Chapter 217 Rapid Advance
Thanks to the ethereal state when refining alchemy before foundation building, Lu Xiaotian has some experience in refining elixir with fierce fire, and his control over the fire lord has far exceeded that of alchemists of the same level. At first, after consuming five Heaven-Returning Pills, more than a dozen stone figurine corpses were piled up in the narrow stone path, and the Centipede Puppet behind them just refined one batch of two pills. Lu Xiaotian tried to refine the Huitian Pill by increasing the firepower, but the high-level pill such as the Huitian Pill was far from comparable to the Wuhua Pill in the previous Qi refining period. After refining two furnaces in succession, Lu Xiaotian could continue to try calmly in normal times, but in this case, the herbs needed to ripen the Heaven-Returning Pill require a large amount of several stones. Although there are a lot of spiritual stones, they are still in vain, and they are used less every time. Moreover, the situation at this time could not afford too many mistakes, but fortunately, he used the method of damaging the stone figurines to delay time.
The attack power of the two stone figurines with injured hands and feet in front of them is only about half of the previous ones. Even if they are hit on the body, they will not cause much damage. The top and bottom height and left and right width of the cave do not allow more stone figurines to attack. Lu Xiaotian temporarily gave up the method of increasing firepower to refine elixirs, and the elixir success rate began to rise again. In this way, Lu Xiaotian's consumption and supply barely reached a balance.
With the return of the most powerful red gold stone figurines, they also realized that this method was wrong, and began to evacuate the excess similar ones in the passage, and then only sent two stone figurines into the passage at a time. When it dropped to the point where it could no longer threaten Lu Xiaotian, other similar members were immediately transferred to rotate. The red gold stone figurine in the middle personally led another one of the same kind to approach. He was seriously injured again by Lu Xiaotian with the Danyuan Fire Dragon Arrow. The old injury was not healed, and new injuries were added. The red gold stone figurine was almost surrendered in the cave. After being snatched back by the same clan, he never dared to lead the charge in person. Instead, they keep driving the same kind.
In this way, although there are no dense shadows of stone figurines in the cave, it will cause visual pressure. In fact, the burden on Lu Xiaotian suddenly became heavier.
The number of punches and kicks hitting Lu Xiaotian increased again. However, as he continued to refine elixirs, Lu Xiaotian's attainments in alchemy were also constantly improving. The success rate of Huitian Dan and several healing elixirs was getting higher and higher. high.
The battle in the cave did not stop for a moment. Lu Xiaotian's main spirit continued to fight with the stone figurines, while his deputy spirit spent day and night refining elixirs. Lu Xiaotian forgot the passage of time and simply immersed himself in fighting and alchemy. The stone figurines were constantly injured. Then he was constantly hit by the fists and kicks of stone figurines, and his ribs were broken one after another, and then slowly recovered during the battle.
There are fewer and fewer spirit stones in the barrier, but the quality of Huitian Pills is also getting higher and higher. The effect of one batch of top-grade Huitian Pills can be equal to several batches of top-grade or middle-grade pills. Lu Xiaotian was also able to hold on longer.
However, spiritual stones are limited after all, but Lu Xiaotian did not notice these. Fighting and alchemy had diverted all his attention.
One day, in the cave, a young man with red scales on his body looked cold, raised his head and roared, causing the dust in the cave to fall. The young man slapped his chest with both hands, his whole body glowing red.
I don’t know how much time passed, but a sharp energy vibrated around Lu Xiaotian’s body.
In the cave, there are countless corpses of stone figurines piled up.
One day, when Lu Xiaotian stood outside the cave again, there were still hundreds of stone figurines surrounding him. However, including the red gold stone figurine, everyone looked at Lu Xiaotian with fear, and for a moment he didn’t Dare to step forward.
Stepping outside the cave again, despite the rolling yellow sand outside the cave, Lu Xiaotian felt particularly friendly. I don't know how many days he didn't see the light of day again. But what surprised him was that the yellow sand rolling all over the sky seemed to have no effect on his body. It was definitely not because the "Taihao Battle Body" had broken through to the third level. No matter how powerful the physical body was, he could still feel the yellow sand. The power of cutting is just that the defense is so strong that it will not be easily hurt by the yellow sand. Is it because of the light golden crystal inside the stone figurine?
After much deliberation, Lu Xiaotian only felt that this was a possibility. Dozens of stone sculptures hover above the head, and there are hundreds of stone figurines on the ground, including red gold stone figurines. Even though he fought day and night in the cave, his body was constantly hammered by the stone figurines, and the elixirs were constantly repaired, under the threat of death at any time, "Taihao Battle Body" successively broke through to the late third level. It is already equivalent to a sixth-level body refiner. In other words, the strength of the physical body alone is equivalent to the late stage of foundation establishment, but the strength of the body refiner is far more terrifying than that of the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment. As for his own cultivation, he lags behind the body training, but he has also gained great strength and broken through the shackles. Now he is already at the fourth level of foundation building. Although it is only one level away from before, he is already at the level of building foundation. The difference between the middle stage of foundation and the early stage of foundation building.
At this time, the spiritual stones and Huitian Pills in the barrier had already been exhausted. However, even though he has now greatly improved in strength and has become the most outstanding group of existences among the foundation-building monks, he still wants to challenge more than a hundred stone figurines, including red gold stone figurines, and dozens of people hovering above his head. Just stone sculptures are still not enough. The reason why Lu Xiaotian is able to stand here naturally stems from the secret discovered in a battle. Regarding the deadly secret of the stone figurines, he was already a fifth-level body refiner at that time. He had already used up the Heaven-Returning Pills and various healing pills. The stone figurines outside are still standing one after another.
Lu Xiaotian thought he was about to die. His trump cards had been exhausted and there was nothing he could do. He tried his best but still came to this result. Angry, he smashed the chest of a stone figurine with one punch, unintentionally The light golden prism crystal in the body of the stone figurine was shattered. When the golden liquid inside was soaked into his body, the feeling of comfort spread throughout his body, allowing his body's injuries to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the exhausted body was filled with strength again. It was also thanks to this that by killing a stone figurine and obtaining the golden prismatic crystal, he would be able to get a chance to replenish himself. In the end, he could survive the day after day of fighting and killing, and the seventh-level fire dragon The elixir refined from flesh and blood has long been exhausted, and the passages in the cave are almost filled with corpses of stone figurines. After thousands of times of tempering, the body has finally reached its current strength. He dared to fight back because he obtained a golden crystal by killing the stone figurines, which could repair his body's functions in a very short time. However, as Taihao's combat body cultivation deepened, the nourishing effect of the light golden crystal on his body became slightly weaker.
Perhaps because they have lost too many of their kind, these stone figurines have begun to fear Lu Xiaotian.
Red gold stone figurines! Lu Xiaotian's body was as small as a cheetah ready to attack, and then he suddenly rushed out and rushed towards the red gold stone figurines. He shot people first and horses first, and captured thieves first and captured the king. Ordinary stone figurines are under the command of the red gold stone figurine. If this red gold stone figurine is killed, the situation may change a lot. The role of the light gold crystal in improving Lu Xiaotian's body refining skills is no longer obvious. There is no value in staying here. Maybe the crystals in this red gold stone figurine still have some effect. Seeing Lu Xiaotian rushing towards them, there was a commotion among the stone figurines. The human race in front of them is too terrifying and cannot be rivaled by them at all. Too many of their kind have died in the hands of the human race.
Clang! The Blazing Fire Sword flashed out, and there was no need to activate the sword light. With Lu Xiaotian's physical strength at this time, even an ordinary weapon could exert unimaginable lethality. Two light gold stone figurines blocking the front were decapitated by two swords.
Lu Xiaotian flipped his body and landed in front of the red gold stone figurines.
The red gold stone figurine let out an extremely rough roar, and its only arm clenched its fist and hit Lu Xiaotian.
Try how strong this red gold stone figurine is. Lu Xiaotian took a breath, and not to be outdone, he also punched. Boom, after a thunderous explosion, the huge storm formed caused the light gold stone figurines to be rolled back more than ten steps. Lu Xiaotian also took several steps back before stopping his body. There was a pain in his fist, more painful than if the light gold stone figurine hit him directly. He was surprised to see the red gold stone figurine whose body was just shaking. In terms of strength alone, the red gold stone figurine was even more powerful than him.
Seeing that Lu Xiaotian suffered some losses in terms of school strength, the red gold stone figurine roared excitedly. It had always been afraid of the extremely powerful set of bows and arrows in Lu Xiaotian's hands, and now Lu Xiaotian actually chose to fight with it in close combat. , even with only one arm, the red gold stone figurine is confident that he can kill this human race. Taking advantage of the undecided position of the human race in front of him, the red gold stone figurine, which had regained its confidence, pounced on Lu Xiaotian again as fast as the wind, its legs were like mountains, and its speed was faster than that of the light gold stone figurine.
Even if he is already a sixth-level body refiner, he still lags behind this red gold stone figurine in close combat. Just from the simple exchange just now, Lu Xiaotian clearly realized this. In this case, he would naturally not use his own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths. The test just now was just to test the opponent's strength. Facing the attack from the red gold stone figurines, Lu Xiaotian took out the Blazing Fire Sword again. Body refiners are extremely difficult to find in the entire world of immortal cultivation. Those who can cultivate to the golden elixir stage like Huo Yuming must have great opportunities. However, the development of magical weapons has been passed down from ancient times. No matter how strong the bodies of body refiners of the same level are, they cannot directly carry the blazing Lihuo Sword, which is good at attacking, with their physical bodies.
Lu Xiaotian snorted coldly and poured all his mana directly into the Blazing Fire Sword. Having successfully advanced to the fourth level of foundation building, his magic power is not only a quantitative breakthrough compared to before, but also a lot better in quality. The previously fiery red sword light had begun to turn purple. The two giant stone sculptures that originally jumped down were cut into two pieces by Lu Xiaotian's sword.
There was a sound like being struck on the hardest stone, and even a monk with a lower level of cultivation would faint immediately after hearing it. Lu Xiaotian's sword, which exploded with all his magic power, failed to cut off the red gold stone figurine's right foot in one stroke, but the fierce fighting just now also cut into a small part of it. In terms of power alone, the Blazing Fire Sword is still inferior to the Fire Dragon Bow and Arrow. However, even so, the red gold stone figurine is still extremely frightened and angry. He retracts his feet and moves his hind legs. However, his right leg is seriously injured and his movements are slower than before. A little slower.
The surrounding stone figurines rushed forward, trying to rescue the leader. Lu Xiaotian killed a few more in succession, smashed their chest with one punch, took out the golden crystal and smashed it to replenish the consumption of physical strength. . The golden crystals obtained from the stone figurines are enough to make up for the wear and tear on the body caused by the fierce battle. Except for the red gold stone figurines, the attacks of ordinary stone figurines can no longer cause much damage to him in a short period of time. And the defense is even more difficult to block his blow. At this time, Lu Xiaotian is already in an invincible position.
After breaking through the obstruction of ordinary stone figurines, the speed of the red gold stone figurines was greatly reduced and they were unable to withdraw far. Lu Xiaotian would only unleash the power of this sword with all his strength when facing red gold stone figurines. However, ordinary stone figurines, relying on the sharpness of the Blazing Fire Sword itself and its terrifying strength, can already cause destruction to them. of blow. After slashing left and right, there was no longer any distance between the red gold stone figurine and Lu Xiaotian.
It was impossible to escape. The human race in front of them was too fast. After feeling the threat to their lives, the red gold stone figurines fought back desperately. The whole body hit Lu Xiaotian like lightning. Lu Xiaotian dodged to avoid it and directly He walked around behind the red gold stone figurine and was about to stab the red gold stone figurine in the back with his sword. The body of the red gold stone figurine was leaning forward, and its hind legs were already lifted up like a scorpion's tail, swinging hard towards Lu Xiaotian's legs.
Lu Xiaotian's eyelids twitched. He didn't expect that this red gold stone figurine had such a hand, but with his speed, it was not difficult to dodge. Just as Lu Xiaotian was about to avoid it, a dozen ordinary stone figurines all around him flew towards him. For a moment, there was no way to retreat. Although with his strength, it was not difficult to kill a few of them, but a dozen stone figurines were equivalent to a dozen physical practitioners who were equivalent to the first foundation of building a foundation. He did not care about his body, even if he was attacked in an instant. If you kill a few of them, you will definitely be knocked hard by several others. Once hugged by them, the red gold stone figurines will turn around, pin them down and beat them up. Even with his current strength, Not immune.
It was such a ruthless method. Lu Xiaotian’s eyelids twitched. Stone figurines began to fly around and surrounded him. There was only an upward breakthrough. Without any hesitation, he kicked the red gold stone figurine's hind leg. With the help of the red gold stone figurine's kick, his body bounced into the air like a cannonball.
Seeing the opportunity, the stone sculptures hovering in the air flew over quickly with fluttering wings. They grabbed Lu Xiaotian with their claws and tried hard to tear them apart, but they couldn't tear them apart. Several other stone sculptures rushed closer and wanted to use their mouths to tear him apart. peck.
Seeing the extremely sharp beak, Lu Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart. He wielded the blazing fire sword and slashed at it. Several stone sculptures that were approaching could not be cured. Two had their wings cut off and their bodies lost balance and flew into the air. fall. Stone feathers flew in the air. After suffering a loss, the stone sculptures around him flew fast and furious, but did not rush over. The stone sculpture that caught Lu Xiaotian flapped its wings rapidly, and the stone figurines on the ground shrank sharply. Then he suddenly let go of his paw. Lu Xiaotian's body fell to the ground like a stone. In the limited memory of the stone sculpture, this method was also used to kill prey that could not be torn apart.
