In just three years, his martial arts has broken through the twelve main meridians, as well as the eight extraordinary meridians: Du, Chong, Dai, Yangwei, Yinwei, Yinqiao, and Yangqiao, leaving only Ren.
The twenty-four acupuncture points in the meridians have not yet been opened.
The development of more than 600 acupuncture points, if Xu Rui was allowed to practice Qi on his own, let alone three years, or even thirty years, would be a profit.
And now, with the help of a six-tailed demon fox in the early stage of his soul, and almost all of his magic power, he has successfully made a big step forward in his martial arts cultivation.
As long as he opens up all twenty-nine acupoints on the Du Vessel, he can start to break through the martial arts soul.
However, the further back you go, the more difficult it is to open the acupuncture points.
Now that there is no ice energy to transform spiritual energy, if he wants to break through, he only has to practice hard for a period of time.
After three years of absorption and refining, the six-tailed demon fox's soul, head, limbs, six-tails, and most of the ice on its torso have completely disappeared.
Only on its chest, there was an ice crystal about ten feet long, as thick as an adult's arm, with sharp ends that looked like a piece of blue-white crystal, deeply embedded in its body, straight into its lungs.
Xu Rui felt the mysterious ice charm in it.
"Is this part of Shangguan Ce's 'Nine Ningbing Ice Thorns' that you mentioned?"
"That's right. The Nine Ningbing Ice Thorn is Shangguance's fundamental magic weapon. It is made from nine thousand-year-old ice crystals. It can be transformed into nine, and can be separated to fight the enemy. It is very powerful."
Hu Shou's tone was full of excitement.
He does have reason to be happy. The ice energy that has entangled him for nearly a hundred years and almost killed him has only the 'ice thorn' at its source. As long as it is removed, he can completely clean up the ice energy in his body.
Restore health.
For him, there is nothing better than this.
"Please bear with it," Xu Rui said.
This 'icy thorn' has been in Hu Shou's soul for nearly a hundred years, and has almost merged with his soul.
If it were pulled out, it would also be a severe blow to his weak soul.
And it's extremely painful.
"Master, feel free to do whatever you want."
Hu Shou gritted his teeth and said.
Although I know it will be very painful and will severely damage my soul, but compared with completely eliminating the ice thorn that has entangled me for nearly a hundred years and even almost killed me, it seems unimportant.
Xu Rui nodded.
The qi and blood in the body slowly began to move.
Rumble….
At first the sound was like rolling boulders, but later it felt like being in the Yangtze River, with the churning blood almost like giant waves rolling and surging like thunder.
Under the powerful energy and blood, Xu Rui's whole body was shrouded in a red light, like a god.
After gathering all his energy and blood, Xu Rui put on a pair of high-class spiritual weapon-level gloves that he had worked hard to refine.
He suddenly grabbed the ice thorn.
In an instant.
Biting coldness spread.
Xu Rui didn't dare to neglect and used all his strength to pull out.
Swish.
The foot-long ice thorn was pulled out directly.
Ouch.
The six-tailed demon fox Hu Shou roared in pain.
Xu Rui held the ice thorn in his hand and repeated his old trick, throwing the Kongming spirit leaf into his mouth. Then he threw the spirit leaf into his mouth.
The cold air broke out and was quickly suppressed by Golden Finger.
The restrictions in the ice thorns and the trace of soul left by Shangguan Ce were all erased.
After feeling the coldness subside, Xu Rui took out the Kongming Spirit Leaf, felt the restrictions inside that were damaged by the coldness, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"It needs to be warmed up again."
Looking at the glove on the right hand, it is completely worn out.
After all, Kongming Lingye still has room to accommodate the ice thorns, weakening part of the cold air.
And since this glove was in direct contact, it was 100% impacted by the thousands of years of ice-piercing cold air, so naturally it couldn't hold on.
But now Xu Rui has the ability to refine high-quality spiritual weapons, and has obtained a lot of high-quality spiritual materials from killing enemies, so it doesn't hurt to lose one.
With a thought in mind, he took out the ice thorn.
Without the restriction, the cold air is greatly weakened.
Just relying on his strong Qi and blood, he was able to withstand the cold air above.
"Eight thousand years of ice crystal, seventh grade top grade."
Xu Rui looked at the ice crystal in front of him that was one foot long and as thick as an adult's thigh, and looked excited.
This is a seventh-grade top-grade spiritual material.
But as happy as he is, he is destined not to use it.
Although his current weapon refining skills can refine high-quality spiritual weapons, if he wants to cross the threshold and refine magic weapons, there is no hope in half a century.
If he were to practice with the method of the natal spiritual weapon, he would not be able to use it since he did not practice the Ice Way.
"When I return to the sect next time, I'll see if I can change it to a seventh-grade high-grade spiritual material with wind or thunder attributes."
Take out the Taiyi Staff and brush it.
Heavy seals and spiritual light sealed the thousand-year-old ice crystal.
However, given the strong cold energy of the other party, he will probably give you the soul-eating rod, so you need to strengthen the seal from time to time.
Let’s look at Hu Shou’s spirit again.
It has become a translucent existence, and its aura has faded by nearly half compared to when it was almost solid.
It can be seen that Xu Rui's pull completely damaged his vitality.
However, despite his injuries, Hu Shou's soul was filled with vitality.
The spiritual energy around him continued to pour in, and was quickly absorbed and refined by him, replenishing the consumption in his body.
Without the constraints of the ice thorns, Hu Shou's life was no longer in danger, and his mana, body, and spirit were all recovering quickly.
"Thank you sir, I have recovered."
Hu Shou's tone was trembling, and you could tell how excited he was at this moment.
"Your illness is gone and you should recover well. We will wait until you recover your cultivation."
"yes."
Hu Shou was lagging behind and couldn't wait to transfer his spiritual energy and restore his cultivation.
Xu Rui didn't bother him either.
He took out Qingyunju and flew in.
Anyway, Hu Shou's Dantian is large enough, and the vast space of 36 feet is enough to accommodate his Qingyun Ju, which is the size of his farmland.
When he came to the refining room, he took out the Xuanhuojian and played with it for a while before sighing.
He also tried to throw this thing into the Kongming Lingye to use the method of dealing with the Ice Thorn and the Innate Black Lotus Lamp to erase the 'Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array' inside and completely master this treasure.
It's a pity that the 'Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array' in the Xuanhuojian is intended to protect and not take the initiative to attack. Golden Finger does not think it is a threat, so naturally he will not suppress it.
His plan failed.
Facing this treasure, Xu Rui felt like a mouse pulling a turtle.
A bag of tricks.
A nine-foot-long silver spear flew out.
It's the wind and thunder gun.
Xu Rui shook it in his hand and shook his head.
"Too light."
Now that his physical cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core, his strength has increased by nearly 10,000 kilograms compared to before. Of course, he can no longer hold a wind and thunder gun that weighs several hundred kilograms.
"It must be practiced again."
Xu Rui patted the magic bag, and with a flash of black light, an iron block the size of a washbasin with silver stars on its surface appeared in front of him.
This is the seventh-grade low-grade spiritual material ‘Star Spiritual Iron’ that Mirage found for him.
Xu Rui was previously limited to the conditions and it has been useless.
Now that we have the Innate Black Lotus Lamp, it is not difficult to refine this ‘Star Spiritual Iron’.
With a wave of his hand, the lid of the Taiyi Zizhi stove opened.
The Star Spirit Iron flew in.
Xu Rui waved the Taiyi Staff, and the 'Innate Black Lotus Lamp' sealed in it merged into it.
With a thought in his heart, he activated the magic ban on the Zizhi stove, and the surrounding spiritual energy was instantly absorbed.
The six-tailed demon fox that was absorbing the spiritual energy also immediately noticed the abnormality, but it did not make a sound. If it gave half of the absorbed spiritual energy to Xu Rui.
With the support of spiritual energy, the light of the innate black lotus lamp instantly expanded and turned into a lotus flower the size of a millstone, enveloping the star spirit iron.
Although the Taiyi Zizhi Furnace is only an eighth-grade high-grade spiritual weapon, it stands to reason that it should not be able to support the light of a seventh-grade high-grade innate black lotus lamp.
But now they were in a huge magma lake, surrounded by exploding flame aura.
The rich flame spiritual energy is far easier to use as fuel for spiritual fire than ordinary spiritual energy. This is also the reason why the spiritual fire of the innate black lotus lantern can be maintained.
Under the burning of the powerful seventh-grade superior spiritual fire, the star spiritual iron melted quickly.
Then it was continuously refined.
This is a necessary step for refining weapons.
However, while Xu Rui was refining the weapon, he was tens of thousands of miles away, deep in a huge valley close to the edge of the wilderness.
An old man wearing a navy blue robe, with gray hair and a serious breath suddenly opened his eyes.
The powerful aura filled the entire room like a storm.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by dozens of degrees, and snowflakes fell from the sky.
Naturally, the person with such tyrannical cultivation of the Ice Path in the entire Fenxiang Valley is the famous Shangguan Ce.
"The ice thorn I left in that six-tailed demon fox was forcibly broken?!" Shangguan Ce frowned.
Although he was tens of thousands of miles away, as his own magical weapon, he could vaguely detect some information.
However, this information completely disappeared after Xu Rui used his golden finger to directly break the ice thorn's restriction and the trace of soul left by Shangguan Ce.
The only explanation for this situation is that a powerful person or demon took action to remove the ice thorns from the six-tailed demon fox's body.
"Without this ice thorn, it would be difficult to find him. More importantly, did the six-tailed demon fox sell it to survive? If not, it would be best, but if so, they would burn incense.
Gu will face more troubles."
Thinking of this, I became hesitant for a while.
But he also knew that these things could not be delayed.
With a flick of his fingers, the light flew out of the door.
Soon, a rhythmic knock on the door came.
"come in?"
The closed door opened, and a young monk wearing a bright red robe opened the door and walked in.
"See Elder Shangguan."
"Go see the leader quickly and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."
"yes."
The young monk hurried away.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Xiaoliu to be so powerful that he could remove the ice thorns you left behind?"
A young female voice appeared in the seemingly empty hall.
Shangguan Ce snorted coldly, "Tianhu, I know you have the magical power to spy on other people's minds, but so what if you know it? You are not imprisoned here by me in Fenxiang Valley, unable to move for a moment."
"As for the six-tailed demon fox. Hmm, even if he eliminates the coldness in his body and recovers his cultivation, the first thing he will think of is to come to the Xuanhuo Altar to rescue you."
"As long as he dares to come, I will send him back to the west again."
What he said was unparalleled domineering.
The charming female voice appeared again after a long time.
"Shangguan Ce, you Fenxiang Valley has a good idea. You will be imprisoned here and the Fox Clan will come. Then you can easily take back the Xuanhuojian and destroy the remnants of the Fox Clan like us."
"However, you and that old dog Yun Yilan made the wrong calculation this time. I gave them an order a long time ago. Even if I die, I will never come to your Fenxiang Valley again."
Shangguan Ce snorted coldly, "I'm too lazy to talk to you. Let the facts speak for themselves whether you will come or not."
