Chapter 21: The Netherworld Cave
Hongwu's spiritual sense is very powerful, and the monks of the Yuan Infant Stage cannot compare with it, perhaps only the masters of the Out-of-Body Stage can match him. Under his precise control, every sword qi shot into the eye sockets of these skeleton beasts, and the sharp and pure sword qi easily shattered their soul fire.
Lu Yi looked at the bones in a daze, he guessed that Hongwu was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, he had also seen the Jindan period monk shoot, the scene was bigger than this, but the control was definitely not as accurate as Hongwu.
"Senior Hong, I only have one Condensing Pill left here, and I can't exchange so many materials." Lu Yi sent the collected materials to Hong Wu and said, this time Hong Wu killed eighty percent of the skeletons, including the bronze-level skeleton snake.
"These materials are of little use to me, do you still have the beads that collect the soul fire?" Hong Wu pointed to the gray bead on Lu Yi's hand and said.
"This is the soul bead, the function is to condense the soul fire into a soul crystal, it is worthless, Senior Hong will give it to you if you need it." Lu Yi handed the soul bead to Hong Wu and said with a smile on his face. Originally, as his identity as an alchemist, even if he met a Jindan stage monk, he didn't have to be so quiet, but he had a faint feeling that befriending the mysterious powerhouse in front of him would definitely not suffer.
Hong Wu took the soul bead and played with it for a while, and then put it into the ring, this soul bead has the quality of a medium-grade magic weapon, the price should not be cheap, Lu Yi must have suffered a loss by exchanging it for those materials.
Hongwu's character is that people respect me a foot, I respect people, Lu Yi is so sensible, he will not let him suffer. took out two Qingling Pills and handed them to Lu Yi, saying, "You have now touched the barrier in the late stage of foundation building, and these two Qingling Pills should be able to help you break through." ”
"Thank you, Senior Hong, for the reward." Lu Yi was overjoyed. Although he is an alchemist, he is only a third-grade Dan master, and he can't refine the fourth-grade Qingling Pill, Hong Wu took out two Qingling Pills at random and gave them away, he is not very rich, then he must be at least a fourth-grade Dan master.
Lu Yi thought about it and took out a jade slip from the storage ring again, and said, "Senior Hong." The younger generation guessed that you should be an alchemist, this is the Dan prescription of the Divine Concentration Pill, which was obtained by the younger generation by chance. I am willing to pay tribute to my predecessors. ”
"Oh?" Hong Wu sank his spiritual sense into the jade slip, and a stream of information came into his mind, which was the Dan recipe and refining method of the Condensing Divine Pill.
There is nothing peculiar about the Danfang, a few flavors of auxiliary medicine plus the main flavor of soul crystals. It was the refining method that caught his attention. The end of this refining method is similar to the condensation method in the refining vessel, although the soul fire can be condensed into a soul crystal, but in the final analysis, the essence is an energy state, and the refining method is similar to the condensation method, it is also natural, thinking about this, Hong Wu couldn't help but sigh: "Ten thousand laws are one, the road is simple!" ”
"This jade slip is quite valuable, and it can't be compared to two Qingling Pills." Hong Wu said. He then took out a bottle of Green Spirit Pill and a bottle of Yun Spirit Pill, as well as a piece of jade talisman. This jade talisman contains a drop of Hongwu's essence blood, and when Lu Yi encounters danger, he can sense it as long as he crushes the jade talisman Hongwu.
"I have something to do, so leave it at that! In addition, with your strength, it is better to stay on the outskirts of the Undead Mountain Range. After Hong Wu finished speaking, his figure disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in a flash.
"Brother Lu, what kind of cultivation is Senior Hong?" Although Du Qiyan's tone was cold, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes, "The sword comes with the wind, and the demon is in the world" This kind of life is what all righteous monks yearn for.
"Senior Hong, I'm afraid it's already past the Jindan stage!" Lu Yi said.
"Beyond the Jindan period, isn't that the Yuan Infant Period? I actually killed the skeleton with the Great Monk of the Yuan Infant Stage today! Xiong Aotian and the three of them were all excited, as if they had received a great honor.
Lu Yi took out one of the Qingling pills and gave them to Du Qiyan, today was his lucky day, and he decided to be generous once, the other three couldn't use such a high-grade pill, so Lu Yi doubled the commission, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
"What may have happened in the Undead Mountain Range, usually you don't see such high-level skeletons in this area, today they are actually all in groups, and now that Senior Hong has left, I'm afraid it will be dangerous for us to stay here any longer, so I decided to go back to Cang Ying City."
Lu Yi said that he had already obtained enough materials to refine several furnaces of Condensing Pill, there was no need to take any more risks, and he had also received a promise, a promise from a Yuan Infant Master to make a move.
The other people were a little apprehensive after what had just happened, and they had long wanted to leave here.
After Hong Wu left, he completely hid his figure, hurried with all his strength, and unconsciously arrived at the depths of the Undead Mountain Range, where the death qi was extremely strong, but it had no effect on Hong Wu, but the transformation of death qi was a little slower than the transformation of spiritual energy.
The more inside, the level of the undead creatures is getting higher and higher, the undead creatures also have the concept of territory, and when encountering more powerful undead creatures, Hongwu generally takes a detour, and there is a magical technique of earth transformation, and entering and exiting the undead mountain range is as simple as his own back garden.
After searching the map for two days, Hongwu finally found the peak marked on the map, however, the undead creatures in this peak are very dense, and there are wizards in and out from time to time, these undead creatures are obviously different from the outside, and the discipline is very strict, like an army.
"How do you dive in without a sound?" These undead creatures will not turn a blind eye to Hong Wu after resuming their breath, as long as Hong Wu appears in front of them, they will definitely be attacked by a group. Stealth techniques don't work here, because wizards and other high-level undead are good at the cultivation of spiritual power, and their induction is very strong, and the death qi here is so strong, Hong Wu is not sure if he can hide from them.
"It seems that the only way to change into their kind is to use the earth to transform!" Hong Wu thought to himself that he was about to transform into a skeleton and blend into this mountain, but after seeing a wandering skeleton approaching and being mercilessly slashed by those high-ranking undead, Hong Wu stopped this thought.
"Kill all of your kind, these undead are so ruthless that it seems that the only way to do this is to become an undead in their system." Hong Wu complained in his heart.
Hong Wu was ready to wait for the rabbit, he turned into a small tree, standing on the path of those wizards after all, after using the breath, no undead would find out about the abnormality of this small tree.
After waiting for a long time, Hong Wu finally waited for a lone wizard, this is a blue-robed wizard, whose strength is equivalent to that of a human Jindan monk.
The blue-robed wizard was dressed in a black robe, making it difficult to see his face, with a blue skull embroidered on his chest, showing his identity as a blue-robed wizard, and holding a skull staff in his hand, and two rubies inlaid in the eye sockets of the human skull, which looked very scary.
The blue-robed wizard walked slowly towards Hongwu's side, not paying attention to a small tree on the side of the road at all, when he walked to Hongwu's transformation into a small tree, two human hands suddenly grew on the trunk, and before the wizard realized it, he pressed his head, and as soon as he vomited his true anger, the head of the blue-robed wizard was burned to ashes by the mixed yuan gang fire that Hongwu vomited
Taking out the soul bead to put away the soul fire of this blue-robed wizard, Hongwu popped out a small cloud of mixed Yuan Gang fire and burned this blue-robed wizard to ashes.
Carefully feeling the fluctuations of the soul fire of this blue-robed wizard, Hong Wu's body slowly began to change, he didn't see the appearance of this wizard, so he only changed his breath, and then made himself thinner, anyway, wearing this black robe, no one could see his appearance.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of other wizards in the mountain, Hong Wu waited outside for an hour before walking to the peak, only to find that there was a huge cave on the mountain wall, and the mouth of the cave was covered with dense vines, covering the cave tightly, and there were two rows of skeleton guards at the entrance of the cave, these skeletons were all black, much stronger than the black iron skeleton that Hong Wu encountered, and it should be the elite of the black iron skeleton.
Seeing Hong Wu coming after the change, these black iron skeleton elites all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Hong Wu, but they saved him a lot of trouble. (To be continued......)
