Just when Chen Dengming and Zhu Xun settled in Juelin City, Nangong Yun's master, foundation-building monk Yue Kun in the Eastern Region Yingyue Sect, had also read through the detailed events before and after his disciple's death, and immediately caught some differences. An ordinary message.
"Chen Dengming, the casual cultivator who was once selected from Nanxun together with Nangong Yun, actually designed to kill Nangong Yun who went to look for him?"
"It can't be said to be a design, but an accident caused by Shui Yin Mu Yu Poison Gu. This person is actually a high-level Qi practitioner? How could it be so fast?"
Yue Kun's eyes flashed with confusion, and he immediately raised his hand, and a jade slip flew from the room and fell into his hand.
The jade slips record all information about the two people selected at the first Immortal Conference.
"Chen Dengming Nanxun is a seventh-level innate mortal with spiritual roots of metal and wood, which are in conflict with each other. His spiritual energy affinity is close to the middle level. He is calm and decisive. His life span is three to eighty. His potential is not good. He is addicted to Yan Dan and has mastered the side-door Gu technique.
On that day, the five envoys took out the "Life-Destroying Art of Uprooting Seedlings", "Big Fire Ball Art", "Golden Touch", "Wood Escape Art", Qingqi Pill, and "Three Yuan Spirit Gathering Art" to trade with them."
""The Art of Destroying Lives and Destroying Seedlings".?"
Yue Kun took the jade slip away, his eyes flickered, and he narrowed his eyes, thinking about the possibilities.
But after a while, he shook his head in doubt, "It's impossible. This Chen Dengming has a lifespan of eighty-eighty years. Even a long-lived person cannot practice the "Life-Destroying Art of Pulling Out Seedlings" to such a high level, and his qualifications are also incompetent. There are too many changes to make it difficult to reach a high level of Qi training so quickly.
Could it be that they made a mistake and it was another monk named Chen Dengming who killed Nangong? "
No matter how you speculate, this matter is full of doubts.
Yue Kun stood up and walked around the room, frowning deeply.
If it were just Nangong Yun, he would be dead if he died.
This man has proven himself to be of little value, and he will not bother to care about him even if he dies.
But now, a strange Chen Dengming has been involved, who is suspected to be a high-level Qi practitioner.
It's true that the same rice feeds all kinds of people.
They all came from the same place and had different life experiences. Nangong Yun obviously had a better cultivation environment, but Chen Dengming was actually stronger.
Even though there is still a lot of information that cannot be determined at all, Yue Kun still feels that there may be something weird in it.
However, it is a pity that Chen Dengming, who killed Nangong Yun, has already left Mingyuefang and is missing. Finding this person is not easy.
"It's not easy, but I have to give it a try. There are many doubts about this matter, and I'm not sure whether it's true or not. There's no need to alert the ancestors immediately. I'll go and see for myself first."
After a few days, it officially entered the early autumn season.
Among the many trapezoidal spiritual fields in Juelin City, many spiritual farmers are already busy with the autumn harvest. The smell of mature spiritual plants is everywhere in the mountains and plains, making the mountain breeze seem particularly light and fragrant.
On the plain outside the city, pines and cypresses are as green as flowing water, and red leaves are as red as fire.
Between the golden wild mulberries and neem trees, a pig-like monster with the fourth level of Qi training jumped around in panic, screaming like a slaughtering pig along the way.
However, the murderous aura behind him followed him like a shadow, neither increasing nor decreasing. No matter how the pig demon fled, it was always threatening from behind.
How did the pig demon know how powerful this was, so he had to keep running away.
But no matter how it rushes from left to right, there will always be a big fireball or a golden gun shooting at it, limiting its range of activities.
"Roar--"
The pig demon became impatient and let out a roar, intending to forcefully carry the fireball to break out.
But at this moment, a golden thread flew over like lightning and hit the pig demon hard.
With a 'bang' sound, the pig demon was nearly knocked over to the ground by the huge force, and its hooves were dazed.
The golden thread buzzed back into the air, but it turned out to be a dark golden golden silkworm Gu that was even larger than the ordinary golden silkworm Gu. The bloody lines on the tail were particularly obvious, giving it an evil aura.
The pig demon gradually became exhausted, panting heavily, drooling from its fanged mouth, and even a few filthy objects fell out from behind its buttocks, as if it was frightened to the point of urinating.
At this time, a figure also swept down from the tree behind.
The person who came was holding a branch in his hand, and suddenly the branch burst open and turned into countless flying mycelium spores, which enveloped the pig demon with just one finger.
The pig demon let out a scream, and the last bit of strength to struggle was taken away. A large number of poisonous mycelium spores grew into the flesh and blood, gradually controlling it.
…
After a cup of tea.
The pig demon stood up panting and walked in front of Chen Dengming with weird steps. The flesh and skin all over his body seemed to be convulsing, making him look a little crazy and weird.
"After losing the energy in its body in advance, it consumes much less spiritual energy to control it, and its resistance is also reduced.
It seems that when fighting with others in the future, this Water Yin Wood Yu Poison Gu technique must be used as a back-up, and it is best not to use it at the beginning."
Chen Dengming moved his fingers slightly, controlling the pig demon to take two enchanting steps, then flew up and stood on the pig demon's back.
I waved my hand casually, and several buzzing sounds came from the distant mountains and forests.
In an instant, several golden threads followed by a red thread flew through the air like ribbons, surrounding Chen Dengming's left and right shoulders.
But it turned out to be three Golden Silkworm Gu No. 1 to No. 3 and the Blood Centipede Gu.
The Blood Centipede Gu now has six wings, and a row of five poisonous needles that are curved like scorpion tail needles grow from its tail. Its pupils are deep red, its poisonous pincer-like mouthparts are filled with blood, and its bloodthirsty eyes are staring at it eagerly. Holding a pig demon.
"This end is not for you to eat. Please bear with me. Don't go after your ass and chew it. Last time, if you took a bite of that end, I would have saved a dozen low-grade spiritual stones."
Chen Dengming waved his hand and drove away the blood centipede.
Two days ago, the Blood Centipede Gu and the Golden Silkworm Gu had completed their promotions and became much stronger.
The Golden Silkworm Gu can knock out ordinary mid-level Qi-training monsters by just hitting it with its iron head. If it uses its mouth again, it doesn't need to use the strongest toxin. It can tear and penetrate the prey with just one sprint. Killed.
Although the power of a blood centipede Gu is not that strong, the poison is even more terrifying, perhaps even more powerful than the golden silkworm Gu. The body is not as fragile as it once was, and its vitality is undoubtedly much stronger. .
After putting all the Gu insects into the beast control bag, Chen Dengming controlled the pig demon to carry him, galloping towards Juelin City, transforming into a pig-riding Taoist friend, further consuming the pig demon's strength and speeding up his Taoist practice.
After settling down in Juelin City, Chen Dengming has been able to go out of the city to practice Taoism after completing his daily practice in the past few days.
During this period, in addition to continuing to study the mysterious way of martial arts, he also mainly practiced the "Water Yin Wood Yu Poison Gu Technique", an advanced qi training method.
Try to practice this technique to a proficient level as soon as possible, so that it can be used instantly in battle.
However, practicing high-level qi training requires too much spiritual energy, and casting spells is also very difficult, and requires specific casting materials "fresh branches".
This also leads to the fact that Chen Dengming's efficiency in practicing this method will not be fast.
There are few trees in Juelin City, so Chen Dengming basically goes out of the city to practice Taoism.
Now that he has practiced "Shui Yin Mu Yu Poison Gu Technique" to the entry level, his life span has been increased by another five years, and his life span is as high as 402 years.
"After practicing till now, I think it is very difficult to continue to extend my life. All the Tao methods that can extend my life have reached the level of proficiency and master. If I continue to improve, I have to practice diligently.
For example, if you want to practice the art of traveling qi into gold and alchemy to a master level, it will take too much energy and time."
Chen Dengming knew that if he wanted to continue to extend his life quickly, he would have to learn new and more advanced Taoism.
But for the time being, there are still more than a hundred years of good life, so there is no need to be too anxious.
If in the next fifty or sixty years, he cannot solve the problem of bone age, cannot join the Immortal Sect, and cannot break through the foundation building on his own, then he will have to start worrying.
"Gah——"
When approaching Juelin City, Chen Dengming controlled mycelium to infiltrate into the heart and brain, killing the pig demon with "bloodless".
Then he put the body into the storage bag and walked into the city.
Spirit House Residential Area.
Chen Dengming threw the newly captured pig demon in the yard and handed it to Zhu Xun to deal with later.
"Another demon pig with the fourth level of Qi training. Doesn't it mean that the number of demonic beasts near Juelin City is very rare?"
Zhu Xun picked and looked at the pig demon, muttering doubts, and even had the idea of going out to resume his old career.
"Perhaps the last quarrel between the Liang family and the Yu family caused an increase in the number of monsters nearby. For the time being, none of the guarding monks in Juelin City have gone out to deal with it."
Chen Denming said calmly.
In the past few days, he had gone out to practice Taoism, and including this demon pig, he had already hunted two demon beasts.
This frequency is not unusual in the mountains and forests near Mingyuefang.
But in Juelin City, it is very rare. Juelin City claims that there are no monsters wreaking havoc within a hundred miles around.
But when Chen Dengming mentioned the two immortal cultivating families, Zhu Xun suddenly understood.
A lot of people died outside the city a while ago. If no one takes care of the corpses, they will attract monsters to eat them.
The guarding monks of Juelin City may not be unaware of the presence of monsters outside the city, but they may also intend to use the mouths of monsters to clean up the corpses, so they have not left the city to encircle and suppress them for the time being.
Zhu Xun clicked his tongue and shook his head and said, "Fishing, the guarding monks in Juelin City are all a bunch of fishing guys. They are really good at fishing. It seems that now is the stage of making nests. After attracting all the fish, they will cast the net." "
Monsters eat people, and people eat monsters. This seems to be a cycle.
The number of monster beasts gathered by Juelin City's guarding monks and others has increased. Once they are all captured, a large amount of monster meat resources have been accumulated in an instant. Many things will make people shudder if they are told too clearly.
"How did you go about finding someone?" Chen Dengming changed the subject.
Zhu Xun stood up, clapped his hands, frowned and shook his head, "I have contacted several local snakes in the past few days, but there are no clues. There is a high probability that Fellow Daoist Jiang is not in Juelin City.
They all said that there were too many monks coming in and out of Juelin City every day, and it was still difficult to find a casual cultivator.
If Fellow Daoist Jiang can live in Juelin City, they will be able to find him, because most of the monks who come to Juelin City are passers-by, and very few can stay for a long time, so they will definitely be able to find him."
"It seems that Qiangzi is not in Juelin City."
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, expecting this result.
"However, a local snake joked that a capable person like Daoyou Jiang who can make array disks is not very strong. Once he shows his talent, he will probably be controlled and taken away by the people in the parade."
"Parade?"
"They are the same group of people who sold the women of the Yu family in Fang City before. They are specifically responsible for this business.
The female members of the Yu family left behind by the Liang family were all packaged and handed over to the Parade Club for processing, and they were responsible for controlling, training, and then packaging the transactions to customers."
Chen Dengming's eyebrows were furrowed. Thinking of Qiangzi's ability to escape and his cleverness, he felt that he would not fall into the hands of the people at the parade, and he immediately felt relieved.
"It's better to pay more attention to this matter. After dealing with this pig demon, if you want to go out of the city to hunt monster beasts, just take advantage of the recent excitement and pay attention to safety."
"Okay, Brother Chen Dao, don't worry. By the way, this is the spiritual stone that was used as the magic weapon last time."
"Huh? It's selling well."
Chen Dengming was a little surprised when he received dozens of low-grade spiritual stones. He thought that the recent incident with the Yu family would cause the price of the magic weapon business in Fang City to drop.
Zhu Xun proudly said, "Hey, I have my own way to sell it at a higher price."
Chen Dengming smiled and shook his head inwardly, thinking that this was not the only thing about Lao Laozhu, but it would be brighter if given a little sunshine.
If this batch of magic weapons were handed over to Hadron for sale, the strong algorithm that has gone through many business experiences would definitely sell for a higher price.
While Zhu Xun was going to deal with the pig demon, Chen Dengming counted the time and found that there were still at least two hours before the start of the Qile Auction House secret room tonight.
He immediately returned to the room, prepared a fragrant soup that nourished the spirit body for the little spirit, sent the little spirit to take a bath, and then began to practice in the style of hiding in a golden house.
After many times of nourishment, the spirit body of the little formation spirit seems to have become much more solidified, and its range of perception has become wider and more acute. It can dance all day long without getting tired.
Such strong energy has also made Chen Dengming's bold cultivation idea stronger and stronger, and he has begun to inquire about some techniques suitable for ghost cultivation for the little formation spirit.
However, this world of cultivating immortals is very complicated, and the rare ghost cultivation techniques that are talked about are his own techniques, and it is difficult to solve it if he wants to get better.
Such red makeup and green sleeves dancing in neon clothes...
More than an hour passed quickly.
The proficiency of "Three Yuan Spirit Gathering Technique" has improved a bit.
In the panel, the state of the skill changes.
""Three Yuan Spirit Gathering Technique": (Ninth Level 207/900)"
Judging from the current progress of cultivation, even the resources of the 'treasure land' in the 'Wealth Couple Land' are stronger.
If he wants to reach the tenth level of Qi training, living in Juelin City for a month will definitely not be enough.
If the problem of bone age still cannot be solved after a month, Chen Dengming plans to renew his lease in Juelin City, preparing to break through the foundation building on his own.
Putting the formation disk away, Chen Dengming changed his clothes and prepared to go to the dark workshop.
This darkroom transaction was regarded by him as the most promising opportunity in recent times to solve the current predicament.
According to the shopkeeper of the Merchant Alliance, some items that are difficult to sell on the surface may be sold in the secret shop.
For example, high-level Taoist methods for Qi training, exercises with more than 50% spirit-gathering effect (30% of the Three-Yuan Spirit-Gathering Technique), body-building exercises that can make bones younger, etc.
Chen Dengming was about to pick up a breath-collecting bead in his mouth, thought for a moment, and then put the bead down.
Now that he has changed his name and appearance, his acting style is also different from before. He has transformed into a suspected demon monk 'Gao Hu' who is not easy to mess with, and he has to continue to act in this style on weekdays.
evening.
At the back door of Qile Auction House, some figures wearing black cloaks, hats, or masks appeared one after another.
Almost all of these people exuded a faint spiritual power. After they appeared, they were immediately welcomed in by the greeters standing at the back door of the auction house.
Chen Dengming was wearing a fierce evil ghost mask at this time.
After handing over the invitation letter given by the boss of the business alliance, he followed an innate greeter and entered the entrance passage of the dark workshop.
"Master Immortal, please come in and sip some spiritual tea first and sit for a while. The official start time of the dark workshop will be in half an hour."
Under the guidance of the greeter, Chen Dengming entered a hall. Immediately, a pretty woman wearing a butterfly mask presented exquisite melon and fruit tea for people to taste.
Chen Dengming drank tea in silence while observing the situation around him.
You can see that there seems to be a phantom array in the dimly lit, cold-toned hall.
There were monks being welcomed in and seated one after another from all around, but most of them couldn't see their specific features, and they could only see vague and hazy figures.
"This kind of illusion formation should be the simplest blind formation. Jiang Qiang can also make it."
Chen Dengming observed for a moment, then closed his eyes and waited leisurely for the dark workshop trade fair to begin.
…
Half an hour passed quickly.
As the door of the hall closed, the entire hall suddenly became brighter.
An old man who looked very eye-catching wearing a golden cassock descended from the upper passage. He exuded strong spiritual power and clasped his fists in all directions with a smile.
“Welcome all fellow Taoists to attend the dark workshop held by our Qile Auction House.
The old Jin Mufeng will still be here to preside over transactions for you. If there are any new Taoist friends, please be aware of the rules of this secret shop transaction. For any commodity, the one with the highest price will get it. You will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. You will not leave this trade meeting at all. irresponsible.
During the transaction process, you are not allowed to leave your seat, and you are not allowed to ask or test the identity of others. Anyone who violates this will be expelled."
Chen Dengming opened his eyes, looked at the powerful old man in front of him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This old man is actually a monk with the tenth level of Qi training, which can be said to be the strongest level of strength under the foundation.
Having this old man personally presiding over the dark workshop has indeed added a lot of prestige and security to this trade fair. This is probably why the dark workshop has become more and more popular.
Soon, as Jin Mufeng announced that the trade fair had officially begun, the surrounding lights dimmed again, and a cold voice spoke first.
"I have nothing to sell this time. I just want to buy a kind of Gu called Golden Silkworm Gu. This Gu looks like a cicada. It is not very powerful alone. When in groups, it is quite tyrannical. I once saw one in the sect. A female cultivator has used it, I wonder which Taoist friend has golden silkworm Gu in his hands?"
Chen Denming was startled, and then his eyes turned strange.
Unexpectedly, someone asked for golden silkworm Gu from the beginning.
And it seems that he is a disciple of Miaoyin Sect, and he may have seen Luo Bing use golden silkworm Gu before.
He looked carefully at the buyer, but couldn't see any clues.
The distance between each other is too far, and the phantom array node where the seat is located has the effect of shielding the spiritual power, so it is impossible to judge the strength of this person.
After a while, no one answered. The buyer sighed in disappointment and stopped talking.
Chen Dengming was not surprised by this. There are only two sects in the Eastern Region that refine Gu, namely the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the Thousand Flowers Valley. They are very mysterious, and the two sects may not have the method of refining Golden Silkworm Gu. How can they be found on the market? There will be golden silkworm Gu.
Chen Dengming remained silent, thinking secretly in his heart.
Soon, other monks also started trading.
Chen Dengming observed for a moment, and then took action when a monk was selling a high-level magic weapon. He bid for it symbolically for a while. Although he failed to win it in the end, many monks took a look at Chen Dengming's position.
Those who can afford high-level magic weapons can naturally control and use them. They are not high-level Qi training, but almost the sixth level of Qi training. They are considered to be above the middle level, which proves their certain purchasing power.
After a while, a trade fair came to an end, but no one was selling high-level qi training techniques or good exercises. As for the physical training techniques for changing bone age, no one was selling them either.
Chen Dengming's eyebrows bulged and he felt secretly disappointed.
A few days ago, he also visited the merchant alliance shopkeeper with gifts and asked about the precautions of the other party's secret shop so that he could be prepared.
The other party once boasted about how powerful this place was, but now that he has personally experienced it, it is a bit false.
He could only speak in a deep voice using ventriloquism.
"Fellow Taoists here, I wonder who can use the high-level Taoist techniques of gold and wood to practice qi?
Related exercises that can achieve the effect of Gathering Soul Five Successes or above are also acceptable, or if there are exercises such as body repair and bone strengthening that can make bones younger, I am also very interested."
(The monthly pass is still almost up to standard, but today it has been updated with 11,500 words! Fellows, continue tomorrow!)
Life's encounters are different, and your destiny is changing.
I want to find a way out of the secret shop, but when I visit, I realize that it is fake and empty.
