‘Wuhongdan’ is a highly effective second-level physical healing elixir. It has various functions such as invigorating qi and blood production, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
At the same time, this is also an elixir that can be directly exchanged in the treasure house of the 'Whip Holder'.
A bottle of ten medium-grade elixirs has an exchange price of 80 points of merit. If converted into the price of a spiritual stone, it is about 400 mid-grade spiritual stones.
Gao Yuan, who had lost both energy and blood due to using the "Blood Shadow Escape Technique", directly used his merit points to exchange for five bottles of top-grade 'Five Red Pills' in order to recover from his extremely weak state as soon as possible.
Compared with the middle grade, the top grade ‘Five Red Pills’ have stronger medicinal effects but relatively mild medicinal properties. Of course, its exchange price is equally beautiful, with the exchange price being as high as 600 merit points!
"Swallow three thousand intermediate spirit stones in one gulp! Of those direct Kaiyuan realm disciples of the Hunyuan family in Qingliang City, there are probably not many who are as luxurious as me, right?"
After taking the last high-grade 'Five Red Pills' in the bottle, Gao Yuan took the initiative to run the 'Blood Jade Skill', constantly integrating the power of the medicine to restore himself, while laughing at himself in his mind.
This was already the afternoon of the fourth day after he returned from the wild forest.
In the past few days, with the continuous nourishment of three bottles of top-grade 'Five Red Pills', twelve bottles of 'Body Refining Pills', and soup made from hundreds of kilograms of monster bones, he finally recovered from the extreme weakness of losing both energy and blood.
In the state, he gradually recovered.
"Tsk, although the power of this "Blood Shadow Escape Technique" is unique, its use is also very expensive!"
"Not to mention other things, the more than 4,000 points of 'Whip Holder' merit I accumulated by working hard to perform the trial mission, this time I spent 3,000 points just to exchange for the 'Five Red Pills'!"
"But this is mainly due to insufficient preparations in the early stage. It just so happened that the materials for "Earth Fulan" have also been collected. After I can stably refine the top quality "Earth Fulan", I still have to prepare the "Blood Shadow Escape Technique"
"The performance of all aspects must be fully tested!"
"Well, with the help of the system's 'analysis' enhancement, if I can cast the "Blood Shadow Escape Technique" stably, and cooperate with the "Blood Jade Technique"'s own secret technique of "substitute technique" that can get rid of the energy lock, then I will even face chaos.
I am afraid that I have some ability to protect myself from being chased by Yuanjing strongmen!"
While his mind was spinning, Gao Yuan reached out and took out the jade slip that recorded the prescription of "Difu Dan", and then he penetrated his mind to comprehend it carefully.
…
at dusk.
The alchemy workshop in the underground stronghold.
Gao Yuan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed on a special stone round platform. Not far in front of him, the spiritual flames in the 'Sapphire Five-square Furnace' were rolling, constantly baking the tripod above the furnace.
Inside the cauldron, a large number of medicinal materials have been heated and calcined, and have already turned into a mushy liquid that is constantly churning.
Under the squeezing and stirring of Gao Yuan's tentacles using the power of his true energy wrapped in his spiritual thoughts, bursts of fragrant medicinal fragrance were released from time to time, and continued to escape along the small openings on the edge of the tripod, permeating the entire work.
Within the square.
·
After a while, Gao Yuan, who had been sitting still, suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the observation port on the outside of the tripod, which was shaped like a mooncake, and quickly typed out a series of spells.
Following his movements, the flames in the alchemy furnace instantly became blazing, and as it roasted, the liquid medicine in the tripod also made a "chichi" sound.
After waiting for a moment, he casually pointed out, and the talisman array in the 'Sapphire Five Directions Furnace' was instantly extinguished, and the rolling and burning spiritual flames in the furnace also quickly disappeared.
After a slight pause, he pointed out again.
Just listen to the sound of ‘bang~dang’!
The huge furnace cover was lifted open, and a large amount of white mist, mixed with wisps of black smoke, steamed up.
Amid the faint burnt smell, a dozen dark red pills the size of longan caught his eye.
He did not rush to see the elixir, but opened the system panel and took a look. Sure enough, the label "Difu Dan" had appeared in the skill column.
Without thinking, Gao Yuan raised his proficiency in "Difu Dan" to the master level, and casually glanced inside the tripod.
You don't need to think about it to know that when he is not very skilled in all the processes, even if he has mastered two kinds of 'Elixir Recipes', the 'Difu Pill' he refined for the first time will not be as good as the quantity or quality of the pill.
, are somewhat unsightly.
With a thought in his mind, he put the twelve low-grade Difu Pills in the tripod into the medicine bottle beside him.
He quickly cleaned up the residue in the tripod, then sat cross-legged back on the stone platform beside him, and started a new round of refining again.
…
Early in the morning on the third day.
Gao Yuan set out again. After days of continuous recuperation, the sequelae caused by his previous use of the "Blood Shadow Escape Technique" have now been completely recovered.
After more than half a day of refining, the materials for the ‘Earth Refining Pill’ he had collected through the Exile Alliance had been consumed by him.
Finally, it turned into twenty-three bottles of top-quality ‘Difudan’, which were stored in his storage bag.
"With so many top-quality 'Earth-Fudan' bases, and the proficiency of 'Blood Shadow Escape' has been raised to the master level, today's test probably won't have the same serious consequences as the previous one!"
Although he thought so, before the formal test, he still set out to carefully inspect the area within a thousand miles of the test site.
He hopes that during his experiment, no unexpected situation will occur, thus endangering his own safety.
More than two hours later, at the top of a small mountain peak more than 200 meters high, Gao Yuan stood expressionless in the middle of a dense bush.
The reason why he chose this place was to verify the first question in his mind:
After using the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique', in what state did he move? Is it a simple extreme speed state, or a teleportation similar to a space jump?
And with his current physical strength, even if the momentum is greatly increased due to hypersonic movement, the dense shrubs around him will not cause too serious damage to his body.
Despite this, he was cautious and cast the Golden Light Spell first to put a layer of golden armor on his body.
After a while, with everything ready, he stood there and took a deep breath.
Then the ten fingers of both hands moved quickly, and a series of weird handprints that were slightly different from the last time were produced one after another.
At the same time, accompanied by a sharp pain that penetrated the bone marrow, the blood all over his body surged, and an astonishing wave of energy surged out with his body as the center.
The skin all over his body was instantly as red as blood, and countless blood-colored energy spurted out, turning into a layer of blood mist with flashes of spiritual light, covering his entire body.
During this process, his consciousness quickly became chaotic, and only the last glimmer of clarity remained in the haze.
"I don't know which direction to go this time. It's best to go north. The terrain here is flatter!"
As his mind turned, he suddenly felt the space nearby distort.
Before he could react, his figure swayed quickly and disappeared in an instant.
…
Five days flew by.
In the evening, Gao Yuan returned to the underground stronghold with a depressed look.
After entering the door, he didn't bother to wash up, but simply washed his hands, then sat on the stone chair in the restaurant, and devoured the mutton bone soup that he had simmered over low heat when he left in the morning.
After eating five or six mutton chops the size of pork knuckles with soup and water, the suffocating emptiness in his heart dissipated a lot.
After drinking and eating, he came to the lounge with a satisfied look on his face.
Lying back on the leisure chair, he sighed comfortably, and then recalled and sorted out the experiments of the past few days in his mind.
The medicinal effect of 'Difu Dan' is stronger than the 'Five Red Dan' of the same grade, not to mention the top grade 'Di Fu Dan' he refined, which is better than the top grade 'Five Red Dan' he exchanged in the Whip Holder's Treasure House.
Dan' is several times stronger!
This allows him to recover completely in less than a day every time he uses the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique'!
In view of this, in the past few days, with an adequate supply of 'Difudan' and a large amount of high-energy food, he has performed the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' 8 times in total, and has basically eliminated this
The characteristics of various aspects of the secret art have been summed up in a tentative manner.
To sum up, there are three points:
First of all, the operating mechanism of the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' is similar to space jump, which is a point-to-point space teleportation.
Secondly, after using the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique', although there is no way to accurately locate the impact point, at the moment of transmission, you can select a general direction through your mind. The specific error will increase with the extension of the transmission distance.
constantly improving.
Third, although the cost of performing this secret technique is not fixed, it is subject to rules. For the master-level proficiency of the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique', every time it is performed, it will consume a fixed amount of 70% of his current total energy and blood.
about.
The timing and blood consumption of the secret technique directly determines his final teleportation distance.
Taking Gao Yuan himself as an example, if he uses the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' when he is in full condition, he can teleport to a place almost four hundred miles away in one go.
And if it is released continuously and the energy and blood are greatly damaged, even if the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' is used, it can only teleport more than a hundred or even dozens of miles at a time.
In order to verify this conclusion, he performed the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' three times in a row this afternoon, and this was also the main reason why his vitality was severely damaged after he came back today.
When his energy and blood could not be recovered quickly, the distances of his three teleportations were 410 miles, 150 miles, and 50 miles respectively.
Excluding the effects of elixirs such as ‘Difudan’ on the recovery of Qi and blood, the test results are basically consistent with his third conclusion.
In addition, the 'qi and blood' mentioned here is just a name he randomly chose, and does not simply refer to 'blood element'.
This also contained an unknown energy that he had never realized before, which was born together with the "blood element" but existed independently.
Generally speaking, this energy will be generated slowly as the 'blood element' is restored, and its existence is difficult to detect under normal circumstances.
Only when using the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique', a secret technique that consumes a lot of 'Qi and Blood' in a short period of time, and through the temporary out-of-sync phenomenon between the two due to their different recovery speeds, can we see a clue.
.
"By continuously performing the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique', I can continuously jump six hundred miles away in a very short period of time!"
"At such a long distance, unless there is some kind of secret technique or secret treasure that exceeds my knowledge, even an expert in the Hunyuan realm will not be able to track me easily, right?"
"Of course, due to existing conditions, the interference of barriers such as formations or barriers on the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' cannot be tested for the time being."
"So, in the future, it is better to keep a low profile in places with formation protection such as Qingliang City or the Gray Desert Forward Camp."
"Otherwise, if the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' really can't break through the blockade of these city defense formations, then I will be cool even though I should be cold!"
While thinking, Gao Yuan took out a few 'Body Refining Pills' and 'Earth Replenishing Pills', and after swallowing them in one gulp, he began to activate the Blood Jade Skill on his own.
With the help of medicine, the deficiency of Qi and blood caused by the previous continuous activation of the 'Blood Shadow Escape Technique' was continuously made up.
…
Two days later, March 15th.
The slightly delayed Spring Auction of the Exile Alliance has finally officially started amidst Gao Yuan's expectations.
Early in the morning, as soon as Chen hour passed, he put on the exile mask and entered the exclusive secret room.
Before entering the black light door, he opened his personal information panel and took a look:
[Permission]: Xuan level
[Alliance Contribution Points]: 150
[Storage of spiritual stones]: 958,694 intermediate spiritual stones
[Transaction Information]: Expandable
[Task information]: Expandable
In recent days, he has purchased a lot of materials one after another. Although he sold some things later, the number of spiritual stones he has stored in the alliance has still dropped slightly, and it is already less than 960,000!
"But my goal this time is just to acquire the materials for refining the 'Baohe Pill'."
"Based on the transaction prices of the 'Spiritual Materials' category in the previous auctions, this amount of spiritual stone should be more than enough whether it is used to purchase 'Earth Immortal Zhizhi' or 'Red Flame Fruit'!"
As his mind turned, he stepped straight into the black light door in the corner of the secret room.
…
"Lot No. 29 in this auction is a piece of top-grade Songyang Stone, weighing fifteen kilograms and three taels. This is a rare wood-attribute affinity stone. It is an excellent choice for refining wood-attribute magic weapons..."
A short distance away, Gao Yuan sat on a seat in the corner of the venue and looked quietly at the small platform opposite.
I saw an auctioneer wearing a mask and a cloak standing on the platform, carefully introducing the situation of the current auction called "Songyang Stone".
Above its head, the image of a green ore has appeared.
"The starting price is 10,000 intermediate spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 stones! Start bidding now!"
After saying this in a calm tone, the auctioneer picked up the auction hammer on the table in front of him and struck it with a "dong".
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Eighteen thousand!"
…
The competition in this year's auction is still very fierce. Even though more than twenty rounds of auctions have passed, the atmosphere at the venue is still warm, and there are also many people participating in the bidding for this so-called "Songyang Stone".
The bids came one after another, and the latter's bidding price was also rising steadily, and soon exceeded the 40,000 mark. At this time, there were still three parties bidding fiercely.
After several rounds of fierce bidding, this piece of 'Songyang Stone' was finally bought by a person on the platform for a price of 65,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.
…
"Lot No. 32 in this auction is a 300-year-old 'Dixian Zhi'. This is an extremely rare medicinal material with all attributes. It is an excellent choice for refining several rare elixirs!
"
The auctioneer's calm words on the small platform immediately shocked Gao Yuan in the audience, and he quickly switched back from watching the show.
"The starting price is 20,000 intermediate spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 stones! Start bidding now!"
"Thirty thousand!"
"forty thousand!"
…
This round of bidding was even more intense than before. Gao Yuan hadn't even joined the bidding yet, but the price of this '300-year-old medicinal plant Xianzhi' had already approached the 100,000 mark!
At this time, there are still many people participating in the auction, and the bidding price is also increasing one after another, gradually approaching 200,000!
At this point, the number of people participating in the auction has been greatly reduced, and there are only four people left including Gao Yuan.
The range of each bid increase has also been greatly reduced from the previous tens of thousands each time, and each bid increase is no longer consistent, with some pauses from time to time. It is not until the auction begins to confirm again that someone hesitates to increase the price.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"
After the person in front added another two thousand, bringing the bidding price to two hundred and twenty thousand, Gao Yuan directly raised the price by ten thousand and said.
As his voice fell, the venue suddenly became quiet. After the auctioneer confirmed again and again, he finally dropped the hammer and announced the deal.
Gao Yuan was slightly relieved at this. Although 230,000 intermediate spirit stones were expensive, they were not worth mentioning compared to the opportunity to break into the Hunyuan realm.
"In addition to the unripe 'Canglong Fruit', there is only one 'Red Flame Fruit' left to refine the 'Baohe Pill'!"
When he thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the small platform opposite.
"After deducting the cost of bidding for the 'Earth Immortal Zhi', I still have about 700,000 intermediate spirit stones left in my account. It would be great if the 'Red Flame Fruit' appears later!"
Seeing that when the auctioneer introduced the next lot, he still didn't indicate that it was the grand finale, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think with some hope.
However, the results were always disappointing. Until the final item of this round of auction appeared, he could not see the 'Red Flame Fruit'.
·
In subsequent rounds of auctions, Gao Yuan still showed up on time to participate, but he still had a more knowledgeable attitude.
As for the subsequent auction items, either the transaction price was far beyond his affordability, or they were items that were not very suitable for him.
Therefore, until the final auction of the final item came down, he did not bid again.
…
Underground stronghold.
Close to the weapon refining workshop, Gao Yuan opened up a square secret room with an area of more than 100 square meters after a lot of busy work.
Unlike other rooms, after the secret room was opened, the roof was raised several times by him.
So much so that after the room was completed, the height of the entire secret room had exceeded ten meters!
He saw a huge moonstone the size of a watermelon placed in each of the four corners at the top of the secret room.
After activation, each moonstone projects a brilliant white light, illuminating the empty secret room with bright lights.
At this time, Gao Yuan was wearing regular clothes and suspended in mid-air in the center of the secret room.
According to the description of the drawings recorded in "Beast God Totem Technique", he continued to pull out huge animal bones from the storage bag and quickly built it.
It can be seen that these animal bones are of different sizes, shapes, and even origins.
Among them, the long ones can be more than ten feet long, and the short ones are even less than one foot. They are all dismantled from various monsters he has hunted during this period. As for the types, they include birds and animals.
Under his construction, a giant skeletal monster statue with a height of more than ten meters, composed of the bones of dozens of monsters, gradually took shape.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after the monster statue took shape, Gao Yuan suddenly felt an indescribable majestic aura from the latter.
Through this breath, he even faintly felt a mysterious sense of desolation.
"It's so evil. It's obviously just a pile of dead objects made of the bones of various monsters. During this period, there was no talisman formation, no mantra recited, and no energy source was even arranged. Why is it so inexplicable?
Exudes such a terrifying aura?”
"According to the description in "Beast God Totem Technique", this statue, which is made up of the bones of various monster beasts, is called the 'Beast God Statue' and is one of the rumored images of the Beast God!"
"You don't rely on any energy or spells, just by creating an appearance, you can show such a strange phenomenon..."
"Could it be that in this world, there really are so-called gods?"
Looking at the behemoth not far away, Gao Yuan was shocked and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
At the same time, while looking forward to the secret method of totem described in the jade slip, he also felt a faint sense of fear.
When he originally planned to practice the "Beast God Totem Technique", he just took it for granted as a special spell.
As for the sacrificial process involved, after careful understanding, he only regarded it as a ritual to trigger certain rules, just like the release spell of his chanting and sealing.
In addition, this secret art does not involve living people and blood sacrifices like Gu art, and it only needs to use the remains of some monsters to survive.
Therefore, before today, he had never taken this so-called 'Beast God Idol' to heart.
But the scene in front of him awakened him. What he saw before him was an extraordinary world!
In this world context, does the ‘Beast God’ mentioned in this secret art really only exist in legends?
What if there really are gods in this world...
Gao Yuan suddenly shuddered at the thought.
It would be fine if it was a narrowly defined deity who was the incarnation of certain rules, but what if it was a ‘god-man’ with human nature and desires?
Affected by his many years of online writing experience in his previous life, he really didn't have much of a good impression of various beings called 'gods' who were actually 'gods'.
In the ordinary world, it's okay to get high, but in the extraordinary world, once you get involved with an existence of this level, you may not be able to control even life and death, right?
"I seek to improve my strength simply because I want to protect myself. Plus, with the addition of the system, my path to cultivation is smooth. I really don't need to take risks on this matter."
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan quickly made a decision.
He raised his head and glanced at the endlessly weird 'Beast God Statue' in front of him, then activated the Wind Curse and floated up.
In a hurry, this huge statue was quickly dismantled.
At the same time, the desolate atmosphere that was everywhere quietly disappeared.
Gao Yuan saw this and his heart suddenly became much more relaxed.
