The next day, Qian Chao's residence.
Five people gathered here at Qian Chao, and today is the day for them to practice together.
Putting down the tea cup, Tang Ping said:
"Boy Qian, my master is very concerned about whether Ah Jiu can get the demon elixir of Arrow Pig and Hao Xiaoniao. He even specifically asked me how your formation is arranged, but how do I know this? Ah Jiu is so I haven’t gone to the Thousand Needles Pine Forest for a few days, but my master has already lost his temper.”
This should be a good thing. After Ah Jiu returns from Thousand Needles Pine Forest with satisfaction, Fairy Guhuo will have a clearer understanding of Qian Chao's methods.
At this time, Lu Pingchuan took out a small storage bag and handed it to Tang Ping and said:
"Sister Tang, this is yours."
Then he took out another one and handed it to Qian Chao and said:
"Brother Qian, this is yours."
Inside the storage bag Tang Ping got were more than fifty small apricot-yellow balls, which looked like they were carved out of warm topaz. Although the sizes varied, each one was about the size of a walnut. Tang Ping slowly He poured the small balls out of the bag onto the table and reached out to grab them one by one. He brought them to his eyes and took a closer look. They were the demon pills for the mid-level monsters that Qian Chao brought out from the Thousand Needles Pine Forest. , these are great supplements to the spirit beasts raised by Tang Ping. In the past, she fed those spirit beasts ordinary low-level demon pills, but now there are so many intermediary demon pills, which makes Tang Ping smile.
Qian Chao's storage bag contained round, crystal clear stones, as big as melons and as small as dates. Qian Chao took out a few pieces and played with them, immediately attracting Tang Ping's attention. After passing by, she hurriedly put all the demon pills into the storage bag, cleared the table for Qian Chao, and then asked Qian Chao to place the beautiful stones on the table, and followed Qian Chao one by one. Escaping from the storage bag, he was still talking about the names of these stones, such as citrine, sapphire, jadeite, flame crystal, etc., and the entire table was almost occupied. These stones were of various colors. There are all of them, including red, blue, brown, and colorless. Although these stones have irregular shapes, almost every one of them has not even a trace of debris inside, and is extremely pure.
Several people were originally attracted by the demon pills in Tang Ping's hand, but now they were stunned when they saw so many beautiful stones on the table. They leaned over to take a closer look. Tang Ping reached out and took a piece in his hand and held it close to his eyes. Looking at it carefully, the other people also imitated her behavior, watching and marveling.
"Brother Qian, what kind of stones are these?" Li Jian asked after holding one in his hand and looking at it for a while.
"Yes, it's so beautiful! What kind of stone is this?" Yanxuan also said.
Lu Pingchuan said proudly:
"Hey, these are from the body of a big guy. My master said that kind of monster is called a wart. This guy used pine oil to stick these stones to his body as armor. Originally, these stones had a The layer of dusty pine tar was as ugly as the stones that could be seen everywhere, and the pine oil was firmly stuck to the warty body. I didn’t know how to remove these stones at first, so I originally thought of using a knife to pry them off. , my master taught me a way to spray it with strong liquor. Hey, as soon as the strong liquor arrived, all the pine oil melted and all the stones fell down. Who knew these stones would look so beautiful after being washed clean? , Brother Qian, are these gems?”
Qian Chao looked at the full table and said happily:
"Even so, I didn't expect to get so much."
"Boy Qian, you won't smash these stones and grind them into powder to make talismans. What a pity!" Tang Ping said.
This was indeed the case when Qian Chao made powerful talismans in the past. He asked Lu Pingchuan to smash and grind some gems that Tang Ping and Yanxuan looked very beautiful. Then he mixed the powder with cinnabar and dissolved it with spiritual tea water. Tang Ping and Yan Xuan felt extremely distressed when they came to make talismans.
There is a kind of beast soul talisman in this talisman method, which is to seal the souls of monsters and beasts in the talisman to enhance the power of the talisman. One step further is the so-called "dirty talisman", which uses the soul of the monk to strengthen the talisman. Power, the method of making dirty talismans is definitely considered a magic in the world of cultivation. Qian Chao hates dirty talismans, and he also stays away from beast soul talismans. In the science of talismans, the orthodox way to enhance the power of talismans is the most common one. It is a powder made from ground gemstones. Of course, such gemstones are difficult to find. I didn't expect to find so many this time, which naturally made Qian Chao happy.
Qian Chao pointed at the stones on the table and said:
"Most of them can be used to make talismans, and the quality of these gems is quite good. A small number of them can be used to refine weapons. The larger the stones in front of you, the lower their value is. On the contrary, the smaller these stones are, …”
As he spoke, Qian Chao reached out and picked up a brown pebble as small as a grape from the table and said:
"The smaller it is, the more precious it is. Like this one, I can't bear to smash it and grind it into powder. This one can be used to refine weapons."
Tang Ping reached out and took the brown stone, looked at it and asked:
"What can be used to refine something so small?"
"There are three branches in the science of weapon refining, swords, armor, and miscellaneous weapons. These small gems are used to refine miscellaneous weapons, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, etc. with special effects... …”
Hearing this, Tang Ping suddenly became interested. She lowered her head and searched on the table. Then she picked out a small sky-blue pebble the size of a soybean and said to Qian Chao:
"Hey, Mr. Qian, I want a ring."
"Oh, you are too impatient. These stones are at least mid-level materials. Don't say that I can't refine a magic weapon now. Even if I use it to refine a ring for you now, it is also a magic weapon and a magic weapon. It can only be used by the foundation monks, but you can't use it now. Wait until the future. After the foundation is established in the future, I will definitely use these gems to refine a batch of miscellaneous utensils and ornaments that we can all use."
"So that's it." Tang Ping put the little gem back in her hand with some disappointment.
Next, the five people practiced for a day according to the "Five Elements Condensing Spirit Formation". By the time the five people practiced for the day, it was already approaching evening. After walking out of the secret room under Qian Chao, several people walked in Qian Chao again. Drink tea and chat in the pavilion in the Chaozhou courtyard.
During this time, Lu Pingchuan said that Qian Chao had brought back many monsters from the Thousand Needles Pine Forest this time. When he came back, his master Kang Fu became interested and taught Lu Pingchuan some new dishes. Therefore, Lu Pingchuan also invited Several companions will go to his place to taste delicious food in a few days.
"Boy Qian," Tang Ping asked, remembering another thing, "Since you have found out about Zhu Yuan and Wei Gelin, please tell everyone."
Several people remembered the two names Zhang Yi said at that time, and after hearing the words, they all looked at Qian Chao.
Qian Chao said:
"Okay, I asked about those two people from Feng You. Hmm, guess what Feng You said when he heard that Zhang Yi wanted to use those two people to deal with us?"
Yanxuan asked:
"How did he say?"
"Feng You directly called Zhang Yi vicious."
Li Jian said:
"So, Zhu Yan and Wei Gelin are very powerful people?"
Lu Pingchuan said:
"Hey, that's what makes it interesting!"
Qian Chao continued:
"Zhu Yuan and Wei Gelin, these two people were indeed expelled by the sect. These two people are not brothers in the same sect, but one thing is the same, that is, their masters are both surnamed sect, which means that these two people are both surnamed Zong. Everyone’s masters are monks from the Wuling Sect.”
Hearing this, Tang Ping couldn't help but said:
"No wonder, no wonder Zhang Yi is interested in these two people. Zong Xiang is also a member of the Wuling Sect. Do Zhu Yi and Wei Gelin both think that Zong Xi can help them return to the Wuling Sect?"
"That's true. Zhu Yan's master is named Zong Shucuo. He is an uncle of Zong Xi. Zong Shucuo is the Danjie Elder of Shuiyun Valley's Yuling Sect..."
Speaking of this, Tang Ping nodded and said:
"That's right."
It seems that Tang Ping has heard of this elder with the surname of the clan.
Qian Chao continued:
"When Zhu Yuan was expelled from the sect, his cultivation level was at the seventh level of Qi refining. What he did at that time was secretly practicing forbidden arts, and he even killed people in fights. If the person who died was an ordinary person, nothing would have happened. However, the person he killed was a young dude in the sect at that time. Therefore, the elders of the family discovered the secret of the Zhu Cloak after investigating. We had discussed the evil and forbidden arts in the spiritual world together a long time ago. Tang At that time, the girl talked about some of the sorcery of the Yuling Sect, and I remember it seemed to be 'putting a human soul into an animal's body', right?"
Tang Ping had heard Qian Chao talk about these two people a few days ago, so he was not surprised when he heard it again and said:
"Yes, that is indeed evil magic."
A few people were still impressed by this method, because it was really unbelievable, so when Tang Ping said it, everyone was deeply impressed. The so-called human soul entering the body of an animal refers to a spirit-controlling monk. Of course, it is a spirit-controlling monk with evil intentions. When he dislikes the lack of power of his own spirit beast, he will have some evil thoughts. The most frightening one is to kill another person. A monk extracted his soul and temporarily sealed it, then cast a spell to expel the soul of the spirit beast he raised, and then used secret techniques to integrate the soul of the unlucky monk into the body of the soulless spirit beast. In this way, this evil-minded person The spirit-controlling monk got an extremely smart spiritual beast. After all, having the monk's soul in that spiritual beast is equivalent to opening up spiritual intelligence. Generally speaking, the spirit beasts of the spirit master monks will become smarter the longer they are raised and the higher their level of cultivation. The more intelligent the spirit beasts are, their combat power is naturally incomparable to those ordinary spirit beasts that are ignorant of chaos. Of course, this practice will inevitably be regarded as evil magic.
Li Jian frowned and said:
"Could it be that Zhu Hao used this method on his own spiritual beast?"
Qian Chao said;
"What he did didn't go that far. He put the human soul into the beast's body, replacing the original soul of the spiritual beast with the soul of the monk. But what Zhu Hao did was to 'exchange the soul of the beast for the soul of the beast'. He used a more powerful You can use the spirit beast's soul to replace the original soul of your own spirit beast. This can also achieve the result of improving the spirit beast's combat power, but this method goes one step further and is the so-called 'putting the human soul into the beast's body'..."
Tang Ping said immediately:
"Even so, what Zhu Hao did was definitely a forbidden technique forbidden by the Yuling Sect. Well, plus the lives he caused, that's why he was expelled."
At this point, a few people had a rough understanding of Zhu Yan's past. After a while, Yanxuan asked from the side:
"There is also Wei Gelin. What has this person done?"
"Wei Gelin, this person's master is named Zong Shuyu, and he is Zong Xi's uncle..."
Tang Ping immediately said:
"He is also the Danjie elder of Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley."
Tang Ping not only practiced the art of controlling spirits with Fairy Guhuo, but also practiced the art of controlling ice with her sixth grandfather. Well, there was also Fairy Ejing of Yueyinglin in Shuiyun Valley. She practiced illusion with Fairy Ejing. She knows the most about Shuiyun Valley.
"Yes," Qian Chao continued, "Wei Gelin was expelled because he practiced forbidden arts. The forbidden arts he practiced are said to be called 'Blood Ice Art'..."
Having said this, Qian Chao looked at Tang Ping. Tang Ping knew about this forbidden technique, so Tang Ping continued to tell his companions.
Tang Ping said:
"The art of blood and ice is a spell that uses one's own essence and blood to turn into cold air. I heard from my sixth grandfather that this spell was very popular a long time ago because it was very powerful, but later the monks found that they often used this spell. The spell will cause the monk's own energy and blood to be insufficient, which is naturally harmful to the monk, and... and if it is to be reversed... Alas! In addition to using elixirs to relieve the problem, some monks found that if they suck the essence and blood of other monks, they will no longer be able to heal. By transforming it with secret techniques, you can quickly replenish your own lost blood essence without causing any damage to yourself. However, over time, this monk will inevitably become an evil cultivator, almost the same as the nightmare blood evil cultivator that we have heard of. Because of this, Later, Bibotan listed this blood-ice technique as a forbidden technique and strictly prohibited its disciples from practicing it."
"So that's it!" Yanxuan said in shock.
Qianchao Interface said:
"Yes, Feng You told me that there was an imperial examination in the early years. At that time, Wei Gelin didn't have to go on stage because he had a disciple, but he couldn't stand it because he had an enemy in the sect who had serious conflicts with him, so he went on stage to challenge him. That time Wei Gelin There was a fierce fight with him in the ring. The other party was clever, but he was still at a disadvantage and was later defeated. But Wei Gelin was not willing to endure the humiliation of being defeated in public, so he continued to fight before the Cheng Guan grace test was over. He challenged the opponent, but the place of action was outside the sect, so he used the blood and ice technique to directly kill the opponent outside. The person he killed had a teacher, and there were also people in their private competition. Looking on, the master of the man who later died saw clues from his disciple’s corpse, so he made a fuss about it, and Wei Gelin was expelled because of this.”
Li Jian frowned and said:
"Hmph, I think all forbidden arts are evil arts. No wonder Zhang Yi plans to use these two people to deal with us."
"Actually," Qian Chao said, "I always feel that Zhang Yi has other plans, but we haven't discovered them yet."
"What else can there be?" Tang Ping asked.
Qian Chao shook his head and said;
"I don't know this now, but I always have this feeling. It's not all Zhang Yi's plan to return the cloak to Wei Gelin. There must be something else. I'll ask people carefully in the past few days. I'll wait until there is more news. Tell everyone.”
