Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

During his fight with Jiang Bogang, Li Zhirui did not forget to scatter purifying lotus seeds, aiming to purify this vast and evil land and obtain the merit of this place.

The reason he risked injury to keep fighting it was to buy more time for the Purifying White Lotus to grow.

At first, Jiang Bogang didn't notice anything amiss, but as time went on, he realized that although the other party was constantly dodging, the laws around him were surging, and flashes of spiritual light appeared from time to time, clearly indicating that he was doing something.

When he glanced behind him, he was surprised to find that the once empty and sinister place was now filled with pure, white purifying lotuses.

"What are these things?!"

Jiang Bogang frowned subconsciously, a look of genuine disgust appearing on his face.

"As expected, you cultivate the Law of Purification!"

Li Zhirui remained calm. The Purifying White Lotus had now fully grown and was rapidly purifying the evil and filth in the area. He no longer needed to use his laws; he only needed to protect the White Lotus and prevent it from being damaged.

In less than half an hour, he will be able to obtain the merit from this place, and then he can find a way to leave.

"I will absolutely not let you succeed!" Jiang Bogang said through gritted teeth.

His current reaction was as if he had been toyed with by an ant he looked down upon; his face was terribly gloomy.

He then stopped attacking Li Zhirui and instead turned to attack the endless stream of purifying white lotuses.

But Li Zhirui wouldn't let him succeed!

He had been avoiding fighting the other party because he was focused on nurturing and purifying the white lotus, but now that the white lotus had fully matured, he no longer needed to worry about it.

If it comes down to sheer strength, he is indeed no match for Jiang Bogang, but he doesn't need to fight him to the death. He just needs to hinder the opponent and prevent the purification of the white lotus from being harmed.

And this is exactly what Li Zhirui excels at!
Countless beams of spiritual light landed, and in the next instant, a large number of vines rose from the ground, quickly forming a wall that separated Jiang Bogang from the Yin and Evil Land.

"Trying to stop me with this kind of method? That's underestimating me!" He sneered disdainfully, swung his sword, and unleashed a sword aura, but the scenario he expected did not occur.

Those seemingly fragile vines were not severed by the sword energy, nor were they even seriously damaged; only a small wound remained on them.

As one of Li Zhirui's main means of fighting enemies, how could he not upgrade the vine spirit seed in his hands?

Primarily using the most resilient starlight vines, capable of withstanding the erosion of chaos in the void, he hybridized various high-level vines in his possession.

Thanks to the wondrous effects of the portable space, and after spending countless spirit stones, several hundred years ago, they finally succeeded in cultivating two kinds of Xuanxian-level vine spirit seeds!
Of course, this was done by Qing Si with the Five Elements and a group of demon spirits; he only provided some theories and ideas.

During this period, some celestial-level or low-level spirit seeds were also cultivated, but they had outstanding effects in a certain aspect. Currently, we are still trying to cultivate corresponding high-grade spirit seeds.

One of those two Xuanxian-level spiritual seeds is the Chaos Star Vine, which Li Zhirui is currently using, possessing astonishing defensive power and exceptional resilience.

If the previous Starlight Vines were only as tough as refined iron in terms of defense, then the Chaos Star Vines are like refined steel that has been forged through countless trials!

The defensive strength of the two is vastly different; they are not even in the same league.

Another type of Xuanxian-level spirit vine, after discussion between Qing Si and Wu Xing, was finally named Cai Qing Spirit Vine. Its defensive power is rather average, but it possesses two rather mysterious and strange abilities.

One is its extremely strong concealment. Li Zhirui specifically tested it and found that even when he used all his divine sense, he could not find its trace from a distance of ten feet.

Another is its unique toxicity. The poison of the five elements is ever-renewing and can even absorb the magical power within the poisoned person. Ordinary methods and antidotes not only have no effect on it, but will actually enhance its toxicity!
In other words, once one is poisoned by the Azure Poison, it is very difficult to cure.

It may not be fatal at first, but it will become stronger over time.

As for how powerful it would be, he hadn't tested it, so he didn't know.

Li Zhirui also plans to take some time in the future to study this special toxicity and see if he can use this property in his alchemy.

The Chaos Star Vine's defense, as seen in this battle, is such that even attacks from Xuanxian-level sword cultivators cannot easily sever it.

This level of defense is already quite formidable.

If we stack them up layer by layer, we might be able to withstand the attack of a Golden Immortal.

However, Jiang Bogang, who was the test subject of the Chaos Star Vine, naturally did not look good, and he had a feeling of being embarrassed and angry.

After all, he had previously looked down on these vines, but his attack failed to break them or even cause much damage. He was thoroughly humiliated and had no face left to save.

In an effort to save face, he suddenly became serious and poured more of his magic power into the sword strike.

With a whoosh, a powerful sword aura slashed out and instantly struck the Chaos Star Vine.

But even with his sword strike imbued with rage and using five or six tenths of his strength, he still couldn't break through the vine-covered wall. This wall, less than an inch thick, seemed as solid as a fortress of copper and iron!

Jiang Bogang became increasingly annoyed by this result, but Li Zhirui was quite pleased, because through this test, he roughly knew the defensive strength of the Chaos Star Vine.

If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent should be unable to break through this wall unless they exert their full strength.

"How can mere vines stop me?!"

The series of unexpected events caused Jiang Bogang to become stubborn, focusing only a small portion of his attention on Li Zhirui, while concentrating the rest on dealing with the obstructive gray-green city wall in front of him.

Powerful sword energies crashed against the Chaos Star Vine like waves, relentlessly attacking its weakness by following the wounds it had left behind, attempting to destroy it in this way.

And his strategy did indeed succeed.

A wall made of chaotic star vines collapsed under his relentless attacks.

But the joy on Jiang Bogang's face only lasted for a moment before it disappeared immediately!
Because he discovered that behind this city wall, there was another city wall that looked exactly the same.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the greatest characteristic of a wood element cultivator was their profound magical power and inexhaustible vitality.

And aren't their combat characteristics and advantages precisely their prowess and endurance?
Therefore, we should not waste our energy and time on these inanimate objects, but should deal with the cultivators who are casting spells first!
Therefore, Jiang Bogang refocused his attention on Li Zhirui, intending to use his most powerful killing move to eliminate him as soon as possible, not wanting to waste any more time.

Moreover, he felt somewhat ashamed that he hadn't yet defeated a cultivator whose cultivation level was two minor realms lower than his own and whose cultivation laws were not particularly lethal. When he attacked Li Zhirui again, he saw through the other's intentions and, without the slightest hesitation, directly activated the creation of hundreds or even thousands of Chaos Star Vine spirit seeds.

But this time, instead of transforming into a city wall to prevent the opponent from attacking and purifying the white lotus, it became a cage to trap it inside.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

Jiang Bogang was clearly serious. His eyes were filled with rage as he unleashed sword energy, frantically slashing at the Chaos Star Vine, intending to break free of the cage and defeat Li Zhirui in a short time.

However, Li Zhirui spared no effort, dropping spirit seeds one by one. The opponent might have only severed one star vine, but several more star vines would immediately grow back.

The battle has now entered a critical phase.

Because in another fifteen minutes, the evil place not far away will be completely purified.

If Jiang Bogang had not broken free from the cage and had not defeated Li Zhirui before this, then his mission would have been a complete failure!

Li Zhirui only needs to hold on for a little longer to get rid of his opponent. Then, he can decide whether to leave Yunzhou directly or find another sinister place.

Seeing Jiang Bogang's increasingly impatient movements, it was clear that he had also realized this, and he no longer held back, unleashing his full power.

Under his incredible power, he actually managed to break a hole in the cage in a short period of time!
Although Li Zhirui quickly discovered it and repaired it in time, if he hadn't discovered it immediately, the other party might have really escaped.

The scene just now gave Jiang Bogang hope, and he launched an attack without hesitation. The vine cage quickly began to crumble.

But the price is that the mana in one's body drops rapidly!
"Does Your Excellency intend to compete with me in magical power?" Li Zhirui smiled slightly, took out a top-grade pill and swallowed it. His magical power, which had been mostly depleted, was instantly restored to its full potential.

The name "Xi Ling Bao Dan" means "the complete restoration of magical power in a single breath," and it is one of the most difficult Xuanxian-level pills to refine among the countless pill formulas he currently possesses.

But the results are just as remarkable as the name suggests!
Most importantly, the Supreme Breathing Elixir can be taken three times consecutively, and as long as this number is not exceeded, there will be no side effects!
Thus, under Jiang Bogang's frenzied attacks and Li Zhirui's continuous repairs, the evil land not far away was completely purified.

The next instant, he sensed it.

"Now that this matter is settled, I will no longer accompany you, fellow Daoist, in your self-cultivation."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhirui decisively used his escape technique and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he had never existed.

With no one continuing to repair the cage, and given Jiang Bogang's madness, it couldn't hold him off for long. He broke free in just a short while.

With a loud bang, the Star Vine City Wall behind them was cut in half, revealing the cleansed land and rivers, which had even regained some vitality.

But a hint of disgust involuntarily appeared in Jiang Bogang's eyes.

After embarking on that path of no return, although not as severely as others, he still genuinely disliked this clean environment.

"Ah! After the great calamity is over, I will surely cut you down with my sword!"

Faced with an empty world, he could only roar angrily and unwillingly. A black sword aura descended from the sky and smashed into the purified land, seemingly intending to make it filthy and dirty again in this way.

But what Jiang Bogang didn't expect was that his sword energy seemed to have become a switch. When it landed on the ground, it not only did not contaminate it, but also triggered the backup plan left by Li Zhirui!

boom--

A blinding white light shot into the sky, followed by a deafening explosion. Purifying spiritual light, like dandelion seeds, drifted down in all directions.

After these seeds fall to the ground, they absorb the yin and evil energy from the surrounding area and grow rapidly, turning into delicate white lotuses.

Only after purifying the surrounding area as much as possible did it wither and die.

The massive amount of purifying power wiped away a significant amount of pollution and evil spirits in the vicinity. Although it was still insignificant compared to the entire Yunzhou, this area spanning hundreds of miles became much better.

As for Jiang Bogang, who suffered a huge direct impact, he now looks extremely disheveled. Most importantly, the power of purification has invaded his body!

Although the purifying power is relatively weak and it is like a rootless duckweed, it will not take long to resolve, but it is just right to suppress the evil energy in his body.

The two opposing forces, seemingly irreconcilable, were using his body as a battlefield, constantly fighting and causing him great discomfort.

In addition, Jiang Bogang discovered that there was another special toxin in his body.

It didn't seem like a big threat, but for some reason, he felt a vague unease.

That's right!

This was also a surprise that Li Zhirui had specially left for Jiang Bogang. In the final cage, he had mixed in a few Rainbow Green Spirit Vine plants.

However, Jiang Bogang, in his extreme anger, failed to notice this problem!
Therefore, when the cage was breached, they were unknowingly poisoned by the Rainbow Vine.

If it weren't for this unexpected situation, he wouldn't have been willing to go back after losing face so badly.

Even if others don't mock him, he simply feels too ashamed and doesn't want to face others.

But now, an unknown, special toxin has appeared in his body, and Jiang Bogang can no longer care about his reputation.

Because once they reach the Xuanxian realm, most poisons have no effect on them, as their powerful magic will erase the poisons. However, if they encounter a poison that will take effect, they must not be careless!

Thousands of years ago, there was a famous immortal who was completely oblivious to his own poisoning and eventually died from the deadly poison.

This lesson left a deep impression on all the Xuanxian!
Moreover, the toxins in his body made him feel uneasy and dangerous, so he dared not ignore them.

So Jiang Bogang no longer cared about losing face. For the sake of his own life, he decided to go back and seek help from others to resolve this threat.

But this experience only intensified his hatred for Li Zhirui.

He secretly vowed that after the calamity, no matter the cost, he would kill him to avenge today's humiliation! (End of Chapter)
