Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 169 Shine
On the arena, the black token hanging on Xiao Qiongfeng's waist flashed with light, and then there was a roar from the arena, and a red python appeared behind Xiao Qiongfeng, just appearing. There is an extreme scorching heat on the ring. Even the spectators outside the ring can clearly feel the terrifying scorching heat on the red python that can burn everything.

"Red Fire Spirit Python!"

In just a blink of an eye, Xu Ji recognized the red python that appeared behind Xiao Qiongfeng. It was the Red Spirit Python. Like the blue-feathered golden roc that Xu Ya had obtained, it was a top animal pet, and unlike Xu Ya's The difference between Xiao Qiongfeng's Qingyu Jinpeng is that Xiao Qiongfeng's Red Fire Spirit Python is already considered a mature combat power, and there is even a faint bulge on its forehead.

According to Xu Ji's understanding, if the Red Spirit Python can be cultivated to the golden elixir stage, a single horn will grow on its forehead, and Xiao Qiongfeng's Scarlet Spirit Python already has a faint bulge on its forehead. This means that this red spirit python is at least a monster beast in the late stage of foundation building.

"Yes, Xiao Qiongfeng's Beast Dome is the Red Fierce Spirit Python. Like Xiao Qiongfeng, he has reached the eighth level of foundation building. Xiao Qiongfeng can break through the ninth bridge of foundation building at the eighth level of foundation building and fight on the battlefield outside the territory. One enemy killed three nine-star profound masters three times in a row, and the red spirit python at the eighth level of foundation played a big role." An Ke, who was standing next to Xu Ji, explained to Xu Ji.

"You can actually use animal pets when you break through the ninth foundation bridge?" Xu Ji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that animal pets could be used on the Spirit Refining Bridge, which is used to test combat prowess. Doesn't this really count as cheating?

"Of course you can." An Ke smiled, "Beast pets first need to be tamed by the monks themselves. In addition, they also need to consume a lot of resources to cultivate before they can exert their combat power. Why can't they be regarded as the monk's own combat power? Speaking of beast pets and magic weapons It’s not much of a difference. Since magic weapons can be used on the Spirit Refining Bridge, why can’t beast pets be used?”

Xu Ji nodded clearly. This was indeed the truth. Looking at the dozens of meters long red spirit python behind Xiao Qiongfeng, he couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to train a pet animal to the eighth level of foundation building, other than that, I’m afraid it will consume a lot of resources.”

"Indeed, although having a suitable pet can greatly improve combat power, the resources consumed in cultivating a pet are also an astronomical figure, but this is only the second step." At this point, An Ke sold out. Guanzi looked at Xu Ji and asked, "Xu Ji, you have fought with many people in the Xianling Taoist Temple, but do you know why you rarely see people cultivating animal pets?"

Xu Ji was silent for a moment, thoughts running in his mind. For ordinary people, the reason for not cultivating animal pets is because top animal pets are rare in the Immortal League and there is no way to obtain them. But for students in the Immortal Spirit Taoist Academy, this is obviously not the case. .

An Ke nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, this is exactly the reason. Even if a top animal pet can help in the foundation building stage, it will greatly improve the combat power, but if it affects the breakthrough golden elixir, it is naturally not worth it. Even in the foundation building stage, it is not worth it." So what if I have trained thousands of top beast pets? How can I block the power of Jin Dan’s magical power?”

Xu Ji understood, no wonder An Ke introduced this to him. It turned out that he was here to point out himself. He was worried that he would go astray and insist on sweeping his peers when building the foundation. As a result, he lost the possibility of stepping into the golden elixir, so he borrowed the beast pet. I want to wake myself up.

When An Ke saw Xu Ji nodding, his tone became a little more solemn, and he asked somewhat solemnly: "Since you know these juniors, why are you still obsessed with the fusion of magic techniques and not refining the spiritual roots to condense the Houtian Dao body? Where is the golden elixir avenue?"

Not to mention the family background of the students in the Xianling Taoist Academy, let’s say that their own talents are among the top batch in the Xianling Alliance. Even if the number of top beast pets cultivated by the Xianling Alliance is rare, they can definitely use immortal skills to exchange them if needed. After all, resources themselves tend to favor geniuses and the strong.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and suddenly a flash of inspiration emerged. Xu Ji guessed: "Is it because of the golden elixir? There should be no students in Xianling Taoist Academy who are not going for the golden elixir. If resources are used to cultivate beasts, Naturally, it is better to use it on yourself. On the contrary, it can increase your chances of breaking through the golden elixir."

Xu Ji recalled the horrific scene in Qingyuan City where everyone in the city was imprisoned when Jindan Master came. All of them were killed in a single thought. He couldn't help but nodded and agreed with An Ke's words.

"After the breakthrough to the golden elixir, even the top animal pets will be useless if they cannot break through to the golden elixir. And if you want to cultivate the animal pets to the golden elixir, the resources consumed will probably be an astronomical number, but the breakthrough The golden elixir is extremely dangerous. If the beast fails to break through, it will be all in vain. It is better to use the resources on yourself. "

Xu Ji is clear about his situation. With the help of the spiritual root fusion method obtained by Yuan Ying's authority to open the Yuan, his three spiritual roots of wind, thunder and fire have been successfully fused, and will not become an obstacle to his stepping into the golden elixir. Unable to explain it clearly, I could only smile and say, "Don't worry, Sister An, I know it well."

Seeing that Xu Ji's expression was sincere and not fake, An Ke nodded and felt relieved. He looked at the two people on the stage and said: "With the president taking action this time, Xiao Qiongfeng should not dare to intercept your mission again. And I will probably be busy recuperating from my injuries for a while, so I won’t be able to continue activities in the Taoist temple.”

Although the two people in the ring have not yet fought each other, from An Ke's words, it is not difficult to see that Xu Ji has strong confidence in Hong Tianyuan, otherwise he would not have said that Xiao Qiongfeng will be busy recuperating for a while. It's impossible to move around in the Taoist temple. And hearing what An Ke said, Xu Ji became more and more curious about Hong Tianyuan's strength. He stopped talking and stared at the ring intently, wanting to carefully watch the subsequent fight between the two, hoping to gain some insights into himself. The insights that helped.

The news of the competition between Hong Tianyuan and Xiao Qiongfeng spread, and monks rushed to the Lunfa Hall to witness the battle between the strongest students in the academy. There was even one who was also ranked in the top ten. The ninth-level Foundation Establishment monks also came to the Hall of Discourse, hoping to see through Hong Tianyuan's reality and gain some advantage in the next competition for the Heaven Ranking.

Outside the arena, monks arrived one after another, and above the arena, Xiao Qiongfeng's fighting spirit was also rising. The surging fighting spirit intertwined with the terrifying spiritual pressure of the eighth level of foundation building, crisscrossing the arena like a stormy wave. Above it, he stood with his hands behind his back on the head of a dozens of meters long red spirit python, like a god or a demon.

On the other hand, Hong Tianyuan, who was standing opposite Xiao Qiongfeng, had calmed down like a mortal. However, under Xiao Qiongfeng's terrifying spiritual pressure like a stormy sea, he was not like a boat in the sea that could be easily capsized, but like a rock in the sea. , despite the boundless huge waves, it cannot be shaken at all.

"Hong Tianyuan, since you want to fight, why don't you take action?" Xiao Qiongfeng, who was standing on top of the Red Fire Spirit Python, said loudly. Although the Red Fire Spirit Python arched its neck, Xiao Qiongfeng stood more than ten meters high in the air. But Xiao Qiongfeng's words filled with strong fighting spirit still reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

"If you feel that you are now at your strongest, then you can take action." Hong Tianyuan's tone was calm. If he didn't take action, he was just waiting, waiting for Xiao Qiongfeng to accumulate fighting spirit, waiting for him to reach his peak, and then Qualified to see myself take action.

These somewhat arrogant words seemed extremely normal to the ears of everyone present, because the person who spoke was Hong Tianyuan, the sixth in Xianling Taoist Academy.

"Hahaha!" Xiao Qiongfeng smiled instead of getting angry, and as the laughter reverberated, the strong fighting spirit in him actually became stronger out of thin air, almost seeming to solidify, "Since you are so confident, then Let’s fight!”

As Xiao Qiongfeng's words fell, the Red Spirit Python under his feet let out a low roar, and as the roar sounded, the red scales all over the body of the Scarlet Spirit Python shone like flames, and it was just In the blink of an eye, blazing red flames violently surged out of his body. The terrifying red flames gathered into a huge red fire pillar, soaring straight into the sky. The terrifying heat seemed to distort and collapse the surrounding space. destroy.

"What a terrifying formation." Xu Ji wiped the sweat on his forehead due to this terrifying heat, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. You must know that although he is still at level 11 of the Vientiane Life Skill and has not yet broken through, he has also learned about high temperatures. His extremely strong patience would not affect him at all even if he placed his hands in ordinary flames, but Xiao Qiongfeng's condensed pillar of fire made him sweat a lot even before it came into contact with him.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air outside the ring. With a wave of his hand, the whole ring seemed to be enveloped in a faint light. As this light enveloped the ring, Xu Ji found that he could not feel the redness. The fiery red fire pillar rising from the Fierce Spirit Python's body was blazing.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared outside the ring, Xu Ji guessed its identity in just a split second. He could move through space and suddenly appeared. He was afraid that he was Jin Dan, the real person guarding the Lun Dharma Hall in Xianling Taoist Temple. At this time, he appeared outside the ring and covered the ring with great magic power, probably to prevent the fight between Xiao Qiongfeng and Hong Tianyuan from affecting everyone fighting outside the ring.

"go."

As Xiao Qiongfeng let out a soft cry, the fleshy wings on the back of the red spirit python flapped, and the red pillar of fire rising up from the body came out of the body, with a violent howling sound, and a sky-destroying wave. With the posture of destroying the earth, he swept towards Hong Tianyuan crazily.

Wherever the red fire pillar passed, the special material that seemed to be used to forge the arena was also slightly melted under this terrifying heat. If it was rubbed under this terrifying red fire pillar, it would turn into charcoal, and if it was even more continuous, The charred corpses cannot be left behind, they will only turn into powder all over the sky, leaving no trace at all.

Seeing this terrifying red pillar of fire approaching him, Hong Tianyuan moved.

I heard a clear sword cry, and then I saw the sword light shining in the sky!
