Regardless of everyone's attempts to stay, Nie Tian resolutely chose to leave the team.
The reason he gave was that the desert was more suitable for his practice.
Jiang Lingzhu, Pan Tao and others actually do not agree with this reason.
Only Qi practitioners who practice flame as their attribute can improve their realm quickly in the desert environment.
But Nie Tian had never shown any talent for practicing fire, and they didn't think that Nie Tian was the kind of Qi practitioner who had the talent for practicing fire.
Even if Nie Tian's cultivation attribute is really flame, the volcanic area where Zheng Bin and others in Xuanwu Palace are located is a more suitable place for his cultivation.
Therefore, everyone understood that Nie Tian was just looking for an excuse to leave.
They really couldn't figure out why Nie Tian had to leave the team in the face of the threats from the Blood Sect and Ghost Sect.
Nie Tian gave no reasonable explanation and left alone, carrying hundreds of kilograms of dried ground lizard meat.
After being separated from the large army, Nie Tian walked alone for most of the day. He chose a secluded place with sand dunes and began to continuously eat the meat of the earth lizard for training.
He no longer wanted to waste time, and he didn't want to wait for the energy contained in the dried meat to be exhausted before he could devour it.
He risked his life and stayed away from everyone just to use the meat of the Earth-walking Lizard to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.
He didn't dare waste a moment.
In the next two days, what he did every day was to eat like crazy and practice like crazy!
In just two days, his spiritual sea expanded by about 30%!
He didn't rush, didn't do anything, and spent all his time practicing, which made his cultivation speed much faster than expected.
Not only has his Qi refining realm been greatly improved, but with the tempering of his flesh and blood, the coverage area of his mental power has also reached ninety meters!
He enjoyed it very much. He was making progress every day and could clearly feel himself getting stronger little by little. He devoted himself wholeheartedly.
…
desert.
Yu Tong of the Blood Sect held a dark red compass in his hand, bit his fingertips, and dropped a drop of bright red blood on the compass.
As soon as the drop of blood from Yu Tong fell on the compass, it immediately turned into tiny blood filaments, swimming towards various positions on the compass as if it had a sense of life.
The bloody light was released from the compass, making the compass reveal some kind of mystery.
Soon after, those tiny hairsprings gradually penetrated into the compass and disappeared one by one.
"Now!" Yu Tong called softly.
A little bit of blood light suddenly flashed out from the compass. The small blood light flickered and seemed to be moving slowly.
Next to them, Mo Xi and others from the Ghost Sect subconsciously came closer when those bloody spots of light appeared.
"As expected of the Blood Sect's blood-detecting compass, it is indeed magical and unpredictable." Mo Xi praised it sincerely.
He knew that the blood-colored light spots appearing on the compass were fluctuations of blood, representing lives of flesh and blood.
Numerous blood-colored light spots gathered together and moved continuously, which meant that many people were moving around.
"Nineteen blood-colored light spots represent nineteen people. If there are no accidents, those guys should be the trialists of Lingbao Pavilion and Lingyun Sect." Du Kun said while looking at the compass intently.
"Huh!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at another small blood-colored light spot on the surface of the compass, wondering: "How can there be another person here?"
Mo Xi took a closer look and found that the light spot was far away from the other nineteen light spots. It was clearly not in the same place.
The other light spots, gathered together, are always moving.
There was only that spot of light, motionless, just staying in place.
"I think this person... should have been kicked out of the army." Du Kun from the Ghost Sect chuckled, "I'm afraid he is very annoying. Those guys knew that we would definitely pursue them, but they actually kicked him out After joining the team, we made it clear that he was left to fend for himself. Only a guy who offends everyone will be unbearably separated from the team. This is really a pitiable creature."
At this time, Yu Tong of the Blood Sect suddenly put away the blood-detecting compass.
She pointed in a direction, "Over there, thirty miles away, there is only one person."
"Our main target is the large forces of Lingyun Sect and Lingbao Pavilion. It's just one person who is not worthy of us changing the direction for him." Mo Xi frowned and said to Du Kun: "The guy who was kicked out of the team is definitely not worth it." It can't be Jiang Lingzhu and An Ying. You can easily kill anyone except those two."
Du Kun understood and said, "I'll kill him."
"Well, deal with him and join us as soon as possible. Don't take too long." Mo Xi said.
"Understood."
Du Kun of the Ghost Sect, under the guidance of Yu Tong, also left the army alone.
"Everyone, hurry up. We must intercept them before they enter the volcanic area and let them all die in the desert." Mo Xi shouted.
"Let's go!"
…
In the middle of the dunes, Nie Tian sat cross-legged and quietly, with the five fingers of his right hand spread out.
"Chichi!"
Wisps of spiritual light flew out from his fingertips.
Those auras, following the changes in his mind, circled between his fingers, passing through like slender electric snakes.
"The seventh level of spiritual power leaves the body." Nie Tian whispered to himself.
At this time, he had just swallowed a large amount of dried meat, and his abdomen was digesting the spirit beast meat, and he had not yet had the strength to dissipate it.
Before starting to operate the Qi Refining Technique, he tried to use the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm to separate the spiritual power from the body.
To his surprise, it went smoothly. When his spiritual power rushed toward his fingers along his meridians, the wisps of spiritual power escaped from his fingers without encountering any obstacles.
The aura of condensed spiritual power bloomed from his fingertips. When it completely left his fingers, he made another astonishing discovery.
Even if the light of spiritual power from him leaves his body, he can still sense it and control it through his spiritual consciousness!
Watching the wisps of spiritual light moving according to his heart, Nie Tian's face was filled with joy.
He had a vague feeling that the stronger his mental power was, the sharper his perception of spiritual power would be, and the more precise his control would be.
And he was naturally strong in terms of mental power. After this period of physical strengthening, his mental power was improving day by day.
Now, the coverage of his spiritual consciousness can spread to 100 meters!
This means that his mental power is always growing rapidly, far exceeding that of Qi Refiners of the same level.
The full and powerful spiritual power helps to control the spiritual power. When the wisps of spiritual power leave the body, his powerful mental power allows him to transform the separated spiritual power extremely delicately and use it as he wishes.
"Wonderful!" he smiled excitedly.
At this time, the flesh of the spiritual beasts that he had swallowed before had gradually generated energy after digestion in his intestines and stomach.
Nie Tian immediately calmed down, no longer wasting time, and prepared to practice Qi Refining Technique immediately.
If hundreds of kilograms of earth-walking lizard meat could be swallowed up by him before there was huge loss and all used for cultivation, he believed that he could break through to the eighth level of Qi refining realm in a short time through the spirit beast meat. .
"rustle!"
The sound of obvious footsteps sounded suddenly and became louder and louder.
Nie Tian, who was about to practice, suddenly changed his expression. Without thinking too much, he immediately released his spiritual consciousness again to sense the abnormalities around him.
He knew that the people from Lingyun Sect and Lingbao Pavilion were rushing to the volcanic area with all their strength at the moment, and it was impossible for them to come over.
Those coming must be disciples of the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect, or they may be spiritual beasts from the desert.
He released his mental power because he wanted to determine the number of people on the other side and decide whether to escape immediately.
"only one!"
After a moment, he regained his mental strength and stood up unhurriedly.
"rustle!"
The sound of footsteps was deliberately aggravated. The person seemed not worried that he could escape and was deliberately trying to intimidate him.
Nie Tian's face was calm. After confirming that there was only one person around him, not only was he no longer nervous, but he was also slightly excited.
"It's you?"
Soon, Du Kun from the Ghost Sect appeared on a sand dune.
"You didn't escape?" he said with some disappointment.
"It turns out it's you." As soon as he appeared, Nie Tian recognized him immediately, grinned and said, "You are the only one, why should I run away? Where are the others nearby?"
"Others? Hehe, who do you think you are? A small character who was kicked out of the team, is it worth all of us changing the direction for you?" Du Kun mocked.
"Very good. Now that you're here, let's stay!" Nie Tian took the lead.
