The full-strength Fire Lotus Nine Steps technique and the charged-up Death Kill Secret Technique are both extremely spiritual and mentally draining Taoist techniques. He Gu lay flat on the ground, his face turning pale after losing his strength.
There was so much commotion here that he felt like leaving immediately.
There was no time to express his emotion that a demon in the fourth realm could make him, a cultivator in the fifth realm, end up in such a miserable state. He put the elixir in his hand into the jade box and put it back into the storage bag. He Gu gritted his teeth and pushed himself up to stand up.
He quickly determined the direction and decisively chose to leave from the side.
Not long after he left, four figures came from the sky and fell into the basin.
The head of the strong man looks somewhat similar to Cai Qing, and he is Cai Qing's brother Cai Lan.
Seeing that there was no one around, he turned pale.
Even though the eye-catching red light that streaked across the sky was produced by another person and was slightly different in color, he could still identify it as his younger brother Cai Qing's most proud trump card, the secret skill of death.
"That guy really stole Cai Qing's storage bag..."
A disciple next to him saw that Cai Lan's face was not good-looking and asked tentatively: "That kid must not be able to run far. Junior Brother Cai, should we give chase?"
Hearing this, Cai Lan was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head.
"No, senior brother's matters are important. Now is the critical moment. It won't be too late to wait for the next safe period to find him."
Hearing this, the other three people breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the matter of settling accounts with He Gu is more of Cai Lan's personal matter. This is not why they came to participate in the Demon Conquering Trial.
If it weren't for the sake of their senior brother Jiang Lintian, they would not have followed their junior brother Cai Lan.
On the other side, He Gu held back his breath and flew around, turning left and right without any pattern.
He stopped after a quarter of an hour.
It is surrounded by a canyon more than ten feet wide, with large and small natural caves scattered on the cliffs on both sides.
After exploration with spiritual consciousness, most of them are connected.
He Gu spotted one of the caves and jumped into it.
He didn't seal the hole, which would have looked awkward from the outside.
After checking that there were no traces of living creatures, he set up a hidden warning array not far from the entrance of the cave, then walked along the passage to the first intersection and meditated on the spot.
There were no major injuries on his body, it was just an excessive loss of spiritual power.
Half an hour later, the spiritual power in He Gu's body returned to its full state and became vigorous.
Without getting up, he took out the jade box that had just contained the elixir from the storage bag on his waist.
As soon as I opened the jade box, a strong medicinal fragrance hit my nose.
“Medium quality, not bad!”
The elixirs below the immortal level only have an effect on the nine realms and the mortal realm below, so the value of the elixirs of the third level of heaven, earth and human will not suddenly open up a huge gap.
After reaching the immortal level, the value of the elixir will skyrocket, and it will become priceless.
One ordinary earth-grade elixir of medium quality is equivalent to the value of five to six ordinary elixirs of low-grade character.
This trip took nearly two hours, and the profit was only slightly higher than before in the periphery.
Of course, this is just a preliminary comparison and is not sufficiently demonstrative.
After all, most disciples move from the periphery of the Demon Prisoner Island to the center. As they move to the back and the scope shrinks, the income will gradually decrease, and it is impossible to guarantee that the efficiency will always be the same as at the beginning.
And here he has never met a fellow student so far. There is no competition and the income is directly linked to time, so he can always maintain this momentum.
Besides, there are also high-quality elixirs. If a larger proportion is harvested, the income will be greatly improved.
The only pity is that he is alone, otherwise the efficiency and safety could be improved.
Recalling the entire process of his previous battle with the demon, he couldn't help but look inside his Dantian.
Since the last test, He Gu has not communicated with the Golden Spirit Seal.
At this time, his itching curiosity drove him to activate the golden point that savagely occupied the original position of the fire root.
But unexpectedly, an unexpected and magical scene suddenly appeared.
He can actually sense the existence of similar light spots within a thousand feet nearby!
No, it’s more like the one-way privileged induction that the mother has towards its children!
After reacting, He Gu was overjoyed.
Before, he was worried about how to save effort when encountering the elixir and uncover the demons underground.
The auxiliary effect brought by the Golden Spirit Seal is like rain from heaven, a stroke of genius!
When the time comes, if you operate it properly and combine it with the secret technique of killing, you may be able to hit a demon in one strike. After all, the demon can avoid the detection of divine consciousness but cannot avoid the induction of the golden spirit seal.
Furthermore, the demon is definitely not aware of his exposed fatal point.
If you fail to retreat, but if you succeed in collecting medicine and go to the next trip, it can be said to be the most efficient method in theory.
Just in case, he patiently studied how to exert the power of the Golden Spirit Seal from a distance.
Perhaps it was because he had seen the demon use it, and it was not as difficult to understand as he imagined. Half an hour later, a faint golden light was successfully condensed in the air under the control of He Gu's consciousness.
He Gu, who was immersed in the double happiness, did not realize that his energy had been secretly locked by the powerful consciousness of an old underground monster since he stepped into the central area of the Demon Prison Island.
At the moment when he condensed the golden light, the owner of his spiritual consciousness was stunned.
It was obvious from the qi machine that only He Gu existed there, but the energy fluctuations of the spiritual seal unique to the demons appeared in the overlap.
Although it was very weak, he was extremely sure that there was nothing wrong with the induction.
"Huh? This kid is from my clan?"
"...But, how could he become a disciple in Wu Zong and still arrogantly participate in Wu Zong's major trials?"
"Weird, weird."
An undercover agent went to a large human sect. Thinking of this possibility, the old monster couldn't help but curse.
"It's so fucking outrageous..."
…
After using it several times to gain a certain level of proficiency, He Gu withdrew the control of the Golden Spirit Seal.
Time is the spiritual stone of white flowers.
Not bothering to explore why the Golden Spirit Seal was connected with the existence of the demon, he stood up and walked out of the cave, put away the formation flag and looked for the next place.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the next day, in addition to the necessary supplementary rest, He Gudu cycled through the process of searching for medicine, acting as a sneak attack, and collecting medicine.
During this period, he encountered a demon in the Five Realms once, and he decisively turned around and ran away.
If he risked exposure and used the Golden Spirit Seal to fight, he would still be able to fight, but the time spent would definitely be extended, which was not in line with his original intention of seeking the maximum overall benefit.
The demon obviously valued the elixir he had behind him. He Gu was not killed in a sneak attack and he gave up the pursuit after seeing that He Gu was determined to go.
I was just quite surprised that He Gu's reaction was so sensitive and he stayed in place for a long time.
At the end of the day, He Gu found a total of eighteen places where elixirs grew.
Among them, he ran away once, missed five times in sneak attacks, and succeeded twelve times.
Thanks to two local elixirs growing in two places at the same time, a total of fifteen local elixirs were harvested.
Among them, there are eleven strains of medium-grade elixirs and four of top-grade elixirs.
Together with the previously harvested low-grade elixir of high quality and the nearly twenty low-grade elixir harvested in the periphery, the total estimated value is 100,000 spiritual stones, which can be said to make one instantly wealthy.
"Sure enough, it's not in vain." Touching the storage bag, He Gu smiled broadly.
What he didn't know was that Cai Lan and others on the other side were about to be pissed off by him.
Although he had decided not to go to He Gu to settle the score at this moment, Cai Lan could not help but rush over with his three senior brothers after seeing the dazzling red light flashing across the sky several times.
As a result, He Gu was nowhere to be seen every time.
Once, the red light appeared not far from them. When the four people rushed over in anger, there was not even a ghost.
The most terrifying thing is that there was a mutilated corpse of a demon lying in the pit that appeared at the scene several times.
This was actually because He Gu used a last-ditch blow to dig out the corpse in order to prevent the demon underground from dying.
As an old disciple who has participated in many trials, Cai Lan naturally knows how strong the demons in the central area of the Demon Prison Island are generally.
To end the battle so quickly, if it was He Guren's handiwork, he didn't believe it in his heart.
The only conclusion that can be drawn is that someone has joined forces with He Gu, but I can't imagine that an elite disciple from that peak would be so bold and dare to collude with He Gu.
If He Gu was not alone, then he would really need the help of these three senior brothers of the same level beside him.
But now because he insisted on bringing people over, he failed several times and wasted a lot of time. At this time, he can clearly feel the dissatisfaction on the faces of the senior brothers around him.
Fortunately, the three of them and their senior fellow apprentices were indeed angered by He Gu's "clearly toying with them."
Cai Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three senior brothers beside him showing genuine anger and threatening to help him catch He Gu.
He coughed lightly and promptly corrected his wrong command: "Junior brother, I'll thank you all first. Let's go back now. If we see that guy's tricks later, we'll ignore him for the time being."
As he spoke, a paper crane flew out of the crack in the void and fell into Cai Lan's hands.
After taking a look at the contents of the spiritual letter, he quickly waved and said: "Elder brother ordered us to go over immediately to provide support..."
…
After succeeding repeatedly, He Gu gradually became bolder.
This area has been basically searched by him. If he changes places to the left and right, he may end up walking through areas that others have already searched.
He had heard the sound of Taoist collisions on both sides before, but he never dared to "cross the line."
After a slight hesitation, he went deeper this time towards the Demon Suppressing Peak in the distance.
According to the rules discovered, the probability of a high-quality elixir appearing in the front will be greater. In the same way, the probability of a demon in the Five Realms will also increase.
Anyway, he can sense the location of the demon in advance, so as long as he is careful when approaching, it won't be a big problem.
Excluding the half day left for the return trip, there was less than one day left for him to use.
He planned to take more risks and try to go deeper. If it didn't work, he would just give up. He would choose another route to try his luck and return to the outside to "overnight" while searching.
After only half an hour of marching, he heard the sound of fighting coming from ahead, and his face suddenly turned dark.
"Surrounded on three sides, are you so unlucky?"
The person in front must not have entered through the way he came, otherwise he would not have been able to find the location of the eighteen elixirs so easily before.
Most likely it came from both sides.
He deeply despised people who did not abide by the "hidden rules" and "crossed the line" at will.
“There are so few people, the place is so big, and it’s so crowded, I’m really lacking in quality...”
With a murmur, he crouched and sneaked up carefully this time.
The visibility on the island has been reduced to about sixty feet, which is a distance that is easily exposed.
He Gu tried his best to control his realm aura and calm his heartbeat and breathing.
The entrance is a valley entrance, and there are disciples from three camps confronting each other at the entrance.
The leaders are Jiang Lintian from Wuxin Peak, Jian Yi, the chief disciple from Bladeless Peak, and Elegant Senior Sister from Wuxin Peak.
Of course, these are not the point.
The key point is that even though he is so far away from the mouth of the valley, he can actually smell the strong aroma of medicine coming towards his face!
It can be vaguely distinguished that it is not emitted by a single elixir, but more like a large group of elixirs gathered together.
Looking beyond the three parties and looking at the entrance of the mysterious valley hidden at the end of the gray mist, He Gu's mind suddenly became active.
