The reason why Zhao Shoushou was willing to take the risk to explore the Huang Feiling Mine of the Jin family is nothing more than two main reasons. One is that the 600-year-old wild ginseng is worth the risk once, and the other is to occupy the first-level middle-grade spirit mine. The mine is the target, and it will not be too strong, and it can be dealt with with certainty.
Even if the unknown enemy is beyond his expectations, there is no problem in keeping his life alive, but in order to obtain a relatively precious elixir, it will always take some effort.
As for the true value of the 600-year-old wild ginseng, although Zhao Shoushou is not clear, it is still possible to exchange for two or three second-order low-grade Miyuan pills.
Once at the foundation building exchange meeting of the sailing club, I was lucky enough to exchange a lightning strike wood for one. After taking the alchemy, it was basically equivalent to three months of penance.
This simple comparison presumably any monk could clearly perceive its great value, and it was also the reason why Zhao Shoushou was willing to take the risk himself.
Cultivation is not a goal that can be achieved by relying on hard work alone. As a casual cultivator, when encountering some good opportunities, how can we easily miss them?
If this is the case, why did you focus on hard work and go forward bravely, and hit the foundation building period at all costs?Since you don't want to waste your life's practice in mediocrity, why not take some risks?
As for why the Jin family is willing to exchange the treasure of the town for a monk in the foundation period to help, it is also because this yellow emerald vein can continuously provide spiritual stones to support the needs of the family monks.
On the contrary, this 600-year-old wild ginseng consumes more and more spiritual power as the years grow, and has gradually become a big burden.
Unsure of the situation and unwilling to leak the news of its existence for nothing, causing trouble for the family, it is not too much of a disadvantage to find a foundation-building monk to help out this time as a reward.
After all, it is obviously more important for them to have a stable spiritual mineral vein in their hands that can continuously provide spiritual stones.
"Senior, please look, this place is the Jin family's Huangfeiling Mine. After nearly a hundred years of excavation, such a situation has never happened before." Not far behind the Jin family's Lingshan, an underground cave is spewing out a kind of Special red gas.
At first glance, it looks like steaming blood, and it contains a special toxin that can unconsciously paralyze the monk's meridians and body.
There used to be several monks who belonged to the Jin family in the mid-to-late stages of Qi refining. They were once inadvertently recruited. After taking several precious detoxification pills in a row, they barely escaped catastrophe. Fan.
"The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful. The Jin family has a lot of vision. If there is no such a steady stream of blood, it will be more comfortable." Zhao Shoushou answered irrelevantly.
His eyes were fully open to observe every move in the blood, and his consciousness was fully open to explore the depths of the Yellow Feiling Mine cautiously.
Zhao Shoushou didn't dare to be careless about this strange scene, and he obviously wouldn't act lightly until he was certain in his heart.
Curiosity killed the cat, and curiosity also killed the monks. The more strange the behavior, the more danger it represented under normal circumstances.
"One Yuan Heavy Water, Edict" After searching with his spiritual consciousness three times and five times without any results, he waved his hands, and a round drop of water went deep into the vein.
This is a special application method of one-element heavy water that Zhao Shoushou successfully comprehended in the notes left in the "Earth Splitting Technique".
You only need to hide your spiritual consciousness in it, and use the biggest characteristic of the monotonous heavy water to probe deeper and silently, and get the biggest harvest at the smallest cost.
Each one-yuan heavy water can only be used once and cannot be recycled. Although this kind of water-attribute treasure is not expensive, if it is not a product of the "Congealing Art" training process, it is also not easy to use.
Of course, Zhao Shoushou, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment period, also had more means than this. Zhao Shoushou fumbled in the storage bag for a while, and three vivid puppets that looked like little monkeys appeared in his hands.
"Spirit monkey, come out." Before Zhao Shoushou finished speaking, he suddenly spewed out a mouthful of rich magic power. Three little monkeys carved from wood rose in the wind and jumped happily on the ground with a wooden stick in their hands.
The first-tier middle-grade spirit monkey puppet is not outstanding in terms of attack power and defense power, only its fast reaction speed and detection ability are worth mentioning.
Another important point is that the price is not expensive, which is the main reason why it can spread in the cultivation world. Under Zhao Shoushou's command, the three spirit monkeys went one by one to the depths of the Huang Fei mine vein.
With the cooperation of one yuan of heavy water, the detection of the monkey, and the mutual cooperation of the bright and the dark, no matter who is the holy one in the Huang Feiling mine vein, he has enough confidence to get some clues.
"Gulu Gulu" After about a cup of tea, the sound of boiling water was clearly transmitted back through the one-yuan heavy water.
"A wound on the ground that is opening is constantly gushing out bursts of blood, and the blood contains unknown poison and corrosiveness. Judging from the surrounding environment, there is no trace of the existence of monsters. It is a pity that a certain Investigate spirit monkeys and one-yuan heavy water," Zhao Shoushou muttered.
The above information is just the few information obtained under two waves of investigation, but it can basically be determined that this is not a disturbance by a monster.
Thinking of this, he can breathe a sigh of relief. If it is a simple seal, it is relatively much easier, and only needs some related seal talismans to deal with it.
However, Zhao Shoushou vaguely felt that everything was not as simple as that. Presumably the Jin family must have some unknown concealment?
"Huh..." Thinking of this, the coldness on Zhao Shoushou's face became even colder, and some strange things in this incident also began to appear.
Although the Jin family is only a Qi-refinement period family, it has been rooted here for hundreds of years. I think I know some foundation-establishment monks. Why would they not hesitate to donate 600 years of wild ginseng to invite a foundation-establishment early-stage monk whose injuries have not yet recovered? Help?
The same invitation or language ever to the same Foundation Establishment monks?Even the 600-year-old wild ginseng may be the same?
"Senior, have you ever found out the cause of the bloody water erupting in the Yellow Fei mine vein?" The patriarch of the Jin family asked sincerely, with a submissive look, as if he was afraid of causing trouble to his upper body.
"Someone has something to gain, but he needs to learn a thing or two in the Jin's manor?" Zhao Shoushou didn't rush to ask, but was going to stay and investigate the root of it in detail.
"Blood sacrifice" from the face of the patriarch of the Jin family, these two inexplicably flashed in his mind. Facing this special and ancient way of practice, he couldn't help but be extremely careful.
"Senior's action is to eradicate disasters for the Jin family. Naturally, there is no problem in comprehending one or two things. If there is any need, senior can just order." The patriarch of the Jin family is still respectful.
Chapter 205 Cultivation and Blood Sacrifice
Blood sacrifice is a special way of practice. It once appeared in the legendary ancient times. The blood sacrificer believed in a terrifying evil god.
They need to sacrifice sacrifices that meet the requirements of the evil gods according to fixed rules, otherwise their families will suffer disaster and become sacrifices to the evil gods.
Of course, if a qualified sacrifice can be found in time to complete the sacrifice to the evil god, then the sacrificer will also be rewarded by the evil god.
This kind of reward can be exercises, magic pills, talismans, or even improvement in cultivation. In short, the evil god is also generous to loyal believers.
The quality of the sacrificial offerings is directly proportional to the rewards of the evil gods, which is also constantly motivating these loyal believers to continuously improve the quality of the offerings.
The evil gods have no special requirements for the sacrifices. The only requirement is sufficient vitality, spiritual power, and mana. If the monks in the foundation period are used as sacrifices to complete the sacrifice, the rewards they will receive will be extremely generous.
The above is all Zhao Shoushou's cognition about "Blood Sacrifice". According to the inheritance in some jade slips, the last time this terrifying practice method of blood sacrifice appeared was thousands of years ago.
"Why did the Jin family become the worshipers of the evil god? Could it be that the nearby sects didn't notice it at all? Or maybe someone was overwhelmed?" One question after another appeared in his mind, and he lingered for a long time, reluctant to leave.
"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years. If someone's guess is correct, I think the Jin family must have other means. Let's wait and see." Another round of recuperation, trying to recover from the remaining part of the injury.
No matter what kind of conspiracy the Jin family invited him to come, everything is empty in front of absolute strength, so it is urgent to treat the remaining injuries.
It was precisely because of his confidence in his own fighting power that Zhao Shoushou had the courage to continue to stay. After some overt or covert probing, Zhao Shoushou could basically confirm that there were no foundation-building monks in the Jin family.
It was based on this that he was unwilling to leave easily. A family that was good at cultivating elixir and blood sacrifices had been rooted here for hundreds of years, so there must be other secrets.
If the entire Jin family is uprooted after the definite evidence is found, and the harm is eliminated for the people, a lot of treasures will surely be obtained.
And judging from the impeccable and almost perfect performance of the patriarch of the Jin family, either Zhao Shoushou's guess was wrong, or he had rich experience and used the same method to deceive fellow monks in the Foundation Establishment period.
This point is equally important, as long as there is a successful sacrifice once, there must be some treasures used by the monks of the Foundation Establishment Period in the treasure room of the Jin family.
After the sacrifice, the evil god is only interested in the sacrifice itself, and has no interest in some treasures such as elixir, spirit materials, and spirit weapons, and there is no way to devour them. Over time, they will gradually be preserved. There are quite a few Tier [-] treasures.
Even if the Jin family has digested some of them in various ways, there should be some leftovers. After all, a family in the Qi refining period often trades second-tier treasures as the target, which will definitely attract the attention of some foundation-building monks.
It is a very dangerous thing in the realm of comprehension to own a treasure whose value far exceeds one's own strength when one's own strength is weak.
Once it was discovered that many monks whose cultivation level matched the treasures, they would be willing to play a guest role as bandits who killed people and seized treasures. After trying to understand the mystery, Zhao Shoushou calmed down instead.
"Someone just leased a cave to rest for a while, and it can attract some malicious looks. If so, let's cut the grass and root out this time." Zhao Shoushou said viciously, with a ferocious look on his face.
Basically at the same time, several core members of the Jin family were also discussing in an extremely remote small courtyard protected by a formation on the Lingshan of the Jin family.
"Patriarch, this injured foundation-building monk is cautious. What should I do next?" The speaker was a mid-qi training monk who was almost crumbling under the pressure of Zhao Shoushou.
However, judging from his aura at this time, it is obvious that he is a monk in the late stage of Qi training, and from his constant ups and downs, he can clearly detect a kind of thick blood aura, which is different from the one that came out from the Yellow Feiling Mine before. The breath is somewhat similar.
Apparently, during the day, he used a very clever way to hide his aura, which was able to escape the detection of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Period. It was very likely that he had sacrificed in the past.
"This kind of situation is not new. There are two things: increase the bargaining chip, and release some blood puppets refined in the family." The patriarch of the Jin clan obviously expected this situation.
The blood puppets are obviously a kind of treasure that has been refined by special techniques, but they don't know their current specific methods, but judging from their tone, they are obviously very sure.
"The ancestor's retreat has reached the most critical moment. As long as this severely injured foundation-building stage monk is sacrificed, the eight-faced evil god will definitely help the ancestor and successfully advance to the foundation-building stage. The rise of the Jin family is just around the corner. Everyone, work hard with me." There was a special kind of bewitchment in the voice of the Jin clan chief.
If Zhao Shoushou heard their conversation, he would be shocked. A few monks in the late stage of qi training were actually plotting to sacrifice a monk in the foundation stage as a sacrifice to the so-called eight-faced evil god.
And from their words, it can be easily judged that a so-called patriarch of the Jin family is at the critical moment of being promoted to the foundation-building stage, and after he is sacrificed, he can get some power from the eight-faced evil god to wish him a helping hand .
Blood sacrifice is also a kind of evil cultivation, and it also has the same characteristics as all evil cultivations. The cultivation base can be improved quickly, and the bottleneck is difficult to break through.
In the normal qi refining period, there is no one monk who breaks through the foundation establishment, and the power they get through sacrifices is even more rare. After failure, because they cannot suppress the mana of the riot, they have to explode and die.
The essence of the sacrifice is nothing but an exchange of power, which seems to come from the same source after the evil spirit has been transformed, but there are also some slight differences due to the different sacrifices, and the difference may not be detectable on weekdays. At the critical moment of cultivation improvement, it may be fatal.
Zhao Shoushou was not clear about the plan of all this, and all his attention was put on the recovery of his injuries, and the time for his so-called comprehension also exceeded the expectations of all the monks of the Jin family.
Before the sacrifice process was officially launched, the large and powerful Jin family did not dare to provoke a foundation-establishment monk easily, so they could only wait.
This anxious waiting lasted for more than two months, and it was not until Zhao Shoushou was chased by the armored corpses that healed from the injuries he suffered that he opened his eyes.
Chapter 206 Blood Mosquito
"Ren'er is winded from east to west, from north to south, and I stand still. After two months of suffering, the Jin family must be a little anxious, right?" Zhao Shoushou had a confident smile on his face.
No matter where the enemy's conspiracy comes from, there will always be some clues in sufficient time. He always firmly believes that the enemy will only discover more when he is in a hurry.
After two months of recuperation, his injuries have basically recovered, and his combat effectiveness has once again rushed to the peak, and after this incident, his cultivation has also improved significantly.
"Everything is ready, I only owe it to Dongfeng, and let a certain meeting be held for a while." Now Zhao Shoushou is full of confidence, and has a deeper understanding of the so-called blood gas pollution of the Yellow Feiling Mine.
In fact, at this time, the Jin family was also at the limit of their patience. Who would have thought that a rewarding enlightenment would take two full months.
It may take about two years for a monk at the peak of Qi training to break through and build a foundation from the beginning to the end, but the real critical moment is only three to five months.
An important reason why the Jin family took the risk of using 600-year-old wild ginseng as bait to lure Zhao Shoushou to sacrifice is to provide some help to the ancestors of the Jin family who are in retreat.
Once this opportunity is missed, there will be very little help for him. Therefore, the core monks of the Jin family are "guarding" Zhao Shoushou's retreat cave every day.
"Patriarch, is it really possible to release the blood mosquito?" At the entrance of the Huang Feiling mine vein, the middle-aged monk who had always been extremely calm showed a slightly nervous expression.
The blood mosquito is also a special method belonging to the evil god of eight faces. It hides in some foul-smelling sticky blood at the bottom of the sacrificial place all the year round, and its number is generally about a hundred.
Once it is awakened, it must be fed with a sufficient amount of blood in the shortest possible time, and the demand for blood is directly proportional to the time of awakening.
If it can't meet its demand for blood, once these blood mosquitoes riot, they will not distinguish between enemy and friend. Without the protection of the foundation-building monks, the Jin family may suffer because of this.
It can be seen from this that once these blood mosquitoes are awakened, it is definitely a move that will hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred. The Jin family has almost no strong control over the blood mosquitoes.
"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't get tiger cubs. In addition, all the blood stored in the family's treasure house will be taken out, and it will be the first meal for these guys. As long as the ancestors can break through successfully, all the efforts of the Jin family will be valuable." Jin A determined and crazy look appeared on the face of the family patriarch.
"For the family, for the sake of the ancestors, my nephew is willing to be the awakener of the blood mosquito." The middle-aged monk seemed to think of something, and he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
Since the Blood Mosquito can be the guardian of the Eight-faced Evil God, its power cannot be underestimated. It is also not easy to wake up these little guys from their deep sleep.
It is necessary to use the blood of monks in the late stage of Qi refining as an introduction. Once the blood mosquitoes riot uncontrollably, the awakener will also be the No. 1 victim.
If he is lucky enough to survive the first wave of mad feeding by the blood mosquito, he will successfully gain the trust of the blood mosquito because of the existence of blood, and become the controller and commander of the blood mosquito for a period of time in the future. The so-called risks and opportunities coexist That's why.
Of course, if you want to successfully seize this opportunity, in addition to the strength of step by step, you also need a little bit of luck, and sometimes this bit of luck is related to the life and death of a monk.
"This sacrifice was successful, the ancestor successfully broke the threshold and advanced to the foundation building stage, the first merit is none other than you," the patriarch of the Jin clan assured, patted his chest.
For most monks, this is a solemn promise and inheritance, as long as they succeed, they will be ranked second in the future for advanced foundation establishment.
The reason why monks are willing to continue to grope forward on the road of practice full of dangers and thorns is because of the constant temptation of cultivation base, strength, and longevity.
Establishing the foundation is also one of the most important reasons why this Jin family monk voluntarily took the risk to become the Blood Mosquito Awakener. Everything is ready and the rest only needs to be carried out step by step.
Awakening the blood mosquito from its slumber required the raising of some auxiliary resources besides the awakener itself, the most important being the raising of blood.
Whether it is monsters, human monks or even some liquids in the body of spiritual plants, blood mosquitoes are not picky at all, the only requirement is a large amount and a certain amount of spiritual power.
"Have you ever finished your preparations? To wake up the blood mosquito, you must follow the steps in the family inheritance, and there must be no changes." Three days later, at the entrance of the Huangfeiling Mine, the patriarch of the Jin clan was repeatedly urging.
"Patriarch, don't worry, this awakening of blood mosquitoes will definitely succeed." The middle-aged monk covered in a blood-red mask buzzed.
This blood-red mask was also a gift from the eight-faced evil god they believed in, and it was the only magic weapon to isolate the bloody and poisonous gas in the spirit mine.
And having this treasure body protection can ensure that monks will not be attacked by blood energy. The only disadvantage is that they have no defense against blood mosquitoes.
The biggest objects in the hands of the middle-aged monk were two blood-red bags, which contained all kinds of blood raised by the Jin family over the years, and were also used to appease the blood mosquitoes after they woke up.
After the two monks finished communicating, the middle-aged monk pulled himself together and walked slowly but firmly to the depths of the bloody Huang Feiling mine vein step by step.
Perhaps in the near future, hundreds of blood mosquitoes, the loyal guardians of the eight-faced evil god, will swarm out of them and become another sharp weapon against Zhao Shoushou.
"If we can win the favor of the evil god this time, and become the messenger of the evil god, it will no longer be difficult to advance to the foundation building." After about a stick of incense, the middle-aged monk walked forward in the bloody mine vein.
From his words, it can be clearly felt that the promise of the patriarch of the Jin clan is far from satisfying his true inner desire. He is a monk with a longer-term vision.
Each evil god is only allowed to have one messenger in the human world, and once it is confirmed that the two are in a relationship of both prosperity and loss.
Therefore, every evil god is cautious in choosing the messenger. This is only because the family has supported the eight-faced evil god for hundreds of years, but no monk has ever been honored by the messenger.
According to legend, whenever the messenger of the evil god begins to walk in the world, it is also the rhythm of a dark age, but whether the Jin family will become one of them is still open to question.
In the deepest part of the Huangfeiling mine vein, the place like a wound on the earth is continuously bubbling with blood, but the middle-aged monk is unobstructed, and pays homage to the middle place devoutly.
Then he fumbled with his hands and found a raised spot in the bloody water. This is the place where the blood mosquitoes rest. After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged monk showed a decisive look, and decisively took out a sharp blade and cut it open on his wrist. A wound, the red blood coagulated into a trickle, poured into it under its control, and the call of the blood mosquito was just beginning.
Chapter 207 Half Foundation Establishment Cultivator
"Great eight-faced evil god, your most devout believer is willing to offer the purest soul, carry your will with a complete body, and spread the glory of the gods in the world, please give the believer the crown, please wake up the loyal guard Blood Mosquito" is a long line, as if a voice from a distant world is showing their loyalty.
