Nine Turns of Nirvana

Soon, the two of them finished setting up the sentry talisman.

Each of them found a suitable place to sit down and began to practice.

Practicing here, Lu Yu no longer had to worry about causing strange phenomena in the world and causing shock.

Therefore, he pushed the nine red lotus cyclones in his body to the extreme at the beginning, and devoured the surrounding spiritual energy of the world with all his strength.

Sure enough, as he imagined, practicing in a place with such rich spiritual energy, the effect was even stronger than taking the Juling Pill directly.

Practicing here, the Juling Pill has become completely useless, and only the higher-level Juyuan Pill can help him in practice.

But this is only for Lu Yu, others are far from having such a terrifying swallowing speed.

Baozi is far from having such a speed.

Soon, Baozi, who was practicing in the cave, even noticed something unusual, as if the spiritual energy of the world in the cave was slowly flowing towards the direction of Lu Yu, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

I don't know what treasure Lu Yu has that can devour the spiritual energy of the world so quickly.

What's even more terrifying is that Lu Yu's body can actually withstand such a high speed of swallowing.

This is really incredible!

And for Lu Yu, he can more than just withstand it?

Even with such a fast swallowing speed, it is still far from enough for the nine red lotus cyclones in his body.

Since reaching the seventh level of the physical realm, the demand for spiritual energy has increased several times.

On the surface, he is in the physical realm, but in fact he has the strength of the true essence realm, and his demand for spiritual energy is naturally on par with the true essence realm.

After reaching the eighth level of the physical realm, the demand for spiritual energy has increased even more terrifyingly, which is already dozens of times the demand of the previous level!

If it weren't for finding such a good place, Lu Yu would probably have to practice until the end of time before he could usher in another improvement.

...

Shortly after Lu Yu and Baozi entered the cloud cave.

In the foothills not far from the cloud cave, two figures of practitioners appeared.

This foothill belongs to the territory of Tianquan Peak, and these two practitioners are also the outer disciples of Tianquan Peak.

The place where they were located was just opposite the secondary peak of Yudie Peak, and they could clearly monitor the changes at the entrance of the Cloud Cave.

"We have to stay in jail here for a few days again."

One of the outer disciples sighed.

"Be content! You can get a merit by watching here for a few days. It is not tiring and there is no danger. Where else can you find such a good job?"

Another outer disciple responded.

"Alas! It's just boring! In fact, these disciples of Yudie Peak have been scared by their senior brothers. No one dares to come to this Cloud Cave. Why do they always have to keep watch?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. This time, Uncle Hua wants to make the original liquid of Qiongjiang. The only material he lacks is this Cloud Crystal. We must not be careless. If the disciples of Yudie Peak go in first, it will delay our Tianquan Peak's plan!"

"There are only a few people in Yudie Peak. This Cloud Cave is useless to them. It's just squatting in the toilet without shitting. It's better to give it to us Tianquan Peak directly!"

"Wait! If Master Hua succeeds in making the original solution of Qiongjiang this time, the effectiveness of the spring on our Tianquan Peak will be increased by dozens of times. By then, everyone will be able to obtain sufficient spiritual resources, and the strength of Tianquan Peak will surely be strengthened. By then, not to mention a small cloud cave, even the entire Yudie Peak may become our Tianquan Peak!"

"I really hope that day will come soon!"

"Hehe, let's keep an eye on it first...you first or me first?"

The two outer disciples arranged the order and began to take turns to stick to their posts and carefully monitor the situation in the cloud cave.

Unknowingly, several days passed.

"Something seems to be wrong..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Have you noticed that the halo at the entrance of the cave over there seems to be getting darker and darker?"

"Is it?"

"Take a closer look..."

The two narrowed their eyes and looked at it intently.

"It seems not as bright as a few days ago... How could this happen? Could it be that the disciples of Yudie Peak are playing tricks?"

"Did you not look carefully and let the disciples of Yudie Peak sneak in?"

"How is it possible! I have always been very serious! You didn't look carefully!"

"Absolutely impossible! When I was watching, no one went in!"

"How could this happen?"

"Should I notify my brothers..."

The two looked at each other, hesitating.

Just at this moment, a sound of breaking wind sounded.

Four inner disciples of Tianquan Peak came together and appeared in front of the two in a flash.

"Hello, four brothers!"

The two hurriedly saluted.

"What are you talking about?"

The leader asked.

He is the disciple with the highest cultivation among the four, named Zhao Zhou.

Facing Zhao Zhou's sharp eyes, the two outer disciples were startled at the same time, and answered with a stiff face: "We found that the halo at the opposite cave entrance seems to have dimmed a little."

Hearing this, the four people immediately looked towards the opposite cave entrance.

"It's definitely not as bright as before." Zhao Zhou said, "Brother Xin, didn't you come here to inspect three days ago? Was it like this then?"

Brother Xin showed a thoughtful look: "When I came, it was noon, the sun was blazing, and I couldn't see anything."

Zhao Zhou then asked: "Has anyone come in and out these days?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!" The two outer disciples said in unison, "Absolutely not!"

"Very good! Just wait here for now!"

Zhao Zhuo snorted coldly.

"If I know that you are not doing your job well, you two will be dead!"

Their bodies trembled at the same time, and they lowered their heads tremblingly: "Yes..."

Zhao Zhuo said again: "Three junior brothers, let's go over and take a look!"

A breeze blew by.

In a moment, the figures of the four people arrived at the entrance of the Cloud Cave on the opposite side.

The situation at the entrance of the cave surprised the four of them.

"This...is indeed a lot darker!"

"I have never seen anything like this before..."

"how so?"

"Are those two boys lazy and not keeping an eye on people at all?"

"But even if they didn't watch and someone went in, it shouldn't be like this!"

…

Zhao Zhuo frowned: "Go in and take a look before talking!"

So the four of them entered the cave.

The situation in the cave is even more shocking.

"How come the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here has become so thin?"

"Why are all the cloud crystals on the rock wall missing? Did someone pick them first?"

"Junior Brother Xin, when you came here for inspection three days ago, was this place the same?"

"How is that possible! I came to see the situation here at that time, and these cloud crystals were almost mature, so I knew that today is the best time to pick..."

"That means someone else got the better of them! Those two outer disciples really did something bad!"

"However, these cloud crystals don't look like they have been picked by someone. They are still growing in the original place, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that they seem to be getting smaller and smaller..."

"How can this be?"

"Can cloud crystals grow smaller and smaller?"

"Nonsense!"

Junior Brother Xin also felt that what he said was too unbelievable, and he didn't know how to defend himself.

"stop!"

Zhao Zhu suddenly raised his hand.

Suddenly, the other three people stopped and looked at him with puzzled faces.

Zhao Zhuo looked straight at a corner of the cave and said, "There is someone inside."

Everyone followed his gaze and saw that it was a sentry talisman, which was arranged very concealed. If you were not careful, it would be really difficult to find it.

"Is it the person who picked up the cloud crystals first?"

"They should still be in this cave right now!"

"These Jade Butterfly Peak disciples are so brave, they dare to come here!"

A sneer appeared on Zhao Zhuo's face: "This time, we are going to teach them a severe lesson!"
