Above the foggy inner earth sea, the huge but slender and beautiful Xuanhu cut through the waves and sailed quickly to the northwest.
One day ago, Qingshi and the others bid farewell to Dameng Island and started a new journey. The five Luoluoshan people took the airship presented by Qingshi and returned along the way they came. Qingshi, the three of them and Asu took the Xuanhu to the northwest.
Qingshi wanted to take Asu to see the surface world, but Asu said that he wanted to go home. His home was in the sea. He had not seen his family for more than two thousand years, so he had to go back. Qingshi naturally stopped insisting.
However, Asu was worried and insisted on helping them find the exit first and sending them out of the underground world before going back.
Qingshi originally wanted the Xuanhu to fly across the Earth's Inner Sea, but after flying for a while, Asu said that he was afraid of heights and had to let Qingshi lower the Xuanhu to the sea for navigation, so Qingshi had no choice but to obey him.
With Asu on board, naturally no sea beast would dare to come and run wild. Asu was one of the strongest sea beasts in the underground world more than two thousand years ago, otherwise the Desert Dragon would not have captured him to protect his Dream Island.
The Desert Dragon used secret methods to cultivate Asu, not only turning him into an 'immortal', but his combat power also doubled. He has long been the strongest man in the underground world, and has no rival.
On the Xuanhu, Qingduan, Chen, and Asu were lying comfortably on the deck chairs, drinking and bragging, but Asu suddenly stood up and walked to the side of the ship to look around.
"Brother," Asu said to Qingshi with a smile, "you helped me break my oath and saved me from suffering for a thousand years. I haven't repaid this kindness yet."
"Asu!" Qingshi said, "Our brothers, why are we saying these polite words?"
"I'm not being polite," Asu said, "I have a big gift for my eldest brother. If you fly into the sky now, you will have to fly at least a hundred feet high."
"Huh?" Qingshi sat up and asked in confusion, "Asu, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to go to the sea to get the treasure for you!" Asu said with a smile, "Hurry up and fly up." After saying that, Asu jumped lightly and plunged into the sea.
Qing Duan, Chen and the others were all stunned. Qing Shi quickly followed Asu's instructions and activated the Black Tiger's spiritual energy driver and began to climb as hard as he could.
The spiritual energy in the underground world is extremely abundant, and the spiritual energy driver operates very efficiently, quickly pushing the huge Black Tiger up to a height of a hundred feet.
The bluestone stabilized the hull of the boat, and the three of them lay on the side of the boat and looked down. They saw that the sea under their feet had begun to surge with white waves, like a boiling pot.
Suddenly, two behemoths grappling together emerged from the sea. They stirred up huge waves, rolled up a huge whirlpool, and let out a shocking roar. The waves were mixed with splashing scales and blood, and the violent and bloody scene was thrilling.
It was impossible to tell what species these two giant beasts were, but Qingshi felt that one of them looked like a dragon, while the other was completely unrecognizable. In terms of length and size, they were much inferior to Ah Kun, but the destructive power of such a behemoth fighting in the sea was enough to sink the Xuanhu. No wonder Asu let them fly into the sky.
Qingshi couldn't tell which of the two giant beasts was Asu, nor could he tell who had the upper hand. Therefore, he wanted to help Asu but couldn't do anything. As for Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye, they were simply powerless.
The battle between the two giant beasts on the water lasted for less than half a quarter of an hour, and they soon sank into the depths of the sea again. Then, the sea surface gradually calmed down, leaving only large areas of scales floating in the water, constantly Bloody water emerged from the depths of the sea, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
Qingshi controlled the Xuanhu to descend, and soon it was only twenty feet away from the sea.
Suddenly, the sea water exploded again, and a man rose into the sky, shooting water columns dozens of feet high into the sky.
It's Aso! The bluestone is clearly visible.
Asu naturally saw the Xuanhu. He took a step in mid-air and landed firmly next to Qingshi. His whole body was dry and dry, with no water stains at all, and not even a scratch.
"Asu," Qingshi asked, "are you fighting a dragon just now?"
"That's right!" Asu said with a smile, "I have killed that old guy, Old Chen and Old Duan. I will give you something to see you off. This is the blood essence and inner elixir of the old dragon who transformed into an immortal."
Asu threw an inner elixir to Chen Tianye and a bottle of dragon essence and blood to Duan Wutian, both of which were still steaming hot and extremely fresh. Both Duan and Chen thanked him happily.
Then, Asu took out another jade box and presented it to Qingshi, smiling and saying: "Brother, this is an elixir, please accept it."
"Elixir!" Qingshi said curiously, "Is it really an elixir?"
As Qingshi said this, he took out a round pill the size of a pigeon egg from the jade box and took a closer look. Duan and Chen also came over curiously.
I saw that this 'elixir' was a dark golden color, exuding a faint halo. The pill was densely covered with hair-like fine Dao lines, and there was a faint charm of heavenly Dao, like dense mist, slowly flowing on its surface.
Qingshi was shocked, yes, this is the legendary 'Elixir', also called 'Tao Pill'.
Qingshi has never seen an elixir before, but as an alchemist, he naturally knows what the so-called 'elixir' is and what it looks like.
The 'elixir' is said to be a top-notch elixir that was only available in the age of immortals and gods, and was refined by a god-level alchemist. The most precious thing about the elixir is not its medicinal power, but the charm of heaven that is melted into the elixir.
After a monk takes it, he will gain the understanding of 'Tao'. In other words, if this elixir contains the Tao of Gold, then the monk who takes it will instantly realize the Tao of Gold. If this elixir contains the Tao of Gold, then the monk who takes it will instantly understand the Tao of Gold. It contains the heavenly way of wind, and the monks who take it will understand the way of wind.
Understanding a heavenly path is the most basic condition for becoming an immortal. Therefore, such an elixir is called an 'elixir'.
However, such elixirs cannot be taken by just any monk. Generally speaking, only monks who have reached the ninth stage of the elixir realm can take them. After taking them, this monk will almost certainly understand a heavenly way, and thus be able to use his elixir in his own way. Mark the Dao pattern on it and become a monk in the Shenyuan Realm.
If monks in the Divine Origin Realm take it, they can understand more of the heavenly path contained in a pill and greatly improve their skills. However, if monks below the high level of the Immortal Pill Realm take it, they will most likely be unable to withstand the surging power of the medicine, and their blood vessels will burst and die.
Qingshi saw that the 'Tao' contained in this elixir was the Heavenly Dao of Wood, and this was the Five Elements Heavenly Dao that he had least understood so far, so he was very happy.
Although Qingshi's Zhenqi level is only at the third level of the Immortal Pill Realm, the quality and total quantity of his Five Elements Zhenqi have already far exceeded that of the average ninth-level monks of the Immortal Pill Realm. There is no problem taking this elixir now.
Qingshi's biggest current practice goal is to understand the Five Elements of Heaven. Once he understands it, he can imprint the elixir with the Five Elements of Heaven and sublimate his inner elixir into the divine essence (Tao Pill) that contains the Five Elements of Heaven.
When his Qi level reaches the ninth level, he will naturally step into the realm of Shenyuan and become one of the strongest monks in the entire Tianlong World. There is no doubt about this.
At that time, the great monks of Jiang Tianlong and his generation were all imprinted with the Taoist patterns corresponding to their own true energy. For example, Zeng Bufan's Dao Pill is imprinted with the Five Elements of Heaven, while Jiang Tianlong's Dao Pill is not only imprinted with the two Heavenly Daos of wind and thunder, but also has the Dao patterns of the three Five Elements of Heaven, namely gold, earth, and water.
Qingshi possesses the nine true qi. If he can imprint his Tao elixir with the nine heavenly ways, then he must be the number one person in this world.
While excited, Qingshi asked where the elixir came from. Asu told a story from the past, and only then did Qingduan and Chen know its origin.
More than two thousand years ago, the Desert Dragon accidentally discovered the underground world, so he wanted to occupy an island here as his dormant place. However, the overlord of the underground world, the great demon Gao Tangjun who transformed into a dragon, disagreed.
Gao Tangjun is the only transformed demon in the underground world, but he can't defeat the Desert Dragon, so he united the three major forces in the underground world to fight against Long Moyun.
Long Moyun was helpless with the power of the three major clans, so he bribed Lord Gaotang with the price of an elixir. Lord Gaotang was greedy for the elixir, so he sold Dameng Island to Long Moyun, and the two parties agreed not to invade or interfere with each other.
Without the Jiaolong clan, Long Moyun quickly defeated the other two major forces. Except for a few big monsters from the Tulong clan, he captured all the others. After erasing their spiritual intelligence, he guarded the dungeon for him and Patrol the underground world and kill outsiders.
The Asu clan was luckier. In order to prevent the clan from being slaughtered, Asu voluntarily entered into a master-servant oath with Long Moyun, and guarded Dameng Island for Long Moyun for three thousand years. For his own safety, Long Moyun used the last elixir to train Asu and turned him into a great demon in disguise.
After Gao Tangjun obtained the elixir, he did not use it for himself, because he had already transformed at that time, and using this elixir would not be of great help to him. He wanted to wait until his heir grew to a certain level, and then use the elixir to cultivate another great immortal. It is a pity that his descendants are not outstanding. For more than two thousand years, none of them have been able to cultivate to the point where they can use the elixir to transform into an immortal.
Just now, Lord Gaotang and his descendants who had developed spiritual wisdom, a total of six dragon monsters, were all killed by Asu. Asu launched an attack on Lord Gaotang almost as soon as he gained freedom. This was not only revenge for his betrayal back then, but also based on the natural laws of this world, because there can only be one overlord in this underground world.
"Hmm~" Qingshi looked at the elixir in his hand and said thoughtfully, "This elixir cannot be refined by the Desert Dragon. Where did he get it from?"
"It should have been refined by his brother," Asu said. "The old guy has a brother named Long Motian, who is the number one alchemy master in Shenmu Continent. He said that his brother will definitely come to him and save him. Within three thousand years, no matter when his brother comes, he will give me freedom in advance."
"Oh!" Qingshi suddenly realized, "It turns out that the person he is waiting for is his brother!"
"But~" Chen Tianye said, "No matter how powerful his brother is, he is not a god. How can he refine an elixir?"
"Well~" Asu said, "I don't know how to make alchemy, I don't know."
Qingshi also felt strange, but he didn't know exactly what was going on, so he stopped asking.
Qingshi took the elixir that day and came out three days later. He had fully understood the way of wood and improved his Qi cultivation to the fourth level of the elixir realm.
After sailing in the inner earth sea for ten days, the Xuanhu finally arrived at the northwest coast. After this voyage, Qingshi and the others also roughly understood the topography of the entire underground world. This is a large underground fissure running from northwest to southeast, about 30 meters long. Two thousand five hundred miles, ranging from two hundred to five hundred miles wide. Most of the entire underground world is covered by the Earth's Inner Sea, and the land is only the coasts around the coast and a few islands.
After landing on the northwest coast, Qingshi and the others quickly found an underground river that merged into the Earth's Core Sea. Asu said that the previous group of people who came here about two hundred years ago came along this underground river. , as long as they walk along this river, they will definitely be able to get out of the underground world.
Qingshi and Asu said goodbye, and Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye also felt a little regretful that they could not take Asu to visit the earthly world.
After saying goodbye to each other, Asu jumped into the sea, and then turned into a giant beast out of the water. This giant beast was thirty feet long, with a dragon's head, a horse's body, and tiger's claws and fish scales. It made a shocking roar towards Qingshi and the others. Roaring, then turning around to the southeast, the huge body rolled up and drove away in waves.
"Oh my god!" Chen Tianye looked at Asu's disappearing figure and murmured, "Water unicorn! It turns out that Asu is a water unicorn!"
