In just a moment, the whole room was piled up with insect corpses. Junior Leopard had to move his feet and began to think about how to deal with the aftermath.
How could he not think about it?
He had no choice but to think about it. Obviously, he had underestimated the effect of the Detoxicating Bead. He could see that the Detoxicating Bead was attracting all the poisonous insects around, absorbing their toxins, and then kicking them away. Moreover, it was not only attracting one or two, but thousands of them.
The more toxins it absorbed, the brighter the luster of the Detoxicating Bead became. Junior Leopard, who was shrouded in a green light, began to fall into a wonderful state.
It was as if the boundless toxins had awakened something strange in the Detoxicating Bead, and the awakened strange thing was having a strange connection with his Internal Qi.
"Spirituality, it's spirituality!"
Suddenly, Junior Leopard seemed to think of something. This strange thing was spirituality. If he hadn't used the Golden Goose Cup before, he wouldn't have felt it with the original spirituality of his Internal Qi. But now, after experiencing the spirituality brought to his body and Internal Qi by the Golden Goose Cup, he could be completely sure even in such a situation, although he didn't know the use of spirituality.
The strange thing he felt from the Detoxicating Bead was spirituality. Under the temptation of the Detoxicating Bead's spirituality, the spirituality in his Internal Qi also began to stir.
"It's just a damn green bead. Isn't it tired of seducing this and that all day long?" Junior Leopard cursed in his heart, but he couldn't stop the attraction between the two spiritualities.
Yes, he couldn't stop it.
After adjusting his breath just now, he had some understanding of spirituality. He discovered that spirituality was not uncontrollable, but to control it, one had to comprehend the Divine Will.
In other words, if one could comprehend the existence of divine thoughts, then one could control the spirituality of one's Internal Qi through divine thoughts.
Junior Leopard didn't lack divine thoughts. To be honest, at this time, Junior Leopard didn't lack anything but knowledge.
He didn't understand what was going on, but he knew what to do.
Both divine thoughts and spirituality were intangible things. When the two were mixed together, there would be strange changes. Junior Leopard's divine thoughts and the spirituality of his Internal Qi had been mixed together. What was different from others was that there was one more thing in the divine thoughts and spirituality that others didn't have: the spirituality of the Detoxicating Bead.
Therefore, Junior Leopard didn't use his divine thoughts rashly. He just carefully felt and observed until he confirmed one thing.
The spirituality of the Internal Qi had completely mixed with the spirituality of the Detoxicating Bead. They were entangled together like a pair of adulterers biting each other, and there was a tendency to merge with each other. As this happened, Junior Leopard's divine thoughts also slowly rolled in. A slightly familiar feeling followed. He had this feeling once before, when he was refining 49 Demon Devil Needles. It was the feeling of refining a magic weapon.
"Could it be that I'm refining a magic treasure? Is this Detoxicating Bead a celestial device? No, no, it's not a celestial device, but a magic weapon! "This was the doubt in his heart at this time.
Only he could think so much at this time. If Wang She knew that he was still thinking about this matter at this time, he would definitely slap the shit out of him out of jealousy.
The Detoxicating Bead was indeed a magic weapon, and an unusual one at that. It was a magic weapon with its own spirituality.
A celestial device was qualified to be called a magic weapon only when it had spirituality. For example, no matter how powerful Demon Devil Needles were, they were only celestial devices at most.
The method of refining a celestial device was very simple. One only needed to drop essence and blood on the magic weapon, and then use divine thoughts according to the law. After a period of practice, one would be able to master it.
But the magic weapon was different because it had spirituality. If one wanted to refine and drive a magic weapon, one had to add one more step before the refining of divine thoughts, which was the integration of spirituality.
Only by fusing one's own spirituality with the Magic Treasure's spirituality, fusing them into one, and then using one's Blood Essence as a guide would one be able to successfully refine it. If one was unable to comprehend the existence of spirituality, then even if the strongest Magic Treasure in the world was placed in front of one and told in detail about its usage and functions, one would still be unable to refine it, let alone activate it.
In this world, when one's cultivation reached a certain level, there were many people with the property of Internal Qi and many people who could condense Evil Qi into Gang. But there were very few people who could make their Internal Qi give birth to spirituality and perceive it. In this way, the Golden Goose Cup was particularly precious, especially for those experts whose cultivation had reached Level Eight or Nine but had not developed spirituality. This group of people all had a very high status in this world and occupied a huge amount of resources. Who didn't have a few good things, including magic weapons? However, as mentioned before, if one's Internal Qi did not have spirituality, no matter how high his cultivation was, he could only stare at the magic weapons. At most, he could only use them as a brick to smash people, which was a waste of God's gift.
Junior Leopard was now muddle-headed about all this, but he was lucky enough to integrate two kinds of spirituality. These two kinds of spirituality were invisible and intangible, but Junior Leopard's divine thoughts could clearly feel that countless invisible and intangible tentacles stretched out from his Internal Qi. Similarly, in the green light of the Detoxicating Bead, countless invisible and intangible tentacles stretched out, entangled with each other, and finally integrated completely.
"This is the last batch!" Seeing that the spiritual tentacles stretching out from the Detoxicating Bead had completely integrated into the spirituality of his Internal Qi, Junior Leopard had an idea. Without thinking, he waved his hand and cut his fingertip. A drop of blood was forced out and dripped into the Detoxicating Bead.
Almost at the moment when his blood dripped into the Detoxicating Bead, he felt a roar in his brain. His divine thoughts almost instantly integrated into the spirituality that had been integrated into one, and a feeling of integration appeared.
At this moment, the Blue Detoxicating Bead seemed to have become a part of his body. It was a wonderful feeling.
It was very wonderful. He could even feel that the Detoxicating Bead was breathing. Of course, it was mainly inhaling, not exhaling. He seemed to be able to hear the extremely pleasant hissing sound made by the Detoxicating Bead when it absorbed the toxins from the venomous insects around him. He seemed to be able to feel a kind of extreme pleasure. He even seemed to have turned into the Detoxicating Bead, crazily absorbing the toxins around him.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Unconsciously, Junior Leopard began to make a long breathing sound. As his breathing became louder and louder, the pulse of the Detoxicating Bead began to slow down. Finally, it actually maintained the same frequency as his breathing.
"What am I doing? Taking drugs?"
Junior Leopard suddenly quivered, as if he had felt something. He withdrew from the state of "taking drugs". However, although his thoughts had withdrawn, the Detoxicating Bead was still pulsing according to the frequency of his breathing.
It was not until this moment that he realized that he had unconsciously put down his hand that was holding the Detoxicating Bead. Now, the Detoxicating Bead was no longer in front of him, but suspended above his head. A green light curtain sprinkled down from the Detoxicating Bead, covering his body tightly. At this moment, the light curtain had completely turned into a verdant green, which was very beautiful. However, in Junior Leopard's eyes, this extremely beautiful green contained a danger that made his heart palpitate.
The whole room had become a sea of insects. Two windows and one door had long been broken open. The insects that originally filled the air of the whole city had rushed in as if they had taken stimulants, filling the surrounding space tightly. If his body had not been covered by the green light curtain, Junior Leopard believed that now, like other things in the room, he would have been drowned by the sea of insects.
However, despite the protection of the green light curtain, Junior Leopard still felt a burst of panic when he saw the poisonous insects all over the sky.
Suddenly, Junior Leopard's expression changed. He wiped his hand, took out the Smiling Mask from his bosom, and put it on his face because he felt that several spirits were rushing towards him from Goldenrim Commandery. It was obvious that they were alarmed by the changes here.
In fact, everyone in Goldenrim Commandery was alarmed by the changes here.
It was true that poisonous insects were everywhere in Goldenrim Commandery, but the scope of the spread was too wide and the poisonous insects were small. Therefore, people usually couldn't notice it at all and just thought it was ordinary dust. But now, attracted by the Detoxicating Bead, the poisonous insects in Goldenrim Commandery were all gathering in the inn where Junior Leopard was. They had accumulated into a huge dark cloud, lying across the sky of the inn and covering the entire inn tightly. From the dark cloud, there were three streams of insects rushing towards Junior Leopard's house. The three streams of insects were like three small tornadoes, making a rustling sound.
The guests in the inn who were alarmed were stunned, but no one dared to make a sound. They were afraid that if they made a sound, the strange dark cloud above the inn would swallow them up. After seeing this situation, most people hurriedly packed up their luggage and ran out of the inn.
Seven or eight figures appeared from all over Goldenrim Commandery and ran towards the inn. The largest number of figures was, of course, the Governor Mansion of South Yuezhou State. A total of four figures rushed to the inn.
"Master, what's going on? Why did the Divine Insects lose control?"
Among the four people who were rushing, two of them were Level Six experts. These two Level Six experts wore the same style of blue clothes with gold trim. They sandwiched the other two people in the middle. Among the two people in the middle, one was a grey-robed old man who looked more than 70 years old. His face was extremely gray, his gray eyes were extremely turbid, and his whole body was full of a rotten spirit.
Beside the old man was the person who had spoken just now. It was a young man who looked to be around 23 or 24 years old. He was quite handsome, but his handsome face was filled with anxiety and fear. His eyes flashed with a vicious light from time to time.
"The Divine Insects were attracted by a powerful force and threw themselves into it. If I guessed correctly, the source of this force should be the legendary Poison-absorbing Green Bead!"
The old guy's voice, like his face, also revealed a strong sense of decay, as if he would fall at any time. But when he mentioned the words "Poison-absorbing Green Bead", his turbid eyes flashed with greed that was completely not commensurate with his age.
"Poison-absorbing Green Bead?"
Hearing these words, the young man's eyes revealed a greedier look than his master's, with naked greed and a desire to possess.
"Really? Master, didn't you say …! "
"This thing hasn't appeared for thousands of years. I did say that!" The old man interrupted him, "but I didn't say that it wouldn't appear again!"
"Yes!" The young man lowered his head and said no more.
All of a sudden, the old man seemed to have sensed something. He raised his head slightly, and a faint gray light flashed on his hairless head. Then, a faint gray fog appeared beside him, enveloping the young man and the two Level Six experts.
Gang Qi, this was Gang Qi, which only a Level Seven expert could possess.
The old man, who seemed to have more than half of his body buried in the soil and only his head left, turned out to be an expert!
The gray Gang Qi surged, and the four people who were jumping on the roof under their feet were suddenly pulled up and flew into the air. The old man actually carried the four people with his Gang Qi, and with a shrill whistling sound, he shot toward the inn at a speed more than ten times faster than before.
The whistling sound of flying in the air spread far and wide, and in a moment, it spread all over Goldenrim Commandery.
After hearing the whistling sound, the figures that appeared everywhere in Goldenrim Commandery all paused, looked in the direction of the inn from afar, sighed, and left with their heads down.
"Humph, a group of people who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The young man also noticed the other figures. He snorted coldly, and the gloomy look on his face became more serious.
"Young master, these people are all experts from various families in Goldenrim Commandery. This time I can scare them away, but in the future, it's up to you!"
"Master, don't worry. I don't care about them!" The young man said, and glanced at the two people beside him, "Besides, with the two of them here, they dare not be presumptuous in this Goldenrim Commandery!"
The old man did not speak again, but just urged his Gang Qi and flew to Flyingcrane Restaurant.
Flyingcrane Restaurant had been completely surrounded by poisonous insects. The old man took the three people to a place about 100 feet away from the inn and stopped. He looked a little hesitant.
"Master, let's go in. I'd like to see who dares to ruin my business in Goldenrim Commandery!" The young man looked at the thick "dark clouds" over the inn and said fiercely.
"Young master, don't act rashly. If the other party really has the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, you will suffer if you rush in rashly!" The old man stared at the sky above the inn and the flow of insects extending down from the insect cloud.
"If it's really the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, Master, you see …!"
"Young master, don't worry. Even if it's really the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, with my cultivation, it's not very useful!" The old man took a deep look at the young man, "The problem now is how we can get in!"
"That's easy. Master, let's rush in directly. With your cultivation and the three of us, even if he has the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, it's useless!"
Hearing the old man's words, the young man suddenly became excited. His eyes flashed with a very greedy light, as if he was going to rush in immediately and snatch the Detoxicating Bead from Junior Leopard.
"This matter can't be rushed, can't be rushed!" The old man shook his head and said, "If it's really the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, the person who can drive it must have a cultivation above Level Six, or even higher. In addition, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead is in his hands. If we rush in rashly like this, we will only suffer!"
"Then what should we do?!" The young man said anxiously.
"Wait!"
"Wait? How long do we have to wait? Do we have to watch him kill all these insects …!"
"Under the stimulation of the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, the toxicity of the sacred insects has been completely stimulated. Look around the insect cloud!" The old man pointed to the surroundings of the insect cloud. The three of them looked at it with rapt attention. Then they found that the surroundings of the insect cloud were faintly emitting a faint purple light. The purple light was very faint. If they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice it at all.
"This is the result of the toxicity of the sacred insects has been completely stimulated. With so many sacred insects gathered together, the toxicity produced can even poison an old monster in the Mysterious Realm to death, let alone you and me. If we go in now, we'll just be courting death!"
"If we wait until he completely refines the toxicity of the sacred insects …!"
"He can't do it!" The old man interrupted him and said, "As long as the insect cloud disappears, all the toxicity will be absorbed by the Poison-absorbing Green Bead. After absorbing the toxicity, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead needs time to digest and integrate the toxicity. This will take a long time. During this time, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead can't be used. That's our chance!"
After hearing the old man's words, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still looked at the Flyingcrane Restaurant unwillingly and suddenly asked, "Who on earth is inside? Have you found out?"
"Young Master, this morning, the guards at the city gate reported that a man in black with strange clothes entered the city and lived in the Flyingcrane Restaurant. The Garrison Mansion just thought that he was a martial arts practitioner passing by, so they just sent people to monitor the entrance of the Flyingcrane Restaurant. They didn't take any other measures. I didn't expect that this person would make such a big trouble!"
"Damn it, are all the people in the Garrison Mansion eating sh * t?" the young man said bitterly.
"You can't blame the Garrison Mansion. There are so many people coming and going every day. No one can guarantee that no martial arts practitioners will come to Yuezhou. They have been very careful. If they see any suspicious people, they will monitor them. By the way, do you know what the man in black looks like?"
"It's said that he is a middle-aged man. His figure …!"
The Level Six expert standing next to the young master began to describe Junior Leopard's physical features in great detail. His description was very similar to Junior Leopard's appearance.
As he listened, the Childe's expression suddenly became gloomy. "Is he wearing a creepy smiley mask?"
The Level Six expert was stunned at first, and then his expression also changed. "No, he didn't wear a mask. If he wore a mask to enter the city, the guards wouldn't be able to see his age. Besides, they wouldn't only send two people to monitor the Flyingcrane Restaurant!"
"Wearing a mask? Why, do you know this person? "The old man heard their question and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I don't know him, but his attire reminds us of a person!" The young man's expression turned ugly.
"It seems that this person is very famous. Who is he? "
"Master has been in closed-door training these years, so he doesn't know this person. This person has only shown his face once in Jianghu, but he has done a big thing!" The young master said seriously, "His name is Xiao. A year ago, Wang She, one of the three Chiefs of Tian Long Taoism, kidnapped a bride in Yunzhou's Qinlingjun City. He was one of the participants. According to those who were present at that time, Xiao was at most a Level Six expert. However, he challenged Gao Yulou, the new Level Seven expert of Golden Lights Cave, and lured him away. Since then, Gao Yulou hasn't shown up again. According to the internal news from Mingyi School and Golden Lights Cave, Gao Yulou's body has been destroyed, and Xiao has disappeared at the same time. It is estimated that he and Gao Yulou have both been injured. I didn't expect that he would show up again in just one year. "
If Junior Leopard were beside them, he would be very surprised. He had only shown his face once in Jianghu, but he was already remembered.
He didn't know that although Xiao had only shown his face once, he had defeated a Level Seven expert. No matter when it was, it would be a sensational event in Jianghu. It was just that this event was overshadowed by Wang She's promotion to Level Nine and the kidnapping of the bride, so ordinary people in Jianghu didn't pay much attention to it.
However, the fact that people in Jianghu didn't pay attention to it didn't mean that others didn't care. A guy who could kill a Level Seven expert without leaving any bones behind was, of course, the target of attention from all the big influences. Xiao's name had long been listed in the list of attention from well-known families and barons in the martial arts world. It was just that he didn't know. What he didn't know was that Zhou Bao was also listed in this list!
This young man came from the Governor Mansion of Yuezhou. He was Ruan Xiuwen, the eldest son of the current Governor of Yuezhou, Ruan Ming. The Ruan Family was not only the Governor of Yuezhou. For thousands of years, before the Jin or even earlier dynasties were established, the Ruan Family was the biggest headman in Yuezhou. Because of this, since Yuezhou had been incorporated into the territory of the Jin Dynasty, the position of the Governor of Yuezhou had always been held by the Ruan Family. It could be said that the Ruan Family was the local tyrant of Yuezhou. In Yuezhou, their power was monstrous and their prestige was even greater than that of Yunzhou's Ma Tianchang. It could be said that the Ruan Family was also a very powerful well-known family in the Jin Dynasty. Such a well-known family needed to pay attention not only to the matters in the imperial court, but also to the matters in Jianghu.
What kind of experts and strong people appeared in Jianghu, what their background was, what their identity was, what they were good at, how good their martial arts were, who they could provoke and who they should not touch. These were all within the scope of their intelligence and were used as a reference for the descendants of the family. For a strange person like Xiao, who had only appeared once but had killed a Level Seven expert, they naturally knew about him. Not only did they know, but they also gave detailed information about Xiao's characteristics that they could collect to the descendants of the family, so that they could be careful. When they traveled in Jianghu in the future, if they met him, they must absolutely not provoke him.
As the heir of the Ruan Family and the most powerful contender for the position of Yuezhou Governor in the future, there was no reason for Ruan Xiuwen not to know about Xiao's existence.
