Chapter 276 The unlucky mother-in-law implicated by the hero of the book 18
Just when Yun Xi was feeling complacent, the angry giant octopus suddenly grew several times larger, and humans became as small as Hajime in front of it.
"The laws of heaven and earth?"
"No! It must be a spell it created itself." Lan Ping flew over, her eyes full of fighting spirit. "You guys stand back, I'll fight it. It's rare to see a sea beast with such a talent for cultivation."
Yun Xi and the others retreated quickly without saying a word. Don't think that being big in size has no advantage in the world of cultivating immortals. On the contrary, being big in size is the biggest advantage. Small monsters can be killed with one blow. Facing cultivators, they are like mosquitoes. If they want to kill them, they will probably have to fly up and down many times, and they may not be able to kill them. Otherwise, how can there be the law of heaven and earth?
Yun Xi rubbed his arms and said, "Oh my goodness, when are you going to buy some body-building skills? Mages are all fragile, you can't just be a mage."
Lan Hai silently took out a book on basic body tempering techniques.
Yun Xi took it and looked at it. "Not bad, it looks very simple. I can practice it. If I practice it to the extreme, I feel that I can withstand a blow from the Jindan stage. That's pretty good."
"Then practice it. They won't sell their exclusive skills, so you can only buy basic ones like this." Lan Ying took the skills and placed them on her forehead. She absorbed them quickly and then passed them to others.
Lan Shu watched Grandpa Taibo fight carefully, learning combat techniques. Upon hearing this, he said regretfully, "I had hoped someone would join the sect to learn and then come out to teach us, but there are no sects in the upper and lower realms anymore."
Lan Yu burst out laughing. "That's a great idea of yours. Why don't you transform yourself into someone more handsome and marry into a wealthy family? Then you can also acquire martial arts skills."
"Come on, do you think I have that ability? And those who marry into the family will also be on guard, right? I see many mothers-in-law in the mortal world are on guard against their daughters-in-law." Lan Shu stared at the battle intently, and was able to distract herself to bicker with her sister.
"There's no reference to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. They're all confused. A person from another family guards against another person from another family to protect the property of the husband's family? Anyway, I don't understand it." Lan Yu looked disgusted.
Yun Xi was silent for a moment. If only everyone was as clear-headed as you, she wouldn't have to deal with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem.
Lan Ze has a lot to say. "When I was a child, in order to find a solution to my illness, my father took me to a mortal world. We used that secret place that allows people to travel through time and space. I remember that the women there had a hard life. It was hard before they got married, and it was even harder after they got married. They didn't have enough to eat at their parents' house, and they had to work. After they got married, they still didn't have enough to eat, and they had to work too. They also had to serve their husbands, serve their mothers-in-law, give birth to children, and serve their children. They were no better than slaves. If this happened in the world of immortal cultivation, the daughter-in-law would have sent her husband's family away long ago."
Yun Xi fell silent again because she had been brainwashed. It was the kind of all-round 360-degree brainwashing, a doubly brainwashing from both the legal and moral aspects.
Lan Yu was stunned. "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course, the mortal areas of the lower realms are at least influenced by the ideas of the immortal cultivation world and are not so feudal. Moreover, some people have cultivators behind them to protect them, so they are naturally confident, which is why such things don't happen." Lan Ze nodded solemnly. "I heard that in the past, cultivators needed to go down to the mortal world to gain experience and experience the seven emotions and six desires before they could achieve the great way and become true immortals. Fortunately, we don't have to do that. I can't bear even a little hardship."
Lan Yu shuddered, "I can't stand any hardship either. If anyone dares to bully me, I will fight to the end."
The recent non-stop fighting has made everyone more aggressive.
Lan Shu quickly asked, "What about the man in the mortal world?"
"Men may seem a little better off than women, but they're also oppressed and exploited. They're subject to all sorts of bizarre taxes and heavy physical labor. Under this oppression, some spineless men even beat their wives. In the mortal realm, living to fifty is considered long-lived for both men and women. In the mortal zone of the lower realm, mortals are at least a hundred years old, and some can even take elixirs and live to two or three hundred. Of course, living that long is just suffering for mortals."
Lan Shu shuddered and hugged Lan Ying, "Mom, thank you for giving birth to me in the world of immortal cultivation."
Lan Ying pushed him away helplessly, "Go away, what nonsense are you talking about."
Yun Xi looked at the battle in the sky. Her uncle did not kill the octopus. He fought with the attitude of defeating it but not killing it. He was indeed a cultivator who had seen many storms and had sophisticated fighting skills.
As time went by and night fell, the battle continued until the evening of the next day. The giant octopus admitted defeat, made a feint, and disappeared into the seabed.
Lan Ping calmly flew back to the boat with her hands behind her back. The next second, she quickly meditated and adjusted her breathing.
Lan Yu was puzzled, and Yun Xi smiled and said, "The spiritual energy has dried up, but the giant octopus's spiritual energy dried up first."
"Wow! That octopus is so powerful, it's one level lower than Grandpa Taibo."
Lan Shu disagreed. "That octopus was able to grow bigger and fight on his own, and he's quite skilled in combat. Aside from being careless at the beginning and having a section of his tentacle chopped off by my mother, he's actually quite formidable. Grandpa Taibo must have felt a sense of sympathy for him, so he didn't kill him."
"Practice."
The boat sailed into the sea for another half a month before stopping. Everyone arrived at an island with rich spiritual energy and began to practice in seclusion. Cultivating immortals is like this, like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will move backward. Even if you get tired of it one day, you can't give up, because you don't know when you will encounter danger.
This retreat lasted a long time.
Three hundred years later, everyone came out of seclusion and had entered the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. This was also the case with my uncle and Yun Xi. It wasn't that they didn't want to break through, but they were stuck there.
When advancing to the Void Refining Stage, one has to go through a terrifying test of heavenly tribulation. The Fusion Stage will be even stronger and must be assisted by natural treasures. The practice in the Void Refining Stage is full of challenges. One needs to constantly refine one's own spiritual power and transform it into a purer power of the primordial spirit. At the same time, one must work hard to temper one's primordial spirit. It is not a simple accumulation of spiritual energy.
For example, my uncle has enough spiritual energy and spiritual power, but he hasn't made a breakthrough yet. There must be something wrong.
Also, no one has experience in breaking through the fusion stage, so it would be best to ask someone to avoid any problems.
Fortunately, the lifespan in the Void Refinement Stage is longer, so there is time to think of a solution.
Before leaving, everyone refined a lot of pills for use. My intermediate-level alchemy furnace was really helpful, and the earth fire was still in good condition after so many years. It was really a good deal.
Dihuo jumped up and down: You guys haven’t even noticed the problem yet!
Everyone was a little nervous, but Lan Ping made the final decision, "Let's go. We have to face it eventually. With our strength, the three major families won't easily become our enemies. Besides, we should go to the smaller forces' territories first to ask around."
"Small and medium-sized forces must have at least one big man in the fusion stage to take charge, otherwise they will not be able to gain a foothold in the upper realm, so everyone should not be reckless." Yun Xi was a little panicked. It was not until she entered the refining stage that she realized that the battle between her uncle and the giant octopus was much more restrained. Otherwise, the turbulent waves and the change of color of the sky and the earth would scare their Taoist experience.
