Levels seven to eight.
From the Beginning of Myth to the Disciple of Myth.
Although it is easy to accumulate, promotion is difficult.
Many seventh-level demon clans have already accumulated enough energy and blood, but they are stuck by this shackles. There are many who have been unable to break through for decades.
Take Youzhai as an example, among the more than a hundred high-level monsters, there are only a handful of ninth-level ones, dozens of eighth-level ones, and the rest are all seventh-level ones.
The difficulty of this shackles is obvious.
What is level eight?
During the chat between Su Changsheng and Bai Cang, he only heard it use human words to describe it in an ambiguous way: three flowers at the seventh level, gathering at the top at the eighth level, and facing the yuan at the ninth level.
Three flowers gather at the top, and the five qi are in full swing!
No matter how much information there is, it is gone.
Su Changsheng couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and took a few inferior elixirs and headed towards the demon market.
After a while, he re-entered the human tomb and came to the demon market.
The demon market at this time was much depressed compared to half a year ago, and there were few demons wandering around on the streets. Basically, there are not many demon clans entering each demon workshop.
Only the Banshee Workshop is still bustling with people, and there are all kinds of monsters coming in an endless stream.
The skin and flesh business is indeed easy to do.
"Do you want to collect the three elixirs of energy and spirit?"
Su Changsheng asked while standing in the elixir shop.
"It's natural to accept it."
"But I can't make the decision to collect the elixir."
"I'll call my sister over for you."
The little demons in the elixir shop have changed countless times, and the one who received him today was a little succubus with a crown of phoenix wings and a flower crown on her head.
It's just that the little banshee had just arrived, and it seemed she didn't dare to make the decision on her own. She jumped back into the house and called out a banshee.
But no matter what, Su Changsheng could not imagine that this banshee existed.
Black girl!
The bird succubus who was enshrined to the Huangxian by the black dog demon and started a series of events.
Why is she here?
Is this pill shop secretly controlled by Huang Xian?
Su Changsheng was suddenly shocked, but he remained calm on the surface. Over the years, he has long been accustomed to the demeanor of being calm and neither happy nor sad.
But the doubts in my heart are getting stronger and stronger.
After entering the inner ring of Youzhai, he also secretly observed many senior officials of Youzhai, but found no trace of Huang Xian and Bai Ling.
After the two entered the inner ring of Youzhai, they seemed to evaporate from here and disappeared without a trace.
Even after the last Yin Palace demon attack, the wolves investigated most of the demon groups and even confronted the snake cave, but still found nothing.
Some monsters vowed that the Wolf King and the Snake King had reached an agreement, and the two monster groups compromised in private.
Some demons said that it was King Zhou and Tiger who came forward to suppress it. When the great demon appears, no one dares to disobey it.
Some demons also say that in fact, all major demon groups have always known about the existence of Yin Palace demons.
As long as they stay on their own terms and don't make a big deal out of things, they turn a blind eye to their existence.
Turn a blind eye.
There are many speculations here.
But no matter what the rumors were, there was no sign of the other attacker. This made Su Changsheng's idea of taking the opportunity to find it out and see if it was Huang Xian completely shattered.
But what is going on now?
The black girl suddenly appeared?
He even felt that this meeting was too much of a coincidence.
Could it be that someone was secretly arranging it, or was it another bonding coupling incident?
While Su Changsheng was thinking, the bird girl with a tired look stood in front of him respectfully and said softly:
"I wonder how many elixirs you have, sir, and what are their qualities?"
"Can I let the slave family take a look?"
Su Changsheng temporarily put his thoughts aside and handed the three elixirs to the bird girl as he was told, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Three of each, low-grade and inferior products, all made by luck."
After saying that, he didn't want to say another word, and just looked at the bird girl quietly. His appearance was calm and calm, but at this moment, his heart was extremely complicated and full of emotions.
Three years or four years?
It's been so long that he can no longer remember it. Now he only remembers the cowardly look of the bird girl and her ardent expectation for her husband to return home.
Poor, weak.
Humble and helpless.
As the saying goes, flowers are similar every year, but flowers are different every year.
Time flies like a river, and every inch of it is covered with shadows.
Now he is a level seven peak monster, but Wu Nu is still a level two. Even the little banshee before was much stronger than her.
He has already stepped into the myth, but the latter is still struggling in the mud of mortal world, struggling to survive in pain.
It is still so weak, still so humble, pitiful and deplorable.
Although they came from the same semi-demon land, their situations were completely different.
"Sir, please don't underestimate Sister Qing. Although she is only Level 2, her spirit is very sharp. If there is any problem with your elixir, she will know right away."
"If those bastards hadn't delayed Sister Qing's cultivation and put her in jail, she might have been close to the intermediate level by now. No, no, no, she should have been promoted to the intermediate level."
The little banshee from before appeared behind Wu Nu at some point. Seeing that Su Changsheng's face seemed gloomy, she mistook him for being dissatisfied and hurriedly explained.
Su Changsheng shook his head when he heard this, with a smile on his face and said: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something."
Then he looked at Wu Nu and continued: "Your name is Qing? Does it mean sunny after the rain? It's a good name. Since you have the characteristic of mental acuity, if you practice hard in the future, you will always have a chance to enter the intermediate level."
"Can you please help me identify it?"
He didn't know whether Wu Nu was named before or later. But for now, the word "Qing" is really good.
After the rain, the sky clears, and the suffering disappears.
We have everything to look forward to in the years to come.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Sir, let me help you take a look at the elixir first."
Wu Nuqing still looked a little uneasy, but her submissive look at this moment was many times stronger than when she was in the half-demon land.
Although his slightly tired eyes were full of fear, fear, and uneasiness towards the high-level demon clan, he still had the courage to walk out of his own demon life resolutely.
This is good, very good.
Seeing that his old friend was fine again, Su Changsheng felt a little happier. I just suspected that this was a bond coupling phenomenon, so I was still wary.
Eyes see in six directions, ears listen in all directions.
Don't dare to relax at all.
While Wu Niaoqing was appraising the elixir, Su Changsheng started chatting with the little banshee next to him.
Through some side inquiries and some information revealed by the little banshee's chirping, he finally understood that the elixir shop here was run by a very powerful eighth-level banshee.
I don’t know why the name is called.
But I expected that he must be an expert in refining elixirs. After all, in the elixir shop, intermediate elixirs can occasionally be seen, which shows its strength.
As for existences like the little banshee and the black girl, it is said that they were all saved by the owner of the elixir shop.
This shop owner is kind-hearted and likes to protect the same kind-hearted banshees, such as Wu Nu and the little banshee, who were all rescued by him personally.
"Sister Qing is also pitiful. She has been imprisoned by those monsters for a long time. If they hadn't exposed their trap some time ago and were found in their lair, we don't know when they would be free."
"By the way, sir, it is said that the senior leaders of Youzhai have issued a hunting order for those hateful guys. Their portraits were posted today. You can go and see them later."
"The reward is very high."
The little banshee continued chirping, as if she didn't recognize life at all.
wanted?
Fatwa?
Su Changsheng was slightly startled, then nodded.
At this time, Wu Nuqing also completed the test. The nine pills were all inferior quality, and the total price was four drops of spiritual fluid, or two hundred kilograms of medium-sized monster flesh.
"The price has dropped a lot again."
"When will it be over?"
Su Changsheng sighed.
If refining elixirs and making talismans prevents him from making ends meet, he will have to choose to join his high-level demon clan and go out of the city to hunt monsters together.
Although it was dangerous, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, when he broke through to level eight, he needed too much flesh and blood.
Because he was afraid that this was a bond coupling phenomenon, after selling the elixir, Su Changsheng said goodbye to Wu Nuqing and the little banshee, and headed towards Rune Workshop.
Wu Nuqing behind her was looking at him steadily, muttering the words "after the rain, the sky will be clear", and finally raised her head slightly, as if she wanted to see the sky outside the human grave.
He sighed quietly.
"After the rain, will it really be sunny?"
…
Su Changsheng came out of Rune Workshop, feeling increasingly heavy.
The price of runes has dropped dramatically, making them increasingly worthless. Although he sold most of the useless runes, the total amount of blood food he received was less than three hundred kilograms.
Including the income from selling pills, it is only five hundred catties. With such a small amount, it would only be enough to consume for more than ten days.
It was a drop in the bucket compared to what he needed.
"Are we going to use the flesh and blood of low-level monsters or ordinary blood food to satisfy our hunger in the future?"
Su Changsheng frowned.
It's not impossible for high-level monsters to feed on ordinary flesh and blood, but it requires eating a lot, constantly, and eating too much is not conducive to the growth of the monster body.
Eating too much ordinary blood food will cause the qi and blood to decay, the demonic qi to collapse, and lead to a significant decrease in strength.
The key is to save face.
They have become high-level demon clans, but they cannot afford to eat, and are reduced to competing for jobs with middle- and low-level demon clans. If word of this spreads, who can bear it?
Although Su Changsheng was thick-skinned, he was never willing to lower his status to do it before reaching that point. It has nothing to do with saving face and suffering. The main reason is that low-level blood food affects the body too much.
"In the worst case, go hunting!"
"It is still safe for wolves to hunt in groups."
Su Changsheng said to himself.
After wandering around for a while and finding nothing, he headed towards the entrance of the demon market. From a distance, he saw many demon clans gathered around and watched something.
Pointing and pointing, it’s so lively.
When he took a closer look, he found that there were many portraits of demons posted on the huge stone wall at the entrance of the demon market. Perhaps this was the killing order from the little banshee.
At the top of these portraits are the portraits of Bai Ling and Huang Xian.
The portrait was so lifelike that I didn't know whose hand it was from, but Su Changsheng could recognize it at a glance, especially Huang Xian, whose wretched energy on crutches was clearly depicted.
"Are these monsters?"
"Isn't that right? It is said that they have always been hiding at the bottom of human graves, using their strong popularity to hide themselves. If the Wolf King and the Snake King hadn't personally entered it to investigate, they still wouldn't have been discovered until now."
"The two people above seem to be the four pillars of the Fox Book Demon Alliance. Tsk tsk... This incident is quite big. I heard that the Snake King and others have spread the word, and they will soon prepare to go to the Black Mountain Demon Village to meet with Jiuhu The king is facing a confrontation and wants justice to be done between the White Lady and King Zhouhu.”
"So the fatwa has nothing to do with Tiger King Zhou and White Lady? Was it issued by Snake King and the others?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with it. How can the two big monsters have time to care about these things? This matter is definitely the work of the three big monster groups in our Youzhai."
"This...then this pursuit?"
"Forget it about chasing the two people above. Who knows if the Fox Book Demon Alliance will get involved. But you can hunt down those guys below, and the harvest will be quite big."
"Look, there is another member of the Four Beams and Eight Pillars here. His name is Big Rock Snake King. What a bullshit name. Aren't you afraid of being hunted down if he is so domineering?"
"Uh... wait, it says it seems to be dead. Poor guy, he died without even waiting for a fatwa. That's outrageous. How could he draw a portrait when he's already dead?"
The crowd of monsters watching were chattering and discussing.
Su Changsheng looked at his portrait on the stone wall with black lines on his head, and cursed in his heart: "Fuck."
When did he become a monster?
There is definitely something wrong with this wanted order!
Perhaps it was a test and counterattack by the three demon groups in Youzhai against the Fox Book Demon Alliance.
It is even possible that the demon masters are still brewing a deeper conspiracy.
'Damn it, the rewards given are really high. '
"Five thousand kilograms of medium-sized strange beast flesh and blood. Damn it, I can actually be so valuable?" '
"What a virtue!"
Looking at the wanted rewards on the wall, Su Changsheng couldn't help but his heart beat faster. If he hadn't realized that he couldn't report him, he would have reported him.
…
After returning home worried, Su Changsheng was suspicious for several days due to the wanted relationship. I always feel like a monster has discovered my identity.
It took a full week for me to recover from this nervous state of worry and fear, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Insufficient xinxing and unstable foundation.
He knew that this was caused by his promotion too quickly, and the immortal demonic nature could not completely control everything around him.
In the past few days, he has been searching for information in many ways, visiting the wolf pack and the demon clan, looking for opportunities for breakthrough. Gradually, I realized that the biggest reason why I couldn't break through was probably my lack of xinxing.
The path to immortality has never been firm.
The inner demons are hard to eliminate, and the spiritual path is hard to enter.
The eighth-level demon clan has a flawless body. The demonic nature integrates the source of chaos and governs all opportunities around the body. There must be no inner demons, and the human demonic nature must be extremely balanced.
The saying that three flowers gather at the top and five qi are heading towards the yuan means that the essence, qi and spirit are highly condensed and the flowers of Tao bloom.
Many monsters will choose to be promoted in battle, because on the line between life and death, it is easiest for the spirit and body to become highly unified, the inner demons are defeated, and the monster nature is integrated, flawless, and promoted to the eighth level.
"So, what are my inner demons?"
Su Changsheng recalled all the previous events, and his thoughts gradually focused on the black tiger demon.
That's right, it's the Black Tiger Demon!
The inner demons that were once present are still the same now.
Although I had taken out tiger eggs once before, it only weakened part of the shackles in my heart.
As long as the black tiger demon is alive, he will feel uneasy.
This is his biggest inner demon and the biggest obstacle before he can advance to level eight.
Crossing over, the sea and sky will be vast, the sky will be clear after the rain, the sky and the earth are boundless, and you can travel all over it. If it cannot be passed, the body will die and the Tao will disappear, and immortality will be interrupted.
False immortality is to live timidly and cautiously, and to be quietly lonely when your life is about to end.
True immortality is to be in harmony with the sky and immortal with the earth. When the heaven and the earth collapse, I will not be destroyed. All things will be destroyed but I will survive alone.
Although Su Changsheng's immortal demon nature gave him a more cautious, tenacious, and determined character, it also made his promotion more difficult.
After all, it is not that easy to live forever and live forever. The current black tiger demon is the first obstacle on his path to immortality.
"There are also Wu Nu, Fox Girl Xiaosi, Bai Ling, Huang Xian, Fox Book Demon Alliance, Black Tiger Demon... Black Mountain Demon Village is the source of everything."
"That's fine!"
"After all, we have to go back to the beginning and do it again."
"Now let's wait for an opportunity to return."
Su Changsheng's expression gradually became firm. In order to seek immortality, even if the Black Mountain Monster Village was surrounded by dangers, like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, he could only bite the bullet and break in.
The road to immortality is not easy.
He could only risk everything and risk his life to win a future for himself.
…
The time to return to Black Mountain Demon Village came soon.
In the third week after the heavy snow fell, as the ground was completely frozen, the safe passage was basically passable.
The Wolf King summons the wolves and demons.
He also said that this time it would take away one-third of the high-level demon clan in the wolf pack, as well as many middle- and low-level demon clans, and return to the Black Mountain Demon Village to establish a new order.
We must seek justice for the people of Youzhai and the Fox Book Demon Alliance!
Su Changsheng sneered when he heard this, but it didn't stop him from signing up, and he didn't even need to think about the reason.
Who among the high-ranking demon clan of the wolf pack didn't know that he had a grudge against the Fox Book Demon Alliance and that he was from the Black Mountain Demon Village.
Anyway, just have an excuse to go back.
The road to level eight is long and difficult.
Kill the black tiger demon first!
