"Did everyone smell it? What do you think happened?" Lu Feng asked.

"What else can happen? It must have been the previous groups of people who died here. The smell of blood here will be so great. We should find out the reason immediately." Guo Kaifeng said.

Mi Ling said, "I don't think it should be. The previous groups of people have died for several months. Even if they left a bloody smell here before, it should be almost scattered at this time, but the taste here seems to have not scattered at all, which makes people confused."

"We're all here. Don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Just go and have a look." Guo Kaifeng's opinion was still so simple and direct, and he took the first step forward.

The whole underground palace is underground. The stone hall is dark and can't see five fingers. Everyone can only observe a small area nearby by relying on God's mind, just as ordinary people can only see a small area around with a lantern in the dark. Moreover, due to the influence of strength, the mind can not be used all the time. It is not easy to find out the whole stone hall.

Everyone walked forward with difficulty. Suddenly, Guo Kaifeng shouted, "there is a pool here. It seems that the bloody smell is emitted from here."

Did you find the source of the problem? Everyone was so happy that they hurried forward a few steps and came to the pool mentioned by Guo Kaifeng.

Not far in front of them, there was a stone pool several feet wide. The pool was not big, but it was filled with red liquid and gave off a strong smell of blood. Needless to say, the bloody smell in the whole stone hall must be emitted here.

Qingyang looked down carefully. The red liquid all over the pool should be blood. Otherwise, there can't be such a big smell of blood here. It's hard to tell whether these blood is human blood or animal blood. Such a large blood pool needs a lot of blood. Even if it contains animal blood, ordinary people can't do it.

As a monk, I have experienced many life and death feuds and many dead people's tragedies before, but many people can't stand seeing this pool full of blood.

Looking forward, there seems to be a fog in the middle of the pool. Through that fog, you can vaguely see a plant inside. Qingyang recognized it again and again, and then he saw that it seemed to be a lotus root. The rhizome went deep into the blood pool, with two yellow lotus leaves and a lotus canopy on it.

There are seven lotus seeds on the lotus pod. The whole lotus pod has begun to turn yellow and wither, and the lotus seeds are gradually separated from the whole lotus pod and almost mature. Just the lotus root growing in this place, the lotus seeds on it are terrible red, and I don't know whether it is good or bad.

LV Feng looked at the lotus root in the blood pool and asked, "elder martial brother Chen, can you recognize what the lotus root in the pool is?"

After all, LV Feng is younger and inferior to Chen biwang in some knowledge. After thinking for a long time, he didn't think of what the lotus root is, so he had to ask Chen biwang.

Before Chen biwang answered, Guo Kaifeng first said, "the lotus root grown in such an evil place and watered with blood must not be a good thing."

Guo Kaifeng's words didn't get everyone's approval. Chen biwang pinched his beard and thought for a long time before he wondered, "is it the legendary blood lotus root in this pool?"

"What is blood lotus root?" Lu Dingshan asked.

Next to the Qingyang Road, "blood lotus root is a kind of soul that has been lost for a long time in Kyushu. It is said that it grows in the blood pool and grows by absorbing the essence of blood. It can mature in 100 years. One plant bears only seven seeds, and the lotus seed is red and bright like pearls. It is very close to the present scene."

Seeing what Qingyang said, LV Feng was a little interested and asked, "seeing that Qingyang Taoist friend is young, how can he know so much about blood lotus root?"

Qingyang said, "when I was in Qingfeng hall, I liked the art of alchemy. I spent a lot of time looking up various classics and dabbled in many strange spirits."

After hearing Qingyang's words, LV Feng couldn't help brightening his eyes and said, "it turns out that Qingyang Taoist friend is still an alchemist. It's really disrespectful."

Among so many people present, Qingyang's accomplishments are not very high, but his age is the lowest among all people. His future achievements may not be smaller than LV Feng and Chen biwang, so no one underestimates him and regards him as a companion for advancing and retreating together.

However, at this time, they found that they still underestimated the young man. He not only practiced to the third level of Qi refining at a young age, but also a respected Dan master. The alchemy is successful, and the cultivation has not been delayed. More importantly, he is still young, which is too powerful. LV Feng has seen many young talents, but compared with Qingyang, they are inferior.

Not only LV Feng, but also the other three casual practitioners from Yongzhou admire it. If Qingyang is only better than himself in cultivation, they will not be convinced, because with the backing of the seven immortal sects and a little qualification, their achievements will not be too bad. But it's not easy to talk about alchemy. Without talent and hard work, you will never achieve this achievement at a young age.

Lu Dingshan had long known that Qingyang would refine pills. He was not surprised by Qingyang's words, but continued to ask, "what's the use of holding blood lotus roots? He grew in such an evil place and watered with blood. The lotus seeds should also be evil?"

Qingyang shook his head and said, "on the contrary, senior brother Lu, have you ever heard of the saying that out of the mud, you don't dye the clear ripples, but not the demon?"

Lu Dingshan shook his head. He was born in a butcher's house. Where did he learn any poems? It was only after I came into contact with Xiuxian that I learned some words more or less without seeking a deep understanding. The nearby Mi Ling interrupted: "I seem to have heard of it. It seems to be a sentence praising the lotus. It seems to say that the lotus is not polluted in the mud, has noble character and is not mixed."

Qingyang nodded, "this is the meaning. Although the lotus root is planted in the blood and absorbed the essence of blood, it is good stuff to bring lotus seed and lotus root, but it is very useful for our monks, and it does not bring a trace of evil."

After hearing Qingyang's words, everyone suddenly realized that Guo Kaifeng couldn't help asking, "I see. So what's the use of lotus seeds and lotus roots for friars?"

At this time, Chen biwang said: According to ancient records, the lotus seed of the lotus root is a treasure for the monks to exercise their mind. After taking it, they cool their body and mind, suppress the evil spirits, and exercise their mind. They are very suitable for the quick upgrading of the monks. As for the blood lotus root, it is a rare treasure. The blood lotus root grows in the dirty blood and absorbs a lot of blood essence. It is said that it can greatly supplement qi and blood and increase the life span.
