A volcano that can erupt unlimited resources.
Although what is erupted is only sewage with silt and impurities, it can really be called an 'artifact' due to its 'infinite' nature.
Survive put the object back into the hidden compartment, and then took out the item from another hidden compartment.
There is a red jewel the size of a fingernail in this secret compartment.
Chengsheng handed the jewelry to Li Zhuo for appraisal.
"drink!"
The latter roared in surprise and explained: "This is a space gem. It is rare that this gem has the same function as a monk's storage bag, but it has a much larger storage space than the storage bag."
"Gemstones can be directly embedded in a person's arms, arms, or other parts, or even hidden directly inside the body without affecting the access to the treasure."
A space gem?
Cheng Shuo looked at the red gem and suddenly thought of the trouble the storage bag on his waist had caused for him.
Storage bags are actually quite confusing:
Hang it directly around your waist. If you hang it too much, it will easily expose your wealth and attract others to look at you.
Hide it covertly. If you don't cover it tightly, it will cause bulging in a certain part of the body, which will more easily lead to the effect of "there is no silver here".
This is counterproductive.
And if it is hidden too tightly, when an emergency occurs and the treasures in the storage bag need to be accessed, the performance in actual combat will be affected because it is not timely.
The consequences are even more serious.
In view of this, most monks simply do not cover up the storage bag at their waist, but just let it hang.
If you show your wealth, just show it, it is better than affecting your actual performance.
But with this 'space gem' it's different.
This gem can be embedded in any part of the body without affecting the access to the treasure, so that it can be concealed and used in actual combat at the same time.
nice one.
Chengsheng decided to take this treasure out of the secret vault.
He then opened the third secret compartment.
There is a wishful thinking in this secret grid.
Li Zhuo said: "This is a thing left by the ancient immortals. Those who hold Ruyi are equivalent to having an invisible servant beside them."
"Inject a small amount of emotional power into Ruyi, and Ruyi can serve you tea and boil water, wash and cook for you. The function is very comprehensive, but it is not very useful."
Can there be more than one invisible person?
After hearing this description, Chengshuo subconsciously glanced at Tieniu and Yuan Xiujie beside him.
He silently put Ruyi back and opened the next secret grid.
There is a jade slip in this secret compartment.
This time, Li Zhuo was not needed to appraise it.
Not long after Chengshuo directly put the jade slip on his forehead, the information in the jade slip flooded into his mind like a tide.
Jade slips and books have the same function.
When a monk puts the jade slip on his forehead, he can read its contents. But reading does not mean that he can write down everything.
If you want to memorize the contents, you still need to spend a lot of hard work.
The jade slips obtained from the survival recorded a magic skill called "Heart Seed Demon".
This is a high-level skill that requires monks above the deep diving stage to practice it, and can only be used on targets whose cultivation level is lower than one's own.
After successfully casting the spell, the practitioner can parasitize in other people's bodies and become a 'demon seed'.
'Demon seeds' can bewitch other people's minds and even take away other people's bodies, which is very evil.
Although this technique cannot be used in actual combat, its 'parasitic' characteristics can be regarded as an out-and-out life-saving magical technique.
Any exercise that can save your life is a good exercise.
He didn't want to survive, so he immediately used a blank jade slip to burn a copy of this technique.
According to the previous agreement, Boyazhi, Nili, Wuku, Leiting and Zhongran, who also entered the secret vault, also burned five copies each.
While Ming Sheng was selecting treasures, Zhong Ran and Wu Ku, who had not asked about the omniscient and omnipotent book, also selected a treasure and an ancient book.
Among them, the ancient book Zhong Ran selected was a secret method called "Fungal Parasitism".
The secret method details the cultivation method of a mutated mushroom and how to parasitize the mutated mushroom in the body.
After the mutant mushroom is successfully parasitized, a 'symbiotic relationship' can be formed between the monk and the mushroom, which will greatly improve the monk's recovery ability and ability to survive in extreme environments. It can even slightly improve the sanity of the parasitized person to improve his ability to deal with unforeseen circumstances. The resistance of the named creature.
In addition, this technique also has many benefits.
But Chengshuo didn't look at it in detail. He just made a copy of this technique with others as agreed before.
This is also an extremely evil technique
Finally, there is the jade slip gained from understanding suffering.
This jade slip records a secret method called "Gu Jia".
The secret method records in detail a method of cultivating a voodoo. After the voodoo is successfully cultivated, it can become stronger as the host's strength increases.
When used, countless identical bugs can be split in an instant and attached to the surface of the host, forming a dense layer of 'cup armor' to defend against enemy attacks.
Compared with the previous two techniques, this one is even more sinister and heavy-handed.
However, Chengsheng didn't care about the many things and still burned a copy of them on a blank jade slip.
At this point, all the monks had selected the treasures they wanted and acquired several secret techniques. The six of them left the secret vault with Li Zhuo with great satisfaction.
After returning to the side hall, the Emperor of Daliang who had appeared in front of everyone had disappeared.
Then I heard Li Zhuo say: "There are still less than five months until the great catastrophe in the west comes."
"Now that you have obtained the treasures and techniques, you need to break through from the blood elixir stage to the deep dive stage as soon as possible."
"Although everyone has already obtained the 'Wooing' sequence in the floating island illusion array."
"But if you want to break through to the deep dive stage in just five months, it will definitely be too late to rely on hard work alone."
"So you have to use external forces."
Li Zhuo continued: "I will give you one month to prepare. After one month, fellow Taoist Yunru Songyun and I will take you to Tianshan to practice to help you break through as soon as possible."
"Tianshan?"
Upon hearing the word Tianshan, Lei Lei showed a puzzled look on his face.
In fact, it wasn't just Thunder. Chengshuo also glanced at the others and found that everyone had confused expressions on their faces.
Including Cheng Sheng, no one seems to know the existence of 'Tianshan'.
In the side hall of the palace.
Li Zhuochong explained to everyone: "The so-called 'Tianshan' is actually a mountain that exists in an ancient immortal ruins, so very few monks know of its existence."
"Legend has it that when Heaven still existed thousands of years ago, the ancient immortals went to Heaven from the ground through this mountain."
Seeing that everyone still looked confused, Li Zhuo added: "The so-called Heavenly Court is a place that existed thousands of years ago, similar to the Daliang Palace, except that the Heavenly Court exists in a secret realm, while the Daliang Palace was built on the ground."
"Then, are there any immortals in heaven now?" Lei Lei asked.
"It's gone a long time ago." Li Zhuo replied: "It is said that Heaven disappeared due to being cursed and infected."
"Even to this day, you can still see some cursed and infected people from time to time in Tianshan and Heaven."
"Besides."
Li Zhuo continued: "As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. If the heaven still exists, how can it be tolerated by the Daliang court?"
After everyone obtained the skills and treasures from the secret treasury of the Liang Kingdom, they returned to their respective residences to practice and become familiar with the magic weapons they had obtained.
…
In the next period of time, Chengshuo embedded the space gem obtained from the secret library on his chest.
Then, he began to practice the secret method of "Seed Demon in the Heart".
While practicing the secret method, Survivor also did not forget to cultivate the mushrooms mentioned in the "Fungal Parasitism Method" and the Gu insects needed in "Gu Jia".
Among them, there are no special requirements for the mushrooms that need to be cultivated by the fungal parasitism method.
Spores from almost any mushroom can be grown.
The key is that the nutrients for cultivating mushroom spores must be fresh and contain certain contaminated flesh and blood.
The secret method also specifically mentions that living people are the best nutrients.
But out of psychological discomfort, Chengshuo finally chose to use scalpers for cultivation.
Then there are the Gu insects needed in the cup armor.
This poison must use a worm that eats iron ore from the Daliang Kingdom as the main insect, and then feed it a large amount of poison and Tai Sui meat every day.
In this way, nearly a month passed in a flash while practicing the technique of "Seed Demon in the Heart" and cultivating mushrooms and worms.
According to the previous agreement, Li Zhuo was supposed to take Chenghuo and others to Tianshan to practice in one month.
But just when everyone was about to leave, an imperial edict suddenly came from the palace in Bianjing City.
The imperial edict established Le Zhengxunyi, the thirteenth prince of the Liang Kingdom, as the crown prince of the Liang Kingdom and would succeed him as the emperor of the Liang Kingdom one month later.
As soon as this edict came out, the entire Bianjing city was shocked, and all forces were ready to take action.
"It's bad, it's bad!"
Chengshuo Mansion, in the yard.
Le Zhengxunyi followed the housekeeper Jiang Fu and hurriedly arrived at the Living Mansion. Even at this time, he was still accompanied by his junior sister Meng Qingyao as always.
Perhaps in order to hide his identity and try not to be recognized, Le Zhengxunyi also wore a black cloak with a hood.
After arriving in front of Chenghuo, he lifted his hood with confidence and said with a sigh of relief: "Fellow Chenghuo, you should have read all the edicts posted in the palace this morning, right?"
"See." Chengshuo asked curiously: "What's going on right now? Why is it so normal that the officials suddenly made you the crown prince?"
"I do not know either!"
Le Zhengxun said: "From the day I finished the crowning ceremony, I have never thought about competing for the throne of my Daliang Kingdom."
"The most important thing is that before this, my father never mentioned to me that he wanted to make me the crown prince of Daliang."
"So this morning's edict is too sudden not only for you, but also for me!"
"This" I don't know why. Looking at Le Zheng Xunyi with a helpless expression, Cheng Sheng suddenly thought of the Emperor of Liang Kingdom whom he had seen in the side hall before.
At that time, the Emperor of Liang was no longer human.
He became a being formed from red and black mist.
According to the Emperor of Liang himself, all the monarchs of the Liang Kingdom in the past dynasties would look like him in the end.
It's like some kind of unsolvable curse.
Thinking of this, Chengsheng wanted to remind his friend Lezheng Xunyi.
But before the words came out, he suddenly remembered that the Emperor of Liang had previously told him not to leak this matter.
So he just opened his mouth, and then fell silent.
Seeing that Cheng Huo hesitated to speak, Le Zhengxun continued: "Now the other princes all suspect that the reason why I became the crown prince is because Yun Rusong, Li Zhuo and Xuan Si forged a fake edict. .”
"How can this be!"
Cheng Huo said: "Let's not talk about your daily life. You have been obsessed with searching for the relics left by the ancient immortals, and you have no intention of fighting for power."
"Even if you really want to compete for the throne, you can't be so proud that you can convince Yun Rusong, Li Zhuo and Xuansi at the same time."
"You misunderstood." Le Zhengxun shook his head and said, "The princes only doubt Yun Rusong and the others."
"They thought that Yun Rusong and the others would forge an edict and make me the crown prince. They just thought I was easier to control and they never doubted me."
"Because I have no interest in imperial power."
"But so what?" Chengshuo thought for a moment and said, "Yun Rusong and the other three have deep dive cultivation levels and the three of them are sitting in the palace. No matter what those princes think, they have to do whatever they should not do. Is it possible to rebel against heaven?"
"No matter how powerful their livestock is, can they still be stronger than the monks in the deep dive stage? How dare they take action?"
"My Taoist friends don't know something." Lezheng Xunyi explained: "My Lezhengyi family has a profound foundation. The biggest reliance in this is my imperial palace in Bianjing City."
"There are unknown forces in the palace that can be mobilized by the head of the Lezheng clan to suppress rebellions caused by people other than the Lezheng clan."
"With this power, even deep dive monks can be strangled."
"And this is the main reason why Yun Rusong, Li Zhuo and Xuansi, despite their deep cultivation, still profess their vassal status in front of my Lezheng clan."
"The chief of the Lezheng clan?" Chenghuo frowned and asked, "Does the chief of the Lezheng clan refer to your father?"
"no."
Le Zhengxun shook his head and said: "My father is the father, and the head of the Lezheng clan is the clan leader. The two are separate."
"According to the ancestral teachings, I, the head of the Lezheng clan, don't care about anything on weekdays. They will only take action when facing foreign enemies."
"So with the palace and the clan leader here, even the monks in the deep submergence stage would not dare to make trouble in front of our Lezheng family."
After hearing this, Chengshuo already understood what Lezheng Xunyi meant.
He took advantage of the situation and said: "So what you are trying to say is that it is precisely because of the fear of the imperial palace and the head of the Lezheng clan that Yun Rusong and the other three deep dive monks do not dare to make any big moves."
"In this way, the various princes and the forces they support will become the biggest bargaining chips in the subsequent fight for the throne."
"After all, the fight between the princes is an internal fight within the Lezheng clan, so the head of the Lezheng clan will not intervene."
"Yes." Le Zhengxun nodded and replied, "That's what I mean. So, Bianjing City is probably going to be in chaos."
Chengshuo asked again: "Then, what are your next plans to find a friend?"
Le Zhengxun said, "Before the internal fighting between my Le Zheng family ends, I want Qing Yao to hide here with you for a while."
"As for my words"
"I plan to find a way to sneak into the palace, and then meet my father. I want to find out what all this is about."
"I want to find out whether the edict that established me as crown prince was really written by my father, or was it forged by Yun Rusong and others."
After all, they are just friends.
Chengshuo thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then let me go with you. I'm here. I dare not say anything about Yun Rusong and the other three deep dive monks, but for the rest, I can guarantee that they can't hurt you!"
