Chapter 163: Ancient Secret Realm
"However, although the blood fusion ceremony is a desperate test of life and death, it is not without benefits to you, once you pass it alive, not only can you be reborn and greatly increase the strength of your flesh and blood, but also greatly improve your innate qualifications, for you, it is definitely a great opportunity worth betting."
Ruan Qin obviously understands the principle of both hard and soft, and after stating the benefits and disadvantages clearly, many men and women can't help but be excited.
Unlike players, NPCs have different qualifications, ranging from high to low.
In the game, there are two ways to say about qualifications.
The first is the innate aptitude, which determines the cultivation speed and the height of future growth, which is extremely difficult to change, unless there is a great chance or some kind of magical heaven and earth treasure to help, it can be improved.
And there is another kind of acquired qualification, which is the acupoint of being a person, which can be improved through pills, curiosities, secret techniques, targeted exercises, etc., which causes people who cultivate the same level, and there is also a difference between strength and weakness.
For those who practice, the power of the acupoints begins at the age of twelve or thirteen, and only then can they officially practice.
Of course, the age definition of twelve or thirteen years old can only be applied to ordinary cultivators, and some of the children of top families and sects who are highly valued, have been washing their bodies with spiritual essence since childhood, quenching their bodies with magic medicine, and there are many people who open the acupoints at the age of nine or ten, and some of them are top-notch existences, and there are even those who have been formally practicing since they were seven or eight years old.
There are more than 100 people on the platform, except for Gu Han, the oldest is only twenty-one or twelve years old, and the younger one is seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is at least in the early stage of cultivation in the Xuannian Realm, which shows that the innate posture is good. However, there are still a large number of people who are from poor backgrounds and have low family backgrounds, and they are naturally very hot for the blood fusion ceremony, which is said to be a great opportunity to improve their innate qualifications.
"Now that you are riding a tiger, the pros and cons are gaining and losing, and the concubine body has also been explained very clearly, I believe that you have already calculated in your hearts, so you won't gossip much. From now on, you can meditate on this platform, adjust your state, and at nightfall, the blood melting ceremony will officially begin. After Ruan Qin finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Han with the same deep meaning, and without saying anything, he jumped back to the top of the giant snake's head, and closed his eyes to breathe.
As soon as the two left-handed powers settled, the voices of discussion on the platform became more and more noisy for a while, some people were worried and worried, some people looked excited, and some people looked complicated and silent.
Gu Han and others also gathered in a group to discuss countermeasures.
"This blood fusion ceremony, I have heard of it a little." Wei Xian heard some news from somewhere, and explained to everyone in a deep voice: "More than ten years ago, Xie An, the sect master of the Soul Detention Palace, 'Yin Master', found an ancient secret realm, and I don't know which powerful person arranged that secret realm, and the entrance ban is extremely powerful, and it took two years of efforts from the three elders of the Soul Detention Hall and Xie An to break the prohibition at all. In the end, he invited Xu Futong, the Supreme Elder of the 'Huangquan Heaven', to reluctantly open a few gaps at the entrance, but these gaps were extremely unstable, among which the laws of heaven and earth were extremely chaotic, and the ordinary monks of the Dharma Phase Period burst into it and died. Entering the treasure mountain and not being able to, the old demons naturally would not be reconciled, and tried various methods one by one, and finally they tried a feasible method - that is, a martial artist of the Xuannian Realm with an extremely strong physique can have a greater chance of passing safely. ”
Gu Han raised his eyebrows, and looked at Wei Xian with a strange look in his eyes, this kind of secret of the Demon Gate is difficult for ordinary people to know, where did he know about it? It seems that this guy's origin is not simple.
"According to what Brother Wei said, the reason why they have captured so many Xuannian Realm cultivators is to use this blood fusion ritual to cultivate a group of physically strong people, so that they can explore that secret realm?" Luo Yinchu asked in a deep voice.
"When it is." Wei Xian nodded slowly.
"Hmph, these demons are on the left, and they are really unscrupulous. Let's think about it, that secret realm can't even be passed through by Old Demon Xu, even if there are many treasures in it, what means can we take it out? If they want to say that they have gained, they are at most some leftovers, and they actually use human lives to fill them? The method of melting blood, coupled with the unfathomable and dangerous ancient secret realm, I don't know how many people have died because of it. It's simply inhumane! Meng Guang's eyes were red with anger, and he actually scolded in front of the two demon cultivators, obviously extremely angry.
Everyone was terrified when they thought about it, if as Wei Xian said, the Soul Detention Hall was intended to be in the secret realm, then there were more than 100 people on this platform, who had gone through the blood fusion ceremony, all kinds of cruel training to tap the potential of the body, and the final treasure in the secret realm, and probably very few would survive in the end.
"Brother Meng, now is not the time to be angry, the top priority is how we can survive this so-called blood fusion ceremony!" Gu Leng spoke quietly, not relaxing in the slightest because of the promise of the middle-aged demon cultivator, he looked at Wei Xian: "Brother Wei, you are the most well-informed, but what can you do?" ”
Even if he had melted the blood of the demon beast once, he didn't have much confidence now.
Wei Xian shook his head and sighed: "There is nothing to be done, maybe it is really as the female senior said, getting rid of distracting thoughts and unifying the mind is the best way." ”
Everyone looked disappointed, each buried their heads in silence, and the previous high-spirited posture dissipated, and even faintly revealed a touch of frustration and despair.
After a long silence, Gu Han suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said: "Everyone, don't be discouraged, we can do it according to the law first, adjust our body and mind to the best, you can remember that the female predecessor once promised to help me wash the marrow and cut the hair, and then Gu took the opportunity to ask one or two, maybe there is a best way to deal with it." ”
Gu Han decided to help them, and it was good to be able to save some good reputation for himself.
Wei Xian's expression was slightly moved, the words of the middle-aged demon cultivator could not be clearer, Gu Han only needed to pass the "Blood Fusion Ceremony", and he would be taken away by him, and it had nothing to do with himself and others, he couldn't do it at all to wade into this troubled water, and it was better for Mingzhe to protect himself. Otherwise, who knows what will happen! Thinking of this, Wei Xianxiao took a step back, threw his robe away, and bowed to Gu Hanfang: "Brother Gu Gaoyi, Wei has a sense of guilt, and I thank you in advance." ”
Meng Guang, Ma Wei and others glanced at each other, and twenty or thirty people unanimously thanked each other like Wei Xian.
Gu Han hurriedly helped them up one by one, and said in a sincere tone: "You are all like this, when we are in trouble, we are all sincere and sincere, not false, now life and death are at stake, a certain is just a small thing, can An be a big gift for brothers?" ”
"Brother Gu should not be humble, the grace of the world is greater than the grace of parents, if Brother Gu can really ask about the applicable law, if you are reborn for us, you deserve this gift, who deserves it?" Someone said.
"After being captured, I have been worried that I will die inexplicably, now that I think about it, even if I die in that 'blood fusion ceremony', it is also a blessing to be able to meet Brother Gu and all of you!" Someone else said.
"Brother Gu, today's grace, if there is a day to repay each other in the future, my two brothers will be sent."
"Brother Gu......"
Everyone talked about it, mostly thanksgiving and beautiful words, which made Gu Han cry and laugh, but fortunately, Wei Xian spoke in time to appease them, and everyone gradually faded from their excitement, and sat cross-legged on the ground under the leadership of Gu Han, concentrating on adjusting their own state.
In a blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was dark.
During this period, the people of the group are at ease, and except for the necessary things that must be convenient, the rest of the time is not spent in meditation and pranayama.
After all, it is a matter of life and death, and no one dares to be careless.
As for Gu Han, he has been trying his best to recover from his injuries, but he has not achieved much success, he is still in a weak state, all he can do is to keep his mana full and full, and at the same time get rid of distracting thoughts in his heart, and wait for the start of the blood melting ritual with peace of mind.
At this moment, a clear and moving voice sounded directly in his ears:
"Little guy, in half an hour, the 'Blood Fusion Ceremony' will begin, you will suspend pranayama, and wait for the concubine to help you wash the marrow and remove the hair and purify the mana. Otherwise, if you die at the ceremony, it will be difficult for the concubine to explain to Wu Daoyou. ”
Gu Han opened his eyes and saw that Ruan Qin, who was sitting on the head of the snake, had already woken up, and in the dim light, a pair of already bright and clear eyes were like stars, looking at him with a smile.
Gu Han wanted to get up, but Ruan Qin's voice came again: "Little doll, you don't need to move, you are in good shape at the moment, it is time to swallow the 'Cold Blood Cleansing Pill', and then you just need to sink your mind and sense the mystery, and the concubine will be on the side to mention you." ”
After that, a red glow flashed in the sky, and a red pill the size of a grain of rice quietly hovered in front of Gu Han's eyes, Gu Han pinched it with his hand, only to feel a deep chill along his fingers directly into his viscera, and the whole person couldn't help but shudder, and his heart was even more curious about this little pill that was as bright as jade.
"Don't rub it, why don't you swallow it quickly?" Ruan Qin's voice was a little impatient.
When Gu Han heard this, he hurriedly threw the pill into his mouth and swallowed it, and at the same time ran the Hidden Dragon Heart Sutra, preparing to refine the medicinal power.
"This Dan is made from the thousand-year-old essence blood of this 'Blood Sea Cold Snake' under the concubine's seat, the medicinal properties are extremely cold, and it is most suitable for you martial arts cultivators to quench the root bones and refine the mana, little guy, remember to pay attention, because the main medicine is the essence and blood of the cold snake, which naturally contains a bit of fierceness. It's just that the medicinal power will be lost a few points, and it doesn't hurt. ”
Gu Han wanted to thank him, but it was inconvenient for him to speak at this time, and the medicinal power began to act on all parts of his body, and his whole body was immersed in the cold pool of ten thousand years, not only the skin and internal organs, but even the blood seemed to freeze and solidify, how could he have other thoughts, so he had to run the Hidden Dragon Heart Sutra over and over again, driving the mana to resist the cold.
At the beginning, the medicinal power was not very violent, but as time passed, Gu Han found that the medicinal power was like a gentle river, gushing out gently, but it was endless, without any intention of stopping.
In only half an hour, nearly half of the mana in his body was consumed, most of which was used to resist the erosion of cold qi, and a small half was used to refine the power of the elixir, but the medicinal power still frequently emerged from his body without the slightest decrease.
"No, now I don't have enough mana, I can only resist, I don't have much spare power to refine, and if I continue, I will definitely lose a lot of medicinal power!" Gu Han was slightly anxious.
