Chapter 123: Vitality of Water

  Luo Yu discovered that from this battle onwards, the enemy had become like a person, considering strategies and conserving spiritual energy. In contrast, the enemies in the previous twenty-seven battles were more like human puppets, attacking challengers according to program without regard for anything else. Even when they formed arrays and coordinated with each other, it was only at the beginning. Once their array was broken and their coordination was disrupted, they would often fight individually, rarely forming new arrays to coordinate attacks. In other words, they could not adapt randomly, which was also the reason why Luo Yu had been able to survive until now.

  Nowadays, there are enemies of human thought, and it's even harder to deal with, frowning.

  Although the talisman is useful, it requires spiritual power and divine consciousness to activate. If the distance is too far, the opponent can easily dodge; if the distance is too close, it will affect oneself, and it's possible that the opponent won't be knocked out, but instead knock yourself out. Her strength is lower than the enemy's, so this situation often occurs.

  Releasing snowflakes and snowstorms was apparently extremely exhausting, so the woman changed her combat method. She pinched her fingers to form a hand seal, guiding the Water Moon Double Wheels to whistle away. One wheel went straight for Luo Yu's face, while the other pressed down on his lower plate, incredibly exquisite.

  Shui Yue's twin wheels, carrying a chill that pierced the bone, instantly arrived in front of Luo Yu. She let out a loud shout: "You've come just in time!"

  The upper body leans back, avoiding the upper road Water Moon Wheel. The Golden Hoop Rod is shaken violently, sending the lower road Water Moon Wheel flying. Immediately after, a leap into the air and a swing of the rod sends the returning upper road Water Moon Wheel flying towards the opponent's side.

  Compared to competing in martial arts, Luo Yu prefers real-life battles because it allows her to better utilize the advantages of her physical training.

  Unable to see the remote control taking effect, the woman leaped into the air, grabbed the Water Moon Twin Wheels that had been knocked flying, spun around and landed on the ground, her movements elegant and graceful.

  At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a crystal clear vine instantly wrapped around her legs.

  There is no spiritual energy on Tiantiao, nor any demonic energy. Moreover, its color is generally the same as that of Zhantai, so it's easy to be overlooked by people.

  The woman threw out a wheel of water moon with her left hand. The golden hoop rod that met Luo Yu, with her right hand, drew a wheel of water moon downwards, leaving a shallow mark on the rattan stick. Although the rattan stick was not cut off, it also recovered its green color due to injury, which surprised the woman, the rattan stick did not shrink back due to injury, but instead tightened around her legs, making her unable to move.

  At this time, Luo Yu mobilized all her spiritual power and physical strength, launching a full-force attack. The woman was forced to abandon the rattan stick at her feet and activated the two Water Moon Wheels, releasing countless snowflakes that rushed towards the opposite side.

  Although the green vines under her feet were difficult to entangle, they only bound her to the spot, unable to move. With Ling Guang's protection, the green vines couldn't harm her legs either. Once she had dealt with the person in front of her, that person's demonic plant would surely die along with them.

  Snowflakes fluttered about, Luo Yu suddenly retreated violently, and shouted loudly: "Explode!"

  Boom, boom, boom——, explosions continued, fierce flames soared into the sky, and the white-clothed woman was swept up by a rapid airflow, engulfed in an instant by the raging flames. Sparkling raindrops flashed in the bright firelight.

  In the flames, there was also a thick green vine that wrapped around the woman's legs and was also burned to ashes.

  "Wah wah wah——, I'm going to be burned to death!" Hongmi jumped away from the flames, constantly hopping around as if struggling in the fire.

  Luoyu got up from the ground, "Didn't you abandon that green vine? How can it still feel scorched? Don't be pretentious, hurry up and absorb the light rain, or else you won't even get a single ray of light."

  Previously, Luo Yu secretly instructed Hong Mi to find an opportunity to trap the woman in white and detonate a bundle of talismans. However, he must abandon the rattan at the moment of detonation, otherwise it would not be able to escape the scene in time and would be injured even more severely, or even die on the spot.

  So she just mercilessly pierced through Hongmi's pretentiousness, and besides, after absorbing the light rain, the destroyed rattan can also grow back.

  When the white-robed woman had completely transformed into a rain of light, the flames also went out. This was the perfect opportunity to absorb the light rain. Red rice no longer pretended, and with a whoosh, it sprang forward, opening its petals to catch the light rain.

  The red rice discovered that the light rain that had fallen on the petals was no longer escaping, but was quietly waiting to be swallowed by the pistil.

  The Hongmi was shocked, and there would be such a change. Is it because its water spirit root has been opened, or is it because its water spirit root is opened by these light rain and water spirit crystal together?

  Can't figure it out, the pomegranate is no longer struggling for itself. Now the most important thing is to absorb more light rain. It happily sways back and forth in the flower path, scooping up most of the light rain into its petals. When there's no more light rain in the air, it reluctantly closes its petals, preparing to slowly absorb.

  Guang Yu's change, Luo Yu naturally also discovered it. She ran over to try and found that Guang Yu was still not affected by her. The Hunyuan Decree could only absorb a few light points into her body, which was no different from before.

  Hongmi thought of the reason, Luoyu naturally also thought of it.

  "Red Rice, you said that the light rain and water crystal opened your Water Spirit Root, and also allowed you to advance to the fourth stage ahead of time. Then do you know what this light rain actually is?"

  "Before the promotion, I wasn't very clear either, just vaguely feeling that this thing was very beneficial to me. However, the newly unlocked inheritance memory did mention Guangyu," Hongmi said with great interest: "This is a special water-based energy that can fuse with various energies without exclusion, and contains a large amount of vitality. In ancient times, it was called Vitality Water, which could heal wounds and save lives. Ancient cultivators would always carry one or two bottles with them in case of emergency. My Waterspirit Root was able to awaken so quickly, all thanks to this thing fusing with the Waterspirit Crystal. Otherwise, I wouldn't have woken up even after two years."

  "Let's put aside the matter of Shengji Water for now, and talk about your promotion. If I were to give you a Fire Spirit Crystal, would you be able to unlock your Fire Spirit Root? And at that time, wouldn't you also be able to advance another level?"

  "Because the Water Spirit Force is the most gentle energy among the Five Elements, plus the assistance of Shengji Water, I was able to open my Water Spirit Root so easily. As for the remaining Fire, Earth, and Metal Spirit Roots, they still require step-by-step cultivation to be opened. If I were to rashly swallow a Fire Spirit Crystal or other such items before opening my Spirit Root, I risk exploding and destroying my body."

  The hope of getting the demon pill was dashed, and Luo Yu sighed: "I thought I had found a shortcut, but it turned out to be just an empty joy."

  "Being able to advance four levels ahead of time is already a great stroke of luck, Master. You should be content with that. From now on, as long as you provide me with enough spirit stones and let me drink some spirit liquid every day, in about three hundred years, my demon core will have fully grown. At that time, I won't say another word, I'll immediately take the core to help you upgrade your space." Hong Mi said solemnly.

  The lifespan of the Golden Elixir is 500 years. At around 300 years, one advances to the Yuan Ying stage. Although this is far from being a heavenly genius, it is still the average age for cultivators to advance to the Yuan Ying stage. Some may even advance at an older age of over 400 years, but if a cultivator exceeds 450 years and has not advanced, they will no longer have the possibility of advancing due to their declining vital energy.
