Chapter 220 Thunder Qi Body Refinement, Late Stage of Second-Order Body Refinement
No matter how far away he was, he could still hear the explosion.
A moment later.
Qi Sheng, a cultivator at the third level of Core Formation, landed smoothly at the bottom of the lightning-striking pit. The completely dark environment slightly impaired his vision.
He casually summoned several fireballs, which were evenly distributed over a distance of more than ten meters around him, providing a very bright field of vision. This place was not only deep but also wide, with the bottom of the pit having a diameter of nearly a hundred miles.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it another underground world.
He wasn't sure which direction Wang Yu would escape to, but judging from where he jumped, he shouldn't be far from the nearest cave in the wall.
"Fragrant bat".
"Squeak squeak squeak—"
As expected, the spirit beast confirmed its location almost without any interference, ignoring the nine illusory bodies released by Wang Yu, and flew straight towards his real body.
Seeing this, Qi Sheng quickly followed, but he also took out several black talismans with gold patterns and carefully affixed them to his body. These were lightning-controlling talismans.
Faced with a sudden attack of lightning power, a layer of protection will be generated quite quickly to avoid being paralyzed by continuous lightning strikes, which could lead to a difficult situation where one cannot escape. This is due to experience.
There was no sign of thunderstorms when we came in, but who knows if it will suddenly rain? Summer sun showers come in bursts.
In case the special mechanisms of this place are triggered, we can react quickly.
Not long after.
Before an incense stick's time had even elapsed, Qi Sheng noticed the problem ahead: the Fragrant Silk Bats were circling around the area, constantly issuing warnings.
"A concealment array? Ha—naive!"
Qi Sheng subconsciously flicked his sleeve, and his magic power, accompanied by a gust of wind, rushed out. The pale blue wind blades slashed out a dense net of blades, instantly breaking the concealment array.
He instinctively sensed something was wrong and wanted to back away.
A large number of pre-arranged talismans exploded, including many second-tier talismans, and he even saw talismans commonly used by the disciples of the Yellow Springs Temple.
"Ninefold Nether Blade Talisman, Ice Spear Spell Talisman, Sandstorm Talisman, Smoke Corrosion Poison Talisman..."
Without a doubt, it was Wang Yu who arranged this.
By simply maintaining his protective aura, Qi Sheng could withstand most of the power unleashed by the talismans. When his protective aura reached its limit, he could easily block the remaining power.
"Wang Yu—"
At this moment, Qi Sheng was already somewhat angry. A gust of wind blew beneath his feet, empowering the Fragrant Bat and his own body. He was about to accelerate!
…………
…………
In the distance, in an unknown cave.
Wang Yu suddenly heard the sound of the explosion, silently calculated the time, kept track of the pursuers' progress, but felt somewhat depressed.
"It triggered the trap I left so quickly, which means that from the moment it fell to the bottom of the pit, this guy didn't hesitate at all and chased after me directly in the right direction."
Muttering to himself, Wang Yu quickened his pace, even using the Frost Moon Wings, a perfected escape technique, to accelerate.
Without a doubt.
The enemy's formidable pursuit capabilities dealt him a heavy blow.
Right now, his divine sense is spreading out, constantly using the perception ability of the Mountain Search and Demon Finding Secret Technique to imprint the terrain of the dark cave in his mind.
By continuously calculating the intersections of various passages, Wang Yu drilled into a small, hollowed-out area resembling a transfer station and blew it up without hesitation.
Using the Purple Dragon Earthwalking Technique at its minor completion stage, one can directly skip this distance, causing the opponent to experience a certain degree of information loss and interference.
only.
The idea was good, but problems arose when trying it out.
The environment of the lightning crater is too special. Over the years, it has been constantly hit by thunderstorms and thunderstorms, and has been struck by lightning from nature.
The rocks and soil here contain a vast amount of thunder energy.
When Wang Yu used the Purple Dragon Earth-Traveling Technique to enter, it felt like being in a sea of thunder. Every step he took was met with electric shocks, almost interrupting the operation of the Earth-Traveling Technique.
Fortunately, his body was strong enough to ignore low-power lightning, and moreover, his arms were engraved with wind and lightning spirit patterns, making him very adaptable to lightning energy.
After barely managing to escape for a thousand meters, it finally couldn't take it anymore and emerged from underground.
"Fuck!"
Unable to resist cursing, Wang Yu rubbed his numb body, then suddenly stopped.
"Huh—"
He discovered that the dragon blood medicine that had accumulated in his body had begun to be absorbed at an accelerated rate again, and the speed at which the essence and blood in his spine condensed had more than doubled.
"That's right. There's an old saying about tempering the body with thunder. Facing heavenly thunder directly would be a bit presumptuous, and collecting scattered thunder energy from nature would be too slow."
"The lightning power contained in the deep lightning pit is just right; it can affect the physical body without being too strong, damaging the foundation and life."
Wang Yu felt a pang of regret at the thought of the pursuers behind him.
If I don't seize this opportunity, I feel an unbearable itch, like a cat scratching at my heart.
"Xueyu!"
The speeding figure paused, and Wang Yu released the three-tailed snow fox, which looked at him with a completely bewildered expression.
Wang Yu then removed the hairpin, placed the Taiyin Nourishing Coffin and the corpse attached to it into Xueyu's mouth, and took off his clothes to drape over it, giving instructions.
"Just keep running forward, with all your might! When you feel exhausted, take the top-grade pill in this pocket. If you get caught, throw out the demonic corpse and fight it."
Ah, this—
Spiritual beasts are intelligent, let alone foxes, which are inherently clever and cunning. It felt that it had been tricked by its master, but couldn't quite put its finger on what the problem was.
What awaits Xueyu is a long-distance race that will not end in the short term.
"Oh, wait a minute."
Wang Yu reached into his inner robe and pulled out a somewhat old storage bag. It was a standard storage bag for outer disciples of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, and it was heavily imbued with his aura.
Inside were items of considerable historical and cultural significance, including a somewhat withered arm from which the faint traces of Wang Yu's aura lingered.
It was the divine corpse arm that he had eliminated that Xueyu wrapped around with her tail, and he instructed her again.
"If you encounter a thunderstorm, hide in the coffin that nurtures evil spirits. It will be no match for you. Run... go all out."
The three-tailed snow fox looked back every few steps.
At the corner, it finally stepped on the icy mist and began to gallop low into the air. It didn't know where it was going or what it was going to do; it just kept running forward!
Wang Yu also disappeared into the rocks and soil, feeling the lightning energy constantly invading his body. He went deep into the soil for two thousand meters in one go, but he could no longer hold on, so he activated the wind and lightning spirit pattern to actively devour the lightning energy.
This caused the lightning patterns on his arms to become brighter and brighter, gradually covering his entire arms. After descending another three thousand meters, the Wind and Thunder Spirit Pattern Secret Technique reached its limit, and Wang Yu hurriedly took out the Starfall Cold Furnace.
He deliberately crawled inside, and the Ice Dragon Flame surged from his body, transforming into chains of fire that sealed the furnace. He used the sealing technique from the Cold Dragon Alchemy Art.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the longer it takes to refine.
Especially during the elixir-forming stage, sometimes even the most vigorous fire refining methods cannot complete the process quickly. In such cases, the elixir-sealing method is needed to seal the furnace and slowly complete the elixir-forming process.
At this point, it wouldn't be a big problem even if the alchemist left.
Advanced sealing techniques can prevent the leakage of any trace of elixir energy. In this context, isn't it a sophisticated technique for concealing one's breath?
As a third-tier incomplete alchemy technique, the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique, after being restored to the second-tier perfection, was still placed in Wang Yu's inventory for gradual completion and restoration.
The sealing technique it provided barely reached the third level. Combined with the invisibility technique and the breathless spell, along with the movement of the three-tailed snow fox, he was confident that he could evade his pursuers.
As the Ice Dragon Flame faded and everything returned to silence, Wang Yu was slowly digesting the thunder energy that had surged into his body, and drops of his essence blood were condensing at an unimaginable speed.
The growth of body refinement cultivation is rapid and fast, with almost no limit.
Qi Sheng continued to pursue Wang Yu's trail.
When he encounters a blocked passage, he ignores it and clears away all obstacles with a single blow of his palm.
When he arrived at the empty passage node, sensing that the end of the aura was just around the corner, he patted the Fragrant Bat, and the kilometer distance was covered in an instant.
As long as there is wind in this passage, even bats can smell the fragrance from a great distance, let alone a mere kilometer away.
Upon arriving at this location, the Xiangluo bats suddenly became restless.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Qi Sheng communicated with him through his consciousness for a while, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, I understand... After arriving here, Wang Yu's aura has become stronger."
"The auras of the corpse and the fox are still there? Hmm, it seems we're not far from him. Let's keep chasing!"
After Qi Sheng left, Wang Yu, who was underground, felt the ground shaking gradually subside and breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party could track him, he could naturally sense the other party as well.
Upon realizing that he was alone, his thought of leaving immediately vanished. He wasn't sure where the other person's companions were, and if they were guarding the lightning pit, he would be in a bind.
Furthermore, the Three-Tailed Snow Fox, the Taiyin Fiend Corpse, the Fiend-Nourishing Coffin, and so on are all things he cannot give up. Leaving now would not only involve risking unknown dangers but also face serious losses.
It would be better to absorb the lightning energy underground and refine your body until you reach your limit.
And so it was.
Through the alchemy furnace, Wang Yu began to absorb the hidden thunder energy in the earth. The digestion of the dragon blood medicine in his body entered a high-speed channel, and a continuous stream of essence blood was generated in his spine.
After the accumulated secret medicine in his body was completely digested, he took out more secret medicine from the Sea Heart Ring and took it. This opportunity to temper his body with thunder energy was extremely rare.
The essence and blood quickly broke through the bottleneck and surged toward 999 drops.
What Wang Yu didn't know was...
As he actively absorbed the lightning energy, the wind and lightning spirit patterns also had a similar gathering effect, which caused a dense layer of lightning to condense outside the Starfall Cold Furnace.
The light crackled and flickered incessantly, and only the portion approved by Wang Yu's divine sense could penetrate into the furnace; he was like a ball of lightning.
Accumulate, accumulate... and accumulate some more!
Once a certain limit was reached, the entire lightning pit was activated, triggering the lightning storm mechanism. At the same time, lightning bolts as thick as an arm burst forth on the walls of all the caves.
Intertwined and flashing, they formed a terrifying electric grid, constantly moving towards the center of the lightning crater, converging at various nodes as they passed through channels.
This will immediately create an even larger thunderstorm. When it reaches the cavity at the bottom of the deep pit, which is hundreds of miles wide, it will trigger a sea of thunderstorms, making it impossible for Foundation Establishment cultivators to survive.
Even Core Formation cultivators cannot be guaranteed to survive; there must be corresponding methods to counterbalance them.
After a thunderstorm occurs.
The lightning energy within the pit became increasingly active, which manifested in Wang Yu as a significant increase in his body-refining efficiency.
The essence and blood condensed into 999 drops in an instant, then merged and dispersed again, repeating this process three times. After three condensations and three dispersions, it finally solidified into a single drop of mixed true blood.
The Yinming Demon Dragon Technique was pushed to its limit.
"Disperse!"
With a soft shout, the Yinming Demon Dragon, formed from blood and qi, suddenly appeared, its size rapidly increasing to over thirty meters, and Wang Yu's physical strength surged.
