232 The Role of the Demon Banner 233 Transactions
Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan returned to Qingwu Immortal City and stayed in a luxury inn in the city.
Ji Yuanzheng and Sun Ruoxiang went back to Penglai Immortal Sect to report the situation in Qingwu Immortal City, leaving only Su Chen and the other two foundation building monks to stay in Qingwu Immortal City to maintain order, waiting for the support of Penglai Immortal Sect to come.
"Brother Zhuang, I'll go back to the room first. You look at this Qingwu Immortal City first, and call me if you have something. ”
Su Chen said to Zhuang Bufan.
"Well, Brother Su is casual, I'm wandering around the city, and nothing should happen!"
Zhuang Bufan smiled and nodded.
The vast majority of Qingwu Immortal City were Qi refining stage cultivators, and the population in the city was more than several thousand, almost all of whom were miners and miners. Life in the city is monotonous, and there is nothing else to do except taverns and green houses.
Out of the Qingwu Immortal City, it is a vast and desolate bitter cold mountain, only the mining caves in the mining area are slightly popular, and there are qi refining monks mining.
...
Su Chen returned to his room, activated the formation light mask, and sat down cross-legged.
He carefully recalled his experience of fighting in the mines. This kind of actual combat experience is very valuable, every battle is a battle of life and death, and the slightest mistake is the end of Wei Zhuo, the young master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect.
He used the Spirit Devouring Flying Ant to deal with the Golden Demon Scorpion, and he won with some luck.
Because the Golden Demon Scorpion is a gold-based demon beast, it has extremely strong combat power in fighting alone, and it has a domineering armor-piercing golden poison needle, and the other foundation building monks are hardly its opponents. But the Golden Demon Scorpion doesn't have group warfare, and it doesn't know how to do it. Unable to deal with this huge colony of thousands of soul-devouring flying ants, they took advantage of the hole in their tails and ate their empty stomachs.
The Soul Devouring Flying Ant can kill the Golden Demon Scorpion, but it may not be able to deal with other Demon Beasts.
In fact, each of them was very weak, not even as good as a first-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and he would die if he pinched it. He had experimented that fire, freezing, and so on could bring fatal damage to the Soul Eater Flying Ants.
If it was a fire-type demon beast, Su Chen wouldn't dare to let the Spirit Devouring Flying Ant send him to death. If burned by fire, it can burn a large number of Soul Devouring Flying Ants.
Su Chen didn't know if he would become more powerful after the Spirit Devouring Flying Ant was promoted. He plans to use the mine here to raise it first, and he can also save a lot of money.
Su Chen recalled several times from beginning to end, the fierce battle process in the mine, and summed up his gains and losses and lessons in this battle. If you encounter such a situation again in the future, you can also know the bottom of your heart.
Then, he took out the wooden gourd and poured out a shining demon banner from it.
On the banner of this demon flag, there is a flame bear, a golden claw eagle, and a golden demon scorpion, which are lifelike, like a living thing, and full of spirituality.
Su Chen's face couldn't help but show joy.
These are the three major harvests he made in the mine - the Demon Banner, the Mysterious Silver Mine, and the entire pair of gold armor materials left by the Golden Demon Scorpion.
This Demon Banner Yuan Divine Artifact is undoubtedly the biggest harvest among them.
This thing can't be refined by a foundation building monk at all, only a Jindan stage monk can refine it, but no Jindan elder will help him refine one.
In other words, if he hadn't obtained this Yuan Shen Artifact from Wei Zhuo, I'm afraid that he would have been unable to obtain the Yuan Shen Artifact before he became a Jindan monk.
And the raw materials of the golden armor left by the golden demon scorpion in the late stage of foundation building are much lower than those of the demon flag. He needed to find a master refiner to refine the golden scorpion armor into a pair of armor.
As for the Mysterious Silver Mine, Su Chen still didn't know the purpose of this thing too well, and the number of Mysterious Silver Ore particles collected was extremely small, so it was useless for the time being.
Only this demon banner is a ready-made magic weapon that can be used in a short time.
It's just that this demon banner is very resistant to his divine thoughts and mana, and does not obey his drive.
And Su Chen still doesn't understand what this demon flag magic weapon is for, how to use it, and let it obey him.
Su Chen thought that after Wei Zhuo died, he also searched for a Sumeru ring from Wei Zhuo. Hurriedly rummaged through the Sumeru ring to see if he could find something useful.
Soon, he was pleasantly surprised to find a jade slip of "Summoning Demon Flags".
This demon banner is a new Yuan Shen magic weapon prepared by the current sect master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect for Wei Zhuo of the Young Sect, and this jade slip is also used to facilitate Wei Zhuo's cultivation of this flag.
On this jade slip, there are many detailed introductions to the role of the demon banner and the method of manipulation.
This demon banner magic weapon is quite magical, and it is a natural growth magic weapon. It's not like a flying sword artifact, which is a one-time refining artifact, and once it's formed, its power is fixed.
The demon banner can continuously absorb the primordial spirit of the demon beast, so as to become more powerful.
The higher the level and the greater the number of primordial gods that absorb demon beasts, the stronger the power of the demon flag, which will bring a strong deterrent to wild monsters and domesticated demon beasts, and form the first role of the demon banner - demon summoning.
Once you have collected all ten Tsuki-based Demon Beasts, the power of the Demon Banner will be doubled, and you can start "Summoning Demons".
Of course, at this time, the probability of success in recruiting demons is not very high, it depends on the strength of the demon beasts, and low-level demon beasts are easy to be recruited.
Once this Demon Banner collects a hundred primordial gods of demon beasts in the foundation building period and reaches the peak power of this demon flag, it can deter all wild demon beasts and domesticated spirit beasts in the foundation building realm, and unconditionally order them to obey the orders of the demon banner and become the master of the demon beasts in the foundation building period.
Even if it is a wild demon beast, or even a demon beast domesticated by the enemy, the monk can subdue it with the power of this demon flag, and even control the demon beast to injure its owner.
This is a unique magic weapon that the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect regards as a treasure, and it is extremely powerful. Often, only Jindan monks would refine this magic weapon.
Of course, it is also difficult to refine successfully.
If you want to collect a hundred primordial gods of foundation-building demon beasts, it's not easy. A foundation-building demon beast often takes hundreds of years to cultivate, and it is not easy to hunt one.
If this Demon Banner Yuan Shen Artifact once a hundred foundation building period demon beasts were collected, as soon as the magic flag came out, the golden demon scorpion of the bewitching young woman would immediately see the banner and surrender, and there was no need to capture or kill it at all.
Even if the bewitching young woman has a demon exorcism bell in her hand, she is powerless to return to the sky.
In addition to "summoning demons", this demon banner also has a second role "Yuan Shen Detonation", which is to directly release the demon beast Yuan Shen in the banner and explode the opponent in a self-detonation way.
Once the Demon Banner has collected a large number of Demon Beast Primordial Gods, this effect is undoubtedly even more terrifying, and it is simply a one-sided lore for other foundation building monks.
Which Zhuji monk can withstand the bombardment of so many demon beast primordial gods?! I'm afraid that the Jindan monk will change color when he hears it and hide far away.
However, the primordial god who released the demon beast, this demon banner is not powerful, and it needs to be collected again. It's too much of a drain.
Therefore, the demon banner is generally only used for the first purpose of summoning demons, and will not use this second effect.
Wei Zhuo had already used this primordial magic weapon to summon the demon flag, killing two foundation building period demon beasts, a flame demon bear, and a golden-clawed eagle. In addition, the newly collected Golden Demon Scorpion's Yuan Shen is the third Demon Beast Yuan God in the foundation building period.
After reading the detailed introduction of this primordial god artifact on the jade slip of "Summoning Demon Flags", Su Chen couldn't help but be shocked.
The growth potential of this demon banner is so great!
Fortunately, Wei Zhuo had not been able to obtain this Yuan Shen artifact for a long time, and he had not yet raised the level of this demon flag. Otherwise, the foundation building monks and golden demon scorpions in this mine cave would not be enough for him to kill alone.
On the jade slip, there is also a simple explanation of the use of the Yuan Shen magic weapon.
Once the Yuan Shen magic weapon leaves the monk's qi and blood, divine thoughts, and mana imprint, it will recognize the master, unlike ordinary magic weapons, which can be easily used by other monks.
It's hard to want to change owners.
There is only one way, and that is to keep using your own qi and blood, divine thoughts, and mana to cleanse until you completely erase the traces left by the previous monk.
And this will take a long time, at least a few months to take effect.
"I see!"
Su Chen nodded slightly, bit his fingers, and dripped some qi and blood on the demon flag. For a few months, it wasn't a problem for him.
...
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door outside the wing.
Su Chen used the wooden gourd to collect the demon flag, got up and opened the door, but saw that it was Zhuang Bufan who came to find him.
"Brother Su, I walked around Qingwu City just now. I found that there is a big benefit, I wonder if you would like to do it together?"
Zhuang Bufan smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, what's the benefit?"
Su Chen couldn't help but wonder.
"The city lord of Qingwu City is dead, and the news can't be hidden, and it has already spread. The large and small immortal cultivators of the Immortal Sect Qingwu Immortal City were preparing to choose a new city lord to come out. In order to compete for the position of the lord of Qingwu City, the families fought fiercely in the open and in secret.
You and I are the only two remaining foundation building monks in Qingwu Immortal City, and they are also disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect. Now we are enough to decide the situation of Qingwu City. As long as there is a slight hint, whoever gives the most benefit will support whom!"
Zhuang Bufan couldn't help laughing.
"Will it be too conspicuous to meddle in the internal affairs of Qingwu Immortal City like this, will the sect agree!"
Su Chen couldn't help frowning slightly.
Knowing the news that Jiang City Lord died in the mine, there were only four people from the Penglai Immortal Sect. And Ji Yuanzheng and Sun Ruoxiang have already left. This news must have been deliberately leaked by Zhuang Bufan.
Zhuang Bufan is under the banner of Penglai Immortal Sect, and he is scavenging a sum of oil and water in this Qingwu Immortal City.
"Senior Brother Ji is back, at least a month later. The big and small families in Qingwu City can't wait that long, they are in a hurry to take the throne immediately!
Each Xiuxian family has one vote to elect the new city lord together. However, many small families are waiting for our Penglai Immortal Sect to make a statement. Whoever our Penglai Immortal Sect supports, who will naturally be able to ascend to the throne.
You know, our cultivation expenses are large, if we don't earn some extra money, where will we have enough, this is a free benefit, you won't push it out, right?"
Zhuang Bufan said with a smile.
Su Chen pondered for a while, acquiesced, and did not object.
Who is the lord of Qingwu City, Penglai Immortal Sect doesn't care too much, as long as he acknowledges Penglai Immortal Sect's control over Qingwu Immortal City, and sells the ore here to Penglai Immortal Sect cheaply.
It doesn't matter if it's surnamed Jiang or Li, who cares!
He has an average relationship with Zhuang Bufan. Zhuang Bufan wants to use this to get a lot of resources for cultivation, if he stops him, I'm afraid he will be evil. Even the harmony on the surface is difficult to maintain.
...
Soon, some family monks from Qingwu City set foot in the luxury inn one after another, took the initiative to bring gifts, and came to visit the two.
Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan, as the immortal envoys of the Penglai Immortal Sect, sat in Qingwu Immortal City on behalf of the sect. The big and small immortal cultivation families, if they want to become the new Qingwu City Lord, without the nod and support of the Penglai Immortal Sect, it is impossible to become a city lord at all.
All the large and small immortal cultivators came to give gifts, and even lined up in a long line at the inn. When they saw each other, they were a little embarrassed, but for the sake of the position of the city lord, they could only be cheeky.
Jiang Yong, the eldest son of the city lord of Jiang, and Jiang Wu, the third son, also came to visit.
Jiang Yong was dressed in white, dressed in linen and filial piety, and humbly met Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan, but his face was sad and angry.
"The Jiang family in Qingwu City, the eldest son Jiang Yong, and the third son Jiang Wu will meet the two Penglai Patrol Immortal Envoys!
Jiang Yong arched his hand and pleaded sadly.
The Jiang family's Xiuxian family is the largest family in Qingwu City. But during this time, too many clansmen of the Jiang family died. Previously, no less than thirty or forty Jiang clansmen had died in the mine.
And this time it was even worse, even the head of the Jiang family died.
Without the pillar of the old city lord Jiang, the strength of the Jiang family has declined greatly. Now the Jiang family is only supported by the eldest Jiang Yong, the third Jiang Wu and a few clansmen.
Jiang Yong and Jiang Wu came to see Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan this time, and gave a generous gift, but they hoped that Penglai Immortal Sect could continue to support the Jiang family.
Su Chen's heart moved, he knew that the Jiang clan had once mined the copper concentrate alone, and there were some mysterious silver mines in his hands.
After the Jiang brothers left the inn.
Su Chen found an excuse to leave the inn, found the Jiang brothers in private, and showed a Zhuji Dan to show his support for Jiang Yong, and promised to let the Jiang family continue to be the lord of this Qingwu City.
However, Chiang wanted to give him a kind of Mithril Ore in exchange for this Tsukidan.
The attraction of Tsukidan to Qi Refining Stage cultivators is unimaginable.
When Jiang Yong and Jiang Wu saw Zhuji Dan, they were trembling with excitement, discussed it, and immediately expressed their willingness to exchange for the mysterious mineral.
Jiang Yong hurried home and took a wooden box of about ten catties of finely crushed Mithril ore, which was the Mithril ore that Jiang had spent ten years to accumulate, and was willing to present it to the Penglai Immortal Patrol Envoy.
In fact, the value of the Mithril ore in this box is far greater than that of a Tsukidan. The old city lord Jiang has always treasured it, and he is ready to change a Jindan Avenue for himself after he has collected enough weight. He never even dared to tell the Jiang clansmen the value of this thing, for fear that the clansmen would also peep at him.
If the old city lord Jiang was still alive, seeing that the two brothers had sold this mysterious silver mine so cheaply, I was afraid that they would vomit blood in anger.
But the Jiang City Lord died, and the Jiang clan was left with a group of Qi Refining Stage cultivators, who couldn't keep this wealth at all. In the event of a sale, it was sold cheaply.
Su Chen couldn't help but be very satisfied, and immediately gave Jiang Yong a Tsukidan in exchange.
Jiang Yong, the boss of the Jiang family, accepted Zhuji Dan, and went back to Jiang's house with Jiang Wu excitedly. It doesn't matter if you can become the lord of Qingwu City. Once the foundation is laid, he will be able to support the Jiang family.
Jiang Wu, the third elder of the Jiang family, saw that Jiang Yong, the eldest of the family, exchanged the family's Mithril for a Tsukidan, but he didn't mention that he also had a share, and couldn't help but be resentful.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Wu sneaked out of Qingwu Immortal City, ran in the desolate place, and headed towards Tianfeng Gorge.
"Bang!"
A flying sword suddenly fell from the sky.
Zhuang Bufan's figure fell on the top of the hill, and looked at Jiang Wu coldly and sneered, "Where are you going?
"Immortal Patrol Envoy spares his life!"
When the third member of the Jiang clan saw the Penglai Immortal Patrol Envoy staring at him, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, and fell to his knees. He shuddered and told him what he had done in private.
The bewitching young woman of the Northern Tianfeng Gorge Demon Alliance secretly contacted him, and he leaked the mysterious and hard things discovered by the Jiang family to the bewitching young woman.
The bewitching young woman had promised that if he could get Mithril or secretly help the Demon Alliance, the Demon Alliance would promise him a Tsukidan.
Jiang Wu didn't want to betray the family originally.
Su Chen gave a Tsukidan and exchanged a box of Mithril Ore from Jiang Yong, the boss of the Jiang family, but he didn't have his share. He couldn't be angry, so he wanted to go to the Demon Alliance to find a bewitching young woman.
When Zhuang Bufan heard that he was going to the Demon Slayer Alliance, he snorted coldly, and slashed Jiang Laosan's head with a sword, taking his life.
"It's strange, how can Su Chen still have a Tsukidan in his hand? He's an alchemy master, but he can't refine Tsukidan... Could it be that Sun Zhen, the Jindan Alchemy Grandmaster, gave it to him?"
Zhuang Bufan was a little puzzled, and the sword went around the Qingwu Immortal City, and found nothing abnormal, so he returned to the Qingwu Immortal City.
It's just that Su Chen's cultivation seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn't dare to provoke Su Chen. Tsukidan wasn't much use to Tsukuji Monk anymore, and he didn't peep into it.
