Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 166: A Rich Harvest: The Revenge of the Divine Fire Cult

"My fellow Daoist, carrying a sword, do not pursue a desperate enemy!"

Seeing that Lingyuan Sect’s Fujian Zhenren wanted to cross Huangniugang, Zhenren Yusha quickly spoke up to warn him.

This place is already three hundred miles away from the Luoyan Mountain formation, and has reached a relatively dangerous distance.

Moreover, in order to escape, True Man Qianhong blew up two of his magic weapons in succession and also used the secret technique of blood escape.

Even for a Jindan demon cultivator, such a price is very heavy.

It can even be said that True Man Qianhong has been seriously injured this time. Under normal circumstances, he will need at least three to five years to recuperate to restore his essence and blood, and he will also have to find a new way to refine the magic weapon.

At the same time, the other magic golden elixirs also leaked a lot of information.

In this battle, we can say that we have gained a considerable advantage.

Therefore, Master Yusha did not want to continue the pursuit, in order to avoid any unexpected danger.

The reason why he had such concerns was not just because he came from the Sihai Sect and didn't want to put in more effort.

It also involves the concerns of all the righteous Jindan Zhenren in this battle between good and evil.

This concern is about the possible existence of the secret techniques of Huangquan Dao in the Divine Fire Sect.

Huangquan Dao left behind eighteen super secret techniques, corresponding to the eighteen levels of hell, and each one is comparable to the top third-level spells.

If a single secret technique is used, the True People can actually find a way to control it.

But if you want to defend against them all, it would be extremely difficult.

This is where the biggest problem lies.

At present, no one on the righteous side knows how many complete versions of the secret techniques the Divine Fire Sect has, and no one knows which one they have already mastered.

No one even knows which demonic golden elixir mastered the secret technique.

So this becomes a super trump card. Once it is calculated by the Divine Fire Sect, the consequence will most likely be that a hundred years of hard work will be wasted.

The price is simply too high.

Therefore, as long as this card is not revealed and there is no way to prepare targeted restraint methods in advance, all the righteous Jindan Zhenren must be cautious.

It was also for this reason that the two real people of Wanhua Valley, with the sect's formation behind them, did not choose to take direct action.

"Fellow Daoist Fujian and Daoist Yusha are right. Let's quit while we're ahead."

True Man Ming Yan also spoke up, and while he was speaking he saw a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator fleeing on the ground.

So he slapped the unlucky guy to death with a palm.

Seeing that the Cang Yan Sect's Jin Jian Zhenren didn't want to pursue any further, Fu Jian Zhenren had no choice but to stop.

"By the way, that red light at the back was not right."

As Ming Yan Zhenren hurried on, he turned around to discuss, "Although we don't know why it suddenly disappeared, it's definitely more than just a signal to attack."

Jin Jian Zhenren also agreed: "I think so too."

Lei Yin Zhenren nodded: "Well, after returning, I will send someone to investigate what exactly happened."

Yusha Zhenren then suggested, "A lot of foundation-building cultivators from the Demon Sect have invaded recently, and we didn't have time to clean them up because we were worried about the hexagram."

"When I go back this time, I can consider dealing with it."

"But I think we can just deal with the Soul-Severing Needle, and leave the rest of the magic skills for the younger generation to practice."

Lei Yin Zhenren also readily agreed: "That's easy to say. The Demon Cult has suffered a major defeat this time, so they shouldn't make any moves in the short term."

"We won't need so many people at the front. We can just let the younger ones take turns to act freely."

The four of them were discussing, but Master Fu Jian remained silent.

However, he was not idle either. Instead, he used his spiritual sense to search for the demon cultivators hiding along the way on his way back.

Along the way, he killed thirteen foundation-building demon cultivators.

Although the other Jindan Zhenren did not patrol specifically, they also took advantage of the situation and killed about twenty of them.

This is also thanks to the Divine Fire Sect's special means of quickly cultivating foundation-building monks.

Otherwise, I don’t know where to find so many foundation-building demon cultivators.

When the five of them returned to Luoyan Mountain, they saw the Lingyuan Sect's headmaster come forward with a happy face and report: "Report to the Immortal, the invading demon cultivators have been dealt with."

"Has it been resolved?"

Master Leiyin was a little surprised. They were still discussing this matter on the way back, but he didn't expect that it had already been done.

He asked curiously, "What's going on? Why is it so fast this time?"

Gong Lingfeng handed over a briefing: "Respectfully, sir..."

He then briefly recounted what Yao Dehai had seen and heard.

Several Jindan Zhenren didn't take it seriously at first, and were busy reviewing the fight with the demon cultivator in their minds. However, as they listened, they felt something was wrong.

Why does Gong Lingfeng always mention Xiao Chen's name in every sentence?
And he was the only one who killed the demon cultivator and destroyed the formation?

Is there such a powerful disciple in the rear?

After hearing this, even the five Jindan Zhenren present were stunned.

How come a fake pill suddenly appeared?
Jin Jian Zhenren's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

True Man Yusha turned to look at True Man Mingyan and said, "Fellow Daoist Mingyan, why didn't you tell me in advance that you had this trick up your sleeve?"

If he had known that the problem had been solved, why would he have discussed it just now?

But he didn't know that Master Ming Yan was actually the most confused one.

After he summoned Xiao Chen last year, he had already guessed what would happen next.

He even anticipated in his mind that if the other party could not form a golden elixir in the future, he might try to condense a fake elixir.

But he really didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Only a year had passed, and the fake pill had already been successfully formed.

You know, it is not easy for a foundation-building cultivator to successfully condense a fake pill.

Not only do you have to choose a spirit beast's inner elixir that matches your own five elements, but the success rate of successfully refining the elixir into your body is less than one in fifty.

If it weren't for such a high risk cost, many old cultivators who had no hope of forming a golden core would have tried it long ago.

"Good! This is how sword cultivators like me should behave!"

The sword-carrying master clapped and cheered on the side.

When he heard that those demon cultivators had been pierced through the hearts by flying swords, he immediately smiled: "Going alone to find the enemy, wielding a sword to slay demons, this little guy is quite like me in my old days!"

"Fellow Daoist Mingyan, why not call him over so we can meet him?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lei Yin immediately suggested, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. In my opinion, it's better to wait for two days."

"The demon cultivators have just retreated. Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to refine our magic to defeat the enemy. Besides, there are many matters that need to be dealt with down below."

"After the dust settles, it won't be too late to ask Xiao Chen to come to Yuanci Peak to reward him for his merits."

His statement was immediately agreed by the other real people, and just then several magic golden cores attacked together.

No matter whether the opponent uses magic soldiers or spells, it is worth going back and reviewing them carefully.

If you can find your opponent's weakness, you can gain an advantage the next time you fight.
.
Qingyang Spirit Mine.

Yao Dehai and the other monks have left.

After exchanging greetings with everyone, Xiao Chen returned to the house and began to count the spoils.

The main things are different magical tools and storage bags.

Magical weapons are easy to deal with. Most foundation-building magic cultivators are very poor, and most of them have high-quality magical weapons.

But storage bags are different. Not only does everyone have one, but they also come with restrictions.

For the first time in his life, Xiao Chen discovered that cracking a storage bag was actually a physical task.

Although compared with other monks, he has extra experience in breaking the restrictions of storage bags.

But even so, it took him a full eighteen hours to open them all.

Fortunately, his time was not wasted.

These storage bags contain at least one or two thousand spirit stones, and at most one or two thousand spirit stones.

All in all, there are a total of 187,989 pieces, which requires two storage bags to hold them all.

"Ah~"

Xiao Chen sighed softly: "My storage bag is probably not big enough. It's already full after I put in just a few spirit stones."

He had seen in "Travels in Hezhou" that there were larger styles in the Eastern Region.

If there is a chance in the future, you can consider asking someone to bring one back.

The things stored in the storage bags of different demon cultivators are quite varied.

From elixirs, weapons, talismans and arrays to music, chess, calligraphy and painting, it covers almost everything.

There are also all kinds of spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, spiritual minerals, etc.

It is a great test of Xiao Chen's eyesight and his understanding of various spiritual creatures in the cultivation world.

However, he also has a lot of experience in this regard, which is to make a preliminary distinction simply and crudely based on the spiritual energy content.

Things that contain less spiritual energy are generally not that expensive.

Similarly, things that contain a lot of spiritual energy must be expensive.

The exception is the things in the storage boxes, which are mostly good things with special uses.

Based on these two conditions, Xiao Chen quickly completed the preliminary screening.

All the spoils were divided into three categories.

The first category has the largest number, but they are all worthless miscellaneous items and are not worth mentioning.

If you have a chance, find a black market and sell them in batches.

The second category is things that are unrecognizable but feel unusual.

There are only five such items in total.

Each is an ancient ink painting, a separate scroll, estimated to be from thousands of years ago.

A piece of tin-dyed spiritual ink, only three inches in size, with purple lines on it, was kept in a storage box.

A tasseled silver chain, about five inches long, seemed to be a bracelet or some other accessory, with densely packed tiny handwriting engraved on it.

A three-foot-tall white marble sculpture vividly depicts a goshawk, and there seems to be a hint of life in it.

An oval bronze mirror, one foot square, with five different spirit beads inlaid on the edge of the mirror. Each one seems to be a top-grade magic weapon, but the round mirror itself cannot be refined directly.

Xiao Chen decided to keep all five items and find out their sources before disposing of them.

The third category is spiritual objects that he is familiar with and are more valuable.

There are one pound and six ounces of flame spiritual sand, seven ounces of heavy water spiritual sand, and three ounces of Xu Tu spiritual sand.

There are one bottle of Five-Colored Mysterious Water, one bottle of Sheep Fat Jade Dew, and two bottles of Subduing Tiger Spirit Water.

This Fuhu Spirit Water is recorded in "Hezhou Travel Notes" and is said to be a second-level top-level spiritual liquid specially used by body-refining cultivators.

There is a twin green lotus, four Xunmei ancient ginseng trees, and six Nanhua yellow bamboos.

Xunmei ancient ginseng is produced in Xunmei Mountain on the front line. It is an excellent material for alchemy and is recorded in Elder Chen’s alchemy notes.

The corresponding Xunmei Ancient Ginseng Pill can turn bones white after taking it, and it is a famous healing medicine.

Nanhua yellow bamboo is a specialty from the Central Region and is also one of the main materials for excellent defensive magic weapons.

Two of them appeared at the last Qianzhu Tower auction, and each one was priced at six hundred spirit stones.

The Millennium Sword Bamboo also came from the Central Region. At that time, Xiao Chen was curious whether the people in the Central Region liked to grow bamboo, and he even compared its appearance with that of the Sword Bamboo.

So when I saw it again now, I recognized it immediately.

Finally, there are three more special things.

They were six pounds of Xiangshan Ancient Tea, Hezhou's famous magical tea grown from the only nineteen remaining ancient tea trees on Xiangye Mountain, and three pieces of Baihua Fruit, a specialty of Wanhua Valley, as recorded in "Hezhou Travel Notes."

Two pots of Yingyue wine, which look quite authentic.

Keep these things sorted and put them away so that they can be taken out as soon as they are needed.

Xiao Chen exhaled lightly: "Huh~, finally done."

It was already the evening of the second day after he returned. When he pushed the door open, he saw Chang Shunping guarding the gate.

The invading demon cultivators had already been dealt with.

So Du Mingjie left with Yao Dehai, and Yang Zhenghao also returned to Dongyuan County to gather his clansmen.

But Chang Shunping still stayed in the Qingyang Spirit Mine and seemed to have forgotten to go home.

Of course, he didn't really forget, but he had already decided in his heart to stay by Xiao Chen's side and hold on to this thigh.

The current situation in Hezhou is too dangerous.

Just because of this invasion of demonic cultivators, at least ten foundation-building families were wiped out.

What happens next?

Chang Shunping is not sure what the future will be like, but he knows that only by living can there be a future.

This time, he had a rare opportunity to stay in the Qingyang Spirit Mine. As long as no one asked him to leave, Xiao Chen would not leave.

He had already made up his mind that after Xiao Chen left at the end of the month, he would let some of his clansmen move to the west of Yuanci Peak.

As for the family's spiritual fields and other ancestral properties, they were left to those elders who were unwilling to leave.

As for himself, he continued to stay close to Xiao Chen and do what he could.

When it comes to fighting with others, Chang Shunping is indeed not very good at it.

However, he had a wide circle of friends in the past and was considered knowledgeable in Hezhou.

Based on Chang Shunping's experience of traveling back and forth to Qingyang Spirit Mine many times, Xiao Chen is a person who is not averse to contacting acquaintances, but does not like to interact with strangers.

When he invited guests, he did so three times, and finally brought the food directly to the spirit mine.

So he stayed on purpose, and soon got a job as a temporary receptionist.

As the news spread that Xiao Chen had killed all the demon cultivators by himself.

A large number of monks from near and far came and sent people to give gifts, make friends, and propose various banquets.

Xiao Chen had to open the bag, so of course he couldn't take care of this kind of thing, so he needed someone to help him deal with it.

This person has to be of some weight, at least able to stop people.

Since Su Wanqing is not here now, Chang Shunping is indeed the more suitable candidate.

He can wait at the door and help with various invitations and invitations.

In theory, this is a job that offends people.

Because Xiao Chen’s requirement is to turn down all useless invitations, he has no time to eat and drink.

With that time, he would rather practice more spells or earn more points.

However, it was unexpected.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chang Shunping agreed very readily.

He patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'll be guarding the door, and no one will disturb your cultivation."
.
Seeing Xiao Chen coming out, Chang Shunping immediately picked up a list and walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, over ninety groups of people have arrived in the past two days. This is the list I copied down from the invitation."

Xiao Chen glanced at the list: "So many invitations?"

Chang Shunping laughed and said, "Hey, this is just the beginning. Once the news gets out, there will be many more people coming."

As he spoke, he pulled out an envelope stained with gold foil from his sleeve: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is an invitation from the Qiu family. They are planning to hold an auction soon."

"The location is in Xianghefang Market, and the time is set during the two days of rotation."

The requirement is to turn down "useless" invitations.

This seemed useful, so it was retained.

"auctions?"

When Xiao Chen opened it, what caught his eye was a unique invitation letter and a solicitation letter.

Qiu Qichen wrote a very eloquent letter, with more than 10,000 words of polite words.

The general meaning is that Xiao Chen must have achieved great results in slaying demons and eliminating evil this time, and he must have accumulated many spiritual objects in his hands.

It just so happens that Xianghe Market is currently preparing for an auction and is in short supply of various spiritual objects.

Therefore, I hope Xiao Chen can help raise some spiritual objects.

In fact, the underlying meaning is that if you want to sell something you don’t need, you can find him.

"What a coincidence! I was just about to ask if there was an auction in Hezhou."

Xiao Chen was indeed thinking about finding a channel to dispose of those unused things, especially spiritual objects such as spiritual herbs and spiritual minerals.

Unexpectedly, I received the news that the auction was collecting items in advance in the blink of an eye.

Chang Shunping curled his lips.

As far as he knew, there was no precedent for Xianghefang Market to hold an auction in February.

But he still smiled and said, "Who says it's not true? This auction is indeed a coincidence."

Xiao Chen put away the invitation and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Chang, I have something else to ask you. Is it convenient for me to ask you?"

Ah!
Chang Shunping immediately answered seriously: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"I promise to tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know."

Xiao Chen actually wanted to deal with the supplies related to the Demon Cult in his hands: "Fellow Daoist Chang, I won't be polite then."

"Are there any black markets or night markets in Hezhou that sell some of the less common items?"

After he asked this, Chang Shunping understood.

But the problem is, he has never actually been exposed to it.

Are you kidding? Would a person who usually avoids various dangers take the initiative to go to a chaotic place like the black market?
Chang Shunping thought about it and answered truthfully: "If Fellow Daoist Xiao is not in a hurry, I can ask a few friends."

"If there is one, it's easy to find it in such a place."

Xiao Chen shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Chang for this matter."

Chang Shunping immediately responded happily: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are too polite."

He hoped that such things would happen more often in the future.

In order to show his importance, Chang Shunping ignored the attempts to keep him and hurried down the mountain to the south to find his good friend to inquire about the situation.

Since someone was willing to help run errands, Xiao Chen felt relieved.

After taking a short rest in the yard, I planned to resume my previous practice rhythm.

I guess few people outside know that he, Senior Fake Dan, is actually only at the seventh level of foundation building.

But it doesn’t matter. Now I am only a few days away from the ninth level of foundation building.

But accidents always come before tomorrow.

Xiao Chen had opened the storage bag for eighteen hours in a row, so he slept soundly in the middle of the night.

Suddenly I felt my body lighten, as if I had fallen off a cliff.

To be honest, he has never had a nightmare since he started practicing.

So when I woke up, I was even a little confused.

I don’t know what is going on?

But soon, the flames all over the mountains calmed him down.

Bad news, Qingyang Mountain is gone.

This sentence has a purely literal meaning.

The Qingyang Mountain, which was originally hundreds of feet high, has disappeared, replaced by a mound of earth only about ten feet high and a blazing black flame.

Good news, Xiao Chen has the Night Blade.

So he is fine for now and can think carefully about which direction to run.

The more times like this happen, the more you should not panic.

Xiao Chen first opened his spiritual eyes and took a look. Sure enough, he saw in the flames the same strange red mist that he had discovered in the broken spiritual bead.

With the help of this mist, even though the ground is half soil and half yellow rock mixed with Qingyang stone.

The flames were still burning fiercely, and it looked like they could last for at least a few moments.

And just two days ago, when he took out the formation plate, the flames that fell with the dissipated black gas also contained this characteristic.

The revenge of the Divine Fire Cult came faster and more resolutely than he had imagined.

He would not hesitate to resort to such means in order to kill the enemy with one blow.

You know, even Ning Haochen, the current chief disciple of Lingyuan Sect, has never enjoyed such treatment.

Shao Mingyou of the Qingxiao Sect, who was rumored to be very likely to break through to the Golden Core stage in the next few years, had not encountered such an attack.

The Divine Fire Sect really thinks highly of him.

What a discerning eye for talent.

I looked around and didn't find any trace, so I could only leave it to fate.

Xiao Chen decisively gave up the direction of Yuanci Peak and Luoyan Mountain.

Instead, he urged the golden light to fly across the earth and quickly left towards the southeast.

Fortunately, before he came to Hezhou, he had the foresight to choose the life-saving Hextech Night's Edge.

Facts have proven that there are never too many ways to save your life.

Sure enough, I used it tonight.

at the same time.

On a spiritual vein thousands of miles away, a large formation was collapsing on its own.

Zhenren Qianhong, who was located in the middle of the spiritual vein, slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced coldly at the collapsing spiritual vein, then walked away.

In fact, the price paid by the Divine Fire Sect this time was not small.

A third-level formation, which involves a large number of rare formation materials.

A second-level spiritual vein was almost drained of its spiritual energy at once.

In the next few hundred years, only a small amount of spirit stones that were not affected could be mined from the periphery, and the center was completely empty.

At the same time, there is a large amount of monks' essence and blood as a sacrifice, as well as a precious demonic energy to enhance the effect of the spell.

"For the next year, I will return to Yingyue Spring to recuperate."

Zhenren Qianhong said this with a pale face, turned around and left to the east.

The other few Demonic Golden Cores outside watched him go away.

The leader, Master Nie Jing, whispered, "Now is not the time for internal strife. Let's first deal with those hypocrites who claim to be righteous."

Ghost Dragon Immortal beside him licked his lips and said: "There are so many spiritual materials, and this spiritual vein that we took with great difficulty, even if it is wasted."

"Is it worth paying such a huge price just to deal with Xiao Chen?"

Nie Jing Zhenren said without hesitation: "Of course it's worth it."

"The Huangquan Palace will be opened soon. This is a matter of great importance and we absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes."
