Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 85 Blood Field (Two chapters in one)

After the pale man Yu Xiao finished speaking, he turned and left. The black snake looked at Gong Tianwu, licked his lips, and also turned around and followed him.

At this time, Elder Sun slowly walked to the front of the hall, picked up the tablet beside him and read:

"No. 11, please listen to the verdict. After you killed our disciple Bai Ming (Crow Seven) the day before yesterday, you were able to voluntarily surrender and confess your guilt. Your attitude was sincere."

"And Bai Ming himself is guilty of a crime and refuses to repent, so I punish you to hand over fifteen bottles of blood and flesh essence within three years. Do you understand?"

Gong Tianwu endured the pain, panted slightly and said loudly:
"Yes, heard clearly."

Elder Sun waved his hand, signaling him to leave, then he walked to the window with his hands behind his back calmly, seemingly in a daze, but the shadow under his feet changed more and more dramatically.

Needless to say, Gong Tianwu would definitely follow Scarface Deng, but Black Snake was extremely cruel and he started vomiting blood after taking a few steps.

Senior Brother Deng pretended not to see it, and just slowed down his pace, and said bluntly:

"There are three types of disciples in our sect: inner disciples, entry-level disciples, and nominal disciples. Then there are apprentices and menial servants."

"The qualifications of nominal disciples have reached the recognition of this sect, but the basic skills have not yet been mastered. They will all be taught by the elders who pass on the skills."

"The entry-level disciples are selected from the nominal disciples and formally become disciples of a certain master."

"Inner disciples are the elite disciples of our sect. They must have made great contributions and have strong strength to enter. In the future, the elders and senior leaders of our sect will be promoted from them."

"When Yaqi, whom you killed, was still an apprentice, he mastered the Blood Crow Technique to the point of being completely familiar with it in just one and a half years. He is considered a prodigy that only appears once in ten years. He is just waiting for the grand ceremony of our sect, and the head of the Punishment Hall, Wen Hall Master, will formally accept him as his disciple."

"The person who brought you here just now is Black Snake, who has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. The one holding the scroll is Yu Xiao, who has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and is trying to reach the eighth level."

"These two people are making things difficult for you. It should be that Master Wen heard that Yaqi was killed and was confused, so these two people took the initiative to share his worries."

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu said sincerely:
"Thank you for your advice. May I ask what is the level of Yaqi's cultivation?"

Senior Brother Deng said calmly:

"He is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. However, he was not strong-willed when he tried to break through the third level of Qi Refining, and he barely passed the level of Tao Xin. So, he is actually at most at the fourth level of Qi Refining."

The two of them talked as they walked, and soon they left the jurisdiction of the Punishment Hall. At this time, Brother Deng saw that he was dirty, messy and torn, so he directly threw a new set of standard robes from the War Hall for him to change into.

Then Senior Brother Deng blew a whistle, and they saw a ball of blood mist flying from a distance. It rolled towards Gong Tianwu fiercely, wrapped him up in it, and flew straight into the sky.

After flying for about ten minutes, Gong Tianwu saw a mountain suddenly appearing in front of him.

The shape of this mountain is like a palm, but with only four fingers.

You can see that what is flowing on the mountains is actually a blood spring and a red waterfall. The trees on it are mostly red maples, and there are also many kinds of vines, such as dragon blood vine and chicken blood vine. The blooming flowers include amaryllis, roses, dahlias, etc.

When he got closer, Gong Tianwu realized that the four fingers were actually four towering mountains!

Senior Brother Deng pointed at the four peaks and said:

"The shortest one is called Shaoshang Peak. It is the residence of our War Hall Master and is also a forbidden area. Don't get close to it if you have nothing to do."

"The one facing us is Shangyang Peak. It's empty inside, but there are many blood beasts inside. No one will care if you want to go in, but if you die, you can't blame anyone."

"The one next to it is Guanchong Peak. The one living inside is Old Man Wuyu, a veteran of our Battle Hall. He just stepped down as Deputy Hall Master three years ago and is in seclusion here. Meeting him could be an opportunity, or it could be a disaster."

"The master lives at the highest Zhongchong Peak. If you need to see him for something in the future, you can come to the foot of the mountain. There are always blood eagles living there. You can ask them to pass notes up, but whether you will see him or not depends on his mood."

As he was speaking, Gong Tianwu was swept by the red mist to the top of Zhongchong Peak, and then fell directly to the ground. He found that the place was occupied by a huge pool of blood!

The area of ​​this blood pool is at least as large as two football fields and is shaped like a gourd.

What's even more exaggerated is that the blood pool looks very deep, and there seems to be some huge monster swimming in it! From time to time, a deep vortex will appear in the blood pool.

Qi Liansheng was floating more than ten meters above the blood pool, with his eyes closed and his hands on his chest, constantly making hand gestures. He looked very mysterious, probably practicing martial arts.

There was a woman in palace dress waiting beside him. She was tall and pretty, but she gave people a cold feeling. She was holding a mahogany tray with a towel and a medicine cup on it.

Senior Brother Deng and Gong Tianwu could only wait silently by the side, not daring to make a sound.

After about a few minutes, Qi Liansheng slowly spat out a mouthful of blood mist, which should mean that he had successfully completed the task.

Then Qi Liansheng walked down from the void step by step as if there were some stairs under his feet, and came to the front of the woman in palace makeup and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Lian'er."

The woman nodded.

Qi Liansheng picked up the snow-white towel from the mahogany tray and wiped his face, then picked up the medicine cup next to it and drank the contents in one gulp.

Lian'er then left again carrying the mahogany tray. When she walked, she was as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind, with a unique charm, yet her speed seemed slow, and she soon disappeared in the distance.

Then Qi Liansheng coughed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and walked slowly in front of the two of them.

The first sentence he said immediately chilled Gong Tianwu's heart:
"Before you killed Yaqi, you investigated me carefully, right?"

Gong Tianwu was silent for a while, then nodded decisively and said:

"Yes!"

Qi Liansheng showed a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth:
"Yes, you dare to admit it?"

Gong Tianwu said:

"I heard that when you were a student for one year, you killed your senior brother who had been bullying you."

"And this matter has spread widely. It would not have been possible without your acquiescence. So I don't think this matter is a problem for you."

"And what I said before is all true. I have indeed been forced into a desperate situation by Yaqi. If he doesn't die, then I will die. So, I can only take a gamble!"

Qi Liansheng waved his hand without comment, then said to Deng Tong next to him:

"A-11 was seriously injured?"

Deng Tong was silent for a moment and said:

"Yes, I arrived a little late, and I didn't expect that Black Snake and Yu Xiao would dare to take action directly."

Qi Liansheng said calmly:
"You have followed me for so many years, you should know my rules: only care about the results, not the process!"

Deng Tong looked like a child who had made a mistake. He lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"Yes, it's my fault."

But at this moment, Gong Tianwu's eyes suddenly lit up, because the divine reading technique happened to be activated at this time, and he heard Deng Tong's inner voice:

Ahem, this guy is not as submissive as he appears to be. He started cursing in his heart, and the curses were very dirty, and a small part of them were actually related to the servant Lian'er. Qi Liansheng was silent for a while, and suddenly he flicked his fingers. Deng Tong immediately groaned and took a few steps back, looking extremely painful.

Immediately, he vomited a finger-sized bright red blood cell from his mouth. What was even more mysterious was that the surface of the blood cell was shining with a glass-like luster.

At this time, Deng Tong's face was pale, and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the bright red blood ball flew towards Gong Tianwu, and after a flash, it sank into his chest.

Gong Tianwu suddenly felt an indescribable burning sensation coming from his chest. He screamed and fell to his knees.

However, the burning sensation quickly spread to the wounds and broken bones on his back, but this time it did not bring him pain, but a sense of relief and comfort.

Then, the burning sensation quickly moved downward and began to reach the lower abdomen.

The blood surge practiced by Gong Tianwu will form a blood vortex here. When this thing takes shape, it means that he has reached the first level of Qi Refining Stage and has been officially promoted to a cultivator.

Even if you are not practicing normally, this blood vortex will slowly rotate and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own. In this case, its rotation will not cause any harm to the body.

At this moment, the burning sensation began to quickly concentrate on the blood vortex, and began to transform and strengthen it in some extremely mysterious way, accompanied by great pain.

In the following time, Gong Tianwu found himself in a strange state of inner vision. He almost lost his perception of the outside world, but he could clearly see that the blood vortex in his Qi Sea began to reverse. At the same time, the blood vortex also underwent a qualitative change and transformed into a slowly rotating blood wheel! !

When the blood wheel took shape, Gong Tianwu slowly regained consciousness and found that the sky had become completely dark and there was no part of his body that did not feel pain.

Gong Tianwu immediately checked his own condition and found that his basic attributes had increased to a certain extent.

That would be fine, but the key point is that the mental method of cultivation has actually undergone a great change. From the previous blood surge force it has turned into blood wheel force, and one's own cultivation has also improved.

Neither Qi Liansheng nor Deng Tong were anywhere to be seen. Only an old man in a green robe was standing beside them. Judging from his attire and demeanor, he was probably not of high status, but a servant or something like that.

Seeing Gong Tianwu waking up, the old man silently placed a token and a glass of wine beside him.

"The master said that you should drink this cup of wine after you wake up, and then come to find me at the foot of the peak tomorrow. Remember to hang this bloody battle card around your waist, otherwise you will not be able to enter."

Gong Tianwu picked up the token and found that it was only half a finger long and seemed to be made of crystal. There was a red light constantly wandering and colliding inside, and it seemed that it would never stop. There was also a word "war" written in a flamboyant manner on it.

The glass of wine was purple-black in color and gave off a pungent smell, which looked like poison. But Gong Tianwu had no choice but to pick it up and drink it all.

But what Gong Tianwu did not expect was that after drinking it, he actually felt much more comfortable all over, as if there was an extremely overbearing airflow in his chest that was rushing through his meridians, and many blocked parts were unblocked.

Not only that, Gong Tianwu felt that the blood wheel in his dantian had become more solid. He bowed to the old man and said:
"Thank you. May I ask your name?"

The old man waved his hand and said:

"I am a lowly person, unworthy of your honorable name. You can just call me Canbo."

After finishing speaking, the old man took Gong Tianwu down from Zhongchong Peak. If they continued walking forward, they would find that the roads leading to the four peaks converged together to form a road, and this road was called the Path of Conquest.

After walking another seven or eight miles along the Zhengzhu Trail, a lake called Fuyanghai appeared. Surrounding the lake were hundreds of stilted bamboo houses, making it quite lively.

The area around Fuyanghai was like a market, and almost all the people living there were from the War Hall, including servants, servants, guests, etc.

Can Bo brought Gong Tianwu into a bamboo building, found an empty room for him to live in, transferred 100 contribution points into his black stone ring, and then turned around and left slowly.

After Gong Tianwu returned to his room, thinking back on what happened today, he couldn't help but sigh that the Blood God Sect was full of dangers and scheming.

Why did Qi Liansheng use Deng Tong's blood essence to upgrade his blood surge power into blood wheel power?

It was because Deng Tong had a lot of contact with me and he even saved people in the torture hall himself. It was obvious that I would become close to him in the future.

Once he grows up rapidly in the future, if he joins forces with Deng Tong, Qi Liansheng will be at risk of being challenged!
So in order to prevent any trouble before it happens, Qi Liansheng resorted to such a rough move first, depleting Deng Tong's cultivation to help himself and destroying their relationship in advance.

Masters and disciples have to scheme and scheme like this, no wonder the Blood God Sect disciples never lose in single combat, but rarely win in group combat.
***
The night passed quickly.
Gong Tianwu got up early in the morning and quickly came to the foot of Zhongchong Peak to wait.

After a while, Canbo slowly walked down from the peak and handed Gong Tianwu an incomplete heart formula:

"Your current Blood Surge Energy has been successfully upgraded to Blood Wheel Energy. The previous Heart Technique you cultivated is no longer useful. You need to switch to this Heart Technique. However, this Heart Technique is only enough for you to cultivate to the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. The subsequent Heart Techniques will require your merits to exchange."

Gong Tianwu bowed and accepted the order:

"Yes, I am grateful for your life-saving grace. Regardless of whether I have a resolution or not, I will do my best to serve you. I wish I could repay you with my life."

Canbo then said:
"It is not reasonable for us servants to eat for free in the mountains. We all need to take care of the corresponding trivial matters, and you are no exception."

"My Lord has ordered that you plant one acre of blood cabbage field first. You only need to pay two bottles of blood and flesh essence in the first three months, and four bottles in the future. Come with me."

"The essence of blood and flesh is extracted from the crops grown in the blood field. It is a specialty of our sect and has a strong effect of replenishing qi and blood. Long-term consumption can even prolong life."

"Not only that, after all the techniques of our sect are practiced to a high level, one needs to regularly inject blood and flesh essence into the body to repair and replenish the body. The deeper the practice, the greater the need. Otherwise, one will die of deficiency."

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu suddenly realized what was going on and followed Can Bo obediently.

This time we walked for a long time, more than an hour, before we arrived at a basin in the mountains, which was called the Blood Valley.

It can be seen that many strange operating magic arrays have been built on the mountains surrounding the basin, emitting strange black and red lights.

In the core of a small number of magic circles there were actually extremely ferocious and hideous monsters, struggling and howling constantly, but it was all in vain, as their blood, energy and vitality were continuously sucked away by the magic circle and then quickly channeled into the ground.

Take the magic circle next to Gong Tianwu for example. Trapped inside is a fat, two-headed, blood-red worm that is over twenty meters long. Standing upright, it is as huge and astonishing as a mountain.

Continue walking down the basin and you will reach the blood field of the entire battle hall.

The soil here is purple-red and looks similar to a swamp. It is quite soft and makes a "crunching" sound when you step on it.

If you stand there for a while, blood mixed with various unknown insects will emerge from the cracks, and the air will be filled with a strange sweet fragrance.

There were also a large number of one-eyed demon bats flying in the air, swooping down from time to time, apparently responsible for carefully monitoring the surroundings.

The blood field in the basin was divided into hundreds of large and small pieces in a haphazard manner. The pale white bone ridges were responsible for the division. From time to time, a ball of ghostly blue fire would burn on it, and then go out again after a few seconds.

You can see that there are quite a few people in the blood field, working hard, and it even seems dangerous.

Gong Tianwu saw with his own eyes that an unlucky guy seemed to be bitten by something. He let out a shrill scream and quickly ran to the side, covering his left hand.

Planted in the center of the blood field is a strange demon tree. The tree is not very tall, and its branches look like human arms, densely packed with dozens of them, but its fruit is similar to a human heart.

There was a layer of light white mist surrounding this thing. When Gong Tianwu looked at it, he felt extremely dangerous. It was obviously not a good idea to approach it rashly.

The blood field allocated to Gong Tianwu was obviously leftover material. It was located on a slope near the edge of the basin. The soil even had obvious signs of cracking. It was not like the good fields that would produce blood if squeezed.

You can see obvious dry stems and signs of felling in the fields, as well as a large number of roots that look like blood vessels and earthworms floating in the soil. The cross-section of the broken stems even has bone-like textures, which looks a bit creepy.

After Can Bo walked here, he took out a bamboo whistle from his bag and blew it gently, and then he saw a skinny and small one-eyed demon bat falling from the sky.
