After the storm at the sparring stage, Liu Ji's attitude changed drastically when he went to the Pill Hall in the afternoon to collect the waste pills. He kept calling Chu Yurong Senior Brother Chu, which made Chu Yurong feel very unfamiliar. However, the Qiyun Sect had never changed in terms of seniority in the past thousand years, so he could only accept it.
At night, Chu Yurong was cultivating Water Peeking. He could already get a glimpse of the second level. Recently, he felt that his cultivation was very slow. It was just like how he had been at the third level of spirit enhancement, where he couldn't absorb any more spiritual power. Now that he had reached the eighth level, he had been experiencing similar situations for quite some time, and was clearly feeling quite anxious. It was fine to integrate the spiritual energy into the skin, bones, and blood, but when the spiritual energy approached the internal organs, it was repelled by a repulsive force, making Chu Yurong really not know what to do.
"If I still can't find a solution in the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Books, I can only go and ask Martial Uncle Bai for advice.”Chu Yurong muttered.
"Bang bang bang…is Junior Brother Chu here?”Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"May I know which senior brother is visiting? Why are you looking for me?”Chu Yurong was very surprised. It was already late at night.
"During the day, Junior Brother Chu saved my Junior Brother Huang Bai, so I came here to thank you. Please open the door for a chat.”
Chu Yurong stood up and casually tapped on the restrictions of a few wooden houses set up by the sect.
"Come in, what happened during the day…"
Before he could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened. A black-robed man stabbed at him with a spear. Chu Yurong was not in a hurry to dodge as she spoke. She could only turn her body slightly and touch her storage bag. In an instant, Chu Yurong felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. She took out her flying sword and stabbed it at the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man pulled out his spear and deflected the flying sword. At the same time, his lips moved slightly. Chu Yurong knew that something was wrong and threw out a small bell.
"Clang!" A flying needle was bounced away by the small bell. Chu Yurong pointed at a corner of the wooden house, and the wooden window opened. She put away the flying spiritual sword and small bell, and jumped out of the window. Chu Yurong did not dare to stay any longer and fled.
The black-shirted man did not expect Chu Yurong to be able to dodge his flying needle magic artifact. He had miscalculated.
"Let's see how far you can run!" The man in black looked out of the window, but he was not in a hurry to give chase. In his opinion, he couldn't kill him in one strike even if he rushed out now. If he fought, he would definitely attract the attention of the people nearby. It was better to follow him and wait until there was no one around before attacking.
Chu Yurong had been running for his life, but he didn't think so much now. He was deeply afraid that the black-clothed man would catch up, so he jumped down lightly when he encountered a high ridge. In a short while, he had already left the range of the sect's mountain peak. Chu Yurong felt that no one was chasing after him. She secretly circulated the second layer of the self-healing technique, but she did not dare to stay. After another hour, she stopped by a lake in the forest and sat cross-legged to take out the healing pill that her master had left for her.
In less than fifteen minutes, a black shadow flashed in the forest. Chu Yurong immediately stood up vigilantly. The black-clothed man did not hide and said,
"I didn't expect you to be able to run so far even though you're injured!”
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me for no reason?”
"Who I am is not important. As long as you are willing to hand over the high-grade spirit sword in your hand, I will let you go.”Seeing that there was no one around, the black-clothed man also became impudent.
Chu Yurong immediately understood that the other party must be the disciple present on the arena today.
"You want to take my spirit sword…Let me go, how can you let me go!”Chu Yurong naturally didn't believe him. Although she didn't see his appearance, he used a long spear magic weapon. If she reported it to the sect, she would definitely be able to find out who this person was.
"Brat, then die!"
With that, the black-robed man clenched his spiritual energy and threw out his spear. Chu Yurong did not show any weakness and took out her flying sword to meet it. Even though the flying sword was a high-grade spiritual weapon, it was no match for it. The spiritual sword was only at the Spirit Refinement Realm, so it could not unleash much power. With a bang, it flew back and the spear stabbed over. Chu Yurong stepped away and the spear was nailed to the tree beside him.
Chu Yurong was shocked. The other party was at least two realms higher than him. Moreover, he used a metal-type cultivation technique that was good at attacking.
"You still want to leave!"
Seeing Chu Yurong turn around and run again, the black-clothed man flew forward, pulled out his spear, and swung his staff at Chu Yurong. Chu Yurong was surprised that the black-clothed man was so fast, so she could only raise her sword to block. With a clang, a strong force hit Chu Yurong's body like hitting a cow across a mountain. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Chu Yurong's mouth.
Staying here would definitely mean death. The black-robed man once again used his powerful spear technique. He turned around and swept again. Chu Yurong blocked it again, but this time, he jumped into the lake and circulated his cultivation technique to sink to the bottom of the central lake.
The black-clothed man was dumbfounded when he saw this. He didn't have time to think too much. He gathered his spiritual power and threw the spear at the shadow in the water. With another move, the spear returned to his hand. After failing, he threw it again...
"Damn it!" After a moment of silence, the man in black said angrily,"I don't believe you won't come out."”
The lake was less than 300 feet in size. If someone came ashore, they would be able to see it at a glance. The black-clothed man, on the other hand, became quiet.
At this time, blood came out of Chu Yurong's leg. Other than the first shot that grazed his skin, the subsequent shots did not touch him at all. After sinking to the bottom of the lake, Chu Yurong sat down cross-legged and circulated the second layer of the self-healing technique. At the same time, she spat out a thick spiritual energy from her mouth and penetrated the lake water. She then used the first layer of the technique to control the lake water to the surface, forming a weak breathing passage. After a while, Chu Yurong suddenly realized that the second level of the cultivation method, which had been stagnant, had made progress. The spiritual energy in her veins and skin slowly entered her internal organs.
"Could it be that the first and second stage of the self-healing cultivation technique can only be used at the same time to temper the lungs?”At this time, Chu Yurong did not care about the men in black on the shore and started cultivating. If he dared to enter the water, the situation would immediately reverse.
The black-clothed man on the shore seemed to be a little anxious. There was no movement in the water for more than two hours. If he had not been staring at it, he would have suspected that it had escaped.
"I don't believe you can stay down there forever!”
At this moment, the black man felt that something was wrong. The surface of the lake was constantly fluctuating. No, it was flowing. No, it was rotating around the center of the lake. The vortex was becoming more and more obvious.
Chu Yurong, who was at the bottom of the lake, was also surprised at this time. She circulated her spirit energy through her lungs, and the spiritual energy in her dantian began to rotate. However, unlike last time, it was rotating around her body at this moment, and it was getting faster and faster. It even attracted the water flow outside her body, and the range was getting larger and larger. When he realized that something was wrong, the whirlpool in the lake also caused the whirlpool in his dantian to rotate. They interacted with each other and could not stop at all.
"What cultivation technique is this kid cultivating?”The man in black was shocked.
The whirlpool became stronger and stronger, and the water level in the center of the lake became lower and lower. It was only twenty feet away from the bottom of the lake.
The man in black took out a fist-sized luminous stone and infused it with spirit power. It emitted a dazzling light and then threw it into the middle of the lake. Suddenly, a three-meter-wide space in the water could be vaguely seen.
"That kid is actually in the middle of the lake. We can't let him waste his time like this.”The black-clothed man thought to himself, worried that there would be more changes.
Then, the man in black jumped up the tree and flew to another tree. In a few flashes, he arrived at the top of a big tree by the shore and jumped into the center of the lake. His spear stabbed down, creating a whirlwind. His spiritual power soared and turned into a golden dragon that pounced down. Chu Yurong was suddenly shocked. She looked up and saw that something was wrong. At this moment, her cultivation technique could not be stopped. She gritted her teeth and extracted the spiritual energy from her dantian. She patted the hilt of her sword and shot it upwards. The flying sword turned blue and spun around crazily. It was full of spirituality. The lake water instantly wrapped around the flying sword and rushed up. If someone was on the shore, they would have cried out in alarm. A giant dragon roared out of the vortex and swallowed the golden dragon in one gulp.
Bang!
Hua hua hua…
After a muffled sound, water splashed everywhere.
After this attack, the vortex in the lake water was broken, and Chu Yurong's body gradually calmed down. The attack just now was so shocking that he did not expect it at all. However, he knew that his dantian was different from the description of the cultivation technique. Clearly, the change in his dantian was related to the first time he absorbed spirit stones.
"Could it be related to…the Qi Chang Academy guard who stabbed me?”
However, now was not the time to think about this carefully. He got up and went ashore. After casting a spell, his clothes dried. He saw the black-clothed man lying on the stone beach. His mask had fallen off. However, he did not recognize him. After a brief examination, all the bones in his body were broken and covered in bruises. He could not be any more dead. Chu Yurong put away the black-clothed man's storage bag and the broken spear magical equipment. He slowly returned to the sect. At this time, he was also considering how to report to the sect.
