Chapter 133: Twelve Years Later and Uninvited Guests
Time passed day by day, Luo Hong was immersed in cultivation every day, and his cultivation was improving by leaps and bounds all the time, so he never felt bored at all.
In just two years, he had broken through to the late stage of foundation building, and now it was time to consider how to form a pill.
According to Han Laomo's experience, it would be best for Luo Hong to upgrade his Yuan Shen realm to the third level, that is, to practice the Dayan Art to the third level.
In addition, it is best to obtain Snow Spirit Water, Heavenly Fire Liquid and Dust Falling Pill. This requires dealing with the merchant alliance in the Inner Star Sea, which will inevitably lead to leakage of money.
In order to avoid being tricked, Luo Hong decided to continue her retreat here, raising her cultivation level to the peak of foundation building while improving her combat power.
In fact, in terms of combat power, Luo Hong has many areas that can be improved.
In terms of his soul, he needs to refine the last demon pill, which can quickly strengthen his soul.
In terms of the physical body, one has the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Skill which is still one level away from reaching the sixth level, and the other has the remaining eight dragon bone silver runes inscribed on it.
In terms of mana, Luo Hong had to nurture the twelve newly connected acupoints into shape, and use the spiritual energy in the wooden house to completely cultivate the blue round particles. This matter has been delayed for too long.
"With so much to do, it seems it's time for a long retreat."
After Luo Hong listed the items to be completed, he felt that coming to Luan Xinghai was the right thing to do.
After establishing the foundation, he no longer needed the protection of the sect. Instead, it was the trivial matters of the sect that held him back, preventing him from cultivating wholeheartedly.
After closing the wooden door again, twelve years passed in a blink of an eye.
...
One day, Luo Hong was fighting fiercely with two second-level red fire ants near the red part of the colorful ring. After skillfully dodging the fire pillars they spewed, he used a white flying knife to hit their limbs.
With a few sharp chops, he was beheaded instantly.
Suddenly, two considerable amounts of evil energy entangled themselves, and Luo Hong smiled with satisfaction.
After initially dealing with the ant general with the Yuan family, Luo Hong did not kill all the red fire ants on the island. It was not impossible but unnecessary.
After all, red fire ants live deep underground, so hunting them down is hard work but does little good.
But what surprised Luo Hong was that in the first year after the colorful giant ring was formed, the group of red fire ants moved quietly, and with the help of the pure fire aura in the colorful giant ring, they continuously gave birth to second-level ant generals.
After Luo Hong found out, he immediately massacred them. If these red fire ants were allowed to multiply and advance, they might destroy the large formation he had set up.
After the killing, Luo Hong was surprised to find that he had gained a lot of evil energy!
After a little calculation, the result is that the evil energy gained by killing a second-level ant general is 20% more than that of killing the foundation-building demon cultivator of Tiansha Sect. It seems that this kind of evil insect is born with
There is a good evil spirit.
With this unexpected gain, Luo Hong's practice of Iron Cauldron Golden Body Kung Fu quickly entered the fast lane, and he has now reached the eighth level.
Coupled with the three newly engraved dragon bone silver runes on his spine, his physical strength is completely different from that of twelve years ago. However, he always dresses like a Confucian scholar, has a fair complexion, and looks frail.
Virtual.
After cutting off the jaws of two newly born second-level ant generals, Luo Hong burned their remains, released the restraint, and drove two more adult red fire ants into the fire bath he built. Almost a month later,
I can harvest evil spirits again.
Just as he was about to return to the wooden house to practice, a warning signal suddenly came from the island protection formation.
Someone broke in!
Luo Hong frowned. This was the first time in twelve years that someone had broken in. He didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly flew over to check.
However, just as they were halfway through flight, several more auras broke into the formation, seemingly chasing the person in front.
Luo Hong pondered for a moment and then increased his escape speed to the extreme. With his current cultivation level at the peak of foundation building, he turned into a long rainbow and escaped to the island protection formation in a short time.
This formation is a maze arranged by Luo Hong with the help of sea fog. It has no lethality, but it can make people get lost in it. No matter how they fly, they can only enter from one end and exit from the other end, making the intruders mistakenly think that there is nothing in the sea fog.
.
Only immortal cultivators who have reached the late stage of foundation building can see through this formation, but it is not easy to break it.
...
"Senior Brother Ma, the spirit-pulling technique sensed that the female cultivator is not far away. We have been chasing her for so long, shouldn't we not even be able to see her figure?"
In the sea fog, three rays of light with different brilliance suddenly stopped. They were all monks in the foundation building stage, and they were all wearing black robes. They were obviously in the same group.
"The mist here is not simple. It seems to be able to blind people's consciousness. Junior Brother Xin, I remember that your magic weapon has miraculous effects on breaking illusions. You might as well try it."
Senior Brother Nama has a cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building and is the leader among the three.
As soon as he spoke, the monk next to him who was in the middle stage of foundation construction took out a painting scroll. After instilling magic power to urge it to unfold, he saw a ferocious beast painted on it, with two fist-sized beast pupils shooting out.
Tao Huangmang.
Wherever it swept, the mist dispersed one after another, and soon I found Jing'er who was so anxious in the mist that her face turned red.
"Haha, I thought this woman had set some kind of ambush here, but I didn't expect that she was just running away in a panic."
The monk who used the spirit-drawing technique sneered and was about to fly up to capture the opponent, but heard a misty voice coming from the sea of fog.
"Three of you came here uninvited, what are you doing?"
Luo Hong's voice came from all directions, making the three of them alert.
"Who are you? My senior fellow apprentice is hunting down the key criminals of our sect, please don't interfere!"
Senior Brother Ma's expression was solemn. They were obviously in each other's formation. If the other party was a foundation-building monk like them, it would be a bit tricky.
"Senior brother, this person only said that the three of us came uninvited. He is obviously working with the female cultivator and should be careful."
Junior Brother Xin whispered, his hand clasped on the storage bag, ready to take action at any time.
"Brother Luo, save me! Their target is you!"
After Jing'er heard Luo Hong's voice, her face suddenly showed the joy of surviving the disaster, and she shouted loudly.
"Oh? It's inappropriate for the three of you to force your friends like this for the sake of me."
As Luo Hong spoke, he dispersed the fog to reveal his figure, and used his eyes to signal Jing'er to hide beside him.
"Hmph! You are pretending to be a ghost! It turns out that you are the formation master, but you are just a monk in the Qi refining stage. You dare to tease me and others, and you are captured without hesitation!"
The monk who performed the spirit-drawing technique drank angrily, dispersed the spell in his hand, and used a pair of golden long swords.
"The three of you are showing murderous intent. It doesn't look like you just want to capture me. Before you take action, can you tell me where you offended your noble family?"
Luo Hong asked calmly.
"You don't have to know, just be a fool!"
The man's face turned cold, and he immediately flew forward, driving a pair of golden swords to attack Luo Hong and the other two, intending to kill them both!
"Junior brother, be gentle and leave his soul intact."
Senior Brother Ma ordered calmly.
"Yes, it's time to keep the soul."
Luo Hong said coldly, and in an instant he sacrificed five top-level magical weapons. In addition to leaving the spirit-swallowing shield to defend himself, the other four swords, spears, spears and crutches all attacked the monk who made the move.
"Not good! This person is a cultivator in the fake alchemy realm. Junior brother, please retreat!"
Sensing Luo Hong's burst of mana, Junior Brother Xin's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed at the scroll above his head with one hand, and his mana surged wildly.
Immediately, the ferocious beast in the scroll rushed out and faced the bone spear driven by the opponent, giving the charging junior brother a chance to retreat.
However, when the four-legged beast, which was several feet long, was hit by the bone spear, half of its body flew away, turning into a black ink stain and flying back to the scroll.
"You can't kill me, I'm...ah!"
The defensive magic weapon that the monk who took action hurriedly sacrificed had no power at all. It was surrounded by Luo Hong's four top-level magic weapons. After just one strike, the shield was shattered and the man died.
Huh! No matter who you are! Since you are plotting my life, there is a way to kill me!
Luo Hong glanced at the remaining two people with cold eyes, and took out two top-level magic weapons from the storage bag.
He had killed so many Demon Cultivators of the Tiansha Sect on the border battlefield before, and had collected so many fine magical weapons that he could still get them even if the number were doubled.
Senior Brother Ma couldn't believe the scene in front of him. With his cultivation in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he could only produce three top-level magic weapons with all his strength. Could this person be a monk in the Danjie stage?
"Your Excellency, I have something to say!"
Junior Brother Xin's soul was so strong that he realized that he had hit a brick wall today, so he began to plead hard.
Luo Hong ignored them, and his powerful spiritual consciousness drove six top-level magic weapons to crackle and attack, killing the two men in a moment.
He just wanted to capture the souls of these three people, but when he scanned them with his spiritual consciousness, he found that their souls dissipated the moment they died.
It stands to reason that even if the souls of monks in the foundation-building stage are separated from the protection of the physical body, they can still remain in the world for a while. The current situation is obviously that the souls of these three people have been restricted.
As soon as they die, the ban will be activated to destroy their souls to prevent anyone from making a fuss about their souls.
A sect that can act like this must have many monks in the foundation-building stage, and it must be a powerful sect.
The expression on Luo Hong's face remained unchanged, but in fact she felt uneasy. She recalled the past and eagerly wanted to know who she had offended.
"Brother Luo, it turns out you are a foundation-building monk! Great, you can definitely save Brother Yuan!"
After Jing'er recovered from the shock, she immediately begged with tears in her eyes.
"Fellow Taoist, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?!"
Luo Hong frowned and asked warmly.
"More than ten days ago, Brother Yuan and I went shopping on Tiandu Street. When passing by Lanyunge, we heard someone asking about Brother Luo from the Yi family. Brother Yuan thought he was an old acquaintance of Brother Luo, so he walked up to talk to him.
If anything urgent happens, he can come and inform Brother Luo.
In the end, the other party just said that they wanted to ask Brother Luo to set up the formation. After a few words of excuse, Brother Yuan left Tiandu Street with me without leaking Brother Luo's whereabouts.
Immediately afterwards..."
When Jing'er talked about her sadness, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. She covered her face and cried:
"As soon as we left Kuixing Island, Brother Yuan told me that we were being watched. He asked me to come here directly to find Brother Luo, while he stayed to attract spies.
I was so frightened that I ran away day and night, but I was still caught up when I got close to this place. Only then did I realize that the person who was targeting us was the Foundation Establishment Monk.
Brother Luo, you must save Brother Yuan!"
"I'm inquiring at Lanyun Pavilion?"
Luo Hong pondered for a moment and then asked:
"How has the situation of Lanyunge been in recent years?"
"I don't know. My husband and I have been practicing on Jinbo Island for many years and rarely go to Kuixing Island!"
Jing'er couldn't stop crying. She was too scared when she was being chased and didn't think about Yuan Xingping's situation. After she was safe, she thought of the three people shouting and killing, and she immediately understood that her husband was in danger!
Luo Hong sighed, Yuan Xingping was probably captured by someone searching for his soul. He couldn't stay here for long and had to close the formation immediately.
"Friend Daoist, please be safe. Please wait here for a while. I'll go to the island to clean up first, and then I'll go with you to Kuixing Island to rescue Brother Yuan."
"Senior Luo, please don't lie to me!"
Jing'er's eyes were filled with determination and resentment, which made Luo Hong feel slightly ashamed.
Although Yuan Xingping did bad things with good intentions, his love for Luo Hong as a friend is true.
If he died, Luo Hong would inevitably feel uneasy.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, if something happens to Brother Yuan, I will definitely avenge him!"
After leaving a promise, Luo Hong flew back to the island, stood on the top of the volcano again, turned the formation disk, and withdrew the ten soul-changing formations that maintained the five-color giant ring.
Immediately, the colorful spiritual light faded away, and the huge amount of spiritual energy that had been restrained in the giant ring for many years turned into a wave of spiritual energy that swept across the island, and then dispersed in all directions.
Then, Luo Hong recycled the reusable formation materials and dismantled the entire formation. When it was the turn of the final underground formation, he hesitated for a moment and only took back the demon bead.
Destroy the formation.
"Xiao Jin!"
Hearing Luo Hong shout loudly, a golden light eagle with a wingspan of nearly two feet cried and fell from the sky. It folded its wings and stood in front of him, tilting its head as if asking, "Why is her home missing?"
After more than ten years of growth, Xiao Jin has become more and more handsome, and has advanced to a second-level monster, but he is still underage and still has potential to be tapped.
"We have to move, so we'll go back to the Spirit Beast Bag to stay for a while."
Luo Hong touched her head and comforted her, then opened the spirit animal bag and put it in.
Finally, before leaving, Luo Hong used two flying knives to destroy the red fire ant's nest and fished out the plump queen ant.
After sealing it with the prohibition, put it into the spirit beast bag.
The Iron Cauldron Golden Body Skill has not yet been fully developed, and until Luo Hong finds a better target to brush off evil spirits, the red fire ant will always have a place in the Five Evil Spirit Gathering Formation.
After spending a long time cleaning up, Luo Hong put away the fog-locking sky maze that protected the island and came to Jing'er, who was already waiting very anxiously.
"Fellow Taoist, let's get going."
Just hiding is not the answer when something happens. If Luo Hong wants to know who he has offended, he must go back to Kuixing Island to find out.
Of course, if the opponent is too strong, he will definitely take revenge as a monk.
Jing'er looked at Luo Hong with a complicated expression. She clearly felt the violent spiritual energy fluctuation just now. The resentment that was about to occupy her heart suddenly turned into awe after the spiritual energy wave passed.
