Chapter 067: Friendship of Life and Death
“This is probably the essence that the tree demon has accumulated over many years!”
Ni Kun said excitedly:
"Wood monsters have the strongest vitality. Once the remaining essence of them is completely dissipated, I'm afraid it will give birth to a lush forest in an instant. "
He first put the "Origin of the Wood Demon" into his mustard seed ring, and then searched among the burnt tree roots for a long time. After working hard for a long time, he finally found a small piece the size of his little finger.
"Qingxuan, good people will be rewarded! We killed the demons, isn't that a benefit?"
Ni Kun laughed and said:
"I think this thing is edible. It should have the effect of strengthening the body, increasing strength, and maintaining youthful appearance. If you're lucky, it might even extend your life! Well, to be on the safe side, I'll try a little bit first..."
He pinched off a tiny bit the size of a sesame seed with his fingernails, rolled his tongue around it, and licked it into his mouth to verify it for himself.
Shi Qingxuan was shocked and said, "How can you eat monster's things? Be careful, it may be poisonous!"
Ni Kun laughed:
"It's okay, I'm very strong and I won't die!"
It's not that he is not afraid of death because he can be resurrected.
It's just that the essence of a cultivator is extremely pure, and the tree demon is a non-toxic tree species, not the arrow poison tree that "kills instantly with one blow", and she has never used poison when performing her magic. Therefore, Ni Kun is very sure that the origin of her roots is most likely non-toxic.
It turned out that he was not wrong.
A cool breath spread across his tongue, leaving his lips and teeth fragrant, and his mouth and nose were filled with the refreshing and moving scent of plants.
Then the cool breath flowed through the throat like a clear spring, fell into the stomach, and quickly spread to the internal organs.
At this moment, Ni Kun felt that his internal organs were being washed and tempered by the cool breath, including his heart, liver, intestines, stomach, spleen, lungs, kidneys… all his internal organs felt slightly stronger under this wave of washing and tempering.
It's just that he swallowed too little, only the size of a sesame seed. Just as he felt a little bit of the coolness, the cool breath disappeared - most likely it was washed away by the mysterious key again.
This made it difficult for Ni Kun to determine whether the feeling of his internal organs being cleansed and tempered was real.
Then he called up his personal panel, glanced at the life span value, and found that the remaining days of life had not changed.
As for whether the seconds and minutes have changed, Ni Kun is not sure - the seconds and minutes are changing all the time. Unless he can count the seconds accurately while doing things, it is impossible for him to remember them accurately.
"Are you okay?" Seeing Ni Kun frowning and in a daze, Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but ask with concern.
"It's okay." Ni Kun shook his head, pondered for a while, and said:
"The specific effects of this source are still unclear, but it is certain that it should be very beneficial."
As he said this, he took out two copies of the origin, one large and one small, and handed the thumb-sized one to Shi Qingxuan:
"Today, Qingxuan, you were the main force in slaying the demon. Not only did you use up all the thousand sword energies stored in the sword box, but you also used up the only Heavenly Thunder Jade Talisman. The Golden Buddha also had to be taken to the temple for re-enshrining. You paid so much, and this big share should belong to you."
If it weren't for Shi Qingxuan, Ni Kun would have to use his ultimate skill to block the tree monster's "Spiritual Evil Display of Power" move that consumed his essence.
If he wants to kill the tree monster, he needs to use another "Great Dragon", and he doesn't know how many dozen days of his life he will have to burn before he can destroy the tree monster.
As a result, he has not spent any money on life now, and Shi Qingxuan is responsible for all the tank and DPS tasks. He can get benefits by just playing as an assistant, so naturally he has to give Shi Qingxuan the biggest share.
However, Shi Qingxuan shook her head repeatedly: "I don't want it!"
Ni Kun smiled and said, "Qingxuan, you don't have to be polite..."
Shi Qingxuan pouted: "I'm not being polite and modest to you. I want the smaller one. As for me, I don't want either one."
Ni Kunqi asked: "Why is this?"
Shi Qingxuan said, "I'm not as bold as you, who dares to eat anything found on a demon. It's okay to eat a little, but will there be any trouble if I eat more? It's okay at the moment, but will there be any problem after a few days? These are all uncertain. So, no matter how delicious this thing is, I don't want to touch it."
Ni Kun laughed dumbly: "Qingxuan, you are cautious."
Seeing that she really didn't want to touch the tree demon's origin, Ni Kun thought for a moment, took out a handful of blood bodhi from his mustard seed ring and handed it to her:
"I can't let you get nothing. Since you don't want the tree demon origin, I will use these blood bodhisattvas as compensation. Yes, blood bodhisattvas are qilin fruits."
Shi Qingxuan was surprised and asked, "Qilin fruit? Is it the exotic fruit produced in the Qilin Cave near the Leshan Giant Buddha?"
The rumors about Qilin Cave, Fire Qilin and Qilin Fruit had spread throughout Shu and even the world in the past two months.
Outside of Shu, not many people believed it to be an exaggeration and a false rumor, but most people in Shu believed it without a doubt.
If the horror of the Fire Qilin had not been exaggerated by the survivors, and the Sichuan Gang, the Ba League, and even the powerful Buddhist sect had not suffered heavy losses in the Qilin Cave, and even the guardian of the mountain gate, Master Zhenyan, had not died in the Qilin Cave, countless gangsters would have ventured into the Qilin Cave, looking for the legendary Qilin Fruit that could cure serious injuries and increase one's strength.
"So many?" Shi Qingxuan took the dark red fruit with a magma-like glow inside and a slightly hot touch, counted them, and said in surprise:
"Eighteen? I heard that one Qilin fruit can bring a dying person back to life, and can heal even the most serious injuries in a short period of time. If you are not injured, you can meditate and refine it after taking it, and your power will be greatly improved...
"Now in Chengdu, the price of a Kirin fruit has reached a sky-high price of 10,000 taels of gold, but there is still no demand, and no one is selling it.
“All those who came back alive from the Qilin Cave kept it a secret. Most of them said they didn’t get the Qilin Fruit because they were afraid of being targeted by bad guys.
"You are willing to give me eighteen of these precious spiritual objects at once?"
What is this?
If you had just come out of Lingyun Cave, I wouldn't have blinked an eye if I gave you thirty or forty of them at once.
Unfortunately, I have consumed a lot of energy in my practice in the past two months. Now that I have given you eighteen, I don’t have many left. I won’t dare to take them as hard as before. I have to save them for healing my wounds and saving my life.
"Eighteen blood bodhisattvas are not too many."
Ni Kun weighed the two tree demon origins in his hand and smiled generously:
"We fought side by side and joined forces to slay the monster. It was a friendship of life and death. Besides, the tree monster origin that you were supposed to get might be more precious than the eighteen blood bodhisattvas."
He has already been "reborn" once with the Blood Bodhi. Even if he takes the Blood Bodhi again, although his spiritual power is still there, he will not be reborn again.
The origin of this tree demon is not only suspected to have the effect of strengthening the internal organs, but it may also be able to give him another "rebirth". To him, it is more precious than the blood bodhi.
"Fuck your promise of friendship!"
Shi Qingxuan said coquettishly, no longer being polite , put the blood bodhi into her small purse, and said with a smile:
"Since you are so generous to me, I won't be stingy with you. Don't you want to see my true face? Then look carefully! Don't blink!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped his nose, taking off the strange fake nose, revealing his true face.
It's like adding the finishing touch to a painting, or like wiping away the dust on nature's creation.
Without her fake nose, Shi Qingxuan looked like a celestial being banished from heaven. She was flawless, graceful, elegant, and beautiful beyond compare.
In terms of appearance, temperament, and spirituality, she is in no way inferior to Kankan and Shi Feixuan.
Seeing Ni Kun staring at her intently, Shi Qingxuan wrinkled her pretty nose, curved her eyebrows, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and two cute dimples appeared on her cheeks. She said sweetly, "Does it look good?"
Ni Kun nodded seriously:
"It's beautiful. Now I'm actually a little tempted."
Shi Qingxuan put her hands on her chest, took a step back, and acted frightened:
"I'm timid, please don't scare me."
Ni Kun laughed:
"Don't be afraid, little girl. I'm not a good person..."
Shi Qingxuan⊙○⊙.
Ni Kun⌒～⌒.
The two of them stared at each other for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.
After laughing heartily for a while, Ni Kun said, "The tree demon has been eliminated. Should we leave now?"
Shi Qingxuan nodded: "Well, it's time to go."
"Qingxuan, where are you going? I'll take you there."
"I have a place to stay in Chengdu. Let's go back to the city first."
"Okay then, I'll take you back to the city."
"You also live in Chengdu?"
"No, I live in a mountain villa about ten miles south of the city. Well, it seems that my residence is closer than Chengdu City? Otherwise, Qingxuan, you can stay at my place for a night and then go back to the city tomorrow?"
"How can you invite a girl to your house when you first meet her?"
"Hmm? Aren't we friends for life and death?"
"screw you!"
As they chatted and laughed, the two of them bathed in the sparse starlight, passed through forests and crossed mountains, and flew towards the direction of Chengdu city.
