Chapter 372: The Cold Marrow Appears
After being attacked, Xiao Ziyang immediately reacted, this planet is not a lifeless barren land.
At the same time, he immediately realized that the life that could thrive on such a harsh planet would definitely not be a weak person, just like the creature that attacked him just now, although he was a little slack, but as a Jindan monk with a strong divine mind, within a radius of ten miles, was shrouded in his divine sense.
This strange beast can be killed by Erzhu's sword casually, which shows that it is no more than a fourth-level demon beast at most, and it can actually hide Xiao Ziyang's divine sense, which is obviously peculiar.
After realizing that he was too careless, Xiao Ziyang immediately cheered up. He bent down to take a closer look at the strange alien monster.
The whole body of this monster beast is as transparent as crystal, and the internal structure of his body can be clearly seen through the skin, its body is fusiform, and there are eight spider-like limbs on both sides of the body, but they are much thicker and more powerful than the spider's limbs.
At this time, it had been split in half, and the transparent body fluids flowed all over the ground, and the strange thing was that these body fluids on the White Tiger Star were unbearable for the foundation building monks to bear, and there was no sign of freezing!
Xiao Ziyang squatted down, sniffing lightly with his nose, and he smelled a strange fragrance that was vague but incomparably clear. He used his fingers to gently dip a little of the beast's bodily fluids, and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff the message.
Zhang Li, who was behind the smell, also squeezed forward, reached out and dipped a little body fluid, sniffed it for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why is this smell so similar to cold marrow?"
Hearing what Zhang Li said, Xiao Ziyang suddenly understood. Why did he feel a sense of déjà vu with this strange scent, but he couldn't remember where he smelled it?
Xiao Ziyang is not proficient in alchemy, so he is familiar with many alchemy spiritual materials. I learned about the information from books, but I haven't seen the real thing.
The cold marrow is a detailed introduction in the jade slip classics collected by the Great Snow Mountain Sect. Although he had experienced this fragrance from the illusion recorded by the jade slip, after all, he had never seen the real thing, and the impression was not deep, which was why he felt that this strange fragrance was familiar, but he couldn't remember smelling it there.
Cold marrow is one of the spiritual materials that every ice cultivator desires the most. Even if it is a raw suit, it can be of great benefit to an ice monk, and if an ice monk has a drop of cold marrow, when he is about to run out of mana when he fights with others. If you take it, even if you are a Jindan monk, you will be able to recover most of your mana.
The cold marrow does not pollute the ice mana in the slightest.
If it is well prepared, the ice monk will take a drop of cold marrow. Slow refining. It is enough to be worth the kung fu of Jindan monks meditating and practicing qi for several months. This thing can also help the ice monks break through the bottleneck, in short, the cold marrow is simply a dose of magic elixir for the ice monks.
Even with so many benefits, there is absolutely no monk who is willing to destroy the heavens and subdue the cold marrow.
The biggest function of the cold marrow is alchemy, and among the pills that Xiao Ziyang knows about the Dao, there are more than 30 kinds of elixirs that use the cold marrow. There are all kinds of elixirs from the foundation building to the Jindan period, and each of them is the best elixir that is well-known in the cultivation realm. Of course, the cold marrow is only one of the many adjuvants needed for the Tian Sui Pill, but this does not detract from the high value of the cold marrow.
As one of the most versatile elixirs, the cold marrow is an unattainable and sky-high price for the Jindan monks!
Although the smell was very similar, Xiao Ziyang and Zhang Li didn't believe that this demon beast's body fluids really contained the precious elixir of cold marrow.
On the one hand, the grade of this demon beast is too low, but it is only a fourth-level.
Second, although it exudes a clear and strange fragrance similar to cold marrow in its body fluids, the taste is extremely light. Once the real cold marrow is exposed to the air, its rich and clear fragrance will spread dozens of miles away in a few breaths, causing the ice demon beasts that smell this strange fragrance to come madly! Therefore, mining the cold marrow is generally to cut off the whole piece of 10,000-year-old ice that has cold marrow.
Thirdly, and most importantly, this cold marrow only grows in the depths of the 10,000-year-old Xuan Ice, and I have never heard of such a thing being produced in the body of a demon beast.
Xiao Ziyang thought for a moment, and was about to put the finger dipped in the body fluids of this demon beast into his mouth. Murong Ling, who didn't expect to come up, grabbed his arm and said coquettishly: "Why do you dare to put anything in your mouth, what if it's poisonous?" besides, ......" She pointed to the corpse on the ground that was broken in two and said, "Besides, such a disgusting thing ......"
Xiao Ziyang smiled dumbly after hearing this, and said: "For monks, the so-called poison is actually nothing more than some poisonous alien aura, those poisons that will destroy the body's functions for mortals, most of them have no effect on monks, my purple jade mana is good at devouring all kinds of aura, and it can be said to be the nemesis of the world's poison, so don't worry, as for disgusting...... If this thing is really cold marrow, even if I am asked to eat this thing whole, I am willing. ”
When Murong Ling heard this, he grinned, made a disgusting expression, and turned his head to ignore him.
Xiao Ziyang shook his head and smiled, then took the finger dipped in the body fluids of the demon beast into his mouth, and instantly a faint, but very clear, incomparably clear and cold feeling spread from the tip of his tongue, and after a while, this feeling rushed to his brain, and in an instant, his entire mind seemed to have been washed by the clear spring water, extremely sober!
Xiao Ziyang's eyes widened instantly, this feeling is one of the effects of the cold marrow! It is also one of the most important characteristics of the cold marrow, the reason why it has become an indispensable adjuvant in the immortal elixir "Tiansui Pill" is because of this characteristic.
The process of the Jindan monk giving birth to the primordial infant is like hatching another self, a new soul, in this process, the monk will produce a lot of hallucinations, and even attract the attack of the demons, and this characteristic of the cold marrow can make the monk at this time stay awake as much as possible, and try to reduce the chance of provoking the demons!
Zhang Li saw Xiao Ziyang's expression, and couldn't help but dip a little transparent body fluid into his mouth, and after an instant, the same expression as Xiao Ziyang appeared on his face.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw ecstasy in each other's eyes.
Even in an auction of such a specification as the East China Sea Festival, it is eligible to be one of the finale items, and every drop is worth hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.
The cold marrow contained in this demon beast's body may be insignificant, but it is only a fourth-level demon beast! Fourth-level demon beasts, even the most precious fourth-level demon beasts, will not be worth more than a thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Even if it takes a hundred of these demon beasts to gather a drop of cold marrow, the value of this demon beast can reach tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, far more than ten times that of a fourth-level demon beast!
Of course, this is not the reason for the ecstasy of the two, tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones are not enough to make the two of them lose their temper so much. They all thought of a possibility at the same time, isn't this cold and terrifying environment here the best environment for the formation of 10,000-year-old ice, and isn't it the most likely place for the cold marrow that only grows in the 10,000-year-old ice?
So, did this strange beast happen to have ingested the cold marrow and hadn't had time to digest it yet?
In the cultivation realm, the higher and rarer the material, the less likely it is to appear in the hands of a low-level monk, and this truth is actually suitable for demon beasts. Some rare spiritual materials are often not yet mature, and there are powerful demon beasts waiting for them, and it is impossible to get them without going through a tragic battle.
Now, such a weak demon beast can get the cold marrow, does that mean that the yield of the cold marrow in this place is extremely high?
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at the corpse of the demon beast on the ground with some regret, if they didn't kill it, but captured it alive and planted a tracking spell on it, wouldn't it be ......
The two of them couldn't help but want to put down their work of digging the cave and catch the same demon beast again to see if it also had cold marrow in its body.
However, the powerful threat of Chengtianmen made the two of them have no choice but to give up this tempting idea.
Xiao Ziyang grabbed a piece of solid ice from the cave, carved it into an ice box, and put the demon beast in it, even the ice slag on the ground that was stained with the body fluids of the demon beast.
The thick ice, the hard rock, under the magic sword controlled by the four Jindan monks, were like tofu.
Even so, it took the four of them three full days to dig out the cave, and they dug too deep!
Xiao Ziyang and several people took a fancy to this snow peak, in addition to its abundant aura, mainly because of its geographical location and bloated appearance.
This snow peak is located on an ice field, there are no other mountains around, and there is an independent small spirit vein on the snow peak, this kind of terrain, even Xiao Ziyang, a layman, can see that there will never be any spirit minerals, which also eliminates the possibility of them being discovered by the monks of Chengtianmen prospecting.
It is no more than 2,000 zhang high, but at the foot of the mountain covers an area of more than 200 miles, and its shape is about cone-shaped, like a bloated tomb, isolated on top of an empty ice field.
Several people drove the tunnel all the way to the bottom of the mountain, more than 30 miles underground, and the closest place to the ground was nearly 100 miles.
At this distance, if it is above the ground, it will naturally not be able to escape the range of the Yuanying Cultivator's Divine Thoughts, but underground, the distance of the monk's Divine Thoughts will be reduced by ten times, and even the most powerful Yuanying Monks will not be able to find them on the ground!
In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts in the tunnel, when digging the tunnel, they dug very narrowly, and zigzag, like an underground labyrinth, even if a monk with a strong divine mind discovered this tunnel, he would think that it was a cave of some demon beast;
This idea was proposed by Murong Ling and approved by Zhang Li and Erzhu. Xiao Ziyang used to be noncommittal about this idea, he had always thought that this was a lifeless and barren planet, but after being attacked by the demon beast with cold marrow in its body, he immediately changed his opinion.
