Cage Grass
The twenty spirit stones that Fan Nine Snakes had taken out were indeed hard to come by. Although the Fan brothers had saved up a lot of money in the Southern Capital over the years, spirit stones were not something that could be bought with money.
As a mortal, no matter how rich you were, it was very difficult to buy spirit stones from an immortal cultivator. Immortal cultivators had extraordinary abilities, and there were too many opportunities for them to make money. They didn't care at all, so why would they exchange spirit stones for silver?
Fan Nine Snake's dozens of spirit stones came by chance. It just so happened that a prodigal without spirit roots had come from a cultivation clan. That kid ate, drank, and gambled, and even owed a debt outside.
When Fan Jiulong found out, he gave him a large sum of money. In return, the prodigal had cheated and stolen dozens of spirit stones from his family. Fan Jiulong had kept them for a long time and had been reluctant to use them. Today, at the moment of life and death, he took them out.
Spirit stones had many uses. First of all, this was the currency used for transactions between immortal cultivators. It was used just like ordinary people's silver. Generally speaking, the number of spirit stones that everyone was talking about referred to the low-grade spirit stones in Fan Nine Snake's hands. One hundred low-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for one middle-grade spirit stone, and one hundred middle-grade spirit stones was equivalent to one high-grade spirit stone.
Of course, that was the theory. In reality, high-grade spirit stones were very rare. A hundred middle-grade spirit stones were far from being able to exchange for a high-grade spirit stone. As for top-grade spirit stones, they were considered divine items. They were almost extinct in this world. It had been thousands of years since a top-grade spirit stone had appeared.
Moreover, the second function of spirit stones was that many array formations needed spirit stones as the core of the array. Simply put, they needed spirit stones to provide energy. With spirit stones, the array formation could operate.
The third function of spirit stones was to absorb spiritual energy. The spiritual energy contained in the spirit stones was very pure, far superior to the spiritual energy in the air. Even if the spiritual energy was abundant, it could not compare to the spiritual energy provided by the spirit stones.
Fan Nine Snakes had taken out the Spirit Stones for the third reason. He was using the Golden Light Body Protection Technique, and his own Spirit Qi was unable to supply him, so he had no choice but to take out the Spirit Stones to replenish his Spirit Qi in order to fight Ye Kong for a long time.
Seeing Fan Nine Snakes helplessly take out some Spirit Stones to hold on, Ye Kong chuckled and said," Brother Fan, you have quite a lot of Spirit Stones. I'd like to see how long you can hold on if you suck all of them dry!"”
Fan Nine Snakes ignored him and sat cross-legged in the grass. He held a spirit stone in each hand as if he was asleep.
Although this golden light protection technique consumed ling power, if he was not attacked, the consumption was limited.
Ye Kong naturally wouldn't let him meditate so comfortably. He went to find more rocks and smashed them repeatedly on Fan Nine Snake's body. The golden light was smashed into a distorted shape, but it showed no signs of breaking.
After smashing for a while, Ye Kong felt a little bored. He didn't want to waste his spiritual energy on this useless task, so he simply moved a large rock and sat down across from Fan Nine Snakes.
"If you want to waste time, fine. I have plenty of time. Anyway, the people waiting to die are not my relatives.”Ye Kong laughed.
At this time, the sky had already begun to turn dark. The sun could no longer be seen when he raised his head. The last ray of light was barely able to light up the sky, and the spirit stones in Fan Jiushe's hands were almost exhausted.
Of course, Ye Kong wouldn't train in front of his enemies. He looked up at the sky and said calmly," Fan Nine Snake, the sky is about to turn dark. Why don't we have a discussion?"”
Fan Nine Snakes opened his eyes and looked at Ye Kong, only to hear him say," This incident was purely because you harbored ill intentions. As long as you disperse your cultivation and hand over the cultivation mnemonic, I, Ye Kong, will protect you and your entire family.”
Fan Nine-Snake sniffed and laughed." Immortal cultivators are most afraid of external love. It's good that you killed my family. I won't have to worry about them in the future. Maybe I can cultivate faster in the future."”
Ye Kong shook his head." You're such a heartless beast. Even if they die, do you think you can escape?”
Fan Nine Snake smiled mysteriously." It's hard to say.”
Just as he finished laughing, Ye Kong suddenly felt a bad feeling. But before he could do anything, something strange happened.
Four green pillars as thick as a human leg suddenly appeared out of thin air beside the big rock he was sitting cross-legged on. The pillars were mottled and rough, as if they were trees that had suddenly grown out.
When the pillars rose up, countless vines began to stretch out from the ground between the pillars. The vines grew at an insane rate, and soon, they surrounded Ye Kong.
Ye Kong's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what this thing was. He raised his hand and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, then slashed at the vines.
Who would have thought that the vines would be so sturdy that when he slashed down, he only managed to cut through the vine skin. Moreover, from the vine skin, several thumb-thick vines stretched out. It could be said that the more he cut, the more vines he grew.
"Haha, don't waste your effort!”Fan Jiushe's wild laughter came from outside." Kid, let me tell you. This is a low-grade middle-grade spirit herb, Cage Grass. Although it doesn't have any killing power, it is a great trap. Even a Foundation Building Immortal would find it difficult to escape!”
"Did you think I was meditating just now? You're wrong. I've been crazily absorbing spiritual energy to nourish the seed of this grass, which is why it suddenly grew! Had he been tricked? Little Fox, you can't beat the old hunter in the end!”
Fan Nine Snakes, who had been stifled for the whole afternoon, laughed like a madman. He looked at the green square cage in front of him, which had grown so tight that no air could pass through it. He walked around it and felt very pleased.
"Damn it! Fan Nine Snakes, let me out!" Ye Kong gave up on cutting the vines. He stood in the dark room and cursed," Fan Nine Snakes, you coward! What ability do you have to trap me? Can you kill me? Come on!"
"Haha, of course I can kill you! Even if I can't kill you, I'll starve you to death!”
"Then your family will still die in the end! Come and kill me!"
"I won't say anything else. If they die, so be it. I will avenge them.”Fan Nine Snake smiled sinisterly." This Cage Grass seed was left behind by that damned cultivator. Even when I was being hunted down last time, I couldn't bear to use it. Now that I've used it on you, how can I not reap some benefits?”
Indeed, this kind of Cage Grass seed had long gone extinct. It had been passed down in the storage bag of the ancient cultivator for ten thousand years. Fan Nine Snake really treasured it like a treasure and treated it as his last life-saving straw. If it weren't for the fact that he was on the verge of death today, he wouldn't have used it.
Since he was going to use it, he had to absorb Ye Kong's energy. As for his family, his parents, and his wife, he didn't care. Besides, it was probably too late to rush back now, so he might as well absorb Ye Kong's energy here and break through to the fourth layer of the Aura Refining realm.
As for opening this cage, he naturally had a way.
The Cage Grass grew into a square green cage and stopped growing. The dense vines intertwined with each other like four walls, blocking Ye Kong inside. Even the top of his head was covered with vines.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this fatty to have such a detestable grass!”Ye Kong used his fists, his knife, his blood, his saliva... He used every method he could think of, but it still didn't work.
"If you have the guts, come in and kill me!" Ye Kong cursed.
"Haha, don't think that I'm lying to you. I really do have a way. Once I dig a hole in this vine wall, it'll be your death!”
Fan Nine Snake smiled proudly. He slapped his storage pouch and took out the small gray sword magic tool. He cut at the vine that was extending out.
" Pa!" The vine that was as thick as a finger snapped, and white liquid flowed out of the cut.
"As expected, this Cage Grass is only useful for magic tools and spirit tools.”Fan Nine Snakes was overjoyed that his experiment was successful.
He already had a plan to deal with Ye Kong. Didn't this kid know how to dodge? In this small space, let's see how you can hide. He would dig a hole the size of a fist and throw an Ice Bullet into it to freeze him inside. Then, he would be able to capture this kid alive!
Inside, Ye Kong wasn't idle either. He couldn't cut the vines, so he suddenly thought of digging!
However, he was disappointed again. The Cage Grass was indeed good at trapping people. The ground was harder than the wall, and the vines were even thicker. They were as hard as iron and stone. When the dagger slashed at them, sparks flew everywhere.
Damn it, are we just going to wait for death inside?
Listening to the sounds of digging outside, Ye Kong once again felt despair. He shouted," Fan Nine Snakes! Didn't you want to absorb my spiritual energy? If you force me into a corner, I'll commit suicide! Let's see how you absorb my spiritual energy!"
"Haha, you won't!" Fan Nine Snakes laughed loudly." People like you are the same as me! He would never give up until the last moment! At the last moment, he still had to struggle on his deathbed! Such a person would never commit suicide! You…are unwilling!"
Ye Kong snorted." Damn it, you know me so well. It looks like the ones who know you the best are your enemies. That's true."”
The sky was completely dark, and the moon had yet to rise. This was the darkest moment of the day. The sky was pitch-black, and the forest was like the shadows of monsters, gloomy and terrifying.
This " Cage Grass " lived up to its name. It was indeed like a cage. The walls were extraordinarily thick. Fan Nine Snake didn't light a fire and dug in while it was dark. Although the small sword magic tool was able to dig through the wall made of vines, it wasn't that fast.
However, inch by inch, the thick wall of vines was finally hollowed out. Fan Nine Snake swung his blade again, and the tip of the blade pierced through!
"I got through!" Fan Nine Snakes was so excited that his fingers were trembling.
He shouted," Brat, you don't have much time left! I'm going to use your spiritual energy to break through to the fourth qi layer! At that time, I can use magic tools! Haha, let me tell you, the first person I kill with my magic tool will be your ghost-like mother! Then there's the Lu family!"
Ye Kong was about to die, but at this critical moment, he suddenly slapped his forehead." Stupid! How could I not have thought of this?”
