Scraping away all the treasures in the stone chamber, Luo Xiu looked at the massive corpse of the two headed tiger.
According to the relevant records left by King Buchen Wu, the Double Headed Tongyou Tiger is a fifth level demon beast, comparable to the King of Martial Arts, with strong strength.
Such a high-level demon beast, with an immeasurable treasure value, Luo Xiu immediately raised his hand and waved, collecting the massive corpse into the storage ring.
"There is still nearly a month until the entrance assessment, so why not practice here and improve your strength during this period?"
At the entrance of this canyon, there is a dense white mist formed by formations, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed. Moreover, the vitality of heaven and earth here is quite strong, suitable for cultivation.
There are many pills in the storage ring, but Luo Xiu dare not use them recklessly, because these pills are at least fourth grade. The medicinal power contained in any one of them is not something that a Qi Hai martial artist can bear.
"The fifth level spirit gathering array device, a medium grade elemental energy stone, just these two things are enough to make my cultivation progress by leaps and bounds."
Turning around and walking into the stone chamber, Luo Xiu inlaid a medium grade elemental energy stone on top of the fifth level spiritual gathering device. The heaven and earth elemental energy quickly gathered from all directions, forming a strong mist around him.
The cultivation effect of the rich heaven and earth energy is excellent. In just half a day, Luo Xiu felt that his cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Hai Yi Chong, infinitely close to Qi Hai Er Chong.
From the first level of Qi Sea to the second level, it is the accumulation of true Qi. As long as the absorbed elemental energy is sufficient, there is basically no bottleneck in breaking through.
Take out a medium grade elemental energy stone from the storage ring, and Luo Xiu uses his technique to absorb the pure elemental energy inside.
That night, a strong and powerful aura rose from Luo Xiu's body. As the true qi continued to grow, the space in the dantian also became larger and larger, with more and more mist like true qi.
Until the Dantian reached a saturated state, Luo Xiu was unable to continue absorbing more elemental energy, and his cultivation level was elevated to the level of Qi Sea Double.
"The first diagram of the primordial law of the 'life and death wheel of the heavens'..."
The improvement of cultivation did not bring much joy to Luo Xiu, because the primordial law diagram was too difficult, and he had not even grasped the surface.
According to the spirit of reincarnation, there are a total of nine paths in this primordial law diagram. Just the first diagram is already so profound and complex, and the difficulty of understanding the eight more profound law diagrams can be imagined.
For the next month, Luo Xiu will be practicing hard in this canyon.
Compared to his martial arts cultivation, he focuses more on comprehending the Quick Sword Technique and the Heaven and Death Wheel.
Qingyun Martial Palace.
"Luo Xiu hasn't come back yet?" The Lord of Qingyun Temple, who was sitting high in the main seat, frowned. "In seven more days, it will be the day of the entrance examination. What should we do?"
"Temple Master, according to the intelligence we have, Luo Xiu went out of the city to experience on Mount Baqi two months ago. Did he encounter some danger in the mountains?" said the village chief with some concern.
"I don't think so. I don't think Luo Xiu is a reckless and impulsive person. There must be other reasons why he hasn't returned for so long."
The Lord of Qingyun Palace said in a deep voice, "What worries me the most is that Zhang Lvliang will take action against Luo Xiu."
"Do you want to send someone to Baqi Mountain to search for it?" Zhuang Nantian said.
The Lord of Qingyun Temple shook his head and said, "If he's okay, he'll come back on his own. If something really happens, it's useless to go find him."
"Haha, I heard that the genius Luo Xiu from Qingyun City is missing?"
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from outside the palace. It was the Lord of the New Stone City Martial Arts Hall who had brought people to challenge Qingyun City a while ago.
Behind the new stone temple master, Nie Xiaodie, dressed in red, followed along, her bright eyes scanning around as if searching for the trace of Luo Xiu.
"The New Stone Palace Master came uninvited, what's the point?" The Qingyun Palace Master snorted coldly and said unhappily.
"Hehe, this is not the beginning of the entry-level assessment, so I happened to come along the way and plan to go to Yunlong County City with you Qingyun Martial Palace," said the New Stone Palace Master with a smile.
The annual entrance examination is held in the city of Yunlong County, where top talents from various city martial arts halls will gather.
"Qingyun Palace Master, Xiaodie was defeated by Luo Xiu in the beginning. After returning, he diligently practiced and now has reached the level of Qi Hai. He plans to compete with him in the entrance examination this time, and what about others?" Xinshi Palace Master stroked his hair and smiled in his eyes.
"You, the new master of the Stone Palace, are well informed and know how to ask questions," said the Qingyun Palace master with a gloomy expression.
Qingyun City is adjacent to Xinshi City, and the two martial arts halls have always been in competition with each other. As the head of the martial arts hall, he has been an old rival of Xinshi Hall for many years.
Seeing the unfriendly expression on the face of the Lord of Qingyun Temple, the Lord of Xinshi Temple also smiled and said, "It seems that Luo Xiu will miss this year's assessment. Since that's the case, I won't disturb him much."
"Don't give it away!" The Lord of Qingyun Palace shook his sleeve and robe, feeling very unhappy.
Time quietly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was three more days.
The masters of the martial arts halls in various cities gathered in Yunlong County with their talents. In addition, other young talents from non martial arts halls in Yunlong County also came to participate in the recruitment assessment of the Xiaoyao Sect.
"Drive!"
When Luo Xiu rode his horse into Qingyun City, the Lord of the Martial Palace quickly received news.
"This kid, if he comes back a day later, he might really miss this assessment." Qingyun Palace Master breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Let Luo Xiu come and see me quickly!"
A moment later, Luo Xiu arrived at the Martial Hall and met with the Lord of Qingyun Hall.
Regarding his recent experience, Luo Xiu has already prepared a statement, stating that he was assassinated in the Eight Qi Mountains and suffered serious injuries, which is why he returned so late.
As for the matter of Luo Xiu killing the three disciples of Zhang Lvliang and the treasure trove of King Wu, it was not mentioned at all.
After all, the three disciples of Zhang Lvliang, two with five levels of qi and one with seven levels of qi, were simply unable to compete with his strength. If he were to say that he had killed three people, it would inevitably make people suspect that he had some special means.
Regarding the secret of the Life and Death Bead, Luo Xiu dare not be careless. The Spirit of Reincarnation has said that if some strong practitioners of the Law of Life and Death know that he has the Life and Death Bead, they will definitely kill him and seize the origin of the Law of Life and Death.
"It must be Zhang Lvliang, that old man!" The Lord of Qingyun Hall looked angry. "The three people you mentioned should be Zhang Lvliang's disciples. It's not easy for you to survive their assassination."
As he spoke, the gaze of the Lord of Qingyun Palace fell on Luo Xiu and he was pleasantly surprised, saying, "Have you reached the dual level of Qi and Sea in your cultivation?"
Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Under the desperate situation of life and death, I was lucky enough to break through."
"It's true that Zhang Lvliang's disciple had the lowest cultivation level, which was also the Five Elements of Qi Sea. He survived in this kind of deadly situation, and it's reasonable for his cultivation to break through."
As a powerhouse in the half step refining realm, the Lord of Qingyun Palace naturally knows that in the desperate situation of life and death, warriors are the easiest to break through their limits.
So many martial arts experts will travel and walk in various dangerous places, hoping to advance their martial arts skills on the edge of life and death.
"The entry-level assessment will officially start in three days. We can hurry over now and still have time."
The Lord of Qingyun Palace spoke slowly, walked out of the hall, and suddenly lifted his hair and let out a long whistle.
"Yay!"
A sharp scream came from the air, and then Luo Xiu saw a black dot in the sky constantly growing larger and landing rapidly.
As the distance drew closer, he saw that the black spot was clearly a large eagle, with black feathers and wings spread out like a black cloud, bringing up gusts of strong winds and howling.
"Black Cloud Carving!"
Luo Xiu recognized the origin of this monster, which was a mount tamed by the Lord of Qingyun Hall, a level three flying monster!
The black cloud eagle has wings spread out for over 20 meters and a wide back, making it suitable for riding.
The Lord of Qingyun Temple stepped into the air and landed on the back of the Black Cloud Carving. He looked at Luo Xiudao and said, "Come up. With the speed of the Black Cloud Carving, you can reach Yunlong County City in two days."
Luo Xiu responded with a shout, jumped up and fell behind the Lord of Qingyun Hall. His heart was filled with excitement, and he thought to himself that if he became stronger in the future, he would also tame a powerful monster as a mount, which was truly impressive.
"Hoo!"
The wings of the Black Cloud Sculpture vibrate, and the surging waves sweep around, sweeping up dust and fallen leaves in the sky.
A cold and strong wind howled as the Black Cloud Eagle flew at an extremely fast speed, causing nearby clouds to rapidly retreat.
Looking down from above, the earth is vast and everything seems so insignificant.
Two days later, a towering and magnificent city appeared in front, with blue city walls standing tens of feet high and stretching out like a mountain range, covering a vast area.
This is Yunlong County City, and the five Qingyun Cities combined are not as vast and majestic as this county city.
Yunlong County City is the residence of the Xiaoyao Outer Gate, with the Outer Gate Master personally serving as the guardian. It is said that he is a martial arts master who has reached the realm of refining gods.
More than ten miles away from Yunlong County City, the Lord of Qingyun Palace let the Black Cloud Carving fall, and the two of them walked towards the county city on foot.
At the entrance of the city, there is a bustling flow of people, with a team of well-dressed hunters going out to hunt, as well as various warriors and vendors queuing up to enter the city.
"Follow me."
The Lord of Qingyun Hall did not queue up, but took Luo Xiu directly to a side door at the city gate.
The gatekeeper was a middle-aged man who, upon seeing the token presented by the Lord of Qingyun Hall, immediately saluted and opened the side door.
A strong person in the realm of half step refining, the position of the head of each city's martial arts palace is equivalent to that of an external deacon, and naturally has some privileges.
For this Yunlong County City, Luo Xiu was here for the first time, and the Lord of Qingyun Hall was familiar with the way and took him directly to a mansion in the city.
This mansion is the temporary residence for talented individuals from the Martial Palace who are preparing to participate in the entrance examination.
"Hmm? The Lord of Qingyun Temple has arrived. Isn't that Luo Xiu from Qingyun City missing?"
After hearing the news, the other seventeen city palace lords couldn't help but be taken aback.
"That black clad boy is Luo Xiu? I heard that even among the disciples of the outer sect, there are no more than twenty people who have mastered Pure Yang Gong."
"Qingyun Martial Palace has good luck. In over 800 years, this is already the fourth person to practice Pure Yang Gong, right?"
The Lord of the Seventeen Cities Temple discussed with each other and looked at the Lord of Qingyun Temple and Luo Xiu who were walking with great strides.
"Haha, everyone, I came down a bit late, fortunately I wasn't late."
The Qingyun Palace Master walked over with a loud laugh and greeted the other Palace Masters.
At the same time, an old servant walked over and took Luo Xiu to the temporary residence of the geniuses in various city martial arts halls, waiting for the start of the entrance examination.
This is a spacious courtyard, with each martial arts genius having a separate room. When Luo Xiu arrived here, the geniuses from other martial arts temples were also curious to look at him.
"Are you Luo Xiu?"
In the courtyard, a young man in a brocade robe crossed his arms and stood in front of Luo Xiu.
"I heard that you have mastered Pure Yang Gong and defeated Little Butterfly Sister?" The young man in brocade had a disdainful attitude, staring at Luo Xiu with an unkind expression.
"So what?" Luo Xiu said lightly.
As early as on his way here, the Lord of Qingyun Palace had told him that the talents of the Eighteen City Martial Arts Hall would often compete and challenge each other before the entrance examination, so he should be careful when dealing with them.
However, Luo Xiu did not expect that as soon as he arrived, someone would provoke him immediately.
