Chapter 552 True Dragon Blood Stone
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
At first, Xiao Mian was quite cautious, fearing that there were other things that could threaten him in this area of peach qi.
After Xiao Mian tried again and again, he found that the peach blossom face was just a decoration!
As for the nine peach dragons, they could scare away many ordinary cultivators, but in Xiao Mian's eyes, these nine big insects would sooner or later be food in the stomach of the grass-headed miasma mother; the grass-headed miasma mother would sooner or later fall into Xiao Mian's body. Xiao Mian looked at these nine dragons as if he was looking at a feast, and he would knock them from time to time just to make them more delicious.
If it weren't for the fact that his body had not yet fully recovered to the point where he could refine the grass-headed miasma mother, Xiao Mian would not mind swallowing the nine dragons in one breath.
After three months of stalemate, Xiao Mian finally felt that the time was almost right.
When Xiao Mian controlled the Grass-headed Miasma Mother to devour all nine dragons that had shrunk to the thickness of his arms, the surrounding peach air still existed, but it had become so thin that Xiao Mian could see a few miles away by using his Spirit-peeking Eyes.
Seeing the Grass-headed Miasma Mother that had transformed into a pink peach in his palm, Xiao Mian smiled faintly at the Peach Blossom Face that was staring at him resentfully, and walked towards it.
"You! Don't come over here! What do you want to do!?"
The Peach Blossom Face was very alert, shouting and retreating.
Xiao Mian didn't care about it, and walked forward on his own.
Not long after walking, he heard the sound of rippling water.
Then, through the hazy peach air, Xiao Mian saw the true appearance of the Nine-bend Peach Tree - he saw that the front was covered with green peach leaves, red peach flowers, and brown peach branches. It was lush and green, like a canopy in the air, and supporting this huge canopy was an extremely thick tree trunk.
The trunk was hundreds of feet tall, with twisted branches crisscrossing. From a distance, it didn't look like a peach tree, but rather like a dragon that was about to ascend to the sky, with the canopy on its head.
Not only did the nine peach dragons contain a trace of the power of a real dragon, but now this Nine-bend Peach Tree was clearly stained with the power of a real dragon.
Thinking about this, Xiao Mian gradually approached the Nine-bend Peach Tree.
The closer he got, the more frightened Xiao Mian was.
Xiao Mian finally came to the peach tree. He looked up and saw that the tree was more than a hundred feet tall, and the trunk was ten feet thick. The surface was covered with small branches, just like a dragon scale. The roots of the peach tree were intertwined and crisscrossed, covering an area of more than a hundred feet...
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian did not forget the purpose of this trip.
Just when Xiao Mian was about to bend down and cut off a section of the peach tree root, he suddenly found a stone pressing diagonally on the side of the peach tree. Because of a certain plan in his mind, Xiao Mian had a special liking for stones, and he couldn't help but observe it carefully. The more he looked, the more shocked Xiao Mian was.
The stone was only a foot long, blood red, and it was quietly pressed on the roots of the peach tree, and the pressed roots were also stained with blood...
Bending down, Xiao Mian reached out and touched the blood stone.
Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and Xiao Mian quickly retracted his right hand.
Seeing that the index finger of his right hand had turned red and was slightly painful, Xiao Mian couldn't help but be even more frightened. However, he turned his mind and condensed a magical power of a red dragon drilling into the sky at the fingertips of his right hand. Only then did he touch the blood stone again. This time, Xiao Mian was not hurt at all, but the fiery red dragon let out a joyful roar.
So that's it!
It's true!
No wonder the peach qi didn't condense into other things, but condensed into nine peach dragons. No wonder this nine-bend peach tree is obviously a plant, but it is full of dragon qi - it turns out that all the reasons are related to this blood stone - dragon blood stone!
This inconspicuous blood-red stone is actually the legendary dragon blood stone!
It is said that in ancient times, humans were small and all races were rampant. Among them, the dragon race was one of the few powerful races, dominating the four seas, suppressing the eight wildernesses, and dominating the heavens.
This dragon blood stone is said to be condensed from the blood of a real dragon.
However, since the battle of sealing the spirits ten thousand years ago, the so-called dragons in this world are only powerful monsters of the dragon subspecies. According to Guitou, in his era, real dragons were rare and were comparable to celestial beings!
I don’t know when this drop of real dragon blood was preserved. After millions of years of sedimentation, it turned into this piece of dragon blood stone. And in all likelihood, this piece of dragon blood stone has been sealed underground since its formation, otherwise it would have been taken by predecessors. Perhaps it was because of the growth of this nine-bend peach tree that the roots kept rising, which brought out the dragon blood stone and formed a symbiotic state with the peach tree.
In this way, it was a bargain for Xiao Mian.
This dragon blood stone is definitely a treasure!
Without hesitation, Xiao Mian put the dragon blood stone into the forbidden spirit box.
At the moment when the dragon blood stone entered the forbidden spirit box, the nine-bend peach tree moved without wind, and a faint sound of sorrow came from the interlaced branches.
Seeing that the peach tree only made a sound of sorrow but did not attack him, Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the peach tree.
"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs! This dragon blood stone is of great use to me. Now that I have seen it, I will naturally not miss it. Please forgive me for the offense!" After saying this, Xiao Mian stood up straight and said to himself: "But don't worry! I know you are a treasure, but I will only take a piece of your rhizome and will never hurt you at all!"
After Xiao Mian finished speaking, the overly large canopy trembled slightly and nodded three times.
Although he didn't know whether the peach tree understood what he meant, Xiao Mian still cut off a section of the peach tree's roots. The place where Xiao Mian cut was exactly where the dragon blood stone had pressed down before. The section of peach root was unusually thick and bloody.
After that, Xiao Mian circled around again. After not finding any treasures, he suddenly sank a thousand feet underground and dug out a simple stone chamber.
Asking Qing Jing to protect him, Xiao Mian began to refine the grass head miasma.
Before that, Xiao Mian asked Bai Caiwei to ask about some possible problems in refining the grass head miasma and the precautions during the refining process.
Although the toxicity of this group of grass head miasma may not be as good as that of the scorpion king Qingjing, it has already given birth to a trace of spirituality. It is this trace of spirituality that is the reason why the grass head miasma is called one of the three treasures of Longhutan. If it is forcibly refined to destroy or damage this trace of spirituality, it will be a loss, and it will be a loss!
Bai Caiwei was worthy of being the first poison maker in Wanzong City back then. She did give Xiao Mian a lot of meaningful suggestions, which made Xiao Mian more confident.
After that, Xiao Mian began the process of refining the grass-headed miasma.
As for Su Zhi, she would wait if she could, and die if she couldn't!
That woman had evil intentions. She tricked Xiao Mian into taking the peach tree roots just for the green radish poison in her body. If Xiao Mian didn't have some tricks, ordinary Jindan mid-level cultivators who entered the 30-mile radius would probably be able to escape.
Su Zhi asked Xiao Mian to take the peach tree roots, and she was also holding the mentality of giving it a try. If it works, it's best, and if it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Why should Xiao Mian care too much about that woman?
After that, Xiao Mian focused on refining the grass-headed miasma.
Originally, Xiao Mian estimated that it would take only ten days or half a month to refine the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother. However, in order to preserve the spirituality of the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother, this time was repeatedly delayed. In the end, when Xiao Mian successfully came out of retreat, it was already three months later!
Opening his eyes, Xiao Mian opened his palms. With a thought, a emerald green round bead that was a circle larger than a walnut appeared in his palm, and the lightning was surging.
This is the poisonous relic that has become a circle larger after swallowing the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother!
Looking more closely, there is a red line as thick as a hair moving quickly in the emerald green poisonous relic. This red line is the spirituality of the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother. It ran around and seemed to want to escape, but the outside of the poisonous relic was filled with golden lightning, and the red line could not escape from the poisonous relic at all, let alone escape from Xiao Mian's body.
The advancement of the poisonous relic was not the only gain of Xiao Mian from swallowing the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother.
To be precise, Xiao Mian has not completely tamed the spirituality of the Grass-headed Miasma Mother. Xiao Mian can only wait and see where the poisonous relic will go in the future.
Besides, the body of the Grass-headed Miasma Mother is the Eighth-level Spiritual Flower Three-eyed Flower Feather. Although the Grass-headed Miasma Mother swallowed up a huge amount of peach energy at Xiao Mian's instruction a few days ago, this cannot change the essence and function of the Grass-headed Miasma Mother as the Three-eyed Flower Feather.
After refining the Grass-headed Miasma Mother, Xiao Mian did not generate a new pupil technique.
But when he opened his eyes, Xiao Mian felt that his eyesight had improved a lot again. After operating the Spirit-peek Eye, he had a clearer grasp of the direction of the spiritual energy of things. Obviously, the Three-eyed Flower Feather does have the heaven-defying effect of advancing the Spirit-peek Eye.
But - why is it the Spirit-peek Eye! ?
This rubbish pupil technique can only see through the distribution and direction of the spiritual energy of static objects. It is completely useless in the ever-changing battle and has long been regarded as chicken ribs by Xiao Mian!
Think about it from another perspective. If Xiao Mian's pupil skills were Lu Chengzhi's Yin-Yang Sword Pupil, he might be able to go one step further after refining the Grass-Headed Miasma Mother. But even if the Spirit Eyes go one step further, what can they do? Even if the garbage is upgraded ten times, it's just ten times garbage! Can you still kill people with your eyes?
Xiao Mian retracted his gaze, feeling a little depressed.
Counting carefully, Xiao Mian has been away from Hongyun Cave for half a year.
I don't know if Su Zhi died of poison...
Forget it!
Let's take the roots of the Nine-Bend Peach Tree back to her. Putting aside the tail feathers of the Purple-Feathered Jade-Winged Heron, there are still many things that Xiao Mian likes in Hongyun Cave.
Thinking about this, Xiao Mian gradually floated up using the Earth Escape Technique.
During the process of floating up, Xiao Mian heard some sound of running water.
After a moment of shock, Su Zhi's words came to mind.
Near the Red Cloud Cave, there is a peach blossom miasma; in the peach blossom miasma, there is a peach blossom pond; beside the peach blossom pond, there is a three thousand year old nine-bend peach tree!
Previously, Xiao Mian sank into the ground near the peach tree, and the peach tree was near the peach blossom pond. In other words, Xiao Mian was not far from the peach blossom pond.
With this in mind, Xiao Mian used his useless spiritual eyes to look towards the place where the sound of water came from, and he saw a piece of green water in the distance.
Gradually approaching the peach blossom pond, Xiao Mian used the water escape technique to blend into it.
Although the water escape technique and the earth escape technique belong to the "Five Elements Escape Technique", it is much easier to float in the water than to float underground. Therefore, in just a moment, Xiao Mian floated under the surface of the peach blossom pond, but at this time, he heard a fight.
Huh...
It seems that during the three months of retreat to refine the grass head miasma mother, it was very lively outside!
