Chapter 81: Creating a Body-Refining Cultivation Method

"Chase separately! Don't let one go!"

Feng Four looked at the group running away separately and gave a ferocious laugh, chasing toward Long Xuan.

The others also chose a target respectively and chased after them quickly.

However, there were only four of them, while Long Xuan's group had five people; eventually, one person would be missed.

Finally, that person scanned Di Xin and Li Laodao respectively and ultimately decided to chase the fastest one first; the slowest one wouldn't be able to run far, and it wouldn't be too late to kill him last.

Thus, he chased toward Di Xin.

After Long Xuan looked back and saw this scene, he had to lament that this Li Laodao's luck was truly good. If that person chose to chase him first, he would be dead.

It just so happened that he chose to chase Di Xin first. Di Xin was a Spirit Refining stage expert playing the pig to eat the tiger; chasing her first meant he wouldn't be able to resolve the battle in a short time, and it was possible he would capsize in the gutter.

No matter which situation occurred, he wouldn't be able to spare a hand to deal with Li Laodao.

However, for now, he had better take care of himself first.

Looking at the murderous face behind him, Long Xuan felt a shiver in his heart. How big was this feud?

Didn't just one older brother and one younger brother die?

Was it worth it?

He quickly accelerated and used "Treading Stars" for the first time in this world. At this moment, his feet were like shooting stars, and his speed was fast. Even Feng Four, this Spirit Refining stage expert, actually couldn't catch up to his speed.

"How is it possible? How can he run so well!"

Feng Four was shocked. A Spirit Refining stage Gu cultivator's speed actually couldn't catch up to a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator; this was simply an inconceivable thing in his view, making him hard to believe.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. He liked to predict the enemy generously, fearing they would run away, so he had already set up a large number of traps on the road they returned on. Although the traps might not be very strong, they were enough to limit their speed.

If it weren't for seeing them stay in place for a long time without moving, they would have been ambushing in front all along and wouldn't have taken the initiative to run over.

However, when he saw Long Xuan actually stepping on the grass tips and running in front, as if flying, his speed was extremely fast, and he didn't trigger a single trap on the ground.

He widened his eyes and rubbed his eyes fiercely, looking at this scene in disbelief.

"Stepping on grass tips to run? Are you kidding me?"

"How on earth did he do it!"

He was thoroughly confused. The scene happening before his eyes could scare a person to death, and it also broke his cognition of movement techniques.

Long Xuan sneered in his heart. Under the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, how could the traps in front hide from his eyes? They were simply too elementary.

However, when he looked back and saw Feng Four take out something familiar, his face changed immediately.

Feng Four revealed a playful smile. If he really thought he could escape easily like this, he would be very wrong. It was also fortunate that he predicted the enemy generously and prepared another hand.

He took out a Decay Gu that made the Far West Region tremble with fear from his insect-breeding bag.

One had to know that the Decay Gu could not only limit the strength of Gu cultivators but also limit the strength of Gu insects.

He knew Long Xuan had a Gu insect that could slow down the enemy's speed; how could he not be prepared?

Therefore, he exhausted all resources after returning to the family to refine a Decay Gu, with the purpose of using it to limit that kind of Gu insect that could slow down speed.

Under the ability of the Decay Gu, the abilities of all Gu insects would be greatly weakened, and the domain would also be compressed to a very small range.

It was a pity that refining the Decay Gu was too resource-consuming. He had exhausted his family wealth for revenge and had no extra resources to let the Decay Gu transform.

However, as long as he didn't face the same level, it was completely enough to deal with a small Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator.

Originally, whether it was the traps in front or the Decay Gu prepared early, they were all used to limit the Slowing Domain.

But now he could only take out all his preparations first.

After Feng Four took out the Decay Gu, unsurprisingly, Long Xuan's speed began to drop significantly, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.

Feng Four's ferocious smile also became more and more intense. Seeing the Long Xuan in front also rummaging through his insect-breeding bag, he curled his lips. Was he going to take out that Gu insect that could slow down the enemy's speed? It was useless, he sneered in his heart.

However, he saw Long Xuan's insect-breeding bag clearly open, but the Gu insect inside didn't come out for a long time. Was it sleeping again? He curled his lips.

Suddenly, his gaze moved down, and he actually discovered a small green dragon crawling on the back of his Decay Gu at some point. Without any precautions from the Decay Gu, it bit off its neck in one bite.

His eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief.

"Damn it! What is this thing? When did it appear!"

Feng Four screamed subconsciously, hurriedly thickening the spirit armor wrapping his whole body, not hesitating to double his spiritual power consumption to strengthen his defense.

This thing was simply too elusive. Until now, he didn't know when this Gu insect had come over. The speed was simply inconceivable, forcing him to thicken his defense to deal with this thing's sneak attack.

He had exhausted huge capital, and the freshly baked top-grade Gu insect had died suddenly in the first battle. He was furious and ashamed, almost going crazy. At this moment, he thoroughly lost his rationality and, in his anger, slapped toward that damn Gu insect.

Logically speaking, a Spirit Refining stage Gu cultivator attacking a mortal Gu that was benchmarked against a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator was enough to kill it in one blow.

It just so happened that when his palm was about to fall, this Gu insect actually disappeared into thin air, making his palm miss and hit the air. He was stunned.

He searched everywhere but was completely unable to find the trace of this Gu insect, as if it had evaporated into thin air.

Where did he know that the Dragon Gu had long since teleported into Long Xuan's insect-breeding bag? When it came out, he didn't see its figure, and when it went in, he didn't see its figure. Where was he supposed to find it?

Long Xuan closed the insect-breeding bag and looked at his back with disdain.

Still daring to take out that kind of fragile skin? What was he thinking? Didn't he know that the Dragon Gu was known as the fragile skin killer?

Insisting on chasing him.

As a result, another top-grade Gu insect died. What was this suffering for?

Without the limitation of the Decay Gu, Long Xuan's speed increased sharply, and it didn't take long to thoroughly shake off Feng Four.

A Spirit Refining stage Gu cultivator actually couldn't catch up to a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator's speed; this was simply an inconceivable thing.

"Grass! Grass! Grass!"

Feng Four was thoroughly crazy, attacking the weeds on the ground like crazy, and began to bombard a tree trunk with both fists, hitting the tree until it was full of fist marks, and the leaves fell all over the ground.

Just like crazy.

It took a long time for him to stop his venting, panting heavily, and looked at the direction Long Xuan left again. Only then did he unwillingly turn around and run back.

Since Long Xuan didn't stay, then the others shouldn't think about running. The culprit ran away, but his teammates shouldn't think about running. He revealed intense killing intent in his eyes.

Not long after, he converged with one of the red-clothed people.

"How is it? Can you kill that person with the most cruel means?" Feng Four asked in a deep voice.

However, the person opposite revealed an awkward look and said unnaturally: "A small accident happened. That person clearly obtained an extraordinary inheritance and obtained a magical small boat. I couldn't catch up to that small boat's speed at all."

"So... I lost the person!"

Feng Four widened his eyes and roared furiously: "What did you say? You, a Spirit Refining stage Gu cultivator, actually let a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator run! What on earth are you doing!"

On the other side, the Little Medicine Boy looked back from time to time at the red-clothed man who was always hanging behind him, his expression full of tension.

On the way, he bumped into traps set up by them in advance from time to time, but he relied on the Cockroach Gu's undying ability to forcibly resist them.

Ever since he obtained the Cockroach Gu, he had been frantically refining his body, completely ignoring the price that excessive body refining would leave hidden injuries on his body. His body-refining results progressed rapidly, and he had already left normal people behind by who knows how many streets in terms of physical strength.

However, just relying on outstanding physical strength to want to shake off a Spirit Refining stage Gu cultivator was clearly unrealistic.

After all, a Gu cultivator's speed didn't just come from body refining, but also from spiritual power.

The Little Medicine Boy was one major realm lower than his opponent. Being able to not be caught up until now was already a miracle.

At this moment, the red-clothed man behind him was already going crazy. This little bald head was actually so able to run? He, a Spirit Refining stage Gu cultivator, actually couldn't catch up to him. This made his face look worse and worse.

Although he couldn't catch up, he still didn't choose to give up.

He, a Spirit Refining stage Gu cultivator, actually couldn't catch up to a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator; this was simply too shameful. If he went back, wouldn't he be ridiculed by his companions? He couldn't afford to lose this face.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth hard. Today, he was going all out. Even if he ran until his legs broke, he had to kill that damn little bald head.

Therefore, even though he was late to catch up to the Little Medicine Boy, he absolutely wouldn't give up and kept hanging behind him, which made the Little Medicine Boy's head grow big. Such a dead-set opponent was truly too maddening.

"No, I can't consume with him anymore. His spiritual power is more abundant than mine, and he has teammates. His teammates could spare a hand to deal with me at any time."

"I absolutely cannot drag it on anymore. If I drag it on, the situation will be unfavorable for me. I must shake off my opponent at the fastest speed; otherwise, I will be in danger today."

The Little Medicine Boy's expression became stern, as if he had made up his mind and made a major decision in his heart, about to use one of his trump cards.

He prided himself on having an amazing brain and, ever since he obtained the Cockroach Gu, had been frantically digging into the Cockroach Gu's abilities, developing quite a few practical techniques, one of which was a life-saving ability.

In this world, there was a magical escape technique called the Blood Escape Technique, which used blood as a price to instantly teleport a large distance. It absolutely belonged to a first-class life-saving divine skill.

But this move belonged to a forbidden technique and would be very dangerous once used.

Because once a person's blood volume was lost by 20%, there might already be danger, and the blood loss amount for using the Blood Escape Technique once was exactly 20% or more.

Once this forbidden technique was used, the person might run away, but whether they could live afterward was uncertain.

But with the Cockroach Gu, it was different. Using the Blood Escape Technique once wouldn't cause any danger at all.

Others might die after using the Blood Escape Technique once, but he could use it four or five times in a row, instantly pulling a large distance away from the enemy. The backlash of the forbidden technique was also very small for him.

The Cockroach Gu paired with the Blood Escape Technique was simply a perfect match.

He had just been hesitating about how many times it was best to use the Blood Escape Technique in a row.

Using the Blood Escape Technique once was definitely not enough. After all, the person behind was a full major realm higher than him. Using the Blood Escape Technique once clearly couldn't shake off his pursuit.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, predicted the enemy generously, and decided to use the Blood Escape Technique three times in a row, thoroughly disappearing from his line of sight and thoroughly shaking off his pursuit.

The next moment, his face instantly lost its color, his face became pale, and immediately after, his whole person disappeared into thin air, as if he had evaporated from the world, without a trace.

The red-clothed man was stunned and finally stopped his steps. What exactly happened just now?

How did the person disappear into thin air? Was it a big change of a living person?

He was completely confused.

Not long after, Feng Four and the other two chased here. As soon as they came over, they couldn't wait to ask: "Where is the person? Can you kill him?"

The red-clothed man revealed an awkward look; he also didn't know where the person had gone.

Seeing his expression, Feng Four's eyes widened again, looking at him in disbelief, and roared in collapse: "Don't you dare tell me you also lost the person!"

"You are a Spirit Refining stage! And your opponent is only Spirit Gathering stage. You can even lose him? What on earth are you doing? Are you eating dry rice?"

The red-clothed man was also scolded into a fire and roared: "What can I do? He directly used the Blood Escape Technique seven or eight times and disappeared without a trace. How do you want me to chase? Why don't you go and chase one for me to see?"

"Escaped seven or eight times?" The other red-clothed man's mouth twitched. Thinking that the person had the Cockroach Gu, he actually believed this ghost story.

"Calm down, isn't there one more? The data shows she is most afraid of cockroaches and absolutely cannot possess the Cockroach Gu. Without the Blood Escape Technique, she absolutely cannot shake off my brother's pursuit."

"Maybe my brother has already taken her down and is enjoying her wonderful body. If we go over now, maybe we can still catch up to the hot one." The red-clothed man revealed a sinister smile.

Thus, the three of them searched in another direction. Not long after, they saw a headless corpse lying on the ground, wearing clothes exactly the same as theirs.

The three people were completely numb.

What kind of ghost was this? That is to say, this last one not only didn't catch the person, but instead lost his life. The three people were filled with disbelief.

Spirit Refining stage not being able to catch up to Spirit Gathering stage was already unreasonable, and now they could even be counter-killed? Was this kidding me?

Feng Four thoroughly collapsed.

That is to say, he predicted the enemy generously and cautiously brought four Spirit Refining stage helpers, but as a result, not only did he not kill a single person, but he also lost one of his own hands and a top-grade Gu insect. He couldn't understand.

"Puff!"

Feng Four sprayed a mouthful of blood.

It was also because he couldn't think it through. This team was a nest of Children of Fortune. Who could they catch up to? Going against a pile of protagonists, wasn't this seeking death?

"Hmph! Fighting with this old lady! Truly, flowers don't know why they are so red."

"Really thought this old lady was playing the pig to eat the tiger for nothing?"

Far away, Di Xin, who was running, shook the storage bag she had captured in her hand, looking satisfied. It seemed she was very satisfied with the success of this act of playing the pig to eat the tiger. She finally played it clearly once.

And what Long Xuan's group didn't know was that the direction she was moving forward at this moment was exactly the direction of the cave abode they had just left. What was she doing by turning back at this moment?

Di Xin's eyes revealed an excited light, her expression as smug as could be.

Perhaps many people didn't know that mechanisms and arrays were not separated. Ancient tombs had always combined mechanisms and arrays. How could she not understand mechanisms?

The reason she said she didn't understand mechanisms in the cave abode was entirely because she was talking nonsense. A woman's mouth is a ghost that tricks people; she truly tricks people to death without paying for her life.

She deliberately said in front of everyone that she didn't understand mechanisms, and after everyone left, she turned back alone to enjoy it exclusively and swallow the heavy treasures. She was truly too cunning.

However, no matter how cunning she was, she couldn't be more cunning than Long Xuan. Her little scheme was destined to fall through.

When she finally returned to the cave abode with great difficulty and saw the stone door with the combination lock wide open, with nothing inside, she couldn't help but rub her eyes, her smile thoroughly stiffening on her face, looking completely confused.

"Who did this!!!"

"Which turtle bastard did this good deed! Daring to move earth on the head of Tai Sui! Stealing from this old lady! What big dog guts! Whose hand is so fast!"

"Don't let me catch this shameless thief!"

A woman's ear-piercing scream rang out in the cave, the sound deafening, and the echo reverberated in the cave for a long time...

Speaking of Long Xuan's main body at this moment, he had safely returned to his residence without encountering any danger. Among this group of people, who could be more cunning than him?

After he returned home, he immediately transplanted the Fire Dragon Fruit Tree to the center of the medicine garden, where it was full of upper-grade spirit soil. After picking all the Fire Dragon Fruits, he covered the area where the Fire Dragon Fruit Tree was with cold fire.

After that, he didn't care anymore; everything was left to nature, following fate.

Whether it could live all depended on its own good fortune. If it could live, it would live; if it couldn't, it didn't matter. It counted as its fate being bad.

Anyway, he had obtained all the fruits on the tree, and he was already satisfied.

The medicinal effect of the Fire Dragon Fruit definitely had a quantity limit; it was impossible to keep eating and infinitely stacking buffs. So since the fruits were already in hand, whether this tree could live or not really didn't matter to him. Even if it really died, he wouldn't feel heartache.

Being able to live for him only played the role of icing on the cake. He didn't dare to take it out to sell; the fruits on the tree could only be eaten by him as fruit, wasting heaven's gifts.

After transplanting the Fire Dragon Fruit Tree, he immediately started preparing for the work of refining the Water Bear Gu. That's right, the materials needed to refine the Water Bear Gu had been thoroughly collected after this adventure.

The materials used to refine the Water Bear Gu were all kinds of Water Bear Gu, very simple, so simple that he didn't spend much time when livering the Water Bear Gu formula. Anyway, only one material was used, and it didn't consume brain cells at all.

But don't ever think that a Gu formula livered in a very short time would be weak. Although the Water Bear Gu wasn't good at fighting, its practical value was definitely not inferior to any of his top-grade Gu insects.

Look at the Cockroach Gu; it had been developed into what it was by the Little Medicine Boy.

The Water Bear Gu was much more terrifying than the Cockroach Gu, and its upper limit was much higher. The Water Bear Gu was definitely a top-grade Gu insect that could be ranked in the forefront in this world. Long Xuan had this confidence.

How could he not have this confidence? One had to know that his Water Bear Gu formula used more than 4,000 materials, all of which were top-grade spirit insects, a full 4,000-plus top-grade spirit insects, a Gu formula full of top-grade spirit insects.

It was simply scary.

Except for him, who else dared to refine Gu using only top-grade spirit insects? No one else; only he dared to be so crazy and so arrogant.

A Gu refined from so many top-grade spirit insects—if this Water Bear Gu could still be simple, then there would truly be ghosts.

Long Xuan took out a pile of bottles and jars from the warehouse, all of which were labeled with tags written with various terms.

But although there were words on the tags, all the bottles were empty.

No need to think about it; what was contained in all the bottles must be the Water Bear Gu of various kinds.

Long Xuan's expression was excited, revealing an excited smile.

He began to open the lids one by one, pouring the Water Bear Gu from all the bottles into one largest bottle. Looking from a distance, it was like pouring air.

After he put all 4,000-plus top-grade Water Bear Gu into a large bottle, he injected half a bottle of red liquid into the bottle.

Refining the Water Bear Gu, using the common starvation method to make them swallow each other was definitely not going to work.

Because Water Bear Gu could live for 30 years without eating or drinking. Do you dare to starve one and see?

For this kind of undying creature, starving it was useless; one could only use some special means.

There were many ways to urge spirit insects to fight each other: drawing symbols on the ground to hold ceremonies, releasing smoke, feeding poison...

And the method Long Xuan used was a liquid called Frenzy Liquid. Spirit insects within this liquid would fall into a frenzy state and frantically attack their own kind.

Of course, this method was only suitable for those spirit insects that were not afraid of water, to avoid the possibility of drowning. And the Water Bear Gu, this kind of undying creature, was precisely the kind that was very difficult to drown, just suitable for using this method to refine Gu.

After Long Xuan poured the Frenzy Liquid into the large bottle, he buckled the lid, lifted the bottle and shook it frantically, then put it on the table.

It wasn't until the progress 【0%】 appeared on the bottle that he stopped repeating this action and finally revealed a satisfied expression and left.

He didn't know how long it would take for the Gu to be formed, so he would just wait like this.

During the waiting period, he naturally couldn't just wait like this. Following the old rules, he started the next project during the waiting period, livering something to pass the time.

And what the next project was, Long Xuan had long since decided. Naturally, it was the matter of deciding to create his own body-refining cultivation method? He had planned this matter for a long time.

Gu cultivators could not learn body-refining cultivation methods, but if you didn't refine your body, you would definitely be weaker than other Gu cultivators.

Not to mention the problem of physical strength during battle.

Just say that once the enemy sends a Gu insect with extremely fast speed to attack you, your physical explosive power is not enough, so how can you dodge?

This weakness was simply too fatal and must not be ignored.

Therefore, for Long Xuan, learning a body-refining cultivation method was a must-do thing, even if distracting himself to cultivate a body-refining cultivation method would slow down his progress, he wouldn't hesitate.

This was a required course; whoever was biased would die.

Now that the Water Bear Gu that could make people have an undying body was about to be born, he didn't have to worry about the various dangers caused by body refining.

Therefore, the matter of creating his own body-refining cultivation method could be put on the agenda. Advancing with the Water Bear Gu was just right.

He was emotionally excited. After taking a deep breath, he sat back in the pavilion, took out the cultivation method called "Nine Deaths Divine Art" he had copied in the cave abode, and then sat there reading it with relish.

Actually, he had already secretly learned quite a few body-refining cultivation methods at the Qian Clan Treasure Pavilion and had already understood the foundation of creating his own body-refining cultivation method, and there were quite a few cultivation methods he could draw on.

But compared to this body-refining cultivation method, those body-refining cultivation methods were simply little brothers, worse by who knows how many dozens of streets, worse by one hundred and eight thousand miles.

Since he wanted to draw on them, he naturally had to draw on the strongest body-refining cultivation method.

This cultivation method called "Nine Deaths Divine Art" truly came at the right time. This cultivation method had many profound knowledges that were hard to learn, and the significance of drawing on it was great. The arrival of this cultivation method was enough to make the cultivation method Long Xuan created improve by at least one grade.

Nine Deaths Divine Art, Nine Deaths Divine Art, was a cultivation method that taught you how to seek death. Breaking then establishing, the more you seek death, the stronger the cultivation method.

Long Xuan soon grasped the essence of this cultivation method and had a certain inspiration.

Three days later, he put away the "Nine Deaths Divine Art," placed a piece of paper on the stone table, and prepared to start writing the outline of the new cultivation method.

In any world, the more dangerous the cultivation method, the stronger the power; this was a law, an eternal and unchanging natural law.

Since the danger level of the cultivation method was directly proportional to the power, he didn't consider how strong the cultivation method was, only how dangerous the cultivation method was.

The more dangerous, the better, preferably dangerous to the extreme, dangerous to the point that whoever cultivated it would die, but he happened to be able to resist it because he had the Water Bear Gu, and only he alone could cultivate it.

Such a train of thought was the most suitable route for him, which could be considered tailor-made for him.

He concluded that a cultivation method dangerous to the extreme could absolutely not be weak.

Then how could a cultivation method be made the most dangerous? How could a cultivation method be made dangerous to the point that whoever cultivated it would die?

This was also easy.

Thus, Long Xuan wrote directly on the outline:

First layer: Lava Body Refining

Second layer: Cold Qi Body Tempering

Third layer: Heavenly Fire Body Forging

Fourth layer: Heavenly Tribulation Body Strengthening

If someone saw what he wrote, they would be scared to death.

Crazy, right? Was this a cultivation method? This was fancy suicide, right?

Jumping into magma to refine the body—he actually thought of it. Was that something a normal person could do? Only Superman could do it, right?

Actually daring to delusionally use Heavenly Fire to refine the body—truly seeking death in fancy ways. He was afraid he didn't know what Heavenly Fire was.

Not to mention whether he could find that kind of legendary thing, even if he could find it, before he could get close, he would have already been roasted into slag ash.

Alchemists with the strongest fire resistance who swallowed Heavenly Fire had less than one in a hundred survive. You dare to use it to refine the body? What were you thinking!

Seeking death wasn't even sought like this.

Using Heavenly Tribulation to refine the body was even more excessive. That was a tribulation that high-level cultivators would encounter when breaking through.

Heavenly Tribulation was used to screen people. Under the Heavenly Tribulation, more than 90% of high-level cultivators would fall. Others hid too late, yet you actually dared to use that thing to refine the body. Simply crazy. What did you think Heavenly Tribulation was?

How on earth did this head grow?

However, Long Xuan, this big smarty, just felt that this method was feasible. Although this body-refining method was indeed a little exaggerated, the top-grade Water Bear Gu should be able to resist it, right?

Long Xuan thought somewhat unconfidently.

Even with the top-grade Water Bear Gu, he was a little unsure about the danger level of this cultivation method at this moment.

Don't let a Heavenly Tribulation come down and split him into ash directly. He didn't know if the Water Bear Gu could still live after being turned into ash, but he was afraid of being burned by Heavenly Fire until not even ash remained. That would be a disaster.

But that doesn't matter; no matter how dangerous the cultivation method is, it's the clones who do the practicing. Once they succeed, he gets to freeload off the clones' cultivation results.

If it wasn't refined and was split to death by the Heavenly Tribulation, then it had nothing to do with him, the main body. He didn't refine it, so what did it have to do with him?

Flame Clone: I thank you?

Long Xuan, this big smarty, transferred all the risks to the clone, while he himself could sit back and enjoy the clone's cultivation results. He truly had a good plan. He was truly too cunning.

"Alright! The cultivation method is designed like this. Come on, let me see who dares to refine it. Whoever refines it dies."

After Long Xuan finished the outline, he patted the pen heavily on the table, his arrogant aura leaking out.

He truly didn't believe it. Such a dangerous cultivation method, besides the top-grade Water Bear Gu, who else could live?

To what extent would a cultivation method dangerous to the point that only he alone could cultivate it be strong?

On this day, the first draft of the cultivation method that would shock the world in the future was completed. This heaven-defying cultivation method that would kill in all directions and shock the entire Gu World in the future would gradually reveal its edge starting from this day.
