Build... foundation
Looking at Xu Hong's state, Yu Qiu felt this strange fluctuation, and finally these two words gradually appeared in his mind.
Xu Hong wants to build a foundation? No, he is preparing to build a foundation now! The foundation will be built soon!
Yes, Yu Qiu kept confirming in his heart that this kind of fluctuation was definitely not wrong, it was the preparation before the foundation building, and it was a sign that a monk in the Qi refining period was about to build the foundation.
Yu Qiu's scalp exploded immediately.
If Xu Hong succeeds in building the foundation, a mere ghost will be nothing to worry about, but Yu Qiu can't feel the slightest joy. Because Xu Hong's situation is really too bad, no one can keep Xu Hong to support the consumption caused by this foundation establishment. If something goes wrong, it will be the same as when Yu Qiu broke through the Nascent Soul, not only can't take that step completely, but he will die directly.
No... The probability of Xu Hong's success in building the foundation right now is not impossible to guarantee, it is simply impossible!
Because just like Yu Qiu who was in the refuting spirit array back then, Xu Hong is now in the depths of a dark cave, surrounded by thick yin energy, and cannot touch enough spiritual energy at all!
Therefore, when the monks experience in the cave, they will carry a teleportation talisman with them. Once they feel the opportunity to break through, they will activate it immediately before the breakthrough, leaving the real breakthrough process outside the cave.
But at this moment, it is obviously impossible for Xu Hong to have this condition. You must know that the teleportation talisman is a talisman in the foundation period, not to mention that even if Yu Qiu had a teleportation talisman in his pocket, it would be useless not to meet Xu Hong.
Xu Hong couldn't even forcibly interrupt his foundation building process, because his foundation building process was actually carried out in a coma. What's more, if he doesn't build a foundation, he will probably die.
Yes, only when Xu Hong builds the foundation at this time can he have a chance of survival.
Yu Qiu took a deep breath and finally made a decision: In that case, let him build it!
It's just a narrow escape, it's a narrow escape! It's just that I can't touch the aura... It's just that I can't touch the aura...
Yu Qiu gritted his teeth and pulled out a large handful of talismans.
A lot of them are all spirit-gathering talismans.
He broke out with a rush of energy like desperately, and used the talisman to repel the ghosts who were still entangled around him, and rushed to the battlefield where Gao Conghan and the ghost general were fighting fiercely. Xu Hong, who kept waving it in his hand, aroused all the large handful of spirit-gathering talismans in one breath.
Ten, twenty, thirty... At this moment, even Yu Qiu couldn't count how many spirit-gathering talismans he had aroused. He only knew that his meager soul power was being consumed like water. In the end, there was no more dripping water left, and he almost fainted from the headache.
One spirit-gathering talisman may not be able to affect the strong yin energy, and ten spirit-gathering talismans may not be able to communicate with the aura outside the cave through a full four layers of barriers, but right now there are nearly a hundred of them!
After only a moment of calm, the whole cave seemed to start to vibrate slightly. The vibration became more and more open, and then gradually there were more roars.
boom! boom! boom!
Countless auras swept in, like a torrent, pouring straight down from the outside to the inside of the cave, smashing down every barrier it encountered! It hit all the way to the fourth floor of the cave, where Yu Qiu used the talisman just now, and beside Xu Hong!
The superimposed power of nearly a hundred spirit-gathering talismans is simply terrifying.
Yu Qiu was blown away by the turbulent spiritual energy all of a sudden. When he stood up, he saw that the ghosts everywhere, Gao Conghan and the ghost general were all blown away, and then the dumplings seemed to be plopping. Falling back to the ground, stumbling around.
In the very center of the torrent of spiritual energy, only Xu Hong stood floatingly.
Then the spiritual energy began to rotate, and the torrent began to change direction, continuously rotating around Xu Hong, and pouring into Xu Hong's body.
With this rotation, there are flying sand and rocks everywhere, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains.
Yu Qiu was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, Yu Qiu felt that he seemed to have made a mistake...
But he didn't know that if he used too many spirit-gathering talismans in the cave, it would be like this. The so-called one who doesn't know is innocent...
Boom! Just as he was thinking, a huge boulder suddenly fell from his head and hit Yu Qiu beside him, making his face turn pale with fright.
Terrible! If the hole really collapsed, how could we escape!
Fortunately, just after this moment, those rushing air currents finally calmed down.
All the spiritual energy has been inhaled by Xu Hong. I saw Xu Hong floating there quietly, his eyes still closed, and only the fluctuations around him could tell others that this monk was building a foundation.
The establishment of such a huge momentum... only this family...
Even those yin creatures seemed to be stunned by this movement. After a long while, the ghost general realized that he roared angrily and rushed towards Xu Hong, wanting to grab the food again.
Yu Qiu silently lit a candle.
Xu Hong opened his eyes.
Just as he opened his eyes, Xu Hong burst out with sword energy all over his body. The flying sword on Xu Hong's waist was still lying at the entrance of the cave, but he didn't have a sword in his hand, he was the sword himself. Every sword cultivator, the sword intent that erupts when the realm breaks through is the purest, clearest, and unparalleled in power, just like the sword cultivator himself.
Xu Hong's sword intent is like this. It is long, agile, and full of changes, but it also has the deepest firmness rooted in the deepest part, just like the path it has taken in the past ten years of refining qi.
The sword intent is pure and fierce, and it is the nemesis of Yinwu.
When Xu Hong opened his eyes completely, the ghost general in the foundation building period had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a little yin energy floating in the air.
Gao Conghan stood up and met Xu Hong's eyes.
Gao Conghan is now deeply possessed, and his mind is in chaos. He had completely forgotten who the person in front of him was, and he had completely forgotten why Xu Hong was standing here. He only remembered that he had been chasing this person all the way, and wanted to hold this person firmly in his hands. Now that Xu Hong is finally close in front of his eyes, and all those obstructions have finally disappeared, Gao Conghan was so excited that he rushed towards him without thinking.
Then…
Xu Hong shouted loudly, "You demon cultivator! You are really rampant!"
"Wait..." Yu Qiu felt that he should explain the misunderstanding.
But before Qiu could say a word, Xu Hong had already sent Gao Conghan flying with a burst of sword energy. Gao Conghan was unprepared, he was pulled far away at once, and fell into the darkness on the other side of the road, making a loud noise.
Yu Qiu could only silently light a candle for Gao Conghan.
"Junior brother Yu?" Xu Hong just saw Yu Qiu, "Why are you here? Could it be that demon cultivator..."
"No no," Yu Qiu quickly explained, "I'm here to save you."
As a result, Xu Hong not only didn't thank him, but also reprimanded him, "What a mess! Do you think you can deal with that demon cultivator!"
Yu Qiu wiped off his sweat, "Actually, that demon cultivator... is also here to save you..."
Xu Hong was stunned.
"Although he caused you to be like this, he regretted it very much, so he dragged me to save you... Ahem, really, although he is a demon cultivator, he is actually a good person, but sometimes his brain is not very good. It's normal." Yu Qiu said while sweating on his forehead. How to convince Xu Hong to trust Gao Conghan, so as not to expose his identity, is really difficult.
By the way, why hasn't Gao Conghan come here yet? Could it be that Xu Hong's blow was so hard that Gao Conghan couldn't get up anymore
Yu Qiu hurriedly walked towards the other side of the road holding the light talisman, and he saw Gao Conghan lying flat on the ground without moving.
Yu Qiu raised his head and glanced at Xu Hong who was frowning beside him.
"He... really came to save me?" Xu Hong frowned and asked.
Yu Qiu nodded.
Xu Hong sighed, and was about to say something, when there was a loud noise from far below the ground, and the whole cave suddenly shook!
In the blink of an eye, even the ground under their feet was crooked. Then just a few bangs were heard, and the cracks on the ground were piled one upon another, spreading like lightning across the night sky, splitting the ground instantly!
The ground where Gao Conghan was located collapsed, and he fell into the abyss below.
Yu Qiu wanted to rush over, but he couldn't even stand firmly on his own, but for a moment, the ground under his own feet was trampled. At the critical moment, it was Xu Hong who held Yu Qiu back, and with his sword energy, he chased after Gao Conghan where he fell.
But the light talisman couldn't shine that far, Gao Conghan's figure was completely engulfed by the darkness, and he couldn't find it no matter what.
What's worse, the whole cave has collapsed!
Really collapsed!
Xu Hong looked at all this with a pale face, and while leading Yu Qiu to avoid the boulders falling from above, he couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Why is it so unlucky! It's hard to build the foundation, and before I have time to be happy, I just encountered such a thing."
Under the collapse of the Yin Cave, even if he had already built a foundation, he might not be able to escape with just a mere foundation builder.
But Yu Qiu didn't say a word for a long time, Xu Hong felt that he might have been frightened stupid.
In fact, Yu Qiu was indeed talking to another guy.
[can be upgraded]
—Hey, it can be upgraded anyway, isn't it still a few hundred experience points away? wrong! You see the situation is good! At this time, you come and talk to me about upgrading!
[This is the time] The system is very calm, [Let’s see Shengsheng, maybe there will be a turning point]
—Let's go up, let's go up! It's time like this, if you want to upgrade, just upgrade!
As soon as the words fell, the ring marks on Yu Qiu's wrist flashed slightly. Compared with the radiant movement last time, this time the system has finally mastered the correct way to upgrade in a low-key manner.
[The causal ring has been upgraded to the third level]
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yu Qiu always felt that the tone of the system was a bit special, as if it was full of joy that a long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, as well as some other kind of joy.
[Congratulations to the host, you have mastered the final form of the causal ring, and you can start the function of the causal slot]
— Karma slot? What the hell
As soon as a word was asked, something had already appeared in Yu Qiu's mind.
It is a long strip, like a transparent and sealed tube, with a word engraved on each end of the long tube, with a red "Thai" on the left end and a blue "No" on the right end.
[This is the karma slot]
Right in the middle of this long transparent tube, there are two kinds of liquids rippling, one red and one blue, the red is next to Tai on the left, and the blue is next to No on the right. The two liquids occupy one end at each end and are incompatible with each other. , forming a very clear boundary line at the junction. Right now, there is a lot of blue liquid in this transparent tube, which squeezes the junction line at the other end, and presses the red liquid next to the Thai character on the left end to almost a thin slit.
While Yu Qiu was in a daze, another boulder fell from above. Although Xu Hong pulled him to avoid it in time, a hole was pulled out on Yu Qiu's arm at the edge of the boulder.
"Why is it so unlucky again!" Xu Hong was still complaining, "It just happened to fall on top of our heads!"
But Yu Qiu could clearly see that just when the stone scratched his arm, the blue liquid in the karma tank swelled a little more, pushing the boundary line even closer to the red Thai character. As for the red liquid next to the word Thai, it was squeezed into an unbearable compactness. Yu Qiu even had a premonition that the red liquid seemed to have been squeezed to the extreme, like a spring that was constantly being compressed, it might bounce back at any time, exert force suddenly at any time, and bounce back the boundary line in one go.
[No Pole Tailai]
The systematic explanation was leisurely and calm.
But in fact, the red water that seemed to have been squeezed so hard by the blue liquid, as if it would bounce up in the next moment, was still there, and never really rebounded.
[The karma slot can honestly record the good luck and bad luck you have provoked, and tell you whether it is easier to hit good luck or bad luck next. Red is good luck, and blue is bad luck. Most people's luck is balanced, so if the bad luck is too much, the luck will naturally improve. The boundary line between good luck and bad luck will never deviate too far from the center. But you are different. The price of changing your fate against the sky has already made your causal balance extremely biased towards bad luck]
[But the karma slot can forcefully bring you good luck]
[The host can use all the remaining experience points at one time, and then he can choose a good luck according to his own wishes, an "inevitable" good luck]
[Just please note that whenever you encounter good luck, the red representing good luck will increase, let the junction line shift to the "no" end, squeeze the blue representing bad luck, that is to say, it will increase and then the bad luck will rebound possibility, even the good luck created by using the karma slot still follows this principle]
[Moreover, the good luck created by using the karma slot consumes far more good luck points than the good luck encountered naturally]
[If you understand, you can try it now]
[It's amazing, isn't it? Haha, nature is miraculous, this is my life... ]
Halfway through the system's words, the system fell silent, quietly waiting for Yu Qiu's choice.
Yu Qiu also felt that he needed to be quiet, because what the system said just now was far beyond his understanding. The second-level function that can be exchanged for sword tactics and spells, etc., although powerful, can still be a magic weapon that can do things. What kind of karma slot is this, is it something that magic weapons can do? Forcibly choosing good luck was something that Yu Qiu had never heard of even on the road of cultivation for hundreds of years in his previous life.
But right now there is absolutely no condition for him to be quiet.
Yu Qiu gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision. It's such a time, and the first-line turnaround is good, so we have to fight!
—I pay all the experience points, hoping for good luck that will allow us to escape smoothly.
—Let everyone escape smoothly!
[good]
