Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 157 A blessing in disguise, a turning point of fate
Lu Fan opened his eyes with a slightly dazed expression.

The first thing that catches the eye is the blue sky and white clouds, as well as a few birds flying across the sky.

At this time, the breeze blows, like a lover's fingertips, extremely gentle, with a little warmth.

Bursts of floral fragrance followed.

where is this?
He really didn't die?
Lu Fan tried to turn his head to look at the surrounding environment, but was shocked to find that he couldn't move at all.

Suddenly, a severe pain came, making him gasp.

It was the flying sword, and the purple lightning.

Let him be seriously injured.

He was able to survive by luck, it should be the credit of Shenlong Bodyguard.

Coupled with the restoration of his body by the Undead Sutra, he was able to wake up.

It should be those two cultivators who thought he was dead and abandoned him here.

Just, where is this?

How is he hurt?
Can the strength be restored?
A series of questions flooded into his mind. Lu Fan wanted to reach out and touch his wound, but found that he couldn't even move his hand.

How to do?
Can I just wait here?
By the way, he has a property panel.

With a thought, Lu Fan opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 19/20 (damaged)
Strength: 0.93 (damaged)
Agility: 0.31 (impaired)
Mental power: 0.32 (damaged)
Physical strength: 0.45 (damaged)
Cultivation: Innate Three Realms

功法：道经No.13重（29500/70000），天心诀第七重（320/10000）

Martial arts: The starry sky sword art is perfect, the Xuanbing spear technique is perfect, the flying sky and ground body technique is perfect, and the sky-cracking sword technique is perfect

Assignable Attribute Points: 0.01
Looking at the attribute panel, Lu Fan understood.

No wonder he can't move now, it's because he's injured too badly.

The body is severely damaged, even worse than ordinary people.

The most urgent thing is to heal the injury first.

Huh?wrong.

His attributes are increasing little by little?

Is it because his body is recovering?
It appears his injury will heal itself.

This is of course due to his strong physical body and the powerful resilience of the Immortal Scripture.

And... aura?
Lu Fan's heart suddenly moved.

Even though he was seriously injured, he still keenly noticed that the aura here is extremely abundant.

It is more than ten times that of before.

Strange, isn't this Da Zhou?But the world of cultivating immortals?
When Lu Fan thought of this possibility, he couldn't help feeling a little bit, no wonder those cultivators are so powerful.

Not to mention other cultivation resources, but this abundant spiritual energy has greatly improved cultivation.

If he had practiced under such conditions, he might have been promoted to Transcendence long ago.

By the way, practice.

Although Lu Fan couldn't move his body, he could move his mind.

He just lay there quietly, the two kinds of exercises in his body were running at the same time, and began to heal his injuries.

The body is recovering visible to the naked eye.

After a while, his hands were able to move, and his body gradually recovered.

He got up and looked around.

It seemed that he was in a valley surrounded by mountains, with no end in sight.

Let's recover from the injury first.

Lu Fan sat down cross-legged and began to meditate to heal his injuries.

After a long time, he woke up from the meditation and opened the attribute panel.

His physical strength has returned to 12, and his strength has reached more than 20.

He lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest, which had healed.

It's just that his body was covered in blood, forming hard blood stains, emitting bursts of stench.

It's a pity that I didn't bring clothes and couldn't change.

Lu Fan glanced at the sky, but saw that it was getting dark, it should be in the evening.

He has only been in a coma for a long time?
The speed of those two immortal cultivators was so fast, it took less than half a day to come to the world of cultivating immortals from Da Zhou?

This speed, he is too far behind.

The same goes for strength.

If you want revenge, you have to continue to practice hard.

Then don't leave, just stay here to practice until his strength can take revenge.

As for Ye Qingyun and the child, although he also missed them, there was nothing he could do. If he went back, his strength would not improve much, and he would still be unable to protect himself.

It was still easy for those cultivators to kill him.

It's good here, at least he has plenty of aura, which allows him to quickly improve his strength.

With such a large mountain range, there should be wild beasts and wild fruits, right?

As long as there is food to eat, his assignable attribute points can continue to increase, which can better assist him in improving his strength.

In addition, he has enough experience in wild life, so he is suitable for practicing in this kind of place.

Go find something to eat.

Lu Fan rubbed his stomach, feeling hungry.

When he was about to get up, he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

It was blowing away with the wind.

It is the aroma of barbecue.

Is there anyone around here?
Lu Fan's heart tightened, if anyone was nearby, he would be in danger.

With his current strength, not to mention in the world of cultivating immortals, even in Dazhou, there are dangers everywhere.

In this world of cultivating immortals, after a person comes out, he is stronger than his current strength, right?
Thinking of this, he judged the direction the wind was blowing from, stood up, and walked in the opposite direction.

He had just walked a few steps, when he suddenly heard a cold voice, "Young man, don't go, since we can meet here, it means that we are destined, come and eat meat together."

"Ok?"

Lu Fan heard the voice right next to his ear, but turned around and looked around, but he didn't see anyone.

He didn't know whether the other party had good intentions or malicious intentions, but he knew that the other party's strength was far superior to his.

At least far beyond him now.

If the opponent wanted to kill him, he would have no power to fight back.

And can't run at all.

Since you can't hide, then don't run.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, let's face it calmly.

"Don't hold on, you go straight ahead, and you will see me soon."

That voice came again.

"it is good."

Lu Fan followed his words and walked straight forward.

The smell of roast meat is getting stronger and stronger.

When he got closer, he saw a boy in black, squatting on the ground and writhing barbecue.

The big piece of meat was skewered by bamboo sticks, and rolled in the fire in front of the boy.

Sizzling and oily.

The boy casually sprinkled a handful of seasoning, which made the aroma even more intense.

A black long knife was placed by the boy's hand.

The expression on Lu Fan's face froze, isn't that his Kunwu knife?How did it fall into the hands of the young man?
"This knife fell with you."

The young man pointed to the sky, then picked up the Kunwu knife and threw it to Lu Fan, "Here you are."

Lu Fan reached out to take the Kunwu knife and held it in his hand, feeling much more at ease.

He walked up to the boy and saw his face clearly.

The handsome face showed a bit of determination, which was somewhat similar to him.

No, this is not a teenager.

Upon closer inspection, there are fine wrinkles at the corners of the other party's eyes, and those eyes have lost a bit of the vigor of a young man, and a bit more of the vicissitudes of an elderly person, as if they have experienced hardships and seen through the world.

"I've been watching you since you fell."

The man in black said: "I see that you are seriously injured, it is a miracle that you survived, but I didn't expect you to recover so quickly, with such skill, you can move freely."

"If I'm not mistaken, have you ever practiced body refining?"

After the man in black finished speaking, he looked directly into Lu Fan's eyes.

"Yes."

Lu Fan admitted it frankly.

"now it's right."

The man in black handed a bunch of grilled meat to Lu Fan, "Here, eat."

"Thank you."

Lu Fan took the barbecue, took a big bite, and chewed quickly in his mouth.

A strong fragrance filled his mouth.

It was a taste he had never tasted before.

"What kind of meat is this?"

Lu Fan was a little curious.

The man in black smiled and said, "It's the meat of the black rock pig."

"what?"

Lu Fan was stunned, "What is a black rock pig?"

"The black rock pig is a first-order spirit beast."

After tossing the barbecue in his hand, the man in black continued, "It's the lowest level spirit beast."

"It turned out to be a spirit beast."

Lu Fan gulped down another piece of meat and sighed, "No wonder it's so delicious."

"This level of spirit beast is equivalent to the innate realm of a martial artist."

The man in black explained: "But they are slightly weaker than the innately strong ones, especially those in the ninth realm of innateness, whose strength must be far superior to that of the first-order spirit beasts."

"Ok?"

Lu Fan heard the meaning of the other party's words, and asked in surprise: "A martial artist?"

"Aren't you a martial artist?"

The man in black smiled, "Actually, I'm also a martial artist."

"what?"

Lu Fan was even more surprised. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered a person, and asked: "Dare to ask the senior's name?"

"My name is Wei He."

The man in black smiled and asked, "Could it be that you've heard of my name?"

"Wei He?"

Lu Fan was both surprised and delighted. He never expected that he would be able to meet that legendary figure here.

It turns out that this person is not dead!

"Sure enough, you've heard of me."

Wei He could see some clues from Lu Fan's expression.

"I have indeed heard of the predecessors."

Lu Fan admitted it frankly.

He was completely relieved that the other party should not have any ill intentions towards him.

Just because the fate of the two is the same, even the end is the same.

It seems that Wei He, like him, was injured by an immortal cultivator and then abandoned here.

"Could it be that you are also from the Great Zhou?"

Wei He was also a little curious, "What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Fan."

Lu Fan said truthfully: "It is indeed from Dazhou."

"Sure enough."

Wei He sighed softly, "Tell me, how did you get here?"

"it is good."

Lu Fan didn't hide anything from the invasion of Da Zhou to today, when he was injured by two immortals.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Wei He shook his head lightly, "You actually ended up with me."

"Senior, do you know who wants to kill you?"

Lu Fan asked: "The people who attacked you were also two immortals?"

"The person who wants to kill me, besides Emperor Da Zhou, who else?"

Wei He snorted coldly and said, "Although I have no evidence, I can guess that he did it."

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was a little puzzled, "In that case, why don't you go back and take revenge?"

"revenge?"

Wei He sighed: "I heard what you said just now, Da Zhou has changed to a new emperor? Who else should I seek revenge on?"

"Too."

Lu Fan thought of Li Tianrun, did Li Tianrun really want to kill him?
"Actually, I always thought about revenge at the beginning."

Wei He said: "But because I was seriously injured, it took several years to recover my strength."

"But even if the strength is restored, it is far from enough."

"It is almost impossible to defeat those cultivators."

"So, I have been staying here and concentrating on cultivation."

"My strength is slowly improving, and my mood has gradually changed."

"The longer the time passes, the weaker the heart of revenge will be."

"Decades have passed, and I am reluctant to leave here. I am used to living here."

"All hatred has become a passing cloud."

Speaking of this, Wei He glanced at Lu Fan, "You may be able to understand my state of mind in the future."

"I see."

Lu Fan still can't empathize with him.

For him, this revenge must be avenged!
Moreover, he has family members waiting for him to go back.

When he has revenge, he will go home.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan asked: "Senior, what is this place?"

"This is an abyss on the edge of the world of cultivating immortals, called Longlin Abyss."

While talking, Wei He pointed to the top of his head, "Look at the sky and the white clouds, are they a little far away from us? In fact, we are far away from the ground, let alone the sky."

"It's really far."

Lu Fan also found out, and sighed: "So this is an abyss, why is it called the dragon's abyss, is there a dragon here?"

"Whether there are dragons, I don't know."

Wei He said: "But I know that there are countless spirit beasts in the abyss, and there are many high-level spirit beasts."

"No wonder you can eat the meat of spirit beasts."

Lu Fan suddenly thought of it, "It turned out that the senior saved me. If there was no senior, maybe I would have become the belly of the spirit beast."

"You don't have to thank me."

Wei He waved his hand, "There are relatively few spirit beasts around here, and almost no high-grade spirit beasts appear. Even if I'm not here, you should be able to survive."

"Senior talked about the rank of the spirit beast, and how it compares with the strength of our martial practitioners."

Lu Fan brought up this topic again, and asked, "I don't know how many levels of spirit beasts can be defeated in the Ninth Realm of Innate Realm?"

"The grade of a spirit beast corresponds to the realm of a cultivator."

Wei He thought for a while and said, "But compared with us martial artists, it's not so easy to compare."

"Let me help you sort it out, and I don't know if you can understand it."

"The first-order spirit beast corresponds to the realm of cultivating immortals, which is the stage of refining Qi."

"The foundation-building period corresponding to the second-order spirit beast."

"Then followed by Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen, Lianxu, Fusion, and Mahayana."

"The period of crossing the catastrophe corresponding to the ninth-order spirit beast."

"As for the spirit beasts above the ninth rank, they are divine beasts, corresponding to real immortals."

"Except for the thirteen levels of the Qi refining stage, the other realms of cultivation are divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and consummation."

"It's the same as the elementary, intermediate, advanced, and peak levels of our martial arts practitioners."

"Of course, the innate realm of a martial artist has a total of nine realms. In terms of realm, it is equivalent to the thirteenth stage of the Qi Refining Stage."

"But the actual strength should be stronger than the Qi refining period."

"It's just because there are nine grades before Xiantian."

"It makes the foundation laid by us martial artists more solid."

"Therefore, the strength of a martial artist in the nine innate realms is equivalent to the foundation-building stage of an immortal cultivator."

As he spoke, Wei He glanced at Lu Fan, "And a super-powerful person should be equivalent to the golden core stage of a cultivator."

"Oh."

Lu Fan understood.

Before he was injured, his true strength was equivalent to that of a superpower who had just entered the extraordinary.

In other words, he is similar to a cultivator who has just entered Jindan.

It should be slightly higher than the immortal cultivator who has completed the foundation establishment.

"Senior, what is the cultivation level above the extraordinary?"

After Lu Fan compared himself, he realized that his strength in the world of cultivating immortals could only be regarded as middle or lower.

"To be above the extraordinary is to become holy."

Wei He explained patiently: "Becoming a saint is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of a cultivator."

"Further up is the Saint King Realm, which is equivalent to the stage of transformation of immortals."

"Then there is the realm of heaven and man. Since our martial arts practitioners' realm is lower than that of immortal cultivators, in terms of strength, it is really not easy to compare."

"Based on my estimation, the strength of the warriors in the Heaven-Human Realm is higher than that of the immortal cultivators of the Void Refining Stage, but weaker than that of the Immortal Cultivators of the Composite Stage, so it's somewhere in between."

"As for going further up, it is the Land of Gods and Wonderland, which is already the highest realm of our martial arts practitioners."

"For this realm, it only exists in legends, so I don't know much about it."

"Let me guess, the strength of the warriors in the terrestrial fairyland is definitely higher than that of the immortal cultivators in the fusion stage, but they may be weaker than the immortal cultivators in the Mahayana stage."

"It's still somewhere in between."

After finishing speaking, Wei He shook his head lightly, "After all, there are too few people who have learned martial arts, so it is difficult to make a convincing comparison."

"understood."

Lu Fan nodded. Although what Wei He said may not be completely correct, it can at least give him a reference.

Let him know what he knows when he encounters a cultivator in the future.

"Senior, I don't know what cultivation level you have now?"

"My talents are limited."

Wei He said modestly: "It's just barely entering the realm of heaven and man."

"Heaven-human realm?"

Lu Fan said in shock: "That's already very strong, and it's only one step away from entering the Land of Gods and Wonderland."

"Still a long way to go."

Wei He smiled, and said: "Although there is only one realm short, this step is more difficult than ascending to the sky."

"Too."

Lu Fan also knew in his heart that the more he cultivated, the more difficult it would be.

Every realm can trap countless people.

No one in a million, or even one in a billion, can make it to the end.

"By the way, how did senior survive?"

Lu Fan was a little curious, "Have you ever left Longlin Abyss?"

"Just like you, I have also practiced body training."

Wei He thought for a while and said, "The people who killed me thought I was dead, so they threw me into the abyss."

"Fortunately, there are no spirit beasts in the place where they abandoned me."

"I rely on absorbing spiritual energy to exercise my skills and heal my injuries."

"If you are hungry, you will find wild fruits, if you are thirsty, you will find mountain springs."

"I have been practicing for several years before I fully recovered my strength."

"Then concentrate on practicing until today."

"During the period, I went out a few times and exchanged the beast pill for what I needed."

"For example, spirit stones, exercises, martial arts, etc."

Speaking of this, Wei He sighed lightly, "Fortunately, I finally made it through."

"It's not easy."

At this time, Lu Fan could empathize with Wei He's situation.

In comparison, he is much luckier.

The two were talking and quickly finished the barbecue.

"Okay, I'm going to practice."

Wei He got up and said, "You can rest here to heal your wounds, don't go anywhere, with me here, no one can touch you."

"Thank you senior."

Lu Fan expressed sincere thanks.

With his current strength, he really needs Wei He's protection.

Otherwise, a random spirit beast could easily kill him.

"you are welcome."

Wei He smiled and said: "When I see you, I see me back then. Helping you is equivalent to helping myself."

After speaking, he turned and entered a cave.

Lu Fan sat down cross-legged and opened the attribute panel.

Seeing the soaring attributes, he was very pleasantly surprised.

This barbecue is worth it.

It has a great effect on his recovery from injuries, and what surprised him even more is that the distributable attributes have increased by a full 3 points.

Even when he wasn't full.

What's more, this is only a first-order spirit beast.

If he could eat high-grade spirit beast meat, wouldn't his injuries recover quickly?

Correspondingly, his assignable attributes can also increase rapidly.

His strength will naturally skyrocket.

What a great place!

Especially for him, practicing here is perfect.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Those two immortal cultivators did him a great favor, allowing him to come to the world of cultivating immortals from the mortal world, and met Wei He.

So that he can practice safely here.

He decided not to leave, but to practice hard here.

After his strength reaches a certain level, he will find out the two people who killed him, and the Cultivation Sect behind them.

And of course, there's the man behind the scenes.

Regardless of whether it was Li Tianrun or not, he had to find out and kill him.

He will avenge this revenge!
He can't let go of his hatred like Wei He did.

……

……

the next morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance, smelling the aroma of rice.

"you're awake?"

Wei He waved to him from inside the cave, "Come and eat."

"it is good."

Lu Fan got up and walked into the cave, only to see a few tables and chairs, kitchen utensils such as pots and pans, and a small bed.

There is a black porcelain pot on the table with the lid open, and the meat and vegetables inside can be seen.

The fragrance comes from here.

Wei He filled two bowls of rice, took two pairs of chopsticks, handed the rice and chopsticks to Lu Fan, and said with a smile, "It's still the black rock pig, enough for us to eat for several days."

Lu Fan took the bowl and chopsticks, a little puzzled, "Can the meat be kept for a few days?"

"of course."

Wei He smiled and raised his hand, "I have this."

Lu Fan took a closer look and found that it was a bronze ring. Thinking of the legend he had heard, he asked in surprise, "Is this a storage ring?"

"Yes."

Wei He smiled and said: "There is a lot of space inside, and you can store a lot of things. The most important thing is that things won't break."

"You actually have such treasures."

Lu Fan was quite envious.

"In the world of cultivating immortals, such things are not rare."

Wei He said: "When your strength recovers in the future, you can hunt and kill spirit beasts by yourself. After taking out the beast pills, he can exchange the beast pills for spirit treasures."

"Not to mention storage rings, like spirit stones, exercises, martial arts, and even spiritual weapons, etc., as long as you want, you can exchange them."

"Of course, the premise is that you have enough animal pills."

"The higher the grade, the more valuable it is."

After finishing speaking, Wei He urged: "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"it is good."

As Lu Fan ate his rice, he could taste the smell of black rock pig and wild vegetables.

At the same time, he felt more hopeful.

When he recovers from his injuries, he will also go hunting spirit beasts and exchange the beast pills for various spirit treasures.

With the blessing of various spirit treasures, his strength will definitely be greatly improved.

"That's right, senior."

Lu Fan remembered something and asked, "Since there are countless spirit beasts here, there are also many immortal cultivators who come here to hunt and kill them, right?"

"It's quite a lot."

Wei He understood what Lu Fan meant, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, there are almost no spirit beasts in this place where we are, so no one comes here."

"Oh."

Lu Fan dispelled the last trace of doubt, he can completely relax, heal his injuries and practice here, and recover his strength as soon as possible.
