"Bang!"
In a shop, Luo Qingzhou killed another demon who was killing people.
The air current appeared again.
After entering his body, it immediately transformed into a wisp of pure energy.
Then, it fell into his Danhai.
Could it be because of that mysterious little tree
He guessed secretly in his mind and continued to search carefully in the city.
After killing more than a dozen demons, he suddenly felt his body full of vitality and his whole body was hot and unbearable.
He immediately found an empty house and sat down to practice.
The pure vital energy absorbed into the body was quickly refined.
Then it flowed along his meridians to all the acupuncture points and internal organs throughout his body, and began to temper his body...
An hour later.
He opened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, took out the body identification stone, and checked his data.
Grandmaster's early stage, progress 11
The initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, process 11
Rapid progress indeed!
In less than a day, and without any active practice at all, except for killing dozens of demons, his progress towards Grandmaster suddenly increased from level nine to level eleven!
You know, he had practiced very hard for several days, and with the help of spiritual liquid, he could only make a little progress.
The vitality these demons gave him was so powerful!
He clenched his fists and felt the surging power in his body.
Then he stood up and walked out of the house. He raised his head and looked at the huge crown of the magic tree in the sky. His heart suddenly became excited.
If he could continue to transform the demonic energy into pure vital energy for his own cultivation, then this gloomy area shrouded by the demonic tree would be his holy land for cultivation!
Why would he worry about not being able to advance by practicing here
Thinking of this, he did not waste any more time and immediately left the house to continue looking for the roots of the magic trees and the demons controlled by the roots.
Night falls quickly.
He walked around the entire city again, but only found two demons.
Other practitioners were also searching everywhere.
The troops in the city were also searching house to house.
The entire city had been searched several times and was completely clean.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the street, feeling a little disappointed.
Without that demonic energy, he wouldn't be able to practice quickly.
He thought for a moment and suddenly looked outside the city.
Then, he quickly climbed up to an attic, stood on the roof, and looked outside the city.
The open space outside the city was filled with pitch-black tree roots.
Further away, there were demons like zombies, walking around aimlessly in groups of two or three.
On the other side of the open space, Dayan’s army was killing the demons and the roots of the demon trees on the ground.
In the distance, Liucheng was shrouded in black fog, and it was obvious that it had been occupied by the demon clan.
Groups of demons were swaying in the black fog, but they did not come out.
The demon clan seemed to be able to control them, but for some reason, they did not drive them to attack Linqiu City.
At this moment, Luo Qingzhou was actually thinking selfishly, hoping that those demons could come here.
In this way, he can kill enemies and practice happily.
He looked out for a while, his eyes fixed on the black light shield covering the outside of the city wall.
The light shield seemed to echo the huge black tree canopy high in the sky and looked difficult to destroy.
While he was thinking secretly in his heart, the communication token on his body suddenly vibrated.
Message from Master: Where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet
Luo Qingzhou put away the message, flew down from the attic, and returned to the dilapidated mansion.
Fairy Zixia and a few others were talking about something in the hall with worried expressions.
"After being controlled by the tree roots, those people will go crazy and bite others, and then others will also go crazy..."
"If we don't find those people in the city and kill them all, I'm afraid that by then the entire Linqiu City will become a dead city..."
"I don't know what kind of magic the demons used to be so powerful... I heard that the three major immortal sects and thousands of practitioners were trapped in Mo City and couldn't get out..."
"Dean Bai seemed to say that those people were controlled by evil spirits..."
After Luo Qingzhou walked into the hall, Fairy Zixia looked at him with concern and said, "Feiyang, Dean Bai just said that you should not run around, especially after dark. We should not go out these few days. The army in the city will search every house for suspicious persons again."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Did Dean Bai tell us what we should do? Should we continue to defend here or retreat?"
Luo Shang said: "They probably won't retreat. This is the last pass leading to the inland. If they retreat, the demon army will be able to march straight in, and then the people in the inland won't be able to escape."
Fairy Zixia sighed and said, "I guess we will die together with Linqiu City. But fortunately, the demons did not attack us immediately. Lord Yueying is mobilizing other reinforcements."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at them and asked, "How many demons have you killed today?"
"What demons? Those who are controlled by demonic energy?"
Fairy Zixia was stunned for a moment and said, "I think I killed eight in total, but I killed the most tree roots."
Luo Shang said, "I probably killed a dozen of them. Feiyang, why are you asking this?"
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "It's okay, I just asked casually to see how many people in the city are controlled."
Luo Shang thought for a moment and said, "It is estimated that there are at least several hundred of them. Fortunately, Dean Bai discovered it early and directly used his great magical power to suppress the demon tree roots underground."
At this time, Fairy Zixia suddenly said, "Why haven't you delivered dinner yet? I'm so hungry."
Luo Qingzhou looked outside the gate and said, "I guess they won't send it. The city is under siege now, food is scarce, and there are dangers everywhere outside. The servants probably don't dare to come out. I guess we can only rely on ourselves for food in the future."
After hearing these words, everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Fairy Zixia touched her storage ring and said, "Fortunately, I brought some food with me, but it probably won't last for a few days."
Everyone fell silent.
"I'm going back to practice."
Luo Qingzhou did not waste time here. He said something to a few people and left alone.
Return to the courtyard.
He closed the door, entered the room, took out the spiritual liquid, dripped two drops, and continued to practice.
Others can waste time, but he can't.
He now has a heavier burden on his shoulders and must seize every moment to make himself stronger.
The spiritual liquid entered his body and quickly turned into a stream of burning energy, flowing into his Danhai.
Then, it is refined in the Danhai, and flows through the meridians to various acupoints and internal organs throughout the body.
The body is still being tempered repeatedly.
The night soon deepened.
Early morning hours.
He opened his eyes, looked out the window, then took out the message token and sent a message to Sister Yue: Sister Yue, come here, I have something to ask you.
If what he guessed today was true, then he decided to take the risk and go out of the city to kill demons and practice!
This opportunity is rare and must not be missed.
Even though there are risks, the huge rewards are worth it.
Moreover, he just needed external training.
After waiting for a while, Sister Yue did not reply.
He had no choice but to send another message: It's about the little tree and the evil spirit. I discovered something very magical today and need Sister Yue's help to solve it. I swear, I will never touch Sister Yue tonight.
The message finally came back: What if you touched it
Luo Qingzhou certainly didn't dare to say anything more about thunder and fire. After thinking for a while, he could only say: If I do, Sister Yue can punish me as she pleases, and I will have no complaints.
Suddenly, he added: If I touch it, I will be besieged by those demons and become a demon too!
The other party did not reply.
Another moment passed.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly raised his head and looked out the window.
Under the big tree in the courtyard, a snow-white figure was standing there silently, and a pair of cold eyes were looking at him through the window.
Luo Qingzhou immediately rushed out of the window, handed her the storage ring, and said, "Sister Yue, take a look at the small tree first. The whole body of the small tree suddenly flashed with golden light, and the flower also formed a small golden fruit..."
Yue Yao's eyes moved slightly, he took the storage ring, and his spiritual sense fell into it.
Luo Qingzhou stood quietly in front of her, not daring to disturb her.
After a moment.
She raised her head, still with a cold expression, and looked at him and asked, "Anything else?"
Luo Qingzhou approached her, his expression solemn, and whispered: "When I was killing those demons outside today, I suddenly found that after the demons died, the demonic energy on their bodies would suddenly enter my body..."
Having said this, Yue Yao's eyes suddenly fixed.
Luo Qingzhou continued, "The miraculous thing is that after those evil spirits entered my body, they did not cause any harm to me. Instead, they immediately turned into wisps of pure vital energy and sank into my Danhai... I can actually use them to practice!"
Yue Yao was slightly startled: "Really?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Of course it's true, absolutely true! I killed more than 20 demons today, and destroyed many roots of demon trees, and then a lot of vitality accumulated in my body. I found a place, and after refining and practicing for an hour, the body-judgment stone showed that the progress of the Grand Master was directly increased by two points. Even if I practiced for several days in a row before, there was no such effect..."
Yue Yao listened quietly, staring at him blankly.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Yue, do you know what happened? Is it because of the small tree in the storage ring?"
Yue Yao was silent for a moment and said, "It should be. As for the specific reason, I don't know."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Then whoever gets this small tree in the storage ring can practice like me?"
Yue Yao shook her head slightly, looked at him quietly and said, "Only you can do this."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Didn't Sister Yue say that you don't know what's going on?"
Yue Yao lowered her head slightly, looked at the storage ring in her hand, and said, "This small tree has your breath and even your blood essence. It has become a spiritual object that belongs to you alone."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned.
Yue Yao looked at him and said, "Remember when I asked you to drip your blood into that mirror?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "I always remember that I will drip a drop every once in a while. Maybe because of this, it will mutate and the spiritual liquid will become more powerful. But this is different from that little tree..."
Suddenly, his heart trembled, and he seemed to have vaguely guessed something.
Yue Yao said softly: "The spiritual liquid contains your breath and blood essence. You have been watering it with the spiritual liquid, so it has already recognized you as its master."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Suddenly, he said with a strange look on his face: "Sister Yue, does the spiritual liquid really contain my breath and blood essence? If it is true, then... you also used it, will there be my... cough, will you also become... unique to me..."
He opened his mouth and the words came to an abrupt end.
A slender jade finger had touched his chest without him noticing when.
He instantly turned into a frozen corpse, unable to speak.
"Won't."
Yue Yao then said calmly.
Her eyes were cold, and she continued, "People are different from trees. It was just a dying tree root before, but you saved it and raised it with your own blood. That's why it is uniquely yours."
"Card!"
Luo Qingzhou melted the frost on his body, looked at her deeply and said: "But, Sister Yue, I also want you to become... mine..."
