After walking along the dark and narrow passage for about ten minutes, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the distance, and it seemed that we were approaching the end. Fengyu quickly quickened his pace and passed through the exit in a short while.
Accompanied by a slightly fishy wind, the front suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a vast lake view.
Yuhualing Lake is the lake that Fengyu discovered and named. The reason for its formation is unknown, but it possesses an unusually large and pure spiritual energy, and is also the source of spiritual energy in the Shengyu Mountains. Compared with simply using holy stones, practicing here is much more efficient.
But now that he has arrived at his destination, Fengyu's face shows no joy at all.
"How could this happen?" Fengyu looked around with a heavy expression.
The original Yuhualing Lake was surrounded by holy stones, and even though it was inside the cave, it was as bright as day. But now it is extremely dark here, with muddy ground underfoot, and all kinds of poisonous weeds growing wildly by the lake. The lake water is even more turbid, and you can hardly feel the spiritual energy. Instead, it is filled with extremely heavy evil energy, and it doesn't look like a holy land at all.
At this point, Fengyu finally understood why the entire Shengyu Stream was filled with chill. Even the Yuhualing Lake, which was the source, had become like this, not to mention the rest of the places.
But how could the original blissful paradise have turned into such a barren land? What happened here?
With doubts in mind, Fengyu walked along the lakeside and observed the surroundings. His eyes suddenly noticed an unsociable bright red color on the shore.
When I got closer, I saw a jade-blood glazed flower growing here.
This flower only grows in extremely shady places and is very rare. Its shape is like glass. It is completely transparent when it is born. It needs to be watered with a woman's blood to grow. During this period, the flower will gradually turn red. When it completely turns red, it can be used as medicine, which is of great benefit to cultivation. .
"Currently, this jade-blood glazed flower is just one step away from fully growing, but who has been using female blood to cultivate it?" Fengyu was thinking about it when circles suddenly appeared in the lake. ripple.
The next moment, a long black shadow suddenly burst out of the water, with a person in its mouth.
"Alien beast?" Fengyu saw the unconscious Cheng Qi at a glance and was not surprised. The spell on the iron door was obviously meant to seal something inside, and judging from its strength, it was not something that these people could handle.
What surprised him was that the strange beast turned out to be a black water snake demon.
The black water snake demon is not a strange beast native to China, but was introduced from the cultivation world of the Western Regions. Different from ordinary snakes, they like cold and cold nature, are violent and bloodthirsty, and once caused serious harm to the local ecology of China. Later, the Holy Alliance spent great efforts to wipe them out, but unexpectedly there were still some left.
At this time, Fengyu thought of what the previous staff member said, that many people disappeared deep in the stream in the early years. Now it seems that most of them were attacked by this snake demon, and the women among them were captured and bled by it to water the Jade Blood Glazed Flower.
This is a fifth-level black water snake demon. If it swallows the jade-blood glazed flower, it may be able to advance to the sixth level in one step.
"Roar!!!" Seeing someone approaching the Jade Blood Glaze Flower, the snake demon immediately threw Cheng Qi away and lunged at Fengyu with an angry roar.
But Fengyu looked indifferent and casually dodged the snake demon's bloody mouth with a tap of his toes.
However, immediately after, the snake's tail glowing with green light swept towards him like lightning. Fengyu used his arms as a shield to defend from the front. The moment the two collided, there was a huge sound of metal collision.
This attack was not just a physical attack, but was also blessed by the powerful spiritual power of the black water snake demon, which knocked Fengyu flying hundreds of meters away.
However, Fengyu did not lose his position at all. On the contrary, he landed on the lake leisurely, not like being beaten back at all, but more like taking advantage of the situation and taking the initiative to distance himself.
Seeing this, the snake demon also rushed into the lake and gave chase. Compared with the shore, it was faster in the water and arrived in front of Fengyu in just two breaths.
"It's almost done here." Fengyu clenched his right hand into a fist. The snake demon that seemed to be moving so fast in the eyes of outsiders seemed to be motionless to him.
The reason why she didn't fight back just now was just because she was afraid that the Jade Blood Glazed Flower would be affected, but now that she came to the lake, she no longer had to worry about it.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Fengyu punched out, hitting the snake monster from the side with a heavy punch that made a sound that broke through the air. The terrifying force actually knocked the giant snake's huge body away and fell heavily to the shore.
The rumble from the snake demon's landing woke Cheng Qi up from his coma, and at the same time, a stinging pain spread throughout his body. She was bitten in the mouth by a snake demon before, and she was stabbed by snake fangs in many places on her body, causing a lot of blood.
"What happened?" She endured the pain and forced herself to sit up, looking around blankly, and then saw a scene she would never forget -
Fengyu jumped into the air, gathering spiritual energy on his fists, and then his whole body plummeted like a meteorite, slamming into the head of the snake demon!
The huge impact brought a thunderous roar, and the entire head of the snake demon exploded on the spot!
When the noise subsided and the smoke dispersed, Fengyu stood up slowly, with no blood on his clothes.
He spread his right hand, and a glowing cyan orb was clearly visible in his palm.
This is the crystal core of the alien beast, the source of spiritual energy in the alien beast's body, and it is also an important tool for cultivation.
"Okay, next..." Fengyu put away the snake demon crystal core, pulled out a bone from seven inches of it, and then skillfully peeled off part of the snake skin.
The pseudo-keel of the black water snake demon was considered a treasure even in the world of cultivation back then, and its snake skin and scales could be made into high-quality weapons and armor. The only pity is that the flesh of the black water snake demon is poisonous and too troublesome to handle, so Fengyu doesn't bother to search for it.
Cheng Qi, who was standing by, could hardly help but vomit when he saw this scene that looked like a slaughter scene. She really wanted to run away, but because of her injuries and the psychological shock, she couldn't even stand up at the moment.
It wasn't until Fengyu finished searching for the loot and lit a fire with a flick of his finger to burn the body of the snake demon that he looked at Cheng Qi again.
The moment their eyes met, Cheng Qi was shocked.
It's him? ! That guy I met at the door? !
Did he kill the basilisk? But doesn’t he have no cultivation? What's going on? !
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you would feel better if you met me again?" Fengyu's cold voice interrupted her thoughts.
"No, no...don't, don't kill me, I can do anything! As long as you let me go..." Looking at Fengyu who was getting closer, she shrank and carried her He cried and begged, but there was no trace of his previous arrogance.
Fengyu didn't say much, but twitched his fingers, and the blood flowing out of the wound on Cheng Qi's body suddenly started to flow, and then gathered in Fengyu's hand.
Then he ignored Cheng Qi and walked towards the Jade Blood Glaze Flower with the blood and poured it on.
The moment it was touched, the blood was quickly absorbed by the flowers and soil. As the last petal was filled with bright red, the entire flower stretched completely, blooming with brilliant light in the dim space.
"Not bad." Fengyu smiled, then picked the Jade Blood Glaze Flower and put it into a storage ring. He then took out a small bottle and threw it to Cheng Qi.
Cheng Qi opened the bottle in confusion and saw some green paste inside.
"This is a specially made ointment that can speed up your wound recovery." Fengyu said lightly, obviously in a good mood, so although he didn't like Cheng Qi, he still helped her.
"Ah, okay, okay," Cheng Qi hurriedly applied the ointment on her body and asked carefully, "What was that flower just now?"
Even she knew that it was definitely a top-notch treasure.
"Jade blood glazed flower." Fengyu said without any concealment.
Cheng Qi thought for a while, but didn't remember that there was such a herb, so she asked again: "How much does it cost?"
"Let me think about it, about a thousand holy stones."
"A thousand holy stones?!" Cheng Qi was shocked when she heard this. She had heard from her elders in the family that holy stones were important resources for cultivation, and each piece costs thousands of yuan. So wouldn't this flower be worth several million?
But what she didn't know was that those were just low-level holy stones that were not pure enough, while Fengyu was talking about high-level holy stones, and the difference was huge.
If it were put up for auction, this jade-blood glazed flower would be worth at least several billion yuan.
"First...sir," Cheng Qi hesitated and then said, "Our Jiugang Cheng family is willing to pay a large sum of money. Are you willing to give us this flower?"
"I don't want to." Fengyu flatly refused.
Cheng Qi was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then could you please pick the Yin Ling Grass in this cave for me? I'd like to give you a generous gift..."
"Not interested." Fengyu's attitude remained unchanged. He was not a mercenary and could not take anyone's job.
What's more, there is one more important thing now.
Regarding the mystery of the corruption of Yuhualing Lake, after walking around the lake just now, he didn't find anything worth paying attention to, so the clues might be in the lake, and he wanted to go down and find out.
"You are also a cultivator after all. You are not so weak. Just leave as soon as you are fine." Fengyu said the last words to Cheng Qi and plunged into the bottomless lake.
