A few days later, the green snake's secret residence, in the gathering pool.
The injuries on Hong Zhan's body had all recovered, and he was not in a hurry to impact his physical cultivation, because his soul cultivation had reached an extremely critical moment, and he was practicing the "Sin Karma Heavenly Dao Sutra" with all his might.
With the help of qi luck, one day's cultivation is equivalent to someone else's cultivation for a year, he will allocate time every day to refine his soul, never slackening, so that at this moment he has reached a breakthrough critical point.
I saw that there was a large space in his eyebrow orifices, and the red soul power inside was like fog all over the place, and the rolling soul power kept churning, and it was even denser to the extreme at this moment.
"Ning!" Hong Zhan roared in his heart.
With a buzz, the approaching fog-like soul power quickly gathered and condensed, just like the mist condensed into small water droplets, and the small water droplets condensed into large water droplets, getting faster and faster.
With a whoosh, the misty soul power of a space disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, they condensed into blood-red water, gathered in one place, and gradually turned into a small lake of blood.
The water of the blood lake rippled, and the lake surface was steaming with a bewitching red mist, which looked extremely evil, as if at a glance, the mind would be taken away.
"Soul Sea Period? However, now it is just a small lake of soul power, and it can only be regarded as the early stage of the soul sea." Hong Zhan thought.
He had learned from Zhou Jingxuan that there were only four stages of soul refining in the world, that is, four major stages, even Zhou Jingxuan was only in the first stage, and he had already entered the second stage.
The soul power broke through, but the sin karma was consumed again, which made him depressed for a while.
He suddenly thought of something, touched the God Slayer Knife, and instantly entered the God Slayer Knife illusion.
In the illusion of the God Slayer Knife, the sword spirit was still chained, and he was also stunned when he saw Hong Zhan suddenly come in.
"Do you want to understand knife techniques again?" Dao Ling asked.
It was extremely puzzled, did Hong Zhan not consume all the merit last time?
"No, I have something to ask you." Hong Zhan said.
"Oh?" Dao Ling looked at Hong Zhan puzzled.
"You recognized me as the master at the beginning, did you share half of the karma with me?" Hong Zhan stared at the sword spirit and asked.
Dao Ling's face darkened, thinking that Hong Zhan was here to ask for forgiveness, but he nodded and said, "That's right."
"Sin karma can affect our monks' practice, and it can also affect you, right?" Hong Zhan asked.
The sword spirit was silent for a while, of course the sin karma had an impact on it, once the sin karma reached a certain level, it would also destroy the spirit. Otherwise, why does it keep confessing the Lord? It is to reduce one's own sinful karma.
For the owner's question, it can choose to hide it, but it can't lie, it can only say helplessly: "Yes!"
"Thanks to you for teaching me the "Eight Styles of God Slayer", I, as the master, can't say anything, otherwise, I'll help you bear the remaining half of your sinful karma. Give me all your sins, and I will bear it for you." Hong Zhan said.
"Huh?" Dao Ling was stunned for a moment, it felt that its head was a little insufficient.
It thought that Hong Zhan was here to settle accounts with him, after all, the sin karma was so terrifying, Hong Zhan divided half of its sin karma for no reason, he must have a grudge, but what is the situation now? Hongzhan still wants the sinful karma of its other half?
"Don't have a psychological burden, I am your master, you should help you bear some sins, give it all to me." Hong Zhan said again.
The sword spirit looked at Hong Zhan in astonishment, it thought that Hong Zhan's head was broken, how could anyone take the initiative to ask for sin karma?
"What's wrong? Are you willing to leave your sinful karma?" Hong Zhan wondered.
Dao Ling's face darkened, I am sick, will I be reluctant to part with sinful karma?
"I can't give it, sin karma is destined, no one can decide its belonging, I can share half of the sin karma with you because I recognize you as the master, and now I can no longer give you a little more, unless after you die, I will recognize others as the master and then share the profits with others." Dao Ling said.
"Is that so? Forget it. That's it." Hong Zhan said calmly. Then his figure shook and disappeared.
Only the sword spirit had a complicated expression, it was a little uncomfortable for the new owner to be so good to it.
After Hong Zhan's consciousness returned to his physical body, he sighed in his heart, it seemed impossible to remove the sin karma from the sword spirit. That's all, let's improve our physical cultivation first.
He quickly entered meditation, absorbing the spiritual mist in the spirit gathering pool and cultivating his physical body.
------
A few days later, the green snake finally woke up, it slowly opened its eyes, saw the rich colorful spiritual mist around it, and immediately exhaled lightly, and was finally saved.
It observed its own body and found that the wounds were almost healed, but there were two small sarcomas bulging on its head, its face changed, and it hurriedly shook its head, and the two small sarcomas quickly shrank back, and it turned back into what the green snake should have been.
It looked around nervously, and saw that only Hong Zhan was in meditation in the spirit gathering pool, as if he hadn't paid attention to it, it exhaled softly, but was a little apprehensive.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew out from Hong Zhan's body.
Rumble! The cold wind swept around, and the extreme cold made the green snake tremble all over, and it looked at Hong Zhan incredulously.
"Have you broken through?" Zhou Jingxuan's voice came from outside the Spirit Gathering Pool.
"The eighth level of the innate realm! Thanks to these spiritual mists, I broke through again." Hong Zhan exhaled lightly, opened his eyes and smiled.
When the green snake saw that Hong Zhan had woken up, he hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended not to wake up yet.
"I guessed you were about to wake up, come and eat." Zhou Jingxuan smiled.
Hong Zhan got up and walked out of the spirit gathering pool, only to see that the spiritual mist in the pool was less than 30% left.
"Grilled fish? Where did you get it from?" Hong Zhan's eyes lit up.
"Isn't it an underground river next to it, I just caught it, try a new flavor." Zhou Jingxuan handed over a pair of chopsticks and smiled.
Hong Zhan was not polite at all, and immediately ate it happily.
"Fairy Zhou's craftsmanship, there is really nothing to say, this fish is so well grilled, I have never eaten such delicious fish, whether it is the color, heat or seasoning ratio, it is simply impeccable, a bite makes me feel like I am on the beach and basking in the sun." Hong Zhan habitually praised while eating.
The corner of Zhou Jingxuan's mouth unconsciously curved into an arc, and she enjoyed Hong Zhan's praise very much.
The green snake in the spirit pool couldn't stand it anymore, it sniffed vigorously, and a trace of saliva overflowed from the corner of its mouth. I couldn't stand the temptation of this fragrance, coupled with Hong Zhan's very graphic description, which immediately made it swallow continuously.
It pretended to have just woken up, turned its head to look at the two people not far away, and said innocently and dazedly: "How did we come back? What are you eating?"
"Hey, are you awake? Do you want to be together?" Zhou Jingxuan invited.
"Okay!" The green snake couldn't wait.
Zhou Jingxuan: "......"
Hong Zhan: "......"
Didn't the green snake just wake up? Why did you agree so readily? It's caught off guard.
I saw the green snake slowly swim over, and continued to pretend to be dazed and said: "What is this? Is it delicious?"
Zhou Jingxuan handed over a grilled fish and said: "I grill any fish, you can try it."
The green snake opened its mouth wide and swallowed the grilled fish whole, but its small body was actually not deformed. The moment it swallowed the grilled fish, it showed an extremely enjoyable expression and sighed: "Zhou Jingxuan, your craftsmanship is really good, I have never eaten such delicious grilled fish, is there anything else?"
Hong Zhan was stunned, is the green snake learning from me? It finished my words, how should I shoot next?
"Give." Zhou Jingxuan handed over a fish again.
With a bite, the green snake swallowed it all again, then bent its small eyes and said with a look of enjoyment: "It's so delicious, how can there be such a delicious fish in the world?"
Zhou Jingxuan: "......"
Hong Zhan: "......"
Is this the Demon King? Why do you feel like you've never seen the world?
Zhou Jingxuan handed out another grilled fish and said curiously: "I haven't asked your name yet, what do you call it?"
"You can just call me Xiaozhu." The little green snake stuffed its mouth with fish meat, and said with puffed cheeks.
"Don't worry, the fish is enough to eat, if it's not enough, I'll grill some more for you and eat slowly." Zhou Jingxuan smiled.
"Hmm!" Xiaozhu kept praising Zhou Jingxuan.
Hong Zhan felt pressured, this is suddenly having a flattering competitor, is this to snatch the beautiful chef from him? He also continued to spare no effort to praise Zhou Jingxuan.
For a while, there was a duet of Hong Zhan and Xiao Zhu, which made Zhou Jingxuan's smile unstoppable.
Xiaozhu ate another grilled fish, and just as he was about to speak, it suddenly trembled and froze there.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jingxuan asked curiously.
The next moment, Xiaozhu's eyes widened, his whole body was twitching, it showed a look of fear, as if it wanted to shout, but it couldn't make a sound.
"Stuck by a fishbone? Impossible, right? Xiaozhu, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Jingxuan said nervously.
Xiaozhu seemed to be unable to respond to Zhou Jingxuan at all, and it was difficult to even make a sound, and his face was swollen and bloodshot at this moment.
Hong Zhan noticed something was wrong, hurriedly grabbed Xiaozhu's snake body, and after some rubbing and inspection, he didn't find anything transparent restraining Xiaozhu, why did Xiaozhu suddenly twitch?
"Could it be that it has some hidden disease that suddenly attacked?" Hong Zhan frowned.
"It was fine just now." Zhou Jingxuan also frowned.
But I saw Xiaozhu slowly arching up, and it made a sound of fear with difficulty: "The demon emperor spared his life, I have just been in a coma all this time, I have not betrayed you, don't kill me, don't ......"
Demon Emperor? The two of them suddenly shrank their pupils, and quickly picked up their swords to look around, everything around the cave was calm, and there was nothing abnormal.
Xiaozhu still showed a look of pain, as if he had been hit by some kind of invisible blow, desperate tears overflowed from the corners of its eyes, and it let out a weak begging voice: "Don't kill me, I don't want to go to the underworld, I don't want to die."
With a snap, Xiaozhu collapsed to the ground, its pupils dilated, its eyes lost its brilliance, and it seemed to be dead.
