about to shine.

Ang~!

It seemed that after passing a certain level, Xiaoqing's roar was no longer a hiss, but a powerful and soul-stirring roar.

When it opened its mouth, pure ice attribute demon power spurted out, quickly condensing a thick ice wall in front of it.

Under the dim sky, the ice wall shines with beautiful blue luster, giving it a sense of indestructibility.

Moreover, demonic power is continuously injected into it, making the ice wall continue to become thicker and more solid.

But between the lightning and flint, the blue and purple thunder had already arrived and landed on the blue ice wall in an instant.

Boom!!!

The seemingly indestructible ice wall only lasted for a moment under the power of thunder, and then turned into ice shards and scattered all over the sky.

Without any obstruction, Thunder instantly enveloped Xiao Qing.

Ang~

With a shrill cry, Xiaoqing's chest was directly penetrated, and a huge bloody hole appeared.

Blue-purple electric light is constantly swimming around the body, destroying the vitality of the demon body.

After one blow, Xiao Qing's aura declined to the extreme, almost falling down three levels.

Already in a dying state, he kept making weak whines.

If it is a wild monster, it is almost certain to be dead.

not good!

Seeing that the last thunderbolt fell and his spirit beast was dying, Liu Yu quickly flew to the top of the mountain without having time to say hello to his fellow disciples.

He could feel that his spirit beast was on the verge of death, and of course he would not stand idly by.

withered

With his right hand, he waved out a piece of green light, and his magical power Wither was instantly activated, descending on Xiao Qing's demonic body.

The blue-purple thunder tribulation was instantly locked, greatly reducing its power.

The magical power Wither can not only target living beings, but can also work on energy, spiritual energy and other dead objects, and its range of effects is very wide.

Even the thunder of heavenly calamity cannot be exempted.

This is the domineering power of magical powers formed by inducing a trace of golden seal script power!

Then, Liu Yu took a deep breath.

Five fingers turned into claws, pressing on Xiaoqing's body, while the other hand slowly pinched the magic formula.

He actually planned to use the simplest and crudest method to directly extract the remaining tribulation thunder from his demonic body!

Zi Zi

Direct contact, under Liu Yu's active attraction, the thunder began to flow through the demon body to the palm.

Hmph~

He groaned, but it was nothing serious.

The Star True Body has been cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the third level. Not only is the physical body extremely powerful, but it also has good resistance to attacks of various attributes.

For Xiao Qing, the thunderstorm was unbearable, but for Liu Yu, it was just a slight pain.

The blue-purple tribulation thunder was finally guided out by the other hand, forming a lightning ball with blue-purple luster, and was finally put into a jade bottle.

In just two breaths, more than 90% of the remaining tribulation thunder on the little green demon's body disappeared.

Liu Yu stopped at this point and did not intend to get rid of it completely.

This power of thunder has many wonderful uses, especially for newly promoted creatures.

If you eliminate them all, you will miss an opportunity.

He took out a third-level healing elixir, fed it into Xiaoqing's mouth, and continued to encourage the little guy through the master-servant contract.

Although it is more than a hundred years old, considering the long lifespan of a third-level monster, it is still a little guy, equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old human child.

From this perspective, there seems to be nothing unreasonable about calling him little guy?

After getting rid of most of the calamity thunder and taking the healing elixir, Xiaoqing's aura became stable and finally did not deteriorate further.

However, the injuries caused by the Tribulation Thunder are not easily recoverable. Even with the healing elixir and third-level demon power, the repair speed is extremely slow.

The huge blood hole on its chest is still shocking!

The demon core has not been damaged, and the aura has stabilized.

As long as the injury does not worsen, with the strong vitality of the third-level demon cultivator, there should be no life-threatening danger.

So, you already have a third-level spiritual beast's mount?

Thinking like this, Liu Yu's eyes fell on the two bulging bumps on Xiaoqing's chest.

He secretly guessed that Xiaoqing's bloodline had further sublimated or returned to its ancestors, and its essence had improved a lot, and it had embarked on the road of transformation into a dragon.

Once you evolve into a dragon, your potential will be greatly increased!

PS: Sorry fellow Taoists, I fell asleep halfway through.
