Chapter 35: Cultivating too fast has hidden dangers

The white-bearded old Taoist's face turned green and white, and he gritted his teeth. After taking a pill, his speed suddenly increased, turned into a rainbow, and chased the old dog.

Xu Hei fled in a different direction, easily escaping the pursuit.

The white-bearded old man didn't notice him at all.

"Old dog, you wish for your own good. I'll find a place to refine it first."

Xu Hei didn't care whether the old dog was dead or alive. He killed the three spirit-tailed chickens, put them into a storage bag, walked around for a long time, found an uninhabited forest, and hid in a natural cave.

Xu Hei had a premonition that by refining these chickens and combining them with the pills he had captured before, he could easily reach the peak of the sixth level of the psychic stage and step on the threshold of the later stage.

Sure enough, the greater the risk, the greater the reward, Xu Hei still admits this.

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.

Just when it was getting dark.

Suddenly, there was movement at the entrance of the cave, and a wolfish black figure ran in, panting and sweating like rain, lying on the ground, breathing out with his tongue.

It's that old dog!

"You're not dead?" Xu Hei asked in surprise.

"Who said I'm dead? Damn it!"

The old black dog was cursing, with nothing in his hand, and cursed: "In order to distract the old man, I was forced to abandon three spirit-tailed chickens. I worked in vain. I'm so angry."

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his face turned green with anger.

Xu Hei followed his usual practice and went out to check if anyone was following him. After the old dog's repeated assurances, he returned.

Xu Hei took out three spirit-tailed chickens, hesitated for a moment, and a flash of pain flashed in his eyes. Then he took out one of them and handed it over.

"Huh?"

This time, it was the old black dog's turn to be surprised. He looked at Xu Hei with a surprised look on his face.

"We agreed before that we would split it 50-50. I got three and I will give you one and a half." Xu Hei said helplessly.

If the old dog hadn't diverted the enemy away, he wouldn't have obtained the three chickens so smoothly. According to the previous agreement, all harvests would be divided equally. Xu Hei was not an unreasonable snake, and he still had this spirit of contract.

This move really surprised the old black dog for a long time.

"I suddenly feel that you don't look like the disciple I taught!" said the old black dog.

"I have never admitted that I am your disciple." Xu Hei retorted.

The old black dog smiled nonchalantly, grabbed the spirit-tailed chicken, and said, "I only want one, and I'll give you the other half."

Xu Hei stopped being polite. After swallowing two chickens, he started refining on the spot.

The old black dog looked at the chicken in his hand, took out the charcoal fire, wooden frame, and iron pot, and planned to make a pot of soup.

At the same time, he also took out many precious medicinal materials, which were brilliant and full of spiritual energy.

He licked the corner of his mouth and smiled inwardly: "This silly apprentice, those three chickens were eaten by me a long time ago, and yet he foolishly gave me one. How naive."

After Xu Hei swallowed two chickens, the spiritual energy droplets in the Demon God Cauldron quickly reached a 100% perfect state and headed towards a higher level.

But this time, as the spirit-tailed chicken was digested, Xu Hei was still unable to cross that layer of obstacles.

Xu Heijiao was full of energy and shouted in his heart.

"break!"

The Demon God Cauldron shook slightly, and the spiritual energy droplets in the cauldron trembled sharply and compressed inwards, but they were always weak. Xu Hei tried several times, but the compression always failed.

Xu Hei was a little anxious. This was not the first time that this situation had occurred. He had also encountered similar situations before when he broke through the middle stage of psychic communication.

This only shows that two chickens seem not enough.

At this moment, Lao Gou's pot of chicken soup was almost simmering. He put in many elixirs to make the whole soup full of aroma.

He also saw Xu Hei's condition and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Break it for me!"

Xu Hei's eyes were bloodshot. This was the trophy he had risked his life. He would not allow himself to fail.

This time the chicken theft was discovered, the next time the danger will be even greater. Perhaps, this is the only chance!

The spirit-tailed chicken in the belly is digested quickly, and there are less and less, but it is still one step behind.

After looking at it for a long time, the old dog sighed.

"Forget it, let me help you."

After all, the old dog couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the bottom of the pot, and the medicinal materials put into the pot immediately flew up, ignited in mid-air, turned into liquid medicine, and gradually merged.

After a long time.

A round pill was completed under the control of Lao Gou. With a flick of his finger, the pill flew out, spread out in mid-air, and sank into Xu Hei's body.

Xu Hei knew that this pill was a relatively rare Aphrodisiac Pill, which could increase the probability of breaking through the realm during the Qi refining period.

As the Chongqiao Pill entered the body, the Demon God Cauldron seemed to be catalyzed by a strong external force, and the spiritual energy droplets inside instantly boiled and compressed inwardly involuntarily.

…………

On the southern border of Chu State, Xiaoyao Sect.

After searching for two days with no results, Elder Zhou returned to the sect and issued a sect mission.

"All disciples listen to the order and track down this dog. Those who kill it will be rewarded with ten spiritual stones, those who capture it alive will be rewarded with twenty, and those who find it and report it will be rewarded with ten."

"There seems to be a black snake accomplice next to this dog. The discoverer will be rewarded the same as above."

Elder Zhou posted the portrait of the black dog in the most conspicuous place at the mountain gate.

At the same time, he also arranged to issue this wanted order to nearby counties and towns.

However, he didn't see the black snake clearly and didn't have a picture. He only knew that it was black and very sinister. It even stole three Spirit-tailed Chickens.

After the news came out, everyone who heard it was in an uproar. They even dared to steal the chickens of the foundation-building monks. One or two of these monsters became spirits.

…………

A few days later.

With the help of the old black dog, Xu Hei finally broke through to the sixth level of the spiritual stage without any danger.

After that, he took two bottles of Qi Condensation Pills and spent a week to improve his cultivation to the peak of the sixth level of the spiritual stage.

The next step is the late stage of the spiritual stage.

These two breakthroughs took less than half a month in total, which was much faster than Xu Hei's previous breakthroughs.

"Haha, I said that as long as you follow me, I will guarantee that you will reach the late stage in one month. I didn't lie to you!" The old black dog laughed.

Xu Hei nodded.

Thinking about it carefully, this old dog didn't do anything bad except pretending to be a mountain god at the beginning and deceiving him. On the contrary, he helped him a lot.

"If that place is discovered, I will not steal chickens again, even if I kill myself." Xu Hei said.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I can't always grab one place and keep stealing. I'll change to another one next time." The old black dog said slyly.

Xu Hei hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is no need to rush for a month. I want to consolidate my realm a little bit before trying to break through to the late stage. It doesn't matter if it takes a year or two."

This breakthrough almost failed, which still made Xu Hei a little alert.

Although his cultivation realm has progressed rapidly, the improvement of his physical strength is very limited. Unlike before, he accumulated for more than half a year and broke through once, and his physical body also transformed.

From the number of scales on the tail, it can be seen that this time, there is only one more black gold scale, which is extremely abnormal.

Humans mainly cultivate true qi, and monsters mainly cultivate the body.

Xu Hei doesn't want to put the cart before the horse and imitate humans to pursue true qi. He wants to make his physical strength reach the perfect level.

The big black dog touched his chin, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "What you said makes sense. Then go back and recuperate for a while, just in time to teach you something."

"Yeah." Xu Hei nodded.

In fact, there is another reason-he has been making too much noise recently, and he wants to avoid the limelight.

In the days that followed, Xu Hei spent every day tempering his body.

The method was simple, which was to use the earth escape technique to drill deep underground, and rely on the powerful pressure of the earth to make the body bear the weight.

This was taught by Lao Gou, but he had to control the speed so as not to be exhausted after going down and unable to come up.

Xiaoyao Sect also dispatched many monks to search in the mountains and forests, but Lao Gou's nose was extremely useful, and he could always detect it in advance, as if he had predicted the future, so that they could avoid it early.

Halfway through, Xu Hei asked Lao Gou's name.

Lao Gou was shocked when he heard it.

He raised his head and put his hands on his waist, and said arrogantly: "My name is so big. Back then, everyone knew about Tianqiong Star. Everyone knew it. It could make the powerful change color, stop children from crying, and sweep across the world without a rival. It was exactly me..."

He was about to say the name of Tianmo Sanren, but he felt that with Xu Hei's brain circuit, he might not understand the domineering nature of this name, and he might even talk about it everywhere.

So, he changed his words and said, "Since I am black, I will be called Black Emperor."

"Black brother?"

"Emperor's Emperor!"

"No, if you are called Emperor, then I am inferior to you. I see that you are big, so I will call you Big Black."

"Damn! How is this the same as a dog's name?"

"Aren't you a dog?"

After a dispute, the old black dog decided to take a step back and change his name to Black Emperor, but Xu Hei still strongly opposed it. The old dog had no choice but to change Emperor to Huang, the yellow of yellow.

Xu Hei gave up.

"Before, you asked me if I knew Tianmo Sanren. I think this name is good. It sounds evil and is very suitable for taking the blame. In the future, if we do something bad, we will say that it was done by Tianmo Sanren. If we do something good, we will say that it was done by Xu Hei and Hei Huang." Xu Hei laughed.

"..."Hei Huang was dumbfounded.

…………

That day, Xu Hei returned to his territory.

As they were getting close to home, Xu Hei looked into the distance and saw thick smoke rising from behind the mountain, dyeing the sky black.

"What is that?"

Xu Hei raised his head with a look of surprise on his face.

Hei Huang climbed up the branch, jumped into the air, and looked into the distance.

After landing, he spread his hands and said, "What else could it be? It's on fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hei's muscles bulged all over his body, and he ran forward at an unprecedented speed in an instant.

Hei Huang was stunned for a long time, muttering, "It's just a forest fire, what's the big deal?"

But after he finished speaking, he also felt something was wrong, so he quickly accelerated and followed behind.
