Chapter 21 Spirit Lake

When Suzaku heard that he was asked to give out one-twelfth of his blood essence, he was stunned.

In terms of biological age, Suzaku has lived for tens of thousands of years, but because his consciousness was born today, his mentality is only that of a baby. Although she has the influence of ancient bloodline, she has only been promoted to the level of an ordinary girl. How can she fight with a human spirit like Tang Jie.

After a few words, he was no longer an opponent and was completely defeated.

After losing, the girl was still unconvinced, kicking her feet and shouting: "No, no, just no!"

Deep down in his heart, Suzaku also knew that this matter was too important and could not easily nod in agreement.

Tang Jie was not in a hurry, just smiled and said: "I also know that taking away one-twelfth of the blood essence at once will have a great impact on you."

"It's good that you know." Suzaku almost cried.

"In this case, how about we find a compromise? The girl can pay in installments."

"Instalment payment?" This new term puzzled Suzaku.

Tang Jie roughly explained the meaning of installment payment, and then said: "Look, we can divide one-twelfth of the blood essence into five hundred years to pay. In this case, you only need to pay a very small amount every year Essence and blood...probably...by the way, the essence and blood of holy beasts is usually 10,000 drops, right?"

"How can there be so many? The Holy Beast at its peak only has about 3,000 drops. This girl is restricted and cannot return to the void. She only has 999 drops of essence and blood. No matter how much more it is, she can't do it." Suzaku had no intention. Opportunistically reveal one's trump card.

Tang Jie calculated: "Oh, let's calculate it as a thousand drops. One-twelfth is eighty-three point three. If it is paid in installments over five hundred years, it is almost one drop of blood in six years. In this way, you You don’t have to worry about the whereabouts of your realm.”

"Okay, okay!" Suzaku nodded happily.

Paying a drop of blood for six years is really nothing. Not to mention that the realm will not fall, but it is easy to recover.

The more essence and blood is lost, the slower the recovery will be. If hundreds of drops are lost at a time, it will take Suzaku hundreds of years to recover. If one drop is lost, it will take more than a month to recover. The recovery speed differs by dozens of times.

This is like donating a limited amount of blood every month, which will not have any impact on people. But releasing a large amount of blood at once will have a huge impact on the entire person.

So Suzaku was very satisfied with this plan,

He forgot that he had already accepted Tang Jie's price.

Seeing Suzaku nod, Tang Jie continued: "In that case, we will calculate the interest."

"Interest?" Suzaku's eyes widened.

"Yes, installment payment requires interest, didn't you know?" Next, Tang Jie explained the interest to Suzaku.

Zhuque was dumbfounded and asked, "How much is the interest?"

Tang Jie patted her shoulder: "I'll do the math for you. Don't worry, we're all old acquaintances. I'll give you an absolutely low interest rate. For now, let's calculate it based on the annual interest rate of one point. The principal is 83.3 drops. , the repayment period is five hundred years, in equal amounts of principal and interest, and needs to be repaid every year..."

Tang Jie calculated as he talked. With wisdom, he could calculate quickly and quickly came to the conclusion: "0.83 drops per year. In this case, let's use one drop per year."

"What? One drop per year?" Suzaku cried out: "Isn't that five hundred? I have to give you five hundred drops, half of my blood essence! Why is this interest so powerful? You must be cheating me!"

Tang Jie looked at her with contempt: "What I give you is the lowest interest rate."

"This is impossible!" Suzaku shouted.

"Ask as you like, you won't find this price anywhere."

There were also money banks in this era, and lending money to earn interest was nothing unusual.

The annual interest rate is one cent, which is an unprecedented low interest rate and a good price. This is mainly because Tang Jie was afraid of angering Suzaku too much, so he took the initiative to make a large concession.

But Suzaku didn't believe this at all.

In the ancient times when its ancestors existed, civilization was far from what it is today. Everywhere is wild, business is not prosperous, banks are unheard of, and there is no concept of interest.

But for Suzaku, five hundred years passed in a matter of seconds.

Therefore, it would never be able to imagine that eighty-three drops of blood essence could increase to five hundred drops in just one sleep.

Because of this, when Zhuque heard what Tang Jie said, he shouted: "You lied to me..."

"If I lied to you, my life would be yours. If I didn't lie to you, the essence and blood must be paid according to the price."

Upon hearing this, Suzaku couldn't help but tremble.

After hearing what he said, Suzaku finally felt that he was probably wrong.

Although she could afford a drop of blood every year, the thought of having her blood drawn for five hundred years was not a good feeling at all.

He could only say, "I can't get out now..."

"If you can't get out, you can always send your spiritual thoughts to me, right? If you can't, I will try my best to get through this place and set you free. But before you can pay off your debt, you need to follow me first."

Place a ray of spiritual thought on Tang Jie to see the outside world?

Suzaku's eyes lit up.

Although I can't escape from here and enter the world, even if I can see the outside world, it will undoubtedly be great.

What's more, with spiritual sustenance, Suzaku no longer has to be so lonely.

Now she is not like before. After opening her spiritual intelligence, her expectation for communication has increased infinitely. It would be good to be able to send his spiritual thoughts to Tang Jie, even just by talking.

"Is it really okay?" she asked.

"Of course, why not?" Tang Jie replied with a smile.

He has lost his thoughts of God, but his thoughts of Suzaku are also good things.

Of course, don't expect engulfment.

"Okay." Suzaku nodded: "If everything is as you say, I agree."

"How can I be sure that you won't deny it?" Tang Jie's eyes lit up.

Suzaku replied: "We take the way of heaven as our alliance and place our oaths on it. If you violate your oath, you will be punished by heavenly calamity!"

Heaven's oath!

Only a being like Suzaku can entrust the promise to heaven. This is also the most reliable oath.

Tang Jie was overjoyed and said, "Okay, that's it."

With this heavenly oath, Tang Jie no longer fears that the Suzaku will fly out of his palm.

Five hundred drops of essence and blood were only part of what he asked for, and more importantly, as long as the essence and blood were not repaid, Suzaku could never leave him.

It is true that she did not sign an agreement to sell herself as a servant, but as long as she is around, are you still afraid that she will not serve him? Even if he doesn't make him his servant, Tang Jie still has many ways to control Suzaku.

Of course, Suzaku is not free yet, so such strong help cannot be used for the time being.

Tang Jie believed that sooner or later he would pass the nine tests in the secret realm.

As for the time issue, Tang Jie was not even worried. If the barrier cannot be broken in five hundred years, can't I postpone the debt collection? No matter how stupid Suzaku was, she would never be so stupid that Tang Jie didn't want her, so she hurriedly paid off her debt.

As long as there is debt, Suzaku is destined to be unable to escape, and I am afraid it will take a long time for Suzaku to understand this.

After making the oath of heavenly alliance, Tang Jie stood up and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, we can start the next thing."

"What's the matter?" Suzaku was puzzled.

"Of course it's a fight." Tang Jie clicked his knuckles:

"According to the agreement, I have to resist three attacks from you before I am eligible to get the fairy grass, right? Besides...it's time to open the next level."

————————————

There is a white jade platform in the center of the valley.

It is extremely rare that there is no fairy grass elixir on the stage, but there is a huge iron ring in the center.

This is the gateway to the next level.

At the earliest time, Tang Jie once analyzed that the fifth and sixth formations of the Nine Ultimate Immortal Killing Formation were extraordinary. It was not until he discovered this that he knew he was wrong.

Starting from the fifth formation, that is, from the beginning of entering this secret world, the difficulty of clearing the Nine Jue Immortal Formation has obviously changed dramatically.

Since the White Jade Platform is located in the valley, and the valley is under the surveillance of Suzaku, there is actually only one way to enter the next level through the White Jade Platform, which is to resist her three fire attacks.

Three attacks were both the standard for getting the medicine and the standard for passing the level, but Tang Jie didn't know it at first and chose to get the medicine.

Such a high standard is naturally not something you can live up to, and only by upgrading to a gold and steel body can you have hope.

This may be the reason why there are towering mountains and rich spiritual energy in this secret realm, because according to the arrangement of the soldier master, entering the fifth formation is the real entry. Only after cultivating here to a certain level can one have Qualified for the next level of adventure.

As for the copying technique, it is used to steal the elixir in the valley. Relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Li Jing's cultivation is too slow. Relying on the copying technique to steal the fairy grass, and then using the fairy grass to strengthen himself, he finally survived three attacks from Suzaku, thus successfully entering the valley and opening the next level.

This should be the arrangement of the military leader.

It's just that no matter how good the arrangement is, it can't be completely followed by future generations.

The military leader would not have thought that when Tang Jie came in, he would also bring He Chong and others with him.

Precisely because of He Chong's existence, even if Tang Jie later figured out all this, he never chose to open it. After all, he was still under the suppression of He Chong at that time. If the ban on the valley was lifted, anyone could enter the valley. With He Chong's strength, he would definitely dominate the valley. At that time, Tang Jie was about to cry without tears.

So Tang Jie has been holding back, even if he passed the test of the Fire Bird again and again, he always chose to take the elixir.

until today!

boom!

A roaring flame ignited in the valley, and Tang Jie strode out of the fire, as if his charred body would recover a little with every step he took. After taking ten steps, the body had completely returned to its original shape, and the blood-colored cloak reappeared on his body.

After three attacks, Tang Jie came to the white jade platform.

He stepped forward and grabbed the iron ring, and a familiar feeling suddenly arose - the iron ring was made of mica fine gold.

Tang Jie grabbed the iron ring and lifted it up suddenly, but failed to pull it out.

Tang Jie smiled and said, "Is it really a test of strength?"

The next moment, his body grew stronger, and surging power continued to overflow from his body, as if an invisible tornado was wrapping around him, blowing wind and clouds everywhere. Tang Jie had grabbed the iron ring and pulled it into the air.

This time, the hoop was finally pulled.

As each iron chain was pulled out of the jade platform, a huge rumbling sound came from the white jade platform.

Around the white jade platform, four huge copper pillars suddenly appeared.

The copper pillars rose from the ground, and they were engraved with mysterious patterns. Tang Jie just glanced at them and heard countless voices roaring. He felt as if he was on an ancient battlefield, with the sound of iron horses and gold and the light of blood clearly in his ears. Boiling murderous intent. His heart was shaken, and he said in horror: "Dao pattern!"

The four copper pillars were clearly engraved with Dao patterns, and they were illusory Dao patterns.

Tang Jie has long understood that the master of war is a master of illusion.

The copying technique is the most complete expression of illusion, and it already includes the illusion. If the prediction is correct, it should be the same as the art of military art. It is the law in the light and the way in the dark. It is to pass down the way in the form of law, and it is also the military The most terrifying thing about the Lord.

The four copper pillars in front of me are engraved with the patterns of the Tao of Illusion.

Is this the reward for completing the fifth level?

Tang Jie just came up with this idea, and then he knew that he was wrong.

The next moment, the four copper pillars glowed together, and Tang Jie found that the entire scene on the white jade platform had changed.

It was as if he was suddenly in an endless void, surrounded by stars.

He saw an infinite giant standing among the stars.

It's the military leader!

He is tall and majestic, standing between heaven and earth. His magnificence is even greater than that of the Guangfa God that he has seen before.

Standing in the void, the huge shadow of the Soldier Master began to move slowly.

If you look carefully, you can see that he is clearly boxing.

Although they were just some seemingly simple movements, at that moment Tang Jie could feel that every movement contained the truth of heaven and earth.

When he was concentrating on the movements of the soldier leader, he could even feel the changes in the breath and the rush of power.

While watching, he followed the movements of the soldier master. At first, they were similar in appearance but far apart in meaning. However, as he followed the movements over and over again, the energy and blood in his body surged, and he gradually caught up with the rhythm of the soldier master. Tang Jie The more excited I feel in my heart, the more I feel the energy and blood in my body become more excited, and the more I beat, the more powerful I feel in my body.

It is a kind of power that comes from the depths of the heart. It is strong, majestic, and vast, as if it is a world in itself. The blood is like the Yangtze River, flowing endlessly, sending massive power to all parts of the body.

call!

call!

call!

On the jade platform, Tang Jie was fierce with his fists and kicks. What was surprising was that he did not attack quickly. Every movement was slowed down, just like Tai Chi, but the airflow surrounding him became stronger and stronger. It became more and more intense, as if he was punching fast and fiercely. In the end, Tang Jie's movements became slower and slower, and the air flow became more and more violent. Gradually, it formed a vortex, and hurricanes began to roll up from all directions, heading towards Tang Jie. Zhou gathered together and formed a huge tornado with Tang Jie as the center.

On the jade platform, the tornado is vast.

The strong wind almost covered the entire jade platform, and only a huge figure was faintly exposed, dancing on the stage. His posture and courage seemed to have the power of a giant in the sea of ​​​​stars.

Finally, after Tang Jie finished punching the Star Sea Giant for the twelfth time, he suddenly punched the air with his right fist.

A huge iron fist suddenly appeared in the sky, rushing into the air, breaking through the clouds, and rushing up to the energy shield in the sky.

boom!

The iron fist collided with a colorful light that shot into the sky.

The power of this attack was so brave.

At the same time, Tang Jie on the jade platform below also burst out laughing: "Demon Slayer Fist! This is the Demon Slayer Fist!"

The punch he just used was the Demon-Destroying Fist, but it was no longer a fishing-like explosion, but a real fighting method, a powerful boxing technique specially developed for physical training. And Tang Jie's punch just now , which is somewhat similar to the giant king's punch that day.

This is the fighting method of the military master, the fighting skills that should be cultivated physically.

Until today, Tang Jie was considered a complete body practitioner.

Before that, the spells he learned were all related to legal cultivation. With his level, although he could also use spells such as Chaos Kongbu, his ability to perform them was far inferior to that of the clone.

Only the Demon Slayer Fist is the true physical training and combat skill.

I really didn’t expect it to appear at the end of the fifth level.

However, after almost all his strength was drained by this punch, Tang Jie also realized why this was the case - the power of the Demon Slayer Fist was far beyond imagination, and even ordinary magical powers could not match it. If you don't have enough cultivation and use it forcefully, you may even tire yourself to death.

The Demon Slayer Fist that Tang Jie developed before could only be used at the cost of permanently reducing his strength. From this aspect, he actually did nothing wrong, because even the warrior master couldn't perform a demon-killing fist at a low level of strength. Tang Jie actually solved the low-level application problem of Demon Slayer Fist in his own way, but the price he paid was a bit high.

At this moment, as Tang Jie understood the Demon-Destroying Fist, he waved his hand, and the illusions on the four copper pillars disappeared at the same time. They stood still, but in the middle of the white jade platform, a black hole appeared.

Arriving in front of the black hole, Tang Jie looked down and saw nothing in the darkness below.

Is this the new sixth formation?

Since the secret realm was isolated and outside the boundary, Tang Jie originally expected not to change the scene in the future, but to directly unlock new restrictions like the third and fourth formations. But like now, an underground world appeared directly, but it was still beyond Tang Jie's expectation.

This secret realm is much bigger than I imagined.

There was a stone staircase at the entrance of the cave. Tang Jie walked down the stone staircase, descending about a hundred meters, and finally stepped on the ground.

Tang Jie stretched out his hand, and a fire rose from the palm of his hand, illuminating the surrounding area. Tang Jie saw that he was in a lava cave.

There were large stalactites hanging around the cave and on the top wall, some of which shone with crystal jade light. Tang Jie looked carefully and found that they were large stalagmites from the Jade Spring.

Yuquan stalagmite is an extremely rare spiritual material.

This kind of stalagmite itself is not of much value, but once it grows to a certain level, it will have a very special ability to condense gas into liquid.

That is to say, the spiritual energy is turned into spiritual liquid, just like Shuiyue Cave, forming the so-called spiritual spring.

This is also the origin of the name Yuquan Stalagmite.

Spiritual springs are both natural and man-made, and Yuquan stalagmites are considered to be the best tools for making spiritual springs.

The jade spring stalagmites in front of you are scattered and scattered. They seem chaotic, but in fact they imply some strange patterns. It is obvious that they are not naturally generated, but are artificially laid. Drops of spiritual liquid condensed on the tip of the stalagmite, which was the origin of the crystal jade light.

I don't know how long it will take for it to accumulate before a drop of spiritual liquid drips from the stalagmite.

Below the stalagmites are jade grooves, criss-crossing each other. The spiritual liquid does not break when it falls on the stone, but rolls into the texture and slowly flows through it. The trickles gather into a stream and flow forward.

Moving forward along the stream, Tang Jie walked out of the cave and saw a lake in front of him.

A lake condensed by spiritual liquid is purer and more majestic than Shuiyue Cave Heaven!

Tang Jie couldn't help but tremble.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a spiritual lake under the secret realm.

There is also a small island in the center of Linghu Lake. The island is not big, and a hut can be vaguely seen on the island.

Tang Jie's figure flashed and when he came to the island, he saw some flowers and plants planted on the island. Surprisingly, they were all ordinary things and there was no magic medicine. Walking along the garden path, Tang Jie reached the depths and saw that there was indeed a thatched cottage inside.

When I walked over and took a look, I saw that the thatched house was empty, except for some pots and pans and a bed, there was nothing else. There was just a Shichen Bead hanging on the roof. It is at this time that the dust beads shine, making the thatched house spotless, even after thousands of years, it has not decayed.

If we talk about treasures, the Chen Bead is probably the only treasure on the island at this time.

There is a garden behind the thatched house, and the spiritual grains planted in it have stopped growing long ago, but they are not dead either.

Under the influence of the Time Dust Bead, the entire island neither rots nor grows, as if time has frozen at this moment.

After walking around the island, Tang Jie found nothing, then turned around and left.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his eyes and stopped at something in the corner, feeling his heart suddenly shaken.

It was a small black wooden tripod that looked ordinary.
