Chapter 146: Plan Ahead
"Dongbo City?"
Chu Yiming fell into deep thought, and said for a long time, "Among the spiritual lands managed by the Chu family, there is such a one, Dongbo City is a small city, but it is not far from your Qianshan Sect, and there is a second-order high-grade spiritual land nearby. I haven't heard anything out of the ordinary. Of course, although the spiritual land is managed by the Chu family, it is mainly managed by Chu Anlan and Chu Yilin, and I have no share. β
"Where did your information come from?"
"A prefecture-level monk of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce. β
"What about others?"
"It's dead. β
β......β
Chu Yiming's eyes jumped obviously, "You have good skills, you really frightened me." He showed a smile of "You are so powerful, you really admire", "If there is really anything special, I can go and see after being promoted to the Xuan level, now this cultivation, and such a sensitive period, it is better to move less." β
"Yes, there is no urgency in this matter. "Jiang Feng just mentioned it, he inquired about this Dongbo City, located three hundred miles west of the three towns of Fuyuan, there is indeed a spiritual land nearby, and the management of the spiritual land should generally be the most rigorous place, even if it is only a second-order, but it should not be easy to mix in, which is not the same as the waste mine of Purple Fire Copper Crystal that has been mined before.
"Do you know what 'pseudo-heaven-level' is?"
"And literally. Chu Yiming explained, "It's fake, but it's different from the fake pill, when you are about to be promoted to the ground level, the fake pill will be condensed in the body, and after the Dan theory is achieved, the fake pill will fade away and condense into the true pill; β
"That is, heaven-level monks, and the number is also limited?"
"Yes. If you can't get the Heavenly Dao, then you can only achieve the pseudo-heaven level, although the strength is far beyond the earth level, but there is still a big gap between it and the real heaven level. β
"It's a bit different from the Terrans. β
"No, the human race is the same, although Yuan Ying does not need to master the way of heaven, but above Yuan Ying, there are 'demi-saints' who need to break through in order to reach a higher realm, but I don't know what is behind it. β
"What conditions do you need to achieve at that level?" is just an introduction, and it shouldn't hinder Chu Yiming's avenue.
β...... Don't look at me, although I have been at the prefecture level for many years, it is only the strength of the initial stage, and in the classics of the Mingcang faction, there are no books that can help achieve the Yuan Infant, let alone the heaven level of the demon clan?"
It seems that you can only cultivate to the ground level step by step, and then study it, think about the cultivation that Chu Yiming once achieved, and I don't know that the mystery is also in common sense.
"In some areas of the canyon, you can't use spiritual power, and you may break it with a spirit beast to detect, is that what this sentence says?"
"Yes. Jiang Feng recalled the contents of the jade slip, and it was true.
"I guess not literally. Chu Yiming said, "If it is the remnant of a pseudo-heaven-level powerhouse, the internal aura will generally be relatively full, if you choose a place to sit and wait for death, will you choose a place that makes you uncomfortable and cannot use spiritual power?"
"No, it won't. Jiang Feng confessed, in fact, he really hadn't been able to understand the meaning of this sentence thoroughly, but he just wanted to buy a few spirit beasts for backup before going to the ruins, which could be regarded as a rainy day.
"It shows that this pseudo-heaven-level monk, a guy called Venerable Yuan Chu, deliberately left some handiwork before he died. In some areas, special magic weapons are placed, and even the quality of magic weapons is surpassed to form special formations, which greatly weakens the intensity of spiritual energy in the area, causing monks to be unable to recover quickly after exhausting the spiritual power in their bodies, and they will not be able to perform skills frequently, unless you forcibly absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone regardless of the damage to your body. And the reason why spirit beasts are mentioned is because many spirit beasts themselves can rely on brute force to fight, and it is the same with or without aura. β
"I see. "If Jiang Feng has realized, it seems that in the canyon ruins, he must be cautious and keep the spiritual power in his body full at all times, although he can crack it through the spirit beast substitution method, but now he can replenish the powerful spirit beast, and when the domestication is completed, he will have already missed the opening time of the ruins, which is completely different from what he originally thought, the idea of needing spirit beasts to explore the way.
"There are two questions that arise: first, why did Venerable Yuan Chu do this, and second, how can he avoid being affected?"
"It can't be to prevent future generations from exploring, right?" Jiang Feng had this conjecture and said it directly.
"That's right, it's not right, you mentioned, the three ancient demons, the ancient demons I have heard, more than two thousand to a thousand years ago, the demon clan advocated devouring each other's cultivation, and the number of ancient demons decreased sharply, until it was almost endangered. There is an advantage to absorption, which is to improve quickly, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, after the death of the body, some of the ancient demons that have been absorbed will be precipitated from the body and have a chance to be resurrected, or borrowed to be reborn. β
Hearing this, Jiang Feng's heart suddenly became clear.
This speculation has been fully mutually verified with the Ice Desolation Snow Girl. On the one hand, he was trying to find a way to find the remnants remaining in the ruins to resurrect, and on the other hand, Venerable Yuan Chu was also trying his best to prevent them from being reborn.
I still have to read more, Jiang Feng sighed.
"However, why prevent them from being reborn, since Yuan Chu is dead, what are you doing with so many things after death?"
"The ancient demon is the existence of the earth-level powerhouse, and the strong among them is even closer to the pseudo-heaven level, once resurrected, most of them will disturb the situation, and the current situation is determined by all the heaven-level and semi-saint-level powerhouses, as a pseudo-heaven-level monk, they have the obligation to maintain it. Otherwise, do you think that Yuan Chu would be so easy to get everyone's consent to devouring the three ancient demons during his lifetime? As a cultivation resource, the ancient demons are all cultivated after hundreds or even thousands of years, and the number is limited, not as simple as simply devouring a small demon. β
"Understood, this is the same as the spiritual land, without the consent of the strong, the spiritual land above the third order is occupied, and it is in vain, and you have to spit it out. In this way, Jiang Feng remembered the Northern Sword Gate and the "Washing Sword Valley", and it was estimated that without the endorsement of the strong people of the Qi Kingdom, most of this spiritual land would not be able to be pocketed.
"It's too early to say 'understood', the monks who can achieve the pseudo-heaven level are all human spirits, and their ideas and plans are not something we can simply speculate. Chu Yiming poured a basin of cold water on Jiang Feng, "If you were Yuan Chu, the ancient demons you absorbed would have a chance to be resurrected, then would you be willing to die like that?"
"This ......" made so much sense that Jiang Feng felt speechless.
"The second question doesn't matter, I can help you. Chu Yiming didn't continue to analyze the first question, but changed the topic, his fingers swiped across the storage bag, and an ink-colored long sword was in his hand, which was the one Jiang Feng had seen before.
"Mo Di, this is what I call this sword, a third-order low-grade magic weapon, which I created with my own skills before. β
"Attribute 1 [Ice Element Vortex], release a vortex that is no more than fifty steps away from you, all targets within 100 steps around the vortex will be slowed down and pulled towards the center of the vortex, the closer the distance, the stronger the slowdown and pulling effect;
Attribute 2 [Cold Mantra], the demon beast or spirit beast that is close to you will perceive the meaning of coldness, stay away from you, or generate fear, reduce the will to fight, and the effect is better for the third order and below;
Attribute 3 [Snow Hidden], this sword can freeze the user's spiritual power value eight times, and under the stimulation of the fire spirit stone, feedback to the user, the cooldown time is two hours, each time you need to consume a second-order fire spirit stone, each time you need to feed back one to two times the spiritual power to the user, but every time it is full, it will reduce the upper limit of the spiritual power value that this sword can be filled;
Attribute 4 [Water Enhancement] All water and ice skills are increased by 50%, and this attribute will change according to the monk's law attribute when re-cultivating, and it can also be re-sacrificed at the cost of a 'Earth Spirit Crystal'. β
"Among them, [Snow Hide] seems to be the most suitable for use in canyon ruins where the aura is thin and the use of skills is limited, you can use it, and then return it to me when it comes out. β
"Then what should you do? And once the sacrifice is refined, the attribute of the [Water System Enhancement] will definitely change. Thinking of this "Modi", Chu Yiming worked hard to create it, for its most important fourth attribute, I don't know how much it took to do it, and now if I lend it to myself, it will definitely be erased.
"I can't use this level of magic weapon at all now, don't forget, I'm only at the spirit level. Of course, there is another point, although my law is still 'Ice Slashing Blade', the skills that I naturally comprehend now are different from before. β
Chu Yiming was a little sad when he said this, presumably the spirit-level skills that were naturally awakened did not meet his expectations, "I used to complain that I had poor qualifications and had no money to buy skill books, but fortunately, the skills can be learned casually, but now it's good, the skills are naturally awakened, but unfortunately I can't choose them myself." β
"Forget it, maybe it's a good thing. He reassured himself.
Both of them understand this change, Chu Yiming's body is a human race, and the skills can be learned casually, but there is no spirit stone, and now as a demon clan, the skill will be born to comprehend one at each stage, but there is no choice. His troubles are unimaginable to ordinary people.
"What if I die in the valley?"
"Compared to a friend, what is a sword?" Take it!" Chu Yiming was angry, "Can't you see this thing?"
............
Chixia Gate, Radiant City.
It's a bit stuffy in the silence of the room, but it's just two of you.
"Dugu, have you found a way to find out those few people who are still secretly communicating with Luoyingmen and the Jincheng faction?"
"It's all here. The black-robed man handed over a roster, "It's just that if you act rashly to get rid of them, it will affect your reputation, and not all of them have conclusive evidence." β
"It doesn't matter. Zeng Baoxian folded up the roster, "There are no powerful characters on the left and right, so it's good to assign a few of them and their disciples to the Qianshan Sect and the Hanshan Sect." It is also excellent to explore the way and make the best use of things. Especially the Asa Mountain Sect, the intelligence shows that Jiang Feng may also go to the Fury Wind Canyon, I think I can give him a surprise. β
"Boss, it's better to kill him directly, he's just a Xuan-level. β
"No, before we can justifiably get the Asa Mountain Sect, there is still a need for someone to guard it for us, but it must be weak enough, weak enough that we can easily swallow it. β
"Understood, I'll arrange this right away. It's just that there may be some collusion between the few of them, will they communicate with each other and realize that this is a trap?"
If they can really succeed, it will not be a trap, but a wealth of getting ahead. Having said that, our westward expansion plan must be restarted as soon as possible, and for so many years, those few shadows laid by Lizong and Yufeng Sect must move quickly. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of this canyon ruin, perhaps something should have been done a long time ago. β
"Yes, that's it. β
"Put this painting away. β
Zeng Baoxian pointed to the "Spring and Autumn Eternal Drunk" behind him, "Although you and I have explored some secrets, it can only show that the key to the matter lies in a certain place in the west, and how far away it is, we have to think again, but we need to rule out the possibility of Yanqiling's hometown first." β
"Yes!"
............
Yu Xiaozheng is practicing calligraphy at home, this is one of his hobbies recently "dyed", since serving as the deputy head of the 'puzzle brigade', he usually also needs to deal with some official documents, like messy words, so he faintly feels a little unclassy, so he found a few notebooks, often practice hard in his spare time, to talk about the things on the cultivation, compared to the interesting 'puzzle brigade', not only boring, but also too hard, of course, compared to running a shop, the brigade is still almost interesting.
"Yu Tuan, someone is looking for you. β
A slightly obese guy came running over, in fact, this person was transferred by him from the shop, specifically to help him with the chores of the 'puzzle brigade', which can be regarded as "private for public use", as a responsible "deputy commander", he is willing to do this kind of thing.
"Let him in. β
Soon, a slightly thin young man was brought in, with a fair face, slightly narrow shoulders, and his hair tied in one place, tied in the shape of a common ear of wheat.
Why do you seem to have seen it somewhere? This was Yu Xiaozheng's first feeling.
"Hello Captain Yu. The young man said politely, "There is an investigation, I don't know if you dare to take over?"
"What do you mean by dare?"
Yu Xiaozheng was unhappy, "In this Lizong, there is nothing that our 'Puzzle Brigade' dare not take over, but we charge very expensive fees for private entrustment." β
"The cost is not a problem. The young man pulled out a turquoise ring.
"Third-order magic weapon?"
Yu Xiaozheng picked it up and looked at it for a while, although the attributes were unknown, he could see that the grade was not low, and it should be the appearance of a third-order middle grade or a top grade.
"The attributes are on this piece of paper, you can go to the Duobao Pavilion to check it at any time. β
"Okay!" Yu Xiaozheng took it, just a few glances, and it was confirmed that this thing was worth a lot, according to the rules of the brigade, whoever received the order had the right to share one-fifth of the income, which was also a good income, not to mention that as the deputy head of the regiment, at the end of the year, he could also get three percent of the final annual income.
In fact, Yu Xiaozheng didn't care much about the spirit stone, he cared about this sense of achievement. However, this ring is indeed a good thing, if you can find a way to come out of the spirit stone plate, in the magic weapon below the magic weapon level, it is a good treasure of the town store, maybe it can be placed in the "Black Donkey Zhang" Dayi County branch to decorate the faΓ§ade.
"What do you want to look up?"
"One thing about the Full Moon Tower. β
Yu Xiaozheng was obviously stunned for a moment, he knew the Full Moon Tower, and he probably knew who was behind it, but if he didn't dare to move, it was impossible, but if he moved, it would be very troublesome. However, there are still a few "gentlemen" with quite a background in the 'Puzzle Brigade', so maybe you can win them over and investigate together.
"I can accept your request, but it will take two days for me. Yu Xiaozheng decided to explore the tone of a few "gentlemen" before making a decision, "If you believe me, you can tell me the detailed needs first." β
............
Jiang Feng finally took the "Mo Di" that Chu Yiming lent to him, he was still quite grateful for this friendship, although Chu Yiming said that his cultivation could not be used, which was true, but if he could lend himself the best thing at the moment, it was definitely a true friend.
White prostitution, it seems that it is about to become history, he sighed.
Two hours later, the headwind Ruyi flying boat was already in the sky above Donghu County, flying towards Luochuan, Jiang Feng did not plan to stay here, but wanted to go straight to Dayi County, quickly help Zheng Keyi solve the problem of law, and then wait for the news of the members of the "gray clothes" team, if things are not good, then find a way to sell the extra tokens, it is really not good, you can also anonymously auction in the auction house of Yujia Dayi County, it's just such a hot thing, if only a Xuan-level town store, whether they dare to take it or not is a problem.
Luo Chuan has long been left behind, Jiang Chengzi is already quite familiar with the helm, there is no need for Jiang Feng to pay extra attention, it is good to have an apprentice, Jiang Feng sat cross-legged and breathed, and sighed while refining the Modi long sword.
I don't know what attributes will change when I sacrifice and refine, [Water System Enhancement] will change, he is not like Chu Yiming before, he can't take out the "Earth Spirit Crystal" to refine repeatedly, this special material generally comes from the veins of the third-order spiritual land or above, and the value is about fifty second-order.
He didn't know that at this moment, Luo Chuan came to two uninvited guests.
