Chapter 238: Keep going
The function of the quenching fruit is to temper the body and strengthen the muscle cells and tissues, but this strengthening process will produce a strong burning sensation and unbearable pain.
For Qianshan, he had suffered a lot of all kinds of flesh and skin before, but even so, the quenching fruit still brought him a lot of impact, especially when he took the first quenching fruit, it felt like throwing himself into boiling water, and he felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling.
However, as the first quenching fruit was successfully refined and absorbed, the effect that each subsequent quenching fruit could bring began to weaken.
After Qian Shan took six quenching body fruits in one go, he felt that it would not have much effect if he continued to take them, and he couldn't even feel the pain caused by the quenching body fruits, and his body was completely accustomed to this feeling.
The benefits brought by the quenching fruit are also obvious, and at this time, Qianshan can clearly feel that he has been further enhanced, and the power he has even feels a lot greater.
This kind of spiritual fruit that made him feel pain was used by Shao Anbai and the others, and the pain became more obvious.
When Shao Anbai absorbed one fruit, Qianshan was enough to refine and absorb six, and after Shao Anbai absorbed and refined, he dared to let Shao Lixing and Shao Xuanya use it, and the expressions of the two of them were extremely painful.
Shao Lixing, who had taken the quenching body fruit, had less than a minute to hold back his face and flush, gritting his teeth, roaring in his throat, and enduring the burning pain brought by the quenching body fruit.
In contrast, Shao Xuanya was even more painful and unbearable, his strength was the lowest, and at this time, after the Quenching Body Fruit had just entered it, he began to feel that he had swallowed a flame, and this flame quickly flowed to every corner of his body, and began to burn his flesh and blood frantically.
"Uh-"
Shao Xuanya's whole body began to tremble violently, his skin instantly turned red, and beads of sweat instantly soaked his whole body, and he was quickly evaporated by the heat emitted by the quenching fruit, and the steaming heat came out of his body.
At the entrance of the cave, Qianshan glanced back at Shao Lixing, then at Shao Xuanya, and then said: "You let Shao Xuanya take the Quenching Body Fruit like this, once he can't bear it, he will probably be burned by the Spirit Fruit." β
Shao Anbai waved his hand and said helplessly: "Cultivation is already full of dangers and hardships, if you don't endure hardships, how can you get a master, there is no hindrance, he can endure it." β
"Also, cultivation is against the sky, and if you want to gain more powerful power, pain is indispensable after all."
"Brother Qianshan, I'm curious about how you managed to eat six spirit fruits in such a short period of time? Don't you need to digest it, the body will absorb it directly? Shao Anbai never understood this.
He thought that although his strength was worse than that of Qianshan, there was a certain limit to the difference, and he knew very well how strong the effect of this spirit fruit was, and he still remembered the pain he had endured during the refining process just now, and it was indeed very difficult.
Qianshan chuckled: "Heh, my cultivation method pays a lot of attention to the tempering of the body, this kind of pain is not very difficult for me to bear, I have endured more painful tempering than this, and it is naturally faster to absorb and refine than you."
"So that's the case, so Brother Qianshan is a physical cultivator?"
Physical cultivation is a method that focuses on the cultivation of the individual body and focuses on strengthening the body.
"Sort of." Qianshan thought about it, and it seemed that the Immovable God King paid great attention to the cultivation of the body, and it should be possible to call it physical cultivation.
"So that's the case, no wonder Brother Qianshan absorbs this spiritual fruit so quickly, and the physical strength of physical cultivation is indeed not comparable to those of us who pay attention to the cultivation of exercises and swordsmanship." Shao An Bai responded.
Turning his head to look at his junior disciples and apprentices, they had just started at this time, and looking at this, it would take at least three or four hours to complete the absorption and refining of the spirit fruit.
As time passed, Qianshan sat quietly at the entrance of the cave and went out to cultivate, until a long exhalation sound came from inside, and then he opened his eyes and looked inside.
"Good stuff! I feel my strength has increased and my body seems to have become stronger! Shao Lixing looked radiant.
Shao Anbai smiled: "Hehe, it's indeed a good thing, but you should go out and clean up your body now." β
Only then did Shao Lixing react, and at this time, his body was densely covered with a layer of impurities, so he answered and came outside the cave to start cleaning up.
More than two hours passed slowly, and Shao Xuanya barely absorbed the quenching body fruit.
"Whew-"
Shao Xuanya breathed a long sigh of relief, opened her eyes, and smiled a little weakly: "Fortunately, it didn't fall short, the spirit fruit is really a good thing." β
Seeing that Shao Xuanya successfully refined and absorbed the spirit fruit, Shao Anbai also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so good, let's rest and tidy up." β
He turned his head to look at Qianshan at the entrance of the cave and said, "Brother Qianshan, should we repair for a while before moving forward?" Xuanya, this kid needs to recover. β
Qianshan answered, and continued to practice cross-legged.
In this way, the four of them stayed in place for more than a day as soon as they entered the ruins of this immortal mountain, and then continued to march in the direction of the stronger aura.
"We just came in and we were delayed for more than a day, so we can stay here for 31 days in total, right?" Qianshan asked.
Shao An Bai said: "Yes, but this is not a bad thing for us, generally the smaller sects, including us, will take the initiative to slow down after coming here, after all, it is not a good thing to meet people from other sects here." β
"Yes."
Among cultivators, strength is respected, and in such ruins, once encountered, it is not uncommon to kill people and sell goods, and it is normal for smaller sects to choose to retreat.
If there is a treasure, you have to have a life to enjoy it, and if your life is gone, it won't help you to give you an artifact.
After going all the way, after climbing two mountains, we came to a huge canyon, which was flanked by countless small peaks, and there was no road to follow, and if you continued in this direction, you had to pass through this canyon.
Qianshan took out the binoculars, observed in the canyon, and said: "Right front, about 300 meters, a spirit beast, left front, about 600 meters, a giant snake, continue to move forward, three thousand meters, a white mist with a diameter of more than 100 meters appeared, and after the fog, nothing abnormal was found." β
"Don't say it, it's a wise move for Brother Qianshan to come over in protective clothing, and there are telescopes!" Shao Lixing said with a smile.
"Hey, it's a pity, we can't use it, once we wear protective clothing, we can't use the sword technique, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." Shao Anbai said helplessly, then looked at Qianshan and asked, "A cloud of white mist?" β
"That's right, a white mist." Qianshan handed the telescope to Shao Anbai, and then pointed in one direction: "Over there." β
Shao Anbai picked up the telescope and looked over there, and after a while, he put down the telescope and gave it back to Qianshan, licking the corner of his mouth: "Treasure!" β
Qianshan wondered: "Is it in the white mist?" β
"That's right." Shao Anbai nodded.
Shao Xuanya said with a smile: "The first time the predecessors came, they may not have seen it yet, the white mist is likely to be a kind of maze or trap, and their appearance often means that there are all kinds of treasures inside, as long as you find a way to break through the fog and deal with the danger, then you can get the treasures in the mist." β
"Oh, I see, if you say that, there should also be treasures in the place where the spirit beast and the giant snake are entrenched in the distance?" Qianshan asked.
"Not necessarily, some are just simple spirit beasts, but they will also guard the edge of certain things, and once people get close, they will attack." Shao Lixing said.
"Okay, let's deal with that spirit beast first, it doesn't look very big, you guys are here, I'll go over and lure it over, and then besiege and kill it."
Qianshan stretched out his hand and fiddled twice on the sleeve arrow, then jumped down the hill and walked towards the location of the spirit beast.
Shao Anbai responded: "Okay, Brother Qianshan, be careful!" β
Qianshan waved his hand and quickly approached the location of the spirit beast.
I used to stand on the hillside and observe the things in the canyon, and I could see it clearly, but after coming down, the terrain was undulating violently, and although there were not many plants, it also affected the sight very much, and I couldn't see the spirit beast from afar.
As the distance from the spirit beast got closer and closer, the speed of Qianshan also slowed down.
After a short time, Qianshan climbed up to the top of a big tree, and looked at the location of the spirit beast from a distance from the top of the big tree, just enough to see its head.
This is a spirit beast that looks like a lion, and its body shape looks like it is larger than an ordinary lion, not particularly big, and it shouldn't be a powerful spirit beast.
After observing for a moment, Qianshan raised his left hand, aimed at the target, and mutteredβ
Several sleeve arrows shot directly at the spirit beast, and the spirit beast that was lying on the ground suddenly raised its head and waved its claws, instantly slapping several sleeve arrows away, and then let out a roar, and jumped out with a bang.
The sharp gaze swept around, and soon found a thousand mountains a hundred meters away, and after another roar, he quickly ran towards the thousand mountains.
Qianshan fired a few more Hidden Arrows at it, turned over and jumped off the tree, and began to retreat.
Similar to what he expected, the strength of the spirit beast was not strong, and compared to the first time he saw the spirit beast leopard, it was far worse than the leopard.
Not long after, Qianshan took this spirit beast back to the area where Shao Anbai was, and then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the spirit beast, and with a flick of the bone knife in his hand, he slashed towards the spirit beast with a knife shadow.
Shao Anbai and the three of them were also Fei Fei Sacrifice Take-off Sword, and the three flying swords instantly shot towards the spirit beast.
The spirit beast also felt the danger at this time and wanted to run, but Qianshan's knife had already reached its face, so it could only slap it with one paw.
Brush! With a knife past, a long opening was directly made on the front leg of the spirit beast, and then three flying swords stabbed into the spirit beast's body one after another, and a wail came out of the spirit beast's mouth.
Faced with such a spirit beast, the four of them didn't have much effort to kill it at all.
Shao An made a move with his white hand, the flying sword was withdrawn, and he stepped forward quickly.
Glancing at the spirit beast that had fallen to the ground, he spoke: "This spirit beast fur is a good material, but unfortunately, if you carry such a heavy thing, then at least one person has to stay here." β
"Yes, it's too big, otherwise if you take it out, you will definitely be able to make good soft armor."
Qianshan was embarrassed: "Let's go, go and see if there are any good things in the place where the spirit beast is staying." β
After a while, the four of them came to the place where the spirit beast was staying before, and sure enough, they found something here.
Qianshan stepped forward to take a look, this turned out to be a small pile of spirit stones, and there was an origin spirit stone hidden in this pile of spirit stones, his eyes lit up, he reached out and picked up the origin spirit stone, pretended to pinch it in his hand, and turned back to Shao Anbai and the three of them: "It's a spirit stone, take a little spare, just a dozen." β
Sure enough, Shao Anbai couldn't distinguish the existence of the origin stone at all, he just saw that the spirit stone was a little excited, and only after hearing Qianshan's mouth did he dare to step forward to obtain it.
There are only a few in total, and Shao Xuanya only got two.
"Brother Qianshan, don't you take more?" Shao Anbai still had five or six spirit stones in his hand.
Qianshan shook his head: "You guys take a spare, I'll just take one, you just need to protect yourself." β
"Thank you very much." Shao An Bai was overjoyed and hurriedly put away the spirit stone.
Although the spirit stone is not a very precious thing, and even if you have money, you can buy it on Parallel Island, but this price is really very expensive, and it is generally used by a small sect like the Imperial Sword Sect, and it is only used for emergency use, and it is impossible to use it for cultivation at all.
Moving on, Qianshan lured the giant serpent out again.
Although the snake is very large, compared to the gold and silver pythons encountered before, this is simply a small drop in the shadow and is not worth mentioning.
However, this giant snake also has a gold and silver giant snake does not have, it is poisonous, and it is a very domineering venom, even if it is sprayed on trees and stones, it will cause serious instantaneous corrosion.
However, Qianshan was wearing the top protective clothing, and he was not afraid of this thing, and the three of Shao Anbai used flying swords, so it didn't take much time to kill this giant snake.
The snake contains severe poison, and Shao Anbai and the three of them were reluctant to approach, for fear of being poisoned on the spot, so they followed Qianshan quickly to the place where the giant snake was entrenched.
Here, a strange plant grew crookedly, and there were two cherry-like fruits on it that looked like they wanted to use jade to carve out, and Qian Shan couldn't identify what this thing was after searching the knowledge he had, so he could only turn his head to look at Shao Anbai.
"Do you know what this thing is? I don't recognize it. Qianshan asked.
Shao Anbai looked up and down carefully, and shook his head directly: "I don't know, but it looks like it should also belong to the treasure level of heaven and earth, right?" β
Qianshan shook his head: "This is not necessarily. β
"Senior, if you want me to see it, take it away directly, it's a waste to keep good things here, and think about it slowly after you go out." Shao Xuanya proposed.
"Take it away?" Qianshan smiled dumbly: "Since you don't understand, then don't take it with you at will, if there is poison, you will die if you touch it, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?" β
"Haha, this is easy to do, wait for me." Shao Lixing turned around and ran out.
