Chapter 169
Before taking office, Li Rong was given a ten-year vacation, and when he returned home, he sent Li Shi to repair a letter to Adani, telling her that he was back, and then stayed at home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info practice martial arts and swordsmanship during the day, by the way, instruct Li Shi one or two, read martial arts classics in his spare time, increase his knowledge, and be familiar with intelligence, and figure out the situation of the Jinwu Guard, so as not to be caught blind when he gets it.
"The Ice Jade Recipe of the Heavenly Demon Sect is indeed a first-class body refining method, and the prescription given by Yuan Xingchong is true." Li Hui looked at the book recorded by Li Rong and said.
Li Hui is a master-level master, a wide range of martial arts, very good medical skills, because of his wife's relationship, he has a deep understanding of the magic sect exercises, and he can identify the truth of the exercises.
In the early stage in Jiangnan, Li Rong had no time and way to collect medicinal materials for cultivation, and now that he had returned to Luoyang, he naturally had to put this matter on the agenda. The physical part of the Ice Jade Jue does not conflict with its own exercises, and it can be practiced concurrently.
"A hundred years of bone grass, five hundred years of ginseng, deer antler, rehmannia, Morinda officinalis, nine ghost orchids?" Li Hui said silently, reading this and putting down the scroll, "Other medicines are okay, although they are precious, they can still be found, but the Nine Ghost Orchids are rare." ā
"What the hell is the Nine Ghost Orchid?" Li Rong asked.
In his previous life, Li Rong was also a master of boxing, and some of the prescriptions for tempering the body and boiling the muscles and bones were familiar, and most of the medicines were not unfamiliar. At that time, he only cared about the exercises, and didn't care about the Nine Ghost Orchid.
"You have to ask Yuan Xingchong for the specific situation, people in the Demon Gate often use this flavor medicine." Li Hui said.
"Okay," Li Rong replied.
In the afternoon, Li Rong walked to Yuan Xingchong's house to ask for advice.
"Yuan Ming is here!" After waiting for about an hour, Yuan Xing rushed back to the mansion, saw Li Rong coming, and hurriedly invited him into the study.
"You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, what's the matter?" Yuan Xingchong sat down and asked.
"I want to ask the Nine Ghost Orchids?" Li Rong said directly.
"Nine Ghost Orchid? I know that you will come and ask sooner or later," Yuan Xingchong ordered someone to cook tea, served a tea tray, and poured tea for himself and Li Rong.
"Is this Nine Ghost Orchid unique to your sect, why haven't I heard of it?" Li Rong asked.
Many sects have unique drug combinations, such as the corpse qi cultivation of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, there are so many medicines in the world, but there are not too many commonly used, and some drugs are not known at all except for people in the sect.
"It's not unique to my sect, but there are really not many people who know about this medicine. The Nine Ghost Orchid is a feminine elixir, suitable for many cultivators of the Yin attribute True Qi martial arts, and the effect of breaking through the shackles of the realm is wonderful. Yuan Xingchong said, "Back then, I spent a lot of effort to collect a few Nine Ghost Orchids, which were used to refine the body, so that the body could reach the point of jade bone fragrance, and successfully advance to the innate level. ā
"Where can I get my hands on it?" Li Rong took a sip of tea and said.
"The Nine Ghost Orchid is produced in the swamp deep in the secret forest of Southern Xinjiang, surrounded by poisonous insects and inaccessible, and the Nine Ghost Orchid has a short flowering period and is not easy to store, which increases the difficulty of obtaining it." Yuan Xingchong is knowledgeable.
"Don't show off your knowledge, tell me where you can get the Nine Ghost Orchid?" Li Rong said.
"This thing even my sect has to watch the sky for dinner, and I can only buy a few flowers occasionally, but there is no stock at present, but there will definitely be a place." Yuan Xingchong said.
"There?" Li Rong asked.
"Luoyang City, Taoist Workshop, Ghost Mansion, looking for the Ghost King." Yuan Xing said with a smile.
"It turned out to be there." Li Rong suddenly realized.
Ghost Mansion is a mysterious organization in Luoyang, located in the underground of the Taoist workshop, which is the remnants of Luoyang City in previous generations, and has undergone several changes and is buried underground. When Emperor Yang Guang of the former dynasty built Luoyang, he collected strange people and strange people in the rivers and lakes to arrange Taoist workshops, half for his own use, and half to prevent them from disturbing the rivers and lakes and affecting their own rule. These strange people gathered together, stumbled upon the abandoned ruins of the underground, and then used them as a base to form an underground city that extends in all directions.
Even if it swept the world later, Emperor Taizong, who had made great martial arts, was unable to eliminate this force, and after a secret compromise, the ghost mansion was retained, and it became a place for martial artists to trade and cultivate resources, and the major forces carried out secret transactions.
There is nothing in the legend that the ghost king does not know, and there is nothing that cannot be found. The treasures you want, as big as weapons and grains, and at least the big Dan of the Lin Temple, you have everything, and you can only be willing to pay.
"How can I contact the Ghost King?" Li Rong asked, "Do you have a way?" ā
Yuan Xingchong is an elder of the Demon Gate, a seventh-grade grandmaster, and it is said that there must be a way to contact the ghost mansion.
"Haha, this ghost king has some old grudges with me, back then, I half-robbed and half-bought the Nine Ghost Orchid, which angered his old man and blacklisted me, you still go to Li Yuanfang, he is familiar there." Yuan Xingchong said.
The Nine Ghost Orchids are not only useful for cultivating the Ice Jade Technique, but also for many masters. In order to rush through the pass, Yuan Xingchong relied on the identity of the Guzu Empress Yuanhua Jiupin Grand Master to force the ghost king to give in, so he angered the ghost king and swore not to associate with him again.
Li Rong asked Yuan Xingchong some secrets of cultivating the Ice Jade Technique, and after chatting for a long time, he left the Yuan Mansion to find Li Yuanfang.
Through the agreed contact information, Li Rong found Li Yuanfang, who had returned to Luoyang a few days earlier, in an inconspicuous courtyard in Beishi.
"Congratulations to Yuanming on reaching the next level!" Li Yuanfang invited Li Rong to enter and said.
"You're so well informed." Li Rong said.
Li Rongneng was in charge of Jin Wuwei, which was of great benefit to the Tsing Yi Society, at least it enabled the Tsing Yi Society to get rid of the previous suppressed situation. After the severe crackdown of Qiu Shenji and the Qiu family, all the Tangkou shops on the bright side were sealed, nearly 100 people were arrested, and 30 or 40 people were tortured to death, and they were seriously injured.
Li Rong had heard Li Yuanfang mention these things when he was in Yangzhou, originally with Li Hui's relationship, Wei Chi Xiulin's father is now the general of the Right Jin Wuwei, and it is not difficult to get the imprisoned people out, but Qiu Shenji is bent on unifying the Luoyang underground underworld by the Qiu family, and strives to obstruct this matter, and with the respect of the general, it is difficult for others to interfere. Today, Qiu Shenji left his post, and Li Rong took over the actual post of General Jin Wuwei, and it was easy to solve this matter.
"Brother Yuanfang, don't worry, I will definitely let the people of your society get out of the prison completely." Li Rong said.
"Most of them are poor people, just to earn a bowl of rice to eat, and the Qiu family is really too deceitful." Li Yuanfang said, "Yuanming, you came to the door, what else is the matter?" ā
"I heard Yuan Xingchong say that you know the ghost king of the ghost mansion, and I want to make a deal with him and get something." Li Rong said.
"What do you want, can't even Master Li Hui get it?" Li Yuanfang frowned and said, "The ghost king is not easy to deal with, his asking price is too high." ā
"Nine Ghost Orchid, I heard that only the Ghost King can get it." Li Rong said.
"Okay, I'll take you around." Li Yuanfang said, "Just now, the ghost mansion is open." ā
Li Yuanfang packed up and took Li Rong to Nancheng late at night.
The underground ghost mansion under the Taoist workshop, the so-called ruins of the previous dynasty, is essentially a huge city, the area is half the size of the southern city, divided into several layers, there is a city under the city, the passage is dense, chaotic like a spider web. If a person hides inside, it will be difficult to find out if he is like a drop of water returning to the sea. Those underworld forces in Luoyang City, there are not a few villains who have committed crimes and are wanted by the imperial court to hide in the ghost mansion.
The dark streets, the sunlight does not let in, only the sound of the water flowing in the underground dark river gives a touch of life to this silent world.
"You Shan, do you remember what you promised last time?" Wu Sansi shouted as he stood in front of a dilapidated courtyard in the Ghost Mansion.
"Come in!" A fluctuating voice came from inside, and it came into Wu Sansi's ears.
Wu Sansi was unusual, and strode into the courtyard.
The pitch-black, almost decaying door of the house opened without wind, revealing a black hole-like space.
"Poof", a little bean-sized fire suddenly lit up, floating in the air, floating and uncertain, like a ghost fire, making a small sound.
Wu Sansi frowned, his body lit up with a faint white light, and the cold air was released, like a human-shaped ice cube, standing in the middle of the house.
The strange ghost fire in the house did not surprise him, the strange thing was that Wu Sansi felt that You Shan's breath was also fluttering like a ghost fire, flourishing and fainting, obviously his skill had reached a new realm.
"With just a sixth-rank martial artist, can't your martial arts family handle it?" You Shan's voice echoed through the room.
"Before Li Hui died, we didn't want to touch his son." Wu Sansi said, locking his breath to the northeast corner of the house.
The red light flashed, and the blood-red figure appeared in the corner, appearing in front of Wu Sansi.
"Okay, I'll promise to make a move, and you can provide him with his whereabouts." You Shan said.
"There is also a message for you for free, Qiu Shenji's achievements have been advanced, and victory will be returned." Wu Sansi looked at You Shan and said.
The red light on You Shan's body expanded and contracted, and faint humanoid phantoms appeared, and the phantoms' faces were distorted, as if they were screaming silently, and the pain was very great.
Wu Sansi's body shook from side to side, like a swimming fish swinging its tail, getting rid of the lock of Youshan's breath on the opposite side, retreating and flying, and disappearing into the darkness outside the house.
"Qiu Shenji, Gaga, what you have given, I will never forget Youshan." You Shan opened his mouth and whispered hideously.
