Chapter 512 Bald Man
After putting away the silver medal, Xiao Lin's star ring flashed, and then a piece of lavender metal the size of a human head appeared in his hand. The surface of the metal flashed with tiny purple lightning and made a "crackling" sound.
Seeing this piece of lavender metal material, Xiao Lin showed an ecstatic expression on his face, and his hands trembled with excitement.
It turned out that this lavender metal was called "Purple Thunder Stone", which is also a top-level material for refining magic weapons. The reason why Xiao Lin was excited was that after the "Purple Thunder Stone" was purified, it could be refined into "Purple Thunder Crystal", which is the main material for refining the Qingluan Thunder Sword.
While wandering around the major immortal cities in the Eastern Territory, Xiao Lin had been looking for the traces of "Purple Thunder Stone", but he had never found anything. He had planned to give up refining the Qingluan Thunder Sword temporarily.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all effortless. Zou Jingyang, his great enemy, actually gave him this great gift. In comparison, this "Purple Thunder Stone" is what Xiao Lin needs most at this stage.
The purple thunder stone naturally contains the innate purple thunder. Once the Qingluan Thunder Sword is refined, the innate purple thunder can be condensed in the sword body, which is specially used to break the evil magic of demonic energy and the mysterious light of the immortal way. It can be said to be the nemesis of all evil demons.
If Xiao Lin can refine the Qingluan Thunder Sword, it will undoubtedly greatly improve his combat power. With the Qingluan Ice Sword, it will play an unexpected role.
The purple thunder stone in front of him, which is the size of a human head, can be refined into a fist-sized piece of "purple thunder crystal" in Xiao Lin's estimation, which is enough to refine three Qingluan Thunder Swords. Although the number is much less than that of the Qingluan Ice Sword, it also makes Xiao Lin very satisfied.
The only drawback is that he no longer has ice jade in his hand, and he cannot enhance the toughness of the Qingluan Ice Sword when refining it, but this is not important. It is also completely in time to buy some ice jade from some auctions in the future and integrate it into it.
After searching Zou Jingyang and the other people's star rings, Xiao Lin unexpectedly found a piece of burning gold the size of a fingernail in the star ring of the man with black moles on his face, which surprised Xiao Lin. However, this piece of burning gold was too small and could only be integrated into one magic weapon at most.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin decided to integrate it into the Tiandun Mirror. As an auxiliary magic weapon, the Tiandun Mirror also incorporated a small amount of ice jade, but due to its own material and purpose, it was much more fragile than his own flying sword magic weapon and defense magic weapon.
Therefore, after accidentally getting this small piece of burning gold, Xiao Lin decided to improve the hardness of the Tiandun Mirror to avoid being cut by the Tiandun Mirror in the process of fighting with others in the future.
The remaining items did not make Xiao Lin's eyes light up, but from the star rings of Zou Jingyang and the other four, Xiao Lin not only harvested nearly one million low-grade spirit stones, but also a lot of second- and third-level materials. What made Xiao Lin even more happy was that he also got more than a dozen medium-grade spirit stones.
With the addition of these dozen medium-grade spirit stones, his five-element demon-locking formation can be used against the enemy again, which is an unexpected surprise for him.
After sorting out the items in these star rings, Xiao Lin looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the cave again and fell into deep thought.
This time, his purpose of coming to the Sea of Wrongful Souls was to find a spirit bead to practice the "Taixuan Daoyuan Spirit Embryo Infant Method". Although he has reaped rich rewards so far, he still has not found the whereabouts of the spirit bead.
This made him a little depressed. Spirit beads are usually born in the bodies of sea shell monsters and are divided into five elements. Of course, there are also a very small number of mutated sea shell monsters, which will also give birth to mutated spiritual root attributes like human cultivators, such as ice, wind, thunder and darkness, but this also depends on chance.
Xiao Lin searched for a long time in this Sea of Wrongful Souls, but he had never found the figure of sea shell monsters. The sea area where he is now is exactly the sea area recorded in the sea map he bought, which is most likely to be haunted by a kind of monster called "Flip Sea Shell".
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin decided to put aside the search for the spirit beads for the time being, first refine the "Great Burning Secret Art", and then refine the three Qingluan Thunder Swords.
Once the Qingluan Thunder Sword is successfully refined, the escape light in his body can be transformed into lightning. With the blessing of the magic lightning light technique and the "Great Burning Secret Art", his escape speed will reach a level that Jindan cultivators can never reach. Even if facing a Yuanying cultivator, as long as he is not in the middle or late stage, Xiao Lin has the confidence to escape calmly.
This is also the reason why he decided to comprehend the "Great Burning Secret Art" first after careful consideration.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's hand flashed with a flash of light, and several formation flags appeared in his palm. He shook his hand and threw them out. After a while, Xiao Lin uttered an obscure spell, and a large piece of white mist suddenly appeared around him, covering the entire waist of the mountain in the blink of an eye.
After casting a spell to hide the cave he was in, Xiao Lin released thousands of high-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu, which curled up at the entrance of the cave and fell silent.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin picked up the animal skin beside him and looked at it carefully. After more than half an hour, Xiao Lin put down the animal skin, placed his hands on his knees in front of him, and closed his eyes slightly.
More than 20 days later, Xiao Lin was still sitting cross-legged, but a layer of light blue flame was burning on the surface of his body. It was very light and almost invisible if you didn't look carefully.
After a while, Xiao Lin slowly opened his eyes. As he opened his eyes, the pale blue flames on his body also dissipated.
A hint of joy flashed across Xiao Lin's face. After practicing this "Great Burning Secret Art", he found that it was at least a high-level secret art. In terms of mystery and power, it even exceeded the increase brought by the Fire Cloud Pendant.
Speaking of the Fire Cloud Pendant, Xiao Lin was also very grateful that he had obtained this jade pendant when he went to the Fu family. After so many years of research, Xiao Lin found that even if his realm had advanced to the late Jindan stage, this Fire Cloud Pendant could still increase his spells and escape speed.
However, this increase is only about 30% now, and this 30% increase is always superior to all his secret arts. For example, when he was in the foundation-building period, he could increase his escape speed by about twice by performing the Burning Secret Art. After spurting out his blood essence and stimulating the Fire Cloud Pendant, he could actually increase his escape speed by another 40% on this basis.
After discovering this, Xiao Lin was really surprised. This Fire Cloud Pendant was even more magical than he had imagined. However, he didn't know whether his magic lightning technique could increase its power by another 30% after using the "Great Burning Secret Technique".
If this were true, even if the real Nascent Soul monster came, he would not be afraid at all. Unless the other party could kill him instantly, as long as he gave himself a chance to breathe, he could get rid of the pursuit of the Nascent Soul monster in an extreme time and escape.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin closed his eyes again and continued to comprehend the "Great Burning Secret Technique". In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
One day, Xiao Lin suddenly opened his eyes from his meditation, with a look of doubt on his face.
He stood up, and with a slight shake, he had already flown to the top of the mountain where his cave was located, standing on a piece of bluestone.
At this time, Xiao Lin saw that the sea surface around the island where he was located was actually densely covered with huge hills, and the sea surface between these hills was also floating with various monsters.
Xiao Lin's eyes shrank slightly. He never thought that he had just chosen an unknown island to practice secret arts for a period of time, and he was inexplicably surrounded by countless monsters.
Moreover, those huge hills were actually black turtles. These black turtles were at least at the initial stage of the emperor level, and Xiao Lin's heart sank.
Seeing these black turtles, he naturally thought of the little golden turtle that he had killed. Needless to say, these monsters came to settle accounts with him, and in Xiao Lin's opinion, they were very likely to know that the little golden turtle died in his hands.
However, Xiao Lin was not afraid. After more than a month of practice, the "Great Burning Secret Art" had been refined. With his silent-level magic lightning art, these black turtles had no ability to threaten him at all.
Xiao Lin's eyes swept around, looking for the weak points of the monster encirclement. Although he thought he was not the same as before, he still felt a chill when he saw the dense monsters on the sea nearby.
This scale of monsters was already a small beast tide. Even if he had an amazing speed, it was not easy to pass through the encirclement of endless monsters.
Xiao Lin kept thinking about the attacks he might encounter when he broke through. In his opinion, the only way now was to soar into the sky first, stay as far away from the endless monsters' spell attacks as possible, and then turn to escape. In this way, he could get rid of the encirclement with the advantage of speed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin took a deep breath, and the magic power in his body began to flow, and a faint dark green aura appeared on his body.
Just as Xiao Lin was about to make a move, a golden light flashed a hundred feet in front of him, and a bald man appeared in front of Xiao Lin, sitting cross-legged on the back of a ten-foot-long black turtle.
Seeing the bald man, Xiao Lin's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed a look of fear.
"A transformed demon cultivator?" Xiao Lin exclaimed, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. However, Xiao Lin calmed down instantly at this moment. After nearly 120 years of cultivating immortals, this was the first time he saw a transformed demon cultivator.
The reason why Xiao Lin was sure that the bald man in front of him was a transformed demon cultivator was because he still retained many characteristics of demon beasts. The pair of claws that looked like shrunken turtles proved this.
And although Xiao Lin had never seen a real transformed demon cultivator before, he knew that the transformed demon cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage could not perfectly humanize their bodies due to the limitations of their realm, and usually retained some characteristics of demon beasts, so the transformed demon cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage were easy to identify.
Once a transformed demon cultivator advances to the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and becomes a great demon, he will be able to shed the characteristics of a demon beast and transform into a perfect human being. If Xiao Lin really encounters such a demon, he probably won't even think of escaping, because that is doomed to be futile.
