Chapter 13: The Bottomless Pit
After a long time, Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin withdrew their palms, and their faces were a little ugly.
They used their spiritual power to swim in Nie Kong's body several times, and finally vaguely felt a strange power in the gap between his "three spiritual senses". It's just that no matter how hard they try, it's hard to really get to the bottom of that hidden power, let alone figure out where it came from. Obviously it was there, but it couldn't be touched or touched, this feeling was very weird, which made Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin frown.
From the fact that their spiritual power had been roaming around the cave for the longest time, Nie Kong knew that the two masters had sensed the dark green blood that had been confined in the Yaochi cave by themselves.
The power in that blood has always been dormant, but it has never gone away. It was like a bomb buried in Nie Kong's body, and once something happened, it was likely to explode in a more violent way, knocking him back to his original form, and even losing his life.
Nie Kong never figured out what it was. Now that they have been discovered by Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin, maybe they can really have some ideas.
As for the little tender seedlings floating in the Yaochi Cave, Nie Kong was not worried at all, as far as it was concerned, this little guy did not show any strength, not even any breath, except for Nie Kong, the owner who inherited the ancestral theory of the Nine Great Hidden Points, it was impossible for outsiders to detect its existence. Even if it showed some flaws, it could be covered up by that strange cloud of dark green blood.
"Nie Kong......"
Nie Xingyun pondered for a moment, his expression showed a rare seriousness, he looked at Lian Tianxin, who was also full of solemnity, and said, "Do you know where that power came from?"
Nie Kong said: "Master, it seems that you were born with it." It was because of its existence that I was riddled with illness, and I stayed at the Gathering Spirit Grade for ten years. Some time ago, somehow, it suddenly retracted between the three spiritual and divine orifices, and only then did it remove the obstacle to my cultivation, and my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. It's just that it's not restless, and it needs to be suppressed with constant medicinal force, so it will continue to shrink there and not come out to make trouble. ”
Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin exchanged glances, and they both felt quite tricky.
If you can touch that power, maybe you can find a way to get it out, but now you can't even touch it, so how can you get rid of it?
As for Nie Kong's explanation, they were convinced.
Nie Kong has been ill for eighteen years and has made no progress in cultivation for ten years, and now everyone in the Nie family knows about it, and Nie Kong stuffed medicinal herbs into his mouth whenever he saw the opportunity during this time, which the two of them saw with their own eyes. Many of the herbs that were eaten by Nie Kong were used to refine third- and fourth-grade elixirs, and there were even a few that could be used to refine fifth-grade elixirs, which made them feel painful for a while. A psychic suddenly ingested so many herbs in a row, and the strong medicinal power was likely to damage the three spiritual senses, but Nie Kong didn't do anything at all.
The questions that once puzzled Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin were all answered because of the existence of the strange power in the acupuncture points.
Lian Tianxin said in a harmonious voice: "Apprentice, don't worry too much. Your condition, the master will discuss it with Nie Lao Wu. As for the issue of medicinal herbs, don't worry about it, you can eat as many herbs as you can in this secret room, of course, those medicinal herbs that refine five or six grades of elixir have to be kept for the Nie family. ”
Nie Xingyun scolded a little angrily: "This is really your child, you didn't tell us about such an important matter earlier, should you still treat us as your master?"
In the previous words, Lian Tianxin nodded again and again, but as soon as Nie Xingyun's last sentence came out, Lian Tianxin became anxious: "Nie Lao Wu, it seems that you were distressed at the time, right? Blowing your nose and glaring at your eyes? The old man is not so stingy, and he can't even give up a few herbs for refining the five-grade elixir!"
"Oh, who was so angry that he didn't eat all day......
“......”
For the Nie family's elixir masters, medicines such as Xiangsi glazed root and ice tray water have always been sought-after. Medicines that may refine more than three grades of elixir must be rationed according to the situation. Just like Nie Kong, with his current cultivation, if it weren't for the disciples of the two fifth-grade elixir masters, he wouldn't have been able to enter this secret room at all, and he wouldn't have been able to touch so many precious herbs, let alone eat them in his stomach.
Seeing that Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin were arguing again, his face was red and his neck was thick, and Nie Kong was a little ashamed while grateful.
Originally, he just wanted to rub a few herbs in this secret room, and by the way, he would test it again to see if they could agree to take out some of the elixir he would refine in the future and go outside to exchange for herbs. After all, the family has family rules, and it costs a lot to train an elixir master, if the elixir master relies on the strength of the family to become a talent, he will sell the refined elixir instead of supplying it to the family, which is somewhat unkind.
However, what Nie Kong didn't expect was that without waiting for him to say those tentative words, the two masters would supply most of the medicinal herbs in this secret room to themselves, and even the Nie family's fourth-grade elixir masters had never received such treatment.
In the future, let's help the Nie family refine some elixir as compensation!
......
It didn't take long for Nie Kong to leave the secret room with the medicine tripod and enough medicine to refine fifty "Zili Pills", and together with Nie Kong's resistance, there was also a large bag of herbs used to refine the third and fourth grade elixirs, and roughly estimated, the bag was at least fifty catties.
As soon as Nie Kong's figure disappeared, Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin, who were originally like fighting cocks, both sighed and sat down. Nie Xingyun smiled bitterly: "This little guy, fifty catties of herbs, actually said that he could make do with it for half a month." Even if it's rice, a person can't eat fifty catties in half a month. ”
Lian Tianxin sighed: "Yes, are they really all Heavenly Jealous Talents? An elixir master with such excellent qualifications has such a big hidden danger hidden in his body. If he hadn't said it, he wouldn't have even seen it from our two old guys, and would have thought that his illness would have been completely eradicated!"
"You have to think of a cure for him. Nie Xingyun said worriedly, "The little guy is only able to cultivate spiritually, so he needs so many medicinal herbs, if he reaches the spirit fusion, I am afraid that he will have to have a large number of 'Biluo Flowers', a kind of herb that can refine the four-grade elixir, to suppress the condition." If you reach the spirit transformation, it is estimated that you will have to use a herb of the level of 'Electric Light Vine' to be effective...... If his cultivation is elevated to the level of the Imperial Spirit, then ......"
In the end, Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin were dumbfounded, this little guy was simply a bottomless pit, the higher his cultivation, the more precious the herbs he needed. Not to mention the Void Spirit and Dan Spirit in the back, even if Nie Kong only grows to the Imperial Spirit, it is estimated that the entire Nie family will not be able to supply him.
It is obviously unrealistic and impossible to support one person with the full strength of the family. Maybe when Nie Kong reaches the realm of soul fusion, he will have to be self-reliant.
After being stunned for a long time, Lian Tianxin swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said: "It's a big deal, when the time comes, tell the patriarch and the elders, even if our two old guys work hard to refine the five-grade elixir and go outside to exchange for medicinal herbs, we can't let this little guy have an accident, he is our only apprentice!"
After a pause, Lian Tianxin said speechlessly: "Nie Lao Wu, you said that you are all void spirits, why can't you find a way to improve the fusion degree of your medicinal power? Other void spirit masters can basically refine six-grade elixirs, or even seven-grade elixirs, you are good, or five-grade, and the degree of integration is so low, even the apprentices are much stronger than you." In the future, if you tell others that you are Master Nie Kong, who will believe this?"
"Do you think the old man doesn't want to become a six-grade elixir master?" Nie Xingyun's cheeks were hot, and he roared a little annoyed, and as soon as he mentioned this, he was extremely depressed......
