The next day, dawn.

Two streamers of rainbow light pierced the sky and flew quickly to the south of the Yangtze River.

Su Chen was worried that the remnants of the Demon Demon Alliance were causing chaos in Gusu City and hurting the family of Su Xianfu. He was afraid that something would happen, so he couldn't help but feel like an arrow and wanted to rush back to see the situation.

It's just that the journey to Gusu City is quite long, at least more than a month, even if he is anxious, he can't get there immediately for a while.

Anu knew Su Chen's heavy mood at this time, and almost didn't stop on the way, and went with him in the direction of Jiangnan.

During the flight, Anu Fei was in front to identify the direction, and Su Chen did not waste time, sitting cross-legged on the flying sword, and took the time to study his gains in the demon cave.

The half-zhang large blood crystal, he didn't dare to take it out of the Sumeru ring.

This blood crystal has absorbed the grievances and a large amount of qi and blood of thousands of Qi Refining Mine Slaves, and it has been blooming with blood-colored light, and the blood light is too strong. As soon as it was taken out, a piece of blood light shone for several miles, as if a peerless murderous thing had been born, and it was soul-stirring.

When the corpse is illuminated by this bloody light, it can be resurrected as a vicious wraith.

If mortals saw this blood crystal, they would probably be directly frightened and killed on the spot. Qi refining cultivators who cultivate to a slightly lower realm, and cultivators whose minds are not strong, are easily influenced by it and become a demonized puppet.

This blood crystal is placed in a Sumeru ring, which can barely keep the blood light of the blood crystal from leaking.

Su Chen was even worried that after a long time, even this Sumeru Ring would be infected and demonized by the blood crystal.

Su Chen felt quite tricky with this blood crystal, he didn't know what it was for, and he didn't dare to throw it away in the wild, and the best flying sword couldn't move, so he didn't know how to destroy it.

It can only be placed in the Sumeru Ring for the time being, and see if there is a chance to eliminate the blood evil qi in the blood crystal in the future.

Su Chen continued to look through the boxes of magic secrets from the Demon Cave Treasure House.

The magic secrets in this treasure chest actually have dozens of different magic secrets in it, and the grade is quite high. Some are recorded in jade slips, and some are written in ancient scrolls, which are completely different.

The so-called magic skills are of course much more radical than the exercises of cultivating immortals. Some cultivation and tactics and combat techniques are recorded, which have a quick effect. Of course, there are drawbacks.

However, what Su Chen cared about the most were the two golden turtle shells, which looked ancient and long, as if they had been sealed in dust for a long time, and they looked dull.

He looked through the two golden tortoiseshells.

This pair of golden tortoiseshells is covered with fine cracks, as well as traces of repeated friction by human hands, which may be tens of thousands of years old.

Moreover, it has been held in the hands of many immortal cultivators, and it has been repeatedly examined to make its appearance smooth and translucent. There is no writing on the surface of the turtle shell.

Su Chen pondered for a moment and injected a little mana into the two golden tortoise shells to see if he could reveal the words.

This golden tortoise shell seemed to be alive, and suddenly it was like a large piece of dry earth, hungry and thirsty, and frantically began to absorb the mana in his body.

Su Chen was taken aback, and immediately ate a few second-order spirit peaches to quickly replenish his mana.

As a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, he has a lot of mana.

A huge amount of mana was injected into the tortoise shell, and when it was almost exhausted, the pair of golden tortoise shells finally absorbed the mana, and a small golden word of mosquitoes and flies appeared.

Su Chen couldn't help but look at these words carefully.

I saw that this pair of golden tortoise shells recorded a technique, which was collectively called the "Devouring Yuan Codex".

It is divided into three parts, the upper part is "Devouring Yuan", the middle part is "Devouring Law", and the second part is "Devouring Blood".

"The way of cultivating immortals, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods. Qi and blood are the foundation of the body, mana is the foundation of spells, and vitality is the foundation of the original spirit. Therefore, absorbing qi and blood, extracting mana, and seizing its vitality can all be used as techniques to defeat the enemy. ”

If you just take out the first part of the devouring yuan and the middle part of the devouring method separately, it is the "Soul Devouring Technique", and the next part is the "Blood Demon Skill" exercise, which is the demon path exercise practiced by the master and apprentice of the Demon Demon Alliance, the green-robed old monster and the blood demon.

But what was a little strange about Su Chen was that this pair of golden tortoise shells did not have the demonic aura on the blood demon's body, but instead exuded a pure fairy aura.

"Strange, isn't this a demonic exercise?Why is there no demonic aura?!"

Su Chen wondered in his heart and carefully studied the content of his words.

According to the text, this "Devouring Yuan Codex" was born extremely old, even older than the age of the golden tortoiseshell.

This is a powerful battle method created by the ancient immortals to deal with the rampant demon beasts of the ancients.

In ancient times, the combat power of the human race immortal cultivators was far weaker than that of demon beasts, so they found another way to create this amazing combat method. Even in the face of strong monsters, they can have an advantage.

The human race immortal cultivators rely on this method to kill powerful demon beasts, which is the way of heaven, not the way of demons.

But later, some immortal cultivators used this method to kill human race immortal cultivators and plunder each other's vitality, which caused huge panic and controversy.

No one wants the vitality they have worked so hard to cultivate to be plundered by other monks and once fall to the bottom.

This technique is regarded by many immortal cultivators as the way of evil demons. Later, it fell silent, and the Immortal Sect Righteous Dao Monk almost oblivion. Only a very small number of demon cultivators will cultivate it.

After reading the "Devouring Yuan Codex", Su Chen pondered for a long time.

Putting aside the controversy of immortals and demons, this exercise has some obvious drawbacks.

For example, in the second and middle parts, a large amount of the enemy's qi, blood and mana are absorbed. However, the qi and blood of the immortal cultivator's physical body were originally sufficient, and it could not accommodate too much foreign qi and blood, and once the flesh and blood were drawn, it would swell up and become a monster with a distorted face and body, which was unbearable for most immortal cultivators.

In the first part, absorb the vitality of the enemy's original god, which is slightly better on the surface and will not change the physical body. After all, the sea of consciousness of immortal cultivators is extremely large, enough to hold an infinite amount of vitality.

However, the danger of this first part is a hundred times more dangerous than the second and middle parts.

Because the primordial spirits of immortal cultivators and demon beasts have strong independent consciousness and divine thoughts, when absorbing their vitality, if they are a little careless and absorb the consciousness of the enemy, their own primordial spirits will be confused, and even fall into schizophrenia.

These huge drawbacks also greatly restrict immortal cultivators from cultivating this "Devouring Yuan Codex".

The green-robed old monster is said to have only practiced the "Soul Eater Demon Skill", not the "Blood Demon Skill". Obviously, there are also huge obstacles that cannot be solved.

On the way to Jiangnan, Su Chen spent nearly a month, word by word, carefully pondering this "Devouring Yuan Code".

The progress of his cultivation of "Getaway" over the years has become more and more slow as he stepped into the middle stage of foundation building. If it weren't for eating Taoyao's vitality peaches and a large number of demon snake eggs to replenish vitality, I'm afraid it would take seven or eight years to improve a small level of realm. If you want to cultivate to the peak realm of the late stage of foundation building, it seems to be very long.

This "Yuan Devouring Codex" can devour the yuan, and the cultivation speed is far more than the ancient pure immortal cultivation method like "Getaway".

If you don't want to say that you don't want to, it's obviously false.

If you can absorb the qi and blood of the demon beasts, and even the vitality of the demon beast, and use it for cultivation, you will undoubtedly be able to greatly improve your cultivation progress.

However, Su Chen did not come up with a solution to the drawbacks for a while.

...

Bang!

Bang!

Two sword rays, floating clouds that swept across the sky, flew to the boundary of Gusu County.

"Childe, we have arrived in Gusu County! ”

Anu was pleasantly surprised.

returned to Gusu County, where she grew up since she was a child, and she was naturally very excited to have everything she was familiar with. If she has free time, she also wants to take a stroll through the streets of Gusu City and see the miles of long streets full of flowers.

Su Chen couldn't help but come back to his senses and looked down.

The land on the banks of the Su River is full of fertile fields, and the rice has matured.

The river is busy with large and small merchant ships and fishing boats, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going from north to south. The wharf in Gusu County is moored with a large number of boats, porters and pawns, and vegetable and fishermen.

Dozens of officials carried bangzi to collect taxes at the Ximen Wharf, and a group of unknown gang newcomers and disciples guarded the wharf, viciously collecting protection money from the fishermen and dealers.

It seems that the great drought that broke out five years ago has passed, and there is no sign of the smoke of war on the earth, and the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect has disappeared.

In the past two years, the wind and rain should have been smooth, and these small gangs have prospered again.

According to the intelligence of Penglai Immortal Sect, there are evil demon monks in the Jiangnan area, specializing in low-level qi refining cultivators, and even against mortals.

If there were demonic monks from the Demon Demon Alliance who were secretly haunting, they would not be able to see anything from the prosperous scene outside.

"Let's go back to Zhouzhuang Suxian Mansion directly, and then search all the territory of Gusu to see if there are any ghosts and evil monks lurking. ”

Su Chen groaned.
