Chapter 228 The sky is full of meteors
Hoo-chi, ho-chi!
Xiao Jie breathed hard, trying to inhale some spiritual energy from the cold morning air of Huqiu Mountain, but he failed in the end.
He opened his eyes and looked at the dawn sun rising in the distance, but he sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Oh, it seems that spiritual energy does not exist in this real world." Xiao Jie thought and stood up from the ground.
He did not leave Kanglao Mountain last night. After entering the cave, he went offline, and then ran to Huqiu Mountain to study the newly learned Qi refining technique.
The results were mixed, but the good news was that he had indeed mastered the Qi Refining Technique in reality. He had even mastered the legendary trait of the first level of Qi Refining - 'Eating the Wind and Drinking the Dew'.
Xiao Jie has not had any water or rice since noon yesterday, but he feels no hunger or weakness at all. His body seems to be an energy field that can circulate itself, from the air, from the morning dew, from the sun and moonlight, from the cold and Energy is absorbed in the change of heat.
This feeling is very magical, especially when there is no one in the middle of the night, sitting alone on the pavilion in Huqiu Mountain, feeling the integration of the body and nature, and the subtle changes caused by the moonlight shining on the body, it is an extremely wonderful feeling.
It's a pity that when he tried to practice the Qi Refining Technique, there was no reaction at all. After practicing all night, there was no effect, and he couldn't extract any spiritual energy.
He has now roughly understood the principle of Qi Refining. To put it bluntly, it means extracting and absorbing energy.
The so-called eating wind and drinking dew feels a bit like photosynthesis. Water and energy are directly absorbed by the body, so naturally there is no need to eat and drink anymore.
The same principle applies to absorbing spiritual energy. However, after inhaling for a long time, I couldn't absorb any of it. Obviously, there is no such substance as spiritual energy in reality.
Maybe I can find opportunities to try it in places like famous mountains and rivers in the future.
Huangshan, Huashan, Emeishan, Kunlun Mountain, Himalayas...
After all, there are so many legends related to immortals in those famous mountains, maybe there really is spiritual energy.
If there were, that would be great. I could practice Qi Refining to the full level in reality and become an immortal...
However, Xiao Jie doesn't have much hope for this, and that will be a matter for the future. The top priority is to return to Luoyang Town first. With the guild as his backer, it will not be difficult to kill a few monster bosses. When the time comes, with his own strength It shows that it is not difficult to get the monster's inner elixir. Let's see if the immortal gourd works first.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t find aura in reality, as long as you can find it in the game.
He closed his eyes and could clearly feel the spiritual energy in his body flowing slowly like calm lake water.
These are the 1,000 spiritual energy points he absorbed from Konglao Mountain, and are now projected into reality.
Xiao Jie casually took out a knife and made a cut on his arm. You can see that the wound is slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it is not as exaggerated as Wolverine, it is still far faster than ordinary people.
In less than a minute, the wound on the back of the hand disappeared. If it weren't for the trace of blood still remaining on the arm, the wound just now would be almost as unreal as an illusion.
He touched the area where the wound was with his hand, and there was no trace of scar left. This air healing technique was really amazing.
Okay, it's time to go down the mountain, there are more spiritual energy waiting to be collected.
Xiao Jie thought and walked down the mountain.
On the way home, Xiao Jie stopped by the morning market and bought a white fish and a bottle of rice wine.
When he returned home, while it was still early, Xiao Jie skillfully packed up the fish, put it into the pot, added various seasonings one by one, and started stewing it.
Soon the pot came to a boil, and Xiao Jie poured in the rice wine...
It's a pity that this material does not completely match the requirements in the game, otherwise there should be special effects.
Smelling the aroma of fresh fish in the pot, Xiao Jie licked his lips. Fortunately, although he didn't need to eat, it wouldn't matter if he wanted to.
There is no need to worry about losing the pleasure of eating and drinking.
The fish was ready soon. Xiao Jie habitually filled a bowl of white rice and felt the changes in his body while eating.
After eating a bowl of rice, I don't feel full at all, and I don't feel full either. This feeling is very strange.
Due to habitual reasons since childhood, Xiao Jie usually likes to eat until he is a little full before he feels full.
However, in the blink of an eye, he ate a pot of rice, but Xiao Jie's stomach still didn't change at all. He didn't feel full or half-full.
Hey, this is really strange.
He touched his belly and it wasn't even bloated.
Xiao Jie closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body. This was another side-effect of Qi Refining - inner vision, which allowed him to perceive changes in his body through his mind. Xiao Jie was immediately surprised by this perception.
The food eaten has been completely digested!
He could even feel the transformed energy running through his body.
Is this the effect of Qi refining? It's really amazing!
Although Xiao Jie knew only a little about this Qi Refining Technique and was limited to using it, he had a feeling that after learning the Qi Refining Technique, his body seemed to have undergone some strange changes, and it no longer looked like ordinary people. sense of human beings.
He couldn't help but think of several sci-fi movies about mutations he had watched before. He remembered one movie in which the protagonist mutated and even his internal organs disappeared. At this moment, he really wanted to cut open his stomach and take a look. , whether there has been any mutation or something inside.
But he soon gave up this strange thought in his mind.
After all, this game brings more than just one kind of magical change. So many changes have happened, so what difference does it make if there is more.
Xiao Jie said to himself that it was better not to think so much. There were so many people who had never understood the principles of this game, so why should he care about it.
It would be more serious to develop more abilities.
Xiao Jie thought and saw that the time had reached eight o'clock, and he couldn't wait to log in to the game.
Seeing his character appear in the cave, Xiao Jie hesitated and did not enter the valley again.
Although he has a mission, Taoist Hongchen will probably not attack him again.
But he always had an uneasy feeling about this person, especially after seeing the graves of those Qi refiners, he had a feeling that if this mortal Taoist really wanted to attack him, he would never hesitate.
The next time you come, you must be fully prepared and bring enough people. If you want to attack, you can kill him in one go. You can't take any chances.
While walking towards the outside of the cave, Xiao Jie checked the skill of Ancient Qi Refining Technique. Yesterday, he was busy dealing with the threat from the real person Hongchen and did not check the specific data of this skill carefully.
When I clicked on it, I found that it was more complicated than I thought.

If you practice with concentration, you may one day be able to open the inheritance path of the ancient Qi Refiners. 】
It seems that at level 20, I can definitely get the profession of Ancient Qi Refiner.
I don’t know what the core skills of the Qi Refiner will be.
While thinking about it, Xiao Jie had already arrived at the entrance of the cave and jumped down.
Slowly falling to the ground, Xiao Jie summoned his mount and galloped away in the direction he came from.
Sure enough, just as Taoist Hongchen said, the Lost Forest didn't react to him at all, and Xiao Jie just let Xiao Jie gallop through the forest and passed through it easily.
Haha, this is much more convenient. I turned around and looked at Kanglao Mountain in the distance. I don’t know when I will come here next time.
After Xiao Jie finished sighing, he flew towards the hills ahead. There was still a long way to go.
The entire endless wasteland is located in the northwest of Fengyin Prefecture, connecting Longhua Prefecture, Beiming Prefecture, and Liuhuo Prefecture. It is a place where the surrounding areas meet. However, it does not belong to Si Prefecture. The area is vast. It was difficult to come here, and it is not easy to go back now.
Fortunately, the task was accomplished, and Xiao Jie felt much more relaxed. He was flying over the wasteland while carefully observing his surroundings.
After passing through a mountain ridge, bypassing a barren hill, and arriving at a stone beam connecting the mountains, Xiao Jie was surprised to see a somewhat familiar figure sitting under a big tree on the edge of the stone beam.
Hey, isn't this the old man? Xiao Jie was slightly stunned. This old guy didn't leave. Why was he waiting here?
A sense of alarm suddenly arose in his heart. The sinister nature of human nature in this game made him unavoidably wary of everything.
Seeing Xiao Jie coming on horseback, the man stood up in a hurry. He was dressed in tattered linen clothes and had a gray beard and white hair. Who else could he be if he wasn't the old man in the Lost Forest?
Mysterious old man: Level 28. HP 580.
Seeing old man Xiao Jie, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"Little brother, little brother, wait a minute! Why don't you come over and talk!"
Xiao Jie looked at the surrounding terrain. If he wanted to return to Fengyin State, he had to cross this stone beam, otherwise he would have to take a big detour. This old man was guarding the entrance of this stone beam, fearing that he was not specifically blocking him. Yes.
As for why... Haha, don't think about it, it must be the so-called 'immortal's legacy'. Xiao Jie didn't reveal it, he stopped his horse far away and faced the old man from afar.
"The old man hasn't come home yet?"
The old man sighed, "I can't go back. It's been more than thirty years. There is no home for me to go back to. What's more, in order to let all the brothers return home, I killed my wife and sent my son away before setting off, just for I have made up my mind to seize this immortal treasure. Brothers like me are no different than me. It can be said that we are in ruins, but it is a pity..."
Damn it, this old guy is really a ruthless person and a beast.
"Haha, then why are you waiting here? Could it be that - you are waiting for me specifically to teach me your life-long skills and family secrets, so that you can fulfill the vows you made before?"
The old man burst into laughter immediately, "Hahaha, little brother, it's just a joke, it's just a casual remark, it's nothing like an oath." The old man had a smile on his face, but he put his hands in his arms, groping for something.
But his tone became very humble, "Little brother, when you came back from Kanglao Mountain, could it be that you successfully entered the mountain and found the immortal treasure?"
Xiao Jie took a look at the immortal gourd in his bag and thought to himself that he had really found a treasure, but it's a pity that this thing is useless to you.
Of course, there is no need to say this. The old man has made it clear that he is ready to cut off the man.
But he is not afraid of the other party.
While recovering his physical strength, he was thinking about combos. He didn't know what skill the old man was using, whether he wanted to kite from a distance or fight at close range.
After all, it's a level 28 monster, so it's better to be careful.
But he glanced at the DEBUFF on the old man's head, but he wasn't too nervous.
[Old and frail: This person is physically weak due to his age, and all attributes are reduced by 30%. 】
"Why do you ask this, old man?"
"Little brother, little old man, I have a merciless request. How about you show me the immortal treasure?"
"Oh, why should I show it to you?"
"Oh, look at what you are asking. I and a group of brothers have been trapped in the forest for decades for the immortal treasure. So many people have died. Now I am old. How can you even have this little wish?" Don’t you want to satisfy me?”
"Hehehe, why should I satisfy you?"
The old man sighed, "That's right. You and I are strangers. It's just a casual relationship. We're not even friends. How can you trust me? But since we're not friends, there's no need for me to be with you. Nonsense, even if I kill you, you will have nothing to say." At this point, a trace of cruelty appeared on his old face, "Little brother, I'm sorry!"
As soon as the old man raised his hand, a white light flashed through. Before Xiao Jie had time to react, he was already hit.
Poof!
-
32! A red letter appeared above his head.
Damn it, what kind of skill is so fast!
Xiao Jie was on full alert. Unexpectedly, he was still hit. Fortunately, the damage was not high.
But don’t think about shooting me so easily next!
Jump off the horse with a somersault.
He rushed towards the old man.
Combat skill - Meteor Soul Chasing Dart!
Whoosh!
The white light flashed, and Xiao Jie was hit again before he could avoid it.
-
33!
Holy shit! What skill is so outrageous? Xiao Jie was really shocked this time.
However, the old man was even more surprised than he looked. Looking at the lively Xiao Jie, he was stunned for a long time. How come this man didn't do anything after being hit by two of my darts?
Before the old man could throw out the third round.
Phantom without a trace!
Brush, Xiao Jie appeared directly in front of the old man.
Cut in two with one knife——
The old man was taken aback, but his reaction was very quick.
Assassin's pace!
His body slid backwards in an instant, and he managed to avoid the knife. However, he could avoid the blade but not the energy of the knife.
——Empty crack flash!
brush! The cold sword energy struck the old man.
-
67!
The old man screamed and struck out the hidden weapons with both hands.
Combat skill - a series of deadly darts!
Bang bang bang! Darts were shot out in succession.
Xiao Jie hurriedly turned over and rolled to dodge. Fortunately, this move was different from the previous move. The trajectory of the darts was obvious, so he managed to dodge most of them, but still hit two darts.
The old man was retreating as hard as he could while releasing the hidden weapon. However, this old man's Qinggong was extremely good. He obviously wanted to distance himself and kite Xiao Jie from a long distance.
However, Xiao Jie's Qinggong is not bad either.
Flying on the grass! gallop!
Using Qing Kung Fu + Special Skills, the speed was instantly increased by 60%. He was in front of the old man in the blink of an eye. He didn't wait for the opponent to release the flying knife again, and directly activated the special effects of Shura Ghost Face's equipment.
Horrible face!
The old man suddenly felt as if he had seen a ghost. He yelled, turned around and ran away, forgetting to use Qinggong.
Xiao Jie took the opportunity to skillfully execute a set of combos.
The violent wind sword technique, one sword, two swords and three swords - whirling slash - one sword to break in two - air split flash!
After one set, I directly drained the old man's remaining blood.
The old man recovered from his fear and immediately realized that he was facing a tough challenge. He didn't dare to fight hard, so he kicked off the ground and flew into the air.
Qinggong - the crane flies into the sky!
Despite his age, his Qinggong is excellent.
The body shape is like a crane flying in the sky, flying straight towards the sky.
How could Xiao Jie let him have his wish?
Qinggong - Feiyun Chasing the Moon!
With a sudden kick on the ground, he also jumped into the air, waving his sword and chasing the old man.
The old man was covered in blood, with a ferocious expression on his face in mid-air, and said with a ferocious smile: "Well done, boy - take my move and try it!" He suddenly took out a handful of flying knives and hidden weapons from his arms, and frantically aimed at Xiao Jie below. projection.
Mysterious meaning - the sky is full of meteors!
Countless flying knives and darts shot down like raindrops, creating hundreds of cold lights, just like meteors streaking across the sky.
Xiao Jie's heart was still, this ultimate move had a huge range, and he was in mid-air with no way to avoid it. If it took enough damage, he would definitely be killed.
If it were an ordinary person, there would be a high probability that he would suffer severely.
Fortunately, I am not an ordinary person!
The secret - the bubble of disillusionment!
The fight started in mid-air. As soon as the time field opened, dozens or hundreds of flying knives and darts were all fixed in the mid-air.
What! The old man was stunned and stunned. What the hell kind of trick is this?
The next second, there was a sudden darkness above the head.
Phantom without a trace! Xiao Jie appeared directly above him.
Cut it in two! Han Yue Dao chopped off his head.
Poof!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the old man was chopped down from the air. At the same time, a limb-dismemberment effect was triggered, and one arm was completely disabled.
The old man fell to the ground, staggering and trying to get up, but found that one of his arms had been cut off, and his face suddenly turned miserable.
Holding his broken arm, he struggled to stand up and looked at Xiao Jie with a sad expression.
His painstaking planning and lifelong knowledge were ruined just like that.
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. Little brother, the old blind man must have made a mistake."
Xiao Jie looked at the old man who was still alive and had four or five DEBUFFs hanging on his head, and knew that this guy was no longer good.
[Old and frail: All attributes are reduced by 30%. 】
[Broken limb: Your arm is broken and you cannot use the main hand weapon. 】
