After walking along the mountain wall for more than a hundred feet, not only did the human voice become clearer, but even the originally dark bottom of the lake gradually became brighter. However, this light was not the usual white, but a ball of light yellow. of light.

When the two of them approached the circle of light, they were surprised to find that on the cliff not far ahead, there were countless water plants that were as thin as cow hair and emitted a light yellow light, covering the entire cliff. After a quick glance, they found this water plant. , at least several hundred feet in diameter.

What surprised Mu Jingyu even more was that there were five blue light spots inlaid in the middle of the yellow water plants. After careful observation, Mu Jingyu discovered that among the five blue light spots, one was on top, and the other was Arranged around four o'clock, they vaguely form a human shape.

And five rays of blue light extended from the mountain wall, disappeared hundreds of feet away, and submerged into the dark lake water. It was not clear for a while where they were connected to and what bolts they were attached to. Something is on it.

Shen Mengdie pointed at the yellow water plants and said softly: "Brother Mu, look at those yellow water plants. Their shape and color are roughly the same as the yellow tea grass described by Brother Qin!"

Mu Jingyu nodded: "It shouldn't be wrong. However, I see that the place where the five blue rays of light disappeared seems to be bound to something! Moreover, the sound we just heard also came from that place. .”

At this moment, the sound that had just sounded came again. Mu Jingyu quickly signaled Shen Mengdie to silence, pulled him towards the place where the sound came from, and swam carefully over.

As the two of them got closer, the originally dark bottom of the lake finally became clear.

I saw where the five blue rays of light were connected, revealing a tall man in ragged clothes. The four blue rays of light below were just tied to the man's limbs, and the top blue ray of light was The light passed through the back of his head and hit the center of his eyebrows.

The strong man was restrained by five blue lines and could only reach a hundred feet away. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged with a wooden table in front of him, with four or five plates and a pot of wine on it.

Although these delicacies had been immersed in the lake water and had long lost their original taste, the strong man was not affected at all and ate them with relish.

"That's right, that's right. I have been trapped at the bottom of the lake for more than thirty years, and this is the first time I have tasted the delicious specialties of Dongji Shengzhou!" The strong man mumbled his praises while feasting.

Seven or eight feet away from the strong man, a man who was obviously shorter in stature smiled flatteringly and said: "Hey, if the immortal can eat well and drink well, I... I will travel thousands of miles to fetch you all the time in vain. Thank you for your hard work for such delicious food.”

After hearing this person's voice, Mu Jingyu and Shen Mengdiecai suddenly discovered that there was another person. After looking at it intently, they both couldn't help laughing.

It wasn't that his expression was too timid, but the way he was dressed was a bit amusing. He was wearing a majestic general's helmet, but he was wearing a bright red satin robe studded with precious agates. On her feet are a pair of Liuyun Feibird boots.

This outfit has all kinds of features. Coupled with his bulging eyes and wrinkled face, he looks extremely nondescript.

"Stinky toad, I think you are serious." Under the strong man's wind and lingering clouds, the table full of wine and food was eaten clean by the strong man in an instant. After touching his lips with satisfaction, he couldn't help but belched.

"Okay, I've eaten and drank enough. You can leave now. If you go to kill people, set fires, and rob property elsewhere in the future, don't forget to give me some other delicacies."

The strong man said this and was about to retreat to the bottom of the mountain wall to rest. But the man called the toad followed closely and shouted: "Oh my god, don't be too busy walking. The villain's recent practice has encountered a bottleneck.

No matter how you break through, it will be difficult to reach the innate realm. So... why don’t you bring some delicious food and wine to ask for some advice from the immortal?"

"Are you about to reach the innate realm?" The strong man stopped and looked at the toad in disbelief: "If I remember correctly, you just broke through to the peak of Guiyuan a year ago! You are about to break through so soon.

Is it done?"

Not only was the strong man surprised, but Mu Jingyu and Shen Mengdie also looked at each other, secretly feeling incredible.

This journey of cultivation becomes more and more difficult the further you go. Not to mention the toad spirit in front of you, it took only one year to reach the realm of Kaitian from the peak of Guiyuan. Even since the establishment of each sect, it only takes one year to reach the realm of Kaitian.

In a matter of years, there are only a few disciples who have advanced from the peak of Qi Transformation to the realm of Guiyuan.

What is the origin of this toad? How could he have such qualifications and cultivation? Could it be... that he could be the second King of the North Pluto?

The toad spirit was modest and arrogant, pretending to be modest and said with a smile: "Hey, it's all because of the good teachings of the immortal that a villain can make such progress. So... I hope that the immortal can continue in the future.

Don’t hesitate to teach me.”

After the strong man paused for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Okay! I admire your tenacity very much. Then stretch your arm over and let me take a look at the situation."

The toad spirit was overjoyed and quickly stretched out his arm, letting the strong man hold his wrist.

"This... that... um..." The strong man's five fingers kept tapping on the toad spirit's wrist. He hesitated to speak, making it difficult to speak.

The toad spirit was so frightened by his face that he had no idea and hurriedly asked: "Shangxian, do you see what's wrong? I hope you can tell me quickly! I... Oh, that's not right, villain.

Be sure to listen attentively!"

"Hey..." The strong man took back his palm and lamented: "Toad, do you know how you can transform from a nothing toad into a human form in just over twenty years?

From the time you first entered Concentration, cultivate all the way to the peak of Guiyuan?"

"Hahaha, Immortal! Of course this villain knows it! It's all because..." As soon as he said this, the toad suddenly stopped talking, and changed his tone and said: "It's all because of the Immortal's good teachings.

It’s only because of this villain that he achieved this.”

The strong man's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood that Toad Spirit must be hiding something important from him. But he wanted to hide it, and he couldn't reveal it right away.

Then he shook his head and said: "No, no! On the one hand, uncle, my teachings are good, but more importantly, your kid lacks five elements! That's why you can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without any scruples. In just twenty years,

From a toad to the current state."

The toad spirit laughed and thought to himself: "Hmph, talking about the lack of five elements in the five elements, this is almost a lie! If I believe your nonsense, then it is really the lack of five elements in the five elements!"

But then I thought about it, even if I had the help of ancient artifacts, I could achieve this level of cultivation in just over twenty years. It seems reasonable and reasonable, but in fact, I have a lot of doubts in my heart.

After all, I still have no way of knowing what the ancient artifact is, and I still don't know whether it is the cause of it. Maybe, as this down-and-out man said, I really have the reason for the lack of five elements?

After running through several thoughts in my mind, I decided that no matter whether he was lying to me or not, I would listen first before speaking.

"The five elements missing from the Five Elements mentioned by the Immortal...what exactly does it mean? I can't understand it for the moment. I hope the Immortal can explain it clearly."

The strong man enjoyed the toad spirit's compliments very much, and pretended to be inscrutable and said: "Hey... Speaking of which, if you lack the qualifications for the five elements, it is rare to see it in a thousand years, not even one in ten thousand! Once you have such a

constitution

In other words, in the acquired realm, the cultivation speed is indeed hundreds of times, or even a thousand times faster than that of ordinary people! But once it reaches the bottleneck between the innate and acquired realms, the cultivation speed will stagnate thousands of miles and come to a standstill."

Seeing the toad spirit's obvious disbelief, the strong man beckoned and said, "Come over here, kid!" Then he asked mysteriously: "In the recent period, when you were practicing Qigong, did you feel any tingling in your limbs?

Numb, the movement of Qi is stagnant? When you want to force a breakthrough, you feel the Dantian tearing and the pain is unbearable?"

The toad spirit couldn't help but tremble, and looked at the strong man in horror: "Shangxian, this... this... how do you always know?"

"Humph, that proves that all my guesses are correct." The strong man smiled slightly and said: "I advise you not to think about breaking through to the innate realm, but to think about how to save your life."

The strong man's last words frightened the toad spirit so much that he hurriedly asked: "Save your life? What do you mean... I'm in danger?"

"Of course." The strong man stood up straight, stretched and said, "Okay, I'll stop here. Whether you want to break through the innate realm or not depends entirely on your own decision. However, if you really want to do it,

What kind of accident happened, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Seeing the toad spirit being frightened, Shen Mengdie could no longer hold back and chuckled softly: "Hahaha, Brother Mu, it's so ridiculous... It's simply too ridiculous! Doesn't that toad know?

, when one's cultivation reaches the peak of Guiyuan and impacts the realm of Xiantian Kaitian, he will naturally be washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! The situation he experienced is too normal! He was actually frightened by that person, hahaha...

"

Mu Jingyu was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Shen Mengdie's mouth and reprimanded in a low voice: "Xiaodie, didn't you see it? Which senior just now had the intention to scare the toad spirit! Why did you take it seriously! Besides, which senior wanted to scare the toad spirit!

Yes, we are hiding here. We don’t want the two of us to find out. Isn’t your smile... isn’t it..."

Shen Mengdie immediately exclaimed, and realized it later. But her laughter just now was so loud that it attracted the attention of the strong man and the toad spirit.

"Who is hiding in the dark, why don't you show up quickly! If you dare to hide your head and tail again, I will be rude!" The toad spirit no longer cared about the strong man, and hit a wave of water with both palms, rushing straight towards it.

The place where Xiang Mu Jingyu and Shen Mengdie are hiding.

At this point, the two of them could no longer hide even if they wanted to. Mu Jingyu pulled Shen Mengdie and dodged the incoming water column, then ducked to the side of the strong man.

The toad spirit stood with his hands behind his hands, and said as if he were a master: "Hmph, I thought they were some strong men, but they turned out to be two young boys. Tell me, you sneakily hide in my room. What is the purpose of the territory!"

Shen Mengdie stuck out her tongue and reprimanded loudly: "Bah! Who do you think you are? Since you dare to call yourself the king, you also declare this place to be your territory! Aren't you afraid that the righteous sects will find out and send people to destroy you? "

The corner of Toad Spirit's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly: "It turns out that you are a disciple of the Righteous Path. No wonder you dare to speak arrogant words! However, now that you have arrived at the bottom of my Baisha Mountain Lake, aren't you the one who decides your life and death? The various sects of the Righteous Path are powerful. , we can’t come to the rescue for a while.”

Seeing the murderous intent of the toad spirit, Mu Jingyu protected Shen Mengdie behind him. The strong man suddenly said: "Toad, I'm still standing here and I'm not dead! How dare you act cruelly in front of me! Aren't you afraid of me..."

The toad spirit raised his head and laughed, interrupted the strong man's voice and said: "Humph! Din Nanxun, Din Nanxun, don't think that you will let me be fooled by what you just deceived me! If it weren't for the fact that you are more than twenty years old, In the past year, for the sake of teaching me the skills and helping me achieve the realm of Guiyuan, I would have killed you on the spot!"

Mu Jingyu screamed, "Oh! Everything you said just now was heard by the toad!"

Shen Mengdie also regretted it, and said with a hint of tears: "Brother Mu, Xiaodie didn't mean it! What should I do now, what should I do now..."
Chapter completed!
