Chapter 206: Blood of the Witch, Death but Life
"What is this?"
As a master, Qingpingzi has a keen sense of qi and blood.
When facing the pool of water, I actually had the urge to bend over and drink it. The extremely vigorous energy and blood naturally emanated from the pool, which was very captivating.
"It's a bone. To be more precise, it's a 'celestial bone'."
Qin Chuancheng said frankly, "The so-called forced breakthrough to the Grandmaster level can only be achieved with the help of the power of this immortal bone."
"Immortal bone? I'm afraid that's not certain."
Qingpingzi frowned slightly. Of course, the immortal way has methods of refining the body, but the blood and qi that can be activated and evil to such a degree should not be something that can be practiced by the immortal way.
What is the way to immortality?
There may be many answers, but in the final analysis it’s just one sentence.
Good fortune belongs to you!
Cultivating immortals is to consolidate the foundation step by step and soar upwards. Even the spiritual energy must be refined layer by layer and completely imprinted with one's own character.
If the things left by the immortals were magical instruments, it would be fine, but a piece of bone? It is useless to those with low cultivation, and it is useless to those with high cultivation! "Daoyou, please be patient. The time for this pool is almost up. Wait a little longer and you can take out the bone and observe it carefully."
Qin Chuancheng said seriously.
The three of them waited silently beside the lake. Gu Dan, with his spiritual power far superior to that of ordinary people, kept an eye on the changes of more than a dozen warriors in the lake.
These dozen warriors have all achieved great success in internal organ training, and their Qi and blood have reached their peak, but they are still continuously absorbing the Qi and blood in the pool water. When the Qi and blood are absorbed to a certain extent, their skin turns bright red, and the Qi and blood in their bodies begin to slowly gather and condense.
"puff!"
However, at the critical moment when everyone was gathering, a warrior spurted out blood, his flesh and blood suddenly withered, and he was seriously injured.
“It’s a failure.”
Qin Chuancheng's tone did not change at all. It was obvious that he had seen this scene too many times and was completely accustomed to it.
Time passed slowly, and after about a quarter of an hour, the qi and blood in the bodies of more than a dozen warriors were mobilized to the extreme and began to condense inwards.
In just a short moment, five more warriors failed.
The worst one didn't even have time to put up any resistance. The extremely violent blood and energy in his body tore his muscles apart, and his flesh fell apart, bleeding profusely. It was a horrible sight.
He didn't even have time to scream before he was dead.
Those bodies scattered in the pool seemed to have become nutrients for the deep pool. Within a few breaths, they gradually melted away and disappeared without a trace.
Such a weird scene made Gu Dan frown and feel a little uncomfortable.
For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether the warriors were seeking power from the bone, or the bone was using these warriors as nutrients.
After a while, the blood in one of them finally condensed successfully. The rich and substantial blood in the pool water climbed up and turned into a large blood-colored cocoon.
The familiar manic and violent atmosphere that Gu Dan had faced before was brewing within him.
"One of them succeeded?"
Lian Qin Chuancheng himself was slightly surprised and explained: "Although this immortal bone is good, it is very picky about people. Generally speaking, if one or two out of a hundred people can succeed, it is considered good."
Gu Dan originally thought that Dayong must have some great talents since it could produce more than a dozen masters.
I didn't expect the success rate to be only one in a hundred. The life of a martial artist who has mastered the art of internal training is not that worthless.
Nearly a hundred martial artists who have mastered the art of internal training are enough to kill the grandmaster as long as they are brave and fearless!
It is hard to say whether it is worth it or not if we convert it this way.
However, thinking back to the blood and energy giants summoned by the six masters before, it is no wonder that Dayong spent so much money.
It's just a matter of trying to take a big chance.
His mind raced, and when that person succeeded, all the blood and energy in the pool rushed in. The remaining people didn't even have the slightest chance to resist, and they had no chance to continue absorbing.
The thickness of the blood-colored cocoon was constantly increasing, surrounding the warrior who had successfully condensed, and a special aura was brewing within it.
"Those who fail, get out."
Qin Chuancheng waved his hand and said bluntly.
The warriors in the pool stood up with lost expressions. They had missed the chance to become Grandmasters forever, for the second time.
When the blood faded, the bone placed in the middle of the pool finally revealed its true appearance.
Its shape is irregular, and even its specific parts cannot be identified. It must be a part of a huge creature.
The bone marrow was as crystal clear as jade, with a natural beauty, and inside it were all kinds of blood veins, twisting as if a living thing.
It is not difficult to see from the fracture of the bone that it must have been chopped off, and the fracture is smooth and flat.
The violent energy that was originally revealed was all restrained, as if what was seen before was just an illusion.
Qin Chuancheng walked into the pool, took out the bone, and placed it in front of Gu Dan, "Daoyou, please take a look."
Gu Dan reached out to take it, and was quite frightened when he first touched it.
This bone is extremely heavy, much heavier than the same volume of fine iron. It does not feel cold at all in the hand, on the contrary, it is quite warm.
It looked as if it had just been peeled off.
Looking closer, the blood veins in the bones were indeed constantly flowing and still moving, but after all, they were broken, so the range of movement was greatly limited.
Gu Dan flicked his fingers.
"Dang~"
A sound like the collision of metal and stone was heard.
The blood veins inside were not affected at all.
"What can you see?"
Gu Dan turned his gaze to Qingpingzi. This thing was obviously not of ordinary origin and was something he had never seen before.
"Such broken bones are just the tip of the iceberg."
Qingpingzi looked at it carefully with a serious look in his eyes. "I can't even tell what left it there. But the runes formed by the blood and qi inside it must be a demon beast with witch bloodline, returning to its ancestral state."
"A demon beast with witch bloodline?"
Gu Dan extracted the key point and asked, "Tell me in detail."
"According to the records in the classics, after Wu Yidao died, the Wu clan was also hit hard, but not all of them were extinct. Some of them survived. But those witches were in a very bad situation, their strength degraded, and eventually some of them turned into monsters in order to survive.
The bloodline of the witch only values the physical body, so those monsters with witch bloodline are naturally affected. On the road to immortality, they are usually far inferior to humans and find it difficult to compete.
Therefore, in order to pursue more power, some monsters began to try to gather the blood of witches, return to their ancestors and become witches, and once again possess the power to fight against heaven and earth."
Qingpingzi said hesitantly.
"In order to survive, witches become monsters; in order to gain power, monsters return to their roots and become witches?"
Gu Dan immediately discovered the contradiction.
Why, the witch himself couldn't survive, and the monster wanted to become a witch, so he wanted to die?
This was too contradictory.
“It may be because some rules have changed.”
Qingpingzi said somewhat helplessly.
After all, he was just a master and had never witnessed the splendor of the immortal way with his own eyes.
What's more, myths and legends themselves contain many contradictions and are difficult to justify.
"What are you talking about?"
Qin Chuancheng looked over and said, "This thing is a piece of immortal bone. The power in the immortal bone is quite similar to the blood of a warrior, but it is more powerful. With the help of Dayong's treasure, Tiancheng Water, you can temporarily extract the power from the immortal bone and nourish the body.
But its power is too overbearing and fierce. Even with the buffer of the natural water, when it accumulates too much, it will continue to gather. If you can survive it, you will become a second-rate master. If you can't survive it, you will either be seriously injured or explode and die. "
In Dayue, there are flowing clouds chasing the moon, and in Dayong, there is natural water, both of which are magical.
"Where did this bone come from?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Dan stared at the blood veins inside the bones and asked thoughtfully.
“That goes back a long way.”
Qin Chuancheng was very friendly and told everything he knew. "You should have heard of the Grandmaster's Disaster, right?"
"That's natural."
Gu Dan nodded.
The Grandmaster's Disaster, a chaotic world caused by the Grandmaster's personal power, a crazy and terrifying era.
It gave rise to countless masters and caused continuous tragedies for more than two hundred years.
Thinking back on it today, it still makes my heart tighten.
"Many people say that the cause of the Grandmaster's disaster was that a Grandmaster from a country that was about to collapse assassinated the wise and capable emperor of another country."
Qin Chuancheng pointed at the bone in front of him and shook his head slightly. "The records left in the history books of Dayong say that the real cause of the Grandmaster's disaster was the discovery of a place of immortal relics. In order to fight for the immortal relics, wars broke out frequently, and because the things in the immortal relics spread out, a large number of Grandmasters were born.
This is the fundamental reason for the Grandmaster's calamity. The rest are minor details and not worth mentioning. What drives the Grandmaster's calamity is never hatred, but endless selfish desires. "
"oh?"
Gu Dan was not surprised. The falling stars at night could lead the four countries to attack Dayue. If there were really immortal relics coming out, it would be normal for them to trigger a cholera that lasted for more than two hundred years.
There are only so many things, but the greed in the human heart is endless.
"According to the fragments of records left by Dayong Yu, there were still some cultivators at that time. But those cultivators themselves were not much better than the Grandmasters. They were the main force that discovered the immortal ruins.
Later, when the immortal ruins were dug three feet deep and completely emptied, and even after all the people who gained power from the immortal ruins died, the disaster naturally subsided.
Dayong was founded after the Grandmaster's disaster and has continued to exist to this day. This is the spoils that Dayong's founding emperor obtained from the immortal ruins, and it is still the foundation that protects Dayong today."
Qin Chuancheng said seriously.
"This thing has been used for more than five hundred years?"
Gu Dan was quite surprised. On the one hand, he was surprised at the real reason for the Grandmaster's disaster, and on the other hand, he did not expect that a piece of bone could allow a country to enjoy more than 500 years of heritage.
It's no wonder that people at that time went crazy. The bones alone have been passed down for more than 500 years and can still protect a country today. If there were something else, wouldn't it be a big success? "This bone should have been left by a monster in the Jindan stage, close to the Yuanying stage."
After staring at the blood veins inside the bone for a long time, Qingpingzi suddenly said.
"How do you know?"
Gu Dan asked.
“It is recorded in the classics that during the Nascent Soul stage, one can see one’s true self and all the power will be imprinted on one’s body. Even if only a skeleton is left, it will be impossible for others to use it. Therefore, this bone can never reach the Nascent Soul level. Otherwise, it will be truly self-contained and will not be used by others even after death.”
Although Qing Pingzi had never seen a true Nascent Soul level monster, he had seen it in the classics, "Looking at the blood veins inside, there are signs that it has become a self-contained entity, but it can be absorbed by warriors, even if the conditions for absorption are quite harsh. It should be the Golden Core level, close to the Nascent Soul level.
Even if such an existence dies, the remaining power will not dissipate easily, so it is possible for future generations to obtain it and continue to draw on its power. "
A master can remain intact for a hundred years after death, let alone a golden elixir, or even a strong person close to the Nascent Soul level? With the blood of a witch, the Tao lives on even after death.
Its power is so great that people today can only look up to it.
Even if it was just a broken bone, it would be enough to protect a country for more than 500 years! This is the way of the immortals! Any random thing that was lost outside would be enough to cause bloodshed in the mortal world, and it would make a country prosperous for hundreds of years.
Gu Dan also had a general impression of the power of the immortal way, and immediately asked: "Grandmaster, what level of the immortal way is equivalent to?"
"In terms of strength, a Grandmaster in the mortal world is equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage in the Immortal Path, slightly inferior to a cultivator in the late Qi Refining Stage. However, if one were to burn one's flesh and blood and risk one's life, a Grandmaster would be better."
Qingpingzi said immediately.
Gu Dan remained silent.
The peak of the mortal world can only touch the starting point of the immortal path.
The gap between them is hard to explain with reason! "With the strength you have shown now, it is probably inferior to the foundation building stage, but far superior to the Qi training stage. Every promotion in the immortal way represents a leap forward, and the means you master also increase exponentially.
Although Qi training and foundation building seem to be only one level apart, their life spans are doubled.”
Qingpingzi didn't want Qinchuancheng to take away his position as "advisor", so he added.
"Still can't compete with the foundation building?"
Gu Dan didn't find it that incredible.
It is true that a Grand Master is much stronger than a Grand Master, but the biggest advantage is that his five internal organs have been tempered together. However, if you were to say what the big difference is between him and a Grand Master, other than being able to fly in the air for a short period of time with the help of true Qi, there really is none.
The only problem is that the Grand Master has really reached the limit of the mortal world.
If you want to go further, you will have to face the shackles of the rules of heaven and earth.
The tragedy of Mr. Ji is still fresh in our minds. It is not so easy to break free from the constraints.
"What other use is this bone for, besides giving birth to a Grandmaster?"
Gu was so worried that he finally decided to pursue immortality. In a short period of time, he could not make any further progress in martial arts and needed to develop in other directions.
The practice of medicine to save lives has already begun, and we can continue to explore in another direction.
"Strengthen your Qi and blood to maintain yourself."
Qin Chuancheng pointed at himself and said, "I am an old man of humble origins. I am 132 years old this year."
One hundred and thirty-two years old! This has exceeded the maximum lifespan of a Grandmaster! "But what's the price?"
Qin Chuancheng gently untied a corner of the bandage tied around his body.
The skinny bones were no longer covered with flesh and blood, but a layer of soft armor with a few black scales, which sparkled with strange colors in the sun.
It doesn't look like a human body.
