Chapter 450: Inside and Outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
Half a cup of tea was obviously enough for an eighth-level foundation-building cultivator who was determined to escape to get out of the battle. No matter how unwilling the snake dragon was, it could only choose to give up and return to the lake to heal its wounds and practice in seclusion.
Before retreating again, the snake dragon, with its obviously superior strength, once again retaliated against the monsters and cultivators within a radius of thousands of miles.
All the second-level middle-high-quality monsters and foundation-building cultivators who might have a negative impact on its practice fled in embarrassment under its crazy attack.
Some relatively weak tribes suffered a catastrophe, and only with the joint efforts of several foundation-building cultivators in the middle and late stages did they completely suppress it.
Sun Mingsheng was naturally not clear about the changes here, and he did not seem to be interested at all. After completely getting out of the battle and ensuring that he would not be pursued again, he temporarily chose a cave to rest.
"The danger in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is greater than expected. Who could have expected that such a powerful snake in the realm of false elixir would exist in a remote lake?"
To this day, he still looks frightened when recalling the previous battle. After barely calming down the throbbing in his heart, he circulated the mana in his dantian to run the Great Circulation. There was still alien mana in the penetration wound caused by the semi-finished demon treasure.
For a cultivator, the purity of the mana in the dantian is a necessary factor. Once the alien mana is mixed into it, it can be said to be a complete destruction of the future path.
Especially at the critical moment of facing the promotion of the great cultivation realm, these alien mana not only cannot provide any assistance, but also make trouble at the critical moment.
Sun Mingsheng is currently at the eighth level of foundation building. The opportunity to condense the golden elixir is just around the corner. Naturally, he does not want to repeat the same mistake.
Therefore, he did not care about other injuries and the consumption of mana in the dantian, and tried to expel the alien mana at the first time.
This is not an easy task. Sun Mingsheng guided his spiritual consciousness to pull the magic power away from Dantian and meridians.
The magic power flows back along the wound, and the traces of the alien magic power are searched from the flesh and blood of the wound bit by bit, and a basic identification is made.
In order to be on the safe side, some wounds that have been initially recovered must be torn again. Whenever there is a discovery, it is immediately wrapped with more than ten times the magic power, and finally pulled back to the meridians to reverse the Taoism and wrap it with blood essence, and then spit out of the body.
Every time one of the blood arrows containing alien magic power falls on the stone wall of the temporary cave, it will immediately form fist-sized pits, which is quite sharp.
As for the wounds caused by the semi-finished demon treasure, as the alien magic power continues to weaken, the factors that originally inhibited the recovery of the wounds have completely disappeared, and with the help of healing pills, they are quickly healed.
In addition to healing his wounds, Sun Mingsheng's temporary retreat this time was also about refining the souls of the three second-grade superior dragon snakes in his hands to make up for his own shortcomings.
In order to advance to the eighth level of foundation building, he did not hesitate to rely on the power of the elixir, but after barely succeeding in the advancement, he lacked enough demon beast souls as support, which led to the illusion that his current cultivation was always a castle in the air.
And with the improvement of cultivation and the continuous strengthening of the strength of the opponents he faced, the demon beast souls have become a good means to use against the enemy at critical moments without any side effects.
Therefore, since all conditions have matured, Sun Mingsheng will naturally not waste this opportunity to effectively improve his own foundation and combat effectiveness.
Sun Mingsheng killed six snakes in the battle, and only three of them could reach the second-grade superior. Now he has a requirement for demon beast souls, and he would only consider refining them if they reach the second-grade superior.
In the busy healing and cultivation, three months passed in a flash.
With the successful refining of the soul of the last snake dragon monster, it turned into a silver-white light and entered the dantian to swim freely in the increasingly rich sea of mana. The purpose of this retreat has been preliminarily completed.
"Although I encountered a strong enemy when I went to hunt the snake dragon this time, the harvest was also good. This bottle of snake dragon's life essence blood is enough to assist in the condensation of the golden elixir."
During the interval of retreat, Sun Mingsheng sorted out the various spiritual objects of different values in the storage bag into categories, whether for personal use or for trading.
Two days later, Sun Mingsheng left this temporary retreat place and continued to explore deeper into the Shiwan Mountains according to the records on the map.
According to the description on the detailed map obtained from the Lingtao Mountain family branch, the Shiwan Mountains are vast and the environment is cruel, comparable to the area of three Song countries or even better.
The entire Shiwan Mountains is also divided into two different areas, the inner and outer areas. Currently, the branches of the Lingtao Mountain family and the places where the various indigenous tribes live are basically on the periphery of the Shiwan Mountains.
Once you enter the real core of the Shiwan Mountains, you will be invaded by various miasma, monsters, and poisons, which is not suitable for the inheritance of cultivators to live in.
This is a paradise for genuine monsters, and there are even some plants that are extremely rare in the outside world. For example, monsters grown from flowers and trees that have awakened their spiritual intelligence. According to legend, there were fourth-level spirit beasts comparable to Yuanying period cultivators in the deepest part of the Shiwan Mountains.
Third-level monsters whose combat power is not inferior to that of Jindan period cultivators also often appear. For Sun Mingsheng at present, it is still a relatively dangerous place.
However, as the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. In his current situation, if he wants to have a chance to condense a golden elixir within his limited lifespan, the deep part of the Shiwan Mountains is also one of the few options left.
After the three second-level superior snake dragon souls were refined, Sun Mingsheng felt the souls wandering freely in his dantian, and his heart was even more confident.
"The jungle outside is not too dense. Once you enter, you will see giant trees over a hundred years old. The thick miasma is so dense that you can't hide it. The number of poisonous insects and beasts living in it has also increased dramatically. This is most likely the dividing line between the inside and outside of the Shiwan Mountains."
On this day, Sun Mingsheng finally stopped his steps. This naturally formed dividing line is quite magical and makes people's eyes light up.
Sun Mingsheng is still on the periphery. Only a hundred feet away, you can see the thick miasma. Various thick trees are endless, and various beast roars that seem to be there and not there are also one after another. Just this situation in front of him has given him a preliminary understanding of the dangers in the depths of the Shiwan Mountains.
"Where is this Taoist friend from? Are you going to enter the depths of the Shiwan Mountains to look for opportunities?"
Without any signs, a cultivator with all kinds of colors painted all over his body suddenly jumped down from a giant tree.
"May I ask what your name is, Taoist friend? Why are you here?"
