Chapter 101: Half a Year of Leisure

  The two elders were already shocked speechless, and his mind kept lingering on this one sentence: San Shao is already in the late stage of Wu Wang!

  It wasn't until much later that he came to his senses, but by then Luo Cheng and Zhou Ying had already left. Before leaving, Luo Cheng went to see Chun Mei and Qiu Ju again, giving them a lot of cultivation resources and telling them to cultivate well.

  Luo Cheng left, and Zhou Ying returned to the Zhou residence, where she began her closed-door training.

  ……

  Time flies, and another half year has passed.

  Taihang Mountains, the unnamed great mountain where Wu Huang was killed by Wuding Clan's Xiaojikou, still stands there. The mountain is lush and green, with a large pool of water at its foot reflecting the entire unnamed great mountain.

  The four-stage howling wolf on the mountain top and the four-stage ghost crocodile in the water pool are still there, but these two demon beasts seem to have been much more peaceful in the past six months, mostly hiding in their own territory and not going out.

  Inside the unnamed great mountain, Xu Hua had been trapped in the earth's fierce fire veins for half a year. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to survive even being locked in a mountain cave for half a year, let alone the earth's fierce fire. Fortunately, Xu Hua had a habit of storing demon beast meat before he was trapped, and his spatial ring had stored quite a bit of it.

  In the midst of the earth's fierce flames, if these demonic beasts' flesh were to be taken out directly, they might have been reduced to ashes in a mere ten breaths. Fortunately, there was the existence of the Mystic Abyssal Lotus. The first time, Xu Hua was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly took out a third-tier demonic beast from his spatial ring. However, in just an instant, the demonic beast was incinerated by the earth's fierce flames.

  Later, Xu Hua learned his lesson and only took out the demon beast meat when he was near the Xuan Ming You Lian, where the temperature was about right. After being roasted by the Di Sha fire, they began to eat.

  Half a year ago, Xu Hua had just cultivated the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record", and if he put down that jade skull, he couldn't hold on for a moment. Half a year later, he was able to persist in the earth's fierce fire for three days, and every three days he would come to the vicinity of Xuanming Youlian to adjust his physical condition.

  Gurgle, gurgle

  At this moment, Xu Hua is cultivating the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record", a large amount of earth fire is burning his physical body, making his flesh stronger and his strength increasing step by step!

  At the same time, a large amount of earth fire was absorbed into Xu Hua's body. At first, it was extremely painful, and Xu Hua almost thought he couldn't hold on anymore, but in the end, he still persisted. A large amount of earth fire gradually formed a small flame the size of a star in Xu Hua's body! The earth fire that entered his body was absorbed by this flame, but the flame didn't change at all.

  In the past six months, Xu Hua had a stunning discovery. Although cultivating the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record" was extremely painful, it could actually strengthen a warrior's spiritual sense. Six months ago, Xu Hua's spiritual sense was only at the second level, but after half a year of hellish torture, his spiritual sense had already reached the third level, and he felt that it wouldn't be long before his spiritual sense would reach the fourth level. A third-level spiritual sense could easily use one's spiritual sense to open spatial rings, which was much better than having to shed blood every time they opened a spatial ring.

  "Huff... huff!"

  Xu Hua suddenly stopped his cultivation, stood up and walked to the vicinity of Xuan Ming You Lian. Looking at this Xuan Ming You Lian in front of him, Xu Hua muttered: "The cold air emitted by this Xuan Ming You Lian can also be absorbed by me!"

  After absorbing the Earth Extinguishing Flame, Xuhua felt that his own strength had increased much faster than before, which made him feel both pain and joy. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to absorb the extremely cold air emitted by the Profound Ming Youlian. In theory, it was possible. The Profound Ming Youlian could survive in the Earth Extinguishing Flame's pulse, and the extremely cold air it carried must be even more overbearing than the Earth Extinguishing Flame. If he were to absorb this cold air into his body to temper himself, Xuhua's physique would become even stronger!

  However, this is theoretically speaking. After all, Xu Hua's body has already absorbed the earth fire and formed a flame. At this time, if he absorbs the extremely cold air emitted by Xuan Ming Youlian San again, it will inevitably be injured by the explosion caused by the intersection of the earth fire and the cold air!

  At this time, Xu Hua had tempered his body for half a year and had already developed three hundred muscles throughout his body. His strength exceeded 40,000 catties, and his physique was comparable to that of the Lingzhu! Now he could take the second step within one zhang of the Xuanming Youlian. When he took the third step, he couldn't bear it.

  After half a year of consumption, there were still over 900 Life Crystals left in his body, and he didn't have to worry about the deficiency of life energy within a year. He was ready to start absorbing the extremely cold air emitted by the Xuan Ming Youlian, because he believed that with his current physique, he could already resist the explosion caused by the convergence of cold and heat. In the worst case, he could also recover quickly under the nourishment of the Life Crystals.

  However, before he began, he still needed to mobilize the life energy in his body to restore himself to peak condition. After all, after being scorched by the Earthly Fire for three days, there were still some injuries within him.

  Xu Hua's body contained a vast and profound life energy, comparable to that of even the strongest Martial Honourable.

  His body's life crystal emitted a large amount of life energy, spreading throughout his entire body, nourishing his injured physique, making a 'zhi zhi' sound. At the same time, he swallowed three drops of spiritual liquid, transforming it into his own true energy.

  At present, Xu Hua's body has already condensed thirty-six drops of true liquid. In terms of quantity, it has surpassed the amount of true liquid in the body of an ordinary martial king in the middle period; in terms of quality, under the scorching of the earth's fierce fire, the true energy in Xu Hua's body has become even more refined and pure, surpassing that of a martial king in the later period.

  Three drops of spiritual liquid entered the belly, immediately transforming into a rich spiritual energy that dispersed into the body's meridians. Xu Hua quickly absorbed and refined it, transforming it into his own true energy, which he then guided into the dantian to condense into a liquid.

  Half an hour later, Xu Hua added another drop of true liquid in his body.

  "Fifteen days have passed, and I've finally condensed another drop of True Liquid!" Xu Hua's face was filled with excitement as he immediately continued, "Let me try again to see if I can break through the Heavenly Earth Mystic Barrier!"

  Xu Hua mobilized the true essence and true energy throughout his body, gathering them all outside the Tian Di Xuan Guan within him, and began to bombard that solid 'gate'.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Under the impact of a large amount of true energy, the Tian Di Xuan Guan began to shake, and as the amplitude of the shaking grew larger and larger, it emitted bursts of thunderous sounds.

  No matter how hard Xuhua tried, no matter how loud the impact was, even if it spread to the outside, but the Tian Di Xuan Guan never opened.

  Xu Hua finally stopped his attack, and at this time, his face was somewhat pale. "Alas, although my physical body is getting stronger and stronger, the Heavenly Gate of Profound Mystery is also becoming more and more solid, I don't know what to do!"

  Under the scorching of the earth's fire, Xu Hua's physique was making progress every day, getting stronger every day. Similarly, the Tian Di Xuan Guan inside his body was also getting stronger. If this continued, it was unknown when he would be able to break through the Tian Di Xuan Guan and fly out of this sea of flames!

  Although this is a good place to cultivate, he can't put down the people outside. Luo Cheng, Luo Hou, Xiao Ying, Father and others must think that they are already dead. Xu Hua wants to go out, wants to tell them that she hasn't died yet, and ask them to rest assured.

  "Never mind, I'll just cultivate for now. Maybe after I'm completely fearless of this earth fire, I can fully cultivate my true energy and break through the Heavenly Gate in one go, becoming a Martial King!" Xu Hua muttered softly to himself, then began to cultivate the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record" within a radius of one zhang around the Xuanming Youlian, using its extremely cold aura.

  One moment...

  Half an hour...

  One time...

  Two hours!

  Xu Hua's body absorbed more and more of the mysterious cold air, but at this moment, the flame in Xu Hua's body suddenly burst out with great power to burn off the mysterious cold air. Although the mysterious cold air restrained the earth-destroying fire, the flame in Xu Hua's body condensed a large amount of earth-destroying fire.

  Rumble... Rrrrr!

  As a loud noise echoed within Xu Hua, his entire body shook violently, his face rapidly turned pale, and a strand of fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, soon to be frozen by the cold aura of the Mystic Frost, falling down.

  "Sure enough, water and fire are incompatible!" Xu Hua sighed lightly, then immediately said: "Fortunately, my physical body has been tempered in the earth's fierce fire for half a year, making it extremely strong. Otherwise, I would have been blown to death just now!"

  After finishing speaking, Xu Hua began to mobilize the life energy within his body to repair the injuries! The entire Ground Fire Meridian once again returned to calmness.

  In another part of the Taihang Mountains, a loud noise pierced through the air.

  Whoosh!

  Suddenly another figure rose from the dense forest and blocked the way of the approaching person.

  "It's you!" A middle-aged man with a black robe and a scar on his face looked at the person in front of him, saying lightly.

  "Not bad, just like my old white, by the way I still don't know what your name is?"

  "Luó Huàn!" Yes, it's Luó Huàn indeed.

  "What's with Luo? What's your relationship with Luo Cheng?" This self-proclaimed Old White was none other than Bai Qiutang, who had been away for half a year!

  "Come with me! But Luo Cheng is not here, he might be back by this time tomorrow!" Luo Hui did not respond to Bai Qiutang's words, which made Bai Qiutang mutter softly: "Really has the same moral character as Luo Cheng!"

  Watching Luo Yu going down, Bai Qiutang immediately followed him down.

  Soon Bai Qiutang followed Luo Rou to a water pool, where there were human traces everywhere, and no monster beasts could be seen, apparently they had been cleaned up.

  Following Luo Rou, they arrived at a simple wooden house. Bai Qiutang asked again: "Has this guy Luo Cheng been like this for half a year?"

  "Ever since the young master left, Luo Cheng has been training frantically like a madman. In these six months, he's been seriously injured countless times and nearly died! All for the sake of avenging the young master as soon as possible!"

  "Luocheng usually comes back once every ten days, going deeper into the Taihang Mountains to hunt for even bigger prey. Today is already the ninth day, and if nothing unexpected happens, he'll be back tomorrow!"

  Just as Luo Yu was talking with Bai Qiutang, a chaotic noise came from outside.

  "Someone's coming?" Bai Qiutang reminded.

  "Looks like they're back!" Luo said faintly. After finishing speaking, Luo was about to go out, but then he turned around and said to Bai Qiutang, "You come too!"
