Chapter 121 Spiritual Religion, Immortal Ruins

Sure enough, after eating the second-level martial arts food, the martial arts avatar of the Nine-Zhan God Thunder Sword moved, swung a sword with condensed energy, and practiced the Nine-Zhan God Thunder Sword.

After the food was digested, the clone stopped.

"One pound of level two martial arts food can only increase the progress by 2% at the entry level."

Lu Yan's face looked a little ugly.

Extremely inefficient.

According to this calculation, the cost of improving first-rate martial arts is far higher than that of second-rate martial arts.

Second-rate martial arts only requires first-level martial arts to improve. In the entry-level stage, one pound of first-level martial arts can increase the progress by 10%.

The price of second-level martial arts is five times that of first-level martial arts.

Although it takes nine second-rate martial arts to merge into one first-rate martial arts, the cost is still nearly three times lower than directly upgrading to first-rate martial arts.

But Lu Yan decided to improve his martial arts skills.

Because by improving your first-class martial arts, you can develop acquired martial arts, which can permanently enhance your various attributes.

Second-rate martial arts has become ineffective.

Just for those permanently improved attributes, it is worth spending no matter how much it costs.

But in this case, a lot of second-level martial arts are needed, and you have to learn to cook them yourself.

Immediately, Lu Yan came to Wu Kitchen and learned from Zhou's Wu Kitchen how to cook the second-level Yinuo lizard meat.

The recipe for the second-level Yinuo lizard meat was given by Lu Yan, and the meat of the exotic beasts was also provided by Lu Yan. Naturally, the martial arts chefs of the Zhou family would not hide their secrets and would tell them everything they knew.

In addition to practicing martial arts every day to improve his cultivation, Lu Yan focused exclusively on the second-level Yinuo lizard meat.

Even so, it took Lu Yan two months to barely manage to get a second-level Yinuo lizard meat and successfully get started. It took him longer than the Nine-Zhan God Thunder Sword.

After getting started, a second-level Yi Nuo lizard flesh clone was condensed.

But what left Lu Yan speechless was that the improvement of the second-level Yinuo lizard clone also required a second-level martial food.

Infinite loop.

If you want to improve rapidly in a short period of time, you can't do it. You can only accumulate slowly.

Sharpening the knife will not make you a chopping wood.

Lu Yan temporarily used all the second-level martial arts food to improve the second-level Yinuo lizard meat.

After the second-level Yinuo lizard meat is improved, the progress in other aspects will naturally speed up.

Lu Yan's daily schedule is very fulfilling, and he can't feel the passage of time at all.

In a blink of an eye, another half year has passed.

Counting the time, it has been more than five years since Lu Yan and the others moved to Baicao City. Lu Yan is already a twenty-four-year-old young man and is about to turn twenty-five.

In half a year, the second-level Yinuo lizard meat finally reached perfection.

Such a heat has surpassed most high-end martial arts chefs.

Not to mention other martial arts, just talking about the second-level Yinuo lizard meat, it is not much worse than some martial arts masters.

The success rate is over 80%.

At this time, Lu Yan only asked Zhou's martial arts chef to cook first-level martial arts food and second-level martial arts food, all by himself.

In his exclusive martial arts kitchen, there are thousands of kilograms of blood-armored lizard meat piled up.

Finally, I no longer have to worry about being exposed.

His exclusive martial arts kitchen, no one else can enter except him.

Lu Yan started cooking according to the cooking steps of the second-level Yinuo lizard meat. Every step was like flowing water without any confusion.

On the second day, the aroma was fragrant in Wu's kitchen.

Ten pounds of second-grade Yinuo lizard meat, successful.

Lu Yan ate so much that he used all of it to improve the Nine-Slash God Thunder Sword.

The Nine-Slash God Thunder Sword clone that had not been used for more than half a year was activated again. Seeing the rapid improvement, Lu Yan felt extremely comfortable.

Finally got over it.

Keep cooking.

This time, Lu Yan increased the portion and cooked twenty kilograms of blood-armored lizard meat at one time.

This amount is his current upper limit.

Late at night, the wind was biting.

In a secret room in Li Wenxuan's mansion, two figures sat opposite each other.

One of them is none other than Junzijian Li Wenxuan.

The other person is a woman in her forties. Although she is no longer young, she still has charm and an extremely explosive figure. Her whole body exudes charm.

"Li Wenxuan, how are you thinking? This is the third time I'm looking for you, and it's also the last time. If you don't respond again, I'll turn around and leave, and I won't come back again."

The middle-aged woman said.

"Communicating with martial spirits is a crime of annihilation. Please forgive me for not being able to agree."

Li Wenxuan answered calmly.

"Yeah?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth and she said: "Since you have seen me three times in a row and did not push me out, it means that you are hesitant and you have been shaken."

Li Wenxuan was silent.

"Actually, with the current situation, you have no choice but to take the path of martial arts. You have been practicing too hastily and injured your meridians. It will take at least five years to recover. Li Wenxin will not stop and wait. you."

"Furthermore, Li Xingyuan seems to be gradually favoring Li Wenxin. Your Li family's next heart bead of the king-level alien beast will most likely be given to Li Wenxin to help him break through the Neijin Grandmaster. Once Li Wenxin breaks through the Neijin Grandmaster, you will Is there still room for one lineage?”

The middle-aged woman's words were like swords, striking directly into Li Wenxuan's heart.

"You really worked hard to persuade me."

Li Wenxuan said.

"But it works, doesn't it?" the woman chuckled.

Li Wenxuan was silent again.

The middle-aged woman's words spoke to his heart and revealed his current situation in a bloody way.

He and Li Wenxin had been the twin prides of the Li family since they were young. They were the two bright stars of the Li family and were cultivated as candidates for the future head of the family.

But only he knew that his martial arts talent was still inferior to that of Li Wenxin.

In order to make up for the gap in talent, he practiced hard, harder than others, and harder than Li Wenxin.

Only in this way can we barely keep up with Li Wenxin.

But after reaching the peak of Wuhou, the gap in talent gradually became apparent. No matter how hard he tried, he gradually began to be unable to keep up with Li Wenxin.

He was unwilling to give in and worked harder, but because of this he acted too hastily and hurt his own meridians.

As the woman said, it would take at least five years for him to recover.

His original talent was not as good as Li Wenxin's. If he lost another five years, how could he catch up with Li Wenxin?

Five years later, he was no longer able to compete with Li Wenxin.

It takes an average of thirty years for a copy of the heart beads gathered by the alienated beast king to be released, and when that time comes, it will definitely be given to Li Wenxin first.

As the woman said, does he still have a choice?

"You don't dare to choose the path of martial arts, are you afraid that you won't be able to suppress your evil transformation?"

"Actually, those who can cause evil changes are just mediocre people. The real heroes are firm-willed, have great goals and great wisdom, and will never let the martial arts turn against the guest. Look at me, isn't that normal?"

"As long as there is no malignant change, no one will discover it. How can there be any talk of genocide?"

The middle-aged woman continued to persuade.

Li Wenxuan was silent for a while, then said: "Who are you? What is the purpose of letting me follow the path of martial arts?"

The middle-aged woman smiled.

She knew that Li Wenxuan had already made his choice.

Otherwise, I wouldn't ask this because it makes no sense.

"I can answer you all these questions. First of all, I come from the Spiritual Cult."

The woman said.

Spiritual religion!

Given Li Wenxuan's state of mind, he couldn't help but tremble. His pupils shrank sharply, showing a look of horror.

"The spiritual sect that brought trouble to the Great Ancient Dynasty and indirectly led to its demise?"

Li Wenxuan asked.

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "So you should know that our understanding and mastery of martial arts is not comparable to those of ordinary wild cultivators."

"As for our purpose, it is very simple. To help you rule the Li family, and then unify Nanyi County, and then move north to unify the six counties in Lingdong."

The woman said.

"You really think highly of me. Even if I take the path of martial arts, it will be difficult to unify the six counties of Lingdong, even if I unify Nanyi, let alone the six counties in Lingdong."

Li Wenxuan said.

"It's impossible for you to do it alone. Someone will act with you when the time comes."

The middle-aged woman said.

Li Wenxuan narrowed his eyes and said, "There are people from other clans including you."

"This is a secret of the Holy Religion. I have no comment. Let me tell you, how do you choose?"

The woman said.

"Do I still have a choice?" Li Wenxuan asked.

The woman smiled and said: "You will know how wise your choice is in the future. I can guarantee that after communicating with the martial arts, your injuries will be healed in less than three months, and you will be able to gain inner strength within five years." Grandmaster."

"Five years? That's enough."

Li Wenxuan clenched his fists.

Li Wenxin will never be able to defeat the Grandmaster within five years, because Li's alienated beast king cannot mature within five years, and it will take at least seven or eight years.

After a while, he loosened his fist and said: "I'm very curious as to why you chose me. Among the Lis, isn't Li Xingyuan more suitable? He doesn't have much life left, so he has a greater chance of taking risks."

Li Xingyuan is the ancestor of the Li family and the current head of the family.

"We have already sent people to contact Li Xingyuan and secretly probed into Li Xingyuan's words. However, this is an old stubborn man who values ​​the Li family more than his own life. He would rather run out of life and die of old age than bring about the annihilation of the Li family. The disaster, in the final analysis, is just lack of confidence in oneself.”

The woman smiled.

Li Wenxuan flashed a complicated expression, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"What about the ritual method of communicating with martial spirits?"

Li Wenxuan said.

"No rush, I'll give it to you in three days. Since you have chosen to take the path of martial arts, there is an important thing that you must do."

The woman said.

"What's the matter?"

"In a month, your lineage and Li Wenxin's lineage will compete for the ownership of four first-level bloodlines, right?"

The woman said.

"Yes, does it have something to do with this?" Li Wenxuan asked.

The two major factions compete fiercely. This competition includes competition among martial arts masters and competition for resources.

And blood veins are undoubtedly the most important resource.

It is the source of martial arts.

In addition to one second-level blood line, the Li family also has more than a dozen first-level blood lines centered on Baicao City, all of which belong to the Li family.

Expanding further outward, there are still some first-level blood lines occupied by Wuhou-level clans, but they are all affiliated with the Li family and must pay tribute every year.

The two major factions each control part of the bloodline, but they have an agreement that every five years, the two factions will compete with their masters. Whichever side wins will have priority.

For example, this time, there are four blood veins that need to be re-determined.

Whoever wins will have priority in choosing two bloodlines.

They are both first-level blood earth veins, but the quality is also uneven. The earth blood energy can be strong or light, and the number of exotic beasts that can be captured varies greatly.

"The Holy Cult consulted a large amount of information and learned that there may be a piece of 'immortal bone' buried in the blood vein in Dingxing City."

The woman said.

"Immortal bones?"

Li Wenxuan was shocked again and said: "Immortals are just legends. Are there really immortals in the world?"

"If there are demons, why are there no immortals?"

The woman asked back, and Li Wenxuan was speechless.

"Beyond the six counties in Lingdong, there are immortal ruins on the vast land. There are immortals in the immortal ruins. During the heyday of the Chu Dynasty, martial arts masters would be organized to hunt immortals in the immortal ruins every once in a while. It was the most popular place in the world. It’s such a high-profile event, you’re too ignorant.”

"Immortal bones contain immortal power and have a great suppressive effect on martial spirits. If you get it, it will definitely help you suppress evil changes."

"So this time, you must win in order to hold the blood veins in Dingxing City in your hands. Digging out the immortal bones inside will be of great benefit to you and me."

The woman said.

Li Wenxuan nodded, his eyes sharp and firm.

At dawn, Wang Dao ran to the Sanjue Martial Arts Hall to learn sword skills from Lu Yan.

"Brother Lu, I had good food and drinks at your house last time. This time I went to my house, and I also prepared wine and meat. This time we will have a good fight with each other for a month."

Wang Dao warmly invites.

"One month? Brother Wang's sword skills are about to break through?"

Lu Yan was stunned.

"It's still early for a breakthrough. I'm just preparing for war."

Wang Dao said.

"Preparing for war? Is the Li family going to war with other clans?" Lu Yan was confused.

"of course not."

Wang Dao shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Lu really turned his back on what was going on outside the window and devoted himself to cultivation. No wonder he has achieved such success. It was not a war with other sects, but to deal with Li Wenxuan's lineage."

"Master Wenxin and Li Wenxuan have each mastered some blood veins, but these blood veins are good and bad and cannot be occupied for a long time. They rotate every five years. After passing the competition, the winner has the priority to select the blood veins."

"Is that so? What kind of competition method?"

Lu Yan asked.

Of course he didn't want to participate, he was just curious.

"It is mainly a competition between Wuhou. It is divided into five games. From the first level of Wuhou to the fifth level of Wuhou, both sides have one player each. Three wins out of five games."

"Lord Wenxin, I will be the one to appear at the first level of Wuhou. Originally, for the first level of Wuhou, I wanted to recommend Brother Lu, but Lord Wenxin thinks that I am sure to win the first level of Wuhou, so there is no need to bother Brother Lu. "

Wang Dao explained.

Lu Yan smiled inwardly.

It's a lie that he doesn't need to bother. He probably doesn't know his strength and doesn't feel comfortable sending him on the field.

But this is better.

His cultivation level has reached the second level of Wuhou. If he is really sent to play, it will be troublesome.

"If I win this battle, I will reward you with three hundred catties of second-level martial arts food. Brother Lu will accompany me to practice swordsmanship for a month, and then I will give you one hundred catties as a gift."

Wang Dao said.

"There's no need for this. Brother Wang can keep it for his own use. Besides, it will also be beneficial to me to learn sword skills."

Lu Yan declined.

He was not being polite about this.

It is really beneficial for him to compete with sword masters.

Although Taoism can automatically cultivate martial arts and quickly improve the level of martial arts.

He can master the essence of martial arts perfectly and have it at his fingertips.

But there is a difference between mastering and actual combat.

Actual combat requires adaptability, as well as experience and mentality against the enemy.

If you don't have enough experience and have a bad mentality, even if you perfectly master the essence of martial arts, you may not be able to fully display it in actual combat.

For example, when he fought against the female killer in Qingyang City, he was passive at every turn because of his lack of experience. In the end, he relied on his powerful strength to suppress his opponent.

Therefore, Lu Yan would not refuse if there was someone to discuss the matter with.
