Chapter 17: Dividing the treasure, the universe within the cauldron
The sword penetrated seven inches, cutting off the vitality.
The dripping blood soaked Chisong's sword edge, and Lu Cheng immediately retreated.
At this time, the power of the Small Seal Qingfeng Talisman was still in effect, so the young Taoist's movements were really as fast as the swift wind.
The dying monster is the most terrifying. Even if the monster's vitality is pierced through its vitals, it may still have the power to fight back extremely violently in a short period of time and die with the enemy.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Almost the moment after Lu Cheng retreated, the bloody mouth of the white-scaled snake had violently bit him at the spot where he had been just a moment ago.
Bang.
The sound of Senbai's sharp teeth biting the air.
What followed was an even more violent roar and struggle.
"Roar..."
Click, click.
However, Chen Qingfeng saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he relaxed and reacted a little slower.
Under the violent struggle of the white-scaled snake, the golden earth and stone around its body shattered and cracked inch by inch, allowing it to break free from the oppression of the earthen prison golden formation and break through the formation with its strength.
"Poof"
Chen Qingfeng didn't have time to disconnect his magic power from the formation in the future, but was affected by the huge backlash, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. .
"Brother!"
Chen Qingyun exclaimed and ran over.
Chen Qingfeng raised his arms and raised his palms to reassure his sister. He held the Dao Sect Technique in his left hand and pressed it several times on his chest to suppress the internal injuries.
“Ahem, it’s okay, it’s just that my internal organs received some impact, nothing serious.”
At this time, Lu Cheng sacrificed the Thunder Hammer, the Lightning Mother Cone and the Six Desire Peach Blossom Fan, suspended beside him, staring at the wildly rolling and struggling snake, until it gradually stopped rolling and made no more movement.
"Come back."
Lu Cheng took back the magic weapon and made another move. The red pine flying sword that had fallen on the ground and was inserted into the rock flew back in response to the Taoist's words and fell back into Lu Cheng's hand.
Lu Cheng looked at the sword sideways and found that the originally green blade of the Red Pine Sword had turned into a long red sword after being soaked in blood.
To this day, it is worthy of its name: ancient sword, red pine.
“It is worthy of being the sword embryo given by Master Chi Shenzi. Although it is only a first-order high-grade magical sword, its toughness is almost no less than that of an ordinary second-order magical sword.”
Lu Cheng slowly stroked the blade of the sword with his two fingers. After checking, he found that the sword itself was not damaged in any way. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It was only then that he turned around and walked to the Chen brothers and sisters.
At this time, Chen Qingfeng was sitting cross-legged and meditating, and when Chen Qingyun saw Lu Cheng coming, he just smiled and called out: "Senior Brother Lu"
Before she finished speaking, a handle The red-edged sword was already leaning across her slender neck.
"Lu...Senior Brother Lu, you..."
Chen Qingyun was completely stunned at this moment.
Even Chen Qingfeng, who was meditating and adjusting his breath, seemed to feel the reaction and frowned slightly.
"Brother Chen is injured, and now I have a sword on your neck. If I want to kill you two and take the proceeds from this demon slaying, it will be easy." The next moment, Lu Cheng sheathed his sword.
“I won’t do this, but that doesn’t mean others won’t do it either. Don’t trust others easily in the future, and hold at least one talisman in your hand that can be used to protect yourself.”
Lu Cheng had a good impression of the brother and sister, so he used this method to deepen the memory of the two of them.
Maybe this will save lives in the future, so that both parties will have more opportunities to interact in the future.
"Ah, Senior Brother Lu, you scared me to death. Phew..."
Chen Qingyun caressed her slender neck. At this moment, the little girl's expression was extremely rich and she wanted to complain. But he didn’t dare.
Not long after, Chen Qingfeng also finished adjusting his breath.
He also felt something about what happened just now, but at this moment he quite agreed with Lu Cheng's approach.
"Brother Lu is right. Sometimes my sister-in-law trusts others too easily. It is definitely a good thing to deepen her memory like this."
"Brother, what are you talking about? If it weren't for Senior Brother Lu, How could I not be prepared at all?" Chen Qingyun defended himself unconvinced.
"Of course Senior Brother Lu can be trusted, and even most of our fellow brothers in the Fire Cloud Mansion can be trusted, but what about the monks in the Walking Corpse Cave, the Ghost Sect, and the Miaoyu Cave? They are also trustworthy. He practiced in Huoyun Mansion."
When he said this, Chen Qingfeng glanced at Chen Qingyun, then subconsciously looked at Lu Cheng, but he couldn't continue.
Because the monks from the three sects of the Walking Corpse Cave, the Ghost Sect, and the Miaoyu Cave also presented Taoism to the real person Red God Son, and only then could they live in the spiritual veins of Huoyun Mountain with the real person’s permission. The middle-aged man committed evil and serious crimes, which made many pure cultivators in Huoyun Mountain's spiritual line extremely disgusted, but they couldn't understand why the real person Chi Shenzi let in the three cultivators of them.
It's just that the real person Chi Shenzi has been in seclusion for many years and has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism. Even if he comes out of seclusion, ordinary monks are not allowed to visit him, so most of the time he can only complain in private.
Lu Cheng did not answer these words. He just recalled the memory of his previous life. During a lecture, senior brother Mo Hanyuan once asked his master:
"Master, may I ask you something?" "For the separation of Tao and demons."
On that day, the old Taoist in the Tao Palace sat cross-legged on the floating stone platform. After a long while, he opened his eyes and replied lightly:
"Tao Fen." Good or evil? ”
The Tao does not distinguish between good and evil, Tao and demons. It only exists objectively. Good is also it, evil is also it, Tao is also it, and demons are also it. Good and evil, Tao and demon are just artificially acquired divisions.
Even if one day the demon cultivator uses the magic method to enslave and destroy the world, it will be because his understanding and knowledge of the Tao exceeds that of the righteous monks in this world.
The avenue just exists there objectively.
If you like it, it will not be happy. If you hate it, it will not be angry. It is there whether you love it or hate it.
With this period of buffering, the big white-scaled snake was completely dead. Even so, Lu Cheng still scattered the golden beans and summoned two heavenly soldiers to go over and check. Snakes are reptiles, their brains are relatively underdeveloped, their brains are small, and their advanced nerve centers are relatively underdeveloped. Relatively speaking, the low-level central ability is relatively strong.
Even if the snake's head is cut off, the snake's head can still bite people for a period of time, it is just a conditioned reflex.
In Lu Cheng's view, Chen Qingfeng's injury was undeserved. If he was bitten again in the end, Lu Cheng felt that he should go back and find a golden basin to wash his hands and withdraw from the world.
Two silver-armored heavenly soldiers came forward to check and confirm that there was no problem. Lu Cheng, Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyun gathered around the huge snake corpse, began to peel off the skin and cramps, and searched for all available resources.
The materials on the monster beasts are all good things for monks.
The flesh and blood of this snake contains spiritual energy. Taking it can be used as food and supplements. Its skin can be used to make robes and armor. Its bones and teeth can be made into magic weapons. If its eyes and other organs are sold to monks in need, they can sell a lot of spiritual stones, especially It's snake gallbladder, and it's even more of a treasure.
The overall value of a third-level monster is about two thousand spirit stones. This white-scaled snake has a long bloodline and is only one step away from the third-order monster. Its overall value is also two thousand yuan. Around the spirit stone.
"Senior Brother Lu is really good at swordsmanship. This snake skin has very little damage and will definitely sell for a good price. Hey, brother, what is this?"
Chen Qingyun is collecting jade bottles. During the process of extracting the brains of the big snake, he took out a soft yellow ball from the depths of its brain cavity, the size of a palm, which hardened quickly after encountering air.
“This is... the demon pill?”
Chen Qingfeng was a little unsure at this time. The possibility of obtaining a demon elixir from a second-level demonic beast was too small. A large number of third-level demonic beasts did not have demon elixirs in their bodies.
The fourth-level monster must have a demon elixir in its body, which is a valuable treasure for cultivators.
On the other hand, a fourth-level immortal cultivator is also a valuable treasure in the eyes of monsters. Food helps to cultivate, purify blood, and replenish vitality.
"It's really a demon pill. This evil dragon seems to have a deep foundation. If it becomes a climate, it may really turn into a dragon. Brother Lu, this demon pill is no worse than three I’ll give you the demon pill, and the flesh, flesh, and skin of this monster will belong to us brothers and sisters?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
The bones, flesh, and skin of the white-scaled snake are worth about 1,600 spirit stones in total, the third-level demon elixir is usually worth 800 spirit stones, and the snake gallbladder is worth about 400 spirit stones.
Lu Cheng knew that Chen Qingfeng had tried to collect as much of the snake's bones and membranes as possible and went back to find someone to refine the magical weapon. Demonic beast materials from the same source were more likely to refine high-quality magical weapons.
Although the most precious treasure of a monster beast is often the demon elixir, the demon elixir of this big snake is almost at the third level, as are the bones, flesh and skin of its body.
That’s why Chen Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
The greatest value of the demon elixir lies in its grade. The demon elixir he gave Lu Cheng was closer to the third level than the third level. In fact, it was not easy to sell. It was discounted from two hundred to four hundred spirit stones. It's all possible.
What's more, the brothers and sisters asked Senior Brother Lu to come to help with the boxing this time, saving a fire thunder bead and improving their evaluation from their master. These are even more invisible benefits.
However, Lu Cheng was not as prepared as the Chen brothers and sisters. He did not have such a big Qiankun bag, so he gave up the bones and skin of the monsters and took away high-value spiritual objects such as demon pills and snake gallbladders. , is also very cost-effective and relatively fair.
Both parties didn't care too much, so they quickly dealt with the monster. Next, the three of them would meditate in this cave to recover for a period of time, and then return to Chixin Temple together.
After Chen Qingfeng fully recovered from his internal injuries, he left Chixin Temple.
“Brother, we specially invited Senior Brother Lu to help us with our punches, and Senior Brother Lu contributed the most in this battle. Didn’t we get a little too much?”
"Oh, Qingyun, I don't want this to be the case, but after this experience, Master has obviously allowed us to set up our own business. Unlike Senior Brother Lu, we have the real Red God Son as our backer. In the future, we will need countless cultivation resources. Let’s fight for it ourselves.”
< br>"If we succeed in our cultivation in the future, we can still have a close relationship with Senior Brother Lu. If we don't enter the country, even if Senior Brother Lu doesn't give up in the future, how about you and I, brothers and sisters, come to visit us?"
Compared Chen Qingyun's innocence and Chen Qingfeng's thoughts are even more profound.
Rather than give up some interests that Senior Brother Lu may not care about now and gain some favor, it is better to use these resources to make yourself and your sister go further on the road, so that both parties can still talk to each other in the future. , to maintain the friendship, on the contrary, those little good feelings will gradually fade into nothingness due to the huge gap between the two sides.
On the other side, Lu Cheng, who was meditating in the corner of the cave, did not care about the whispered conversation between the Chen brothers and sisters. In his opinion, this was a fair cooperation:
If he didn't kill the big snake in time, with his level of cultivation, he might be promoted to a third-level monster. At that time, Lu Cheng would have no choice but to abandon the view and run away. At that time, the most important thing is to protect himself with all his strength. God knows the whole situation. How many people will die in Shiyuan County.
On the other hand, Lu Cheng concentrated his mind and then devoted himself little by little to the Jiuli Tripod. He roughly knew how to use this treasure, but he had never captured a monster into it before.
The reason why the white-scaled snake was not captured in the battle just now was because Lu Cheng vaguely sensed that after Jiuli Ding was activated once, it would need to rest for a period of time, which could be as short as a few months or as long as several years. , not because it is tired, but because it is lazy.
As Lu Cheng concentrated and devoted his mind, a dark golden light flashed on the Jiuli Ding, sucking Lu Cheng's consciousness into it.
In the past, Lu Cheng had also imagined in his spare time what the rare treasure that brought him to this world would be like inside Jiuli Ding:
Is it just a huge bronze tripod, or is it filled with flames like Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, or is it a complete world?
Today, he finally saw:
A little light rose from time to time at the junction of the Qingming void and the boundless earth, and then expanded rapidly, about the size of a palm, and then turned into an endless and difficult The words are mysterious and mysterious. They resemble words but not words, like patterns but not patterns. They seem to be the incarnation of Tao. Afterwards, the clear air rises and the turbid air descends, turning into black and white rotating runes.
Yin and Yang began to intertwine, igniting countless qi machines, spreading and intertwining like a network, giving life and spirituality to the world.
The ground is heavy and solid. Water flows softly. Fire, hot and blazing. Wind, light and invisible. They continue to increase and evolve, gradually filling the originally barren world.
Under the action of these black and white runes, many rough laws appeared in the void. As the space stabilized, the black and white runes and countless laws slowly merged into the space. Thunder and lightning began to appear. These thunder and lightning bloomed and shined. The shape is the origin of Yunzhuan Leiwen. After that, life appeared, rain fell, there were rivers and lakes, there were thousands of mountains, there were thousands of miles of snow... The laws of the world became more and more detailed and perfect.
In that cauldron, there are countless such little lights. If you look carefully, you will see that there are countless worlds arising and dying in them.
It turns out that the scene inside Jiuli Ding is even more exaggerated than the young Taoist's most exaggerated imagination. There is not one world inside it, but countless worlds that are growing and dying, evolving into a grand world.
After that, Lu Cheng entered a small world, which seemed to be a cave in the deep mountains. The water dropped and merged into a clear stream. The fire dragon egg that he had put in before was here. It broke out of its shell in the cold stream, hungry and hungry Hungry, it seemed that he would die at any time
But the deepest bloodline of the unruly made him stretch his body and shoot out like an arrow, biting a red shrimp in the stream, regardless of its desperate struggle, and fought to death Bite and finally swallow the flesh and blood.
Such a dragon is a dragon. It has a warm and comfortable nest, nourished by countless fire-based spiritual creatures, but does not have its own greed for flesh and blood, and does not have the courage to experience life and death. How can a dragon break out of its shell?
The nature of the dragon is that it lords over the nine heavens and traverses the three realms. It can be big or small, it can ascend or disappear; if it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist; if it is small, it can hide and hide its form; if it rises, it can soar in the universe. In between, hidden is lurking within the waves. How could such a creature be born in a deep palace, grown in the hands of a woman, carefully cared for, and nurtured with all kinds of love?
Lu Cheng stood in the void and looked at the little red dragon. After eating and drinking, the little red dragon seemed to feel something. At the same time, he raised his head and saw him. Then, it didn't notice him at all. Turn and swim without hesitation.
As time passed and his mind was exhausted, Lu Cheng's consciousness gradually returned to the physical body, seeming to have some enlightenment.
He knows that although there is no real gain in Jiuli Ding today, he has seen this level of Taoist power from a high position, and he definitely has the confidence to move forward step by step in his future path. It is a huge significance that is unimaginable. I have not benefited now just because I am too weak.
In short, when I advance to the foundation building, golden elixir, or even reach a higher level of cultivation in the future, what I saw today will be able to play a greater role.
After the three meditated and rested, they returned to Chixin Temple together.
