Chapter 64: The Broken Valley
Chapter 64: The Broken Valley
When Xiao Ling's imperial weapon flew towards the broken valley, after getting away from Senior Brother Yu and the others, Xiao Ling took out the Cloud Breaking Shuttle and sat on top of the Cloud Breaking Shuttle. While distracting himself from controlling the flight of the Cloud Breaker, he was thinking about the gains and losses just now.
Although Xiao Ling lost a lot of money by sharing the treasures with everyone, Xiao Ling knew that he might get more in the future. I don't have any acquaintances in Qingyunmen, the only one who is more familiar is Uncle Ma, and during this time, Xiao Ling also learned that Uncle Ma doesn't have much say in Qingyunmen. And if you want to gain a firm foothold in Qingyunmen, you still need to have your own potential. Of course, those previous disciples are still not eye-catching to Xiao Ling now, but the power behind them should not be underestimated. Turning over to them at this time is equivalent to handing over the forces behind them, so that you will also get some support from these people in Qingyunmen.
Maybe when, if there is any trouble in Qingyunmen, these people will be able to help themselves. So although I have lost some of my possessions now, it is still a little insignificant compared to the future. This is also the reason why Xiao Ling did not hesitate to share those belongings with everyone equally, and brought everyone together.
Of course, one of the reasons for bringing everyone together is because he wants to use these disciples to help him in the Qingyun Sect in the future. But the main reason is that Xiao Ling is a little unaccustomed to this so-called blood test, after all, it is still a little difficult for Xiao Ling to accept the cannibalism of these fellow disciples. Xiao Ling knew that he was not a soft-hearted person, but he was not that kind of ruthless person. Xiao Ling always felt that no matter whether he stepped into the path of cultivation or not, he had to be affectionate. If it is ruthless, even if the cultivation is high, what is the meaning? Therefore, Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, and when he proposed to let everyone form a team, after all, this was the only chance for most weak people to pass the blood test, otherwise, they could only wait to be wiped out in the forbidden land. I think these weak people will also be grateful to Xiao Ling, although they don't necessarily have to get anything in return, but there is always not much bad thing about having more friends.
However, Xiao Ling said that Broken Valley was really looking for people, and what he was looking for was Mei Jue. The reason why I chose to agree on the broken valley at the beginning was also because the broken valley was basically on the periphery of the central area, and no matter where it was teleported, it was relatively easy to come and meet the broken valley again. Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's heart couldn't help but rise with a trace of tenderness. In the past two years, Xiao Ling's mind has also been tempered, and the originally ignorant emotions have gradually become clearer, and he is also more concerned about Mei Jue.
The Broken Valley is actually a small valley, and the whole valley is only a few miles in size. As for what is called a broken valley, no one has verified it for a while, as if someone called it a broken valley from the beginning. However, the name of Broken Valley is still quite big, mainly because there have been a lot of Blood Ink Lotus in Broken Valley before, and it seems that someone will get Blood Ink Lotus here every time there is a blood test. However, there are quite a few disciples who die here in the Broken Valley every time, and this is all because of the competition for the Blood Ink Lotus. It wasn't until later that the competition here was too fierce, so many families and sects always asked their disciples not to come to the Broken Valley anymore. After all, although the Broken Valley has the appearance of the Blood Ink Lotus, the number is also quite limited, with such a large number of disciples, how many disciples can get it? Rather than taking the risk to compete for the Blood Ink Lotus, it is better to go and kill the demon beasts to complete the task.
And now there is an amazing change in the Broken Valley. At this time, there were dozens of people around the broken valley, and these people were all looking at the broken valley, as if there was some strange treasure in the broken valley. At the same time, there are countless bones around the broken valley, looking at the scars on the bones, it is obvious that he has just died. And the faces of these disciples around were full of blood, and they had obviously gone through a hard fight. And the aura of these people is also very unstable, obviously consuming a lot, and they are all constantly absorbing the essence of the essence qi in the Yuan crystal in their hands, while looking at others vigilantly.
In front of everyone's eyes, it is the so-called broken valley, the size of a radius of several miles, and there is a blood-colored pond in the valley, more than 100 zhang in size, and the rich bloody atmosphere continues to emanate from the pond. In the pond, there are several snow-white lotus flowers, which exude a faint fragrance and a faint halo. Obviously, this is the Blood Ink Lotus, I really don't know why Lu Dao gave this name to this lotus, and I can't see what the relationship between the appearance and the name is.
However, judging from the fragrance emitted from this white lotus, it is indeed not an ordinary thing, no wonder it is so valued by so many people. In fact, Xiao Ling also knew the birth conditions of the Blood Ink Lotus. The Blood Ink Lotus is actually not a strange thing born from heaven and earth, but a kind of artificially sacrificed and refined. It's just that the sacrificial process is more bloody. It is said that the Blood Ink Lotus was discovered by an ancient monk, and its method of sacrifice and cultivation should actually be unknown to the lower realm. It is said that there will be people in the fairy world who refine this thing, but most of them are secretly sacrificed, and it will be a bit difficult if someone finds out. And the method of refining it is to arrange a special formation in a top-secret space, and then fill the entire space with bloody qi, so that it will take years and months to have a chance to condense and produce a blood ink lotus. Moreover, the Blood Ink Lotus must be continuously watered by the essence blood of demon beasts or monks before it can be condensed and formed. And the truly formed Blood Ink Lotus will have slender blood threads on it, so that it is a mature Blood Ink Lotus. And its real use is not just medicine, but other uses.
At that time, when Xiao Ling heard that there was a Blood Ink Lotus in the forbidden land, he was already very surprised, and he had already thought of the reason for the blood test, probably to make the entire forbidden land space constantly filled with bloody qi, and at the same time, the blood test every three years was also to let more essence blood continue to water the Blood Ink Lotus. This made Xiao Ling very curious, first, he was curious about how Qingyunmen obtained the refining method of the Blood Ink Lotus, and second, he wanted to know what the purpose of the Qingyun Sect was for refining the Blood Ink Lotus. After all, the Blood Ink Lotus is used for cultivation, and the use of medicine is not too great. However, Xiao Ling was still a little disgusted with Qingyunmen doing this kind of thing, this kind of bloody practice was quite shameful, no matter what the purpose, and the length of time Qingyunmen had spent refining the Blood Ink Lotus, and the scale was also rare in the immortal world.
And the reason why Xiao Ling wanted to go to the Broken Valley was to try his luck and see if he could find some Blood Ink Lotus. Xiao Ling still has a considerable interest in the Blood Ink Lotus, this is a rare and strange thing, he still wants to see it directly, although he doesn't want to get it, but if he can learn about the Blood Ink Lotus on the spot, he still doesn't want to miss it.
Now that the blood ink lotus in front of me looks closely, there are indeed thin blood streaks appearing on it, just like the veins of the white lotus, which is very exquisite. It was obviously a mature Blood Ink Lotus, no wonder these people were fighting so fiercely. But none of these people saw that in the blood-colored pond, there was a faint blood-colored shadow constantly swimming in the blood-colored pond, and from time to time there was a wisp of blood-colored cold that flashed and disappeared.
A red light swept across the sky, like a red meteor, flying across the sky. In the red light, there was a fiery red shuttle the size of several zhang, and Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with light inside. At this time, Xiao Ling had been on the Cloud Breaker for five days, and five days was already very close to that broken valley. Of course, this is due to the reason of the Cloud Breaker, otherwise if you fly by yourself, it will be at least twice as slow. And in the past five days, Xiao Ling also deliberately controlled the speed of the cloud-breaking shuttle, trying his best to avoid the attention of others. However, in the past five days, Xiao Ling has seen a lot of people fighting each other or chasing demon beasts, of course, most of them are just low-level demon beasts. But for these, Xiao Ling didn't care too much at all, for Xiao Ling, the task of the blood test has been completed, and the next thing is to find something that interests him, of course, the blood ink lotus is one.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling's expression in the cloud-breaking shuttle moved. Quickly swept down the Cloud Breaker, put the Cloud Breaker away, released the flying sword, and flew forward. It turns out that this place is already close to the broken valley, which is about hundreds of miles. And if you fly with an imperial weapon, it won't take much time.
At meal time, Xiao Ling came to the vicinity of the small valley. Due to the strong power of Xiao Ling's mind, he found many people around the broken valley from a distance, so he quietly fell down and hid his body. Xiao Ling didn't go directly to the broken valley, but looked around, chose a secret place, and hid himself. Then looking at everything around the small valley, there were originally dozens of people, but now there are hundreds of people. Moreover, there were more bones around. As you can imagine, a lot of things must have happened here in the past five days. However, Xiao Ling didn't know what to do, but when he saw the corpses around the small valley, the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping, and he had a general understanding of the danger that Senior Brother Yu said before.
More than 100 people around the broken valley were a little sluggish at this time, and it was obvious that the consumption was too huge. But the blood red in the eyes of these people was even worse, as if the small valley could stimulate people's fierce aura, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be vigilant when he saw it.
"Senior Brother Cui, you have also seen that there are only five Blood Ink Lotus here, which is not enough for us to divide at all, why don't we each give in and share half of each?"
"Hmph, even if I agree, but there are so many people here, others won't agree!" said the feminine boy with a cold snort.
"As long as Senior Brother Cui agrees, we can join forces, and with the strength of the two of us, it is not too much of a problem to kill these people. You said yes!" The green-haired boy looked disappreliant, obviously not taking the other people in his eyes at all, probably as long as this so-called Senior Brother Cui could make him pay attention to it.
"Even if we join forces, but there are only five flowers here, I don't know how Senior Brother Xing will distribute them? We Cui family are more clear about your Xing family's personality! I don't want to be calculated afterwards. The feminine young man said sweetly, but there was some loosening in his tone.
"This is simple, two flowers for one person, and the remaining one will be grabbed by the two of us with their strength, whose strength belongs to whom, how about it? I think there are a lot of people in your Cui family, and I don't have that much ability to eat you." Besides, our Xing family doesn't want to set up enemies like you, you can rest assured of this. Even if this matter is over, we can continue to cooperate, go to the periphery of the center, and wait for other blood test disciples, and the harvest at that time will definitely not be small. The green-haired boy said with a smile.
"Okay, but the ownership of the last flower is divided in this way, there are forty people on our side, whoever solves it first will belong to whom?" the feminine young man nodded after thinking about it.
"Okay! I have heard for a long time that the Cui family has treasured a lot of secret techniques, and I can see them today, and I am not allowed to go to this forbidden place!" said the green-haired young man with a fierce light in his eyes.
"Hehe, your Xing family is not bad! Let's start here!" After speaking, the feminine young man and the more than ten people around him began to surround the dozens of people on the side.
And everyone who was originally listening to the conversation between Xing Cui and the two couldn't help but change their faces when they heard that the two were going to join forces. One by one, they began to retreat, and some of them moved quickly, and even began to fly.
In the blink of an eye, there were originally more than 100 people left, and more than 20 people from the Xing Cui family remained. At this time, Xing Cui and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Senior Brother Cui, it's still your scheming! If these people really fight with us, even if they can be killed, the price will not be small. Now it was just a fright, and they were scared back, which can be described as a soldier who surrendered without a fight! Senior Brother Cui is really a master. These Blood Ink Lotuses will be distributed according to the previous allocation, two of us, and three will be yours!" said the green-haired young man, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Hehe! Although I came up with the plan, it is also with your Senior Brother Xing, if it weren't for your Senior Brother Xing's prestige, it would be so easy to succeed. The feminine young man said with a faint smile.
"What kind of prestige, it's just some murderous name! Senior Brother Cui just said it directly, I don't mind. Let's go and pick the Blood Ink Lotus. The green-haired boy smiled and said disapprovingly.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards the valley with their companions.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile as he watched these people walk towards the broken valley, but there was a hint of weirdness in his laughter.
