Chapter 319: The Underground Proving Ground
Nie Lingfeng signed a hundred-year "gentleman's agreement" with Martial Emperor Zhenren, and then sent a transmission note to Luo Mei'er, asking Martial Emperor Zhenren to go and obey orders, and then set off to continue towards the Divine Medicine Mountain of the Divine Medicine Sect.
Divine Medicine Mountain, formerly known as: the first immortal mountain in Donghuazhou.
This is because the Divine Medicine Mountain is located in the easternmost part of Donghua Continent, which is close to the haze forest, and is very rich in resources, especially after tens of thousands of years of operation by the monks of the Divine Medicine Sect, it has almost become a fairyland on earth.
The eighteen peaks of the Divine Medicine Mountain, each peak has a vast spiritual field and medicine garden, although the grade of the spiritual grass is not too high, but in the Hades Continent, almost all the spiritual grasses in the immortal cultivation world are included here, and there are tens of thousands of monks who come to the Divine Medicine Sect City every day to buy pills!
Nie Lingfeng changed his appearance slightly, and followed the flow of people into the Fang Market of the Divine Medicine Sect, speaking of which, the people who could come to the Divine Medicine Sect to obtain the pill were generally old monsters above the Yuan Infant Stage, and only a few were disciples of the Jindan Stage and the Bigu Stage, after all, those low-level cultivators simply did not have enough spirit stones to buy the pill here. Besides, there are no ordinary low-grade pills here.
"Why are there so many people?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't have imagined that such an inconspicuous market would gather tens of thousands of monks, and most of them were monks who had cultivated above the Yuan Infant Stage, so he couldn't help but ask a Yuan Infant Monk beside him in surprise.
"Senpai!" The monk glanced at Nie Lingfeng and found that the other party turned out to be an ancestor of the Tribulation Period, so he couldn't help but hurriedly bow down and said, "Junior, I heard that this time the Divine Medicine Sect is going to auction a hundred poison-repelling pills......
"Poison Pill?" Nie Lingfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, "This poison pill still needs to be auctioned?" ”
Indeed, the poison repelling pill is the most common pill in the world of cultivating immortals, and its function is to detoxify, and even, there is a little bit of erysipelas in the body, of course. It is incomparable to Nie Lingfeng's Pure Spirit Pill and Ten Thousand Years Essence, and even, one Pure Spirit Pill can be exchanged for tens of thousands of poison-repelling pills.
"The seniors don't know!" The monk explained very respectfully: "Senior, this time the Divine Medicine Sect issued a bounty, because the Divine Medicine Sect found an underground trial ground underground, but. The trial grounds were filled with poisonous gases and poisons, as if they had lost a few elders from the Tribulation Period. ”
"What?" Nie Lingfeng was shocked when he heard this, "Underground Proving Ground? ”
"yes!" Seeing Nie Lingfeng's surprised appearance, the monk was surprised: "Could it be ......?" ”
"Oh! It's nothing! "Why did Nie Lingfeng lose his temper? That's because the treasure he wants to get is in the underground treasure house, but I don't know if this underground trial ground and the treasure house left by the Fengyun Sect are the same place!
"Is there anything else going on with the seniors?" That monk didn't dare to leave easily, after all, in the immortal cultivation world, everything is respected by strength! If you anger an old monster in the Tribulation Period, then the other party will kill him, and he will not have the ability to resist.
"I want to ask if this has anything to do with the poison-repelling pill?" Nie Lingfeng asked.
"The seniors don't know! That poison repelling pill is a top-grade pill that has been accumulated by the Divine Medicine Sect for tens of thousands of years......"
"Top-grade elixir?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Indeed, no matter what kind of elixir, as long as it is a top-grade one, it will be more than a thousand times more powerful than the low-grade medicinal power! Therefore, this high-grade elixir is not something that can be obtained casually! In other words, the price of this top-grade poison repelling pill is probably going to break through 10,000 top-grade spirit stones! If these 100 top-grade pills are auctioned off...... Wow!
"However, if you want to get a poison pill, you have to have conditions!" The monk continued.
"On what terms?"
"The monk who has obtained the Poison Pill must enter the underground trial ground of the Divine Medicine Sect and help collect a 10,000-year-old spirit grass in the trial ground at the price!" The monk smiled. He took out a jade cylinder and handed it to Nie Lingfeng and said, "Senior." It's very detailed,......"
"Thank you very much!" Nie Lingfeng casually threw him a Qi Gathering Pill, then took the jade tube and turned to leave.
That monk never dreamed that this ancestor of the Tribulation Period was so easy to talk to, and he even gave himself a Qi Gathering Pill! The value of this Qi Gathering Pill is probably a few points stronger than the Poison Clearing Pill. After all, the value of this elixir that can instantly restore the spiritual energy in one's body is not something that can be measured with spirit stones.
Ignoring the monk's shocked expression, Nie Lingfeng found a place to take a detailed look at the jade tube, only then did he know that the underground trial ground that the Divine Medicine Sect said was really the treasure of the Fengyun Sect!
Moreover, the Divine Medicine Sect had apparently discovered this underground testing ground very early. It's just that after dozens of generations of exploration and the sacrifice of a large number of high-level monks, this is the initial understanding of the internal structure of this testing ground.
Among them, the basement floor is a place full of poisons, where a large number of poisonous insects appear, and there are a lot of "plain jade" here, the only use of this plain jade is to refine the Zhuyan Pill, and the Divine Medicine Sect has announced the purchase price, each piece of plain jade can be exchanged for a hundred high-grade spirit stones from the Divine Medicine Sect, that is to say, after you get the top-grade poison removal pill, even if you don't go to the second layer, you can only find more than 100 pieces of plain jade on the first layer to exchange it for the spirit stone of the poison repelling pill by auctioning it yourself!
The second floor of the trial ground is a place full of poisonous gases and poisons, there are poisonous gases that turn into blood in an instant, and there are plants and demons that kill people. However, the treasures here are even more exciting, because there are many 10,000-year-old immortal spirit grasses here, the most precious of which is the spirit grass called Poisonous Blood Grass, which is one of the three main medicines for refining the Void Pill, and it is also the most difficult to find. Its value is immeasurable!
Of course, this Hades Continent cannot cultivate to the Ascending Stage, which is also a knot in the hearts of all monks, but the Divine Medicine Sect now suddenly wants to get the Poisonous Blood Grass, which also shows that the Divine Medicine Sect has mastered the method of refining the Crossing Void Pill, and even, the other two main medicines have also been obtained, they obviously want to refine the Crossing Void Pill, and then test it, wanting to verify whether they can make the Supreme Elder in the door ascend to the Ascending Stage.
Indeed, for tens of thousands of years in the Hades Continent, there has never been a monk in the Ascension Stage, and of course, the pill that can make the monk advance to the Ascension Stage has never appeared, which is also the reason why the Divine Medicine Sect fantasizes that the Void Pill can allow the monk to advance to the Ascension Stage.
However, Nie Lingfeng knew. Even if there is a Void Pill, don't want the monk to advance to the Ascension Stage, but others have not confirmed it, and they all have very big "illusions".
As for whether this is the reason or not, Nie Lingfeng is just guessing now, and his true intention is probably only known to a few Supreme Elders of the Divine Medicine Sect!
"Exactly!" Nie Lingfeng was worried about how to enter the underground treasure house of the Fengyun Sect, but he didn't expect that the Divine Medicine Sect had given him such a legitimate opportunity. Of course. The Divine Medicine Sect had only ascertained that there were two floors of this underground trial ground, and it was not clear that the most precious of them was the third layer of the trial ground.
Nie Lingfeng followed the instructions of the jade tube and went straight to the auction hall of the Divine Medicine Sect Fang City, of course, as a monk in the Tribulation Period, Nie Lingfeng didn't have to queue up at all, nor did he have to participate in the auction, and he could directly deliver 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, which could be exchanged for a top-grade poison pill. Although Nie Lingfeng didn't need this poison pill. However, if you don't have the token issued by the Divine Medicine Sect, it would be a bit difficult for you to sneak into the underground treasure house.
After obtaining the poison repellent pill and token, Nie Lingfeng came directly to the main peak of the Divine Medicine Sect, where there were already more than a dozen monks waiting for the Tribulation Period. Of course, except for the two monks who have the middle grade of the Tribulation Period, the rest are all monks of the lower grade of the Tribulation Period. After all, for the entire Hades Continent. The monks of the Tribulation Period are all top-notch existences, and there are only seven or eight monks in the Tribulation Period within some major sects.
And the two monks in the middle of the tribulation period, Nie Lingfeng, could already see from their clothes, one was the Supreme Elder from the Hundred Flowers Palace, and the other was a female cultivator who was as beautiful as a fairy; The other one was the Supreme Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, a thin old man.
The monks of the Tribulation Period here are basically elders sent by various sects, and several of them are scattered cultivators from various continents. Their purpose is first for the plain jade, and the second is for the poisonous blood grass.
This plain jade can completely make up for the spirit stones he spends, and even, if he has any excess, he can also ask the Divine Medicine Sect to help him refine a few Zhuyan Pills; And that poisonous blood grass, if you can get two plants, you will be rich. Because you only need to turn in one plant.
The attraction of the 10,000-year-old spirit grass is really too great, after all, the second layer is not only the 10,000-year-old poisonous blood grass, if you can get some more high-value spirit grass, maybe there will be a chance for the Dan Master of the Divine Medicine Sect to refine the high-grade pill for free.
For these monks, the path of cultivating immortals is originally full of risks, but behind the risks is the gains, once they are lucky enough to get a little chance, then, maybe their cultivation will go to a higher level because of this. Don't look at the monks of the Tribulation Period, the gap between the lower grade and the middle grade is very clear to everyone. Take it as an example, the two mid-tribulation period monks were accompanied by the low-grade monks of the Divine Medicine Sect, and there were some spiritual fruits and spiritual teas in front of them; And although the other monks who were inferior to the Tribulation Period also had spirit fruits and spirit tea in front of them, the level of the spirit fruit was not the same at all, and even, so many people were just a few Yuan Infant Stage monks serving.
Nie Lingfeng didn't care about these things, he just found a quiet place, sat down slowly, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, there were a hundred people in the main hall, of course, most of them were in the Yuan Infant Stage, but those monks in the Yuan Infant Stage were also the highest grade in the Yuan Infant Stage, and as for those in the Tribulation Period, there were a total of thirty-one people, and there were a total of three monks in the Intermediate Tribulation Period, one of whom was an elder of the Divine Medicine Sect.
"We're getting moving!" The elder of the Divine Medicine Sect stood up and said: "Our hundred people are divided into three teams, the real person of this medicine ding, the Lingyi real person of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and the tanuki real person of the Spirit Beast Sect will lead a team into the first layer respectively, but if you want to go to the second layer, then you have to act alone, however, I advise you, if you don't reach the tribulation period, don't go to the second layer!" Because the first layer of plain jade is enough for you to make a fortune! ”
"Yes! ......" A group of primordial infant monks immediately shouted excitedly when they heard this, poor they didn't know the horror of the underground treasure house, if the first layer was really so simple, then why did the Divine Medicine Sect let them in?
"And! In the underground vault, no one can teleport! Yao Ding Zhenren said: "Because this underground treasure house seems to exist in a formation, once the monk casts a teleportation, it will immediately be turned into ashes!" ……”
"Why is that? ……”
"Why didn't you tell us in advance? ……”
When the monks heard this, they immediately shouted, indeed, once they could teleport, then. Most of them can have the certainty of escaping, after all, after reaching the top grade of the Yuan Infant Stage, although it is very difficult to perform teleportation, even if it takes decades of skill, it is better than losing one's life!
"Who wouldn't want to go into the underground proving grounds. Then, please take a step back, and our Divine Medicine Sect will return your spirit stone! Yao Ding Zhenren said loudly.
With Yao Ding Zhenren's question, everyone immediately shut up one after another, in fact, even if they returned two or three times the spirit stones, they would not be able to let go of the opportunity to enter this underground treasure house, those monks who shouted just now just wanted to use the topic to play, and wanted to see if they could get more benefits from the Divine Medicine Sect.
"Since no one has withdrawn, let's go!" Yao Ding Zhenren glanced at the crowd disdainfully. Then, with a wave of his hand, he divided the crowd into three groups of more than 30 people each. He immediately led more than thirty of his own people to a teleportation array in the corner of the main hall.
According to Nie Lingfeng's judgment, this teleportation array was an ultra-short-distance teleportation array, and its teleportation distance would definitely not exceed a hundred miles.
Nie Lingfeng was divided into the team of Ling Yizhen, and as a monk in the Tribulation Period, Nie Lingfeng naturally stood behind Ling Yizhen. However, his figure was just getting steady. There were a few monks who were also in the Tribulation Period squeezed up from the side, and. On the one hand, he glared at Nie Lingfeng viciously, and on the other hand, he flattered Ling Yizhen in front of him.
"Lingyi Fairy, I am the ...... of the Divine Medicine Sect"
"I'm the Spirit Beast Sect...... I'm ...... Fu Zong"
A group of people were afraid that Lingzhen would not be able to remember their names, so they shouted one after another, and suddenly the scene was chaotic, if those monks in the Yuan Infant Stage were not afraid of those old monsters in the Tribulation Period. Nie Lingfeng believed that they would definitely rush up to introduce themselves.
That Ling Yizhen turned around and smiled slightly, and the mesmerizing smile suddenly calmed down the surrounding voices.
"Everyone, don't be impatient,...... That's right. What is your name? That Ling Yizhen had just said half of his words, and suddenly saw Nie Lingfeng looking at the crowd in the distance with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but stretch out his Qianqian jade finger and asked.
"Call you! The fairy is calling you! A monk in the Tribulation Period looked back and saw that Nie Lingfeng hadn't paid attention at all, so he shouted angrily.
"Huh?" Nie Lingfeng was looking at a monk in the crowd, that person he knew, it was Xiao Bing, the grandson of the original Fengyun Sect Elder Jin Jian Zhenren, and that Xiao Bing was in the team of Tanuki Zhenren at this time. Just when he wondered why Xiao Bing appeared here, he suddenly heard someone talking to him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
"May I ask the name of this immortal friend?" The words of the spirit and the real person like the voice of heaven came slowly.
"Oh, down there is a loose cultivator, surnamed Nie!"
"Oh! It turned out to be Nie Xianyou! Ling Yizhen laughed, and suddenly a large group of "fans" around him almost flowed out of "Harazi".
"I wonder what the fairy commands?" Nie Lingfeng was very strange, he had been squeezed to the back, what was the matter with this spirit and true person calling him?
"Nie Xianyou, after entering the basement layer, I will immediately enter the second layer, I hope that someone will be able to protect these Yuan Infant Stage monks on the first layer...... Ignorance......? Ling Yizhen said, and threw a wink at Nie Lingfeng, speaking of which, this Ling Yizhen is also an alternative to the Hundred Flowers Palace, she is Lin Wen's master, and she has been practicing Mei Gong since she was a child, female cultivators like Ling Yizhen relied on double cultivation with male monks to improve their cultivation before the advanced tribulation period, therefore, she was a demon girl hated by everyone before the advanced tribulation period and before she entered the Hundred Flowers Palace, but since she entered the Hundred Flowers Palace, she immediately changed, She has become a well-known and decent Supreme Elder, and after hundreds of years of closed-door penance, few people in this world know her previous life experience, so she went out of the mountain this time not only to regain her reputation in the immortal cultivation world, but also to find revenge on Nie Lingfeng who "hurt" her apprentice.
Although Nie Lingfeng's appearance has changed, there is a hidden jade pendant on Nie Lingfeng's body, and this hidden jade pendant aura can't even be hidden from Lin Wen, let alone the spirit of this mid-tribulation period. Therefore, after she knew Nie Lingfeng's identity, she immediately began to think differently!
And Nie Lingfeng never imagined that it was the hidden jade pendant that revealed his identity, in fact, after retrieving the hidden jade pendant from the corpse of the crazy bone real person, he had already hidden the jade pendant in the Qiankun Bead, but the breath of the high-grade magic weapon could not escape the induction of Ling Yizhen.
Although Nie Lingfeng didn't know why this Ling Yizhen suddenly said such a thing to himself, he had already guessed that this woman had bad intentions towards him, obviously wanting to make herself the target of the public, so he smiled slightly and said, "The fairy's orders, you must obey them!" ”
"That's good!" Ling Yizhen couldn't imagine that Nie Lingfeng would be so well-behaved, so she couldn't export the words that wanted to lead others to the same hatred, so she could only smile at Nie Lingfeng again and said, "In that case, we will leave after entering the first layer!" Does anyone want to go to the second floor with me? (To be continued......)
