Tang Zheng descended another ten meters. The fog in front of him was getting thicker and thicker. He could only see three meters in front of him. Suddenly, a fishy smell assaulted his nose. Tian Chanzi shouted to be careful. Tang Zheng hurriedly dodged to the side, only to see a red shadow brushing past him.
Snake!
He saw it clearly. This was a snake half a meter long. Its whole body was red, as if it was dyed in blood.
"Crimson Snake." Tian Chanzi exclaimed, "It has already gained intelligence and is already a monster. You must be careful, its venom is fatal. As long as you are bitten by it, you will definitely die. Also, this Crimson Snake knows illusions. Don't treat anything you see as real. "
"Illusions." This was the first time Tang Zheng heard of this technique.
"Little brat, it seems that I was wrong this time. The Crimson Snake and the Heaven Fragrant Flower are companions. Places with Crimson Snake usually have Heaven Fragrant Flower. This place with thin Spirit Qi actually gave birth to the Heaven Fragrant Flower. How strange."
Tang Zheng was overjoyed, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am sure, but you must first pass through this Crimson Snake."
Tang Zheng stared at the Crimson Snake like a tiger watching its prey. It also stared at Tang Zheng, continuously spitting out its scarlet tongue. Its body was bent like a bow. Sou, the Crimson Snake shot up, straight towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng readied himself for action, 4, and displayed the Heaven Gathering Hand. Suddenly, he realized that there was no Crimson Snake in front of him. Instead, a beauty was pouncing towards him. She first looked like Ye Dingdang, then turned into Fang Shishi, and finally, she turned into Liu Qingmei.
"Little brat, this is an illusion. Don't be fooled." Tian Chanzi's voice was as loud as a bell. All of a sudden, Tang Zheng was pulled back from the illusion. He hurriedly circulated his True Qi to keep his mind clear. The illusion disappeared, revealing the true body of the Scarlet Chain Snake. Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the Scarlet Chain Snake's seven inches. The Scarlet Chain Snake struggled, but it was unable to escape from Tang Zheng's palm.
The Crimson Drill Snake's strongest point was its illusions. However, Tang Zheng managed to block it. The Crimson Drill Snake was caught off guard and was instantly captured.
"Quick, cut open its abdomen and take out its inner core. This is good for you." Tian Chanzi said impatiently.
Raising his hand, Tang Zheng used the dagger that he always carried with him to cut open the Scarlet Drill Snake's abdomen. A fingernail-sized blood red Neidan rolled out. He hurriedly caught it and threw away the Scarlet Drill Snake's corpse.
The Inner Core was sparkling and translucent, quietly resting in his palm, glowing.
"The Inner Core is the most important part of a monster. It is the center of its power. If you take it, it can increase your True Qi and raise your cultivation."
Tang Zheng was overjoyed. He hurriedly swallowed it. The Inner Core did not have any fishy smell. Instead, it had a light fragrance. He felt a hot flow of Qi explode from his stomach. Then, it flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians.
He hurriedly suppressed the joy in his heart. He continued to descend in search of the Heaven Fragrant Flower. Three meters away, a bright flower was fluttering in the wind. It was especially eye-catching.
"Heaven Fragrant Flower." Tang Zheng recognized it with a single glance.
"Little brat, your luck is not bad. This is the Heaven Fragrant Flower. Quickly pick it and place it in the box."
Tang Zheng opened the wooden box that he prepared in advance. He carefully picked the Heaven Fragrant Flower and placed it inside. The Heaven Fragrant Flower's shelf life was three months. If he picked it now, it would not affect the medicinal properties of the Heaven Fragrant Flower.
He once again searched around. There were no other strange flowers or plants. There were no more monsters. He was satisfied as he once again climbed back to the top of the mountain.
Boom!
His feet swayed and he almost fell off the cliff. The Qi in his body was in a mess. He felt a sense of crisis as if his body was about to explode.
"Little brat, the Inner Core's medicinal properties are taking effect. Quickly refine it. Otherwise, if your Qi continues to run amok, your body will explode and you will die."
Tang Zheng did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly closed his eyes and operated the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll. Bit by bit, he refined the Inner Core's medicinal properties. After an unknown amount of time, the violent medicinal properties were completely refined by him. His Qi once again calmed down.
The Qi in his nine main meridians had increased to two inches. He had broken through to the Second Grade Refining Qi. The circulation of his Qi had sped up.
A single Inner Core had increased his Qi by almost an inch. Wouldn't that mean that if he ate two more Inner Cores, he would be able to break through to the Third Grade Refining Qi?
"Little brat, stop daydreaming. How could there be so many Inner Cores? The Scarlet Drill Snake was too weak. If you met a strong monster, you would be lucky if you didn't get eaten." Tian Chanzi immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Tang Zheng let out a sigh of disappointment. This kind of opportunity could only be encountered and not sought after. Proper cultivation was the right path.
"You haven't absorbed any Pure Yin Qi for the past two days, yet your Qi suddenly increased. Did you notice anything strange?" Tian Chanzi asked.
Tang Zheng's heart moved. He hurriedly operated his Qi, causing the circulation of his Qi to increase. Moreover, there was a dry and hot feeling that seemed to be burning his body. His expression slightly changed as he heard Tian Chanzi say: "Did you feel it? I said before that the Nine Yang Saint Body is a very strong physique. However, when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. The stronger your Qi is, the more dangerous it will be for you if you don't have the Pure Yin Qi to balance it. "
Tang Zheng's back was drenched in cold sweat as he said: "I will go to school tomorrow and absorb the Pure Yin Qi to balance it out."
Tian Chanzi strangely laughed: "Heihei, little brat, if you chase after those girls, at least you won't have to worry about not having Pure Yin Qi for a short period of time. Moreover, once and for all, it will be much faster than you secretly absorbing Pure Yin Qi. Why don't you listen to my advice?"
Tang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ye Dingdang, Fang Shishi, and Liu Qingmei, which one of them wasn't the center of attention? They were proud daughters of the heavens. How could he chase after them just because he wanted to?
However, Tian Chanzi's words reminded him that if he chose one of them as his girlfriend, it would be a good idea. It would greatly help in alleviating the danger of the Nine Yang Saint Body.
"Let's first refine the Life Continuing Pill and save grandfather before thinking about these things." He shook his head and temporarily threw this charming thought to the back of his mind.
"Little brat, refining the pill will take one day. Therefore, you must reach the Third Grade Refining Qi within the next eleven days. Do you understand?" Tian Chanzi reminded him.
Tang Zheng's head sank. If he didn't have a Neidan or enough Pure Yin Qi to reach the Third Grade Refining Qi in eleven days, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens. However, he did not give up and said: "I will continue to work hard in my cultivation."
"Have you noticed that your cultivation speed has slowed down a bit these past few days?" Tian Chanzi asked.
Tang Zheng was silent. Apart from the first few days of rapid progress, his cultivation speed had now returned to normal. Of course, it was still faster than the average person.
"Tian Chanzi, is there really no other way?"
Tian Chanzi was silent for a long time before saying: "Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance then you will fall behind. Moreover, you must apply what you have learned in order to complement each other and increase your strength. The best way to do this is through actual combat.
Through actual combat you will gain more comprehension. This is also a way to increase your cultivation speed. In the past, the sects would organize disciples to go down the mountain and train. This is to increase their cultivation through actual combat. "
"Actual combat." Tang Zheng's eyes lit up.
"Right, this is indeed a shortcut, but you currently don't have the qualifications."
"I can find Ye Dingdang to spar. Her strength is higher than mine, so she should be able to help me break through."
"This is indeed a good method. Within the sects, there will be competitions between disciples to verify what they have learned. However, this is only under normal circumstances. You are currently in an extreme situation. If you want to break through in such a short period of time, it must be a test of life and death. Only a life and death battle can stimulate your greatest comprehension."
"A life and death battle? Don't tell me I have to find someone to risk my life. Even if I had this idea, I still wouldn't be able to find such a person. "Tang Zheng thought dejectedly.
Tian Chanzi had no choice but to persuade him, "There is always a way out. Let's see if there is any other way later."
Tang Zheng returned to the hospital. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he was stopped by the nurse at the nurse's station. She said that the hospitalization fee was almost used up. She asked him to pay the fee as soon as possible, or the medicine would be stopped.
"Spending money like running water." Tang Zheng frowned. His family's savings of 20,000 yuan were almost used up these days. If there was no money, his grandfather would have to be discharged. "No, I have to make money in addition to cultivation."
But when he thought of making money, he was in a daze. He used to follow his grandfather to pick up junk, but it was all accumulated bit by bit. There was no way to make enough money in a short period of time. He didn't have that much time and energy.
This night, he cultivated while thinking about how to make money. Until dawn, he still couldn't think of a way. Did he really have to borrow money from others? He didn't have any relatives in Ordinary Balance City. If he wanted to borrow money, he could only borrow from Liu Qingmei or Feng Yong. But unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to reach out to others.
After two days, he came to school again. When he appeared at the school gate, he attracted the attention of countless people. Many people laughed contemptuously. As if there was no one around, they said that it was better to find a prostitute than to rape. Some people said that he was poor and definitely didn't have the money to find a prostitute, so he went to rape. It was really shameful.
Tang Zheng pretended not to hear. He didn't want to lower himself to the level of these clowns. He walked quickly to the classroom, sat in the last row, and closed his eyes to rest.
"Tang Zheng, why are you here?" Ye Dingdang looked at him in surprise.
"I finished my business, so I came to class."
"How is your grandfather?"
"A little better." Tang Zheng nodded gratefully.
"That's good. Heaven helps the worthy."
Feng Yong also came over to warmly greet him and said: "Boss, you finally came. There is someone who has been extremely arrogant these past few days. Moreover, he has been talking nonsense. Let's see what he will do now."
"Fatty Feng, you're itching for a beating right? You're shouting and yelling again." Takashi Takashi walked in and shouted from afar. Suddenly, he saw Tang Zheng and his voice came to an abrupt stop. It was as if someone was strangling his neck. His face became extremely ugly.
Tang Zheng stood up and stared at Takashi Takashi and said: "Takashi Takashi, I heard that you've been very arrogant recently."
Takashi Takashi's face flushed red and said: "Tang Zheng, you're talking nonsense."
"Heng, is it me talking nonsense or is it you who is talking nonsense. Everyone is well aware that the wound on Feng Yong's forehead was caused by you. Immediately apologize to him or else you'll have to bear the consequences." Tang Zheng coldly said.
"Tang Zheng, this is a school. Don't mess around or else you won't be able to bear the consequences." Takashi Takashi said sternly.
Tang Zheng disdainfully snorted and strode toward Takashi Takashi.
