Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 21: Linghu
When Suzaku heard that he was asked to give out one-twelfth of his blood essence, he was stunned.
In terms of biological age, Suzaku has lived for tens of thousands of years, but because his consciousness was born today, his mentality is only that of a baby. Although she has the influence of ancient bloodline, she has only been promoted to the level of an ordinary girl. How can she fight with a human spirit like Tang Jie.
With a few words, he was no longer an opponent and was completely defeated.
Losing is a loss, the girl is still not convinced, kicking her feet and shouting: "No, no, just no!"
Deep in his heart, Suzaku also knew that this matter was too important and could not easily nod in agreement.
Tang Jie was not in a hurry, just smiled and said: "I also know that taking away one-twelfth of the blood essence at once will have a great impact on you."
"It's good if you know." Suzaku almost cried.
"In this case, how about we find a compromise? The girl can pay in installments."
"Instalment payment?" This new term puzzled Suzaku.
Tang Jie roughly explained the meaning of installment payment, and then said: "Look, we can divide one-twelfth of the blood essence into five hundred years to pay. In this case, you only need to pay every year A very small amount of blood essence...probably...by the way, the blood essence of a holy beast is usually 10,000 drops, right?"
"How can there be so much? The Holy Beast at its peak only has about 3,000 drops. This girl is restricted and cannot return to the void. She only has 999 drops of essence and blood. No matter how much more it is, she can't do it." Suzaku revealed his trump card without any thought.
Tang Jie did the math: "Oh, let's calculate it as a thousand drops. One-twelfth is eighty-three point three. If it is paid in installments over five hundred years, it will be almost one drop of blood in six years. In this way, Come, you don’t have to worry about the whereabouts of your realm.”
"Okay, okay!" Suzaku nodded happily.
Six years of paying a drop of essence and blood is really nothing. Not to mention that the realm will not fall, it is easy to recover.
The more blood and essence is lost, the slower the recovery will be. If hundreds of drops are lost at a time, it will take Suzaku hundreds of years to recover. If one drop is lost, it will take more than a month to recover. The recovery speed differs by dozens of times.
This is like donating a limited amount of blood every month, it will not have any impact on people. But releasing a large amount of blood at once will have a huge impact on the entire person.
So Suzaku was very satisfied with this plan, forgetting that he had already accepted Tang Jie's price.
Seeing Suzaku nod, Tang Jie continued: "In that case, we have to calculate the interest."
"Interest?" Suzaku's eyes widened.
"Yes, installment payment requires interest, didn't you know?" Next, Tang Jie explained the interest to Suzaku.
Zhuque was dumbfounded and asked: "How much is the interest?"
Tang Jie patted her shoulder: "I'll do the math for you. Don't worry, we're all old acquaintances. I'll give you an absolutely low interest rate. For the time being, let's calculate the annual interest rate at one point. The principal essence and blood is eighty-three. Bits and pieces, the repayment period is five hundred years, in equal amounts of principal and interest, and needs to be repaid every year..."
Tang Jie calculated while talking. He had wisdom and he could calculate quickly, and he quickly came to the conclusion: "0.83 drops per year. In that case, let's use one drop per year."
"What? One drop per year?" Suzaku cried out: "Isn't that just five hundred? I want to give you five hundred drops, half of my blood essence! Why is this interest rate so powerful? You must be cheating me!" ”
Tang Jie looked at her with contempt: "What I give you is the lowest interest rate."
"This is impossible!" Suzaku shouted.
"Ask as you like, you won't find this price anywhere."
There were also money banks in this era, and lending money to earn interest was nothing unusual.
The annual interest rate is one cent. This is an unprecedentedly low interest rate. It is a good price. This is mainly because Tang Jie was afraid of angering Suzaku too much, so he took the initiative to make a large concession.
But Suzaku didn't believe it at all.
In the ancient times when its ancestors existed, civilization was far from what it is today. Everywhere is wild, business is not prosperous, banks are unheard of, and there is no concept of interest.
For Suzaku, five hundred years passed in a matter of seconds.
So for it, it would never be possible to imagine that eighty-three drops of blood essence could increase to five hundred drops in just one sleep.
For this reason, when Zhuque heard what Tang Jie said, he shouted: "You lied to me..."
"If I lie to you, my life is yours. If I don't lie to you, the essence and blood must be paid according to the price."
Hearing this, Suzaku couldn't help but tremble.
Hearing what he said, Suzaku finally felt that he was probably wrong.
Although she could afford a drop of blood every year, the thought of having her blood drawn for five hundred years in a row was not a good feeling at all.
All he could say was Nunuo: "I can't get out now..."
"If you can't get out, you can always send your spiritual thoughts to me, right? If you can't, I will try my best to get through this place and let you go free. But before you can pay off your debt, you need to follow me first."
Place a ray of spiritual thought on Tang Jie to see the outside world?
Suzaku's eyes lit up.
Although I can't escape from here and enter the world, even if I can see the outside world, it will undoubtedly be great.
What's more, with spiritual sustenance, Suzaku no longer has to be so lonely.
Now she is not like before. After her spiritual wisdom is opened, her expectation for communication has increased infinitely. It would be good to be able to send his spiritual thoughts to Tang Jie, even just by talking.
"Is it really okay?" she asked.
"Of course, why not?" Tang Jie replied with a smile.
He has lost the desire to be a god, but the thought of Suzaku is also a good thing.
Of course, don’t expect engulfment.
"Okay." Suzaku nodded: "If everything is as you said, I agree."
"How can I be sure that you won't deny it?" Tang Jie's eyes lit up.
Suzaku replied: "We take the way of heaven as an alliance and place our oaths on it. If you violate the oath, you will be punished by heavenly tribulation!"
The oath of heaven!
Only a being like Suzaku can entrust the promise to heaven. This is also the most reliable oath.
Tang Jie was overjoyed and said: "Okay, that's it."
With this oath of heaven, Tang Jie is no longer afraid that the Suzaku will fly out of his palm.
Five hundred drops of essence and blood is only part of what he asked for. What's more important is that as long as the essence and blood are not repaid, Suzaku can never leave him.
It is true that she did not sign an agreement to sell herself as a servant, but as long as she is around, are you still afraid that she will not serve him? Even if he doesn't make him his servant, Tang Jie still has many ways to control Suzaku.
Of course, Suzaku is not free yet, so such strong help cannot be used for the time being.
Dang Jie believed that sooner or later he would pass the nine tests in the secret realm.
As for the time issue, Tang Jie was not even worried. If the barrier cannot be broken in five hundred years, can't I postpone the debt collection? No matter how stupid Suzaku was, she would never be so stupid that Tang Jie didn't want her, so she hurriedly paid off her debt.
As long as there is debt, Suzaku is destined to be unable to escape, and I am afraid it will take a long time for Suzaku to understand this.
After making the oath of heavenly alliance, Tang Jie stood up and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, we can start the next thing."
"What's the matter?" Suzaku was puzzled.
"Of course it's a fight." Tang Jie clicked his knuckles:
"According to the agreement, I have to resist three attacks from you before I am eligible to get the fairy grass, right? In addition... it's time to open the next level."
————————————
There is a white jade platform in the center of the valley.
It is extremely rare that there is no fairy grass elixir on the stage, but there is a huge iron ring in the center.
This is the gateway to the next level.
At the earliest time, Tang Jie once analyzed that the fifth and sixth formations of the Nine Ultimate Immortal Killing Formation were extraordinary. It was not until he discovered this that he knew he was wrong.
Starting from the fifth formation, that is, from the beginning of entering this secret world, the difficulty of clearing the Nine Jue Immortal Formation has obviously changed dramatically.
Since the White Jade Platform is located in the valley, and the valley is under the surveillance of Suzaku, there is actually only one way to enter the next level through the White Jade Platform, which is to resist her three fire attacks.
Three attacks were both the standard for getting the medicine and the standard for passing the level, but Tang Jie didn't know it at first and chose to get the medicine.
Such a high standard cannot be surpassed, and only by upgrading to a gold and steel body can there be hope.
This may be the reason why there are towering mountains and rich spiritual energy in this secret realm, because according to the arrangement of the soldier master, entering the fifth formation is the real entry. Only after cultivating here to a certain level , to be eligible for the next level of adventure.
As for the copying technique, it is used to steal the elixir in the valley. Relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Li Jing's cultivation is too slow. Relying on the copying technique to steal the fairy grass, and then using the fairy grass to strengthen himself, he finally survived three attacks from Suzaku, thus successfully entering the valley and opening the next level.
This should be the arrangement of the military leader.
No matter how good the arrangement is, it cannot be completely followed by future generations.
The military leader would not have thought that when Tang Jie came in, he would also bring He Chong and others with him.
It was precisely because of He Chong's existence that even if Tang Jie later figured out all this, he never chose to open it. After all, he was still under the suppression of He Chong at that time. If the ban on the valley was lifted, anyone could enter the valley. With He Chong's strength, he would definitely dominate the valley. At that time, Tang Jie was about to cry without tears.
So Tang Jie has always been patient. Even if he passed the test of the Fire Bird again and again, he always chose to take the elixir.
Until today!
Boom!
A roaring flame ignited in the valley, and Tang Jie strode out of the fire, as if his charred body would recover a little with every step he took. After taking ten steps, the body had completely returned to its original shape, and the blood-colored cloak reappeared on his body.
After the three attacks, Tang Jie came to the white jade platform.
He stepped forward and grabbed the iron ring, and a familiar feeling suddenly arose - the iron ring was made of mica fine gold.
Tang Jie grabbed the iron ring and lifted it up suddenly, but failed to pull it out.
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Is it really a test of strength?"
The next moment, his body grew stronger, and surging power continued to overflow from his body, as if an invisible tornado wrapped around him, blowing wind and clouds everywhere. Tang Jie had grabbed the iron ring and pulled it into the air.
This time, the hoop was finally pulled.
As the iron chains were pulled out of the jade platform, a huge rumbling sound came from the white jade platform.
Four huge copper pillars suddenly appeared around the White Jade Platform.
The copper pillars rose from the ground, and they were engraved with mysterious patterns. Tang Jie just glanced at them and heard countless voices roaring. He felt as if he was on an ancient battlefield, and the sounds of iron horses and fighting could be heard vividly in his ears. , the blood boils with murderous intent. His heart was shocked, and he said in shock: "Dao pattern!"
The four copper pillars were clearly engraved with Dao patterns, and they were illusory Dao patterns.
Tang Jie has long understood this.
The copying technique is the most complete expression of illusion, and it already contains the illusory way. If the prediction is correct, it should be the same as the Bing Zijue. It is the law in the light and the way in the dark. It is to pass down the way in the form of law. , is also the most terrifying thing about the military leader.
The four copper pillars in front of you are engraved with the patterns of the illusory path.
Is this the reward for completing the fifth level?
As soon as Tang Jie came up with this idea, he knew he was wrong.
The next moment the four copper pillars glowed together, and Tang Jie found that the entire scene on the white jade platform had changed.
I felt as if I was suddenly in an endless void, surrounded by stars.
He saw a boundless giant standing among the stars.
It’s the military leader!
He is tall and majestic, standing between heaven and earth. His magnificence is even greater than that of the Guangfa God seen before.
Standing in the void, the huge shadow of the soldier master began to move slowly.
Look carefully, he is clearly boxing.
Although it was just some seemingly simple movements, at that moment Tang Jie could feel that every movement contained the truth of heaven and earth.
When he was concentrating on the movements of the soldier leader, he could even feel the changes in the breath and the rush of power.
While watching, he followed the movements of the soldier master. At first, they were similar in shape but far apart in meaning. However, as he followed the movements over and over again, the energy and blood in his body surged, and he gradually caught up with the rhythm of the soldier master. , Tang Jie felt more and more excited in his heart, the more he beat, the more excited his blood was, and the more he beat, the more powerful he felt in his body.
It is a kind of power that comes from the depths of the heart. It is strong, majestic, and vast, as if it is a world in itself. The blood is like the Yangtze River, flowing endlessly, sending massive power to all parts of the body.
Phew!
Phew!
Phew!
On the jade platform, Tang Jie was vigorous with his fists and kicks. What was surprising was that he did not attack quickly. Every movement was slowed down, just like Tai Chi, but the lingering emotions around him The air flow became more and more intense, as if he was punching fast and fiercely. In the end, Tang Jie's movements became slower and slower, and the air flow became more and more violent. It gradually formed a vortex, and hurricanes began to roll up from all directions, heading towards Tang Jie gathered around him and formed a huge tornado with Tang Jie as the center.
On the jade platform, the tornado is vast.
The strong wind almost covered the entire jade platform, and only a huge figure was faintly exposed, dancing fists on the stage. His posture and courage seemed to have the power of a star sea giant.
Finally, after Tang Jie finished the punch shown by the Star Sea Giant for the twelfth time, he suddenly punched the air with his right fist.
I saw a huge iron fist shadow suddenly appear in the sky, rushing into the air, breaking through the clouds, and rushing to the sky energy barrier.
Boom!
The iron fist collided with a colorful light that shot into the sky.
The power of this attack is so brave.
At the same time, Tang Jie on the jade platform below also burst out laughing: "Demon Slayer Fist! This is the Demon Slayer Fist!"
The punch he just used was the Demon-Destroying Fist, but it was no longer a fishing-like explosion, but a real fighting method, a powerful boxing method specially developed for physical training, and just now Tang Jie That punch was somewhat similar to the one punched by the Giant King Tianwai.
This is the fighting method of the military master, the fighting skills that should be cultivated physically.
Until today, Tang Jie was considered a complete physical practitioner.
Before that, the spells he learned were all related to legal cultivation. With his level, although he could also use spells such as Chaos Kongbu, his ability to perform them was far inferior to that of the clone.
Only the Demon Slayer Fist is the true physical training and combat skill.
I really didn’t expect it to appear at the end of the fifth level.
However, after being almost drained of all his strength by this punch, Tang Jie also realized why this was the case - the power of the Demon Slayer Fist was far beyond imagination, and even ordinary magical powers could not match it. If you don't have enough cultivation and use it forcefully, you may even tire yourself to death.
The Demon Slayer Fist that Tang Jie developed before could only be used at the cost of permanently reducing his strength. From this aspect, he actually did nothing wrong, because even the warrior master couldn't perform a demon-killing fist at a low level of strength. Tang Jie actually solved the low-level application problem of Demon Slayer Fist in his own way, but the price he paid was a bit high.
At this moment, as Tang Jie understood the Demon-Destroying Fist, he waved his hand, and the illusions on the four copper pillars disappeared at the same time. They stood still, but in the middle of the white jade platform, a black hole appeared.
When he came to the black hole, Tang Jie looked down and saw nothing in the black hole below.
Is this the new sixth formation?
Since the secret realm is isolated and outside the boundary, Tang Jie originally expected not to change the scene again, but to directly unlock new restrictions like the third and fourth formations. But like now, an underground world appeared directly, but it was still beyond Tang Jie's expectation.
This secret realm is much bigger than I imagined.
There was a stone staircase at the entrance of the cave. Tang Jie walked down the stone staircase and walked down for about a hundred meters before finally stepping onto the ground.
Tang Jie stretched out his hand, and a piece of fire rose from the palm of his hand, illuminating the surrounding area. Tang Jie saw that he was in a lava cave.
Large swaths of stalactites hung around the cave and on the top wall, some of which shone with crystal jade. Tang Jie looked carefully and found that they were large stalagmites from the Jade Spring.
Jade Spring Stalagmite is an extremely rare spiritual material.
This kind of stalagmite itself is not of much value, but once it grows to a certain level, it will have a very special ability to condense gas into liquid.
That is to say, spiritual energy is turned into spiritual liquid, just like Shuiyue Cave, forming a so-called spiritual spring.
This is also the origin of the name Yuquan Stalagmite.
Lingquans are both natural and man-made, and Yuquan stalagmites are considered to be the best tools for creating spiritual springs.
The jade spring stalagmites in front of you are scattered and scattered. They seem chaotic, but in fact they imply some strange rules. It is obvious that they are not naturally generated, but are artificially laid. Drops of spiritual liquid condensed on the tip of the stalagmite, which was the origin of the crystal jade light.
I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate before a drop of spiritual liquid drips from the stalagmite.
Below the stalagmite are jade grooves, criss-crossing each other. The spiritual liquid does not break when it falls on the stone, but rolls into the texture and flows slowly through it. The trickles gather into a stream and flow forward. .
Following the stream, Tang Jie walked out of the cave and saw a lake in front of him.
A lake formed by the condensation of spiritual fluid is purer and more majestic than Shuiyuedongtian!
Tang Jie couldn't help but tremble.
I didn’t expect that there would be such a spiritual lake under the secret realm.
There is also a small island in the center of Linghu Lake. The island is not big, and a hut can be vaguely seen on the island.
Tang Jie's figure flashed~IndoMTL.com~ When he arrived on the island, he saw some flowers and plants planted on the island. Surprisingly, they were all ordinary things and there was no magic medicine. Walking along the garden path, Tang Jie reached the depths and saw that there was indeed a thatched cottage inside.
I walked over and saw that the thatched house was empty, except for some pots and pans and a bed, there was nothing else. There was just a Shichen Bead hanging on the roof. It is at this time that the dust beads shine, making the thatched house spotless, even after thousands of years, it has not decayed.
If we talk about treasures, Chen Bead is probably the only treasure on the island at this time.
There is a garden behind the thatched house, in which the spirit grains were planted. They have stopped growing, but they are not dead either.
Under the influence of the Time Dust Bead, the entire island neither rots nor grows, as if time has frozen at this moment.
After walking around the island, Tang Jie found nothing, so he turned around and left.
When he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly turned and stopped at something in the corner, and his heart suddenly shook.
It was a small black wooden tripod that looked ordinary.
