Chapter 17: Cultivation in the Tree Cave
When Gao Ping was capturing the remnant soul, he found a towering giant tree with a natural tree hole on it, with a small entrance, but the space inside was very large, which could just be used as a hiding place for himself at night.
He found the giant tree according to his memory, climbed up, and entered the hollow of the tree, which had about a dozen square meters of space.
Just in case, he also broke off several thick branches and stuffed them in the doorway.
Directly blocked the tree hole.
The tree hole was pitch black, and because of the Ice Spirit Divine Pupil, it didn't affect him in the slightest.
He sat cross-legged and took out the brocade box where the pill was placed.
Now that I have enough remnant souls on my side, I can just take advantage of this opportunity to break through.
He took the Void Pill, and instantly felt a stream of heat surging through his body.
He channeled this heat into the soul vein.
The combination of soul power and the medicinal power of the elixir twisted into a huge and complex energy, and this energy became extremely violent at this time, rushing left and right.
Countless cracks appeared in the two soul veins.
He felt that he was about to break through, but he was still almost on fire, so he simply ate the other Void Pill, and the energy was even more intense and violent.
Open the jade essence bottle, directly absorb the remnant souls one by one, run the giant breathing method, and begin to decompose and digest.
Streams of energy poured into the soul veins.
"Boom!" A soul vein exploded directly.
"Boom!" Another soul vein exploded.
After the two soul veins exploded, the two huge energy strands wrapped in the soul veins continued to expand like wild horses that had escaped, turning into three tubular energy clusters more than ten meters wide.
"Could it be that this is the transformation of the soul vein? I didn't expect it to become so big all of a sudden. ”
Although Gao Ping was now extremely weak due to the collapse of his soul vein, he was still pleasantly surprised.
"I've finally made it!"
However, before he could be happy, he found that the energy of these three soul veins began to become virtual, showing signs of collapse and contraction.
He had experience in refining Xuan Runes and knew that this was a sign of lack of energy.
He hurriedly extracted a large number of remnant souls from the jade essence bottle, and the Ice Spirit Divine Pupil continued to absorb it, and the giant breathing method dissolved.
Streams of pure soul power were injected into these three newly formed soul veins.
The energy of the soul veins no longer overflowed, and the signs of collapse and contraction disappeared.
He continued to absorb and consolidate these three soul veins.
He didn't stop until almost all the energy in these three soul veins had materialized.
Feeling the surging energy in the three soul veins, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, the remnant soul in his jade essence bottle was only more than two hundred meters left.
Gao Ping thought to himself: "The transformation of this soul vein into reality really consumes remnant souls, if it weren't for the fact that I went to this soul mound to prepare this batch of remnant souls in advance, I would almost die." ”
In fact, it would take dozens of meters of remnant souls for ordinary people's soul veins to turn into reality, and the soul veins formed were only one meter wide.
However, Gao Ping's cultivation of the Giant Breathing Method to refine the muscles and veins, breaking through the bottleneck of the second layer of the soul refining period, the soul veins turned into virtual and reached a width of more than ten meters, far exceeding that of ordinary soul refining stage cultivators.
At this time, the innate qi stored in Gao Ping's divine veins was constantly repairing the broken tendons and veins when he broke through.
If the soul veins of an ordinary soul refining stage cultivator turn into reality, even if they take the pill, they will have to cultivate for at least half a month.
But in less than half an hour of Gao Ping, the broken tendons and veins were completely repaired by the innate gas.
At this moment, Gao Ping heard what seemed to be the sound of ten thousand beasts galloping outside.
He knew that the beast tide had come.
Fearful, these beasts ran to the edge of the Black Forest.
Gao Ping held his breath and hid in the hollow of the tree.
The last time in the fighting arena, there was a human-beast battle, and a fierce beast almost killed itself.
If this comes so much at once, even though he is now in the third layer of the soul refining stage, he can't stand it.
An hour later, the sound of the beast running was gone.
"It seems that the beast tide has passed." Gao Ping said secretly in his heart.
He took out the talisman paper and talisman pen, intending to redraw a few Thousand Miles of Ice Talismans.
As long as you succeed in one and understand the technique of drawing the Xuan Fu, you will be familiar with it later.
After two failures, he finally succeeded in drawing a Thousand Miles Ice Seal.
He poured soul power into the talisman.
The last time he refined the talisman, he almost consumed all of his soul power, but this time he consumed less than 10%.
He was overjoyed in his heart, and it seemed that it was indeed a qualitative breakthrough from the second to the third floor.
In the following time, he successfully refined three more Thousand Miles Ice Sealing Talisman.
A total of almost 20% of soul power was consumed.
He absorbed all the remaining remnant souls in the jade essence bottle, and the soul power in his body was basically recovered.
At this moment, a morning light came through the gap in the tree hole.
Daylight has finally arrived.
Gao Ping walked out of the tree hole, and in the quiet morning, it was as if last night's beast tide had never happened.
Gao Ping returned to the agreed place again and found that several of them were already waiting there.
Gao Ping glanced at it and asked, "What about Brother Gao Cripple?" ”
Boss Qiu sighed and said, "He...... He was tragically killed in the beast tide last night, and we only found a few of his bones this morning. ”
"It's not easy to survive in the underground world, maybe one day I'll be hung up with one eye." One-Eyed also let out a long sigh.
"Alright, let's take advantage of the good daylight to collect the remnant souls, and in four hours, we will gather here again." Boss Qiu said.
Gao Ping was like a wild horse on the loose, the Ice Spirit Divine Pupil was running, and he climbed a giant tree and began to collect remnant souls.
Gao Ping collects while absorbing.
Soon, the remnants of the Black Forest were basically collected by him.
When he returned to the gathering point, he had collected more than 2,000 meters of remnant souls in his jade essence bottle again.
"It's really evil, this time the harvest is less than last time." The skinny monkey complained.
"I've received less than a meter of remnants." One-eyed had a bitter face.
"I collect about 5 meters." Boss Qiu said.
The thin monkey looked at Gao Ping with gloomy eyes at this time: "I saw that you collected a large number of remnant souls on a big tree, don't tell me that you have nothing to gain." ”
"I collected some, and it was my own." Gao Ping pushed back directly.
"You-" The skinny monkey was furious, trying to rush over and beat him up and snatch the remnant soul.
"Thin Monkey," Boss Qiu stopped with a sharp voice, "No matter how much he collects, that's someone else's ability, do you still want to kill people and seize treasures?" ”
The thin monkey forcibly suppressed his anger and glared at Gao Ping fiercely.
"Boss, what should I do now, I can't go back empty-handed like this, right?" One-Eyed asked pitifully.
The thin monkey said directly: "Boss, if you want me to say, we still go deep into the interior of the Black Forest, and there must be good gains in it." ”
"No, it's too dangerous." Boss Qiu refused.
"Wealth and danger are sought, how to get more resources without taking risks, how to become strong without obtaining more resources, and if you don't become strong, this underground world of cannibalism will end sooner or later." A fierce needle gleam flashed in the thin monkey's eyes.
Boss Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's vote, I don't agree." ”
"I agree!" The thin monkey said resolutely.
"I ...... I abstain. One-Eyed whispered.
The thin monkey thought that he would get the support of One-Eyed, but he didn't expect the other party to abstain directly.
At this time, the three of them looked at Gao Ping at the same time.
To advance or not to advance, only between Gao Ping's thoughts.
It is said that Gao Ping has now successfully realized the transformation of the soul vein into reality, and has collected so many remnant souls, he can return with a full load.
But his answer was, "I agree." ”
"Hahahaha," the thin monkey laughed, "boy, this time you let the monkey master look up to you." ”
Boss Qiu also sighed and said, "In that case, let's go in, but the depths of the Black Forest are extremely dangerous, and the four of us can't be separated." ”
