The shock from the human leaders
: "Wow..."
Looking at the plate of the demon king's blood in front of her, which was so dark in color that it was a little black, Qin Ruqing couldn't help but take a step back.
Unfortunately, she had just come out of the cave of origin rules and had been a flaming tiger in the illusion for a long time.
Now, seeing the blood of the flaming tiger demon king, the scene of her own crystal core being dug out and blood being taken flashed in her mind subconsciously, and she instinctively took a step back.
After stepping back, she remembered that she was a human, and forced herself to stay still.
——The style of the mission in this trial tower seemed to be different from what she imagined.
You have attached words like "trial tower" and "slave", and the mission you want the trial takers to do is so "peaceful"?
Just asking people to drink a basin of demon blood?
Of course, for Qin Ruqing herself, she thought that drinking the blood of beasts was a big test for her.
Among the various cultivation resources of human beings, there are indeed those that use the blood of beasts, and this is also a high-level cultivation resource.
Most of the available methods are used to refine pills and make medicines, using the medicinal properties of various spiritual plants to neutralize the violent energy in the blood. Only a few people apply the blood on their bodies, but most of them are physical cultivators.
The very few people who dare to drink it directly must be extremely scarce in cultivation resources and have a strong desire for strength, so they choose such a desperate way. The representative figures are mostly casual cultivators who lick blood on the tip of a knife.
As for Qin Ruqing herself, she has never even taken pills, let alone used beast blood.
Moreover, she had just come out of the cave of origin rules not long ago, and her memory of "Meihu" was still very fresh. So she was asked to drink the essence of Meihu's people, which would really create a great psychological burden.
"It's hard not to suspect that the person behind this question was intentional!" Qin Ruqing sat down in front of the plate of essence, holding her chin, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"So now, drink it or not! Look at the options, A, drink it - perfect effect, B, apply it on the body - barely useful... Tsk, this option is too guiding, is there any other choice?"
Unless you don't want to complete the task.
"The main thing is that this essence seems to be very useful..."
The essence of the ancient king-level monster, just hearing the name, you know how precious it is. The task description also directly mentioned that taking it can strengthen one's physique and help improve the power of controlling the rules of fire attributes.
Both of these points are very tempting to Qin Ruqing.
She is a magic cultivator, and being able to use the blood of a king-level demon to help her strengthen her physique is equivalent to making up for her shortcomings.
Qin Ruqing struggled for a long time and finally made a decision. She stood up, stared at the dark red blood for a few seconds, and then raised the basin to drink it down.
As soon as the blood entered the body, it was like a fire burning, instantly burning through her limbs. Then there was a violent energy rushing through the meridians, and finally rushed straight to the brain.
With Qin Ruqing's ability to endure pain, she couldn't help but shout, and then covered her head.
...In this blood essence, there are actually remnants of the demon king's spirit. Although it has lost consciousness, it will destroy instinctively.
Qin Ruqing was almost driven insane just now, but fortunately she was careful and had the habit of using her life fire to guard the spirit altar for many years.
After casting a spell to destroy the remnant soul of the beast king, the pain in her body gradually eased - not that there was no pain, but it was controlled within the range that Qin Ruqing could bear.
The Trial Tower quieted down, and a beam of light hit Qin Ruqing. In the deep darkness, a hollow armor was quietly staring at her.
Qin Ruqing gradually lost the concept of time, and she didn't know how long it had been before she gradually woke up.
She stood up and looked at her hands first, then her consciousness gradually returned, and then she showed a bewildered look with a hint of confusion.
Because this kind of king-level fire-attributed monster blood is a great tonic for her, Qin Ruqing feels very good now. The
reason why she is confused is that she feels that the world she "sees" is a little different from before.
Qin Ruqing is keenly aware that these slight differences are reflected in the perception of the rules.
"Could this be a manifestation of the improvement of the control over the rules?" Qin Ruqing guessed, but she felt that something was wrong.
Before she could think about it, the armor that looked like an NPC at the beginning finally reappeared.
Qin Ruqing became serious and said, "I have made my choice."
The blue will-o'-the-wisp in the eyes of the armor flickered: "Trialist 946, please tell me why you made this choice."
"Please answer honestly. If you lie, you will lose the qualification to escape from the Trial Tower."
This made Qin Ruqing, who was originally trying to make up a lie, stuck. This time, she thought seriously for a long time before lowering her eyes and saying,
"Because, I want to become stronger. Drinking the blood can relatively make up for my shortcomings... As long as it does not violate my basic principles as a human being, I will not refuse anything that can help me become stronger and is good for me."
Just like this time, Qin Ruqing did feel a little awkward after drinking the blood of the Flame Tiger Demon King. It might be because she had been a "Meihu" in the illusion for a long time, and now the time to withdraw was too short, which caused her to have a moment of "shame" when she just drank the blood. It
was quite ridiculous, wasn't it? She was a human, and drinking the blood of a beast was just something to be ashamed of.
Qin Ruqing admitted that this might be a slight influence of her experience as a Meihu, and she did not reject this influence. However, even though she realized this, she did not hesitate at all when she drank the essence and blood just now.
She was indeed a little ashamed - but this shame was not enough to offset her desire for strength.
After listening to her explanation, the armor did not make any comments, but only mechanically and calmly said: "The answer of the trial participant 946 has been recorded. Do you want to continue to the next task?"
Qin Ruqing replied: "Yes!"
Qin Ruqing went to do the next task with a calm mind, but outside the Immortal Tomb, it was as if a pot had exploded.
The powerful people guarding outside the Immortal Tomb just got a piece of news.
- Qin Ruqing came out of the Cave of Origin Rules. Oh, and then she went to Xuanming again.
Does coming out mean elimination or passing the level?
If it means passing the level, it's too scary! You have already gone through three holes in the rules so far. Could it be that you can inherit all three Taoist traditions?
People have always been reluctant to accept things beyond their own cognition. Even these high-ranking human beings who are shrewd and wise in decision-making, when they see the changes in the names on the rankings, will subconsciously infer that Qin Ruqing has failed the inheritance trial.
- She must have been teleported out because she failed. This can also explain the strange phenomenon of why she can enter so many holes of rules.
As for why her name is the only one on the ranking list that is shining with golden light, and even flashed again just now... These powerful people turned a blind eye to this choice, or put it on hold for the time being.
The reason is simple: it is more friendly to their acceptance.
This is the mainstream meaning, but it is inevitable that there are individual voices of opposition.
The one who is more optimistic about Qin Ruqing is Feng Qinxue. She has said twice that this girl is likely to have passed the first few holes of rules. Although it was strange, the fact that the inheritance choice could be opened was unexpected in itself, so it was normal for many strange things to happen.
Feng Qinxue put her hands on her chest, raised her red lips, and smiled at Diwu Sheng:
"Fifth Patriarch, your young patriarch didn't have any problems in Yuansheng? I saw that the girl from the Qin family went in later, but came out first... Could it be that she is more powerful than Youlin?" After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Diwu Sheng maintained his meditation posture, but his brows were tightly wrinkled. He was worried about Youlin's situation, and he was already very upset. Now that the Feng family came to stab him, he was even more upset.
"Director Feng, be careful with your words! What happened to Qin Ruqing has nothing to do with You Lin in our family. She was able to get out first because of her ability."
Feng Qinxue said, and smiled even more deeply, "I remember that this girl was invited by the Fifth Family to open the seal of the Immortal Tomb, and they specially took her to Penglai for training. Who would have thought that such a change would happen in the Immortal Tomb? Now it seems that the Fifth Family has a deep foundation and the training is quite effective. Look, that girl is able to surpass a group of Tianjiao, and even comparable to You Lin..."
The eyes of the people around him were vaguely sweeping here.
Who can't hear that Feng Qinxue is exaggerating in the open, she is just mocking the Fifth Family for being pecked in the eye by the house sparrow and picking up a stone to hit their own feet.
Sure enough, the Fifth You Lin's defense was broken.
He snorted, swung his sleeves and stood up, "Qin Ruqing was trained by my Fifth Family, so she is half a member of our Fifth Family. If she can get better, the Fifth Family will naturally be happy to see it. As for You Lin, Director Feng will not bother with it."
"Moreover, according to Director Feng's statement, our Lingyu just came out of the Xuanming Rules Cave. I guess he had a fight with the noble Mingyue. I don't know who won or lost between the two... Feng Mingyue shouldn't lose, right?" The one
who comes out first will definitely win. According to this argument, didn't your Feng Mingyue lose to my Fifth Family?
The Fifth Sheng didn't say anything shy. Look, he started to fight back.
Feng Qinxue's expression really changed, "Fifth Lingyu? Not everyone can compare to Mingyue in my family!"
It was rumored that the son of the former patriarch of the Fifth Family was gifted when he was young, but his temperament changed drastically after the death of the former patriarch. He started to play games and his status in the Fifth Family gradually became embarrassing. When he grew up, he was demoted to the remote place of Xiling in the Southern Region. After that, he never showed any outstanding qualities.
Oh, yes, Feng Qinxue admitted that the boy had a good appearance, but comparing him with Mingyue was an insult!
The two great figures of the immortal level had a verbal dispute because of Qin Ruqing.
This is normal. Guarding the Immortal Tomb, because of fear of unusual movements, he dared not go far. Even if he went to Guixu to investigate the situation, he would be back in a few days, and at most he would go to Shouze to take a look.
In this way, it is inevitably boring. Once you get bored, you can't help but find something to do. With so many high-level officials from aristocratic families gathered together, there were some who liked each other, and naturally there were also those who didn't like each other. The bickering was just a way to pass the time.
Everyone didn't take this incident seriously, but when they closed their eyes and meditated again, they couldn't help but look at Qin Ruqing's name.
...In fact, the fifth clan leader is right. Coming out first does not mean winning. It may not have any symbolic meaning.
Otherwise, she has already passed through three rules holes. It would be too scary if she came first every time.
-In
the Cave of Xuanming Rules, Qin Ruqing was about to take on the second mission, but the armored NPC gave her something.
Qin Ruqing twisted it up and put it in front of her eyes, "One, a small blue pill? What's the use?"
And this color always gives people a bad association.
Armor said: "Take it, it will help you complete the task."
Qin Ruqing: "Then, can I not take it?"
My mother taught me not to take medicine randomly since I was a child.
Armor said concisely: "Yes."
Wow, you said that and I dare not not take it.
Armor: "Please make a decision as soon as possible, tester 946."
Qin Ruqing made up his mind, closed his eyes and swallowed the pill.
I have never taken drugs since I was a child, and taking it once in a while... shouldn't be a bad thing.
