Chapter 36: Jeonju Jin Family, Zhuji Dan, and Blood Demon Trial
Li Mu hid in the shadows, carefully allowing himself to make any noise.
Dozens of zhang away, the conversation between the two seemed to have just begun, and Li Mu heard the Huafan disciple say, "How many years has Senior Nephew Xue been in the house?"
Xue Chucai's voice was faint, and he didn't seem to have any respect for this "uncle": "It's almost three years, what does Uncle Shi mean by asking?"
The white-robed disciple let out an exclamation: "Tsk, it's amazing." The master and nephew have been in the field for less than three years, and with no one to guide them and lack of resources, they have actually cultivated to the realm of the Innate Great Perfection, which is really a rare talent in a hundred years. ”
"Uncle Shi has an overreputation, could it be that you invited me here just to praise your qualifications?"
"The master and nephew are so refreshing, it's not like the consistent evaluation of you by the people in the sect", the white-robed disciple seemed to have some meaning.
"How is the evaluation of the downwind, there is no need for Uncle Shi to advise. I just don't know why Uncle Shi suddenly invited me here?"
The white-robed disciple gently broke off a branch and chewed it in his mouth. He still looked light-hearted, and said lazily: "Senior Nephew Xue is a disciple of the Xue family in Quanzhou City of the Great Qi Kingdom?"
Xue Chucai's body leaning against the tree suddenly straightened, and his tone was a little stiff: "How did Uncle Shi know about this?
The white-robed disciple slapped his palm, smashed the branch, and said faintly: "Senior Nephew Xue, do you still remember the Jin family in Quanzhou, Jin Yueyi?"
Xue Chucai still seemed to be a little unclear So, after hearing the name Jin Yueyi, Li Mu saw that his figure trembled obviously, and then returned to normal.
He said in a cold tone, "Why does Uncle Shi care so much about his private affairs?"
The white-robed disciple said unhurriedly: "Senior nephew don't be in a hurry, don't you have the patience to answer a few words from your senior uncle?"
Xue Chu could only hear the threat in his words, and he also cared very much why this person would know about him, so he had to reply, "Remember." ”
"Why did the master and nephew kill her?" The white-robed disciple's tone seemed to be resentful.
Xue Chucai asked rhetorically without backing down: "What does this matter have to do with Uncle Shi?"
"This matter naturally has something to do with me, the nephew of Master Jin Ming who was killed by you, but before he died, he begged me to avenge his beloved daughter. ”
Xue Chucai showed a sudden look and muttered, "No wonder he is so desperate that he will die with me, it turns out to be the father of that slut." ”
The white-robed disciple asked, "So, the senior nephew admitted that he killed Jin Yueyi?"
After Xue Chu understood what was going on, he showed an indifferent expression. He said to the white-robed disciple, "I'm afraid Uncle Shi didn't come to me for revenge for an irrelevant person, right?"
The white-robed disciple slapped his palms and praised with a smile: "The senior nephew is really very smart, since this is the case, the senior uncle will not go around the corner." You give me the elixir and talisman you got from Jin Yueyi's hand, and I don't care about it, what do you think?"
Xue Chucai laughed: "I thought there was really a cultivator like Uncle Shi, who was willing to come forward for an irrelevant dead person." But it turned out to be for the things on me, but Uncle Shi has not thought about whether he is qualified to have these?"
The white-robed disciple put away his smile and said in a gloomy tone: "It seems that the senior nephew is very confident in himself, and the senior uncle was originally afraid of the sect's commandments, so it is inconvenient to make a move against you." But since my nephew took the initiative to offend me, it is reasonable for my uncle to punish you lightly. ”
As soon as the words fell, the words in this man's mouth gradually gathered a fireball glowing red from his hand. This fireball was the size of a goose egg, floating above the palm of the white-robed disciple's hand, looking beautiful and dangerous.
As soon as the white-robed disciple's voice fell, Xue Chucai quickly took a few steps back and made a defensive posture.
The white-robed disciple looked at Xue Chucai, who was like a great enemy, and said coldly: "Senior brother, don't you think that you can compete with me with just one innate? If you repent at this time, you will have a chance to do it again, otherwise don't blame Uncle Shi's subordinates for being ruthless." ”
Xue Chucai squinted at the fireball in the hands of the white-robed disciple, and without saying a word, he took out a piece of yellow rune paper that looked extremely old from his arms and injected true qi into it.
In an instant, with Xue Chucai's body as the center, a transparent golden bell-shaped shield appeared. The light on the shield flowed, and countless tiny sigils flashed back and forth, looking extremely mysterious.
He said to the white-robed disciple in a faint voice, "If Uncle Shi wants something on me, let's break the shield of this 'Golden Light Talisman' first." By the way, I would like to remind Uncle Shi, although this talisman has been obtained by me for a long time, but it is the first time I have used it, and if Senior Brother wants to wait for my talisman paper to run out, I am afraid that I will disappoint you. This talisman can at least continue to provide me with a shield for at least three days, and if an elder of the sect sees you besieged by your nephew like this tomorrow, I'm afraid Uncle Shi will not be able to explain it. ”
After Xue Chucai finished speaking, he sat on the ground as if he had nothing to do, closed his eyes and vomited.
The white-robed disciple had obviously heard of the name of this "Golden Light Talisman", and with his strength, he could not forcibly break through the shield of this talisman at all. He gritted his teeth and unwillingly threw the fireball in his hand towards Xue Chucai.
The fireball that had gathered powerful energy lightly touched the shield in front of Xue Chucai, and without any sound, it disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea. The shield didn't even move, and Xue Chucai inside was even more unharmed, unaffected.
The white-robed disciple gasped, he didn't expect that the defensive power of this golden light talisman was several times more exaggerated than the rumored Chinese medicine, and although the fireball he sent out casually was not very powerful, it was easy to burn a tall building. But on top of the shield formed by this rune paper, it didn't seem to have any effect at all.
He looked at Xue Chucai, who had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and slapped a big tree beside him with some hatred. The big tree, which was hugged by several people, made a wailing sound under his palm, and then slowly fell, smashing to the ground, crushing several smaller trees.
The white-robed disciple had no choice but to say to Xue Chucai: "Senior nephew Xue, I don't want the rest of the things, are you willing to transfer that Zhuji Dan to me?"
Li Mu, who was not far away, heard the name of this elixir, and his eyes were so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground. No wonder after hearing the news, this person left in a hurry regardless of the matter of presiding over the competition. and did not hesitate to break the door rules, but also to kill people and seize treasures. It turned out that on this Xue Chucai, there was a Zhuji Dan that a mortal disciple dreamed of!
Li Mu had seen some descriptions of this Zhuji Dan in the classics of the sect before. This pill is a kind of pill that cultivators who have cultivated to the stage of great perfection and are preparing to build a foundation must take in the process of breaking through the realm. Depending on the person's qualifications, the amount of consumption varies depending on the person's qualifications. There are even some extremely gifted cultivators who don't need to take this pill at all to try to build a foundation. But for most cultivators, the lack of talent makes them desperately want this Tsukidan.
The refining of Zhuji Dan is very difficult, the materials are difficult to find, and a few of the elixirs are only produced in a region under the jurisdiction of the demon clan in this realm. In order to obtain these elixirs, one must go deep into the hinterland of the demon clan. Moreover, because the two clans had an agreement in advance, if a cultivator above the golden pill entered their respective territories without authorization, it would be regarded as admitting that one side had declared war on the other. Therefore, if you want to obtain these elixirs, in addition to buying them from the demon clan at a very high price, you can only pass the "Blood Demon Trial" once every thirty years, stand out in this trial, and collect these elixirs.
The "Blood Demon Trial" is a cruel testing ground set up by the human race and the demon race. The two clans agreed that in the year of the trial, the five factions of the human race would pay a certain price and send a number of one hundred mortal stage disciples to the depths of the demon clan to take the elixir needed to build the foundation.
In this process, the three major demon clans also sent a hundred "Yuan Demons" of the same realm to interfere with the disciples of the five sects of the human race.
Because the area where those elixirs grow is quite vast, after the two hundred human races and demon clans enter it, they will definitely scatter. When the two sides meet, they will do their best to defeat or even kill them.
In the "Blood Demon Trial", regardless of the death or injury of the juniors on both sides, the elders of both sides who went to preside over the trial were not allowed to intervene.
And generally speaking, the lower the realm of the two sides, the more advantageous the demon race has over the human race. Therefore, there is a provision in the "Blood Demon Trial", that is, if a Terran disciple can survive in this trial for a month, then he will be given one month of free time to collect medicine. The Blood Demon Trial lasted for half a year, but the Terran disciples who could survive to the end were often less than one percent.
For no other reason, these demon clans always have a special sense of the human race within a certain range, so no matter how you hide, you will inevitably be discovered by the demon clan passing by. Therefore, if you want to stop for half a year and collect enough elixir, in addition to your own strength, luck also accounts for a large part.
Since its establishment, the "Blood Demon Trial" has lasted for thousands of years, and there have never been any twists and turns, and it can be regarded as a fig leaf for the apparent peace of the two clans. The Terrans want to get more elixir to refine the Zhuji Dan in this way, and the Demon Race wants to strangle the geniuses of the Terrans and hone their own children in this way, so both races are trying their best to maintain its continuity.
This trial is so cruel, but there are still countless geniuses who are eager to do it. There is no other reason than the generous reward after successfully passing. One of the rewards for this is Tsukidan.
This shows the preciousness of Tsukidan. Ordinary mortal disciples, if they don't pass the blood demon trial, if they want to obtain a Zhuji Dan, they have to prepare tens of thousands of spirit stones before they can buy one from the Fang Market. Moreover, the Zhuji Dan sold in those markets is more than inferior in terms of medicinal power compared to those issued by the sect.
But the Zhuji Pill in Xue Chucai's hands, whether it was a "pure pill" refined by the sect or a "miscellaneous pill" that was left behind, was enough to put this white-robed disciple in danger.
At this time, seeing that he couldn't help Xue Chucai, he could only surrender his identity, begged for good words, and wanted to buy it.
