On the main peak of Wushan Mountain, in the spiritual chamber at the base of the mountain, Luo Hong was sitting cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by five bronze round bottles, with a very high-grade spiritual material floating above them.
The five auras of different colors and belonging to the five elements flowed towards Luo Hong's body like ribbons, causing his body surface to emit a vast treasured light.
As time went by, the five elements of spiritual energy in the spiritual material were gradually extracted. After shaking twice, it fell into the bronze round bottle below like a mortal object.
At this moment, the bronze round bottle is almost half full.
After absorbing enough spiritual energy from the Five Elements, Luo Hong changed the technique in his hand, and his face began to change between five colors, just like the exquisite orb he saw that day.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Hong's complexion finally returned to normal. He opened his eyes and checked the progress of the exercises shown on the physical examination form.
The progress of the second level of the Great Five Elements Holy Technique has reached 92.21%, and it will be completed soon!
In addition, relying on the ultra-high spiritual pressure in the main spirit chamber over the years, his cultivation has also made great progress. He has already stood at the threshold of the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he can break through it with one more step forward.
But at this time, Luo Hong felt some obstacles at the bottleneck of the small realm for the first time.
The spiritual sense told him that without the help of some external force, it was impossible to break through just by absorbing and refining spiritual energy.
After all, using spiritual pressure to practice has the limitation of shielding effect and cannot increase the speed of practice infinitely.
Just when Luo Hong was thinking about going to Old Mo Han to get some elixirs to eat, he sensed a transmission note rushing into the restriction outside the stone door.
Senior Brother Linghu is looking for me?
Luo Hong's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to capture the transmission note in his hand.
After hearing the contents, he couldn't help but look shocked, then his eyes narrowed, and he began to ponder with a solemn expression.
The Mulan people actually had a way for me to practice the innate Five Elements Body. This was really unexpected!
Although there is only one word difference between the acquired Five Elements and the Innate Five Elements, their magical powers are worlds apart.
It is recorded in the classics that all acquired things are overcome by the corresponding innate things, and the relationship between them is like a son and a father.
If the acquired Five Elements Body only greatly reduces the effect of the Mulan people's spiritual arts, then the innate Five Elements Body can guarantee that they will not be harmed at all by the Mulan people's spiritual arts.
Although these superficial benefits are attractive enough, Luo Hong has even greater ambitions.
Acquired things evolve from innate things. This is a natural process in the world of immortality, a basic rule like water flowing to a lower place.
Since nature can evolve into nurture, then nurture can naturally turn into nature. If you can see through the rules, the benefits will be endless.
“With such a big bargaining chip, I don’t even want to get out of seclusion!”
Luo Hong was undoubtedly moved.
Fortunately, due to the increased progress in practicing the Great Five Elements Holy Technique, the hidden dangers in his physical body have been greatly alleviated, and he no longer has to take a handful of blood pills for nothing.
Pushing open the stone door, Luo Hong turned into a blue escaping light and entered the main hall at the top of the mountain in a few breaths.
"Junior Brother Luo, is this seclusion and treasure refining going well?"
Ancestor Linghu asked casually.
Among immortal cultivators, this kind of greeting is as common as "Have you eaten?" among mortals.
"There's still a little bit to go before we can do our best, but there's no rush."
After many times of spiritual ascension, Ancestor Linghu completely mistook the main spirit room for a treasure refining place. After all, the violent spiritual energy in the spiritual tide could never be used for cultivation.
After exchanging greetings with Ancestor Linghu, Luo Hong turned to Le Yun who was not far away, and politely said:
"Master Le, you are fine.
I wonder how the nobles can help Luo develop the innate Five Elements Body, you and I both know how difficult it is."
"My Mulan clan has a sacred object that has been passed down since ancient times. Its name is the 'Colorful Stone', which contains an innate Qi of the Five Elements.
If it is refined, Fellow Daoist Luo will most likely gain the innate magical power of the five elements."
Le Yun said carefully with a cold face.
"With just one innate energy, the success rate seems not very high."
Luo Hong naturally hoped to get as much research material as possible, so he pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, our Mulan clan only has one piece of this kind of sacred object. This is the greatest sincerity our clan can show!"
Le Yun suppressed the anger in her heart and felt extremely aggrieved.
Luo Hong had already expected the other party's answer. Treasures like the five-colored stone could only be found under Xuantian's treasures and were difficult to find in this world. He was just testing it out.
"Why on earth did the nobles pay such a high price? Although Luo boasts that his magical powers are not weak, he is no match for you, the four great masters of Mulan.
What the four noble masters cannot do, why do you think Luo can do it?"
Although the treasure is good, life is more important. If it is too dangerous, Luo Hong will never get involved.
"Our clan just wants to invite Fellow Daoist Luo to enter a secret realm with cultivation restrictions and bring out some spiritual materials that are crucial to our clan.
With the magical power of fellow Taoist Luo, his life will definitely not be threatened.
As for the specific situation, I also ask Fellow Daoist Luo to go with me to our clan’s temple, and the divine masters will naturally explain it to you at that time.”
When Le Yun saw Luo Hong showing signs of loosening her mouth, she felt slightly reassured.
"Haha, that's it."
After Luo Hong pondered for a moment, he said to Leyun again:
"Master Le, please wait outside the hall. Luo will have to discuss this matter with Senior Brother Linghu."
Le Yun had said everything she needed to say, and it was up to Luo Hong to decide what to do next, so she turned around and walked out of the hall without hesitation.
"Junior Brother Luo, is it too dangerous to go to Mulan Temple?"
As soon as Leyun left, Ancestor Linghu became worried.
If Luo Hong were in the wild and met the four great masters at the same time, he would definitely be able to escape with his life.
But if this is a temple that has been passed down by the Mulan people for countless years, and under the suppression of countless restrictions, the probability of Luo Hong's hatred cannot be ignored!
"I have used mystical techniques to investigate, and what this woman said is not false.
In fact, the Mulan people had invited me once five years ago. To pay such a high price to invite them again today must be because they had no other choice.
Although this trip is risky, it is not too big.
Besides, that colorful stone is really important to Luo and cannot be let go easily."
Luo Hong said with a solemn expression, already making a decision in his heart.
"Since junior brother has to go, I don't want to persuade you much.
As for Junior Sister Yu, I will take care of you for a while, so Junior Brother doesn’t have to worry about this when you are away."
Ancestor Linghu sighed slightly, cultivating immortals is about fighting for your destiny from heaven, and it is impossible without taking risks.
When he was young, he traveled through countless dangerous places and secret realms. Otherwise, how would he be able to achieve his current level of cultivation?
"Senior brother who knows me well, Luo would like to thank you!"
Luo Hong cupped her hands and thanked her, then turned and walked out of the hall.
When Le Yun saw him coming out, her expression suddenly became strange. She immediately took out her black robe and put it on again, and said:
"There are less than five years until the secret realm opens. There are still some preparations to be made before then. If Fellow Daoist Luo is determined, we'd better get on the road immediately."
Although Luo Hong noticed something strange about Le Yun, he didn't want to waste his time trying to guess the female cultivator's thoughts, so he nodded lightly and said:
"Since it's so urgent, let's take Luo's magic dragon boat and hurry up."
As he spoke, Luo Hong summoned a spiritual boat from the treasure bag that seemed to have a black dragon clinging to it.
This boat was obtained by Luo Hong from the storage bag of the master of the Yinluo Sect. Its escape speed is several times faster than that of the monks in the late Yuanying period. It is an excellent treasure for traveling.
