Chapter Eighty-Four: Refining Essence and Transforming Qi into Nine Grades of Spiritual Energy

  The blood-colored runes, in the instant they flashed on Yichu's body, slowly disappeared into his body. As the blood-colored runes disappeared, Yichu felt that the true power within his body had undergone a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change.

  At this moment, Yi Chu felt that his entire body was filled with a sense of power, and every inch of his skin could gather all his true strength.

  Vigorous power flows through Yi Chu's body, but what makes him feel different is the blood-colored symbol hidden in his heart. The formation of this blood-colored symbol is like having an extra channel that connects Yi Chu to the infinite heavens and earth.

  This small passage is a path that leads to the outside world. It is also this small symbol that allows a 9th rank cultivator to control and wield flying sword treasures.

  He Lian, so this is He Lian.

  With the thought of harmonizing with the spiritual energy, he couldn't help but swing his arm, and a stream of true energy shot out from his palm, hitting the ground not far away. Suddenly, a not-so-small pit appeared on the surface of the earth.

  Breaking through the combined spirit, he actually broke free from the restraint of the fixed body symbol. This unexpected discovery suddenly made Yi Chu extremely happy, and at this time, he didn't even try to test what benefits he would gain after combining his spirits, but instead directly went to Feng Nan Yi's side.

  "Easy brother, are you okay? That's great, quickly take out the golden needle from my body, I will definitely help you kowtow under my Taohuamen gate." Feng Nan Yi looked at E Zhi Chu who was walking quickly and shouted loudly in surprise.

  "Hehe, sorry Feng Dao brother, I really don't want to bow under the Taohua Gate, and I also want you to never return to the Taohua Gate." As he spoke, a hundred-jin heavy boulder appeared in Yi Chu's hand.

  "You... what are you going to do? I'm telling you, my surname is Yi, and I'm a disciple of the Taihuo Gate's first generation. If I die, the Taihuo Gate will absolutely not let you off!" Feng Nan looked at Yi Chu with a terrified expression, his face pale and his voice hoarse as he shouted.

  "Are you going to let me go? Anyway, you won't let me go, I'd rather have you return home first, as for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

  With a flick of his wrist, he raised the stone high and said, "Earlier, I hit you so many times, but your face didn't even swell up. This time, I'll try with this stone to see if the skull of a cultivator is really as hard as steel!"

  "No...!" A shrill cry escaped from Feng Nan Yi's mouth, but who could hear his anguished wail at this moment? At the instant he let out that cry, Yi Chu's hundred-jin stone had already heavily smashed onto Feng Nan Yi's skull.

  "With a loud crash, a stream of fresh blood shot out from the top of Feng Nan's head, and the huge stone crushed his skull into pieces. The stench of polluted blood flowed all over the ground. The proud Feng Nan was killed by Yi Chu with just one stone."

  "Hmm, it seems that this cultivation is not omnipotent after all." As Yi Chu spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture towards the void, and the 24 golden needles flew back into his hand. These 24 golden needles could be said to be Yi Chu's most powerful weapon, and if he hadn't secretly used them this time, he wouldn't have been able to deal with Feng Nan Yi.

  After taking out the treasure bag of Feng Nan Yi, Yi Chu took up his sword and dug a hole not far away, burying Feng Nan Yi and the stone that had taken his life together in the hole.

  This place is not a place to stay for long, after completing all this, Yi Chu did not dare to linger and his body was like lightning, rushing towards the Dragon Burial Mountain.

  As he delved deeper into the mysteries of cultivation, Yi Chu's reverence for the legendary Xian Dao techniques grew. He didn't know if Tai Huan Men would immediately find out after Feng Nan's death, but staying here was undoubtedly a foolish decision to the extreme.

  Without Li Yingqiong's burden, Yi Chu's speed was much faster. In just a short while, Yi Chu entered the vast Dragon Cangshan Mountains. After flying into a dense forest, Yi Chu finally let out a big sigh of relief.

  It's finally safe for the time being, but Yi Chu doesn't plan to stay in this dense forest for too long. This place is really too close to where Feng Nan lost his life. As someone who has already reached the 9th rank of the Cong Ling realm, every time Yi Chu moves her feet, she can fly out over a hundred meters, which is considered an extremely fast flying speed, covering several miles in an instant.

  In the midst of this rush, Yi Chu had forgotten about time and didn't know where he was heading towards. The sun slowly set behind the mountains as Yi Chu ran. Under a not-so-big mountain peak, Yi Chu found a hidden cave.

  After running for a day, Yi Chu had almost covered a distance of over 200 miles. Feeling that he had gone far enough, Yi Chu looked at the cave hidden in the valley and decided to stay there for some days. He had already reached the ninth rank of spiritual unity, but as for mastering the art of controlling magical artifacts and familiarizing himself with the true power within spiritual unity, he was still a novice. Staying here would be just right for him to practice.

  In the mountains and fields, he casually caught two unlucky pheasants, found a few bright red wild fruits, and Yi Chu made his own dinner in the mountain cave.

  The cave is not big, but it's very clean. What's more wonderful is that there is a small stream not far from the cave. After solving half of the roasted mountain chicken, Yi Chu felt much more at ease.

  Looking at the remaining half pheasant, Yi Chu couldn't help but think of his own appetite yesterday. At that time, he had eaten two wild rabbits in a row, and Li Yingqiong even teased him for it. Compared to yesterday, today should be hungrier, as he hadn't eaten anything for a whole day.

  What's going on? Could it be that I've fallen under some kind of evil spell from Feng Nan Yi? Yi Chu ridiculed himself in his heart as he put down the half-plucked pheasant. He casually picked up a wild fruit and took a bite.

  In the past, when I broke through, my appetite and strength would greatly increase. How did it reach this state of harmony with nature, but my appetite actually decreased? With a flick of his finger, he easily and smoothly shot a small stone not far from him.

  "Bang", the stone instantly turned into powder, but Yi Chu's fingers didn't even touch the stone. This phenomenon was impossible for Yi Chu in the past.

  "When the mind is full, one cannot sleep; when the breath is full, one cannot eat." Two sentences from Wang Luo's Taoist scriptures suddenly appeared in Yichu's mind. These two sentences had never been understood by Yichu before, but now they seemed to have a hint of enlightenment.

  When the breath is full, one does not think of food; when the spirit is full, one does not think of sleep.

  Breaking through the combined spirit, which ritual instrument should be sacrificed first? Yi Chu's thoughts instantly shifted to the ritual instruments.
