After some emotion, Phantom Color Spirit took the lead, followed by Lin Tianheng and continued deeper into the cave, followed closely by Lin Wuhai.
About three thousand meters deep into the ground, the temperature inside the cave suddenly increased. Compared with the outside world, the temperature here has reached the point where it is uninhabitable for ordinary humans, but it is still bearable for Foundation Establishment monks.
When five thousand meters deep into the ground, the temperature in the cave had risen to the point where Lin Tianheng had to use his spiritual power to resist. At this moment, he stopped and stood on the edge of the platform, looking down at the billowing heat waves in the cave below.
Coming at you.
After seeing this, Lin Tianheng asked suspiciously to Lin Wuhai, who had just come down: "Uncle Lin, isn't there magma underneath this ground?"
"No, the underground temperature here is affected by the lava mountains, so it is much higher than other underground temperatures!" Lin Wuhai explained Lin Tianheng's doubts.
"I see, then let's continue!" Lin Tianheng suddenly realized,
After saying that, he continued to jump down to the entrance of the cave and went deeper into the ground.
When the depth reached eight thousand meters, a bright crystal was inlaid on the stone wall of the platform in the cave. This discovery further confirmed Lin Tianheng's conjecture.
Looking at the fist-sized bright crystal on the stone wall, Lin Tianheng said gratefully: "This senior is so considerate. I just discovered that the structure of the stone wall has changed. There are no bright stones anymore. I was worried that I would not be able to see the road.
I didn’t expect that this senior would have solved this problem long ago!”
"Keep going deeper, there are still two thousand meters to go!" Lin Wuhai urged Lin Tianheng after coming down.
"Yeah!" Lin Tianheng responded, then jumped into the hole and continued to go deeper.
A moment later, as Lin Tianheng jumped to the last platform, looking at the bright light emitting in the last cave, he couldn't wait to jump down.
When he landed on the ground, Lin Tianheng was stunned.
The underground space is not small. It is made of rocks on all sides. The rock surface is as smooth as a mirror. It is naturally formed at first glance. The grotto is about twenty or thirty meters long and about ten meters wide. There is a slope on the ground rock, and a line of purple mist gathers in the middle.
The spiritual springs converge into a deep rock depression to form a small spiritual pool. Although it is a spiritual pool, it is only about the size of a bathtub.
The intensity of spiritual power in the entire space is more than ten times higher than that of the outside world, and it has exceeded the effects brought by ordinary spirit gathering arrays. And this is just next to the spiritual pool. If you are directly immersed in the spiritual pool, it will be impossible to estimate.
How many times the outside world.
The colorful spirit had already soaked in the spirit pool early and was splashing happily in the pool, making a splash of water. Lin Tianheng ignored the colorful spirit and went upstream along the spiritual stream.
Following the Lingxi River, he came to the stone wall. He looked at the spiritual liquid seeping out from under the stone wall. After pondering for a moment, he turned to Lin Wuhai and asked: "Uncle Lin, do you think there is a bigger spirit in this rock?"
Pool?"
Lin Wuhai walked to Lin Tianheng and stared at the stone wall for a while, then smiled knowingly and said: "No, you should practice as soon as possible!"
After that, he waved his hand and built a spiritual shield around the spiritual pool to block out the geothermal heat and help Lin Tianheng not be affected by the outside temperature.
After seeing this, Lin Tianheng felt warm in his heart, and then he was a little surprised and said: "Uncle Lin, why don't you practice together? The spiritual power here is so abundant, it must be helpful to you, right?"
"What Uncle Lin needs is not spiritual power, but an opportunity for breakthrough!" Lin Wuhai smiled slightly.
Seeing what Lin Wuhai said, Lin Tianheng didn't say anything else. He immediately walked towards the small spirit pool, took off his clothes and jumped in, pushing aside the colorful spirit who was still playing.
At the same time, he warned: "Cai Ling, I have to practice now. You go downstream to play and don't disturb me!"
Strangely enough, the temperature here has no effect on the Phantom. This must be the difference in realm!
After listening to Lin Tianheng's words, it jumped to the side, shook the spiritual liquid on its body, waved its paws at Lin Tianheng, and then walked to the lower reaches of the spiritual pool angrily, rolling there.
When Lin Tianheng saw this, he was angry and funny, then shook his head, calmed down and started practicing.
Two hours later, the spiritual power in Lin Tianheng's body was saturated, and he took this opportunity to make a breakthrough directly in the spiritual pool.
As his magic formula was running, a vortex was created in the spiritual pool, and a large amount of spiritual liquid poured into his body through his skin, and then was converted into spiritual power and sent to his Dantian.
At this time, the Chaos Bead, which had been silent for a long time in his sea of consciousness, also became active. A large part of the spiritual power that entered his body was taken away by the Chaos Bead. Its light flickered, as if breathing.
law.
After Lin Tianheng discovered it, he had no choice but to do anything about the robber, but fortunately there was enough spiritual liquid here, and the spiritual power absorbed by the Chaos Pearl this time was not like last time. It seemed that it also knew that Lin Tianheng planned to break through the cultivation level this time.
Lin Tianheng ignored the Chaos Bead and "watched" the transformation of the spiritual power in his body, from liquid to more viscous. Lin Tianheng couldn't help but be overjoyed and said in his heart: "This is the state of spiritual liquid required for forming pills. I didn't expect that it would just break through."
It will become like this in the later stages!”
As he observed, he was surprised to find that the spiritual liquid that had not had time to be refined in his Dantian was directly swallowed by a trace of Gengjin Essence contained in his Dantian, and was transformed into liquid spiritual power after being transformed inside it.
This discovery made him overjoyed. He never imagined that the sequelae of the injuries he had suffered would actually bring him such great gains.
At this moment, Lin Tianheng thought of what Zifeng had said to him, and then he suddenly realized it. He couldn't help but secretly thought: "Senior Zifeng said that the benefits brought by the Gengjin Essence are these! In the process of cultivation before, no spirit appeared.
A situation where the energy is too much and cannot be refined.
Nowadays, with the help of spiritual liquid cultivation, it is impossible to completely refine this huge spiritual energy just by relying on one's own refining speed. However, it takes almost no time to pass Gengjin Essence, and all comers are welcome, and all of them are completely refined!
"
After discovering this, Lin Tianheng came up with a bold idea: "If we don't consider the spiritual impact that the body can withstand, can we directly absorb the spiritual liquid into the Dantian, and then use the Gengjin Essence to refine the spiritual liquid?"
!”
After having this idea, Lin Tianheng gradually increased the speed of absorbing the spiritual liquid, and the amount also increased accordingly. The result of this was a sense of soreness in the physical body, just like the impact of continuous high-load exertion.
However, despite the physical body, the Gengjin Essence in the Dantian can work very well. Even if the speed of absorbing the spiritual fluid is nearly doubled, it can be completely refined, and this is without its own auxiliary refining.
.
After discovering that this method was effective, Lin Tianheng did not stop because of muscle soreness. Instead, he increased the speed of absorbing spiritual power. When he reached the limit speed, it was already more than three times faster than usual, and the soreness in his muscles was also more intense.
, so that sweat began to ooze from his head and body, and a whirlpool formed in the spiritual pool.
When Lin Wuhai saw Lin Tianheng practicing like this, he wanted to stop it, but when he found out that Lin Tianheng was fine, he was shocked and said in his heart: "Such a terrifying absorption speed has no impact on himself at all, and he can even temper his body with the help of spiritual liquid!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Wuhai showed a happy smile and a satisfied look.
In the evening, on the edge of the basin where the competition was held, Fatty's cultivation entered a critical moment. When he swallowed the second Spirit Gathering Pill, after refining it, his cultivation finally broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.
At this time, Zhao Qiang, who had just recovered from his injuries, also came here with Zhao Wenshang. Zhao Qiang suffered a serious injury due to the previous game, and this was all caused by him not using the power of his blood.
Putting aside everything else, the contestants in this competition are undoubtedly the elites in the foundation-building realm, so for people like them who are at the bottom of the pack, it is already good to win the game. It is normal to get injured.
After Fatty stabilized his cultivation, he woke up from practice. When he saw Zhao Qiang and others, he excitedly said: "Qiangzi, did you win the competition?"
"Well! Where's Brother Lin?" Zhao Qiang responded and asked at the same time.
"Yes! Where is Brother Lin?" After hearing this, the fat man found that Lin Tianheng was no longer here, and asked with the same confusion.
Immediately, both of them looked at Lingxin and Mu Sisi standing aside.
Previously, the two women had not left here after receiving a message from Lin Wuhai. They thought that while protecting the fat man, they could also wait for Lin Tianheng. However, they had to wait for only a day, and there has been no news yet.
Lingxin first raised her head and glanced at Fatty, then congratulated: "Congratulations, Fatty!"
Then he said with a sad face: "I don't know, Senior Lin took him away!"
At this time, another person came up from the basin. He happened to hear Lingxin's words, and then interrupted: "Since it was taken away by Senior Lin, there must be something good going on!"
Everyone looked around and saw Fan Mulong holding a piece of weed in his mouth, holding his right elbow with his left hand and his chin with his right hand, looking like he was deep in thought.
Seeing his vow, Mu Sisi quickly asked: "Then do you know where Brother Lin has gone?"
"How did I know..." Fan Mulong responded quickly after hearing this.
"I don't know, so you are still so sure?" Lingxin frowned, obviously a little angry.
Fan Mulong scratched his head in embarrassment, and then explained: "Last time, Senior Lin gave Brother Lin a treasure as soon as we met, so I think this time will be no exception!"
"What did you give?" Lingxin asked curiously.
"It's a piece of mulberry ghost wood. Although I don't know what he used it for, after brother Lin got the treasure, his whole body turned green and his strength increased greatly during one practice!" Fan Mulong responded while recalling it.
He said, because he had never thought that Lin Tianheng used the mulberry locust ghost tree for cultivation, so his explanation was very vague.
"So it's it... Brother Tianheng was coveting it in Ma Jincheng at that time," Lingxin said with relief after hearing this.
When she thought that Lin Tianheng might have some benefits, Lingxin's brows suddenly straightened out, her sadness disappeared, and she happily said to Mu Sisi: "Sister Mu, let's go play!"
After hearing this, Mu Sisi smiled slightly and said, "Okay!"
The two girls had just taken two steps when Lingxin turned around and said to the fat man: "Fat man, don't forget what brother Tianheng told you. Try your best to become familiar with how to use the fan tonight!"
"Hey, don't worry!" The fat man nodded in response, and the fat on his face trembled as he nodded, which was very cute.
After Lingxin and Lingxin left, Qiangzi looked at Fatty and asked worriedly: "Fatty, are you sure you can win the next game?"
"Brother Lin is so strong and I lost. To be honest, I have no confidence. No one can say whether the next opponent will be as strong as Brother Lin!" the fat man said dejectedly.
At this time, Fan Mulong on the side couldn't stand anymore and quickly interjected: "I have seen a lot of Brother Lin's methods. I have never seen anyone who wants to defeat him in the foundation building realm, including me in
I'm afraid he can't survive ten moves in the hands of Brother Lin. He lost the game because he was sympathetic to her!"
After hearing this, the fat man was speechless. Although he also knew that Lin Tianheng was strong and powerful, he was very opposed to the idea that he lost the game because he cared for her.
Immediately, he ignored Fan Mulong and asked Zhao Qiang: "Qiangzi, what about you? How sure are you?"
"I don't know. I was injured in the first game today. Tomorrow's opponent will be much stronger than today's. I have to try my best tomorrow!" Zhao Qiang responded with his fists clenched.
When the fat man saw this, he thought of something, and then he slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Lin gave me this, you can take advantage of tonight to break through in cultivation!"
With that said, he took out the Spirit Gathering Pill that Lin Tianheng gave him and handed it to Zhao Qiang.
The latter took the jade bottle, opened it and took a look, and said in surprise: "So many, are they all given by Brother Lin?"
"Yeah! Take it for practice quickly!", the fat man nodded.
At this time, Fan Mulong leaned over again and said, "Do you have a role for me? My relationship with Brother Lin is also not shallow!"
The two of them were speechless after hearing this, and then the fat man poured out two spirit-gathering pills and handed them to Fan Mulong and said, "If Brother Lin asks you to pay them back, you must pay them back!"
Fan Mulong saw this and happily accepted the elixir. At the same time, he also vowed: "Brother Lin is an alchemist. To him, this amount of elixir is nothing. He will definitely not be so stingy!"
Fatty and Zhao Qiang paid no attention to Fan Mulong. One of them got familiar with the new weapon and the other went to practice. Zhao Wenshang followed Zhao Qiang away, leaving Fan Mulong here, and then went to practice as well.
It was dawn, and within a dozen meters of where Zhao Qiang was sitting cross-legged, his spiritual power was rising. It had been going on for a while. Zhao Wenshang was watching the changes in Zhao Qiang's cultivation with all his concentration. He saw that his third brother was about to die.
Breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.
As time went by, and about half an hour passed, Zhao Qiang finally broke through his cultivation level in the last burst and successfully entered the middle stage of foundation building. He then spent another half hour stabilizing his cultivation level.
At this time, Fatty and Fan Mulong, who noticed the movement, also gathered around. After a night of practice, Fatty's use of the fan could not be said to be masterful, but it could be said that he was able to send and receive it freely.
Not long after, Zhao Qiang woke up from practice, saw several people around him, stood up, scratched the back of his head, and said with an honest smile: "Hey, did I wake you up?"
"No, I just noticed something moving here, so I came over to take a look. Congratulations, Qiangzi!", the fat man said first.
Later, Fan Mulong also smiled and said: "Congratulations!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and patted Zhao Qiang on the shoulder. The two of them were in perfect stature. This action was done by Fan Mulong, and there was no sense of disobedience.
Zhao Wenshang smiled and said: "Third brother, now you are sure to win the game, right?"
After hearing this, Zhao Qiang smiled naively and said: "It has improved my confidence a little bit, but I can't guarantee it!"
At this time, the fat man interjected: "I'm not sure, and I don't know how Brother Lin is doing. He hasn't come back yet!"
At this moment, Lin Tianheng was immersed in the pleasure of cultivation. As for why it was said to be pleasure, we have to start talking about it from yesterday.
At that time, when he discovered that the Gengjin Essence in his body could help him practice, he no longer cared about whether his body could bear it. The result of this was that after a few hours, he could no longer feel any sensation brought by his physical body.
But he didn't stop because he had already entered a state of selflessness. (To be continued)
