It turned out to be a huge tree demon. The tree demon cracked a gap from the trunk, revealing his eyes that looked very much like a human.

Hundreds of wood spirits crawled in front of the tree demon, like devout believers, in an orderly manner.

The tree demon's body moved and looked at Ling Xi's position through the gap. Ling Xi's scalp suddenly became numb, and the fear in his heart spread to the extreme.

It would be fine if this was just a human expert, but it was a monster that had never been heard of, and it was within the scope of Guyun Sect where Ling Xi thought he was safe. No wonder those who entered the back mountain died, it turned out that there was such a thing.

The tree spirit swung the branches towards Ling Xi, ordering the crawling wood spiritual attack, as if disdainful to take action himself.

Seeing that Ling Xi could not escape, he could only fight hard.

Mu Shuling was frightened by the sudden flames rising from Ling Xi's body, and hesitated and dared not move forward.

Seeing this, the tree spirit swung the branches anxiously and kept urging. The fear of the flames of the wood spirit was born overwhelmed the majesty of the tree spirit, and no matter how much it commanded it, it would be useless.

Ling Xi stalemate with them for a while and found that the tree spirit had never stepped forward. He had guessed that it had most of the ability to fight.

Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief and focused his attention on the wood spirits. He threw out a ball of flames, which scared several wood spirits so much that they quickly retreated. Seeing this, Ling Xi simply threw the flames directly on the tree spirit.

The tree spirit wanted to avoid it in horror, but his body was huge and he was hit on his body.

The flames spread rapidly on the tree spirit, and it was burned to ashes like a haystack.

A twisted face emerged from the dying flame, and a twisted figure emerged from the ashes.

That figure looks like a human, but it is not.

"You, be bold." The shadow said hoarsely.

Only then did Ling Xi see clearly that the shadow was actually a creature entangled with tree roots. Countless branches and trunks were densely wrapped around the shadow, forming its body.

Ling Xi thought it was no different from other wood spirituals, so she threw out a ball of flame. Unexpectedly, the shadow raised his hand to catch the flame and pressed it on the palm of his hand to destroy Nirvana.

"Not afraid of fire." Ling Xi's heart sank. He had no other means to deal with this difficult creature.

"I wouldn't have come if I had known it." Xiao Ling also murmured in a low voice. He ran into the back mountain and didn't see any spiritual treasures, but instead was surrounded by these wood spirits and could not get out.

Two rattans climbed up Ling Xi's legs, with thorns on it, pierced the shirt hard, locking Ling Xi in place. As soon as he moved a little, he would feel severe pain in his legs.

Even when the flames stained the vines, they could only emit a black smoke and were extinguished. Ling Xi summoned the sword to cut off a vine. Before he could swing the sword again, the shadow came to him.

A wooden hand squeezing Ling Xi's throat hard and lifted him into the air. Ling Xi held his breath, placing his hands on the shadow's wrist, and tried his best to get out.

The wooden hand gradually exerted force, and Ling Xi couldn't help but vomit the breath that was holding in his heart, and even the world in front of him began to cast a shadow.

An ice sword pierced the wooden man's chest in the blink of an eye, splashing out a lot of ice slag.

The wooden man let go of his hand, and Ling Xi heard a loud sound of fighting in his ears. "Damn it! Don't run!" This was the shout of Elder Hao.

I don’t know how long it took, Ling Xi was helped up by a pair of big hands. Elder Hao pressed his shoulder and looked up and down and asked, “Ling Xi, how are you? Who told you to run to the back mountain!”

Ling Xi did not answer and glanced at the side. An old man who looked familiar leaned over and picked up the ice sword, broke the sword head and threw it into his mouth as ice cubes.

"who is he?."

Elder Hao's eyes flashed, and he pushed a warm spiritual power into Ling Xi's body, responding: "He is also one of our elders, but you don't know."

Ling Xi had already remembered that the old man was the one who snatched herbs with him, and smiled at the old man, "Dare you ask which elder you are?"

"He said so, just believe it." Du Yu spread his hands and answered, and the words he said made Elder Hao's face turn blue.

"Ling Xi, no matter what, you think everything you see here today has never happened. Don't mention it to outsiders again..."

"Boy, are you interested in following me?" Du Yu interrupted Elder Hao and said.

"You!" Elder Hao stared at him and couldn't speak.

"He already knows it almost. It's useless for you to hide it from it. Letting him go means all the disciples will know. Didn't you say I don't care? I have the time to teach you my disciples for you now, but you don't want to?"

Elder Hao thought about it, weighed the pros and cons, and agreed, "Ling Xi, I don't know you..."

"I do." Ling Xi hoped that someone would come to teach him so that he could quickly improve his strength.

"Okay! Then you are my first disciple. I haven't confiscated the disciples yet, and I don't mess with their fancy ones. What do you know? Let's hear it."

"I have only practiced some superficial fighting skills, and I have not yet broken through the spiritual cultivation realm."

"Tsk." Du Yu's tone showed disdain: "At your age, you are only at this level, you are basically useless. When I was as old as you, no disciple of the entire Guyun Sect dared to fight me."

"That was your era, now, it was mine." Ling Xi clenched his fists and shouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

"What a big tone, I'm still alive." Du Yu said to Elder Hao again: "You go back and deal with the matter of the main peak first. I don't know which idiot came up with a bad idea, but actually set fire to the mountain. Do you know how many precious herbs have been burned."

Ling Xi looked elsewhere and pretended not to hear it.

"Hey, come with me." Du Yu said this and left on his own.

The dust and dark clouds on the main peak covered the sky and the earth, and the flames destroyed this fairyland in a distorted way.

Ling Yingxi found Zi Lan, who was still comforting her apprentice, and asked Ling Xi’s whereabouts: ‘Master, have you seen Ling Xi?’

"What? Didn't I let you two stay together?" Zi Lan asked back, sweeping to the limit with her soul, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't see him. Where did he go?"

"I don't know, he left without telling me."

"You." Zi Lan was angry and anxious. She couldn't get out of here at this time.

"No need to look for it. Ling Xi was seriously injured and was taken away by the sect leader. Don't worry, he is not bad. He should be able to come out as long as he is under the care of the sect leader."

"Why did he get seriously injured?" Ling Yingxi asked nervously: "Where is he? I want to see him!"

"No, you can't see him at this time." Elder Hao refused toughly.

"You ask her to take a look, after all..." Zi Lan also pleaded for Ling Yingxi.

"This is what the sect leader means." Elder Hao glanced at Zi Lan. When Zi Lan heard the word "sect leader", he stopped refuting, but instead persuaded Ling Yingxi.

Ling Xi was taken into a cave by Du Yu. The furniture in the cave was quite complete, all of which were cut from ready-made wood outside, and the ground was also covered with wild beast fur, which looked very warm.

Du Yu lay leaning against the wooden bed as if he was back home, pointing to the stove to Ling Xi and said, "Go to cook by yourself, but I haven't prepared it for a while and you are good."

"Senior also needs food?" Ling Xi asked.

The more all species practice, the closer they get to the so-called divine body, and no longer need to eat. Even Ling Xi can easily fast for several days without eating grains, such as the spiritual cultivation realm, which can reach several months. A higher level usually cannot satisfy them, and can only eat the Akashi that arises from the world. The power in the Akashi is absorbed in the body to support the activities of the immortals. This is also one of the reasons why Akashi can become a high-level practitioner.

"Of course I'm cooking for you. Are you planning to let me serve you in person?"

"Senior, I'm not hungry." Ling Xi said, "When I heard this, I threw down the firewood in my hand and said.

"Of course you are not hungry now, but when I train, I don't have the chance to eat. You are my first apprentice, how could I let you lose face?"

Ling Xi hurriedly had a meal, took out the Dharma body technique hidden in the stone, and came behind Du Yu and asked, "Senior? Do you know how to practice this technique?"

Du Yu turned his back to Ling Xi and remained silent. Ling Xi screamed twice, but Du Yu still had no reaction. He simply pushed Du Yu.

Du Yu was startled and quickly turned around and shouted: "What are you doing?!"

"Senior, I've called you a lot."

After hearing this, Du Yu just curled his lips, took the martial arts in Ling Xi's hand and said, "This? I have practiced it, it's quite simple, just stick to it."

"really?"

"Look at me, I practiced this technique for only three months, and then I have achieved great success. No matter what talent you have, you will at least get my level at that time."

Ling Xi agreed on the surface and muttered in a low voice: "You might have beaten me at that time."

"I can't beat you? Just kidding. I beat five spiritual cultivation realms alone at that time, and they still beat them up."

Ling Xi was a little confused. He just called him so loudly, but he couldn't hear it. This time he just muttered, and it didn't necessarily make a sound. How did Du Yu hear it clearly?

Du Yu saw the question in Ling Xi's eyes and asked him: "Do you know what my name is?"

"You should be called Du Yu."

Du Yu's eyes rarely showed appreciation: "It seems that you are not stupid. When I broke into the back mountain, I accidentally got a poison called Danhong."

"Dan Hong?" Ling Xi's face was serious. Lianhua was a little bit defeated at that time, but she didn't have any resistance. Unexpectedly, Du Yu could survive if he defeated Dan Hong. The name of a genius was indeed well-known.

"You also know how powerful this poison is? Fortunately, I barely resisted the toxicity at that time, leaving only one sequelae, both ears are deaf, and I can no longer hear the sound."

"That senior..."

"Of course I'm reading lips and soul to know what you're talking about."

"Senior, I have perseverance."

"You don't need to flatter me. I paid much more than this to break through the realm of everything. What's the point of just a pair of ears?"

Du Yu is not only a genius, but also reaches the point of being a martial arts fanatic. Even if he is distracted, he must make breakthroughs.

Ling Xi couldn't help but admire him. He believed that if he didn't have Ling Yingxi, he wouldn't have worked so hard to practice. Just make sure to make progress every day.

Du Yu radiated light from his hand, scattered into the stone, and threw it back to Ling Xi and said, "I have my experience inside, just practice according to your experience. In addition, don't ask more about the situation in the back mountain, just concentrate on practicing here. When is the time, I will talk to you again."

"Isn't it possible now?"

"No." Du Yu said in a serious tone: "This is related to my breakthrough. If something goes wrong..." Du Yu did not continue and his eyes gradually became cold.
