In the quiet little valley, Xiao Che was looking around for a more secluded place to practice.
Although he didn't find any traces of monsters in the valley, it would be a bit crazy to heal his wounds or practice on the grass openly.
You must know that the field of vision in this valley is relatively wide. Once he practices swallowing souls and causing relatively large fluctuations, it is not surprising that he will attract some monsters.
He didn't want to be attacked by some monster while practicing, nor did he want to find a ferocious and poisonous snake lurking next to him after waking up from practicing.
So it is imperative to find a place to practice.
Xiao Che's eyes kept scanning the steep mountain walls around the valley. The valley was full of life, and the vegetation on several mountain walls was also quite prosperous. Suddenly, his eyes focused and looked at some places with overgrown weeds.
Several dark holes appeared.
These caves should be naturally formed. The reason why weeds grow luxuriantly is probably because the topography of the caves causes rainwater to accumulate. It is said that where there is water, there is life, so naturally, the vegetation will be more prosperous.
Seeing this, Xiao Che couldn't help but be overjoyed. These caves were quite well concealed, and they were located at higher locations so they didn't have to worry about sudden attacks by ordinary monsters. He just hoped that there wouldn't be any monsters living in them.
Xiao Che quickly chose a cave with good location and concealment, put the Evil-Destroying Sword on his back, and a green light flashed under his feet, and then a breeze made his body become extra light. He tapped his toes and jumped up.
, landed on the protruding rocks on the mountain wall, and took advantage of the situation to jump upward again. Like a flexible ape, he quickly pushed aside the weeds at the entrance and entered the cave.
There is a slight coolness inside the cave. The area is not large and it should not be able to house any monsters, but it is more than enough for Xiao Che to recuperate and practice.
Out of caution, Xiao Che carefully scanned the floor, walls and other places inside the cave for several times. After finding no traces of any monsters, he felt a little relieved.
After roughly cleaning the cave, he took off his dirty and damaged clothes and put on a set of clean clothes. The old clothes were placed on the hard ground and used as soft cushions, which was also considered waste recycling.
Immediately, Xiao Che dusted off the dust on his body and used the power of the red sun to condense a small light source, illuminating the relatively dim cave.
After doing this, Xiao Che grinned, exhaled a long breath, and soon his face returned to its usual calmness.
Time was tight and he could not afford to delay, so he immediately sat down cross-legged, reached out and took out the few remaining healing elixirs and some spiritual herbs in the package, and threw them into his mouth. Then, he put his hands in front of him in a practice gesture.
The handprint slowly restores the power of the sun and moon and the energy of the thunder attribute consumed in the body.
Before practicing Devouring Souls, he must stabilize his own condition and repair the damage caused by the previous Nightmare Beast and the mental exhaustion caused by the continuous fighting for several days.
As Xiao Che calmed down, his breathing gradually became calmer.
Breathing in and out, forming a perfect cycle, with each breath cycle alternating, wisps of lavender air flow will emit from the whole body, and then follow his breathing, mixed with the energy of the elixir, and slowly enter it.
In the body, the damaged meridians, bones and internal organs were repaired, and finally flowed into the purple sea of qi in his Dantian.
So safe
Healing his wounds quietly and reviving his breath, Xiao Che's mind sank into his body. Under his inner vision, he could clearly see that the severely damaged bones and flesh and blood in his body were being repaired bit by bit.
After practicing "Sun Burning" and "Moon Leading", his physical strength is already extraordinary, and after initially mastering the Sun and Moon Demon, his body's repair ability has completely surpassed that of ordinary monsters. At this moment,
Under the control of his mind, his body's recovery speed was several times faster than usual.
Time gradually passed, and Xiao Che's mind continued to shuttle between the trunk, bones, meridians and the empty purple sea of air.
As his physical injuries gradually improved, he focused more on the sea of qi as the source of true qi, and vaguely, the true qi in it also began to grow.
This healing process lasted about four hours. A few thin rays of moonlight faintly filtered in from outside the cave entrance, and before I knew it, night had quietly fallen.
"Huh!" After adjusting his energy and spirit to a normal state, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes as deep as the starry sky changed from the previous fatigue, with a few rays of light looming.
At this moment, he had just fully recovered from his injuries. If he hadn't been in good health, it would have been impossible for him to recover so quickly.
Xiao Che looked inside his dantian, where the two seeds of red sun and black moon were spinning slowly, their luster was quite dim, and the sea of thunder attribute Qi was also somewhat empty. Apparently at this time, neither the power of the sun and the moon nor the thunder attribute Qi had been restored.
To the best condition, not to mention the Tianque destiny card perched between the eyebrows.
Compared with other powers, cultivating the original life force is his biggest problem. In his current state, it is simply more difficult to successfully condense the original life card than to reach the sky.
"Forget it, don't think about this anymore, let's see what surprise this 'Swallowing Soul' can bring me!" Xiao Che shook his head, threw away some distracting thoughts, and took out three life cores from the package beside him.
They are the dark life core, the fire life core and the earth life core with the most majestic aura.
Except for the fire element core, which was the winning prize in a gambling battle between him and Feng Falcon's deputy leader Zhang Li, the rest were all obtained by beheading them with his own hands.
He looked at several life cores with different brilliance flowing around, and was slightly stunned. Soon, his mind fell silent, and the somewhat complicated formula of the secret technique "Swallowing Souls and Devouring Souls" appeared in his mind.
When the spiritual master taught him this secret method before, he explained that it came from the devil's way, and its effect was probably to pull out the demonic life force belonging to the monster beast in the life core, for the cultivator to absorb, and then convert it into his own life force.
.
Although it sounds simple, Xiao Che feels that the process may not be smooth sailing. Just from the domineering and cruel name of Devouring Souls, he can hear some risks.
"When you practice Soul Devouring, you must guard your mind and don't be controlled by the soul consciousness of the demonic beast in your life core." The calm voice of the Spirit Lord suddenly sounded in Xiao Che's mind.
"The soul consciousness of a demon beast without a master?" Xiao Che asked doubtfully.
"Of course, the life core of monster beasts is the most important thing in their bodies. Under normal circumstances, when they initially transform the demon crystal into their life core, in order to make it have higher potential, they will separate their souls.
If a ray is integrated into the life core, the speed of cultivation will be greatly increased." The spirit master said with a smile.
Xiao Che has not yet touched upon this knowledge, but when the Spirit Master said this, he understood it immediately.
"Uh... this swallowing of souls is a secret method of magic. There shouldn't be any side effects from practicing this thing, right?
"Xiao Che asked rather uneasily. He had heard that many magic secrets could injure the enemy by one thousand, but inflict eight hundred losses on oneself, or they would consume life, or affect the soul, so he asked this question.
Hearing this, the Spirit Master looked quite dissatisfied. He didn't know Xiao Che's concerns, and coldly snorted: "From a vulgar worldly perspective, who said that the secrets of the devil's path will have negative effects, it's just a rumor. Remember, when you are practicing,
At that time, if you keep calm and keep your mind, nothing will happen."
"Uh." Although he was despised by the Spirit Master, Xiao Che breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words.
Focusing his attention on the three life cores with different attributes in front of him again, he carefully recalled the complex secret method engraved in his mind, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.
Some of the words in the secret method are indeed a bit cruel and cruel. Absorbing the life force in the life core is nothing. If you have a high level of cultivation, you can directly swallow the power of the life core in the body of the monster. Its essence even involves swallowing human life masters.
It is a way to strengthen one's own original life force. Is this secret method not evil as the spiritual master said?
As if he could see what Xiao Che was thinking at this moment, the Spirit Master's expression changed from his usual casual look. At this moment, he was somewhat solemn and solemn, and he said seriously: "Boy, please remember one sentence, a heart must be upright. The secret method depends entirely on the user.
Original intention."
"A righteous heart leads to righteousness." Xiao Che murmured. He understood this truth, but when he heard it from the spiritual master, he had another feeling.
"Okay, practice as soon as possible, don't waste time!" Spirit Master interrupted his meditation and urged.
"Remember to keep your mind close."
"Alas, it seems that cultivation will not be smooth sailing." Xiao Che sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.
Immediately, he made up his mind and planned to start practicing this soul-devouring spirit.
"Which one should I start with?" He looked at the three life cores of different colors and fell into difficulty in choosing.
"The Earth Life Core comes from the Mountain-Splitting Demonic Ox. It is the strongest and has the strongest soul consciousness. Don't choose it on your first try. Start with the other two." The Spirit Master made timely suggestions.
Hearing this, Xiao Che nodded slightly, rolled his eyes, and finally settled on the red fire core.
The auras of the Fire Life Core and the Dark Life Core are not much different, and the level of the remnant souls in them is almost the same. The reason why he didn't choose the Dark Life Core first was because of his dislike of the Shadow Rat, and secondly because of his cultivation.
He chose "Scorch of the Sun", and to a certain extent, the fire element was more suitable for his physique than the dark element.
Taking another deep breath, he moved his palms to the top of the fire element's life core, and immediately held it tightly, silently reciting the mantra of swallowing souls and the difficult words of prosperity.
As he opened his mouth, it was like Buddhist sutras floating in the cave.
Not long after, a strange suction force gradually emitted from his palms, as if there were two small vortexes placed in his palms, and they began to slowly absorb the energy of the fire core.
At this time, the fire-type life core seemed to have spirituality. It felt the danger and began to tremble slightly. Then, the fire-type monster sleeping in it suddenly transformed from its form. It was a head covered with fiery red clouds.
The flaming pig with tattoos, the fangs and fierce look, and the red demonic energy spilling out were like clusters of flames. Suddenly, the flaming pig let out a violent roar, turned into a ray of fire, and rushed straight towards Xiao Che's head.
