In the past few years, it can be said that Wu Qingce has been going through life and death, and he will infiltrate wherever there is danger.
For example, this time to quell the remnants of Liangzhou, he was always on the front line. As long as the opponent's cultivation level was lower than Xuanhuang's, there was nothing he would not dare to fight.
Over the past few years, his actual combat experience has become more and more abundant, and at the same time, his opponents have become fewer and fewer.
Mu Jiuri was the only one at the same level who could barely fight with him. Most of the time he had to find King Xuan as his opponent if he wanted to have a good fight.
So when he heard that Qu Yangze easily caught Gu Qinghuan's full blow, as a fighting nation... Oh no, as a fighting maniac, his blood boiled instantly.
But he was also very aware of Gu Qinghuan's strength. If he hit with all his strength, it would not be easy for him to catch it.
So since Qu Yangze can say the word "easily", it means that he indeed has strength that far exceeds that of Gu Qinghuan.
Under such circumstances, Wu Qingce could imagine that Qu Yangze's strength was probably already superior to his own.
And this made his blood boil even more. He really wanted to experience for himself what kind of power was contained in Qu Yangze's increasingly unhuman body.
"Junior Brother Qu, have you tried fighting with all your strength now?"
Qu Yangze shook his head and replied: "Not yet, but Master said he would help me find someone to fight with me."
'Then it seems that the person that senior brother is talking about is not me...'
Thinking of this, Wu Qingce was slightly disappointed, but he was also convinced that his senior brother thought Qu Yangze was more powerful than him now.
As for his senior brother's judgment, he naturally had no doubt at all.
But he was still very curious about how strong Qu Yangze was, so he rolled his eyes and thought of a way to compete without hurting the opponent.
"Junior Brother Qu, to be honest, I'm also very curious about how strong you are now. How about we break your wrists and test your strength?"
"This..." Qu Yangze looked at his right hand.
To be honest, Qu Yangze was a little unsure.
Although he initially adapted to this new body, he didn't know how strong he was until he tried it against others.
Because the master told him that he was cultivating the Gu Dao and could not clearly understand which realm he was in like other cultivators.
Secondly, he didn't know how strong Senior Brother Wu was. If he hurt Senior Brother Wu's face again like he hurt Senior Brother Gu last time, then he would be really ashamed.
Seeing Qu Yangze's hesitation, Wu Qingce smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already heard about your skills from my senior brother. I didn't want to beat you, I just wanted to try."
After hearing what Senior Brother Wu said, Qu Yangze felt that if he didn't accept it, he would look down on Senior Brother too much.
So he clenched his fist, tried to adjust his strength, and then he cupped his hand toward Senior Brother Wu and said, "Then please show mercy, Senior Brother."
"Okay, if you still treat these vain people under senior brother's sect, you must never do this in front of senior brother in the future. Senior brother likes us to tell the truth."
"Yes, thank you senior brother for your teaching." Qu Yangze immediately said with his hands in hand.
"Okay, let's go to the practice room to compare. The things there are stronger."
"yes."
Bringing Qu Yangze to the practice room, Wu Qingce sat in front of a table made of Nine Yang Stone and made an invitation gesture: "This is indeed my willful request. Thank you, Junior Brother Qu."
Qu Yangze, who had just sat down, quickly raised his hands and said, "Senior Brother Wu, you are serious."
Wu Qingce smiled slightly, put his right hand on the stone table and said, "Come on."
"yes."
Stretching out his right hand to hold it with Senior Brother Wu, Qu Yangze took a deep breath and felt that this competition was too difficult...
Wu Qingce also understood Qu Yangze's difficulty, so he smiled and said: "I'll use my strength, but don't let it go. Use as much strength as you have."
Qu Yangze immediately felt much more relaxed after hearing this. At least he no longer had to worry about being unable to hold back his strength.
So he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I will try my best."
"Then, let's begin..."
After Wu Qingce finished speaking, the green thunder spirit burst out suddenly and quickly wrapped around his right hand.
This is a concentrated force method that he has learned through many years of actual combat, which is to concentrate the profound energy on a certain part. In this way, although the defensive capabilities of other parts will be weakened, the power of the moves can be maximized.
Works wonders in certain situations.
When the thunder spirit energy was completely concentrated in his right hand, Wu Qingce exerted force suddenly, and for a moment, the whole training room was filled with lightning and thunder.
Then after the violent rage, Wu Qingce's eyes were filled with shock.
'I can't push it, I can't push it at all...'
He had used all his strength to win the battle just now, leaving no chance at all. However, in this case, he was unable to move Qu Yangze even a bit.
The last time he caught Senior Brother Gu's full blow, he discovered that his body had a self-protection mechanism, which meant that even if he didn't want to, the protection mechanism would automatically turn on.
When facing a blunt weapon attack like Senior Brother Gu, his body hair will automatically turn into a layer of extremely tough protective layer, removing all the power.
And when Senior Brother Wu exerted force just now, his muscles triggered the protective mechanism, and layers of buffer zones were automatically formed at the joints, almost completely removing all of Senior Brother Wu's strength.
It can be said that even if he wanted to let go, he couldn't.
But he didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only sit there in silence, saying nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Qingce silently let go of his hand. He was already very aware of the power gap between the two sides. If the comparison continued, it would not only embarrass Junior Brother Qu, but also embarrass himself.
So this is enough.
Standing up, Wu Qingce patted Qu Yangze's shoulder and said: "Junior Brother Qu, with your current physical strength, I'm afraid you can already fight against a strong person in the Xuanhuang Realm. It's gratifying."
Wu Qingce did not say these words casually.
After he reached the peak of the Xuanling realm, he often fought against cultivators at the peak of the Xuanwang realm.
Although he will be defeated most of the time, the battle is by no means a one-sided crushing. Every attack he makes can cause damage to the peak Xuan King.
Even if it was a pure strength competition, he could persist for a while, unlike just now, he had already lost before it even started.
There is only one possibility for such a situation to occur, and that is that the strength of Qu Yangze's new body has exceeded the Xuanhuang realm, or even higher...
the reason is simple.
In the system of cultivators, every three realms passed is a leap.
That is, Xuanzhe, Xuanshi, and Great Xuanshi are on the first level, Xuanling, Xuanwang, and Xuanhuang are on the first level, and Xuanzong, Xuanzun, and Xuansheng are on the first level.
As long as they are at the same level and have enough heaven-defying skills and magic weapons, the Mysterious Master can definitely defeat the Great Mystic Master, and the Mysterious Spirit can also defeat the Xuan Emperor.
But if you hit someone from above the level, you will basically be hung up and whipped.
That is to say, Xuan Ling, no matter how defying the heavens, is still an ant in front of Xuanzong. Even though this Xuan Ling possesses a heaven-level magic weapon, based on Xuan Ling's cultivation, it is estimated that it cannot even exert one thousandth of the power of a heaven-level magic weapon, so in the end
He will still be beaten by Xuanzong.
Just because he couldn't shake Qu Yangze with all his strength just now, Wu Qingce had reason to suspect that Qu Yangze's strength had reached the Xuanzong level.
Otherwise, even if the opponent was Emperor Xuan, Wu Qingce would not think that he would be so powerless.
This is completely crushing.
Hearing Senior Brother Wu's congratulations, Qu Yangze stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, I just..."
"Needless to say, it's all my request. It's the only thing that makes things difficult for junior brother." After saying that, Wu Qingce opened the door to the practice room and said: "Let's go, let's divide the work. Don't let senior brother see this place in a mess when he comes out of retreat.
Already."
"Yes!" After hearing this, Qu Yangze immediately followed Wu Qingce.
…
In the alchemy room, Jiang Beiran was modifying the Golden Crow Cauldron based on his last idea.
'Well...if the spirit gathering array is engraved here, it will definitely complement the spirit guiding array.'
Putting the Golden Crow Cauldron gently on the ground, Jiang Beiran sat at the table and continued to design his formation diagram.
It was his first time to use the formation method to improve a top magic weapon like the Golden Crow Cauldron, so he had to be careful and cautious. For this reason, he planned to take a few high-grade medicine cauldrons to make a draft first, and then make improvements after confirming that there was no problem.
Golden Crow Cauldron.
This workload was undoubtedly huge, so it took Jiang Beiran seven full days to finally carve the spirit gathering array and the spirit guiding array on the Golden Crow Cauldron.
In this way, the Golden Crow Cauldron can not only attract higher-level spiritual energy, but also increase the energy supply speed by a higher level. At the same time, it can store more spiritual energy in the cauldron, allowing him to more easily transform the material medicine into spiritual energy.
After successfully strengthening the Golden Crow Cauldron with the formation method, Jiang Beiran's next step is to install a spiritual energy interface on the Golden Crow Cauldron.
Although the function of this spiritual energy interface is very simple, it is just used to install spiritual stones, and then let the spiritual stones provide spiritual energy to the alchemy furnace. But it is quite troublesome to actually do it.
Because it plays a buffering role, because the spiritual stone will "appear" when the spiritual energy in the cauldron is insufficient.
But if too much is absorbed at once, it will cause a furnace explosion. This type of explosion cannot be avoided even by Star Anise Ice Grass, because this is caused by forcing it in even when it is clear that it cannot be pushed down.
The consequences will naturally be serious.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran planned to try out a few more furnace cauldrons this time, and then he would modify the Golden Crow Cauldron once he was sure it was foolproof.
In this way, another two days passed quickly.
When Jiang Beiran was destroying the third medicinal cauldron, a paper kite suddenly flew in front of him.
Reaching out to take it and open it, Jiang Beiran discovered that it was from Lu Qinghuan.
In fact, he received letters from Gu Qinghuan and Huo Hongfei three days ago, both of which stated that they had arrived at their respective destinations and were ready to investigate.
'Is there progress so quickly?'
Feeling very surprised, Jiang Beiran quickly read the letter and realized that Gu Qinghuan's letter was not to report progress, but to "ask for help".
In the letter, Gu Qinghuan made it clear that he wanted Luo Wenzhou's help. Of course, if Luo Wenzhou could not go there, he could find another way. But there is no doubt that if Gu Qinghuan had a better way, he would never write this letter for help.
So after Jiang Beiran finished reading, he took out a piece of talisman paper from the Qiankun Ring and started writing a letter.
After finishing writing, Jiang Beiran folded the talisman paper into a paper kite and sent it out.
About an hour later, a paper kite slowly flew to Jiang Beiran's side.
Opening the kite, it was Luo Wenzhou’s letter.
In the letter Jiang Beiran wrote to him just now, he first asked about his situation and told him that Gu Qinghuan needed his help.
Luo Wenzhou's reply was also very simple and straightforward. He first expressed his gratitude to Senior Brother for his concern, and then said that he was traveling in Zhang Country, not far from Tan Country, and that he would set off to meet Senior Brother Gu now.
After putting down the letter, knowing that Luo Wenzhou was already on his way to meet up with Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran was not prepared to write another letter to Gu Qinghuan. After all, the two of them must have contacted each other.
After solving this little episode, Jiang Beiran took another medicine cauldron and started studying his spiritual energy interface.
Three days later...
"Finally, I got two of them in one go. After consolidating them, I should be able to transform the Golden Crow Cauldron."
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to his target, Jiang Beiran breathed out a sigh of relief and prepared to have barbecue for lunch and then cook it in the afternoon.
And just when he asked Xia Lingdang to prepare the ingredients, a paper kite suddenly stopped in front of him."
When he opened it, Jiang Beiran found that it was from Mo Xia.
There wasn't much in the letter, but it made Jiang Beiran feel a little shocked.
Tian Ge turned into a fierce ghost as Jiang Beiran expected, and seemed to be lurking all the time. Mo Xia felt a little dizzy last night when he was practicing the evil spirit, as if he had entered a dark place.
Just when Mo Xia was about to walk out, Tian Ge took this opportunity to snatch his body.
Fortunately, the senior crane robe took action and saved him.
It can be said that the whole letter contained not much content, but it contained a huge amount of information. After receiving the letter, Jiang Beiran decided to go and see it in person and ask what happened.
When Jiang Beiran opened the door and walked out, he found Qu Yangze sitting cross-legged in the yard practicing.
Seeing how seriously he was cultivating, Jiang Beiran didn't call him, and directly took Xia Lingdang away from the self-enchantment and flew toward the swamp.
Arriving in front of the hut, Jiang Beiran pushed the door open and immediately saw Mo Xia, who looked very pale.
Seeing his senior brother coming, Mo Xia quickly saluted and said: "Greetings to my senior brother."
"Don't move." Jiang Beiran stepped forward and used his mental power to detect him, and found that he was fine except for being a little weak, so he felt relieved.
"Tell me carefully what happened last night."
"Yes." Mo Xia nodded and described what happened yesterday to his senior brother in more detail.
The specific process is similar to what is written in the letter, but there are a few more details.
For example, when he was practicing the evil spirit yesterday, in addition to seeing the gray illusion, the profound energy in his body was almost completely chaotic, and his body became extremely uncomfortable.
Jiang Beiran thought he was probably possessed.
Of course, he knew nothing about cultivating evil spirits, so he had to ask experts in this field what exactly was going on.
