Chapter 561: New Discoveries

as instantly terrified out of his wits. With a cry, he pushed his palm forward, and a small brown wooden shield grew from his palm to a large size, just in time to block it.Let me know if you have any...A lone figure moved slowly through this area of low visibility, pausing frequently and resting along the way. They took a seat to recover their depleted magical energy.

Although these group of Jindan cultivators were quite powerful and this strange place had few monsters, there would occasionally be a sandstorm that swept across the sky. Even they would find it difficult to walk in the storm, and if they weren't careful, they could be swept away by the wind. Let alone flying through the air, once the sandstorm arrived, it was even difficult to land on the ground. Therefore, their journey wasn't very fast.

Thus, the consumption of mana naturally increased considerably.

At this time, Lu Xiaoxian and the others each sat in a corner, not speaking to each other. Jueyuan and Xiongba, two powerful figures, looked down on each other from their lofty positions, while Chi Yun Sang and Tie Shi She had a previous grudge against each other, further fueled by Tie Shi She's previous trickery against Chi Yun Sang, making the latter's resentment towards him evident. As for Lu Xiaoxian and Chi Yun Sang, they deliberately kept their distance to avoid attracting attention from others, speaking only when necessary.

...But no one knew that Lu Xiaoteng and Chi Yun Sang had secretly swapped their storage bags. One contained the spirit objects Chi Yun Sang had collected, a motley assortment of course, and to Lu Xiaoteng's disappointment, it didn't include the Zhi Mu Yan Sui. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed about that. However, he didn't dwell on it too much after all, the Zhi Mu Yan Sui was so valuable, for Chi Yun Sang to willingly give it to him was truly astonishing. If Chi Yun Sang didn't want to use it after coming out to exchange for the Jie Ying Dan, then it was most likely that she had already consumed it herself...

Most talismans, magic weapons, and even Lu Xia Tian's own abilities wouldn't be of much use to him. After all, the strength of a Jindan cultivator primarily comes from their own cultivation. Aside from extremely rare exceptional cases, few treasures could significantly boost a Jindan cultivator's power in a short period. Otherwise, what would years of hard work be for They'd all just want to take shortcuts. In reality, those who constantly seek shortcuts often end up with unstable foundations and ultimately suffer losses that outweigh any gains.

“A peak Ninth-Rank celestial hawk soul and a mid-Ninth-Rank snow demon bear soul!” When he saw two bottles containing the sealed souls of these Ninth-Rank celestial beings in the storage bag, Lu Xiaoteng was instantly overjoyed. He had torn his face with Wang Duo before, and it took him a lot of effort to get one Ninth-Rank Imperial Eyed Demon Deer soul fragment. Unexpectedly, he now got two without any effort. With three Ninth-Rank monster souls in hand, Lu Xiaoteng’s courage grew considerably. As long as he secretly refined them, his strength would undoubtedly increase again.

"Huh There's another set of hawk-shaped techniques" After putting away the two ninth-order demon beast cores, Lu Xia Tian rummaged through Chi Yun Sang's storage pouch again and found a jade tablet. The jade tablet had several lines of incantations, depicting the path of the technique's operation. There were also images of a powerful black eagle soaring, landing, pouncing, extending its claws, and pecking prey, all vividly depicted.

The pattern above is quite similar to the nameless snake-shaped kung fu that Lu Xia Tian discovered on the black scales last time. It's just an extra mantra. Lu Xia Tian didn't want to cultivate too many kung fu techniques, after all, greed leads to indigestion. But when he was cultivating the nameless snake-shaped kung fu on Xuehu Island, the snake-shaped kung fu and his own physical training method, "Taihao Battle Body," surprisingly coincided with each other. Or rather, the two kung fu methods seemed to have signs of fusion, which made his close combat ability rise rapidly. Because he swallowed snakes, pythons and other creatures' primordial spirits and used the "Devouring Soul Dafa", compared to swallowing the primordial spirits of other monsters, his combat power was significantly higher.

And at this moment, seeing these precepts of the Eagle Form Kung Fu, Lu Xia Tian didn't feel them awkward at all, instead, there was a faint sense of familiarity.

“Is it because of the inclusiveness of Taihao's combat body again” Lu Xia Tian was puzzled. Taihao’s combat body didn’t come with powerful attack skills, but its powerful inclusivity was something other techniques couldn’t compare to.

>

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Lu Xia Tian started practicing the Eagle Form Kung Fu on the jade stele. Apart from the first two cycles which felt a bit awkward, the rest quickly became smooth and flowing, giving Lu Xia Tian a feeling as if he had practiced this technique for many years. However, Lu Xia Tian knew this feeling came from his cultivation of the Ta Hao Battle Body, not from the Eagle Form Kung Fu itself.

Lu Xia Tian curled his fingers into claws, circulating his qi to the tips of his five fingers. He felt his fingers becoming as sharp and piercing as an eagle's talons. With a casual swipe at a nearby rock, the hardened stone was instantly chipped away by his grasp.

Lu Xia Tian couldn't hide his excitement. His quick mastery of the eagle-shaped technique exceeded his expectations. What excited him wasn't just the immediate increase in power, but the discovery of a path to improve his strength.

This is the end of a paragraph.

In the past, when he used the Swallowing Souls Art, his strength would increase because he had cultivated the Serpent Style Technique and consumed the primordial spirits of snakes and pythons. Now, he has also practiced an Falcon Style Technique, and after refining the primordial spirit of this nine-tier peak demonic falcon, his level of improvement will definitely be higher than that of other primordial spirits. Moreover, while he is running the Falcon Walking Technique, the Taihao Combat Body Technique is also running, and he can instantly switch to the Unnamed Serpent Style Technique without any pause.

“Judging by the current situation, due to the inclusiveness of the Taihao War Body, it may be possible to learn other monster's techniques in the future. When absorbing the essence and soul of other monsters, combat power can also get further enhancement!”

A gleam flashed in Lu Xia Tian's eyes, like discovering a new continent. For a Jindan cultivator, every point of strength improvement was not easy, let alone the Soul Devouring Technique, which increased by more than just a little. Now he is because his cultivation level among many Jindan cultivators belongs to the lower level, after all, his time to form a pill is not long. He had to rely on various means to strengthen his own strength. Moreover, the opponents he encountered were not weak, so the power of the Soul Devouring Technique was not obvious. Once his cultivation reached that of other Jindan cultivators, the improvement brought by the Soul Devouring Technique would be equivalent to taking another step forward at the top of a hundred-foot pole, coupled with his own cultivation base, it would be enough to crush cultivators of the same level. As for Lu Xia Tian, he hadn't realized that his vision didn't stay at the Jindan initial stage, and more often compared himself to those Jindan mid-stage, even Jindan late-stage cultivators.

Even a cultivator with exceptional aptitude needs time to accumulate cultivation, and any secret method that can extra enhance combat power is extremely precious. This discovery is naturally so for Lu Xia Tian.

It seems like I've really struck a bargain this time. Lu Xia Tian was in high spirits, continuing to rummage through the storage bag for other items. To say that Chi Yun Sang had quite a lot of things was an understatement. It seemed that the cultivators and monsters who died at his hands were not few in number. However, considering Chi Yun Sang's strength, this was normal.shan's warning to heart. In his view, Cheng Santong's previous divine abilities were nothing but decorations, easily crumbling with a single push. They couldn't withstand his few strikes; he had seen...
