Chapter 267 Weird White Insect
"We found signs that our cultivation has improved again!" Bian Qing said with excitement in his eyes, and Su Yulang on the side had the same expression.
Su Ziyi was also very surprised by this.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he circulated the spiritual power in Bian Qing's body for a small week, and then Su Yulang did the same. It turned out that it was true as the two of them said. Their cultivation level, which they had just been promoted to, had once again advanced a little, and there were faint signs of opening up the next acupuncture point!
This is how the same thing?
Su Ziyi pondered.
He took back the Jiamu Essence from Bian Qing, wondering if there would be a problem with the Jiamu Essence? But the two of them didn't have an epiphany, it didn't look like them. Moreover, he himself has used the essence of armor and wood before, and knows that if the essence of armor and wood is really used for cultivation, it will never allow Bian Qing and Su Yulang to improve just a little bit, at least to the first level of cultivation.
So...
after speculation, Su Ziyi also activated Qing Ling Gui Yi Jue, letting the spiritual power circulate in his body for a small week, and then he was surprised to find that the sea of qi in his Dantian seemed to have changed a little? It's just that there aren't too many changes. If you don't explore carefully, it's really difficult to find.
At this time, Su Ziyi was absolutely sure that their growth in strength had nothing to do with the essence of Jiamu.
If so, what does it have to do with?
A sudden idea struck his mind, and Su Ziyi's eyes seemed to be glowing as he looked towards the exit of the passage. Even though all he saw was darkness, his whole heart was burning at the moment.
It’s a nightmare floral scent!
How could he forget the function of Granny Weng’s residual prescription? Since the nightmare flower can appear in the prescription, it means that it must promote the efficacy of the medicine, otherwise it would not be written in it. And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the nightmare flower plays a big role in this elixir, and may even be one of the main medicines!
How could this make Su Ziyi not excited?
Bian Qing and Su Yulang couldn't help but be curious when they saw his face turn red. When Su Ziyi told them his guess, they immediately became excited.
Afterwards, the three of them rested on the spot for most of the day, solving most of the remaining problems in their bodies, and then walked back to the return road.
Returning to the nightmare flower sea again, this time the three people's mood was different from that of worthiness. Looking at these charming flowers was like seeing a treasure. Under the leadership of Su Ziyi, each of them swallowed a piece of nightmare flower root, and then fell into the sea of nightmare flowers and began to pick nightmare flowers.
By the time they left the sea of nightmare flowers and emerged from the deep ditch, it was already the next day.
Although they each suffered a lot during this trip, they gained a lot, so they were all in a good mood. However, this good mood disappeared when they encountered the first skeleton lying on the ground.
"This is..." Looking at this forest-white skeleton wearing complete clothes, Bian Qing felt familiar no matter how he looked at it.
"They are exactly the same as the two dead followers next to An Shulin." Su Ziyi has a good memory, and he woke up Bian Qing and Su Yulang who were still a little confused with one sentence, causing them to exclaim: "Indeed, they are really the same. Yes! But what's going on?" They didn't remember anyone else being killed by Su Ziyi except An Shulin and the other three.
"Let's walk forward." Su Ziyi said as a bad idea flashed through his mind.
"Okay." Looking at Su Ziyi's serious face, Bian Qing and the others knew that Su Ziyi should already have the answer in his heart. They couldn't say anything to object, so they nodded and followed.
That skeleton was just the beginning.
Then, they quickly discovered the second, third... and even more skeletons, some of which were grouped together, as if they had transformed into this at the same time. But around them, there was no blood or traces of fighting. Everything was clean, as if the flesh and blood organs on their bodies had been evaporated in an instant.
After reading so much, Bian Qing and Su Yulang also had the answer in their hearts.
"It's the white bug, right?" Su Yulang turned his head and looked at Su Ziyi, with confusion in his eyes.
Su Ziyi nodded towards him: "Yes." He took a deep breath, feeling chilled by An Shulin's cruelty and cruelty: "I'm afraid that after we came to the north of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, among the cultivators we encountered None of them are alive, they are all disguised by those white insects." This can also explain why An Shulin kept the jade pendant tokens after killing the people.
Keep it so you can disguise it.
In addition, what makes Su Ziyi deeply afraid is that when they used their spiritual sense to detect these disguised people, they clearly detected the cultivation level of the other party. But if what they saw was just an illusion created by the bug, then how could the bug imitate his cultivation? And what is the white bug that can do this?
It's absolutely terrible.
At this moment, Su Ziyi was completely wary of An Shulin's group, and was determined to find out which cultivators liked to use insects after leaving the water realm. Whether it's a nightmare spider or this little white insect, the methods of a cultivator like An Shulin who can control insects are so beyond human imagination that people have to be on guard against them.
The northern mountains, which were still relatively active at first, were completely quiet now. The only ones not affected were the monsters and plants that originally lived here.
After experiencing this, none of the three of them wanted to talk at this moment. They didn't deal with the skeletons, but walked around far away and went all the way up. The higher you go up, the fewer bones you can see, the surrounding vegetation begins to become more lush, and traces of high-level monsters begin to appear.
"Paint it with mud and see if we can find some useful spiritual herbs here. If not, let's go directly over the mountains from here to the plains on the other side of the Monster Mountain Range." Su Ziyi was the first to break the silence, and even moved towards Bian Qing and Su Yulang smiled. Seeing his smile, Bian Qing felt a little more relaxed.
"Okay."
Although they are high-level monsters, the high-level monsters in the north are somewhat different from those in other parts of the Monster Mountain Range. At the very least, when Su Ziyi and the others climbed to the top, the monsters with the highest cultivation levels they saw were only fourth-level monsters, and there was no shadow at all for fifth-level or even sixth-level monsters. For such a situation, the three of them didn't have to avoid it at all. They just let Su Ziyi go up to fight with the opponent with his sword.
And with the help of these monsters, Su Ziyi's skills improved at a very fast speed, and his understanding of the Zhiyi Sword Art became deeper and deeper, and there were even signs of breaking through the first level.
"Spread without a trace!" With one move, the fourth-level monsters surrounding Su Ziyi fell to the ground with a thump. The bodies of these two monster beasts were covered with sword wounds caused by sword energy, which showed how cruel the previous fight was. Su Ziyi, who had caused all these consequences, was also stained with blood. His face and body were covered in blood, and his head was even a little dizzy because the last blow drained all the spiritual power from his body.
"Are you okay?" As soon as the two monsters fell to the ground, Bian Qing rushed up and checked Su Ziyi's condition with concern. After discovering that Su Ziyi had no big problem, his heart completely dropped. At the same time, he looked at Su Ziyi with more and more reverence. He felt that Su Ziyi had made more progress in recent times than he imagined.
This undoubtedly inspired him more and more to become stronger.
"Father, Eminem, look." After the battle, Su Yulang did not surround Su Ziyi, but first went to the monster's nest to pick back a mature Seven Frost Leaf. You must know that this Seven Frost Leaf is a good thing, otherwise it would not be guarded by two fourth-level monsters. Now that it is in the hands of my father, it will definitely play a greater role. Su Yulang thought beautifully.
"Well done." Qishuangye is a precious spiritual herb, so Su Ziyi was very happy to see these things.
"It has been fifteen days since we entered the Water Swamp Realm. Should we continue hunting on the Monster Mountain Range for the remaining few days?" There are more good things in the territory of high-level monster beasts than they thought, so this time On the way, their harvest was pretty good, and they got a few spiritual herbs that were impossible to buy outside. This couldn't help but make them feel a little reluctant to miss their country, and some even didn't want to go to the plains on the other side of the mountains.
"Let's watch while we walk." Su Ziyi said.
The water realm is very big, and it is impossible for them to get all the good things, so it is better to take it one step at a time. Moreover, there are more people and forces entering the water realm this time than last time, and they are more mixed. There may be traces of these people in the plain area below.
Su Ziyi's words became a prophecy.
Before they reached the plain at the foot of the other side of the Monster Mountain Range, they discovered traces of people on the Monster Mountain Range, and the traces of those people were exactly opposite to theirs, heading towards the top of the Monster Mountain Range.
"This -" Bian Qing always speculated on cultivators with the greatest malice, so when he found out, he frowned.
"We have mud on our bodies, they can't find us." Su Ziyi is also cautious, and among the three of them, he is a foundation-building practitioner. It is inevitable that he will be targeted by some people with ulterior motives, so he can avoid it if he can. He avoided it well: "We'll just go around it."
"Okay." Bian Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Su Ziyi had no intention of confronting the other party.
Unfortunately, their luck was really bad. Even if they wanted to avoid it, the other party bumped into them with such force that they had to carefully hide in the dark and watch the two groups of people fighting fiercely in front of them.
Chapter 268 Clear Water Lotus Heart
Practitioners fight for no other reason than those.
Hiding in the dark, the three people of the Su family could clearly see that behind the two groups of people was a pond no larger than half an acre of land. The water in the pool is so clear that it looks like a piece of glass without impurities when viewed from a high place. It is so beautiful that it makes people feel calm.
However, when his eyes moved to the center of the pool, this calmness no longer existed.
Because I saw a white lotus flower that was as big as a basin in full bloom. The slender green lotus pole supported the huge flower. When it was blown by the wind, it showed a weak trembling feeling, which made people's hearts tremble. Somewhat numb. Next to this lotus, two or three fully bloomed lotus leaves clustered around it, as if to help it block all wind and rain.
It's just that their protection is too insignificant, and they can only tremble in the face of other external predators.
And this is the very important spiritual grass for refining the Foundation Building Pill - Qingshui Lotus Heart.
Last year, Su Ziyi was lucky enough to get a piece of clear water lotus heart from the black eyebrow man. Apart from this, he has never seen the shadow of Qingshui Lianxin again, including the last auction in Qixia Town. Therefore, this time, when he suddenly saw a living clear water lotus heart growing in front of him, Su Ziyi's breathing could not help but slow down.
This clear water lotus heart is not yet mature, but looking at the petals that have bloomed to the extreme, it must not be long before maturity.
On the shore, the two groups of people were still fighting fiercely. Not far behind them, the corpse of a snake-like monster was half lying on the shore and half soaked in the water. The surrounding area was covered with sprayed blood and traces of a fight. It seems that this clear water lotus heart was originally this monster. The thing that the beast was guarding was accidentally discovered by these two groups of cultivators. As a result, he died. Now Qingshui Lianxin will also fall into the hands of these people.
These two groups of people are from two aristocratic families.
Without the government and other forces, the fig leaf between the aristocratic families was also torn off in the face of interests. Su Ziyi has never met these two aristocratic families, but just from their cultivation base, it can be seen that they are not a big aristocratic family, but a smaller aristocratic family or a reasonably good cultivating family, because the cultivation base inside them is The highest level is still in the early stages of foundation building.
This couldn't help but make Su Ziyi feel a little anxious.
Bian Qing heard Su Ziyi's breathing quicken a little, and suddenly his body stiffened and he looked sideways. Then, as expected, he saw the heat in Su Ziyi's eyes, which made him entangled. He didn't know whether to support Su Ziyi or hold Su Ziyi back to stop him from acting impulsively.
He turned his head and looked at the two groups of people who were fighting fiercely, and silently evaluated the opponent's combat effectiveness. In the end, he just felt that if the opponent continued to fight like this, they might really have a good chance. . Therefore, he silently put away his objections and focused on the battlefield like Su Ziyi.
There were three people on both sides. The two foundation-building cultivators were fighting fiercely with swords in mid-air. The Qi-refining cultivators below were also fighting with swords and blood. It didn't take long before someone was injured.
The one who was hit was a middle-aged woman at the seventh level of Qi refining. She had a skinny face, and her yellow skin turned pale in an instant when she was stabbed by a sword. She lost most of her fighting power in one fell swoop. It's going to be bad right now. Seeing this, her companions quickly threw away their opponents and came towards her. With one hand, they pulled the person back, and with the sword in the other, they blocked the person's pursuing attack, narrowly and narrowly saving the middle-aged woman. of a life.
Dragging someone in his hand, this middle-aged Shuang'er, who was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, couldn't let go and fight, so he could only fight and retreat with the person back. It's just that the two people on the other side are not vegetarians. They are ruthless in their moves, so they decided to take this opportunity to keep these two people here completely!
Under the attack between the two, even if their strength was not as high as Shuang'er's, they still put more and more pressure on Shuang'er. In addition, the other party was already ruthless, so they had no scruples in their methods and used various tricks frequently. De Shuang'er became more and more embarrassed, with more and more injuries on his body, and there was already a look of despair in his eyes.
At this moment, a huge sound of falling water suddenly came from behind, causing several of them to turn their heads and look over.
Su Ziyi and others, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, had already seen the matter clearly.
The person who fell into the water was a foundation-building cultivator. Judging from the aura on his body, he should have just established the foundation not long ago, so when he was fighting with another early-stage foundation-building cultivator, he quickly fell into a disadvantage. Although he also caused a lot of injuries to the opponent, as time passed, he himself lost his spiritual power. The opponent found an opportunity and hit the vital point with a blow. He fell into a pool of water, and his life and death were unknown.
Looking at the foundation-building cultivator who was still flying in mid-air, the expressions of the Qi-refining cultivators below varied.
The ones who were happy were Shuang'er and the woman, but the ones who looked ugly were the two people who wanted to kill Shuang'er before.
"Husband, save me!" A blush rose on the middle-aged woman's face, and she suddenly came to life as she screamed. At the moment she screamed, Shuang'er who was standing in front of her frowned, but he also raised his eyebrows to stop her, and even very smartly knocked back the two people standing in front of her by a foot or two. .
The two people who were repelled knew something was wrong. After exchanging glances, they immediately ran away regardless of whether the person who fell into the water was still alive or not.
But how could they escape?
The woman was a narrow-minded person. When she saw the two of them showing signs of running away, she completely ignored the injuries on her body. She grabbed the arms of the two children in front of her and climbed up slowly. As she climbed, she shouted: "Don't let me go." Them! Kill them!" One pair of eyes were red, as if soaked in blood, and although the pair did not speak, their expressions were cold, and they seemed to agree with her words.
The two people who escaped were faster.
But the ones who were faster than them were the foundation-building practitioners who controlled the sword.
The two of them ran out only about ten feet away, when they felt a chill on their necks, their entire field of vision floated up, as if they were flying, and then nothing happened.
The two heads rolled on the ground for a long distance. The woman was still staring fiercely in displeasure, but the pair in front of her no longer cared about her, and directly took her hands off his body, with a look of concern on her cold face. She walked towards the foundation-building cultivator who had landed on the ground, and held his arm intimately: "Husband, are you okay?" At this time, the woman's eyes, which were like knives, all fell on Shuang'er.
But Shuang'er didn't seem to know anything about this, and all his attention was focused on his husband.
And this foundation-building cultivator, whose hair was already somewhat white, was obviously very grateful for Shuang'er's concern. Under Shuang'er's service, he swallowed the elixir to heal his wounds, then stretched out his hand and patted the back of Shuang'er's hand. His eyes were very gentle and he said: "You did a good job." After that, he turned his attention to Shuang'er again. On the clear water lotus heart in the pool: "If you bring this elixir back this time, you will definitely be rewarded by the family. Then I will see if I can help you ask for a few foundation-building pills." "You just need to work harder
. We can also build the foundation."
"Then thank you, husband." Shuang'er's face was filled with a smile, his movements became gentler, and he completely forgot about the livid-faced woman.
Even if he won, the foundation-building cultivator was still seriously injured. However, when he thought that someone would come here at any time, he couldn't calm down to heal his injuries. After taking a few deep breaths, he threw the flying sword to clear the water. The lotus hearts were picked and brought back.
At this moment, the clear water lotus heart is very close to the edge of maturity. Most of the petals blooming around the lotus heart have fallen off, leaving only a few lonely petals remaining on it, forming petals one by one at an unhurried speed. falling down. And as the petals fall, a strange fragrance emanates from it, which is a sign that the Qingshui lotus heart is completely mature.
How can this foundation-building cultivator still hold back this time? He immediately jumped onto the flying sword, his body turned sideways due to his injury, but the temptation of Qingshui Lianxin made him quickly adjust and prepare to control the sword forward with all his strength.
But at this moment, a sound broke through the air from behind, passing by him at a speed that he didn't have time to react, and reached the center of the pool in one fell swoop. I saw a guy in a black robe stretched out his hand, and the newly matured Qingshui Lianxin followed the man's back and disappeared into the dense forest ahead.
…………………………
Quiet , extremely quiet.
For a moment, everyone present was stunned and speechless. It wasn't until their bodies felt the discomfort of suffocation due to holding their breath for too long that they reacted and became furious. The foundation-building cultivator who was already standing on the flying sword rushed straight into the dense forest with his sword without even thinking, intending to catch up and take back Qingshui Lianxin.
But as soon as they entered the dense forest, others became stupid. Because wherever he looked, there was only a patch of green, and no one could be seen. When his spiritual consciousness was released, no trace of anyone was found, as if what he just saw was just a dream.
Behind him, the pair of children who reacted belatedly also followed up. When they saw their husband stopped in mid-air like a wooden stake, they knew that something was wrong.
The person who suddenly rushed into it and took Qingshui Lianxin away was naturally Su Ziyi. Although he can beat him if he wants to, Su Ziyi is not a murderous person, so there is no need at all. He can just snatch the things away.
When the foundation-building cultivator was so embarrassed that he was rioting in the forest, he had already put away the black robe on his body, and using the cover of the mud on his body and the dense forest, he returned to the waiting area of the water pool and followed him. Bian Qing and Su Yulang met up.
