Chapter 212 Earth Dragon
The third-level golden elixir is perfect inside and out, and its spiritual power is condensed like a pill, like gold that is indestructible, hence the name golden elixir.
The cultivator's golden elixir is tangible but intangible, which is very different from the crystal core of a monster.
For monsters, the golden elixir is actually their more refined and powerful crystal core.
Because of their physical form, demon beasts always have stronger mana and stronger bodies than cultivators of the same level. Also because of their physical form, the power of demon beasts is always limited to their own bloodline talents, and the lack of change in power makes it more difficult to extend and expand outward.
Therefore, there are only a few types of monsters that come and go, but cultivators can master all kinds of complex and exquisite spells and magic tools through learning.
It took Gao Xian less than a month to figure out all the changes of the four-armed demon monkey, and it was because of this characteristic of the demon beast.
If it were a Jindan Zhenren, there would be absolutely no way that he would be killed in this way.
The four-armed demon monkey was very strong and survived being beheaded. Its pair of black and red eyes stared at Gao Xian.
Gao Xian did not take any risks, as he had no idea what a dying third-level monster could do. He used an ice cone to pierce the monster monkey's head from a distance, completely destroying all its life force.
Only after the four-armed demon monkey was completely dead did Gao Xian go over and take out a black and red crystal core from the demon monkey's chest.
The crystal core is the size of a longan, with a six-sided cube structure. The black and red colors are intertwined in a complex way, which is very beautiful.
The key lies in this third-order crystal core, where the two opposite forces of ice and fire blend harmoniously together, which is extremely exquisite.
Gao Xian didn't know what the four-armed demon monkey was called, but he was sure that this powerful crystal core of ice and fire would be of great use to him! At worst, it could help him break through the limit of the ninth level of ice and fire and push this spell to a higher level.
The four-armed demon monkey itself, from its flesh and blood to its bones and internal organs, is extremely valuable.
After all, it is a third-level monster, constantly breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and every hair on its body is a good thing.
Gao Xian has been through so much, he won't be pretentious about this.
If he didn't have the clone technique, he would have been beaten to death by the four-armed monkey many times. Now he won by accident, borrowing the power of the Qinglian Feihong Sword.
Without the Green Lotus Feihong Sword, he would not be able to kill the four-armed demon monkey even if he died of exhaustion.
It must be said that the upgraded Qinglian Feihong Sword is indeed powerful. It can kill a powerful third-level monster like the four-armed demon monkey with one sword.
Even so, he was injured. The opponent's burst of Qi was too powerful, penetrating the two powerful protections of the Shadowless Robe and the Nine-Rank Green Lotus Light. Especially the Nine-Rank Green Lotus Light, whose protective ability was enough to resist the third-level power, it still failed to block the monkey's Qi.
Fortunately, after being severely weakened, less than 10% of the Gang Qi remained. Gao Xian used his black gold dragon scale armor and his strong body to withstand the power of this 10% of the Gang Qi.
Fortunately, he was only concussed and vomited blood, and his internal injuries were not serious. He will recover in three to five months.
Gao Xian was secretly glad that he had spent a lot of money to buy the black gold dragon scale armor. Although he didn't have time to activate the dragon scale shield, it still helped him share most of the power of the Gang Qi.
Otherwise, he would definitely be seriously injured this time.
Gao Xian put the four-armed demon monkey into a storage bag. In this battle, he gained experience in fighting against a third-level force, and he would have to summarize and digest it after returning.
The most important thing right now is to deal with the green peach! After arriving under the big tree, Gao Xian stared at the green peach for a while.
In his opinion, the peach is not ripe!
If it is cooked, there is no reason for the monkey to refuse to eat it.
Gao Xian didn't know what kind of spiritual object this peach was, how to use it, and what taboos there were. He decided to wait for two days, just in case this peach would ripen on its own!
After waiting for a few days, Gao Xian found that Taozi had not changed at all, but he had no patience to wait any longer.
First of all, Xiankong Mountain is a dangerous place, and who knows what will come over.
The peach emits rich spiritual energy that spreads outward along with the evil spirit, and may also attract powerful cultivators or monsters.
Furthermore, Yun Feiying knew that he was in Xiankong Mountain. If he stayed too long without coming back, what if Yun Feiying came with people? Or even what if Yun Taihao came? After repeated consideration, Gao Xian decided not to wait. Maybe the peaches would take another ninety-seven years to mature, and he couldn't wait that long!
No matter whether they are ripe or not, just pick them first.
Even if I lose all my spirituality, at least I won't benefit others.
After Gao Xian picked the peach as big as a human head, the huge green tree withered quickly, then decayed into pieces of dead wood in the evil spirit, and was soon swallowed up by the turbid mud.
The tall and huge trees are full of vitality, and they also have a sense of nobility and purity that is untainted by the mud.
It decayed into mud in a short period of time. Gao Xian felt like he had destroyed a pure life, just like seeing a former goddess go into the sea. He couldn't help feeling a little melancholy, but also a little expectant.
The peaches grown by such a strange giant tree should have very powerful spiritual effects! Gao Xian returned with a full harvest. Along the way, he killed two second-level monsters and harvested two crystal cores and some skin and flesh.
He had several ten-square storage bags on him, enough to hold all these miscellaneous items.
When Gao Xian returned to Nanluofang, it was already the morning of the third day. To his surprise, Nanluofang had actually activated a protective magic circle.
Even from dozens of miles away, he could see the layers of yellow magical light emanating from the protective magic circle.
The magic aura of the magic circle is tight and stable, which is very different from other magic changes and is easy to identify.
Gao Xian was a little confused. Was it not enough to kill so many monsters? When he arrived outside Nanluofang, he did not see any groups of monsters, but a large area of land outside the city was covered with fresh soil.
The ground outside the city gate was originally quite flat, and one place was paved with bluestone slabs.
At this moment, the ground looked like it had been plowed by a huge plow, leaving deep furrows and piles of soil. It looked extremely messy.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Gao Xian glanced at the ground and had some guesses in his mind.
Yun Feiying, who was watching on the city wall, saw the elegant green figure and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Yun Feiying flew up to meet Gao Xian. She bowed and saluted: "Fellow Daoist, you are finally back. I discussed with the elders and was planning to go to Xiankong Mountain to look for you in the next few days."
"Trouble the two Taoist friends' concern."
Gao Xian smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "The monster at Xiankong Mountain is causing some trouble, so we've been delayed for some time."
He pointed downward and asked, "What's going on here?"
"There is a two-headed earth dragon that is staying outside Nanluofang because it is good at escaping underground. Although it is only a second-level dragon, it is quite difficult to deal with."
Yun Feiying felt a little helpless when talking about this. The two-headed earth dragon is called an earth dragon, but in fact it is a big insect that is good at drilling into the ground, similar to an earthworm.
It is said that she and Yuan Siping could easily kill the big bug, but the bug was cunning and kept burrowing in the ground. Their magic could not penetrate deep into the ground, so they could only create a magic circle to keep the bug out.
If this bug broke into Nanluofang, I don’t know how many people would die! “I see!”
Gao Xian understood. Indeed, it was very troublesome when the insects escaped underground.
When Yuan Siping heard that Gao Xian had returned, he also hurried over. After all, this man had killed dozens of second-level monsters and almost single-handedly resolved the threat of monsters causing chaos in autumn.
The old man came over and said a few polite words to Gao Xian, then asked him to go back and rest.
Gao Xian said to the old man, "I have a way to deal with this bug. Wait until it comes again."
Yuan Siping was skeptical. He had heard that Gao Xian was very capable, but he had never seen Gao Xian's abilities with his own eyes.
This two-headed earth dragon is hidden deep underground. Does Gao Xian really have the means to deal with it? He was skeptical in his heart, but he said politely, "With the help of Fellow Daoist Gao, this problem will surely be solved!"
Before Yuan Siping finished his words, the ground suddenly rolled up huge waves of earth and raised clouds of dust high into the sky.
Gao Xian smiled and said, "Good job!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Lingxi sword flew out from his sleeve and sank into the ground in an instant.
A flash of flowing water light returned to Gao Xian's sleeve in the blink of an eye, leaving only the long and leisurely sound of the sword like a piano in the air.
Gao Xian smiled at Yuan Siping: "Elder, it's solved."
Yuan Siping looked at the smoke and dust still rolling underground, his old face was filled with astonishment...
