Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Spirit Leopard of the Qi Gathering Realm
Tian Xu was a little surprised by the behavior of this leopard: ordinary beasts, after the cultivator released a powerful momentum, either turned around and fled, or trembled and prostrate, not daring to move, like this leopard, still eager to approach, it can be said that it is rare, almost invisible. It seems that this leopard is not ordinary.
He carefully scanned the leopard, and found that its body was full of spiritual energy, and it had actually entered the Qi Gathering Realm, this was a cultivated leopard, no wonder it was not afraid of its own momentum. This guy may have eaten some high-level elixir, or had some adventures, and actually entered the cultivation world, if he is given enough time to develop, he will make progress if he doesn't get it right. Looking at the way it stared at the two of them, I don't know how many people it has eaten.
In fact, Tian Xu also wronged this leopard. Ever since it entered the Gathering Qi, it has known how to look for food with aura, but it has little interest in humans. All it had encountered before were ordinary people, and it didn't have the aura gathering like a cultivator, and out of the intuition of a beast, it knew the horror of humans, and it didn't take the initiative to attack humans.
It was only today that it was attracted by the rich aura in the super dinner made by Tian Xu, and at this time, it smelled the aura gathered on Tian Xu's two bodies, so it had an idea about them.
Tian Xu didn't know this, and he didn't care about this, since this animal wanted to attack him, he didn't have to be polite to it. When the leopard was less than twenty meters away from them, Tian Xu waved his hand, and after the two flying knives were infused with spiritual energy, they flew towards the leopard at an extremely fast speed.
The leopard realized the danger, bowed up, waved its two front paws, and struck out against the throwing knife, but it actually missed the direction of the throwing knife and flew close to its ears, and its two front paws were also cut by the throwing knife.
The leopard was in pain, roared, jumped and pounced on Tian Xu, and when he was in mid-air, he opened his mouth and sent out a ball of energy, attacking Tian Xu.
Tian Xu didn't dodge or dodge, and hit the leopard head-on, and the momentum hit Tian Xu's chest and spread out, without causing any harm to Tian Xu, and Tian Xu's knife had been plunged into its chest from under its neck, directly cutting off the leopard's heart.
The leopard has no ability to attack, but its body still crashes towards Tian Xu because of inertia, Tian Xu's right hand grabs the leopard's scalp, carries it around in a circle, unloads the impact of its pounce, and throws the corpse on the ground. The thin knife had already been retracted by Tian Xu, and blood gushed out from the wound under the leopard's neck, instantly wetting the ground.
In the process of killing the leopard, Tian Xu never stopped chanting the heart-clearing mantra in his mouth, Ziyan sat there, and his cultivation was not interrupted.
Tian Xu was very interested in this leopard in the Qi Gathering Realm, and conducted a careful scan of this thing, and the result surprised him quite a bit:
The claw bones of the spirit leopard, the high-grade holy medicine on the human level, strengthen the body, and strengthen the meridians.
Spirit leopard bones, the holy medicine of the lower ranks, strengthen the body, and strengthen the meridians.
Spirit leopard meat, worldly high-grade elixir, great replenishment.
Tian Xu had no intention of dealing with this treasure at this time, and threw it into the Yin Yang Ding space, so he sat down cross-legged again, recited the heart-clearing mantra, and helped Ziyan cultivate.
At dawn, Ziyan stopped cultivating, stood up, and saw that Tian Xu was just sitting there to help him recite the Pure Heart Mantra, and did not carry out in-depth cultivation, so he interrupted his recitation and said, "Okay, my cultivation is done, I know that you are working hard, take a break for a while, and make breakfast after a while." ”
Tian Xu reluctantly stopped the heart purification mantra, also stood up, and said with a wry smile: "I thought that after you finished your cultivation, you would have to make a meal to comfort me, a great hero, but I didn't expect that let me rest for a while and then go to cook, even if it was comforting." Well, who made me a miserable man?" he said, getting up and moving his body, which had been sitting a little stiff overnight.
Ziyan was a little embarrassed when he said this, and said, "Isn't my cooking not as delicious as yours?" As he spoke, he saw a large pool of blood on the ground, and asked in surprise, "What is the matter with this bloodstain? The enemy came last night? Why didn't I hear any movement?"
"But no," Tian Xu said, "At that time, you were at a critical moment of cultivation, so I had to send the enemy away quietly. ”
Ziyan pouted and said, "Don't lie to me, after so much blood, any enemy has to die, why didn't you even see the corpse?"
Tian Xu said helplessly: "The enemy is indeed dead, and the corpse was collected into the space by me, of course you can't see it." As he spoke, he threw out the corpse of the leopard and said, "This guy actually entered the Qi Gathering Realm, and my flying knife had no way to take it, and finally I used the knife to kill it." It treats the two of us as a tonic with plenty of aura, and I can't scare it away when I let go of my momentum, it's a shame that it has such a high level of understanding. ”
Ziyan said: "It's a leopard! Listen to my father, beasts that can cultivate are quite rare, and after they enter the Qi Gathering Realm, they can produce some spiritual intelligence, which is much smarter than ordinary beasts, and can sense danger in advance and avoid it, so it is very difficult to catch." The beasts that gather qi are called spirit beasts, and they have treasures on them, most of them are elixirs, I don't know where this leopard is the elixir?"
Tian Xu said with a smile: "If you want to talk about the research of elixir, there are not many people who are smarter than me, guess what, where is the elixir on this leopard?"
Ziyan looked back and forth at the leopard for a long time, and tried to ask, "Gallbladder?
Tian Xu smiled and said, "That's folklore. There are a lot of elixirs on this leopard, and it can be said that more than half of them are elixirs. The flesh and bones on it are good. Meat is a worldly high-grade, bones are a low-level human grade, and claw bones are high-grade human grades, all of which are good things. It's just that this leopard meat needs to be used fresh to be effective, and the effect is to greatly replenish vitality. This morning, we'll make a pot and see how it works. As he spoke, he began to peel the skin and remove the meat.
When he peeled the skin, he found that the skin of this spirit leopard was actually quite strong, and the ordinary hunting knife he got from Wen Yihe needed to be infused with spiritual energy before he could barely cut it. It's no wonder that the two throwing knives he sent out could only cut a small hole in his claws, and it seems that this leopard skin is also a good thing. In the end, Tian Xu no longer struggled, and directly switched to a thin knife to complete the peeling work.
The internal organs had no value, and they were directly dug and buried by Tian Xu. Removing meat is not a job that Tian Xu is good at, but the Cu Ding Jie Niu he read helped out. He used olfactory imaging to guide the knife in his hand, easily separating the flesh and bones of the leopard. Tian Xu's Yin Yang Ding space has its own preservation function, and these meats should be stored for a long time when placed inside.
After removing the meat, the leopard bone remains a single piece. Tian Xu cut off the four leopard claws from the wrist joints and stored them separately, and the skeletons in other places were rolled into a ball by him and put them into the Yin Yang Ding space.
This leopard is a little bigger than the average leopard, and it weighs a lot more than the average leopard. An ordinary leopard is only one hundred and thirty or forty pounds, but this guy is about two hundred pounds. Almost all of the excess weight comes from its bones, especially its four claws, which are like they are cast in iron, and the total weight exceeds twenty-five catties, which greatly surprises Tian Xu.
The leopard has almost no fat and is full of muscle, totaling nearly seventy pounds. Tian Xu took out a large piece, set up a gas stove and stewed it, got some other things, and made a rather hearty breakfast.
After the meal, Tian Xu and Ziyan packed up their things and set off. Tian Xu used the electronic map to plan the route, and after practicing all night, the energetic Ziyan volunteered to drive and let Tian Xu lie in the back seat to make up for sleep.
In this way, I traveled during the day for several days, practiced at night, and came to Golmud City in less than a day. The city is an important transportation hub and is very prosperous. This is the last big city before they enter Kunlun Mountain, after passing here, they will enter Hoh Xili, and then enter Kunlun Mountain, which is basically a no-man's land, they need to stay here for two days, replenish various living materials, and do a rest, there will be no such a comfortable environment in the future.
Different from the situation where the aura was abundant along the way, the aura of Geshi, which was the key to the Quartet, was actually very barren, and it was almost able to catch up with Qin City, which was seriously lacking in aura, which made Tian Xu, who was full of expectations here, full of disappointment. They arrived in the city in the evening, opened a room in the hotel here, took a shower, slept comfortably, and the next morning they went to the supermarket and the vegetable market, bought a batch of daily necessities, and then planned to leave. For the two cultivators, a city lacking aura really had no reason to attract them to stay.
However, just as they were about to leave after completing their purchases from the last vegetable market, a stall selling various wild elixirs attracted Tian Xu's attention. This kind of stall was more common in the nineties, on a spread of white cloth, there were all kinds of elixirs, including tiger bones, deer antlers, antelope horns, deer whips, musk and other well-known animal elixirs, but they were basically fake, and the price was also close to life, so that ordinary people could buy a piece. As long as you are willing to take out a few dozen yuan, he will cut off a piece of the herbs placed there for you and tell you to go back and boil water to drink. If you tell me what kind of disease you want to treat, the stall owner will help you determine what medicine you need, and usually two or three hundred yuan will solve the problem. Of course, the effectiveness of this drug remains to be verified.
Tian Xu paid attention to such a stall. What caught his attention was a fluffy musk bag on the stall. His keen sense of smell told him that it was a real musk packet. Musk is not too rare nowadays, most of the musk used in medicine are artificial musk, and a few natural musks are not wild, but farmed. In fact, there is not much difference between farmed, artificial and wild musk in terms of effect, but people still seek wild musk. So some people used farmed musk in leather bags made of deer skin or sheepskin, and pretended to be wild musk to deceive people.
Tian Xu didn't care about wild musk originally, but the musk in this musk bag was a human-level elixir, so he couldn't ignore it.
