In the courtyard of the adoption hall, Chang Sheng was limping on the ground picking up storage bags. From time to time, a sword flashed past, and a knife mark appeared on the body of the person killed by Mo Shu and Xie Gu.
Immortality is a bit strange. Under normal circumstances, at the moment of death, the true energy and sea of qi in a monk's body will dissipate. After the death of these people in the adoption hall, the immortals can still swallow their true energy.
Is there any difference? By the way, the Holy Stone. Could it be that their entire Qi sea is in the holy stone?
Changsheng was still standing in the courtyard thinking about the connection between the holy stone and the true essence, but Mo Shu and Xie Gu were covered with injuries. They were sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard panting and looking through the storage bag thrown by Changsheng, their eyes green. The light comes out.
Three corpses were lying on the ground in the courtyard. Three other young men who had achieved great mastery in Qi refining were standing aside tremblingly after being cut into mortals, not daring to make any rash move.
In front of the pavilion in the courtyard, there were two other middle-aged people who had their legs cut off and were wailing. They were the couple who were in charge of the adoption hall. Their faces were a little aging, but not much. They looked like they were only about ten years older. That’s all.
The sneak attack by the Changsheng trio initially made the people in the adoption hall somewhat scornful. But what they didn't expect was that the holy stone on their bodies stopped reacting immediately after encountering the three of them. They couldn't even think about an instant burst of cultivation or self-destruction.
This holy stone? This is definitely a fucking kickback.
However, they could not increase their cultivation level by leaps and bounds. Facing the Changsheng trio, the four Qi-refining monks became nothing more than meat on the chopping board. It's just that the two adoption hall stewards are both at the highest level of foundation building, and there is one who has just completed the foundation building. It took some effort for the three Changshengs to do so.
"These storage bags combined can catch up with our mission for the next year. By the way, second sister, the young gentleman won't blame me."
Xie Gu said to Mo Shu out of breath while looking through the storage bags.
"No, you also took two sword blows for the little gentleman." Mo Shu's injuries were no less serious than Xie Gu's, and he was weak when speaking.
In fact, Changsheng was more seriously injured than Mo Shu when he was dealing with two great foundation builders. However, in addition to Chibi, he also had the Molong Ring to heal him, so his recovery was naturally countless times faster than the two of them.
After Changsheng finished picking up the storage bags on the ground, he entered the pavilion of the adoption hall. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a while, I got two more brown storage bags and threw them to Mo Shu and the others. Then he slowly walked over and sat next to them.
"My mother! This? This?"
Xie Gu explored the storage bag, and his eyes almost fell out of surprise.
"What's wrong? What's all the fuss about?" Mo Shu was a little surprised and looked over at the storage bag.
"There are two hundred thousand spirit jade, right? And ten talismans? Oh my God! There are two bottles of second-grade elixir here, no, there is also a bottle of third-grade elixir."
The more Mo Shu talked, the more excited he became.
"Hahahaha, second sister, we are rich this time."
"You will be blessed and rich if you follow Mr. Mo." Mo Shu said and handed the storage bags to Changsheng.
"Huh? There's something about this hairpin." Changsheng took out a yellowed wooden women's hairpin and examined it.
"Senior Sister Mo is holding this hairpin. It is likely to be a treasure."
"Ultimate treasure?" Mo Shu and Xie Gu were surprised and carefully explored it with their spiritual consciousness, but found nothing unusual. It was no different from ordinary hairpins.
"Believe me, Senior Sister Mo. Although it is not certain yet, my soul will definitely not go wrong."
"No, no, little sir. How can I accept something so precious? This should belong to little sir."
"Don't refuse, you are the only girl among the four of us. This is a gift from God." Changsheng said and put the hairpin into Mo Shu's hand.
The so-called treasure is a necessary thing for refining spiritual weapons, even mysterious weapons and holy weapons. There are innate treasures and acquired treasures. Innate treasures are formed by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. They can be anything. The acquired treasure is refined by ancient and even ancient powers.
It's just that all that can be found in the Wuji Realm now are fragments of the treasure. In the eight hundred thousand years since the beginning of this era, almost no complete treasure has been unearthed.
Getting back to the topic, Changsheng forced the hairpin into Mo Shu's hand. Mo Shu saw that stubbornness could not lead to immortality, so he clasped his fists and said: "Since the young gentleman said this, then Mo Shu will be disrespectful. Mo Shu will not take the other ones."
"No, it's two different things. This is given to you by God, and the rest will be divided equally between us as agreed."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he saw the three young men still alive beside him. He suddenly stood up and blasted their Dantian with a palm.
Three white pebbles the size of cherries rolled to the ground along with a pile of flesh and blood. The three young men also fell to the ground clutching their lower abdomen in pain.
The three of them were wailing constantly, with painful expressions on their faces.
Changsheng looked at the three people carefully, then picked up three pebbles and looked at them again.
That's right, these people's lower abdomens are reflected by black spots, which is indeed different from those young assassins with black mist lingering on their lower abdomens.
Although the young assassin is no different from a real person in any aspect, once the holy stone is taken out of the Dantian, he will be like a walking zombie without any feelings, let alone pain.
The behavior was exactly the same as that of an out-of-control puppet, and it was obviously related to the pebbles the size of jujubes in their Dantian.
As for the people in the adoption hall, after the holy stones in their Dantian are taken out, they will suffer and cry out just like real people.
It seems that next time I encounter those assassins, I have to capture them and study them carefully.
Just as he was thinking about it, a red battleship quietly stopped over the adoption hall, and dozens of red-clad songbird guards suddenly descended from the sky. Pan Yue and others who got off the battleship also quickly came to the Changsheng trio.
"Stinky minced meat, you are really good at playing. You must bring me with you next time something like this happens." Xia Siyao said excitedly.
"Longevity, for such a big thing, why don't you three want to die?" Elder Man also blamed him.
"5 alive and 7 dead in total. There are more than forty children upstairs. These are the tokens in their bodies and are called sacred stones."
Changsheng said, pointing to the attic, and then pointed to the 11 white pebbles at his feet.
"What's so special about your soul? Can you actually sense the tokens in these people's dantian?" Elder Man couldn't help but glance at Changsheng's head, which made him shudder violently.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, so Pan Yue and the others naturally took over the aftermath of the Mingxi Adoption Hall, while Changsheng and the others sat in Mo Shu's cloud boat and rushed to Mingque City.
Changsheng was a little helpless. After devouring the true essence of the 11 people in the adoption hall, there was still no change in the sea of energy in his Dantian. Fortunately, although he suffered a few injuries, the demonic energy lingering around the Molong Ring in the sea of consciousness has increased a lot, and his soul seems to be a little different.
Mo Shu and the other three people on the side were in high spirits. Including the brown storage bag, there are more than 560,000 spiritual jade. In addition to a dozen bottles of elixir, there are also 4 bottles of second-grade elixirs, and 2 bottles of third-grade elixirs, worth more than 400,000 spiritual jade. And each of the dozen or so talismans is worth about ten thousand handfuls of spiritual jade.
And there are dynasty rewards later. Four people alive would be 200,000, and seven people killed would be 140,000, which is 340,000.
"Little sir, we, my brothers and sisters, only take 30% of these spiritual jade, talismans and elixirs. The rest are in this storage bag."
"We agreed to share it equally among the four of us." Changsheng smiled and did not take the storage bag.
"We haven't had time to repay the little gentleman for his life-saving kindness? What's more, the little gentleman has worked hard. We are very satisfied if we can get these."
"That's right, young sir. We are very satisfied if we can get these."
Seeing the insistence of Mo Shu and the others, Changsheng said helplessly: "In this way, I will take half and you will divide the other half."
"Stop refusing, let's leave it like this." Looking at Liu Xunfeng who was about to speak, Chang Sheng quickly said again.
"Okay, it's better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you, young gentleman." The three of them hugged their fists gratefully again.
The 280,000 pieces of spiritual jade made Changsheng a little excited. Including the more than 300,000 yuan saved, he and Xiaoyu now have more than 500,000 Lingyu. Although those elixirs cannot enter the eyes of immortals, they are still worth more than 200,000 spirit jade.
"By the way, little sir. I suspect that Mingxi Adoption Hall is related to Tianyuan City Tianniu Adoption Hall." Liu Xunfeng suddenly remembered the four children with spiritual roots.
"Beetle Adoption Hall?"
"Yes, more than thirty years ago, I once investigated a missing case of a child with spiritual roots in Tianyuan City. And this case finally pointed to the Tianniu Adoption Hall."
"And it's possible that there is a connection between not just these two adoption halls?"
Liu Xunfeng thought for a while and then said: "When I was checking Tianniu adoption halls, I discovered something very strange. All eleven private adoption halls in the dynasty were established one after another in the past five years more than 120 years ago. . But it was the same person who came to the Chaoyang Dynasty Finance and Taxation Office to register the eleven adoption halls."
"What happened next?" Changsheng asked.
"When I was about to conduct an in-depth investigation, I encountered obstacles from within the dynasty. Later, I was framed by a traitor because of this matter, and finally left the Tianyuan City arrest yamen."
After Liu Xunfeng finished speaking, Changsheng began to ponder: Are the eleven adoption halls the same force? Judging from this, don't the other ten people in the adoption hall also have holy stones?
Thinking of this, Changsheng became excited: "How are your injuries?"
"With the little gentleman's spiritual fluid, it will naturally be fine."
"Okay, bring me the map."
