Chapter 23
【Your realm has been improved】
【You have reached the half-step innate state!】
【Please look for the innate spiritual treasure and advance to the innate realm】
【Your Innate Spiritual Treasure: 0/1]
Outside the mountain temple, a thin young man knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked quietly at the mist-shrouded mountains.
After this battle, Chu Li's realm has improved again, and he has reached the half-step innate realm. As long as he has an innate spiritual treasure, he can immediately reach the innate realm.
However, the power brought by the improvement of realm cannot make up for the weakness of the body.
Sitting on his knees on the ground, Chu Li finally understood why the Dacheng realm's demon-repelling sword technique required sacrificing life and death, because it was too taxing on the body.
Chu Li is already in the late stage of the acquired world. He has experienced skin refining, meat refining, and bone refining. He can at least hold on for a while in normal combat.
But the Dacheng realm's demon-repelling sword technique is different. It was only used for such a short period of time, but it almost exhausted all Chu Li's energy.
But, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Sitting on his knees in the mountain, Chu Li felt that the world was completely different after the monster died.
The surrounding fog filled with the smell of blood has faded, the vegetation has regained its aura, and the souls of countless victims in the mountain temple seem to have been liberated.
Even Feng Jue, who was still staring at death, closed his eyes slightly at some point.
The small animals that are most sensitive to environmental changes gradually ran out. Cranes were flying in the mountains, squirrels were scurrying on the ground, and they ran up to the motionless Chu Li and knocked pine nuts on his head.
"I didn't expect that you could really kill that half-step innate demon."
Jiang Ying's voice came slowly, with indescribable shock in her words, but the voice was already unclear.
In the first blow, Jiang Ying was already seriously injured when the blade was cut off. If Chu Li hadn't drawn her sword, she would have been cut in two on the spot.
Although she maintained herself afterwards, she was only barely able to move. But she never expected that Chu Li could kill the half-step innate human-skin rat demon almost by his own strength!
You know, the human-skin rat demon is originally a demon, and it is cunning by nature. Even if a master in the early stage of the innate realm encounters it, he will probably die in its hands.
But such a terrible monster was actually killed by a warrior in the late stage of the acquired realm! If this matter is told to others, I'm afraid no one will believe it, not to mention the great success of the sword technique to repel demons.
"Sure enough, I read it right. The strongest genius of this generation of the Chu family is not Chu Wanling, but you."
With this thought in mind, Jiang Ying maintained her body functions and used her last strength to speak out:
"Chu Li, although the rat demon is dead, the mystery of the mist in Yunlong Mountain remains unsolved, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"After you can stand up, go down the mountain as soon as possible. The yamen procedures are in my arms. You can take them with you later."
"The purple leaves you want are on the side of the mountain. I saw them when I went up the mountain. You can pick them yourself, but you still have to be quick."
Listening to Jiang Ying's instructions, Chu Li opened his eyes slightly, turned around and said with some surprise:
"how about you?"
"Don't worry about me. After you leave, someone will take this body away."
"What?"
Take this body away?
What does this mean?
Chu Li blinked and didn't understand for a while, then he heard Jiang Ying's voice intermittently say:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine......I'll wait for you in Dijing......"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ying's huge body became completely motionless. Seeing this, Chu Li struggled to get up.
"Hey, Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying! ?"
Could he be dead?
The surprised Chu Li struggled and knelt down in front of Jiang Ying. Without caring about anything else, he opened the bamboo hat that he had never opened before, but he was stunned the next moment.
He saw Under that bamboo hat, what was actually not a human face, but a broken puppet!
"Um? ? ?"
"This is a wooden puppet!"
The stunned Chu Li blinked and suddenly understood many things in his mind.
He finally knew the reason why Jiang Ying kept covering his face, and finally understood where the hidden weapon in his crotch came from!
The Divine Machine Gate!
Staring at it. This broken puppet made Chu Li subconsciously think of a sect, the Shenji Sect, which was one of the ten largest sects in Daxia and a huge force that spanned several countries.
Yes, Daxia was not the only one in this world. There are many large and small countries and regions, but they are not as rich as Daxia.
For example, the Yan Kingdom in the north and the Shiwan Mountains in the south are not within the control of Daxia, but the sect has influence across the country..
Some powerful sects can even influence some small countries and be on an equal footing with the king.
The ten major sects in Daxia are such big forces, and the Shenji Sect is one of them, the most mysterious and good at it. Various puppet mechanisms and the Five Elements and Bagua technique are also the only sect that did not fall during the hundred-year demon tide seven hundred years ago.
It is said that the location of the Shenjimen Mountain Gate is a canyon with thousands of mechanisms inside, and the demons entered the Ten Deaths. Wu Sheng.
During the hundred-year demon tide, nine out of ten warriors in the world were killed or injured, and only the Shenji Sect survived most of them with the help of these unique skills. Since then, it has become one of the top ten sects.
But what Chu Li knows about this sect. , In fact, there are not many, because this sect is so low-key that there are very few records in the original work. However, Chu Li in reality should not have much interaction with them.
Encountered.
So the question is, who is Jiang Ying?
"Logically speaking, Jiang Ying should be from the Shenji Sect."
"But in that case, you should go to Shengwu Academy. Why come to Imperial Martial Arts Academy?"
Normally, the disciples of the ten major sects practice within the sect and rarely go out.
If they are really born, there is basically only one reason, and that is to make friends with outside forces.
For example, the Imperial Martial Arts Academy is such a It's a good place to make friends with various forces, but the Imperial Martial Academy is ridiculous, isn't it a bunch of pure mud-legged people?
Even Chu Li is no exception.���It's just a big fool, because it's impossible for the Chu family to pay anything for him.
Why are there people from the Shenji Sect in a place like this?
"Jiang Ying, now it seems that this name may be fake."
"Moreover, this puppet technique is remotely operated, which means that her original strength should far exceed that of the puppet, at least in the innate realm!"
"Why does such a person lurk in the Imperial Martial Arts Academy as a puppet?"
"Who is she?"
Chu Li fell into silence while thinking about this issue. This was so different from the original work that he was caught off guard.
But soon, he no longer needed to worry about these things.
Because of moving his body, he had already been greatly overdrawn. Chu Li finally couldn't hold on any longer. His chest suddenly hurt sharply, and at the same time, his eyes gradually became dark.
"Oops."
Whispering softly, Chu Li's hand holding his chest gradually lost its strength, and finally slowly fell beside the puppet and fell into a slumber.
