On Dazhu Peak, I cultivated myself into a demonic master!

Chapter 13 Soul Refining Banner, Return to the Sect!

"This bone armor, made from ten thousand bloodthirsty bats, is my trump card."

In mid-air, Chen Xiao was tightly enveloped by the enormous blood-red bone armor.

From a distance, it looks like a terrifying blood-skull giant.

Unless someone's cultivation level is significantly higher than his, breaking through this bone armor defense won't be easy.

He is satisfied.

Immediately, with a thought, Chen Xiao caused the bone armor to transform into streaks of light and quickly retract into his body.

The next moment, he lightly tapped his feet and rode his sword at breakneck speed toward the direction of the wild dog's message.

He never expected that the stray dogs would have such a good harvest in just a few months.

On the other side, seeing Chen Xiao, who had transformed into a giant blood skeleton, finally leave, Old Man Nian felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He collapsed to the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

He hadn't felt this kind of tension in a long time.

"That was really close. If a powerful expert had discovered that we were spying, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape," the eldest brother said, still shaken.

The beautiful woman nodded, still looking frightened. "Yes, no wonder the blood aura here is so strong. That blood skeleton was terrifying..."

Only after seeing Chen Xiao leave with their own eyes did the old man and the beautiful woman dare to cautiously approach the cave entrance.

"Be careful, the bats here are extremely terrifying and there are so many of them. If you get bitten, countless bats will swarm you!"

The older man approached while giving the beautiful woman a warning.

It was already evening, and the bats here should have been out foraging for food by then.

"That's not right, why don't these bats come out at night?"

The elderly man and the beautiful woman felt a chill run down their spines once again.

Could it be that the bats in this cave were so frightened by that senior demonic cultivator that they dared not come out?

Moreover, judging from the sound, the number seems to have decreased significantly.

What exactly did that demonic senior do to these bats...?

.........

Chen Xiao flew on his sword for several days and arrived at a city called Jing Lei.

Following his instincts, he quickly found the stray dog ​​in a secluded corner of the city.

Of course, he was still in disguise at this time.

Who knows, I might run into Wild Dogs in the future disguised as Chen Xiao, so it's best not to reveal my identity.

When the wild dog saw Chen Xiao's signature flying sword emitting black smoke, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes.

Seeing Chen Xiao's gaze sweep over him, he quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Master, I have finally found what you asked me to find."

As he spoke, he carefully took out a piece of wood from his bosom, which exuded a cold and eerie aura. It was a thousand-year-old piece of submerged wood.

Chen Xiao was surprised that the stray dog ​​found the wood so quickly, and a hint of delight flashed in his eyes.

Now, we can finally make a rough soul banner.

"Well done."

Chen Xiao nodded and casually tossed a bag to the stray dog.

It contained some cultivation resources that he no longer needed, as a reward for the stray dog.

The threat of death alone will significantly reduce the efficiency of wild dogs in searching for resources.

To get him to willingly help you find things in the long run, you have to give him a hard time and then offer him a sweet treat.

The stray dog ​​took the bag, and upon seeing the resources inside, a gleam of wild joy flashed in its eyes. It immediately knelt down to express its gratitude, "Thank you for your generous gift, Master!"

"You'll definitely get your share of the good stuff in the future."

Chen Xiao said in a low voice.

"Yes!!"

The stray dog ​​excitedly promised, "I will definitely find the remaining items that my master needs as soon as possible!"

"Ah."

Chen Xiao responded and then flew away on his sword in front of the wild dogs.

After winning people's hearts with this move, the stray dogs should work even harder.

But for now, we can ignore him.

The rest of the items are not so easy to find.

Immediately, Chen Xiao found a secluded cave nearby, intending to refine the Soul Banner there. If he succeeded in refining the Soul Banner, it would be another major trump card for him!
Chen Xiao set up layers of restrictions around the entire cave to ensure that no one would disturb it.

He then devoted himself entirely to the refining of the Soul Banner.

Refining the Soul Banner is a long process, and Chen Xiao didn't want to waste materials by making a half-finished product.

Slow work produces fine results.

And so, after three months, the Soul Banner was finally successfully refined.

On the day the Soul Banner was completed, a thick black aura shot into the sky from the cave where Chen Xiao was located.

Fortunately, the cave was secluded enough that no one noticed it.

At this moment, Chen Xiao looked at the soul banner in his hand and was quite satisfied.

"With your current cultivation level, being able to cultivate to this extent is quite good."

His spirit banner was about ten feet long, and its surface was pitch black.

When you wave it gently, a powerful suction force will emerge from the banner.

After carefully putting away the soul banner, Chen Xiao did some calculations.

A year has passed since I came out this time.

Chen Xiao felt it was time to go back.

This is my first time going out to train, and if I don't go back for too long, I'm afraid my master Tian Buyi and my fellow disciples will be very worried.

Furthermore, the time for the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament is also approaching.

Although he himself did not covet any empty fame, he still had to participate for his master's sake.

Chen Xiao then tidied himself up and flew towards Qingyun Dazhu Peak on his sword.

Returning to the back mountain of Dazhu Peak where he often stayed, he immediately saw Tian Ling'er cultivating.

Perhaps sensing Chen Xiao's presence, Tian Ling'er opened her eyes at that moment.

Seeing the figure she had longed for descend from the flying sword, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Xiao!!"

Tian Ling'er flew over and gave Chen Xiao a big hug.

"You're finally back! You went down the mountain to train for over a year! I was so worried about you."

Chen Xiao smiled and patted Tian Ling'er's head. "I've been to quite a few places this year, and they're all pretty far away."

"So it took some time."

"Oh? Then tell your teacher where you went?"

At this moment, Tian Buyi, Su Ru, and the others also arrived at the back mountain with smiles.

They had clearly noticed Chen Xiao's return.

"it is good."

"At first, I went to the city you told me about, Master, and then..."

Chen Xiao recounted his experiences over the past year with a smile.

Of course, he didn't mention a word about Kongsang Mountain.

I only mentioned some unimportant points.

Even so, the audience listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

As the junior disciple, Zhang Xiaofan stood aside listening to Chen Xiao's experiences, his eyes filled with envy.

"Right now, I can't even control objects."

"When will I be able to roam the world with a sword like my seventh senior brother...?"

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, somewhat troubled.

With only a few months left until the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, Chen Xiao didn't plan to go out again.

However, before preparing for the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament, there was one more place he needed to go.

Before Chen Xiao went down the mountain to train, he made a promise to Lu Xueqi that he would often go and instruct her in swordsmanship.

But he was gone for a year, and I still feel a little guilty about it.

Now that I'm back, it's time to keep my promise.

So, after catching up with his master Ling'er and the others, Chen Xiao flew towards Xiaozhu Peak on his sword.
