Chapter 599: Fully Loaded and Running Away
When Yu Lie saw the corpse of Dou Muxie covered with earthworm maggots, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then struggled to open a gap that could allow him to enter the Purple Palace.

With a whoosh, the bones of Doumuxie, along with the earthworms and maggots on them, flew up and drilled into Yu Lie's purple palace.

Although Yu Lie could not put Dou Muxie's entire corpse into the Purple Mansion, he could split it apart!
And just as Yu Lie expected, those earthworm maggots lying on Dou Muxie's corpse did not resist Yu Lie's intake. By the time they reacted, they were all in the Purple Mansion in a daze.

At this time, some of the earthworms finally raised their heads from the corpses due to environmental changes, becoming restless and releasing their ferocity.

However, although these flesh-worms are powerful and can kill a Dou Mu Xie as easily as killing a chicken, they are not immortal-level creatures after all.

The nameless formation was activated, and a great force descended upon them, immobilizing them one by one, making them unable to move at all.

When Yu Lie saw this scene from outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a look of joy on his face.

He moved even faster, and quickly captured all the earthworms and maggots in the hall that could be captured in the Purple Palace. As for those that resisted and could not be captured, he used the lightning produced by his spiritual root Thunder Three to burn them completely into ashes, killing them beyond all possibility of death.

After dealing with these, Yu Lie looked around and found that the originally desolate main hall was now even more desolate, and there was a burnt smell everywhere.

A rotten and burnt stench had filled the hall and gathered on the ground, forming a layer of black and red blood mist.

This stench was released by the earthworm maggots after they were burned to death by Yu Lie's lightning.

Yu Lie picked a few strands from it, and suddenly he had an epiphany:

“No wonder I used the Death Flame to restrain these flesh and blood insects. Although it worked, the effect was not very good. On the contrary, using Lei San’s lightning, I was able to easily control them like ice melting away snow.

It turns out that these flesh worms are similar to corpse worms, they are cold in nature, and there is a dead energy in their bodies. "

Dead air and yin energy are cold in nature, while the energy of thunder, lightning and fire are the "natural enemies" that restrain them.

In this regard, although Yu Lie's death flame is no longer a pure cold flame, it is far inferior to the energy of thunder and lightning.

Of course, the reason why the lightning energy produced by Lei San can so easily restrain these strange fleshworms is probably because of the high status of the spiritual root Lei San, which is definitely higher than the sixth grade, reaching the fifth grade, or even higher than the fifth grade!

Many fantasies flashed through Yu Lie's mind, making him feel happy and completely free from his previous state of panic.

Coming back to his senses, Yu Lie narrowed his eyes and looked at the evil aura of the flesh worms gathered on the ground. He hummed softly and cast a spell to capture the aura into his purple palace.

The nature of these evil spirits is cold and gloomy, and more bizarre than most of the evil spirits in the world. Ordinary Taoists try to avoid them as much as possible.

The reason why the Dou Muxie just now fell easily into the Dan earthworms was that the more it struggled and killed, the more evil energy the Dan earthworms produced when they died, which made it feel like it was poisoned, and its body and soul fell into madness and gradually became powerless.

For ordinary Taoists, perhaps only those who have reached the middle level of Dancheng or above can refine these evil airs into spiritual energy and completely remove the toxicity in them.

But Yu Lie had the Soul Transformation Pool in his hand, so he didn't have to care about this at all. No matter what kind of evil air or poisonous gas it was, he could just throw it into the Soul Transformation Pool, and it would all become his spiritual nourishment!

After spending a little time, Yu Lie had cleared out all the bad smell of earthworms and maggots in the hall.

In his Purple Mansion, he placed half of it in the Spirit Transformation Pond to allow it to be slowly purified, and piled the other half together with the group of living earthworms to see if it could have a certain impact and enable the earthworms to adapt to the environment and reproduce and grow.

After all, this group of flesh worms are so strange and terrifying that Yu Lie has become obsessed with them and wants to control them and make use of them.

But there is no rush for these things.

Yu Lie packed up everything. He looked around the deserted main hall. His spiritual sense swept over the petrified Kuimu wolf several times, and hesitation appeared in his eyes.

He was hesitating whether to take advantage of his illness and kill him by dragging Kuimulang into the Purple Palace.

Once he enters the Purple Palace, Kuimulang will be helpless even if he cries out to heaven or earth. His life or death depends on Yu Lie's thoughts.

But Yu Lie thought of this guy's previous goodwill and reminders, and the fact that this guy did not turn against him during the process of dealing with Dou Muxie just now.

He sighed lightly and chose to ignore this guy.

As for continuing to work with this guy to search for treasure, Yu Lie had forgotten about it.

Every time he meets Kuimulang, it brings benefits to Yu Lie, but now that Yu Lie thinks about it carefully, he finds that every time there are benefits, there are also considerable risks.

If he is not careful, he will end up dead.

Yu Lie felt that he should first find a place in the secret realm to digest his thoughts. He must not wander around in the secret realm with this guy again, so as not to encounter greater danger.

Whoosh!

Yu Lie's figure flashed and disappeared in the hall, leaving only a last sentence of doubt and regret:
"Hey! Where is Dou Muxie's Purple Palace... Never mind, what a pity."

After the death of a Taoist priest who founded a mansion, if he is not in the Mountain and Sea Realm, his Purple Palace will be reduced to the scene of death and can be devoured by other Taoist priests who founded the mansion.

But it is obvious that Yu Lie and others are now in the secret realm of Huoxing City. This place also has some influence on the Purple Mansion. Most likely, Dou Muxie's Purple Mansion was secretly taken away.

After Yu Lie left, the main hall fell silent.

After a long time.

Kuimu Lang's body on the stone pillar began to tremble. The stone shells on his body fell off piece by piece, and his eyeballs began to move again, revealing the ecstasy of escaping death!
"Hahaha! I survived, I survived!"

Kuimulang muttered to himself, looking around at the empty surroundings, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes:

"Hey, where are Dou Muxie's corpse and Yu's corpse?"

Originally there were quite a few bones left in the hall, some large and some small, all quite old. Now they were mixed together and difficult to distinguish.

This made Kuimulang wonder whether the corpses of Yu Lie and Dou Muxie were also mixed in or not.

Logically speaking, he should have believed the former directly, but Yu Lie's past made him believe from the bottom of his heart that Yu Lie was not someone who would die easily.

After complaining in his heart, Kuimulang waited until his body's blood circulation became active, then he tucked his tail between his legs and flew back to the passage he came from without looking back.

Regardless of the former or the latter, he dared not stay in such a dangerous place any longer.

But on the way to escape, Kuimulang couldn't help but think again and again:
"Is the man surnamed Yu alive or dead? If he is alive, why did he choose to let me go..."

All these thoughts made this guy feel quite complicated for a while.

………………

the other side.

After leaving the Danqiu Maggot Hall, Yu Lie flew for dozens of miles and came to an inconspicuous ruin.

He went inside, tidied up the surroundings, and released Crow Eight's clone to keep watch.

After a good meditation to recover, Yu Lie felt refreshed and full of energy, and began to sort out his harvest.

First of all, he stuffed Dou Muxie's thick and huge bones, which were as big as roof beams, into the furnace of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons one by one.

This action immediately propped up the stove.

Although Dou Muxie has not formed an elixir and his flesh and blood have become food for the flesh worms, his bones have been contaminated and are pure demon bones, comparable to the bones of living creatures that have formed an elixir. They can be refined into the ghost furnace by Yu Lie to make up for the potential lost in the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts furnace in the past.

After doing all this, Yu Lie divided his consciousness into two parts. One part fell into the Spirit Transformation Pond to see the texture of the spiritual energy transformed from the evil energy of the earthworm maggots. The other part fell into those living earthworm maggots to see if these creatures could be fed in the Purple Mansion.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at the result, but when you do, Yu Lie is shocked.

The first ones came from the evil airs that he had placed in the Spirit Transformation Pool. After these airs were purified, the first thing that emerged was not spiritual energy, but an air that was familiar yet unfamiliar to Yu Lie.

Yu Lie's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt. He summoned a strand of it, pinched it with his fingers, and felt it carefully and repeatedly before blurting out:
"This is, Gangqi?!"

The foul air produced by the earthworm maggots, after all the stench and corpse smell had faded away, turned pure white in color. When pinched between Yu Lie's fingers, it was sharp and strong, as if he was holding a steel knife, and it also released invisible thorns as thin as cow hair all over his body.

All these signs are similar to the qi in the gale layer.

Yu Lie was surprised and puzzled. He had an idea and immediately extended his spiritual sense to pick a few strands of the strong wind from the ubiquitous outside the brick wall. Then he threw the "Gan Qi" extracted from the body of the earthworm maggot into the strong wind in the secret realm.

As a result, a scene that surprised Yu Lie appeared. Although there was only a wisp of breath, it dispersed the secret realm's strong wind that was hundreds of times stronger than it on the spot. The nature of this breath was more powerful than all the strong energy he had seen in the secret realm.

Yu Lie tried it several more times and extracted several streams of genuine internal energy from the strong wind in the secret realm for comparison.

The results show that the breath contained in the body of the earthworm carries an extremely cold and sharp aura, and this kind of aura is incomparable to ordinary aura!
This made Yu Lie happy, but also more suspicious:

"Sha Qi can be collected from corpses, but Gang Qi can only be collected from the sky... Why do these fleshworms contain Gang Qi, and what kind of Gang Qi is this in the world?"

He sat cross-legged, and even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what this energy was.

Among the dozens of kinds of Tiangang Qi in Yu Lie's memory, none of them could completely overlap with this thing.

This immediately made Yu Lie worried.

It is said that his biggest purpose in coming to this secret realm was to condense the Gang Qi and become a Gang-refining Taoist priest.

Originally, he planned to follow Hei Shuizi's advice and explore to the deepest part of the secret realm before refining his Qi. But now, before he even explored to the deepest part of the secret realm, he had already encountered a powerful creature like the Dan Earthworm Maggot.

This made Yu Lie extremely suspicious. In the deepest part of the secret realm, no one could approach or even match the strength of a Taoist master who could achieve alchemy. Once you go there, there is no return, and there is no life or death.

Therefore, he wanted to give up his original plan and planned to select a few suitable ones from the ubiquitous罡风 in the secret realm, purify them one by one, complete the罡风 refining as soon as possible, and then improve his realm.

And now the qi discovered from the body of the earthworm is extremely related to him, and its nature is also the best among all the qi Yu Lie has ever seen.

Yu Lie even suspected that even Zi Zhuzi's Purple Qi Coming from the East might not be stronger than it.

Using this thing to refine the power may be very useful!
But the problem also arises. Without knowing the specific name of this罡, Yu Lie does not know whether the elixir can be truly top-grade after being condensed with this罡, and what kind of elixir it will be.

After thinking for a long time, he exhaled and said to himself:
"Forget it. For now, no matter what this energy is, I will spend some time to refine it all before I can think of other things."

Whoosh, Yu Lie's consciousness fell into a large number of living earthworm maggots.

After observing for a period of time, Yu Lie found that although this group of flesh worms seemed particularly excited when exposed to the foul smell after the death of their own kind, they did not reproduce or multiply.

Even though Yu Lie took the initiative to cut these flesh worms into pieces, they did not survive with their heads and tails together like earthworms, but slowly shriveled up and died.

Since the evil air was useless, Yu Lie put all the evil air into the Soul Transformation Pool to refine the Gang Qi.

As for the living earthworm maggots, he sealed them in several square pottery jars and stored them in different environments, such as the soil, water, fire, and air, to see which environment was most suitable for them to survive, and to make it convenient for Yu Lie to throw them out when he encountered an enemy later.

Of course, it would be great if the earthworm maggots could reproduce on their own in a certain environment in the future, and they would not have to be treated as disposable consumables by Yu Lie.

Thereafter.

Yu Lie had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, waiting for the Spirit Transformation Pool to purify all the energy of the earthworm maggots, and personally nurturing the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts Furnace, and from time to time observing and recording the growth of the spirit root Lei San.

Especially the latter, which had been proven on the Dan earthworm maggot, Yu Lie realized that Lei San's value might not only be in the future, but also in the present. His attention to this thing more than doubled.

Soon, about half a month passed.

During this period of time, the ghost furnace was properly nurtured, and not only its potential was restored, but its quality also increased a lot. It was about to be one step ahead of Yu Lie and be upgraded to the next level.

The foul air produced by tens of thousands of earthworm maggots was finally completely refined, leaving only the strong energy, which formed a thick white gas like a dragon.

This energy is fierce and strong, and when its amount grows to this point, it is enough for Taoists to use in refining their Qi.

At the same time, another characteristic of this kind of energy was also revealed, which surprised Yu Lie!
