Cultivation, I have a world of high martial arts

One step, two steps...

Lin Chen stepped forward slowly, getting closer and closer to the village owner.

"Come closer...come closer..."

The leader of Cuidao Lake Village kept praying in his heart, and the self-destruction talisman in his hand became tighter and tighter.

However, Lin Chen stopped and finally stopped ten feet away from the village leader.

The heart of Cuidao Lake Village Master gradually sank.

"You, who are you? No, what kind of monster are you...!"

He also tried to stall for time.

However, Lin Chen directly raised his hand without any ink marks.

"Tu tu tu tu..."

Thousands of bullets poured out, sweeping the village leader's broken body into a sieve.

Before he died, the leader of Cuidao Lake still had regret and fear in his eyes...

His body twitched on the ground a few times, and finally became silent.

"Dead?"

Lin Chen released his spiritual consciousness and could not sense the aura of the leader of Cuidao Lake Village.

But he didn't act rashly. There was no guarantee that the leader of the village didn't have any tricks to fake death.

Then his heart moved slightly, and the demon-killing flying knife came out in response, and slashed towards the corpse of the village leader.

The blade of the sword slashed across, blood splashed everywhere, and the village leader's head rolled off.

Seeing the bodies separated, Lin Chen felt relieved and plundered the storage bag on his body.

Before he could investigate in detail, Lin Chen went to chase the deputy village leader who was building the eighth floor of the foundation.

Lin Chen looked up at the sky and saw that the deputy village leader had escaped hundreds of feet away with a flying sword.

If I don't pursue him, I'm afraid this deputy village leader will really escape.

But Lin Chen didn't panic at all and whispered:

"Oh, this guy runs really fast!"

"Launching the W-17 nano-tracking missile..."

Following Lin Chen's order, a small missile launcher appeared behind the demon armor.

Immediately afterwards, the nano-missile roared out, hitting the deputy village leader hundreds of feet away in less than a second.

The deputy village leader held up his body-protecting essence and tried to resist.

However, in the face of the power of a missile that is enough to blow up a mountain, how can the body-protecting essence of a mere foundation-building monk withstand it?

The deputy village leader's body-protecting essence only lasted less than a breath before it turned into a pool of blood mist under the high temperature and pressure of the missile explosion, and no bones remained.

Lin Chen stopped and watched for a few seconds, then murmured:

"What a pity..."

It's a pity that the storage bag will definitely be damaged under such power.

Otherwise, Lin Chen would save a lot of time and just wash away the land with artillery fire and sink the island...

At this point, none of the foundation-building cultivators in Cuidao Lake Village survived.

The next step was much simpler. The Qi Refining Tribulation cultivators on the island were suppressed by the firepower of the Demon Armor and had almost no power to fight back.

In addition, the two martial arts puppets Long Ba and Feng Jiu were helping.

In less than half an hour, all the Qi Refining Tribulation Cultivators on the island were killed.

The whole process was much simpler than the previous capture of Yudai Village...

After killing the people, Lin Chen walked around the island a few times, scanning with his spiritual consciousness to make sure there were no survivors.

After that, it’s time to count the loot.

The entire Cuidaohu Water Village was repaired by more than three hundred robbers and looted for several years, and the wealth accumulated was considerable.

There are nearly 80,000 spiritual stones alone, and various magic weapons and materials are piled up like mountains.

According to Lin Chen's preliminary estimate, the total value of this batch of materials is probably no less than 300,000 spirit stones.

After cleaning up the battlefield and harvesting, Lin Chen did not stay long and quickly left with his weapon.

After flying hundreds of miles, he took out a few items after making sure no one was chasing him.

A slightly damaged array plate and twelve array flags.

"The island protection formation in Cuidao Lake Water Village... takes into account both the maze formation and the protective formation. It is more advanced than the formation in Yudai Mountain..."

Lin Chen thought silently, this island protection formation is worth at least several spiritual stones, and it cannot be bought easily.

They are all existences that are regarded as foundations by the big forces.

For Lin Chen, it was a good choice whether he brought it to Gaowu World to the research institute to study the formation, or Lin Chen kept it for his own use.

In addition to this formation, Lin Chen also had a fist-sized crystal bead in his hand.

The whole body is round and contains rich water aura.

——Avoid water drops!

"This water repellent bead is not of much help in combat, but it is of great use in deep water..."

Lin Chen carefully put away the water-proof beads.

This water-proof bead is worth a lot of money, and it is also one of the trump cards of the leader of Cuidao Lake Village.

Whether it is Qi refining, foundation building or even a pill-forming monk, one's strength will have some impact under deep water.

The magical effect of this water-repellent bead is that it allows monks to fight underwater without being affected, and it even has a certain protective effect against water spells.

If Lin Chen had been half a step slower and the leader of the village had escaped to the water of Cuidao Lake, he might have been in trouble.

Lin Chen counted the number of spirit stones in his hand.

After destroying Cuidaohu Water Village, the number of spiritual stones in his hands has reached nearly 900,000.

It is only about 100,000 short of the million spirit stones required to advance to the level of swallowing spirit roots.

"Oh, we have to keep working hard. Just in time, there is still the last force of the Tribulation Cultivator..."

Lin Chen raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

The last path of the three-way journey is less than a thousand miles away from here.

Now that he had already taken action, Lin Chen had no intention of delaying.

Before the news of the destruction of Cuidaohu Water Village had spread, Lin Chen planned to strike while the iron was hot and wipe out the last tribulation cultivator along the way.

First, artillery fire washed the ground, and a large fire was added to cover up the traces of the battle in the cottage.

Afterwards, Lin Chen lifted off the demon armor, summoned the flying sword, and rushed in the direction of the final robbery.

…

At the same time, Cuidao Lake Water Village.

Under the traces of the baptism of artillery fire, the ground squirmed for a while, and a disheveled figure emerged from the ground.

"What...what kind of monster is that?"

This person was wearing a scholar's robe, and it was the Jade Belt Scholar.

But at this moment, he was disheveled, covered in filth and dirt, and his hair was scattered behind his head. How could he look like a foundation-building cultivator?

"Are they all...dead?"

The Jade Belt Scholar was still in shock.

He searched the island for a while, and finally confirmed that he was the only living person left on the entire island.

It turned out that since the fall of Yudai Mountain, he had fled all the way here, wanting to join the Cuidao Lake Water Village in order to make a comeback.

After all, he was also a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, and he should have some status in the Cuidao Lake Water Village.

But he never expected that on the first day of his stay, he encountered a black monster attacking the water village.

He didn't know whether it was a puppet or a cultivator.

But he had never seen such a terrifying monster. With his own strength, he destroyed the entire water fort in just one hour.

In his cognition, even a Jindan cultivator couldn't do it, right?

Fortunately, he was not in the hall at that time, but was outside to familiarize himself with the terrain of Cuihu Island.

As soon as the island protection formation was activated, he noticed something was wrong and directly used the earth escape technique to sneak into the ground a hundred feet deep.

Because of this earth escape technique, he could vaguely sense what was happening on the ground even if he was a hundred feet deep underground.

After an hour of fear and trembling, there was gradually no movement on the ground.

But he still didn't dare to come up. After hiding underground for several hours, he barely dared to come up and take a look.

"Monster..."

The jade-belted scholar was still frightened, but he didn't dare to stay for long.

He quickly took out the magic weapon and fled in a certain direction.

"Escape, must escape from this ghost place..."

...

After several hours, Lin Chen arrived at the last stronghold of the robbery cultivators.

He did not rush to act, but observed the strength of the robbery cultivators in this place as before.

Similar to the previous Cuidao Lake Water Village, there were about 300 robbery cultivators in this mountain village.

Even the number of foundation-building robbery cultivators was not as many as Cuidao Lake Water Village.

Although the robbery cultivators in the mountain village were also on guard, it was obvious that they did not know the news of the destruction of Cuidao Lake Water Village and did not activate the mountain protection formation.

Lin Chen even saved the effort of disguise, and directly used the Wood Hiding Technique to hide his own breath, and sneaked into the mountain village under the cover of night.

After putting on the Heavenly Demon Armor, releasing Long Ba and Feng Jiu, and locking the positions of several foundation-building robbery cultivators.

Next, it was a crushing.

With absolute firepower suppression, Lin Chen quickly killed all the foundation-building robbery cultivators.

After that, with the cooperation of two martial arts puppets, Lin Chen wiped out all the Qi-refining robbery cultivators in the mountain village.

Everything happened overnight.

When the sky was dawning, Lin Chen was already counting the supplies in the mountain village.

There were piles of various materials, magic weapons, and 90,000 spiritual stones.

At this point, Lin Chen was close to the million spiritual stones mark.

"Tsk tsk, these robbery cultivators are really rich!"

"What money can you make by robbing casual cultivators? It's better to make more money by poking the robbery cultivators' nests..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

After counting the spoils of war, Lin Chen set a fire and burned the mountain village to ashes, while also covering up the traces of the battle.

As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Chen left the mountain village on his flying sword.

...

After Lin Chen left for a long time, the ground moved somewhere.

The Jade Belt Scholar carefully drilled out from the ground.

Looking at the mountain village burned to ashes by the fire, his eyes were filled with fear.

"How could it be... Could it be that the purpose of that monster is to destroy all the robbery cultivator forces in Yanlai Realm?"

He looked terrified and his body trembled slightly.

After the destruction of Cuidao Lake Water Village, he rushed all the way to this last mountain village to find a place to shelter himself.

But he never expected that he would encounter the black monster again.

Fortunately, he had been hiding underground and was not discovered.

"What should I do... Now I may be the only leader of the robbery cultivators in Yanlai!"

The Jade Belt Scholar suppressed his fear and calmed himself down.

"If I recruit robbery cultivators again, and meet that weirdo... won't I be powerless to fight back?"

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

What kind of robbery cultivator is this?

Let's run away quickly...

During the years of being a robbery cultivator, he also accumulated a lot of spirit stones, enough to cultivate to the perfection of foundation building.

"So, where should I hide?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place... Maybe, I should go back to Yudai City to avoid the limelight first?"

The Jade Belt Scholar murmured.

He also has two houses in Yudai City, which few people know about.

Moreover, there are cultivators and mortals living together in Yudai City, and the population is large and not easy to be discovered...

Thinking of this, he fled in the direction of Yudai City in panic.

...

The next morning, Yudai City.

Lin Chen disguised himself as Han Laoliu and moved to an inn.

He planned to stay in Yudai City for a while.

The remaining gap of one million spirit stones can be earned in Yudai City.

And he needs to earn more spirit stones to supply his own practice.

Nowadays, there are not many places in Yanlai where you can earn spirit stones quickly...

So, in the next few days, Long Ba and Feng Jiu continued to sell pills and magic weapons outside.

Ten days later, he finally collected the mark of one million spirit stones.

After gathering up one million spirit stones, he did not rush to advance to the Spirit-Swallowing Spiritual Root, but waited for a few more days.

Until the return countdown resets...

…

Daxia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.

Lin Chen was alone in a lounge. The spiritual stones around him were piled up like a hill, almost filling half of the room.

"Tsk, tsk, a whole million spiritual stones! They will all be used to advance spiritual roots..."

Lin Chen was still a little heartbroken.

But it was only for a moment...

Lin Chen felt a little hot when he thought about the progress of the second-level swallowing spirit root cultivation.

Without much hesitation, he activated his secret method and began to devour the surrounding spiritual stones.

With a movement in his heart, thousands of spiritual stones turned into precise energy and poured into Lin Chen's spiritual roots.

During this process, Lin Chen's spiritual roots were also quietly evolving.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

By the next morning, the mountains of spiritual stones in the room were no longer there, but instead there were piles of powder.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged, motionless as a mountain, and absorbed the energy of the last several thousand spirit stones...

Finally, the Swallowing Spirit Root completely completed its evolution.

Under Lin Chen's induction, the spiritual energy generated in the spirit gathering array became particularly agile.

He felt it carefully for a long time before opening his eyes.

"Swallowing Spiritual Roots, the second stage...is finally achieved!"

Taking out a pile of spirit stones, Lin Chen practiced for a while to test his current cultivation speed.

Another hour later, Lin Chen happily said:

"The speed of cultivation has increased by about two or three times... My cultivation speed now should be comparable to the best earth spiritual roots, right?"

Lin Chen was in high spirits.

If the True Spiritual Root cultivator is a genius that is unique in a million, then the Earthly Spiritual Root cultivator is truly one in a million!

Such qualifications are not to mention found in Yanlai territory and Changchun gate.

Even the number one sect in Qingzhou, the Taoist sect, can be called a genius.

"According to the current speed of cultivation, it will take at most two months to complete the foundation construction from the eighth level!"

Lin Chen thought silently.

"In addition to the increase in my cultivation speed, the second stage of swallowing spirit roots also gave me a stronger true energy!"

He carefully experienced the changes in the true energy and mana in his Dantian.

Originally, his true energy mana was considered strong, but with the blessing of perfect foundation building, the eight levels of true energy at the foundation building level may be comparable to a perfect foundation building.

"Although the first stage of swallowing spirit roots can also strengthen the true essence, the effect is far from as good as it is now!"

"But the second stage of swallowing spirit roots has at least increased the true energy by 50%, right?"

Lin Chen was restrained, and he could feel that on that flawless foundation-building alchemy platform, the true energy was much richer than before.

"It has not yet reached the total amount of true energy in the fake elixir realm... but it is far beyond the ordinary foundation-building perfection!"

"Perhaps, when the foundation is completed, my true essence will be comparable to that of a monk in the fake alchemy realm?"

Lin Chen speculated for a while.

In the next few days, Lin Chen stayed peacefully in the Martial Arts Palace to practice.

Thousands of new Wuleizi were produced and put into nano bags by Lin Chen.

As the countdown to time travel cleared, Lin Chen successfully returned to the world of immortality.

…

Return to the Jade Belt City Inn.

Lin Chen took inventory of the remaining spirit stones and resources.

"There is no shortage of magic weapons and elixirs...it's just that there is a shortage of spiritual stones again!"

"There are only more than 10,000 pieces left..."

Lin Chen felt a little helpless.

As he reached the second stage of swallowing spiritual roots, his cultivation speed increased several times.

The amount of spiritual stones consumed in daily practice has also reached a terrifying level——

Three hundred spirit stones!

This means that Lin Chen may have to consume tens of thousands of spiritual stones for one month of practice.

These Ten Thousand Spiritual Stones are enough for a pill-forming monk to practice for a year...

"Well, in the final analysis, we still need to earn more spiritual stones."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen had no choice but to stay in Jade Belt City for a while longer.

After finally coming here, I naturally want to squeeze out all the value of this city.

So, for the next half month, Lin Chen stayed in the inn to practice peacefully.

Just send out Long Ba and Feng Jiu to sell elixirs and magic weapons every day.

After half a month, his accumulated spiritual stones finally reached 30,000.

Enough for his practice for the next hundred days.

At the same time, half a month of practice also allowed Lin Chen's cultivation to advance from the eighth level to the ninth level.

One more step forward, the foundation building is complete, and we are ready to prepare the elixir...

"The news of the destruction of the Three-Road Tribulation Cultivator has spread throughout Yanlai City and Dafang City."

"It's time to prepare to return to the sect and do some more trading in the black market and Guangyuan Town..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

As time goes by, the opening of the ancient ruins mentioned by Jiang Liqian is getting closer and closer.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen left the city, summoned the flying sword and prepared to return to Changchun Gate.

After flying for a while, Lin Chen suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking at the familiar mountains and woods around him, he murmured:

"Why does this place look familiar...as if I just walked through it? Am I...lost?"

Lin Chen frowned. He had an excellent memory, and he was not a road fool. With the monk's spiritual sense, he shouldn't have gotten lost anyway.

"Something's wrong, Changchun Gate should be in the south-east direction..."

Lin Chen stayed on the spot for a moment, then re-determined his direction before continuing to fly with his sword.

After another half an hour, Lin Chen felt that he had climbed several mountains and had traveled hundreds of miles.

However, he returned to the place where he was lost before.

"Is it true that I am lost? No... Is this a maze?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes. The feeling of going in circles could only be explained by a maze...

"Is my identity exposed, so I am being targeted? They set up a maze to kill me?"

Lin Chen looked around. In his spiritual sense, there was no cultivator who was spying on me.

So, he tried several more times, made basic marks, and spent several hours.

Until he returned to the mountain, Lin Chen frowned slightly:

"I am afraid that I can't go back to Changchun Gate for the time being..."

"But, the range of this maze is so large? In this case, try another direction..."

Lin Chen turned around and prepared to return to Yudai City first.

However, this time he only flew for a few minutes before he saw Yudai City.

Controlling the flying sword to slowly land, Lin Chen walked into Yudai City.

Looking at the bustling appearance of the city, the passing cultivators, and the mortals who were unaware, Lin Chen was even more surprised and doubtful.

"So, I didn't leave the area of ​​Jade Belt City for the entire day?"
