After listening to Qian Chao's words, the five people were stunned for a while looking at the wild and crisscrossing claw marks that extended far and wide along the river. They watched quietly. In their eyes, what they saw was like a calligrapher. When everyone is drunk and crazy, they write like wild grass with a broad brush. Their eyes are full of wild and wanton, and at the same time, they are full of danger and murderous intent!
Among the monks of the same level, the five of them already have quite a lot of fighting experience. They have had a lot of experience in fighting with others, and there have been several fierce fights. The danger and cruelty among them are unforgettable for the five of them, but with their current cultivation Why is it hard to imagine how fierce the battle that took place in the underground river here must have been. It was a life-and-death battle between powerful pill-forming monks, and both of them died in this battle. Well, the desperate struggle before death must have made that battle extremely cruel!
After a moment of silence, Li Jian realized something. He looked sideways at Qian Chao and said:
"Brother Qian, Senior Tang once told us about Gan Bu, saying that before his identity was exposed, he had the title of 'Master Xuanxiu' in Jiu Xuan, and his methods were very clever. And the one who fights Gan Bu is from your Chengqi Hall. Elder Xiang of the hall, I think that Elder Xiang should be a master of weapon refining. Look here, in addition to the claw marks, there are also dense sword marks. I guess these sword marks should be used by Elder Xiang. It was left by a magic weapon, but were these claw marks left by Ganbu? Isn’t he Master Xuanxiu? Could it be that he is actually a master of controlling spirits, and these claw marks were left by the battles between the spiritual beasts he raised?”
Li Jian's question was indeed reasonable. After hearing this, Qian Chao looked at the claw marks all over the stone wall and couldn't help but become confused.
Before Qian Chao could speak, Tang Ping spoke first:
"These claw marks must have been left by Gan Bu, but he cannot be an expert in controlling spirits."
"Then why?"
"Brother Li, look."
Tang Ping stretched out her right arm and waved forward gently as she spoke. Suddenly, the jade lotus-like arm in her sleeve turned into an extremely thick and hairy giant ape arm, with a palm like a tabletop and five fingers like rafters and sharp hooks. The giant ape's arm disappeared with a wave of his hand. Tang Ping just wanted to give a demonstration, but he forgot that this was a cold pool. They were already affected by the chaotic spiritual veins here. Tang Ping only felt that doing so consumed more spiritual energy than usual, and would She was startled.
"Brother Li, you have seen this method of mine many times. With this method, I can also leave similar scratches here. Of course, with my current cultivation level, I can't even use my full strength to leave similar scratches on this stone wall. It is impossible to leave such deep and wide traces. What's more, this place was originally a forbidden area for the Danjie monks. Looking at the scene in front of you, it shows the strength of the two Danjie monks at that time. The reason why I say Gan The reason why Bu is not a spiritual master is because he is actually a spiritual cultivator. This is a bit long to say. I heard from my sixth grandfather that if a monk wants to become a spiritual cultivator, he must first go through a similar process. For the initiation ceremony, this ceremony is very important. The name seems to be called blood donation, which means giving the master's blood to the disciple. The ceremony is that the master drops his own essence and blood on the head of the disciple to be accepted, and then the disciple will give it to the disciple. The drop of essence and blood is completely absorbed, and the next step is to integrate the drop of essence and blood into oneself. The process is said to be uncomfortable at first, but then it becomes very comfortable. We don’t know this. My sixth grandfather said This is how Chongling Blood Cultivator accepts disciples from generation to generation. He also said that every Chongling Blood Cultivator who forms an elixir can only accept two disciples in his life, because the essence and blood in their bodies are too much for them. If you want to accept disciples, you have to donate blood for precious reasons. If there are more than two, they themselves cannot afford such losses."
Tang Ping paused and then said:
"Respecting spiritual blood cultivation, the practice of these people is actually very different from ours. What we cultivate is our own aura, the Dantian Qi sea, but they do not. What they cultivate is the drop of essence they received from their master during the blood granting ceremony. Blood. Take Zhang Yi for example. He should have also received a drop of blood essence from the monk named An Zaiyin. With this drop of blood essence, Zhang Yi will have no problem building the foundation. This can be regarded as the Chongling Blood Cultivation Comparison. These are places where ordinary monks have an advantage. After the foundation is established, if Zhang Yiruo wants to form a pill, this drop of blood is not enough. From the beginning of the foundation, he has to travel around the world on his own to find the remnants of the ancient true spirit bloodline in his body. Monsters, monsters, birds, or... monks, and then take their essence and blood and merge it with the drop of essence and blood in their own body that was obtained from the blood granting ceremony, and then continue to cultivate and strengthen it for their own use, repeating this drop of essence The blood becomes purer and purer, and his cultivation becomes stronger and stronger. After reaching a certain level, forming a pill is a matter of course. Of course, the whole process is naturally extremely difficult. Well, these words are mine Grandpa Six told me. We all know what the ancient true spirits look like. The most powerful ones are the auspicious dragon and the phoenix. Both of these are divine objects that only exist in legends. The rest have traces. Found it, similar to my Xiaobai, Dahuang, and Qingluan that I am looking for, they all have the inheritance of the ancient true spirit bloodline. Of course, there are some hidden families who have the inheritance of the ancient true spirit bloodline, and those are Chongqing. Spiritual Blood Cultivation is an elusive goal, but no matter what, the source of essence and blood pursued by Chongling Blood Cultivation is the ancient true spirit, and the ancient true spirits are all powerful beings with sharp teeth and claws. As for what we see These claw marks..."
Speaking of this, Tang Ping looked at Lu Pingchuan:
"I heard that the last time, Brother Lu's master, Senior Kang Fu, was ordered to go out to capture An Zaiyin. In the end, An Zaiyin also used methods similar to what we see here in the desperate situation of escape. At the last moment, in order to survive or die together with the enemy, they no longer begrudge the drop of blood that they have cultivated in their bodies for a lifetime. Chongling Blood Cultivator has its own means to fully release the full power of that drop of blood. Within a period of time, his body shape will become like the ancient true spirit inherited by that drop of essence and blood, completely unlike a human shape and huge, or a bear, a giant wolf, a spread-winged roc, etc., and During this period of time, the Chongling blood cultivator can also obtain the corresponding strength of the ancient true spirit. Therefore, even though our Wuling Sect and Meng Cailou joined forces when Senior Kang Fu went out, there were still many casualties. The reason is exactly the origin of the claw marks we see before us."
It turns out that this is the first time for the other four people to know such a secret as Chongling Blood Cultivation.
Tang Ping finally said:
"Actually, the cultivation method of Chongling Blood Cultivation is similar to that of my Xiaobai and Dahuang. If Xiaobai and Dahuang want to become stronger, they must continue to strengthen the few true spirit bloodlines in their bodies until Until one day they can truly become true spiritual beasts in the full sense. Of course, such methods, similar to those of Gan Bu and An Zaiyin, who worship spiritual blood cultivators, would never dare to use them. Not only is it extremely harmful to them, , and also expose their identities.”
After listening to the discussion for a while, Qian Chao suggested that everyone move forward.
This section of the road was difficult to walk. The ground was full of big holes or ravines left by the two powerful monks when they fought. The five people walked carefully.
Finally, after walking forward for less than half an hour, Qian Chao found the entrance to the second floor of the cold pool.
It is also a dark hole, and I don’t know how far it goes down.
"Just go down from here?" Tang Ping looked into the passage.
"Yes," Qian Chao said, "On the second floor, we may find the remains of some Five Spirit disciples who died there."
"What?" Yanxuan asked in surprise.
Qian Chao glanced back at the crisscross claw marks in the river behind him and the dense pits and ravines on the ground, sighed and continued:
"After Elder Xiang died in the battle, it is said that the sect was very angry at that time, so he ordered the elite qi-refining disciples in the sect to clear out the cold pool. It's a pity that the result is half the result with twice the effort. Those elite disciples of the Five Spirits at that time The biggest disadvantage is the unfamiliarity and contempt for this cold pool. The first level is not dangerous, but the second level is not..."
"Is it dangerous?" Tang Ping asked.
"The danger is actually not great. The key is that there are many forked roads on the second floor. There are many holes within one hole, and the holes all look similar. The holes are connected to each other like a spider web. If you don't know the way, then It is easy to get lost, and the biggest feature of the second level of the cold pool is that the spiritual veins change very frequently. You cannot use spiritual energy to cast spells there, otherwise you may hurt yourself. But the Five Spirit disciples who came in to clean up at that time Without knowing it, they rushed in together rashly. As a result, they suffered a big loss on the second floor. Many people got lost in the forked roads of those caves and could never get out, and were eventually trapped and died in them. Also, the people who were entrenched at that time In order to protect themselves, the casual cultivators here and those from the Yu Nian Association are also dealing with the Five Spirit disciples on the second floor. They are all very familiar with this place. They are waiting for the Five Spirit disciples who enter on the second floor, or they are deliberately on the second floor. Appearing in caves with many forks or uttering provocations, the Five Spirit disciples were so angry that they either wanted to kill them or pursue them closely. The result was obvious. In the end, many of them failed to do so. Go out from here. Later, the sect realized the danger of the Cold Pool and quickly called a halt to the clearing. It was a rare return of the Five Spirits’ elite disciples. From then on, those who were entrenched here People became even more rampant, and until now, the cold pool has truly become a chaotic place. Well, in this sense, the second layer of the cold pool is actually the most powerful barrier to protect those people. , the next third floor is where those people gather. According to Senior Brother Chu Yuan, the first and second floors of Han Pond are both natural. From the third floor onwards, they look like they were man-made. , let’s go, what the second level will be like, we won’t know until we get down there.”
Seeing Qian Chao walking towards the passage after finishing speaking, Tang Ping quickly grabbed him and asked:
"Boy Qian, you said that the second floor is like a maze. Once you get lost, you can never get out. Then you... um, did Chu Yuan tell you how to get there?"
Qian Chao smiled:
"Of course, come with me. I'll keep you safe!"
After saying that, Qian Chao strode away.
