Chapter 18 The Old Man Who is Lonely

The old man hesitated for a moment, looked at the purple crystal in Li Ji's right hand and said: "This is the inner pill of the man-eating tarantula, also known as the beast spirit pill, which has the effect of improving the spiritual power of cultivation, especially for beginners, it is an auxiliary holy medicine to break through the foundation of the hundred days and enter the gate of cultivating immortals, not to mention that this thing has been cultivated for thousands of years!"

"I can't imagine that the man-eating tarantula is so ugly that it actually harbors a magical beast spirit pill?" Looking at the already dead man-eating tarantula, Li Ji showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, the Spirit Beast Forest is all-encompassing and full of wonders, and many immortal cultivators often come here in groups to hunt spirit beasts in order to obtain the Beast Spirit Pill and assist in cultivation. Of course, not every spirit beast has a chance to explode, and if you get the Inner Pill that has been cultivated for more than a hundred years, then your luck is already excellent. As he spoke, beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, the old man's face was as pale as paper, but it was difficult to hide his arrogant face, his eyes that were originally shining were a little sluggish at this time, and a trace of red blood on his chest was shocking.

Taking a breath, when the old man's eyes fell on the object in Li Ji's left hand, his face changed for a long time, and he was surprised and confused: "As for the colorful fossil on your left hand, it is very strange, it does not look like it belongs to the cannibal tarantula itself, it should be something that was eaten by mistake." Its surface is smooth and round, dazzling, and it seems to be the egg hatched by a giant dragon in ancient times, which has been fossilized over thousands of years. This kind of dragon colorful fossil has long been extinct in the world, and it is extremely difficult to hatch, and countless immortal cultivators have tried to hatch it for thousands of years, but they have all failed. ”

"Oh...... It turned out to be a fossilized dragon egg, which was also a rare treasure. Li Ji stared at the giant egg in his hand, his eyes lit up, and muttered to himself.

"Boy, you're lucky! It's not easy to get two once-in-a-lifetime treasures by chance today! Thanks to your reminder, the old man was able to avoid the man-eating tarantula attack, which shows that you are a chivalrous person, not a treacherous villain. Since you and I met by fate, there is destiny in the dark, and I will help you absorb the essence of this thousand-year-old beast spirit pill. ”

As he spoke, the old man barely bracked up and sat up.

"Old man, don't work hard! You are highly poisoned, and your body may be inconvenient. Li Ji waved his hand again and again.

"This bit of poison is not difficult for the old man, if it weren't for the fact that a few masters of the spirit world mistook the old man for being a demon from the Blood Demon Palace, and joined forces to besiege me, thinking that I would be lonely all my life, and I couldn't be defeated, it was rare to meet a peerless master, I was very excited, and I didn't explain too much. After a battle, although the seven of them were defeated by me, I was also seriously injured, my meridians were broken, and I lost half of my strength, and I was poisoned by this demon beast ...... take the opportunity, and now I am already poisoned, and I am afraid that my life will not be long!

"By the way, senior, how did you see me?" Li Ji said when the old man's deafening laughter stopped abruptly.

"This kind of little trick is extremely simple, the invisible pill is just a trick to cover the eyes, it will work in front of mortals or those with lower cultivation, but in front of the spirit master level or above, it can be detected, let alone show off in front of the spirit emperor level. The old man's painful face flashed with a hint of confidence, and the past seemed to hide an unknown glorious and proud thing.

"I don't know the name of the senior? Forgive the junior Li Ji for being rude. Li Ji was shocked in his heart, this old man turned out to be a terrifying Spirit Emperor level, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

Since entering Shennong Villa, I have learned from my senior brother one after another that there are nine levels of spiritual cultivators, from low to high, they are Chu Ling, Ling Shi, Ling Shi, Ling Emperor, Ling Shen, Ling Xian, Ling Zun, Ling Sheng, and Ling Emperor.

The old man Dugu claimed to have reached the level of the Spirit Emperor, that is, he had reached the realm of "the unity of heaven and man, and the emperor in the domain".

The uncles of the master and other academicians are still at the spirit master level, although they are one level different from the spirit emperor, but the level of the spirit cultivator is extremely difficult to break through, so the difference between one level is very different.

"For more than 100 years in the rivers and lakes, the old man's name has long been forgotten, but the people in the rivers and lakes have given me the false name of 'South Dharma, North Dugu', you just call me Dugu Old Man!" The old man closed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't want to remember the past of Hongchen, and the corners of his mouth flashed a faint mockery.

When Li Ji first entered the door of spiritual cultivation, he was not deeply involved in the world, and he didn't know where the "rivers and lakes" were as the old man Dugu, let alone the meaning of "Dharma in the south, lonely in the north", after all, it involved the privacy of others, and it was inconvenient to ask more.

With the help of the faint light, Li Ji carefully looked at the old man Dugu in front of him, only to see that he was wearing a dark robe, his body was fluttering, his eyebrows were fluttering, and his brown hair was dancing without wind.

"Senior Dugu, why did you come to the Spirit Beast Forest alone?" Seeing that the old man Dugu in front of him was so amiable and extraordinary, Li Ji asked with courage.

"It's a long story, the old man has pursued the highest martial arts in the world all his life, and he is known for his swordsmanship, and he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than a hundred years, killing all the enemies and defeating the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world. By chance, I heard that the four elders of the elf clan in the spirit beast forest had martial arts, and I wanted to compete with them on the sword. Who would have thought that before seeing his person, he had fallen into such a field, and the so-called man is not as good as the sky, which is a lifelong regret. After speaking, the lonely old man looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Dugu senior, your cultivation is so high, is there any way to cure it? Li Ji said.

"It's difficult, even if the Daluo Immortal descends to earth, he may not be able to continue my life, just to survive, the rare and exotic grass of the Spirit Beast Forest, if you can help me delay for a while, the old man will be satisfied. Shaking his head, the old man Dugu was discouraged, and his expression was gloomy.

"Senior Dugu, I don't know if the Nine Heavens Xuan Ice Grass can be beneficial to the injuries of the seniors?" Seeing the old man Dugu so sad, Li Ji couldn't bear it in his heart, and suddenly asked.

"Huh, the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Grass is a rare treasure, and it is still a holy medicine for the treatment of internal injuries, if there is such a thing, the old man's life can be extended for three more days, but unfortunately there is only one plant left in the world, it is extremely difficult to find, and it is difficult to preserve. The old man Dugu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The younger generation is not talented, and I happen to have a Nine Heavens Xuanbing Grass, I am willing to honor my predecessors!" Li Ji was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and took out the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Grass, and decisively handed it to the old man Dugu.

"Huh, it's really the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Grass. The old man Dugu looked at Li Ji in surprise, took the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Grass, swallowed it after a few bites, and sat up to heal his injuries.

With a stick of incense, the old man Dugu slowly opened his eyes, the light gradually increased, and his skills seemed to have recovered a lot.

But his face was still as pale as paper, and he smiled indifferently: "Using the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Grass, I have temporarily forced the internal injuries and poisonous gas. I am grateful for your kindness to extend my life for three days. The old man is the most reluctant to owe favors in his life, young man, if you have any requirements, the old man will definitely meet you. ”

"Uh...... Saving the dead and helping the wounded, doing chivalrous righteousness, this is what my generation should do, and Dugu's predecessors don't have to care. Li Ji said with a smile on his face.

The old man Dugu secretly thought in his heart: I can't imagine that this stupid boy, at a young age, has the quality of righteousness and chivalry in his heart, without the slightest scheming of me, which is really commendable!

He couldn't help but feel a little fond in his heart, and pointed to the beast spirit pill held in Li Ji's hand and reminded: "Boy, the thousand-year-old tarantula beast spirit pill must be absorbed within an hour, otherwise it will turn into a Dan soul and die outside the nine heavens." I see that you have no spiritual power, and this pill will help you cultivate in the future. After you swallow it, you must be careful not to use your spiritual power, because this beast spirit pill has been cultivated for thousands of years, and if you are not careful, it will burn all the jade. However, with me by your side to help you absorb the essence of the Beast Spirit Pill, all problems can be solved. ”

Hearing this, Li Ji was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Dugu seniors for your success!"

After saying that, Li Ji immediately swallowed the thousand-year-old man-eating tarantula beast elixir.

After a while, I felt that the beast spirit pill was gradually melting in the body, and a stream of heat penetrated into the eight veins of the Qi Jing, and it was like a pile of firewood burning more and more vigorously in the body, and the heat continued to accumulate, and the whole body was hot and dry, and sweat soaked through the clothes.

"Don't worry, you will slowly condense the energy of the most yang to the strength in your body to the dantian, and the old man will help you break through the second vein of Rendu. ”

After speaking, the old man Dugu took a slight breath, slapped out a palm, and hit Li Ji's body, and a powerful yin and soft spiritual power penetrated into his body along the old man's palm, blending with the supreme yang and rigid energy.

Li Ji quickly channeled the two energies of Yin and Yang to the dantian, and the dantian was like a vast and infinite universe, and the energy was absorbed so far.

The old man Dugu showed a look of surprise on his face, and the other palm was also full of spiritual power and hit Li Ji's back, like a surging river, the dantian in Li Ji's body trembled, and a huge suction force was suddenly generated, constantly absorbing the spiritual power of the old man Dugu.

"This kid...... Could it be that there is a chaotic celestial body that has not been encountered in a thousand years?" The old man Dugu was shocked in his heart and was shocked.
