Ascension Through Generations

The two were silent for a moment.

Only then did the man say, "Here's something for you."

After saying that, the other party threw a Nakong Seal.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to take it, his hand sank, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated it. He only felt a strange wave coming, and a golden statue of a hedgehog more than eight feet came into his mind. Condensed into substance.

more importantly……

"What do you want to exchange for, fellow Taoist? If you don't mind, I would like to ask, where did you get this thing from?" Zhao Sheng asked the other party with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Hearing this, the man suddenly said: "You ask me a question, and I just want to ask you a question too. Is that fair?"

"The voice is quite nice, female cultivator? She must be young, right?"

Zhao Sheng muttered secretly, but said: "That's fair. What do you want to ask, fellow Taoist?"

The man hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: "I don't ask you about your origins, nor your surname. I just want to ask one question, why do you have the mark left by the saint of our sect on your body? "

Um? !

Zhao Sheng frowned when he heard this, and a woman in white with an aloof temperament, as pure as a white lotus, instantly appeared in his mind.

"You were so careful, but you still got into the opponent's trap after all. As expected, none of the prisoners in the seventeenth floor of the prison are simple." He sighed inwardly.

Through the black mist, the other party could not see his expression, but seemed to sense the fluctuations in his heart.

The woman immediately asked: "You have seen the saint of our sect recently, right? Where is she imprisoned at this time?"

Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, nodded and admitted, "Yes! Although I don't know which sect you are from, I have probably seen the saint you mentioned."

"Where is she now? As long as my fellow Taoist tells the truth, I, the Tianxin Sect, will definitely reward her generously?"

"You are actually a member of Tianxin Sect. Is your sect resurrected again?" Zhao Sheng felt very surprised.

The Tianxin Sect was once a serious threat to the Tiandao Sect. It was extremely powerful and had been wiped out many times over the past ten thousand years. However, it was always able to rebuild the sect afterwards. Its vitality was even more terrifying than Xiaoqiang's.

It is said that Tianxin Sect has a close relationship with Earth Mother Sect, so it was rebuilt many times.

The woman did not respond directly to Zhao Sheng's question, but persisted in asking about the whereabouts of the saint.

Of course, Zhao Sheng could not tell the truth easily, so he said: "My fellow Taoist's question has been answered, but you haven't answered my question yet. Where did this thousand-year-old hedgehog statue come from?"

Seeing this, the woman answered very simply: "This thing came from a remote county under Songlan Mansion. It has a large number of local believers. Unfortunately, it provoked our sect for no reason. Later, the elders of our sect destroyed the temple and the statue. And it fell into my hands.”

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, "What treasures do you want to exchange for? Cultivation techniques? Spiritual elixirs? Spiritual weapons or others?"

The woman took a step forward, waved her hand, as if she wanted to clear away the dark fog in front of her eyes, and said firmly: "These are no longer important. Now I just want to know the whereabouts of the saint of our sect. As long as my fellow Taoist tells the truth, this The Hedgehog Statue is yours."

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me everything you know about this five-pronged hedgehog god."

"OK!"

The woman agreed, immediately took out a jade pupil slip and put it between her eyebrows, inputting all the relevant information in one go.

After a while, the woman took off the jade slip and gently threw it over.

After Zhao Sheng reached out to catch the jade slip, he said calmly: "Your sect's saint is currently imprisoned on the seventeenth floor of the prison, and she will not die for the time being."

When the woman heard the news, she was surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked: "My friend, when did you see the saint? Can you think of a way to meet her again?"

"Well, there is one price for the information on the meeting time, and another price for sending the letter. To be honest with you, fellow Taoist, I am also a mediator."

The woman was overjoyed when she heard this: "The price is easy to negotiate, and I guarantee that fellow Taoists will be satisfied. If you have a way to rescue the saint, the reward from our sect will definitely exceed your imagination."

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Do you still want the previous information?"

"If you want it, why don't you want it? How about three hundred spirit stones? If you can send a message to the saint, the price can be increased tenfold to three thousand spirit stones!"

There is no reason not to make a deal that comes to you on your own initiative.

Zhao Sheng immediately raised the price: "I have no shortage of spiritual stones. If you can give me another five-passage statue that has withstood thousands of years of incense, or four kinds of spiritual beasts such as snakes, hedgehogs, bats, and toads, I will agree. And the rescue will also be done. It’s not necessarily non-negotiable.

Remember, they are spiritual beasts that can communicate with people. Don’t fool ordinary monsters. "

After hearing this, the Tianxin Sect woman agreed without hesitation. "At most half a month, my sect will definitely deliver whatever fellow Taoist asks for. I don't know where to contact fellow Taoist."

Zhao Sheng smiled and said: "The ghost market is a good place, just stay here. In half a month, the goods will arrive!"

"Just follow what fellow Taoist said. It's settled!"

…

After a while, Zhao Sheng returned to the Bone Chair Forest alone, and the Tianxin Sect woman had already left the ghost market.

As soon as everyone in the ghost city saw the return of the real owner, many people immediately sent word.

Zhao Sheng multitasks, "communicates" cordially with everyone, and often seals a deal in just a few words.

He would not refuse the five-way spiritual beasts and five-way statues. The higher the final number, the greater the choice.

About an hour later, everyone had finished trading.

At this time, someone suddenly lit a stick of incense and said, "The transaction is over. Now you can trade information at will."

As soon as he finished speaking, two people in Tongtong's figure on the scene whispered to each other for a moment. One of them stood up and asked: "I need to know whether Gu Qi, the great elder of the Gu family, has passed away? As long as the information is true, I can give it to you." Exchange it with ten medium-grade spiritual stones.

This person's question seemed difficult, and no one in the room spoke.

After a while, a voice suddenly sounded:

"I don't know if Chief Priest Gu is dead, but I know that the Gu Ancestral Temple is going to undergo major construction work recently."

"Oh, when will the groundbreaking be started? How about five hundred spirit stones?"

"Seven hundred!"

"Okay, let me take a step to talk."

The two of them walked into the fog one after another, and the intelligence transaction continued.

Zhao Sheng watched others speak out one after another, and he also casually threw out a few important "informations", all of which were important secrets related to the major families in Chuguo City.

As soon as this information was released, it immediately aroused the interest of most people.

This also allowed him to successfully complete several transactions, which made him initially famous and opened up an "emerging market."

Today, every monk who can come to the real ghost market has a level of strength no less than that of Foundation Establishment, because those below Foundation Establishment are not qualified to stand here.

Zhao Sheng even vaguely sensed that there were one or two golden elixir master priests hidden among these people.

After the stick of incense burned out, the black mist suddenly thickened, and Zhao Sheng's eyesight went dark.

After the world was spinning, he was already leaning on a red willow tree trunk, and in front of him was a noisy and lively street market.

Zhao Sheng's figure flashed and disappeared instantly.

Half a month passed in a flash.

Zhao Sheng went to the ghost market again and successfully connected with the people of Tianxin Sect in the black fog world.

This transaction was completed smoothly without any glitches. Zhao Sheng accepted the Maoyue White Snake, the Blood-Eyed Green Bat, the Black-armored Hedgehog, and the Black Jade Clam in one go. Their grades were all no lower than the second level. .

However, Tianxin Sect only asked him to bring a messenger talisman to the saint.

…

The seventeenth floor of the divine prison,

The cell was dark, sinister and icy, freezing and deathly silent.

On this day, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of the cell.

"You came!"

A burst of lightning instantly illuminated the dim environment. The woman in white was chained to the cross. She seemed to ignore the severe pain of the thunder and suddenly looked up into the dark corner.

Her messy long hair fell down on both sides, revealing a pale and thin face and a pair of eyes as clear as water.

"Well, I'm here. But you seemed to have lied to me before."

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng, who was covered in black robes, walked out of the darkness and stood a foot away from the woman in white.

Xin Wuyan's eyes lit up and he said with a hint of joy, "You have come into contact with people from my sect."

"I have to say that the secret technique of Tianxin Sect is really powerful. It can actually hide from my spiritual consciousness and five senses. That's right, I not only met the Tianxin Sect members, but also brought something over. Here is the thing, you can see for yourself !”

After saying that, Zhao Sheng had a palm-sized jade white paper talisman in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the jade talisman shot out and accurately landed on the forehead of the woman in white.

The next second, the paper talisman burned out of thin air and instantly turned into a white light that disappeared into the brow of the woman in white.

A smile quickly appeared on Xin Wuyan's face, and his pale face suddenly turned bright red.

"Wu Yan would like to thank my Taoist friends for their help. If I can get out alive in the future, I will repay you for the great favor of my life."

"Well, your identity should not have been really leaked. Otherwise, with the style of the prison, you wouldn't be alive today. I don't want to know what important secrets you carry, but I'm afraid we won't have many opportunities to meet after this matter is settled. If you have anything to tell the Tianxin Sect, just say it! I also did a good deed today and helped you get out of here."

However, what surprised Zhao Sheng was that the woman in white actually rejected his kindness.

"No need! The messenger talisman just sent by fellow Taoist is the greatest joy to me. I have nothing to say."

"Okay! It saves me a lot of trouble. Before I leave, I would like to ask one more question, do you still want to make a deal?"

"Can you get me out?"

"Still saying that, no!" Zhao Sheng said half truthfully.

In fact he could do it, but was unwilling to disrupt his plans to rescue a man.

"Save me out. Whether it's a magical book, a magical elixir, or a fairy and beauty, you can choose! Our sect has the secret technique to overcome tribulations, which can help you advance to the realm of golden elixir." Xin Wuyan shouted.

"Haha! Sorry, I'm not interested."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng's figure turned into nothingness and disappeared out of thin air from Xin Wuyan.

When Xin Wuyan saw this scene, his heart was up and down, and he thought with extreme surprise: "Who is this person? What kind of magical powers and secrets does this person possess? He actually regards all restrictions as nothing, and can come and go freely in the heavily guarded prison. If this is the case, People can join our sect..."

…

"What, say it again?" Prison Lieutenant Ren Zhong looked at the person in front of him in surprise and asked urgently.

Ahem!

Zhao Sheng coughed and said loudly, "Sir, I have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. I hope you will be merciful and give me a chance to build a foundation."

After that, he released a part of his breath slightly, and his whole body's spiritual energy fluctuated, which was basically in line with the performance after completing the Qi refining process.

After careful sensing, Ren Zhong laughed loudly and said, "It's true! Sanbao, you must have been in the Divine Prison for more than thirty years. After all, it is the superior qualifications of the double spiritual roots that can be used in such a dangerous environment. Successfully broke through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. As expected of you!

By the way, have you accumulated enough achievements? "

"Thanks to my lord, I just saved enough two years ago, and I should be able to redeem it for a Blood Spirit Foundation Building Pill."

At this time, Zhao Sheng looked like an old man with a stooped figure and gray hair. It seemed that his long career as a prison guard had destroyed his body early, but he was still very energetic.

"Well, it's a happy event. I won't stop you. If you can be promoted to Foundation Establishment, it will give the people below some hope. After all, the prison guards who have come in over the years are more useless than the others. They are dead. There are too many people, and I will eventually lose my face.”

"I will give you a warrant right away. You should go to the warehouse to exchange for a foundation-building pill. In addition, you will be granted a second-class cave, hoping to increase the chance of success in foundation-building by two points."

"Thank you, sir!"

After coming out of the room, Zhao Sheng straightened his back suddenly, his face as calm as ever, as if the groveling figure just now was just an illusion.

Next, he spent seven or eight days, opening up many joints, and finally successfully redeemed a foundation-building pill, and obtained the right to use a second-class cave for half a year.

No need to elaborate on trivial matters!

Half a month later, Zhao Sheng walked into a training cave in the Ascetic Hall in the southwest of the temple city with the expectations of many prison guards.

Outsiders naturally thought that he was trying to build a foundation, but they didn't know that he was just using this cover to do a major event that had been planned for a long time.

…

In Chu State City, there are 200 feet underground in the Zhao Mansion.

The underground cave that was originally lined with bookshelves now has a large open space in the middle.

The ground of the open space is covered with huge jade slabs, which are engraved with densely packed runes and strange lines.

There are thirty-six white jade spiritual pillars standing around, and the pillars are also covered with runes, and the spiritual light is shining.

In the center surrounded by spiritual pillars, a circular altar stands tall, with a golden hedgehog statue standing in the middle. The altar blooms with clear brilliance, and a golden light appears in the sky. It is the very strong power of incense that almost appears. Vision.

At this time, Zhao Sheng was wearing a robe of the sun, moon and stars, standing behind a bill with a solemn expression.

There are many artifacts such as knives, pens, seals, bells, towers, etc. on the bill, all of which are shining with light and extraordinary charm.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng's whole body was surrounded by Dharma light, and he was walking with ancient and heavy steps. He made countless curse seals with his hands and muttered words in his mouth: "Nine heavens and ten earths, the gods are at your call!... The five-power ghosts and gods, Hedgehog God Kukui quickly Come when called!”

After reciting the order to invite the gods, Zhao Sheng picked up a crystal knife with his right hand and summoned a copper bell with his left hand.

While ringing the bell and releasing bursts of clear sound, he quickly walked out of the bill and came under the statue of the god.

boom!

Zhao Sheng thought, and a huge black shadow fell under the statue. It was a huge hedgehog with black spines as thick as a forest and as big as an elephant.

The crystal knife suddenly turned into a ray of crystal light and chopped off the spirit hedgehog's head. Blood spurted out instantly, like a flood, splashing a large area of ​​the altar.

Zhizhi!

The hedgehog was actually not dead. His head was screaming and a faint demon soul was seen rising from his head.

Zhao Sheng's energy flourished, and his spiritual consciousness burst out. Spiritual imprints suddenly penetrated into the body of the demon soul, and at the same time they were connected with the hedgehog statue.

The next second, the hedgehog demon soul was absorbed into the body by the statue, and the statue suddenly emitted a golden light.

A gust of fragrant wind blew up out of thin air in the cave, and wisps of golden light suddenly condensed. A ball of ethereal divine light appeared from nothingness, and instantly disappeared into the body of the statue.

The statue's eyes suddenly became animated.
