"Oh? Brother seems to know a lot about this matter."
At this time, a clear voice spoke from the side.
"Haha! I just heard it mentioned by my fourth uncle who is in charge of the Santing Chamber of Commerce." This young man who was talking eloquently had a mature face. He was not angry when he was interrupted, but responded with a smile, but Suddenly, he felt that the voice was unfamiliar. He turned around and saw a young man in black robes, "Huh? This fellow Taoist is quite cool..."
He tensed slightly and stood up.
This young man in black robes with an unfamiliar face was standing under an ancient tree a few feet away from him, but he was not aware of his approach at all!
What's more, the young man in black robes was clearly in his sight, but he couldn't sense his presence at all!
The other monks on the mountain also cast their doubtful eyes at the young man in black robe who appeared here at an unknown time.
The figure of the young man in black robe is tall and slender, more than nine feet tall, with a white face and short hair. There is no breath around him. On his calm face, there is only a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. There is a stick of about ten feet slung across his back. Holding a long black spear, he stood under the ancient tree with his arms folded.
The light golden mottled sunlight filtering through the ancient tree branches seemed to be swept by the icy cold sea breeze, falling on his face and swaying.
"Why, could it be that this place has been occupied by a few brothers and no one else is allowed to enter?" The young man in black robe raised his brows, and his eyes became half-smiling as he scanned the figures of several people.
"How dare you! I don't know how rude you are, senior!" The young man with an old face was glanced at by the young man in black robe. He felt that the sharp gaze of the young man in black robe penetrated his figure like a substance. He immediately Shaking, he bowed and clasped his fists, and spoke with a respectful expression.
"senior……"
"senior……"
With this person taking the lead, several other minor cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining also respectfully saluted the black-robed young man with clasped fists and called him senior.
The smile on the corners of the black-robed young man's mouth dropped.
He no longer paid attention to these minor cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining, but lowered his head slightly, seeming to look at the earth and rocks below.
Immediately, the young man in black robe withdrew his eyes from looking at the earth and rocks below. With a flicker of his body, he turned into a black shadow like a sharp arrow and ran towards the bottom of the hill. His speed was extremely fast, and it only took less than two breaths to reach him. Passing through the ancient forest, they submerged into the deep darkness of the island.
Several early Qi-refining cultivators on the hilltop all breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, looked at each other, exchanged only a few words, and then left the place in a hurry.
"The formations of these two overlapping spirit-gathering formations haven't changed yet... Now, three or four months have passed." Among the earthly defense formations that transformed into small hills, an attack Gu Qing, who was dressed in black robes and looked pale, as if he was just recovering from a serious illness, muttered to himself.
At this time, Gu Qing was standing at the end of the path in the spiritual field in front of the cave. He only needed to raise his head slightly to see through the khaki translucent sky that looked like a miniature sky falling upside down, covering a radius of 500 feet. Formation light curtain to watch the outside world.
The abandoned spiritual fields around the cave have given birth to many wildly growing weeds after more than three months of abundant spiritual energy.
Although they are just some weeds, they have also filled in the almost deserted spiritual field with new green. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find among these weeds a few spiritual plant seeds left by the predecessors. Spiritual plants—Although these few spiritual plants have allowed weeds to take away nine out of ten of the nutrients, leaving them in a semi-dead state.
Gu Qing felt the spiritual power in his body. Under the golden light emitted by the five slightly dim golden lotus seeds in the qi sea of his Dantian, he followed the exercise route of the Great Five Elements Condensation Method, running over and over again, unable to drive it away. The dissipating feeling of fatigue comes from the origin of the soul.
'Just condensing a Dao Heart Demon Seed was so difficult that it drained my soul power twenty-four times. It took nearly a year in the space of the stone tablet... Gu Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. , turned around and walked towards the cave.
In the past three months, Gu Qing has almost been staying in the empty space of the stone monument.
Within the space of the stele, at a time flow rate three to four times that of the outside world, he spent nearly a year successfully condensing the Dao Heart Demon Seed and planting it into the body of the Ancient Demon!
Just now, on top of the hill transformed by the Earth Elemental Formation, the young man in black robes with short hair and carrying a big black gun was his ancient demon body! The reason why the young man in black robe lowered his head to look at the earth and rocks under his feet was because he was looking at him through the khaki formation light screen!
After condensing the inner demon seeds and planting them into the body of the ancient demon, Gu Qing truly experienced what it felt like to have a clone.
After returning to the quiet training room and sitting down, Gu Qing's eyes changed as he thought. He let the ancient demon go out. In addition to selling the gains from the Zichen Secret Realm and his party, he also asked him to rush back to Changming Island - in Changming Island. He did still have some unfinished business in the waters around Mingdao.
'The source of the soul has been depleted. I wonder if the Lotus Heart Jade Dew Pill can be restored? Gu Qing's hand flashed with inspiration and he took out the bottle of Lotus Heart Jade Dew Pill.
He looked at the milky white elixir bottle, slightly lost in thought.
'That's all if it's just to condense the inner demon seeds.
'If you only condense the Dao Heart Demon Seed, every time the soul power is exhausted, as long as there are enough pills that can act on the soul power, recovery will not be difficult, let alone take too much time.
'But since you want to practice the Great Freedom God-Forging Technique, you have to take a pill to restore the power of the soul every time when the power of the soul is on the verge of exhaustion, and then temper your body and soul crazily... If your will is not strong, I'm afraid it will be... The pain and torture was gone.
'At this moment, the Great Freedom God Forging Technique has reached its peak. My soul power, even though part of it has been separated into condensed Dao Heart Demon Seeds, is at least 60-70% stronger than a year ago! This kind of divine soul power is not weaker than some seventh-level foundation-building monks, right?
'I wonder if this will affect the improvement of spiritual power...
I don't know if it is because the secret method of condensing the inner demon seeds is too evil, which makes Gu Qing's miscellaneous thoughts keep growing like clumps of weeds.
When using this secret technique, what you want to visualize is the majestic figure with four heads and eight arms in the boundless starry sky. It is deeply imprinted in Gu Qing's heart. Whether he opens or closes his eyes, it seems to be in front of him!
A trace of vigilance appeared in Gu Qing's heart.
'It can't go on like this!
'If the state of mind is bad, I am afraid that it will never recover...
'I refine the demon seed, how can I let the demon seed refine me?
As soon as Gu Qing changed his mind, he immediately realized it and no longer had to worry about the distracting thoughts. Instead, he just let the distracting thoughts arise and disappear like observing flowing water.
Although his face is still extremely pale, his eyes have changed from worrying about gains and losses to becoming calm and deep. Although he has not successfully entered the state of unity between man and nature in the Guanzi Jue, he can no longer be obsessed with any distracting thoughts. Becomes without joy, without sorrow, without waves.
The majestic figure with four heads and eight arms that was deeply imprinted in his heart was like broken glass, disintegrating inch by inch and disappearing invisible.
Gu Qing's mind relaxed, as if a heavy shackle had been lifted.
'Although time flows quickly in the stele space, the speed of lifespan consumption will also accelerate... In this way, practicing in the stele space is not much different from cultivating in the outside world.
'Now that I have spent 45,000 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones to purchase this cave, I will simply live and practice here quietly for a period of time.
So thinking.
He poured out a Lotus Heart Jade Dew Pill, swallowed it into his stomach, felt the medicinal power of the Lotus Heart Jade Dew Pill explode, and sunk all his mind into the practice of the Great Five Elements Condensation Magic. , gradually enveloped by the dense mist of five-color spiritual light.
The mist condensed from the five-color spiritual light changed for a moment, and turned into a five-color lotus platform. This five-color lotus platform just rotated imperceptibly, and the spiritual mist in the practice quiet room was carried along with the spiritual spring in the eye. The spiritual spring water swept over in strands, turning into a funnel-shaped whirlpool, constantly
Pour it into Gu Qing's body.
At the same time, Gu Qing turned his hand and took out a high-grade spiritual stone. He held it in his hand and opened his mouth slightly.
Following his thoughts, a large mouthful of spiritual liquid was taken out of the space of the stone tablet and swallowed into his stomach just like the Lotus Heart Jade Dew Pill before.
Now that the body of the Ancient Demon is running around, all Gu Qing has to do is concentrate on training. Although he has reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment in just a few years after breaking through the Foundation Establishment, his progress in cultivation is considered extremely fast, but Cultivation becomes slower and slower as time goes by, and his lifespan is running out!
If he can't form an elixir before his life span is exhausted...then he will have no choice but to use the Ten Earth Transformation Holy Techniques to refine the body of the ancient demon into his true body!
Just when Gu Qing's body was concentrating on practicing, another Gu Qing with black robe and short hair was already walking in the deep darkness of Qingshu Island.
His calm black eyes seemed not to be disturbed by anything, and the corner of his mouth was once again smiling.
Although the Dao Heart Demon Seed that controls the ancient demon's body is just a special soul that Gu Qing separated and condensed from his own soul, its memory and character are almost the same as Gu Qing's.
But there are subtle differences.
And Gu Qing was vaguely aware of this difference.
But he felt that it was normal to have slight differences. There would never be two identical things in this world.
'Yin Sha Xuan Gong only opened up the Shenque acupoint, so that the body of the ancient demon has spiritual power and can use the stored treasure. To cultivate to a higher level, you need a large amount of Yin Qi. Is this trip going to the dragon? Take a trip to Zehu? Gu Qing, who was wearing a black robe and short hair, saw the shady wood on a stall and suddenly remembered the extremely shady place he had discovered under Longze Lake.
He squatted down in front of the stall.
"Eight-hundred-year-old Yin wood, three middle-grade spiritual stones per square." The stall owner noticed the sharp gap, and Gu Qing was looking at the Yin wood.
"Oh? Is this piece of Yin wood really eight hundred years old?"
Gu Qing seemed a little surprised. He pointed at the black and cracked Yin wood and said unceremoniously: "Fellow Taoist, please don't try to deceive me. Eight hundred years of Yin wood will have this virtue? The cracks on it are like this." There are so many that it is more believable to say that it is a lightning-struck tree!"
"Ha! You are a small cultivator with only one level of Qi refining, what a big tone!" The stall owner, who is a second-level monk, heard the word "fellow daoist" mentioned by Gu Qing, and his eyes were slightly cold. Come here, he can easily kill such weak monks, but they are too weak, and he doesn't even have the ability to kill them.
"My little fellow Taoist, I don't know. Although this Yin wood is not in good condition, it is indeed seven or eight hundred years old." While they were walking aside, a gentle and melodious female voice came out, which attracted Gu Qing's sideways gaze.
But seeing the Xinghu who had just stopped, it was covered in light purple gauze and carried by four handsome young men in the early and middle stages of Qi refining.
Through the light purple gauze gently swaying with the wind, one can vaguely see the female cultivator sitting upright and walking. That graceful figure could be seen more clearly if it were not for the deep darkness around her.
"Fellow Taoist, I want this part of my concubine's Yinmu body. How about two middle-grade spiritual stones?" The gentle female voice sounded one after another.
"Two pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones..." A look of distress seemed to flash across the stall owner's old cheeks covered with dark yellow spots. He glanced at the line a few times, and then nodded heavily. nod.
The cultivation level of this female cultivator is simply unfathomable! He just felt it for a moment, and felt guilty.
"It's rare for a fellow Taoist to open his mouth, so I'll sell you two middle-grade spiritual stones from this Jie Yin Mu!" The stall owner responded with a smile.
"Ah Si, take two middle-grade spiritual stones." The female cultivator's voice came up again, and among the four handsome young monks who were in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, the monk who was on the second level of Qi refining and had a male body and a female body responded.
"Yes, Master."
The male cultivator took a few steps forward, patted the storage bag on his waist, took out two medium-grade spiritual stones, and started trading with the stall owner whose face was covered with spots that looked like copper coins.
Gu Qing nodded slightly to the graceful figure walking around, smiled kindly, glanced at the stall in front of him, then stood up and left.
Gu Qing has visited Qingshu Island, which is four to five hundred miles in radius, several times before, and has a general understanding of the locations of various shops on the island.
Therefore, for him, there is nothing new on this island. After leaving the stall here, he walked quickly for a while and went straight to the door of a shop called "Three Courts of Commerce" - before On the hill formed by the Earth Element Formation, he heard the young monk in the early stage of Qi Refining mention the Three Chambers of Commerce.
The internal layout of the Santing Chamber of Commerce is very ordinary.
Gu Qing's eyes lit up when he entered, and he saw a front hall filled with white light that looked like a common pawn shop. There were four teams of monks of different lengths lining up in the front hall.
The wall in front is made of black stone and looks extremely heavy. There are four stone doors not far apart from each other. When each stone door opens and closes, there will be monks either with faces full of joy or with heartache, walking quickly inside. After walking out, new monks will separate from the queue of monks in front of this stone door and enter the stone door.
'It is somewhat similar to the Xiangjia shop that he visited in Chihufang... Gu Qing blinked, randomly found a team of monks, stood at the end, hugged his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
One of the purposes of his coming out this time is to spread the harvest of Zichen Secret Realm and his party. The harvest of Zichen Secret Realm and his party is so huge, naturally it is impossible to take action all at once, otherwise, others will definitely be watching. Therefore, It should be divided into multiple batches and taken multiple times.
Thanks to the special nature of the Ancient Demon's body, he can change his face and body shape at any time, without having to worry about being recognized by others.
'The three chambers of commerce are not large in size. They seem to be at the bottom among the three major chambers of commerce on Qingshu Island. They are far inferior to the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce, which is the first of the three major chambers of commerce, and the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce, which relies on its geographical location and is located on Qinghuo Island. Red Gold Chamber of Commerce. Gu Qing briefly recalled the records he had seen in Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Vast Sea. Although this broken book was not very accurate in recording many things, it could still be used for reference.
Qinghuo Island is an island adjacent to Qingshu Island.
Rather than saying it is an island, it is better to say that the three words "Qinghuo Island" represent a large group of islands including Qinghuo Island.
In that island group with frequent volcanoes and red flames everywhere, there are several powerful monk families. The Red Gold Chamber of Commerce is the chamber of commerce supported by these tenacious monk families.
In this hall, there are four teams of monks and more than fifty monks. Among them, there is only one monk in the early stage of Qi refining, and most of the rest are monks in the middle and late stages of Qi refining.
There are two other people who should be foundation-building monks.
However, these two people restrained their cultivation. With the soul power of Gu Qing's clone, he could only confirm that they were foundation-building monks, but could not tell their specific cultivation levels - the soul power of his clone was very weak and completely natural. The Dao Heart Demon Seed is equivalent to about one-tenth of the power of the original soul. If it were not for the Dao Heart Demon Seed that can ignore most of the divine soul attack methods, he would not let this clone go out and walk alone.
Regarding the Dao Heart Demon Seed, the characteristics of most divine soul attack methods can be ignored. This was something Gu Qing only discovered after condensing the Dao Heart Demon Seed and attacking the Dao Heart Demon Seed several times with the power of the divine soul.
As for why this happened, Gu Qing didn't know.
He doesn't need to know.
He only needs to know that as long as he does not encounter a monk whose soul power exceeds his own body, the ancient demon's body is not afraid of using his soul attack methods!
However, due to the special nature of the Dao Heart Demon Seed and his ancient demon body, he was originally just an empty shell without a soul.
As a result, Gu Qing is currently unable to restrain his cultivation aura - that is to say, except for using the power of the ancient demon to suppress the weak spiritual power born from practicing the Yin Sha Xuan Gong in his body, he cannot truly conceal his cultivation. This method can hide from the ordinary monks in the early stage of Qi refining, but it cannot hide from the monks who have spiritual consciousness after the middle stage of Qi refining.
Gu Qing, who was wearing a black robe and short hair, showed his cultivation aura at the first level of Qi Refining, as if he was unsuspectingly exposed to the eyes of the cultivators.
Perhaps a low level of cultivation is as eye-catching as a high level of cultivation.
Just the latter
, no one dares to offend.
The former will attract some unscrupulous looks. For example, among the several glances focused on Gu Qing, the owner of one of them is the late-stage Qi Refining monk who has just arrived and is lined up behind Gu Qing. This person is extremely fat. , a female cultivator who is half a foot tall.
It seemed that she had practiced some special skills. A very special fragrance emanated from the body of this extremely fat female cultivator. She looked at the short black-robed monk in front of her, her eyes were a little confused, and she didn't know why. , she had an inexplicable fear towards this short black-robed monk, as if she was afraid of the terrifying ferocious beast that she had encountered before, the master who was in the late stage of foundation building in the enemy's gate.
With this fear, the female cultivator withdrew her gaze and looked down at her huge belly, not daring to continue looking at the short black-robed monk in front of her.
Time passes slowly.
There was only one person left in the team in front of Gu Qing.
A huge black shadow moved sideways from behind, covering the white crystal stone embedded in the roof of the front hall, and shining white light on Gu Qing. When Gu Qing raised his eyes, he saw a huge and fat twelve-level Qi Refining figure. The ugly man came to his side and stared at him with extremely vicious eyes.
This ugly man's face was covered with beard, and the flesh on his face seemed to be flowing down. His two small eyes were sunk in the flesh pits and were almost invisible. His half-open mouth was dripping with saliva.
"Get out." The ugly man glanced at Gu Qing for a few times. He first threw a low-grade spiritual stone over, then stretched out his hand the size of a cattail leaf fan, grabbed Gu Qing's neck and threw him directly behind him.
"Senior Brother Chu!"
When Gu Qing saw this, the female cultivator behind him was shocked and quickly sent a message, "This person is not as simple as he seems on the surface. Don't let me..."
The ugly man's broad palm, the size of a cattail leaf fan, was about to catch Gu Qing. He frowned when he heard this, glanced at the female cultivator behind Gu Qing, and snorted disdainfully: "Humph! You..."
But the ugly man's words had just come out.
An extremely strong force tightened around his wrist. He was startled, and his spiritual power surged around his body. He tried to resist, but before he could react, severe pain spread from his wrist to his body!
Gu Qing took the low-grade spirit stone thrown by the cultivator with one hand, and grabbed the cultivator's wrist with the other hand. With just a simple squeeze and twist, he immediately threw the fat and ugly man into the air and swung it around. It drew a circle in mid-air and crashed to the ground with a bang!
boom!
The front hall of Santing Chamber of Commerce seemed to tremble.
This ugly man at the twelfth level of Qi Refining smashed his huge body on the ground like rotten meat, cracking the ground. Half of his thick arms were twisted and broken, and dark red blood flowed down it. The thread-like cracks spurted out wildly, causing the few monks on one side who were able to avoid being hit to take a breath of cold air and look at Gu Qing with fearful eyes.
Gu Qing casually threw the low-grade spirit stone and hit the ugly man who was struggling to get up, his face twisted with intense pain.
The ugly man at the twelfth level of Qi Refining forced himself to stand up, catching the low-grade spirit stone that hit his face and then slipped. He stared at Gu Qing with a pair of bloodshot eyes, his twisted and broken arm. On his body, the thread-shaped wound was healing quickly with a large amount of white gas emitting from it.
"good very good."
The ugly man looked at Gu Qing and squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
He knew that kicking the iron plate would only make him more embarrassed if he continued to use it. He gave the female cultivator behind Gu Qing a hard look and walked towards the back of the team.
This little episode didn't seem to attract the attention of the monks of the Santing Chamber of Commerce, but the Qi Refining monks in the front hall all knew that Gu Qing was not easy to mess with, and no one dared to look at him wantonly. However, that The two foundation-building monks were more concerned about Gu Qing.
The sixth-level Qi Refining monk in front of Gu Qing walked into the stone gate with anxiety, and then walked out with a disappointed face. Finally, it was Gu Qing's turn.
