Chapter 52 Fishing in troubled waters and getting it
Demon pills are rare among first- and second-order monsters. Only extremely powerful second-order monsters or third-order monsters or above will often have demon pills. . But the magic beads are different. The probability of the magic bead appearing is one in ten thousand. In the entire world of immortality, there are only a few rumors about the magic bead.
According to legend, today's monsters are all different races descended from various behemoths and giant monsters in ancient times. Although the bloodline is so thin that it can be ignored. But it is also possible that part of the ability is awakened inexplicably and a magical orb is formed in the body. It's not that the higher the strength of the monster, the easier it is to awaken. The appearance of magic beads has no rules at all.
What is awakened may not necessarily be a very powerful innate spell, but it may also be a very useless and insignificant ability. After all, in ancient times, not every monster was very powerful.
However, once one inherits an extremely powerful spell, as the awakener's cultivation improves, he is likely to have great power that can move mountains and seas.
"Grab the magic beads, snatch the demon pills!"
At this time, the faces of the monks around him were filled with enthusiasm, and they completely lost their senses. The legend about the Dharma Bead is distant and mysterious, and has been passed down from mouth to mouth. Some people even believe that once they obtain the Dharma Bead, their cultivation level will skyrocket, soar in the nine heavens, ignore all living beings, and achieve the golden elixir path.
There are also some ignorant monks who don’t even know what the magic beads are. But seeing that the monks around him looked crazy, no matter how stupid they were, they could tell that it must be an extraordinary treasure.
Thousands of monks rushed down from the lake to compete for the treasure. The scene was so spectacular that it was breathtaking.
"Haha, I grabbed it, the magic bead is mine." A young monk, riding a white eagle, was the fastest and held the magic bead in his hand first, and was ecstatic , and went to catch the demon pill again.
"Idiot." Lu Xiaotian said coldly. Before he finished speaking, dozens of spells were fired at the low-altitude white eagle. The white eagle and the young monk who were hit by various spells screamed in agony before they could make any defense. They were blasted into a ball of blood mist by the swarm of spells, and a large number of white eagle feathers fell from the sky.
Witnessing the tragic death of the young monk, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He naturally had some thoughts about the magic beads when he went to the lake. It's just that the monks around him have fallen into an almost crazy situation. Almost anyone who can grab it will be besieged by the surrounding monks as long as they can't escape immediately.
Even the foundation-building monks dare not say that they can escape unscathed in such a chaotic situation. The previous crystal toad was so powerful that it was besieged to death. Not to mention that the people present were all Qi Refining Stage monks.
After thinking about this clearly, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but shake his head. Maybe this magic bead is enough to join any sect. It’s just that even though the treasure is good, you still have to have a life to get it. He didn't think he had the ability to take away the magic beads in front of everyone. So Lu Xiaotian retreated to the next best thing and focused on the scattered spiritual stones and some spiritual objects in the mud of the lake that had been ignored by everyone to a certain extent. Lu Xiaotian was so excited that he harvested more than a dozen low-grade water spirit stones and four or five ice spirit stones. The water spirit stones were okay, he had some stored in the barrier, but the three series of ice, wind and thunder spirit stones were very scarce, so keeping them would be useful in the future.
“Zhiwu Ore!” Lu Xiaotian put another piece of ore required in the Ancient Sword Sect mission into the barrier. I heard that it can be used to refine the magical weapon Zhiwu Sword. Such a small piece is worth a lot of money, at least worth hundreds of spiritual stones.
Although he couldn't get the best treasure, it was good to get so much oil and water. Lu Xiaotian was quite content. Even if he was refining the Qi Gathering Pill, it would take a long time to earn hundreds of spirit stones.
"Huh?" When Lu Xiaotian reached for a water spirit stone, another hand jumped on it first. He glared and saw that he was still an acquaintance, the fat man he met before entering Wangyue City who sold him the rules of the fairy city. The man Zhu Yinhua, perhaps because he saw that his cultivation was much higher than him, after Zhu Yinhua got the spirit stone, he immediately turned around and slipped into other places among the crowd, without even recognizing him. Lu Xiaotian burst into laughter. This fat man is really cunning. With such a fat body and low cultivation level, he is still able to sneak in and out of the crowded treasure hunting army. It is also a skill. A low-grade spiritual stone with no serious conflicts, Lu Xiaotian didn’t bother to care about it. It seems that in addition to the fanatical monks who snatch demon pills and magic beads, there are also people like him who are self-aware and look for benefits.
At this time, the bottom of the lake was filled with an extremely strong smell of blood. I don’t know how many monks died fighting for the demon pill and magic beads. Lu Xiaotian tried his best to avoid the whirlpool of the fight. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, it would be very dangerous to get involved.
Even though he is very careful, sometimes the development of the situation is beyond his control. A ferocious man with a sinister face jumped up and grabbed the magic bead in the air. But soon, more than a dozen wind blades shot past. The hand holding the magic bead was cut off at the root in an instant.
"Ah, my hand!" The ferocious man screamed, but at this time no one paid attention to him as the loser in the fight. Several other monks desperately tried to grab the magic beads in their hands, but then Dozens more spells came over. Several people shrank their necks and temporarily retreated unwillingly. There were corpses everywhere, with broken limbs and arms. Maybe too many people died. In a very short period of time, no one caught the broken arms, so that the broken arms fell into the mud.
"Where has the Dharma Pearl gone?"
"Whoever stole the Dharma Pearl, hand it over, or I will kill you all!" There was a commotion all around.
"Magic Pearl!" Lu Xiaotian's breath suddenly stagnated. He deliberately planted flowers but they didn't bloom. Unexpectedly, he didn't have the idea of fighting for it, and the Magic Pearl was within reach. The monks not far away got into a fuss and became murderous because of the short disappearance of the magic bead.
Wealth comes from danger. He doesn't fight for it because the chance of losing his life is too high, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to get the treasure. Lu Xiaotian was worried. Now that he was in front of him, he would be a fool if he didn't think otherwise. There is no risk in being in the world of immortality. So without thinking, he grabbed the magic bead in the broken arm's hand as quickly as possible and sent it into the barrier.
"Damn, the magic bead is gone. Some turtle has hidden it. Hand it over quickly!"
The monks who couldn't see the magic bead were angry and anxious. They fought for a long time and spent most of their energy. In order to replenish the consumption, a lot of spiritual stones were used, and now suddenly I found that the treasure I was fighting for had mysteriously disappeared.
"Some bastard must have put the magic beads into the storage bag. Look for them one by one to find the magic beads." Many people shouted angrily.
“Master Liao, Master Hu, it seems that someone has obtained the treasure, but we don’t know who this person is. We have been busy for several days, how can we return empty-handed? There are many casual cultivators here, just by us One of the forces, I'm afraid no one can subdue these casual cultivators. We might as well join forces to block all the passages into the lake and even several passages around the lake, go through all the storage bags, and collect all the methods. How about finding the pearls and then auctioning them off equally?”
The old monster with long eyebrows wiped the mud from his face and looked quite embarrassed. He is a monk in the late stage of Qi refining and usually does not let others go. In his eyes, even the dead old man Feipeng was not afraid. He didn't expect that fighting for treasures in the lake would make him so embarrassed, and he would still get nothing. Naturally, the old monster with long eyebrows would not give in.
