Chapter 705: Fourth-tier body refining is nothing more than this; Southern Border Gu cultivators hide their heads and show their tail

What the abrupt arrival of the two guardians meant, Tao Wan knew better than anyone.

She spread her spiritual sense, searching around.

Soon, two figures appeared in her perception.

"They really came."

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two figures appeared within the field of vision from far to near.

Before they arrived, a sweet and greasy female voice came over.

"True Person, where are those two phantom beasts?"

The black-robed cultivator, who was locking onto Luo Chen with his spiritual sense, said in a hoarse voice at this moment: "They have already been killed, and the phantom cores have also fallen into this person's hands."

The woman was stunned and said in a lost voice: "So fast? How short a time has it been, and those are two fourth-tier phantom beasts!"

The black-robed cultivator hadn't had time to answer.

Tao Wan had already opened her mouth: "Xiao Xu!"

Yu Xu naturally had already recognized her when Tao Wan released her spiritual sense, and at this moment nodded, still with a look of shock in her eyes.

They discovered those two phantom beasts not long ago, and chased them all the way, and not much time had passed.

And now, the phantom beasts were nowhere to be seen!

"Two fourth-tier phantom beasts, were they really killed by him alone in such a short time?"

True Person Tianshan, shrouded in a black robe, said indifferently: "He used the special terrain here and set up a large array targeting phantom beasts in advance; it is not strange that the phantom beasts fell into the net and were defeated in an instant."

Although the tone was light, the wariness was undisguised.

Yu Xu frowned and looked around; there were indeed signs of the existence of an array.

But the most important thing was still that person!

Tao Wan's guardian—Wild Wanderer!

Tao Wan was now restless and looked at another person, wearing white gorgeous clothes, dotted with golden silk cloud patterns, face like a crown of jade, arrogant and aggressive.

"Junior Brother Xiang Qi."

This noble person was the pride of the Xiang family, the head of the thirty-six noble families in the Central Plains—Xiang Qi!

Xiang Qi glanced at her, only nodded to signal, and then asked the big monk: "Master, do you have the confidence to defeat this person?"

"Amitabha!"

The Angry-Eyed Vajra chanted a Buddha name in a rough voice, then said in a deep voice:

"Defeating him is not difficult, but to leave this donor behind, this seat fears it is beyond my reach."

Xiang Qi couldn't help but raise his brows.

His gaze kept shifting on the middle-aged man with gray-white hair and eyes that saw through the world, who was standing on the plain.

North Sea loose cultivator, Wild Wanderer!

The most mysterious one among the thirteen guardians, whose mystery was even greater than that of True Person Tianshan from the Southern Border. After all, True Person Tianshan's background could be traced, but this person's rise was too short, and there was no way to collect relevant information.

Now that he could make the powerful Angry-Eyed Vajra have no confidence to leave him behind, it could be seen that his strength was extraordinary.

Defeating him had no meaning!

Leaving him behind didn't matter either.

What he wanted was to capture him!

"Yu Xu, how about our two sides join forces to capture the Wild Wanderer?"

Yu Xu seemed to have expected it, swept her gaze over Tao Wan, then smiled lightly: "Two phantom cores, one for each person?"

"No!"

Xiang Qi raised his mouth slightly.

"The phantom cores are all yours."

Yu Xu was startled.

"The phantom cores are yours, but the Heavenly Opportunity Pill on the Wild Wanderer must belong to me!" Xiang Qi said so.

So that's it!

Yu Xu suddenly realized that Xiang Qi was planning to use the Heavenly Opportunity Pill on the Wild Wanderer!

Outsiders didn't know about this pill, but her Yu family was an alchemy family and knew a lot about it.

It was a fourth-tier pill improved by the Alchemy Saint after studying a precious remnant prescription of the Profound Heaven Sect, and it had a miraculous effect on Nascent Soul True Persons.

It is said that those with outstanding aptitude have a ten percent chance of comprehending the true meaning of the Dao after taking it.

Even some Soul Transformation ancestors thirsted for one.

For so many years, the Alchemy Saint only perfected the pill prescription, but the number of times he refined it was few and far between.

The reason for this, it is said, is because a certain main ingredient is missing.

What that main ingredient is, many people don't know.

But when the Alchemy Saint ascended, the Yu family knew!

It was surprisingly spiritual opportunity!

Such an ethereal and unpredictable thing, hard to find in the world, could actually be used as a main ingredient for alchemy; it was truly shocking.

But wanting to replicate this feat was extremely difficult.

Spiritual opportunity is omnipresent between heaven and earth, everywhere, but to truly find it is extremely difficult.

Usually, only when a cultivator has an epiphany or ascends will it gather in large quantities.

Even in the Mirage Dragon cave heaven, spiritual opportunity is extremely scarce; it was still intercepted in large quantities from the outside world by the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect, and then solidified into the phantom cores after being absorbed by special creatures like phantom beasts. Only then could these true disciples absorb a wisp or a thread.

They, these ordinary alchemists, simply didn't have the ability to use it as a main ingredient.

At present, Xiang Qi's idea was clearly to use the Heavenly Opportunity Pill to replace the phantom core for cultivation.

After all, the Heavenly Opportunity Pill personally refined by the Alchemy Saint contained several times or even dozens of times more spiritual opportunity than an ordinary fourth-tier phantom core.

They, these true disciples of the Dao Sect, if they get it, they have a complete opportunity...

"Well, Yu Xu, have you considered it?"

Yu Xu hesitated.

Tao Wan was watching from the side, anxious, and seeing her hesitate, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Xu, you and I are close friends, how can we turn against each other?"

But unexpectedly, Yu Xu shook her head decisively.

"Before saying this, why don't you think about the relationship between Xiao Linzi and you; is it any worse than ours?"

Does she know we snatched Lin Bufan's phantom core back then?

Tao Wan was speechless.

Yu Xu didn't pay attention to Tao Wan anymore; what she was truly hesitating about was whether she really wanted to give such good things as the Heavenly Opportunity Pill to Xiang Qi.

As for the so-called sisterhood, she had never hesitated in the face of the struggle for the Dao!

She couldn't help but look up at the black-robed cultivator.

"True Person Tianshan, in your opinion, what should be done?"

True Person Tianshan's voice was hoarse, unhurried: "Everything is up to the Daoist friend to decide."

Yu Xu didn't hesitate anymore, and under Xiang Qi's gaze, nodded slowly.

"Then let's join forces!"

Before the voice fell, a scream was heard on the plain.

"Luo Chen, run!"

On the plain, Luo Chen had been calmly watching those people singing and harmonizing.

Hearing Tao Wan's scream, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

The other party didn't come for the phantom core, but for his Heavenly Opportunity Pill.

It was a good idea!

He said loudly: "Run, that's not necessary. Luo Mou also wants to see the means of the Western Desert high monk and the Southern Border Gu cultivator."

While speaking, he raised his foot and stomped.

On the three great mountains, rays of array light suddenly emerged.

He would use this array to fight these two.

Who would have expected that after confirming to join forces, the other party had already tacitly thought of a combined attack method.

"Let this seat come first!"

The rough voice exploded suddenly!

Like a lion's roar, the majestic sound wave attacked Luo Chen.

Because of the encirclement of the three mountains, this sound wave echoed constantly, becoming rolling like angry thunder.

Sound wave spell?

Luo Chen frowned, temporarily releasing the connection with the large array, and at the same time took a deep breath.

His abdomen bulged like a ball.

The next moment!

"Roar!"

A strange sound, like a beast but not a beast, like a human but not a human, exploded from his mouth.

Colliding crazily with that surging sound wave.

Sound wave spells, Luo Chen had seen many, especially those performed by musical instruments like zithers, flutes, and drums, which were relatively common.

Even, he had once obtained a sound wave cultivation technique called "Lin Jiang Xian Qu," which came from a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland named "Xiao Wanderer."

In order to learn the soul attack attached to that cultivation technique, he once spent time studying it, but was troubled by not being proficient in musical instruments, so he didn't go deep into it.

However, regarding sound wave techniques, he still understood some tricks.

Now, with the physique of a desolate beast and thick source power, he roared out according to the unique pronunciation rhythm of "Lin Jiang Xian Qu."

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

On the plain, the lion's roar was like thunder, and the human cry was like a tide!

Under repeated bombardments, a large number of air-breaking and barrier-breaking sounds exploded for no reason.

Just at this moment, Luo Chen raised his brows.

Under the perception of spiritual sense, the Angry-Eyed Vajra had already moved.

He was filled with reddish-gold color, turned into a golden light, and rushed towards the nearest mountain.

With the momentum of not turning back until hitting the south wall, he rushed in.

Its speed was very fast!

In the blink of an eye, he pierced through from the other side of the mountain.

Its momentum did not stop!

With super high speed, he attacked the next mountain.

When he appeared again, the orientation was the opposite of the beginning.

And behind him, the three great mountains still stood tall.

The Angry-Eyed Vajra's figure paused, his hands joined together, he slapped fiercely, and spat out his voice.

"Break!"

The next moment, in the shocking eyes of everyone, the three great mountains that had stood in the Mirage Dragon cave heaven for thousands of years collapsed in an instant.

And the array Luo Chen set up also had no place to rely on because of the collapse of the mountain veins and the change of terrain.

A small tripod fell from the sky, spinning.

Luo Chen reached out to catch it while waving his sleeves to disperse the remaining noise.

"Using the Buddhist Lion's Roar to take the lead and gain the advantage, then using a body technique similar to hitting the mountain to break the mountain range. Such a smooth flow, breaking my geographical advantage in an instant."

"Master, good means!"

Luo Chen sighed and stepped out from the large amount of smoke and dust.

His body was spotless, his hair was gray-white, his eyes were deep, and he had the bearing of a grandmaster.

"Amitabha!"

The Angry-Eyed Vajra shouted a Buddha name and said in a deep voice: "The donor's sound wave technique is not as exquisite as my Lion's Angry Thunder Roar, but the fierce power is not inferior at all."

The true contact between the two actually occurred in the collision of sound waves.

On the surface, Luo Chen was at a disadvantage, but he was not good at sound wave techniques in the first place, and with just one hasty roar, he blocked the other party's accumulated blow.

Thus, the high and low were seen!

"Next, the donor must be careful!"

The Angry-Eyed Vajra raised his hands horizontally, the majestic momentum rose and fell, and the biting gale gathered around him.

A Zen staff slowly emerged and fell into his hand.

In the sky, True Person Tianshan spat out, and a small sword flew out, circling around him like a swimming fish.

Just as the two were about to make a move.

"Master, I want that small tripod too!"

The Angry-Eyed Vajra's momentum paused.

Xiang Qi was truly too greedy!

Who couldn't see that the small gray tripod had miraculous power?

It could be said that Luo Chen could easily subdue phantom beasts, half relying on his own ability, and half relying on the power of that small tripod.

This Xiang Qi wanted both the Heavenly Opportunity Pill and the small gray tripod, to facilitate hunting phantom beasts later!

Forget it, since he was someone else's guardian, he should naturally satisfy the other party's requirements in the cave heaven as much as possible.

Just as his thoughts were flowing, he heard a sonic boom.

In his eyes that were not angry but majestic, a vicissitudes and elegant face was reflected.

"How could his speed be this fast?"

Sinking shoulders, side elbows, moving forward courageously!

It was exactly the Mountain-Hitting Style among the Six Styles of Extreme Mountain!

This is using the other party's way to treat the other party!

Luo Chen slammed into him suddenly.

Boom!

On the earth, a golden figure was seen flying backward for several miles like an iron ball, even though he tried to stabilize his figure in the air, he still stumbled.

"Master, you were distracted."

Luo Chen smiled lightly, raised his foot, and stomped again in place.

The Air-Exploding Step was activated again!

In the void, afterimages flashed constantly, and when he appeared again, he was just a few zhang above the Angry-Eyed Vajra's body.

Even, one could clearly see the shock and anger on the other party's face.

"I heard that the Buddhist sect is good at body refining. Exactly, I want to try the means of the fourth realm of body refining; Master should not let me down!"

Luo Chen's figure suddenly pressed down.

Breaking through layers of gale, he actually wanted to use his body to turn into the momentum of a mountain, forcibly suppressing the other party.

The Angry-Eyed Vajra slapped the ground with his backhand, and his right hand held the Zen staff and poked upward.

Thud!

A strange sound rang out instantly.

Luo Chen's toes pointed on the Zen staff, and just as he was about to exert force, a reminder of "Be careful" came to his ears.

In fact, there was no need for Tao Wan to remind him; Luo Chen had long been prepared.

Without looking back, he grabbed out, his five fingers curled and stretched.

The Cloud-Exploring Divine Claw was used with ease, grabbing at the small flying sword that broke through the air.

But that small sword was quite flexible, actually passing through the fingers without being hindered at all.

Luo Chen raised his brows, "What a slippery flying sword, what a strange magic power."

Sighing in his mouth, he pinched the spell with both hands, and layers of fire rings exploded from his side.

That small sword kept moving forward, but its power became weaker and weaker.

Ding!

Like a mosquito bite, the sword tip stabbed at Luo Chen's chest.

Luo Chen looked down and grabbed it.

That small sword suddenly withdrew.

In the sky, True Person Tianshan, who was pinching the spell to control the flying sword, whispered a reminder: "Master, be careful, this person's protective magic treasure should be at the true artifact level."

"No matter, watch me break it!"

With True Person Tianshan's assist, the Angry-Eyed Vajra finally got a chance to breathe.

He no longer resisted Luo Chen's huge physical suppression force, but instead used his power to fall into the ground. Like a knife cutting tofu, he easily merged into the ground.

Whoosh!

A golden light flew out from the ground a hundred zhang away.

Then a large amount of gang energy covered his whole body, holding the Zen staff wrapped with nine rings, and smashed through the air.

Luo Chen nodded slightly in his heart.

Vertical Jin Guang?

Is it an escape technique that fuses gold and earth systems?

It is not inferior to the Air-Exploding Step he created himself.

However, if you really want to collide head-on?

Luo Chen smiled ferociously, and his flesh palm grabbed the Zen staff without fear.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing kept coming from the collision between the two.

Jin Gang energy and blood-colored source power were intertwined with each other.

Such pure close-quarters combat is rare in the current cultivation world.

Less elegant and free, more bloody and heroic.

In a short time, there were dozens or hundreds of rounds of violent collisions.

It made the onlookers' eyelids jump wildly.

Xiang Qi couldn't hold back and whispered: "Yu Xu!"

Yu Xu understood the other party's meaning and nodded to True Person Tianshan.

The other party didn't sit and watch anymore, but activated the flying sword again, conjuring sword lights, killing Luo Chen from all angles.

It seemed like he was going all out.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That Wild Wanderer is really quite tricky; two great True Persons joined forces, one close combat, one long-range attack, and they could be both offensive and defensive. Such talent, why did he commit himself to a third-rate family like the Tao family?"

And on Luo Chen's side, he didn't think so.

The Angry-Eyed Vajra was undoubtedly using his full strength, constantly performing various exquisite body techniques, on par with him.

But that True Person Tianshan was clearly slacking off!

From the first contact, he should have known that the flying sword could not break his Xuan Chen Armor defense, even if magic power was added.

But he still pretended to go all out like this.

He could deceive young geniuses like Xiang Qi and Yu Xu, but here with him, there was no pressure at all, and the only thing he had to face was the Angry-Eyed Vajra.

"Jin Gang Slash!"

A roar came to his ears; the bald monk held the Zen staff high, using the staff as a sword, and slashed down with violent gang energy.

Luo Chen's face looked slightly solemn, and he punched out with condensed source power.

Boom!

This time, it was his turn to fly backward.

But while flying backward, his ten fingers pointed out one after another, and needles of blood-colored source power flew out, blocking the other party's pursuit.

When Luo Chen landed, the flying sword attacked again.

Luo Chen didn't fear its sharpness and flicked it away with a finger.

Thus, the battlefield was silent, as if it had returned to the appearance of not offending each other before.

Everyone held their breath, and even the arrogant and talkative Xiang Qi didn't speak anymore.

It was because he spoke before that he disrupted the Angry-Eyed Vajra's momentum, leading to Luo Chen suppressing the other party.

Tao Wan didn't remind Luo Chen anymore; she already understood that it was not her turn to remind the battle-experienced Luo Chen.

The only thing she didn't understand was that Luo Chen clearly had a set of profound spells, but when fighting, he didn't use them at all.

Was it that he couldn't, or he didn't want to?

On the earth, Luo Chen dusted his chest; dust fell from his Daoist robe, but he didn't look embarrassed at all.

He scanned the Angry-Eyed Vajra and True Person Tianshan.

Then he spoke slowly.

"The fourth-tier body refiner seems to be nothing more than this; I can't see the power of the Flawless Golden Body recorded in the ancient books at all!"

The Angry-Eyed Vajra stared at him!

He indeed had not cultivated the Flawless Realm, which could be seen from the leakage of his gang energy during the battle.

The four realms of body refining: first realm Vajra, second realm Blood River, third realm Furnace, fourth realm Flawless.

When reaching the fourth realm, the huge gang energy is hidden inside, locking the whole body's essence, not leaking. When fighting, there will not be a magnificent scene, but instead, it pursues the concentration of power at one point, making it difficult for the enemy to parry.

The reason why he reached the fourth realm of body refining without cultivating the Flawless Golden Body is related to his over-pursuit of the limit of the first realm when he first touched the path of body refining.

He possessed the Great Vajra physique very early!

The title of Angry-Eyed Vajra is largely derived from his Great Vajra physique.

But the Great Vajra physique is also the cause of his failure.

The forcibly promoted fourth realm of body refining could not achieve whole-body flawlessness and self-locking of essence.

This time, the reason he agreed to the Xiang family's invitation and traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to participate in the Heavenly Origin grand competition was also to get a Daoist body refining technique from the Xiang family.

In this way, Buddhism and Daoism merge to fill the flaws in his golden body.

But he didn't expect that this Wild Wanderer's eyes were so sharp and his knowledge so broad; after a few hundred short rounds of contact, he had peeked out the clues.

Seeing the other party staring angrily, Luo Chen shook his head and looked at the black-robed cultivator standing high in the sky.

"It is rumored that Southern Border cultivators are good at using Gu; not only do they use Gu for cultivation, but they also often use Gu insects for combat, but I haven't seen the Daoist friend perform similar means. This kind of hiding the head and showing the tail is quite disappointing to Luo Mou!"

True Person Tianshan's tone was hoarse: "I think it's better if you don't see it."

Luo Chen blinked: "Forget it, then don't see it."

Before the voice fell, the Nascent Soul domain unfolded suddenly!

The cold and hot spiritual energy made everyone almost unable to breathe.

With his own strength, he suppressed the whole field!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he rose into the sky.

In his vision, the Angry-Eyed Vajra's gang energy soared to the sky, forcibly breaking free from the domain suppression, turning into a golden light and rushing towards him.

True Person Tianshan released the Nascent Soul domain at the same time, his fingertips lightly swiped, and the small sword vanished into the void. The sword trace could not be seen, the sword momentum was more penetrating, as if it were omnipresent.

"End it!"

Luo Chen murmured, and behind him, a pair of wings unfolded suddenly.

A huge fire phoenix soared into the sky, entwined with a green flame tail, sweeping across all directions.

It was exactly the grandmaster-level fourth-tier fire spell—Fire Phoenix Raging Plains! ===== CHAPTER 706 =====
