Today, several large private rooms on the third floor of Fan Building are full of people. All the Qi-training members who went to save people this time are here.
Countless spiritual meals and spiritual wines were served on every table on the third floor. Although they are relatively ordinary spiritual meals, they use the lowest level of spiritual beasts, and the spiritual wine is just an ordinary product with two spiritual stones in one jar. However, there was unlimited supply throughout the venue, and the atmosphere was very warm and everyone was very satisfied.
You must know that the low-level disciples of the seven major sects may only be paid two or three spiritual stones for a month's mission. The casual cultivators outside may not earn three to five spiritual stones in half a year. These people will probably not leave until they drink it. .
In addition, the fourth floor, which is not used on weekdays, was also used on an exception basis.
There is only one huge private room on the fourth floor. The decoration is also very luxurious, and the tables, chairs, and green plants are all made of spiritual materials. Even the decoration style is very special. A special formation is arranged on the top so that you can directly see the starry sky.
The ground was covered with soft carpets. In the middle of the carpet was a circular pattern eight meters in diameter, with spiritual birds of different shapes painted on it. At this time, there were already several young women dancing on the carpet to the sound of music. .
Long tables were placed around the circular pattern. Jiang Yun and other foundation-building monks who participated in the operation sat alone one by one. The spiritual food and wine on each table were more than one level higher than those on the third floor. .
Jiang Yun specially hired a chef from Baizhen Building inside the door at a huge price. Normally, the chef could cook according to his mood, but when he was on the fourth floor, it was his turn to show off his talents.
Jiang Yun raised his glass and said, "Thanks to everyone for this operation. Although not many mortals have been rescued, we still have a clear conscience. Jiang, here's a drink to you all."
"Thank you, senior brother, but we don't dare to take credit!"
"Senior brother has single-handedly eliminated more than a dozen foundation-building monks from the Luo family. We are all in awe of him."
"At that time, senior brother heard that there was a demon corpse in the pill formation stage and he still showed no fear, which is beyond the reach of my generation."
Jiang Yun just smiled at everyone's compliments and didn't say much. Everyone started chatting. Although they had participated in the mission together before, they didn't know each other well.
Everyone was very surprised when they learned that Song Meng turned out to be the eldest son of the Song family in Hanzhou. They did not expect that as a core member of a large family, he would also participate in such an action to save mortals.
Naturally, Song Meng would not tell everyone that he was dragged here by Senior Brother Liu Jing.
But just when everyone was drinking and drinking, two transmission notes flew from the air and landed on Liu Honge. Jiang Yun floated in front of him, emitting a faint golden light.
Jiang Yun frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. He actually used two transmission notes at once. It seemed that the news this time was not a trivial matter.
He stretched out his hand to take the transmission note and sensed it with his spiritual consciousness. Then he looked slightly serious and waved to the performer and dancer. They bowed and retreated.
Liu Honge and Liu Jing also looked a little serious after learning the content of the transmission notes. The others looked at each other in confusion but no one said anything.
Jiang Yun coughed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, it's the transmission message from inside the sect. I have to go back to the sect to report. Jiang is here to apologize to everyone."
Everyone expressed their understanding, but there were doubts on their faces.
Jiang Yun thought for a while and said: "If you have nothing to do in the near future, please don't go to Zijin Kingdom. Something happened there. Okay, I'll take my leave. Everyone, please have a drink. No need to be polite." After saying that, he bowed to everyone and stood up. Walking towards the door, Liu Honge also bowed to everyone and left with Jiang Yun.
After the two people left the Mortal Building, they flew to the outside of Fang City. Liu Honge sent a message: "Senior Brother Jiang, the message said that there was a change in the Zijin Kingdom, and it also asked our Yue Kingdom for help! I don't know what happened."
Jiang Yun shook his head and replied: "I don't know either. Let's talk about it after we return to the sect first." After that, the two of them accelerated and flew towards the Spirit Beast Mountain.
Due to the close distance, the two of them returned to Spirit Beast Mountain in less than two hours, and flew directly to the Head's Palace.
After entering the main hall, they found the headmaster, Uncle Jiang from Jinjiao Peak, and Uncle Ouyang from Tian Serpent Peak, a total of three monks in the alchemy stage standing at the head. There are already nearly twenty monks waiting quietly below.
"One is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, five are in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and the rest are all in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but not a single true disciple is here. Why did you call me here?"
"Let's wait and see first. The master has said that anyone else's mission can be refused except for his orders."
After Jiang Yun entered, he silently walked to the front of the disciples. After all, his identity was here and he couldn't hide in a corner in a low profile.
Jiang Yun sent a message to Master Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, I wonder what happened to Zijin?"
"Zijin has changed, but the situation is currently stable. There is no need to worry. Let's wait for everyone to arrive." Uncle Jiang's voice was still serious, giving people an unquestionable feeling. Although Uncle Jiang is beautiful and looks gentle, his personality is completely different from his appearance. He is a domineering person.
Another hour later, more than ten monks in the foundation-building stage came in one after another, one of whom was in the late-stage foundation-building stage, and the final number reached more than thirty people.
At this time, the leader, Uncle Lan, took a step forward and said, "It's almost time. Except for a few people, everyone has arrived. I will talk to those people in person later. Maybe there can be a few more people in Wanchong Cave to work." of."
"Now I will explain the situation directly, just wait and listen!" Then the head master uncle began to explain the situation slowly, and it turned out that it was still a matter in the Luoyan Mountains.
It turns out that the fall of a huge meteorite in the Luoyan Mountains is true. The fall occurred 60,000 years ago. Along with the meteorite came a terrifying demonic insect in the early stages of becoming a god, the Ghost-faced Withered Soul Scorpion. As long as the forces with a relatively long inheritance have related records about this matter.
The ghost-faced withered-soul scorpion, ranked eleventh on the list of spiritual insects, has a black and purple appearance, twelve legs, and three scorpion tails. The carapace on its back has a ferocious pattern, like an evil ghost.
There are legends that this kind of monster insect was transformed from a certain humanoid race because it was cursed by some great existence.
The scariest thing about the Ghost Faced Soul Scorpion is its scorpion venom. It sprays poisonous needles and black poisonous mist from its mouth, and the scorpion tail needles on its tail also contain poison.
As long as you are stung by a poisonous needle, scorpion tail, or inhale the golden black mist, you will be poisoned. This toxin is very strange, not only targeting the body, but also the soul.
This poison is called the poison of the dead soul.
After being poisoned, the spirit will first become weak, and as time goes by, it will gradually lose consciousness. When the consciousness is completely lost, it will become its slave and food.
The slaves are completely controlled by the Ghost Faced Soul Scorpion. As for food, the Ghost-Faced Withered Soul Scorpion can improve its cultivation by absorbing souls and souls.
Unless the soul of the poisoned person is powerful and can resist the poison, or possesses elixirs or techniques to heal the soul, other beings will basically have to wait to die slowly once they are poisoned.
In addition, its carapace's defensive power is extremely amazing, and its five-element spell resistance is extremely high. Only lightning-type attacks are more effective against it.
It was a pity that the ghost-faced withered-soul scorpion had just crawled out of the meteorite at that time. It was seriously injured and had very little strength. It was sealed away by the ancient monks at that time before it could wreak havoc.
The sealing location is 13,000 meters underground directly below the center of the Luoyan Mountain Range. As for why he did not take the opportunity to kill but chose to seal it, there is no record in the literature.
I thought that after 60,000 years, the terrifying monster insect had already exhausted its lifespan and died. After all, even the monster insect in the stage of becoming a god has its lifespan limit.
This time many demonic insects attacked the Luoyan Mountains. The Zijin Kingdom did not think of this demonic insect at first. It was not until they discovered that the body and spirit of the attacking demonic insects were poisoned by some kind of toxin that they thought of the Ghost Faced Soul Scorpion.
The Nascent Soul monks and the eighth-level monsters from the Zijin Kingdom went through all kinds of hardships to fight through the sea of insects and came to it. They saw the five huge empty shells of monster insects in the formation and understood the whole story.
It turns out that it actually survives from generation to generation by laying eggs before the end of its life, and then the larvae devour the corpses of adults. Currently, this is only the sixth generation. Now the cultivation level of this ghost-faced withered-soul scorpion has dropped to the ninth level.
Moreover, the formation may have been too long, resulting in loopholes. Therefore, the black poisonous mist sprayed by the ghost-faced withered soul scorpion spread outside the formation.
Over time, the caves and tunnels with the formation as the center for thousands of meters were filled with black poisonous mist. The Nascent Soul monsters relied on their powerful defensive treasures to avoid ingesting the poison.
In fact, the monster insects living deep underground are also very innocent. These insects that have lived underground for countless years are actually not interested in the rivers, forests, deserts, mountains, etc. on the surface.
However, these monster insects, which originally did not pose a threat to the ground, were poisoned by the black poisonous mist, and eventually became the subordinates of the Ghost-faced Soul Scorpion.
Although the flesh and blood of these slaves cannot enter the formation, their spirits can still do so. Therefore, while the ghost-faced withered soul scorpion absorbs the spirits of the slaves to increase their cultivation, it controls the slaves to defeat other demonic insects and then drags them into the poisonous mist. Increase the number of slaves.
As the power becomes larger and larger, it becomes easier and easier to capture the demonic insects alive and drag them into the poisonous mist.
Although I don’t know how long this process has been going on, I guess it’s been at least two to three hundred years. Currently, there have been six level eight monsters, one level nine monster, and at least three hundred level five to seven monsters. I don't know if there are more. The number of lower-level demon insects is even more difficult to count.
There would not be such a large number of high-level monster insects underground in the Zijin Kingdom alone. The ancestors of Nascent Soul speculate that the monsters and insects in the underground world of several countries around the Purple Gold Kingdom are basically under its command.
Fortunately, that ancient formation is very special and cannot be destroyed violently. It requires masters with superb formation skills to break the formation, so the monsters and insects are helpless.
This is really a blessing, otherwise it would be in trouble once the Ghost Faced Soul Scorpion breaks out of the seal. Although it is only at the ninth level now, there seem to be many Nascent Soul old monsters in Tiannan who can kill it. But the problem is if it burrows deeper into the ground and escapes, who can find it?
What if hundreds or thousands of years later it reaches the tenth level of cultivation and even returns to the divine transformation stage again?
What if you go deeper underground, gather more monster insects, and then seek revenge on humans?
An old Nascent Soul monster speculated that the soul in the body of this demonic insect might be the demonic insect in the transformation stage.
In short, it is a great blessing that the formation was not destroyed.
