Chapter 208: Underground Spiritual Fruit
An ice arrow whistled down and penetrated the black snake's golden pupil into its brain.
The ice arrows were not only sharp, but also had powerful ice magic. Although this huge black snake was a second-level monster, it could not withstand such a heavy blow, and the little spiritual light condensed in its sea of consciousness was instantly destroyed.
However, the snake had strong vitality. Even though its soul was destroyed, its body still retained strong vitality.
The huge black snake rolled wildly in the woods, knocking down and breaking thick trees wherever it passed, and splashing dust and gravel with a huge momentum.
After a long while, the black snake's body slowly stopped.
Gao Xian floated down to the position of the snake's head, and with a casual slash of the Green Lotus Sword in his hand, he dug out the crystal core deep inside the snake's head.
Yun Feiying on the side was full of envy. She was not envious of a second-level snake demon crystal core, but of Gao Xian's exquisite swordsmanship.
Using a sharp sword to dig out the crystal core is as easy and natural as picking up something with your fingers.
This kind of meticulous control of swordsmanship shows how superbly and exquisitely Gao Xian's swordsmanship is.
Gao Xian didn't care about Yun Feiying's envious look. His swordsmanship had reached the perfect level of a grandmaster, and wielding the sword was easier and more convenient than using his hands and feet.
He looked at the dark yellow crystal core in his hand. It was condensed from wood and earth magic power, and mixed with a strong bloody aura. This second-level crystal core had a mixed aura and was of low quality. Its quality was even far inferior to the crystal core of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger.
A crystal core of this quality is only worth one or two thousand spirit stones, which is better than nothing.
Gao Xian casually put away the crystal core. He saw that the black snake's long tail was still twitching, and he couldn't help but sigh at the tenacious vitality of snakes.
Yun Feiying said: "In fact, snake monsters rarely travel far, and they pose little threat to Nanluofang."
She had participated in several operations to strangle monsters in the Nanluo Mountains. Generally speaking, they would not care about snake monsters, as these creatures were extremely regional and rarely left their territory. They were also troublesome to kill and not worth the effort.
"It's a bad fate for it to have met me."
Gao Xian responded casually. It was a piece of cake for him to kill these second-level monsters. It required neither effort nor worry.
It was a bit difficult to kill a foundation-building monk with ice arrows and flaming bombs, but it was very easy to kill these unintelligent monsters. After breaking through the monster's protective qi, a fatal blow could be made.
He also killed all the second-level monsters around Xiankong Mountain. Since he had nothing to do, he blew out a black snake lurking deep in the underground cave and killed it.
Gao Xian originally wanted to try out the newly upgraded Green Lotus Sword, but the monsters he encountered were too weak and it was not worth using the sword at all.
Yun Feiying also said: "We have killed all the second-level monsters near Xiankong Mountain. We can go back now."
In a few days, Gao Xian had slaughtered all kinds of monsters around, and Yun Feiying had almost no chance to fight back.
What would normally take one or two months to complete was completed by Gao Xian in less than ten days. Yun Feiying was secretly amazed by his high efficiency.
Gao Xian looked at the giant snake's corpse. The black snake skin was tight and tough, of extremely high quality, much stronger than the second-level monsters he had killed before. He was able to kill the black snake easily because he avoided the real and attacked the fake. The ice arrow technique might not be able to break such a thick and tough snake skin.
With nothing to do, Gao Xian drew his sword and followed the snake around, completely peeling off the snake's skin without a speck of blood or flesh on it.
Yun Feiying was even more speechless. With a swordsmanship as high as Gao Xian's, he was truly omnipotent. Skinning with a sword was a piece of cake, and this was ten or a hundred times more difficult than taking the crystal core with a sword.
Gao Xian put the snake skin away and smiled at Yun Feiying: "I was born as a casual cultivator and I am used to being frugal. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Taoist."
"You are joking, my friend. This snake skin is of extraordinary value, so of course we can't waste it."
Yun Feiying doesn't care about first-level monsters, but is quite envious of second-level monsters.
Such a large snake skin is of very high quality and can be used to tan at least a dozen sets of inner armor. Just selling the materials can fetch 5,000 spirit stones.
In the past few days, Gao Xian has obtained at least ten second-level monster crystal cores. Even though the quality varies, the total amount is about 20,000 to 30,000 crystals.
Yun Feiying only earns this many spirit stones a year, but the problem is that she also consumes a lot.
Pills, spiritual objects, magic tools and talismans, living expenses, all the expenses added up leave almost no surplus throughout the year.
She was quite proud, so she followed suit and killed a few second-level monsters. The main force was Gao Xian, and she was too embarrassed to share the spoils.
Gao Xian also noticed it, but Yun Feiying herself couldn't let go, so he didn't care.
As a foundation-building cultivator, she should know what is more important to her.
Yun Feiying also felt a little embarrassed, so she changed the subject and said, "We have almost killed all the second-level monsters in Xiankong Mountain. We can go back now."
Gao Xian looked at the Xiankong Mountain in the distance. In the mode of the Flower-Seeing Spirit Mirror illuminating the Netherworld, he could see that the strong evil spirit above the Xiankong Mountain was already rising into the sky.
Amidst the strong murderous aura, there is also a hint of green wood spiritual light.
He could also sense the tremendous attraction emanating from Xiankong Mountain, just like a bee seeing honey or a pervert seeing a beautiful woman. The temptation was simply irresistible.
At the same time, he could also sense the strong and dangerous aura emanating from the depths of Xiankong Mountain.
In the past, Gao Xian would not have taken risks. But now that he had the ability to clone himself, he had the capital to take risks.
You can be a little extra with your three lives.
Gao Xian hesitated for a while and said to Yun Feiying, "Fellow Daoist, please don't move here. I'm going to Xiankong Mountain to take a look."
"Hmm?" Yun Feiying looked puzzled. The evil spirit in Xiankong Mountain was so strong, why did Gao Xian go in? She wanted to talk but stopped herself, wanting to dissuade Gao Xian from taking risks. Then she thought that Gao Xian was so skilled, it was not her turn to say anything.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, be careful."
Gao Xian nodded: "I'll be back soon."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and a platinum halo flashed behind him, pushing him forward towards Xiankong Mountain.
Xiankong Mountain is more like a huge deep well than a mountain. The mountain peak is hollow and deep, and the bottom is invisible.
As Gao Xian continued to move downwards, the thick evil energy had condensed into black and red smoke that floated back and forth, rising and falling like waves.
Such a strong evil spirit will not only corrode the body and soul of living beings, but will even corrode magical weapons.
Other foundation-building cultivators would not be able to hold out for long if faced with such a strong evil spirit.
Gao Xian, however, is different. His Qiankun Wheel is exquisite. The magnetic energy from the sky and the earth condenses into a wheel that circulates endlessly, forming a circle of tight protection that is enough to block 90% of the evil spirits.
He also had the Grandmaster's perfect Shadowless Robe, which was like a seamless celestial robe and could completely block the remaining evil spirit.
The Green Lotus Crown, Green Lotus Belt, and Green Lotus Robe all have the ability to ward off evil and eliminate poison.
Especially the Qinglian robe, which is specially designed to resist evil spirits, filth and other changes. Just relying on the Qinglian robe can easily resist all evil spirits.
With so many protective spells and magical weapons, Gao Xian can keep moving forward despite the evil spirit that can corrode a person into ashes.
After flying down for dozens of miles, Gao Xiancai finally reached the bottom.
The rotten red mud was constantly bubbling with huge bubbles, like boiling water, constantly releasing strong evil spirits. This was the source of the endless evil spirits.
In this smelly and rotten mud, there grows a huge green tree, more than 20 to 30 feet tall. The tree has branches but no leaves, and in the center of its crown grows a peach-shaped fruit.
Gao Xian followed the tree's gaze deeper into the ground and could see that the tree's roots were deeply embedded in the mud, occupying a large area.
This strange tree, which grew by absorbing evil spirits, abnormally exuded a strong vitality. Especially the only fruit of the tree, which exuded a mysterious spirit.
Anyone who takes a look at it can tell that this fruit must be an extremely rare spiritual object.
Gao Xian understood that it was the inspiration emanating from this fruit that attracted him.
The stuff is good, but the problem is that there is a big monkey squatting on the tree.
The monkey's hair was black and red, intertwined to form a complex and symmetrical pattern. Its four long arms wrapped around itself.
Gao Xian had killed many four-armed monkeys before, but the black and red four-armed monkey in front of him made him feel extremely dangerous.
Even when he used the Flower Mirror to examine her from a distance, his heart instinctively tensed up!
At this moment, the four-armed ape's closed eyelids suddenly jumped, and Gao Xian's heart also jumped violently...
I always think that the author is the author and the book is the book. They are two different things, so don't mix them together. To prevent misunderstanding, let me say a few more words. My elders at home are very ill and I need to take care of them. So the updates will be unstable. This is my problem and I will try my best to overcome it.
