After half a day of rushing and climbing over a hill, Xue Kong looked up and saw a dense forest at the foot of the new hillside, and behind the forest was a vast lake.
Seeing this lake, the familiar scene in his memory came to Xue Kong's mind.
He no longer hesitated, activated his cultivation, climbed down the mountain, and ran towards the forest. Quicksand appeared under his feet, leading him through the relatively safe forest to the front of the lake.
"That's right, the evil creature is hiding deep in this lake." Xue Kong smiled slightly.
This was the location where Xue Kong discovered the hidden monster when he first entered the Demon Valley in his previous life. The cave where the sleeping vine was located was discovered by someone for the third time, and he remembered it after it was spread out.
The lake in front of me is about ten feet wide and extends to both sides. It seems to have no end and cannot be calculated.
Across the lake are tall pine and cypress trees, crowded together, like a giant lying on the ground. Looking at the lake from afar, they look like guardians, as if guarding something at the bottom of the lake.
Xue Kong looked at the lake at his feet.
The lake water is so clear that you can see the pebbles lying quietly beneath the surface. The water plants sway gently with the flowing water. Dead branches that have floated from somewhere are sunken here and no one cares about them.
A few small fish were swimming around leisurely, not disturbed by Xue Kong's arrival.
However, if you raise your eyes and move them from the shore to the center of the lake.
You will be surprised to find out.
It was bottomless and pitch black there.
People who live on the shore often hear a warning from their elders when they are young.
Clear water is shallow, green water is deep, black water is deep, blue water is wide, and yellow water is fast.
At this moment, the water in the center of the lake is pitch black, telling people on the lakeshore that there is an abyss under the center of the lake.
This is indeed the case. In Xue Kong's memory, the evil creature is hiding under the abyss of water.
He did not enter the lake immediately, but looked back. Seeing that the young man had not caught up with him, he simply sat cross-legged on the gravel and began to think seriously.
"That person has been able to find my location time and time again. I think he must have some magic weapon to help him. I don't have to worry about him not finding me."
Xue Kong murmured, "Killing him won't do me much good. Unfortunately, this man is too determined to kill me. I can't let him go. I must kill him right here and right now!"
Xue Kong is not a bloodthirsty person. He kills people only for benefits or to solve problems.
In other words, if there were benefits to not killing, he would not kill.
Killing is not the goal, it is just a means to achieve the goal.
After pondering for a moment, Xue Kong looked inward with his spiritual sense and began to scan the spiritual sea under his abdomen.
The spiritual sea is entirely composed of spiritual power.
The spiritual sea at the seventh level of Qi Condensation was already extremely powerful and surging. Amidst the surging tides, a rustling sound was heard, bringing endless spiritual power to Xue Kong's meridians throughout his body.
"With my natural spiritual roots and talent, I haven't been able to successfully break through my cultivation level for so many days. It shows that the path of cultivation is extremely difficult." Xue Kong seemed to be a little emotional.
In his previous life, he didn't have to worry about breakthroughs in his cultivation, as someone had prepared for him.
Now that he needs to rely on himself, he finds it extremely difficult.
However, this was also because he did not have many resources for cultivation. He did not have any spiritual stones, elixirs, spiritual liquids, or other spiritual objects that could improve his cultivation. It could be said that he was extremely "poor".
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had killed two monks from the Qinglang Sect not long ago.
I snatched two storage bags from them.
He took out two storage bags from his arms. They were made of ordinary coarse cloth, the same as his storage bags.
With the death of the owners of the two storage bags, the spiritual consciousness imprinted on the bags had long disappeared. Xue Kong opened them easily, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into them and swept through them.
"A total of seven low-grade spirit stones and four unknown pills." Xue Kong muttered, took out all the spirit stones and pills, and put them directly into his storage bag.
There are also different levels of spirit stones.
Low-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones.
The higher the level, the larger the spirit stone is, the purer the spiritual power it contains, and the easier it is to absorb.
Those who can own mid-grade spirit stones are generally cultivators above the Jindan stage, and only cultivators above the Yuanying stage are qualified to own high-grade spirit stones. As for the top-grade spirit stones, even in his previous life, Xue Kong had never heard of anyone owning one.
After all, Jingwu Kingdom is just a small third-level cultivation country. Looking at the entire cultivation world, it is like a speck of dust.
In addition to seven low-grade spirit stones and four unknown pills, Xue Kong also found a piece of black talisman paper in one of the storage bags.
The talisman paper is soft and feels gritty when you rub it with your hands.
On the front of the black talisman paper, there was a vermilion wolf head pattern. Seeing this vermilion wolf head, Xue Kong's eyes narrowed slightly.
This talisman paper is not made of cinnabar, but of unknown blood.
A talisman paper made of blood, and the talisman paper itself is not the common yellow, but black.
This unusual scene made Xue Kong curious.
He stood up, held the black talisman paper between his fingers, and began to inject spiritual power into it.
With the continuous infusion of spiritual power.
The talisman paper fluttered and shook violently upwards as if going against the wind, and the red wolf head on the front became brighter and brighter, until finally, a rough wolf howl was heard from it.
Under Xue Kong's constant gaze, the black talisman paper disappeared and turned into a flash of spiritual light. It flew out and landed on the gravel ground not far away. The black light flickered and transformed into a giant black wolf.
"Black wolf demon soul?" Xue Kong narrowed his eyes slightly. A black wolf demon soul was sealed inside the talisman paper.
The black wolf was huge, with its back as tall as Xue Kong's shoulders. When it just raised its head slightly, it was several times taller than Xue Kong, with thick black fur all over its body.
A pair of cold eyes stared at Xue Kong, revealing a cold look.
"It's majestic, but its cultivation is insufficient, only at the sixth level of Qi Condensation." Xue Kong didn't feel sorry. He guessed this when he found that the black wolf demon soul was sealed in the talisman paper.
Otherwise, the cultivator from the Green Wolf Sect would not be a small disciple who could be ordered around by anyone.
Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, this is his trump card and he will not use it easily.
But in Xue Kong's opinion, it can only be regarded as not useless at best.
Xue Kong raised his hand and grabbed the black wolf demon spirit.
The black wolf demon soul shook its body and turned into a black light again, flying into Xue Kong's hand, and turned back into the appearance of talisman paper, which was put into Xue Kong's storage bag.
Apart from that, there were only some miscellaneous items left in the two storage bags.
Xue Kong took a quick glance and then looked away. He casually threw the two storage bags into the lake and let them drift downstream with the current.
After doing all this, Xue Kong sat cross-legged on the ground again. With a sudden thought, he took out the four pills, stared at them carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I dare not take this pill."
The unknown is often accompanied by danger, and Xue Kong will not risk his life to try it.
He also did not absorb the seven spirit stones immediately.
He simply sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and breathed in the spiritual energy around him, waiting for the arrival of the young man who had reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation.
