Seeking Immortality

"Fire Cloud Technique!! Quick!!"

As the old man's low shout sounded, the originally strong but calm fire spirit in the air suddenly became violent. It became extremely difficult for Xu Qingfan to release Taoism under the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy. Fortunately, those mutated beasts were also affected by the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy. They became sluggish, otherwise Xu Qingfan and others would really not be able to resist their crazy offensive.

Then, low roars continued to sound from the fire cloud in the sky that covered the sky and the earth. The color of the fire cloud became brighter and brighter, reflecting that the entire sky and earth were red. Then, little bits of fire rain began to slowly fall down from the fire cloud, avoiding the position of Xu Qingfan and others and dripping into the mutant beasts.

Although the red fire rain transformed by each drop of flame is only a small piece, the fire spirit contained in it is huge. The mutated beasts hit by the fire rain are covered in flames and turn into a fire ball. The ground was rolling and wailing. Even the alienated low-level monsters screamed in pain after being hit by the rain of fire.

It was just a few drops at first, but as time went by, the drizzle began to turn into heavy rain, and the heavy rain turned into heavy rain. The drops of fire rain became more and more dense, and the dense raindrops even obscured everyone's vision in the end. The wailing sounds among the mutant beasts became louder and louder. Countless mutant beasts surrounded by flames rolled on the ground. Mutated birds with burning bodies kept falling from the sky. The world seemed to turn into a blazing hell, leaving only The next one is fiery red.

This is the first time Xu Qingfan has seen a master in the Danjie stage perform Taoist magic. Although he has come into contact with many masters who are not inferior to Bowie before, he can only understand two or three points of his physical strength from their power. , but I have never seen them perform Taoism. Now I have finally seen a great master in the Danjie stage perform Taoism. I can no longer express the shock in my heart with words. Such a powerful Taoism can only be described as destroying the world.

The mutated beast that was so majestic just now was so weak in front of Huo Yu, and could only roll helplessly on the ground and howl. The herd of beasts that were boundless just now seemed to be completely destroyed under the constant dripping rain of fire. It seemed only a matter of time before they were completely destroyed.

The performance of the people around him was not much better than that of Xu Qingfan. When Lu Ziqing saw the power of Fire Cloud Technique, he was not only shocked but also looked forward to it leisurely. Shang Nianyao, on the other hand, looked even more sad, as if he was lamenting that he didn't know when he would reach such a state of mastery of Taoism and Taoism. Xu Xiurong's face turned pale, and she looked at the beast rolling and wailing on the ground with a look of pity on her face. What is strange is Hou Wanjun. After seeing the terrifying Taoist technique performed by his master Bao Wei, his face was just silent.

It didn't matter how much time passed during the rain of fire. All I knew was that the wails that still filled the sky at first had slowly subsided, and the seemingly endless rain of fire finally stopped.

When the fire rain finally stopped completely, Bowie shouted again: "Stop!!", and then saw that the flames that were still burning in the earth turned into the purest fire spirit and dissipated between the sky and the earth, and The original scene of the flaming hell finally returned to calm. Coupled with the desolate cool breeze blowing in the southern wilderness, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, as if it was a different world from just now.

When all the burning flames were eliminated by Bowie, the scene on the field finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. They saw corpses strewn across the desolate land of the Southern Wilderness. The mutated beasts that were ferocious just now were all burned by the flames. Turned into mummies, only a few mutated low-level monsters with relatively high vitality were still making low moans. There was a nauseating smell in the air.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Xu Qingfan and others turned pale and their stomachs turned. Xu Xiurong couldn't bear it and ran to the side and vomited.

Bowie's face was also a little pale, but he didn't know whether it was because the "Fire Cloud Technique" he had just used consumed too much spiritual energy or because he felt uneasy after seeing the murderous evil he had created with his own hands. But compared to juniors like Xu Qingfan, Bowie's expression was still very calm, and he just slowly walked up to an alienated monster that was not dead yet, stretched out his spiritual energy and began to explore the cause of the monster's mutation.

The most important thing in his heart now is what Xu Qingfan said about the 'nine transformations of demonization'. If what Xu Qingfan said is true, it means that the demon cultivator has reappeared. This is because the old man who knows the terrifying demon cultivator better The shock caused in the hearts of generations of immortal cultivators is not the slightest bit.

After detecting the spiritual energy and carefully exploring it for a long time, Bowie's face was still solemn, but he seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if unsure, he checked the mutant monsters that were still alive one by one, and then slowly walked back to everyone, his face full of contemplation, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

I don't know how much time passed in Bowie's contemplation. Although everyone's faces were still pale, they had calmed down the turmoil in their chests and abdomens, but they did not dare to interrupt Bowie's thoughts, and just waited quietly. , the world became extremely quiet for a moment, with only the desolate breeze in the southern wilderness silently telling the world's unrest.

"These beasts have been affected by the 'Nine Transformations of Demonization', but there should be no demon cultivators in the southern wilderness." Finally, Bowie seemed to have finally confirmed what he was thinking, and said slowly.

Hearing Bowie's words, Xu Qingfan felt strange. He was about to say something, but suddenly remembered something and fell into deep thought.

"No demon cultivator appeared? But isn't the 'Nine Transformations of Demon Transformation' only available to demon cultivators?" Lu Ziqing asked strangely.

Seeing that Lu Ziqing, Shang Nianyao and others had strange expressions on their faces, while Xu Qingfan was deep in thought, Bao Wei had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He was obviously dissatisfied that his disciples were not as knowledgeable as Xu Qingfan, but he still asked Xu Qingfan Said: "Did Nephew Xu Shi think of it?"

"Senior is referring to the 'Nine Demonic Pearls'?" Xu Qingfan asked hesitantly, but he was not sure. Yue Qingru left behind many books, and Xu Qingfan had been reading a lot over the years, so he was quite familiar with all kinds of anecdotes in the world of immortality.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's answer, Lu Ziqing and Shang Nianyao had a look of surprise on their faces, and looked at Xu Qingfan with admiration in their eyes. A hint of admiration flashed across Bowie's face, and he said: "That's what I thought. You are a person who is good at learning and memorizing. There are not many immortal cultivators like you nowadays."

With that said, Bao Wei glared at Lu Ziqing and the other four dissatisfiedly.

"Senior, you are honored. I am just lucky enough to know some records in this area. I think if I give Senior Brother Lu and the others a little more time, they will remember it. And these are just trivial matters after all. Although I have read more books, I still think that In terms of cultivation and conduct, they are far different than Senior Brother Shang and Senior Brother Lu."

"Hmph~! Even compared to their Taoist cultivation, they may not be your opponents." As he spoke, Bowie glanced at the four whip willow trees still standing around everyone.

"But how do you know, senior, that it's the 'Nine Demonic Beads' that are causing trouble and not a demon cultivator?" Xu Qingfan felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Bowie said and hurriedly asked to change the subject.

"The 'Nine Transformations of Demonization' refers to the method of demonizing nine different species such as humans, immortals, beasts, spirits, insects, and fish, and the 'Nine Magic Beads' are also different according to these nine different types. To be specific, each magic bead can only demonize one species, and its power will be greatly reduced when it demonizes other species. And I think those low-level monsters are not completely demonized, and their strength is not as good as in the records. Strong, I think these monsters were forcibly demonized by a magic bead that demonized other species," Bowie said slowly.

"I see, the seniors are knowledgeable and the juniors admire them." After hearing Bowie's explanation, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt enlightened and said with cupped hands.

"Uncle Bao, what are these 'nine magic beads'? Is it a magic weapon?" Xu Xiurong asked aloud. Although she had recovered from the nausea just now, her face was still pale.

Bowie obviously doted on Xu Xiurong and said to Xu Qingfan: "Niece Xu Shi, tell this girl about the 'Nine Magic Beads'."

"Yes." Xu Qingfan responded and said to Xu Xiurong: "This 'Nine Magic Beads' is not a magic weapon, but a magic weapon. To be precise, it is a fragment of a magic weapon."

"Is it a magic weapon?" After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Xu Xiurong exclaimed softly. When she was surprised, she covered her mouth with her bare hands, looking even more pleasant.

A magic weapon is something that every cultivator dreams of. Its power may not be much stronger than the most powerful high-level heaven-level magic weapon among the magic weapons, but it is essentially different from the magic weapon. First of all, the magic weapon can be changed in no way. It can transform into many forms under the control of the owner; secondly, the magic weapon can independently absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the person who owns the magic weapon only needs a little spiritual energy to drive it; last and most importantly, the magic weapon has simple spiritual consciousness and can automatically protect the owner. , magical and mysterious.

But Xu Qingfan was caught up in the memory of book knowledge, turning a blind eye to Xu Xiurong's charming appearance, and continued: "The 'Nine Magic Pearls' were created by the 'Demon Ancestor' thousands of years ago using the soul essence and blood of millions of people to combine with countless It took hundreds of years for heaven and earth treasures to be refined. At that time, there was a saying that "when the nine beads gather together, nothing can be done about the world." Together, these "nine magic beads" are a very powerful magic weapon. , each magic bead has the power to change one’s character and create magic weapons.”

"Ten thousand years ago, the 'Demon Ancestor' was killed by all the immortal cultivators on the Black Emperor Mountain. However, before he died, he used up all his remaining energy to separate the 'nine magic beads' and threw them all over the world. The immortal cultivators had no time to react. Only four were intercepted, but the remaining five were eventually missing. Before he died, he shouted, "The devil can be destroyed, but the devil's path cannot be eradicated," pointing to these magic beads."

"Seven thousand years ago, the king of a small country in the mortal world accidentally obtained a magic pearl, but he only regarded it as a huge black pearl and placed it on his crown. However, he did not expect that it would be destroyed soon after. This magic bead changed his character. He who could have become a benevolent king began to become evil and easy to kill. Based on the magical effect of the magic bead, he created millions of magic soldiers to invade other countries. Wherever the magic soldiers went, no chickens or dogs were left behind. . Fortunately, it was discovered and stopped by various sects in time, but it still caused great harm to the world. "

"Four thousand years ago, another immortal cultivator in the Void Pill stage accidentally obtained a magic bead. Due to his cultivation level, he was actually changed by the Demon Ancestor. Through successive conspiracies, he obtained the title of his sect. With great power, he killed all the high-level immortal cultivators of the sect, and the low-level immortal cultivators used magic beads to turn into his demon soldiers, calling themselves the "Devil Lord", which also caused a catastrophe in the world of immortality, although in the end it was still The six holy places united to destroy it, but it also caused heavy losses to the world of immortality."

"The six known magic beads have been sealed in the secret places of their respective sects by the six holy places to prevent people with evil intentions from using them to cause trouble. But so far, the whereabouts of three magic beads are still unknown. If If Senior Bao’s prediction is correct, someone in Nanhuang should have obtained the seventh magic bead by accident.”

After hearing Xu Qingfan's explanation, an expression of admiration flashed across Xu Xiurong's face and she whispered: "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu, for your teaching."

"You're too polite, Junior Sister Xu." Xu Qingfan said with a faint smile.

Lu Ziqing, who was standing next to him, had been listening to Xu Qingfan's explanation with a smile, but when he saw Xu Xiurong's admiring eyes when she looked at Xu Qingfan, his smile froze slightly.
