He walked closer to the shore step by step, and suddenly he noticed an unconcealed magical pressure coming from afar.

He immediately stopped and frowned, "Fourth level of Qi training? Who got there first?"

He lowered his body cautiously and looked outside, and saw a thatched hut. Outside the hut, there were two figures, one big and one small.

There are several acres of medicinal fields and streams flowing around the house. A few toads that have just transformed into monsters are eating insects in the woods.

"This man is quite unreasonable. He actually occupied the mountain and built his house there. He won't leave?"

The skinny Taoist frowned.

The next Qi origin flow was about to come, and he had planned to rely on the Five Elements Rotation Formation as a trump card to increase his combat power and seek greater fortune.

If I give up this jade toad, time will be running out and I won’t know where to find other suitable toad monsters.

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across the skinny Taoist's eyes.

He slapped his storage bag, and five rays of light shot out.

There were five formation flags, which rose to half a person's height in the wind. They were of different colors: blue, yellow, red, white, and black. However, the black flag was a little damaged and incomplete, with a blank space on it.

The skinny old Taoist had spent decades cultivating this Five Elements Rotating Formation, and had exhausted all his family wealth before he was able to complete the four formation flags.

Of course, it is also extremely powerful and can be used for both attack and defense. Even cultivators who are one or two levels higher than him can be engaged in a fight.

The only flaw is the Black Water Flag which has not yet taken shape. If it encounters a brute force collision, there is a risk of it breaking.

The skinny old Taoist didn't approach rashly, but stood just a hundred feet away.

This is the limit of the perception range of practitioners in the early and middle stages of Qi training.

He made up his mind to kill with one blow.

First put down the formation flags, then activate the talisman.

"It's a pity that I don't have any extra spirit stones. If I could buy a tortoise-shell shield to protect myself, it would be perfect..."

The skinny old Taoist grinned fiercely and was about to make a hand gesture.

Then a small toad the size of a washbasin jumped out from the bushes nearby, croaked, and jumped towards the skinny old Taoist with a hint of anger.

The skinny old Taoist looked displeased and wanted to kill it, but suddenly he found that the toad venom on the toad's body was in the form of golden sand, very dazzling, and there was a smell of sulfur.

"Golden Toad Sand? This is a great fertilizer for increasing soil fertility in the art of spiritual planting! I am lucky today!"

A hint of joy flashed across the skinny old Taoist's face, and his spiritual energy flowed and turned into a palm, directly grabbing the toad.

He clapped the formation flag and was about to make hand gestures.

At that moment, another fat toad timidly crawled over and croaked. The skinny old Taoist raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "It actually has the effect of a Gu Heart. This toad can be refined into a bell-raising treasure! Today, the old Taoist has good luck!"

The fat toad looked drowsy and didn't seem to be moving much.

The skinny old Taoist chuckled, took a few steps forward, and also captured it.

Then, another quack came from deep in the woods, near the shore.

After obtaining several monsters, the skinny old Taoist was overjoyed, but he lost his composure slightly.

Hearing this, he subconsciously took a few steps forward to see which cute toad it was.

When he pushed aside the branches, he felt a strong wind blowing towards him.

A huge shadow was creeping and enveloping him.

He looked up in shock, and saw pieces of bony scales as big as palms, densely packed, filling his entire field of vision.

His sight continued to move upwards, and suddenly a pair of eyes emitting flickering flames appeared. They had drooped eyelids and were looking at him with a strange look.

"Bi, Biyu Yuanchan? Is it the toad I saw by the river a few months ago?"

"But... the second level of Qi training? How could it be so fast? What did it eat?!"

The skinny old Taoist priest had seen this jade toad while flying in the sky on a stormy night several months ago.

But, wasn’t it just a little demon at that time?

The immortal gate is about to open, that is about to open!

There are more than tens of millions of little demons stuck at this step. The skinny old man's thoughts were a little confused.

However, the Jade Yuan Chan felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the body of this immortal cultivator.

I also have some doubts in my mind.

Immortal cultivators, or immortal cultivators in the Qi training stage, do not seem to be as powerful as imagined.

The threat posed by this skinny old Taoist priest was even less than that posed by Wen Shoufei.

A warrior who cultivates his spirit is not weaker than an immortal? A guess emerged in Jade Yuanchan's mind.

"disease!"

The thick demonic aura rushed towards him. The skinny old Taoist roared loudly and activated his magic power. The five formation flags were waved and rolled, spinning in the air, emitting cold rays of light.

However, his movements were fast.

But how could it be as fast as the Jade Yuanchan that was within several feet? As soon as the water was controlled, the skinny old Taoist groaned, and the blood in his body rushed uncontrollably, and even his magic power became disordered.

The five battle flags were shaking, flickering.

The skinny old Taoist looked horrified and stepped back suddenly.

However, the Jade Yuanchan turned into a black shadow and rushed over at high speed, ignoring the cold light of the formation flag hitting his body, and bit it off! The sky in the eyes of the skinny old Taoist was dark, demonic clouds were rolling, and the hurricane blew his hair.

The protective golden light suddenly lit up, but in the blink of an eye, it exploded like a bubble.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

The skinny old Taoist priest was filled with horror. He looked at his body that was almost bitten off. He frantically used his magic power, and the five formation flags shone brightly! Boom! Boom! Boom! Large tracts of ancient trees collapsed and burned, and smoke filled the air.

The Jade Yuan Toad was completely aroused and held on tightly, but the golden talisman hanging around the skinny Taoist's waist was still effective, and from time to time, the golden light of protection would light up and sparks would fly.

Among the five elements rotating flags, the black water flag was suspended in the air, but the light was extremely dim. A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Jade Yuan Chan, and it suddenly jumped up.

Swallow!

The strange bag in the throat opened, and the air waves rolled back, beating and enveloping the black water flag.

With a whoosh sound, it fell into the strange bag.

The Five Elements Rotating Flag was broken, and the skinny old Taoist spat out a large mouthful of blood. The breath that he had been holding on to in his heart finally let go.

Gurgle gurgle…

Then, large amounts of blood flowed out of the skinny old Taoist's body.

He stared at the Jade Yuan Toad that was so close to him, with confusion, doubt, shock, and resentment in his eyes.

Finally, his struggling body softened.

The light in his eyes completely disappeared.

The Jade Yuan Toad took a few bites, split its body into pieces, and shattered it with its demonic power, then spat it out with some disgust.

Jade Yuanchan discovered that his talent for controlling water after his advancement seemed to be more lethal to cultivators who did not specialize in body cultivation or martial arts, compared to monsters! The physical strength of this cultivator was roughly equivalent to that of a warrior in the Bone Penetrating Realm.

However, immortal cultivators are good at making use of objects, and will use talismans and body protection spells to protect their relatively weak bodies.

The Jade Yuan Chan condensed the man's blood and essence into blood beads, but did not swallow them on the spot.

Instead, he stood beside the skinny old Taoist's corpse.

Sure enough, after more than ten breaths, a ghost that looked like a blurry human figure flew out from the corpse.

The Jade Yuan Chan exhaled a breath of evil spirit, and with just one roll, the ghost was completely shattered amidst a shrill scream, and its soul flew away.

"What the old immortal said is indeed true. After the cultivator receives the spiritual energy and gathers the three flowers on the top of his head, he will have a ghost and the possibility of rebirth by possessing another body.

Although the soul of a Qi training cultivator is weak, a breath of cold wind or a ray of scorching sun is enough to dissipate it, but one should not be careless, because the soul is scattered and destroyed is the final step of the battle. "

For some reason, I was looking at the corpse of this cultivator.

A heavy weight was lifted from Jade Yuanchan's heart.

That was... the first time I discovered that the high and mighty immortals could also get hurt, get afraid, and after death, they would naturally become arrogant and greedy!

It was like a cat that tasted blood, completely shattering the fear in its heart.

Immortals can also be killed!

Jade Yuanchan faintly heard the rustling sound of footsteps and the suppressed yet panicked breathing coming from behind her.

The strange bag in the throat put the skinny old Taoist's corpse and five formation flags into it. With a gust of evil wind, the figure of the Jade Yuan Chan disappeared from the spot.

…

"Stay here and don't wander around."

The fight in the dense forest was going on for quite a while, and Ming Jingzi was hesitant to get close.

When the smoke cleared and the fight seemed to be over, Ming Jingzi instructed Shen Dan and then shouted from afar, "Which fellow Taoist wants to fight here? I am Ming Jingzi, a disciple of Master Chunji of Qingxu Mountain. I am here to pay my respects."

Qigong practitioners are still at the starting point of the road to immortality, their magic power is weak and insufficient, and they have not yet formed a complete system to protect the way and seek immortality.

Only those who have established their foundation and have an endless supply of magic power, enough to refine a variety of magic tools and have initially built a complete system of protecting the way and seeking immortality, can be called upon to make a major repair . Ming Jingzi moved out of the master's sect and shouted for a long time, but no one responded.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked into the forest cautiously step by step.

"This aura is at least that of a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training, and there is also demonic aura... Did he kill the demon, or was he killed by the demon?"

Sensing the pressure of magic power, Ming Jingzi felt more solemn. Silently, he picked up a heart thunder talisman in his palm, ready to go.

Pushing aside the branches that blocked the view, Ming Jingjing looked out.

Then, he saw the back of a giant toad nearly three meters long, tearing and gnawing at something.

Large clouds of unextinguished burnt smoke rose up, ancient trees were broken, and the ground was pitted.

There was still a lingering smell of blood and evil spirit in the air.

Bloody limbs fell to the ground, and battle flags lay scattered on the roadside.

Ming Jingzi's pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned pale as paper, and cold sweat immediately wet his back.

"It's the Jade Yuan Toad!"

"How is this possible?! It's only the first level of Qi training... No, this Qi, has it broken through?!"

"That's... the Five Elements Rotating Flag? Hiss, a fellow Taoist who possesses such a magical weapon is actually in the hands of the Jade Yuanchan."

Ming Jingzi was so frightened that his heart nearly jumped out of his throat. He immediately lowered his breathing and held his breath, terrified.

They, the master and the disciple, had actually been living next to this fierce beast for such a long time?! How could they be so confident and not afraid of this Yuanchan?

When Ming Jingzi thought of this, she was shocked and frightened.

"When we, as cultivators in the wilderness, meet fellow Taoists in the wild, in order to avoid being entangled with calamity energy and triggering a disaster in advance, we must signal loudly or activate the cry talisman to show that we have no intention of stealing money or killing people!"

"This cultivator sneaked in here secretly, maybe... he has murderous intentions?!"

Ming Jingzi's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly reacted.

Swish! A fierce wind blew, and the grass and trees bent.

Ming Jingzi took a few steps back and saw the Jade Yuan Toad riding on the evil spirit and turning into a residual shadow and disappearing into the distance.

Before leaving, those eyes that were burning with fire seemed...

And glanced at him.

Ming Jingzi suddenly became like a quail, hiding in the bushes and not daring to breathe.

Seeing that the Jade Yuanchan had completely left, Ming Jingzi hurried back, pulled Shen Dan over, and was ready to run away without even going back to the hut.

"Master, are we leaving?" Shen Dan was still a little confused.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Ming Jingzi took out the hairpin on her head and injected magic power into it. The hairpin swelled in the wind until it was nearly seven feet long and one foot wide.

"Go, sit on it, and go quickly!" Ming Jingzi's urgent voice came.

Shen Dan looked at the direction of the pile of rocks with some reluctance and said,

"Ah? But I want to say goodbye to that Yuanchan."

Ming Jingzi was so frightened when he heard this that he pulled Shen Dan over and said in a low voice,

"You are asking for your life! That toad is very fierce! Even your master, I... um, can only fight it with a 50-50 chance!"

After saying this, regardless of Shen Dan's reaction, Ming Jingzi and the other person sat on Fei Zan.

The flying hairpin seemed unable to carry the two people, and it rose shakily.

"You, boy, must have stolen some elixirs these days and gained a lot of weight!" Ming Jingzi's voice sounded with a hint of complaint.

"I didn't eat much, I didn't eat much, just a little bit." Shen Dan explained.

The flying hairpin rose to a height of a hundred feet, then accelerated little by little from slow to fast, finally cutting through the sky and disappearing into the depths of the clouds.

…

The Jade Yuan Chan raised his head, watched the master and disciple's escape light pass over his head, and then lowered his head silently.

After spending several days as neighbors, I also received indirect guidance from Ming Jingzi.

Jade Yuanchan was also unwilling to sit back and watch him die at the hands of others.

Although, it vaguely felt that the skinny Taoist was coming for it...

"Hiccup..."

The Jade Yuan Chan burped and began to count the spoils.

"Is this... a beast-taming ring?"

Jade Yuanchan pulled out a bracelet-sized jade ring from the skinny Taoist's tattered body.

At this moment, with the death of the skinny Taoist priest, the Jade Yuan Toad's demonic power surged, and the restrictions of the Beast Taming Ring were instantly broken.

Toad One and Toad Two emerged from the Beast Taming Ring, their eyes still a little confused.

"Dark, dark, dark, so dark!"

"My lord, my lord, there are tadpoles..."

Snap!

The Jade Yuanchan had no choice but to blow Toad Two away, and Toad One also suffered an unexpected disaster.

I have decided that next time when I cultivate the next generation, I will give priority to male horned toads.

Regardless of the species, being female only affects the speed at which one becomes stronger.

In addition to the beast-taming ring, there is also a gray bag, which should be a storage bag;

Five formation flags and a half-used, completely burned golden talisman.

The Jade Yuan Chan spent half a day using its demonic power to repeatedly erode and wear away the restrictions on the storage bag, and finally took out the contents.

Five low-grade spirit stones and several pieces of metal that Jade Yuanchan couldn't distinguish.

"Hmm? This is... the Demonic Scripture? The Scripture of Enlightenment for All Beasts?"

After clearing away a large pile of debris, there were also several bottles of Qi training pills.

Jade Yuanchan's eyes lit up and he took a thread-bound book.

Then he saw that it was actually a demon scripture that could help the little demon to open his wisdom, gain enlightenment, and thus draw spiritual energy into his body, embarking on the path of demon cultivation.

Although it is only an entry level, the highest level of practice is only to the late stage of Qi training.

But for the Jade Yuanchan, it is a very precious existence.

Although he himself does not need it, he can allow Toad Da, Toad Er and Golden Eagle to practice.

After all, the path of reversion to one's ancestors is not an easy one, and not every monster is as different as it is.

Most of the demon beasts that returned to their ancestral state died on their way to becoming immortal.

The mortality rate is far greater than that of comprehending nature and practicing demon scriptures.

In addition, through his own study of the demon scriptures and his ability to draw inferences from other cases, he also gained new insights into the path of cultivating immortals.

It's a pity that there are no cultivation techniques for humans. I think treasures related to cultivation techniques are also extremely precious to cultivators, and they will not carry them with them.

Finally, the Jade Yuanchan looked thoughtful.

Those five formation flags were obviously the skinny Taoist's life-saving magic tools and core objects, so they could be kept.

You can also leave five spirit stones behind.

The other treasures, including the golden talisman, were put back into the storage bag.

For some reason, the Beast Taming Ring could not be put into the storage bag, so Jade Yuan Chan tied the two together.

Then he controlled the water to catch a dragon crocodile and threw the storage bag and the beast-taming ring into the dragon crocodile's stomach.

After driving the dragon crocodile to swim towards the deep water, the Jade Yuan Chan finally felt relieved.

God knows what strange tricks this group of immortal cultivators have. What if the skinny Taoist's relatives and friends come to him by using some hidden tricks or forbidden auras?

It's also troublesome.

After doing all this, the Jade Yuan Chan returned to the big stone tablet and spat out beads of blood.

These are all transformed from the essence and blood of that skinny Taoist priest.

Blood is the essence of human beings.

The essence and blood of these immortal cultivators contain almost all of this person's Taoism.

It is almost like a human-shaped medicine, and it exudes a refreshing fragrance. As soon as the Jade Yuan Toad smelled the odor, it instinctively felt the desire to swallow it.

A drop of blood fell into the stomach, and immediately turned into surging essence.

On the back of the Jade Yuan Toad, the scales that were broken by the formation flag were wriggling and forming scabs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a few breaths, he was completely healed.

An old dark purple scab was left behind.

The fully grown warts are harder and stronger!

Seeing this, the Jade Yuan Chan was slightly delighted and swallowed several blood beads in succession. It did not close its eyes until its stomach became a little uncomfortable and then it fell asleep.

…

Crash!

There was a muffled explosion in the sky.

Flashing purple arcs filled the night sky.

The earth shook with thunder and lightning, and then it rained heavily.

Raindrops as big as beans fell, and the Nituo River was blown up by a fishy wind and huge waves hit the sky.

The Jade Yuan Chan was suddenly awakened, and saw a scene in which the God of Heaven was furious and seemed to be crushing the earth.

In this situation, it suddenly remembered the rainy night half a year ago when it first met the immortal cultivator.

The same terrifying wrath of heaven! "Qi Origin Flow?"

Jade Yuanchan thought silently.

According to Ming Jingzi, the origin of Qi is one of the wonders of heaven and earth in the world of immortal cultivation.

Mother Earth walks and creates the calamity zone.

When God is angry, there will be all kinds of wonders.

The origin of Qi is one of them.

Legend has it that the gate of heaven to the fairyland opened, and someone with great supernatural powers drove a dragon chariot, managed mountains and rivers, and stepped on the destiny of the world, causing the fairy energy to overflow into the mortal world.

At this time, a large number of treasures will be born in the entire world of immortal cultivation. During the period of Qi origin, the success rate of alchemy, equipment refining, talisman making, etc. will be greatly improved.

If it is a weaving method, there will be endless inspiration. If there is divine help, a complete method can be created overnight! The origin of Qi, it is hard to say whether it is a gluttonous carnival in the entire cultivation world.

But for some reason, the source of Qi is rarely seen in decades.

And now, in just half a year, it has happened twice.

Most of the cultivators who have recently appeared in the Nituo River, including the Skinny Taoist and Ming Jingzi, want to take treasures from the river while the Qi is flowing.

The mud and sand rolled and the waves were huge.

From time to time, the light of cultivators' escape would pass across the sky.

Jade Yuanchan looked into the depths of the Nituo River and saw countless precious lights rising from the water, and all kinds of creatures in the frosty sky competing for freedom.

If the Jade Yuan Chan was just a little demon before, it would naturally choose to avoid its edge.

But now...

It swam silently with its body over two meters long into the river, but did not create even a ripple.

I dare not eat people directly, but I dare to eat. Who knows, this book may be eaten tomorrow... I dare not gamble... I can only save the country in a roundabout way and swallow its essence and blood.
