Several demon-companing grasses that he had already spotted flew straight into the jade box with their roots covered with mud.
There was a "click" sound.
Bai Ran closed the jade box neatly, with a hint of joy on his face.
It's really unexpected that the demon companion grass can be obtained so easily.
However, you can't stay here for long! Bai Ran was about to turn around, and when he was flying out of here, a faint voice sounded from behind.
"You stayed nearby for so long just for these few plants. Human monks are really a bit strange!" These were the words of a strange man.
Bai Ran's expression changed drastically, and his face turned extremely ugly!
But then he forced himself to calm down. After a moment of stature, he turned around with a gloomy expression.
Where he entered, there stood a demon cultivator in green robes, looking at him with curiosity.
As soon as he saw the other person's appearance clearly, Bai Ran's mouth felt bitter for a while.
This demon has a silver crown on his head and hemp shoes on his feet. Except for his small green eyes and his horny pointed nose, the rest of his body is just like a human man.
Bai Ran's eyelids twitched wildly a few times.
How could such a monster that almost completely transformed into a human form be an eighth-level monster? Could it be the legendary ninth- or tenth-level monster?
Bai Ran's body suddenly stiffened. Although he already had the Five Elements Ring and a spirit beast bag in his hands, he didn't dare to take action rashly.
"Your Majesty, you've already noticed this." Bai Ran felt that his voice was dry and unpleasant.
But after the demon cultivator opposite heard this, his expression changed and he chuckled softly.
"Yes, I discovered it the day you first arrived. At first, I thought you were just a passing human monk, so I didn't pay much attention. Who knew that in the following days, you would actually stay on a nearby reef?
I won’t leave. This piqued Feng Mou’s interest.” The green-robed demon cultivator narrowed his eyes and said, revealing a pair of snow-white teeth.
I don't know if there was some misunderstanding, but Bai Ran felt that the other party's teeth were too sharp, and there was a faint cold light shining in his heart.
"The surname is Feng? So, the other party is really the adult cracking wind beast." Bai Ran's heart sank as he thought.
"In that case, why didn't you take action earlier?" Bai Ran asked with a forced smile.
"I would have liked to see fellow Taoist monks earlier. However, Feng has just completed the second stage of his transformation and is in the process of stabilizing his body. It is not appropriate to forcefully go out. Now that I have just completed my solidification, I am about to leave. But I didn't expect that,
My friend actually came to my lair on his own. This really surprised Feng." Wind Splitting Beast said with a weird smile on his face.
"Second level of transformation? Could it be the ninth level that I just entered." Bai Ran's face turned a little pale, and the hand holding the Five Elements Ring was dripping with cold sweat.
"Level 9? This is how you humans classify our monster clan. Yes, the second stage of our transformation is equivalent to what you call the ninth-level monster." This monster is an adult Split Wind Beast.
Xiu, blinked his eyes and replied casually.
Hearing the other party's frank admission, Bai Ran became silent. But after a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched into a wry smile.
If it were an eighth-level monster, he would still have a slight chance of survival at his own expense. But facing a ninth-level monster cultivator, he almost gave up the idea of leaving.
It seemed that his own downfall was really unavoidable.
Thinking of this, Bai Ran stopped talking. Suddenly he opened his mouth and sprayed out more than a dozen green lights, surrounding himself.
Then he raised one hand to take out the spirit beast bag.
But at this moment, the demon cultivator opposite made a move.
Bai Ran's eyes flashed, and with a flick of his hand, the spirit beast bag was snatched away by the opponent.
Although the dozens of flying swords that protected his body were blocked in front of him, the opponent's speed was too fast. Before he could strike down, the opponent had already retreated to his original position.
After Bai Ran was shocked, his face turned blue.
How could he forget that the Split Wind Beast was originally a high-level monster known for its speed.
And the speed of the level 9 Wind Splitting Beast, at such a close distance, is probably almost the same as teleportation. How can he hurt the opponent?
In an instant, all kinds of messy thoughts poured out in my mind.
A strange color of blood appeared on his extremely white and livid face.
He pressed the storage bag with one hand, and a bright golden ball appeared in his hand.
Bai Ran quickly raised his hand and swallowed the ball into his belly. Then he looked at the green-robed demon cultivator opposite and said nothing.
He had already thought about it. Before he died, he must use the evil-proof thunder to detonate the dried blue beads in his belly.
In this way, even if the other party cannot die together, it will definitely cause the other party to be severely injured.
Seeing Bai Ran's strange behavior, the Split Wind Beast showed a hint of surprise on his face. But then he smiled indifferently.
"Hey! Why are fellow Taoists so impatient? I didn't say I wanted to harm fellow Taoists!" He grabbed the spirit animal bag, tossed it around casually, and said with a strange expression on his face.
"What do you mean? Aren't you demon cultivators killing human cultivators?" Bai Ran frowned and said in a cold voice.
He didn't want to be teased by the other party before he died.
"The people who are now at war with you humans are only about the affairs of the nearby sea clan. Feng is not under their jurisdiction. I just like the Phosphorus Fire Tan here and I will settle here temporarily." The wind-splitting beast curled its mouth and shook its head.
Bai Ran was stunned!
Only then did I remember that the Split Wind Beast is a monster between a sea monster and a monster bird. It cannot be completely regarded as a sea monster. And judging from the other party's tone, it doesn't seem to be a local monster cultivator.
Did the other party really have no intention of killing him? Bai Ran's face became uncertain.
After a moment, Bai Ran took back all the flying swords in his body with a wave of his hand, and his expression softened slightly.
Since Feijian can't deal with the opponent at all, I might as well be a bachelor. If the opponent deceives me, the worst he can do is use dry blue ice beads to self-destruct.
When he saw Bai Ran, he took the magic weapon back. The split wind beast showed a satisfied look.
"I like to deal with smart humans. I'll give this back to you first." The man didn't even look at what was in the spirit beast bag and threw it back to Bai Ran.
Bai Ran raised his hand to catch it, feeling more at ease.
"Fellow Taoist, are you interested in being a guest in this real cave? This is the first time Feng has invited a human monk?" The demon cultivator stared at Bai Ran and said something that was beyond his expectation...
Although the Split Wind Beast said so politely, Bai Ran dared to refuse, so he could only nodded with a wry smile.
Seeing Bai Ran agree, the Split Wind Beast showed a bit of joy on his face.
Without saying anything, he raised his hand, and a cyan ball of light appeared in his hand. Then the ball of light instantly enlarged, covering Bai Ran within it.
A strange color flashed on Bai Ran's face, but he did not resist. After seeing a flash of green light, he pulled him to the side of the Wind Split Beast.
With a "pop" sound, the ball of light brought the two of them directly into the pool. Then they fell straight down.
Because the light ball itself emits a faint green light, Bai Ran can clearly see the nearby water world.
I don't know if it's because of the weirdness of the water in the pool, but except for a palm-sized white strange fish, there were no other fish nearby.
There are no shrimps, seaweed or anything like that.
Seeing that Bai Ran seemed to be very curious about the scenery under the pool, the split wind beast smiled lightly and said nothing.
After about a meal, the photomask stopped sinking, and after a slight shock, it flew to one side.
In the blink of an eye, a huge black stone door appeared in front of you. The white light flashed on the stone door, and it seemed that there was a restriction.
"Here we are, this is Feng's dwelling. I hope fellow Taoist won't laugh at you." The Split Wind Beast pointed at the stone door and said extremely politely.
Bai Ran forced a smile and didn't say anything.
Seeing that the light mask directly hit the stone door, the stone door opened on its own.
Suddenly, the light mask passed through a layer of white curtain, sending the two of them into a dry passage.
This passage is colorful, and the stone walls are inlaid with large longan pearls of various colors, which complement each other like daylight.
"Fellow Taoist, please!" The cracking wind beast looked at Bairan with a look of surprise, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
These round beads are not just ordinary pearls. They were obtained by going deep into the depths of the seabed and specifically looking for psychic shellfish that have lived for thousands of years. Each has some miraculous effects of repelling water and warding off fire.
Bai Ran looked at the passage in front of him, and he really didn't want to go in, but under the gaze of the ninth-level monster beside him, he still took the first step.
The green-robed wind-splitting beast followed closely behind.
The passage was not too long, and in a blink of an eye, we arrived at a gorgeous hall decorated with corals of various colors.
In the center of the hall, there is a pure white jade table, and several chairs also carved from beautiful jade. There is an antique small tripod in each corner, with a black incense candle as thick as a finger inserted in the tripod, and there is a faint sound.
A fresh fragrance comes out.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat!" Splitting Wind Beast sat down on a chair in a dignified manner, and then waved to Bai Ran.
Bai Ran didn't say anything, and Yi Yan sat opposite the demon cultivator.
"I'm kidding, Feng hasn't asked fellow Taoist what's your last name? I'm Feng Xi." Split Wind Beast half-squinted his eyes and asked gently.
"My surname is Li!" Bai Ran hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"Haha, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li. Fellow Daoist must be a little confused in his heart. In fact, if other human monks appear in front of Feng, although Feng does not belong to the sea tribe, he will most likely be grabbed to death by one claw. Humans
There can never be any harmony between you and us demon cultivators." Feng Xi touched the silver crown on his head and said with a half-smile.
"So, what else is special about this junior in the eyes of Senior Feng?" Bai Ran felt a chill in his heart and asked with a forced smile.
"You are only in the middle stage of pill formation, but you dare to go deep into this place boldly. You must be relying on the magic of Qi Condensation!" Feng Xi said slowly with a green light in his eyes.
"Qi-condensing technique?" Bai Ran was startled, and suddenly remembered the nameless formula in the animal skin book.
"Yes, your qi-refining technique looks familiar to Feng. He has seen it from an old friend before. But the strange thing is that this set of exercises should be the secret technique of my old friend. You are a human being
Monk, how do you know how to use this?" Feng Xi asked with a strange expression.
Naturally, Bai Ran would not mention the animal skin book easily. He didn't know how to answer for a while and fell silent.
Seeing Bai Ran's expression, Feng Xi leaned back slightly and chuckled.
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry. My old friend has been dead for many years. I don't have any intention of asking fellow Taoist to explain. I'm just a little curious about how humans can use our demonic secrets. The biggest reason why Feng didn't take action against fellow Taoist
, It is still because you are practicing extremely pure wood-attribute skills. Otherwise, fellow Taoist fellow Taoist would not be able to sit here alive," Feng Xi said nonchalantly.
The reason why the other party didn't take action was actually because of the properties of the technique. After hearing this, Bai Ran was really surprised and had a look of astonishment on his face.
Feng Xi looked at Bai Ran's surprised expression and didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his hands over. After a flash of white light, a simple gold pot appeared on one palm, and an exquisite white jade pot appeared on the other hand.
cup.
Then he lifted the wine pot and poured the extremely green liquid into the jade cup. A rich and fragrant aroma of wine instantly filled the entire hall.
The humanoid monster took a deep breath, with a look of obsession on its face, but with a flick of its finger, the jade cup slid smoothly to Bai Ran.
"Come, fellow Taoist Li, try Feng's homemade Biyan wine first. It takes more than a hundred years to brew a jar of real spiritual wine. It will also have a slight gain in cultivation. Maybe fellow Taoist can take the opportunity to make a breakthrough.
Where is the current bottleneck!" Feng Xi stared at Bai Ran and said meaningfully.
When Bai Ran heard this, he was startled at first. He lowered his head and looked at the liquid in the wine glass, feeling horrified in his heart.
The other party could even tell at a glance that his cultivation was stuck at the bottleneck, which was really a great deal of magical power.
But Bai Ran didn't believe that this wine could help him break through his bottleneck.
He did not know how many pills he had swallowed to improve his cultivation. If he could use the medicine to break through his cultivation, he would have already cultivated the ninth-level Qingyuan Sword Technique. Will he wait until now?
Besides, how could he dare to drink the wine without knowing what the other person's intentions were.
As these thoughts circulated, a look of hesitation appeared on Bai Ran's face.
A cold light flashed in the Split Wind Beast's eyes, as if he could see Bai Ran's thoughts, and his expression suddenly darkened.
"What! Are you afraid that Feng will do something in the wine? Don't forget, I really want to take the life of fellow Taoist, but it only takes a few seconds!" Feng Xi said coldly.
"Senior is right. But I still want to understand the real reason why I won't kill you first. Otherwise, I'd rather be more careful." Bai Ran's face turned pale, but after taking a look at the wine glass in front of him, he still gritted his teeth.
said.
The other party's intention of wanting him to drink the wine became more and more obvious, and he suddenly became suspicious.
Feng Xi seemed a little surprised, his face immediately turned cold, and his body exuded a gloomy aura.
Bai Ran's heart "thumped", and the real energy in his body instantly enveloped the dry blue ice beads in his abdomen. He stared at the other person cautiously and said nothing.
After a long while, Feng Xi frowned and his expression softened again. "It seems that he didn't tell the truth. Fellow Daoist Li really misunderstood Feng's kindness." After pondering for a while, Feng Xi said in a deep voice.
"This green flame wine is not only troublesome to refine and takes hundreds of years, but also must use a transformation-level demon elixir as the main raw material. And only we, the Split Wind Beast clan, can brew this wine. The other demon cultivators,
Even if there is a formula, I can't do it because of my talent.
Refined into wine. For me, this wine can only satisfy some appetite. But for a monk in the alchemy stage like Taoist friend, after drinking it for the first time, it is very likely to stimulate the body.
The true energy in the body breaks through the bottleneck of cultivation."
"Of course, I will give such precious things to fellow Taoist Li to drink, mainly for myself. Feng needs to use fellow Taoist's wood attribute skills to do an important thing. But the cultivation level in the middle stage of forming pills is too low.
A little bit. In fact, ordinary monks have reached the end
In the later stage of the elixir, it is still a little bit worse for me. But your skills are quite extraordinary, and your magic power is far more profound than that of monks of the same level. In this way, you can barely help. Of course, Fellow Daoist Li insists.
Taoist friends should be very clear about the consequences if you don't drink this wine!"
Feng Xi knew that if he didn't explain everything clearly, the other party wouldn't do anything wrong, so he just said the above words directly.
After hearing these words, Bai Ran's expression changed several times. After a while, he asked again dryly.
"If I drink this wine, why can't I break through the bottleneck?"
"Hehe! Then Fellow Daoist Li is of no use. And it's not easy to refine Feng's Biyan Wine, so I'll use Fellow Daoist's life as compensation!" Feng Xi sneered, but told him calmly.
Although Bai Ran had already guessed the consequences, after hearing these words, his face still twitched.
"Okay, I'll drink!"
After thinking about it for a short while, Bai Ran's uncertain expression faded and he took a deep breath and said.
When Feng Xi heard this, he immediately showed joy.
Bai Ran slapped the table with one hand, and after a flash of blue light, the green liquid in the wine glass automatically turned into a line of water and flew into his open mouth.
Bai Ran didn't even taste the taste, the liquid went straight into his stomach.
"Okay. I know that fellow Daoist Li will make a wise choice. Come with me, I have already prepared a quiet room." Feng Xi said with a satisfied look on his face.
Then he stood up and walked to a side door.
Bai Ran followed him with a calm expression without saying a word.
Under the leadership of this demonic cultivator, Bai Ran turned around a few times and arrived in front of a flaming red stone wall.
After taking a closer look, Bai Ran was surprised to find that this shiny red stone wall was actually cut from an extremely huge coral reef.
When Bai Ran was confused, Feng Xi stretched out his hand and pressed on the coral wall. A white light flashed, and a hole about ten feet wide appeared automatically.
"Just refine this bar in the secret room. According to my estimation, it will take at least half a year for you, fellow Taoist, to be done. At that time, I will release the restriction and let you come out." Feng Xi pointed at the entrance of the cave, but
He said animatedly.
Bai Ran looked at it and walked into the cave entrance expressionlessly.
At this point, it would be unintentional to say anything else!
As soon as Bai Ran entered, the cave entrance behind disappeared instantly.
Only the demon cultivator Feng Xi was left outside.
Feng Xi stood there and did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the fiery red coral wall with a trace of strange excitement on his face.
After a moment, a white light flashed and it disappeared out of thin air.
...Bai Ran in the coral wall is looking at this so-called secret room.
The space here is not small, it is thirty or forty feet long and forty feet wide, and it is seven or eight feet high.
But except for a gleaming green jade couch in the middle, there was nothing else.
What makes Bai Ran a little strange is that the surrounding walls are actually filled with small round pits, which look like pockmarks and look a bit weird.
After Bai Ran looked at it with a gloomy face for a while, he walked to the jade couch and sat down cross-legged, gently closing his eyes, and at the same time, his consciousness centered on himself and began to slowly let go.
As a result, a moment later, as soon as his spiritual consciousness touched the surrounding walls of the room, they all bounced back as expected.
Later, Bai Ran used his spiritual consciousness to search all the blind spots, but there was no loophole that could be exploited.
Bai Ran frowned slightly and opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Bai Ran got off the jade couch and walked directly to a wall of the room.
After squinting at the coral wall in front of him for a while, Bai Ran raised one hand and stretched out a finger.
In an instant, a dazzling green sword light shot out from the fingertips, several inches in size, and flickered uncertainly.
