Chapter 82 The Legend of Ten Springs
After the magic power left the body, it turned into magic energy, and the sword edge suddenly glowed yellow.
The four-winged spider king already possessed a certain degree of intelligence. A human-like look of surprise appeared in his eyes. Then his abdomen turned red as if burning with flames, and a blood-red light came out of his mouth.
“Bang!”
The blood-red light was split apart by the powerful sword.
The tip of the sword fell, and the Four-Winged Spider King raised a silver-white spider leg like a metal spear to block it.
The spider's legs were chopped off.
The four-winged spider king was thrown backwards, screaming "gu gu" from his mouth, and then flapped his wings and retreated into the spider group.
Li Weiyi wanted to chase him, but after regaining his sanity, he was hit by pain all over his body, the Six Desires Talisman on his chest began to flicker again, and his consciousness became drowsy. Thinking of Shi Liuyu who had been locked up in the wolf den for two months, he shuddered all over and quickly searched for the pills he brought with him.
Take out one and swallow it quickly.
Looking forward, there were dense swarms of flying white spiders. Where was the Four-winged Spider King? The purple Cistanche deserticola plant, which was eight or nine hundred years old, was several miles away. In his current state, it was simply unrealistic to kill the spiders and go back to pick it.
"Forget it, come back another day. Let's go!"
Li Weiyi waved his hand and rode on the giant half-real and half-virtual camel to chase after the small boat that had drifted a few miles away.
The seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings fought and retreated, always holding off the swarm of flying-winged white spiders chasing from behind, leaving countless spider corpses in the underground river.
Return to the boat.
Li Weiyi put the giant camel into the evil camel bell, and finally couldn't hold on anymore. His legs softened and he almost fell on the boat. Only then did he find that there was a finger-long wound on his thigh torn by the four-winged spider king.
Fortunately, I was wearing soft armor of corpse cloth on my upper body, which protected my vital parts.
"The four-winged spider king's fighting power is definitely comparable to that of a Wuhai Realm cultivator. It was lucky that he survived this fierce battle. For a Yongquan Realm cultivator to cross a large realm and fight back, it is really as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Li Weiyi propped himself up and sat down, quickly mobilizing the magical energy in his body to flow along the silver veins to heal his injuries.
The seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings were as brave as seven phoenixes in this battle. While he was recuperating, they stayed behind. In the end, they killed so many spiders that they dared not pursue them.
After coming back, they were very arrogant. They lifted the ghost flag that wrapped Yao Yin and pounced on it to eat the Cistanche that was emitting a red glow.
His whole body exudes an aura of "If I don't eat, who else is qualified to eat?"
…
One day later.
Yin Twenty-four sat cross-legged on the stone platform on the shore of the spider cave exit, practicing breathing techniques. Beside him was a blood-glowing gem, which illuminated the stone walls on all sides of the blood river like a magic lamp.
The boat was tied to a stalactite column below.
Hearing the unusual sound of water, she suddenly opened her eyes: "How could it be so fast?"
Yin Twenty-four had never experienced the Seven Springs Trial, so he didn't know the specific situation in the Spider Cave. But he knew that anyone who could pass the trial would take at least three days.
“Crash!”
A flat boat about six or seven meters long slowly moved forward with the flow of the water.
Li Weiyi sat alone at the bow with his back straight, closing his eyes to heal his wounds. The silver veins in the Fengfu Yongquan acupoint had been born one by one, stabilizing his state.
The number of veins in the body increased to ninety-six.
Although it is still not as good as Baimai Quanyin, the gap is getting smaller and smaller.
“Bang!”
The two boats collided with each other and the hulls shook.
Li Weiyi let out a long breath and looked at the slender and tall figure standing on the stone platform on the shore: "Three days went by so quickly, I thought only two days had passed."
"It's less than two days. How did you do it?"
Hidden Twenty-Four flew down to the boat and saw the mess on the boat with Li Weiyi and Yao Yin. He was slightly surprised and asked, "You were attacked by a swarm of spiders?"
She knew that the Seven Springs Trial tested one's mental quality and ability to withstand pressure. If one did not alarm the spider swarm within three days, one would be able to come out alive. Once the spider swarm was alarmed, all would die inside.
The small boat was filled with the corpses of white-winged spiders and a large amount of spider silk.
Of course, the ghost flag, evil camel bell, Cistanche deserticola, and Phoenix Wing Moth King had all been collected by him long ago.
"It was indeed a fierce battle, and extremely dangerous." Li Weiyi said with lingering fear.
Yin Twenty-Four re-examined Li Weiyi. No wonder Yin Five mentioned him in particular. This person was indeed not a simple person and must have a big secret.
They tied the two boats together and headed back.
Li Weiyi asked, "These spider corpses and spider silk should be exchanged for precious medicine, right?"
"Can."
Standing at the stern, Yin Twenty-four looked at Yao Yin, who was still frozen like a block of ice, and asked curiously, "You didn't take this opportunity to kill your biggest competitor? Those who are soft-hearted or greedy for beauty will not survive to the end."
Li Weiyi no longer considered anyone in this group as an opponent. He was too lazy to respond to this question and instead lowered his voice and asked, "Would you like to do business?"
Yin Twenty-Four was stunned for a moment.
I only heard the other party continue: "Inside the spider cave, there is a precious medicine that is nearly a thousand years old. If you and I work together, we will definitely be able to collect it."
The number of flying-winged white spiders is so huge that Li Weiyi believes it is difficult to deal with them alone.
Moreover, he was not sure if there was only one Spider King inside. What if there were other dangers? There were other Spider Kings?
It would be a good idea to get the Five Seas to cooperate with you.
Yin Twenty-four was slightly moved, but soon his face turned cold again: "The precious medicine in the trial ground is a reward for the trial participants, and the hidden people cannot pick it. Besides, you are a Seven Springs martial artist, what qualifications do you have to cooperate with the Five Seas martial artists?"
"I'm an insect tamer. Otherwise, how do you think I fought my way out of the spider swarm?"
Li Weiyi wanted to persuade Yin Twenty-Four, and said, "The precious herbs in the trial ground can't be picked by Yin people, but there is no rule that Yin people can't enter the trial ground, right? You just do the work, and I'll pick them!"
She didn't know how the person in front of her survived the siege of spiders, but she knew that there were a huge number of white-winged spiders. If she was trapped in the spider cave, she would most likely die even with her level of cultivation.
Besides, she was a Five Seas Realm, a Hermit, so why would she cooperate with a Seven Springs Martial Artist? It was simply a huge joke.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Li Weiyi had to give up persuading her and decided to wait until his cultivation reached the Nine Springs or Five Seas Realm before picking the fruits.
The boat returned to the river valley where the entrance to Jiuli Insect Valley was located.
After landing, Li Weiyi took the spider corpse and spider silk to the mountain gate of Jiuli Hidden Sect to exchange for precious medicine, and left Yao Yin to Hidden Twenty-Four.
Before leaving, Li Weiyi was still a little unwilling, and he persuaded Yin Twenty-four again: "That is a plant of Cistanche deserticola, which weighs a hundred kilograms. It is a large amount and easy to divide. Its value is at least comparable to ten other precious medicines of the same year. It can replenish yang and blood. You have only broken through to the Five Seas Realm for more than a month, so it can help you replenish your blood and temper your body."
"Of course, you must not pick them by yourself. It's very dangerous. There is a four-winged spider king in it."
Li Weiyi saw that Yin Ershisi was really moved, and immediately began to worry that he would be kicked out, so he said: "I will definitely go again. If the Cistanche deserticola is picked, it must be your doing. I will find Yin Jun to report you... You should think about it first..."
Yin Ershisi stared at Li Weiyi's back as he carried the boat away, with black lines on his forehead.
What a rebellion! A trial-taker who didn't know whether he could survive until next month actually dared to threaten the hidden man.
The gate of the Hidden Gate is located deeper in the direction of the Mind Power Stone Wall and the Medicinal Food Room, and is guarded by an old man in black. Like the old man who made the food, he is a hermit of the past sixty years.
When Li Weiyi saw him, he respectfully called him "Elder".
“Bang!”
He put down the boat that he was carrying on his shoulders.
When the gatekeeper saw the boat full of spider corpses and spider silk, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing and exchanged the three precious medicines for him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
These are three 200-year-old silver grasses that can help refine the silver veins.
Li Weiyi frowned and asked, "Is there any precious medicine that can help refine the golden veins?"
The old gatekeeper's cultivation was far superior to that of a little girl like Hidden Twenty-four. He smiled and said, "You are really ambitious. This golden vein is known as the dragon vein in a martial artist's body. Even if you can refine only one, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation in the Five Seas Realm and Dao Seed Realm."
"The Hidden Sect does have a gold vein tempering method, but it requires extremely high physical strength, which is difficult for martial artists at the Yongquan realm to achieve."
Li Weiyi asked: "How strong should the physical body be?"
The old gatekeeper pointed to an iron pillar standing not far from the mountain gate and said, "That is the Five Seas Pillar, a heavy weapon of the highest order. It weighs 5,500 kilograms. Only a Five Seas Realm martial artist can lift it with their physical strength. If you can lift it in the Yongquan Realm, you will be qualified to forge the Golden Mark Vein."
A person like Yao Zhengsheng who was born with supernatural powers could use a thousand-jin iron rod as a weapon, but in fact, he could only swing it with the blessing of magic power. It was not an easy task for him to carry a thousand-jin iron rod with his physical strength alone.
This is already the pinnacle of physical strength in the Yongquan Realm!
Li Weiyi walked towards the black Five Sea Pillar.
It is about as thick as a forearm, and the part exposed on the ground is about seven feet long.
"Over the years, only Yin Jiu, who is in the Nine Springs Realm, has been able to shake it. Even Yin Ershisan, a huge and naturally powerful person, is almost unable to do so. Look, it's almost rusted... Did you... shake it just now?"
The old gatekeeper was talking to himself when suddenly his voice became high-pitched, because he clearly saw the Five Sea Pillars being pulled out a little bit.
He walked over quickly: "You didn't use any magic power?"
Li Weiyi shook his head and looked at the rust on his palm: "I can't lift it with my current physical strength. Wait until I eat the medicinal food and practice for a month or two."
He left feeling somewhat lost.
The old gatekeeper was distracted for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the Five Sea Pillars, lifting it up to test its weight.
It’s 5,500 kilograms, no problem.
“Oh, no…”
The gatekeeper stared at Li Weiyi's back, his forehead wrinkled, and whispered, "It's not shaken, what are you missing?"
…
Back at the cave abode at the Blood Tree Forest Cliff, Li Weiyi took out the scarlet Cistanche deserticola and ate half a pound of it. The loss in his heart quickly dissipated and his strong fighting spirit was restored.
"The advantage is getting smaller and smaller! Yin Jiu can shake the Five Sea Pillars at the Nine Springs level, but I need to open the Eight Springs to do so."
"Fortunately, Cistanche deserticola can strengthen blood and strengthen the body. Will it not replenish the body fast enough if it is 500 years old?"
Li Weiyi was very clear that he had been practicing for too short a time and started to refine his body too late.
After pondering for a moment, he entered the Buddha's relic and asked Master Guan about refining the golden veins.
"Do you want to attack the Tenth Spring Palace?" Master Guan suddenly asked.
Li Weiyi was stunned: "There is a tenth spring?"
Master Guan said: "The Tenth Spring is a legend. I have never heard of anyone actually breaking through it. But most of those who are gifted and have forged the Golden Veins have this fantasy. But the final result is that they waste a lot of time and miss the best age to open the sea. It's not worth it."
Then Master Guan explained to Li Weiyi in detail: "The younger you are, the easier it is to open the Five Seas. Once a person is over thirty, his physical condition is actually gradually declining. Only by reaching the Dao Seed Realm can this downward trend be stabilized. Only by cultivating to the Longevity Realm can the state of life be reversed."
"In other words, the most talented martial artists... that is, the inheritor-level martial artists, must open up the Five Seas and impact the Dao Seed before the age of thirty. Only then can they continue to make rapid progress in the future and pursue higher and farther goals."
"Youyi, although you started later than everyone else, you are making rapid progress. You can give it a try, but don't become obsessed with it and let yourself get stuck in it."
Li Weiyi could understand Master Guan's concerns and said with a smile, "Since the Tenth Spring is so illusory, let's not consider it for now. But I heard that the golden vein is called the dragon vein of martial arts practitioners. After it is hammered out, it has great benefits."
Master Guan laughed and said, "Of course! The reason why I, your Master Guan, was able to become one of the top ten martial arts masters in Lingxiao Realm was partly because I forged eighteen golden veins in my body, which laid eighteen indestructible foundations and helped me survive several dangerous meridian severance incidents."
In the era when the three masters lived, Lingxiao's habitat consisted of 300 states and was countless times more powerful than it is now.
Those who could enter the top ten of magic and martial arts at that time would be much more valuable than the strongest ones with millions of followers now.
"If you want to refine the golden veins, I can teach you the refining method of the ancient immortal beast Bifang. This is the unique skill of our clan." Master Guan said.
Master Guan's voice sounded: "The Bifang Hammering Method requires a large amount of blood from ancient immortal beasts. I suggest that you practice the Jiuli tribe's Cangwang Hammering Method to draw the natural light of heaven and earth to refine the trace veins. Coincidentally, the only way to borrow the Buddha's relics is to absorb a large amount of natural light, which is enough to speed up the tempering of the golden trace veins."
"This...is not bad. This doesn't cost much."
Li Weiyi agreed with Master Guan's method, but immediately added: "But the light underground is very dim, and the light from those luminous plants alone may not be enough. It seems that I have to become a hidden person as soon as possible, return to the ground, and find a well-lit and uninhabited place to retreat."
The spirit master said: "Youyi, if you can quickly cultivate the Fang Cun Flame in the Yin Tang Spirit Realm into Fang Cun Ming Fire, who knows, Shaoyang Star may be the best place for you to retreat and refine your golden veins."
Fang Cun Ming Huo is the third realm of the mind master. Li Ling was at this realm at the beginning, and his combat power is comparable to that of Qiquan martial artist.
Li Weiyi quickly asked, "What does Spiritual Master mean?"
"I can't say for sure. But after your mental power has broken through from the square inch flame to the current square inch flame, the blood mud space has doubled in size. If you break through again, there will definitely be further changes here." said the spiritual master.
Master Guan said, "No hurry, we can take both roads together. You should take good care of your injuries first."
…
Many people want to see something like the final word or the lingering sound of Yao's music... Are you crazy?
