How much is a live second-level explosive ape worth?
This demon is classified into the fire attribute, has a violent temper, is inhumane, and is extremely difficult to tame.
Without special means of controlling the beast, the value of this demon is not high. It is just killed to obtain materials, and it can be sold for four to five thousand spirit stones at most.
It is different from the Fiery Yunpeng purchased by Luo Chen.
Although Liehuo Yunpeng is also a second-order monster, it is an extremely difficult bird-like monster to catch. If a pair of wings is complete, it is the best second-order casting material.
Therefore, the price of Liehuo Yunpeng has remained high.
In comparison, the value of the Explosive Ape in the hands of others is very low.
But, this is only for others.
Luo Chen is different!
He is an alchemist, and he happens to have a prescription for the blood of the Explosive Ape Demon.
At this moment, Luo Chen looked at the miserable and bloody Exploding Ape, feeling very excited in his heart.
"If you use the blood of the second-level explosive ape demon to refine the blood-burning pill, what will its power be like?"
"Does this mean it can be used by foundation-building cultivators?"
In this way, the value of the Blood Burning Pill will skyrocket.
Although the current price of Burning Blood Pill is comparable to that of ordinary second-level pills.
But that's also because of its special effects.
If second-level demon blood is used as the main material, it will definitely become a real second-level elixir with special effects.
"hey-hey……"
"What are you giggling at?"
In the wasteland that was in a mess and could be called ruins, Wang Yuan walked over as if walking on plain ground.
Walking closer, he raised his eyebrows.
"Won't you kill him?"
"I will keep this beast for the time being."
He did not intend to kill this second-level Explosive Ape, but to keep it in captivity and extract its blood to make elixirs to maximize its use.
"Then I'll give you this demon pill!"
While speaking, Wang Yuan casually threw the demon pill he had captured before to Luo Chen.
As soon as Luo Chen took it, the unconscious Baoyuan at his feet twitched.
"Yo! Its instinct is to take back this natal demon pill."
Luo Chen grinned and looked at the demon pill in his hand.
Blood lines, like small snakes, densely wrapped around the fist-sized crystal core.
A large amount of pure demonic power is vaguely visible in the crystal core.
Outside the crystal core, in addition to the blood line, there is also a thin cyan barrier.
This is the poisonous green musk scent released by the Green Musk Jujiao Banner.
The reason why Wang Yuan was able to calmly prevent the demon pill from exploding was partly due to Luo Chen.
The two of them didn't waste much time. There were still a lot of things going on in Xianyue Valley.
Spiritual power surged out of Luo Chen's hand, clattering into chains, binding the corpse of the Explosive Ape.
Dragging this unconscious body, he flew towards Xianyue Valley.
"It's a pity that it has shrunk so much. Otherwise, we would have made a fortune just selling monster meat."
Wang Yuan, who was walking side by side, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Luo Chen's tone of voice that sounded like a money fan.
"The bigger the monster is, the better."
"Um?"
"When you have time, you should really read the book "Tianpeng Transformation". It contains many introductions to monsters."
After Wang Yuan explained, Luo Chen understood why the second-order monster beast had such extreme changes in its body shape.
If the body is too large, the need for food will be higher.
Even the slightest movement will consume a lot of energy and blood.
Therefore, many monsters will instinctively start to evolve their practice direction when they advance to the second level.
Shift the focus of practice from physical fitness to the accumulation of demonic power.
Demon pill!
This is the result of the practice of monster beasts.
Unlike human monks, it often takes the golden elixir stage to condense the golden elixir.
When the monster reaches the second level, it will condense the monster elixir.
At this time, they embarked on a path of cultivation similar to that of the human race.
Store the spiritual energy absorbed by swallowing and breathing into the demon elixir, and transform it into your own demonic power.
Once in a combat situation, huge demonic power pours out. In addition to releasing magic, it can also expand the body size.
After listening to this explanation, Luo Chen suddenly realized why most of the meat sold on the market was first-order monster meat.
It is obvious that the second-level monsters are larger in size and weight, so they should produce more meat.
It turned out that all the essence of his body was gathered into the demon pill.
When Xiong Kun sold his Liehuo Yunpeng, he also focused on the demon elixir and wings.
Li Huo Yunpeng didn't pay much attention to the tens of thousands of pounds of meat on his body. I had thought before that I could just sell it to casual cultivators in the Qi refining period.
"From this point of view, "Tianpeng Transformation" is indeed somewhat unique."
Luo Chen admired, and then his heart moved.
There happened to be a corpse of a roc bird monster in his storage bag.
If it is refined, a lot of blood essence can be extracted, which can be used to supply Wang Yuan to practice the Tianpeng Transformation.
Wang Yuan didn't know Luo Chen's psychological activities and sighed: "After all, it is a technique for the third level of body training, so how can it be useless."
"Then the way Brother Wang changed his body just now was also derived from the "Tianpeng Transformation"?"
Wang Yuan shook his head, "That's not true. I have learned this trick a long time ago. It is the use of Qi, blood and body. However, "Tianpeng Transformation" did give me a lot of ideas."
Luo Chen blinked, "Then you want to practice the Tianpeng Transformation?"
He had decided that if Wang Yuan really needed it, he would give Wang Yuan some of the blood essence and blood in Liehuo Yunpeng's corpse.
The remaining part is enough for him to refine the Imperial Ooze in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yuan curled his lips.
"How can the demon-like transformation compare to my human true body? This method can only be used as a reference. If it can perfect my innate skills in the second level of body refining, it will be worth it."
"As for comprehensive cultivation, I will never abandon the fundamentals and pursue the inferior."
Hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but nodded.
Monsters are strong, but not that strong.
Humans of the same level can deal with monsters as long as they have more methods.
The demon-like transformation does seem undesirable.
Moreover, the "Tianpeng Transformation" technique is still incomplete, and I can't even start practicing it if I really want to.
While the two were chatting, they had unknowingly returned to the outside of Xianyue Valley.
…
"The president is back!"
"Look, what is that?"
"Hiss, monster!"
"It seems to be still alive!"
As Luo Chen and Wang Yuan returned, the cultivators from Luo Tian's congregation who had finished the battle gathered around them.
There was an endless stream of cheers.
Especially after seeing the explosive ape, they all exclaimed.
Even Sima Huiniang and others who were approaching could not help but look frightened.
This is a second-level monster!
Ordinary Qi Refining monks are not his enemies.
It is already difficult to win, and it is even more unimaginable to kill.
Now, Luo Chen and Wang Yuan joined forces and captured him alive.
Doesn't this mean that together, the two of them already have strength that exceeds that of a second-order monster?
Compared to the human race's foundation building, I'm afraid it's not much different!
In the crowd, Duan Feng watched this scene with intense eyes.
"A true man, this is what you should do!"
Many eyes surrounded him, and Wang Yuan frowned.
This battle cost him a lot.
There is no need to stay here, Luo Chen is more suitable to handle these things than him.
Without saying anything else, Wang Yuan flew directly into Xianyue Valley.
Luo Chen walked through the crowd step by step, looking around with his eyes as sharp as a sword. Everyone could not help but avoid them.
But soon, everyone's fanatical eyes followed Luo Chen's back.
Today's battle once again established Luo Chen's position in the meeting.
It's not just as simple as mastering the superb alchemy technique.
He also has strong enough strength to convince everyone!
With the power of one person, he can navigate the tide of beasts and come and go as he pleases.
Even when faced with second-level monsters, they can be captured alive.
Everyone knows that Zhantang Wang Yuan is very strong, stronger than everyone knows.
But even Wang Yuan would find it difficult to capture a second-level monster alive.
In other words, Luo Chen contributed a lot in the battle in the wasteland.
Arriving at the city gate, Luo Chen turned around.
He didn't waste any words and gave orders directly.
"Come on two late-stage Qi Refining monks and push this explosive ape into the dungeon and lock it up."
"Don't worry about it exploding. The demon pill is in my hand and it's poisoned. I won't be able to resist in a short time."
Soon, two late-stage Qi refining monks came out and directly used the traction technique.
Using spiritual power as a chain, he pulled the corpse of the explosive ape and flew into the Xianyue Valley.
At the beginning of construction, the lower part of Xianyue Valley was expanded.
There is a huge natural mine inside, but it can be used with a little repair.
Now, it is more than enough to imprison this second-level monster.
After handling the explosive ape matter, Luo Chen continued to give orders.
"Hall Master Murong will count the casualties and merits, and reward those who have merited and punished tomorrow."
"Caiyi, you and Granny Yuan will take care of the injured brothers."
"Duan Feng, you lead the people to repair the fortifications and make up for the deficiencies in the formation. You must not let the young people take advantage of it."
It is impossible to say that no one noticed such a big battle breaking out in Xianyue Valley.
It's just that things are not clear at the moment, so those casual cultivators dare not act rashly.
Luo Chen had just glanced around and noticed that many casual cultivators were approaching.
He issued orders one after another as a precaution.
He even asked Sima Xian and Qin Liangchen to patrol nearby with two teams of troops.
At the end, he said quietly:
"President Sima Huiniang, law enforcement elder Zhou Yuanli, you come with me."
…
In the bright moon hall.
Luo Chen sat up high and closed his eyes slightly.
I just took a Chenchen Pill, plus the automatic Qi recovery function of Changchun Gong. The large amount of spiritual energy currently consumed in the body is slowly recovering.
Below him, Sima Huiniang and Zhou Yuanli stood on both sides respectfully, not daring to breathe.
Now, after experiencing the Battle of Xianyue Valley, the Battle of Fu Family, and the recent Battle of Beast Tide, Luo Chen's evil aura is getting stronger and stronger.
Having been in a high position for a long time, his words and deeds all reveal the power of the superior.
Zhou Yuanli, who had followed him the longest, felt the deepest.
In the past, Luo Chen would often joke and act cute.
But nowadays, he rarely sees those scenes.
It's not appropriate for the time, or it's time to stay in its place and nourish its energy.
After a while, Luo Chen opened his eyes.
Looking at the two of them, his tone was calm, not gentle, but not harsh either.
"Where did the beast tide come from?"
The first sentence points directly to the essence of the matter.
Zhou Yuanli bowed and said: "The spiritual vein confinement formation in the inner city of Dahefang was broken, and a large amount of spiritual energy spread thousands of miles around, forming a place of spiritual prosperity. Therefore, long ago, there were low-level monsters that followed their instincts and entered the outer city."
"The answer I want is not this." Luo Chen slowly shook his head.
Sima Huiniang hesitated and said: "According to reports from the people below, this wave of beasts is mainly composed of ape-like monsters. Among the nearest mountains, only Zhouyi Mountain, which belongs to the Guyuan Mountains, is home to a large number of such monsters."
"So, the beast tide should come from Zhouyi Mountain."
Luo Chen's face turned gloomy as he stared at the two of them.
"Zhouyi Mountain is hundreds of miles away from Xieyue Valley. Even if the monster beasts run fast and can get here quickly, why should they sacrifice the distance for the sake of the distance with their strong sense of territory?"
"If you want to find a spiritual place, you should go to the nearest outer city."
"Right?"
Sima Huiniang and Zhou Yuanli looked at each other.
For a moment, he was asked.
Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Someone should be targeting me, Luo Tianhui, for this matter!"
As soon as these words came out, the two people below couldn't help being shocked.
They also knew that this tide of beasts was strange, but they didn't think deeply about it.
After all, there have been quite a few monsters running around in the outer city of Dahefang recently.
The only thing that surprised them was why the monsters from Zhouyi Mountain came here.
At this moment, Luo Chen broke the news and couldn't help but make them shudder.
Who would go to such great lengths to deal with Luo Tianhui?
Luo Chen sighed inwardly, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.
Three or four months have passed since the inner city of Dahefang turned into a ghost town.
For such a long time, there was no news from the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.
For casual cultivators, this may be good news.
But for him, it wasn't so good.
This means that his days of holding Pang Renxiong's token and pretending to be powerful are coming to an end.
If it's two months later, the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect still hasn't come back.
Sooner or later, someone will be unable to resist taking action against Luo Tianhui.
This time the tide of beasts is probably just a test in advance.
And those foundation-building monks are the biggest suspects!
"The beast tide must be caused by humans!"
"But how to induce it, there must be corresponding means, otherwise no force in Dahefang can withstand the impact of beast tides again and again."
Luo Chen looked at the two of them, "Check the inside of the Luo Tianhui! Find out everything that might attract the second-order Explosive Ape."
"As you command!"
"As you command!"
As the two of them retreated, Luo Chen rubbed his brows.
The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop!
The seemingly peaceful Dahefang has undercurrents all the time.
As Luo Tianhui develops better and better, it will undoubtedly become a piece of fat that many people covet.
I have to think of a solution myself.
He was worried, but not panicked.
Because as early as when I decided to stay in Dahefang, I had already imagined the current situation.
Now, we are just about to face it.
"This is a time of crisis for our sincerity... maybe we can follow the example of the past?"
The murmur echoed faintly in the vast hall.
…
Early the next morning.
The ninth-level Qi Refining monks entered and exited the Haoyue Hall one by one.
Zhou Yuanli, Duan Feng, Qin Liangchen, Murong Qinglian...
Luo Chen was at the top and did not speak, leaving everything to Sima Huiniang to take charge.
He just listens from the side, and only intervenes when critical issues are encountered.
"In the battle last night, the monks in the valley suffered very little damage. The only one who suffered huge losses was the war hall."
"A total of eleven war hall monks died in the beast tide. In addition, two more have lost their combat effectiveness. I'm afraid they will never be able to return to their peak for the rest of their lives."
Eleven dead and two seriously wounded.
This is almost half of the war hall.
If Luo Chen didn't come back quickly, even if Luo Tian would win this battle, he would lose the sharp sword of Zhan Tang.
Even so, it was a heavy loss.
Murong Qinglian's report is still continuing.
"The damage to the fortifications was not great, but a full ten middle-grade spiritual stones were consumed, which is a huge expenditure."
"Elder Duan is accelerating the repair of the defenses in an attempt to restore the Small Five Elements Formation to its peak state."
"For this, there will be an expenditure required."
…
"President Sima, what do you think?"
When the report was over, Sima Huiniang frowned.
She said without thinking: "The repair of the fortifications is a top priority. If you tell me the number of needed spiritual stones, they will be replenished immediately."
"The remaining war hall monks should be greatly commended."
"The reward standard will be implemented according to my pre-war mobilization. However, the restrictions can be slightly relaxed, and the high-level magic weapon Talisman can be exchanged for their equivalent."
"A seriously injured monk should not be insulted lightly. My suggestion is to include him in the logistics department and use his remaining strength."
Decisions came out one after another from her mouth.
From the beginning to the end, Luo Chen next to him didn't say anything to stop him.
In fact, Sima Huiniang had already discussed this with him before.
Luo Tianhui's losses were indeed huge.
But the main focus is on casualties.
The real material loss is actually not much.
The estates of the eleven Zhantang monks who died were directly confiscated.
This inheritance alone can be used as a reward and distributed.
And the more than two hundred monster beasts were killed on the spot.
Part of it belongs to the Executioner.
There were many left, but Luo Chen personally killed them.
These first-order monster meat are good things.
After a little processing, it can be sold.
One piece of spiritual stone and ten pounds of meat can return ten thousand or twenty thousand spiritual stones.
The rest of the fur, blood, and bones are not included.
The only thing Luo Chen interfered with was the reward for the surviving monks.
He asked Sima Huiniang to relax her restrictions and no longer just strictly follow the standards.
Instead, those monks can use equivalent items, plus merit points earned, to exchange for many high-grade magic weapons and high-grade talismans from the Luo Tianhui.
The intention of this move is self-evident.
If quantity is not enough, then quality will make up for it.
The remaining group of people must increase their combat power!
It just so happens that there are indeed so many high-grade magic weapons in Luo Tianhui.
After three wars, although many magic weapons were destroyed, a lot of good things were also captured.
Duan Feng had repaired many magic weapons before, and now he had taken them all out, which was enough to arm the monks of Luo Tian Hui Zhan Hall to the teeth.
After Murong Qinglian left with satisfaction, peace returned to the Haoyue Hall.
Sima Huiniang still didn't dare to relax.
After all, she had only taken office for a few days, and there were so many casualties during the meeting.
No matter what you say, you cannot escape responsibility.
But Luo Chen didn't blame her.
Some things are not her fault.
"You have done a good job. I can rest assured that you are taking care of everything in the meeting."
Luo Chen rarely smiled and encouraged Sima Huiniang.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Chen waved, and Sima Huiniang came forward.
In front of Luo Chen, a paper crane and two crane nests suddenly appeared.
"This is a message-carrying paper crane. You and I will leave a crane nest for each other."
"If there is any emergency in the future, you can notify me directly from a thousand miles away."
Sima Huiniang looked surprised as she took the paper crane hesitantly.
When did such magical weapons appear in the world of immortality?
The sound transmission range is so large, it is much stronger than the sound transmission.
Just when she was about to say something, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.
Soon, Zhou Yuanli walked in with a gloomy expression.
"President, we found it!"
"Um?"
"Please come here."
Luo Chen's eyes flickered and he set off immediately.
After a while, he was led by Zhou Yuanli to the outside of a building with a strong smell.
He looked at this place doubtfully, "Animal room?"
Zhou Yuanli nodded and opened the door.
Liu Qiang's embarrassed look immediately appeared in front of the two of them.
"President, I..."
Luo Chen immediately stepped into it and his eyes instantly fell on a young ape whose body was completely red.
"First-order Explosive Ape, is this the way to lure the beasts here?"
As his voice fell, Liu Qiang bent his knees and half-knelt on the ground.
"My fault!"
"I bought this beast from outside, but I didn't want to lure the wolf into the house."
Luo Chen shook his head slowly.
This is not to blame Liu Qiang.
Because he personally ordered Liu Qiang to purchase live monsters, and he was not allowed to do it by other people's hands.
These living monsters were all used by him to practice the magic of frightening gods after swallowing the Tongyou Pill.
Now in the middle of winter, the mountains are covered with heavy snow.
Ordinary wild beasts are rare, and hunting monster beasts is even more difficult.
Liu Qiang alone could not capture many live monsters, so he decided to purchase them from outside.
For this reason, Luo Chen also specially allocated a sum of spiritual stones.
Looking at the explosive ape, the demonic aura is very weak, but it looks like it has just entered the first level.
However, the hair was quite smooth and soft, and its red luster reminded Luo Chen of the second-level explosive ape imprisoned underground in the mine.
"Is it the cub of that second-level monster?"
Luo Chen asked without looking back.
"There is no doubt about it." Zhou Yuanli said solemnly: "I have sent people to do a blood test. The two demons are directly related to each other by blood, and it is very strong."
Monster bloodline is easy to test and is more obvious than human bloodline.
Rumor has it that there are even monsters that rely on blood inheritance to practice.
In this case, it makes sense.
The second-level Explosive Ape lost its cubs, but it was still the one with the strongest bloodline.
No wonder it became furious and swept over with a tide of beasts.
Now in Dahefang, without the deterrence of the inner city formation, the monsters have gradually lost their awe.
The clues can be seen from many small things.
The second-level Explosive Ape is just the first second-level monster to enter the vicinity of Dahefang.
It is conceivable that there will be more to come.
But these are not important!
Luo Chen turned around and looked at Liu Qiang.
"Stand up and talk."
Liu Qiang stood up and faced Luo Chen's gaze.
"Where did you buy this beast?"
"The Nangong family's animal farm."
"Nangong?"
Luo Chen frowned slightly, "Who sold it to you?"
Liu Qiang said subconsciously: "It's Ke Yuelin, the old man of the Poshan Gang and the master of the Beast Hall. He is now attached to the Nangong family and manages the beast farm for them. He also sold this beast to me personally. I think he is very spiritual and may be able to help President, you practice..."
"Ke Yuelin..."
Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered the name.
