He held the blooming Nine-Tailed Sunflower in his hand.
At this moment, Xiao Han had forcefully withstood Shangguan Yi's sword qi, as well as the Mount Qi Wolf and the skinny old man's attacks.
Xiao Han's body was riddled with wounds. His internal organs, meridians, bones, and flesh were all severely damaged. He kept vomiting blood and was on the verge of death!
The extent of his injuries this time was no less than when he was punched hundreds of times by Wu Yan in the arena.
Xiao Han could fall at any moment. He was relying on his last breath, his will, and his survival instinct to force himself to hold on.
The hidden potential in his body was completely stimulated.
This was the so-called life and death trial!
A line between life and death!
It was not an exaggeration to say that if Xiao Han could survive this, his spirit and aura would be greatly improved. Even his temperament would be transformed!
This Crouching Bull Mountain was lush with lush vegetation. There were thousands of ravines, colorful waterfalls, flowing springs, and lofty rocks.
Xiao Han ran for a full hour before he found a precipitous mountain wall.
"Demon God's Palm, come out!"
Xiao Han's left arm flashed with demonic light. The wind and clouds surged as the Demon God's Palm changed.
"Boom!"
Xiao Han used all his remaining strength and used the Demon God's Palm to forcefully carve a cave on the mountain wall.
"Cough ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han coughed out a mouthful of blood and rushed into the cave. He used gravel to seal the cave entrance before he fell down completely like a pile of mud.
"This time … this time was really too dangerous … In order to obtain this Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower, I gave it my all and almost lost my life …" Xiao Han's mind was completely blank as he lay on the ice-cold stone ground and gasped for breath.
Every time he breathed, he would feel a crushing pain in his body.
"Hua ~ ~ Hua ~ ~ Hua ~ ~"
The heat produced by the Indestructible Golden Body constantly washed through Xiao Han's body. It provided precious life force for Xiao Han who was almost exhausted.
Just like that, Xiao Han lay quietly for two hours like a beast in a cave …
"Huff …" Xiao Han opened his eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. "My life is saved. However, any random martial artists can kill me now.
My physical strength is almost insufficient for me to activate the Demon Thearch's Palm … "
"My injuries are too severe, causing the recovery speed of my Indestructible Golden Body to be much slower than before." Xiao Han silently pondered. Suddenly, an idea flashed through Xiao Han's mind …
"Indestructible Golden Body?"
"Wait!
I have already obtained the follow-up cultivation technique of the Indestructible Golden Body!
Why not take this opportunity to study and cultivate?
It might even be able to speed up the healing process! "
As he thought of this, Xiao Han did not have time to think. He silently chanted the Indestructible Golden Body.
In the blink of an eye, countless divine talismans and multicolored light shot out of his heart.
The 100 light cocoons representing the Indestructible Golden Body were neatly arranged in Xiao Han's field of vision.
The first twenty cocoons of light had already exploded, forming twenty pictures.
That was 20 moves.
Every movement had a red line wandering around.
Xiao Han had practiced the first ten moves thousands of times.
Now, he began to practice from the 11th movement.
Of course, the current Xiao Han was covered in injuries and his physical strength was exhausted. Naturally, it was impossible for him to stand up and practice. He used his consciousness and body to move freely, concentrating his mental strength to visualize the 11-20 moves of the Indestructible Golden Body.
The warm current in his body began to follow the red line marked on every picture and slowly flowed through Xiao Han's body, organs and meridians.
Gradually, Xiao Han entered a state where he forgot about himself and everything else.
He was like an old monk meditating.
All the pain in his body no longer mattered.
Everything was forgotten.
Following Xiao Han's visualization, the warm current in his body continued to grow and expand …
Before this, Xiao Han had made great progress in the first ten moves of the Indestructible Golden Body. It formed a natural circulation of warm current in his body, about the thickness of a wrist.
But later on, no matter how much Xiao Han practiced, this warm current as thick as a wrist would not increase.
However, when he was practicing the next ten moves, the warm current in his body began to expand!
Time flew …
The first ray of dawn shone through the cracks of the gravel and into the cave.
It shone on Xiao Han's body, making him feel warm.
"Hehe … I, Xiao Han, am really blessed … Hahahahaha …"
Xiao Han immediately sat up from the ground.
He slightly moved his muscles and bones, making a crackling sound like frying beans.
At this moment, the tiredness on Xiao Han's face had disappeared and the sword wound on his back had already formed a scar.
Other than his physical strength still being a little weak, Xiao Han's injuries had already recovered by more than half!
"Boom ~ ~ Boom ~ ~ Boom ~ ~"
Within Xiao Han's body, the warm current flowed like a tide!
Last night, Xiao Han had already practiced the next ten moves of the Indestructible Golden Body to the back of his hand!
The warm current in his body expanded from the thickness of a wrist to the thickness of a thigh. It had increased by one fold!
This abundant warm current was full of vitality. It rolled around Xiao Han's injured body, constantly nourishing and repairing it. It also returned to Xiao Han's internal organs and life force.
Xiao Han spat out a mouthful of phlegm. It was a part of the impurities in his internal organs that had been discharged.
"Good, this is great!
While the Indestructible Golden Body is healing my injuries, it has also strengthened my internal organs and bones to a certain extent!
Now, the warm current in my body is like a swimming dragon, like the sun and moon shining in the sky!
My life force is much more vigorous than before!
My self-healing ability has greatly improved!
My resistance to attacks has greatly improved!
This divine art is truly miraculous!
If I can master the next 80 moves, wouldn't I become an unkillable cockroach?
Hahaha … "
After enduring the most difficult night, Xiao Han's heart was indescribably proud.
He looked sideways and saw the Nine-Tailed Sunflower lying flat on the ground.
The petals bloomed and a navy green fruit spat out from the pistil. It was the size of a green date and emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
"This young master has risked his life for this thing!"
Xiao Han slightly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, letting the medicinal fragrance penetrate deep into his internal organs. Xiao Han's face immediately revealed an expression of enjoyment … "Just smelling the medicinal fragrance is so refreshing. It actually has a taste of enlightenment … Once I consume this medicine, what will happen?
Hahaha … No wonder so many martial artists are scrambling to get it … In the end, it will still be this young master who will take the spirit herb for himself!
No matter what, I will consume the spirit herb first!
Peak of the Viscera Refinement Realm … Hahahaha … "
Xiao Han grabbed the Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower and plucked the fragrant navy green fruit and directly stuffed it into his mouth!
Crack crack crack …
As he chewed, the medicinal juice rolled and overflowed with a sweet fragrance!
Waves of pure medicinal energy rushed into Xiao Han's throat and filled his internal organs.
Not long after, the dark blue fruit was completely eaten by Xiao Han, including the skin and the flesh.
His stomach was filled with majestic medicinal energy!
"Gugu ~ ~ Gugu ~ ~ Gugu ~ ~"
In an instant, his internal organs were nourished.
They let out a joyful wriggling sound.
However …
"En?
The medicinal energy of this Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower is indeed unparalleled. It is more than ten times stronger than the Profound Essence Viscera Cleansing Pill.
However, the absorption and refinement process is extremely slow … This … According to the normal speed, I will need at least half a year to completely refine the medicinal energy! "
After consuming the Nine-Tailed Sunflower Flower, Xiao Han immediately understood that to completely refine the medicinal energy, it was not something that could be done overnight.
Xiao Han frowned.
He really wanted to reach the peak of the Viscera Refinement Realm immediately and enter the Marrow Refinement Realm. He could not wait any longer. He was like a groom in the bridal room, intimately rubbing his bride's ears and temples. He was filled with the desire to do that ecstasy and could not wait any longer …
It was extremely uncomfortable for Xiao Han to wait for half a year to slowly refine the medicinal energy!
"It will take so long to refine the medicinal energy. By then, it will be too late!" Xiao Han was extremely anxious.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the cave as if someone had stopped outside.
"Eh, Brother Feng, someone has opened up a cave on the mountain wall … It seems like someone is here?" A mature young woman's voice could be heard outside the cave.
Then, she whispered.
"Brother Feng, could it be the outer sect disciple of the Cloud Rain Sect?"
"Sister Xia, don't spread the news. Let's take a look first." Another deep and steady male voice could be heard.
"If it's the disciple of the Cloud Rain Sect, then we'll just keep quiet and get rich.
Once we get the spirit herb, we'll sneak out of Crouching Bull Mountain and everything will be fine! "
"Okay, okay." The young woman's voice was filled with joy.
In the cave …
"Eh?
Those Jianghu people are relentless and are chasing after me all over the mountain? "Xiao Han's tightly knitted brows suddenly relaxed and he grinned.
"Good!
Very good!
That's great! "
A ray of light had already captured Xiao Han's attention.
Xiao Han no longer hesitated. He pushed away the gravel at the entrance of the cave and strode out.
Under the bright sunlight, a man and a woman stood outside the cave.
The man was about forty years old. He had thick brows and big eyes. He was tall and his breathing was like a mountain. His hands were empty but he was not angry.
The woman was in her early thirties. She was dressed like a young woman. She had phoenix eyes and a small mouth. She was pretty and charming.
However, she was holding a pair of mandarin duck sabers in her hands and there was a murderous aura between her brows.
"Ah ha!
Brother Feng, it's that kid from the Cloud Rain Sect. I didn't expect him to escape so far with severe injuries!
However, we still found him! "The young woman was beaming with joy.
"Kid, hurry up and hand over that Nine-Tailed Sunflower!" The young woman shouted at Xiao Han.
She waved the sabers in her hands and a cold gleam shot out.
Xiao Han patted his stomach and could not help but laugh.
"You guys are a step too late.
I've already consumed the Nine-Tailed Sunflower. "
Unexpectedly, the young woman giggled like a silver bell. "So what if you've consumed it?
You can't refine the medicinal effect anyway. I'll cut open your stomach and obtain the spirit herb all the same. "
"Oh?" Xiao Han's killing intent surged when he heard that. However, he still maintained a harmless smile on his face.
The young woman didn't seem to care about Xiao Han at all as she continued to speak.
"I'm in the middle stage of Organs Refinement. I've been unable to break through the barrier and reach the peak because I don't have any resources.
With this spirit herb, my cultivation will soar and I'll reach the peak of Organs Refinement. I'll then proceed to Marrow Refinement!
Don't you think so, Brother Feng? "
The young woman was gleeful and could not help but turn back to look at the middle-aged man.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes shone brightly. His right palm struck out like lightning and hit the young woman's back. The force of his palm shattered the young woman's heart meridian. She flew out over ten steps like a sandbag and fell to the ground.
"Brother … Brother Feng … You … You … Why do you want to kill me …" The young woman kept vomiting blood. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, horror, and hatred.
"Little Sister Xia, I also want to obtain the heavenly treasure." The middle-aged man laughed softly. "Besides, my son has also started to refine his organs.
There's only one portion of the spirit herb. Why should I share it with you?
Alright, Little Sister Xia, go in peace.
I'll take care of your sister for you … Hahahahaha … "
At this point, the middle-aged man could no longer hold back the ecstasy in his heart. He actually raised his head and laughed heartily.
The young woman vomited a mouthful of blood. "I didn't expect … You … You've always been thinking about my sister … That … that little bitch …" Before she could finish speaking, her head tilted and she died.
"Sigh … The rogue cultivators of the Jianghu are indeed cruel and sinister. They're like jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards …" Xiao Han shook his head.
"You actually dared to lay your hands on such a delicate beauty. You are truly deranged."
"Brat!
You're about to die and you still dare to make sarcastic remarks?! "
The middle-aged man grinned as he walked towards Xiao Han. His right palm hung down and a strong wind swept out, causing Xiao Han's sleeves to flutter.
"Brat, remember this. The person who killed you is' Iron Palm 'Li Yifeng!
Lest you become a confused ghost when you go to the netherworld! "
"En. Come over and hit me with your palm. Let's see if you can kill me." Xiao Han walked forward.
Li Yifeng choked for a moment before the corner of his mouth twitched.
"I think you've been beaten silly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yifeng raised his right palm. His bones and muscles exploded and his organs wriggled like a tide. With all his strength, his palm struck towards Xiao Han's chest!
"Bang!"
Xiao Han didn't dodge or evade this palm strike. He allowed it to strike his chest.
A tremendous force rushed into Xiao Han's body like a flood.
However, when this palm strike that could split a stone landed on Xiao Han's body, Xiao Han didn't even take half a step back!
Xiao Han's expression didn't change. With a smile, he gently caressed the part of his palm and said indifferently.
"It's about 30 cauldrons of strength. Your cultivation should be at the ordinary Marrow Refining Realm.
But you can't. Your strength is too weak.
Our sect's disciples have at least 50 cauldrons of strength when they reach the Marrow Refining Realm. But you only have 30 cauldrons … It seems that rogue cultivators of the Jianghu are really weak … "
Xiao Han spoke with fervor and assurance. Instead, he took a step forward and walked towards Li Yifeng.
Li Yifeng's eyes widened to the size of cow eggs. He subconsciously took a step back. His heart was filled with shock and fear. "How is this possible?
This … this Breaking Stone Palm has a palm force of 30 cauldrons. It can kill a giant elephant … Although the sect's disciples are powerful, this brat is only at the Organs Refining Realm … Why can't I kill him … "
At this moment, the heat flow in Xiao Han's body doubled. It was as thick as a thigh and surged like a tide. His ability to resist attacks had greatly increased. After being hit by this rogue cultivator's palm strike, Xiao Han only felt a slight pain. But in an instant, the heat flow in his body absorbed the palm force and turned it into a warm current that refined the Nine-Tailed Sunflower's medicinal power that had settled in Xiao Han's organs!
However, this rogue cultivator's strength was not enough to quickly disperse the huge medicinal power that had settled in Xiao Han's body. That palm strike just now had only helped Xiao Han refine less than 1% of the medicinal power!
"Impossible!"
Li Yifeng's whole body trembled as if he had seen a ghost. He gathered all the strength in his body and clapped his palms together. Palm force gushed out like raging waves sweeping the shore!
"Bang!
Bang! "The two palms hit Xiao Han's body. Xiao Han's body took half a step back.
"En, there is progress." Xiao Han slightly bared his teeth.
"It hurts a little.
Damn it, it really hurts a little.
However, your strength is still too weak. "
As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Han's left hand flashed with a demonic light. The Demon Emperor's Palm burst out. The attack that could destroy heaven and earth instantly tore Li Yifeng into pieces. His body exploded in all directions!
"This strength is still not enough to quickly disperse the medicinal power that has settled in my body …" Xiao Han slightly muttered.
"It seems that those rogue cultivators are chasing me everywhere. They want to cut open my stomach and take out the medicinal power that I have yet to refine … This is a hunting game …"
Suddenly, Xiao Han's eyes burst out with killing intent. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up.
"However, who is the hunter and who is the prey, it is still unknown!
Hahahaha! "
