Chapter 514: Wrapping Oneself in a Cocoon
Fifteen days!
In just half a month, Xiao Mian completed the preliminary refining of the Scorpion King Green Crystal. For Xiao Mian, it was not without precedent to refine a poison into the body in fifteen days, but none of them was as strong and poisonous as the Scorpion King Green Crystal, which was ranked among the top ten strange poisons.
During this half month, Gui Hai was free, but Xiao Mian was overwhelmed.
Finally, in the evening of this day, Xiao Mian came out safely.
Before he opened his eyes, Xiao Mian sneakily took out a Wulouzi and swallowed it into his stomach - although he successfully refined the Scorpion King Green Crystal in fifteen days, it also caused great damage to his body. Fortunately, Xiao Mian dared to take the risk because of the Wulouzi.
From beginning to end, Guitou had a heartbroken expression: in his opinion, it was not worthwhile to exchange a Wulouzi for a three-eyed flower feather grass head miasma mother. However, Xiao Mian had an astonishing number of Wulouzi on hand, so Guitou turned a blind eye.
The Wulouzi melted in his mouth, and Xiao Mian felt relaxed all over. His long-tense mind also relaxed a lot. While exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Mian lightly spit out a date pit, put it away, and then he opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the sky was dim, and the Great Sunlight Realm was gradually dissipating.
In the first few days, Xiao Mian was still worried that the monsters in the Dragon and Tiger Pond would attack him after the Great Sunlight Realm dissipated. When he thought that Master Jingyin was in charge of the station, he felt relieved. Then he saw that there was nothing attacking at all, and Xiao Mian became suspicious: Could it be that all the monsters in the Dragon and Tiger Pond avoided it as Gui Hai said?
If so, would the thousand-year-old grass-headed miasma mother, who had already given birth to a trace of spirituality, disappear with the retreat of the monster army?
If the grass-headed miasma mother did not come, then all his hard work would be in vain!
On second thought, it was not only Xiao Mian who wasted his efforts, but also the three monks of Benchu, nearly 300 Jindan cultivators and ten Yuanying Buddhist cultivators. Thinking of this, Xiao Mian's mood became cheerful inexplicably. After all, he had completed the practice of "The Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" in the past half month, while Benchu and others were only concerned with spreading sandalwood!
Just as Xiao Mian was daydreaming, Master Jingyin opened her eyes.
"Mr. Xiao's realm has not improved, but it seems that his combat power has improved a lot!"
"Master Jingyin is too kind!"
Although Xiao Mian said so, he was secretly shocked. This Yuanying ancestor is really not easy to fool. He has obviously closed his consciousness and Yuanying, but his spiritual perception is still so sharp.
Fortunately, Master Jingyin asked this question only out of curiosity. Seeing that Xiao Mian did not want to say more, she closed her eyes and meditated again.
Judging from the plan she had made with Benchu and others in advance, even if there were about 300 Jindan monks to help spread the sandalwood, it would take about 20 days to complete their plan. Before that, Nun Jingyin had nothing else to do.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief: He worked hard to melt the Scorpion King Green Crystal into his body within half a month, wasn't it just for these few days?
If Benchu and others' plan went smoothly, then the Grass Head Miasma Mother should have been forced to the vicinity of the station by them, which would have helped Xiao Mian a lot - after all, although he had the Scorpion King Green Crystal on him, if the Grass Head Miasma Mother was too far away from the station, let alone the Scorpion King Green Crystal, even if he took out the poisonous dragon gall, it would probably be useless.
After waiting for a while, at the signal of Guitou, after learning that Nun Jingyin had completely entered a state of meditation, Xiao Mian stretched his muscles and bones and quietly came to the edge of the station.
The night was thick and cold like water.
Facing the dark night sky, Xiao Mian stretched out his right hand. Suddenly, his mind moved, and the poisonous relic in the Qihai acupoint of the middle dantian began to spin wildly. Driven by the poisonous relic, a wisp of blue mist separated from the acupoints, meridians, flesh, and bones around Xiao Mian's body, and kept gathering towards his right hand...
Gradually, a little blue starlight appeared in the palm of Xiao Mian's right hand.
As time went by, the blue starlight became larger and larger, and finally condensed into a blue crystal the size of a lotus seed, which looked like the Scorpion King Blue Crystal.
It's just that the Scorpion King Blue Crystal at this time is a full circle smaller than before it was refined, but in the refining process, Xiao Mian purified the toxicity of the Scorpion King Blue Crystal for the second time.
After condensing the Scorpion King Blue Crystal, Xiao Mian did not give up, and continued to practice. Gradually, a phantom of a Scorpion King with a ferocious armor appeared on the outside of the Scorpion King Blue Crystal.
Xiao Mian put on a complete show. Not only did he condense the Scorpion King Blue Crystal, he also used the Scorpion King Armor that he had refined into his body before to condense the form of the Scorpion King. From the outside, it was flawless.
Just because Xiao Mian not only had to deceive the Grass-headed Miasma Mother, but also had to deceive Master Jingyin!
Although Xiao Mian had already made up his mind to take advantage of the many Buddhist monks, it would be best if he could do it without anyone noticing.
After manifesting the miniature Scorpion King, Xiao Mian used the Divine Mind Sword to live in it and slowly sank it into the pool outside the settlement.
This was like fishing. The Scorpion King Blue Crystal was the hook, the Scorpion King's phantom was the bait, the Divine Mind Sword was the fishing line, and Xiao Mian was the fisherman.
As for whether the big fish would be willing to take the bait, it depended on each other's luck.
After that, Xiao Mian sat cross-legged on the shore of the settlement and waited patiently.
Unexpectedly, this wait lasted for three days and three nights.
Through secret contact with Gui Hai, Xiao Mian learned that they were not far from the base. It was obvious that the plan of Benchu and others was going smoothly. It was likely that before long, not only the three Benchu monks, but also the nine Nascent Soul Buddhist cultivators would come to the base in person.
By then, even if Xiao Mian had achieved the Nascent Soul stage, he would be powerless.
Just as Xiao Mian put away the Tongxin Pendant and was in a daze, he suddenly felt the soul body that he was living in the shadow of the Scorpion King tremble slightly.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Mian controlled the soul body and floated up slightly.
Just as the shadow of the Scorpion King was about to float out of the water, a spiritual grass with spiritual light condensed above the Scorpion King's shell appeared - it was the three-eyed flower feather!
After all the previous calculations, Xiao Mian was not surprised by the appearance of the Grass-headed Miasma Mother. What really surprised Xiao Mian was that the Grass-headed Miasma Mother did not immediately devour the shadow of the Scorpion King after it appeared, but just condensed above the Scorpion King.
In a trance, Xiao Mian even felt that the three-eyed flower feather seemed to be staring at him.
If the three-eyed flower feather was a demon beast, Xiao Mian would feel better. After all, although there are not many demon beasts with spirituality like Qingjing, they are not unique. But now the three-eyed flower feather is just a ball of miasma. Even if it has bred a trace of spirituality, Xiao Mian feels a little creepy when being stared at by a ball of miasma.
It's just that the three-eyed flower feather is motionless, but Xiao Mian can't help but move.
The reason why Xiao Mian is so deliberate is just to lure the grass-headed miasma mother to appear. Now that the grass-headed miasma mother has appeared, when will he take action?
With a thought, Xiao Mian is about to take action.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a faint fragrance comes to his nose.
Subconsciously, Xiao Mian quickly holds his breath and closes his pores, fearing that this faint fragrance is the poisonous substance emitted by the grass-headed miasma mother. However, despite Xiao Mian's precautions, he still fell into the trap of the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother. When the fragrance passed by, Xiao Mian did not feel any discomfort, but was shocked to find that his body and even his mind were all imprisoned.
In other words, at that moment, Xiao Mian was actually cast into a body-fixing spell!
In this way, all the means Xiao Mian had prepared before were wasted, and even he himself became the fat meat on the chopping board of the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother.
While trying his best to break the strange imprisonment force, Xiao Mian paid close attention to the movements of the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother. Now, he hoped that the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother would quickly devour the phantom of the Scorpion King and leave with satisfaction.
However, the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother was really a spirit. She actually ignored the phantom of the Scorpion King and turned into a ball of light, covering Xiao Mian's head.
Judging from the posture, it was clear that she wanted to swallow Xiao Mian into her miasma.
"Evil beast! How dare you!"
With a roar, Nun Jingyin sent a Buddhist magic to the Grass-headed Miasma Mother. It turned out that when Xiao Mian was fixed by the Grass-headed Miasma Mother, Nun Jingyin had regained consciousness. Seeing that Xiao Mian was about to be swallowed by the Grass-headed Miasma Mother, Nun Jingyin attacked brazenly.
However, Xiao Mian had a sinister intention before and was at the edge of the station, while Nun Jingyin was meditating in the center of the station. Although her attack was faster than lightning, it took time. When Nun Jingyin's Buddhist magic attacked the shore, the Grass-headed Miasma Mother had already wrapped up the immobile Xiao Mian and sank into the water of the Dragon and Tiger Pond.
The magic passed through, but returned without success.
Nun Jingyin looked gloomy, and just when she wanted to chase the Grass-headed Miasma Mother, her face suddenly changed drastically, and she moved away from where she was sitting cross-legged.
The next moment, a jet-black beam of light rose from where Nun Jingyin was sitting cross-legged, reaching straight into the sky...
