Chapter 3: Tentacle Marks
Fang City also has a manager.
Soon after the monk's violent death, two mortal servants arrived and carried his body away, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed.
After watching the excitement, Su Xing picked another loose cultivation and carefully approached it: "Fellow Daoist, if you want to sell the life pill, sell it cheaply." β
Sanxiu was overjoyed when he heard this, but after looking at Su Xing's clothes, he said with a cautious face: "How did you sell it?" β
After all, it's the first business.
This time, Su Xing wanted to facilitate the transaction as soon as possible, so he quoted a lower price: "Four spirit stones." β
"Okay!"
Sanxiu only hesitated for a few seconds, then took out four spirit stones from a cloth bag: "Where's your thing?" β
"Here."
Su Xing took out the homemade life pill and completed the transaction with the other party.
Because he didn't know the details of Su Xing, the loose cultivation was fake for the anti-life medicine, so he simply swallowed it on the spot.
After a few seconds, he ripped open the clothes on his chest and said happily, "It's the real thing!" If you have it next time, remember to come back to me. β
It only cost four spirit stones to buy a life pill, which made the scattered cultivator feel very good.
He tried to find out Su Xing's details: "Dare to ask where Daoyou is?" β
This Su Xing didn't want to say more: "I don't have anything to say." β
"It's okay, I took the liberty of it." Sanxiu showed a kind smile on his face, and no longer continued to ask, but just left.
The market is full of people.
The transaction between Su Xing and Na Sanxiu was soon seen by the two inner disciples of the Danding Sect.
The two of them also seemed to have plans to buy life-saving medicine, so they came to Su Xing together, hugged their fists and said, "This fellow Daoist, do you still have that life-saving medicine?" β
Considering that the four spirit stones he had just earned were not enough to buy a real lifespan pill, Su Xing decided to sell one more.
He took out the life pill and raised the price slightly: "Five spirit stones, do you want one?" β
There are two ways for monks to verify the authenticity of life medicine.
One of them is to swallow it on the spot after buying it, and if the life expectancy increases, then there is naturally no problem.
For example, the casual practice just now.
However, this method is only suitable for safer locations such as Fang City.
So there's a second verification method....
Seeing Su Xing take out the life pill, the inner disciple took out a blood-red mirror from his arms and pointed the mirror towards the life pill.
Looking at the blood-red mirror in the other party's hand, Su Xing's eyes showed surprise.
This blood-red mirror is called the 'longevity mirror', and it is a magic weapon specially used to identify life pills.
The 'Shou Mirror' is expensive, but the effect is extremely weak, even the inner disciples of the Danding Sect are not willing to spend spare money to buy this thing.
Thinking of this, Su Xing immediately had a judgment in his heart:
Not surprisingly, these two people should have bought the longevity medicine for a certain elder in the sect, and the 'longevity mirror' was given by the elder in the sect.
After realizing this, Su Xing couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
In the world of cultivating immortals, although there are often monks who try to research the formula of the life pill, they have even become wanted criminals in the heavenly court because of this.
But there has never been a single person who can really imitate it successfully.
This is also the reason why Su Xing is flustered.
After all, he was only a Qi Stage cultivator, and he had only learned the knowledge of pharmacology for less than four months.
Compared with those immortal cultivators and alchemy masters, the only thing that makes Su Xing special is that he has mastered some chemical knowledge.
Therefore, he does not have much confidence in the imitation of life pills.
Can that thing really pass the test of the 'Shou Mirror'?
Fang market.
Su Xing stared at the 'Shou Mirror' in the other party's hand, and he was ready to run away immediately if something was wrong.
Meanwhile.
"Huh?"
The inner disciple holding the 'longevity mirror' sighed lightly and said to his companion: "Senior brother, the life pill in this mirror seems to be a little dark?" β
"It's a little bit." The senior brother stared at the 'Shou Mirror' and analyzed: "But this medicine should be real, after all, it did appear in the 'Shou Mirror'.... As for why it is black, I guess the heat is not well controlled, or the material is too much. β
This senior brother's brain replenishment ability is really strong.
The other party's words, Su Xing dispelled the idea of escaping, and said calmly: "Two, if there is no problem, I will leave?" β
"Okay."
The two did not question Su Xing and let him go.
Fang market.
Su Xing watched in the crowd for a while, and saw that the scattered cultivator who had just bought the life pill had not gone far, so he followed quietly.
He planned to observe whether there would be any adverse reactions after the person swallowed the life pill....
The other side.
After purchasing the life pill from Su Xing, the two inner disciples were all happy.
The junior brother said: "Senior brother, the two of us are lucky, we actually bought the medicine so early." β
The senior brother proposed: "Let's go, let's go back to the senior brother first, and then go to Chunfeng Tower to be happy." β
The junior brother showed a lewd smile: "Hehe, it's so good...."
β¦
Evening.
Near Fang City, in a forest.
Sanxiu Dashan was very lucky today, because he only spent four spirit stones to buy the life-saving medicine from a mysterious monk.
And it's still genuine.
In this way, he was equivalent to having one more spirit stone left.
In a happy mood, Dashan also deliberately bought a jar of good wine in the market, planning to take it back to enjoy it.
But Dashan hadn't walked a few steps before he suddenly felt a fever in his chest, and an inexplicable sense of worship arose from the bottom of his heart.
Wrong....
Dashan, who realizes that the situation is not right, wants to do something about it at this moment, but he doesn't know what to do.
He tried to calm himself down.
But as time passed, the sense of worship in Dashan's heart gradually became stronger.
He wanted to escape back to the gathering point of the scattered cultivators as soon as possible, but he felt that his hands and feet were no longer obedient, and he couldn't help but fall to his knees.
Kneeling on the ground, a figure appeared in his heart.
Although he couldn't name this person, he had a slight impression of his appearanceβbecause this person was the mysterious monk who sold him the life medicine today!
There's something wrong with that mysterious monk!
No.
Wrong....
For some reason, Dashan suddenly had an inexplicable thought in his heart.
Not only did he not think that there was anything wrong with the mysterious monk, but from the bottom of his heart, he felt that the other party was handsome and had the air of a king!
He wanted to saddle up for that mysterious monk!
Even if it's a dog!
After this thought was born, Dashan could no longer control himself, and knelt down in the direction of the city, and kept prostrating.
Meanwhile.
Su Xing, who was hiding behind a big tree, felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.
What exactly is this loose practice doing?
He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, could it have something to do with me selling him life medicine?
After kneeling on the ground and kowtowing devoutly for nearly ten minutes, he saw countless black mist slowly emerging from his body.
This is....
Shou ghost?
Seeing that black gas was constantly coming out of the surface of the scattered cultivator's body, Su Xing immediately thought of the scene he had seen in the Fang City during the day.
But what puzzled Su Xing was.
This time, he only saw the black gas, but did not see the red 'Shou Ghost' figure....
And that's not all.
Soon after the black mist appeared, it turned into black silk threads and quickly surged towards Su Xing's chest.
The speed of those black silk threads was too fast, and with Su Xing's current strength, he couldn't dodge it at all.
At this moment, Su Xing was really a little panicked.
He ripped open the clothes on his chest and found that the remaining lifespan of 'nine' had disappeared at this moment.
In its place, there was a hideous, blood-red tentacle.
Those black silk threads were constantly pouring towards the blood-red tentacles.
As more and more black lines poured towards the tentacles, the tip of the blood-colored tentacles was also stained with a little black.
This sudden change made Su Xing no longer have time to observe the scattered cultivation.
He sat cross-legged, activated the aura in his body, and checked his body for anything abnormal....
Maybe it's influenced by the black silk thread.
Su Xing found that the total amount of spiritual energy in his body was slightly more than before, and it seemed that he had the potential to break through to the fourth layer of qi training.
The changes in his body made Su Xing have a guess:
First of all, the longevity medicine he refined did have the effect of increasing longevity, but there were some strange side effects.
This medicine will cause the swallower to behave strangely.... For example, the one who was kneeling in the woods and prostrating his head constantly.
Secondly, the Life Pill can make the swallower emit black silk threads, and will burrow into Su Xing's chest on its own.
These black silk threads were not harmful to Su Xing, but would make him improve his cultivation a little.
Furthermore.
The black silk thread also eliminated the 'longevity mark' on Su Xing's chest, and replaced it with a blood-red tentacle.
As for what this tentacle does and what it portends, Su Xing can't guess.
In short, we can only take one step at a time to see one step at a time.
In the woods.
While Su Xing was checking his condition, the loose cultivator who was kneeling on the ground and constantly kowtowing had also returned to normal at this moment.
He looked around with a confused expression, as if he couldn't remember what had happened.
After a while, the Sanxiu hurriedly left the place with doubts.
Behind the big tree.
After making sure that there was nothing unusual about his body, Su Xing also left the woods in a hurry.
β¦
At the same time.
Danding Sect, the residence of the core disciples.
After the two inner disciples purchased the life pill, they immediately returned to the sect and went to the senior brother Li Aotian to recover their lives.
As soon as the two entered the room, they behaved extremely respectfully.
One of them presented the lifespan pill he had just bought, and said flatteringly: "Senior brother, this is the lifespan pill you want us to buy..."
Li Aotian is the son of the head of the Danding Sect, and his status is extremely noble.
It stands to reason that he doesn't need to ask someone to go to Fang City to buy life pills.... The life-saving medicine he received every month was simply not used up.
But Li Aotian regarded his life as his life, and there were several mortal maidservants in the house.
One of them is extremely outstanding, and he has reached the end of his life.
In order to renew the life of this woman, Li Aotian asked the two inner disciples to promise some benefits and let her go to the Fang Market to buy medicine.
in the house.
Li Aotian, who saw Life Pills, was overjoyed.
He patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a small bag of spirit stones, and threw it to the two: "These spirit stones, if there are more, they will be rewarded for you." β
After that, Li Aotian no longer paid attention to the two.
He turned to look inside the room, a girl in an unusually revealing red dress.
Although this woman is scantily dressed, because her appearance and temperament are extremely pure, it gives people a sense of sacrosanctity.
Li Aotian threw the life pill to the girl in the red dress and said lightly: "Eat this pill." β
