Standing at the gate of Chaoning City, Su Qi repeatedly compared, and finally had to admit the fact that he had taken the wrong path.

Su Qi threw the map in a huff and decided to go to the city to find a restaurant to comfort his stomach.

Chaoning City is the pass from Qingzhou to Dingzhou, which belongs to the Great Han Dynasty and is also the only subordinate city of the Great Han Dynasty in Qingzhou.

Therefore, not only did it gather merchants from all over the world, but also more than 100,000 soldiers and hundreds of monks were stationed here.

Walking on the streets, Su Qi could feel that the customs and painting styles here were completely different from those of Lin'an City, Chaoning City was even more solemn and indifferent, the fireworks were swallowed up by the soldiers patrolling everywhere, and people were in a hurry and cautious.

There are sixteen towers in the city, which look similar to mortal watchtowers, but at the top there is a large platform with a parapet on which a monk can be seen.

It's another array.

Su Qi carefully observed the direction of the formation and confirmed that it was just a defensive formation used to defend the city.

He picked a restaurant at random, ordered a bowl of noodles, asked for half a catty of cooked beef and a few side dishes of the moment, sat at the door of the street, and looked at the passers-by on the street.

It's not a meal, there are not many people in the restaurant, the food is served quickly, the noodles are packed in a large bowl, the finely chopped green onions are placed, the cooked beef has just been fished out of the pot, steaming, a few kinds of green vegetables Su Qi does not recognize, but it is poured with a thick layer of sauce, refreshing but not fatty.

Su Qi ate two bites, saw the vendor holding a large jar of wine and walked to the corner, looked at it curiously, but saw a bald monk feasting, stepping on the chair with one foot, grasping a bone with his right hand, gnawing on his face full of oil, seeing the vendor coming, he took the wine jar with one hand, sealed it, and didn't need a cup, he raised his head and drank a few big sips.

What a wine and meat monk.

Su Qi ran the aura, and took a closer look, just like him, the Spirit Sea Realm.

Su Qi, who was about to turn around and continue eating, was suddenly stunned.

Across the street, a group of soldiers, with black armor and black guns, and the four men in the middle carried a large box, which was tightly sealed and hurried.

The box shielded his breath, but it couldn't hide his eyes.

There's demonic energy in there.

Su Qi looked down at the fragrant noodles, thought about it, and finally took a sip of the soup, then threw a piece of silver on the table and went out to follow.

He hung far behind the soldiers, and watched them turn around and enter a house with the gate closed.

He stood outside the high wall, searched around, and walked along the mansion for most of the circle, confirming that the demonic qi was on the north side of the mansion, jumped over the wall, avoided several monks from the Spirit Sea Realm, and got into a room.

There was no one in the house, it was a little dim, there were a lot of wooden shelves, and there were all kinds of boxes, it looked like a warehouse, and the box with a demonic spirit was placed at the door.

Su Qi stretched out his hand to open it.

In the box is a half-demon corpse, the head is gone, only the lower half, looking at the fur, it seems to be a deer demon.

The corpse was covered with bite marks, as if it had been bitten to death.

Su Qi frowned, lowered his head and stretched out his hand to flip it over, this demon corpse is still hot, and the demonic aura of the corpse has not dissipated, it seems that he has just died.

"How can there be demons in this place?" Su Qi was a little puzzled.

The birth of a demon is extremely difficult, and there are only two ways, one is to rely on the heavenly essence and earth spirit, or absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and it takes hundreds of thousands of years to give birth to spiritual wisdom and embark on the path of cultivation.

The other is the birth method of most demon races today, in places where the demon energy is abundant, it is bred by the demon energy, and any kind of animal and plant has the opportunity to transform into a demon.

This kind of place is called the Demon Spirit Land, which is extremely rare, and it is usually a place where big demons live or have been buried, such as the Demon Valley outside the Lotus Dock and the Luofeng Slope opposite the Town Demon Pass.

And the place where the demonic energy in the world is most prosperous is the Beiyuan Upside-Down Mountain, where several demon ancestors were born, which is also the holy land of the demon clan today.

This is the reason why it is almost rare to see a little demon in the territory of the human race, there is no demon spirit to conceive, relying on the essence of the sun and the moon, how long does it take to give birth to a demon?

And the half of the demon corpse in front of Su Qi was obviously the Spirit Sea Realm, and it had just been born Lingzhi not long ago, so it stands to reason that it should not appear in the Terran Territory.

Su Qi's curiosity boiled, and he was about to take a closer look when a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

He hurriedly closed the box, held his breath, and hid behind a wooden frame.

"Why did you send this!" the speaker's tone was impatient, obviously very angry.

"There's no way, there's just a problem down there, and I can't deal with it. The tone of the person who answered was helpless.

"What do the people of the Shanshui Sect say?"

"What can you say! Let's get another one. ”

The two men pushed the door in, opened the box and took a few looks.

"Drag it out of the city in the middle of the night and burn it, remember, don't let outsiders touch it. ”

"Yes. ”

After the two left, Su Qi slipped out of the room and returned the same way.

He stood outside the mansion with a uncertain expression.

The people of the Shanshui Sect actually came to Chaoning City, and it seems that this demon corpse has something to do with them.

Su Qi decided to stay and take a look.

He went back to the restaurant, the wine and meat monk had already left, asked Xiao Er for a meal, and inquired about the location of several shops in the city.

After eating and drinking, Su Qi went straight to Wanbaotang in Dongcheng.

This is a chain store, branches all over the five eastern states, last time in Lin'an City Su Qi let them make a lot of money, the loss of the Qi family's vitality was greatly damaged, and this time Su Qi is going to break the bill here.

He bought more than 20 blank rune papers, and chose a high-quality spirit pen, with a slender tip, made of high-quality demon rabbit hair, and used to draw talismans is the best.

The store also sells prepared spirit ink, Su Qi chose a few, and picked a few pieces of good runic jade.

Leaving Wanbaotang, Su Qi found an inn near the house, booked a first-class room, and sat in the room to draw talismans.

This was the first time he had drawn a talisman by hand.

He lightly held the spirit pen and sketched it on the rune paper, and several bottles of spirit ink were lined up in front of the table, with different colors.

Drawing talismans is very particular, and it is a technical job.

The thickness of the formation pattern, the weight of the pen, will affect the strength of the formation, a formation pattern is too thick, the aura contained is too strong, may lead to the formation imbalance, too thin, and may lead to the poor operation of the aura.

A true formation master, every stroke is just right and very coordinated.

In addition, the use of ink is also an art, different spirit ink materials are different, some use demon blood, some use spirit stones, some use all kinds of heaven and earth treasures, and some are simply a mixture of various materials.

Being able to match ink is the basic skill of a formation master, and being able to use ink is an indispensable experience for a formation master.

Different formations use different kinds of spiritual ink, some only use one, and some need to mix several kinds of spiritual ink, the most complex formation Su Qi has ever seen, a full sixty-one kinds of spiritual ink.

The material alone is astronomical.

Therefore, the formation is not a small sect to play, and the money spent on cultivating a formation master is enough to make some small forces feel pain.

Su Qi drew three kinds of spirit runes.

One is used to shield the breath.

One is used to conceal one's figure.

The last one is used for blasting.
