There is no light in the land of Hades, and there is always darkness in the sky. The thick clouds are rolling incessantly. I don’t know what kind of force makes this world look like this. It is said that in ancient times, this state also The land belonging to the nine states of Qionghua Realm was defeated and divided during a great war. Since then, Mingzhou has been staggered under the four states of Qionghua Realm and has never seen the light of day.
Legends are legends after all. Although various sects have classics, they only contain fragments and are unclear. Wang Qi also read some Jiuzhou miscellaneous notes in the Five Elements Sect and had some understanding, but did not study them in depth. Who has ever I want to accidentally enter the underworld one day.
On the wasteland, two figures were walking slowly forward.
"Young Master Qin, I have some complaints. In fact, Jiu'er doesn't want to be like this, but my sister has given me the order and I have to follow her. If the Young Master has something secret to do, you can go alone. You just need to find an agreed place and come back when the time comes." Su Jiu was half a step behind and followed Wang Qi. She had a keen mind and was good at observing faces. Wang Qi had been ignoring her since she came out of the ghost town three days ago. Could it be that he was angry?
After the matter in the ghost town was dealt with, Su Nian guarded the magic well to refine the elixir, while the others went to practice on their own. This time it would take a long time, ranging from half a year to two years. All the followers only need to return to the palace every six months to discuss matters. However, Wang Qi also told Su Nian that he wanted to go out to practice.
Unexpectedly, Su Jiu was still sent to him, and he was called to accompany him to take care of him. However, everyone knew very well that they said they were accompanying him, but they were actually monitoring him. It was obvious that Su Nian did not believe him in his heart.
Wang Qi stopped when he heard this. He turned around and looked at the girl in front of him. He saw a little guilt and aggrieved look on her face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Jiu'er, you can see how well I have walked in the past three days."
Su Jiu widened her beautiful eyes and didn't know the meaning of this question, but she replied: "But I have seen that the young master's footwork has different weights. Light can't lift the dust, heavy can fall into the living seal. Between the light and heavy, he can step three times in the air. step."
"Haha, you have a good eye. This step has a name, called the Phantom Demon Body Technique. I have been thinking about this method these days, so I have left you a little bit cold. Don't be surprised." Wang Qi said with a smile. With his demeanor, how could he complain, how could he be angry with her.
When Su Jiu heard this, she smiled. It turned out that this was the case. The worry on her face was wiped away. Seeing the young man in front of her warmly explaining, she felt even more happy. She patted her chest with her little hand and said, "Young Master, I don't know, you That pensive look has made Jiu'er worried for a long time." After saying that, she smiled playfully, her worries gone, and she became lively again.
Wang Qi laughed and turned around, but secretly warned in his heart that Qin Zheng's character seemed to have failed. After all, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Occasionally, it is okay to act, but in the long run, the flaws will inevitably be exposed. Fortunately, Su Jiucheng's mansion is not deep, and he doesn't know Qin Zheng's true appearance. If he were someone he knew well, he would be suspicious.
"Jiu'er, when will you follow the saint?" Wang Qi asked casually.
"Five years ago, when the Su family had a big banquet, my sister happened to go home to attend the ceremony. During the sword dance in front of the palace, she was chosen by my sister and brought Jiu'er out. If not for this, Jiu'er would still be a sword slave now." Su Jiu replied. .
"Sword slave..." Wang Qi said to himself. He would not ask directly to avoid exposing his feet again.
"Yes, the Lingyun Sword that Jiu'er serves in the Su family is also a top-grade treasure." Su Jiu said.
"Top grade treasure!" Wang Qi said in surprise.
"Exactly, if it weren't for this sword, Jiu'er would not have embarked on the path of cultivation. Master, do you know the reason?" Su Jiu said, feeling quite proud at this point.
Wang Qi smiled and said: "How would I know? Let me tell you."
"Jiu'er was originally a slave of the Su family. During the sword tasting ceremony, Lingyun Sword automatically unsheathed itself and hung in front of Jiu'er. This situation has never happened before when choosing the owner of a famous sword, but it shocked all the guests."
"This is happening." Wang Qi stopped, turned around and looked Su Jiu up and down, and then said, "Could it be that you have sword veins in your body?!"
A look of regret appeared on Su Jiu's face, and she shook her head and said: "Later, the head of the family tested and found that Jiu'er only has the fourth-grade Ice Soul Dao Vein, and the Lingyun Sword also has the Ice Forbidden Technique, so he got close to me. Although he cannot become the sword master, he can You can also cultivate this sword before being passed down the Taoist teachings and embark on the path of cultivation."
Her journey was indeed difficult. As a servant, she was only taught the basic technique of absorbing qi, and the swordsmanship she learned was only human martial arts. However, she has a good temperament and a first-class understanding. She practiced hard and finally advanced. It’s the middle stage of Qi refining.
Because she knew that learning was the only way out, otherwise she would be a lifelong slave.
Her hard work paid off, and her efforts were appreciated by Su Nian, who chose her as a personal attendant. She was able to enter a major immortal sect. The Lotus Taoist Sect is also one of the three major immortal sects in Xizhou. It has authentic Xuanmen skills. Now she also With the name of an outer disciple and a few good deeds every year, plus some conveniences given by my sister, I can exchange for a skill in a few years, and the future is promising.
"The fourth-grade Dao Meridian is pretty good, but ice-based techniques are rare. Jiu'er has never found one." Wang Qi said.
Su Jiu smiled and said: "Jiu'er has checked it out. The sect has a Xuanyin True Record that is suitable for my Taoist body. When I go back this time and become an inner disciple, I can get it." She was quite excited as she spoke. , this technique can reach the realm of golden elixir!
"Jiu'er's path is promising, congratulations." Wang Qi said sincerely. In terms of Qin Zheng, there is only the first-level body refining catalog of Jiuyou. The second-level and third-level realms are still in the hands of the family elders. Qin Zheng's identity and status are extremely difficult to obtain, not to mention that this first part may have been stolen. Otherwise, how could the real book be brought out, and how could the main lineage of the Qin family agree! !
The two chatted while walking. Su Jiu was pretty and lively, and Wang Qi answered casually. The journey was not lonely.
Five days later, the two came to the ghost city. Xiao Hanyan and Yang Feiyuan opened the city gate and went out to greet them.
"I don't know that Taoist friend Qin is here, but I am not welcomed from afar, but I am angry." Yang Feiyuan bowed his hands and saluted. Seeing that there was a girl beside Wang Qi, he knew not to talk about the past and not to mention his benefactor.
"I've met Brother Dao." Xiao Hanyan bowed his head and said, "I don't know what the reason for coming here is."
Wang Qi also bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "I have met two Taoist friends. I came here this time and wanted to use the magic well. I don't know..." At this point, he pondered for a moment and stopped talking. .
Xiao Hanyan smiled when he heard this and said: "Brother Tao has spared no effort to help us defend the city. I haven't thanked you yet. You can use this magic well at will."
She had just finished speaking, but before Wang Qi could respond, Yang Feiyuan continued: "Fellow Daoist Qin, I don't know if it's just you or both of you going together. The output of this magic well is limited in one day, so..."
He looked embarrassed, and the implication was that he didn't want the two of them to use it together. After all, he also wanted to practice. But it was actually for Su Jiu to see. If everything went well, the master knew that he would push the envelope even further. Sometimes you have to use the magic well, what should you do?
Su Jiu was so smart, how could he not know what the other party meant, and immediately said: "Don't worry, you two, I can find another place to practice without using the magic well."
Yang Feiyuan chuckled. Seeing that Wang Qi didn't make any move, he seemed to acquiesce, so he said: "There is also a magic eye in the city. With the cultivation level of fellow Taoist, it is enough to be used. What do you think, fellow Taoist?" .”
Su Jiu didn't expect such treatment. She nodded happily, bowed her hands and said, "Su Jiu thanked fellow Taoist." The other party was telling the truth. With her cultivation level, she has the magic eye as a place of cultivation, which is completely enough. You know In this world of Hades, the magic eye is also a rare thing, and she is able to enjoy it because of Wang Qi's credit.
The four of them entered the city together, and Xiao Hanyan led Su Jiu to the place of the magic eye.
After they left, Yang Feiyuan saluted again and said, "Brother Taoist, that girl is accompanying them to monitor them."
Wang Qi nodded and said: "The Lotus Saint has a palace in her heart. How can she be gullible to others? Just put this girl aside." Mo Guan Su Jiu was somewhat attracted to him, but if he knew his identity, or he and Su Nian If there is a conflict, the swords will inevitably turn against each other.
Furthermore, the place where he practiced was not open to outsiders, so by remaining silent just now, he acquiesced to Yang Feiyuan's approach.
Yang Feiyuan nodded and put down his worries. What he said just now was a bit unkind, but it was Xiao Hanyan who came up with the idea. When the two opened the door, they decided on a plan and let him Come sing this white face.
The benefactor went to Mingzhou alone, and incarnated as Qin Zheng, pretending to be someone else. You can't be too careful. After Xiao Hanyan went through that big change, he became very cautious. Once a woman gets serious, she is extremely scary. , all aspects, some and no, all can be thought of.
"Brother Dao, in addition to using the magic well, you also need other things. I also have some Condensation Pills here, which are made from the energy of the magic well and can help with cultivation." Yang Feiyuan took out a jade bottle and said.
When Wang Qi saw this, he was not polite and took the jade bottle. He opened it and looked at it. This elixir was easier to absorb than the demonic energy, but it was not as good as the magic crystal elixir. He shook his head slightly and said Returning to the jade bottle, he said: "This elixir is of no use to me. It is not as effective as the magic well."
His body refining catalog has reached the peak of the second level. He needs a large amount of sufficient and pure demonic energy before he can pass the promotion. He has ten fourth-grade magic crystal pills in his hand, plus the magic well, he can do it. try.
In the backyard of the city lord's mansion.
A large well with a radius of five feet was made of blue boulders, more than ten feet above the ground. Dark, mist-like demonic energy continuously gushes out from the mouth of the well and rolls endlessly. Twelve tall stone pillars are arranged around the well. The lines are vertical and horizontal, and the red light flashes, trapping all the evil energy inside without revealing any trace.
Wang Qi stood in front of the magic well, feeling silently and nodding secretly.
This magic well is equivalent to the output of ten magic caves, and the quality is better, pure and rich. He seals the seal with his hand and slowly walks towards the magic well. He flips his palm and lightly prints it on the outer formation. There is a wave of ripples. The body entered the formation in a flash.
It was pitch black, and no five fingers could be seen. The demonic energy here was restrained by the formation, accumulated and compressed, and was almost condensed like liquid. Wang Qi was very happy. Such pure demonic energy, coupled with the help of the elixir, should Can go up one more level.
His magic power surged and he transformed into a demonic body. His battle body, which was as black as ink, seemed to be merging with the demonic energy. Only his red eyes showed endless killing intent. He sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, and the Nine Nether Qi Drawing Technique was fully deployed. For a time, the demonic energy within the formation was in chaos and rolling continuously.
If an ordinary qi refiner absorbs the qi from this magic well, he can only induce one ray of demonic qi at a time, collect it into the sea of qi, and slowly refine it. This is probably because this demonic qi is also harmful to the body. It can consume the blood and corrode the body. physical body.
It is said that there was a Qi practitioner who did not know the harm and entered the devil's well. Within three days, all the essence and blood in his body melted away and the person turned into withered bones. This devil's energy is the same as spiritual energy. If someone ignores his own ability and absorbs spiritual energy, , will also explode and die. This is the saying that going too far is not enough.
Wang Qi also knows this truth, but...
The demonic body formed by his Nine Nether Body Refining Manual is not harmed by it. This is the power of Yuanshen Cultivation Technique! !
