Chapter 5: A Crazy Plan
Chapter 5: A Crazy Plan
The moon stars are scarce.
In the room of Chu Xinghe in the northeast courtyard of Zhennan Palace, the thin window paper was rendered with a faint layer of golden light, which was quite strange at first glance. Fortunately, there are usually no guests visiting this northeastern courtyard, and because it is late at night, no one walks around, but no one is noticed.
Chu Xinghe sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, his hands were sealed, and his forehead was constantly sweating.
The flickering golden light came out of Chu Xinghe's body. He had just swallowed a Qi Refining Pill, and at this moment Chu Xinghe was refining the medicinal power of the Qi Refining Pill. That human-level high-grade Qi Refining Pill contained a huge amount of spiritual energy, if it was refined into Xuan Qi according to the normal method, like Chu Xinghe, who only had a threefold Xuan Qi cultivation, it was very likely that he would directly reach the fifth or sixth level Xuan Qi, which was equivalent to the Triple Xuan Qi that an ordinary Xuan cultivator could only condense after two or three years of cultivation.
But it's a pity that the Xuanli Cyclone in the dantian in Chu Xinghe's body was condensed into a Dragon Ball by the Ancient Dragon Emperor, and he had long since lost his control, and swallowed the whole Qi Refining Pill, and finally refined the medicinal power into Xuanqi, but it was directly absorbed by the Dragon Ball.
After absorbing the majestic Xuan Qi of the Qi Refining Pill, the Dragon Ball shone brightly, and even penetrated Chu Xinghe's body and shone out. If it is seen by people who don't know, they don't think of Chu Xinghe as a monster.
"Hehe, it's finally finished!" After Chu Xinghe refined all the medicinal power of the Qi Refining Pill into Xuan Qi, and then absorbed it by the Dragon Ball, the triumphant voice of the Ancient Dragon Emperor came out: "The Xuan Qi contained in a Qi Refining Pill is enough for you to cultivate for a year, and this time it finally makes up for the loss of your laziness in the past two months!"
"Don't be complacent, you still can't make it with just one Qi Refining Pill!" Although Chu Xinghe had no choice but to help the Ancient Dragon Emperor refine the pill to help it grow, he also knew very well in his heart that the Ancient Dragon Emperor was now sealed in the dantian by himself with a locked dragon array, and it was still ten thousand years earlier if he wanted to break free from this physical body with only a wisp of dragon soul.
"Dragon Descender, your performance today has satisfied the Emperor, and the Emperor has a proposal...... "The Ancient Dragon Emperor said slyly: "You also feel it today, without strength, you will only be bullied, and only the strong can survive in the world of the jungle, presumably as a Dragon Descending Master, you will not understand this truth, right?"
"What do you want to say?" Chu Xinghe vaguely guessed what the Ancient Dragon Emperor wanted to say.
"This emperor wants to join forces with you, you help this emperor cultivate, this emperor promises that no one will dare to bully you from now on!" The domineering voice of the ancient dragon emperor came out: "As long as you help this emperor cultivate the dragon balls into shape, transform into a dragon, and become the reborn body of this emperor, you will always enjoy the protection of this emperor in this life, and under the domineering power of this emperor, you can also become famous and famous!"
"Let go of your fucking stinking fart!" Chu Xinghe couldn't help but scold angrily, he had never scolded and foul-mouthed, he really couldn't hold back when he heard the proposal of the Ancient Dragon Emperor: "You are my three-year-old child, help you cultivate the Dragon Ball into Qi, so that you can make a hole in my stomach for you to break the seal, and then eat me in one bite, right!
"Dragon Descender, don't toast or eat and drink!" "The Ancient Dragon Emperor had no fear: "Don't forget, you have already begged me to help you once today, do you dare to promise that there will be no next time?" or when your life is at stake in the future, you come to ask the emperor again, and the emperor may not help you again!"
"Hmph, don't forget, if this body dies, do you guess that the dragon balls you have worked so hard to condense will be able to be saved? And this time, the souls of you and me and one dragon will be scattered!" Chu Xinghe sneered.
"Well, this negotiation is a break, and the emperor will not force you!" The Ancient Dragon Emperor said coldly: "If you are willing to be a waste spurned by others for the rest of your life, the emperor has nothing to say!"
After speaking, the Ancient Dragon Emperor stopped squeaking, and the dragon balls in the dantian also dimmed. Chu Xinghe sighed, got down from the bed, stretched his sore legs, walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky.
The Ancient Emperor Dragon was right, the Xuanhuang Continent is a world where the weak eat the strong, no, no matter what world it is, as long as there is life, there is no escape from the fate of the jungle. In his previous life, he challenged the Ancient Dragon Emperor in order to refresh the ranking of the "Dragon Descending Spectrum", but in fact, it was just to prove his existence, prove his strength, and prove that he was at the top of the food chain. Chu Xinghe was naturally unwilling, but agreeing to the proposal of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, it was also a dead end, rather than helping to abuse, Chu Xinghe would rather be a waste for the rest of his life and live this life ordinarily.
Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured out two dark green pills, which were the precious human rank Qi Refining Pill.
Looking at the Qi Refining Pill that faintly exuded medicinal qi in his palm, there was a trace of bitterness at the corner of Chu Xinghe's mouth: Now Chu Zongxu and the eldest princess Qin Suyu both thought that there was no problem with their Xuan Li Cyclone, but instead questioned their control of power. The Qi Refining Pill was obtained, but after swallowing it, there was still no improvement, what would this make Chu Zongxu think?
Chu Xinghe shook his head and put the Qi Refining Pill back into the bottle, wondering whether he should tell Chu Zongxu about the mutation of his Xuanli Cyclone into a solid Dragon Ball, maybe this Zhennan King of the Taiyin Dynasty had a way.
But where should this begin, do you want to tell the secret that you have the memories of two lifetimes and the Ancient Dragon Emperor from it?
Chu Xinghe is very contradictory, how to choose? Tomorrow in the face of Chu Zongxu, there must be an explanation.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Chu Xinghe got up early in the morning, and hurriedly left the Zhennan Wangfu regardless of the fact that it was just dawn. After thinking about it all night and not falling asleep, Chu Xinghe was bored, so he wanted to go out for a walk, but before he made up his mind, Chu Xinghe didn't dare to face Chu Zongxu, so he had to choose to escape.
It was still early in the morning, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, except for a few shops and vendors who had risen early and were busy preparing for the new day's business.
Nanjing City, where the Zhennan Palace, is located on the southern border of the Taiyin Dynasty, and is a large city closest to the Nanban Poison Swamp, one of the four major Jedi in the Xuanhuang Continent. Legend has it that there are hundreds of wild tribes in the Nanban Poison Swamp, and there are many ancient monsters infested, choosing people to devour, even the nearest black bone mountain range from Nanjing City is also rampant with monsters, and there are few human traces. This southern barbarian alien race has repeatedly invaded the border areas of the Taiyin Dynasty in the past hundred years, so Chu Zongxu was sent to suppress and seal the southern king.
However, thanks to the frequent occurrence of demon beasts in the Black Bone Mountain Range, the mineral veins, medicinal materials and other resources on the mountain were enriched and prolific, and some powerful Xuan monks formed a team to go up the mountain to collect mineral medicinal materials, and then sold them at a high price in Nanjing, which also gave birth to a road to prosperity.
Most of the large and small markets and auction houses in Nanjing City were built because of this, and gradually, Nanjing City was no longer an important stronghold for simply guarding the border gates, but also a trading city in the south of the Xuanxiu Realm of the Xuanhuang Continent. The Xuan monks traded minerals, medicinal materials, and then there was the energy crystallization of the demon beast - the Xuanli crystal nucleus.
On the Xuanhuang Continent, not only human beings can absorb the aura of heaven and earth to refine the Xuan power, but also demon beasts can do it, and the lifespan of demon beasts is much longer than that of human beings, although the cultivation speed is much slower than that of human beings, but over the years, these demon beasts can also evolve powerful power, and they condensed into energy crystals in their bodies, called Xuanli crystal nuclei. There are six kinds of white, green, blue, purple, red, and gold, and the grades are from low to high, and the degree of preciousness is also extremely strict.
The Xuanli crystal nucleus has a wide range of functions, because it is a simple energy crystal, which contains a mysterious power that is as violent as a beast, and can be refined into Xuanli by Xuan monks with a Xuan array to improve their own cultivation, so it is also called "a gift from heaven". In addition, the Xuanli crystal nucleus can also be used by alchemists as the main material for refining elixirs, refining them into various elixirs, which is even more wonderful. In addition, some refining masters can inlay the Xuanli crystal nucleus on some special weapons Xuanbing, greatly increasing the power of Xuanbing, or attaching some mysterious attribute effects.
All in all, the Xuanli Crystal Nucleus is a gift from heaven to the Xuan Monks. However, it is not easy to obtain the Xuanli Crystal Nucleus, because the demon beast itself can also cultivate the Xuanli, coupled with its extremely long lifespan, it will also form a fierce and powerful existence over time, and it is naturally extremely dangerous to hunt the demon beast.
In response to the strength of the crystal nucleus in the demon beast's body, the Xuan monk divided the demon beast into six levels, namely the earth level, the heaven level, the king level, the immortal level, the holy level, and the Xuan level, and each level was divided into ten levels. Basically, there are only three kinds of demon beasts in the Xuan Realm where mortals live, the earth level, the heaven level and the king level, the strength of a king-level demon beast is already equivalent to the terrifying existence of a Xuan Di master, as for the demon beasts above the immortal level, people have never seen it, and it is only mentioned in the secret books handed down in the Tianxing Realm.
That's something that can only be snooped on after cultivating to the peak realm of the Xuantian Master, breaking through the realm and ascending, so let's not show it for the time being.
It is said that Chu Xinghe walked along the street all the way, and unconsciously came to the big city gate of Nanjing City.
Several guards stationed at the city gate recognized Chu Xinghe and hurriedly came over to salute. Chu Xinghe was bored in his heart, and after thinking about it, he went directly out of Nanjing City, regardless of the dissuasion of the general guarding the city behind him, who shouted and broke his throat, and went straight to the nearest mountain.
Who in Nanjing City doesn't know that this exit from the city gate is a matter of life and death. In addition to the fact that there are demon beasts infesting and hurting people's lives in the Black Bone Mountains, another source of danger is the human beings themselves. The Black Bone Mountains are rich in resources, and it is not impossible that if you are lucky, you can dig up a superb medicinal herb on a cliff, or fall to the bottom of a deep valley to find a rare mystical skill collected by a hidden master.
There is no shortage of greedy people in this Nanjing city who have this kind of luck psychology and take risks to patrol outside the city. And under this Black Bone Mountain Range, as long as it is not in Nanjing City, robbery, plundering and even killing people and looting treasures happen from time to time, and forced by the rampant demon beasts of the Black Bone Mountain Range, the king of Zhennan is also bitter, so he can only turn a blind eye. After all, as long as it does not harm the people in Nanjing, the responsibility is not on the king of Zhennan.
The reason why Chu Xinghe went out of the city was not complicated, he knew that the Xuan Qi in his body would burst out uncontrollably when he was emotional, so what if his life was threatened? Maybe he could force the Ancient Dragon Emperor to voluntarily take action.
A crazy plan gradually took shape in Chu Xinghe's mind: if he couldn't figure out if there was another mystery in his body, then he would directly threaten the Ancient Dragon Emperor with his life to force it to give up the Dragon Ball and turn the Dragon Ball into a Mysterious Power Cyclone again!
Chu Xinghe has already made a choice, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent!
