"Since there are people lying in ambush outside, why don't we go and invite those independent cultivators over? That would also be a force, at least it could be used as bait."
When Lu Xuanping saw that Mu Yongqiu shared the same idea as him, he agreed immediately.
Mu Yongqiu took the opportunity to offer him some mana-recovering pills, "My Yimu body has some ability to control plants to explore the surroundings, so I can't explore the surroundings."
"But this behavior consumes a lot of mana. Brother Lu supports it."
Lu Xuanping frowned and asked, "Can't you absorb Yimu Qi to recover?"
"This is different. To regenerate a broken limb, you need to go through a period of recuperation each time you use it. The powerful effect also means strong side effects. The lost vitality needs a long time to recuperate, and during this period, your own recovery ability will decrease rapidly."
"Besides, absorbing Yimu Qi has a very slow recovery effect on mana, but it is good for recovering from injuries."
"So that's how it is." Lu Xuanping himself had no shortage of mana, so he handed him a bottle of second-grade elixir [Huiyuan Pill]. Each pill of this pill was worth one thousand spirit stones, and each one could restore 50% of the mana of a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building in a short period of time.
Mu Yongqiu took the pill but did not swallow it. Instead, he asked, "How are the spiritual medicines distributed?"
Lu Xuanping narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that Mu Yongqiu's ideas were similar to his own, and spoke softly.
"Brother Mu, what do you mean by that?"
Mu Yongqiu chuckled, "There are so many spiritual medicines in the secret realm, and we have encountered so many hardships. Why not take some of them down? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"After all, we took a big risk before we came in. Those families have already encountered this situation and are satisfied with harvesting most of the spiritual herbs. Taking a little will not reduce the overall amount. The way of cultivating immortals is to fight for something. It's not that you have to fight everywhere, but if you don't take a little here, it will be a shame to take the risk!"
Lu Xuanping seemed to hesitate and said, "This is not good!" He seemed to have a righteous look on his face.
Mu Yongqiu knew that Lu Xuanping agreed as soon as he heard it. He said silently in his heart, "You should know that I was seriously injured this time, and the treatment was quite exhausting. You also consumed a talisman. Take some of it as my medicine fee and your talisman fee. The rest can be said to be left in the secret realm."
After hearing this, Lu Xuanping said that some medical expenses were reasonable.
Although Lu Xuanping could earn spirit stones by refining pills, human lifespan is limited. Although cultivators have longer lifespans, when he spends his time refining pills, he will naturally ignore the advancement of other technologies, especially swordsmanship. It was strange to think that the girl in red could use swordsmanship that was comparable to talismans.
If he had a large amount of spiritual herbs, he could also escape from the boring and repetitive process of alchemy and conduct some in-depth research on elixirs.
The two of them first discussed their statements and compared their confessions. As for how much each of them gained, only they themselves knew how much they had embezzled.
After discussing everything, Mu Yongqiu closed his eyes and began to cast a spell.
"Listen to the whispers of the jungle and help me find..."
Looking at this strange detection technique, the grass and trees seemed to be dancing like people. Although Lu Xuanping didn't understand how this was done, he was also shocked. The detection range was at least ten miles. Lu Xuanping envied it, but this kind of body constitution could not be forced.
“Found it.”
Afterwards, Lu Xuanping took Mu Yongqiu to look for independent cultivators everywhere. After six hours, they finally found all the independent cultivators in the entire secret realm. Of course, this ability can also be used to find herbs, so they also looted all the herbs in the secret realm.
Lu Xuanping and Mu Yongqiu landed at the altar in the center of the secret realm, both with very serious expressions.
The reason is that the spirit of the Qi-cultivating cultivator he met at the beginning was normal, but the last six cultivators he met were very abnormal.
When they approached the invitation, they even took the initiative to attack Lu Xuanping and the other two, but the methods of these people were very ordinary. Their attack was like that of monsters in a secret realm, only attacking and not defending. Lu Xuanping noticed their eyes, which turned red, and finally he had no choice but to kill them.
As for the conscious cultivator, who claimed to be a disciple of Feiyu Sect, he spoke wildly and even said, after hearing Lu Ping claiming to be from the Lu family, that it was a shame that Chongming Zhenren, who founded the Lu family, betrayed the sect, and that the Grand Master was nearby.
After listening to this, Lu Ping understood him directly. Mu Yongqiu didn't say anything after watching this scene. After all, the Mu family came from outside the Whirlpool Sea, and the Lu family came from the Feiyu Sect. The Feiyu Sect and the family forces had long been at odds. They were all discriminated against, and there were those who understood it, but there were still many people who held on to the glory.
He clearly understood this situation where he couldn't please both sides.
The location of the altar.
Mu Yongqiu kept five bloodstains and exchanged the remaining bloodstains for medium-grade blood essence and kept them well. On the way, the two men discussed that all the bloodstains belonged to Mu Yongqiu, who originally had thirty bloodstains on his hands.
"What's going on with these people? They seem to have lost their minds. We broke the legs of the last person, sealed his spiritual energy, and he was determined to kill us. It's like he was possessed by evil spirits. The book records that people lose their minds or are possessed by demons when they are possessed by evil spirits. But how could such a good person suddenly become possessed by demons?" Mu Yongqiu couldn't figure it out.
When Lu Xuanping heard this, he suddenly remembered something about "the blood-colored spiritual energy in the air."
Lu Xuanping used all his strength to activate his spiritual eyes and observe Mu Yongqiu, and then suddenly held Mu Yongqiu's right hand. Seeing Lu Xuanping suddenly holding his hand, Mu Yongqiu suppressed his instinct to fight back.
"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"
Lu Xuanping only saw through his spiritual eyes that Mu Yongqiu's body was covered with tiny blood-colored spiritual energy, but he found nothing unusual when he felt his pulse.
"Have you ever checked your body, or have you absorbed any spiritual energy from the outside world?"
Mu Yongqiu was stunned by Lu Xuanping's question. "What are you talking about? Who doesn't need to absorb spiritual energy to restore mana?"
Lu Xuanping shook his head. That was not what he meant. "Check your body first."
Mu Yongqiu listened to this and examined it carefully. Suddenly, he found that his whole body was filled with blood-colored spiritual energy, especially the arm that had just been regenerated.
"What's going on?" When Mu Yongqiu went to investigate, a murderous aura seemed to rush into his soul, and murderous intent was rolling in. He seemed to want to rush over like those people just now.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Lu Xuanping watched him from the side and was on alert. If anything went wrong with him, he would have to apologize.
Mu Yongqiu's whole body began to tremble, his muscles bulged, and sweat poured down, but in the end he still did not move.
Lu Xuanping asked two questions when he saw this. If the blood and energy entered his body and he completely lost consciousness, he would not answer.
Mu Yongqiu was breathing heavily, only his eyes were still a little red, and he asked tremblingly, "What on earth is this?"
Lu Xuanping only said that he found that his jade pendant could purify poison gas, and it was very likely the same as poison gas.
"This secret realm is really weird," Mu Yongqiu smiled bitterly.
"What do we do now?"
"What should I do? I don't know what to do now. Those Qi Refining cultivators consume more, absorb more, and are also the first to fall into the devil. I may explode later than them because I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but I feel that if I have more time, I may not be able to hold on. If I have a strong will, I can hold on for a while, but I don't think I can last more than a day.
Lu Xuanping expressed helplessness, his ancient cloud jade pendant could only support himself. Moreover, even if he knew, it would be useless if he didn't keep absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy. Because in his opinion, Mu Yongqiu was seriously injured, and recovery consumed a lot of spiritual energy. If he wanted to recover from his injuries, he naturally needed spiritual energy to assist, and his Yimu body also required a lot of spiritual energy for treatment.
"Then we can still move. Break through and find a way to escape. Otherwise, the longer you are exposed to the spiritual energy, the more blood-colored spiritual energy you will have. Then you will be dead." Lu Xuanping said fiercely. "Is that so?" Mu Yongqiu smiled bitterly, "I can only hope that there are still trees after I get out, otherwise..."
At this moment, Lu Xuanping suddenly remembered that his great-grandfather had given him a few Demon-Destroying Thunder Beads, saying that they could break the filthy energy of the devil. He thought about it and took out the Demon-Destroying Thunder Beads and placed them in front of Mu Yongqiu.
Mu Yongqiu's face was full of questions, "Brother Lu, what's this?"
"This is the magic-breaking lightning bead that our clan treasures. It can remove filth. Do you want to try and see if it can remove the blood-colored spiritual energy in your body?"
"How do I use this?"
"Of course, you should stimulate it directly. You should find a way to force the blood-colored spiritual energy into a corner. Then I will use the Devil-Breaking Lightning Bead to attack that place and see if I can clear some of it."
Hearing this, Mu Yongqiu's mouth twitched.
Seeing that Lu Xuanping really had such a plan, and thinking of the scene when he was filled with murderous intent just now, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"In that case, I will force this blood-colored spiritual energy onto my left arm first. Brother Lu, please be careful and don't let it affect other parts of my body."
"Don't worry, I still have a bottle of rejuvenation pills here, and I'll give it to you when the time comes." Lu Xuanping promised.
After an incense stick of time, Mu Yongqiu's left arm turned red, and some steam came out. Seeing this, Lu Xuanping directly used the Devil Breaking Thunder Bead. After activating it, a golden-blue lightning covered his arm with a "crackling" sound, and the red on his arm seemed to dim slightly.
