One day later.
Xue Kong, who was fleeing, paused and stopped under an ancient tree.
Rich spiritual energy emanated from his body, impacting his form.
He felt an incomparable heat inside his body, spiritual energy was flowing through his limbs and bones, the spiritual sea in his dantian was surging violently, and a blood pill was floating above the spiritual sea, emitting spiritual energy.
The spiritual sea absorbed the power emerging from the blood pill and gradually grew stronger.
With a bang.
After reaching a certain critical point, the range of the spiritual sea expanded, which also enabled Xue Kong's cultivation to break through from the fourth level of Qi Condensation to the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
"After swallowing the blood pill, I was on the run and had no time to stop and absorb its effects. After a day, I finally reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation!"
Feeling the power brought by the fifth level of Qi Condensation in his body, it was much stronger than before, but Xue Kong looked normal and showed no joy.
Even though his cultivation had broken through, he was still unable to deal with the person chasing him from behind.
However, the breakthrough in cultivation was not without benefits. At least it gave him the strength to continue escaping.
The blood pill was not completely absorbed, and more than half of it continued to float above the spiritual sea.
If Xue Kong were given time and actively absorbed the energy, it would be hard to say what level of cultivation he could reach, but there was obviously no such opportunity at the moment.
"It's catching up again, so fast!" Xue Kong turned his head to look at the sky. The giant purple-striped python was like a leech. No matter how hard Xue Kong tried, he couldn't get rid of it.
What surprised Xue Kong was that after such a long chase, the other party had several chances to catch him, but did not make a move. He didn't know why, but he was not stupid enough to run up to the other party and ask.
About to continue fleeing.
Suddenly, an indescribable sense of life-and-death crisis arose in Xue Kong's heart, making his hair stand on end, and his body subconsciously moved to the side from where he was standing.
Just as he dodged, a dark shadow passed by where he had just stood.
Before Xue Kong could stand firmly, an unknown object, with a bone-chilling chill, gradually wrapped around his neck, and a fishy smell rushed into his nose.
"If you dare to act rashly, you will die!" When Xue Kong was about to lower his head to check the situation, the emotionless voice of a woman behind him came into his ears.
Then, Xue Kong finally saw clearly what was crawling onto his neck.
It was a small green snake.
The snake's slender body, as thick as a finger, wrapped around Xue Kong's neck three or four times, and its head stopped right in front of Xue Kong's eyes. He could even see a red line on the tip of the green snake's nose, and every inch of its scales.
The little green snake stuck out its tongue and stared at Xue Kong coldly. It did not attack immediately, but was waiting for something.
"Who are you?" Xue Kong was stunned and stood where he was, not making any rash moves.
"Tiandu Sect, Jiuxing Lian'er." The woman's voice appeared again, and Jiuxing Lian'er walked out from behind Xue Kong like a ghost.
As she walked out, Xue Kong felt a chill getting closer and closer to him.
"What do you want?" Xue Kong asked slowly, staring vigilantly at the little green snake wrapped around his neck.
He won't ask the other person why they are pursuing him.
In the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and things like killing and stealing treasures can be seen everywhere. This question is meaningless.
He would not ask the other party to let him go. Based on his hundred years of experience, this request was also meaningless.
The only topic that should be discussed between two living people is the exchange of interests.
He knew that Jiuxing Lian'er would not kill him for the time being.
Although the little green snake was wrapped around his neck, it was not wrapped too tightly. He could breathe freely, and his Adam's apple could roll when he swallowed his saliva.
Jiuxing Lian'er walked up to Xue Kong.
At this moment, Xue Kong finally had the chance to look at the girl.
She was dressed in tattered clothes, had long black hair, and a small, delicate face, giving people a gentle and pleasant feeling, but her eyebrows were tightly pressed together, with a bitter look between her brows, and there was a long-accumulated coldness in her eyes, which kept people at a distance.
She had a pair of special dark purple eyes, which did not have a bright divine light, nor were they as bright as those of a cultivator.
What concerned and surprised Xue Kong the most was her left hand.
On the back of the slender left hand, there was actually a poisonous scorpion. It was not a dead creature, but was actually crawling.
Xue Kong understood that Jiuxing Lian'er was also practicing poison skills. The poisonous scorpion on the back of her hand and the small green snake wrapped around her neck were obviously her spirit beasts.
These two are not ordinary poisonous insects, but are fed with spiritual energy and already possess the power of spiritual beasts.
"I don't know." Jiuxing Lian'er responded indifferently.
Then he ignored Xue Kong, leaned his back against an ancient tree, and played with the poisonous scorpion on the back of his hand, not worried at all that Xue Kong would escape from here.
Xue Kong frowned: "I can't tell the level of this woman's cultivation, but she must be at least at the seventh level of Qi Condensation."
"The most troublesome thing is this venomous snake. It has the power of a spirit beast. I can't kill it before it bites me."
When the little green snake found Xue Kong looking at it, it immediately became unhappy. It bared its fangs and roared threateningly at Xue Kong.
What made Xue Kong even more alert was that... venom was dripping from the fangs of the little green snake.
"It's the offspring of the Jade Queen Snake. After careful training by me, it has already reached the first level of Qi Condensation. A single drop of its venom can kill cultivators below the fifth level of Qi Condensation within a day."
Perhaps because she could see that Xue Kong was still trying to escape, Jiuxing Lian'er warned him, "If you don't want to die, then stand there and wait for the Poison Lord to arrive."
Hearing this, Xue Kong restrained his intention and stopped looking at the green queen snake.
Instead, he turned to look at Jiuxing Lian'er.
