Chapter 319: True Demon Qi
Chapter 319: True Demon Qi
Qin Xin first took out the paper and pen he had just bought, then took out the broken book and the jade slip that Uncle Ouyang sold him, and began to look at the broken book while comparing it with the jade slip, translating the content of the broken book little by little.
When you encounter a word you don't know, you can slowly find it in the jade slip given by Uncle Ouyang.
While concentrating on the translation, I carefully wrote the translated content on a blank piece of paper.
Fortunately, the book was not too thick, only one hundred and sixty or seventy pages in total, so he had already completed the translation of this broken book before dawn.
After stretching his waist and moving his somewhat sleepy wrist, he eagerly picked up the translated paper and began to study it word by word.
Time passed little by little, the sky gradually brightened, and it slowly darkened again, Qin Xin looked at the translated content and unconsciously passed another day and a night.
During this time, the expression on his face was constantly changing, sometimes excited, sometimes frowning and contemplative, sometimes uncertain, sometimes moaning.
In the end, he seemed to be thinking about something that was difficult to solve, and looked at the paper in his hand with a depressed face, and started to be stunned.
After a long time, he suddenly patted the storage bag on his waist, and the next moment, when the white light flashed, there was immediately an extra boxy brick-like object in his hand, which was the brick jade slip he scavenged from Xiao Ran and Lu Yuan, who were chasing him, as for which of them found this jade slip, he no longer knew which of them had found it.
He pasted the brick jade slip on his forehead, and then his divine sense penetrated into the huge jade slip, and a very three-dimensional map appeared in his mind, with mountains, water, trees, flowers and plants on the map...... He looked at them all.
Finally, he stopped his divine consciousness at the places recorded in those ancient texts, and muttered with joy on his face: "Sure enough, it is the same as recorded in the broken book, Sankong Mountain, Feiliu River, Chenpan Valley, Deterrent Heart Cliff, and Heishui Creek...... Yes, they are exactly the same as the place names recorded in that book, but unfortunately I have never heard of these place names at all.
In this way, this broken book should be an item from the same period as this brick-like jade slip, maybe these two things were found together, but it is also possible that they were separated later, but unfortunately these two things are useless to themselves. ”
It turned out that after a day and a night of sleepless research, he finally studied the contents of this broken book, and according to the records in the book, he could basically determine that this book was indeed an ancient alchemy.
Moreover, after he read it a few times, he felt that he vaguely remembered where he had seen some of the place names recorded in the book.
But because the time interval was a little long, he couldn't remember where he had seen it after thinking about it for a long time, and it wasn't until the end that he remembered the brick door jade slip.
After comparison, the place names recorded on the brick jade slips are exactly the same as those recorded in this broken book.
But he looked at the map several times and then contacted these places, knowing that he didn't know what place was recorded in the map, and the alchemy recorded in this broken book didn't seem to be of any use to him at all.
Because judging from the translated words, he guessed that this alchemy technique might not be for human cultivation, and the reason why he said this was because the exercises in this book clearly stated that the process of cultivating this kind of exercise required a large amount of "true demon qi" to practice.
The "True Demon Qi" is also only possessed by the Demon Clan, and it is recorded in the Taiyi True Scripture that it is the Demon Qi of Evil Spirit, so if he guessed correctly, this should be an alchemy used by the people of the ancient Demon Clan to cultivate.
The main reason why he decided to give up cultivating this exercise was because it was repeatedly emphasized in the exercise that in order to practice this exercise, it was necessary to cultivate the divine consciousness extremely strong, and there must be a large number of human races, demon races or other high-IQ alien races to perform blood sacrifices to practice.
To cultivate this kind of alchemy, the number of soul spirits is quite amazing, Qin Xin roughly calculated according to the method in the book, if you want to practice this kind of exercise, only the first layer requires no less than tens of thousands of souls to come to the blood sacrifice, which also specifically states that the lower the IQ of the soul, the more the number of souls needs to be.
Low-IQ souls like pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks are not useful at all, so if you want to have the souls of tens of thousands of living beings, you can't do it unless you do something to slaughter the city and destroy the country.
And there are nine layers of this set of exercises, and the number of souls required for each level has to be doubled, no wonder I heard that the demon people like to eat the souls of other races, it turns out that it is because of the needs of the exercises.
Judging from the introduction of the first half of the exercises, the cultivation of this kind of alchemy is also extremely difficult, not to mention that the pain of the Guangyi Ching is very bearable.
It is said that this kind of exercise, every time you cultivate into a layer, you can greatly strengthen your own muscles and veins and bones, even if you cultivate your body to be harder than iron, it is also very possible.
These supernatural powers are nice to say, but not to mention anything else, as far as the pages of the book are concerned, it seems that there are only the first few layers of exercises, and with so many harsh conditions, it is impossible for me to cultivate the exercises in this book.
It seems that the shopkeeper still really understands this kind of ancient writing, he must have also studied the exercises on it, no wonder he happened to close the book when he was halfway through it, it turned out that he already knew the content of the second half of the book, the conditions in which it was harsh, and it was impossible to practice at all.
With such a broken book, he dared to ask for three hundred low-level spirit stones with one mouth, but he was really a big profiteer.
Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly, and only spent ten low-level spirit stones, otherwise he would really have to be slaughtered by him.
Ten low-level spirit stones bought a useless broken book, although it was not angry, but it was acceptable, just spend ten low-level spirit stones to buy a lesson.
Thinking of this, he really wanted to tear this book apart immediately to vent the unhappiness in his heart, he was not so distressed that the ten low-level spirit stones were distressed, but anyone who saw that his easily obtained hope was instantly shattered, he would be angry.
But when his hands touched the pages of the book, and then saw the ancient characters on the book, he still couldn't bear to tear it apart, sighed lightly, still put the broken book in the storage bag, and then collapsed on the bed and began to sleep with his head covered.
A few days of sleepless and nothing came of it, it did make him feel a little exhausted, tomorrow should be the monthly auction meeting in Falling Star City, he had to take care of it, that was his last hope.
Early the next morning, Qin Xin woke up from his sleep in good spirits, and after leaving the inn, he stopped a beast cart and rushed all the way to the largest auction venue in the center of Falling Star City, the Star Picking Tower.
The Star Picking Tower was built in the very center of Falling Star City, Qin Xin saw a seven-story tall building as soon as he got off the beast car, and when he looked up, it was dozens of zhang high, and it was really a giant in the city.
The red vermilion lacquer gate is a zhang high, and there is a huge plaque of gold lacquer hanging at the top, and the face of the huge plaque is inscribed with three ancient seal characters "Picking Star Tower", these three words are really written with a pen and a snake, flowing water, even if the ink in Qin Xin's stomach is limited, he can't help but secretly praise a "good word".
Look up, the yellow and green glazed eaves, the warped cornices, the four thick pillars that can only be hugged by several people under the eaves, painted with the paint paintings of various exotic beasts, the following is the bluestone steps of the first step of the ruler and the length of the feet, and the two huge stone lions in front of the steps appear to be both majestic and atmospheric.
The whole Xingxing Tower is built in an antique but magnificent manner, which makes people feel awe-inspiring at a glance.
Because today is the day of the auction, the people around the Star Picking Tower are very lively, and there are more than a dozen tall masked monks at the door, standing on both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate, Qin Xin swept it with the spirit observation technique, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, these people are all extraordinary.
He didn't expect that every one of the people watching the gate here would have a cultivation above the Rong Yuan period, so he could imagine how great the strength of the Star Picking Tower was.
Qin Xin secretly observed at the door for a while, and saw that the people who entered the Star Picking Tower were brightly dressed, and their aura was not rich or expensive, except for a few monks with very high cultivation, most of them could only spend some spirit stones to enter it by taking out various colored tokens.
Qin Xin was cautious until he saw a middle-aged monk holding a pitch-black star-picking token and handing over ten low-level spirit stones, swaggering in.
He tidied up his clothes unhurriedly, then walked to Zhu Qi and took out the star-picking token given by Uncle Sun, and paid the entrance fee for ten low-level spirit stones.
"Disciple of the Ten Thousand Methods Sect?" asked the gatekeeper after taking the Star Picking Token and the Spirit Stone, and after carefully examining the token.
"Yes, Senpai. Qin Xin replied, but he secretly wondered in his heart, he obviously didn't wear the water and fire magic clothes for the disciples of the Ten Thousand Methods, how could he see that he was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Methods?
Could it be that there is some mystery in this star-picking token, revealing his identity? However, he is a single person, and it seems that there is nothing to worry about whether he exposes his identity or not.
The big man raised his eyebrows inadvertently, the corners of his veiled mouth curled slightly, a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes, and after a flash of light on his hand, he returned the star picking token to him, and then seemed to be very casual, patted Qin Xin on the body, and said in a deep voice: "Well, there is no problem with the token, you are number two hundred and eighteen, you can go in." ”
I don't know why Qin Xin's body trembled when Dahan's palm slapped on his body, and he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, as if something in Dahan's hand had entered his body.
He was shocked and quickly let go of his divine sense, and looked at himself in his body, but he didn't find anything unusual.
"What's the matter? is there any problem?" the man at the gate asked with concern when he saw that he had not left for a long time.
