The monk was knocked to the ground and rolled several times, spurting out a mouthful of blood, making his face turn pale.
But he still gritted his teeth and stood up, his eyes showing a fierce look. He slapped his storage bag, took out a yellow talisman, and roared at Xue Kong: "Fellow Daoist, don't push me too far."
"Although I am no match for you, if you insist on killing me, I will fight to the death and drag you down with me to hell!"
Xue Kong looked calm as he glanced at the yellow talisman. The yellow talisman looked very ordinary at first glance, but he was not careless. He thought that something that could be used by a desperate person to threaten others should not be underestimated.
Xue Kong smiled and said, "I just want to ask what kind of magic weapon is that purple tripod you are chasing."
The monk stared at Xue Kong intently.
Naturally, he would not believe Xue Kong's nonsense. If he just wanted to find someone to ask out of curiosity, there was no need to kill him directly. At that moment just now, he clearly felt the coming of death.
However, being watched by Xue Kong, he knew very well that if he did not explain himself, the other party would not let him leave. When he took out the talisman to threaten him, the two of them had a falling out.
Now that the other party has asked a question, it is giving him a way out. If he does not give in, I am afraid there will be no peace.
Sometimes, even if there are only two people, face is a very important thing.
Of course, this was just the cultivator's own idea. Xue Kong didn't care much about face. In his heart, he was still thinking about how to kill him and steal his talisman.
The monk pressed one hand against his chest, suppressing the injury, and with the other hand, he held the talisman, ready to detonate it at any moment. He said, "I don't know what kind of magic weapon that tripod is."
"When I saw it, those people were already fighting for it. I think a magical weapon that can fly on its own must be of a higher grade than the Heavenly Grade."
"If that magic weapon was personally refined by the Demon Lord of the Treasure Mansion, it might even have produced a weapon spirit, and it is a magic weapon of the highest spiritual grade."
"The best spiritual weapon." Xue Kong hadn't heard of this grade of magic weapon for a long time. In the entire Jingwu Kingdom, perhaps only on the Demon Island could one see the best spiritual weapon.
Among the tools used by monks, the lowest quality ones are called magic weapons.
Magical weapons are divided into four categories.
The lower grade of mortal level, the middle grade of earth level, the upper grade of heaven level and the best grade of spiritual level respectively correspond to the four stages of cultivation among cultivators: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul.
If it goes higher, it is no longer a magic weapon, but another grade.
Among them, the first three categories are still just ordinary treasures, but when they reach the level of the best spiritual treasures, the magic weapon will change and may produce a spirit.
The spirit of the weapon lives in the magic weapon. Ordinary spirits have weak consciousness and only obey the orders of the owner of the magic weapon. Some spirits have the ability to sense crisis and will actively avoid danger.
The small purple tripod could fly and avoid being snatched by monks. It really fits the description of the best spiritual magic weapon in ancient books.
"I have already told you everything about the magic weapon. You have seriously injured me, so I have no chance to snatch it back. I will leave now. Goodbye."
The monk looked at Xue Kong's face, trying to see through his thoughts. Unfortunately, Xue Kong remained calm. After hearing what he said, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for telling me."
As he spoke, Xue Kong turned around and looked at the purple cauldron in the distance, as well as the group of cultivators chasing after it.
What the monk didn't see was that Xue Kong's vision was not focused. In his hand, there was a green wooden spider puppet, which fell along his body, fell to the ground, and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing Xue Kong turn around, the monk breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Although this man is powerful and behaves strangely, he is a man of his word."
"It's a pity that I was injured by him, otherwise I would definitely be able to fight for that magic weapon!"
"The grade of that small tripod must be above the top grade of heavenly grade! Damn it! If this person hadn't ruined my plans, how could I have missed it." The cultivator glanced at Xue Kong's back with resentment.
Then he turned around and walked away, using his cultivation to suppress his injuries, and disappeared into the forest nearby.
Xue Kong waited for a moment in silence.
Not long after, the spider puppet reappeared at his feet, crawling from his trouser legs to his hands, bringing with it a storage bag.
Xue Kong didn't look at the storage bag first, but looked at the spider puppet with a look of admiration in his eyes: "This mechanical puppet is much more loyal than a living being."
"The only pity is that the demon soul inside is almost completely consumed, and I don't know how to replenish it. Judging from the remaining demon soul, I'm afraid I only have three more times to control it."
"In the future, we should use it sparingly."
One of the reasons why Xue Kong likes corpses and puppets is their unwavering loyalty. Even if they are destroyed, they will not betray him.
Whether it is a servant, a slave, or a pet, they may betray themselves because of the temptation of interests and various desires.
Xue Kong would never allow such a hidden danger to stay with him.
Even though it was the immortal fetus demon seed, this domineering creature with control power beyond the soul and blood, Xue Kong still did not bring Jiuxing Lian'er and Bai Mian with him.
After putting away the spider puppet, Xue Kong looked at the storage bag. He took away all the other things except the yellow talisman, which he took out and held in his hand to examine carefully.
However, as he watched, Xue Kong suddenly laughed: "I thought I had a hundred years of cultivation experience, but today I couldn't even see through the tricks of a Qi Condensation cultivator. This thing is actually fake."
That yellow talisman was just an ordinary speed talisman. Apart from increasing the running speed a little, it had no destructive power.
The monk's statement that he wanted to die together with Xue Kong was just a lie to intimidate Xue Kong.
After putting away the magic talisman, Xue Kong shook his head. Although he was fooled, he did not think there was anything wrong with his caution. He could only say that the monk was indeed smart and quick to react, which was why he was able to deceive him.
Judging from the results, Xue Kong not only did not lose anything, but instead got the other party's storage bag and this...yellow talisman.
If the same thing happens one day, and because of a lack of caution, the other party detonates a treasure that can really kill him and him, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
On the contrary, from this point of view, Xue Kong felt that his caution was indispensable. Even an ordinary Qi Condensation cultivator had such reaction and quick thinking, which was enough to show that there were countless heroes in the world.
Xue Kong would not be so arrogant as to think that he was the one who could look down on the world.
"That's all."
Xue Kong shook his head: "The so-called Heavenly Dao Foundation, even the Immortal Lady has been pursuing it for so long with the help of the power of the Three Immortal Dao Sect and has found nothing, how can I possibly find the secret alone?"
"I was too greedy."
"Heroes are everywhere in the world, so we should proceed with caution on this Demon Island and not be complacent in the slightest."
"Let this final step of cultivation enter the foundation-building stage."
Xue Kong's eyes flashed, and the cultivation that had been suppressed for a long time was released at this moment. The surging spiritual power hit his spiritual sea, causing it to surge and swell.
