Chapter 421: Consuming Spirit Stones
Everyone understood this truth, so they didn't need to be urged by others, so they showed their abilities and kept attacking that formation. Of course, no one is a fool, it is impossible to break the formation, even don't want their lives, so when attacking, they all spare their hands a little, it seems that they have done their best, but in fact, they are just their general means, only after the formation is broken in the future, everyone rushes in together to grab the treasure, is it really the time to show their skills.
Qingyang has the same idea as everyone else, while breaking the formation, he must also preserve his strength and not put himself in a dangerous situation. At this time, it was impossible for him to use any dual-element sword technique or three-element sword technique, he just sacrificed a green bamboo sword and attacked the formation with others.
As the number of attacks increased, Qingyang could also feel that the power of the formation outside the secret passage had indeed decreased, but compared to the strength of the entire formation, this reduction was minimal. Qingyang estimates that according to everyone's current strength in breaking the formation, it will take at least half a month to completely break the formation outside the secret passage.
Now there are more than 200 people gathered outside the blood river, and after half a month, there will definitely be more trial disciples who have gathered, and when the time comes, hundreds of people will rush into the secret hall together, a scuffle and fight is inevitable, how easy is it to win a treasure in the chaos?
But if Qingyang is allowed to leave, he is a little unwilling, and no one will have too many treasures. It's rare to come across a Blood Demon Sect relic that has never been discovered, how can you easily miss it?
Most of the trial disciples present also had this idea, they might not have a chance if they came, but if they didn't come, they would definitely not have a chance, even if the number of treasures was very small, only a few of them could get it, but who would dare to guarantee that the one who got the treasure must not be himself?
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, because of the uninterrupted consumption of true qi, more than a dozen trial disciples in the deep pit gradually divided into high and low, the old sixth-layer qi refining cultivators, at this time, still have spare strength, the attacks are endless, and the cultivation is lower, at this time the true qi has been somewhat weak, and some people have even begun to swallow the elixir to restore this true qi.
Qingyang's situation is similar to everyone else, the Qingzhu Sword is just a high-grade magic weapon, compared to other people's top-grade magic weapons, even spiritual weapons, the consumption of true qi is very small. However, he suffers from a low level of cultivation, and the lowest cultivation of other disciples is also the fifth level of qi refining, although the consumption is large, but the base of true qi in his body is also large, and he is not afraid of the consumption of powerful magic weapons.
After half an hour, the true qi in Qingyang's body has been consumed more than eighty percent, if it is not replenished, there is a danger that the true qi will not be enough, not only will the attack of the Qingzhu Sword be interrupted, but even the true qi shield outside the body will be broken, thus losing the effect of avoiding water.
Qingyang had taken a pill to restore true qi before, but the effect was very average, and the amount recovered was simply not enough to replenish the amount consumed. Even if he continued to take the pill, as time went by, the true qi in his body would become less and less, and when an hour passed, Qingyang would be like those monks before, his true qi would be depleted and his shield would be unstable.
Qingyang didn't dare to put himself in danger, because there were still Wei Yufeng and others eyeing him, so he directly took out a spirit stone from the talisman and held it in his hand, and used the exercises to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone and use it to replenish the true qi consumed in his body.
Spirit stones have many functions, they can replenish true qi, improve cultivation, and provide energy for formations, etc., because of this, they will be used as currency by monks. However, although there are many effects, few monks directly use spirit stones to improve their cultivation and replenish their true qi, but use pills, not because the effect of pills is good, but because pills are cheap and more affordable.
The monks are all budget-conscious masters, and they worry about cultivation resources every day, how can they be so extravagant? Only those who do not lack spirit stones and do not take spirit stones seriously, or when they cannot use them at critical moments, will people directly use spirit stones.
Seeing Qingyang take out the spirit stone, the other trial disciples were not so surprised, they had not seen this situation before, Qingyang's cultivation was the lowest, the pill was not enough to restore the true qi, and it was normal to use the spirit stone. It's just that this behavior is too extravagant, and the consumption is also large, it seems that this kid is also fighting for the treasures in the secret hall.
Qingyang didn't care what others thought, he absorbed the aura in the spirit stone, and at the same time used his divine thoughts to control the Qingzhu Sword and continue to attack. In less than a stick of incense, the spiritual energy in that spirit stone was consumed, and the spirit stone turned into a useless stone chip powder, and the true qi in Qingyang's body did not decrease but increased, at least one percent more than just now.
If the consumption is counted, a spirit stone can replenish about 20% of the true qi in Qingyang's body, and a pill used by a qi refining cultivator to restore true qi, if the medicinal effect is fully effective, it can replenish almost 4 to 50% of the true qi, and the spirit stone is only half of the effect of the elixir.
Not only is there a difference in the efficacy of the medicine, but there is also a difference in price, a spirit stone can almost buy two of these pills, and the overall difference is almost four times. With such a big gap between spirit stones and pills, it's no wonder that everyone's first choice is to use pills.
The only advantage of spirit stones is the speed at which they can restore true qi, and when there is no need to pursue speed, almost no one will have the luxury of using spirit stones to restore true qi.
When a piece of spirit stone ran out, Qingyang casually threw away the discarded spirit stone powder, took out a piece from the talisman again, held it in his hand and began to absorb the spiritual energy inside.
This behavior made the people next to him look at him astonishingly, how long has it been, and he has already used two spirit stones, if he insists on holding on to the bottom of this river for an hour, wouldn't it be that the light spirit stones will consume more than a dozen pieces? The formation outside this secret hall will take at least half a month to break, even if it is once every two days, everyone will have to come down at least seven or eight times, and the spirit stones consumed will not reach seventy or eighty?
Seventy or eighty spirit stones, many Qi refining period disciples can't save so much for four or five years, and it's too extravagant to consume so many spirit stones just to break the array, right? Could it be that he is the descendant of Elder Jin Dan of which sect? But it doesn't look like it, if it is really a descendant of Elder Jindan, how can he not arrange a few followers? Could it be that this time I came to the Chaos Demon Valley just to temper?
No matter what you think in your heart, at least Qingyang has formed an understanding in the minds of others, don't look at this guy's cultivation, but it's not something that they can provoke casually, this guy either has a strong family background, or he has a lot of strength to rely on, otherwise he would never dare to consume spirit stones so much in front of everyone.
