Chapter 331 It’s Him, Senior Chu!
Chu Ning looked at the five spiritual swords, her eyes showing excitement, but also feeling a little bit regretful.
After all, these five spiritual swords were not refined at the same time. Chu Ning's cultivation level was not high when the first three spiritual swords were refined.
It cannot capture the souls of eighth-level monsters, so in terms of power, it is naturally inferior to the following Golden Spirit Sword and Water Spirit Sword.
Especially the Water Spirit Sword, which is refined with the complete soul of a mature eighth-level monster.
Among the three first spirit swords to be refined, the Fire Spirit Sword was not bad, as it had absorbed a trace of the soul power of the Fierce Sun Spirit Bird.
The level of this blazing sun bird is extremely high.
However, the Wood Spirit Sword and Earth Spirit Sword are weaker in terms of power.
When the Five Elements Sword Formation is formed in this way, the power may not be maximized.
But after thinking about it, Chu Ning felt that it was not a big deal.
After all, the refining method of the Five Elements Spiritual Sword did not initially require the concentration of monster souls.
Chu Ning used black black gold to refine it, which can increase mana and is already stronger than the normal Five Elements Spirit Sword.
The increase in power of the two spiritual swords of gold and water is only further enhanced on this basis.
This does not reduce the power of the Five Elements Sword Formation.
If there is a chance in the future, just improve the power of the Wood Spirit Sword and Earth Spirit Sword.
It's a pity that the remaining eighth-level monsters in the Zhonghai area are all monsters with three attributes: water, gold, and fire.
If there were eighth-level wood and earth monsters, Chu Ning wouldn't mind hunting two more.
However, although the remaining spirit swords cannot capture the eighth-level monster spirits for the time being.
But it is still possible to make some small improvements.
That is to integrate this mysterious earth crystal into the flying sword that has been refined before.
At this moment, Chu Ning put the Water Spirit Sword into his body for cultivation, and his eyes fell on the four spirit swords.
After meditating for a while to recover some of his mana, Chu Ning began to ingest a piece of Xuanling Earth Crystal, together with the Golden Spirit Sword.
The next moment, Chu Ning opened his mouth and sprayed out a ball of pill fire, wrapping both of them together.
Several of Chu Ning's spiritual swords are his natal magic weapons. They have been cultivated and nurtured by his soul and elixir fire. Although the elixir fire is high in temperature, it will not cause damage to them.
And the Xuanling Earth Crystal began to be slowly refined and dissolved under such elixir fire refining.
Then, under the guidance of Chu Ning's Danhuo, it seeped into the spirit sword bit by bit.
After all of it seeped into the spirit sword, Chu Ning took it back into his body and began to continue using the pill fire and soul to nourish it.
Then Chu Ning followed the same method, until all four spiritual swords were fused with Xuanling soil crystals, then the refining of this magic weapon was truly completed.
At this time, Chu Ning took out a jade slip.
This jade slip was originally brought out from the Jiuhua Sect after it was re-engraved, and it contains the complete Five Elements Chaos Art.
Chu Ning had already practiced the previous content. What he wanted to do now was to practice the sword-driving method of the Five Elements Sword Formation.
As for the body-protecting divine light in the Five Elements Chaos Art, Chu Ning has been trying to practice it for the past month.
After practicing the Five Elements Sword Formation Driving Method and the body-protecting divine light in this room for several days, Chu Ning finally walked out of the training room and came to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
According to the time, today should be the time for Xue Jingzhi to condense the spiritual liquid.
However, when Chu Ning came to the elixir garden, she saw that the snow-white leaves of Xue Jingzhi had not become completely transparent.
This is a state where the spiritual liquid has not yet condensed, and it seems that it will take several days.
"Bai Ling!"
Seeing this, Chu Ning called Bai Ling over and said with some confusion:
"Have you not ripened this Snow Crystal Zhi recently?"
Recently, he has focused on refining the water spirit sword, and then practiced the Five Elements Sword Formation there. However, he did not use the Xuan Qing Hua Technique on Xue Jingzhi for some days.
But if Bai Ling had kept up the ripening process, it stands to reason that there wouldn't be such a big difference.
"I was just about to talk to the master."
When Bai Ling saw Chu Ning asking, he said helplessly:
"Master, you will know after you sense the spiritual energy for a while."
When Chu Ning heard Bai Ling's words, she suddenly became aware of it, and then she exclaimed in surprise:
"What's going on? This spiritual energy seems to be a lot thinner."
After saying that, Chu Ning seemed to react and said immediately:
"Is it because the spiritual energy of the hidden spiritual veins is consumed too much?"
Bai Ling nodded, "There is still not enough spiritual energy in the inner sea to replenish the spiritual energy consumption in the spiritual veins in time."
Chu Ning's brows raised slightly. This was the shortcoming of the hidden spirit vein.
Needless to say, the advantages of hidden spiritual veins are that they are concealed and once discovered, the level is good.
But the disadvantage is that it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more slowly than ordinary spiritual veins, so the hidden spiritual veins are often not large.
The hidden spiritual vein here is not big. In the past, it was basically enough for Chu Ning's practice and the cultivation of various spiritual plants.
But in the past year or so, Chu Ning first broke through the golden elixir and absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy in the later stage.
Immediately afterwards, the refining gold spirit seed completed the conversion of mana and absorbed an even larger amount of spiritual energy.
After that, the two golden thunder eagles also needed a lot of spiritual energy to break through.
In addition, the various spiritual plants planted by Chu Ning are of high level and absorb spiritual energy quickly.
With such a large amount of consumption, it has exceeded the limit of this spiritual vein.
Chu Ning also guessed at this moment that the water spirit sword he had refined a few days ago must have attracted a large amount of spiritual energy because he had condensed the souls of eighth-level monsters.
It has changed from quantitative change to qualitative change, which directly caused the lack of spiritual energy in the hidden spiritual vein to be downgraded.
Chu Ning simply came to the hidden spiritual vein at the bottom, and felt it carefully. Finally, he sighed and said:
"If the current spiritual energy release rate is maintained, this hidden spiritual vein can still support our cultivation for one or two years.
It seems that we need to find another place to practice, or simply go back to Iceland Fairy City."
After speaking, Chu Ning looked at the earth spiritual vein and took out a magic flag from the storage bag.
He threw it casually and inserted the magic flag into the array.
Then, Chu Ning cast several magic formulas on the flag.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the hidden spiritual vein began to overflow rapidly.
The speed was more than twice as fast as before.
Bai Ling saw this scene and blinked slightly.
Chu Ning said calmly:
"Instead of releasing the spiritual energy slowly, it is better to ensure the spiritual energy at the current stage first.
Anyway, we will have to move to another place later, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."
After saying that, Chu Ning took Bai Ling back to the cave on the ground.
After a while, he felt that the spiritual energy had become rich again.
Chu Ning walked into the spiritual medicine garden again, performed the Xuan Qingchun Huashu on Xue Jingzhi, and then walked to another medicine garden on the side.
Here, there are purple source fruits planted one by one.
Different from the blue shell that was just transplanted here more than ten years ago, the shell of the purple source fruit has turned blue-purple at this time.
If it was just this, Chu Ning would not be too surprised, but what made him more concerned was.
On this purple source fruit, he felt two completely different powers.
One was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that Chu Ning was very familiar with, and the other was the power called the origin of power by Master Jiu Yan!
"I really know very little about this source power. I originally thought that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and this source power could not coexist, so there would be a place like Wuling Island.
But this fruit contains both the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the source power at the same time, which is really magical."
Chu Ning guessed that the source power should be the power of the fruit seed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was absorbed later.
As for why it was not possible before, but it was possible after performing the soul-locking technique, even Chu Ning could not explain it clearly.
However, being able to blend two completely different powers at the same time still surprised Chu Ning.
Since discovering this ten years ago, Chu Ning would come to see the growth of this fruit almost every once in a while.
It's just that the growth of this fruit is too slow. Ten years have passed, and there is no obvious growth, and it is unknown how long it will take to mature.
However, Chu Ning was not discouraged.
On the contrary, he vaguely felt that the growth of this fruit might be related to some secrets.
After all, the Golden Thunder Eagle had produced beast crystals because it ate many source monsters in the Wuling Island before.
However, after arriving at the Iceland Fairy City and advancing, the beast crystal in his body disappeared.
After carefully looking for a while, Chu Ning left the medicine garden and continued to cultivate his magic weapon and practice the Five Elements Sword Formation.
In the following time, Chu Ning continued to practice peacefully on the island.
The young master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect did not appear again after leaving. Occasionally, some cultivators and monsters would mistakenly enter and were blocked by the formation.
A year passed in a flash.
On this day, Chu Ning stood on the island, looking at the place where he had stayed for more than seventeen years, and shook his head.
Then, he took back the formation equipment from every corner of the island.
After a year, the spiritual energy of the hidden spiritual vein under this island has been completely consumed.
There is no point in practicing here.
Many things in the spiritual medicine garden have long been put away by Chu Ning.
This set of formation equipment was also refined by Chu Ning for a long time, so naturally it cannot be left here in vain.
After Chu Ning took away all the array-setting tools, the island naturally appeared.
Chu Ning flew up into the air, looked at the direction, and flew eastward on the golden thunder eagle.
After all, he had not left the island for more than a year, and Chu Ning did not know what the current situation in the sea was.
About a thousand miles to the east was Baisha Island, a large island where many human monks lived. There was a teleportation array in it that led directly to Bingdao Fairy City.
Bai Ling also sat on the golden thunder eagle, but after flying five hundred miles, he got into the spirit beast bag with a golden thunder eagle.
At this moment, Chu Ning could not help but look at the other spirit beast bag.
The giant turtle, whose origin was unknown, was now staying in the spirit beast bag.
For more than a year, the giant turtle did not make any movement, and Chu Ning was a little worried at first.
But as time went by, this thought gradually faded, and he basically did not pay attention to it.
Since the golden thunder eagle was promoted to a level five monster, its speed has been much faster than before.
Seeing that the island was only a hundred miles away.
Chu Ning did not continue to release his spiritual sense to sense the sky, but at this moment he still sensed a group of cultivators not far ahead flying towards him.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found that there were at least 20 to 30 people, mostly Qi-refining cultivators, with only a few foundation-building cultivators.
All of these people looked panicked at the moment, and looked back from time to time.
Chu Ning's spiritual sense continued to extend backwards, and soon he found that there were five monsters chasing him from behind.
Four of them are third-order monsters, and one is a fourth-order monster.
Seeing this scene, Chu Ning was not too surprised.
After all, the one with the highest cultivation level among this group of people is only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and it is difficult to fight against the third-level monsters of the same level.
What's more, there are fourth-level monsters.
Chu Ning immediately commanded the Golden Thunder Eagle to fly towards the group of monks.
Although he is not a kind-hearted person, he saw a group of monks being chased by monsters and was able to save a few lives with just a little effort.
Chu Ning had no reason to turn a blind eye.
The Golden Thunder Eagle was much faster than the monster beasts behind it, and in the blink of an eye it had already flown to more than ten miles in front of the group of monks.
There were men, women, old and young in the group, and the middle-stage foundation-building monk with the highest cultivation level was an old man in yellow robes.
He is also the most sensitive to breath.
Chu Ning and the Golden Thunder Eagle were far away before and he couldn't sense them.
But at this moment, as the Golden Thunder Eagle got closer, the aura of the fifth-level monster immediately attracted the monk's attention.
Chu Ning's aura was relatively restrained, and he was not aware of it.
"It's over, there's a fifth-level monster ahead!"
The old man who was still leading everyone to flee stopped at this moment, with a look of defeat on his face.
The other monks suddenly stopped one after another, with frightened expressions on their faces.
"Fifth level monster?"
They can no longer deal with the fourth-level monsters. Now that a fifth-level monster comes, they will really die.
The old man nodded, turned around and said:
"Everyone should run for his own life. If you can, it's better to escape one by one. If it's too late, it'll be too late."
After the old man finished speaking, everyone fled in all directions.
But the next moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
The speed of the fifth-level monster was far beyond everyone's imagination. Just as a few people were talking like this, the monster had already flown hundreds of feet away from everyone.
Immediately afterwards, everyone felt a dark golden afterimage passing over their heads.
Before they could react, they saw a giant eagle passing them and facing several monster beasts that were chasing behind them.
I saw this giant eagle coming directly to the fourth-level monster that had been running for its life before, and grabbed it with a pair of sharp claws.
This fourth-level demonic beast was surging with demonic power crazily, but it was unable to resist it at all.
He was directly torn in half under this grab, making everyone look horrified.
But soon, everyone's attention fell on the back of this sculpture.
“There seems to be someone on the back of this eagle!
This is not a monster, it is a spiritual beast raised by us human monks! "
This discovery immediately filled the faces of more than twenty monks with joy.
Each and every one of them felt like they were surviving a disaster.
While everyone was talking, they saw the huge golden eagle grabbing another third-level monster.
Even the fourth-order monsters can't withstand a claw, not to mention the third-order monsters.
Killed with one claw.
Immediately, the remaining three demonic beasts fled in panic, and the dark golden eagle once again flashed an afterimage in the air and chased after them.
But the monks didn't have time to see what happened next.
But at this moment, they saw the figure on the back of the eagle. After the eagle flew out to chase, it had already flown towards them.
"I've met senior!"
Although Chu Ning looks young, the aura of a golden elixir monk is genuine.
After the old man sensed it, he immediately bowed and saluted.
The others also followed suit and saluted.
Several younger monks could not help but look up at Chu Ning, who was about the same age as them.
"Such a young Jindan senior is extremely rare."
The looks in these people's eyes couldn't be hidden from Chu Ning, but Chu Ning didn't pay too much attention at this moment. His eyes fell on the old man and asked:
"Where did you come from, and why didn't you go towards White Sand Island when you were being chased by these monsters?"
"Reporting back to senior, junior and others are coming from Baisha Island, which is currently being attacked by monsters.
We were all monks who were originally near the island. By the time we discovered something was wrong, it was already too late to return to the island.
Instead, he was targeted by these monsters and chased all the way. "
"Baisha Island is besieged by nine monsters? How many monsters are there? What levels are they at?"
Chu Ning asked as he completely released his consciousness and explored towards Baisha Island.
"There are many monsters and they are densely packed. I don't know how many there are and what level they are. I don't know how far apart they are, but I feel that there are quite a few fifth-level and sixth-level monsters..."
Before the old man could speak, he felt a figure flash in front of him, and Chu Ning's figure had disappeared in front of him.
I just vaguely saw a thunderbolt piercing the sky in the direction of Baisha Island.
"This senior is going to support Baisha Island. That's great. There is such a golden elixir senior, plus the spiritual beast just now.
It will definitely be able to repel the monsters surrounding the island. "
Several Qi Refining cultivators expressed their joy at this moment.
Only a few foundation-building monks did not have the slightest look of relief on their faces at this moment.
Although they were not close to the island just now, their cultivation level was higher than that of these Qi Refining monks.
They could feel that there were five and six levels of monsters in the surrounding island.
I'm afraid that even one golden elixir monk cannot completely reverse the situation on the island.
"Then what should we do now?" A young female cultivator asked at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were on the old man at this moment.
Among the crowd, the old man had the highest cultivation level, so he naturally had the most say.
The old man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's fly back to Baisha Island to see if there is a chance to return to the island.
Otherwise, if we encounter other monsters again, we may not be so lucky that a senior cultivator can save us."
Another foundation-building cultivator also nodded in agreement:
"I think so too! We will follow the Jindan cultivator just now.
Where he passed, if there were monsters following him, they must have been eliminated, and we are safe."
Immediately, the group flew back to the direction of Baisha Island.
When they flew to the vicinity of Baisha Island, they found that the number of monsters was much less.
Especially near this direction, there was no trace of living monsters at all.
There were monsters flying from other directions, and then they were soon killed by a familiar figure driving several flying swords of different colors.
When the old man saw this scene, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face showed surprise.
"He looks so young, and he can control multiple flying swords. It must be him!"
"Who is he?" The others asked in confusion.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Chu Ning, who was once famous among the Jindan cultivators in Bingdao Fairy City, Senior Chu!"
