Chapter 496: Testing the Demon with the Body, Master of the Hook-Deep Sword

Under the night, Li Fei quietly sneaked into the Qingmian Villa with Wang Yilong.

He didn't want others to know about his return to Datong Prefecture for the time being.

"Are those 'Demon-Feeding Beasts' obtained from the Lu family before in the villa?"

Li Fei found Yang Zhe directly and asked him.

For Li Fei's sudden return, Yang Zhe was both surprised and happy.

Although he didn't know the movements of the outside world yet, he received Li Fei's call the day before yesterday, and tonight he learned that the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in Xing City was attacked, so he immediately realized that the situation might change greatly!

If Li Fei hadn't returned tonight, Yang Zhe was already prepared to arrange a retreat for himself.

Yang Zhe: "Those dozen or so 'Demon-Feeding Beasts' are all in the villa. If the Marquis needs them, I will have someone bring them to you immediately."

Li Fei shook his head: "Don't alarm others, don't let anyone pass on the news of my return, tell me the location, I'll go myself."

Yang Zhe understood immediately and told Li Fei the location of those "Demon-Feeding Beasts."

Li Fei immediately performed the Sword State · Shadowless and Formless, and sneaked toward the depths of the villa quietly with Wang Yilong.

Qingmian Villa was originally a large exotic beast farm, and the backyard was divided into several areas to raise different types of exotic beasts.

Li Fei took Wang Yilong to an independent area in the backyard, where a dozen-meter-high iron fence was built on the periphery, and there were patrols 24 hours a day.

There was also special medicine powder sprinkled around the iron fence to make exotic beasts dare not approach.

There are a total of fifteen Demon-Feeding Beasts in this area that have cultivated mid-three-grade implants in their bodies, all of which are one of the benefits previously divided from the Lu family.

"Sect Master Wang, next I have to trouble you to protect me, don't let anyone disturb me during this period."

Li Fei said to Wang Yilong.

"You want to use 'Demon-Feeding Beasts' to quickly practice the 【Dragon Elephant】 supernatural power?"

Wang Yilong frowned.

Just now when Li Fei mentioned 'Demon-Feeding Beasts' to Yang Zhe, he didn't avoid him, so he guessed Li Fei's idea.

"Yes."

Li Fei nodded and admitted his idea.

The 【Dragon Elephant】 supernatural power requires a total of four mid-three-grade implants, among which one called 【Dragon Power Armor】 is the most core, and even the national treasury of Lanling City does not have this implant.

And except for 【Dragon Power Armor】, the other three implants are relatively conventional, and many places have them. The dozen or so 'Demon-Feeding Beasts' obtained from the Lu family this time also have these three implants.

Li Fei specifically rushed to the Long Hu Sect, just to directly absorb 【Dragon Power Armor】 there, because this kind of implant cannot be transported over long distances.

Before setting off, he had already consumed blood souls through the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power to transform into life force, accelerating the growth of 【Dragon Power Armor】, making it reach the peak of the Qi Transformation realm, and could perform "Unity."

"But even with 'Demon-Feeding Beasts', you still have to 'Unify', how can it be possible to practice the 【Dragon Elephant】 supernatural power in a short time?"

"Besides, even if you have one more supernatural power, if you really might face a Grandmaster, what's the point of this?"

Wang Yilong was very puzzled.

Li Fei didn't explain much, just said indifferently:

"I have my own measure, trouble Sect Master Wang."

After Shi Caiming's warning, he had actually given up the idea of taking shortcuts.

But this is a different time.

Even if practicing the demonic path will lead to an unstable foundation and leave hidden dangers for future cultivation.

But future problems can be left to be solved in the future.

And some regrets, Li Fei had already sworn that he would never experience them again!

Seeing Li Fei's firm expression, obviously having made up his mind, Wang Yilong stopped persuading:

"Good, I will protect you!"

Immediately after, the two walked into the jungle.

Li Fei soon found a Demon-Feeding Beast that possessed the implant he needed.

This is an exotic beast covered with gray scales, sharp teeth and claws, looking like a goat.

This exotic beast is a third-grade superior Rock Sheep Beast, and now it possesses a fourth-grade implant 【Earth Elephant Foot】 that has completely matured.

Using a third-grade exotic beast body to cultivate a fourth-grade implant will cause the body function and lifespan of the third-grade exotic beast to be seriously affected.

The Rock Sheep Beast Li Fei found at this moment had red eyes and was constantly panting, obviously living very painfully.

Within a few years, even if the 【Earth Elephant Foot】 in its body was not taken out, it would die of exhaustion of vitality.

Li Fei gently patted the head of the Rock Sheep Beast, ending its life.

Then he used strength as a knife, cut open the abdomen of the Rock Sheep Beast, and took out a large mass of bloody things from it.

Immediately after, he pressed this mass of bloody things on his lower abdomen and began to run the cultivation method to absorb it.

Demonic path cultivation also has corresponding demonic path martial arts. The more superior the demonic path martial arts, the higher the safety and success rate.

But Li Fei didn't know any demonic path martial arts at all, and his absorption method at this moment was a normal means.

Using normal means to absorb the completely mature 【Earth Elephant Foot】 is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing!

But Li Fei didn't care at all, and all the damage encountered during the absorption process was transferred to the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl.

After more than an hour, 【Earth Elephant Foot】 was successfully absorbed into his body.

Because he hadn't performed "Unity" on the 【Dragon Power Armor】 incorporated before, the 【Dragon Power Armor】 and 【Earth Elephant Foot】 implants immediately started "fighting," causing a fierce conflict in his body!

Li Fei, while using the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl to bear the damage and continuously consuming blood souls to transform into the life force required by the implants through the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power, maintained the three implants so that they would not be damaged by mutual conflict.

At this time, the number of blood souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl had consumed more than 1,000!

It is only Li Fei who dares to "seek death" like this. If it were a Wu Gong Grandmaster, several lives would have been lost!

Li Fei found the next Demon-Feeding Beast and continued the previous operation.

After more than two hours, he completed the incorporation of the third implant.

This time, possessing three mature implants that had not been "Unified" at the same time, the conflict between them became more serious.

Relying solely on elixirs could no longer completely suppress the conflict of the implants, Li Fei could only continuously use the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl to bear the damage, and at the same time urge the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power to consume blood souls to transform into the life force required by the implants, so as to maintain the three implants so that they would not be damaged by mutual conflict.

At this time, the number of blood souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl had consumed more than 1,000!

It is only Li Fei who dares to "seek death" like this. If it were a Wu Gong Grandmaster, several lives would have been lost!

Li Fei found the last Demon-Feeding Beast and continued the previous operation.

It was not until 11 o'clock at night that he completed the incorporation of the third implant.

Up to this point, he already possessed the four implants required to refine the 【Dragon Elephant】 supernatural power, and all of them reached the peak of the Qi Transformation realm!

He only needs to "Unify" these four implants, and he will have the foundation to refine the supernatural power.

Every minute and every second now, Li Fei is consuming blood souls, so he didn't hesitate and started "Unity" directly.

Four implants "Unify" at the same time!

Wang Yilong thought that even if Li Fei could successfully complete the absorption of implants with Demon-Feeding Beasts, he couldn't practice the supernatural power in a short time because he still needed "Unity."

If it were the previous Li Fei, even with the "Ten-Day Breakthrough Method," he would need at least forty days for the "Unity" of four implants.

But now he has the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power, and the top auxiliary supernatural power, the situation is different!

The key to the "Ten-Day Breakthrough Method" lies in first using strength to simulate the "channel" of the implant branch, then digging out the local flesh and blood, and then directly taking out and collecting the implant branch. Finally, use the recovery characteristics of the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl to quickly restore the dug-out flesh and blood.

The initial Ten Thousand Blood Pearl could fully recover any serious injury within ten days.

With 【Blood Breath】, the recovery time can be shortened to five days.

With the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power and 【Blood Spring】 to store extra blood souls, the recovery time can be even shorter!

Besides, using strength to simulate the "channel" consumes a lot of heart and mind power. Previously, Li Fei could only complete the local part first, and then continue "Unity" after the heart and mind power recovered.

But now, he can use the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power to transform blood souls into heart and mind power, thereby achieving continuous "endurance"!

After these two major difficulties were solved, it was no longer impossible to complete the "Unity" of four implants at the same time in a short time.

The afternoon of July 8th, in the forty-ninth year of Hongguang.

5 o'clock in the afternoon.

The light of the setting sun fell on the backyard of Qingmian Villa, spilling onto the ground through the gaps in the branches.

Li Fei slowly opened his eyes.

He successfully completed the "Unity" of four implants!

Unprecedented, and it is probably difficult to have a successor!

Now the main parts of the four implants required for the 【Dragon Elephant】 supernatural power are all contracted in his dantian, on the periphery of the 【Mixed Origin Golden】 Dao Foundation.

What needs to be done next is to start refining the supernatural power.

Similar to the refining of spell-type supernatural powers, the refining of martial arts-type supernatural powers is also divided into three steps:

Life Activation, Form Refining, and Dao Integration.

To obtain supernatural power, the most critical point is the deep-level fusion of the implant and oneself, and the comprehensive stimulation of the source power.

So breaking through the realm from the Dao Foundation realm to become a Wu Gong Grandmaster, the more core-level extraordinary abilities, the higher the success rate of breaking through the realm.

Because the more core-level extraordinary abilities, the higher the degree of fusion between the implants in the body and oneself, and the more source power is stimulated.

But after the martial arts foundation is built, the martial artist's body has already fused with the Dao Foundation, and there is no extra "space" to go for deep fusion with other implants.

So after incorporating mid-three-grade implants later, Li Fei did not stimulate any kind of extraordinary ability.

The first step "Life Activation" is to use one's own Dao Foundation to stimulate the life source of the mid-three-grade implants in the body, making them enter a special state.

The next "Form Refining" is to let the implants in the special "stimulated state" gradually integrate into one's own Dao Foundation, just like adding bricks and tiles to a house that has already been built.

The more solid one's foundation, the smaller the difficulty of this step.

The last step "Dao Integration," is similar to when the five implants were refined into the Dao Foundation, to completely fuse the mid-three-grade implants integrated into the Dao Foundation, and use one's own Dao Foundation to refine them into new supernatural powers.

Li Fei is now starting to try the first step "Life Activation."

He soon encountered a problem—

The four implants in his body, except for the first 【Dragon Power Armor】 which he cultivated bit by bit from beginning to end and had fusion with himself. The other three implants are mature implants obtained directly from the Demon-Feeding Beasts.

This led to Li Fei's poor degree of fusion with these three implants, and his control over these three implants was also very poor.

In this situation, wanting to complete "Life Activation," the probability of failure is more than 90%!

This is the drawback that Shi Caiming mentioned to Li Fei before.

Even if the success rate can be increased through some demonic path martial arts, it is difficult for the probability of failure to be lower than 30%.

Li Fei was very calm and did not panic.

This situation was anticipated by him in advance.

His practice of the demonic path this time, seemingly impulsive, is actually carefully considered.

Urge the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power to refine blood souls into the life force corresponding to the implants, and then inject them into them.

"Life Activation" is to stimulate the life source of the implants. If the life source of the implants is strong enough, the difficulty of stimulation is naturally smaller.

This is like a few pieces of wood being difficult to be ignited into a big fire, but if you pour a lot of oil into it, the situation is different.

Blood souls were consumed rapidly, and as life force was continuously injected into the four implants, Li Fei soon found the feeling.

After more than an hour, he completed the "Life Activation" of the four implants!

Other Wu Gong Grandmasters breaking through the realm first complete "Life Activation" for one implant, then complete "Form Refining," and then perform "Life Activation" and "Form Refining" for the next implant.

Li Fei does all four together!

After the four implants entered the special "stimulated state," he performed "Form Refining" on the four implants in turn according to the cultivation method obtained from the Long Hu Sect.

"Form Refining" requires one's own Dao Foundation to be strong enough, the foundation to be solid enough, and the control over the implants to be strong enough, the higher the success rate.

Li Fei possesses the legendary Dao Foundation 【Mixed Origin Golden】, and his advantage is much greater than those Wu Gong Grandmasters who possess advanced Dao Foundations and top-tier Dao Foundations.

Although because of practicing the demonic path, his control over the three implants is very weak.

But he has the 【Refining Objects】 supernatural power, so for him, the difficulty of "Form Refining" is the smallest!

After more than four hours, the "Form Refining" of the four implants was all completed!

Up to this point, from refining the 【Dragon Elephant】 supernatural power, Li Fei is only one step away.

The morning of July 8th, in the forty-ninth year of Hongguang.

6:12 AM.

A wooden house, square and more than five meters long, appeared over the provincial capital of Feng Province.

This wooden house is also a flight magic treasure.

Because it performed invisibility-type techniques, many people didn't notice this low-altitude flying magic treasure.

Soon, this magic treasure arrived over the Lu Fu and appeared directly.

The wooden house landed in a courtyard of the Lu Fu.

A few minutes later, Lu Wenzheng arrived upon hearing the news, followed by Xu Jing.

The two stepped over the threshold, walked into the courtyard, and looked at the wooden house.

The door of the wooden house opened, and an old man with gray hair on both sides first walked out.

The old man bowed to Xu Jing and Lu Wenzheng:

"Greetings, Lord Lu, greetings, Grandmaster Xu."

Xu Jing saw at a glance that this person was a True Person-realm sorcerer, and the flight magic treasure should be controlled by him.

But he and Lu Wenzheng were not waiting for this True Person.

Xu Jing didn't say a word, staring at the inside of the gate, already vaguely sensing something.

Soon, a tall figure walked out of the wooden house.

This person wears a blue and white robe, carries a long sword on his back, has gray-white short hair, a withered face, and looks like an old tree that has lived for hundreds of years.

But Xu Jing could sense a majestic life force from this "old tree"!

Not only that, he also vaguely felt a terrifying sword intent hidden in it.

But when he carefully perceived it, it was as if everything was an illusion, and the old man in front of him was just an old man who was getting on in years and was ordinary.

Xu Jing narrowed his eyes, a bit surprised.

Lu Wenzheng only knew that the First Imperial Prince would send a Grandmaster to help, but didn't say who it was.

Every Grandmaster in the world is famous and is a true giant!

A Grandmaster coming to help means not only that their side has an extra top combat power, but also means the support of an extra top force!

Looking at this old man who looked like an old tree and had a withered face, Xu Jing already had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure.

"Old man Bo Chen, greets the two."

The old man said indifferently, without bowing.

His voice was hoarse, as if it were produced by two stones rubbing against each other, which sounded very harsh.

Lu Wenzheng felt uncomfortable subconsciously, but forced a smile, showing a look of joy:

"So it is the Master of the Hook-Deep Sword who has arrived, it really makes my place shine!"

Bo Chen, Sect Master of the Hook-Deep Sword Sect!

"One Building, One Pavilion, Sanshan, Four Sects, Seven Great Families," except for the imperial court, the sects in the Jianghu that possess Grandmasters are only these few.

The Hook-Deep Sword Sect is one of the "Four Sects"!

After martial arts cultivation reaches the realm of Grandmaster, martial artists pursue more the number and application of supernatural powers, and few people continue to specialize in martial arts.

The Hook-Deep Sword Sect goes the opposite way, specializing in how to use supernatural powers to cooperate with sword techniques.

Half of the sword techniques in the world are in the Hook-Deep!

The Hook-Deep Sword Sect is such a sword sect that pursues the peak of sword techniques.

The sect has been passed down for more than four hundred years and has a total of twelve "Creation" sword techniques, which are sword techniques that can reach the realm of creation after being practiced to great success.

The Sect Masters of all generations are required to master at least three creation sword techniques and practice them to the realm of creation!

Therefore, the Sect Masters of the Hook-Deep Sword Sect of all generations are honored as the Master of the Hook-Deep Sword.

Bo Chen is the fifth generation Master of the Hook-Deep Sword, a Grandmaster of the Divine Derivation Realm.

More than forty years ago, when he took over the position of Sect Master, he had already mastered four creation sword techniques and practiced them all to the realm of creation!

More than forty years have passed, and no one knows how many more creation sword techniques he has practiced.

"Sanshan, Four Sects, Seven Great Families," "Sanshan" are slightly stronger than "Four Sects," and "Four Sects" are slightly stronger than "Seven Great Families."

However, this ranking is based on comprehensive strength.

If it is about personal combat power, Bo Chen can definitely rank in the top three among these fourteen forces!

The First Imperial Prince actually pulled in the Hook-Deep Sword Sect and could let the current Master of the Hook-Deep Sword make a move personally, which is undoubtedly surprising.

"Greetings, Master of the Hook-Deep Sword."

The arrogant Xu Jing also restrained his arrogance in front of Bo Chen and took the initiative to salute.

Bo Chen looked at Xu Jing and said directly:

"Kill Shi Caiming, you only need to sweep the array for me, prevent him from escaping, and leave the rest to me."

"Good."

Xu Jing is happy not to have to exert effort, so that the problems of his Wu Gong Domain will not be easily exposed.

"Let's go."

Bo Chen is sparing of words.

"Good!"

Xu Jing immediately performed the 【Cloud Ascending】 supernatural power.

A blue cloud appeared out of thin air under his feet, and then rolled toward Bo Chen.

Grandmasters rely on the characteristics of their own Wu Gong Domain to fly, and the consumption will be relatively large, making it difficult to last.

But if there is a flight-type supernatural power, the situation is different.

Xu Jing performed the 【Cloud Ascending】 supernatural power to take Bo Chen to fly together, with low consumption, and the flight speed was faster than most flight magic treasures!

The two turned into a group of blue clouds and rose into the air.

A wooden house also rose into the air quickly, following closely behind.

Lu Wenzheng looked up at the blue clouds gradually moving away in the sky, with a ferocious smile on his face.
