Chapter 58: Sheng Ling Pill
Although his ears were full of boos from the Xiao family and some self-proclaimed monks, the young man's face was still calm, his eyes full of determination...
In this way, in the fiercely competitive Wanqiu Grand Tournament, Lu Ping'an was able to qualify for the semi-finals without a single blow.
"Patriarch, what should I do now?"
Seeing that Lu Pingan was about to leave the Dabi venue from the exit channel, Lu Tianwang was a little anxious, got up and asked for instructions.
"What do you say? Can you still catch him?" Lu Songyin frowned, gave Lu Tianwang a sharp look, and said in an unhappy tone, "Sit back and leave him alone."
Now Lu Pingan has obtained the qualification to advance to the finals of the Grand Tournament. With the order of the Princess, no one can touch him.
On the other hand, Lu Tianwang's recent performance is really abnormal to Lu Songyin. Considering the former's words and deeds just now, a bad guess was formed in his mind.
"You better not let me down."
Thinking of this, Lu Songyin tilted his head slightly, looking meaningfully at Lu Tianwang, who was sitting on pins and felt, and said inwardly.
At the same time, on the high-altitude sedan chair, the light yarn on the side of the sedan body was slightly blown by the wind.
No one noticed. Of course, based on the audience's level of cultivation, there was no way Zhou Dayue leapt from it.
For the avoidance of criticism, he followed the landing safely until the latter came to no one before showing up and taking him away.
"Boy, you should stay here before the test tomorrow. Don't worry, all of us live nearby."
Asked from Lu Ping'an the secret of his ability to use illusion, Zhou Dayue was satisfied, flew all the way through the air, and took him to the city lord's mansion, allowing the court guards stationed here to vacate a room for him.
"Thank you Senior Zhou, please go back and bring me to the princess."
Now that the enemies from all walks of life are watching, Lu Pingan will naturally not refuse such a good shelter. After thanking Zhou Dayue, who rushed back to the venue, he returned to the room to meditate, seizing the time to adopt aura and fill the air sea.
From escaping from Lu's house to the beginning of the Wanqiu Grand Competition, Lu Pingan has been hunting spirit beasts in Daxu Mountain in a nearly venting way.
With the help of the Devouring System, his hunting efficiency was extremely high, and he even captured a Gu fox with a low rank of the mysterious rank.
By refining the beast core and adopting the aura in it, Lu Ping'an raised his cultivation to the eighth peak of martial art.
In addition, he also spent a hundred blood points to unlock the system's "return blood bar" function. So far, all the additional functions of the secondary swallow system have been unlocked.
On the other hand, the system's "additional organ" function was finally completed the day before yesterday evening and can be used again.
After confirming to the system, Lu Ping'an was pleasantly surprised to learn that the blood of the green jade toad had given him a second additional organ called the "phantom glove".
The Phantom Gloves can enable the wearer to achieve long-term invisibility, and its practicability is a hundred times stronger than the ordinary invisibility scroll. It is with it that Lu Pingan successfully sneaked into the waiting passage.
And, not just the human body, as long as he swipes anything with his hands wearing the phantom gloves, it will have the effect of invisibility.
Of course, invisibility does not mean disappearance. The Phantom Gloves can only make objects unable to be captured with the naked eye. Once you encounter a higher state, but rely on vision, or have a cultivator with mind-eye magical powers, this trick is often useless. .
As for the illusion technique used by Lu Pingan in the primaries, it originated from the third additional organ given to him by the Gu Fox bloodline, the "Gu Charm Double Pupils."
Therefore, in a strict sense, this is not an illusion that he uses on his own strength.
Gu fox is a very rare and rare spirit beast, good at bewitching people's hearts. Although the fighting power is generally not high, it is very dangerous when encountered in the wild.
At that time, Lu Ping'an had also lost the power of nine cattle and two tigers, and after a lot of hardship, he successfully killed the adult Gu fox he encountered by chance and merged its blood.
After some experiments, Lu Pingan concluded that the enchanting double pupils produced after ingesting the blood of the Gu fox can not only interfere with the five senses of humans or animals by looking at each other, but also induce the thinking of humans or animals.
Although the actual effect of the Gu Charm double pupils is far from the strength of the illusion technique used by the Gu fox body, if used properly, it can also achieve unexpected winning effects.
Moreover, before the Yuan Wu realm, this ability did not have a superior replacement, and for the current Lu Pingan, it was quite useful.
"The system self-inspection was completed, the repair rate of the No. 1 bloodline bar was 26%, and the No. 2 to 4 bloodline bars were functioning normally.
System blood value: 178/200. "
Listening to the system's voice announcement, Lu Ping'an nodded gently.
The bloodline column No. 1 was repaired by a quarter within half a decade, which has greatly exceeded his psychological expectations.
However, during the Wanqiu Grand Competition, he basically could only fight with three bloodlines, which was really a pity.
"Um... I let me think..."
Lu Pingan scratched his head and muttered to himself, "The blood of the human race must be preserved. In the next game, I will replace the blood of the Gu Fox with the King Kong Ape. If they see it, it won't be good."
When Zhou Dayue asked about illusions just now, in order to conceal the existence of the Devouring System, he cautiously lied, saying that he had used the family secret technique to seal the statue of resentful spirit in the sea of knowledge.
Through Hu Ling's retelling before, Zhou Dayue had long understood the experience of her and Lu Ping's in that water curtain cave with the fierce battle statue of the resentful spirit.
Fortunately, after listening to Lu Ping’an’s words, the old man without a chest did not question the roots, nor did he use his spiritual sense to spy on the inner polygraph, and finally let him cope with it.
However, Lu Pingan knew in his heart that if he continued to use the Gu Mei double pupils, he might be spotted something wrong by Zhou Dayue next time. At that time, his lie might be detected.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime. Things like the Devouring System, which violates the common sense of cultivation, will cause a killing, and you must never reveal its existence to a second person.
"Master Lu, the mansion has prepared our meals, let me tell you."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Hearing the greetings of the guards outside the door, Lu Pingan finished meditating and got up and walked out.
However, he still doesn't know that in order to deal with himself, many forces have begun to unite...
As the sun sets, Chen Family Council Chamber.
Under the guidance of Chen Hao's confidants, a total of seven participants who were qualified to qualify for the rematch entered the dimly lit room, sat around the conference table, and waited quietly.
Today during the day, after Lu Ping'an's Phoenix Group A finished the competition, the next thirty-eight first trials did not explode much upset, and the final promotion was basically the children of various cultivator families in Wanqiu City.
As for the reference participants of the families and forces on the borders, their strength is obviously weaker and they have almost no competitiveness.
After the primary election, the City Lord's Mansion conducted the next round of draws on the forty candidates.
Among them, 24 were bye and went directly to the top 32. The remaining sixteen people need to play another round to determine the other eight places in the top 32.
Although it was nominally a fair lottery, everyone knew the actual result that the 16 participants who participated in the playoffs must belong to a family of relatively weak practitioners.
For example, the three families of Chen, Lu, and Ye, as well as the children of the Lin family, which is firmly ranked fourth in power, all entered the top thirty-two bye bye without exception.
Although Lu Pingan's situation was a little special, his surname was Lu after all, and he was finally placed among the twenty-four people bye.
The seriousness of the semifinals is different from that of the primaries. Tian Sheng, a small acting city lord, naturally did not dare to do any tricks. In fact, this arrangement was the instruction of the special mission.
After all, the larger the family, the more tribute to the court each year. It is necessary to obtain some privileges in the Big Bi. What's more, due to the influence of blood inheritance, the children of large families tend to have higher talents, in order to eliminate the inferior and save the superior. In principle, it should be arranged like this.
"Haha, everyone has been waiting for a long time."
"Hello, Master Chen."
"Brother Chen..."
With the sound of footsteps, Chen Hao, who was easily promoted today, walked out of the back hall, and the other seven participants who had been invited here all stood up to welcome him.
Their respective families are either attached to the Chen family or have a close cooperative relationship with the Chen family. Sometimes, the people of the Chen family are even better at speaking than the elders in their family.
Although very tired after participating in the primary election, they dare not come to Chen Hao's invitation.
However, one of the seven people who came here tonight is not among the above-mentioned ones. When he saw Chen Hao, he just nodded slightly.
"Oh? Brother Lin, what are you..."
Chen Hao walked to the seat of the table and sat down, looking at Lin Xiao, the genius of the Lin family who was sitting at the farthest end, he wanted to say something and stopped asking.
"That's it. Just now, when the housekeeper of your house found Huo Xian's brother, he was right next to him, and he followed him wherever he was happy. Isn't Young Master Chen not welcoming me?" Lin Xiao pointed to Huo Cheng, who was sitting next to him. Feng replied with a smile.
"No, no, Brother Lin was joking, and it was just right that you were here." Chen Hao waved his hand quickly, the smile in his eyes thickened.
He originally planned to invite Lin Xiao, but considering the influence of the Lin family, he finally gave up. He didn't know that Lin Xiao actually took the initiative to come to the door.
"Ahem, everyone has to prepare for tomorrow's rematch, so I won't talk nonsense and take it."
After a little courtesy with everyone, Chen Hao straightforwardly opened the door, and while clapping his hands, he handed over to the hall.
When the voice fell, several Fuzhong laymen carrying wooden trays walked out carefully, slowly came to the table, and each placed a pill bottle in front of the seven.
"There are three spirits ascending pills in the pill bottle in front of you. Keep them individually. Remember, don't spread them after you return." Chen Hao raised his mouth and looked at everyone meaningfully.
"This……"
As soon as the bottle was filled with the Spiritual Ascension Pill, everyone's complexion changed, and their expressions were complex, and there were both excitement, doubt and fear in their eyes.
Spirit-lifting pills can increase the amount of aura in the body in a short time. Although the effect varies from person to person, the strength of the person taking the medicine will be much higher than before the medicine. It is a kind of medicine that requires a lot of training resources to refine .
Right now Chen Hao took out twenty-one Spirit Ascension Pills and distributed them to everyone, which was really enough.
Of course, the use of medicine to improve skill is an evil way after all, and taking Shengling Pill naturally comes at a price.
Cultivators who take Shengling Pill will have strong side effects on Qihai Dantian, and the weak ones will decline in their cultivation base. If the dosage is too large, or the user's physical cultivation base is too low, it will cause irreversible damage.
Even if you don't die by that time, you will end up in a sea of anger and loss of cultivation ability.
Because of this, every family of cultivators has set the Spirit Ascension Pill as a forbidden medicine, which can only be used when performing important tasks or when it is alive or dead.
"Today's Fengzi Group A competition, surely everyone has seen it? The Lu Family's Lu Pingan is too sharp, he will be the strongest competitor for you and me in this competition." Chen Hao continued, " Although Taibi has rules, it does not prohibit taking..."
"Ha ha."
Before Chen Hao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xiao with a sneer, "Master Chen, everyone is not a fool. Since you want us to get rid of Lu Pingan for you, you can open the skylight and speak up."
