Chapter 458 Weighing the Pros and Cons
Lu Xiaotian did not return to the original place. After walking for more than ten miles, he followed the example of the pottery figurines and dug a cave at the bottom of the stream. A simple formation was arranged outside. Due to the obstruction of the stream and the restriction of the formation, it is not easy for even the Golden Core cultivators to detect it. For him at this time, it wouldn't take long to dig a simple cave.
After sealing the entrance of the cave, Lu Xiaotian’s originally calm eyes darkened. Cooperating with the pottery figurine was a helpless move. After all, he was not familiar with the place at this time, and there were Jindan monks here, so he did not dare to act rashly. Those mine slaves didn't know much more about the situation here than he did. They were the supervisors in the Qi Refining Period. Their strength was too low, so their knowledge was probably very limited. However, those foundation-building monks should know some inside information. It's just that the foremen like the Foundation Establishment Cultivators can't move easily. After all, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators is very small. Once they move, it will alert others. When the time comes to conduct a dragnet search, he may not be able to hide it.
As for the pottery figurines, they are stronger than him, and are extremely familiar with this place. They even know the secrets of the Jindan monk Xuehu Taoist here. Obviously it is not too simple. After all, for cultivators, even their closest relatives may not necessarily know about their own weaknesses. But that pottery figurine had been at the bottom of Jingxing Lake before. Even if he came here after escaping from trouble, he only stayed a few years longer than he did before he could learn so many secrets. Could it be that Taoist Xuehu had this pottery figurine next to him? Or is the pottery figurine and Taoist Xuehu Taoist just old acquaintances?
Lu Xiaotian's eyes were filled with uncertainty. All confidence was based on strength. At this time, regardless of his familiarity with the environment or his strength, he was not as good as the pottery figurine. Cooperating with him would inevitably be controlled by others. The pottery figurine was by no means a soft-hearted person, so he had to prepare for the worst.
In the current situation, even if he went out to inquire for information, not only would he easily be exposed, but no matter how hard he tried, his familiarity with the place would not be as good as that of the pottery figurines. He wasted time in vain, and he might as well spend his time improving his own strength. After all, he was still injured at this time. Due to the sword energy that penetrated Zhou Tong's body, the medicinal power of Qingshuang Nightshade was not fully absorbed. If you want to fight against the Blood Gourd Taoist who may be behind you, as well as the pottery puppets who may attack him at any time, you won't be able to do it just by relying on your current strength.
Lu Xiaotian took a breath, closed his eyes and meditated, with his five hearts in the sky.
More than a month later, part of the sword energy retained in the body by Zhou Tong's sword was completely eliminated. Without the obstruction of this alien force, the medicinal power of Qingshuang Longkui Dan was smoothly absorbed. Not only the physical injuries Completely recovered, and his cultivation level has also been successfully improved by one level. At this time, he is already at the eleventh level of foundation building. The tenth level of foundation building was broken through by the huge spiritual power of the Condensing Gold Pill. The eleventh level was broken through with the help of Qingshuang Nightshade, which is a bit unstable. However, in the past few years, he will definitely spend most of his energy on the Five Elements Formation, and he is not in a hurry to finish it for the time being. Dan, it doesn't matter.
"Roar" Lu Xiaotian was about to take out the Soul War Yuan Pearl, but the spirit beast bag containing Di Kun suddenly moved.
In the past, it was often the little fire crows who were restless, but this was rarely the case for Di Kun.
Lu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and released Di Kun.
Di Kun looked a little restless, walking back and forth. Lu Xiaotian was confused at first, then suddenly remembered what was mentioned in the Monster Beast Record, that tamed spirit beasts often showed signs of restlessness when faced with breakthrough levels.
Is Di Kun about to break through to the seventh level monster? Lu Xiaotian felt excited. If Di Kun could become a seventh-level monster, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him, and the difficulties he was facing now would be easily solved.
Now that the breakthrough is about to happen, it’s time to put the two things I left for the Yin Zombie monsters to use.
Lu Xiaotian took out the Seven Nights Ancient Flower and the evil things he got from Haoli, a late-stage ghost cultivator. Di Kun screamed happily and swallowed two things in one gulp. The originally agitated Di Kun calmed down and returned to his previous arrogant look. However, the crystal red eyes sparkled with excitement from time to time.
"It seems that it will take some time to digest these two things and use them for your own use." Lu Xiaotian put Di Kun away with satisfaction. No matter what, it is a good thing that Di Kun is about to break through. The only bad thing is that this place is not very good. There are other golden elixir monks watching from the side, and I don't know if there will be any troubles.
But worrying about some things for nothing is of little use, so you should take care of yourself first. Lu Xiaotian took out the Soul War Yuan Pearl. At this time, he still had several monster spirits in his hand. Fortunately, when he first practiced the swallowing method, he was already quite proficient in refining the monster spirits. It should be almost done after using up these monster beast essences.
It’s just that even if he successfully refines the Flood Dragon War Bead, this power is not his own after all, and he will probably suffer a loss if he really fights against the Golden Core cultivator. After all, the power obtained out of thin air is far less reliable than what you gain from your own cultivation. Moreover, most of this soul fighting method is based on improved physical strength, which is a lot of constraints for dealing with Jindan monks, and he is not very good at close combat methods.
The method of close combat, by the way, Xun Xiu! Lu Xiaotian suddenly remembered the battle with Xun Xiu. If Xun Xiu hadn't been far inferior to him in terms of defense, strength and physical strength, Xun Xiu would have definitely won in the end. Even so, he was injured to a certain extent by Xun Xiu. It can be said that he was the only injury suffered at the hands of a Foundation Establishment monk after he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
But Lu Xiaotian was repelled from the bottom of his heart by the strange aura caused by the evil skills practiced by Xun Xiu. But the situation he was facing now made Lu Xiaotian feel helpless. After all, Di Kun didn't know when he would be able to break through, so the only one he could count on for the time being was himself.
"Try to practice for now. If it doesn't work, just give up later." After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Xiaotian finally made a choice. Although he didn't like the gloomy atmosphere brought by Xun Xiu's practice, but when his life could be threatened at any time, he had no other choice. With his life, he might form a pill in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian took out the few black scales he got from Xun Xiu's storage bag. At first glance, the black scales looked normal, but upon closer inspection, you could still see that there seemed to be some tiny pits on them, forming patterns. These scales seem to form a whole when placed together, and Lu Xiaotian's third soul enters them.
There was a buzzing sound, and it seemed that the whole person was pulled in by the black scales. Lu Xiaotian was startled at first, and then saw a section of the technique.
