Chapter 227 The Heavenly Punishment Oath Transforms into an Immortal Gourd
Xiao Jie felt bad at first glance, this worldly old man was afraid that he was about to reveal his true nature.
There are some things that we can all deal with as long as we don't break up with each other. Once we break up with each other, it's really going to be bad.
He said hurriedly: "Senior is right. I have accepted this task. Please give the Demon Refining Gourd to me."
But the Hongchen Taoist laughed and said: "Hahahaha, you are such an ignorant boy. What if I gave the gourd to you directly and you kidnapped me? How can such a rare treasure in the world be given to others so easily?"
Xiao Jie thought to himself, "Didn't you want to help me when you got on the pole?" He fell down and said this.
"What does senior mean?"
"Of course I have to swear an oath of divine punishment and swear it on my own blood. Only then can I entrust this gourd to you."
The Oath of Divine Punishment is a special mechanism in this game. It is an oath to heaven. Once the oath is violated, a [Heavenly Tribulation] punishment will be triggered. The worse the player's oath-breaking behavior, the higher the level of [Heavenly Tribulation] triggered.
I used it once when I was learning bestiality from Old Goat.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that this old man was not easy to fool, but fortunately I had a countermeasure already.
Isn’t it just a vow? I’ll just send you one.
"Senior, what I'm saying is, junior, I swear, I swear, after I become an immortal, I must—"
"Stop, stop, stop! This is not how you made the oath. I will help you become an immortal, and you will do things for me. Naturally, this oath must be made in accordance with my requirements."
As he spoke, Taoist Hongchen stretched out his hand and took out a bundle of scrolls from his sleeve. He rummaged around and finally found an old scroll that was somewhat yellowed.
"I found it, I found it, this is what I was looking for."
As he spoke, he shook the scroll slightly and spread it out in front of Xiao Jie. The words on the scroll shone with golden light and looked very extraordinary.
"Among my friends who are qigong practitioners, there is Linglongzi, who is the best at manipulating words, writing spells and drawing talismans. He has made many scrolls of oaths. He once told me that if one day I want to swear oaths to others, I can It comes in handy. As long as you sign a blood pact, it will be effective. If you violate the oath, you will be punished by God."
"Come on, little brother, I have made up an oath for you, just read it according to it."
System prompts: Master Hongchen gives you an item [Blood Oath Ancient Scroll].
Xiao Jie opened his backpack and looked at the item description, and his eyelids suddenly jumped.
[Blood Oath Scroll (Quest Item)
Use: Take an oath of divine punishment. Once the oath is violated, an [Enhanced Heavenly Tribulation] will be triggered.
Item introduction: An ancient scroll. It is said that the words contain powerful power. The ancient Qigong practitioners realized that they could not break their promises easily, otherwise something bad would inevitably happen, so they created this object. . 】
The Hongchen Taoist said: "Now you follow me and recite - I, 'Hidden Moon Sui Feng', was helped by Master Hongchen today to obtain the wonderful method of refining qi and the treasure of the Immortal Gourd. When I succeed in refining qi, the gold When the elixir is condensed and before ascending to the immortal position, it is necessary to come to Konglao Mountain to meet the real person, practice immortality together, and help him become an immortal.
If I violate this oath, I will lose all my spiritual energy, my golden elixir will be shattered, and my path to immortality will disintegrate. Heaven and earth are witnesses, and the sun and moon can serve as a reference. I have sworn a blood oath, and no one dares to disobey! "
Listening to Master Hongchen's words, Xiao Jie secretly yelled at me, "You've got all this stuff ready, you're going to kill me!"
'When my golden elixir is condensed, before I ascend to the immortal position'... This is a calculated decision to seize my golden elixir. It won't work if the golden elixir has not yet become a step earlier, and it won't work if it becomes an immortal a step later.
The so-called helping him become an immortal means that his spiritual power is naturally taken away by him. If he does not help him become an immortal, "all his magic power will be lost, the golden elixir will be broken, and the path to immortality will collapse." Isn't that exactly the fate of other Qi refiners? ?
No matter what, I have to offer the golden elixir to make him an immortal.
Xiao Jie secretly screamed in pain and was thinking about how to break the situation.
A dialogue option suddenly popped up in front of me.
Option 1: I swear... (accept the task).
Option 2: What the senior said, but I apologize that I cannot accept it (the favorability of the real person in Hongchen is -30).
Option 3: Please allow the younger generation to think about it again (Honchen’s favorability is -10).
Option 4: Humph, you stinking Taoist priest, just give me all the things you have. I am too lazy to pay attention to you, so hand over the gourd quickly, otherwise I will make you look good (trigger combat).
This... this... this...
None of the options seems very reliable. Why is it that human relations and sophistication are not triggered at this critical moment?
Xiao Jie's brain was working rapidly. It would be impossible to refuse now. Taoist Hongchen's favorability as a neutral unit was not high to begin with. If it was -30, he would probably enter a battle.
As for option 3, it's quite embarrassing. It can only be said to delay a little time. Either enter the battle, or Taoist Hongchen will not let you leave. You can delay it for a few hours at most. In the end, you still have to choose.
If you give up everything, you can use the Escape Talisman to dodge people.
But it’s completely unacceptable to just leave after you’ve come here.
As for option 4...don't even think about it.
Xiao Jie's mind raced, and he had an idea in an instant. The only option he could use now was option 1. Option 1 only said that he had to swear, but it did not specify the content of the oath. Maybe he could play a word game with it.
"I swear to God, I collected this gourd today with the help of Senior Hongchen. When I become an immortal in the future, I will definitely help Senior Hongchen become an immortal together with me..."
Every time he recited a word, a golden character appeared on the ancient blood oath scroll. However, just halfway through the oath, the Hongchen master shouted angrily - "Stop!"
The sound made the speakers buzz.
Looking at the real Hongchen man again, his face was as black as iron, livid in color, and his expression was even more ferocious and ferocious.
The murderous intent in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Boy, what you said is not right!"
Xiao Jie's scalp was numb. Damn it, why is this NPC so difficult to talk to?
I have never encountered such a vicious person before.
"Ah, isn't it right? I think it's about the same. What's wrong?" Xiao Jie tried his best to pretend to be confused, but secretly thought something was wrong in his heart. This old man must be too serious.
"What I'm talking about is obviously when the golden elixir is condensed and before ascending to immortality."
"There is something wrong with the Taoist Priest's oath. Didn't I say before that after I became an immortal and had powerful immortal power, I would kill demons and obtain elixirs for the Taoist Priest?"
"Hmph, you kid, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If you really become an immortal, this oath will not be able to restrain you. Not even a catastrophe can do anything to a true immortal.
Since you want to swear, you naturally have to help me complete this matter before you become an immortal. You don’t have to worry. What if I become an immortal earlier and later? If I become an immortal first, it will naturally benefit you. Come on. , hurry up and swear, so that I can give you the treasure, don’t toast me and you will be punished by drinking wine. "
Xiao Jie was still trying to talk.
"Oh, senior, your oath is too long. I can't remember it clearly at once. It's a pity that the ancient blood oath scroll has been used. How about this?"
"How can you just improvise an oath? If you haven't finished reciting it, it won't count. Just send another one. As for the Blood Oath Ancient Scroll, I still have plenty here."
System prompt: Taoist Hongchen gave you a [Blood Oath Ancient Scroll] as a gift.
Xiao Jie didn't expect such a skill. He originally thought that the other party could only make mistakes...
Taoist Hongchen was annoyed when he saw Xiao Jie and shouted coldly: "What, do you want to fool me? Or do you mean you don't want to do anything for me at all?"
The tone became increasingly fierce, and the expression became more ferocious.
The aura around Taoist Hongchen spread, and even the stones on the ground began to float. The name on his head flashed, turning red for a while and then yellow again.
Xiao Jie was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Of course not, I mean it sincerely!"
"Then renew your oath. I advise you to think clearly and not to make any tricks. Otherwise, I will never show mercy to those who fool me."
This is the picture I saw.
Xiao Jie secretly complained in his heart, but at this time, everyone was a slave and I was a fish, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"I, 'Yin Yue Sui Feng', was helped by Master Hongchen today to obtain the wonderful method of refining qi and the most precious treasure of the Immortal Gourd. When I succeed in refining qi, when the golden elixir is condensed, and before I ascend to the immortal position, I need to prepare Come to Konglao Mountain to meet the real person, practice immortality together, and help him become an immortal..."
As Xiao Jie finished reciting, the complete content of the oath also appeared on the ancient blood oath scroll.
Xiao Jie clicked to use - swear by blood.
The red letter -1 immediately appeared on the head.
Just look at the scroll stained with a trace of blood, and then turned into a wisp of smoke, straight into the sky, and disappeared. But on Xiao Jie's head, a BUFF appeared.
Glancing at the top of the character's head.
[Oath of Heavenly Punishment: You have sworn an oath of Heavenly Punishment. Once the oath is triggered, you will suffer an [Enhanced Heavenly Tribulation].
"It's so good, so good, hahaha, boy, I really saw the right person. Take this treasure, it's yours now."
System prompts: Taoist Hongchen will give you the item [Immortal Gourd] as a gift.
(Damn, even the name is fake. It was clearly said to be a demon refining gourd before.)
Click on the backpack and check it out.
[Immortal Gourd (Magic Weapon)
Gourd’s special effects: refining. (Refining the inner elixir in the gourd and converting it into original spiritual power.)
Special effects of the gourd: absorbing souls. (Absorb the original spiritual energy in the gourd and increase your spiritual energy value - Conditions of use: Qi refining).
Current aura value: 0/3000.
Current number of inner elixirs: 0.
Item introduction: A treasure given by a mysterious Taoist to the ancient Qi alchemists. It is said that the ancient Qi alchemists fell into despair because of their thin spiritual energy and were unable to cultivate immortality. However, because of the treasure given by the mysterious Taoist, they regained hope and gained a glimmer of immortality. , this is a divine object that defies heaven and changes destiny. 】
The stuff is really good, but the mission oath is a bit cheating.
A gift from a mysterious Taoist? A mysterious Taoist?
Xiao Jie suddenly felt something in his heart. Damn it, could he be the real master behind the crazy Taoist?
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes. Foolish Taoists, crazy Taoists, evil Taoists—mysterious Taoists, it all seems to fit the pattern.
What is the purpose of this person giving the Immortal Gourd to this group of Qi Refiners?
Xiao Jie had a vague feeling that this mysterious Taoist should be a very important plot figure in the entire game. If this person does such things, he will definitely become a big villain in the game later on, and maybe he will become a version BOSS in the future. Of.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"I'm very satisfied, by the way, senior -"
"Just call me fellow Taoist. Since you have become one of the Qi Refiners today, we should naturally address you as fellow Taoist."
"Fellow Daoist Daoist Hongchen, do we Qi Refiners have any magic inheritance? How about you teach me a few tricks? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to conquer demons and eliminate demons."
Anyway, this oath has been made, and if you don’t want to admit it, you have to accept it, so it’s better to do some good things this time.
Taoist Hongchen shook his head, "The only purpose of us Qi practitioners is to cultivate our bodies and Qi, become immortal, and become immortals. Therefore, most of us don't like to fight with others, and we haven't developed any magic. After all, as long as we become immortals, we will naturally You can use immortal magic, there is no need to waste your energy.
Therefore, we Qi Refiners are not good at magic.
Of course, each Qi practitioner has different interests and hobbies. Some not only practice Qi but also learn Taoism and spiritual cultivation, or learn some witchcraft and sorcery. Others practice swords, fists and kicks, relying on their longevity and long life. He has also learned some skills. If you want to learn, just go and look for it on the stone wall. "
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it wouldn't be so miserable. Then wouldn't the change of Qi Refiner mean that there would be no improvement in combat effectiveness at all? The only skill [Eating Wind and Drinking Dew] is still a daily skill.
"Friend Hongchen, to tell you the truth, I also read the things on the stone wall, but my qualifications are limited and I can't learn it. Is there no magic that can be used in Qi Refining?"
After all, he is also an ancient master, so how can he know a few tricks?
Master Hongchen nodded, "That's not the case at all. Qi refining can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and this spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely useful and can be used to perform many techniques. However, this precious spiritual energy is naturally used first to refine energy and strengthen the body. It would be too wasteful to cast spells.
We also studied some of the most basic applications back then, but we didn't develop them much further.
If you want to learn, I can teach you, but your level is too low. If your level is too high, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn. You can only start from the most basic level. "
Xiao Jie thought to himself that would be fine, it would be a spell after all.
"Just the basics are fine. Fellow Taoists are welcome to give me some advice."
"Then I will teach you how to practice the 'Qi Healing Technique' that you can learn at the entry level. Watch out!"
Just watch Taoist Hongchen casually cut a cut on his arm, a burst of white light appeared on his hand, and the wound healed naturally.
System prompt: Master Hongchen teaches you the skill ‘Qi Healing Technique’.
[Qi Healing (Qi Refining Technique)
Passive: Activate. Restores 1 point of health every second (the higher your level of Qi Refining, the higher the recovery effect).
Active: activate. Consume spiritual energy to heal your physical body and completely restore your lost health within 10 seconds. Every 10 health points restored permanently consumes 1 spiritual energy point (warning: using this skill may cause your level to fall).
Skill introduction: The most basic application of spiritual energy by a spiritual master is to use spiritual energy to heal the damaged body. The spiritual master has practiced for hundreds of thousands of years, so protecting one's physical body is a top priority. 】
Xiao Jie frowned, this skill was really not that powerful.
The passive effect can only be said to be dispensable, a little blood every second, which is really fatal if you rely on this to restore blood in battle.
Although the active effect is powerful, it will permanently consume the spiritual energy value. I only have 1,000 spiritual energy points in total. Wouldn't it mean that I will lose my realm after just using it a few times?
Aura cannot restore itself, and it is very difficult to deal with.
But well, at least it can be regarded as a life-saving skill. I have more than 300 blood, and if I regain it in 10 seconds, it will be almost as fast as drinking a red bottle.
The key is that this thing can also be used in reality, which is very good.
"Any more?"
"Of course there are, but if you want to learn more, you have to wait until your realm improves. Just come and find me again.
Of course, you can also look for the relics left by other ancient Qi alchemists or immortals, and you may be able to find something. Those people like to hide their own magic methods in ancient tombs, secret rooms and other places. "
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was really hard for this Qi Master to learn a skill, and looking at it like this, the number of skills was quite limited.
It is completely incomparable with real legal professions such as Taoist priests, but this is the price you have to pay to become an immortal. There is no way, how can you have the best of both worlds?
"Fellow Daoist Suifeng, when do you plan to leave?"
"Without further ado, I'll leave now."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that I am too lazy to stay with you anymore, so he walked a few steps and turned back.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Hongchen, what should we do about the maze outside?"
"Don't worry, you are now a member of the Qi Refiners. The purpose of setting up the maze was to prevent outsiders from entering. The maze has no binding effect on the Qi Refiners."
Xiao Jie felt relieved, clasped his fists and left.
Xiao Jie walked into the cave and walked all the way outside the cave. As he walked, Xiao Jie looked at the oath buff above his head.
(Hmph, if you want to use this thing to restrain me, it’s not a good idea. As long as I don’t form the golden elixir, I naturally don’t have to worry about this problem. The golden elixir realm must be at the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of Qi refining. Come on.
When the time comes, I will directly form a group of 100 people to come over and treat you as the world BOSS. Whoever sees it will help whomever becomes an immortal.
Damn it, I will kill you directly when the time comes, take away your golden elixir, and then ascend to immortality. When the time comes, your spiritual energy will become an immortal with me. Isn’t it considered to be ‘helping you become an immortal’? The most important thing is to hurry up. Kill a few monsters, get some inner elixirs, and try the effect of this immortal gourd. )
Looking at Xiao Jie’s figure disappearing into the cave, a twisted smile appeared on Taoist Hongchen’s face - “Finally, we have a chance to become an immortal, fellow Taoists, we There’s hope for great things!”
In the shadow behind him, white figures emerged one after another at this time, eight in total, surrounding him, standing solemnly.
They silently watched Taoist Hongchen's excitement, and seemed to feel relieved.
"Don't be anxious, fellow Taoists, it's coming soon, it's coming soon. When I ascend, it will be the time for you to transcend. Then we will settle the score with those bastards together."
While speaking, a white spirit body trembled for a few times, but suddenly dissipated in the air like soap bubbles. The other spirit bodies immediately pounced on it, eating up all the dregs of the light spot floating in the air.
Hongchen Taoist looked at this scene, but he seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and just sighed, "Another one is gone, and another one is gone. Alas, we listened to the mysterious Taoist's words and gathered all our strength just for this. There was a glimmer of magic, but unexpectedly, only these few people were left in Tianpu Cave back then, and I don’t know whether it was right or wrong.”
He looked at the white spirits whose faces could no longer be seen, with a sad expression on their faces.
Qi refining is the ancient secret art of refining the soul and body into one body.
Because of this, the Qi Master cannot become a ghost after death, but will only turn into this strange spirit body. Although it is not as easy to dissipate as a ghost, after thousands of years, it is difficult to resist the tempering of time and continue to die and transform. For spiritual energy, return to heaven and earth.
If it doesn't succeed, the rest of them will probably be wiped out.
A stern look appeared on his face.
Now, this is the only way to go - as long as the hidden moon condenses with the golden elixir of the wind, returns here, and hides the person's golden elixir, he can complete the last flaw and ascend to immortality, hahaha Ha ha!
Immortal industry! Immortal industry! In order to become an immortal, even if there is only a slight chance, you must give it a try.
