Jiang Yun asked: "Fellow Hongyu Daoist, I never thought that you could learn such a technique of external incarnation. You are not like an ordinary family alchemy monk."
Jiang Yun is not worried about the other party lying, because he has affixed a talisman called the truth talisman on the spirit python. Once the other party lies, the talisman will glow red.
This kind of talisman is unique to Wanmiao Temple. It is said that the sales volume is very good, and it is the flagship product of Wanmiao Temple.
The mantra talisman and the strong luck talisman, another talisman said to enhance luck, were ridiculed by the outside world that Wanmiaoguan had two medium-sized spiritual stone mines.
Although it is only a foundation-building level talisman, it is more than enough to deal with a guy whose spiritual power is completely imprisoned.
Spirit Python said: "My Taoist friends don't know. Although I was born in the Lu family, I have been a member of the Hehuan Sect since I was a child."
"Because of my good qualifications and my ancestor's relationship with a certain Nascent Soul Ancestor, I became a registered disciple under that ancestor's name. After forming the elixir, I became a formal disciple. Naturally, I am different from those family members who have no background. language."
The spirit python is already a fish on the sword and still raises its head proudly, which shows that it is indeed very proud of its identity.
"I have been cultivating within the sect on weekdays. I only occasionally return to my family to stay for a while and collect the family's offerings. Who would have thought that my friend would come to kill me."
The female cultivator said in a sweet tone, the mantra behind her glowed with a faint red light, but it quickly dimmed.
Jiang Yun glanced at the talisman calmly and said with a smile: "Oh? I thought fellow Taoist stayed in the Lu family to protect the war materials... I didn't expect that he just happened to go back to his parents' home."
The spirit python trembled when it heard Jiang Yun's words, and the spirit fruit wrapped in its tail accidentally fell to the ground. His eyes were full of fear.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun decided to add fuel to the fire and said softly: "...The Lu family fought bravely to protect the war supplies. Even the two alchemy monks died in the battle. No, fellow Taoist is still alive."
"I believe that Taoist friend will be regarded as a hero when he returns to the Hehuan Sect and become a role model for many disciples in the sect."
The spirit python collapsed to the ground, trembling while crying: "Don't be joking, fellow Taoist. If I hadn't lost the war supplies, I would have been safe and sound when I returned to the sect, but if I had lost the supplies, I would have been dead if I returned. Death is a luxury!"
Seeing the spirit python trembling and paralyzed on the ground, with tears dripping from his eyes, Jiang Yun did not speak, and there was no trace of sympathy in his eyes. He just watched calmly from the side.
After a while, the spirit python calmed down, and its body gradually became calmer. It slightly raised its head and looked at Jiang Yun and said:
"If there is anything else you want to know, fellow Taoist, I will definitely tell you everything you know and obey your advice. I have only a humble request, can you listen to me?"
Jiang Yun was a little curious about what the female cultivator wanted to say.
"Let's talk about it. If it's not too much, Jiang will consider it!"
The spirit snake crawled to the edge of the formation, put its head on the ground, and begged:
"I only ask fellow Taoist to spare my life for the time being. If... if possible, when you become a great monk of Nascent Soul in the future, can you consider letting me go?"
"If fellow Taoist is worried, you can wait until fellow Taoist reaches the middle stage of Yuanying, or even the late stage of Yuanying. In short, you can let me go only after you feel that I am no threat at all!"
"I am willing to unilaterally issue a life-death curse. From now on, I will not make false promises or double entendres to my fellow Taoists, nor will I have any thoughts that are detrimental to my fellow Taoists."
Looking at the crying spirit snake in front of him, Jiang Yun decided to agree to the other party.
It wasn't because of crying, Jiang Yun wasn't so naive that he felt soft-hearted because of the tears of a female demon cultivator.
But because the other party's proposal really touched Jiang Yun's heart. And this guy does have some uses.
Jiang Yun looked at the spiritual python and joked: "Fellow Taoist, I have full confidence in me. Let's not talk about whether Jiang can reach that level. Even if I am lucky enough to reach it, it will be hundreds of years later. Friend Taoist is not afraid that I will not be free yet." Has your life span been exhausted?"
Unexpectedly, instead of being worried, the spirit python started laughing sweetly. Jiang Yun felt that this female cultivator changed moods and anger so quickly...
"Giggle, fellow Taoist, you don't know. The lifespan of a monk in the Dan Formation Stage is indeed only five or six hundred years. Waiting for a few hundred years is indeed too long."
"Furthermore, a person's lifespan depends on his soul, not his body. Therefore, even if he successfully seizes the body, occupying the other person's body will not increase his lifespan."
"Unless the realm of the soul breaks through to a higher realm."
"I am one hundred and fifty-eight years old this year, and I have about four hundred years left in my life. Logically speaking, the life span of my external incarnation should also be around this time."
"But Renhun's spirit control is extremely magical. Because the secret method is the fusion of the monk's soul and the spirit of the monster, this clone can gain an additional part of the monster's lifespan, which is roughly half of the monster's lifespan."
"This spirit python is a different kind of ancient blood crystal python. It has a long lifespan. Even the ancient blood crystal python in the elixir formation stage can live for thousands of years. Therefore, adding the two together, I can live for about nine hundred years. If I cultivate If you break through, your longevity will skyrocket!"
"This is also the real power of this secret technique. This secret technique is very precious and requires a lot of sect points. It happened that my ancestor learned this technique and passed it on to me.
"Some old guys who are nearing the end of their lifespan and are afraid of death will also practice this method of external incarnation to extend their lifespan."
At this point, the spirit python began to grit its teeth.
"The number of monsters in our Tiannan is already scarce, and the monsters with long lifespans are existences with powerful bloodlines, so their numbers are even rarer."
"The Yuling Sect is very hateful. Knowing that our Hehuan Sect has this secret technique, they either killed all the long-lived monsters in the Tianluo Kingdom or brought them back to the sect's Qiling Mountain, and then sold the long-lived monsters for sky-high prices. !”
"You may not believe it. These bastards from the Yuling Sect used secret methods to remove the reproductive ability of such monsters before selling them to us, and they only sell cubs!"
"Although people who practice this secret method have never thought about breeding with other monsters in person, it still makes people angry!"
"My ancient blood crystal python cost me 8,000 spirit stones. It's just a young python. It's simply robbery!"
Jiang Yun was startled. He didn't expect there to be such a complicated story. But in this case, wouldn't there be many old monsters in the Hehuan Sect who survived by relying on this secret technique?
"According to this, the Hehuan Sect has accumulated many incarnations of monks. Has it transformed into a great demon?"
Jiang Yun frowned and asked anxiously.
The spirit python replied softly: "There may or may not be a great demon in disguise, but don't worry too much about this."
"Why?" Jiang Yun asked quickly.
"Actually, there are very few people who practice this secret technique. Although it can increase life span, monsters are still beasts after all. Many people cannot pass the test of refining a beast clone. Therefore, except for some old guys who are extremely afraid of death, Not many people know this secret skill."
"In addition, even if you practice this secret technique, you won't dare to return to the sect in a mere incarnation, because the monks will not regard these incarnations as human beings. It is better to take away the storage bag and materials of this deity and fly away."
"Even if my Taoist friends let me go, I won't dare to join the Hehuan Sect. If I go back, I will have to kill the python and refine it into a magic weapon."
Jiang Yun can understand the thoughts of most high-level monks. These are ancestor-like existences on weekdays, but they are actually very arrogant in their hearts.
But for Jiang Yun, he didn't have such worries. He didn't care whether it was a human incarnation or a monster. As long as you are strong enough to help yourself.
Looking at the spiritual python in front of him, Jiang Yun made a decision.
"I agreed to your previous proposal. I will let you leave alive after I think you are no threat!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, thank you, fellow Taoist!!"
Hearing Jiang Yun's promise, the spirit snake cried with joy, thanked Jiang Yun non-stop, and consciously made a life-and-death curse on the spot without any ambiguity.
Jiang Yun was very satisfied with the female cultivator's knowledge and said with a smile: "When I saw that after your body died, the giant python turned into a pearl, I really didn't expect it to be a clone."
The spirit python replied: "At that time, I was surrounded by a large formation, and there were other enemies of the same level on the ground. My clone was seriously injured and there was no possibility of escaping. It would be better to disguise myself as a treasure and act by ear."
"If fellow Taoist hadn't seen the secret jade slips, or stored me in the storage room, I would have had a chance to escape."
Jiang Yun nodded in approval and said, "You are quite smart. Okay, let's continue talking. You said you know a lot of information about the devil's ways."
The spiritual python quickly lowered his head and said sheepishly: "Fellow Taoist, please forgive me, I am just an ordinary elder in the sect and I don't know much. Before, I was just trying to survive..."
Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
The spirit python trembled slightly when he saw this, and quickly said: "I know that Hehuan Sect and Guiling Sect are responsible for dealing with the Yue Kingdom. Ancestor Yunlu will personally control the army, and Guiling Sect will be the vanguard."
"I heard that Master accidentally mentioned that the army is divided into two groups. One is to invade the Yue State through the Jiang State and our Lu family, and the other is to invade the Yue State from the Cheqi State."
"But I really don't know the more detailed information. After all, these two countries share a long border with Vietnam, and there are too many directions in which they can attack."
"I am incompetent, please forgive me, fellow Taoist!"
Jiang Yun was not surprised at all when the demonic army invaded from Jiang State. After all, it was the shortest route and this was the basic operation.
In his opinion, a heavily infiltrated country like Jiang State would have to burn incense if it could hold off the demonic army for a year or even half a year.
After hearing this, Jiang Yun touched his chin, took out a jade slip and began to study it. This jade slip records the map of the Yue Kingdom and surrounding countries.
Among them, the information about Vietnam is very detailed. It is a strategic map and cannot be bought outside.
"The Cheqi Kingdom is located in the southeast of the Yue Kingdom, bordering our Yue Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom to the west, and bordering the Jiang Kingdom to the north."
"I remember that the decisive battle between the Seven Sects and the Demonic Path took place at the Golden Drum Plains, and the Golden Drum Plains is not far from the border between the Yue Kingdom and the Cheqi Kingdom, so the Cheqi Kingdom must have marched along the Golden Drum Plains."
"The other way around..."
Jiang Yun frowned. The border between Jiang State and Yue State was too long. In some places, it was a smooth road without mountains blocking it. It was easy to cross the border.
"Damn it, where will the attack come from? There are dozens of routes in the long border that can allow small groups of troops to enter, and there are also three routes that are suitable for large groups of troops to march.
Although I have long noticed these problems, so the new fortresses are all built in these key places, but..."
Jiang Yun frowned, but when he saw the mark of Yanjiabao, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Jiang Yun put away the map and said, "You can tell me any other information you think would be useful to me."
Seeing that Jiang Yun did not punish the spirit python, it seemed to be very happy and flicked its tail. After thinking for a while, it continued:
"I only know this about the war, but there are some secrets and interesting things about the Six Sects. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Please tell me and listen."
"Yes, the six sects of the Demonic Way are headed by our Hehuan Sect. Everyone knows about the Ghost Spirit Sect. However, the relationship between the two sects is very good. There are also many disciples and elders who have become Taoist couples. Friends, do you know Why?"
This spiritual python adapted quickly to the environment and actually started asking Jiang Yun questions.
"Want to hear the details!" Jiang Yun was indeed a little confused.
The spirit python did not show off and replied: "That's because the Ghost Spirit Sect is the weakest among the six sects. It can help our sect but cannot pose a threat, so we are friendly."
"Our six sects, as giants of magic, naturally highly value the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest."
"Although our Hehuan Sect has always been the number one sect, the other five sects have also developed rapidly in the past thousand years. Especially the second-ranked Yuling Sect and the third-ranked Demon Flame Sect have become very powerful."
"The Yuling Sect raises countless high-level spiritual beasts, and I even heard that there are even great demons in disguise. In addition, the number of Nascent Soul old monsters in the sect is second only to ours, the Hehuan Sect, so its strength cannot be underestimated."
"I heard that the Demon Flame Sect suddenly emerged more than a thousand years ago. I don't know the specific reason because I didn't go out to find out."
"The monks of the Demon Flame Sect are all very difficult to deal with. Their spells are so powerful that they are difficult to defeat at the same level."
"Their secret techniques such as Qingyang Demon Fire, Sky Fire Technique, etc. are very suitable for use in large-scale wars, so they have a special status within the Demon Dao. Basically, the six sects like to bring some Demon Flame Sect monks with them in the battle to destroy the country and sect. , because it’s really useful.”
"The Demon Flame Sect has become the only sect in our demonic path that relies on borrowing disciples to make a fortune, but the casualties will be severe."
"But everything has a clearly marked price. If you die or become disabled, you will have to pay a large amount of spiritual stones to the Demon Flame Sect. Of course, they will not lend them to elite disciples with high talents."
"It's just that their secret skills are more life-consuming to use. The monks in the Demon Flame Sect's core-formation stage can only live to be four hundred years old."
Jiang Yun understands this very well. There are many ways to become stronger. In addition to earning money and becoming bald, you can also gain lives.
"The current situation is that Qianhuan Sect has very few disciples, far less than the other five sects. The sect is located in a remote location and its strength is not weak."
"In addition, they develop quietly on their own and do not conflict with other sects, so the other five sects do not provoke them."
Jiang Yun nodded slightly, this development model is very good.
"The Yuling Sect is second only to the Hehuan Sect in terms of its deep foundation and strength, so it is very aloof. It feels superior to other sects except the Hehuan Sect, so among the six sects, none of them have a good relationship."
Jiang Yun thinks Yulingzong is so stupid...
"The relationship between the Demon Flame Sect and the Tiansha Sect has been good over the years. The combined strength of the two sects has surpassed the Yuling Sect and is even comparable to our Hehuan Sect."
"Fortunately, the supreme elder of our Hehuan Sect, Hehuan Laomo, is a late Nascent Soul monk. They are still honest for the time being."
Jiang Yun was filled with emotion. Sure enough, chains of contempt and internal strife existed everywhere.
Looking at the spirit python in front of him, Jiang Yun asked seriously: "Fellow Taoist, do you think the Yue Kingdom can defeat the army of the Hehuan Sect's Ghost Spirit Sect?"
The spirit python shook his head decisively and said: "We should not be able to defeat him. Our Hehuan Sect has hidden the number of Yuanying monks from the outside world. Some Yuanying monks specially break through in the secret realm. The outside world does not know. Our Hehuan Sect actually has ten A supreme elder in the Nascent Soul stage."
"As for whether the other five sects are hidden, I don't know. I guess they are!"
Jiang Yun fell silent for a moment, with no emotion or anger on his face. After a while, he asked: "How many monks in the Dan Formation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage are there in your Hehuan Sect?"
"There are hundreds of elders in the Pill Formation Stage. I haven't noticed those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so I don't know very well..."
"............" Jiang Yun fell silent.
At this moment, Jiang Yun was fully aware of the power of the devil. Even the Hehuan Sect's overall strength had exceeded the combined strength of the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom. Plus, there was a Ghost Spirit Sect that was not weaker than the Hidden Moon Sect... .....
"I understand, that's all for today. You should take good care of your injuries first!"
Jiang Yun received a lot of information today and needs to digest it carefully.
Although there is a big difference in strength, he is not completely desperate yet, because Jiang Yun does not believe that the Hehuan Sect and the Ghost Spirit Sect will leave his hometown without anyone to guard him.
Looking at Jiang Yun's retreating back, the spirit python slowly folded his body and rested. His heart was full of joy, and he was glad that he had rich experience and understood all kinds of men.
"He is indeed the kind of ruthless man who doesn't allow even a hint of threat around him. I made the right bet."
"Profits, money, and beauty are of no use to such a madman. I have to prove that I am no threat to survive."
"It's okay as long as you survive, that's okay..."
The spirit snake thought about it and gradually fell asleep.
