The grade of this sutra was not inferior to the Guanyin Heart Sutra. In Jiang Li's hand, there was also a branch of the Nine Netherwood to assist in his practice.

It is no exaggeration to say that these conditions are unique, and cultivation naturally proceeds very smoothly.

Even now that he has just mastered it, the strength of the Nine Ghost Qi alone is enough for Jiang Li to crush his former self with a single move of his hand.

As for the other mysteries of Taoist scriptures, Jiang Li still needs to explore them slowly on his own.

Currently, there are eleven spiritual fruits hanging on the treetop of the spiritual root clone, ten of which are Qi Refining stage earth fruits of other attributes, and one is a Nine Netherworld Earth Fruit of the water attribute foundation building stage.

Of course, there are also nine spiritual root seeds that have been drained of nutrients and only have seeds left.

Jiang Li can now also choose to take the Nine Netherworld Fruit with other attributes to generate a new pseudo spiritual root.

However, he would definitely not put too much energy into cultivating the newly generated pseudo-spiritual root. At most, it would just give him an additional auxiliary means.

Jiang Li thought about it and ruled out the three spiritual roots of gold, earth, and yang, which were completely unrelated.

Now he still has a few choices.

Water attribute spiritual roots, fire attribute spiritual roots, and ice attribute spiritual roots.

Yes, Jiang Li had already put the spiritual root seed, which was as big as a durian seed, into Jiuyou's clone.

It can now be confirmed that the power contained in this spiritual root seed comes from a Jindan cultivator with mutated ice attributes.

That person is undoubtedly the elder Duan Shuang.

It seems that the genius elder of the Demon-Suppressing Hall successfully separated the seed of the spiritual root before his death, and was then swallowed by the red-coated rat.

Jiang Li felt much more relieved. He lived in the other party's old house and dug out the other party's inheritance. Now he didn't have to worry about the secret revenge of a Jindan cultivator.

As for how to deal with that power, Jiang Li naturally wanted to try what the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, which was condensed from the essence of a Jindan stage cultivator, tasted like.

Taking such a three-star earth fruit would not only allow him to obtain a rare mutated ice attribute spiritual root, but also allow him to become an ice attribute Jindan stage cultivator in a very short period of time.

The temptation here is naturally very great. If it were someone else, they would eat it without saying anything.

But for Jiang Li, that was all. The realm that could be achieved after eating the earth fruit was the realm of Dan, not Jindan.

That’s because Elder Duan Shuang had just been promoted to the Golden Core stage back then, and it could be said that he had no accumulation at all.

After his death, this spiritual root seed changed hands several times and stayed in the body of the red-coated rat for a while before being forced out by Jiang Li using a waste pill.

Such an operation would cause great damage to the spiritual root seeds. Jiang Li already knew this when he was doing experiments on salmon.

If this spiritual root seed was transformed into the Nine Netherworld Fruit and swallowed directly by him, the value would inevitably be discounted again due to the incompatibility of properties.

The golden elixir that Jiang Li had been coveting for a long time now meant that it was gone.

Elder Duan Shuang risked betraying the sect and even his own death in order to refine the golden elixir that could bring both life and death.

No matter how you think about it, you know that the golden elixir is definitely extraordinary.

Even Jiang Li would feel extremely sad to let such a thing be lost in vain. So no matter what, Jiang Li planned to keep the golden elixir first.

In addition, for Jiang Li now, having an additional ice spirit root in the Jindan stage may not be of much help to him.

It may even do more harm than good to his future.

You must know that the Dao foundation is the basis of a cultivator's practice, it is the beginning and foundation of everything, and it is a stage that cannot be taken lightly.

With Jiang Li's current condition, he is practicing the three methods of spirit, body and qi at the same time, and all of them are top-level skills inherited from ancient times.

By that time, when he has established his foundation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he will be unprecedented in history. At that time, his combat power as a Jindan stage person will most likely not be bad.

But now, if one uses fake spiritual roots to hastily build a foundation just for the sake of a Jindan cultivation level, and throws all the previous accumulations down the drain, it would be like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

So after thinking it over again and again, Jiang Li gave up the temptation of the ice spirit root and planned to let Jiuyou's clone absorb all the energy of this spirit root, so that he could make the most of every bit of power.

So, Jiang Li now has two choices.

Water gives birth to wood, and the cultivation of pseudo spiritual roots is used to continue to enhance the power of the Nine Netherworld Taoist Scripture.

Wood creates fire. By using an extra fire spiritual root and then amplifying it with the nine ghost spirit energies, one can obtain fire attribute cultivation with equally impressive combat power.

This made Jiang Li a little difficult to decide.

. . . .

Letting his spiritual root clone begin to digest the Jindan stage cultivation, Jiang Li finally walked out of his hut.

In the base, most of the monks went to watch the game, and there were not many people in this area.

Huh? Jiang Li suddenly turned his head and looked towards the street corner not far away, and a pair of eyes met his.

The other party was an outer disciple whom Jiang Li had no impression of. After Jiang Li discovered him, he immediately showed a panicked look as if he was caught doing something bad, and turned around and ran away.

Jiang Li's spiritual attributes at this time were far beyond those of ordinary people, which made his spiritual perception also quite powerful. Within this distance, he would immediately notice if someone looked at him.

He discovered this situation as soon as he went out. It seemed that the man had been waiting there and monitoring him for a long time. This behavior obviously showed that he had no good intentions.

Jiang Li frowned, but didn't take it too seriously.

He left his hut and strolled towards Huichun Hall.

The Sutra Valley residence within the secret realm of the medicine garden was not very large, and was very close to the buildings of the Demon Subduing Hall, so he arrived there quickly.

But obviously, the medical practitioners of Huichuntang must be on standby at the side of the stadium at any time, so Jiang Li missed the opportunity this time.

In Huichun Hall, there were only a few registered disciples drying and sorting medicinal herbs in the yard.

These are all high-year-old elixirs produced in the secret medicine garden. One Ganoderma lucidum can be as big as a washbasin, which looks quite exaggerated.

After taking a look, Jiang Li was planning to leave and go to the competition area to ask Senior Sister Qi Yu for help, but at this glance he saw an acquaintance.

"Lu Qianqian? It's been a long time."

In the yard where medicinal herbs were drying, there was a petite registered disciple who was slicing a few radish-sized pieces of Polygonum multiflorum.

Hearing Jiang Li's voice, Lu Qianqian raised her head. Her baby face had become thinner after not seeing her for a few months, and her sleeves were tied up on both sides. It can be seen that she has become much more capable now.

It seems that the outer sect is really a place where people are tempered. It is difficult for people who don’t work hard to survive in that kind of environment.

"Jiang...Senior Brother Jiang Li."

When Lu Qianqian saw Jiang Li, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then her expression became very complicated.

In those days, they were actually still friends. They attended classes together in the Transmission Hall, went on missions together, and formed a small group within the outer sect to help each other.

It was just that due to Yu Banxia's later incident, a somewhat awkward gap formed between Jiang Li and that small group.

Especially Lu Qianqian, she didn't blame Jiang Li for not saving Yu Banxia.

But the key point is that Yu Banxia died at the hands of Jiang Li.

Although this was a sect mission and Jiang Li had no choice, there was nothing wrong or incorrect about it.

But in Lu Qianqian's opinion, it is difficult to be so rational.

I asked you to save someone, but you ended up killing him and took advantage of it to become an inner sect disciple.

This kind of logic is difficult to adapt to the minds of ordinary people.

But Jiang Li and she were not very familiar with each other. It was his duty to help her, and it was his duty not to help her. She had no reason or position to blame Jiang Li.

So in the end, this awkward situation turned into simply not wanting to see each other again.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, they met here again.

“Well, you don’t have to be so polite, but I don’t know when you entered Huichuntang. After that, we can be considered neighbors in the sect.”

Now, one of them is from the inner sect and the other from the outer sect, and their statuses are different. The other party called him Senior Brother, and Jiang Li smiled and accepted it calmly.

However, Jiang Li also remembered that Lu Qianqian was originally a medical practitioner with a family inheritance. As long as her cultivation level was high enough, it would not be difficult for her to join Huichuntang and do odd jobs.

"I have only been in Huichuntang for a short time, so you are usually busy and naturally don't know."

Lu Qianqian's tone of response was still a little awkward. It was obvious that she was not used to speaking to Jiang Li in a "respectful" tone.

Jiang Li didn't care much. After talking about this and that for a while, he suddenly remembered something.

In fact, Yan Hong had already invited Jiang Li when he first joined the inner sect.

On the one hand, we remember the past friendship, and on the other hand, we are really short of manpower.

However, perhaps out of some self-esteem considerations, they ultimately rejected Yan Hong's kindness.

After all, everyone has middle or upper grade spiritual roots, so it is indeed a little hard for them to accept being inferior to others.

But now, Jiang Li and Yan Hong are getting better and better, and any little benefit that slips out of them is enough to make their lives much better.

With Jiang Li's current status and means, it is not difficult for him to recruit a few subordinates as long as he makes a call. On the contrary, many people will be scrambling to join him.

Now, just because of the little bit of affection we had in the past, I say this to give them a chance and give them a final hand.

"This... Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang Li. I will talk to Qu Qianfan and the others. It's just that Huichun Hall is busy with affairs, so I..."

Everyone has their own aspirations. It is quite good that Jiang Li said this. It is simply impossible to ask him to do everything possible to provide psychological counseling to others.

"Yeah, it's okay. Huichuntang is pretty good. By the way, have you met Senior Sister Qiyu today?"

After asking about the competition venue where Senior Sister Qi Yu was, Jiang Li said goodbye to several other junior sisters and walked out of the base.

Walking on the street, Jiang Li took out a small piece of paper, which Lu Qianqian had stuffed into his hand before he left.

When she spoke, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if there was something important that she had not said.

After opening the paper ball and scanning it, it said, "An outsider wants to harm you, so do not leave the station in the near future."

There wasn't much written on the note. Jiang Li pinched it with his hand and the note turned into powder and flew away.

He didn't go back to Lu Qianqian to ask any more questions.

This didn't mean much to him, and what Lu Qianqian knew should be quite limited.

Judging from the outer disciple who had previously peeped into Jiang Li’s residence, it was likely that someone was secretly bribing the outer disciples of Sutra Valley to collect and pass on information about Jiang Li.

I guess he found Lu Qianqian, which is why she noticed it.

But Jiang Li has always been kind to others. Who would deliberately try to deal with him?

This kind of thing is really... something to look forward to!

Jiang Li licked his lips and wandered around the market which was becoming more and more prosperous.

This competition is truly a grand event for the immortal cultivation world of Dachong Mountain, with an extraordinary number of cultivators gathering here.

Jiang Li was also eye-opening to the various strange and bizarre things, both real and fake.

Things like magic weapons and elixirs were all very common. Jiang Li didn't even bother to look at these junk.

Have you ever felt the temperature of a girl with a mysterious yin in her horoscope? Have you ever smelled the smell of a fox demon with a natural charm? The giant snails on the shore of the Red Sea, the ice lotus on the top of the snowy mountain, and even some regional specialties outside the Dachongshan area, all of these are for sale.

This kind of large-scale market, which has not yet formed rules, can be said to be a rare opportunity. Before there is anyone to coordinate and manage it, there are no taboos here.

Even Jiang Li was generous and spent a lot of things he used and didn't need, spending several months' salary.

"Sir, my master wants to invite you for something. Please spare me a moment to talk."

Just as Jiang Li bought a bag of rootless flower seeds and was about to pay the bill, a servant suddenly came forward and helped Jiang Li pay the spirit stones.

Jiang Li stuffed the seeds into the burial coffin in his arms, and then looked at the respectful servant.

Paying for him for no reason doesn't seem like a bad person.

"Who is your master?"

Jiang Li asked curiously.

"The master and you are acquainted, please follow me."

The servant handed Jiang Li a piece of brocade handkerchief.

Jiang Li took it and spread it out to see that there were two small swords embroidered on it, one blue and one red.

Jiang Li smiled and did not refuse. He followed the other party and walked forward slowly.

The route they took was winding and the further they went, the further they were from the center.

Later on, they even left the market area and walked towards the jungle on the outskirts.

The servant in front looked anxious and nervous, looking back from time to time.

But seeing that Jiang Li was calm and followed him leisurely, he showed an expression that he didn't know whether it was confusion or relief.

The young man finally stopped only after he entered the jungle and was completely out of the sight of other monks.

"Sir, we are here. Please wait here for a moment, my master will be here soon!"

The servant bowed to Jiang Li and was about to leave.

When he wanted to take a step, he found that he could not lift his feet.

The boy looked down.

At some point, several roots broke through the ground and bound the boy's feet tightly.

The young man looked up in shock, only to find Jiang Li looking at him expressionlessly.

"Your Excellency! I have brought Jiang Li here! Your Excellency, Your Excellency, help me!"

"Help...Help~"

As soon as the boy shouted this, his body began to shrivel up. After a few breaths, he shrunk into a wrinkled human body the size of a monkey.

Everything in his body, including his soul, was sucked away by the roots of the Nine Nether Wood.

"You are so brave! You dare to commit murder in front of me!"

From the forest, a figure dressed in gorgeous clothes burst out, carrying with him a majestic aura and moving at an incredible speed.

Jiang Li saw a dazzling golden light flash before his eyes.

It turned out to be a heavy golden abacus, smashing towards Jiang Li's heart.

But judging from the situation, how could the object that was thrown at him be just gold?

Jiang Li's expression immediately became solemn. His right fist instantly turned as black as ink. He gathered up his tremendous strength and faced the attack head-on without any fear.

Boom! The pitch-black fist and the golden abacus collided.

Two terrifying energies collided immediately. It was aura and aura, power and power, a head-on collision without any fancy moves.

Jiang Li's physical strength was so brutal, and the Nine Ghosts' aura passed down from ancient times was so overbearing, that with this punch, even a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage would die on the spot and turn into mud.

But the opponent's golden light was not weaker at all, and was even stronger.

Snap! Snap! Snap! The beads on the golden abacus jumped one by one, and the power was still rising.

The two opposing forces only lasted for a moment.

A figure turned into a straight stream of light and shot backwards.

In an instant, dozens of large trees were broken in half wherever the figure passed, wood chips flew everywhere, and huge trees fell down.

Finally, the figure flying backwards adjusted its posture in the air and kicked the air behind it twice, finally stopping its retreat.

In that collision, the one who was knocked flying was Jiang Li Benli! "I haven't suffered such a loss in a head-on collision for a long time!"

Jiang Li looked at his bloody right hand and the joint that was dislocated by the impact.

There was an expression on his face, I couldn't tell whether it was excitement or pleasure.

"A cultivator in the Jindan stage? It couldn't be better!"

Jiang Li has been beaten, why don't you cast two votes to support him? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
