When Han Jiulin saw that she suddenly felt so happy, he couldn't help but said: "You can't be so happy."
"Hmph! Don't be proud. Although you saved me once, I, Huangfu Zhirou, must repay your kindness. I will repay this kindness to you sooner or later!"
Huangfu Zhirou raised her head suddenly, which made Han Jiulin realize what he was thinking, and deliberately pretended to be extremely proud and unwilling to be outdone.
Before she finished speaking, she continued to climb towards the top of the mountain with broken steps.
Han Jiulin nodded with a wry smile and asked behind him: "Actually, I have always had a doubt in my heart that I wanted to ask you."
"Say it."
Huangfu Zhirou's mood was still not completely calm at this moment, so she responded without looking back.
"Given the power and status of the Giant Spirit King's Palace, it shouldn't be particularly difficult for you to enter Guangming Academy to practice. But why would you put yourself in danger and come to participate in such a test of a near-death life?"
"Because I want to use my own ability to tell people all over the world that even without the power of the Giant Spirit Palace, I, Huangfu Zhirou, can still enter Guangming Academy on my own! If I didn't get admitted on my own, I would rather not enter Guangming Academy
go!"
At the end of her words, Huangfu Zhirou turned her head and glanced at Han Jiulin, her expression full of confidence.
"You are really proud."
Han Jiulin looked at Huangfu Zhirou with a smile, his expression full of appreciation.
At this moment, Baili Xinghuo suddenly ran back from the front in a hurry, and said nervously: "You two, please stop chatting! I found the traces left by the cultivator in front, it is very likely that we are not the first
Wave arrived here!"
Under the guidance of Baili Xinghuo, Han Jiulin and Huangfu Zhirou arrived at a forest on the mountainside. They saw that many of the trees here had been chopped off by horizontal rails, and the cuts were neat. They were obviously cut by cultivators.
Powerful spiritual energy causes instantaneous destruction.
Han Jiulin observed carefully and said: "The trees here are as hard as iron, and these trees are also quite huge. Even with my current cultivation level, I may not be able to knock down a big tree in one blow."
Cut off the bars."
"With such terrifying strength, the person who comes here must have at least a fourth-level magical power, or even more powerful!"
Huangfu Zhirou looked at the top of the mountain, showing deep concern. Even though she had always been proud, she couldn't help but feel uncertain when faced with the situation in front of her.
"The cuts on these trees are very new. I estimate that they were cut no more than three days ago."
Han Jiulin then analyzed.
"Three days?
Before the test started, the strong men from Guangming Academy had already driven away all the cultivators in the fire rock forest. In other words, the guys who arrived on the mountain before us must be the young cultivators who participated in this trial.
!”
While Baili Xinghuo was speaking, he looked at the swaying tree trunks and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
After discovering the traces in the woods, Han Jiulin and the others immediately returned to being as cautious as they were in the cave at that time, constantly observing the surroundings while moving, for fear of being accidentally attacked.
In fact, after seeing that scene, not only Huangfu Zhirou and Baili Xinghuo felt uncertain, but even Han Jiulin, who had always had excellent psychological quality, could not help but feel an invisible pressure.
I thought that after I broke through to the third level of magical power, I was no longer unrivaled among the younger generation, but I never thought that there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people beyond the mountains. The real number one master among my peers is undoubtedly on this mountain.
top!
night.
Ever since the full moon rose, the original tranquility and peace on this mountain had instantly dissipated. Not only were there the roars of ferocious beasts one after another, but even the inexplicable roar of dragons that had been heard in the past reappeared.
Amidst the clouds and mist, no one can tell how many fatal dangers this mountain contains.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them stopped marching and found a cave and entered one after another, intending to rest here for the night.
Under pressure, after Han Jiulin pondered for a while, he saw that Huangfu Zhirou and Baili Xinghuo were both asleep, so he took out a jar of ice soul purification bottle from the Qiankun gourd. The thing contained in this bottle was what Han Jiulin had obtained from the palm of the corpse yesterday.
The spirit blood of the King of Feng was stripped out of the blood!
Once one reaches the realm of the King, the whole body of the cultivator must be sublimated and purified, so every drop of the King's spiritual blood contains a huge amount of the King's spiritual energy.
Han Jiulin poured out a drop of the King's spiritual blood from the ice soul purification bottle, and then the world-destroying magic knife in his dantian sensed it and immediately emitted a black suction force, absorbing all the King's spiritual energy in that drop of King's spiritual blood.
Absorbed completely.
But while he was enjoying the world-destroying magic sword and devouring it, Han Jiulin only felt severe pain in his Dantian, as if it was being burned by fire, and a large amount of spiritual energy was pouring into his meridians.
Fortunately, Han Jiulin practiced the "Nine Revolutions of Hegemonic Body Technique", and relied on his powerful body far beyond that of ordinary practitioners to prevent his meridians from being severed by this huge spiritual energy.
While the World-Destroying Demon Sword was being absorbed, Han Jiulin's practice was also improving rapidly. He even felt that he had vaguely touched the threshold of the fourth-level magical power realm.
After absorbing all the spiritual energy from King Feng's spiritual blood, Han Jiulin took out the bone jade he obtained from the severed hand from the gourd of heaven and earth.
Although this bone jade is radiant, exudes a hint of coldness, and has a seemingly extraordinary texture, other than that, it seems to have no mystery at all, as if it is just a decoration of little use.
But the thing in the hand of a strong man in the King's Realm when he is about to die can never be so ordinary!
Han Jiulin studied it for a long time yesterday and tried various methods, but none of them could cause any abnormality in this bone jade.
It seems that everything is just Han Jiulin overthinking.
However, if this thing is indeed ordinary, with Han Jiulin's current cultivation level, why can't he even make a crack in it?
Han Jiulin thought about it again and again, and was sure that this bone jade must be anything but simple. However, he did not find the key to the mysterious door contained in this bone jade for a while.
It was freezing cold in the middle of the night. When Han Jiulin saw Huangfu Zhirou huddled up beside her, seemingly feeling cold, he took out a blanket from the storage ring and covered her body.
At this time, a slim figure suddenly entered from outside the cave. His skin was like gelatin, his lips were pink, and his eyes were like autumn water. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, which made his figure even more graceful. Not only was he unparalleled in the world, he was also.
Overwhelming the country and the city.
She just stood there, making people feel like they couldn't turn their eyes away at all. She just exuded an aloof and noble aura that would repel people from thousands of miles away, even worse than Huangfu Zhirou.
Under the moonlight, Princess Nalan appeared like an immortal descended into the world.
Han Jiulin frowned slightly. He was not in the mood to admire any peerless appearance at the moment. Han Jiulin knew very well that no one who could pass through the poisonous gas forest and the underground cave was mediocre. But at this moment, he didn't know whether the person coming was the enemy.
friend.
While maintaining vigilance, Han Jiulin asked: "I wonder who the girl is and why she is here?"
"I am the seventh princess of the Canglan Empire—Huangfu Nalan!"
Princess Nalan's voice was filled with coldness, and dust suddenly flew up from the ground. Her voice shook, and the stone wall of the cave nearby cracked.
