Ning Tao nodded when he heard this, turned over his hands and took out the two jade slips of the martial arts given by Hyacinth, and recited the contents to Lingyue.
...
Half a day later, Ning Tao, with a gloomy face, sat cross-legged in the alchemy room, wondering what he was thinking.
.......
I don't know how much time passed before Ning Tao turned over his hand and took out his identity token.
His spiritual sense penetrated into it, and he discovered that this object turned out to be a simple magic weapon, which had the functions of communicating, recording military achievements, and making a simple map.
At first glance, I realized how huge this Abyss City was.
The underground area alone is hundreds of miles wide, and the area above is even larger, as large as a thousand miles.
There are also some simple annotations, such as the Alchemy Hall, the Weapon Refining Hall, the Talisman Hall, the Formation Hall, and the Mission Hall.
And each giant tower has its own number according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
For example, the identity token in Ning Tao's hand is marked with the words "Jia Mao Shuai Twelve Generals, One Lieutenant and Six".
This Jia Mao should be the number of this giant tower, and this handsome twelve should be the golden armored demon commander on the twelfth floor of Guidan Palace.
General one is Hyacinth's number on this layer, and Wei six should be his own number.
If this is the case, there should be a soldier level, but he does not command the magic soldiers, so there is no magic soldier number below.
He briefly studied the map, and then put on the red-armored magic weapon assigned to him.
Ning Tao walked out of the alchemy room, asked the demon soldiers patrolling outside, and then went directly to the mission hall in the alchemy palace.
........
Come to this mission hall and look at the densely packed missions above.
Ning Tao randomly found an elixir mission that he could use, received ten sets of materials, and went directly to the exchange list.
You can see that the top one is a heaven and earth spiritual object called the Sacred Heart Essence, an auxiliary object that assists the progression from the integration stage to the Mahayana stage.
Ning Tao couldn't help but gasped when he saw that its exchange value was as high as 100 million war merits.
In addition, there are many precious ancient treasures, martial arts books and the like.
Ning Tao, who kept browsing down, soon saw the treasures used by monks such as Lianxu and God Transformation.
When it came to the treasures used by the demons to refine the void and transform into gods, the types immediately became more numerous.
There are many bloodline powers and strange magic weapons among them.
Among them, Ning Tao is most concerned about the treasures that assist in advanced cultivation.
After taking a closer look, I found that there were quite a few treasures that could assist in advanced cultivation.
These include Qing Ming Pill, Yang Fire Pill, Holy Blood Stone Marrow, Blood Flame Fruit, etc.
However, the cheapest Qingming Pill here also requires 30,000 merits, and the Yanghuo Pill requires 40,000 merits. As for the Holy Blood Stone Marrow and Blood Flame Fruit, it requires 80,000 merits and Blood Flame Fruit respectively.
As for the value of these two heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the Holy Blood Stone Marrow can not only help advance in refining the void, but also has the effect of greatly increasing qualifications.
The effect of the blood flame fruit is even greater. There is a high probability that the monk will be able to develop an innate magical power called blood flame after advancing.
This magical power is similar to the violent blood pill that Ning Tao came into contact with in the lower realm. It can store a certain amount of blood essence and allow the monks to burn the blood essence to increase their own strength when encountering danger. It does not cause the sequelae like the violent blood pill. It is irreversible, just need to re-condensate the essence and blood.
In addition, Ning Tao also saw the subsequent exercises of "True Demon Holy Body", from the foundation building stage to the integration stage.
And it can be purchased in layers, and the price is not expensive. The Void Refining Stage only requires 10,000 merit points, while the price of the Fusion Stage reaches 100,000 merit points.
After searching for a long time in the skill area, Ning Tao finally found the skill that allows ghosts to practice demon skills, "Netherworld Yin Demon Skill". This skill can be purchased in several parts.
One is the first half. After cultivating to the level of becoming a god, the rest can be purchased layer by layer.
However, this technique is much more expensive than the "True Demon Holy Body", and it only requires 20,000 meritorious deeds to transform into a god.
Ning Tao burned a copy of the content and prepared to leave directly.
At this time, a long-faced demon with four eyes suddenly blocked Ning Tao's path and asked.
Ning Tao was suddenly blocked by this person and gave him a wary look.
"This Brother Demon is the latest brother Yuan Wang to be accepted as a disciple by Master Hyacinth?"
When Ning Tao heard this, he nodded silently, not knowing what this demon wanted to do.
The demon was indeed right when he saw it, and he hugged Ning Tao with a smile on his face.
"Brother Yuan, don't get me wrong. My name is Si Long, and he is an alchemist from the Four-Eyed Demon Clan. I heard that fellow Taoist was accepted as a disciple by Senior Hyacinth, so I went out of my way to get to know him."
When Ning Tao heard this, he put down his guard and returned the favor with a smile on his face.
"It turns out to be brother Si Long. I wonder if I have any business with you?"
Si Long heard this.
"Since brother can be accepted as a disciple by Senior Si Long, he should have two brushes. I just want to tell brother that if you have extra pills, you can contact us. The specific price is not convenient to say, but I will definitely give brother a satisfactory answer. price.”
After saying this, he took out a communication magic stone with his backhand and handed it to Ning Taotao.
"If necessary, fellow Taoist can contact me, or go directly to the 24th floor of the Alchemy Hall, room C, 22nd room to find me."
"Of course, fellow Taoists can come to me if they want anything. Of course, there are also underground exchange meetings. Fellow Taoists can also contact me if they need it."
When Ning Tao heard this, he knew that this guy's job should be like a broker. He took the sound transmission magic stone and agreed with a smile.
.......
After Ning Tao returned to the alchemy room, he began his alchemy life.
Half a year later, Ning Tao was living in the alchemy room, practicing various exercises and refining elixirs.
Because of the help of the Chenyuan Alchemy Furnace, Ning Tao's alchemy speed was much faster than ordinary people.
In just half a year, he accumulated nearly 10,000 merits.
It's just that Ning Tao seemed to be refining elixirs with all his strength, but Hyacinth called him to scold him.
.......
"Ning Tao, although you can earn a lot of merit and get a lot of benefits by refining alchemy with all your strength, you should know that everything you have must be based on profound cultivation. You are putting the cart before the horse by slowing down your cultivation for the sake of alchemy. , which makes my teacher very disappointed."
Ning Tao recalled what Hyacinth had told him some time ago.
When Ning Tao heard about it, he immediately prostrated himself in fear and admitted his mistake.
When Hyacinth saw this, she didn't blame Ning Tao too much, but just asked him to spend more time on cultivation.
It was because I was addicted to alchemy at the beginning, and the years passed quickly. After I got old, I failed to break through several times, leaving hidden problems. As a result, my current cultivation level was stuck in the late stage of refining, and it was difficult to make any progress. The end was approaching.
After teaching Ning Tao, he promised that when he reaches the perfection of spiritual transformation and is about to break through the realm of refining the void, he will have his advanced items wrapped in his body.
Then he gave Ning Tao a lot of pills for practice.
However, Ning Tao did not use these elixirs for practice, but used the elixirs he refined for practice.
These pills were all exchanged by Ning Tao to Si Long in exchange for several treasures used to increase the power of spiritual consciousness.
However, Ning Tao has not yet absorbed and refined these treasures.
.......
On this day, Ning Tao, who was practicing, suddenly felt the alchemy room where he was sitting shaking.
Opening the door of the alchemy room, I saw many alchemists walking out.
He stopped an alchemist he was familiar with and asked what happened.
Only then did we know that the vanguard troops of the Shura tribe had arrived in Abyss City.
After Ning Tao heard this, he followed the alchemists and flew out.
Going outside through the top of the giant tower, I saw densely packed demons standing in mid-air.
Ning Tao, who came to the ground, found no trace of the Shura clan.
After waiting for a while, many silver-armored demon generals suddenly whispered something.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Tao heard a strange whistling sound suddenly coming from the horizon. As the sound became louder and louder, countless black spots suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon, overwhelming like a swarm of insects.
There were thousands of these black spots, and they were extremely fast. They approached Abyss City in the blink of an eye, and then stopped in front of Abyss City.
At this moment, the true identity of these black spots can be seen clearly. They are actually people with wings and two horns.
These late-arriving Shura tribes encountered stones towards the water, and naturally separated to both sides. However, these Shura tribes appeared continuously in the sky. For several hours, the black spots on the horizon were still appearing in an endless stream, as if they were endless. generally.
Until Abyss City is surrounded.
At this moment, a huge thunder sounded, and then three huge mountains-like objects appeared on the horizon.
This object is more than ten miles in size, and its body is black with blood. It appears like a cone-like city in front of the demons.
Next to this giant city, teams of Shura tribesmen wearing armors flew forward around the city in unusual order.
This object looks heavy and heavy, but it is actually very fast, directly smashing through the clouds in the sky during flight.
After these three giant cities appeared, they surrounded Abyss City in a triangle.
Then, black shuttles of more than ten feet in size flew out from inside, with both ends pointed.
Nearly ten thousand black shuttles trapped the Abyss City tightly, and then they saw these black shuttles emitting strips of black mist, connected in series with each other.
It was like a huge net bag that tightly trapped Abyss City.
Then I saw countless huge steel ships appearing in the distant sky. Groups of tall and ugly Shura tribesmen lined up neatly on them, slowly approaching this place.
On the Abyss City side, it seemed that they had already prepared, as huge battleships also sailed out of the city and headed out of the city.
On the battleships, there are also densely packed four-color demon armies.
The two sides got closer and closer, and soon became intertwined.
Countless Shuras and the black-armored demon army were fighting together.
The blood energy surged straight into the sky, the demonic energy billowed, making people unable to see clearly, and countless black spots fell towards the bottom of the abyss city like raindrops.
The armies of both sides numbered more than ten million, and they were fighting together so unexpectedly.
