Chapter 27: Suppressing one's own body
It's too late, it's too soon.
The goshawk was wrapped in a whistling wind from high in the sky, and when it saw Ling Xiang "dodging" downward, it instinctively accelerated and pounced.
Sou!
At the moment when he approached the colorless spider web, Ling Xiang used his divine power, turning into a dark shadow in an instant, translating a few zhang horizontally.
Unable to dodge, the goshawk crashed headlong into the cobweb, which was made up of fine silver filaments.
Sensing that something was wrong, it let out a high-pitched eagle cry.
"Wow!!"
The fine silver filaments are not only strong sticky, but also amazingly tough.
The moment the goshawk caught it, it was firmly entangled in those sharp talons, and no matter how frantically the flat-haired beast struggled, it would be useless.
On the contrary, the more he struggles, the tighter he wraps up.
"Wow, Wow......"
The goshawk screamed, flapping its huge wings.
For a while, the dust on the cliff was flying, and many plants and trees were broken and shattered in the flutter of the eagle's wings, and the purple moon lotus that was guarded by the cobwebs also swayed, almost falling down.
At this juncture, a black shadow sprang out from somewhere on the cliffβ
The Lord has appeared!
It's a black spider bigger than a bathtub!
Ling Xiang's eyes widened slightly, and he was shocked by the huge size of this spider, but he was even more surprised by the efficiency of the other party's actions.
I saw that the black spider rushed to the goshawk's body at an unbelievable speed.
Burst!
The hideous mouthparts effortlessly stabbed into the goshawk's body, and the toxin followed suit.
In less than half a breath, the black spider retreated from the goshawk and lay down about two feet away from the goshawk, waiting for the venom to attack.
The whole process is smooth and presents a unique charm of killing.
After a while, Ling Xiang noticed that the strength of the goshawk's struggle was visibly weakened to the naked eye.
"The speed at which the toxicity set in was so fast." Ling Xiang was afraid for a while.
Fortunately, she didn't take the liberty to pick this spirit grass when she first encountered it, otherwise with the fierce poison of the spider, she might not even have bones left.
After half a cup of tea, the goshawk completely lost its movement.
It was entangled in cobwebs and hung upside down from the cliff. The wide wings maintain an open form, and the feathers are messy. There is a black liquid dripping from the slightly open beak of the eagle, giving off a fishy smell that looks creepy.
The black giant spider crawled to the goshawk's side, spit out silver threads from under its abdomen, and began to wrap around the goshawk's body.
Ling Xiang hid to the side and watched, quietly thinking about how to kill with one blow.
Judging from the speed at which the giant spider bit the goshawk and injected venom just now, if the first attack misses, it is likely that there will be no chance to attack the second time.
The only chance is that spiders have poor vision and can only sense simple changes in light and shadow, and they usually rely on their sense of smell and touch to catch their prey.
Ling Xiang shielded his aura with his divine power, and moved slowly, reducing the changes in light and shadow caused by the movement of his body as much as possible, and at the same time constricting the killing machine to avoid being detected by this giant spider in advance.
After a few moments, she managed to reach directly above the spider, closing the distance to only about a kilometer.
I saw Ling Xiang holding his breath and condensing his breath, silently running the mystical method of the "Taiyin Ancient Scripture", and the divine power in the sea of bitterness was urged, forming a little bit of brilliance under his umbilicus.
In an instant, the slightest ray of light formed a wave-like divine pattern law, hitting the target at an extremely fast speed, without giving the black giant spider the slightest time to react, from top to bottom, penetrating it on the spot.
Burst!
Gray-white blood splattered out.
The giant black spider hissed and fell off the cliff.
Boom!
The heavy body fell to the ground, and a muffled sound was heard below.
Ling Xiang forcibly endured the feeling of nausea and looked at it carefully, and was relieved to confirm that the giant spider's head had been shattered by himself and could not come back to life.
This was the first time she had used her occult spell to attack an enemy.
Even if the target was just a spider spirit who had barely cultivated a few doorways and was far from formalizing, it also put a lot of pressure on her.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and there were no mistakes or accidents.
Retracting his gaze from the giant spider's corpse, Ling Xiang turned his head to look at the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus.
This sparkling spirit grass was still swaying purple flowers in the wind, and the fragrance was overflowing, and it was not damaged by the disputes just now.
The black giant spider uses it as bait and at the same time guards it well.
I probably want to keep it and wait until the impact transformation time to take it to maximize the effect.
It's just that it's cheaper now.
She played a law of divine power, intending to melt these cobwebs, but with one move, her divine power was like a mud cow entering the sea, and she didn't hurt those silver threads at all.
"Huh?"
Ling Xiang was surprised, "This cobweb is so tough? β
She tried to strike another radiance, and the power was greater than before.
Phew!
The glow fell on the fine silver filaments, and once again disappeared into invisibility.
Ling Xiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling that this cobweb was a little evil.
"It shouldn't be." She bit her finger and muttered quietly, "If the spider silk is so powerful, why can't the giant spider itself block my blow?" β
After thinking for a moment, Ling Xiang decided to give it a try with the power of Ether Yin.
This kind of most primordial power in heaven and earth should always be able to break these cobwebs, right?
She urged the Xuanfa and hooked out the few traces of Taiyin power in her body, and fought it out together with the divine pattern attack in the sea of bitterness.
Sou!
The black Taiyin Holy Power instantly pierced through the cobweb, and since Ling Xiang's control of the divine power was still very rusty, the divine pattern law that pierced the cobwebs did not stop, and almost hit the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus.
It almost flew by the blades, and Ling Xiang broke out in a cold sweat in fright.
"Whew...... Scared the hell out of me! β
Ling Xiang patted his small chest and took a big breath.
The power of Taiyin can break cobwebs, which is undoubtedly good news.
Soon, Ling Xiang cleaned up a lot of cobwebs and successfully picked the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus.
The exotic orchid grass, which is only a dozen inches high, is crystal clear, the leaves are like green jade, and the flowers are like purple agate, which is bright and dripping.
After holding it in his hand, the fragrant fragrance was even stronger, as if it was unblocked, it rushed directly into Ling Xiang's internal organs, and the pores all over his body were so happy that they automatically opened.
"Master said that these wild spiritual grasses are usually hard to come by, and the birth of each one means a kind of chance. They contained a huge amount of life essence, and they were the most coveted things for ordinary monks. β
Ling Xiang's ears came up with the words that the ram Yongming had said.
"Get out of here first, and then find a secluded place to refine slowly." Ling Xiang made up his mind and carefully put away the Purple Moon Lotus with the cloth bag he carried with him.
There is a certain amount of risk.
Because ordinary cloth bags not only cannot isolate the breath of spirit grass, if the time is too long, the medicinal properties will also volatilize to a certain extent, resulting in a great reduction in the final effect.
But she didn't have any utensils specifically for sealing the elixir, so she could only barely store them in this most rudimentary way.
After putting away the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus, Ling Xiang dodged and flew to another place on the cliff.
There is a small cave there.
Previously, the black giant spider was the first to rush out from here.
"No wonder, the outline of this cave fits perfectly with the curve of the giant spider's size, I say why didn't I notice it in the first place." Ling Xiang looked at the entrance of the cave and was amazed.
The giant spider had dug such a cave, and as soon as it lay down at the entrance of the cave, its black body and the black cliff immediately merged, and it was difficult for people to detect it.
"It's a lot of work."
Ling Xiang cautiously looked inside the cave.
I want to find out if this spider spirit has left anything good, after all, spiders that can grow to such a big size are at least rare in the spider group, and they should have had some opportunities.
The results were unexpected.
Except for the corpses of some spiders, the cave is so clean that it can be described as a house.
"How can there be so many corpses of the same kind?" Ling Xiang frowned and wondered.
Do spiders kill even their own kind?
She didn't know.
After some investigation, he couldn't get any results, so he could only choose to leave.
Half an hour later, Ling Xiang came to a quiet river.
Once, when she was drinking water on her stomach here, she was almost bitten by a small green snake.
Revisiting the old place, the little green snake has long since disappeared.
Ling Xiang sensed it carefully, and after confirming that there was no danger around, he sat down on a bluestone on the shore.
She took out the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus, plucked a purple petal and put it in her mouth.
In an instant, a fragrance spread from her mouth, and even her whole person became fragrant. A few small bees nearby swished and flew over, circling around Ling Xiang, wanting to land on the flower of the Purple Moon Lotus.
Ling Xiang hurriedly waved his hand and fanned it away!
Just kidding, although the little bees are cute and the honey is also very sweet, this flower is not interesting for you to pick!
drove away the "flower thief", but Ling Xiang found that the gap left by the petals on the purple moon lotus was constantly escaping life essence outside. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were already dense, and countless tiny rays of light were fluttering.
"Yikes!"
Ling Xiang was in a rare hurry, and hurriedly tried to seal the gap and prevent the essence from escaping.
But the petal she had just eaten in her mouth began to play its role again, and streams of warm currents poured from her chest to her limbs, making her feel light and fluttering, with the illusion that she was about to feather and soar.
It was the medicinal effect of the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus, and it must be refined as soon as possible, otherwise the real effect would be greatly reduced.
For a while, Ling Xiang, who was in a dilemma, simply turned his heart sideways, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the entire Purple Moon Lotus.
Since you can't stop these life essences from draining outward, you can simply eat them all.
I'd rather die than waste!
"Master bless, I hope I won't be strutted to death......"
Before the Xuanfa that operated the Taiyin Ancient Scripture began to refine the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus, Ling Xiang muttered like this.
In an instant, she was completely settled, and the whole person sat motionless on the bluestone, like a sculpture.
With only half a burnt of incense, Ling Xiang's breathing became rapid.
A white mist began to emerge from the top of her head, her whole little face was flushed, and the skin of her whole body took on a hot bright red.
There is no doubt that swallowing the entire Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus in one go is indeed "eating" Ling Xiang.
The massive amount of life essence contained in the spirit grass was raging in Ling Xiang's body, just like a small river ditch encountered a flash flood, and the river channel was completely filled, and even the surrounding area of the river bank was washed.
At this moment, Ling Xiang's situation can be described as very critical, and if he is not careful, it is likely to cause the "flood" to pour out for thousands of miles, and all the meridians in his body will be broken and crowded.
At this time, if someone is around, you can even hear the blood rumbling in her body, it really seems like a flood is rushing.
After a while, the huge life essence brought by Ziyue Lotus made Ling Xiang's whole body swell, and a little bit of light overflowed on her body, and the whole person was like a steamed hairy crab.
She gritted her teeth and worked hard to run the mental method of the "Taiyin Ancient Sutra" Wheel Sea Scroll, refining and absorbing these life essences as quickly as possible.
But that's not enough.
The essence contained in the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus was too much, and Ling Xiang's cultivation at this time was too low, according to the normal situation, she needed to take it at least six times, which was the safest way.
Now swallow it in one go, and the consequences are obvious.
The speed of her refining simply couldn't keep up with the limits that her body could bear.
"No, we need to find a way to ......"
Ling Xiang steadied his mind and worked hard to refine it, while racking his brains to think.
"The medicinal effect of the Nine Rui Purple Moon Lotus is like a flood, it should be sparse but not blocked."
"Instead of trying to block it and prevent it from wreaking havoc in my body, what I should do is strengthen my own body meridians. As long as the meridians can withstand the impact, as long as the sea of bitterness is not penetrated, then I can always slowly refine it. β
"In a short period of time, it is very difficult to strengthen the meridians of one's body, and this is related to cultivation. Or...... Can I think of myself as a container? β
Ling Xiang's mind was racing fast, and she thought of one thing that her master had specifically mentioned when she was teaching the Taiyin Ancient Scripture:
In the general outline of the ancient scriptures, there are nine strange ancient characters that Ling Xiang does not recognize. Ram Yongming said that those nine ancient characters are one of the essences of the entire ancient scripture and have a very special effect.
If you use it well, you can suppress a world and imprison space, space, space, and void.
"Using myself as a tool and suppressing myself with nine ancient characters, can I survive this hurdle?"
Doubts only flashed in Ling Xiang's heart.
Without time for her to think about it, she immediately took action.
She separated a wisp of her mind, hooked the divine power in her body as ink, and imprinted the nine ancient characters in the general outline of the ancient scriptures in nine positions in the center of the eyebrows, left and right shoulders, chest, wheels, hands, and legs.
The moment the last ancient character was completed, Ling Xiang felt that his body had lost consciousness.
Even the perception of the passage of time has been lost.
Everything around seems to have come to a standstill, even the river no longer flows, and everything is eternal.
Ling Xiang stepped into a very strange state, as if he had come to an era of chaos and confusion, standing in the most special position, he could see the heaven and earth open and the stars shining.
You can also see the terrifying picture of everything disappearing and returning to chaos.
But all of this is just simple seeing, she can't touch anything, the only thing she can accurately perceive is the life essence that is still raging in her body.
