Cheng Daqi changed from a fat white man to a fat red man. He faced the invisible but substantial pressure and rushed towards the stairs leading to the ninth floor like a cannonball.
There are more than a dozen steps and a distance of several hundred meters. If placed elsewhere, this would not be considered a distance at all. Not to mention ascetics, even ordinary mortals can't run a few hundred meters long. As for the ascetics, they can reach hundreds or thousands of meters away in the blink of an eye with just one step.
But here, under the extremely huge pressure, even though Cheng Daqi used all his strength to suck milk, the initial speed was really like a cannon popping out of the chamber. However, with every step he passed, his speed dropped significantly, as if he was hitting invisible obstacles one after another.
Therefore, after passing several steps, the distance may not exceed a hundred meters, and the speed of Cheng Daqi becomes very slow, and it has obvious momentum of falling.
"Ha!" Cheng Daqi suddenly shouted, his body suddenly swelled several times, as if his clothes were about to burst, and he pushed forward for another ten meters.
However, even so, Cheng Daqi failed to rush to the ninth floor. Instead, he drained all his strength and fell down, unable to struggle any longer.
This is a little different than expected! Brother, you have great luck!
Ye Zan was a little dumbfounded.
In fact, because Ye Zan already had a certain understanding of the back from the five people from the mysterious force, he knew clearly that he couldn't rush through there.
It's just that ordinary people will definitely not be able to rush through it, but is Cheng Daqi an ordinary person? He is a son of destiny who is protected by God and blessed with great luck!
Therefore, when Cheng Daqi said he wanted to rush over, Ye Zan just gave him a casual advice and then wished him good luck. He also wanted to see to what extent this great luck could affect him, and whether he would be powerful enough to ignore all rules.
However, the result was embarrassing. Cheng Daqi still didn't rush over.
At this time, Cheng Daqi had already squeezed out all his strength. If he fell from such a high place, he would probably turn into a puddle of meat paste when he fell below. Although a cultivator may have a strong body, without the protection of magic power, no matter how strong he is, he is still a mortal body. Even if he is stabbed with a knife, he will be broken and bleed, let alone fall from such a height.
So the question is, should we save it
This idea swayed left and right in Ye Zan's mind for 0.03 seconds, and finally he raised his hand to sacrifice Ruyi Baibian. The wishful change turned into a long rope in the air and shot towards Cheng Daqi like lightning, instantly entangling Cheng Daqi and pulling him up.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Ye Ye!" After Cheng Daqi was pulled up, he lay on the platform unable to get up, so he could only slightly raise his head and say thank you to Ye Zan.
You know, even on this ladder platform, the pressure is very terrifying. Cheng Daqi originally wanted to take a risk because he couldn't hold on at this level anymore. But now that his mana has been exhausted and he is back here, it is even harder to resist the pressure.
Ye Zan also saw this, so he asked: "Fellow Taoist Cheng, do you need me to send you down?"
"No, no need." Cheng Daqi said as he struggled to take out a bunch of wild fruit-like things from the Qiankun Ring, and then stuffed it into his mouth desperately.
Seeing those wild fruits, Ye Zan couldn't help but raise his brows slightly, with a look of surprise on his face. Those wild fruits look like white and tender garlic cloves, each the size of a longan, exuding a faint fragrance. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to recognize the name of this wild fruit, but Ye Zan retrieved the information about this wild fruit instantly from his huge database.
This kind of wild fruit is called Tianling Dixin. It is not a legendary fairy fruit or magic medicine, but it is basically extinct in today's Shenhua Domain. The Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Heart have many functions. One is to enhance the soul, the other is to assist in enlightenment, the third is to enhance cultivation, the fourth is to temper the physical body, and many other things.
It sounds like this is a magical medicine, but in fact it is not. Although Tianling Earth Heart has many functions, and each of them seems to be extremely rare, the effect of each function is not very obvious.
It's like, in the early days of the technology world, things were often circulated on the Internet. For example, "If you eat this kind of thing, cancer is not far away from you", "Eating this kind of thing often is equivalent to taking poison", "Eating these things together will kill you" and so on.
But, does it make sense? It really makes sense. The ingredients of many things are indeed harmful in one way or another, but they need to be in sufficient doses. Eating something can cause cancer, but only if you eat it every day, and you must die every time you eat it. Even so, the dose may not be enough. If you really want to eat it to cause cancer, you can't do it even if you eat yourself to death.
Therefore, anyone who talks about toxicity regardless of dose is just a hooligan.
And here, in the center of the Heavenly Spirit and Earth, there is also a problem, that is, although there are many functions, the effect of each function is very weak.
However, just because it has many functions, Tianling Earth Center also has an important use, that is, it can be used in many kinds of elixirs, and it can be regarded as a kind of snake oil.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in the heart of this heavenly spirit is also extremely pure. Although it is a waste of resources to replenish mana, it can be regarded as a very effective use.
Cheng Daqi swallowed more than a dozen fruits in one go, juice flowing from the corners of his mouth. Then he burped and immediately turned over and sat up.
Cheng Daqi wiped the juice and pulp from the corner of his mouth, and said to Ye Zan with an embarrassed face: "I made fellow Taoist Ye laugh. I would like to thank you for your help, otherwise I would have fallen down from here. I'm afraid this A hundred kilograms can only be used as stuffing.”
A hundred pounds
Ye Zan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. How could such a big thing weigh more than a hundred kilograms? Even if it's not exaggeratedly fat, one hundred kilograms is still more than enough.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist, it's just a small effort." Ye Zan secretly cursed and said with his hands in hand.
"Hey, I'm not being polite. Fellow Taoist is definitely my savior. If there is anyone else who accuses fellow Taoist in front of me in the future, I will definitely clear up your name. Fellow Taoist is definitely not the kind of person they say." Cheng Daqi said seriously.
"Then I'll thank you fellow Taoist in advance." Ye Zan said, somewhat dumbfounded. I thought that Cheng Daqi spoke so harshly just to show off to those people, but in the end it was just "justifying his name".
Ye Zan actually didn't care much about what others said. He was not a spiritual stone talisman, so how could he be liked by everyone.
"Hey, don't say thank you, that's what I should do." Cheng Daqi was still very serious and didn't hear Ye Zan's perfunctory intentions at all. Then he turned his head and looked up and sighed: "Hey, it seems that this way, We still have to go step by step.”
Ye Zan smiled and said: "As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Since this is a rare opportunity to hone oneself, why should fellow Taoists be in a hurry."
Hearing Ye Zan's words, Cheng Daqi immediately looked like he had been taught something. He nodded sincerely and said, "What fellow Taoist said is true. I am indeed too impatient."
"It's good that fellow Taoist understands." Ye Zan said, sitting cross-legged on the ground and preparing to continue practicing Qigong. Although he said that haste makes waste, it doesn't mean that time should be wasted casually. What's more, just now he was under such pressure and took action to save Cheng Daqi, which still consumed a lot of mana.
"By the way," Cheng Daqi suddenly remembered, put a touch on the Qiankun Ring, took out a large bag of wild fruits, and then said to Ye Zan: "Fellow Daoist Ye, these are some wild fruits I picked from outside. I don’t know what it is, but it’s pretty good for replenishing mana. Fellow Taoist, I must have consumed a lot of mana just now, so please don’t dislike it.”
"Fellow Taoist, don't you know what this is?" Ye Zan asked.
"Ah, I really don't know about this. I just thought it looked delicious, so I picked some to taste. I didn't expect that it could replenish my mana, so I picked some more." Cheng Daqi felt a little embarrassed. , and then asked curiously: "Could it be that fellow Taoist knows what this fruit is?"
"This thing is called Tianling Earth Heart. It is a good spiritual fruit. It is almost extinct in the Shenhua Realm." Ye Zan said without any concealment, and then told the functions of Tianling Earth Heart. Become a great tool.
"Oh, that's it. Fellow Daoist Ye is really knowledgeable." After listening to Ye Zan's introduction, Cheng Daqi showed a look of admiration on his face, and then suddenly patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I heard someone say , Fellow Daoist Ye seems to be a master of alchemy."
"This is not bad. When I went to the Alchemy Conference, I wanted to see it, but I didn't expect that I would become a master of Alchemy." Ye Zan nodded and said.
Hearing this, the look of admiration on Cheng Daqi's face became a little thicker. At the same time, he handed a pack of Tianling Earth Heart in his hand directly to Ye Zan and said: "Since Fellow Daoist Ye is a master of alchemy, then this pack Heavenly Spirit and Earth Heart, please accept it, fellow Taoist, and please don’t dislike it.”
"This, no, this Tianling Earth Heart is almost extinct in the Shenhua Realm. It is too precious. Please take it back, fellow Taoist." Ye Zan quickly declined.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't refuse! These fruits are in my hands, and they are just something to satisfy your appetite. As a master of alchemy, you must have these fruits in your hands to achieve their true value." As Cheng Daqi spoke, he pushed the bag of fruit towards Ye Zan.
Seeing that Cheng Daqi's words were quite sincere, Ye Zan stopped being pretentious and said, "Okay, then I'll take part of it and study it, but I don't need so much."
"Hey, if there's anything else here, fellow Taoist, just take it." Cheng Daqi said without being stingy at all.
"Then thank you very much!" Ye Zan also took the package of Tianling Earth Center and received his own Qiankun Ring.
However, immediately after, Ye Zan took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun Ring, handed it to Cheng Daqi and said: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, these are some spirit-accumulating pills that I have refined. The next dozen or so levels "Ladder, I'm afraid fellow Taoist also needs some elixirs to restore mana. Since I have received this Tianling Earth Heart, please take this elixir as well."
Yunling Pill is a very common pill used to restore mana. However, what Ye Zan took out was certainly not an ordinary spirit-acquiring pill. As a master of alchemy and with technology at his disposal, Ye Zan simply couldn't get hold of the best elixirs.
Cheng Daqi didn't know this, so he thought it was because Ye Zan felt sorry for him, so he took out the Spirit-accumulating Pill and gave it to him. Therefore, he didn't think much about the quality of Yunling Pill, and reached out to take the pill from Ye Zan.
Cheng Daqi had just eaten a lot of heavenly spirits and earth cores, so his mana was almost restored. He did not open the jade bottle to see the elixir in front of Ye Zan, but thanked him and received the Qiankun Ring.
After that, the two of them stopped talking and continued to meditate.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Zan felt that he had adapted to the pressure, and the mana in his body was running much more smoothly. So, he stood up and jumped to the next higher step without disturbing Cheng Daqi.
However, after reaching this point, it is already impossible to jump over several stairs in a row. As soon as Ye Zan stood on the staircase platform, he felt that the invisible pressure became much stronger, causing the movement of mana in his body to stagnate.
However, for Ye Zan, he actually prefers this situation. This means that he will get greater training and gain greater benefits in the next few dozen steps.
Others may not know how much benefit they have gained under this pressure until they return to normal. However, Ye Zan can know in advance how much benefit he has gained from this training through comparison and calculation.
Ye Zan can know how many times the efficiency of his skills can be improved after returning to the normal environment. We can also know how much power the magic weapon Ruyi Baibian can increase and to what extent it can grow after such a sacrifice.
And this is why Ye Zan is so motivated.
As before, Ye Zan was sitting cross-legged on the staircase platform, doing his exercises to promote the movement of his magic power, and at the same time, he was refining his magic weapon so that it could change as he wished.
Not long after, a person fell next to him, and it was Cheng Daqi who chased him from behind. However, Cheng Daqi is not like Ye Zan, who only rushes forward after calculating. Therefore, after landing on the platform, Cheng Daqi turned into a red fat man again, and tremblingly took out the Soul-accumulating Pill from the Qiankun Ring.
He uncorked the bottle and poured a few pills into a large container, ready to swallow them in one go. He didn't doubt anything. After all, Ye Zan had saved his life, and there was no need to play any tricks on the elixir.
However, Cheng Daqi thought that the Spirit-Absorbing Pill Ye Zan gave him was at most a top-grade pill, which was consistent with Ye Zan's identity. After all, even if Ye Zan is a master of alchemy, he only comes from a second-rate sect. Moreover, the Yuqing Sect had just been promoted from a third-rate sect to a second-rate sect.
However, Cheng Daqi poured out the elixir and raised his hand to stuff it into his mouth when he noticed the appearance of the elixir in his hand.
"This..." Cheng Daqi was immediately startled, and his hands froze and stopped moving. As a result, a few pills fell down.
Cheng Daqi rushed forward, stretched out his arm to stop the rolling pills, turned to look at Ye Zan next to him, and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, your spirit-accumulating pill is actually the best?"
Ye Zan also opened his eyes at this time, took a look at Cheng Daqi's appearance, and said a little funny: "Yes, it is not the best elixir, and I can't get it."
Although this Spirit-enriching Pill is a very common pill that restores mana, once something reaches the highest quality, it means a qualitative leap. The same is true for Yun Ling Dan. Even though its effect is only to restore mana, when it reaches the highest quality, in addition to restoring mana, it also has a considerable nourishing effect on the meridians and acupoints.
You must know that the meridians and acupoints are also part of the human body. If the magic power is used for a long time, fatigue and damage will occur. Just like human muscles, if you work at high intensity for a long time, muscle damage will occur.
Therefore, if it is simply to restore mana, the effect of the elixir will become worse and worse when encountering a situation that consumes a lot of mana. It's not because the medicine is weak, but because the meridians and acupoints are tired. It's difficult to restore the vitality of the meridians and acupoints even though the mana is replenished.
But this top-grade Spirit-enriching Pill doesn't have such a problem. While supplementing the recovery of mana, it can also help restore the vitality of the meridians and acupuncture points.
However, the best elixirs are very rare to come by. Even those alchemy masters have to rely on chance to make the best elixirs. Therefore, almost no matter what kind of elixir it is, even the most basic Qi Refining Pill, as long as it is labeled with the word "superior", its value will definitely skyrocket.
After hearing Ye Zan's words, Cheng Daqi didn't know how to respond. He couldn't say that he would return the elixir to him. He quickly lowered his head, sucked up a top-quality spirit-accumulating pill from the ground of the platform, and swallowed it into his stomach with a gurgle.
"Huh!" After Cheng Daqi swallowed the elixir, he just lay on the ground without moving, and let out a long breath, as if the elixir brought such great relief after entering his stomach.
However, this is not surprising, just like a hungry person who has eaten a full meal. The loss of mana is too serious, and the body will also have a similar feeling of emptiness. And this top-grade spirit-enriching pill, after being swallowed, immediately releases a large amount of spiritual energy, filling the feeling of emptiness. At the same time, the ingredients in the top-quality Yunling Pill that nourish the meridians and acupoints also begin to relieve the fatigue of the meridians and acupoints, just like giving a SPA to the meridians and acupoints.
Cheng Daqi still had some respect for himself, so he didn't groan, but just let out a sigh of relief.
After a while, Cheng Daqi finally got up from the ground. At the same time, he picked up several other pills that fell on the ground and carefully put them back into the jade bottle. (To be continued.)
