Chapter 41: The Underground Demon Domain
Murmuring mountain springs.
Qin Cangyun sat quietly at the stone table, staring at the clouds in the sky with deep eyes, drifting leisurely by, and did not make a sound for a long time.
Opposite him, the stunning girl was holding an arm-thick, black and unknown piece of wood, her beautiful eyes full of concentration, and she was cutting quickly with her blood beacon sword. With the flickering of the sword's light, pieces of wood that were thinner than silk paper, almost transparent, kept falling and soon gathered into a pile under her feet.
The wood shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a moment, it disappeared completely, and a burst of colorful streamers erupted from the Blood Beacon Sword, and then quickly dimmed, and subtle cracks appeared on the body of the sword.
"It's finally done, it's just a pity for this artifact." Qin Luyan sighed with some regret.
The wood is a specialty from the Underworld: the Soul Loving Tree. It is an extremely fierce and mysterious demonic creature, at first it was just a seed the size of a grain of rice, drifting around with the help of the evil aura of the underground, and it must find the burial place of powerful monsters before it can take root, absorbing the residual soul essence of dead monsters and growing. It will take thousands of years to grow into seedlings, and it will take more than 3,000 years to grow into the thickness of an arm.
This thing's stealth and concealment methods are extremely clever, its attack methods are mysterious and weird, and it feeds on the soul and blood of powerful creatures, and it is a great thing in the Demon Realm that makes people talk about it.
The Soul Loving Tree is of considerable use to the monks, and if some are added to the refining of certain elixirs that nourish the soul and repair the dark wounds of the Origin Dao Root, it will increase the efficacy of the elixir by about fifty percent. Coupled with the rarity, it is often priceless outside.
Moreover, its material is harder than gold essence, and it must be a spirit weapon-level weapon to barely cut it, and it is extremely laborious. It was Qin Cangyun who sharpened her precise control of her own sword path in this way.
According to him, a two-foot-long piece of wood can be cut into 10,000 pieces of wood of equal thickness in the time of three incense sticks, which can be regarded as meeting the requirements.
It's just that Qin Luyan has never been able to reach this step, and she has not passed the test until today. However, this good spirit weapon long sword was worn out excessively, and the magic circle engraved on it completely collapsed, and it could never be restored.
"Don't mind, it's just a weapon, the old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come." Qin Cangyun looked at her, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
After a deep sigh, he took out a purple and faint bracelet, as well as a delicate silver light boat and put it on the table, and said to her: "Even if your grinding period here is over, this storage bracelet is not bad, so I will give it to you." The speed of this Wind Guardian is acceptable, and it is a treasure that I accidentally obtained in my early years, and I must have used it a lot when I traveled in the future. ”
According to the introduction of the relevant classics of Xuanling Palace, above the magic weapon is the spiritual weapon, and then there are treasures, magic weapons, and Taoist treasures.
The magic weapon is just returned, the spirit weapon is already relatively rare, and it must be refined by a master of the spirit realm; As for the treasure weapon, in addition to the higher requirements for materials, it is also necessary for the strong people of the Rong Yuan Realm to try to refine it.
Magic weapons are even rarer, usually they are transformed by heaven and earth, and often have the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, slaughter cities and destroy countries. A top-level Dao system like Xuanling Palace was only in the hands of the Supreme Sect Leader and a few core elders who had cultivated to the heavens.
And Dao Treasures, most of which belong to the innate gods cultivated in Hongmeng, can suppress the number of qi, operate creation, open the world and other incredible powers, the entire world may not be able to find one or two.
Qin Luyan thanked her respectfully, and then put it away.
Qin Cangyun thought for a while, and then said: "You don't have a suitable weapon to use now, but this doesn't matter, I heard that the sect is planning to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the underground demon domain recently, and all disciples with enough strength can participate, so you can try it." Earn more military exploits, and those old guys will naturally not hesitate to give you something to take advantage of. ”
"Okay." Qin Luyan agreed.
She was not ignorant of the news outside, the last time the Cangyuan Demon Gate located in the underground demon domain raided the mountain gate of Xuanling Palace, and suffered heavy losses but did not reap much benefit. And the high-level of Xuanling Palace is obviously not the master who can't fight back and scold back, and after relieving himself, he began to think about finding a way back.
This time, the high-level agreed clean-up operation not only dispatched a large number of elites in the sect, but also united the other two Dao families with good relations to take action, vowing to fight the Cangyuan Demon Sect for hundreds of years.
……
on the city walls.
Bai Yifan, who was clothed in a feather coat and a star crown and a fairy wind bone, stood with a man, looking at the mountain gate of Xuanling Palace, which was shining with bright light and steaming clouds, and was silent.
The man's beard and hair were all white, but his face looked no different from that of a boy of fifteen or sixteen, his eyes were deep and ruddy, and he did not show the slightest sign of age.
"How?"
Bai Yifan took out a golden gourd from his sleeve, unscrewed the lid, and the rich aroma of wine permeated the air. He leaned in and took two mouthfuls before asking.
The man turned his head to look at him and shook his head slightly: "It's hard." ”
"What's so hard? We have already calculated that she is a member of the Xuanling Palace, the last time I saw her luck hidden, her cultivation is also very ordinary, obviously her status in the sect is not high, at most she is an outer disciple. Bai Yifan said.
"That being said, there are tens of thousands of outer disciples in the Xuan Ling Palace, and they are distributed in different places, so how easy is it for us to find them one by one?" The man frowned.
"Perhaps, we should go directly to the Xuanling Palace Sect Master......" Bai Yifan suddenly stopped halfway through speaking.
The Son of Creation has a great deal to do, and if the high-level officials of Xuanling Palace really know about it, it must be closely guarded and protected, and all the benefits will be monopolized. At that time, how can there be a chance for the Huanxing Hall to intervene?
So this can only be done quietly, including contact with the stunning girl. If those guys were to detect the slightest clue, the consequences would not be ordinary trouble.
The ideal situation, of course, is to find the woman and bring her back to the master without alarming the Xuanling Palace. After a few years, the Huanxing Hall will be able to sit and watch the situation in the world change, bloody and bloody, but it will be safe and worry-free.
"What I'm most worried about now is that some of the peripheral cultivators of the sect don't know what is at stake, in case they accidentally see that woman, and they talk nonsense without any words, so that outsiders know about her extraordinary, the hidden danger will be too great." The man said worriedly.
Bai Yifan's expression became serious, as far as he knew, there were indeed some casual cultivators in this city who could have a little relationship with the Huanxing Palace, and there were two guys who also had a good relationship with the outer gate elders in the city.
"Uncle Shi, what should we do then?" Bai Yifan asked.
"That's it for the time being, I will inform the master, and send more forces to come over to secretly investigate, all on the premise that there is no leakage."
"Well, that's all there is to it."
……
On the square inside the mountain gate, the crowd is bustling and lively.
This action of the sect is not trivial, the convening order was issued a few days ago, and today is the official departure day. The inner disciples who were interested in participating in the expedition and training gathered here early, waiting for the elders to come and make arrangements.
As for the core disciples, they will not appear here because they are stronger and can act together with the elders.
“…… Senior Brother Wen Hao, have you broken through again? It seems that it is not far from the Yunling Realm. Cao Mingyu greeted warmly.
This Zhao Wenhao was originally from the same city as him, and he performed well in the last actual combat experience, tied for second place with the mysterious origin of Kong Yuanming.
Zhao Wenhao, who was carrying a long sword and not smiling, nodded lightly and said, "The Yunling Realm is not so easy to break through, I hope this underground battle can be rewarded." ”
"As long as you can find a way to come back alive, of course, you can't go home empty-handed." Li Hanfeng's indifferent voice sounded.
Zhao Wenhao didn't make a sound, Cao Mingyu, who had a sleek personality, leaned over to greet the other party, this is the person next to Senior Brother Jun Muyang, maybe he knows some inside information, and it doesn't hurt to stutter.
“…… Yeon-yeon, so you're here, let's find it. ”
In the corner of the square, Qin Luyan, who was veiled, was leaning on the carved jade railing, holding a silk scarf and slowly wiping a wedge-shaped weapon in her hand. Hearing the voice, he raised his head, and saw Mo Xingyao running over excitedly, followed by Yu Huan.
"Eh, you're going to participate too? Didn't you just get promoted? Qin Luyan said in surprise.
The two of them have been in the outer courtyard for more than a year, because they often ask Cuiyun to send them some pills, so they enter the realm very quickly, and they have passed the assessment half a month ago and become inner disciples, of course, this cultivation must still have some moisture, and it takes time to settle and enrich.
"It's a rare opportunity, even if you don't earn much credit, it's good to go down and see it."
Yu Huan hugged her and looked at her, and said with a smile: "You have lived in seclusion for more than a year, you should have gone to retreat and practiced hard, right?" I can't see through you anymore. ”
Qin Luyan responded with a few words with a smile, reluctant to talk too much about her affairs in Panyun Peak.
"How do you use such a bulky weapon? Isn't the Blood Beacon Sword better? Mo Xingyao looked at the heavy hammer in her hand and asked puzzled.
"The Blood Beacon Sword has been destroyed, so let's make do with this first. As long as you earn enough combat merits, it is not difficult to change to a good spiritual weapon. Qin Luyan said.
A hundred steps away, Luo Wen walked over with a group of disciples with their heads held high, Han Qing was also among them, it seemed that they were all people from Jun Muyang's faction, all of them had cold eyes and strong blood, and they were all cultivators of the ninefold Qi Refining Realm, and a few of them had a strong aura and momentum, and they had been in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm for a long time, and it seemed that they could set foot in the Yun Spirit Realm at any time, and their spirit and body were both transformed and reborn.
"This is the team recruited by the senior brother? It's just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, and I don't know how many will survive this time. Qin Luyan smiled to herself, wrapped the heavy hammer made of the Skyfall Star Core with a silk scarf, and put it in the storage bracelet.
