Chapter 2205: spokesperson

If Baili Wuya was present and could sense the aura emanating from the red apron boy Hongyu, he might be so excited that he would tremble all over.
Because even a hint of aura emanating from the red jade can greatly nourish the primordial spirit, and the purity is much higher than that of the soul jade.
In fact, Hongyu and Soul Jade Essence do have a deep connection. To be precise, he was born from Soul Jade Essence.
Below Longyabai, there is a soul jade ore of extremely high purity, and the periphery is naturally ordinary soul jade, which also has a certain effect of warming and nourishing the soul. Even ordinary soul jade, because of its high purity, is also extremely valuable, but for a powerful cultivator like Luo Xing Ancestor, ordinary soul jade is basically useless.
In the center of the Soul Jade Mine, the Soul Jade Essence began to emerge. This was also the biggest goal of Baili Wuya's trip. Unfortunately, he didn't find any clues here.
At the core of the Soul Jade Mine, there is an extremely precious Soul Chalcedony.
This red apron boy Hongyu, his body is the soul chalcedony in the core of the soul jade mine.
After tens of thousands of years of changes, this soul chalcedony gradually developed intelligence. With the continuous increase of cultivation, it can also begin to transform into a human form, and it often appears in the image of a boy wearing a red apron.
In fact, the case of ruby ​​is very rare, and many conditions need to be met at the same time. For example, the purity of the soul jade ore must be extremely high, only in this way can the conditions for the birth of the soul jade ore exist at the core; in addition, the soul jade ore needs to be relatively secretive, if it is often mined, the soul chalcedony will naturally not evolve; the most important thing Yes, the environment around the Soul Jade Mine must be suitable in all aspects.
For example, this Soul Jade Mine can absorb the breath of life all year round because it is located under the Longyabai. In addition, the soul jade itself is a mineral that assists the primordial spirits, and it is relatively easier to generate spiritual wisdom.
In short, it is all kinds of coincidences that have the current Ruby.
Speaking of which, Ruby was able to be born, thanks to the dragon tooth cypress above the Soul Jade Mine. However, after Soul Chalcedony gave birth to Lingzhi, an irreconcilable contradiction appeared between Hongyu and Longyabai.
On the branch of the tree, the white-haired old man sitting opposite the red jade was the illusion of the primordial spirit of Longyabai.
Laobai and Hongyu have been fighting for thousands of years.
The reason is also very simple.
After Hongyu acquired spiritual wisdom, he quickly cultivated a powerful Yuanshen Soul. The jade essence has a great nourishing effect on the Yuanshen, and the body of Hongyu is even more pure than the soul jade essence. Chalcedony, so he is very powerful in Yuanshen. But with the passage of time, Hongyu was no longer satisfied with the primordial spirit state, and he longed for a perfect body.
Hongyu's Primordial Spirit is very powerful, and the physical body he needs is naturally not something that can be obtained by just looking for a cultivator to take the house.
The Longya cypress growing above the Soul Jade Mine happens to have such conditions. The body of Longya cypress seems to be very sturdy, and the diameter of its trunk even reaches several kilometers, but its real core is a small section of tree core. The core of the cut tree contains the essence of life that has been condensed by Longya cypress for tens of thousands of years. It can be said that even a small piece of the core is worth a lot. The flesh and bones of the living dead are simply the most basic operations. Cover the size of the tree core, and taking it directly can instantly upgrade your physical body to a higher level.
Such a tree core is naturally the best material for Ruby to build its own body.
If there is a flesh body refined from the core of a tree, coupled with his incomparably powerful Primordial Spirit, Hongyu's strength can instantly increase to a terrifying level.
The most important thing is that although he can use his Primordial Spirit state to act now, he cannot stay away from the underground soul chalcedony, so the scope of his activities is actually very limited.
And once he succeeded in refining the body, he could completely integrate the soul chalcedony into the body, and then let him wander freely.
Freedom is very attractive to anyone.
Especially for someone like Hongyu who has been underground for tens of thousands of years, the desire for freedom can be said to be beyond everything.
Therefore, even if the dragon tooth cypress actually played a positive role in promoting the birth of soul chalcedony, the red jade still began to seek the core of the dragon tooth cypress thousands of years ago.
Of course, the core of the Longya cypress is protected by the old cypress at the core of the trunk. The red jade is only a primordial body, and it is definitely impossible to directly capture the core of the tree.
Therefore, what Hongyu has done for thousands of years is actually to capture Longyabai's soul orb.
The soul bead condenses the power of the Yuanshen Longyabai, if the soul bead is swallowed by the ruby, the dragonyabai will actually fall, leaving only the huge tree body, but it has no wisdom.
At that time, Ruby can easily take out the core of the tree and make an ideal body for herself.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the battle between Hongyu and Laobai has been centered on the soul orb.
Although Longyabai has also lived for tens of thousands of years, he has existed since the spirit world era, but his biggest shortcoming is that he cannot move.
Ordinary tree demons are difficult to move, let alone a dragon tooth cypress with such a huge body.
Therefore, Longyabai couldn't avoid Hongyu at all, and could only passively fight.
At the beginning, the two fought directly, not just the collision between the primordial spirit and the primordial spirit. If it was just a test of the primordial spirit, even if Longyabai was born 20,000 years earlier than Hongyu, he would still be at a disadvantage, because his soul Chalcedony itself is naturally powerful in terms of primordial spirit, so ruby ​​can suppress Laobai in terms of primordial spirit, but Laobaisheng has a huge root system, and his body is extremely hard, and ruby ​​also has shortcomings, then That is, the Soul Jade Mine is located below the Longyabai, completely within the coverage of the Longyabai root system.
Therefore, Lao Bai suffered many losses in the Primordial Spirit competition, but he relied on his huge root system to continuously erode the Soul Jade Mine, and even mined a lot of Soul Jade Essence to nourish his damaged Primordial Spirit.
Here, Lao Bai's Primordial Spirit was damaged by the red jade, so he went to excavate the Soul Jade Essence, and then replenished his Primordial Spirit.
And Hongyu naturally focuses on using Yuanshen's opponent's battle method, but at the same time, he is also very thief in the process of confrontation, constantly absorbing the life essence of Longyabai, and infiltrating the core of the tree little by little. Therefore, although he will lose some Soul Jade Essence, the life essence absorbed can accelerate the birth of Soul Jade Essence.
The battle between the two maintained a strange balance.
Of course, this balance is only on the surface, in fact, the scale of victory is tilting slightly towards Ruby.
Because although the process has been maintained in a relatively balanced state, Ruby has been infiltrating the core of the tree. Although this process is very slow, one day he can completely penetrate into the core of the tree.
In that case, the massive amount of life essence will be stolen by Ruby. The fundamental purpose of his plotting the tree core is actually for the life essence.
But this process will be very long, so that Hongyu himself can't stand the fight between the two for thousands of years, and the penetration of Hongyu into the core of the tree is only about 10%, even if it is in the later stage, the penetration speed will be faster. , but it will take at least 20,000 to 30,000 years for him to achieve his goal.
The time mentioned here is the time of the spirit world, that is, the time of the outside world of the spirit market. If the time flow rate difference is taken into account, this time is also multiplied by ten times.
This was unacceptable to him.
As for Lao Bai, if Hongyu is allowed to infiltrate like this, he will eventually be a dead end. Although the process will be lengthy, the outcome will not change.
Lao Bai naturally couldn't accept such an ending.
Both of them are dissatisfied with this situation, and a third-party factor is needed to break the game.
The monks of Lingxu discovered the ruins of the Qingping world and began to explore the ruins. Especially later, the monks of Lingxu changed to regularly explore the ruins, and in order to maintain the stability of the ruins, they only sent monks in the Yuanying period to explore.
This is the condition for breaking the game.
One was unwilling to spend a lot of time on this matter, and the other did not want to sit still, so the two finally reached a compromise and agreed on a gambling condition.
The agreement on gambling is actually not complicated. Lao Bai selects a monk in the Yuan Ying period from Lingxu to play against Hongyu. The winner gets all the chess pieces. The chess pieces on both sides are trophies. The chess pieces on the Ruby side are directly made from the highest purity Soul Jade Essence, and the Longyabai side even separates out some tree cores to make chess pieces.
It can be said that what they have come up with is what the other party is eager to get.
And in this way, it also greatly speeds up the process of winning and losing.
As for the two of them not playing directly, but Lao Bai chooses a spokesperson to represent him to play against Hongyu. The reason is very simple. Hongyu's chess skills are much worse than Lao Bai's. The two played ten games and he even won one game It is difficult, a bet that is destined to lose, unless he is a fool, he will definitely not agree.
And Lao Bai is on the weaker side, so naturally he can only accept this unfair gambling agreement.
After all, he didn't know the cultivators of Lingxu at all, so he could only make a rough judgment based on the strength of the opponent's spiritual power. As for the strength of the cultivation base, it was not particularly important.
Of course, Lao Bai can also choose to refuse to gamble, but the result of this is that he will be completely swallowed by Hongyu in the end, and it is nothing more than lingering longer.
Therefore, every time the monks of Lingxu entered the Qingping world to explore the ruins, there would be monks inexplicably missing in the Longyabai area of ​​the Hedong grassland.
It's just that the cultivators of Lingxu have explored the ruins of the Qingping world all the time, and the casualties have been very heavy, and the number of people who disappeared in the Hedong grassland is unknown, so it has not attracted the attention of the outside world.
This unequal treaty made by Hongyu has a good effect.
Before this time, they had wagered a total of eight times, and Hongyu won 8-0, but the Lingxu cultivator did not win even once.
The Lingxu cultivator who lost the game naturally became the nourishment of Longyabai, and there was no chance to leave here alive.
Over the past few hundred years, each time Longyabai lost, his strength dropped by one point. If he loses again this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to maintain a balanced situation.
This has indeed greatly accelerated the process of the two sides separating the results.
Hongyu is not worried that Lao Bai will stop gambling. If Lao Bai wants to die, he would never agree to bet hundreds of years ago. This is his only hope.
This time, the ruins of the Qingping world have just opened, Xia Ruofei was even the first group of monks to come to the Longyabai area, Laobai directly chose Xia Ruofei as his spokesperson for this competition, which made Hongyu a little surprised.
The monks in Lingxu have explored the ruins so many times, and Hongyu also understands some laws. He knows that the monks who come in later will be much stronger, while the first few batches are not satisfactory.
Hongyu didn't expect Lao Bai to choose Xia Ruofei so decisively this time, so he would ask if Lao Bai had broken the jar.
However, since Lao Bai had made a choice, Hong Yu would naturally not interfere, especially when he saw that Lao Bai couldn't control his emotions, he felt even more happy, which showed that he was getting closer and closer to victory.
Ok! If you win the Lingxu cultivator this time, you can launch an all-out attack on the old cypress. Maybe the next time the Lingxu cultivator enters the ruins, the Longya cypress will be completely lifeless!
At this time, Lao Bai said coldly: "Old rules, you decide how to play the game, but you have to give me a day to guide the monks in Lingxu!"
This rule has always been followed in so many competitions.
Back then, there were various ways to play games in the spiritual world, and after the monks of Lingxu came in, they also brought some fresh chess games. chess is even worse.
For Longyabai, he only needs to learn the rules, and he will soon be able to surpass Hongyu in chess.
However, considering that Lingxu cultivator's chess skills are highly uncertain, the two parties also agreed that Lao Bai could guide the Lingxu cultivator for one day, and the official competition would begin the next day.
