Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 189 Encountering the Future

"I seem to have awakened the memory of a past life. There is an underground palace calling me."

Fairy Baiyue said without hesitation.

"Do you know what your name was in that life from your awakened memory?"

Dou Eqing asked curiously.

"Xi Muyuan."

"Xi Muyuan?"

"Yes, his name is Xi Muyuan. However, I don't have many memories of the life when I awakened. I only have some memories of the early days of my cultivation.

There is also a vaguely related memory, but I’m not sure if it’s from that life.”

"What is the memory?"

"Emperor Yuan's Underground Palace, a scene of an underground palace disappearing into the long river of time."

"what!"

Dou Eqing seemed to be hit by the words of Fairy Baiyue.

The long river of time is a miracle that even immortals cannot see.

"Well, you're already at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, so can't you escape underground?"

He tried to change the subject.

This is because it is suspected that Fairy Baiyue may have learned about Emperor Yuan's underground palace from other places and deliberately made up a story about her past life memories.

"I tried, but here I can only burrow down to a depth of 230 meters and no deeper. In other places, I can burrow down to a depth of 700 meters without any problem."

Upon hearing this, Dou Eqing immediately tried it himself to see how deep he could go underground.

Because he remembered that he could not use his escape skills in many places on the sheep farm path.

He went underground for a while and then came out again.

Although the depth of his underground escape was more than 230 meters, it was only 270 meters. Going further down, he encountered other obstacles. He tried his best to use the escape technique, but he only advanced one meter each time.

"Let me ask you, are you sure you're not lying to me? Didn't you find out about Emperor Yuan's Underground Palace from somewhere else?"

"Then I will swear an oath. I, Situ Baiyue, swear to heaven that the origin of the four characters 'Emperor Yuan's Underground Palace' is from the awakening of my past life memories. If there is even a single word that is untrue, I will be condemned to eternal damnation!"

Only then did Dou Eqing learn that the other person's real name was Situ Baiyue.

"Hey, I was just saying it casually. Why did you take an oath? I just tried to burrow underground, but I could only go 270 meters deep. I believe what you said."

Fairy Baiyue took the oath so quickly that Dou Eqing was too late to stop her.

"The opportunity lies at a depth of 270 meters?"

Fairy Baiyue asked subconsciously.

"Anyway, the luck may really be yours, and it has nothing to do with me, so I will tell you everything."

He then told everything he knew about Emperor Yuan's underground palace.

"In my memory of that life, I did raise a land dragon turtle from the beginning. That gluttonous turtle always gave me a sense of familiarity..."

"Without further delay, I'll take you to the narrow path."

Dou Eqing interrupted the Moon Worshiping Fairy.

He really wanted to know if he could follow her into Emperor Yuan's underground palace to gain opportunities.

"it is good."

The Moon Worshiping Fairy extended her right hand.

Seeing this, he subconsciously took her hand and performed the earth escape technique.

The result is that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The door of Emperor Yuan's underground palace opened automatically for Fairy Baiyue, but Dou Eqing just couldn't get in.

Even if he shamelessly let Fairy Baiyue carry him in, he could not see anything. Instead, he felt a great fear in his heart, as if he was in danger of death at any time.

"I have no connection with Emperor Yuan's underground palace. Forcing it will only lead to trouble. I don't know how long you will be here. I have something important to do, so I'll leave now."

Dou Eqing said very unwillingly.

"I have no way to repay such an opportunity..."

The Moon Worship Fairy paused and continued:

Senior, please leave me your address. I will definitely repay you when I get out."

"Don't call me senior. My strength is not my own. I just borrowed it. In fact, I am only in the Nascent Soul stage and have only been practicing Taoism for a few decades.

I think we are destined to be together. How about we become sworn brothers and sisters? How about I call you Sister Baiyue from now on?"

Dou Eqing realized that Fairy Baiyue might really be the reincarnation of Emperor Yuan, and after inheriting the inheritance from Emperor Yuan's underground palace, she might soar to the sky and become a great figure.

Then, it is also a great opportunity to catch up with this future big man.

However, he did not know that the Moon Worshiping Fairy had only been practicing for sixty years, which resulted in her spending most of her time in seclusion since her reincarnation. Although she was the head of the Moon Worshiping Altar, she seldom interacted with others.

She heard that Dou Eqing had only practiced Taoism for a few decades but had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, a great master. In addition, he had previously descended from the sky to save all the disciples of the Baiyue Altar. Not only did he save the Baiyue Fairy, but he also took responsibility for her.

Dou Eqing has the handsome appearance of a young monk. Various factors combined with his romantic luck unconsciously generate an unexpected affection for Baiyue Fairy.

It's not wrong to say that Fairy Baiyue is simple, and love at first sight will leave her without any doubt.

While Dou Eqing was confused, Fairy Baiyue made a hand gesture, and Dou Eqing felt that she looked familiar.

When the rune transformed from the hand gesture fell between his eyebrows, he subconsciously accepted it and then remembered that this was the dual cultivation contract signed between him and Jin Qianxin.

In fact, Fairy Baiyue had no other intentions. She was just expressing her desire to marry him in a tactful way. However, she was not in a position to speak out loud, let alone throw herself into his arms right away, so she used mysterious hand gestures instead of words.

"Fairy?"

"Didn't you say you would call me sister?"

Dou Eqing immediately realized that it was the peach blossom luck again.

"Remember to call me sister from now on."

The words of the Moon-Baiyue Fairy were still ringing in Dou Eqing's ears, but her figure disappeared from his sight and entered the underground palace of Emperor Yuan.

It seemed like she was a little shy about the dual cultivation contract and ran away.

"Sister Yue? You're fine as a sister, but forget about being a Taoist partner. Can I even handle a woman like this?"

Dou Eqing couldn't help but mutter to himself.

She thought that the other party might be the reincarnation of a legendary figure. If the memory of that life were to resurface one day, it would be disastrous if the other party regretted it.

"Dou boy, you are even more powerful than my father Long!"

Suddenly, the Taotie dragon turtle beast's telepathic voice brought Dou Eqing back to his thoughts.

"It's time for me to go back."

Dou Eqing murmured to himself but did not respond to the Taotie dragon turtle beast.

On his way back to Juben Mountain, he always felt that he had missed something.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of Juben Mountain, Wang Yanjia sent him a message telling him that Jin Qianxin and the people from Juxian Village were attacking them.

If it was an ordinary attack, Dou Eqing would not be worried, but he felt that Jin Qianxin's attack this time was obviously not that simple.

"Could it be that the news about the top-grade spirit stone has been leaked?"

He couldn't help but feel worried.

If the news that he obtained a large number of top-grade items spreads, he will become the target of all the Jindan cultivators in the Gourd Forbidden Area, and the peak Jindan cultivators will definitely try every means to rob him.

The top-grade spirit stone plus the temptation of the treasures on him that were previously rumored to be on him, if he is not careful, he will become a rat crossing the street and everyone will want to rob him.

However, worrying is useless. The only real priority is to put the top-grade spirit stones into your own pocket.

He entered the stone forest cautiously and found that no cultivators were digging for top-grade spirit stones. Obviously, they had all gone to fight outside.

"Can you help me separate the top-grade spirit stones?"

He looked at the Taotie dragon turtle beast with anticipation.

"I didn't expect this place to have such high-quality negative energy ore. Dou boy, why are you only interested in top-grade spirit stones?"

"I know about the Negative Energy Stone, what's its use?"

Dou Eqing asked in confusion. "Oh, you humans can no longer use negative energy ore to refine weapons. It's okay, it's a great opportunity for you to give it to me."

When the Taotie dragon turtle beast said this, Dou Eqing thought of Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was injured last time and was recuperating, so Dou Eqing almost forgot about it.

Dian Wei is like a glutton when it comes to food, and he almost accepts anything that comes to him. It would be a good idea to let Dian Wei dig for top-grade spirit stones.

He released Dian Wei as soon as he thought of it.

"Dianwei, help me pick out the top-grade spirit stones. Can you use this negative energy stone?"

"Okay, Master. With the Negative Energy Stone, my defense can be raised to a higher level."

Dian Wei took action after he finished speaking.

"Big guy, this negative energy mine belongs to me. Your mission is to dig out top-grade spirit stones for Dou."

The Taotie dragon turtle beast watched Dianwei devour the negative energy ore in big mouthfuls, and immediately joined in the mining operation, while revealing his greed without a doubt.

Dou Eqing looked at the speed at which the two were digging for top-grade spirit stones, and estimated how long it would take to dig out the rich mine of top-grade spirit stones.

Because he expected that he would not be able to take all the top-grade spirit stones here for himself, and he also wanted to escape from Jin Qianxin, so the matter of Lingmei Demon could be put aside for the time being.

It’s just that plans can’t keep up with changes. He needs the Stone Forest Forbidden Spirit to leave some of the top-grade spirit stone mines to attract the attention of other gods.

Then, he used himself as bait to hunt down the demon cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm.

Since outsiders don't understand how he digs for top-grade spirit stones, the attention of a peak-level Jindan cultivator will most likely be focused on the Giant Basin Mountain.

In this way, when Dou Eqing returns to this stage of growth, the pressure he faces from robbing monks will be much less.

In half an hour, Dian Wei dug up one hundred top-grade spirit stones, and he could dig about five thousand top-grade spirit stones a day.

The Taotie dragon turtle beast swallowed the top-grade spirit stone and the negative energy ore into its stomach. It had to wait until it had digested them before it could give the separated top-grade spirit stone to Dou Eqing.

However, it obtained significantly more top-grade spirit stones than Dianwei.

Top-grade Spirit Stones are much smaller than high-grade Spirit Stones, only half the size. It takes about one cubic meter of negative energy ore to dig out a top-grade Spirit Stone.

And this is rich ore.

It would take an ordinary cultivator a stick of incense to dig this piece of negative energy ore.

Ever since Dou Eqing subdued Jie Shancai, he has only received less than two hundred top-grade spirit stones.

"Then I'll dig for three days. Thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones is a lot for me now."

So, Dou Eqing asked the Taotie Dragon Turtle Beast and Dian Wei to dig top-grade spirit stones here, while he went out to harvest the fifth-level merits.

He watched the battle from a distance wearing an invisibility cloak.

"Why did Juxian Village launch another attack so quickly?"

He first sent a message to the deputy village chief Fan Chong to inquire about the situation.

"Someone may have leaked the top-grade spirit stone mine."

Fan Sui's words confirmed Dou Eqing's guess.

"Could it be that Xing Dashan didn't die after falling off the cliff? It's so deep down there, and flying is prohibited, how did he get up?

By the way, how do you, Xing Dashan, ensure that the top-grade spirit stone mines are not leaked?"

Dou Eqing wondered how the news of the top-grade spirit stone was leaked. Could it have been leaked a long time ago, but only now reached Jin Qianxin?

"I suspect it was Wang Yanjia who leaked it."

Fan Sui directly stated his guess.

"Yes, I forgot to plant the Demon Slave Mark on that woman."

Dou Eqing slapped his thigh and finally remembered what he had missed.

"You only need to hold on for three more days. It's up to you whether to leave or stay. The top-grade spirit stones in your hands will also belong to you.

However, I suggest that you join the Juxian Village when the time comes. Only by sticking together can you keep the top-grade spirit stones in your hands."

He sent a message to all the demon slaves, saying that he had found an excellent target for a surprise attack. After that, he ambushed a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm who was hired by Juxian Village.

He then intended to select hired monks, but the number of such monks was limited. After a day, they were killed until only one hired monk in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was left.

Therefore, he had to set his target on the incarnation monk hired by Jie Shancai.

His targeted attack was so targeted that even though he was invisible, he was still discovered by the monks on both sides.

However, he also ambushed the monks who robbed Shancai, leaving only one hired Divine Transformation monk. That man fled directly and did not participate in the battle.

The only hired cultivator left in Juxian Village also realized the situation belatedly and wanted to escape.

I couldn't help but attack and kill this person.

"Dou Eqing, come out!"

Jin Qianxin shouted, then condensed a huge hand of spiritual power and attacked Dou Eqing's hidden position.

As soon as Dou Eqing entered the battle, Jin Qianxin discovered his presence, but had no idea who he was targeting.

After all, he is still invisible, and we need to focus on finding him to know what he is doing.

Jin Qianxin was already injured and was besieged by Fan Chong, Wang Yanjia and another late-stage Shenhua cultivator. He had no energy to pay attention to the invisible Dou Eqing.

However, this last hired monk shouted "one of us" before his death, which made Jin Qianxin realize that Dou Eqing was killing people from Juxianzhai.

Dou Eqing had no choice but to escape underground and immediately return to the forbidden spirit area of ​​the Stone Forest.

Even though only two and a half days had passed, he felt satisfied.

After all, he had gained twenty-one fifth-level merits this time, and more than twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones were enough for him at the moment.

What's more, there was an unexpected gain. Dian Wei and Taotie Dragon Turtle Beast swallowed countless negative energy Kuangs. After they digested them, the defense level will be greatly improved.

Although the Taotie dragon turtle beast had just swallowed the negative energy ore, a thin piece of negative energy ore-like armor had already appeared on its back, which meant it had an extra layer of defensive armor made of negative energy ore.

Secondly, Dianwei used the negative energy ore on his chest first, and it seemed like there was an extra chest protector there.

Today's cultivators are unable to use negative energy ores to refine magical weapons, but special spirit beasts with bloodline inheritance can make use of them.

Dou Eqing just happened to have the Taotie dragon turtle beast and Dian Wei to use, turning waste into treasure.

Moreover, few cultivators in the outside world know about the negative energy mine. The negative energy mine is only left here temporarily, and can be used by the Dianwei and Taotie Dragon Turtle Beast in the future.

His top-grade spirit stones were mainly used to restore his body in the Yangyuan Spring. Now it was a bit of a luxury to use top-grade spirit stones for cultivation.

Even for cultivators at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, top-grade spirit stones are used as trading currency or for breakthroughs, and are not used directly for cultivation.

However, using top-grade spirit stones to help Hua Bubai break through is not enough, unless one can find a treasure land with a fifth-grade spirit vein.

In fact, the fifth-level spiritual vein on the top of the Giant Basin Mountain is only a short distance away from the fifth-level top-grade. With the help of top-grade spiritual stones to upgrade, it will not take long to set up a large formation to achieve it.

However, the first right to use the breakthrough here must have been monopolized by Jin Qianxin, so how could it be given to Hua Bubai first?

The only thing Dou Eqing could target was the spiritual vein of Caihua Pavilion.

The Caihua Pavilion absorbed the Yanghua Tower branch and moved the two fifth-level spirit veins together, and it is not far from the fifth-level top-grade.

Now that I have these 20,000 pairs of top-grade spirit stones, I can make some plans.

However, it is difficult for him to get out of the gourd now.

Without the support of Xuansheng Tianmo, it would be dangerous to meet a master like Xiang Lulai outside.

Even if it wasn't a cultivator with top-level combat power like Xiang Nonglai in the Spirit Transformation Realm, being besieged by multiple cultivators in the late Spirit Transformation Realm would be very dangerous for Dou Eqing.

It seems that his top priority now is to earn fifth-level merit and improve his cultivation and strength.

Dou Eqing likes to attack the enemy from behind, and he is very clear about his own situation.

Therefore, he was able to stop this opportunity of top-grade spirit stones because he saw the situation he was in.

However, he stopped while he was ahead and forgot about Wang Yanjia's existence.

Others didn't know that he had escaped underground and retreated back to the forbidden spiritual area of ​​the Stone Forest, but Wang Yanjia guessed it.

Combining what Dou Eqing had said to others, she realized that Dou Eqing was going to "escape" alone.

But this is not something Wang Yanjia can accept.
