Chapter 57 A Blessing in Misfortune
The hall was filled with a strong smell of blood. Of the nearly a hundred Gu Masters, not a single one escaped.
There was deathly silence all around.
There was only the sound of Lu Yuan's deep breathing.
After a while, the clan leader raised his head from the ground, looked at Lu Yuan's feet with trepidation, and said in a trembling voice: "Immortal Master... Immortal Master!"
Lu Yuan tilted his head: "Oh? There are still... those who are not dead?"
After speaking, he opened his mouth wide and walked towards the clan leader.
All the fox demons were lying on the ground, too frightened to express their anger.
Lu Yuan came to the clan leader and grabbed his hair.
Under the suppression of absolute power, the patriarch did not struggle. He exposed his neck and breathed rapidly.
Lu Yuan paused, showed a strange smile, opened his mouth and bit the clan leader's neck fiercely.
"Click!"
The moment he bit it, Lu Yuan's remaining consciousness caused him to turn to the right.
The teeth clenched together five inches away from the patriarch's neck.
The clan leader did not dare to move his neck or head. He looked sideways at Lu Yuan, who was very close at hand. His whole body was already soaked with sweat.
Alas! It is better to die in the hands of the immortal master than to die in the hands of those humans. He thought with relief.
Lu Yuan turned his head slightly and looked at the clan leader. His red eyes seemed like molten iron.
He growled low and threw the clan leader to the ground. Then he turned around and muttered to himself: "Hungry! So hungry!"
Lu Yuan's eyes scanned the group of fox demons: "It smells so good, let me take a bite!"
But every time I walked over and wanted to eat them, I would forcefully turn around and walk back.
The fox demons still didn't dare to move.
After walking back and forth several times, Lu Yuan's eyes accidentally glanced at a small ball that was slowly moving and emitting an emerald green light in the corner of the wall.
Curious, he walked over and picked it up.
This ball exudes a fishy odor, but sometimes it also emits the aroma of herbs. It feels a little soft to the touch, and has a texture similar to glutinous rice balls.
"It seems edible..." Lu Yuan looked at it, picked it up and put it in his mouth. He swallowed it in one gulp without even chewing it.
When the small ball entered his stomach, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat and stomach!
It is a pain that reaches deep into the soul!
His face and body suddenly turned gray-green, and it looked like billions of poisonous insects and ants were crawling across his body.
"roar!"
Lu Yuan roared into the sky, and the sound wave blasted a large hole with a radius of five feet in the top of the hall.
Afterwards, his body went limp and he collapsed on the ground.
…………
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Immortal Master!"
"After three days of coma, the immortal master finally woke up!"
"Great! Go and report to the clan leader!"
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan heard these sounds in a daze.
He tried hard to open his eyelids, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and looked around blankly.
There were five or six fox demons surrounding him, both male and female, all wearing white robes with grass blades on them. Their eyes were filled with surprise.
Turning his head slightly, he found himself lying on a large and warm bed, covered with a light green fluffy and fragrant quilt.
"Water..." A vague word came out of Lu Yuan's dry mouth.
The fox demons on the side immediately shouted in a hurry: "Water, water, water! The immortal master wants to drink water!"
An exquisite jade water cup was immediately brought to Lu Yuan's mouth.
He drank the warm water from the cup greedily.
"Cough cough cough!"
He drank too hard and choked on the water.
"Master, please drink slowly!" A female fox demon was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she immediately came up and patted his chest.
After drinking water and gaining some strength, Lu Yuan secretly tried to mobilize the mysterious energy in his Dantian, but found that the mysterious energy flow was stagnant, and his meridians felt tingling as it circulated.
I seem to have had a dream. In the dream, I turned into a... unicorn.
Lu Yuan said to himself in his heart. He fully understood that his previous mutation was the Qilin mutation!
After many Kirin transformations, he gradually felt that this kind of demon transformation usually only appeared when he became possessed or his life was seriously threatened.
And after a unicorn transformation, it seems to take a long time before this happens again.
One day, I, Lu Yuan, will take the initiative to control this power!
By the way, where is Guo Pu?
He was startled and quickly used his spiritual consciousness to sense the presence of the demon servant.
Although the demon-collecting gourd was not on his waist, his consciousness still sensed a familiar and sturdy figure.
That Hanhan is not in the gourd, but he is still alive, haha. Lu Yuan laughed secretly.
But Guo Pu didn't respond to him.
Lao Guo, you are seriously injured, please have a good rest. Lu Yuan didn't care whether he could hear it or not, he was communicating with him in his heart.
At this time, a fox demon next to him whispered: "The clan leader is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the patriarch immediately appeared in front of the hospital bed. His originally resolute and cold face was now full of anxiety and worry.
"Master Immortal, how do you... feel?" the clan leader asked softly.
Lu Yuan tilted his head and said weakly: "It's... not bad, I've recovered a bit."
The clan leader knelt down and said respectfully: "The immortal master saved the lives of my entire clan and is our reborn parent. Please accept my three bows!"
After saying "dong dong dong", he kowtowed three times. When he raised his head, blood was already flowing from his forehead.
Lu Yuan smiled silently: "Clan leader, you don't have to be like this... I'll wait for another day to recover, I still have something to ask for."
The patriarch said: "Master Immortal, rest first. No matter what you do, just ask, I will do it even if I risk my life!"
Lu Yuan said again: "By the way, remember you were poisoned by the great Gu Master, have you recovered?"
"You have a note from Immortal Lao. After you killed Elder Lei, I searched his Qiankun bag and found the antidote."
Lu Yuan nodded, closed his eyes and rested.
The patriarch bowed, whispered a few words to the doctor next to him, and then walked out gently.
Lu Yuan immersed his consciousness into himself to observe the damage to his body after the battle.
To his surprise, there was no damage to his body. However, he detected the presence of some toxins in the blood and meridians.
Why are there toxins in my body?
He closed his eyes and tried to remember. In a daze, he remembered a scene in his dream - he raised his head and swallowed a small ball shaped like a glutinous rice dumpling.
He suddenly remembered: That was... the small ball that fell from the mirror after the Qingming Mirror exploded!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt his hair standing on end and a chill running down his spine:
I...I ate all the toxins collected by the Clear Mirror!
In the last war, the poisons used by the Gu Masters were all extremely poisonous. Although there were very few poisons that directly killed people, those controlling and paralyzing poisons would be equally deadly if absorbed in large amounts.
He looked inside more carefully and found that there were no adverse effects of poisoning. Instead, he felt that his internal organs were particularly cool and comfortable.
Lu Yuan immediately understood that the Qingming Mirror purified the toxins after absorbing them.
The poison he ate was not completely purified, but the poison was no longer strong.
After being eaten, these poisons activate the body's resistance to toxins.
He suddenly recalled what Hu Bugui said before - in order to improve the resistance to toxins, some Gu masters deliberately use special mystical techniques to reduce the toxicity of poisons before eating them.
This involves certain risks, but as long as the occult is used properly, it is relatively safe.
Especially if you take second-level poison for a long time, you will be able to resist the toxins created by third-level monks or monsters!
At this time, Lu Yuan had eaten a huge amount of second-level toxins. Not only was he invulnerable to all poisons, at least third-level toxins were basically ineffective against him.
He didn't expect that this would be a blessing in disguise, as he suddenly gained poison resistance.
When he recovers, he will definitely find some third-level poison to try the effect. Lu Yuan smiled in his heart and went to sleep with peace of mind.
…………
After resting for a day, Lu Yuan basically recovered his physical strength and profound strength.
Moreover, due to the battle, his Dantian was replenished after the Xuan Qi was exhausted, causing his cultivation to greatly increase.
The second-level cultivation entrance in Tianling Gai seems to be loose.
Guo Pu healed his wounds in the gourd.
Fortunately, he only ran out of profound energy and suffered some superficial injuries, but nothing serious.
Through this battle with the Gu Master, Lu Yuan further understood Guo Pu's power - he transformed dead objects, and poisons and control poisons had no effect on him.
However, the corrosive toxins did great damage to his steel skin and muscles.
Chapter completed!
