Chapter 59: The Ginseng Fruit Tree
Under the instigation of the city lord of the Black City, the monks and celestials present were ready to move again.
Seeing this scene, Su Xing said with a strange expression: "Hao Qiu Yi, your 'Sealing Spirit Scatter' can only seal spells, so what's the use of it?" ”
"What do you mean?" The city lord of the Black City was stunned when he heard this, and he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"You may have some misunderstanding."
In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
While Su Xing was speaking, his entire body had gradually become translucent.
He held the Qingxiao Sword in his hand and looked around with an extremely arrogant gaze: "Actually, many of my abilities cannot be regarded as spells. ”
Su Xing's 'transformation' is too weird, even Lei Yunzi, a monk in the late stage of foundation building, is unwilling to shake its edge.
in the hall.
Wherever Su Xing's eyes went, all the monks and celestials lowered their heads, for fear that they would become the first target after being targeted by Su Xing.
"How is that possible?"
Seeing that Su Xing was still able to use that incomparably strange 'transformation' ability, the Black City City Lord's eyes showed an unbelievable look.
The 'Feng Ling San' he mixed into Su Xing's liquor was a poison that had been passed down from generation to generation in his family and was specifically used against monks.
This medicine does not contain any toxicity, and its effect is to seal all the spiritual veins in the monk's body, so that his spiritual power cannot function normally.
And it is well known.
The more non-toxic the drug, the more difficult it is for ordinary people to distinguish when taking it.
It is precisely because of its non-toxic properties that this 'Sealing Soul Powder' makes the monks unable to guard against it.
Relying on this 'Sealing Spirit Scatter', the city lord of the Black City has died countless foundation-building monks, many of whom are extremely talented.
But what he didn't expect was that this 'Feng Lingsan', which had always been invincible, actually failed when dealing with Su Xing!
The Black City City Lord was a little unacceptable for a while, he looked at Su Xing, and said with a desperate expression: "What kind of ability are you?" ”
"Guess...."
Seeing the bitter face of the city lord of Heicheng, Su Xing became fearless.
He asked, "What will happen if you fail to kill me as the Heavenly Court commands?" Will the immortals in the realm be killed? ”
"Not really, but it's no different from being killed." The Black City Lord replied helplessly: "Once they fail to complete the Heavenly Court's entrustment, they will cut off the supply of life-saving medicine, and without life-saving medicine, we people will not live long at all." ”
The answer of the Black City City Lord reminded Su Xing of the fate of the heads of the three sects of Lingzhou.
He asked: "Without the life pill, you can just run away, why do you have to stay in this black city all the time?" ”
"Run? How to escape? ”
The Black City City Lord smiled bitterly: "This desert surface is full of dragon sand scrolls, even if it is a foundation building period monk, only thirty percent of them are sure that they can cross the desert. ”
Su Xing asked the city lord of Heicheng, seemingly for the sake of everyone, but in fact he was looking for a way out for himself.
Since ancient times, there have only been a thousand days to catch thieves, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.
Because of the existence of the Heavenly Court's wanted warrant, this black city Su Xing can't stay for a long time, and it is too dangerous to walk out of this desert directly.
Although Su Xing has the ability to 'transform' and can save his life after encountering the dragon sand roll, he will be taken to an unknown location with the dragon sand roll.
This unknown place, if it's all like this, it's okay to say.
But if you go to barren land, or an area where strange things are rampant, then whether you can survive really depends on luck.
Therefore, it is not wise to leave the desert surface.
It is better to get out of the desert by other means.
The other side.
Hearing the conversation between Su Xing and the city lord of Heicheng, Lei Yunzi suddenly said, "Actually, it's not that there is no way to leave this desert. ”
"What else can be done?" Su Xing asked.
Before Lei Yunzi could answer, the city lord of Heicheng took over and said, "The method that Lei Yunzi Daoist said refers to the ginseng fruit tree in the desert, right?" ”
Ginseng fruit tree?
Su Xing was stunned when he heard this, and immediately thought of the plot in "Journey to the West" again.
First the monkey underground, and then the ginseng fruit tree, should he really have traveled to the world of Journey to the West?
But the question is, what does the ginseng fruit tree have to do with leaving the desert?
Su Xing was puzzled: "The ginseng fruit tree you are talking about, is it a divine object that will bear fruit for decades, and after eating it, it will be able to live with heaven and earth?" ”
"I don't know where you heard that." The Black City City Lord smiled bitterly: "How can there be such a fruit in this world.
He began to explain to Su Xing: "I wonder if Su Daoyou has ever heard of a forest with a single tree? ”
"Of course I've heard that."
Su Xing asked rhetorically: "What, is that ginseng fruit tree self-contained and grown into an oasis directly on the desert?" ”
"No, it's not just an oasis."
The Black City City Lord shook his head and said, "To be precise, that human fruit tree has become a self-contained tree, directly forming another world on the desert. ”
It is different from the 'ginseng fruit tree' in the Journey to the West world in Su Xing's cognition.
The ginseng fruit trees in this world are extremely large, with trunks thousands of meters high and hundreds of meters in diameter.
The tree is not afraid of fire, water, spells, swords, or any other external attack.
Besides.
The most amazing thing is that on the branches of this tree, there are countless 'ginseng fruits', which have the effect of prolonging human life.
Ginseng fruit can prolong life, which is somewhat similar to the plot in "Journey to the West".
Hearing this, Su Xing asked, "So, you plan to take the risk of going to that tree to pick the 'ginseng fruit', and then use those fruits instead of life pills?" ”
"Su Daoyou misunderstood."
Lei Yunzi explains: "The ginseng fruit is not really a fruit, but a house-sized house with the shape of a fruit. ”
After Lei Yunzi's narration, Su Xingfang knew:
Although ginseng fruit does have the effect of prolonging life, it is not that eating the fruit can prolong the lifespan, but that you have to live in it.
People who live inside the ginseng fruit can greatly delay the reduction of their life expectancy.
The older the person, the weaker the delaying effect.
The higher its cultivation, the stronger the delay effect.
When the occupants are young and high-level, not only will they not consume their lifespan after moving in, but they can even increase their lifespan slowly.
This characteristic is similar to that of life medicine.
It is precisely because the ginseng fruit can prolong the lifespan that over time, a huge human city has been formed on this fruit tree.
A city built on a ginseng fruit tree.
"Ahh
When he said this, the black city lord sighed: "This is also a desperate choice, although the ginseng fruit tree can also prolong life, but in the end it is someone else's territory, far less comfortable than this black city.... I would not go to the tree unless I had to. ”
The 'last resort' in the mouth of the city lord of Heicheng refers to the failure to kill Su Xing.
And after listening to the words of the Black City City Lord and Lei Yunzi, Su Xing also generally understood the situation on the ginseng fruit tree.
He guessed: "Listening to your description, the fruit on the ginseng fruit tree should not be qualified for everyone to live, right?" ”
"Of course."
The city lord of the Black City replied: "The low-level monks must not be able to afford those ginseng fruits, they can only spend some spirit stones to rent.... Mortals, who were inferior to the low-level monks, could only sleep on tree trunks, branches and leaves, and they were not even qualified to rent. ”
The implication of the Black City City Lord's words is that a person in a high position like him, even if he goes to the ginseng fruit tree, he can still afford to buy the fruit, and he lives a very comfortable life.
"It's not much like I expected." After listening to what the city lord of Heicheng said, Su Xing was completely relieved.
He didn't care who could afford to live in the tree.
Su Xing's only concern was whether he could continue to sell life pills after going to the ginseng fruit tree.
As long as he can sell life pills, he can continue to collect 'black silk threads' and improve his cultivation, so that his lifespan can be extended.
