Chapter 409 Who Stole the Spiritual Liquid?
Chapter 409 Who Stole the Spiritual Liquid?
"boom……"
Just as more than thirty Jindan stage cultivators were sitting cross-legged in the spirit liquid pool to absorb spiritual energy, a powerful true energy wave suddenly spread out in all directions, followed by a loud bang.
Then a middle-aged monk who looked to be in his forties opened his eyes excitedly and laughed happily:
“Hahahaha… It’s been a hundred years. I’ve been stuck in the middle stage of the Golden Core for a full hundred years. I didn’t expect the spiritual energy in this spiritual liquid to be so pure. It really allowed me to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core. This is great, hahahaha…”
The noise made by the middle-aged monk's breakthrough immediately attracted the attention of other monks.
No one expected that only half a day had passed and someone had already successfully broken through. They all closed their eyes again to continue practicing. No one wanted to miss such a good opportunity.
When one’s cultivation reaches their level, it is not possible to improve one’s cultivation simply by absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones. One must rely on other opportunities to achieve a breakthrough.
Spiritual liquid is a good choice. Although it is also spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the spiritual liquid is more refined and mysterious than the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone.
"I'm sorry, fellow Taoists. I was just a little excited. I hope you can forgive me."
The middle-aged monk saw that everyone was looking at him strangely, and then he realized that he had lost his composure in the excitement and affected other people, so he hurriedly apologized to everyone.
Then try to calm your emotions and continue practicing with your eyes closed.
However, just when everyone had entered the state and had only taken a few breaths, a scolding voice suddenly rang out. Then everyone found themselves enveloped by a powerful divine consciousness.
"Humph! Who was it? Who secretly took the spiritual fluid away? I advise you to confess it voluntarily. If I find out, I will definitely turn you into ashes."
The person who spoke was the tall, middle-aged monk with sword-like eyebrows, aquiline nose and sharp eyes.
At this moment, he was using his spiritual sense to observe everyone's every move, and even the other cultivators who had reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage were not spared, which showed that he was extremely angry.
Because he was awakened by the noise just now, and then he suddenly discovered that the spiritual liquid in the pool was less than half.
Originally the spiritual fluid could spread to his chest, but now it could only reach his knees.
Even if thirty people kept absorbing spiritual energy, it would be impossible for them to consume so much, not to mention that only half a day had passed.
Then someone must have secretly taken away the spiritual liquid while everyone was practicing. This was fucking outrageous, so he immediately woke everyone up in anger and was determined to find out who the thief was.
After hearing this, everyone realized that the spiritual liquid was indeed less than half.
Lu Chen, who was mixed in the crowd, was shocked when he heard this. He looked down at the spiritual liquid in the pool and felt that he had indeed gone too far.
However, the more it is at this time, the more you cannot show any abnormality, otherwise you will die without knowing how.
So Lu Chen pretended to be surprised and whispered with the people around him, commenting on the matter.
The hook-nosed monk was not surprised to see that no one took the initiative to admit it.
He immediately called on several other Jindan stage great perfection cultivators to drive Lu Chen and others out of the stone pool, and had no intention of letting them leave.
After everyone stood up, there was even less spiritual liquid in the stone pool, which showed how excessive the thief had been.
This made several Jindan stage great perfection cultivators very angry.
Because according to the previous distribution method, they were undoubtedly the ones who benefited the most, but now even if they drove everyone else away, they wouldn't be able to get much spiritual liquid.
"Hand over all your storage bags for us to check, or you will all die."
At this time, a slightly plump monk who had reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage shouted at everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took out their weapons and looked at the few people vigilantly.
Are you kidding? How could a cultivator allow others to check his storage bag? Let’s not talk about the spiritual liquid for now. Everyone has some incredible treasures. If others were to spy on it, how could they play?
Besides, there were only eight cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage at the scene.
There are more than ten cultivators in the late and middle Jindan stages, and there are also quite a few cultivators in the early Jindan stages. If they really put up a desperate fight, even if there is no chance of winning, there are many cultivators who can escape unscathed.
Therefore, no one would be willing to hand over their storage bag for inspection.
For a moment, both sides were caught in an atmosphere of tension.
Upon seeing this, the faces of those Jindan-stage Great Perfection cultivators suddenly became gloomy, but they did not act rashly.
"Seniors! Please calm down. We are willing to hand over our storage bags for you to check.
Please be merciful, seniors, and let us leave in peace. We really didn’t steal the spiritual fluid, and we don’t have the guts to do so.”
At this time, a young monk plucked up the courage, and said respectfully in a very fawning manner, almost kneeling down to the other party.
After saying that, he took out his storage bag and gestured to the other cultivators in the early Jindan stage around him.
This person was Lu Chen who stole the spiritual liquid.
Seeing someone taking the lead, those cultivators in the early Jindan stage also took out their storage bags and controlled the bags with their spiritual sense to fly towards the big guys.
They are not stupid and naturally understand that if a battle like this were to start, their strength would not be enough.
"Humph! How can a monk like me be afraid of death? I really don't want to be associated with you."
A cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm couldn't stand what Lu Chen was doing, and said with disdain, his eyes full of contempt.
Then he stood in the team of middle and late Jindan stage with a very noble attitude.
"Idiot!" Upon hearing this, Lu Chen glanced at the monk who spoke, cursed in his heart, and then stopped looking at him.
Seeing that Lu Chen and other early Jindan cultivators had surrendered, the hook-nosed monk did not make things difficult for them. After checking their storage bags and finding nothing, he told them to leave.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen and others felt as if they had been pardoned, and quickly flew away on their swords.
"I didn't steal the spiritual fluid either. This is my storage bag."
When the others saw Lu Chen and others voluntarily handing over their storage bags for inspection, they were able to leave safely. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they followed suit.
Just like that, the team that was originally united and prepared to fight to the death began to fall apart after they all left.
Soon, there were only a dozen or so stubborn people left by the stone pool.
Several Jindan-stage Great Perfection cultivators, seeing that they had searched so many people but still could not find the thief who stole the spiritual liquid, immediately took out their anger on those who were unwilling to be examined.
For a moment, there were flashes of swords and energy everywhere, and the two sides started fighting directly.
Of course, Lu Chen naturally didn’t know about these things. At this moment, he was happily flying on his sword towards Wuqing Peak.
But what Lu Chen didn’t know was that after he left, a young cultivator of similar age threw out his flying sword and chased after him…
