Although Wei Suo had already heard from Shopkeeper Zhang and the others that there were four other cultivators, he didn't expect there to be another elegant female cultivator among the four cultivators. Thus, he was a bit surprised and couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
The female cultivator looked to be in her twenties, at the fourth level of the Circulatory Cycle Revolution. Her skin was fair, and she looked somewhat delicate. Her expression was also somewhat haggard.
"Our fellow Daoists who survived!"
The moment they saw the sudden increase in cultivators, the four cultivators inside the turtle shell were stunned for a moment before immediately becoming overjoyed.
"How did this fellow get so heavily injured?"
At this moment, when Wei Suo's gaze swept across the remaining three people, he was immediately shocked and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Inside the turtle shell, beside the elegant female cultivator stood a black robed cultivator. This black robed cultivator was at the first level of cultivation. He was tall and in his thirties, and his expression was somewhat old-fashioned. He didn't smile and gave off the feeling of an iron tower. The other man was squatting beside the heavily injured cultivator. The one taking care of the injured cultivator was a thirty year old man dressed in a green robe who looked like a scholar. This Confucian Scholar's cultivation base was at the third level of the Revolving Core realm. What surprised Wei Suo was that this cultivator had been severely injured. Half of his body was connected to one of his arms, and most of his flesh and blood had been cut off by some sort of sharp weapon. Although some medicine had been applied to his wounds, the blood had stopped flowing, but many of his bones were exposed, causing him to be alarmed.
"Fellow Daoist Yang came under those red fruits. That's why he ended up like this. It's just that the flesh and blood on his body was removed by Fellow Daoist Xiao." Manager Zhang looked at Wei Suo and the others as he explained.
"What do you mean, Shopkeeper Zhang?" Along the way, we also saw dead cultivators under these trees, so we didn't dare to approach these strange trees. Is there anything strange about these trees? " Upon seeing this heavily injured cultivator's miserable state and hearing that his flesh and blood had been removed by the others, Shopkeeper Kong and the others couldn't help but ask in astonishment.
"We have never seen any cultivators fall to their deaths, so we don't know how powerful they are. We can't help but be curious and want to get closer to see what's under these trees." He slowly explained, "As a result, when I was within 15 feet of the tree, I could feel that the Essence Qi emitted by the tree was as strange as a poisonous miasma. Although I noticed that something was wrong, I immediately backed off, and in the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the small half of my body was still as stiff as a piece of wood, unable to move at all. Moreover, this strange Essence Qi also spread through my body and flesh, but fortunately, Fellow Xiao was behind me at that time, so he was not affected by the strange Essence Qi from the tree.
"His flesh and blood has turned into rotten wood. Why is it so strange?" Wei Suo, Owner Qian, and the others could not help but look at each other, their hearts slightly chilled.
"If I hadn't been so determined to get rid of this blood and flesh, my entire body would have turned into rotten wood by now." The severely injured man Yang forced a smile and said, "Moreover, the Essence Qi of that tree is extremely strange, it can even penetrate the light barrier." At that time, the magic shields and shields of light that we cast weren't damaged in the slightest, but they didn't obstruct us in the slightest. This right arm of mine seemed to have just been contaminated by a moist mist, and soon after, the flesh and blood froze. "
"We only saw the corpses of those cultivators from far away turn grey. We didn't dare to approach them, so we didn't expect it to be this strange." Shopkeeper Qian still had some lingering fear in his heart as he turned to look at Manager Zhang. "Do you know anything about the other two trees?"
"Fellow Yang and Fellow Xiao only explored the red fruit trees and they encountered such misfortune. Those trees looked very strange and we didn't dare to approach them, so we don't know much about the other two trees." Manager Zhang shook his head.
"Fellow Daoists, do you have any superior healing pills on you? We are giving you the Hundred Herbs Muscle Powder." "However, I estimate that Fellow Yang will need at least two months to recover from this kind of medicine." At this moment, the seemingly weak and elegant yellow robed female cultivator bowed towards Wei Suo and the others as she asked softly.
"I have some spiritual medicine that should be able to help you recover quickly." After a flash of light in his eyes, Wei Suo said this.
With a wave of his hand, a red light shone from his hand, filling the entire huge tortoise shell. He then took out the Blood Crystal.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, a drop of fragrant blood-red medicinal liquid slowly condensed into true essence and flowed out from the bottom of the blood crystal. Wei Suo stretched out his hand and directly blew away this drop of blood-red medicinal liquid, sprinkling it onto half of Spirit Master Yang's body. Then, he concentrated his true essence and dripped a drop of the medicinal liquid into Spirit Master Yang's mouth.
When the first drop of medicine landed on the man named Yang's body, disbelief and pleasant surprise immediately flashed in the man named Yang's eyes. Seeing the second drop of blood-red medicine come flying over, the man named Yang impatiently opened his mouth and swallowed it.
"This …" The delicate and elegant yellow robed female cultivator and the other cultivators beside her immediately revealed looks of extreme shock.
This was because these cultivators first saw that many small flesh buds were quickly growing out from the wounds on Spirit Master Yang's body. His injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed.
"Fellow Daoist Ji …." Could this be a blood crystal?! " When Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Qian saw this scene, they were stunned. After a moment of shock, disbelief flashed across their eyes. They couldn't help but look at Wei Suo and ask.
"I am indeed a Blood Crystal." Wei Suo nodded his head and kept the Blood Crystal in his hand.
"What kind of treasure is a Blood Crystal?" Seeing the astonishing recovery speed of the man named Yang, Shopkeeper Kong couldn't help but gasp in shock as he asked this.
"Blood Crystals are extremely rare treasures from the Primordial Era. They can be used to absorb the blood and qi of demon beasts, and then they can be used to produce holy blood. The holy blood that the blood crystals produce is comparable to immortal pills that can treat bodily injuries. " Shopkeeper Zhang still looked at Wei Suo in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that a "low level cultivator" like Wei Suo would actually have such a treasure on his person.
"Fellow Daoist, are you surnamed Ji?" It is my great fortune to have such a treasure on you. It seems that my injury will only take a few days to recover. Thank you Fellow Daoist for saving me! " The man surnamed Yang felt it for a moment and could not help but excitedly thank Wei Suo.
"Fellow Daoists, which city are you from?" And why would they come to True Nether City? "
Following which, the elegant yellow robed female cultivator naturally could not help but converse with Wei Suo and the others.
This elegant yellow robed woman was called Xia Yu Bing, and beside her was a black tower-like man dressed in a vestment called Du Wei. The two of them were a dao companion, the bearded Ancient Sword Sect Swordsman Zhou Yu faction's companion, a rogue cultivator from the Ancient Sword City in the center of the Tianxuan Continent. Their group had come to the center of the Tianxuan Continent and encountered a beast tide, and they managed to survive.
After chatting for a while, they heard manager Zhang and the group of cultivators' plans. They planned to hide here for a long time because they felt that if they hid here for another ten days or half a month, there was a high chance that a large group of cultivators would arrive.
In their imaginations, even if the beast tide swept across more than half of the northern part of the Profound Sky Continent, it would definitely be suppressed, because to cultivators, this beast tide also meant a shocking amount of resources. In the sects of the Profound Sky Continent, many rogue cultivators would definitely come here.
"Fellow Daoists, since all of the demonic beasts in True Nether City have been cleared out by my fellow Daoists, my fellow Daoists should have collected quite a few Demonic Cores. The Demonic Cores of water type Demonic Beasts are quite useful to me, I wonder if my fellow Daoists can take some Demonic Cores of water type Demonic Beasts and exchange them with me." "Spirit stones, medicinal pills, or magical equipment, I can exchange them all." For Wei Suo, who knew that Tianqiong's lifespan was nearing its end, he was very clear that things wouldn't go as smoothly as Shopkeeper Zhang and the others' plans. However, after hearing what Shopkeeper Zhang and the others were planning, Wei Suo didn't say anything.
Although his cultivation speed of the Water Emperor's Art of Devouring was astonishing, he didn't even know how much spiritual energy it would take to advance to the Aurous Core stage. In addition, he also cultivated the Celestial Dragon Star Tempering Body Technique. His Aurous Core was many times larger than the average cultivator, so the amount of spiritual energy required to increase by one stage was many times greater than the average Aurous Core stage cultivator's.
Moreover, Wei Suo was already at the fourth level of the Aurous Core Stage. In order to break through to the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage, the amount of spiritual energy required would be terrifying.
A single peak grade nine ancient dragon's beast core was equivalent to the total number of level five and above water type demon beasts.
Furthermore, when Wei Suo advanced from the third level of the Aurous Core Stage to the fourth level of the Aurous Core Stage, he had already consumed several Heavenly Dragon's bones and several Water Type Demonic Cores.
The next step was to double the amount of spiritual energy needed to reach the fifth level of the Aurous Core stage. It was hard to imagine how many thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary water type beast cores would be enough.
Water type Demonic Cores of Grade 5 and above were usually very rare. Unless it was a city with four sides surrounding the sea and numerous water type Demonic Beasts, like Sea Immortal City, an ordinary city could collect all the Demonic Beasts of Grade 5 and above in the whole city, with only dozens of them. If he wanted to hunt by himself, it would be very hard to find demonic beasts that were at least mid-tier fifth-level. Perhaps he might not even be able to find a few within a day, which was much slower than buying and harvesting.
However, with these kinds of beasts and a large number of demonic beasts, it was an excellent opportunity for Wei Suo.
In reality, this beast tide was a huge opportunity for every cultivator. They could obtain tens or even hundreds of times more resources than normal. However, it would depend on whether or not the cultivator had enough luck to survive.
"The demonic core of a water attribute demon beast?" There should be some, but certainly not many. We just chose some of the materials that we needed, but we didn't collect the beast cores or the materials that the majority of the beasts had. " After hearing Wei Suo's question, Shopkeeper Zhang and the others looked at each other and immediately replied.
"The majority of the demon beasts piled in the valley behind True Nether City haven't collected the materials?" Wei Suo was a bit surprised and could not understand, because to all cultivators, it should be something worth only spirit stones. Furthermore, these cultivators did not even know that the sky might continue to crack, so logically speaking, they should have kept everything of value. Even if they were useless, they should have kept it for future sale.
Even Wei Suo, who had previously been severely injured, was unable to collect the corpse of the demonic beast. Now that his injuries had recovered to the point where he could activate his bracelet of holding and ancient storage ring, he would definitely be able to collect the corpse of the demonic beast he saw next.
