The exorcism work in the north of Kuiyunling is in full swing with the support of the five immortal kingdoms, and a large number of monster heads are brought back every day.
The Holy Talisman Sect has cashed in nearly a trillion Spiritual Essence Stones, and they are still flowing into the hands of the teams returning from demon hunting.
The demon-hunting teams organized by the major fairy kingdoms can be said to be like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers in this process. However, as the number of monsters hunted increased day by day, more and more monks were injured or even died.
Objectively speaking, the monsters in this area are not only more numerous, but also more powerful than before. They are indeed not easy to deal with. Only those small immortal sects and casual cultivator monks can only fight small ones. Making trouble will not have much effect.
At this stage, the powerful immortal sects that were originally dormant in Kuiyun Ridge, under the repeated urging of the Holy Talisman Sect, began to send a large number of high-level monks to carry out fixed-point sniping against those powerful monsters, and also arranged for their disciples to form hunting groups. The demon team participated in the elimination of demons on the north side of Kuiyun Ridge.
Chencun, as the largest village in the southeast of Nihuangzhuang, has become the hardest-hit area where various monsters are entrenched since the outbreak of the demonic disaster.
As Wu Yaqi and Liu Qingyi practiced in seclusion one after another, a group of disciples from the Heavenly Beast Sect followed Guo Yan to complete the elimination of the monsters in Tianshui City, and they also arrived here recently.
At that time, the southern immortal sects already present in Chen Village included Tianji Sect, Shenfeng Sect, Baihua Immortal Valley, Tongtian Sect, and more than ten small immortal sects and casual cultivators. There were also ten monks from the east and west realms. More than one.
The largest team of northern monks numbered more than twenty. Because they were extremely familiar with the terrain of Chen Village, they occupied the location of the village's ancestral hall almost as soon as they arrived.
At this time, it was only half an hour before noon, and a large amount of demonic energy surged around Chen Village. The strong smell of blood floated near the entrance of the village, making the surrounding air become colder and colder.
"Senior Brother Yan, do you think there are many Shangqi Lei trees in the ancestral hall in the village?" Zuo Shu asked in a sweet voice.
"Indeed, I have seen it with my own eyes." Yan Kuan nodded and replied.
"I heard that the Shangqi Thunder Tree can draw the energy of thunder to temper itself, and it will produce a unique thunderbolt tree, which contains a large amount of the original energy of the thunder system, is that right?" Zuo Shu said what he said. A group of disciples from the Heavenly Beast Sect around them burst out in shock.
"Is it really Thunderbolt Wood?"
"If it is the original energy of the thunder system, wouldn't it be said that it can increase the spiritual essence of the thunder system?"
"That's a good thing!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Yan Kuan smiled lightly and said: "Only the hundred-year-old Thunderbolt wood can have this effect. Ordinary Thunderbolt wood is of no use at all."
"Well, judging from this, we are still late this time. The ancestral hall in the village has been occupied. I'm afraid there are not many left of the so-called thunderbolt wood!" Li Lingfeng raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the village. Seeing a large number of Northern Immortal Sect teams wandering around the ancestral hall, sniping away monsters, they couldn't help but sigh with great regret.
Li Deqiang laughed when he heard this, and teased: "There is indeed not much left of the Thunderbolt Tree, but it has nothing to do with them. When my junior brother brought us here last time, we had almost pulled it out, haha!"
"That's true!" Wang Tianshui also smiled in agreement, and then took out a piece of green wood from the spirit ring, raised it towards everyone, and showed off: "This is the thunderbolt wood, we picked a lot back then!"
"Is this Thunderbolt Wood?"
"Compared with ordinary wood, it's nothing special!"
"Senior Brother Wang, show me!"
When a group of people saw Wang Tianshui taking out the piece of green wood, they all came closer to look at it with a look of curiosity on their faces. Wu Wanyu even reached out to ask for it.
Wang Tianshui turned a blind eye to Wu Wanyu's outstretched hand, and instead handed the wood to Fang Rong's hand, saying in a low voice: "Junior sister Fang, this piece of thunderbolt wood is given to you. Although this wood is less than a hundred years old, , it cannot produce the original energy of the thunder element, but it can help you absorb the original energy of the wood element, so it is considered a good treasure."
When Wu Wanyu saw that Wang Tianshui handed the object to Fang Rong but ignored her, she felt very angry. She immediately rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "I thought it was a hundred-year-old thunderbolt wood, but it turns out It’s just an ordinary thing, what a bad luck!” Her words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
At this moment, Fang Rong returned the thunderbolt wood that Wang Tianshui handed to him and whispered: "I don't want your stuff!"
Wang Tianshui put away the Thunderbolt Wood with a slight embarrassment, and laughed at himself for a long time, but didn't say much.
When they were young, everyone found a house to hide in the village. Under the leadership of Guo Yan, they used psychic techniques to drive the fairy beasts to search the village in groups, and began to kill monsters everywhere.
During this period, a group of Shenfeng Sect monks came to talk to Zuo Shu, and the Tianji Sect's senior fellow apprentice Qiu and Luo also found time to chat with Yan Kuan, Bu Jiu and Li Deqiang from Miao Yuanfeng.
However, the people from the Immortal Sect Tongtian Sect and Baihua Immortal Valley in the southern region were all new faces, but they had no connections with the people from the Heavenly Beast Sect, so naturally no one took the initiative to contact them.
Besides, while the three parties were talking, the Shenfeng Sect monks, senior brother Qiu, disciple Luo and others revealed a shocking news.
According to what they said, the Shangqi Thunder Tree that was originally located in the village ancestral hall was caused by the influx of demonic energy. It attracted too much thunder power to resist the erosion of the demonic energy, causing the resulting thunderbolt trees to mutate. It not only tempered a large amount of the original essence of the wood element, but also contained a trace of the original energy of the thunder element, and the effect far exceeded that of the century-old thunderbolt wood.
You know, the ordinary hundred-year-old thunderbolt wood only has the original energy of thunder, but this kind of mutated thunderbolt wood can have a lot more original essence of wood. It can be said that such a small piece of wood is like the two origins of wood and thunder. The aggregate of things has to be said to be an anomaly.
Several people were extremely shocked by this sudden news, and when the news was conveyed to the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect, it instantly aroused everyone's emotions.
"My dear! This Shangqi Thunder Tree can actually give birth to Thunderbolt Wood with such effects."
"If this rumor is true, it is really a miracle. The origins of the two systems are merged into one thing. It is simply unimaginable!"
"Yes, this is indeed unheard of!"
After a while, in order to find out what was going on, a group of disciples from the Heavenly Beast Sect no longer bothered to hide in the houses and began to explore the village in the air.
However, this exploration was a big disappointment. The area near Chencun Ancestral Hall was not only occupied by a large number of Northern Immortal Sects, but even the thunderbolt trees in the ancestral hall had been picked completely, and those in the east, west, and south that moved slower were The monk Jing didn't even get close to it, but just watched the excitement outside.
This result has long been seen by Guo Yan, the Sanyang Realm disciple who led the team. In his opinion, since such news can come from Tianji Sect and Shenfeng Sect, it is expected that the Thunderbolt Wood in the ancestral hall has been taken advantage of by others. , where would it be the turn of myself and others who arrived later.
"Damn, that's so boring!"
"Those thieves in the north have been hoarding goods and got a big bargain this time!"
"No, a good thing is wasted..."
"Come on, let's kill the monsters honestly, so we can go back and do our work as soon as possible!"
A group of disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect said in great frustration for a while, then returned to the village head, drove the fairy beasts to clean up the nearby monsters, and then turned to other locations and ran away.
…
At this moment, at the Kuiyunling Heavenly Beast Gate, a man in black was sitting cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, and a majestic and vast aura spread around him.
Liu Qingyi recited the magic formula silently, and quietly operated the body shaping formula and transformation skill. The skin all over his body was glowing with a jade-like luster, and his pair of flesh fists shone like inlaid with colored crystals, with faint traces of The strong force caused the air around him to tremble slightly.
At this moment, Liu Qingyi felt surging power filling his whole body. Every inch of his flesh and blood seemed to have undergone a baptism, and his entire temperament became more elegant.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up and walked to the mountain col near the station, and raised his fist to hit a towering ancient tree from a distance.
boom!
There was a dull loud noise, and the fist struck the ancient tree with extremely violent force, immediately smashing it into large pieces of sawdust and exploding.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Qingyi's figure flashed and appeared in front of another ancient tree like a ghost. He kicked out his right leg suddenly, and a sharp force instantly crushed the ancient tree into pieces.
Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he flew away into the distance.
During this time, monks from the five major immortal kingdoms set up several temporary trading venues on Kuiyun Ridge for the purpose of trading immortal items between these monks from different regions.
When Liu Qingyi was not practicing, he would always go to those trading places to sell some magical artifacts that had been stored for a long time, or to collect some interesting objects.
This time, he came here to buy a few things for cultivation, because his second-level method of Shanglin Enchanting Technique, Hua Gang, has been completed, and to practice the highest level of body-refining method and enchantment, he needs to use Only by carving imprints on the flesh with several special materials can the true demon totem be condensed smoothly, and this ultimate method can be practiced.
Along the way, Liu Qingyi met many traders, most of whom were monks from other fairy countries. He passed through dozens of stalls and bought several needed body-refining materials. Unknowingly, he came to the one next to him. In front of the stall.
At this moment, a handsome man with blond hair was standing on one side with his hands behind his back. There were a bunch of various spiritual treasures, elixirs, and many spiritual talismans and seals on the stall, which looked quite eye-catching.
Liu Qingyi's eyes fell on several beads emitting black light, with a curious look in his eyes.
This thing was no stranger to him. It was the soul marrow that he found in the heads of those bow-backed demon beasts last time. For this reason, he had also fought with the spirit tribe woman from the Dongling Fairy Kingdom, and finally got those soul marrow. Each piece was sold to the group of spiritual monks for tens of thousands.
Some people died, but not completely...
