章節 28: Chapter 28: Obtaining the Desolate Cicada Blood Seed

The huge body of the Night Demon Ape fell to the ground with a loud crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.Its enormous and hideous head rolled on the ground, and blood gushed out from its neck like a spring, dyeing a large area of the ground red.On this head, a pair of sharp fangs still emitted a chilling cold light, demonstrating the ferocity and brutality of the Night Demon Ape when it was alive.However, those eyes that were once filled with violence and killing intent had closed forever.Witnessing this scene, Fenrir Howe, who was standing aside, was shocked in his heart: "In my dream...""Soon in the future, an inner disciple from the External Affairs Hall will pass by this place.""That person originally wanted to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, but unexpectedly overestimated his own strength and was killed by the Night Demon Ape! Losing his life and his cultivation path!""If I remember correctly, the realm of that inner disciple at that time...""Was at the fourth level of Spirit Nurturing, and he also had a medium-grade spiritual weapon with him!""And Brother Ryan, you actually managed to kill the Night Demon Ape on the spot with just the third level of Spirit Nurturing?"Ryan wasn't unscathed either.Not to mention the blood he spat out, his left arm was hanging limply, and it was obvious that the bone inside was broken."The bones aren't tough enough!"Ryan frowned tightly, and a sharp pain hit his heart.In the next moment, he circulated his spiritual power, and a cool aura slightly circulated around the broken bone.The pain disappeared immediately!Ryan felt much more relaxed."Sure enough, I'm still lacking in combat experience...""In a head-on fight, compared with demonic beasts, human cultivators don't have an advantage.""I was able to win this battle. On the one hand, Fenrir Howe was there to hold the line and launch feint attacks to put pressure on the enemy. On the other hand...""It's because my three basic attributes of defense, strength, and physical strength are all three times that of cultivators of the same realm!"There was no technique involved, just relying on high stats!The current situation was that although his skin wasn't damaged and his muscles were still as tough as before, but...The bones in his left arm were broken by the counterattack of the Night Demon Ape's punch!Fenrir Howe also noticed Ryan's injury.The young champion, who had just experienced a fierce battle, gasped for breath and joked: "Brother Ryan, you don't need to worry.""Although it's said that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or tendon injury, for cultivators, such a minor injury is nothing at all!""Even with the lowest-grade pills, it can be cured quickly without leaving any sequelae!"Ryan nodded slightly and regained his previous cold and aloof demeanor.His violent and crazy performance during the fight just now was partly due to his true nature, and on the other hand, it was to perfect his persona.Just pretending to be a noble young master in the muddy world was too thin and couldn't support the image of a celestial prodigy.However...After that battle, many things had been exposed.Ryan thought to himself: "The fourth level of Spirit Nurturing is the Bone Refinement Realm. At that stage, a cultivator's bones will become extremely tough, even surpassing refined steel!""I need to improve my level as soon as possible and reach that realm!""The cultivation level of the third level of Spirit Nurturing is really too low. It's completely not enough!"He planned to quickly pre-borrow after repaying the debt of the cause of cultivation and rush into the fourth level of Spirit Nurturing as quickly as possible!While thinking, Ryan cut open the chest of the Night Demon Ape, separated the bones, and took out a huge heart that was like a coconut.From this heart, he could sense the enrichment of spiritual auras.This indicated that it was a very good spiritual material. Perhaps it would be useful for alchemy, drawing talismans, or artifact refining?Even if he didn't know those skills, selling it and exchanging it for spirit stones would also be good.Fenrir Howe hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the head of the Night Demon Ape and reminded: "The brain marrow of this demonic beast is of high value and is no less valuable than its heart.""There is a pill that is very helpful for cultivators in the early stage of the Spirit Nurturing Realm to improve their cultivation. Adding a little bit of the brain marrow of the Night Demon Ape can double the efficacy of the pill."The so-called early stage of the Spirit Nurturing Realm referred to the first to third levels of the Spirit Nurturing Realm.Although it wasn't useful for Ryan, who now aimed for the fourth level, others could exchange it for treasures of the same level!At this moment, Ryan had already regained his previous calm and composed appearance.He picked up the head of the Night Demon Ape with one hand, looked at it for a while, and said: "Tsk... It's quite heavy!""I'll give this head and the heart to Brother Fenrir Howe!""We happened to meet here today, fought side by side, and fought against the monster together.""Brother Fenrir Howe remained calm in the face of danger. Before, you clearly thought that we would definitely lose, but you were still willing to cover my retreat.""Now you've even helped me obtain the [Desolate Cicada Blood Seed]. I, Ryan, can't let you get nothing in return, can I?"Fenrir Howe's eyes flickered slightly: "You made the greatest contribution in killing the Night Demon Ape today. I shouldn't be greedy for the credit, but...""Since Brother Ryan has already made a decision, I'll accept it with gratitude!""However, I'll only take its head. Brother Ryan, you should keep the heart of the Night Demon Ape!"One should get as many benefits as one's efforts deserve.Ryan was generous, and he couldn't be greedy for small advantages either.As for the other parts of the Night Demon Ape's body, although they were all materials of the demonic beast and quite valuable, but...Ryan's Treasure Bag had limited storage space and couldn't hold so many things.And Fenrir Howe's realm wasn't high enough, and his carrying capacity was limited.Regrettably, those things could only be left here.Less profit meant a loss!Ryan was a bit emotional: "What a waste."The slight dissatisfaction in his heart made a thought in the depths of Ryan's heart become clearer and firmer."If I can refine the [Life-bound Magic Gourd], I won't encounter this situation again!"Ryan's thoughts raced: "By then, after killing any demons, ghosts, or monsters, I can refine them all into spiritual wine for my cultivation, without wasting any resources at all!"Thinking like this, Ryan quickly walked forward.He stretched out his hand and picked the [Desolate Cicada Blood Seed] that was embedded in the deepest part of the cave.Zizi zizi zizi...Pale smoke clouds diffused from Ryan's body and lingered around the rare treasure.The Desolate Cicada Blood Seed, which was as brilliant as a ruby, gradually took on Ryan's unique aura.This made the originally calm Desolate Cicada Blood Seed begin to undergo wonderful changes.Su~Su~It vibrated its wings.As time passed, it gradually changed its original form.The Desolate Cicada Blood Seed was like being carefully carved by an invisible skillful hand, slowly revealing some strange marks.These marks became clearer and clearer, and finally formed a pattern that looked like a human face.When Ryan got closer to observe carefully, he was surprised to find that the face was exactly the same as his own!Every tiny expression and every line was vivid.It was as if a wisp of his soul aura had been integrated into the Desolate Cicada Blood Seed."Is this equivalent to fingerprint verification, iris verification, or DNA binding in the world of immortals and martial arts?"A ridiculous thought suddenly popped up in Ryan's mind as a transmigrator: "No!""It should be a bit more advanced than those, similar to brainwave binding?"No wonder his master asked him to come and obtain it in person.As soon as the Desolate Cicada Blood Seed was touched, it immediately recognized its master!This kind of thing really couldn't be done by others.Seeing the changes of the Desolate Cicada Blood Seed, Fenrir Howe suddenly said beside him: "That Night Demon Ape not only had blood evil qi in its body, but its soul was also filthy and turbid.""Once it really touched the Desolate Cicada Blood Seed, it would cause its destruction instead of recognizing its master.""So, it only chose to settle here, enjoying the ability of the Desolate Cicada Blood Seed to purify the environment and the backlash of blood evil qi, but never really touched the Desolate Cicada Blood Seed!"After getting this answer, Ryan suddenly understood.He blinked, looked Fenrir Howe up and down, and nodded slightly: "Brother Fenrir Howe is truly knowledgeable!""Ryan has learned a lot!"Fenrir Howe had just spoken in a casual tone, seemingly at random. In fact, he was gradually testing.After the two joined hands and fought a bloody battle, their relationship was naturally different from before.He was also slowly showing some of his unique aspects to Ryan, such as his knowledge and vision that exceeded what he should have at his level, wanting to see how Ryan would react.If Ryan made a big fuss and insisted on getting to the bottom of it, then...Fenrir Howe would use the excuses he had prepared long ago to prevaricate and then gradually alienate Ryan.However, Ryan showed a very sense of propriety.He respected his secrets, knowing that if he didn't say anything, it must be because he had difficulties and couldn't or didn't want to tell the truth.This was good!Fenrir Howe, who obtained a lot of information about future adventures and major events in his dreams every night, recognized Ryan more and more.If he had only regarded Ryan as an ordinary friend before, after today's life-and-death battle, he truly regarded Ryan as a brother.The goal was achieved!Ryan got what he wanted and was in a good mood. He then returned with Fenrir Howe.On their way back, they didn't rush but showed a bit of calmness, as if they were going out for an outing.After about half a day.Ryan and Fenrir Howe returned to the foot of Drunken Immortal Peak!There was no need to mention Ryan, who was covered in blood as if he had just climbed out of a pool of blood.He was emitting a strong smell of blood, which made passers-by couldn't help but look at him.On Fenrir Howe's back, the huge head of the demonic beast was tied with torn pieces of cloth.The hideous head of the Night Demon Ape was so recognizable that it quickly attracted the onlookers and admiration of many inner, outer, and registered disciples."Hiss...""It's this monster! I remember it! Before, when I went out to gather herbs, I saw an inner sister at the third level of Spirit Nurturing brutally killed by this thing! I was lucky to escape by pretending to die!""Our Xuanji Cave Heaven is vast and rich in resources, with a large territory. Many mortal dynasties can't even reach one-tenth of our Immortal Sect's territory, and the spiritual energy here is extremely abundant! It's quite common to have monsters born and do evil and eat people from time to time...""Yes, ordinary people say that 'it's easy to cultivate in the Immortal Sect', but they don't understand that there are also crises everywhere in the Immortal Sect!""Deacons and elders also need to cultivate and have their own affairs to deal with. It's normal to have some omissions.""I think it's deliberately arranged by the big shots in the sect. They leave a bit of crisis to train disciples and stimulate us to improve our cultivation realms!""Anyway, the Night Demon Ape has been killed! True Disciple Ryan has done a great deed!""I'm so envious of that Fenrir Howe kid. Although he's just a registered disciple, he managed to curry favor with True Disciple Ryan. He'll probably have a bright future!"Hearing this, Ryan's expression on his face didn't change, but he was a bit emotional in his heart.People in the world always had difficulty seeing the truth.It takes great wisdom to see through the fog and understand everything.As long as Fenrir Howe didn't die, he would definitely stand out. But that was because...He was a person with good fortune and had dream adventures!Judging from the current situation, if Fenrir Howe really achieved something in cultivation in the future, outsiders might mistakenly think that it was all "thanks to Ryan's appreciation and promotion".However...Ryan glanced at Fenrir Howe.The other party also seemed quite satisfied with the gains from this trip, and...With himself as an excuse, Fenrir Howe could also shine more brightly, and he wouldn't need to hide many of his unusual aspects, right?When registered, outer, inner disciples, and deacons were all praising the fact that [Ryan killed the Night Demon Ape angrily and eliminated the harm for the low-level cultivators of the Wine Sword Lineage]...Ryan had already climbed the stairs, returned the medium-grade spiritual weapon-level long sword to inner disciple Sharon, thanked her seriously, and then walked leisurely back to the mountain top.He didn't go into the house but sat on the ground, cross-legged on the cushion.Ryan calmed his mind and concentrated on cultivating to repay his debt.After waiting for about two hours.Swish!A bright blue stream of light flew from the sky, creating layers of white ripples in the air.The sword light tore through the wind, broke the sound barrier, and fell in front of Ryan, transforming into the beautiful figure of True Person of Turbid Wine!
