"Is this Qixialian famous? What is its special use?" Bai Ran's unhurried voice came from behind the monks.
Upon hearing this sound, the monk surnamed Jian and the others were startled, their minds immediately cleared up a little, and they looked back at Bai Ran unnaturally.
These people have all seen the power of gold-eating insects. If they work together, they are probably no match for these strange insects. Now that they have discovered such a precious thing, they are subconsciously feeling uneasy.
Even Jin Qing, the person who urged Bai Ran to come with him, showed a hint of hesitation.
With Bai Ran's scheming mind, he roughly knew what they were thinking just by looking at the expressions on these people's faces, and he couldn't help but have a trace of self-mockery flash in his eyes.
But this strange color was quickly concealed in his heart, and he continued to ask as if he didn't know anything on his face:
"The name Qixialian is very unique! I have read a lot of classics! Why don't you have any impression of it?"
The monks opposite looked at each other, and Hu Yue coughed dryly before explaining to Bai Ran with a smile:
"It seems that fellow Taoist Bai has been working hard and rarely touches things other than cultivation. Even if fellow Taoist Taoist Bai searches through all the spiritual herbs books, he probably won't be able to find the name Qixialian. But it is one of those legends passed down by mouth.
In the story, Qixialian is a thing that often appears. It is said that after taking it, ordinary people can regain their youth and turn their bones into flesh. Immortal cultivators who take it can increase their cultivation level greatly, and even rise to one level. This is a legendary thing of the immortal family!"
After saying these words, even though Hu Yue was a little wary of Bai Ran, she still couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
"Really? So wonderful?" Bai Ran narrowed his eyes and said as if he didn't believe it.
"I don't know about this. If we hadn't seen this Qixialian with our own eyes today, we wouldn't have believed that this thing really existed in the world! However, there must be monks who would spend a lot of spiritual stones to buy it, but this is
Really," Hu Yue said with a smile.
"That's it!" Bai Ran nodded lightly, no longer looking at the Qixialian, but lowered his head to observe the extremely white bones, showing a rather interested expression.
Seeing Bai Ran's indifferent appearance, with no intention of taking it all for himself, the other people secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist Jian, go and pick those Seven-Hydron Lotus! After the auction, we will divide the spirit stones equally. Fairy Shi, please check if there are any formation restrictions near the pond." Hu Yue rushed to the monk surnamed Jian and the secret envoy Shi Die.
With a wink, he took the opportunity to say.
After hearing this, the two people looked at Bai Ran thoughtfully and agreed.
After feeling that Bai Ran's strength was too weak, these people couldn't help but unite and became a little xenophobic towards Bai Ran.
After hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Jin Qing's face, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't say a word.
At this time, Di Bairan was half-crouched beside the skeleton, looking carefully at something. His expression was as usual. This made Hu Yue, who had always stared at him carefully, feel relieved.
"There are no restrictions near the pool, so fellow Taoist Jian can pick it with confidence." Shidie said with certainty after checking it with several magic tools.
When the monk surnamed Jian heard this, he immediately walked over with great joy.
"Be careful. It is said that Qixialian cannot be touched with magic weapons or anything like that. It can only be picked off by hand. Otherwise it will dry up immediately!" Hu Yue's expression changed, as if he had remembered something, and he spoke hastily.
prompted.
The monk surnamed Jian waved his hand without looking back, indicating that he already knew.
At this moment, his mind was entirely focused on the buds of the Seven-Hydron Lotus.
Standing by the pool made of bright jade, the monk surnamed Jian bowed slightly and stretched out two fingers to the three-color flower buds cautiously.
Shi Die and others followed his picking movements. They couldn't help but hold their breath and watched his every move without blinking.
"Huh!" He made a surprised sound.
"What's going on?" Hu Yue and Shi Die asked in unison, with worries on their faces.
It is hard to say whether they are worried about the pickers or the things they pick.
"It's a bit strange. Why are the roots of this flower so strong? It seems difficult to pull out." The monk surnamed Jian retracted his finger, moved it a little, and said with some doubts.
"If you can't pull it out, just pinch it off!" Hu Yue advocated after turning her eyes slightly.
"Pinch it off directly? This will greatly reduce the value of Qixialian!" Shi Die shook his head, with an expression of disapproval on his face.
"Wait a minute, I'll use the power technique and try again." The monk surnamed Jian took out a yellow talisman, patted it on his body, and then raised all five fingers to grab the place three inches below the flower bud.
Just pull it out hard.
"Wait a minute!" Bai Ran, who was studying the bones, suddenly stopped him without raising his head.
Hu Yue and others' hearts trembled for a moment, and they became a little surprised and confused.
The monk named Jian also felt cold in his heart, but when he looked at the dazzling flower buds close at hand, his heart skipped a beat, and he exerted a strong force on his palm as if he had never heard of it.
But the Qixialian remained as if it were made of iron.
Now the monk surnamed Jian was even more anxious. He simply tightened his fingers and pulled instead of pinching.
At this time, the flower bud finally reacted, quietly trembling a few times, then suddenly shrank into the pool and disappeared without a trace.
There was a "plop". The monk surnamed Jian, who was not lifted up, was pulled into the pool by the huge force from the flower stem, and the milky white water splashed everywhere.
The stone fairy was closer and was immediately hit in the face by several drops of water.
Immediately, a scream came!
"Poisonous, this water is poisonous!" The female cultivator covered her face with her hands and shouted in shock and anger.
Then she hurriedly reached into her storage bag and took out a red medicine bottle, poured out a handful of fiery red pills, and poured it into her small mouth in panic.
At the moment when he took the elixir, Hu Yue and Jin Qing saw a festering face covered with yellow blisters, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Even when Bai Ran saw it, his expression changed slightly.
This stone fairy only had a few drops of humiliation before she turned into such an appearance. What about the monk surnamed Jian who fell into the pool?
Thinking of this, Jin Qing and others looked at the jade pond filled with milky white water.
There has been no news since the man fell into the pool. His screams were not heard, and he was seen struggling to call for help.
They were a little scared!
At this time, Shi Die finally stopped moaning, and pulled off a corner of her dress to cover her head tightly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the pool, her eyes full of resentment.
"Gululu" a string of water bubbles floated out from the depths of the pool. Then, a rotten corpse floated out of the water.
Everyone's faces turned blue.
Judging from the remaining clothing on the corpse, it was the corpse of the monk named Jian.
It's just that at this moment, he is riddled with holes, his body is dripping with bones, his eyes are empty, and his eyeballs have long since turned into nothing, which makes people feel chilly just looking at him!
"How did it become like this? How could the thousand-year-old stone milk be so poisonous?" Hu Yue murmured in disbelief.
"Thousand-year-old stone milk is not poisonous, but if someone poisons the pool, it will be another matter." Bai Ran stood up and said slowly with a breath.
"Fellow Daoist Bai! You just shouted to stop, do you already know that the pool is poisonous?" Shi Die's voice was a little hoarse, and she asked Bai Ran coldly.
"I don't know if it's poisonous or not. But this Qixialian is not so easy to pick, but I can tell. Take a look at the right hand of this white skeleton!" Bai Ran gently tapped the bones under his feet with his toes, calmly and calmly.
said.
After hearing this, Hu Yue and others couldn't help but look carefully, and found strange expressions on their faces.
The entire right hand bone of the white bone was not only completely black, but the index finger was also incomplete and missing a small section. The fracture was uneven, as if it had been bitten off by something.
Bai Ran didn't look at the questioning expressions of the others, nor did he explain anything, but stared at the pool with a cold light in his eyes.
In the milky white water, the "Seven Clouds Lotus" surfaced again at some point, still exuding a gorgeous luster, but the eyes of Hu Yue and others looking at it were like poisonous scorpions at this moment.
Without saying a word, Ran opened his five fingers, and five small fireballs floated on his fingertips. Then he flicked his fingers quietly, and the fireballs formed a straight line and shot towards the seven rosy clouds.
Jin Qing and others were shocked, but there were previous cases, which did not stop Bai Ran from taking action. Lian swayed left and right in the firelight for a few times, and suddenly retracted into the water. Then a black shadow flashed, and something emerged from the water.
It flew out of the water and shot towards Bai Ran like an arrow.
