Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 763: Strange Canyon, Massive Blood Demon Crystals!

(Happy New Year!)

Two days later, the three finally walked out of the desert.
A huge canyon suddenly appeared before my eyes.

This canyon is like a natural chasm, dividing the entire world into two.

Looking to the left and right, you can see as far as the eye can see. The entire canyon is connected to the horizon. I don’t know how far it extends.

The front is filled with clouds and mist, a sea of ​​clouds, with some scattered rock peaks exposed. There are rugged rocks on it, and occasionally there are some vigorous old trees growing there.

Sometimes a big bird would break through the sea of ​​clouds, soar upwards, spread its wings and fly high, stirring up the churning sea of ​​clouds. Then a clear cry would pierce the sky, and it would reach the ears like heavenly music.

What a fairy scene!
Everyone was stunned, and for a moment they seemed to have forgotten their purpose.

Zhou Xun murmured to himself:
"The sea of ​​clouds hates the sky for being so low, and the flying rocs are trying to compete for height. I never thought there would be such a scene here!"

However, the only puzzling thing is that there seems to be a faint hint of blood in these clouds, which is a bit weird.

Then Zhou Xun took out the "Small Bu Tian Compass" again and took a look. The arrow pointed to the canyon in front of him.
So Zhou Xun slowly opened his mouth:
"Next we need to go down to the bottom of the canyon. Be prepared for defense and follow me."

Then he slapped his hand to his waist, took out a fourth-level medium-grade defensive talisman, activated it, and it turned into a golden translucent light shield, wrapping Zhou Xun inside.
As for Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia, they each activated a defensive light shield.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhou Xun nodded and waved his hand.

"set off!"

As he said this, he leaped into the canyon, his body was lost in the clouds and mist, and suddenly his figure disappeared from view.

Once he entered the clouds and mist, Zhou Xun only felt a vast expanse of white in front of him, and could only see a dozen feet away.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he could only detect a distance of more than 300 feet.
"This cloud and fog is very strange. It has the ability to suppress spiritual consciousness. Even if I was in the ghost fog back then, I couldn't compare to it!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun opened his mouth and nine purple spiritual lights flew out, transforming into nine lightning shields about the size of ten feet, blocking in front of him.

It started spinning.

After all, in such an environment, if a monster attacks, there will be no time to activate the defensive magic.
Therefore, it is particularly important to activate defense in advance.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly took out two fourth-level low-grade defensive talismans from his storage bag, activated them and stuck them on his body.

Two light blue translucent light shields surrounded the lightning shield.
After four layers of defense, Zhou Xun finally felt relieved and focused his mind on the environment in front of him.

The further down you go, the lower the visibility becomes. It must be because the thick clouds and fog block the light. I wonder if it will be like night when you reach the bottom of the canyon.

But the good news is that the concentration of spiritual energy is getting higher and higher as you go down. At this time, it is only a thousand feet down, and the concentration of spiritual energy is already more than 50% higher than at the top.

Judging from this, the spiritual energy at the bottom of the canyon must be incredibly dense. In such an environment, the probability of growing rare spiritual medicines is also greater, and of course, there will be more powerful monsters.

When it descended to four thousand feet,

suddenly--

Suddenly, there was a wave of spiritual power coming from the front.
Then, a sharp claw broke through the thick fog and appeared in front of Zhou Xun.
The claw was extremely large, several dozen feet in size, and completely red in color, with a strange black pattern carved on it.

From this, it can be guessed that the monster is at least several hundred feet in size.

With a "bang", the giant claw grabbed the outermost layer of purple thunder shield, and with just one move, it destroyed the seven layers of thunder shields!

Then it flashed by again and disappeared into the thick fog.

"At least it's in the fourth rank, mid-level!"

Zhou Xun snorted coldly. Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia also prepared themselves, ready to use their magical powers when the eagle appeared again.
Perhaps because of the failure of the previous attack, the monster never appeared again.

"Let's stop!"

After walking down for another five thousand feet, a protruding platform appeared on the stone wall in front of them. It was more than thirty feet in size and provided a good place for everyone to rest.

After landing on the platform, Zhou Xun waved his hand and set up a fourth-level low-grade restriction.

"Let's take a break here first!"

As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to meditate and regulate his breath.

At the same time, he sent a message to the two beasts:

"Xiao Jia, you must be ready to use 'Thousand Layers of Mysterious Light' to delay the movement of the monster at any time. Xiao Jia, you and I will attack together and we must keep him here!"

"Yes, Master!"

The two beasts responded,
Only then did they realize that Zhou Xun stayed here just to set a trap and lure the monster into it.

So they all sat down cross-legged and pretended to recover their demonic power.

About half an hour passed, and the surroundings were still quiet and silent, with only the clouds and mist gently moving in the breeze.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia seemed to be closing their eyes to recover their magic power, but they were actually secretly alert, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Zhou Xun seemed to be meditating and regulating his breathing, but his consciousness spread out like thin threads, alert to every move around him.

Suddenly, a subtle fluctuation of spiritual power came from under the platform. Zhou Xun's heart trembled. He opened his eyes slightly and sent a secret signal to Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia.

The two beasts understood instantly, and on the surface they were still maintaining a recovery state, but in fact they were secretly gathering demonic power.

Then, a huge red claw poked out from the clouds, followed by another one. The two claws were several hundred feet apart.

When its entire body appeared, Zhou Xun finally saw its complete appearance.

It was a strange bird with blood-red body and black lines carved on its surface. It was over five hundred feet long.

His eyes were like scarlet lanterns, emitting a bloodthirsty light, and every feather on his body was like a sharp blade, flashing a metallic luster.

The eagle was obviously very dissatisfied with the territory Zhou Xun and others had entered. It let out a deafening cry, which contained a powerful sonic attack, sweeping towards the three people on the platform.

Zhou Xun quickly formed seals with his hands, and the spell changed. A layer of blue-purple shield instantly condensed in front of him, blocking the sound waves outside.
Seeing this demon bird appear, the black-armored armadillo's body glowed faintly, followed by a layer of light that changed color.

Envelop this demon bird,

moment,

The demon bird's body sank downwards, and an invisible gravity pressed down on him, slowing down his movements by several times.
As for Xiao Jin, the light suddenly changed and turned into a blue-gold dragon over 600 feet long.
"Roar!"

It let out a roar, and then turned into a golden afterimage, rushing in front of the demon bird, and waving its claws, as if it was going to cut off its head.

At this moment, something strange happened.

A huge claw suddenly appeared on the side of the Azure Gold Dragon and grabbed towards his waist and abdomen.
It was another demon bird.
It turns out that he exists in pairs.

With two fourth-order mid-grade peak demon birds and the advantage of terrain, it is no wonder that they caused some trouble to Zhou Xun.

"Ding!"

The next moment, the giant claws of another demon bird fiercely grabbed the blue-gold dragon, making a crisp metallic sound.
The aftermath of the collision blew away the surrounding clouds and mist for hundreds of feet, creating a gap.

It was Xiao Jin's 'Mysterious Gold Body' magical power.
Once it was used, his entire body seemed to become several times stronger. Even a demon bird in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul would find it difficult to break his body.

It was the magical power that was awakened when he broke through to the fourth level that year. It was extremely extraordinary.

Xiao Jin was aroused by this grab, and the dragon's tail lashed backwards like a whip. This lash was accompanied by a whistling wind, and the air was torn into a visible distortion.

The newly appeared demon bird obviously did not expect Xiao Jin to react so quickly. It was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the side by the dragon's tail.

The demon bird let out a cry of pain, and its body was whipped sideways for several feet. The black lines on its body flickered and dimmed a little.
Seeing this opportunity, Zhou Xun pointed the lightning sword in his hand at it.
"go with!"

The Black Thunder Sword shot out like a purple dragon, and in an instant it was more than ten feet in front of the demon bird.

The demon bird sensed this and flapped its wings desperately, trying to escape.

But at such a close distance, how could Zhou Xun give him a chance to escape?
The lightning sword circled lightly around the monster bird's head, and the head, which was several dozen feet in size, fell down with a bang.
Then a green light flashed and turned into thin metal filaments, wrapping and controlling his hundreds of feet tall demon body layer by layer.

Seeing this, the other demon bird flapped its wings desperately, trying to escape.

After all, his companions were already dead, and if he stayed, he would naturally suffer the same fate.
at this time,

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded, and a purple afterimage about ten feet long passed through its head.

The once arrogant demon bird is dead!

Then it was slowly lifted up by the black-armored armadillo and suspended around the platform.
When advancing, Xiaojia stretched out his claws and stabbed them directly into the chest and abdomen of the monster bird's corpse. When he came out, there was a blood-red crystal the size of a baby's head in his palm.
"Master, look!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jia placed the crystal in front of Zhou Xun.

"This is this"

"Blood Demon Crystal!"

Zhou Xun looked at the blood-red, translucent ruby-like crystal, sensing a very familiar aura from it.
How could he not recognize that this was a fourth-level, mid-quality Blood Demon Crystal?

Then he turned his gaze to the Azure Gold Dragon beside him.

So Xiao Jin did the same thing and took out an identical crystal from the chest and abdomen of another demon bird, but there was only a slight difference in size.

"Could it be that the one who attacked us just now was not some demon beast, but the Blood Demon General?"

“But they are obviously demonic birds, and the blood demon that I refined, although slightly different in size, already has the appearance of a human!”

"Could it be possible that the corpse of a demon beast could also be refined into a blood demon?"

Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel shocked by his own guess.
But it is also true that since the corpses of human cultivators can be used as materials for refining blood demons, why can't the corpses of demon beasts be used?
Not to mention, their physique is even stronger.

At the same time, he had some guesses about the owner of the ruins.
It must be closely related to his "Blood Yin Sutra"!
“I hope the next trip can confirm my guess!”

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun slapped the blood demon bag on his waist, and five rays of light flew out, transforming into five tall blood demon generals.

It was Jiayi and Jiawu.

As soon as they came out, they showed great joy, and even a sense of happiness came out.

On the other hand, their state is also extremely comfortable, as if they are like fish in water!
Seeing this, Zhou Xun took out the two blood magic crystals he had just taken.

Sensing this unique breath, Jiayi and Jiawu instantly became excited, and a sense of desire came over them.

Then Zhou Xun threw two blood magic crystals over. Now they are at the fourth level,

These two blood demon crystals can just speed up their evolution.

If they could be promoted to the fourth-level intermediate grade, they would definitely have an extra killer weapon in their hands.

He took A1 and A5 back into the blood demon bag,

Looking at the endless clouds ahead, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
"If we can kill more 'Blood Demon Beasts', I'm afraid that Jiayi and the others will have enough Blood Demon Crystals to advance to the fourth-grade upper grade!"

"Let's go on," Zhou Xun sent a message to Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia. The two beasts understood what Jia Yi and the others had done.
The two beasts already knew Zhou Xun's plan.

Naturally, it is to hunt down the 'blood demon beast' and obtain the blood demon crystal.

Xiao Jin transformed into human form again and followed Zhou Xun closely with Xiao Jia.

The three of them continued to descend cautiously. As the altitude decreased, the rich spiritual energy became more mellow.
It's as if it has materialized. With just a light breath, you can feel the spiritual energy flowing happily in your body.

However, the surrounding clouds became thicker, visibility dropped to less than ten feet, and the detection range of spiritual sense was compressed to about two hundred feet.

After descending another two thousand feet, Zhou Xun keenly noticed that the spiritual energy fluctuations around him became abnormally chaotic. He was delighted and signaled Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia to prepare for battle.

At this moment, a low roar came from below, the voice was full of ferocity and bloodthirstiness.

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic monster slowly emerged from the clouds.

This creature was shaped like a Qilin, with strange black flames burning all over its body. Its scales glowed with a cold light, and each scale was as big as a millstone.

Its eyes were like two balls of blood-red flames, emitting a chilling light, and its four thick legs were like huge stone pillars, making dull sounds when they stepped on the air.

"Great, great, another fourth-grade mid-quality blood demon crystal!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jia activated the Thousand Layers of Mysterious Light, and a yellow light enveloped him, causing his body to slow down by several degrees in an instant.
Then, Xiao Jin showed his original form and fought with the blood demon beast.
While they were fighting, Zhou Xun's 'Equal Mang' Lightning Spear was instantly activated, piercing through its head, and another fourth-level middle-grade blood demon crystal was obtained.

Zhou Xun spent the rest of the time hunting blood monsters.
After four full days, the two finally reached the bottom of the canyon.

By this time, the number of fourth-order blood demon beasts they had hunted had reached fourteen, including one of the fourth-order top-grade level.

"finally reached!"

Looking at the large group of buildings in front of him, Zhou Xun's eyes were puzzled. At this time, there were strange movements in his blood magic bag.
Those blood demon generals actually showed expressions of desire and fear.
