Chapter 17 - Increase in Strength ~ 1Xu Xuan suspected that he was hallucinating due to being too tired. He struggled to close his eyes and fiercely opened them again, but reality told him that this was not an illusion!
The reason why Xu Xuan was shocked, was because of such a tender stalk of gra.s.s!
This was a tender gra.s.s that glowed slightly. In the dark night, its entire body was emitting a faint green light. One could tell that this gra.s.s was not ordinary! It was because this was a profound medicine that it could absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Being able to absorb profound energy by itself, even if it was only a first grade profound medicine, was still a priceless treasure.
It was precisely because Xu Xuan"s second brother, Xu Mu, obtained a first rank profound medicine that he managed to jump from the peak of the Fifth Stage of Profound Qi to become a strong expert at the middle stage of the Sixth Stage of Profound Qi. And the gra.s.s that the rainbow bird was holding in its mouth was a first grade profound medicine. Xu Xuan remembered that this was called Profound Star Gra.s.s!Because the profound medicine was able to emit a weak light in the darkness, it looked like a star in the sky, so it had the name Profound Star Gra.s.s, and it was precisely because of this characteristic that Xu Xuan clearly remembered this point.
After a moment of shock, Xu Xuan couldn"t help but swallow his saliva: "Beautiful bird, is your Profound Star Gra.s.s for me? If you can save my, Xu Xuan"s, little life today, I can promise you three things in the future, and I won"t go back on my word! "
Xu Xuan"s voice was extremely gentle. It was unknown whether it was because he lacked strength or because he was afraid of scaring away the little bird with a loud voice, but he clearly knew in his heart that this was the only life-saving straw. He had to tightly grasp it!He never thought that this little bird would actually slant its head and stare blankly at him for a moment, as if it were thinking about something, causing Xu Xuan"s heart to churn.
But very quickly, the eyes of the multicolored bird lit up, and actually nodded its little head. This caused Xu Xuan, whose heart was still in the air, to uncontrollably heave a sigh of relief."Thank you so much!" I, Xu Xuan, will remember your kindness in this life! "
Glancing at him with a grateful gaze, Xu Xuan raised his head and opened his mouth wide.
Sure enough, the exquisite bird flew up to his mouth, gently placed the Profound Star Gra.s.s on top of Xu Xuan"s mouth, then flapped its wings and looked at Xu Xuan.
After grabbing onto the life-saving straw of gra.s.s, Xu Xuan unhesitatingly chewed and swallowed this Profound Star Gra.s.s.
The moment the Profound Star Gra.s.s entered his body, an extremely gentle yet as boundless as the energy of the ocean immediately transmitted over. Coincidentally, this Profound Star Gra.s.s also had the wind attribute, so it didn"t hesitate to circulate its Wind Spirit Art to gather the energy into his meridians, and then towards his dantian.
The moment this profound energy entered his dantian, the Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade became like a dried up well. The suction force immediately transmitted over and greedily absorbed it, allowing the profound energy to quickly gather above it.In just a short moment, Xu Xuan felt that his profound energy had recovered quite a bit, and his physical strength was slowly returning as well. Furthermore, the profound energy there was being continuously absorbed, and transformed into profound energy of the wind attribute!
"Many thanks!"
Xu Xuan gratefully looked once more at the incomparably exquisite little rainbow bird, endured the pain, and climbed up in one go.
When he arrived at the top of the cliff, he was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. The little bird flew to his side, looking at it with a pair of spirited eyes.
"Aiya! "He"s about to break through!"
The Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade in his body unceasingly drew profound energy, which saved Xu Xuan a lot of effort. However, he quickly felt that he was about to break through! With just a few leaps, he arrived at a large tree. Seeing that it was relatively secluded, he immediately sat down cross-legged and started cultivating in preparation for his breakthrough.
Although Xu Xuan had a strong soul force and had Hong Sha"s experience in cultivation, he wouldn"t have any huge bottlenecks when he cultivated to the Mysterious G.o.d Realm, breakthrough was a key factor, and it was forbidden to be impetuous. Otherwise, even if a person with even better talent couldn"t calm down, it would still be easy for him to go berserk!
The profound energy of the Profound Star Gra.s.s was greedily being absorbed by Xu Xuan, and there wasn"t a shred of waste. When he once again opened his eyes, the sky had already lit up!
"As expected of the profound medicine! It"s already at the early stage of Sixth Stage of Profound Qi! "Xu Xuan slowly stood up and tightly clenched his fists. He discovered that the profound energy in his body was five or six times stronger than before, and there seemed to be an inexhaustible amount of energy in his body.
The injury on his left hand had actually miraculously grown out of flesh and blood due to the recovery of a night Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade. The flesh on his fingers looked white, but the overall feeling was a little heavier than the right hand.
After looking for a long time, Xu Xuan couldn"t find any other reason. Without thinking further, he fiercely jumped down from the ground, and the moment he landed, he remembered that colorful bird.
"Sigh, we won"t even have the chance to repay your grat.i.tude this time around?"Xu Xuan could not help but feel dejected. He remembered that he promised the exquisite bird three things, and now that he thought about it, he really knew how to speak nonsense. Even if the bird had a human nature, it could not possibly tell him anything.
Helplessly shaking his head, Xu Xuan began to survey his surroundings. He was completely unfamiliar with this place, he had been busy with running for his life last night, and he did not have any direction to flee. He did not even know where exactly this place was in the forest.
"Roar!"
Waves of low and deep beast roars resounded in the distance, and it was actually quite impressive. couldn"t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself, It can"t be that he jumped into the depths of the forest randomly, right?
"Forget it, since we are already at the early stage of Stage Six and have recovered our previous cultivation, we will have to find a few beasts to test our skills and earn some Qi Gathering Pill!"
After experiencing this narrow escape, Xu Xuan knew how to cherish his life and became even more determined to become stronger. Obviously, killing a Goblin Beast was his best chance to stabilize his current cultivation and increase his fighting strength.
Sure enough, after searching for a while, Xu Xuan found a level four. Although he did not know how strong he was, it should not be difficult for him to kill a level four Steppe. After all, the strength of the Steppe was equivalent to a human stage five cultivation.
Demonic beasts were divided into nine ranks, but due to the fact that the bodies of demonic beasts were inherently stronger than humans, under normal circ.u.mstances, the fighting strength of demonic beasts would be slightly higher than humans of the same level.Therefore, a first tier demonic beast could only be dealt with by second tier mystical Qi cultivators, and a ninth tier powerful demonic beast required a human tenth tier mystical Qi expert to contend with. But the level four Steppe in front of Xu Xuan could only be dealt with by cultivators with Fifth Stage of Profound Qi, so it was best that Xu Xuan used it to practice.
It had to be known that this time, the main target of hunting team was to hunt Level 3 and Level 4 demon beasts. A Level 5 demon beast could occasionally kill a lone demon beast, but if it encountered a few, it could only retreat or take a detour.
Seeing the Steppe that had just finished eating a Mystic Wind Pig, Xu Xuan"s eyes flashed with light! He pulled out the dagger from his sleeve and held it tightly in his hand. He immediately held his breath, immersed himself in his state of mind and laid on the ground like a leopard hunting for its prey.
