Chapter 218: Mid-Stage Foundation Building

"But unfortunately, this Ghost Hiding Secret Art is only a fragment. To be precise, the Ghost Hiding Secret Art recorded on this metal sheet can only be regarded as half of the formula, which leads to a problem after practicing this Ghost Hiding Secret Art."

"That is, once the Ghost Hiding Secret Art is performed, it can only last for one hour, and after the secret art expires, it cannot be performed again within twelve hours."

"So theoretically, there should be another piece of this bronze metal sheet, recording the formula of the second half. Once it is practiced, this limitation will naturally disappear."

After hearing what Su Qiaoer said, everyone suddenly realized that this Ghost Hiding Secret Art was only half of the fragment, which can explain why Sihaiju would auction this secret art.

You must know that a secret art is extremely rare even in a large sect like the Ancient Xuan Sect, and it is also strictly hidden. Unless you have made great contributions in the sect, or some Jindan-stage cultivators with amazing qualifications, you may be given the opportunity to practice the secret art by the sect.

However, although this Ghost Hiding Secret Art is only half of the formula, it is also very precious. An hour of hiding time is enough for the cultivator to do many things.

So after Su Qiaoer said the flaws of this secret art, not only did no one show a disappointed expression, but they became more and more enthusiastic.

"The starting price of this Ghost Hiding Secret Art is 60,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each auction must not be less than 1,000 low-grade spirit stones."

After hearing the starting price of this Ghost Hiding Secret Art, Xiao Lin sighed in his heart, stood up and went to the back door.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, such a high price will at least be sold at a sky-high price of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones in the end. Although he is worth a lot, unless he takes out a large number of spiritual pills and spiritual herbs to exchange for spirit stones regardless of the risk, he will definitely not be able to bid for this Ghost Hiding Secret Art.

Once he took out a large amount of elixirs and spiritual herbs, even a fool would know that he must have a huge secret. In comparison, Xiao Lin would naturally not take such a huge risk for this incomplete ghost-hiding secret technique.

There were many cultivators who had similar ideas to Xiao Lin. After the auction of this ghost-hiding secret technique began, many cultivators began to leave the venue one after another.

After entering the back door, Xiao Lin came to the living room. After paying the spirit stone, he got the alchemy and the red melting pill, and then left Sihaiju.

After leaving Sihaiju, Xiao Lin did not return directly to the cave he rented, but continued to wander around the city.

Xiao Lin also visited all the shops he had not been to to see if he could find something suitable.

He wandered around until the afternoon, and the sky gradually became cloudy. After confirming that no one was following him, Xiao Lin went to the cave he rented.

An hour later.

Xiao Lin sat in the training room, still with a regretful expression on his face. The last auction of the Ghost Hidden Secret Art really made Xiao Lin jealous, and he was a little annoyed that he couldn't bid for it. If he could practice this Ghost Hidden Secret Art.

It would undoubtedly give him another trump card. Even if Liu Mei came to him, he couldn't beat her, but it would be very easy to escape, unlike now. Once she stuck to him, it would be very difficult to get rid of her.

After a moment of annoyance, Xiao Lin slowly calmed himself down. Although this trip to the Sihaiju auction was a bit regrettable, he finally achieved his goal.

He took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, opened it gently, and poured out a brown elixir with a faint fragrance.

He held it in his hand for a while, and after checking it and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the elixir, Xiao Lin put the Chirong Dan back into the jade bottle and put it into the storage bag.

Xiao Lin first checked the spirit beast bag and found that half of the snow-white eggs had hatched into small spirit-eating fire insects. These small spirit-eating fire insects covered a pile of spirit mist grass and rejuvenation flowers and ate them happily.

After sensing the breath of the spirit grass, the newly hatched spirit-eating fire insects twisted their fat bodies and moved towards the spirit mist grass and rejuvenation flowers.

After confirming that the spirit-eating fire insects were all normal, Xiao Lin withdrew his spiritual consciousness. After a little thought, he took out a water spirit pill from the storage bag, put it in his mouth, and began to practice the "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue".

Three days later.

Xiao Lin opened his eyes from his meditation and silently felt the rolling mana in his body. After three days of meditation, his spirit and energy were adjusted to the best state.

Xiao Lin closed his eyes again and recalled the formula about returning to the origin in the "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue". After confirming that it was correct, he opened his eyes again. He first took out a water spirit pill and swallowed it.

He kept reciting the formula of "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue" in his heart. After an unknown period of time, Xiao Lin felt that the aura of his whole body was converging into his body, and the little magic power that was emitted from his body began to return to his Dantian through the acupoints all over his body.

Not only that, his five senses were actually blurred, and there were also waves of slight dizziness in his mind. He seemed to have a feeling of life passing away.

Xiao Lin knew that once the Guiyuan formula was activated, there would be no room for maneuver.

With a light sigh, Xiao Lin took out the Chirong Pill from the storage bag, gently put it into his mouth, and then put his hands on his knees in front of him, and his spiritual consciousness was inward, completely collected in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The skin on Xiao Lin's body that was still exposed to the outside was actually covered with a layer of withered color.

Half an hour later, Xiao Lin had already passed away, without any breath, and completely entered a state of desolation.

Spring went and summer came, autumn passed and winter passed, and three years passed quickly.

Cold and hot alternated, but Xiao Lin in the secret room was like an old monk in meditation, completely in a state of extinction. Xiao Lin was already covered with a thick layer of dust.

At this moment, Xiao Lin could not see the slightest breath of a living person, his whole body was shriveled, and even his breathing had stopped.

But in this dead silent secret room, one could faintly hear the sound of waves hitting the shore, as if he was in front of a vast ocean, watching the ebb and flow of the tide in front of him, and the waves hitting the rocks.

Soon, the sound of waves hitting the shore became louder and louder, reverberating in this closed stone chamber.

Suddenly, a dark green spiritual light suddenly burst out from the body of the desolate Xiao Lin, and the spiritual light formed a circle, from the top of his head to his feet, countless circles spread out, layer by layer, circle by circle, just like waves, shaking and slashing on the surrounding walls.

The surrounding walls were immediately cut into neat gaps, which was shocking.

The dust on Xiao Lin's body also disappeared at the moment when the dark green spiritual light flashed. His desolate face also changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The desolate hair and wrinkled face became full in an instant.

The gray hair also turned black again at a speed visible to the naked eye, but compared to three years ago, Xiao Lin's hair became a foot long.

Then, a green flame suddenly emerged from Xiao Lin's body, covering him in a layer of cold flames.

The ground, walls, and cave ceiling in the secret room all condensed into a thick layer of ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a hazy green spiritual light.

Xiao Lin suddenly opened his eyes, and two blue lightning flashed from his eyes. The next moment, an astonishing spiritual pressure emanated from him. Wherever the spiritual pressure passed, the ice on the ground, walls, and cave ceiling shattered.

The sound of "crackling" was endless.

Feeling the powerful mana in his body that was several times stronger, Xiao Lin smiled.

After three years of seclusion, he finally entered the middle stage of foundation building.

Gathering all the mana and spiritual pressure that escaped when breaking through the realm, Xiao Lin looked at the dense gaps on the wall and showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

After entering the middle stage of foundation building, the power of several of his spells will be greatly improved.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, with his current perfect wind escape technique, it should not be a problem to escape from Liu Mei's pursuit. Of course, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could defeat Liu Mei, a perfect cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, with his mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

But Xiao Lin was still somewhat confident about running away after the encounter.

It has been nearly ten years since he left Dancao Mountain. It took him ten years to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was an extremely amazing speed. However, Xiao Lin was also very clear that if he did not have enough Shuiling Pills to assist in cultivation, and the help of the Chirong Pills he bought at the Sihaiju auction, he would not be able to enter the mid-stage Foundation Establishment in such a short time.

After entering the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, Xiao Lin's Xuanqi Hanyan Jue had entered the fourth level. The next time would be the fourth mana tempering. Now the mana in Xiao Lin's Dantian was at least twice as deep as that of an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Such a deep mana, but in terms of quantity, it is even very close to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Of course, when cultivators fight, it is not just about mana, the suppression of realm sometimes exceeds everything.

This is like if Xiao Lin encounters a Jindan ancestor, even if this Jindan ancestor only uses magic weapons, it is enough to kill Xiao Lin on the spot.

However, if he encounters an ordinary late foundation building or even a great perfection cultivator, Xiao Lin is still very confident that he can fight with him and not lose at all. After all, the power of several spiritual weapons plus the fused Qingyan spiritual fire has been greatly improved after he entered the middle stage of foundation building.

The only thing Xiao Lin fears about Liu Mei is the two spiritual weapons in her hand. The small seal spiritual weapon is actually the same as his Sanyuan magic flag, which is a high-level spiritual weapon. Although the Qingdeng spiritual weapon is a mid-level spiritual weapon, for some reason, Xiao Lin feels a sense of fear when he sees the Qingdeng spiritual weapon. It seems to Xiao Lin that it is more powerful than the Sanyuan magic flag.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin did not make a decision whether to return to the mountain. Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Lin simply didn't think about it for the time being. After a little contemplation, he sank his spiritual consciousness into the spirit beast bag again.

When he saw the scene in the spirit beast bag, he was stunned.
