Chapter Forty-Three: A Fruitful Harvest
I don't know how long it took, Ling Zheng slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his body was full of fishy liquid, sticky, very uncomfortable.
And, after waking up, Ling Zheng instantly felt a sharp pain in his internal organs, as if he had been violently shaken, and after looking at his body, Ling Zheng found that there were many places in his body with bruises.
Although the injury was not light, Ling Zheng was also very happy. Since it is still alive, it means that most of the four-winged ghost centipede has died, and it seems that the flame bomb talisman that was thrown before losing consciousness has successfully achieved its effect.
He slowly rose from the left of the ground, seeing that it was still dark around him, and then took out a first-order fireball talisman from the storage ring and shot it.
Under the light of the fire, Ling Zheng saw at a glance the corpse of the four-winged ghost centipede that had been blown off its head not far away. What surprised him was that the Spirit Fire Monkey summoned with the Beast Spirit Array Stone was still behind the four-winged ghost centipede, but its body was much weaker, obviously due to excessive power consumption.
The back of the four-winged ghost centipede was bare, and it was obvious that the four winged wings had been torn off by the Spirit Fire Monkey.
This is most likely the fatal injury of the four-winged ghost centipede, you know, the vitality of the demon beast of the ghost centipede is not ordinarily strong, even if it blows up its head, as long as the inner dan is still there, it can slowly recover. However, if the wings are torn off, even if the Great Luo Immortal descends into the world, he will not be able to return to the sky.
Thanks to the Beast Spirit Array Stone, otherwise, Ling Zheng would definitely die in this dark cave and become the food in the belly of the four-winged ghost centipede.
After taking out the Beast Spirit Array Stone from the storage ring, Ling Zheng's mind moved, and the Spirit Fire Monkey turned into a red light and flew back into the array stone.
"Click!"
With a soft sound, there was an extra crack on the surface of the beast spirit array stone, which was expected to be caused by the consumption of power.
Now that the four-winged ghost centipede has died, there is probably no danger now, and Ling Zheng did not rush to get up, but sat down cross-legged and began to operate the smart technique to repair the injured body.
As the Spirit Technique ran over and over again, the non-attribute spiritual veins in Ling Zheng's body vibrated one after another, and with this vibration, the seven orifices of Ling Zheng's head also began to have purple-black blood overflowing.
After about a stick of incense, Ling Zheng felt that most of the blood in his body had gone, and he took out a second-grade healing pill called Complex Pill from the storage ring, opened his mouth and swallowed it.
His physique, which has no attribute spiritual veins, has a powerful ability to restore fù in itself. After the Compound Pill enters the body, its medicinal power doubles this ability to restore fù.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Ling Zheng's face was swollen and red, and he began to cough violently, and with each cough, blood would spurt out from his mouth and nose.
After another half of the incense time, Ling Zheng's face gradually returned to normal, and the external and internal injuries were already healed, so he stood up, threw out a fireball talisman again, and began to carefully inspect the surroundings.
The two scorpion-like strange feet on the head of the four-winged ghost centipede were completely blown away, Ling Zheng walked up to one of the strange feet, reached out and summoned the Dancing Wind Sword and the Ghost Demon Bead from the ground, and then held the Dancing Wind Sword and slashed the strange foot a few times, leaving no traces.
"Good stuff......"
Seeing that this thing was so hard, Ling Zheng immediately put it into his storage ring. This thing is a good material for refining, even if you don't need it, you can take it out in the future and exchange it for something that may be used.
In addition to these two strange feet, the two tentacles of the four-winged ghost centipede, which were as hard as steel thorns, could stretch and contract, and specialized in breaking the power of the body, were actually a rare alchemy material, and they were naturally included in the storage ring by Ling Zheng.
After that, Ling Zheng's eyes flashed, and he kicked a big stone away, picked up the dark green Neidan of the four-winged ghost centipede, and looked at it carefully.
This inner pill is the size of an egg, round and flawless, and it is warm to the touch. Even if Ling Zheng didn't need to probe with his spiritual sense, he could feel the powerful power contained in this inner pill, and a smile appeared on his face.
The value of the Inner Dan of the Foundation Realm Demon Beast is not low, although it is not as good as the crystal nucleus left by the Golden Pill Realm Red Flame Tiger that Zhao Yanran obtained before, but its use is much wider than that of the Red Flame Tiger Crystal Nucleus, and it can be regarded as a very rare thing.
As for the corpse of the four-winged ghost centipede, Ling Zheng searched carefully, and dug out two tentacles like steel thorns from the flesh and blood of its head, feeling that this thing was also a rare refining material, and directly threw it into the storage ring.
As for the remaining corpses, there is no value in salvage.
Ling Zheng was about to leave here and pick the Divine Blood Demon Lotus that grew at the end of the cave, but he felt that the black ancient mirror entrenched in the dantian once again emitted a burst of restlessness.
With a thought in his mind, he summoned the black ancient mirror, and was about to see what was wrong, but the black ancient mirror flew out of his hand directly, turned into a black light, and stuck to the corpse of the four-winged ghost centipede.
"Buzz!"
The trembling sound sounded one after another, and the corpse of the four-winged ghost centipede first trembled, and then released patches of dark green points of light, which were absorbed by the black ancient mirror.
After about a cup of tea had passed, the corpse of the four-winged ghost centipede had shrunk to the point that it was not in shape, and the black ancient mirror let out a buzz again, and then flew back into Ling Zheng's hands, no longer restless. It really looks like an ordinary broken mirror that is extremely broken, and it doesn't have the appearance of a magic weapon at all.
Ling Zheng walked over and kicked the four-winged ghost centipede, and with a soft pop, he directly kicked it into a piece of powder.
Ling Zheng stood in place and pondered for a while, feeling that the black ancient mirror image had sucked away the essence contained in the body of the four-winged ghost centipede, but why the black ancient mirror did this, Ling Zheng had no clue.
"How many secrets do you have......"
Ling Zheng looked at the broken black ancient mirror in his hand and muttered to himself, and then he put it into his body and walked along the passage of the cave towards the end.
After walking to the end of the cave, Ling Zheng looked at the Divine Blood Demon Lotus, recalling the content recorded in the "Pill Chronicles", first took out a jade box from the storage ring, and used the Dancing Wind Sword to cut the jade box into a jade knife, and then used this sharpened jade knife to gently cut off the Divine Blood Demon Lotus from the slightly thick lower part of the rhizome, and then sealed it in a gloomy wooden box.
Jade and wood are the most commonly used things by cultivators when preserving elixirs. These things may be a little rare in the mortal world, but in the cultivation realm, they belong to the stalls that can be found anywhere, and they are really not precious.
The purpose of Ling Zheng's trip was originally to find elixir seeds, so at the Yi Fu Conference of the Divine Rune Gate, he bought a lot of jade and wood artifacts by the way, and the sum of all the items was less than the price of a second-grade elixir.
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, otherwise, Ling Zheng could only look at this Divine Blood Demon Lotus, and he would not be able to take it away at all.
Ling Zheng raised his head and saw the bright moonlight shining above his head, knowing that it was already night. He first activated a few runes of the Water Flow Technique to clean the blood of the four-winged ghost centipede on his body, and then used three second-grade pills again to perform the Demon Thousand Transformation Technique with the Demon Bead, and he still turned into the appearance of the sword-wielding demon cultivator in the Red Pink Palace before.
After that, Ling Zheng flew up in the sky, and soon rushed out of the mountain, looking at the perfect bright moon in the sky, and then looked back at the deep cave, smiled, and felt his luck, but also with luck in the unlucky.
Unfortunately, because of curiosity, I accidentally broke into the cave inhabited by the four-winged ghost centipede, and was almost left behind by the four-winged ghost centipede. Fortunately, he actually used the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Condensation Realm to destroy a foundation building realm demon beast alive. If this had been put in the past, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
This battle not only made Ling Zheng truly understand the true meaning of blessing and misfortune, but also made Ling Zheng realize an extremely important truth.
The gap between the great realms is not difficult to bridge. As long as the means are sufficient, it is not impossible to destroy the enemy across the border. Now, Ling Zheng had already begun to believe that Zhao Yanran had told him that the eighteen swords of the Imperial Sword formed the Great Consummation of the Spirit Realm Great Perfection, and that he had retreated after cutting off the arm of the Foundation Building Realm cultivator.
Because of the fruitful battle with the four-winged ghost centipede, the previous worry in Ling Zheng's heart that he was always worried about being discovered and hunted down by the Demon Cultivators of the Red Pink Palace also faded a little.
After that, Ling Zheng planned to continue to go deep into the Hidden Dragon Stream, find a corner where no one and demon beasts appeared, hide his body and aura, and avoid the demon cultivators of the Red Pink Palace. Then, find another chance to get out of here.
As for whether the people from the Red Pink Palace can open the ancient monk's mausoleum in this hidden dragon stream, it is not for him to care.
Moreover, the white-haired spirit demon said before that if the Red Pink Palace opened the tomb of the ancient monk this time and brought out its burial goods, in the future, it would begin to purge all the cultivation forces in this Flying Spirit Domain, and complete the feat of the Red Pink Palace family dominating the Flying Spirit Domain.
Therefore, Ling Zheng had already made a decision, and after leaving the Hidden Dragon Stream, he would leave the Flying Spirit Domain immediately. Otherwise, once the Red Pink Palace began to clean up the Flying Spirit Domain's cultivation forces, his situation would become very passive.
Although he grew up in the Burning Fire Gate, he has no feelings for the impersonal sect at all. When I chose to leave, I didn't hesitate.
There is certainly a place for him on this vast continent.
So, Ling Zheng, who had made a long-term plan, continued to fly towards the depths of the Hidden Dragon Stream.
After flying cautiously for nearly two hours, the sky was getting brighter, and Ling Zheng was about to find a place to settle down and perform the Phantom Thousand Transformation Technique again, when he suddenly saw a blue light rising into the sky in a dense forest in the distance.
Immediately after, a very familiar figure flew towards Ling Zheng. The man had obviously seen Ling Zheng, and the speed of his flight in the sky slowed down suddenly.
No wonder it's familiar, because that person looks exactly the same as his own appearance that has changed now!
The person who appeared turned out to be the sword-wielding demon cultivator of the Pink Palace!
Ling Zheng didn't say a word, grabbed a large handful of first-order talismans from the storage ring, and smashed them into the man. Immediately after, all kinds of light exploded, and Ling Zheng took advantage of this opportunity to turn around and leave without any hesitation.
That person obviously had no intention of letting Ling Zheng go, and raised his hand to strike out with a palm, and the crimson light instantly engulfed all first-order spells. After Ling Zheng felt that familiar aura, his body slammed suddenly, and he was about to turn around, only to find that the person who looked the same as himself who had cast the Demon Thousand Transformation Technique had slapped his palm again.
The dark blue flame suddenly rose, and he was about to hit him, Ling Zheng had seen the power of the dark blue flame, and knew that it was not a joke, so he hurriedly said: "Senior Sister Yanran, don't do it, it's me!"
But as soon as the words came out, Ling Zheng realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and he wanted to slap his two big mouths.
The man was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his palm, frowned and asked, "You call me Senior Sister?"
The voice was cold and pleasant, and it was clearly Zhao Yanran's voice.
