Chapter 74 Yuanying Jiaogui
It is said that the Jiao turtle is the descendant of the ancient Jiao dragon.
A newly born Jiao turtle is at least a level 4 monster, which is equivalent to the strength of the early to middle stage of foundation building.
An adult Jiao turtle is generally a level 5 or 6 monster, which is equivalent to the strength of the Golden Core.
And it is said that when the Jiao turtle breaks through the eighth level, it will have the strength comparable to the Yuanying stage.
That is a powerful monster that can move mountains and fill the sea.
For such a place, Fang Yang was originally unwilling to come.
However, facing the improvement of the potential of the spiritual roots by the Five Elements Flower, this is also a fatal temptation for Fang Yang, and Fang Yang has to be tempted.
Fang Yang knows that if his aptitude is still so poor, even with a heaven-defying treasure like Qingyuan Xianshan, it will be difficult to make any progress at most to the peak of foundation building.
As for the Golden Core cultivation, he doesn't even need to think about it.
And Fang Yang's Tao heart is really solid, so he will fight for this extremely risky spiritual herb.
However, Fang Yang doesn't want Nuo Po and Zhang Lin to take risks.
Although their qualifications are not as good as Xie Xueyi, they are much better than Fang Yang.
Even without spiritual herbs like the Five Elements Flower, they can probably advance to the Golden Core, so Fang Yang asked them to act separately.
Fang Yang just said that he and Xie Xueyi would complete the secret order of Xie Dechen, the Golden Core Law Enforcement Elder.
At the same time, according to the task list, Fang Yang asked Nuo Po and Zhang Lin to go to a nearby place called Dieyuan Wild Forest to find a kind of Phoenix Feather Stone.
Since it was a secret order from the Law Enforcement Elder, Zhang Lin and Nuo Po did not ask much, and then drove the magic weapon away.
It is said that the ancient phoenix used this stone to build a nest, so it was contaminated with a trace of phoenix vitality.
This is also a good thing for cultivators who practice fire-based exercises. The task bar said that five Phoenix Stones can be exchanged for one foundation-building pill.
Although there are third-level spirit beasts Fenghu and fourth-level spirit beasts Po Luo Huoben in Dieyuan Wild Forest, the danger of this task is indeed much smaller than that of Fang Yang and his team.
Besides, Nuo Po's attack power is superior, and Zhang Lin is proficient in magic weapons. Although he did not get the foundation-building pill in this sect competition, he got a low-grade spiritual weapon, so his defense became very strong.
Nuo Po and Zhang Lin, one attack and one defense, complement each other. Although there are third- and fourth-level spiritual beasts guarding them, they can still make a breakthrough with their strength.
Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi went directly to Jiaogui Lake.
When they were five hundred miles away from Jiaogui Lake, Xie Xueyi and Fang Yang quietly lurked in a dense forest.
There are Yuanying-level monsters in Jiaogui Lake. No matter how outstanding Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi are among the Qi training cultivators, they are just ants here.
At this time, Xie Xueyi took out a jade bottle with a red liquid in it.
"This is Jiaogui blood! My master got it when he and other Yuanying cultivators came to investigate and killed a Jiaogui in the Yuanying period."
"Yuanying-level battle!" This shocked Fang Yang.
Xie Xueyi then explained: "Because the Jiao turtle has a weak dragon bloodline, it also inherits the dragon bloodline consciousness. As long as we take this thing, we will emit a weak Nascent Soul Jiao turtle aura within a month!"
"So the Jiao turtles with low intelligence will regard us as nobles among Jiao turtles, and we can enter and exit the Jiao turtle's territory at will in a short time."
Xie Xueyi said slowly: "But even with this thing, it is only effective for low-level Jiao turtles, so this trip is also very dangerous."
In fact, this method is only effective for low-level monsters. If a Nascent Soul cultivator approaches, the powerful spiritual power fluctuations will be sensed by the Nascent Soul Jiao turtle even if it is hidden.
Therefore, Fang Yang and his team are like ants on the roadside in the eyes of the Nascent Soul Jiao turtle, and naturally they will not pay attention to them deliberately.
This gives Fang Yang and his team a chance to sneak in.
And every time the Nascent Soul cultivator comes to Jiaogui Lake, they can only force their way through.
Just like when someone breaks into the house, the owner of the house will definitely attack him in groups.
On the contrary, if an ant breaks into the house, even if it is discovered, it is probably not too noticeable, and the same is true.
"You also know that the Five Elements Flower is extremely important to me. I will go no matter how difficult it is!" Fang Yang nodded and said.
After Fang Yang and his friends each took some of the blood of the dragon turtle, a faint smell came out of their bodies.
It seemed to be fishy and seemed to be a kind of algae smell in the lake.
When Fang Yang and his friends were moving forward, the nearby monsters began to avoid him and Xie Xueyi.
Soon, they arrived at the Jiaogui Lake.
"Master said that the Five Elements Grass may be in a secret cave under the water. They have explored some and gave us more than ten suspicious points. Here are the green water beads refined by Master!"
Xie Xueyi took out two small green beads, "If you hold this in your mouth, you can breathe freely underwater, but it can only last for three days."
Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi found a secret place to hold the green water spirit beads and went into the water.
Because there are huge dragon turtles active in Jiaogui Lake all year round, the underwater here is quite spectacular.
There are towering cliffs under the water, which are polished very smoothly, and there are many water plants under the water.
Some water plants are like big trees, and they are tens of feet long. They sway with the waves, making the scenery more magnificent.
"Look! There is a dragon turtle approaching!" I saw a dragon turtle that was ten feet long.
It looked like it was only at the peak of the fourth level, equivalent to a teenager among dragon turtles.
It was stunned when it saw Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi, but soon shook its head to them, obviously showing respect.
Then they swam away with their heads down, as if embarrassed.
This made Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi feel relieved.
In the next two or three days, Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi checked the places where the Yuanying Ancestor speculated that there might be five elements grass.
When they were checking a cave at the bottom of the lake, there was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power, and the strong pressure made Qian Duoduo in the spirit beast bag tremble.
Fang Yang and his friends wanted to run, but suddenly they found a huge dragon turtle like a mountain approaching Fang Yang and his friends, and it was very fast!
"Oh no! A dragon turtle in the Yuanying period!" Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi were shocked.
Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi suddenly felt a strong spiritual pressure coming.
Obviously, the spiritual power of the Yuanying period dragon turtle has locked them, which means that Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi's every move is monitored by the dragon turtle.
You know, Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi are like ants in front of the Yuanying period dragon turtle at this time.
"Let's go!" Xie Xueyi grabbed Fang Yang's hand and threw a high-level water escape talisman, and then took Fang Yang to escape underwater at a speed no less than that of a foundation-building cultivator.
Although this speed is already amazing compared to ordinary Qi training cultivators, it is not much faster than a snail in front of something as big as a mountain.
Xie Xueyi and Fang Yang were burning with anxiety at this time. They did not expect that their luck was so bad that they encountered a big demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage so soon.
Fortunately, the Nascent Soul stage dragon turtle did not seem to have any malicious intent for the time being, but slowly followed Fang Yang and the others, and did not directly attack, which gave Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi a glimmer of hope.
After a stalemate for a cup of tea, it seemed that the Nascent Soul stage dragon turtle was a little impatient.
It suddenly spurted out a breath of water, and instantly rolled up a vortex in the lake, rushing towards Fang Yang and the others.
This understated attack was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a peak foundation-building cultivator.
Xie Xueyi immediately crushed a white defensive jade slip, and a powerful defensive barrier instantly formed behind the two of them.
Then the barrier collided with the vortex and made a "gurglingboom" sound of violent water flow.
"Oh no! It's attacking!" Xie Xueyi screamed.
"Fang Yang, grab my hand! I have a flying talisman given to me by my master. It can be randomly teleported to 500 miles away. We must escape, otherwise we will die here."
Xie Xueyi took out a green jade plate with a powerful ban set by a Yuanying cultivator on it.
The jade plate not only looks very complicated, but also has abnormal spiritual power fluctuations.
This is the flying talisman, which is equivalent to a random teleportation array that can be directly teleported to 500 miles away.
It is indeed a life-saving magic weapon, and it is quite valuable. Even for a Yuanying cultivator, it is very difficult to refine this thing.
This is also the biggest reliance of Xie Xueyi to come here to explore.
If it is not a last resort, Xie Xueyi will never dare to use it.
And the Yuanying stage Jiaogui obviously felt the breath of the Yuanying cultivator emanating from the flying talisman, and was actually alert.
If it had just sprayed water for fun, it would have let out a low roar after seeing this thing.
After the sound of "Woo", a powerful aura suddenly rushed over.
Xie Xueyi used all her strength to activate the Escape Talisman while crushing a red jade slip.
A powerful defensive ban comparable to the strength of a golden elixir quickly formed behind the two of them.
Although the Yuanying Jiaogui felt that something was wrong with the two of them, Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi had the aura of a Jiaogui after all, so the attack of the Jiaogui was only equivalent to that of a mid-to-late Jindan cultivator.
Xie Xueyi grabbed Fang Yang's hand, and the Escape Talisman in his hand emitted a huge golden light, and when it was about to wrap the two of them, at this moment, "Boom" the two huge forces collided, forming a huge turbulence under the water.
Suddenly Fang Yang was swept by a huge force and was pulled out of the light circle of the Escape Talisman.
"No, Fang Yang Fang Yang"
Fang Yang could only hear Xie Xueyi's heart-wrenching voice piercing through the water in the huge force.
But then Xie Xueyi was wrapped in the light circle and disappeared in an instant.
Although Xie Xueyi was unwilling, she could not stop the activated escape talisman and was teleported away in an instant.
Fang Yang was hit by the turbulent flow and after being pulled out of the light circle, he felt a heavy blow, his mouth was sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
What's more terrible is that the green water beads in Fang Yang's mouth were also spit out.
As a result, Fang Yang couldn't breathe under the water all of a sudden.
You know, Fang Yang is just a high-level cultivator of Qi training. Only foundation-building cultivators can form a Zhoutian circulation in the body and can go for a long time without breathing.
The huge water pressure from all around suddenly hit Fang Yang's chest, making it feel like being pressed by a huge rock.
At the same time, there was a spiritual pressure from a Yuanying stage monster behind him. At this moment, Fang Yang even felt the fear of death.
In this situation, Fang Yang's limbs shrank unconsciously, his body bent, and then his limbs slid naturally.
"Turtle Swimming Technique!" How could I forget this skill?
This Turtle Swimming Technique was obtained by Fang Yang from the Sutra Pavilion of the White Fan Sect when he first started practicing.
Ordinary people practiced this technique and it was rubbish, but Fang Yang used this technique with the Qi Training Technique and practiced it in water to achieve miraculous results.
He even achieved the wonderful function of being able to breathe freely underwater.
Now that Fang Yang lost the Green Water Pearl, he couldn't help but use this strange technique in a hurry.
Instantly, he could breathe freely underwater, and his swimming speed was much faster.
Seeing Fang Yang using the Turtle Swimming Technique, the huge Yuanying Jiao Turtle actually opened its window-sized eyes wide.
It stared at Fang Yang for a long time, and then made a series of "GuguGugu" sounds, which were very gentle, as if trying to get close to Fang Yang.
"Huh" Fang Yang was also very confused when he saw the Jiao Turtle's attitude change drastically.
However, Fang Yang found that after he performed the Turtle Swimming Technique in this Jiao Turtle Lake, the speed at which the spiritual energy around him gathered towards him increased a lot, as if this set of skills was born to be practiced here.
