Chapter 8: The Heavenly Blood Spirit Tree

"That's ten times faster than when I could use the Wind Technique with all my might. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" In the light, Zhong Yong looked at the mountains and rocks and trees that passed by at a high speed, and thought to himself.

After more than ten breaths, the old woman in blood took Zhong Yong to stop over a lake with a size of more than ten acres, and then after taking a look at the surface of the lake, she suddenly fell and dived into the lake.

Although they fell into the lake, a layer of blood also appeared at the right time, enveloping Zhong Yong and the old woman in blood, so they did not have a drop of lake water on their bodies.

After diving in the lake for dozens of zhang, there was still no bottom, but at this moment, on the side, suddenly a very secret and gloomy hole surrounded by aquatic plants appeared in Zhong Yong's sight.

The blood-clothed old woman and the old horse knew the way, and without hesitation, she took Zhong Yong into the gloomy hole.

After entering the entrance of the cave, Zhong Yong found that this was a passage that was diagonally downward, and at this time, the old woman in blood continued to dive with Zhong Yong.

After diving for nearly twenty feet, we reached a corner, and the passage that connected this corner was a diagonal passage.

After turning the corner, and following this oblique upward passage in the water, after floating for more than ten zhang, finally plopped, and the heads of Zhong Yong and the old woman in bloody clothes both emerged from the water.

Then the old woman in blood threw it casually and threw Zhong Yong ashore.

After Zhong Yong stood firm, he inhaled heavily and glanced around.

But after taking a look, Zhong Yong was shocked, he found that this was actually a huge underground cave.

This cave is more than five feet high, and part of the cave is flooded, but even if it is not submerged, the area on the shore alone is the size of five or six acres.

Bizarrely, this is deep underground, and there is no light in the cave, but the cave is not too dark, and everything is very clear.

Then Zhong Yong glanced around, and when he saw a pile of mountain-like white bones piled up in a corner not far from the cave, Zhong Yong's brows couldn't help jumping.

The bones were obvious, and many were human bones.

However, Zhong Yong's mind is also very good, although there is a slight discoloration on his face, but it disappears quickly.

In addition to the pile of small mountain bones, there were two other things that attracted Zhong Yong's attention.

One is that in the center of this space, there is an unknown blood-colored tree.

The little tree was half a foot tall and blood-red, and not only were its branches and leaves red, but the only fruit that was connected was also blood-red.

In addition, there is another thing, that is, on the innermost stone wall here, there is a blood-red vine plant, which is more than two feet long.

"How's it going, boy? Didn't expect that, right? Actually, I only stumbled upon this place more than a month ago. ”

At this moment, the old woman in blood, who then flew ashore, said loudly.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a space deep underground." Zhong Yong said.

"Jiji, in fact, the main reason I brought you here is because of it." Then the blood-clad old woman raised her hand and pointed to the blood-red tree in the center.

Seeing the blood-red tree, the old woman seemed to be very excited.

"Because of it?" Zhong Yong's face showed doubt.

Zhong Yong had guessed before that this small tree and that vine might be great spiritual creatures. But what does this have to do with yourself?

"Hmph, boy, you're really blind. This small tree is called the Heavenly Blood Tree, and the fruit it bears is called the Heavenly Blood Fruit, and the Heavenly Blood Tree blooms for 3,000 years, bears fruit for 3,000 years, and will not mature for 3,000 years after fruiting, and this is still under the condition that the blood and qi supply is sufficient. The ripe Heavenly Blood Fruit is a treasure that any Blood Dao cultivator would want to get. The blood-clothed old woman snorted coldly and said excitedly.

"Three thousand years of flowering, three thousand years of fruiting, and after the fruit, it will take another three thousand years to mature?" Zhong Yong's heart was shocked, he didn't expect this inconspicuous little tree to be such a spiritual thing.

"Yes, now I know how precious it is. I'm telling you in the hope that you know what to expect. But don't leak it out to me, or don't blame me for being unkind to you. At this time, the blood-clothed old woman's face finally showed a trace of ruthlessness.

In fact, since the old woman in blood clothes chose to tell Zhong Yong, she must have absolutely controlled Zhong Yong, but out of caution, she still warned Zhong Yong fiercely.

"The juniors know, please rest assured." Hearing this, Zhong Yong said solemnly.

At this time, Zhong Yong had a feeling that if it was really because of him that there was a problem with this Heavenly Blood Tree, he would definitely be broken into pieces by this old woman, and his soul would be refined.

"Boy, from today onwards, you have three tasks, the first task is that you need to hunt a hundred fierce beasts every day, and then use their blood to irrigate and feed this Heavenly Blood Tree; The second task is that you also have to force some of your blood from your body every day to feed the Spirit Tree, not much, only fifty drops a day. ”

Speaking of this, the old woman in blood clothes deliberately paused and looked at Zhong Yong with a sneer.

Looking at the smiling old woman in bloody clothes, Zhong Yong's scalp was numb for a while, but after thinking about it, he still mustered up his courage and said stubbornly: "Senior, do you think fifty drops a day is a bit much?" In a short period of time, the body of the younger generation should be able to withstand it, but after a long time, the younger generation is afraid..."

Zhong Yong said with a look of embarrassment.

"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that Zhong Yong's words had not yet been finished, the face of the old woman in blood suddenly flashed.

"No, the juniors are willing." Seeing this, Zhong Yong was shocked and hurriedly changed his words.

"Well, that's pretty much it." The blood-clothed old woman nodded with satisfaction and said.

Then the old woman in blood stretched out her thin arm, pointed to the mountain-like bones in the distance, and said, "Do you see those dry bones?" They should all have been captured by the previous owner of the Heavenly Blood Tree, and their blood was used to feed the Heavenly Blood Tree, because the blood of human monks is more spiritual than the blood of beasts, which can ensure the spirituality of the Heavenly Blood Tree. Boy, you're lucky enough, I was going to ask you to contribute 200 drops a day. But for the sake of a more important use, I don't ask for that much. ”

As she spoke, the blood-clothed old woman waved her hand, and a blood-red scroll flew out of the old woman's wide blood-colored sleeves.

"Well, your third task is to cultivate this exercise."

"There is a blood path technique recorded in this scroll, called the Eight Desolation Blood Demon Skill, this magic skill you have to practice well for the old body, and in the future, you will also need to use the blood demon spiritual power you have cultivated to nourish the Heavenly Blood Tree every day."

"Cultivating the Blood Dao Technique?"

Hearing this, Zhong Yong's complexion changed and his expression was nervous.

In Zhong Yong's heart, although he had three spiritual roots, he had never thought of cultivating three or two exercises, after all, his spiritual root qualifications could not allow him to be distracted. Moreover, in order to maintain the balance between the two exercises, once he has cultivated, he must continue to cultivate.

Although there are also actions in the cultivation realm to break the spiritual sea and abolish cultivation, this is mostly a means of punishment, and it is a very cruel method.

Ordinary monks only have one spiritual root, one spiritual sea, once it is broken, it will represent the severance of the path of cultivation, and when the spiritual sea is destroyed, it will bring unimaginable damage to the body, and even death.

Although Zhong Yong cultivated two exercises and had two spiritual seas, he only broke one of them, but even so, he couldn't bear the price.

But now in front of this blood-clothed old woman, he can't tolerate half of his resistance, or even questioning.

"Boy, what are you thinking? Are you very reluctant to cultivate the Eight Desolation Blood Demon Skills of the old body? Boy, let me tell you, don't be ignorant, these Eight Desolate Blood Demon Skill is a top-grade exercise, which was obtained by luck from the old body, and it is also the method cultivated by the old body. Actually, I didn't plan to let you cultivate demonic skills at first, but I was just going to let you hunt fierce beasts and feed the Heavenly Blood Tree with your blood. But who made the old body find out that you have three spiritual roots? The blood-clad old woman sneered.

After laughing twice, the old woman in blood continued to say: "Use the spiritual power of the Eight Desolations Blood Demon Skill to nourish the Heavenly Blood Tree, over time, the Spirit Tree and Spirit Fruit will also have the characteristics of the Eight Desolation Blood Demon Skill, which will be of great benefit to me in refining the Spirit Fruit in the future." In fact, it's best for me to do this myself, but the old body has other things to do, and there is no work, otherwise which turn will you have to do it? The old body's magic skills are not something that anyone can cultivate. ”

The blood-clothed old woman snorted coldly.

"I don't want to cultivate yet!" Hearing this, Zhong Yong's heart was slandered.

But Zhong Yong could only mutter in his heart, he didn't dare to say it.

"Boy, are you cultivating or not cultivating? If you cultivate, you will live, and your old body will treat you well, and if you don't cultivate, you will die. ”

At this moment, the old woman in blood said in a dark voice, especially the word "death" at the end, which made Zhong Yong's heart jump uncontrollably.

"Thank you for the merit of the seniors, the younger generations are willing to cultivate." Zhong Yong was helpless, so he had to bow down and say.

"Hmph, kid, you should be glad that you have three spiritual roots, otherwise the old body will not make you so happy even if he doesn't squeeze your flesh and blood to feed the Heavenly Blood Tree."

"But when I met you, this can be regarded as the luck of the old body, with a large amount of beast blood and your blood, plus the nourishment of the blood demon's spiritual power, I estimate that in a year, the blood fruit should be ripe on this day." The blood-clad old woman then laughed.

"That junior, I wish the seniors an early harvest of spiritual fruits and an early progress in their magic skills." This Zhong Yong bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Boy, don't pretend, I know you're disgruntled now, but the old body won't treat you badly, when the blood fruit is ripe on this day, the red blood demon vine over there will be yours." Then, as if she remembered something, the old woman in blood pointed to the demon vine on the stone wall not far away, and said to Zhong Yong.

"Senior, you said it's called the Red Blood Demon Vine, you want to take it...?" Zhong Yong's heart was overjoyed and said.

At this time, Zhong Yong finally knew what the hideous-looking blood-colored vine was called, it was originally called the Red Blood Demon Vine. It's just that he didn't expect that this blood-clothed old woman would give him this demon vine.

Although Zhong Yong didn't know what kind of treasure this red blood demon vine was and what it was for, for a small second-layer cultivator of the Qi Cultivation Realm, under normal circumstances, it would definitely be very difficult to obtain.

"It's a little bit of a reward for me." Zhong Yong's heart thought secretly.

"This red blood demon vine, there were originally two here, I had already taken one before, and the remaining one will be given to you. I'll help you get it in when it's done. ”

"Hey, boy, don't feel like you're at a loss. Although taking care of the Heavenly Blood Tree, you may suffer a little, and I also know that if you want to cultivate one more exercise, it will also greatly affect your future entry, but this red blood demon vine is not ordinary. If you let others know, there will be a lot of people who will break their scalps and come to find the old body. The old woman in the bloody suit sneered.

After the old woman in blood finished speaking, then, as soon as she raised her hand, a bloody light hit Zhong Yong.

Zhong Yong was taken aback and asked, "Senior, who are you?" ”

Then Zhong Yong hurriedly checked his whole body and found that there was no discomfort on his body.

"Don't worry, I've just left my spiritual imprint on you. Okay, kid, don't forget what I told you, take good care of this Heavenly Blood Spirit Tree of the old body, and the old body should also cultivate. Since I was lucky enough to encounter such a treasure as the Heavenly Blood Fruit, I also had to prepare earlier. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, she walked to the stone wall on the right, and a spiritual power hit the stone wall, and then saw a stone door begin to appear from the stone wall, and after a squeak, the old woman in blood flashed and got in.

Then, as the stone gate slowly disappeared, the stone wall also returned to its previous appearance. If it weren't for a master with a certain amount of cultivation, he would definitely not know that there was a cave hidden behind this stone wall.

At least Zhong Yong didn't see it before.

"It seems that a year later, when the blood fruit is ripe on this day, she will use it." Zhong Yong guessed in his heart.
