Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

"Wow!"

A swift falcon flew overhead.

Looking down with sharp eyes, through the gray and yellow mist, he saw a group of wolves with strange shapes and pus-filled bodies running wildly at high speed on the rugged mountain, brown saliva spurting out of their mouths, their mouths wide open with sharp teeth, and they pounced forward suddenly, biting the two people in front of them fiercely.

Then, the wolves that pounced in mid-air, as if they had hit sharp silk threads, all exploded in the air, turning into countless neat pieces of meat, mixed with large amounts of gray-brown blood, and spilled all over the ground.

In the blink of an eye, these monsters that were so difficult to deal with were killed on the spot.

At this moment, the man in black below suddenly raised his head.

The moment their eyes met, the falcon's eyes trembled violently, and its wings flapped wildly, flying forward at a high speed.

"Is there anything in the sky?"

Ning Yan asked curiously.

"nothing."

Guan Ruoyu retracted her gaze, looked at the countless smelly corpses in front of her, and said calmly:
"Since the Rotten Bone Wolves have appeared, it means we have penetrated quite a distance. The medicine garden should be not far ahead."

The medicine garden is very important as the place where the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect cultivates various medicinal plants. Specifically speaking, from the location point of view, it almost spans the entire sect along the Huangquan Road.

However, after the destruction of the Shenluo Wanxiang Sect, nearly half of such an important medicine garden was completely destroyed, and the remaining part was searched repeatedly by various sects and even powerful people. To this day, the remaining scale may be less than one-tenth of the original size, and is mainly concentrated in a small area near the outskirts of the ruins.

However, these ordinary medicinal plants that are looked down upon by top powerhouses and even disciples of large sects are invaluable precious medicines to the three sects and four schools of Fulong City and even the numerous independent cultivators in the city.

However, it is not easy to pick suitable medicinal plants from them.

Although this remaining medicine garden is close to the periphery, it should actually be considered the middle zone of the ruins. The danger of this area has exceeded the capabilities of many violent warriors. Even if they enter the realm of strength, they can die on the spot if they are not careful.

If a martial artist at the advanced level encountered a pack of wolves like the one that Guan Ruoyu had easily defeated before and got caught in a fight, he might die on the spot.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the rotten bone wolves are so powerful. It's simply that the toxins in their bodies are too fierce. If they accumulate too much, even the strength will be unable to withstand it.

However, after this terrifying pack of wolves encountered Guan Ruoyu, they couldn’t even get within ten feet of her.

The gap between ordinary Ru Jin and her strength is really too huge.

Passing by the remaining corpses and looking at the neatly cut wounds, Ning Yan couldn't help but ask:

"When I saw you killing those wolves before, I was wondering how you made them all die suddenly when they were only ten feet away? I didn't see you use any spiritual weapons or secret treasures."

"Of course, you don't need weapons to deal with these little things. This is just a simple application of strength."

"The use of strength?"

Guan Ruoyu glanced at him and replied patiently:

"Since you have already entered the realm of strength, you should also know the difference between the three realms.

Converting all the vital energy in the body into strength is called entering the state of strength.

And further refining the powerful strength in the body into silk is called silk power.

Then, the silk power is ever-changing and not restricted by form. This is the transformation power.

Although these three realms all belong to the second realm, there is still a considerable gap in strength due to the difference in strength.

The most obvious point is the way of application. When a Silk Force warrior casually punches on the body, the terrifying corrosiveness of the force cannot be resisted by ordinary force. Even if it cannot be eliminated, the tendons, veins and bones will be instantly torn into pieces.

But when it comes to Hua Jin, it becomes different. At this level, the control over strength has reached a level that is unimaginable for ordinary people. One can easily inject strength into the body of Si Jin, and the Si Jin may not even be able to sense it.

And the most crucial thing is that the power of Hua Jin is so pure and powerful that it can often linger for a very long time.

For example, if you are hit by his palm, he can detonate the power in your body a year later and injure you severely or even kill you on the spot."

Ning Yan listened and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

He knew that there was also a huge gap between the three realms of strength, but a lot of information about this aspect was vague, as if deliberately not letting the lower levels know. Now that he had heard the relevant content from Guan Ruoyu, he suddenly felt as if a layer of fog had been cleared before his eyes.

Countless wonderful ideas surged in his mind, but because he had not yet reached the level of strength, it was difficult to produce any results.

However, now that he has understood the changes in strength and the subsequent promotion status, the speed of practicing the entire strength stage may be faster than expected. It is possible that the time it takes for him to be promoted to the third level will be shorter than the time it takes for him to practice from zero to enter the strength stage.

"Killing those rotten bone wolves earlier was a special use of strength."

Guan Ruoyu said slowly:

"The power is released from the body and transformed into a thread, as sharp as a sword. Although it only lasts a short time, it is more than enough to kill those rotten bone wolves."

Ning Yan listened and said in surprise:
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be an ability that only Hua Jin warriors have, right?"

"You are right. This is indeed an ability that only Hua Jin can possess. For a Si Jin warrior, even if he can release his strength, he can't release it that far. Normally, ten feet is the maximum. Only Hua Jin can increase this distance several times."

Guan Ruoyu's lips curled up slightly:
“Although I am at the peak of Silk Power, I have also experienced training in the Absolute Domain battlefield, so naturally I have gained a lot.

Even if I wanted to, it would be easy for me to break through to the state of Hua Jin now.

But now is the time to lay the foundation, so in order to break through the third realm more smoothly, there is no need to be so anxious for the time being."

Ning Yan nodded as if he understood something.

Afterwards, he asked Guan Ruoyu many questions related to cultivation and even promotion.

The two walked forward and talked as they went, and any monsters and evil spirits they encountered on the road were all killed by Guan Ruoyu with ease.

As we were about to reach the medicine garden, we heard a faint cry for help nearby:
"help me……"

"help me……"

"I'm willing to do anything for you..."

At first glance, I saw several warriors trapped in dark green thorns. They were breathing weakly, covered with wounds, and could die at any time.

Judging from their clothes, these people are all disciples of Qianyan Sect.

Seeing Ning Yan looking over, the warrior with messy hair in the middle said quickly:
"I am Duan Ning, a true disciple of Qianyan Sect. I am now trapped here and unable to move. I beg you two brothers to lend me a hand and pull me out. I will definitely reward you generously after returning to the sect!"

After hearing this, Ning Yan sighed and said:

"It's normal to be afraid of death, but it's wrong for you to be afraid of death and want to harm others. Yang Yanlong and Shan Xiaoren from your Qianyan Sect are obviously good people, so why do they have a junior brother like you?"

"What do you mean by that?!"

Ning Yan didn't waste any words and threw out a flying knife.

For this trip, he brought a lot of throwing knives to serve as hidden weapons.

After simulating strength with vital energy, the flying knife flew forward quickly under the infusion of strength.

Just when it was about to pierce through Duan Ning, it was suddenly blocked by the surrounding thorns.

At the same time, the thorns were rushing towards this side frantically at a terrifying speed.

However, before they could get close, they rushed into an invisible knife net and instantly turned into countless broken branches. After falling to the ground, those branches continued to twist, revealing amazing vitality.

"Junior Brother Su, you must aim at me and hit me."

Guan Ruoyu laughed and dealt with the thorns casually.

Ning Yan rolled his eyes secretly. Of course I know that there is something wrong with that thorn, but if I fight with it, won’t my realm be exposed immediately?

Soon, all the evil creatures, including Duan Ning and others, were completely crushed.

Just as Ning Yan had guessed beforehand, Duan Ning and the others were accidentally attacked by the thorns. In order to save their lives, they surrendered to the other side and acted as bait to lure outsiders to come closer and become the prey of the thorns.

He thought that as long as someone could replace their prey identities, or help Thorn catch enough prey, they could escape from here.

But what he never expected was that there was no option to escape from the beginning.

Because after being eaten, all of them had their bodies pierced by thorns. In a sense, they all relied on these thorns to survive. Once they were separated from the thorns, they would die immediately. Even if they didn't, they wouldn't live for too long.

The dry bones buried underground have revealed their fate.

Looking at those roots that were howling and completely chopped off, Guan Ruoyu narrowed her eyes slightly:
"To be honest, these puppet thorns are nothing. The real danger is the simulacrum magic vine. If I remember correctly, there should be some growing nearby."

As she spoke she walked towards the tangled weeds.

All of a sudden, there was a rustling sound in the grass, as if countless living creatures were rushing away into the distance.

"Forget it. I don't have time to bother with these guys. The medicine garden is in front of us. Let's go in."

Guan Ruoyu took the lead and walked forward, and soon disappeared with Ning Yan in the complex terrain of the medicine garden.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wei Daoqi, Wu Xuantian and Zhu Kexin arrived nearby in a miserable state.

The three men had traces of fighting all over their bodies.

Zhu Kexin was the weakest, but in the best condition. Apart from his face turning pale due to excessive energy consumption, he didn't even have any wounds on his body.

Wu Xuantian, who was standing next to him, had dirty clothes, and some of them were even scratched, but they were just minor injuries.

On the other hand, Wei Daoqi was in a miserable state. His left arm was nearly broken and his face was dark blue. He was drinking a bottle of detoxifier at the moment. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blue-gray venom as soon as he drank it all, which directly corroded a hole in the ground.

"Brother Wei, are you okay?"

Zhu Kexin asked with concern.

"It's okay, of course it's okay."

Wei Daoqi laughed and replied through gritted teeth.

According to the original plan, Ning Yan and Guan Ruoyu would walk together, and he would protect Wu Xuantian and Zhu Kexin, hanging behind Ning Yan and the others, so that if anything happened over there, they could get there in time.

But I never expected that the place I was going to was so dangerous.

The most important thing is that whenever they encountered any monsters or evil spirits along the way, as the strongest among the three, he was often the first to be attacked and besieged by the other side, so that he alone borne most of the damage along the way.

Wei Daoqi wanted to speak and stop several times, but when he thought about the possibility that Ning Yan's identity might be discovered and he would be implicated, as well as the special authority of Ning Yan's Red Gold Order, he followed all the way here in a very conflicted mentality.

By now, the huge sunk costs have made it almost impossible for him to turn back.

"No, we can't keep following like this."

"Guan Ruoyu is too strong. There are many places she can go that I can't go to."

"Since that guy is taking Ning Yan with him, he will at least protect her safety. Who the hell can I find to protect her here?"

Wei Daoqi made up his mind and prepared to find an excuse to stop.

Then he saw Ning Yan walking out from the bushes in front.

When the two sides met, they were both stunned.

Ning Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said:
"Finally I found you. It's worth it that I left so many marks on the road."

"Where's Guan Ruoyu?"

Wei Daoqi asked.

"She went to the medicine garden, which was too dangerous, so she asked me to stay outside. I thought it wasn't very safe outside either, so I came back to find you. It's much safer to be together than to be alone."

"That's right."

Wei Daoqi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again:
"Then what happens next?"

"Let's go back to the base outside the medicine garden first. When Guan Ruoyu comes out, we can tell her that we met by chance in this ruins. I don't think she will doubt it. When I came here before, I accidentally discovered that there seemed to be a purple night cloud flower growing nearby."

"Purple Night Cloud Flower? But is it the Purple Night Cloud Flower that produces the Purple Night Cloud Liquid?"

Wei Daoqi's breathing became rapid.

Ning Yan nodded.

"Quick! Take me there!"

Wei Daoqi urged hurriedly.

Ning Yan immediately led everyone all the way to the weeds on the southwest side.

After a while.

Pei Bu Rang, who was in a state of panic, also caught up with him.

He looked at the Track-Seeking Butterfly in his hand that was spinning back and forth like a headless fly, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

They hurried all the way, wasting almost no time, but still failed to catch up with Ning Yan and the others, let alone set a trap to catch them all.

The speed at which these people were moving was simply outrageous.

What gave him the most headache was that the entire area nearby was growing many strange plants, and the smell was extremely mixed, so that even the tracking butterfly could not track the whereabouts of Ning Yan and others.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"How can they run so fast?!"

Pei Burang squeezed out countless juices from the Tracking Butterfly in his hand. He felt angry and confused.

Before he could find the answer, several familiar figures appeared deep in the grass as the breeze blew.

Pei Burang's eyes lit up, and he quickly chased in the northwest direction. (End of this chapter)
