The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 255 Poisonous Scorpion
Except Liu Qingping, Yue Ming and the other three have already reached perfection in Qi Refining.

Moreover, he has already entered the realm of swordsmanship and reached the basic state of unity of body and sword.

Originally, as long as they didn't encounter a second-level monster, they would still have a great chance of winning even if they were surrounded by the group of first-level monsters that Yue Ming encountered before.

But what they didn't expect was that they encountered a second-level monster here!
A monster of this level is comparable to a cultivator at the foundation-building stage.

In the first-level cave world, he is a dominant existence.

Unless a sword master or several first-level swordsmen attack together, there is a chance to kill it.

The strength of their group of four was just that of ordinary sword cultivators at the level of sword soldiers, and they were able to deal with some first-level monsters.

If discovered by a second-level monster, there is no chance of survival!
The roar of the second-level monster continued, making Yue Ming look a little nervous.

He saw that Wu Nan and Tang Cheng looked flustered, as if they wanted to use their spiritual energy to escape, so he quickly said to them in a deep voice: "Don't panic, we are now in a hidden formation, which can conceal our bodies and auras, so perhaps we won't be discovered by this monster!"

The concealment formation that Yue Minggang had set up was purchased at a huge price.

Even for a foundation-building cultivator, it would be difficult to see through it, let alone a mere second-level demon beast.

After Yue Ming's reminder, they both reacted.

Yes, with their speed of escape, if they were discovered by a second-level monster, they would have no way of escaping.

Now that they are in a hidden formation, this may be the only chance of survival given to them by God.

Now he can only hope that this second-level monster escapes as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in trouble.

After hearing the roar of the second-level monster just now, Liu Qingping, who had been closing his eyes and putting his ear on the sand to listen.

At this moment, he suddenly stood up and opened his eyes, his gaze was very bright.

She said to Yue Ming and the other two, "Senior brothers, this second-level monster seems to be fighting with someone!"

Liu Qingping noticed from the beginning that the roar of the second-level monster seemed to be a little strange.

So she closed her eyes, leaned over the sand and listened carefully, hoping to hear more details.

Then I found something was wrong.

The roar of the second-level monster actually contained a hint of pain and fear.

This made her heart suddenly move, and she even thought that she had heard it wrong.

As the roar of this second-level monster got closer and closer, she became more certain of this.

Because from the sound, this second-level monster was fighting fiercely with humans.

"A second-level monster is fighting with someone?"

Yue Ming and the other two were filled with confusion when they heard this.

The Mingsha Cave is filled with yellow sand and the visibility is extremely poor.

Their spiritual thoughts were still very weak and could not probe too far.

There was sandstorm and howling sound for a long time.

If it weren’t for the fact that the voice of the second-level monster was very piercing and contained great majesty.

They had no idea that the second-level monster was nearby.

Even they didn't notice it, so how did Liu Qingping know that a second-level monster was fighting with people?

They remembered how Liu Qingping had listened attentively just now, and after a little thought, they reacted.

He also followed Liu Qingping's example, leaning over the sand and listening carefully in the direction where the monster's voice came from.

They have all reached perfection in Qi refining, their hearing and eyesight are sharp, and their bodies have undergone a transformation.

In terms of hearing, his sense of hearing is more acute than that of Liu Qingping, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

It was just that because of my nervousness just now, I didn't hear the details in the voice of the second-level monster for a moment.

At this moment, he followed Liu Qingping's example and listened carefully, and immediately noticed something unusual.

"It's true! I even heard the sound of a flying sword breaking through the air!"

Wu Nan looked overjoyed. He heard the direction from which the second-level monster's voice came, as well as the rumbling thunder of the flying sword, which was fighting with the second-level monster.

Tang Cheng also showed a look of joy, he also heard this.

And judging from the sound, this second-level monster has already fallen into a disadvantage.

"Could it be that a team of swordsmen has formed to encircle and suppress this second-level monster?"

Tang Cheng couldn't help but ask questions.

"No, I only heard the sound of a flying sword!"

Yue Ming's eyes showed a trace of surprise, and he continued: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a sword candidate, fighting against that second-level monster!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingping and the other two also showed surprise on their faces.

The realm of kendo cannot be achieved by simply spending time on cultivation.

If a disciple does not have enough talent in swordsmanship, it is not surprising that he or she will stop at the basic stage of the unity of body and sword for the rest of his or her life.

A first-level sword candidate is someone who has elevated his sword skills to the perfect unity of body and sword during the Qi training period.

Such talent in swordsmanship can already be called a genius.

After entering the foundation-building stage, one will definitely be able to enter the second stage of swordsmanship and transform sword energy into form.

After forging the golden elixir, the chance of reaching the third level of swordsmanship, the level of sword energy and thunder sound, is also very high.

This is what Qingya Sect asked Wei Xu, the head of Jianfeng Peak.

Now that the sword energy and thunder sound have been mastered to a small extent, the flying sword is as fast as lightning and as loud as thunder.

Just the sound of the sword flying through the sky contains tremendous power.

Their Qingya Sect has not yet produced a first-level sword candidate.

Therefore, the sword master who is currently fighting against the second-level monster should be the talented disciple from other sects in Jiuhua Prefecture.

"I didn't expect that I would happen to encounter a sword master fighting a second-level monster. Why don't we go and see if we can help?"

Yue Ming's eyes flickered and he spoke.

"it is good!"

Liu Qingping and the other two looked excited and responded one after another.

It's not that they have any bad intentions, but they feel that it is rare to encounter such a scene.

The Sword Master is not someone you can easily meet, and now he is fighting against a second-level monster. He will definitely use all his means to display the Sword Master's full strength.

If they could learn one or two points, it would greatly improve their swordsmanship.

That was why they all wanted to go over and take a look.

……

"There is a second-level monster ahead. It's a good opportunity for me to test the power of my Qingming Sword Technique after I complete it."

Li Yan's mind sensed something unusual coming from afar, and his eyes moved slightly.

During the few days he entered the Mingsha Cave, the most common monsters he encountered were the late first-stage monsters, and then the peak first-stage monsters.

He only encountered three second-level monsters, and he killed them all easily.

During this period of time, he also reviewed and practiced the first-level sword techniques selected from the Cangjian Pavilion.

Now he has a deep understanding of the basic sword-fighting concepts in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

Moreover, he was able to use all kinds of sword techniques he had learned with ease, reaching the realm of perfection.

"After a few days of training, I have already reached the threshold of condensing the innate sword energy."

"Next, we just need to kill dozens or hundreds of second-level monsters to condense the innate sword energy."

Li Yan's eyes were calm.

Even if he could condense the innate sword energy now, it would not be a big deal for him.

After all, his realm is incomparable to ordinary people.

If it weren't for the rules of the Taiyi Sword Realm, which required actual combat in order to condense the innate sword energy, he would have already condensed the innate sword energy and entered the foundation-building stage.

"There are still too few foundation-building monsters in this level of cave heaven. It seems that it is time to leave Mingsha Cave Heaven and head to the second level cave heaven."

"Although the second-level cave heaven is somewhat risky for my current strength. But with the Mo Yuan Sword, the risk is still within the controllable range."

"And if this is the case, it won't take me more than a few days to condense the innate sword energy, practice the foundation-building chapter of the Taiyi Sword Classic, and enter the realm of foundation-building." Li Yan has already planned to leave Mingsha Cave Heaven.

He now knew clearly how to condense the innate sword energy.

Although a first-class super cave like Mingsha Cave has second-class monsters, they are weak in strength and few in number.

Li Yan hasn't run into many of them these days.

The only advantage is that it is less dangerous.

But he didn't want to wait too long in Qi training. Now that he knew he needed to kill more second-level monsters before he could advance, his best way was naturally to go to the second-level cave.

The second-level monsters in the second-level cave heaven are not as rare as those in the Mingsha Cave Heaven.

Basically, as long as you walk a certain distance, you will encounter a second-level monster.

It is even possible to encounter a late-stage second-order monster comparable to the late-stage foundation-building stage, or even a peak-stage second-order monster equivalent to a perfect foundation-building stage.

The strength of a monster of this level.

Even if Li Yan encountered this situation now, he would have to retreat without using the Mo Yuan Sword.

He has not yet fully understood the sword rules in the Taiyi Sword Realm, and many of his methods are currently unable to be used.

"Hmm? There is actually a Qi training cultivator fighting against that second-level monster."

Sudden.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

Because when he got closer, he realized that the second-level monster he had just discovered was now fighting with a Qi training disciple.

To be able to have such strength in the Qi training stage, it is obvious that he has already entered the realm of sword candidate, a first-level sword practitioner.

Such Qi-cultivating cultivators are quite rare in Jiuhua Prefecture.

He thought about it and then jumped towards that direction.

After all, it is a second-level monster. Now that he has encountered it, he naturally cannot let it go. He should kill it directly. This can also save him some time to condense the innate sword energy.

……

"Clang!"

A pure white flying sword was flying across the air, madly slashing at a second-level monster that was covered in a withered yellow color.

This is a scorpion monster with a huge body, more than ten feet tall. The tip of the scorpion tail behind it flashes with a cold light, and it spews out a yellow poisonous mist from its mouth.

But that pure white flying sword was a spiritual sword. Under the erosion of the poisonous fog, its speed was only slowed down a bit and it was not affected too much.

"It's the Mingsha Poisonous Scorpion!"

Yue Ming and his four companions had arrived nearby at this moment.

Just as the wind and sand gradually subsided, the four people's vision finally became clear.

From two or three miles away, they saw what kind of monster it was that had frightened the four of them with its roar alone.

This is the most difficult second-level monster among all the second-level monsters in Mingsha Cave.

But at this moment, he was chopped down by a pure white flying sword that was only three feet long and kept fleeing in one direction, roaring in pain from time to time.

The four of them turned and looked at the figure behind the Mingsha Poison Scorpion, who was chasing it with flying swords.

I saw a young woman in her early twenties wearing a white dress, with cinnabar on her eyebrows, skin as white as snow, bright eyes and red lips, and she was stepping on another flying sword, following closely behind.

She glanced and saw Yue Ming and the other three, but didn't care. She glanced past the four of them and continued to chase after the second-level monster.

"Who on earth is this person?"

Yue Ming and the other three felt something suddenly move in their hearts.

Even Liu Qingping was impressed by the appearance of the woman in the white dress.

But at the same time, they were all puzzled.

They had only heard of the several sword candidates from Jiuhua Prefecture but had never met them.

But there shouldn't be any female swordsmen among them.

However, the woman in white dress in front of him was obviously a first-level swordsman.

And among the first-level sword candidates, he should not be a weakling.

At this moment, the Mingsha poisonous scorpion seemed to be exhausted and finally stopped on a sand slope. It turned its head and let out a shrill roar towards the female cultivator, the sound of which could be heard for hundreds of miles.

The pure white flying sword of the female cultivator in white dress flew over quickly. Although the Mingsha Poison Scorpion dodged and its shell had amazing defense, it was still cut by the flying sword and left scars.

"As expected of a Sword Master!"

Yue Ming and the other three were filled with excitement as they watched.

Only a Sword Master could suppress this second-order monster so miserably at the Qi Refining Stage.

But right now.

Sudden.

The white-dressed female cultivator's expression changed, and a withered yellow figure suddenly jumped out from the sand under her feet and pounced towards her.

If she had not been flying with a sword, she would have been hit by the monster under her feet.

She was just about to fly up on her sword.

But then, she saw a tail hook with a faint glow suddenly stabbing towards her.

"Another Mingsha poisonous scorpion!"

Yue Ming and the other three saw it clearly. What broke out of the ground under the feet of the female cultivator in white dress was actually another Mingsha poisonous scorpion.

In this area, there are actually two second-level monsters!
They were startled, but saw that the Mingsha poisonous scorpion that had just stopped also swung its tail, and the tail hook on its tail flew out and stabbed towards the female cultivator in white dress.

"not good!"

Yue Ming and the other three were shocked, they already understood something.

These two Mingsha poisonous scorpions were probably together, so they deliberately led the female cultivator in white dress to the top of the other Mingsha poisonous scorpion's head.

Now that the two Mingsha poisonous scorpions have surrounded her, the female cultivator in white skirt is probably in danger.

"Do I have to use forbidden techniques here?"

The female cultivator in the white dress frowned her beautiful eyes, feeling the danger approaching, and was already prepared to use forbidden techniques to break the impasse.

Although activating the forbidden technique would come at a high price for her, there seemed to be no other way at the moment.

But at this time.

Suddenly, a green sword light flew out from not far away, accompanied by a clear sound.

In the blink of an eye, he pierced the head of the Mingsha poisonous scorpion under the female cultivator's feet.

And the sword light continued to move forward, and in the next moment it directly knocked away the tail hook of another Mingsha poisonous scorpion.

A green light flashed in the air, and the head of the other Mingsha Poison Scorpion was also pierced by the green sword light. Its body fell down, making a roar and raising a pile of sand.

The female cultivator in white dress gave up the idea of activating the forbidden technique, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

She turned her head and looked in the direction where the green sword light came from.

At this moment, Li Yan was wearing the blue and white clothing of an outer disciple of the Qingya Sect. He was standing with his hands behind his back, stepping on a flying sword, and slowly approaching the battlefield.

He looked relaxed and quite satisfied.

He originally thought there was only one second-level monster, but when he got closer, he found another one.

After killing these two second-level monsters, he was one step closer to condensing the innate sword energy.

"Outer disciple?"

Yue Ming, Wu Nan and Tang Cheng also saw Li Yan and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

They originally thought that the visitor was a sword master from one of the other sects in Jiuhua Prefecture.

But when Li Yan showed up, they found out that he was actually a disciple of their Qingya Sect, and it seemed that he was just an outer disciple, which made them a little unbelievable.

"This is... Li Yan!"

Liu Qingping's eyes were also full of confusion. She had known Li Yan before and now she recognized Li Yan's identity immediately.
