Start from the Martial Arts

Fang Xiu calmed down and merged his consciousness into the fourth page of the Book of Destiny.

He began to check Cheng Ziyi's soul memory.

Cheng Ziyi's memory scenes kept appearing in front of him.

After a moment, Fang Xiu came back to his senses, his face a little solemn,

It turned out that Cheng Ziyi really found an ancient monk's cave, right at the bottom of the lake in the central area of ​​Yunmeng Lake.

A year ago, Cheng Ziyi went to Yan State to deal with mutant monsters, and accidentally found the magic tree spores in Yunmeng Lake.

She wanted to try to subdue it.

As a result, she mistakenly entered the bottom of the lake in the center of Yunmeng Lake and found the ancient monk's cave.

When she broke the outer magic circle of the cave, most of her mana was consumed.

As a result, she was attacked by the magic tree.

The magic tree is strong, comparable to a foundation-building cultivator.

Cheng Ziyi was in poor condition, and was defeated by the magic tree. She was seriously injured and could not support it before she escaped back to the surface of the water.

At the critical moment, she released the Heavenly Thunder to severely damage the magic tree, but her body was also damaged by the Heavenly Thunder.

In desperation, she risked using a soul secret technique called "parasitism" to seize the body of the magic tree.

As a result, she found that the soul of the magic tree was very different from that of the human race.

In the end, the possession was only half successful, and her soul accidentally merged with the soul of the magic tree.

Cheng Ziyi hunted mortals, the magic tree absorbed blood, and she devoured the souls of these people to strengthen herself.

The balance was gradually broken, and she took the dominant position.

Just when Cheng Ziyi was about to completely control the magic tree, Bai Yu and others were ordered to come.

She accidentally met Bai Jue.

At first she was still a little hesitant and didn't want to kill Bai Jue.

But she was bewitched by the soul of the magic tree, and she couldn't help but choose to parasitize Bai Jue.

Because the soul of the magic tree told her that as long as she devoured the blood, mana and soul of the foundation-building cultivators such as Bai Yu, she could make up for the original power that had been lost before and get great nourishment.

In the future, there is a great chance that she will cultivate to the third level and complete the transformation.

The life span of the magic tree itself is much higher than that of humans of the same level.

At that time, it will have a life span of a thousand years close to that of a Yuanying Zhenjun. If Cheng Ziyi rebuilds her magic power, there is a high probability that she will form a golden elixir and become a real Jindan Zhenren.

There is even hope to glimpse the Yuanying Avenue.

Cheng Ziyi is just an ordinary upper-grade golden spiritual root, which is helpful for breaking through the bottleneck of foundation building.

But after the foundation building period, the advantage of upper-grade spiritual roots quickly weakened.

It is not helpful for breaking through the false elixir realm.

Under the temptation of longevity, Cheng Ziyi didn't care about the relationship between master and disciple.

She used the special ability of the magic tree to parasitize in Bai Jue's sea of ​​consciousness.

She wanted to find an opportunity to sneak attack Bai Yu, devour him, and then deal with the other two foundation building cultivators.

However, Fang Xiu suddenly came back.

The magic tree spirit told her that it felt the breath of the same kind in Fang Xiu's body, and there was a power that made it feel daunted.

The magic tree spirit was dormant and dared not to take action.

Until Cheng Ziyi's soul grew stronger after several months, it was able to compete with the demon tree's soul again.

As a result, Fang Xiu discovered the problem and told Bai Yu.

The small four-elephant formation was a wedding gift from Qi Zhenren to Cheng Ziyi.

In order to thank Bai Yu for giving her the foundation-building pill, Cheng Ziyi gave him the small four-elephant formation after Bai Yu successfully built his foundation.

Before she entered the formation, she sensed a familiar breath and knew that she had exposed a flaw, so she attacked Bai Yu.

But she did not expect Bai Yu to be on guard and also got the silver frost armor, a top-grade defensive magic weapon used by Qi Zhenren in his early years.

In the sneak attack, Bai Yu was not killed in one blow, but was injured.

What surprised her even more was that Fang Xiu seemed to be only a great perfection of Qi refining on the surface, but in fact he had a body refining cultivation comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator, and his strength was not bad.

It was Fang Xiu's delay that gave Bai Yu time to prepare and forcibly use Taiyi Shenguang.

Taiyi Shenguang was originally a magical formula that could only be activated in the false Dan realm.

If used forcibly in the early stage of foundation building, not only will it not be able to exert its true power, but it will also consume decades of life.

But Cheng Ziyi underestimated Bai Yu's determination to protect her sister.

Bai Yu did not hesitate at all, and used desperate moves right away, breaking through the powerful defense of the magic tree with just one sword.

However, breaking through the defense of the magic tree is not fatal to Cheng Ziyi.

The most important thing is that Fang Xiu actually has a powerful treasure that is naturally resistant to the soul, and subdues her and the magic tree in one fell swoop.

"The art of instigating the soul... absorbs the power of the soul and strengthens one's own soul. It is really an evil secret art."

Fang Xiu finished reading Cheng Ziyi's memory.

Generally speaking, after the physical body of a cultivator is destroyed, there is only one chance to seize another's body.

After Cheng Ziyi practiced the art of instigating the soul, she could actually seize another's body many times.

However, practicing the art of instigating the soul will make the power of the soul impure, and it will take a long time to purify.

In addition, practicing this method is harmful to the harmony of heaven and is said to damage luck.

Moreover, those who practice the art of spirit possession will never be reborn and cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation.

"This secret art does not match my style, but... it is suitable for the magic tree."

Fang Xiu was thoughtful.

Fang Xiu could control the magic tree with the help of the Book of Destiny and would not be attacked by the magic tree.

He was not a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, but those who came out to cultivate immortality were all putting their heads on the belt.

If you fight with him for your life, you should be prepared to be destroyed.

"Xiao Jue's soul power was absorbed a lot by Cheng Ziyi..."

Fang Xiu checked Bai Yu and Bai Jue's body.

Bai Yu is much better now.

"I have to make up for her..."

In comparison, Bai's problem is much more serious.

Cheng Ziyi absorbed a lot of the power of her soul, and her soul showed signs of shrinking.

If she doesn't make up for it, her consciousness will be weakened, and it will be difficult for her to die in peace, let alone build a foundation.

Fortunately, the art of sending gods can absorb the power of the soul, and it can also 'return' the power of the soul.

Although Fang Xiu doesn't know how to use magic, it's too late to learn it now.

But after he was promoted to the third level of destiny master, the fourth page of the destiny book had the same new ability as the fifth page.

In the past, activating the divine soul pattern could only increase spiritual awareness, but now, you can directly possess the divine soul.

Buzz!

Fang Xiu activated the fourth page of the Book of Destiny.

Cheng Ziyi's soul pattern lit up, and Fang Xiu's body suddenly burst into a powerful spiritual pressure that far exceeded the Qi Refining Stage, as if he had instantly broken through to the Foundation Building Stage.

At the same time, his aura and mana fluctuated from the gentle and peaceful wood properties to the sharp and sharp metal properties.

Fang Xiu pinched the magic formula with his hand, and placed his fingertips on Bai Yu's eyebrows.

Cheng Ziyi's soul pattern flickered and slowly dimmed.

After a while, Fang Xiu withdrew his fingers and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Replenishing the power of the soul is also a delicate job. If there is too much, Bai's soul will be exploded at once, causing dementia and ignorance at the least, and death on the spot at worst.

If it weren't for Cheng Ziyi's soul, Fang Xiu could directly use her secret technique, but he would not be able to control it accurately.

At this time, the pattern of Cheng Ziyi's soul on the fourth page of the Book of Destiny was dim and dull.

"This is perfect for disguising your identity!"

Fang Xiu's aura and mana fluctuations also returned to their normal state.

With the end of Cheng Ziyi's soul possession, although he still had the magic technique of sending spirits in his memory, he suddenly couldn't use it.

However, there are more insights into using the magic of sending spirits.

"It seems I still have to practice on my own..."

Wow!

The demon tree in the courtyard shrank rapidly, changing from a towering giant tree to a small sapling, and finally turned into a foot-long rhizome, which submerged into Fang Xiu's body and appeared on the fifth page of the Book of Destiny.

"Well...I am...

After a while, Bai Yu was the first to wake up. His cultivation level was higher and he recovered faster.

"Um?!"

Bai Yu recalled that he fainted at the critical moment of the battle. He was shocked and stood up from the ground suddenly.

"Brother?!"

Bai Yu noticed Fang Xiu and Bai Jue standing aside.

Bai Jue sat on the porch.

Fang Xiu grabbed her wrist and slowly transferred the mana.

"You're awake..." Fang Xiu smiled.

"Brother, how is Xiaojue?"

Bai Yu quickly stepped forward to check.

"The aura of the magic tree in her body has disappeared. I have also checked the sea of ​​consciousness. There is no problem." Fang Xiu nodded.

"Let me take a look!" Bai Yu came to Bai Jue's side, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and condensed a ball of white light on his fingertips, which was pointed at the center of Bai Huan's eyebrows.

He released his consciousness and entered Baiyu's Niwan Palace.

After confirming that there were no signs of parasitism from other souls, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Jue looked around the yard. There were only some dry and rotten magic tree vines left on the ground, and there was no trace of Cheng Ziyi.

"Where is my master...Cheng Ziyi?"

"The demon tree she was living in was killed by you. When she was about to die, she wanted to take your body, and her soul was destroyed by me." Fang Xiu responded.

"That's good...:" Bai Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and collapsed directly on the ground, feeling a little tight in his chest.

"Xiaojue is basically fine. He just needs more rest to recover."

Fang Xiu let go of Bai Jue and reached out to grab Bai Yu's wrist.

"You're not seriously injured, let me see."

"Well...:" Bai Yu stretched out his hand and felt that Fang Xiu's magic power, with a faint breath of life, passed through the main meridians of his body, giving him the comfort and security of a baby staying in his mother's womb. .

After a while, Fang Xiu took back his hand.

"You have recovered part of your lost life span, but there is no way to make up for it in full."

The maximum lifespan in the foundation building period is four decades, and there is no problem in living a normal life of two hundred years.

Bai Yu is not yet forty years old, so losing decades of life is not a big deal.

Moreover, with the pure energy and blood provided by the demon tree, part of his lost life span has been restored.

If the foundation is not damaged, it will not affect future cultivation.

When the time comes, I will buy two more first-level and second-level life-extending pills and take them. It will not be a problem to live for two hundred years.

If that doesn't work, there are third-level life-extending pills and other life-extending things.

"I originally thought that forcibly using Taiyi Divine Light would consume at least a dozen years of life, but now it seems that I have only lost about thirty years. It is really a blessing among misfortunes."

Bai Yu carefully sensed the changes in his body and felt a little lucky.

"Not bad." Fang Xiu nodded.

Baiyu was still too anxious. In fact, Cheng Ziyi could be solved using conventional means.

Fang Xiu still had the Earth Dragon Beast yet to be released.

But it wasn't that he wanted to save his trump card, but that the Earthdramon was too big and too destructive.

The space in the yard is too small and difficult to use.

Their main purpose in dealing with Cheng Ziyi is to save Bai Jue.

What if the Earth Dragon Beast explodes with all its strength, blows up the demon tree, and kills Bai Jue by mistake?

That's a big problem.

In order to prevent the hostages from being persecuted by the gangsters, choose to kill the hostages and the gangsters together?

"Brother, thanks to you this time! Otherwise Xiaojue and I would have..."

Bai Yu held Fang Xiu's hand tightly, her gratitude beyond words.

Fang Xiu is still the same Fang Xiu, their good big brother.

It's still the same as before, extraordinary.

Although he is limited by his spiritual roots and only has the cultivation level of the Qi refining stage, his body refining cultivation level has reached the second level.

If someone doesn't find out the truth today, their brother and sister will go to hell together.

"We are all one family, don't talk about two families." Fang Xiu patted Bai Yu's shoulder with some emotion.

The boy who followed him back then has become so reliable.

"Kui wake up, let's clean the yard quickly..." Fang Xiu helped Bai Yu up.

"Yeah!" Bai Yu nodded heavily, seeming to have thought of something, and added:

"Brother, if Xiaojue can't remember this, then don't tell her. Let's just pretend that nothing happened."

"It's okay, just pretend that nothing happened. This will save you a lot of trouble." Fang Xiu agreed.

Metaphor!

Fang Xiu manipulated the formation disk, the surrounding void rippled slightly, and the four formation flags quickly shrank and fell into his hands.

"Brother, please accept this."

Fang Xiu returned the formation plate and formation flag to Bai Yu, but he refused.

"Although she chose the wrong path, she was really good to us before. This formation was given to me by her. Keeping it in my hands will remind me of her and affect my state of mind."

Fang Xiu paused, "Okay."

He was not polite and put the Small Four Elephant Array away.

"By the way, there's this...:" Fang Xiu took out a pale gold storage bag.

This is Cheng Ziyi's storage bag.

The Demonic Tree was revealed when it was absorbed by the Book of Destiny.

"You should keep these too." Bai Yu shook his head.

"This...:" Fang Xiu felt slightly comfortable.

"She is missing now, and I can't use anything from her." Bai Yu added.

Fang Xiu swept the storage bag with his mind and took out everything inside.

A top-quality magical weapon, the Golden Edge Sword.

There are more than thirty pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones and more than a thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.

There are also bottles and cans.

The combined value exceeds six thousand spirit stones.

"You can always use spiritual stones, right?" Fang Xiu advised.

"I don't want to use her things." Bai Yu shook his head.

"Okay, I'll accept these." Fang Xiu paused.

"I'll get you two longevity pills in a few days. Although it's mainly to save Xiaojue, I can't let you pay such a high price in vain."

For Fang Xiu, outsiders can take advantage.

Forget it about your own people.

"This..." Bai Yu hesitated.

"Don't worry, I won't use the spirit stones here to buy them. You don't really treat me as an outsider, do you?" Fang Xiu pretends to be displeased, that's fine! Thank you bro! "

Bai Yu understood Fang Xiu's painstaking efforts and was greatly moved, bowing deeply to him.

After experiencing Cheng Ziyi's betrayal, Fang Xiu's sincerity became even more valuable.

Sure enough, it’s better to be one’s own family.

"Brother...what are you doing?" Bai Jue woke up from his drowsiness, his mind was still a little confused. Seeing Bai Yu saluting Fang Xiu, he felt like a husband and wife paying homage.

"Xiaojue! Are you awake?!" Bai Yu was surprised and happy, and wiped her moist eyes with her sleeve.

Fang Xiu blocked Bai Yu's sight, waved his hand, and set off a gust of wind, sweeping away the remains of the magic tree vines in the yard.

"Brother is here too? Why do I feel like I've had a long nightmare, but I can't remember it?"

Bai Jue's eyes were a little dull, and he patted his head, as if he was trying to remember something.

"Since it's a nightmare, don't think about it if you can't remember it!" Bai Yu said quickly.
