Chapter Forty-Eight: Hitomi

At night, because the rain had long since stopped, the moon actually appeared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The white moonlight shone down, and the sky was brighter than before.

At the bottom of the Red Tide Peak, in the open space around the Red Spring, fires rose one after another, and about two hundred warriors scattered here.

The number of martial artists who passed the first level assessment was more than three hundred, and now the number of one-third has gone because this part of the people did not jump from the top of the mountain.

Either you don't have the ability or you don't have the guts. In short, this part of the people is eliminated.

As for the casualties, more than twenty people have appeared, not because they jumped down and fell to their deaths, but because they were all planted under the attack of the fierce beasts of the Red Spring.

A total of fourteen warriors never came up again after jumping off the red spring, and most of them were buried in the belly of the fierce beast.

The remaining seven or eight people, with varying degrees of injury, were fortunately not lonely, but had companions who pulled them up at a critical moment. His life was saved, but it was inevitable that he would have fewer arms and legs.

It was after the successive casualties that all the warriors who had not yet caught the red-eyed carp were doused with cold water, and they did not rush into the water because they suspected that the number of red-eyed carp was limited.

And everyone also realized why the Red Spring was called that.

Perhaps the red color of the spring water is mainly due to other reasons, but at least part of it must have come from the blood of these warriors.

How deep is the red spring? How many beasts are hidden underneath, and how far do you need to dive to find the red-eyed carp?

One by one, the warriors calmed down and thought more carefully about how to pass the level.

During this period, a few people also found the woman surnamed Yan and inquired in depth about the rules of the second level, mainly to know if there was a time limit.

And the answer they got was that until dawn, it was the time frame of the assessment.

In other words, they still have one night, and if they get a red-eyed carp before dawn, they can pass the level.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zhou Chen at all, because he completed the conditions for passing the test in the first time.

"Brother Zhou, your luck is really good, just go into the water, and you actually got a phoenix stone, although this thing has no effect on soul cultivation, but it is one of the best things to improve qi refining and cultivation, and the value is not low. ”

Xuanyuan Zhe was still sitting around the fire with Zhou Chen, Jia'er, and the woman surnamed Yan.

At this moment, Zhou Chen took out the red spar he had obtained before, held it in his hand, and ran the "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" to quickly absorb the aura in the spar.

In "Heaven and Earth Qigong", it is peaceful and extremely stable, Zhou Chen is not afraid of being disturbed by the outside world when he practices this skill, and he doesn't care about what "wealth is not exposed", he directly takes out the spar to practice.

Of course, in terms of Zhou Chen's character, he is naturally not a blind arrogant person. Even if he has developed an absolute strong heart in the martial arts world, he is still rational and cautious in his bones.

Just because Zhou Chen's hole cards were too strong, everyone present, including Xuanyuan Zhe, the woman surnamed Yan and other hidden masters, he didn't pay attention to them. That's why he has no scruples, swaggering out valuable spars to cultivate, and he is not afraid of anyone thinking about it.

Another point is that this "phoenix stone" in Xuanyuan Zhe's mouth is worth a lot of money but only for ordinary people, and in the eyes of the real high-level groups in this world, it is almost useless.

Just because the "Phoenix Stone" has no effect on the martial soul cultivation system, it is destined to be only used by low-end martial artists to "gather qi".

Maybe it can also reflect its value in forging, alchemy, etc., but it is not enough for high-level people to think about snatching it.

If it was replaced with a truly high-value treasure that could enhance soul power, Zhou Chen would not take it out and use it in front of people.

"Tell me about the red-eyed carp again, you mentioned that its eyeballs are useful?"

Zhou Chen was running the "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" in his body, and talking to Xuanyuan Zhe on his face would not affect the efficiency of the exercises at all.

"You're interested in that thing?"

Xuanyuan Zhe said as he reached out to fiddle with the crab roasting on the fire.

To be precise, it is a scorpion-tailed crab, the whole is a half-human-sized crab-shaped beast, characterized by a scorpion tail, and the hook on it can release venom, but it is surprisingly harmless to people, but it will make people excited for a short time, and there is a little aphrodisiac effect.

This roast crab was Xuanyuan Zhe's supper, and he deliberately jumped down the red spring to catch it. When he grabbed it and put it on the fire to roast, he cheekily asked Zhou Chen for the bottle of seasoning powder.

Zhou Chen was not stingy, so he simply gave him the whole bottle, anyway, the bottle was not big, and it would not be used a few times.

Eating people with a soft mouth and short hands, Xuanyuan Zhe got the benefits of Zhou Chen, and his face became more enthusiastic, and now Zhou Chen asked him for some information, and he naturally knew everything.

I saw him break open a crab leg, put the red and white crab leg meat in his mouth and bite it, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and then began to say: "As I said earlier, this red-eyed carp is unique to Fengming Mountain, and it is also the treasure of Yanyun Sect. You look at the content of the second level of assessment, which is to ask you to hand in two fish eyes, which is clearly Yanyun Sect using us as coolies to collect eyeballs for them. ”

"To say that this eyeball is very valuable, but it is only for special people, and it is of little use to most martial artists such as you and me. One of them, the Yuwen family, their bloodline talent is to open a special kind of eye pupil, which is called the Yan Demon Pupil. Why does the Yanyun Sect have the word Yan? This is where the origin comes from. ”

"The greatest value of the eyes of the red-eyed carp is that it can nourish the eyes. And the fire energy contained in it is also in line with the attributes of the Flame Demon Pupil. As long as the people in the Yuwen family awaken the talent to open their eyes, in order to quickly stimulate the ability of the pupil or enhance the overall strength of the pupil, it is often necessary to use treasures that can nourish the eye. The eyeballs of the red-eyed carp are definitely inferior to the real eye-raising treasures, but they are better than the large amount, and there are more than a dozen places similar to red springs in Fengming Mountain that can be hunted. ”

"These eyeballs will be sent to Baicao Peak first, and after processing, they will be handed over to the Yuwen family, and then distributed to the clansmen who have opened their eyes. These people have the talent of eye pupils, and they often use eye-nourishing medicines, and the power of cultivating pupil art can be imagined. Those who have no talent and want to cultivate the pupil technique only have envy. ”

"Speaking of which, I've only heard about it before, but now that I really see this red-eyed carp, it's so big that the medicine made from just one eyeball is enough to provide a person to cultivate several times. Yanyun Sect is worthy of being a top-level sect, and it is really rich, the old man let me come in, and finally didn't pit me. ”

Xuanyuan Zhe said while eating, not slowly, but eating faster, and when he finished speaking, the whole crab meat was all in his stomach.

"I wonder what the power of this flame demon pupil is?"

Zhou Chen also nodded after listening, and then asked again.

"What else can it be, fire control! And it is extremely powerful fire control, first advise Brother Zhou, after entering the Yanyun Sect, don't conflict with the people of the Yuwen family, and if you have to fight with them as a last resort, don't play with fire in front of them. ”

Xuanyuan Zhe said this, for some reason his mood changed, he seemed to be unconvinced and unwilling, and gritted his teeth and said: "I think of Xuanyuan Zhe Yingming I, how can I awaken the Hongluan Martial Soul!

"Hongluan?"

Zhou Chen recalled that at the beginning of the first level, he saw Xuanyuan Zhe using a martial spirit, giving birth to a pair of red wings behind his back, and flying to the top of the red tide peak in one go.

"Hehe, it's the strongest martial soul of the Xuan level!

Xuanyuan Zhe immediately changed his face again, with a smug expression, and deliberately pointed out the word "strongest", but he was still pretending to be modest again and again.

But in fact, he was wondering in his heart: This Zhou brother should obviously be from the ancient family of Yuecheng, why does he claim to be surnamed Zhou? Besides, the master's reputation is so big, why doesn't he seem to have heard of it at all? It's really strange and weird!

"Listen to what you just said, the pupil technique can be refined the day after tomorrow, so why do you still say that the eyes of the red-eyed carp are useless to us?"

Zhou Chen was actually curious about what the detailed ability of the Hongluan Martial Spirit was.

Among the martial soul materials he had read, there were most yellow-level martial souls, most of them Xuan-level, and a few earth-level and heaven-level.

Hongluan Martial Soul had also seen some information, but he didn't know much. I only know that it ranks first in the Xuan-level martial soul, and it belongs to fire. The special abilities are vaguely documented.

It's just that this is Xuanyuan Zhe's martial soul after all, and Zhou Chen didn't go deep into it. Asking the other party's detailed ability in person, Zhou Chen would not do this kind of stupid thing, because he would definitely not get an answer from the other party.

So he changed the question.

"Brother Zhou, the Pupil Technique is the most difficult of all the secret methods to cultivate, you don't know this, right? People who don't have special pupil qualifications want to refine the Pupil Technique secret method the day after tomorrow, the possibility is too low. Unless, of course, you get your hands on the rarest eye-catching treasures to increase the strength of your pupils, that's another story. ”

Xuanyuan Zhe shook his head and continued: "And the secret method of pupil art itself is extremely rare, my Xuanyuan family's strength is strong enough, right? There are only three secret methods of pupil art that I have! Yanyun Sect may have more, and the Yuwen family has been searching everywhere for a long time, I guess there are about ten." ”

"I see, thank you. ”

Zhou Chen understood what he wanted to know, so he didn't continue to ask anything.

He is not a character who likes to talk nonsense with people, even if it was Xuanyuan Zhe who was talking about it just now.

The reason why I want to know these is because Zhou Chen himself also has a pupil technique.

It's not from the Gu family, and according to Gu Qi's memory, the Gu family doesn't even have a pupil technique at all.

Zhou Chen's pupil technique is from Sun Wukong!

Sharp-eyed!

This great magic power obtained from Sun Wukong, Zhou Chen has never forgotten it.

Yes, "Fiery Eyes" is not a secret method, but a supernatural power! The level is many times higher.

Zhou Chen had always been thinking about this magical power, but unfortunately he had never met the conditions for cultivating it.

And now, when I came to this "Soul Martial Continent", the world level seemed to be at the same level as the "Hulu Immortal World", and the cultivation system might not be as good as the latter, but the aura of heaven and earth was actually a little higher.

Therefore, among the various heavenly and earthly treasures bred in this world, it is likely that there is one that can allow Zhou Chen to cultivate "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes", and the red-eyed carp in front of him is one of them!

"The cultivation method of "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes" is divided into two major steps, the first step is to nourish the eyes and improve the strength of the eyes, and then the second part absorbs the energy of fire and gold. The red-eyed carp's eyes are not only eye-catching, but also have fire, it's like God is telling me that it's time to cultivate this magical power!"

Zhou Chen couldn't wait to start cultivating "Fiery Eyes" now, this magical power that had made him worry about it for hundreds of years.

But he still held back, and his face was also impassive.

According to what Xuanyuan Zhe said, the eyeballs of the red-eyed carp are equivalent to the exclusive use of the Yuwen family, and they are their forbidden belly, which cannot be touched by others. It may be that some disciples of the Yanyun Sect can be allowed to use it, but Zhou Chen is an outsider now, so he will definitely not be able to enjoy it.

From the conversation with Xuanyuan Zhe just now, the woman surnamed Yan, who was also sitting by the fire, heard her sect being talked about, but as if she hadn't heard it, her attention was not on Zhou Chen and the others, but on the Hongquan side.

To be precise, she was paying attention to the warrior who was still diving in the red spring at this moment.

Zhou Chen guessed that she was simply monitoring to prevent someone from swallowing the eyes of the red-eyed carp.

I'm afraid that except for the election period, there must be a special person in charge of guarding this Hongquan area.

"It seems that there is one more reason to worship the Yanyun Sect. ”

It was only at this time that Zhou Chen finally had a reason to enter the Yanyun Sect.

Before meeting the red-eyed carp, although he also wanted to get close to the protagonist to get benefits, it was not necessary, he could leave at any time, and it didn't matter.

Now it's different, in order to refine "Fiery Eyes", he decided to stay in Yanyun Sect.

"Yuwen Family, Flame Demon Pupil...... That's it......"

Zhou Chen basically guessed what the prototype of the Yuwen family was.

If it were set according to the comics he had read, the Yuwen family here would probably be very difficult to mess with, and it would have always been a difficult task to snatch the resources for cultivating pupil art from them.

"If it's simpler, go directly to the Yuwen family and see if you can get resources, if you can't, you're forcing me to be ruthless. ”

Zhou Chen had a preliminary idea and gradually calmed down.

His body was still running the "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong", and the phoenix stone in his hand was also constantly absorbing the fire aura by him.

On the other hand, the white-robed boy sitting in a certain corner still had an ugly face after seeing Zhou Chen and Xuanyuan Zhe talking so speculatively.

"It's time to do it, it's only the second level, and it's forcing me to use the bloodline talent, it's really damn it!"

The white-robed boy took a sip, his eyes narrowed, showing a dangerous light, and walked towards a certain place.

There, there were two warriors sitting around the fire eating, drinking, and talking, and it was not only the danger that was approaching.
