Chapter 838 Soul-Raising Poppy (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)

Facing the fury of the Ghost King, Sun Mingsheng was not too surprised. The Ghost King's strength was indeed extraordinary and he had the upper hand in the battle, but he was also not a soft persimmon. His eighth-level cultivation of the Golden Core was his most solid foundation.

The three powerful magic weapons, the Demon-Subduing Staff, the Sky-Breaking Mace, and the Turtle Shield, were hovering around Sun Mingsheng, entangled with the Ghost King regardless of the outcome.

Although the Sealing Ghost Pearl could not directly seal the third-level upper-grade Ghost King, it also had a certain suppressing power. As for the remaining ghost soldiers and ghost generals, in addition to suppressing them with the power of the treasure talisman, the black-striped ant colony that had not appeared for a long time also swarmed out again.

In terms of the number of competitions, Sun Mingsheng never had any fear, but the black-striped ants were unable to effectively perceive the hidden space cracks, so they suffered a lot of losses in the battle for a while.

Under the leadership of the lower-middle-grade third-level soldier ants, the black-striped ants quickly gained the upper hand. Relying on their huge numerical advantage, they quickly devoured the ghost soldiers and even the lower-grade third-level ghost kings bit by bit. Only after they completely disappeared did they change their targets.

In short, under Sun Mingsheng's full response, although they seemed to be very embarrassed under the siege of the ghost group, they still maintained a confrontation state with both offense and defense, and did not fall into a real disadvantage.

Ximen Jian could use spirit beasts as a reward to attract Sun Mingsheng to buy time. Except for some unlucky ones who fell, other cultivators who entered the ancient battlefield were naturally unwilling to fall behind. They all used their own methods and gathered under the hilltop with poppy flowers and spiritual medicine in a very short time.

But in front of all the late Jindan cultivators, a ghost king dressed in white and holding a folding fan, who looked like a scholar, blocked the way forward.

If it weren't for the blood-red dots on his white clothes, he would look more like a fellow traveler who came earlier.

"Tsk tsk tsk, every thousand years, there are always some blood food that are sent to the door by all means. If it weren't for you guys coming continuously, we couldn't kill them all, and we couldn't eat them all. This ancient battlefield would have dissipated between heaven and earth long ago."

The ghost king holding a folding fan seemed to speak gently, but it was full of murderous aura, and his eyes turned blood red in an instant.

In front of him, more than a dozen famous Jindan ninth-level cultivators in the cultivation world were like pigs and sheep without any resistance in his eyes, and could be easily killed at any time.

"Who are you? Why are you talking nonsense here? Stopping us from picking spiritual medicine?"

"Even though you are amazingly powerful, you have not yet condensed your Nascent Soul. It is wishful thinking to want to monopolize this spiritual medicine."

The two Jindan ninth-level cultivators, both of whom were quite irritable, immediately scolded, and the light in their eyes kept looking around, ready to attack at any time.

"Are the spiritual medicines you are talking about this Soul-raising Poppy Flower?"

"This so-called spiritual medicine is naturally only consumed by cultivators like you who do not care about meat or vegetables. You can pick it as you like. It has nothing to do with me. However, before picking it, you need to offer three of you as blood food for me."

The White-clothed Ghost King showed a very obvious sneer in his mouth, and at the same time, all the cultivators heard the name of the Soul-raising Poppy Flower for the first time.

Every time the ancient battlefield is opened, the treasures that assist in achieving the Nascent Soul are of different types, and they are usually relatively unpopular. It is reasonable that the cultivators present did not see its background for a while.

"The Soul-raising Poppy can help cultivators temporarily improve the strength of their spiritual consciousness to the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but it also contains a strong poison. If they cannot achieve the Nascent Soul within a year after refining, the poison will enter the bone marrow, and medicine and stones will be ineffective, and they will turn into pus on the spot."

The nine-level Jindan cultivators present did not take the so-called blood food in the words of the White-clothed Ghost King too seriously, and their focus was still on the spiritual medicine itself.

Before choosing to enter the ancient battlefield, the nine-level Jindan cultivators in front of them would naturally be familiar with various natural materials and treasures that assist in achieving the Nascent Soul.

The Soul-raising Poppy is naturally among them, but on the one hand, the number of this kind of spiritual medicine in the long history of the cultivation world is quite rare, and on the other hand, once he chooses to refine it, he cannot condense the Nascent Soul within the required time range, and the consequences are quite miserable.

Under normal circumstances, most cultivators would not choose to refine unless they had no choice. This was also the fundamental reason why the ninth-level Jindan cultivators had not recognized it.

"Do you still need to pick this soul-raising poppy flower? If you are willing to retreat at this time, I naturally don't need to capture blood food from you."

The White-clothed Ghost King said with contempt, and the cultivators never really entered his eyes from beginning to end.

"You are so arrogant, you want to use us as blood food, and you are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue away."

"Fellow Daoists, no matter who this soul-raising poppy flower belongs to in the end, let's join forces and kill him first."

"After all, he is just a ghost king who failed to impact the fourth level and luckily saved his life. How dare you speak nonsense in front of us?"

An old man with white hair and beard, who was already emitting waves of death, had a cold light flash in his dim eyes, and he had a rough guess about the situation of the ghost king in white.

In a sense, the difficulties faced by the ghost king in the fourth stage are roughly the same as those faced by the cultivators, and they need to condense the ghost infant.

Once they fail, they usually die on the spot. The only chance to survive is to choose to retreat bravely when refining natural materials and treasures and before the golden elixir is truly broken.

With the enhancement of the treasures that assist in achieving the Nascent Soul, their own cultivation can also go a step further in the Golden Core Stage. Ordinary Golden Core Nine-Level cultivators are not their opponents at all.

However, this situation is extremely rare. For an absolute number of cultivators, they will go all out to get a treasure of high quality to assist in achieving the Nascent Soul. They are willing to try even if they know that the success rate is not high, even at the cost of their own lives.

Therefore, although the existence of the White-clothed Ghost King is powerful, in the eyes of the ninth-level Jindan cultivators, he is actually in a state of contempt and disadvantage.

"Roar"

The words of the old man seemed to touch the most vulnerable part of the White-clothed Ghost King's heart. With a roar, his gentlemanly appearance suddenly changed, and the folding fan in his hand also turned black.

A long triangular tongue spurted out of the mouth of the White-clothed Ghost King and went straight to the old man. The barbs on it also flashed black light with a poisonous light, which was obviously a powerful appearance.

White bone spurs also grew on the black folding fan in his hand, which scattered with the fan and decisively went straight to other cultivators.
