"Ah... be gentle, it hurts!"
After using the inner elixir to absorb the poisonous mist in Pei Wende's eyebrows, Xiaoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just to warn Pei Wende not to take it lightly next time, Xiaoqing deliberately touched his eyes while extracting the last ray of toxin.
"You definitely did this on purpose!"
Pei Wende helplessly covered his eyebrows and raised his eyes. He was willing to bet that this last step was definitely not a necessary process of "expelling poison".
"hiss……"
However, in the face of Pei Wende's complaint, Xiaoqing just rolled his eyes and then swallowed his inner elixir into his belly again.
Using inner elixirs to remove poison and heal injuries for others is a very energy-consuming practice for the monsters.
What's more, Xiaoqing's inner elixir has not yet taken shape, it is just an illusory object with the structure of Qi, meridians and acupoints.
Its consumption is naturally much greater than that of normal monsters, and it may even consume its own cultivation and foundation.
As mentioned above, if it hadn't been for the fact that Pei Wende had just cultivated his Heavenly Eye, it would have been impossible for him to use his inner elixir to help him expel poison and heal his injuries.
"Well……"
The eye between the eyebrows moved slightly, and Pei Wende quickly saw that there seemed to be something wrong with Xiaoqing's physical condition at the moment.
From the perspective of the Sky Eye, the dots and lines that make up the "little green" are a bit dimmer than before, just like a light bulb dimmed due to insufficient power.
The yet-to-be-formed inner elixir is entrenched in the most densely populated areas of these points and lines, slowly expelling a faint black aura.
It was this ray of poisonous energy from the remnant soul that caused Xiaoqing's energy veins to become dim and her acupoints to be overloaded.
"Are you OK?"
Seeing Xiao Qing with the word "tired" written all over his face, Pei Wende immediately forgot his complaints and carefully held him in his arms.
"hiss!"
Although he didn't speak, Pei Wende seemed to hear Xiaoqing saying - Do you think I'm okay?
Then, without waiting for Pei Wende to come to his senses, Xiaoqing simply closed his eyes, saying that he was too lazy to answer such meaningless questions.
"In fact, without your treatment, I won't be in big trouble."
Feeling distressed and speechless, Pei Wende dared to murmur in a low voice only after confirming again and again that Xiaoqing was really fine.
Because Pei Wende has already seen that Xiaoqing's current fatigue is not so much the removal of the poisonous energy in the inner elixir, but rather the result of the special secret technique it has practiced.
In fact, Pei Wende always knew that Xiaoqing was stealing from him.
Whether it was the "Taoist concepts" taught by Zen Master Lingyou or the "self-protection techniques" taught by Huiji, he had never hidden them from Xiaoqing, and even intentionally explained the concepts and applications to her.
Over time, Xiaoqing naturally acquired many Taoist and magical powers based on his own characteristics.
The secret technique called "Snake Slough" is one of them, and among the many secret techniques Xiao Qing has learned, it is second only to "Qing Gang" as the magical power to protect the Tao.
If the indestructible "Qing Gang" is Xiao Qing's strongest attack skill, then "Snake Slough" is his strongest life-saving skill.
This is a life-saving and early-warning method that Xiaoqing finally developed by combining his snake instinct, the concept of breaking the mind, the "no-mind concentration" emphasized by the ascetics, and many Qimen Dunjia techniques. Secret method.
In this state, first of all, Xiaoqing's body's activity will decline significantly, entering a state similar to hibernation, turtle breathing, and suspended animation, ensuring his last glimmer of vitality.
At the same time, Xiaoqing's will, consciousness, and understanding will also be greatly strengthened in the process.
It can maximize the effect of her practice. It can be called the only way to understand supernatural powers and practice magic. It is a powerful plug-in second only to the "method of enlightenment in dreams".
The most important thing is that Xiao Qing's perception is extremely keen in this state.
Various body organs that intersect with the brain operate at a speed beyond normal speed, and the prediction of crises has reached an unprecedented peak.
Combined with Xiao Qing's own super perception of demonic energy, he can almost reach the state of predicting the enemy's opportunity and arriving late.
Of course, Xiaoqing's sudden entry into the "snake shedding" state is definitely not for warning, but because it finds that it seems to have found a shortcut to a higher level.
Because after Xiaoqing swallowed the worm's energy into his belly, he discovered that it was actually an invisible "snake".
Or to be more precise, this is the most sinister and filthy snake vood that the old woman cultivated by "raising voodoo" after collecting the souls of hundreds of venomous snakes.
After realizing this, Xiao Qing immediately extracted it from the inner elixir, and then incorporated it into his own body to absorb and digest it.
Xiao Qing didn't care about a mere snake poison. What she valued was the poisonous mist that could blind the sky.
As long as you can swallow and analyze the toxin components, your snake venom will definitely improve to the next level.
For this reason, Xiao Qing must thoroughly understand the composition of the opponent before the snake Gu completely dissipates.
This is the reason why Xiaoqing used the secret method of "snake sloughing" to reduce his own activity.
It needs to enter the "snake shed" state, and use that special state to break the poisonous mist of this snake voodoo to strengthen the toxin of the body.
According to Xiao Qing's estimation, this level of snake poison would only need a short nap to be fully digested, and would not affect the possible subsequent battles.
After all, if he hadn't been watching, Pei Wende might have caused much trouble.

"this……"
Although he didn't know what Xiaoqing was doing, Pei Wende carefully stuffed it back into his collar.
Then he lowered his head and glanced at the iron Gu that had been "torn to pieces" by the explosion. He made a finger sword with both hands and pointed forward. The shapeless "fragments" suddenly flew together and quickly pieced together the iron Gu's body again. appearance.
Buzz!
Petite and nimble figure, high-frequency vibrating cicada wings...
The Iron Gu, which had been reorganized again, was hovering completely in front of Pei Wende, as if it had never been exploded.
"call!"
Seeing this, Pei Wende breathed a long sigh of relief, and then pulled out the reforged new dogleg knife from his waist.
Compared with the dog-leg knives that Pei Wende forged before, this new dog-leg knife has an extremely gorgeous water drop pattern, and you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.
This is indeed the case. After Pei Wende smelted various steel materials, he mixed those steel materials in a certain proportion to cast a super strong blade.
The steel forged by this special method had a famous name in later generations - Damascus steel.
In today's Tang Dynasty, the steel forged by this special forging method is collectively called wootz steel.
It is said that this special method of forging steel was passed down from ancient India. It can give steel toughness and strength beyond ordinary weapons. Only the top forging masters can forge top-quality steel.
