: I don't know.

Snow shook her head..

Nie Yuan looked at Dream Fairy, hoping that Dream Fairy could give him an answer..

"Don't look at it. The Companion Crystal has already fused with your Demon Heart. It's impossible to take it out..

The dream fairy sat up straight, yawned, and said.

" This…" Nie Yuan looked at Luo Zhixue. At this moment, he did not know what to do. The Companion Crystal was related to her life, but now he could not take it out from his body..

"Don't worry too much, kid. The crystal you gave her can completely make up for the lack of companion crystals. It's definitely more than that. It will bring out her talent to the extreme. However, this girl's life still can't be separated from the companion crystals, so don't be too reckless in the future..

Dream Immortal continued,"Your luck is good. You met such a silly girl. If she hadn't given you the Companion Crystal, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Treat her well. Otherwise, I'll be the first one who won't forgive you.".

”

"Never fail her..

"The heart is determined..

He looked at Luo Zhixue and said," The seven-colored crystal I gave you earlier can make up for the lack of companion crystals. Together with that secret technique, it will have a wonderful effect.".

”

"Well, I'm sorry..

Luo Zhixue nodded lightly, took out the seven-colored crystal and secret technique, sat beside Nie Yuan, and began to cultivate..

Nie Yuan sighed and started cultivating..

His cultivation was not to break through his realm, but to connect with his previous methods..

External force was external force after all, and one had to be tough to forge iron. In Death Valley, Meng Xian's words reminded him deeply. If he wanted to reach the peak by relying on external force, he could only think about it..

Nie Yuan meditated and silently recited the mantra of the Thick Earth Technique in his heart. This was also the first secret technique he came into contact with in this world, and it was also the secret technique he neglected the most..

Ever since he obtained the Longevity Sutra, he had never practiced this secret technique again..

Dream Immortal once said that there were many wonderful aspects of the Thick Earth Technique, and it was definitely not the way Nie Yuan cultivated it at this time..

At this time, he wanted to dig out the beauty of it and repeatedly refine the heart mantra, trying to find out the difference..

After several hours of refining, Nie Yuan finally discovered something different..

When Nie Yuan circulated the Thick Earth Technique, not only would his physical body slowly become stronger, but the spiritual energy flowing through his meridians would also become smoother. More importantly, he discovered that after cultivating the Thick Earth Technique to a certain extent, there would be a hidden force exploding faintly in his bones and muscles. It was as thick as the earth. However, when Nie Yuan wanted to see this force clearly, he could not always figure it out..

Nie Yuan knew clearly that his cultivation of the Thick Earth Technique was still incomplete..

"That's right. Since you can vaguely sense that kind of power, it's worth teaching..

”

Dream Immortal looked at Nie Yuan and nodded in satisfaction..

Next was the Dragon Form Fist. Ever since Tianwen appeared, the Dragon Form Fist was rarely used, and the time to cultivate it was even less..

So Nie Yuan also connected it once..

After several hours of boring cultivation, Nie Yuan suddenly opened his eyes..

He was surprised to discover that Dragon Fist was not as simple as he had seen it to be..

How could it be as simple as a set of fist techniques to evolve into a true dragon in one breath? The profundity of it was indescribable. Right now, his cultivation of Dragon Phase Fist could not even be considered as a beginner..

True dragons communicate with heaven and earth with one breath and one movement. Dragon Form Fist naturally also communicates with heaven and earth. If it is cultivated to perfection, ten thousand dragons will surge with one punch..

The cultivation methods and secret arts taught by Dream Immortal were all extraordinary. The more one studied them, the more one could understand their mysteries..

The next step was to cultivate the Fire Cloud Technique and the Divine Thunder Technique..

The True Fire of Heavenly Thunder surged at the same time, revealing its original color. The white Heavenly Thunder was dyed black again, and the black True Fire slowly showed a trace of red..

The lightning and true fire intertwined around Nie Yuan at the same time, sometimes violent, sometimes calm, and the form was constantly changing..

With a thought, the True Fire Heavenly Thunder appeared in his palm at the same time. The black Heavenly Thunder turned into a bow, and the red True Fire turned into an arrow. As he bent the bow, the arrow was drawn..

：.

Whoosh!

An arrow formed by true fire suddenly shot out, turning into a red streak of light that cut through the sky and shot towards a mountain in the distance with the momentum of thunder..

Boom!

Along with a loud explosion, the center of the mountain exploded into flames. The entire mountain shook, and countless rocks rolled down, bringing up waves of smoke..

By the time the smoke cleared, the center of the entire mountain had been blown up, and the edges were charred black. There were still flames spreading..

The power of this arrow exceeded Nie Yuan's imagination. The mountain was much shorter..

"Why didn't I notice this power before?.

"Nie Yuan muttered..

The next step is the Heavenly Evolution Technique..

The Heavenly Evolution Technique was the most crude technique among all his techniques. It was abstruse and difficult to understand. Even if he practiced it frequently, it was only a beginner's technique and could not advance at all..

However, Nie Yuan felt that this technique was quite heaven-defying even though he had just entered the sect. He could not imagine what it would be like when this technique was cultivated to the peak and evolved into all kinds of techniques..

Nie Yuan spent more than three days on this technique, but still did not make any progress..

Helpless, he had to give up first.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Luo Zhixue resting her head on his lap, sleeping peacefully..

Sunlight shone on her fair face, covering it with a faint halo. Her eyelashes fluttered gently in the breeze. Nie Yuan sat quietly like this, his gaze gentle as he stared at her. An inexplicable gentleness emerged in his heart..

At this moment, Luo Zhixue's aura has changed. It is no longer as superficial, sinking, and solid as before. The light on her body has not completely dissipated and is still beating faintly. It is obvious that she has fused with the crystal..

Nie Yuan wanted to ask about the origin of that crystal stone, but Dream Immortal refused to tell him. She even said that when he should know, he would naturally know..

However, Nie Yuan wasn't unhappy. Firstly, he didn't dare to. Secondly, if this thing could bring benefits to Luo Zhixue, then it must be something good. As for what it was, it didn't matter if he didn't know..

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Luo Zhixue's hair. At this moment, Luo Zhixue let out a soft snort and woke up. Her hazy eyes stared at Nie Yuan..

Nie Yuan's throat rolled, his gaze also fixed on Luo Zhixue's face..

Just as this ambiguous atmosphere was about to develop further, Nie Yuan's chest suddenly trembled, accompanied by a buzzing sound..

Nie Yuan was furious. He had to prepare himself. Who the hell sent a message now? Go eat shit when you have nothing to do..

He took out the jade token from his chest and was stunned. It was too early to curse. It was Senior Sister..

"Junior Brother, where have you been? Tomorrow is the opening day of the Outer Sect Grand Competition. Master said that if you don't come back tonight, you'll suffer..

”

"I'm sorry."

Nie Yuan cursed. Even if he drained his essence blood, he wouldn't be able to return to the sect tonight. This place was at least a day and a half away from Sword Sect..

"Which bastard brought the outer sect competition forward? Are you crazy? You didn't even prepare for me?.

"Nie Yuan shouted at the sky, and that was a cry in his heart..

He had no choice but to call on the flying spirit beast under his feet to run faster.

Quack!

The flying spirit beast let out two strange cries. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in its voice. If it could speak, it would definitely be angry." Didn't you see that I've reached extreme speed? Why are you still dissatisfied? If you have the ability, go quickly!"
