Chapter 22 Late stage of Qi refining

Zhao Zhen is still in a stalemate with Fat Monk on the battlefield.

The murderous monk no longer had the kind-hearted look on his face, his face was as gloomy as ink, and the string of skulls he had been wearing around his neck was opening and closing very regularly.

A dozen ghosts with green faces and fangs flew out from the mouth of the skeleton, and under the control of the monk, they wrapped around Zhao Zhen like maggots attached to bones.

Zhao Zhen was dressed in iron clothes and precious armor, holding a cold silver-white halberd. Although his hair was full of white hair, his eyes were like a torch, making him look like a veteran commanding thousands of armies.

I saw him yell loudly, draw a full moon with the halberd in his hand, and kill the ghost who was about to approach. Then Zhao Zhen and the halberd merged into one, breathing out like a dragon, he rushed towards the monk.

The ghost was scattered by Zhao Zhen, and the skull on the bead string cracked visibly to the naked eye.

The murderous monk picked up a golden cymbal. After injecting spiritual power, the golden cymbal suddenly became several feet in size, and faced off with Zhao Zhen holding a halberd in the air.

The monk knew that he had encountered a tough situation and did not dare to be careless. He once again activated the skull bead string with all his strength. The skull's mouth opened and closed even faster, and another group of ghosts floated out and attacked Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen knew that long-term consumption was not good for him. At this time, he had poured all his spiritual power into the halberd, hoping to end the confrontation with all his strength. He had no energy left to defend against the ghost's attack.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, let me help you!"

Zhou Yiqiao's voice came from the horizon. At the same time, five ghosts also appeared around Zhao Zhen, barely blocking the attacking ghosts.

Although the number is far less than the ghosts summoned by the murderous monk, it is enough as long as it can be delayed for a while!

The golden silk sword and the black bamboo sword flew from the sky, and the monk's ghost that had barely condensed was penetrated one by one in the blink of an eye.

When the murderous monk saw that Zhou Yiqiao, who was only in the middle stage of Qi refining, came to support him, he knew that everything was over, and the idea of ​​​​escape came into his mind.

As soon as the thought was born, the golden cymbal showed a flaw.

Zhao Zhen, who was going all out, had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. The dragon roared through the air and killed the murderous monk with his halberd.

The enemy attack was over, Zhao Zhen took off the murderous monk's storage bag, and after destroying the body and removing traces of it, the two quickly left the scene.

"I never thought that my fellow Taoist would be involved in a disaster this time. I am extremely sorry. I will definitely come to pay my respects after returning to the clan."

There was no more trouble along the way, and Zhou Yiqiao spoke first to express his gratitude to Zhao Zhen.

Although using Zhao Zhen was indeed part of Zhou Yiqiao's plan, there was always some sign of dragging people into a life-and-death crisis.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen threw away the murderous monk's storage bag and responded with a smile as usual.

"My little friend, you don't have to be like this. When I go with my little friend, I am already prepared to participate in a fierce battle."

"The murderous monk did not know what he could do. Instead, he gave the old man a lot of resources."

Zhao Zhen's words were not false. The underground auction was a mixed bag, and interceptions and interceptions often occurred after each auction. This time, Tong Zhou Yiqiao came with such psychological preparation.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with being used by Zhou Yiqiao, fortunately he was not injured after a confrontation with the enemy, and instead received a windfall.

The most important thing is to make Zhou Yiqiao owe him a favor and deepen the causal relationship between his nephew Zhao Lexin and him.

All kinds of benefits dispelled the last bit of dissatisfaction in Zhao Zhen's heart, allowing him to tell the truth.

Half a day later, the two returned to Yaoyang City.

After Zhou Yiqiao repeatedly promised that he would come to thank him, the two parted ways in front of Yaoyang City, each concealing their identity and returning to their sect.

After such twists and turns, Zhou Yiqiao breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the cave again.

"Fortunately, I was born with strong spiritual consciousness, and now I have only been weak for a while."

"Internal injuries to the internal organs are difficult to recover in a short period of time. The top priority is to treat them as soon as possible to avoid hidden dangers."

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Zhou Yiqiao looked at himself, controlled his spiritual power to cover his internal organs, and began to adjust his breath and recover.

……

Time flies like water, the war between the Yuanying sect has lasted for four months, and Zhou Yiqiao has been back from the underground auction for three months.

On this day, Zhou Yiqiao breathed out the last turbid air in his body, finally healed his internal injuries, and his consciousness returned to its original state.

"We must be extremely careful against the enemy in the future. Fortunately, we only spent a little more time adjusting this time. If there are hidden dangers, it will really outweigh the gains."

Zhou Yiqiao secretly warned himself to leave more escape routes in the future and not to advance so rashly again.

Then, he took out the Dragon Transformation Pill, intending to take this opportunity to break through the long-standing bottleneck in one go.

Calmly, he drove away the distracting thoughts in his mind and held Yuan Shouyi in his arms.

After one stick of incense, he felt that his mental state had reached its peak, and he once again tried to control his spiritual power and try to break through!

Along with the Five Elements Building Art, the spiritual power of his body circulated through the Great Zhoutian over and over again in his body. Finally, he once again felt the barrier that had been standing in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining.

Exactly now!

Zhou Yiqiao swallowed the Dragon Transformation Pill placed in front of him.

As soon as the Dragon Transformation Pill entered his belly, it immediately turned into a stream of cold air and poured into Zhou Yiqiao's Dantian.

As soon as this cold air entered the Dantian, it spread out from the bottleneck and wrapped it tightly inside.

Zhou Yiqiao looked inside his Dantian and could clearly feel that the bottleneck was slowly getting thinner.

He knew that the best moment had come, and he controlled the spiritual power in his body with all his strength, launching attacks again and again towards the gradually weakening barrier.

This feeling is not pleasant. Zhou Yiqiao's face, which has been calm for a long time, has turned red. Big beads of sweat are left on his forehead, and the sect clothes he is wearing are soaked with sweat. .

Finally, after a spiritual impact, the barrier was torn open with a crack.

Zhou Yiqiao did not dare to have any fluctuations in his heart, so he stuffed a Qingyuan Pill into the end to replenish the lost spiritual power in his body, and continued to attack the slight crack.

"Boom."

A silent crisp sound suddenly sounded in his mind, and the barrier was finally shattered by Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual power.

As the barrier disappeared, the cold air flow also disappeared.

At this moment, Zhou Yiqiao finally advanced to the seventh level of Qi refining and became a late-stage Qi refining monk!

He did not dare to neglect, refining the remaining Qing Yuan Dan's medicinal power in his body, and once again circulated the Great Zhoutian to consolidate his hard-won cultivation.

An hour later, Zhou Yiqiao slowly finished his work and opened his eyes. The joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

After breaking through to the late stage, his strength has made a qualitative leap. The most obvious thing is that his Dantian spiritual power has doubled compared to before.

At the same time, Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual consciousness has surpassed that of ordinary Qi Refining Dzogchen monks.

He had a premonition that when he advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining, his consciousness would be as powerful as that of a monk in the early stages of foundation building!
