Chapter 53: Victory in the First Battle
With the deepening of cultivation, the refining effect of the fierce beast on the flesh has gradually decreased, and Su Aotian has also been troubled by this problem for a long time, and he has never thought of an effective way. Now that the situation is under control, Su Aotian suddenly came up with a bold idea, that is, the poison of the soul seducing scorpion.
The attack of the beast's power has failed, but the toxin should have caused damage to the flesh, so can the toxin be used to further refine the flesh? As soon as this thought appeared, it firmly occupied Su Aotian's mind, prompting him to exercise this seemingly crazy move.
Su Aotian weighed the pros and cons and felt that this risk could be taken. After all, the fifth-level fierce beast is not too dangerous for the monks of the foundation building period, and its toxin is not yet to the point of being killed immediately, if you can't resist it, then quickly solve it, and it's not too late to slowly find a way to expel the poison.
Su Aotian knew that his cultivation path would definitely be full of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and it would be difficult to achieve the supreme avenue without finding another way, so he made up his mind after just a little weighing, and after performing a few "flying arrow techniques", he rushed to the side of the soul hooking scorpion.
This time, he fought with the Soul Hook Scorpion for a while, and occasionally dodged a few attacks before pretending to be unable to dodge, and was grazed by the tail of the Soul Hook Scorpion from his left arm.
The moment it came into contact with the scorpion's tail, Su Aotian immediately felt a hot pain sensation, as if he had been burned by a red-hot iron rod, and then felt that the wound was numb and itchy, and then the complexion near the wound turned purple-black, and quickly spread upward. Su Aotian hurriedly activated the aura to contain it, and the speed at which the toxin spread slowly slowed down. Seeing this, Su Aotian breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that he was lucky, the toxin of this soul hooking scorpion was not too powerful.
At this moment, the situation suddenly changed, and the monks who were watching could see it clearly, and immediately like water droplets dripping into a hot oil pot, all kinds of exclamations and screams rang out. The monk who originally bet on the victory of the soul scorpion was already as pale as earth, and then saw Su Aotian being hit by the scorpion tail, and was stunned and then overjoyed; Look, this kid was stung by the Soul Hooking Scorpion, which is enough for him to drink a pot!" A monk next to him who had obviously lost a lot of spirit stones, although his face was like a pig's liver, he still took a sip and said: "You deserve it, why didn't you get poisoned earlier, and it will cause Lao Tzu to lose money." ”
After a while, all the monks were stunned when they saw that although Su Aotian was poisoned, he did not die of poison, and he could dodge and dodge, and one of the monks couldn't help but exclaim: "Impossible! Why isn't he dead yet?" The other monks were also amazed: "The poison of this soul hooking scorpion is so fierce, the Zhuji monk has been hit, he must immediately take medicine to expel the poison, and it is difficult to even walk, why is this kid still fighting?" After a while, seeing that Su Aotian was not defeated, those monks who bet on Su Aotian had hope in their hearts again, and they all shouted: "Boy, hold on, it will be half an hour soon!"
Su Aotian was concentrating on dealing with the Soul Hooking Scorpion at this time, not only to dodge its attack, but also to be distracted to resist the toxin, after a while, he felt that his left arm was no longer conscious, but fortunately, his right arm was not affected, and he could still swing the sword to resist, and the toxin had been contained and no longer spread.
However, although the toxin no longer spreads, the strong corrosiveness causes the poisoned skin and muscles of the left arm to begin to fester, necrosis, and gradually begin to bleed yellow water. Su Aotian operated the aura, suppressed the toxin, repaired the body, and noticed that the necrotic flesh tissue was slowly repairing, and his heart was wide, it seemed that his idea was right, and the toxin could really promote the refining of the body.
Since the poison of the Soul Hook Scorpion was not fatal to him, Su Aotian decided to further strengthen the quenching body, so he pretended to accidentally prick the Soul Hook Scorpion in his right calf.
The battle situation was full of twists and turns, and the monks who were watching were happy for a while, and lost for a while, and their moods rose and fell with the changes in the situation of both humans and beasts in the field, plus the incentive of bets, and they felt both crazy and exciting. At this time, seeing that Su Aotian was injured again, the monks shouted wildly, and many monks wanted the two sides to separate life and death immediately.
Just when most people thought that Su Aotian was now inconvenient to move, the situation was critical, and he was about to be defeated and killed, Su Aotian showed a second magical power - "All Things Entangled".
This supernatural power is the first supernatural power that Su Aotian has learned, and now it has increased dramatically when it is displayed, and it has long been no longer necessary to use the power of plants, and it is purely used to condense wood vitality into branches and vines to trap the soul hooking poisonous scorpion. Of course, the effect of the wood magic power will be better when it is used in places with abundant vegetation.
With the help of supernatural powers, Su Aotian opened up the distance between himself and the Soul Hook Scorpion, continued to quench his body with toxins, and when he saw that the Soul Hook Scorpion was about to break free, he used his magic power again to trap it.
In this way, the situation reversed again, Su Aotian and the Soul Hook Scorpion formed a stalemate situation, and the onlookers were tormented between joy and sorrow, and they wanted to collapse.
As he went round and round, a monk suddenly shouted, "Haha! It's been an hour! Boy, you are really good, don't be foolish, I have a unique eye for you!" As he spoke, he danced excitedly, causing many monks to roll their eyes and curse in low voices.
Su Aotian saw that it had taken a lot of time, and he also wanted to end the battle and go back to experience the effect of the toxin quenching body, so he put away his supernatural powers and put on a desperate posture.
Seeing this, those monks who were betting on the Soul Hooking Scorpion thought that Su Aotian had finally lost his aura and wanted to fight to the death, and they shouted one after another: "This kid is finally going to collapse, kill him quickly!"
The Soul Hook Scorpion finally got rid of the "entanglement of all things", and immediately rushed forward, Su Aotian held the sword in one hand and raised it high, the talisman was already hidden in the palm of his hand, and when the Soul Hook Scorpion rushed closer, it suddenly came out.
This is a talisman of mid-stage power refining by Su Aotian himself, named "Giant Wood Talisman", and there is a magical power sealed in it, called "Chongcheng Giant Mallet".
I saw a cyan giant tree three zhang long and one zhang thick suddenly crashed into the soul hook scorpion, and the soul hook scorpion just rushed over quickly, the two collided violently, and made a dull loud sound, and the sand and rocks flew away for a while, and the sky was full of dust.
When the dust settled, everyone looked at it closely, and they all opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.
The cyan giant tree was inserted directly from the chest and abdomen of the Soul Hook Scorpion, and from the back near the tail, skewering the Soul Hook Scorpion like roasted meat.
This fierce beast opened its teeth and claws, and before it died, Su Aotian activated his aura, and the cyan giant wood turned into wood vitality, and suddenly exploded, blasting the soul hooking poisonous scorpion to pieces. Su Aotian flew forward at the same time, and put the fist-sized yellow poison sac under the scorpion tail that he had already aimed at into his bag.
In the end, Su Aotian won a complete victory, and the onlookers could hardly believe their eyes. And the monk who was still immersed in ecstasy just now, betting that Su Aotian could hold on for an hour, after being stunned for a long time, he slapped himself in the mouth: "I'm so cheap, why don't you buy this kid to win!"
Of course, Su Aotian didn't have time to look at the faces of these people, and he didn't take the beast core, and limped directly to the entrance door. After entering the room, there was already a foundation building monk waiting inside, and when they met, they said, "Congratulations to Daoist friends for winning, this is Daoyou's reward, please accept it." While handing over a leather bag, Su Aotian took it and took a brief look, and there were fifty medium-grade spirit stones inside, which were all set when signing the contract. Su Aotian put the spirit stone into the storage bag, and the foundation building monk said: "The beast core of the fierce beast, if you don't need it, we can pay the spirit stone of the Dao friend according to the value." If this beast core is needed by the Colosseum, then we have the right of first refusal, and we need to inform Daoist friends about this. Fellow Daoists, please go back and recuperate from your injuries as soon as possible, at least one month will not arrange Daoyou to fight, Daoist friends, please pay attention to the information of Yujian, we will give Daoyou a title as soon as possible, and arrange suitable beasts. Su Aotian listened, nodded and said okay, and the monk turned around and went out.
Su Aotian returned the same way, treated his injuries in the house where he came, and walked out of the courtyard after packing up. After walking for a while, after observing that no one was following him, Su Ao quickly changed into his appearance when he placed the bet and walked to the Colosseum to exchange the bet.
The monk in charge of the compensation took Su Aotian's jade plaque, almost couldn't believe his eyes, and hurriedly said, "Daoist friends, let me verify it." After speaking, he turned around and put the jade plate into a box behind him, and after confirming that it was correct, he looked at Su Aotian blankly, and only after a while did he say: "Dao friendly vision, good courage, it is really the only thing I have seen in my life, admire and admire!" After speaking, he took out a storage bag and counted out a thousand medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to Su Aotian.
Su Aotian saw that among the thousand spirit stones, the water and wood attributes accounted for the majority, the earth attribute was not small, and the number of golden fire attribute spirit stones was very small, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "I want to change some more metallic spirit stones, I don't know if it's convenient." The monk said: "That's okay, but according to the rules, you must get a certain discount to exchange the spirit stones of the specified attributes, I don't know what kind of spirit stones do you need?" Su Aotian said: "I want to exchange all of them for gold spirit stones." The monk said: "The golden spirit stone is a scarce spirit stone, if you want to exchange it all, you can only give you sixty percent." Su Aotian bowed his head and said, "Yes." The monk took back the storage bag and counted out the six hundred golden spirit stones again and handed them to Su Aotian.
Su Aotian took the spirit stone and took the opportunity to change it back to its original appearance before returning to the inn.
As soon as he entered the quiet room, Su Aotian couldn't wait to lay down the ban and start cultivating. The golden soul holds the spirit stone to practice the "golden trick", the water soul uses drugs and quenches the body with all its might, and the wood soul studies talismans, occasionally looking at the "key to refining". Time flew by in the cultivation.
By the time the light on the jade slip came on again, it was already two months later. During this period, the Golden Soul has made rapid progress, and has absorbed two medium-grade golden spirit stones, compared to absorbing one medium-grade spirit stone for nearly twenty years before, the cultivation speed has increased by more than twenty times, which can be said to be a qualitative leap. Nearly half of the toxin of the soul scorpion has been used, and the corrosion of the toxin on the body has been greatly alleviated, and the feeling of paralysis is extremely slight, and the impact on the action can basically be ignored.
What is shown on the jade slip is, "Three days later, against the fifth-level fierce beast four-winged thunder eagle, your title is the ultimate killer." Su Aotian couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the title, he seemed to have a relationship with the killer, he was forced to flee because he became a genius killer, and now he has become the ultimate killer of the beast.
In view of the last performance, the Colosseum lowered Su Aotian's odds, but only opened a bet of one to two for the fighter and one to four for the fierce beast to win, despite this, there are still many monks who think that Su Aotian does not necessarily have a chance of winning against the bird monks, and the monks who buy the fierce beast to win are in the majority as always.
The fierce beast Su Aotian has also dealt with a lot, this four-winged thunder eagle is not strong, it is better than speed, the attack is extremely fast, and if it misses a blow, it will immediately fly away, and ordinary monks can only be beaten and unable to fight back, and they are very passive. This fierce beast is born with thunder and lightning attributes, and its beak, claws, and wings can be discharged, and monks with poor cultivation are often paralyzed by electricity and lose their ability to resist. However, Su Aotian's divine sense is powerful, although this four-winged thunder eagle is as fast as lightning, how can it escape Su Aotian's divine sense, so its attacks are easily dodged by Su Aotian. However, it was its own thunder and lightning that attracted Su Aotian's attention, and after trying it, he found that its threat was not as strong as the toxin of the soul hooking scorpion, so he simply used it as a quenching material, and from time to time he was hit by it, causing the monks who were watching to bet for a while.
After fighting for half an hour this time, Su Aotian felt that the electric shock of the thunder eagle had weakened, and the value of the exercise was not great, so he saw the right time to lock the thunder eagle firmly, and when it swooped down again, he quietly launched the "Shocking Thorn", where could the thunder eagle withstand this kind of attack, even if it was about to fall headlong. Of course, Su Aotian wouldn't let it fall like this, and the supernatural power "All Things Entangled" was immediately released, binding the thunder eagle squarely, flying into the air, and dropping the thunder eagle with a sword. This time he didn't make a dead move, but just knocked the thunder eagle unconscious.
Su Aotian accepted the reward and exchanged the bet, this time he suppressed thirty spirit stones, which could have won sixty, but after being deducted by the Colosseum, he exchanged for forty-two earth spirit stones, which was also to prepare for the cultivation of earth system exercises in the future.
After going back, Su Aotian waited for Yu Jian's notice, but was diligent in cultivation, talisman making, and intensive study of the "Amazing Divine Technique". After defeating the two fifth-level fierce beasts, the Colosseum began to arrange sixth-level fierce beasts for him, Su Aotian pretended to win a narrow victory every time, and gradually the reputation of the ultimate killer rose, and more and more monks bet on him, and the Colosseum repeatedly lowered the odds, making him earn fewer and fewer spirit stones. The speed of the Golden Soul's cultivation is getting faster and faster, reaching the point of absorbing two medium-grade spirit stones in a month, and after a year, Su Aotian finally feels that he is about to break through.
Breaking through the foundation building monk again will definitely cause a sensation, and Su Aotian can only go out of the city to the wilderness to make a breakthrough. He came to the Colosseum first, saying that he had achieved cultivation and needed to retreat for a period of time, so he went out of the city, chose a secluded valley, and after laying down the ban, he began to break through with all his might. With the experience of the first two breakthroughs, this breakthrough was even smoother, and it only took half a month to succeed. After leaving the customs, Su Aotian tried to merge the three souls into the foundation, although he felt that he was unprecedentedly powerful, but the pain of the divine soul was really unbearable, and he would go crazy if he didn't die for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
took out the jade slip, contacted the Colosseum, and learned that there was no match scheduled recently, so Su Aotian walked in the direction of returning to the city in a hurry. This time the breakthrough was successful, and the mood was still quite happy, Su Aotian decided to go around Tianwu City and enjoy the cityscape. Although he has been in Tianwu City for more than a year, he is diligent in cultivating competitions and has not wandered around the city yet.
This time he entered the city through the south gate and walked straight to the most prosperous fang market in the city. There are many kinds of shops and stalls, and the items they sell are even more varied, in short, as long as there are spirit stones, you can buy everything you want. Su Aotian walked all the way, although he didn't buy anything, he also felt that he was relishing, and unconsciously came to the entrance of a market, and the archway was written with three big characters "Slave Square".
Su Aotian looked inside and couldn't help but be stunned. I saw that the furnishings inside were like ordinary cattle and horse markets, and they were also separated by wooden stakes into trading places, and in front of each place there were one or two monks who built the foundation and then sold them, but the objects of sale were not cattle and horses, but people, to be exact, some male and female monks.
The monks, young and old, sat and stood, some with sad faces, some insensitive, and some nuns and children weeping in low voices. Su Aotian involuntarily walked inside, and saw that most of these monks were in the Qi refining period, there were also some foundation building monks, and several of them were in the middle stage of foundation building, which was even higher than his own cultivation.
When the monks saw someone coming, they all came up and greeted them warmly: "Fellow Daoists come here to take a look, all kinds of slaves, everything, whether you need Zhuang Ding to take care of the home, or need a female cultivator Ding furnace, or a child to serve, there is always one suitable for you, to ensure that you are satisfied." "Good quality, preferential price, no more missed it, do you want to take a look?" "High-quality slaves, cultivated to a high level, loyal and honest, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not, come and take a look!" Su Aotian shook his head and said nothing, this market is not big, and after a while, it came to the end and walked out from the other end.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Aotian walked into a restaurant, asked for two drinks and dishes at random, and took advantage of the time when Xiao Er came up to greet him, and asked him about the situation of the "slave workshop" by the way. All the shopkeepers are not talkative, and when he saw Su Aotian asking him, he first asked Su Aotian very proudly: "The seniors are from other places, and it is the first time to come to Tianwu City, right? No wonder I don't know the situation in this city, this slave workshop..."
