Chapter Thirty Substitute Doll
Back in his small hut, Lin Tianyang began to recall the content that Han Xue had told him earlier and started to carefully comprehend it. For a moment, he even entered a state of self-forgetting because he usually took the Bugu Dan. When Lin Tianyang came back to himself, he found that seven or eight days had already passed.
Lin Tianyang hastily re-entered the Tongtian Tower, looking at the extremely radiant smile of the Tongtian Dao person, and constantly warning himself in his heart that he would never buy anything from him again.
He handed over fifty spiritual stones and Lin Tianyang entered the Tongtian Tower.
A few days later, when Lin Tianyang used the Heaven-Connecting Command to enter the Heaven-Connecting Tower for the sixth time that month, he suddenly found himself in a forest of stone as soon as he appeared.
Lin Tianyang looked around and found that the stone forest was extremely humid, with every rock covered in moss-like plants. Not far away, a blood-crowned snake was coiled on top of a stone pillar.
The Blood Crowned Python was only a mid-tier demon beast, but since he had encountered it, Lin Tianyang didn't show any courtesy and directly slashed his sword at it.
This Blood Crown Python was quite generous, directly blasting out a bottle of Seven Spirit Pellets that were extremely suitable for Refining Qi period sixth to eighth layer cultivators.
Lin Tianyang put away the elixir and suddenly thought of Yi Xiuya, clearly having already decided not to sell it but instead keep it for her use. Adding on the few similar elixirs he had obtained previously, it should be enough to help her cultivation rise to the eighth layer of the Qi Refining stage.
On the rockery above, there were also a few sprigs of emerald shade ginseng. This emerald shade ginseng was an auxiliary medicinal material that greatly enhanced the foundation-building period's cultivation. It seemed that the Blood Crown Python was guarding these few spiritual herbs. Lin Tianyang casually plucked the medicine as well.
After picking, Lin Tianyang was about to leave when he suddenly found himself enveloped in a layer of shadow. Almost subconsciously, he jumped forward and then heard a loud "boom". Turning back, he saw that the stone pillar where he had been standing had turned into a pile of rubble, and next to it stood a giant stone statue over ten feet tall.
Lin Tianyang's eyes stared at this stone giant, and his mouth couldn't help but shout in horror: "Second-level demon beast!"
Before his eyes stood a giant stone golem, the second Tier 2 demonic beast he had encountered since his miserable death under Qing Xiao's hands in Tongtian Tower. Lin Tianyang suddenly felt his breathing quicken.
At this moment, the stone giant moved again, and its two huge stone arms slammed against the ground, causing all the surrounding stone pillars to shake instantly, almost simultaneously rushing towards Lin Tianyang.
Lin Tianyang saw this and immediately rose into the air, the Huo Lin sword and Qing Lei spear simultaneously presented, cutting out a piece of flying sand and walking stones.
Lin Tianyang knew that without the Symbolic Treasure, he absolutely wouldn't be able to contend with a second-level demonic beast equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and immediately threw out his flying magical tool to escape into the air.
The giant stone man seemed to have guessed Lin Tianyang's thoughts, and when he saw Lin Tianyang trying to escape, he immediately smashed the ground again. In an instant, a series of stone spikes burst out from the ground, forcing Lin Tianyang to take out his turtle shell shield to block them. The flying artifact that was thrown out was directly destroyed by the stone spikes.
Lin Tianyang fell back to the ground, but the stone giant didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. For the third time, it pounded the ground, and those stone stalactites-like spikes directly emerged from underground, instantly rushing towards Lin Tianyang again.
Hundreds of stone bamboo shoots came towards him at the same time, with an extremely majestic momentum. Lin Tianyang saw that he might not be able to block them, and a fire of anger rose in his heart. He simply didn't resist, but instead took out the bronze gong mirror and shone it on the giant stone man.
This was originally Lin Tianyang's helpless choice to make the Stone Giant pay a price even if he himself died, but what Lin Tianyang did not expect was that when a white light shone on the Stone Giant's body, the Stone Giant actually let out a strange and painful howl, and those earth thorns under its control suddenly lost control and fell to the ground.
Lin Tianyang was greatly surprised by this scene, but at this time he couldn't think much, not only did the mirror continue to shine on that stone giant, but also rang the copper gong, and the stone giant seemed to have suffered a great blow, rolling around on the ground without any resistance.
Lin Tianyang saw this and tried to sacrifice the Huo Lin sword to slash at him. What Lin Tianyang did not expect was that the Huo Lin sword easily beheaded the stone giant's stone head, and soon after, the stone giant turned into a ball of white light.
Lin Tianyang couldn't believe that he had actually killed a second-level demon beast with cultivation equivalent to the early stage of foundation building. Among the second-level demon beasts he knew, none had ever been completely defeated by his damaged spiritual sense artifact with just two flashes. Could it be that this second-level demon beast's weakness was its extremely fragile spiritual sense? Lin Tianyang felt that only this could explain it.
As soon as the white light disappeared, Lin Tianyang immediately flashed to where the white light had disappeared, and saw that a box was left on the ground.
As soon as he saw that it was a box, Lin Tianyang knew that it definitely wasn't the Foundation Establishment Pill. However, thinking about what the Old Daoist of Tongtian had said - that if he could kill a demon beast beyond his level, he would obtain something unexpected - Lin Tianyang still felt somewhat expectant as he picked up the box.
The box wasn't big, only about a foot long and half a foot wide. The style was quite antique. With an excited heart, I gently opened the box, but inside, to my surprise, was a rag doll!
"What is this thing?" Lin Tianyang looked at the doll, really couldn't make head or tail of it.
He took out the rag doll directly, looked at it carefully, and found that except for this rag doll which seemed to contain some spiritual power, he couldn't see any other use for it. After thinking about it, he could only wait until they went out to ask Tongtian Lao Dao.
It's also unknown if it's true that great difficulties must be followed by good fortune, but in the following period of time, Lin Tianyang surprisingly found five more rare Purple Ape Flowers. Adding these to the three he had previously found, he now has twelve Purple Ape Flowers on him. This way, he will have a better grasp on refining enough Foundation Establishment Pills.
After leaving the Tongtian Tower, Lin Tianyang immediately took out the box and opened it, asking: "Tongtian Daozhang, do you know what this thing is?"
"Proxy doll! You actually managed to slay a level 2 demonic beast?" Tian Tian Lao Dao exclaimed as soon as he saw it, immediately recognizing the name of the doll, and was extremely surprised that Lin Tian Yang could produce such an item.
Lin Tianyang didn't deny it directly, saying: "I did kill a Stone Giant, but I was extremely lucky. That Stone Giant seemed to have an extremely fragile divine sense, and after being hit by the new magical artifact you refined in the Alchemy Furnace a few times, its strength was greatly reduced!"
Tong Tian Lao Dao listened and said with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Hehe, that's indeed fortunate, but not all high-level demon beasts have weaknesses that are so easy to find!"
" Weakness?" Lin Tianyang heard this sentence, as if he suddenly thought of something. Suddenly he understood why every layer in the Tongtian Tower would have a powerful demon beast that exceeded the strength of that layer.
