Chapter 76: Little Medicine Boy's Brain Hole
At this time, he could indeed graduate. The five clones pushed his cultivation to the Spirit Gathering Peak during the time he was in seclusion.
Long Xuan didn't know when he broke through. He broke through without any feeling. One day when he woke up, he found that he had inexplicably become a Spirit Gathering Peak Gu cultivator, which really gave him a fright.
It could only be said that the feeling of "opening a cheat" was really too cool, always opening a cheat, always cool.
When he was in the late stage of Spirit Gathering, he fought across levels at will. Now that he was at the peak of Spirit Gathering, he had no opponents in the same realm.
Long Xuan's courage grew a lot because of this, feeling that he had the strength to go out to find opportunities. One day he could go out to wander, and there was that Empress Ancient Tomb that hadn't been dug yet. One day he would dig it by the way. At this time, he was completely inflated.
Today was double happiness. Long Xuan was in a great mood and decided to make some honey-glazed barbecue to celebrate.
So he walked to the beehive, patted the beehive, and shouted lightly: "Taxes! Taxes!"
Long Xuan showed a smile. This feeling of being a landlord was really good.
Things were just as he expected. Bee Royal Jelly had unimaginable benefits for spirit bees. Without accident, all the spirit bees that had eaten Bee Royal Jelly evolved and became another stronger species, which was the powerful bee species named "Ice Bee" by Long Xuan.
At this time, the number of Ice Bees had developed to a scale of more than 100, and their volume had also become larger by a circle. Their whole bodies were ice-blue, and their stingers had all been replaced, replaced by ice needles that could be fired infinitely, and their combat power soared.
The original beehive could no longer accommodate their volume, and they were building a new type of beehive on another cherry blossom tree. This beehive was also more huge, enough to accommodate Bing Bing to enter and exit.
At the same time, the honey made by this bee species was also more delicious, the quality of spiritual power was also higher, and it was more nourishing.
However, the body size of this bee species was ultimately two circles smaller than Bing Bing. Although they belonged to the same species, they had evolved after drinking Bing Bing's Bee Royal Jelly, so even if they evolved into the same species, there must be bloodline suppression.
Now Bing Bing was the well-deserved queen in the bee colony, below Long Xuan, above ten thousand bees.
It was worth mentioning that Bing Bing was still a virgin. He finally researched clearly that this bee species didn't need to rely on the bee king to reproduce, and they could reproduce through free mating between each other.
After all, it was a bee species from another world, and it was normal for it to be different from the previous life. The common sense of the previous life couldn't be equated with the other world.
The types of insects in this world were far more than in the previous life. All kinds of insects were strange, and there were too many magical things that could break your cognition and break your inherent common sense.
Many insects here didn't exist in the previous life, such as virtual insects that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, dark insects in energy form, hidden insects without form...
For an entomologist, this was a treasure, his paradise. There were too many things that interested him, and too many things that broke his worldview.
A bee species that relied on male and female reproduction wouldn't make him feel surprised.
However, wouldn't Bing Bing's future be miserable? Wouldn't it become an "old leftover girl" in the future?
After all, its body size was much larger than its peers. Who would want to marry a giant home? However, besides eating, Bing Bing only knew how to eat, and might not be interested in this kind of thing.
After collecting taxes, Long Xuan made a honey-glazed barbecue feast and had a beautiful meal.
He still had quite a lot of beast king meat in his hand, and with the Cold Ice Divine Flame for refrigeration, he didn't have to worry about it spoiling at all.
Afterward, just when Long Xuan was preparing to think about the next step, Li Laodao visited, interrupting his thoughts.
His Cold Ice Great Array was not that awesome, and it couldn't be completely invisible like Di Xin's medicine garden, and no one found it even if it was placed in the middle of the Great Grassland.
He had such a big medicine garden not far from the market, and many people could find it. It couldn't be hidden at all, and Long Xuan didn't think about hiding it.
Wasn't it a normal thing for a Spirit Gathering Peak Gu cultivator to have his own medicine garden? What was there to hide? Even Long Lao knew about his medicine garden and didn't say anything.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Li Laodao could find him.
After Long Xuan put away the communication talisman, he walked out of the Cold Ice Great Array and saw Li Laodao standing there stroking his beard at a glance.
"You didn't die after such a big beast tide. Your life is really big enough." Long Xuan looked at him and said.
"Hehe! With the little friend's Cockroach Gu, how could this old man die so easily."
"Last time you saved this old man's life twice, and I haven't thanked you. This time I accidentally found a heaven-sent opportunity, so I specially came to bring the little friend to repay the life-saving grace."
Thinking of this matter, Li Laodao was excited, and his face was always an excited smile. Just from the expression, it would really make people think that he had really encountered something good.
Long Xuan also had curiosity in his heart and asked tentatively: "What kind of opportunity is it that can make you laugh like this? You wouldn't have encountered another ancient tomb, would you?"
"How could that be?" Li Laodao hurriedly shook his head and said: "How could an ancient tomb be encountered just by saying so? This time I accidentally discovered the sitting-in-meditation cave abode of a senior."
"You also know that the style of 'cherishing one's own broom' is very heavy in this world, and very few people are willing to take apprentices. When their lifespan is up, they die in the cave abode, and no one collects their corpses. Their treasures will naturally remain in the cave abode completely."
"That senior in the cave abode should have been at the end of his lifespan and had to close the life-and-death gate to break through, and finally failed to break through and sat in the cave abode."
"Compared to underground ancient tombs, the cave abodes of scattered cultivators are much, much safer. The danger is nothing more than various arrays."
"This time I found Di Xin to help. She is a famous array guest far and near. What kind of array can stump her?"
"So you can rest assured on this trip. We are 100% safe and absolutely reliable!" Li Laodao patted his chest and guaranteed.
"100% safe?"
"Reliable?"
Long Xuan raised his eyebrows. How could this sentence sound so familiar, as if he had heard it more than once.
How many times had this Li Laodao said this sentence to him?
Long Xuan's face was strange. He looked at him with a gaze full of deep meaning and said faintly: "If I remember correctly, you said this sentence to me last time, and you also said it to me the time before last."
"Uh!" Li Laodao's face turned red, showing embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "Last time was an accident! The time before last was also an accident!"
"Rest assured! This time it is absolutely impossible for any accident to happen again. If an accident happens again, I will bring my head to see you!" Li Laodao said confidently.
Only he knew how terrifying Di Xin's array attainments were. It could be completely said that there was no array in this region that she couldn't break.
No matter how dangerous the cave-protecting array of that cave abode was, don't even think about causing her any danger.
The danger could only come from the inside, but this time the treasure hunting trip he found were all friends whose character he completely trusted. He believed in his own eye for people, and it was absolutely impossible for infighting to occur.
Therefore, he was very confident in this trip. It was absolutely impossible for any danger to occur. It was 100% safe.
"Is there an array monster like Di Xin participating? That's much more reliable."
Long Xuan frowned and thought for a moment. Not only was Li Laodao convinced of her array, but he also highly recognized Di Xin's array attainments. If she came to break the array, he wouldn't dare to say about ancient tombs, but going to a scattered cultivator's cave abode was definitely no problem.
What he was worried about at this time was nothing more than Li Laodao's luck. After the first two things, he felt that this Li Laodao was plagued by bad luck, and nothing good would happen every time he went out.
Theoretically, things that were 100% safe were 100% unsafe if he was there, and it was very likely that some unexpected accidents would occur.
He was considering at this time whether to send a clone or go on a personal expedition himself.
The advantage of sending a clone was that the main body was 100% safe, but the disadvantage was not without it, that is, the clone was much, much weaker than the main body. The clone didn't have any outer Gu.
Some dangers the main body could carry through, but the clone would die, so he might lose a clone.
Now he was already at the Spirit Gathering Peak realm, and the clones couldn't be lost easily.
The most critical thing was that the clone didn't have a "golden finger." The clone couldn't see the progress, so it might miss treasures, and it was very likely to miss heavy treasures that looked plain on the outside.
After thinking about it, Long Xuan finally decided to take a compromise, which was for the clone and the main body to go together.
When arriving at the door of the cave abode, he would perform a "shit escape" and let the clone replace him to go in. After everyone came out of the cave abode, he, the main body, would go in again to sweep it with his golden finger.
In case the clone really had any accidents inside, he could take the other four clones in to rescue in time. In this way, the safety rate of the clone would also be greatly improved.
This plan was simply perfect, killing many birds with one stone.
Long Xuan's eyes brightened, and he finally made up his mind: "Alright! Then I will believe you one more time this time! I hope no more accidents will happen."
"Rest assured, this time it is absolutely 100% safe. I was unlucky the first few times. Could I still be unlucky all the time? It's time for me to turn my luck!"
"Meet at the old place tomorrow! We won't leave until we see each other!"
Li Laodao patted Long Xuan's shoulder heavily and finally turned and left.
After Li Laodao left, Long Xuan also immediately went back to pack his things and prepare for the trip. Bring what should be brought, and leave everything that shouldn't be brought at home.
It's best to prepare a few more storage bags, so as not to have no place to put them when there are too many treasures.
His home had abundant materials, and one day of preparation time was completely enough for him.
Finally, he also packed a few bags of honey-glazed barbecue and put them in the storage bag, preparing to heat them up and eat them on the road.
Sleeping in the open in the wild, eating and sleeping poorly, he could bring more things to eat. He didn't want to gnaw on steamed buns for a month on the road.
One day later, Long Xuan arrived at the same inn as agreed, still in the same second-floor private room, and pushed the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Long Xuan really saw many old acquaintances: Li Laodao, Di Xin, and Little Medicine Boy were all there.
Only a burly man with a kind face he didn't know, and it was his first time seeing him.
He subconsciously became vigilant toward him. He knew everyone else in the room, knew their roots and bottom, and could trust them.
Only this person he didn't understand at all, didn't know how his character was, and what his fighting style was. There were too many variables.
If someone in this group had a problem, it would probably be this person. Long Xuan had to be on guard against him.
Seeming to notice Long Xuan's gaze, Li Laodao introduced with a smile: "Rest assured, this person's character is completely trustworthy. His name is Li Dashan. Just call him Dashan. He is a famous 'Li Great Kind Person' in Li Family Village and often helps neighbors."
"Good deeds have good rewards. It was precisely because he often accumulated virtues and did good deeds that he accidentally saw the corpse of a Gu cultivator and embarked on the path of cultivation."
"Now he is also at the Spirit Gathering Peak, and the inheritance he obtained is not weak. He will definitely not hold us back."
Hearing this, although Long Xuan relaxed his vigilance on his face, his vigilance toward this person in his heart didn't decrease.
It wasn't that he doubted anything about this person, he just liked to doubt everything. He would guard against all strangers. Being careful was never a bad thing.
Since there were acquaintances in the room, he should say hello. Long Xuan ignored the Little Medicine Boy and waved to the big beauty in the room.
"Didn't expect Sister Xin to be here too. I think with Sister Xin's talent, she must be at the Spirit Refining Stage now." Long Xuan laughed.
Di Xin pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Don't tease me. My talent is the worst here. How could I have broken through to the Spirit Refining Stage so quickly."
"On the contrary, you, as a Ten Extremes Body, can actually cultivate so fast. You are so young and have already cultivated to the Spirit Gathering Peak."
"In my opinion, the person who breaks through to the Spirit Refining Stage first should also be you."
Long Xuan's expression froze. He didn't expect this woman to be able to see through his realm so easily. He wanted to hide a hand and play the pig to eat the tiger, but now his bottom was revealed. It was definitely impossible to hide it.
Hearing that he had already broken through to the Spirit Gathering Peak, the expressions of everyone in the room changed slightly.
Hearing that he was a Ten Extremes Body with a fast cultivation speed, Li Dashan's expression changed inexplicably, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Laodao reacted the most, his expression bitter, his heart full of bitterness. He was so old and only at the Spirit Gathering Peak, but now he was easily caught up by the younger generation. The one who caught up to him was actually the Ten Extremes Body recognized by the Gu world as having the slowest cultivation speed.
This was a big blow to him. His mood was as depressed as it could be. All his years had been lived on a dog.
Being "generaled" by Di Xin, Long Xuan's thoughts turned rapidly, considering whether he should also poke out the realm she was hiding.
The sentence he just said wasn't said casually. This Di Xin's progress was very wrong. It was definitely not the progress that a hundred-year-old mortal should have. If there were no accidents, she was very likely to have broken through to the Spirit Refining Stage.
What was excessive was that she actually played small tricks, hid her realm, and only showed the aura of the Spirit Gathering Peak in front of everyone, playing the pig to eat the tiger and acting cute.
In other words, she was the only Gu cultivator at the Spirit Refining Stage among this group of people and was the strongest existence in the team, having already broken the balance of the team.
Once she had any misconduct, it would be a very troublesome thing.
I think if Li Laodao knew that she was already a Spirit Refining Stage expert, he would never have invited her.
When the strength gap between the two sides was too large, it was definitely not a fair and equal transaction. The variables of cooperation between the two sides were too large, and it was full of dangers.
This woman was also a variable. At this time, Long Xuan also had to be vigilant toward her and guard against her.
Although he was very familiar with her, he still had to guard against her. What if she relied on her highest realm to do whatever she wanted?
In the face of interests, no one could be completely trusted.
However, after thinking about it, Long Xuan still chickened out, feeling that it was better not to reveal her bottom.
What if she got angry and visited his medicine garden?
What if she plucked his medicine garden clean? Then how would he live?
Don't doubt it. She completely had the strength to do so. She was best at breaking arrays and was a famous array guest far and near.
And he only knew a little bit about arrays for the time being. Although the Cold Ice Great Array was strong, he really didn't have the confidence to block this hacker's invasion.
It was also fortunate that Di Xin had the rule of not stealing from scattered cultivators; otherwise, his medicine garden, which was so eye-catching, might have been visited by this array guest long ago.
Most importantly, Long Xuan seriously suspected that this Di Xin was the "Daughter of Fortune." Whoever provoked her would be unlucky.
What was it to go against the heavens with a Ten Extremes Body? What was difficult was to go against the heavens with a mortal body.
And Di Xin was just this kind of ruthless person. She was a mortal body, had no Gu cultivator talent, and even her attribute was non-attribute.
How difficult it was to cultivate with a mortal body, no need to say, everyone could imagine. She could become a Gu cultivator, which was definitely a miracle. Cultivating with mortal talent was simply going against the heavens. I don't know how she did it.
She could become a Gu cultivator, which had already surprised Long Xuan very much. He didn't expect that her cultivation speed could be so fast. She cultivated to the Spirit Refining Stage at a young age. Heaven knew how she did it. It was simply puzzling and unbelievable.
Although Di Xin was a mortal, she was a heaven-sent genius, rare in ancient and modern times.
Long Xuan often thought about whether she was the protagonist of this world and he had traveled to a female-frequency world.
In short, this woman was cruel and must not be provoked.
"Should be just these people, right?" Long Xuan turned to look at Li Laodao and asked.
He hoped that there were only these people. The more people who came, the more people he had to guard against, and his heart was tired.
"Just these people. Better early than late. Let's set off now. If there's anything else to say, let's talk on the road."
Li Laodao pushed the door and walked out first. The other few old acquaintances nodded to each other and walked out together.
After leaving the market, several people gathered spiritual power on their legs and rushed on the road, actually starting to compare their speed and raising a heart of comparison.
Little Medicine Boy, who had an amazing brain hole, often practiced body refining in a self-mutilating way through the self-healing ability of the Cockroach Gu, so his physical strength far exceeded ordinary people and rushed to the front.
Li Dashan was second, and Li Laodao was third.
As for Long Xuan, he had been hanging at the very end, without any heart to compete for victory. If he used "Treading Stars" to fire at full power, who could catch up to him here? They wouldn't even be able to smell Long Xuan's fart.
But now it was better not to show this limelight. Low-key, low-key. Bullying a few scattered cultivators was meaningless. If he went forward at full speed, it would really be a bit bullying.
However, what Long Xuan never expected was that Di Xin, this great Spirit Refining Stage Gu cultivator, actually didn't rush to the front, but also hid her clumsiness and ran at the very end, and even fell half a body behind him, pretending to be slower.
Others were comparing who was faster, but these two were actually comparing who was the slowest, and even competed for the last place.
Long Xuan's face turned black. You, a great Spirit Refining Stage Gu cultivator, actually had the nerve to hang at the very end, playing the pig to eat the tiger there. Does she still want her face!
Wouldn't her conscience hurt?
Helpless, if he was any slower, he would lose the three people in front. He also had to accelerate and give the last place to her.
He had never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person.
Finally, after running wildly for half a day, the oldest Li Laodao couldn't hold on first, stopped his footsteps, put his hands on a tree trunk, and vomited crazily, vomiting everything he had eaten that day.
Everyone could only stop together and terminate this marathon competition.
"Are you okay!"
Li Dashan walked behind him and patted his back and asked.
Li Laodao shook his head and said with a lonely expression: "Nothing. People are old, and the lungs and stomach have problems. I can't compare to you young people anymore."
Li Laodao gave a bitter smile. This was the aging of physical functions. Even the Cockroach Gu couldn't save it. Lifespan was also one of the few forces that could kill the Cockroach Gu.
"If you have a Spirit-Replenishing Pill to break through now, will your lifespan be extended and the situation improve?" Long Xuan walked over at this time and asked.
He had Spirit-Replenishing Pills on him now. Looking at the friendship, as long as what he took out was reasonable, he didn't mind helping him. At worst, he would take one more share of the treasures in the cave abode, and he wouldn't lose money.
Li Laodao shook his head and sighed: "If I were younger and had a Spirit-Replenishing Pill, I could try to break through."
"But I'm really too old now, and all my physical functions have declined severely. Even my realm is not in a
"But I am truly too old now; all my bodily functions have declined severely, and even my cultivation realm is not at its peak. Even with the help of a Spirit-Gathering Pill, the hope of a breakthrough would be extremely slim."
"If there really were a Spirit-Gathering Pill, I would give it to my grandson. There is no need for an old bag of bones like me, who is about to be buried, to waste it."
The Little Medicine Boy looked at him with an unreadable expression, his brows tightly locked, wanting to speak but stopping, his face full of conflict.
In truth, he really wanted to say right now: your imagination is still not wild enough, and the development of the Cockroach Gu is not yet thorough enough.
So what if the lungs can no longer be used? You can replace them with someone else's. Others may not be able to transplant organs from others, but someone with a Cockroach Gu might not necessarily die from changing organs.
He could completely remove a pile of his own aging organs and replace them with young ones. In this way, the condition of his aging body could be completely resolved, and with a young body, a breakthrough would naturally be much easier.
Not only can organs be changed, but other people's Spirit Seas can also be swapped over; the rare Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart could also be transplanted into himself, and the legendary Heavy Pupil could also be grafted onto his own body...
Utilizing the powerful immortal ability of the Cockroach Gu, he could completely stitch himself into a monster. It is just that while fusing the organs of others is one hundred percent feasible, he is not certain if fusing powerful organs is possible.
If it really is feasible, and all parts of the body are replaced with rare and peculiar organs, then it would surely shape a terrifying monster whose combat power few could rival.
But he cannot speak of this wild idea; this idea implies killing, and not just one person, but many, many people.
At this moment, he himself is considering whether to do this; of course, he cannot bring himself to harm innocent people.
But the hearts of spirit beasts are far stronger than those of humans, and the body parts of some alien races are also a hundred times stronger than humans. He would have no pressure at all in stitching together organs from these species.
He is even considering what kind of combination plan would be the strongest, preferably one where they complement and match each other, so as to exert effects far exceeding those of the original users.
The only thing that worries him is whether he would still count as a human if he did this, and whether he would still be human by then. This fills his heart with fear, and he has been struggling with whether or not he should develop this kind of forbidden technique.
A path of the strong is laid out before him, with endless temptation, but he dares not reach out to take it. His heart is filled with panic and unease, and to this day, he dares not take that step.
He has even developed a sense of fear toward this terrifying forbidden technique, dreaming that he has turned into a demon...
In the end, he still decided not to tell Li Laodao about this wild idea, because he did not want to create a demon.
Li Laodao is only physically aged and will not face any major issues for the time being, though the journey will certainly be slowed down a bit because of him.
Seeing that his body was unharmed, the group began to rest where they were and took out dry rations to replenish their strength.
Long Xuan, however, took out the honey-glazed roasted meat he had prepared long ago, heated it up with his Blazing Flame Palm, and began to feast heartily. The rich aroma of the meat immediately spread out.
The others looked at the dry rations in their own hands, then at the honey-glazed roasted meat in his, and suddenly felt that the rations in their hands were no longer appetizing.
When others travel far, they bring some dry rations to satisfy their hunger on the road and just make do. He, on the other hand, brings whatever is delicious, and it is even Beast King meat. He really knows how to enjoy himself; those who didn't know would think he was here for a picnic on a trip.
How could they still eat after this? Looking at the dry rations in their hands that were hard to swallow, several of them cast resentful glances at Long Xuan.
"Roasted meat made with fine honey? It's my first time seeing this method. Is it delicious?"
Di Xin, who was to the side, glanced at him and said softly.
"It is simply a delicacy of the human world, delicious beyond words. Let me tell you, brushing honey on roasted meat is the best way to eat it; it's a perfect match. Want to try some?" Long Xuan smiled and held the roasted meat out toward her.
Who would have thought that Di Xin would be so unceremonious as to snatch it away and start tasting it in big bites.
Long Xuan was stunned. He was just being polite; he didn't expect her to actually eat it. Aren't women in this world supposed to be conservative and never eat food handed to them by a strange man?
How could she be so shameless? Where is her reserve?
