Chapter 72 Breakthrough to the Eighth Level of the Spiritual Stage

When Xu Hei woke up, he didn't know how many days had passed.

Recalling the words in his dream, Xu Hei fell into deep thought.

"Reverse? What is reverse?"

"It's so confusing. Why do seniors like to be riddlers?"

Xu Hei didn't understand, shook his head, and simply stopped thinking about it.

He looked inside his body. The Demon God Cauldron was still the same as before. The spiritual water ball in the cauldron expanded into a pool. He broke through to the eighth level of the spiritual period without knowing it.

There was still a feeling of dizziness in his head, which was the sequelae of taking too much Explosive God Pill.

However, his spiritual consciousness was much stronger than before. The range of his spiritual consciousness reached an astonishing 200 meters.

You know, the spiritual consciousness range of a foundation-building cultivator like Hua Yuntian is only 300 meters.

This place looked familiar. It was the cave where he lived. In the cave next door, there was also the figure of Xu Bai busy refining pills.

"Huh!"

Xu Hei let out a long breath.

He was back.

Xu Hei moved a little, except for a little stiffness, there was nothing wrong.

What surprised him was that the scales on the tail had all grown.

Moreover, the number was almost doubled compared to before, covering half of the body on the tail.

"I actually grew so many scales this time when my cultivation improved?"

Xu Hei was a little surprised.

In the past, only when his physical body made rapid progress and his body was tempered to the extreme, the scales would grow wildly.

He couldn't figure it out, but it was a good thing after all.

After many tests, Xu Hei had a general understanding of the power of these special black and gold scales.

Below the Jindan stage, it is indestructible and invincible!

However, it cannot cause fatal injuries to the Jindan stage.

Those third-level flying swords only made countless small gaps instead of cutting them off directly, which shows that the sharpness of these scales also has an upper limit.

Xu Hei is already very satisfied that he can deal with foundation-building cultivators.

Of course, he will not be so arrogant as to really fight with foundation-building cultivators. If they really fight, his scales may not even touch the opponent's body, and he will be dead.

Human cultivators are notoriously fragile, but they are extremely aggressive, have many magic weapons, and have endless life-saving items.

Monsters focus more on strengthening their bodies. Even without magic weapons, they can withstand most attacks.

Xu Hei has both a physical body and magic, and he also has magic weapons to protect his body. He has multiple advantages at the same time, but it is still difficult to cross the level.

"I don't know where the old dog ran off to, otherwise I could ask him about the defects of the skills." Xu Hei muttered.

Recalling the experience of escaping death before, Xu Hei cursed Hei Huang in his heart.

What's the 90% sure? Don't believe him!

He was almost killed by the Jindan stage.

Xu Hei took out all the previous Zixiamen gains and placed them in front of him.

There were more than a dozen gourds of pills of different types, all of which were middle and upper-grade pills, and there were also second-level pills for foundation-building cultivators. There were all kinds of types.

There were five large boxes full of medicinal materials.

There are also many kinds of medicine, alchemy furnaces, alchemy jade slips, etc.

Zixia Sect, as a major alchemy sect, will never disappoint people in terms of elixirs.

"With these elixirs, there will be no shortage of elixirs before the foundation is established, and there will even be a surplus, which is enough for Xu Bai."

Xiao Peiyuan Pill, Explosion God Pill, Huiyuan Pill, Shaoyang Powder... Even the most precious foundation-building pill has two pills.

This is the harvest brought by a narrow escape from death.

Xu Hei suddenly realized that if Hei Huang had not appeared, what would he be like now?

Hei Huang had not instigated him to steal chickens, he had not gone to Linjiang City, he had not learned puppetry, and he had not gone to Zixia Sect.

Without all the risks, what would he be like?

Maybe Xu Hei is now just a snake demon who is barely in the middle stage of spiritual communication, hiding in a corner, surviving, no one noticed him, let alone launched a wanted list for him.

In another ten years, his life span will be over, and he will eventually turn into a cup of yellow soil.

Xu Hei sighed.

"A snake's life is only ten years long. If it doesn't fight against the sky, the earth, and people, what's the point of longevity?"

Xu Hei thought for a long time and stopped worrying about the risks. Since it has passed, everything is worth it.

Hei Huang, in a sense, really helped him a lot.

…………

Xu Hei came to Xu Bai's cave next door.

Perhaps because of the frequent collapse, this cave was built extra spacious, like a giant square, and it was also blessed with some kind of formation to stabilize the structure.

The alchemy furnace given to Xu Bai before was all scrapped. In front of her was a new alchemy furnace that she didn't know where she got from.

"Xu Hei, are you awake?" Xu Bai was delighted.

Xu Hei glanced at the structure of the cave. It was covered with soil everywhere, and spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs were planted, and snake trees also grew in it.

In the corner, there was also a pigpen, where a few fat pigs were raised, which should be animals used for drug testing.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Not much, not much, just half a month."

"..."

Xu Hei was speechless. He was unconscious for half a month.

Doesn't that mean winter is approaching? He has to find a place to hibernate.

However, he is now at the eighth level of the spiritual stage. Whether he still needs to hibernate like in previous years is still unknown.

"Your alchemy cave is really well made."

Xu Hei smiled, took out a lot of alchemy furnaces, medicinal materials, and alchemy jade slips, and gave them over.

Xu Hei had seen all these things, and they were not very useful to him, but for Xu Bai, who was devoted to studying alchemy, they were definitely rare treasures.

Xu Bai's eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed over, looking at these treasures with joy.

"Are these all for me?"

"Well, they are useless to me, you study them carefully." Xu Hei said.

Xu Bai was so excited that she couldn't speak, and her body was shaking.

She quickly took out a few gourds of pills and said excitedly: "Xu Hei, I will give you these pills as a reward."

"No, no! I can't afford it!"

Xu Hei's forehead was a little dark.

"Don't look down on snakes, the pills I am refining now are very useful, and dogs will praise them when they see them!"

Xu Bai raised his head and said unconvinced.

Dogs will praise them when they see them... Xu Hei secretly complained in his heart, that dog wouldn't be Er Gou.

However, since Xu Bai has a talent for alchemy, the pills should not be like before, which will kill people if eaten.

Xu Hei opened the first gourd and sniffed it. It was the scent of Dali Pills.

A common body-hardening pill that Xu Hei had taken before.

"Let's try it on a pig first."

Xu Hei thought about it and crawled to the pigpen in the corner. Here, Xu Bai raised several fat pigs, which were big and fat.

"Are these pigs for you to test the medicine?" Xu Hei asked.

"Pigs?" Xu Bai was stunned and said, "Look carefully, these are all rats, not pigs?"

"Rats?"

Xu Hei was shocked and looked closely.

I saw a large group of fat white creatures in the pigpen. A closer look showed that they were really giant rats.

Because they were too big and full of greasy fat, Xu Hei didn't look at them carefully.

Xu Hei was so shocked that he retreated several meters and said in a trembling voice, "This, this..."
