However, hastily casting a spell can only achieve this effect.
Although the airwave temporarily protected the old Taoist, these black hairs were like strands of thread constantly entangling, exceptionally tough, without any damage.
All the cultivators present knew this, and taking advantage of this time, the old Taoist raised his hand andsacrificed a piece of white jade token.
Several Qing blackpatterns on thetoken instantly lit up, and the jadetoken also turned crimson. Then, the old Taoist threw the jadetoken into the air above his head, and the jadetoken shattered with a snap, from which a thick pillar of fire rushed out.
It was seen that the pillar of fire soared into the sky, turning into a semi-circular flameshield which also protected the old Taoist, these magic tools seemed to have wonderful uses.
The flameshield firstexpanded and contracted a few times, and alump of black-red fireball wassqueezed from the top of theshield.
Without seeing the old Taoist cast a spell, the fireball flashed,swaying a few times, and suddenly elongated into a fire snake, circling around the old Taoist a few times.
The old Taoist, with one handcontrolling the ironruler to constantly release goldenrunes, and the other handholding the white jadetoken, theBroken Jade Foundation peak cultivation base of his body completely erupted.
The attacks he released spread out in all directions, and for a moment, bursts of explosions were heard.
Although the old man's attack was not strong, he was smart enough to direct all these attacks in one direction.
Immediately, he blasted a big hole in the black hair surrounding him, and the old Taoist rushed out of the black hair'sencirclement without hesitation.
Clang!
As soon as the old Taoist escaped, a flash of bluelight appeared before his eyes, and two ice-blueshort spears crossed andstabbed straight at his head.
In such a crisis, the old man leaned to the side andplaced horizontally the ironruler in his hand, narrowly dodging the attack of the twoshort spears.
But before he couldattend, the sound ofwind breaking came from behind his head, and a cyan-black big hand grabbed towards him, targeting the back of the old Taoist's head.
On the big hand,blue veins bulged, and sharpbeast claws grew on the originally human arm. If this claw slapped on his head, the consequences would be dire.
Seeing such a critical moment, the green-robed old Taoist suddenlylowered his figure, and then rolled on the ground without anyregard for appearance, just dodging the attack.
Still on the ground, the old Taoistagilely flipped over a few times, and stood up again more than thirty feet away. At this moment, the old Taoist's hair wasdisheveled, and his face was abnormallygloomy.
And where the old Taoist was standing just now, the half-human, half-tiger male cultivator was looking at the old man with afierce look, and the black hair on the head of the female cultivator beside him surged a few times at this time, shortening a lot, revealing the female cultivator's face.
At this moment, the woman's eyes wereemerald green, her face was frighteningly pale, and on half of her face, some greenpatterns flickered, and upon closer inspection, they were actually some greenscales, which looked quiteghostly.
The old Taoist coldlysnorted, and the fire snake outside his body shook and turned into a ray of fire, attacking the man and woman who had justambushed him.
Seeing the fire snake attacking, the half-human, half-tiger male cultivatorroared and waved his hands in front of him, and more than a dozenwind blades flew out from his hands,head-on hitting the fire snake.
The fire snake wascut into severalsections at once, but the broken parts were stretched again, revealing some goldenspiritual patterns.
It turned into a fireball, attacking the malecultivator unabated. For a moment, more than a dozen thick fireballs appeared in front of the malecultivator. Seeing this, the malecultivator roared again, retreating instead of advancing, and his body shone with a graylight, insteadrushing into the many fireballs.
Only a few muffledspluttering sounds were heard, and the fireballs exploded one after another, and a tall figure rushed out, its direction being where the old Taoist was standing.
But at the same time as the malecultivatorrushing over, the old Taoist changed his position andran towards Zhang Ling.
These movements, although they sound long, did not take long to happen. Zhang Ling saw the old Taoist coming towards his position and acted.
This old Taoist's strength is indeed not bad. Facing two Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators with considerable strength, although he was embarrassed, he was not injured.
Abuzzing soundsounded in front of Zhang Ling, and apatch of copper ringphantom flashed, and attacked towards the old Taoist.
But the copper ringsscattered inmid-way, turning into two attacks, three of the copper ringscombined in the center, becoming a giant ring half azhang wide,flying past the old Taoist.
Several crispsounds ofresistance, hit the femalecultivator closely following behind the old Taoist. Seeing the femalecultivator shake the twoshort spears in her hand,scattering the giant ring.
The other copper rings were stretched, and were alsoblocked by the old Taoist whorushing towards him.
Seeing that he had blocked the femalecultivator and the old Taoist, Zhang Lingdodged andflicked, and a thickvine wasthrown out by him.
It was seen that the blacklight on thevinelit up, and some of thevine characters became several times larger, like a hugetree vine,moving on the ground a few times, and arrived at the enemy's side.
And this did not start attacking, but suddenly grew out of a fewtinybranches.
Then thetips of severalbranchessplit open like flowers,revealing the things inside, a small blackgourd.
In the muffledsounds of a fewbang bang bang, the blackgourd on thevinebranchesexploded at once, releasing a layer of purple-blackmist, trapping the old Taoist and the femalecultivator inside.
This is the Seven-Colored Smoke that Zhang Ling hasnewly researched, which isfused with several newly collectedpoisonous herbs. Its power is much stronger than the previous Five-Colored Smoke.
At most, the Five-Colored Smoke can only deal with cultivators with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, but this Seven-Colored Smoke, if cultivators with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage are notprepared, if they take a sip, theirmana will immediately notoperate smoothly, and their strength will be greatly reduced.
In the first arena competition before, he used this poisonous smoke to easily defeat a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.
At this moment, it is more suitable to fight.
howl!
Suddenly, ahowl full of violence entered his ears. From the purple-black smoke, one person rushed out. It was the half-human, half-tiger malecultivator.
Zhang Ling remained motionless, and the Golden Moon Wheel in his handlit up,released out. The Golden Moon Wheel will change into a goldenlight andcut towards the malecultivator.
It was seen that this malecultivator was alsobrave and unusual. The spiritual power on his bodycondensed, andinstantly his armswelled two more circles, completely turning iron-black.
Facing the attack of thetalisman treasure, this personcombined his hands,forciblycaught the attack of the Golden Moon Wheel.
Although this was the case, Zhang Ling moved his divine sense, and the Golden Moon Wheelexerted its full power. It was seen that the Golden Moon Wheel wasrapidlyrotating in the middle of his arm, and countlesstinyknife marks appeared on the malecultivator's arm.
ah!
The malecultivator also seemed to have reached his limit, screamed, and was beatenbackwards severalzhang away, falling to the ground.
"I admit defeat."
A coldlight flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes, the Golden Moon Wheellit up, and was about tokill this person, but the malecultivator's voice came.
The Golden Moon Wheel alsostayed in front of the malecultivator's chest, only one step away, it could be divided into twosections.
Zhang Ling expressionlessly pointed at the Golden Moon Wheel, and the Golden Wheelshot back. At the same time, the purple-black smoke in front of himdissipated most of it, firstrevealing the old Taoist and the femalecultivator inside.
The old Taoist's face wasgreenish-black, and the flameshield on his body wasdimmed most of it. At this moment, he waspantingroughly, quiteembarrassed.
The femalecultivator was even moremiserable, seeminglyinhaled a few more mouthfuls of Seven-Colored Smoke,falling to the ground unconscious.
"Fellow Daoist, do you admit defeat or fight again?" Zhang Ling stared at the old Taoist and asked softly.
"This humble Taoist admitsdefeat."
The old Taoist'smouthtwitched a few times, and he reluctantly said the words of admitting defeat.
He asked himself that among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, few were his opponents, but things are unpredictable. This time, he encountered two Demon Refiners. This kind of troublesomecultivator made him a little caught off guard.
Although the old Taoist was not afraid, Zhang Ling's Seven-Colored Smoke did not bring him any substantial damage.
But after a fight, the old Taoist's spiritual energy was only more than half left, and he saw Zhang Ling using treasures such astalisman treasure to instantly defeat a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Demon Refiner. The old Taoist could only sigh in his heart.
After the old Taoist and the malecultivator admitted defeat, they left the arena.
Zhang Ling stood alone on the arena, thinking about the male and femalecultivator just now.
Theheterogeneous cultivation method of the Demon Refiner is indeed sometricks. They seem to be using the Demon Refiner's "demonization" means.
The two of them were originally in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and aftercasting thedemonization secret technique, their strength increased a lot. They were no longer weaker than the Peak of Foundation Establishmentcultivators.
This kind of secret technique that can increase strength in a short time is not common in the cultivation world. Although these kinds of secret techniques have some hidden dangers, if used well, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory in battle.
What's more…
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling glanced at thevine he released on the ground. At this moment, thevine on the ground has become dry and fragile, and most of it has turned into gray-greenashes.
Thisvine istransformed by thevine threads split from the strangevine on the body.
In the eyes of outsiders, he used thevinetechnique, but in fact he did not put anyvine seeds. The splitvine threads can achieve the same effect as thevinetechnique, and it is faster to cast.
Thevine parasitic on the body is also a kind of spiritual plant, and can also be said to be a kind ofdemon vine.
Zhang Ling has been researching strangevine for a long time, and for this reason he alsoconcurrently cultivated the Xuan HunDemon Refining Technique. Thistechnique has many similarities with the cultivation method of Demon Refiners.
He noticed it before. Now that he has arrived in Myriad Manifestations City, it is not far from Remnant Moon Peak, where Demon Refiners gather. It seems that he has time to look for a few Demon Refiner's cultivation methods to study.
Thisthoughtturned in Zhang Ling's mind, hereleased his divine sense andobserved thebattles on the other arena.
The most important thing now is tocondense the GoldenElixir.
……
Thebattles on the other arena were also very fierce, andbursts ofloud noises came from time to time. Thesecultivators have at least the strength of the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. When they fullymove, whether it is a magic tool or a spell, its power is not small.
After a little half an hour, only one winner was left in the seven arena. Manycultivators were injured. In this arena competition, twocultivators were killed, which was extremelytragic.
Under Zhang Ling's observation, in addition to the Fire Cloud Island he occupied, there were seven islands.
The other two islands with middle-grade spiritualveins, Iron Mountain Island was occupied by a yellow-clothed femalecultivator, and this woman was also at the peak of Foundation Establishment cultivation.
The Twin Serpent Island was occupied by a late-stage Foundation Establishment malecultivator wearing abamboo hat, which was a bit unexpected.
Of the remaining four islands, the winners of two of them were peakcultivators.
Subsequently, the seven people who won followed the GoldenElixir stage young man to a stone house, where theyhandled the island entry procedures.
Zhang Ling hesitated for a while when choosing the time limit for owning Fire Cloud Island, but in the end he spent a full 10,000 spiritual stones to rent it for a hundred years.
In other places, those who are qualified to own a middle-grade spiritualvein are mostly GoldenElixir stage experts. Of course, there are also some immortal cities that have this level of spiritualvein for external rental, but the cost is frighteningly high.
Ten thousand spiritual stones for a hundred-year time limit is already very cheap, but then the young man answered this doubt for him.
Because these islands that are sold to the outside world do have spiritualveins, and they are also under the control of Myriad Manifestations City, but Myriad Manifestations City is not the kind of sect-natured force, and it is very loose in management and does not guarantee the safety of the islands.
That is to say, if othercultivators attack the islands, Myriad Manifestations City is not responsible for the safety of the islands.
This is a very big hidden danger, which is related to one's own safety.
Of course, Zhang Ling also got atoken of Fire Cloud Island, saying that it is theproof of owning Fire Cloud Island. When encountering danger, you can use thistoken to release ahelp message.
But the cost is calculated separately. Generally, this kind of island is attacked, and it is not something that ordinarycultivators can manage. Basically, the GoldenElixir stagecultivators of Myriad Manifestations City solve it.
Hearing this, Zhang Lingsecretly slandered, it seems that the safety of the island still needs to be considered by himself, and it is no wonder that the cost is not high.
But apart from this hidden danger, Zhang Ling is quite satisfied to be able to own a separate middle-grade spiritualvein.
After all, he has a lot of secrets, and if he chooses acave dwelling in Myriad Manifestations City, which is full of high-levelcultivators, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be noticed by some high-levelcultivators.
This Fire Cloud Islandtoken, in addition to being theproof of Fire Cloud Island, also has some privileges. One of them is that you no longer need to pay the city entry fee when entering and exiting Myriad Manifestations City.
After reaching the qualification of Fire Cloud Island, Zhang Ling left the WhiteChen Hall and returned to the outermost periphery of Myriad Manifestations City.
……
Three days later
Zhang Ling saw from a distance that in a clear sky, an island was surrounded by a large area of red clouds, and thecondensed and unsscattered clouds were constantlyrolling over, which was also a differentscene.
This is the large island "Fire Cloud Island" that was won by the competition.
Fire Cloud Island is five or six thousand miles away from Myriad Manifestations City, and the other islands with spiritualveins closest to this place are also a hundred miles away. The location of this island is also quiteremote.
Zhang Lingcontrolling the flying boat, firstflying in the area of more than ten miles near Fire Cloud Island, and did not find thetrace of other people. Only then did hepass the fire cloud and enter Fire Cloud Island.
The overall area of Fire Cloud Island is not large. The southwest side is a black-red rock area, with several volcanoesemittingrolling clouds.
The remaining area has very littlevegetation, which can be said to be desolate. If it weren't for a spiritualvein in this place, I am afraid no one would come to visit.
Zhang Ling first spent most of an hour carefullychecking the entire Fire Cloud Island with his divine sense. It was not until nearly evening that he came to a mountain peak on the northernmost side of the island.
The spiritualvein is in this mountain peak.
