Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

Although the Black Ice Turtle was huge, its speed was not slow. Every time it took a step, the ground would shake slightly, as if a heavy hammer hit the chest of the two men.

Its shell was covered with ice crystals, and the hexagonal edges exuded a biting chill, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.

"This black ice turtle has extremely strong defense. Ordinary attacks cannot break its shell at all. We must find its weakness."

Zhenhai Zhenjun said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

If it was an ordinary monster, using the previous plan would naturally be feasible!

However, this turtle-like monster was originally known for its defensive power. Coupled with its fourth-order peak cultivation and the thick ice crystals on the surface of its shell, it became even more difficult to deal with.

Zhou Xun nodded, staring at the Black Ice Turtle, and whispered:

"Generally speaking, the weak point of turtle monsters is in their necks. The turtle shell is hard, but the limbs and neck have no protection at all, so their defense is low."

"We have to find a way to hold him back, and then chop off his head with one blow. Only then can we defeat him!"

Zhenhai Zhenjun heard this, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes:

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed very thoughtful. Why don't we show weakness to the enemy first? When he is not paying attention, you can use the lightning chain to bind his head, and then I will cut him down with one strike!"

“In this way, great things can be accomplished!”

The two quickly made a plan.

Then he took Rosemary and walked further away until he led the black ice turtle away to a distance of 600 miles.

The two of them then stopped, hid their bodies, and approached quietly.

Although the Black Ice Turtle was attracted by the medicinal power of rosemary, as a fourth-level upper-grade fierce beast, its perception was still sharp.

When Zhou Xun and Zhenhai Zhenjun approached to a certain distance, the Black Ice Turtle suddenly stopped, raised its head, and stared at the two with its pair of cold eyes.

"Get started!"

Seeing his figure exposed, Zhenhai Zhenjun let out a low shout, and in a flash, he appeared on the side of the Black Ice Turtle in an instant, and the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed at the Black Ice Turtle's forelimbs.

"clang!"

The black ice turtle slightly tilted its head, and the long knife chopped on its shell, making a loud sound like metal collision.

Even the ice crystals on top were not cut off, leaving only a white mark!

"This defense is too abnormal!" Zhenhai Zhenjun was stunned.

You know, he is also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

But when facing this black ice turtle, he couldn't break the defense at all.

"This giant turtle is most likely some kind of alien species!"

The Black Ice Turtle took the blow head-on, let out a low roar, and swung its front legs violently, sweeping towards Zhenhai Zhenjun.

Zhenhai Zhenjun was well prepared and dodged the attack easily with a flash of his body.

At the same time, Zhou Xun also took action. He took out two fourth-level middle-grade talismans with both hands and threw them at the big turtle.

"Earth Transformation!" "Bind"

In an instant, the sea surface suddenly turned into stone, solidifying the Black Ice Turtle. At the same time, countless vines suddenly emerged from the ground and quickly wrapped around the Black Ice Turtle's limbs, trying to bind it tightly.

The Black Ice Turtle roared and struggled violently. The vines broke one after another under its huge force, but Zhou Xun's spell did not stop. More vines emerged from the ground and continued to entangle the Black Ice Turtle.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenhai, take advantage of now!" Zhou Xun said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhenhai Zhenjun's eyes flashed with a fierce look. He appeared above the Black Ice Turtle in a flash, holding the long sword in both hands and suddenly aimed at the Black Ice Turtle's head.

A dazzling golden light burst out from the long sword, and a huge long sword fell from the sky and chopped fiercely at the head of the Black Ice Turtle!

At this moment, the black ice turtle suddenly moved several feet horizontally, and its head instantly avoided the knife light.

"boom!"

The golden blade chopped on its forelimbs, causing a deafening roar, ice crystals splashing everywhere, and most of the huge forelimbs were chopped off in an instant!

The Black Ice Turtle felt the pain, let out an angry roar, and shook its body violently, trying to shake off Zhenhai Zhenjun.

However, Zhenhai Zhenjun was well prepared. He dodged the Black Ice Turtle's counterattack easily with a flash of his body.

At the same time, Zhou Xun attacked again, quickly forming seals with both hands, and thirty-two lightning seeds flew out.

"Thunder chain binding!"

In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thick lightning chains fell from the sky and quickly wrapped around the body of the Black Ice Turtle.

The Yin thunder power on the lightning chain continued to erode the soul of the black ice turtle, making it difficult for it to boost its demonic power.

Then he made hand gestures with both hands, and the magic power poured in like a surging tide.

"go!"

Point towards the big turtle's head.

The golden knife flashed suddenly, mysteriously disappeared from its original spot, and appeared in front of the black ice turtle the next moment.

“Puff!”

The golden knife was as fast as lightning and instantly pierced into the head of the black ice turtle, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

The Black Ice Turtle let out a shrill scream, its huge body trembled suddenly, and then it began to struggle violently.

However, Zhou Xun's lightning chains and vines bound its body tightly, and Zhenhai Zhenjun's golden knife pierced deeply into its neck. The struggle of the Black Ice Turtle seemed futile.

Zhou Xun saw this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Explode!"

In an instant, the lightning chain wrapped around the Black Ice Turtle suddenly burst out with dazzling lightning. The powerful force of lightning instantly invaded the Black Ice Turtle's body, continuously destroying the vitality in its body.

The Black Ice Turtle let out a desperate roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and blood dyed the surrounding ground red.

Zhenhai Zhenjun pulled out the long knife from the head of the black ice turtle, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Finally, we have dealt with this black ice turtle. Its defense is really amazing. If we hadn't worked together, I'm afraid it would be difficult to kill it."

Zhou Xun nodded, a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but more of joy: "The tortoise shell and demon pill of the black ice tortoise are both extremely precious materials. This time the harvest is not small."

Zhenhai Zhenjun smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, according to the previous agreement, the body and spirit of the black ice turtle belong to you, and the demon pill belongs to me. How about it?"

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Of course."

The two of them quickly dealt with the Black Ice Turtle's body, and then rested for a day.

Following the same method, Feng Lei Peng was attracted out again.

As a result, perhaps because Feng Lei Peng possessed the attribute of thunder, Zhou Xun's thunder chain was unable to suppress it.

Then he used the Wind and Thunder Escape Technique and ran away in an instant, disappearing into the turbulent flow of spiritual energy.

"Master Zhou, forget it!"

Looking at Fengleipeng's back, Zhenhai Zhenjun spoke helplessly,

"Let's go directly to the island and pick those spiritual herbs first!"

"Okay, let's go to the island directly. After all, our goal is still those elixirs!" Zhou Xun nodded.

As soon as he stepped onto the island, extremely rich spiritual energy came like a tide. Zhou Xun felt all the pores on his body dilate, and even the magic power in his body seemed to be boiling.

"The spiritual energy on this island is so rich. Even ordinary fourth-grade high-quality spiritual veins can't have such a strong aura!"

Zhenhai Zhenjun waved his sleeves to sweep away the hanging vines, smiled slightly and said:

"This is where spiritual veins converge. There are two fourth-grade high-quality spiritual veins on the island, so the spiritual energy is naturally much denser. It's a pity that it's located in the Kuya Sea, otherwise it would be a great place to practice!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the distance. Zhou Xun's pupils shrank, and thirty-six thunder seeds were quietly floating beside him.

However, they saw a dozen emerald green lizards with their heads sticking out from the ground. There was a third vertical pupil on its forehead, staring at the two of them quietly.

"Close your eyes!" Zhenhai Zhenjun shouted in a low voice, and several sword lights flashed out from his sleeves. The lizard hissed, turned into a residual shadow and disappeared into the ground.

"Three-eyed Soul-Catching Lizard..." Zhenhai Zhenjun's face was solemn.

“Although this beast is only at the third level, when it appears in groups, even Nascent Soul cultivators have to avoid its sharp edge. The greatest ability of its magical power is to deceive people’s minds!”

Zhou Xun nodded. The three ferocious beasts on the island were not intelligent beings, so they were insensitive to the magical powers of these lizards.

The two of them followed the direction in Zhenhai Zhenjun's memory, emitting spiritual consciousness along the way, carefully exploring the scent of spiritual medicine.

After all, in such a precious place, there might be other places with magical medicines!

"Hey, what is that?"

Zhenhai Zhenjun's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and his figure flashed as he drifted towards a valley ahead. Zhou Xun followed him.

In a short while, they arrived at the valley entrance.

Zhenhai Zhenjun flicked his sleeves, causing a strong wind to blow away the thick fog in the valley.

On the cliff, there was a magical herb that was entirely made of jade. Its leaves were arranged in the shape of a Big Dipper, and each leaf vein was flowing with star-like silver light.

"Seven-star grass!"

Zhou Xun's breathing stagnated. This herb is the main ingredient for refining the "Seven Star Pill". Taking it can reshape the meridians and rebuild the foundation.

It is a treasure even in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Zhou Xun had also read about this elixir in an ancient book. Its grade was of the fourth-grade upper grade.

Just as he was about to step forward, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and countless dark green vines coiled around him like poisonous snakes!

Zhenhai Zhenjun flipped his palm and took out a long sword. The sword energy cut the vines into pieces, and a foul-smelling black liquid spurted out from the broken ends, splashing on the rocks and corroding deep pits.

"Soul Devouring Demonic Vine!"

He retreated three feet, the blade light turned into a barrier to protect his body, "This thing feeds on spiritual energy, don't cast spells!"

Zhou Xun understood and retracted all the thunder seeds into his body, then pulled out a mid-grade sword-shaped magic weapon "Benlei Daozhu".

After a little stimulation, it grew to about four feet long, and then it swung and chopped with the strength of its body.

Zhou Xun's Lightning Body Tempering Technique has reached the eleventh level, which is comparable to that of a fourth-level mid-grade monster. His strength is so terrifying, and combined with this long sword,

The vines almost broke at the touch.

The two of them fought and advanced, tearing a gap in the sea of ​​vines and coming to the front of the Seven Star Grass.

Zhou Xun took out the jade knife, put it into the jade box.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenhai, please take out the spiritual medicine first. Once all the herbs are collected, you and I can distribute them together. How do you think?"

"This is a very good idea!"

Then the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, quickly rushed out of the valley.

Those vines seemed to have some restrictions, and once the two men left the valley, they never came out again.

Half a day later, the two came to a circular hill. In the center of the valley stood a three-meter-high stone monument. The inscription on the monument had long been weathered and difficult to read. Only a blood-red mandala carving was vivid.

Behind the ancient monument, five fist-sized red fruits were suspended in the air. Lava seemed to be flowing under the peel, and the steaming heat waves burned and distorted the surrounding space.

"Red Flame Marrow Fruit!" Zhenhai Zhenjun said in surprise.

"It is said that this fruit grows on the earth's fire spirit vein. It takes 500 years to bloom and 500 years to bear fruit. A cultivator who eats it can refine his Nascent Soul, and even..."

He paused, with a frenzy in his eyes.

"There is a chance to awaken fire-type magical powers!"

However, Zhou Xun noticed the pile of white bones under the ancient monument. A skeleton was sitting cross-legged, and its clothes had rotted away.

He bent over to pick up the half-broken jade slip, and his facial expression suddenly changed as his spiritual sense swept over it.

The owner of the jade slip called himself "Master Lihuo". Thousands of years ago, he came here in search of medicine in order to break through to the state of spiritual transformation, but was severely injured by a ferocious beast, and had no choice but to sit and die here!

Zhou Xun swung out a burst of energy, creating a deep pit on the ground, sweeping in all the corpses of 'Lihuo Shangren' and then burying them.

"Rest in peace, Senior Lihuo!"

Perhaps because he was seeking the truth before his death, he did not bring many treasures with him. Even his own magic weapon was probably destroyed in the battle with the ferocious beast.

"Maybe one day, I will end up like this!" Zhenhai Zhenjun looked puzzled and sighed.

Then he looked at the five fruits.

Although these seven Dao fruits are not perfect, how about you and I each take three, and leave the remaining one for the destined person?" He flicked his fingers and cast a spell, and five red fruits fell in response.

Put it in a jade box and keep it safely.

"Let's go. If I remember correctly, the medicinal garden is not far ahead. The 'Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine' is inside!"

Zhenhai Zhenjun pointed forward.

The two continued on their journey. After about an hour, a stretch of broken walls and ruins came into view.

"The medicine garden is in it. When I came here, there were more than a dozen spiritual herbs in it, and the lowest one was of the fourth-grade inferior quality!"

There was a glimmer of excitement in Zhenhai Zhenjun's eyes, and there was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel delighted. There were more than a dozen fourth-tier spiritual medicines, including even rare ones like the Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine. If he could successfully pick them this time, the harvest would be considerable.

The two quickly approached the ruins, and saw a faint trace of colorful mist rising from the ruined buildings.

Obviously there is some spiritual being.

"That's it!"

Zhenhai Zhenjun became excited and rushed over as a shadow. Zhou Xun did the same.

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived at the medicine garden, and saw spiritual energy rising in an area of ​​several thousand feet in radius, covered by thick colorful fog.

"Damn it! The last time I came here, there was still a complete ban. It seems that those three monsters have destroyed it. I don't know how much is left!"

Zhenhai Zhenjun was a little furious, and Zhou Xun's heart tightened.

"Not so unlucky!"

He immediately made hand gestures, and a strong wind arose, slowly blowing away the spiritual mist, revealing the true appearance of the medicine garden.

It was actually a valley covering an area of ​​thousands of feet. At the bottom of the valley grew four or five spiritual medicines of various shapes, each occupying a place, which was extremely extraordinary.

On the hundred-meter-high cliff on one side of the valley, five vines were coiled like dragons. Each vine had five emerald leaves, and the golden spiritual liquid flowing in the veins of the leaves actually condensed into "Tao patterns" in mid-air.

In the center of the vine there is a flower the size of a baby's fist, and its surface is covered with star patterns.

"Five-leaf Spiritual Heart Vine!"
