Chapter 419: Refining the Heart and Quenching the Body
Yang Luochen's heart was shocked, the words of the Nine Elders were meant for Yang Luochen, and Yang Luochen didn't know what the Nine Elders had planned, and his heart began to feel uneasy.
The Nine Elders took ten bottles, suddenly disappeared, and appeared on one of the platforms, on which everyone except Yan Xintong was bound by golden threads.
The Ninth Elder slowly said to Yan Xintong, who was still desperately trying to save the others: "Your qualifications are average, if Yang Luochen hadn't brought it back, I wouldn't have bothered to let you enter the tower."
"You know a lot of secrets of Haotian Tower, and you can't let you get out alive, so you have to conduct some trials, so as not to waste the resources of Haotian Sect."
Yan Xintong's face was pale, and she knelt in front of the Nine Elders and kept begging, but the Nine Elders just ignored it, and after a while, she said: "I can let them go and erase their memories of Haotian Tower, but you need to do me a favor."
Yan Xintong seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, and she didn't ask anything, she hurriedly agreed, but the Ninth Elder said: "You don't have to rush to agree, you don't have to listen to what is busy before you agree."
"Inside the Great Ding below is an elixir that I am refining, for Yang Luochen's cultivation, but the herb contains highly poisonous"
"The reason why I didn't tie you up is just because I took a fancy to the special nature of your body, and I need you to use your own flesh and soul to cooperate with the antidote pill in my hand to resolve the toxicity inside, and it is very suitable for you to do this."
As he spoke, the Ninth Elder took out a small bottle containing a drop of He Shou Wu's essence blood, and flew in front of Yan Xintong as soon as he threw it, and then said, "As long as you do me this favor, I will let them go, anyway, they are of no use to me at all."
"But you will die, become a part of the elixir, and your god will be destroyed, and you will exchange one for the lives of the other nine, or if you refuse, I will kill the nine of them, and then force you to take the antidote pill and throw it into the medicine pod"
"Choose one of the two, you decide for yourself, if you are willing, the effect of the antidote will be doubled, if I force it, it will not have the expected effect, but it is enough, anyway, Yang Luochen eats it, and it is not a big deal if you have a little side effect."
Yan Xintong was silent, looking at the small bottle in front of her stupidly, and the other nine dummies who were tied up cursed on the side, which was exactly the same as what they said, and even Yang Luochen couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
With a wave of the Ninth Elder's hand, all the rescued people who were tied up let out a wail, spitting blood from their mouths and fainting, Yan Xintong hurriedly picked up the small bottle and hurriedly said: "I'll eat and I'll eat, you let them go, please."
The Ninth Elder said slowly, "Then eat, I'll wait."
Yan Xintong slowly stood up, opened the small bottle, no matter what was inside, raised her head and swallowed it, and then said to the Nine Elders: "I hope you don't break your word, otherwise I won't let you go."
The Ninth Elder replied lightly: "Where is there still a chance to be a ghost when the gods are destroyed, there is no need for me to deceive you, a junior."
Yan Xintong slowly walked to the edge of the platform, looked at the venom tumbling in the big ding below, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, and slowly asked, "Does Childe know about this?"
The Ninth Elder replied: "He is in retreat, there is no need to know, I have the final say on your stay or not, if you want him to know that you sacrificed the pill with your life, I can tell him for you, but I also want him to take the pill."
Yan Xintong replied coldly: "No need, I am willing, and I ask you to keep it secret."
The Nine Elders nodded, Yan Xintong glanced back at the other nine people who were unconscious, jumped down, and fell into the Great Ding, a miserable cry sounded, the skin all over his body festered, and the flesh and blood melted into the potion.
Yang Luochen finally couldn't sit still now, and got up to go to the rescue, but was stopped by Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan whispered: "Master, the Ninth Elder won't let you make a sound, have you forgotten?"
Yang Luochen clenched his fists, a breath of anger was held in front of his chest, Yan Xintong's miserable cry gradually weakened, where did Yang Luochen still believe that this was a trial, and it was clear that it was the person's life to go to alchemy.
The true qi of the whole body couldn't help but burst out, and he was about to rush over to rescue Yan Xintong, but he found that he couldn't move at all, he couldn't even make a sound, and those true qi returned to his body, he knew that this was made by the Nine Elders, and only the Nine Elders in the Haotian Tower had such ability.
Seeing Yan Xintong die in front of him, Yang Luochen couldn't do anything, two lines of tears came out, a wave of hatred welled up in his heart, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Yan Xintong's screams disappeared completely, Yang Luochen knew that he was dead, closed his eyes, but the voice of the ninth elder came, "Yuan Yuan, go and fish her out and put her in the small ding below the big ding"
Yuan Yuan agreed and left, Yang Luochen opened his eyes, only to see Yuan Yuan standing on the edge of the big ding, his true qi stretched into the big ding, and after a while, the branches wrapped around Yan Xintong's body came out.
The body was wrapped in green leaves, but Yang Luochen could see that he was no longer angry, his face was dark green, and he was festering.
Yang Luochen turned his head, Wan Niang was still calmly making tea on the side, seeing Yang Luochen's hateful look, she said slowly: "He Shou Wu's essence and blood, flesh and bones, can't die, Yuan Yuan came back, you asked her."
Yang Luochen still didn't believe that Yan Xintong was still alive, and then looked at Dading, Yuan Yuan had already arrived under Dading, there were nine small dings, Yuan Yuan casually found one to put Yan Xintong in.
Yang Luochen used his spiritual eyes and saw clearly that the elixir soup inside Xiaoding was milky white, and it also exuded a rich aura, and his heart suddenly became puzzled.
Last night, Yuan Yuan returned to the pavilion on the hillside and said to himself: "Those poisons are really poisonous, they can turn people into white bones in an instant, fortunately He Shou Wu's essence and blood are protected, otherwise they would have become scum a long time ago, what else to catch"
Yang Luochen couldn't speak now, his body couldn't move, he could only use his spiritual eyes to look at Yan Xintong, but he found that the dark green color on Yan Xintong's face gradually faded, the festering skin began to repair, and the spiritual fluid in Xiao Ding also began to change color.
The milky white color receded and gradually turned green, and Yang Luochen also saw Yan Xintong's faint snort, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.
Suddenly remembered that the Nine Elders had said that they should improve their physique so as not to delay time, and then recalled what Wan Niang said before, He Shou Wu's essence and blood, flesh and bones.
Immediately understood the intentions of the nine elders, the hatred in his heart disappeared, and a burst of shame appeared on his face, Wan Niang said slowly: "Seven emotions and six desires are the common feelings of people, emotion is the true temperament, in other words, it is just a loss of reason and a daze."
Yang Luochen very much agreed with Wan Niang's words in his heart, but how difficult it is to cultivate the state of mind, if you don't experience it yourself, it is difficult to say that you can maintain your sanity at any time, especially when the important person in your heart is in danger.
Yuan Yuan asked, "Wanniang, what are you talking about?"
Wan Niang replied: "You are still young, you don't understand, but you'd better go to the edge of Dading and wait, someone is about to fall in, you have to fish"
Yuan Yuan was reluctant for a while, but he still got up and flew towards Dading, the Nine Elders had already come to the platform where Yun Zhengqing was, the same rhetoric, the same tricks.
Yun Zhengqing didn't mean to beg for mercy, he swallowed He Shou Wu's essence blood, walked to the edge of the platform, and said slowly: "Life is not happy, death is not bitter, I hope you don't break your word"
Like a strong man, he jumped down after speaking, and the miserable scream sounded again, Yuan Yuan was really scary to look at it up close, Yun Zhengqing wanted to fish it when he fell in, and the ninth elder suddenly appeared beside her to stop it.
When Yun Zhengqing was silent again, the Nine Elders asked Yuan Yuan to fish, and the same miserable situation, the same wrapped leaves and put it into the small tripod under the big ding.
Then there was Shen Yue, who fought with the Nine Elders at the beginning, but unfortunately it was not a level of competition at all, and he was beaten half to death by the Nine Elders, and in the end, he could only swallow He Shouwu's essence blood, climbed to the edge of the platform, and plunged into the Great Ding.
Zhou Taihe has mediocre qualifications, is known for his strength, and has no outstanding performance in martial arts, and he is not very famous in the rivers and lakes, he is very inconspicuous, but now in the face of the life and death of his former brothers, he is extremely calm.
After taking the drop of He Shouwu's essence blood, he jumped into the Dading without hesitation, and Zhou Taihe and all kinds of things in the past also appeared in Yang Luochen's mind.
When Yuan Yuan fished out Zhou Taihe, Yang Luochen thought in his heart: "This kid, who is usually silent, thinks that his personality is weak and does not match his body type, but in fact, he just found the kindness in his heart."
Zhou Taihe just fished it out, the nine elders had forced Tian Zhuo to the end, and Yuan Yuan was waiting on the edge of Dading to catch the next one, the two cooperated very tacitly, when the last one was fished out, the next one would fall in.
Tian Zhuo is a little famous in the rivers and lakes, the phoenix feather arrow is superb, often people do not show up, the feather arrow has taken the head of the person, unpredictable, and it was once a nightmare for the people in the rivers and lakes.
The Nine Elders' methods of dealing with them are the same, but there are some changes in the small details, and they can always make them conform in a few words, whether it is coercion or temptation, they all give them some reasons that they can't refuse.
Tian Zhuo also jumped off the platform and fell into the Great Ding, the Nine Elders had already found the next Pang Hanfei, and Yuan Yuan was waiting for Tian Zhuo on the edge of the Great Ding.
Pang Hanfei has a strong personality and has the will to die unyieldingly, but the Nine Elders grabbed his weakness, he wanted to commit suicide, but the Nine Elders trapped him first and cut off the right hand of one of the nine dummies.
Next is Ai Yiming, Yang Luochen's influence on him is that he loves to read, likes to soak with the literati on the rivers and lakes, goes to the chess hall to find someone to play chess when he has nothing to do, and sometimes goes to elegant places to talk about poetry with others.
If it weren't for his strong martial arts, viciousness, and fame in the rivers and lakes, many people would think that he was a scholar at first sight, and he was powerless.
Ai Yiming responded to a sentence, the one who knows the times is Junjie, he knows that he can't fight the Nine Elders, and he also knows that there is no way out at all, not only did he not fight for it, but he also signed a gentleman's agreement with the Nine Elders, and he took He Shou Wu's essence and blood, and made a farewell poem.
"In the past, the blood shadow shocked the world, and now the immortals reject me, and I am chic for half a lifetime, why not exchange me for nine people. Go and go."
After speaking, he jumped and entered the big ding, Yuan Yuan was not surprised, and looked at the opportunity to prepare to fish him up.
Wan Niang smiled and said slowly: "These friends of yours are really interesting, some beg, some resist, some hate, some resolute, and now there are still people who write poems."
"But Yuan Yuan's girl is playing again, I think she has changed from the original fear to playing, just like frying something in a frying pan, waiting to come out of the pot, this is not a good thing"
Wan Niang's description is indeed appropriate, Yuan Yuan watched Ai Yiming's continuous struggle, not only did he not feel compassion, but he looked forward to it.
Next is Miao Ze, this fat boy is so funny, at first he thought that the Nine Elders were joking, whenever it happened, it was not until the Nine Elders flew the dantian of the nine dummies that he was tied up, that Miao Ze realized the seriousness of the situation.
However, he is not the kind of person who immediately gives in or begs for mercy, and he is still bargaining with the Nine Elders, as if he is doing business, until the Nine Elders choke the neck of the fake Yan Xintong, Miao Ze gave in.
Before he died, he also took out all the belongings of his body, and the gold and silver treasures all over the ground, jade agate, said that he asked the nine elders to leave them with the living expenses for the rest of his body when he let the rest of the people go.
In the end, he also told the Nine Elders where the money was hidden outside, and asked the Nine Elders to tell me to take it out and give it to the others.
