Chapter 142: Valley of the Hundred Poisons (I)
Today is the third day that Ning Xu has been in the Valley of a Hundred Gu, and it is also the third day that the melon-eating system has been temporarily offline due to system upgrades.
The memory goes back to three days ago.
That day happened to be the one-year anniversary celebration of the renovation of Laurel House.
A year ago, the first big promotion event of Yueguilou was a great success. On that day, there were many cars and horses, and guests were coming and going, making it very lively. The turnover that day reached a terrifying eight-digit figure. Several male and female models were busy all day.
There was a wealthy woman who spent a huge amount of money to book Brother Snake's entire day.
Brother Snake's hourly wage was not low to begin with, and the rich woman contributed more than half of the spirit stones to the day's turnover on her own. Later, the rich woman went directly to Ning Xu and said that she would spend a large sum of money to redeem Snake Brother.
At that time, the melon-eating system laughed loudly, and said sarcastically and viciously that the rich woman had met true love in a brothel, and said that she was so naive at her age.
Snakes are the coldest-blooded creatures. How could they abandon their wise masters and leave with a strange rich woman?
Naturally, it didn't work out. Once business hours were over, Snake Brother was too lazy to even smile at the rich woman, making it clear that he was not interested in her, but the rich woman just loved his high-class world-weary face.
To Ning Xu's surprise, the rich woman was not the only monk who made this request that day.
That day, a male cultivator offered to redeem Hu Yao, but was immediately scolded by Hu Yao with a cold face. Hu Yao loudly expressed his loyalty at that time and said that he would serve Ning Xu for the rest of his life. At this moment, it was as if a switch was turned on, and the other male and female models also spoke up, saying that they would only follow Ning Shu for the rest of their lives.
At this moment, the customers realized how determined they were and gave up the idea of redeeming them.
The melon-eating system sneered at that time and said that this group of people thought that redeeming the male and female models would give them a stable future, but they didn't know that it was blocking their way to wealth and ascension.
Blocking someone from ascending to heaven is irreconcilable. It would be strange if that group of demons would treat them well.
The demons operating in the Laurel Tower are not weak and pitiful creatures. Ning Xu did not sign any unfair terms with them, so they can leave at any time.
But this group of monsters would not leave even if Ning Xu drove them away.
They just stayed.
After the first year's reward activities, Yueguilou became completely popular. The event was so successful that it could never be replicated in other entertainment venues.
The forum for the three thousand cultivators to communicate was filled with posts about Chuiyuegui Tower, and even Ning Xu, the owner of the tower, was mentioned many times.
The monk who missed the thank-you event slapped his thigh in frustration and dominated the forum, saying that he regretted it. Later, Ning Xu came forward and said that the thank-you event would continue to be held the following year. Only then did the monk stop making trouble.
Because of the good reputation in the first year, the customer flow in the second year's reward activities doubled compared to the first year.
The entrance fee to the main building of the Laurel Tower is not cheap, but the monks are rushing to the main building like crazy.
A year passed, and there were more monsters in Laurel Tower, and the number of male and female models increased to more than one hundred each. Their fees are not cheap, but there are quite a few monks who are willing to spend a fortune on them.
The melon-eating system clicked its tongue twice at that time, saying that there were many suckers in the world of cultivation.
Quite a lot indeed.
Everyone rushed to give Ning Xu money.
The siblings Shennv and Shenqi also came this time to contribute to her sales.
Wu Luchen's grandfather also came to join in the fun. After Ning Xu asked Elder Wu to entertain them well, he and Si Yan set out for the Valley of a Hundred Gu.
During this year, her cultivation successfully rose to the Spirit Transformation Stage, satisfying the requirements to enter the Valley of a Hundred Poisons.
Of course, this is not a hard requirement. Cultivators at or below the Nascent Soul stage can naturally go, but they are more likely to be controlled by poisonous insects. After all, there are more than a few hundred kinds of poisonous insects in the Valley of a Hundred Poisons, and some of them are so terrible that even cultivators in the Fusion stage are troubled.
For a cultivator with low cultivation level to go there is no different from seeking death.
At that time, the melon-eating system was about to be upgraded. According to the melon-eating system, it wanted Ning Xu to enter the Valley of a Hundred Gu later, at least until the upgrade was completed.
But Ning Xu knew very well that one day she would have to rely on her own strength to explore the new world, and she couldn't always rely on the melon-eating system.
Now, the melon-eating system needs to be temporarily offline for upgrades. What if it is directly untied from her in the future?
By then, will she still be able to practice independently?
Therefore, while the melon-eating system is offline, Ning Xu plans to hone himself.
The new map, Valley of a Hundred Gu, is very suitable.
However, after she left the melon-eating system, there was no problem for the time being. However, Si Yan, who came in with her, got into trouble.
He was bewitched by a great demon that followed them into the Valley of a Hundred Poisons.
This Gu is a bit dangerous to cultivators in the fusion stage, but not that dangerous.
Logically, Si Yan should not have much problem dealing with this poisonous insect. He is fully capable of suppressing it until it is forced out of his body. But unfortunately, his consciousness was crumbling.
Therefore, this poisonous insect became a big trouble for him.
The reason for his unstable mental state was Si Zang.
Back then, Si Zang was besieged and killed in the Endless Sea. He was unwilling to disappear like that, so he left a way out for himself.
I don’t know what method he used, but in any case, he was reborn in Si Yan’s body and merged with Si Yan’s consciousness.
Although Si Yan is his reincarnation, they have different consciousnesses.
This process of consciousness fusion is extremely dangerous and not foolproof.
The most obvious sequelae is that the mind is unstable and there is a risk of collapse at any time.
It just so happened that Si Yan was so good at disguising himself on weekdays, always acting as if there was nothing wrong with him, which led Ning Xu to discover his problem only at this moment. This is not a small problem at all. I don’t know how Si Yan usually pretends that nothing has happened.
After he was poisoned by the Gu, his already unstable consciousness became even more confused, and his sea of consciousness was like a sea surface with a category 10 hurricane, with surging waves that could collapse at any time.
It is urgent to destroy the "Spiritual Consciousness Gu".
Ning Xu didn't know why the big monster wanted to attack them, and the melon-eating system was not there, so she could only put this question aside for the time being and turn her attention to Si Yan.
At this moment, his eyes were closed and his face was calm, but Ning Xu knew that his sea of consciousness had been turned upside down.
She spoke, her tone steady and with a reassuring power, "Si Yan, can you hear me?"
"If you can hear me, I want to tell you that I plan to enter your sea of consciousness and help you kill the poisonous insect."
A trace of fluctuation appeared on Si Yan's originally calm and peaceful face.
Entering into the other person's sea of consciousness is a relatively private matter. On ordinary days, this is equivalent to spiritual communication.
However, the current situation is special and cannot be compared with the past.
Si Yan's sea of consciousness at this moment was as chaotic as the end of the world of cultivation.
Ning Xu didn't think too much about it and just treated it as normal. And because the situation was urgent, she didn't have any other thoughts in her mind except to eliminate the poisonous insect.
If the melon-eating system wasn't offline right now, it would have been eating sugar like crazy.
Not only does it support the couple, it also says a few dirty words to celebrate that the couple it supports has taken a crucial step.
Unfortunately, it is not online now, so it is not available for the time being.
