The first thing Su Xing did after returning to Xiaozhu Peak was to take out the beast core excavated from the corpse of Shadow Spirit Fox.
The animal core glowing with sea blue light was placed on the table, like a piece of exquisite crystal, lighting up a corner of the house.
"The Shadow Spirit Fox, a seventh-level ferocious beast that specializes in illusion techniques, happens to have a water attribute in its core. I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing this time when I went down the mountain to carry out the task assigned to me by the sect."
Su Xing played with the beast's core and couldn't help but sigh.
"I wonder how helpful the beast core of the seventh-level ferocious beast is in cultivating the phantom body."
With this thought, Su Xing no longer hesitated, and quickly sat on the futon, placing the beast core in front of him.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to activate the Devouring Creation Technique. For a moment, he saw the shadow spirit fox's beast core suddenly radiating with light, and a faint thread of light slowly flew into Su Xing's body.
An hour later.
In the quiet bamboo house, streams of mist-like gas suddenly rose from Su Xingduan's sitting body, as if the water in his body was evaporating along the pores on his skin.
This vision lasted for as long as a cup of tea. After the white steam completely enveloped Su Xing, there was only a "swish" sound, and the figure sitting in the white mist began to become blurry.
Su Xing's limbs were the first to become blurry, followed closely by his torso, and in the end even his entire body became illusory.
"call--"
Su Xing opened his mouth slightly and absorbed all the misty white steam into his mouth. The humid room suddenly became dry, and his body returned to its original state.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the blue phantom light flashed in the dark pupils, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
"call."
Su Xing exhaled a breath and looked at his hands.
His fingers were slightly clenched, and his arms suddenly became blurry, with ripples spreading along the palms to his wrists, and finally to his shoulders.
Driven by this strange fluctuation, Su Xing's arms seemed to have escaped into the void, making it impossible to see clearly.
"I didn't expect that the core of a level 7 ferocious beast could be worth dozens of pieces of level 5 beast core. It allowed me to step into the realm of the phantom body in one fell swoop."
Feeling the changes in his body, Su Xing was surprised and happy inside.
"After cultivating to the first level of the phantom body, your body will become illusory, making the enemy unpredictable, and you will have strong resistance to illusions."
"If you just want to cultivate to the second level of the phantom body and achieve the effect of the 'Illusion of Singleness', I'm afraid you have to absorb at least hundreds of fifth-level beast cores, or... a dozen or so beast cores of seventh-level ferocious beasts."
With hundreds of level five beast cores, even if he had enough skills to easily kill a level five beast, he didn't have that much effort.
As for the seventh-level ferocious beast, it is not something he can consider at this time. Not all seventh-level ferocious beasts in the world are called shadow spirit foxes, but even one shadow spirit fox is enough for him to drink a pot.
He recalled the scene of the duel with the fox in the temple yesterday morning. He had used all his methods: Chaoyang Body, Meteoric Swordsmanship and Seven Evil Spirit-Slaying Formation.
Each move was linked to another, and it took him three days of effort to prepare it completely, and it also caused a lot of consumption on himself.
"It seems that progress on the phantom body will be slowed down for the time being."
With that said, Su Xing took out the blue stone that Zhang Lusheng gave him.
Compared with the beast core of the Shadow Spirit Fox, the blue light emitted by this stone is deeper. The blue stone is crystal clear and is truly crystal-like.
However, no matter what method Su Xing used, whether it was soul power, vitality, or Gang Qi, he could not awaken the stone at all.
In desperation, he had no choice but to stop thinking about this strange stone.
The Wanling Mountains are unfathomable. Who knows where the previous head of Xiushui Village went before discovering this stone?
However, even if this stone really has no effect on warriors, it can still be used as an exquisite jewelry. Su Xing finally placed the blue stone on the bedside, acting like a night pearl.
After resting, Su Xing left Xiaozhu Peak and flew towards Luyan Peak again.
After successfully completing this immortal-level mission, the Law Enforcement Hall rewarded Su Xing with three hundred immortal-level contribution points. With these contribution points, Su Xing was able to find another good martial arts secret book in the Kung Fu Pavilion.
…
During his third visit to the Gongfa Pavilion, Su Xing already knew the location of most of the books. He quickly shuttled between the bookcases, so fast that many disciples were shocked.
The purpose of this visit to the Gongfa Pavilion is the same as before, which is to improve the progress in Devouring Creation Art as soon as possible.
Now, Su Xing has mastered four secrets: Chaoyang Body, Kaiyuan Jue, Qingxin Jue and Phantom Spirit Body.
But among them, there is only one Xuan-level secret book for the Phantom Body, which is of greater help in improving the Devouring Creation Technique.
In order to break through the first level of "unity" that swallows the art of creation as soon as possible, he needs to absorb more advanced secrets.
After searching for a while, Su Xing took out a low-grade Xuan-level exercise called "The Sutra of Subduing Demons" from the bookcase.
"Su Xing, it's not that my uncle told you...it's just that these few times you've been to the Kung Fu Pavilion, why do you always spend so many points on secret books?"
The elder on duty in the Gongfa Pavilion today is the one who copied Su Xing's phantom spirit body last time.
Unexpectedly, in less than two months, Su Xing would come here again to borrow spiritual practice secrets.
Moreover, this elder was more thoughtful and looked at Su Xing's previous borrowing records. Unexpectedly, he found that Su Xing had borrowed a book of Qingxin Jue half a year ago!
Seven months, three secret books?
Is this kid aiming to become a warrior, or is he aiming to become a demon?
The elder has been guarding the Gongfa Pavilion for many years, and has never seen a disciple who despises Dao Xin and Dao Ji so much.
And he was surprised to find that Su Xing was not only practicing multiple secret books, but also...
Most of the practitioners of "Phantom Spirit Body" are practitioners of water-attributed vitality. "Subduing Demon Sutra" is a compulsory secret book for most disciples of Shenji Taoist Academy. The cultivators mainly focus on fire-attributed vitality.
And he clearly remembered that Su Xing was a cultivator of wood attribute energy!
"this……"
The guarding elder looked very confused. He had been practicing martial arts for so many years, and he had never encountered such a difficult problem to answer.
In his opinion, Su Xing was not only walking on the edge of the cliff called being possessed by fire, but he was also practicing secrets that were useless to him.
It was a waste of time and contribution points. If Su Xing hadn't become famous in the sect now, he would have really wanted to say "not following the right path."
"Oh, that's all. I'll discuss this matter with Du Jia in the future."
In the end, the elder was defeated by Su Xing's serious and respectful expression and took out the transcript for him.
"Su Xing, during the journey of martial arts, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and do not show off your talents. Once you find that your Taoist mind is unstable, it is best to stop as soon as possible and rest for a while to stabilize your Taoist mind."
The elder's sincere words warmed Su Xing's heart, but now that time was running out, he could no longer hide his selection of secret books.
After thanking the elder, Su Xing turned around and walked towards Baibao Hall.
After purchasing the Sutra of Subduing Demons, there were still fifty contribution points left. Su Xing was going to Baibaotang to buy some more elixirs to restore the warrior's spirit and repair his body.
The mental and physical toll that the battle on Gufeng had taken on him should not be underestimated. Without the help of elixirs, it would probably take some time for him to fully recover to his original strength.
After buying the elixir from Baibaotang, Su Xing was about to return to Xiaozhu Peak, but he didn't expect that just as he stepped out of the main door, a shout came to his ears.
"Junior Brother Su Xing, Junior Brother Su Xing!"
He turned around and looked, and it turned out that a senior fellow from his Taoist academy was running towards him in a panic, waving his hand.
He remembered that this senior brother's surname was Li Guangming, and he had been practicing in Yuyang Taoist Temple for more than a year, but he had yet to break through to the Huayuan Realm.
Li Yan ran to Su Xing in a panic, bending over and breathing heavily, looking very anxious.
"Senior Brother Li, what happened?" Su Xing asked.
Li Yan raised his head and looked at Su Xing, with a pleading expression on his face, and said, "It's the Shenji Taoist Academy, the Shenji Taoist Academy!"
"Shenji Taoist Temple?"
"Junior Brother Su Xing, you don't know something. Since you severely humiliated Niu Mang a few days ago, a disciple from Shenji Taoist Academy came forward to defend Niu Mang and started to come to provoke the disciples of our academy."
"He originally came to look for you, but after learning that you were out on a mission, he began to bully some of the weaker junior brothers and sisters in our hospital. Finally... Senior Sister Zhou Qinghan couldn't stand it anymore, so she promised to fight with him on your behalf.
.”
Su Xing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "When will they have a decisive battle?"
"The duel ended yesterday..." Li Yan suddenly looked lonely.
"What was the result?"
"Senior Sister Zhou Qinghan was defeated. Although she did not suffer any serious injuries, she still had to rest for at least a week. And according to the sect rules...Senior Sister Zhou Qinghan also gave up her position of twenty-one on the ranking list to the other party, and now she is only ranked No. 2
Twenty-nine.”
Su Xing frowned, and a cold flame flashed in his eyes.
"What's that person's name?"
"Qin Zicheng, he is now at the pinnacle of Huayuan Realm! I also heard about Junior Brother Su that you came to Luyan Peak today, so I came to tell you about this. Junior Brother Su Xing, what should we do?"
"Walk."
After listening to what Li Yan said, Su Xing raised his legs and took steps.
"Junior Brother Su, where are you going?"
"Go to Shenji Taoist Temple and find Qin Zicheng!"
After saying so, Su Xing tossed his yellow robe and strode away.
