Chapter 112 Mystic Gang Cover
Although the shield's defensive capabilities are only 80% of what the Xuan Turtle can achieve, and its power weakens the further away you are from the Xuan Turtle, it has already delighted Luo Ming.
It should be noted that turtle-type demonic beasts are already the best in defense among their peers, and their shells are top-grade materials for crafting shield magic weapons.
Now, this Xuan Turtle has been nurtured by Luo Ming for many years. With the continuous nourishment of the essence of the Demon-Attracting Grass, its bloodline power is several times stronger than that of an ordinary Xuan Turtle, and its defensive abilities are naturally even more astonishing.
"Young master, are you... sure?"
The old man with the golden gu tentatively asked, and after receiving Luo Ming's affirmative answer, a hint of eagerness appeared in his eyes.
His fate was now tied to Luo Ming's; the stronger Luo Ming's ability to protect himself, the safer he would be. Gazing at the layer of mysterious light, the Golden Gu Elder raised his hand and summoned his magical treasure, the Xuanfeng Sword, which hovered in front of him.
This Xuanfeng Sword is quite powerful. Under the full force of the Golden Gu Elder's command, it is enough to become the strongest attack method for a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation. It is perfect for testing the defense of Xuan Guang.
"Bang!"
A crisp collision suddenly rang out as the Xuanfeng Sword, pushed to its limit, slashed fiercely at the mystical light surrounding Luo Ming, only to be instantly deflected, the sword's spiritual light trembling. Luo Ming, however, stood firmly as if rooted to the ground, his figure not even swaying in the slightest.
The old man with the golden gu eyes stared wide-eyed at Luo Ming, as if he were looking at a humanoid monster, his face full of disbelief.
Although the protective aura of a Core Formation cultivator is strong, it can only withstand the full-force attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When faced with the magic weapon attack of a cultivator of the same level, no one dares to easily use their protective aura to take the hit head-on unless they are a Body Refining cultivator or someone who has cultivated a defensive supernatural power such as the Buddhist Vajra Shield, in order to withstand the bombardment of the magic weapon.
"This protective aura can draw upon the earth element, and its power can be increased by another 30% on earth and stone. My safety is finally guaranteed."
Luo Ming, satisfied with the defensive strength of the mystic light, said with a smile, "From now on, let's call this layer of mystic light the Mystic Gang Shield!"
"This secret technique of spirit beast possession is powerful, but it requires extremely high physical strength. It seems that I will have to work hard to hone my Vajra Skill in the future," Luo Ming thought to himself.
Although he didn't look like anything had happened when the Xuanfeng Sword struck him, he knew that his body had endured considerable pressure.
A moment later, Luo Ming withdrew the Xuanwu Cover technique and immediately felt weak all over, his blood surging, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle—this kind of fatigue was an experience he had never had in decades.
The Spirit Control Technique already records that this supernatural possession technique requires a certain level of physical strength. The stronger the body, the longer it can last. If the physical strength can reach the level of a spirit beast, the technique can be continuously used until the mana is exhausted.
He had exhausted himself in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, so this secret technique could only be used as a life-saving measure in critical moments and could not be used casually in the future.
"Let's go, let's find another deserted island and continue hunting monsters."
After taking a short break to recover some strength, Luo Ming gave instructions to the Golden Gu Elder and the Black Tortoise.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
With the help of the Level 5 Xuan Turtle, a traitor from the demon realm, Luo Ming's efficiency in hunting demonic beasts in the nearby sea area greatly increased.
Because he can not only attract demonic beasts with the essence of the demon-attracting grass, but also send the Xuan Turtle deep into the sea to drive them away, or have the Xuan Turtle disguise itself as an ordinary demonic beast to lure those high-level demonic beasts in the deep sea.
Moreover, nowadays, apart from encountering level seven demonic beasts that require him to slowly whittle them down using formations, he can easily deal with level five and six demonic beasts by having the Golden Gu Elder and the Black Tortoise work together to handle them. He spends most of his time sitting cross-legged in meditation and cultivating.
On this day, Luo Ming sat cross-legged on a bare rock on a deserted island, slowly opened his eyes, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
"The accumulation of mana during the Core Formation stage is too slow. If it weren't for the pills and spirit stones I have, plus the Spirit Eye Spring that I carry with me, it would probably take at least a hundred years to reach the peak of the early Core Formation stage."
With less than a hundred years until the Void Heaven Palace opens, he needs to reach at least the late stage of Core Formation. After all, there are a group of Nascent Soul old monsters there, and he dares not hope to have the same luck as Old Demon Han.
Now that he has the fragment of the Void Heaven Map, he will naturally go inside and take a look around, and try to gain some benefits on the outside. As for competing with that group of people for the Void Heaven Cauldron, he has no such idea for the time being.
After all, although he knew the final outcome, his involvement might change the situation, and it would be unwise to risk seizing that thing.
"Sigh, I'm thinking too far ahead. Let's focus on the present first!" Luo Ming chuckled to himself, glancing at the little ones beside him.
Of the three remaining level-four spirit beasts, the Azure Dragon made the most progress over the past year.
Unfortunately, most of the monsters in this area are water-based, and the Fat Sun Bird and the Wind Fox Beast cannot easily refine the monster cores and essences of these monsters, so in the end, they all benefited the Azure Dragon.
What pleased Luo Ming even more was that he recently used the Spirit Gathering Cauldron to directly purify the essence blood of spirit beasts, and the effect was quite good.
So over the past few months, he has often bled a few spirit beasts, put their blood essence into the Spirit Gathering Cauldron to condense and strengthen it, and then let them swallow and refine it. This cycle has greatly increased the speed at which the bloodline of the spirit beasts has been condensed.
Gazing at the Azure Dragon's massive body, nearly two thousand feet long, and feeling the increasingly refined and mellow water-attribute spiritual energy surrounding it, Luo Ming thought to himself: "It's probably only a year or two before the Azure Dragon advances to the fifth-level demon beast level." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel even more excited.
"Once all these spirit beasts advance to level five or above, we can leave all the trivial matters of hunting demon beasts to them."
Luo Mingchang's mood became increasingly cheerful as he imagined the days when he could be a hands-off boss.
At this moment, thousands of miles away on the sea, several streaks of light were flying rapidly. It seemed that three people were chasing one person closely behind, and the pursuit was extremely urgent.
"Fellow Daoist Su Yan, you can't escape now! Hand over Qingming Zhenren's treasure obediently, and we might spare your life!" A cold voice came from behind, filled with undisguised greed.
Following closely behind, an elderly man in brocade robes, while fully activating his escape light to give chase, feigned admonition, deliberately putting on a show of "sincerity": "Fellow Daoist Su Yan, we have no enmity whatsoever; it's merely for the sake of Qingming Zhenren's treasure. You are alone, and your magical power is almost exhausted; fleeing further is futile. Why not stop and discuss with us how to share the treasure? We swear we will never harm you!"
A sharp-faced cultivator beside him quickly chimed in, "Yes, Su Yan, think about it. Even if you manage to escape by sheer luck, with your spiritual energy depleted, you'll still be vulnerable to the covetous eyes of the sea monsters. You might as well surrender the treasure and find a way to survive!"
As they shouted, the group quietly dispersed, subtly forming an encirclement. The greed and ruthlessness in their eyes were impossible to conceal.
