Celestial being

"Fellow Literary Daoist, please stop!" Cui Wuran was shocked. He raised his sleeves and robes, and several white lights fell around him, opening a white barrier light curtain in the private room and shouted.

The red-haired young man turned a deaf ear, his eyes were faintly red, and he seemed to have lost his mind. With a wave of one hand, he smashed the table with a long black whip, and then rolled it towards Yuan Ming again. Several people near Yuan Ming were also whipped. The black flames on his body spread out, and he dodged back in anger.

Yuan Ming frowned, this man was really endless, and waved his sleeves.

The blood light suddenly appeared on the blood-transforming knife, and it turned into a line of blood light and shot out again. In a flash, it arrived in front of the red-haired young man, much faster than before.

The red-haired young man was shocked. His body protection skills were running rapidly, and countless black flames emerged out of thin air, covering his body. A bamboo basket-like magic weapon flashed out from the green shadow in his hand, and he slammed it towards the Blood Transforming Knife.

However, the blood-changing knife suddenly disappeared in a blur, and nine blood-colored flying knives appeared on the top, bottom, left and right sides of his body, all emitting a sharp aura, and stabbed hard at the same time.

The red-haired young man was horrified and didn't know which bloody knife to use the bamboo basket to cover.

With such a moment of hesitation, he had lost his last chance. Nine flying knives stabbed his body. The black fire curtain had no effect at all and was easily penetrated.

"Ah!" The red-haired young man screamed, and all the black flames dissipated from his body. He turned over and fell to the ground, with a bloody hole in his chest.

A sinister force that was ten times stronger than before spread rapidly in his body. Wherever it passed, the young man's body became numb and weak, unable to move.

Everyone in the room looked horrified when they saw this scene, and no one spoke for a long time.

Yuan Ming made a secret to dissipate the soul power wrapped around the blood-transforming knife, dispelling the illusion. The nine blood-knives merged into one, and the blood flew back to his sleeve in a flash.

Fighting is strictly prohibited in the inner city of Shasha City, and killing is even more taboo. He doesn't want to cause too much trouble, otherwise even if he doesn't activate the blood-transforming knife, the blood poison of this knife can easily kill the red-haired young man.

Yuan Ming ignored the red-haired young man and continued to probe into the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness.

"Fellow Literary Daoist!" Cui Wuran hurried over and helped the red-haired young man up.

A bloody halo appeared on the face of the red-haired young man, as if he had used a secret technique to quickly regain his ability to move.

"Your Excellency is very powerful. Wen Mou admits defeat. We will settle this debt later!" He broke away from Cui Wuran's support, took out a green talisman and put it on the wound on his chest, and staggered away.

Yuan Ming ignored this person and his spiritual consciousness was still checking the contents of the jade slip. The other people had nothing to do with him and didn't say much.

One of the two methods recorded in the jade slip is a method of grafting flowers and grafting trees, which is quite mysterious. Using this technique, a demon elixir of a third-level demon beast can be incorporated into the Dantian, and can be used as a golden elixir after being successfully refined. .

This secret method has many restrictions. First of all, the properties of the demon elixir must be exactly the same as those of the monks. If there is any deviation, it will not be successful. Secondly, during the refining process, you need to endure the influence of the residual souls of the monsters in the demon elixir.

As long as you can survive these two levels, you are 70% to 80% sure that you can successfully form the elixir.

However, the golden elixir condensed using this opportunistic method is very different from the real golden elixir. It has no life-extending effect, and there is basically no possibility of breakthrough in the future.

Compared with these two shortcomings, the golden elixir condensed by grafting flowers and trees also has an advantage, that is, the monks can perfectly inherit the power contained in the demon elixir, and even display the magical powers of the demon beast.

The second secret method is relatively normal. It mentions a kind of elixir-cleansing liquid that can cleanse the monk's Dantian, purify the Dantian mana, and make the elixir formation smoother.

However, the jade slip did not indicate where to buy this elixir-cleansing liquid. It only vaguely mentioned that someone had seen it in Purple Thunder City more than ten years ago.

"Purple Thunder City..." Yuan Ming muttered in his heart.

Purple Thunder City is the largest city in the Black Wind Desert area controlled by the Zhao State. It is under the jurisdiction of the Five Thunder Sect. It is more than ten times larger than the Shacheng City, and the level of prosperity is incomparable.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, you just said, which of these two methods is reliable and which is unverified?" Yuan Ming looked at Cui Wuran and asked via voice transmission.

"The more reliable method is the second method of washing elixirs with spiritual liquid. I heard it from Purple Thunder City. As for the method of transplanting flowers and grafting trees, I got it from a corpse and have not verified it." Cui Wuran sent a message back. road.

As soon as he finished speaking, he sent another message, but it was an apology: "Fellow Taoist Yuan, I'm very sorry for what happened just now. That fellow Taoist Literary Treaty is usually quite peaceful, but today I don't know why he went crazy. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter. Can Fellow Daoist Cui tell us the details about the origin of this practice?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Of course you can. When I was hunting monster insects in the Black Wind Desert a few years ago, I accidentally found a rotten corpse underground. There was a storage ring on his finger. There was a cultivation note inside that recorded this method of transplanting flowers and grafting trees. Secret method." Cui Wuran said in a voice message.

Yuan Ming remained silent. The second way was to go to Purple Thunder City for verification. The first theory could not be traced, let alone verified. The key hidden dangers were too great and there would be no breakthrough in the future. This was something he could not accept.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, don't you believe me? I can swear by my inner demons that what I just said is absolutely true. Otherwise, I will be invaded by my inner demons, my cultivation will be ruined, and I will become a mortal!" Cui Wuran said seriously.

Yuan Ming became silent when he heard Cui Wuran's oath. Then he put away the jade slips, picked up the three spiritual materials on the table, and handed them to Cui Wuran.

The transaction quickly continued. Taking advantage of the amazing magical power that Yuan Ming had just displayed, everyone present was somewhat silent, and the atmosphere was far less heated than before.

Yuan Ming remained silent and did not take any further action.

After half an hour, the exchange meeting ended quickly and everyone left.

Yuan Ming stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Cui Wuran's message, saying that they had something to discuss.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, what's the matter?" Yuan Ming asked.

Cui Wuran waved his hand to open a barrier, then took out the three pieces of materials and pushed them in front of Yuan Ming.

"What does Fellow Daoist Cui mean?" Yuan Ming asked after a moment of silence.

"We were in the middle of a transaction just now. If I refuse to accept these three materials, I'm afraid it will affect the progress of the exchange meeting. Cui got those two methods without much effort. How can I accept these three precious materials from fellow Taoist ? What's more, you and I are old friends, and with just two secret methods, I wish you in advance to wish fellow Taoist Yuan to form an elixir." Cui Wuran said with a smile.

When Yuan Ming heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and pushed the three materials back: "Fellow Daoist Cui was joking. The secret technique of assisting in forming pills is so precious. How could Yuan take it away for free? If Friend Cui had another If you have something to say, please speak up."

"Since Fellow Daoist Yuan has seen it, I will tell you frankly that Cui does have something to ask for. These three spiritual materials can be regarded as a meeting gift from me. After the deal is completed, I will also thank you for five thousand spiritual stones." Cui Wuran smiled sarcastically. Then he said seriously.

"Five thousand spirit stones! Fellow Taoist, can you tell me what it is?" Yuan Ming asked with a raised brow.

"It's not a complicated matter. It's just about hunting two monsters. Yuan Daoyou is very powerful and is suitable for this task." Cui Wuran said.

"If we just deal with two ordinary monsters, Cui Daoyou can handle it by himself. Even if he invites others to go with him, he won't pay a high price of five thousand spirit stones. Therefore, what Friend Daoist wants to kill won't be two third-level monsters, right? Yuan Ming took a deep look at Cui Wuran and asked.

"The purpose is to exterminate a pair of second-level and upper-level red gold centipedes. The red gold centipedes are extremely powerful. The combination of male and female can greatly increase their combat power. They are indeed no better than third-level monsters. But Yuan Daoyou doesn't have to worry. This mission It's not just you and me, there are several foundation-building monks participating, and relying on the power of the magic circle to deal with these two demonic insects is not too dangerous," Cui Wuran said.

"Red gold centipede!" Yuan Ming's eyes flashed with a strange light.

The red gold centipede is a metallic demonic insect that can eat hardware. Its body is extremely strong and it is difficult to damage even the best magic weapons. It is one of the most powerful second-level demonic insects in the Black Wind Desert.

He had been in contact with Master Lu during this period, and he mentioned more than once that he wanted the corpses of a pair of red gold centipedes to be used to refine a set of special formation tools.

It's just that the number of red gold centipedes is extremely rare. The last time they appeared was more than ten years ago. Master Lu has placed bounties on several scattered alliances, but no one has completed them yet. Unexpectedly, Cui Wuran found traces of the red gold centipede.

This mission can be tried. If you can get the body of the red gold centipede, you can sell Master Lu a favor and ask him to refine the magic circle in the future.

Even if you don't do this task for Master Lu, you can still do it, and the reward of five thousand spirit stones is already very attractive.

Yuan Ming now has to take the "Zuo Qinghui" controlled by the split soul, which is equivalent to two foundation-building monks practicing together. It consumes a lot of energy. He doesn't have many spirit stones on his body. He only relies on flower branches to hunt monsters and insects to earn spirit stones. Not nearly enough.

"Did Master Lu of Diling Pavilion issue this mission?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Master Lu? Of course not. This is a mission issued by the City Lord's Mansion. It is said that it is hunted for an elder of the Five Thunder Sect in the Danjie stage. The location of the red gold centipede was also provided by them. The City Lord's Mansion has other actions and cannot mobilize experts. , then let us casual cultivators do it." Cui Wuran shook his head in shock.

"Five Thunder Sect!" Yuan Ming's eyes were slightly solemn.

The area where Shacheng City is located belongs to the sphere of influence of the Zhao State. The Black Wind Desert is rich in mineral resources. All the powerful sects of the Zhao State are involved here. The same is true for the Shacheng City. It is controlled by an immortal cultivating sect called the Huangsha Sect in the Zhao State. in hand.

As the number one sect in the Zhao Kingdom, the Five Thunder Sect would naturally not let go of the Black Wind Desert and sent a large number of elders and disciples to garrison here.

Due to the chaos and disorder in the Black Wind Desert, the Five Thunder Sect also implemented an iron-blooded rule here, and directly killed any person or force that challenged them.

With the strength of the Five Thunder Sect and its iron-blooded skills, it has established a prestigious reputation far beyond the outside world. Within the scope of Zhao's influence, the Five Thunder Sect is an emperor-like existence. With a single order, dozens of underground cities can be destroyed. All must obey.

Yuan Ming was silent, if the Five Thunder Sect wanted to hunt down two red gold centipedes, even if he succeeded, the centipede bodies would not fall into his hands. Should he give up this opportunity?
