Chapter 274: Refining the star stone, the way home
In the dense mountain forest, Xiao Che was sitting cross-legged on the branches of a towering tree, repairing the energy he had consumed. On a rock not far from him, a rabbit covered in red blood was also caught in some kind of repair.
In this state, its exquisite and small nose can be seen slowly twitching, and with every breath, wisps of fine white air are absorbed into its body, making it look like it is absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
"Spirit Master, do you know what race and bloodline this rabbit is?" Not long after, Xiao Che ended his cultivation state, his eyes fell on the violent rabbit, and asked curiously.
"I don't know." The figure of the Spirit Lord floated out slowly, stroking the sparse beard on his chin, with a rare hint of doubt in his deep eyes.
"Here, there are monsters that you don't know about?" Xiao Che was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he was ignorant and didn't know the race of this rabbit, but he didn't expect that even the Spirit Master couldn't see its details clearly.
.
"Hmph! What do you know! The demon race is a race that is particularly prone to mutations. Just like the special attributes of human life masters, the demon tribe will also undergo mutations in attributes or bloodline.
Monsters of the same race will mutate due to the influence of certain environments that stimulate potential factors in their bloodline, producing monsters of different races. The combination of monsters of different races will also give birth to bloodline mutations.
Monsters. Due to different factors such as the degree and direction of mutation, the offspring of monsters will show different characteristics and talents. The number of such mutated monsters is quite large. In addition to being able to form groups and
Except for monsters whose bloodline can be inherited stably, other mutated monsters generally do not have specific racial names."
Listening to the explanation of the Spirit Master, Xiao Che suddenly understood and said in surprise: "So, this rabbit is a mutated monster?"
"That's right, there is no such rabbit with blue eyes and red fur among the known rabbit monsters, and there is no sign of any matching in terms of attributes." The Spirit Master nodded and changed his tone: "However,
This rabbit’s bloodline is quite strong, at least it’s a high-ranking bloodline.”
"High-level bloodline?" After hearing this, Xiao Che was stunned, and the look of shock flashed in his eyes. Monsters of high-level bloodline were no different from divine beasts in his realm, and monsters of medium-level bloodline could reach this level in adulthood.
In the Fusion Realm, monsters with high-level bloodlines can at least reach the Psychic Realm as adults, and maybe even higher!
"Yin~~~"
While Xiao Che and the Spirit Master were talking, the Violent Rabbit had already regained some of its energy. Shaking its silky red hair, it jumped down from the rock and slowly walked up to Xiao Che. Its pair of eyes were as deep as stars.
His blue eyes stared at Xiao Che, making his heart skip a beat.
The violent rabbit's cute head flicked, and something came out of his mouth. A dark blue stone.
"Huh?" Xiao Che looked down and saw that it was a dark blue stone with sharp edges and corners. It was only the size of a pigeon egg, but it showed obscure and strange fluctuations.
Xiao Che could not recognize the stone, but he was deeply attracted by the unique aura emitted by the stone.
"It's actually a star-refining stone of excellent quality!" Ling Zun recognized the dark blue stone at a glance and said with slight surprise.
"Star Refining Stone? What is this?" Xiao Che asked blankly.
"Your Evil-Destroying Sword is still a sword embryo. Although it has condensed a bit of spirituality on its own, it may take some time to become a low-grade spiritual weapon. But if you have this star refining stone, the situation will be different."
"Can this star refining stone enhance the spirituality of the Evil-Slaying Sword?" Xiao Che's eyes were filled with joy.
"Not only that, it can also enhance the smoothness of the spiritual weapon's movement of true energy and life force. Although the star refining stone in front of you
Although it is only the size of a pigeon egg, it is not a problem to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon!"
Hearing the words of the Spirit Lord, Xiao Che's eyes suddenly shone. He was also quite troubled about the upgrade of the Evil Killing Sword. After all, the material of the Evil Killing Sword itself was too good, and it was not an ordinary weapon refining material.
It was useless to it, and the precious material was priceless, so for a while he could only ignore the matter. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Star Refining Stone appeared in front of him.
"You want to give me this star refining stone?" Xiao Che suppressed the joy in his heart, looked at the violent rabbit, and asked.
"Yin~~~" Violent Rabbit nodded, making a sound like a wind chime, and its dark blue eyes flickered a few times.
"Is this a thank you gift?" Xiao Che couldn't help but find it funny. This was the first time he received a thank you gift from a rabbit. At the same time, he also had some changes in his view of the rabbit. He was not blindly arrogant and unreasonable.
Seeing that Xiao Che accepted the Star Refining Stone, the Violent Rabbit no longer stayed. It glanced at Xiao Che arrogantly, suddenly turned around and ran towards the depths of the dense forest, and its figure quickly disappeared from Xiao Che's sight.
middle.
Seeing the violent rabbit leaving gracefully, Xiao Che couldn't help but feel a little regretful. In his heart, he also had the idea of signing a contract with this rabbit. After all, it was a monster of high bloodline. Not to mention him, even a strong man in the psychic realm would do it.
Very excited.
"I'm overthinking it again..." Xiao Che shook his head, feeling that his idea was a bit unrealistic. How could a violent rabbit with its arrogance easily sign a contract with a human being? Even if he saved it, it would be impossible.
"Oh, by the way, Spirit Master, didn't you say that there is a seal in the rabbit's body that constantly consumes its power? Is it okay to let it go like this?!" Suddenly thinking of this, Xiao Che said with some worry.
The Spirit Master looked at the direction in which the rabbit was going, and said slowly: "Let it go! Demons and humans are the same. They all need to experience some setbacks and hardships to grow and transform. The seal in the rabbit's body is like
It’s your destiny card. It’s an obstacle that is difficult to overcome, but if you can overcome this obstacle with your own strength, you can be reborn and turn into a butterfly!”
Hearing this, Xiao Che fell silent, thinking about the profound meaning of Ling Zun's words. After a long time, the confusion in his eyes finally dissipated, replaced by the light of enlightenment.
What Lingzun said is right. He has always regarded the talent card as a shackle that restricted him from becoming stronger. Now think about it, although this shackle is heavy and strong and restricts his growth, if he continues to use it
Breaking this so-called shackles is not a stepping stone for him to reach the top of the road?
After thinking about this clearly, Xiao Che suddenly felt that his spiritual platform was much clearer, his heart felt pure and natural, and his already firm mind became more and more unshakable!
Seeing Xiao Che's enlightenment, the Spirit Master also showed a trace of relief without any trace. Watching this boy continue to grow, he also became more and more looking forward to what his future would be like.
"Okay, your strength has recovered to 80-90%, and you have almost collected the light life cores. In this area of the Qingling Mountains, there are not many monsters that can threaten you, and they won't have much of an experience effect.
Leave this mountain range as soon as possible!" Spirit Master urged.
"Yes." Xiao Che nodded. There were only four or five days left before the start of the Yuexi Festival. Naturally, he would not stay too long, and he was also a little worried about the situation in Yuexi City.
In the ruins, many forces know his identity and strength, including many large forces that have ill intentions towards him, such as the Feng family and the Lin family. The Xie family's vacillating attitude towards their mother and son over the years has also left him with no idea.
, although my mother now lives in Lin Qian
Shan's mansion is protected by Lin Qianshan, but with the power and means controlled by the Feng family and other forces, it cannot be said to be absolutely safe. All in all, it would be safer for him to rush back to Yuexi City as soon as possible.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Che stopped delaying.
On the way back, the monsters he encountered were getting weaker and weaker. When he stepped into the outer area of Qingling Mountains, almost all the monsters he encountered were in the realm of three lines, four lines and five lines. To him, there was nothing at all.
threaten.
Of course, being cautious at heart, Xiao Che did not relax his vigilance, but his forward speed was several times faster than when he entered the mountains.
After traveling for a day and a night, Xiao Che finally found that the surrounding woods had become looser, the diameter of the big trees had gradually shrunk, and even the aura between heaven and earth seemed to have faded a bit.
Feeling this change, Xiao Che finally breathed a sigh of relief. The training that lasted for nearly two and a half months was finally over...
In the early morning of the next day, the warm sunshine dispelled the coldness of the night. The moment it fell on Xiao Che, a warmth flowed through his body. After practicing the Sun Burning Heart Technique, the sunlight fell on his body as soon as it fell.
It was absorbed by the Seed of the Red Sun and transformed into quite pure power of the Red Sun.
Xiao Che looked at the broad plain in front of him and the official road not far away with a smile. He was about to move forward, but found that he was going in the wrong direction.
"Let me go, this doesn't seem to be the direction leading to Yuexi City?" Xiao Che looked a little weird. Although the Qingling Mountains are vast, he is still a mercenary with some experience, so he shouldn't go in the wrong direction.
?Moreover, he made sure that his direction would not deviate along the way.
"Forget it, let's ask for directions first!" Putting aside some distracting thoughts, Xiao Che quickly came to the nearest plank road.
The plank road is the passage between cities. When ordinary civilian caravans or mercenary commanders go to a city, they will choose the plank road instead of climbing over the mountains and ridges. On the one hand, the official road is wide and flat, and on the other hand, they rarely encounter
Bandits or monsters.
At this moment, there were many civilians, businessmen and mercenaries on the plank road that Xiao Che was on. He did not hesitate and directly asked a middle-aged man in simple clothes and learned that this plank road did not lead to Yuexi City, but to Yuexi City.
It leads to its neighboring city, Bishui City.
"Bishui City is not far from Yuexi City. Instead of taking a detour, it would be faster to go to Bishui City first and then take the plank road between the two cities!" Xiao Che thought for a while and decided on the route.
Just when he had just taken a few steps, there was a sudden clatter of horse hooves on the plank road behind him. The sound was so powerful that it seemed that even the ground was shaking.
"Get out of the way!" Along with the roar of horse hooves, a high-pitched and casual voice sounded.
Xiao Che turned around and looked, and what he saw were three strong and tall horses with white hair. They were Snow Cloud Horses that were as fast as mid-level monsters. Riding on the Snow Cloud Horses were three young men.
Two men and one woman, both of whom were not weak in cultivation, galloped wildly along the way, causing pedestrians to retreat!
However, with the speed of Xueyunju, ordinary people cannot easily dodge it. Even low-level life masters are in a hurry in front of it, and some ordinary civilians have no time to dodge and almost fall under the iron hooves.
Seeing that Xueyunju was about to step on the bodies of several civilians, the owner of Xueyunju did not slow down at all. Instead, there was a touch of aloof indifference and contempt in his eyes.
"There are people like this everywhere!" Seeing the indifferent eyes of several people who regarded human life as nothing, Xiao Che couldn't help but feel angry. He tiptoed and turned into a shadow and flew out!
