Chapter 19: The Mysterious Jade Bead
Although a monk has a much longer life than mortals, living longer does not mean that life is more enjoyable, for most monks, as long as there is the slightest interest in the realm, the path, and the unattainable immortality, it is destined that his entire monk career will be spent most of his boring cultivation.
Except for most monks who are nearing longevity and have no hope of breaking through to the next great realm, no monk will waste cultivation time at will, but in fact, even monks who are close to longevity will do their best to win the last shot.
In this world, whether it is a mortal or a monk, there are still a few people who can see through life and death and face death indifferently. From this point of view, there is no difference between a monk and a mortal, but he has lived a little longer.
Nearly two years have passed, and when the warm spring breeze blows from the distant sky to Binhaifang City, it brings not only the faint smell of the sea mixed in the wind, but also dozens of large and small treasure ships.
These treasure ships filled the harbor of Binhaifang City, and each treasure ship was a large fourth-order magic weapon, worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.
These treasure ships had departed from Binhaifang City last winter to trade with Limeng Island, and had finally arrived at the beginning of spring this year.
Each such treasure ship would carry a large amount of goods, so countless monks came and went between the treasure ship and the port, and the people in charge of many forces were also directing the people to carry the purchased resources one by one.
Waiting in a large open space outside the port, countless caravans are also waiting here, waiting to transfer their goods.
Most of the monsters used to transport goods are similar to the Li family's earth horse beasts, which are heavy and gentle in nature, but at this time, hundreds of demon beasts of different varieties gathered together, making these demon beasts quite irritable, and in just a short period of time, there were several riots in the beast herd, but fortunately, there were monks who were responsible for their own care to appease the emotions of the demon beasts in time, which did not expand the situation.
There were too many materials pouring in from Limeng Island at once, and the prices in the entire Binhaifang City were reduced by nearly 20% overnight, and many of the casual cultivators who participated in this trade also brought back a lot of strange materials, and most of them chose to set up stalls in the free trade zone demarcated by Binhaifang City to sell.
This is a quadrennial event, and every four years the Ghoul Sect organizes such a large-scale treasure ship trade, and this treasure ship trade has caused a large number of resources to pour into Binhaifang City, and it has also attracted many monks from the surrounding realms, and in just a few days, the number of monks in Binhaifang City has increased by four or five times compared to usual.
There are many people, many resources, there are voices of selling and bargaining everywhere, and countless spirit stones are circulating in Binhai Fang City, and at this time Binhai Fang City reflects the atmosphere of its large-scale Fang City.
And all this has nothing to do with Li Xuangang, or it has nothing to do with him now.
Because he is at a critical moment of breakthrough.
When the last trace of aura that broke through the boundary of the dantian to contain the aura poured into Li Xuangang's body, as if there was a "pop", a kind of shackles were broken, and the scope of Li Xuangang's dantian to accommodate the aura expanded.
The huge aura was instantly attracted to him, and it kept pouring in towards him, and there was a tendency to intensify.
And Li Xuangang was closing his eyes tightly at this time, trying to maintain the dantian that had just broken through the seventh layer of qi refining, but he didn't know why, he felt that the aura was surging towards him uncontrollably, obviously the capacity of the dantian had already reached the limit, but he couldn't stop absorbing the refining aura.
At this time, if Li Xuangang woke up, he would find that the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave had reached a terrifying level, and the spiritual energy in the air seemed to turn into silk threads visible to the naked eye, slowly swimming in the light.
Gradually, Li Xuangang had a feeling of suffocation, the aura in the dantian could not be contained for a long time, and the aura refined into the body could not find a place to store, so they came out of the meridians one after another, heading towards Li Xuangang's flesh and blood.
The feeling of the aura forcibly breaking through the flesh and blood was like ten thousand insects eating bones, and Li Xuangang was already a little delirious at this time, so he could only use his last consciousness to protect his mind and dantian.
Due to a large amount of aura scurrying around Li Xuangang's body, he was already at the closest moment to death at this time.
However, he still didn't understand, it was normal for him to break through the seventh layer of qi refining, but then he didn't know why the aura poured into his body uncontrollably and crazy.
The culprit was a dark green jade bead, which was the one that Li Xuangang had studied several times before and had no clue, and was later thrown into the storage bag by him, but when Li Xuangang broke through the seventh layer of qi refining and gathered a large amount of aura, it quietly broke through Li Xuangang's storage bag and flew out by itself.
At this time, it was floating in front of Li Xuangang, spinning drippingly, and a large amount of more terrifying aura was constantly absorbed by it, and it showed no signs of saturation at all.
If it hadn't shared most of the aura, Li Xuangang would have been dying.
But then again, at this time, it was obvious that it was this dark green jade bead that attracted such a huge aura, if it weren't for this dark green jade bead, Li Xuangang would not have suffered this incident at all.
Just when Li Xuangang's consciousness was gradually blurred, and he couldn't even maintain the last trace of clarity, the aura that kept pouring into Li Xuangang's cave mansion finally stopped.
At this time, Li Xuangang also reached the stage of exhaustion, at this time he was covered in blood, and countless small blood beads broke through his skin and came out, making Li Xuangang a "blood man".
And after the aura stopped, the dark green jade bead also fell and landed beside Li Xuangang, who had already fainted.
What he didn't know was that the blood flowing from his body was absorbed by the dark green jade bead, and after the jade bead absorbed Li Xuangang's blood, a burst of green light appeared, and then it quickly dimmed again and returned to normal.
At the moment when the abnormal fluctuation of the aura ended, a red figure flew out from the depths of the spiritual veins of Binhaifang City.
When this red light stopped in the sky above the spiritual veins, he found that this was a short and fat old man, he was wearing a red robe, a pair of small eyes, under the eyes was a rosacea, and the sparse fiery red hair grew around the top of the head, but the middle light did not slip. Although the image was not good, at this time, the monks of the entire Binhaifang City did not dare to move, and all kinds of complicated eyes came from the monks of Binhaifang City and converged on the old man suspended in mid-air.
And this old man's body clearly exuded the aura of a Jindan monk, and the appearance of this aura seemed to make the Binhaifang City, which was still lively and noisy just now, fall silent in an instant.
This old man is the elder of the Ghoul Sect, the mid-stage Jindan monk Xiang Shancheng, and also the resident elder of Binhaifang City.
Xiang Shancheng didn't care about the monks in Binhaifang City, but spread out all his divine sense, searching for all the movements within a radius of ten miles.
"Strange, what the hell is going on? I can't even detect any breath. ”
Xiang Shancheng muttered to himself.
Just now, he was cultivating in the fourth-order spiritual vein of Binfang City, but he suddenly noticed that the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein was passing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, close to one percent of the spiritual energy was gone.
He left the cave in an instant, soared into the sky, and wanted to investigate, but that phenomenon only happened for a moment, and when he exuded the divine consciousness corpse, it was already calm, if he didn't feel that the aura of the spiritual veins was indeed less, Xiang Cheng quickly doubted whether he was mistaken.
Tsai carefully turned this boundary upside down, Xiang Xiaocheng still didn't find any clues, he was unwilling to use his divine sense to search twice, and finally found nothing, before returning to his cave.
Seeing that after Xiang Shancheng disappeared, the entire Binhaifang City came to life again, and most of the monks were discussing what had just happened, and even Xiang Shancheng, the real person of Jindan, came out.
Their cultivation is not high, although they feel that the aura around them has decreased a little, but this change is not big, and naturally they don't know what is going on.
And the source of all this, Li Xuangang is still in a coma, and he doesn't know that he has been closed by the ghost gate several times.
By the time Li Xuangang woke up, it was already three days later.
Looking at the blood stains on his body, Li Xuangang gradually recalled the incident of three days ago, and didn't care about the fact that he had broken through the seventh layer of qi refining, but hurriedly picked up the jade bead beside him and looked at it carefully.
This time he noticed some differences, this dark green jade bead looked as if something was constantly flowing inside, like a stream of air.
But his eyes widened, Li Xuangang didn't find anything else strange, and he didn't dare to move because of his previous changes. So after carefully putting the jade beads aside, he began to clean up his body and took a new set of clothes from the storage bag to change into.
Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, Li Xuangang obviously felt that his spiritual power was much more powerful than those seventh-level Qi refining cultivators he had come into contact with, and he could clearly feel that the strength of his physical body had increased more than a little.
Li Xuangan had a feeling that he was now comparable to a fifth-level cultivator of Qi refining with his physical strength alone.
His previous encounter with his life hanging by a thread was equivalent to washing all his flesh and bones with aura, and many aura that had not been completely dispersed was finally integrated into Li Xuangang's flesh and bones. This caused his physical strength to increase greatly.
The next day, Li Xuangang did not leave the cave in a hurry, but became familiar with his own strength inside.
......
Xiang Shancheng was distressed at this time, his spiritual veins were damaged, how should he report to the sect? The key is that he has not found out the reason yet.
Just when Xiang Silence was distressed, Li Xuangang carefully touched the dark green jade bead with his divine sense.
I saw that as soon as the latter touched Li Xuangang's divine sense, he hung in the air, and in the cave, in front of Li Xuangang, turned into a door with a flashing pale green light curtain.
Li Xuangang's eyes widened, he didn't expect this bead to suddenly turn into a door.
At this time, there was a storm in his heart, he had never seen such a strange scene.
