Chapter 17: The Beginning of the Demon Codex

After Dugu Yangming walked out of the Tianqi Palace, he walked straight to the left and reached a fork in the road. The fork in the road, at a right angle, one diagonally up and one diagonally downward. After a short pause, head towards the upward one. Along the way, the whole heart is full of things, and it seems that he has been thinking about something.

When he came to the door of the Beastmaster's Hall, he heard someone playing with pets inside. After deliberately snorting lightly, he lifted the bead curtain and walked in gently.

"Hey, isn't this Dugu Yangming? What kind of wind blew you to our Beast King Palace?"

"Ah, the Beast King Palace, it's yours, that's amazing!" After a pause, he said solemnly: "Come here today, I have something to consult with the senior brother of the Beast Hall." I don't think you're particularly good at it, can you ask a senior brother to come out?"

"Dugu Yangming, you are too arrogant, it is not easy to look down on me so much? What good young beast do you have, even if you take it out, if I can't see the reason, I will personally call Senior Brother Su for you!"

Dugu Yangming smiled "hehe", took out a beast cage from his arms, pointed to the nameless egg with growing cracks, and asked, "Senior Brother Qian, do you say this is a bird egg, or what kind of egg?"

Qian Buyi looked at it for a while, frowned and replied: "This must be a bird's egg! Moreover, depending on the degree of cracking, it should be about to hatch! We have excellent poultry spirit food here, how much do you want?"

"Senior Brother Qian, if it's a fowl, isn't it the first to come out? This crack has been going on for three days, and it hasn't moved!"

Qian Buyi stood up and exclaimed, "Yes, why am I negligent!" Then he looked at it more carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "This seems to be a reptilian beast egg." But I don't recognize what it is. I'll call Senior Brother Su for you!"

A person in the back hall said slowly: "This is a turtle egg, and it will completely break out of its shell at noon tomorrow." Senior Brother Qian, prepare the best young beast spiritual food for Senior Brother Dugu. ”

As soon as Dugu Yangming heard this person's voice, after putting away the beast cage, he whispered to Qian Buyi: "It turns out that which short senior brother is from your beast hall!"

A sharp voice came from the back hall: "Dugu Yangming, you don't let out stinky farts! Your senior brother and my surname are Pengju!

Qian Buyi smiled "hehe", "Senior Brother Dugu, this is the young beast spiritual food you want!

"Why are there so many? won't you slander me again!"

Qian Buyi said solemnly: "This is biased towards you, so it was prepared for you." These were all bought by Senior Brother Xu last time. Today, you should need a large part of it. ”

"You really have a heart! How many spirit crystals do you need?"

"A thousand!"

Dugu Yangming scolded angrily: "You don't toss my spirit crystal, it's uncomfortable, right? The fat man said that the cultivation path on Buzhou Mountain is paved with spirit crystals. How thick the spirit crystal is, how high the cultivation is. At first, I thought that some guy was talking nonsense, but now it seems that it is really true!" Extremely reluctantly, he counted a thousand spirit crystals!

Qian Buyi smiled and said: "You sell elixirs and earn so much from the same family, why don't you say it?"

"Phew, can this be the same? I am taking care of my fellow disciples at a low price, and you are cheating fellow disciples at a high price, which is an unforgivable sin!" When he was about to go out, he turned back and asked, "Excuse me, Optimus Temple, how to go about it?"

"Go out, go to the right, and the first hall of the road that you go up the slope is!"

Dugu Yangming said loudly, "Thank you!" When he walked outside, he said: "Come out of the Tianqi Palace, go to the left, and go up diagonally, and it is the Beast King Palace." Come out of the Beast King Palace, go to the right, and go up diagonally, and you will find the Heavenly Palace. Doesn't this mean that it is at the mercy of the importance of the hall!" Thinking of this, I didn't have the intention to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Buzhou Mountain, so I walked directly towards the Qingtian Temple.

Dugu Yangming came to Buzhou Mountain, not like a prodigal son going home, more like a hurried passerby. For the scenery and buildings along the way, he completely ignored it, and only cared about the road.

When I arrived at the Heavenly Palace, it was already more than halfway through.

In the Qingtian Hall, the three female disciples were whispering earnestly, and one of them had no intention of looking up, and said loudly, "This junior brother, when did you come in?"

"Hmph, you people who don't do your job, do you still deserve to ask me? I came here this time to find the elder who is in charge of your Dantang. Don't talk nonsense with me, don't talk nonsense with me, go and ask the elders to come out, I have something important to discuss. ”

An older girl said: "Listening to this tone, it seems that it is Dugu Yangming! Senior Sister Min, you go and inform Senior Brother Xian, just say which little gangster is coming." ”

The girl said helplessly: "Okay, Senior Sister Yu!" glanced at the young man who was wearing clothes backwards, and walked away in disgust.

The remaining two began to chat casually again, and Dugu Yangming just looked at the top of the hall and didn't say a word.

Before that, a burst of medicinal fragrance came, and a beautiful man in a dark blue robe walked out of the back hall. This person was none other than Yuwen Yixian, the first disciple of the Dan Hall, and said angrily to Dugu Yangming: "Stinky boy, don't you know that this time is the best time for alchemy?

Dugu Yangming stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Oh! Senior Brother Immortal is so wonderful, all the senior sisters are really blessed!" Without waiting for others to attack, he hurriedly added: "I came here today just to consult, what kind of pills in the sect can be freely sold in Juancheng?"

Yuwen Yixian said lightly: "You stinky boy, in the future, you will have to keep your mouth shut and see how I clean you up! As for what you said, it's easy to say!" turned back to a woman and ordered: "Senior Sister Yu, take that Dan book to this stinky boy." ”

The girl surnamed Yu shook her hand violently, threw the five-page thick booklet over, and after Dugu Yangming took it steadily, Yuwen Yixian said again: "All the elixirs on this are not restricted." You can refine and sell it at will. However, if there is any new creation, it still needs to be verified and confirmed by Dantang before deciding. ”

Dugu Yangming also knew that this matter was important, and the True Martial Hall was already weaker than the other eleven major factions in terms of alchemy. Therefore, this matter is indeed not a joke on his own, and after watching it carefully, he asked: "How many spirit crystals are these seven first-grade spirit pills and three second-grade spirit pills worth?"

The girl surnamed Yu said coldly: "Six hundred!"

Dugu Yangming knew that people hated him very much, and he didn't talk much, so after paying the spirit crystal, he grabbed the door and left.

The girl surnamed Yu saw him go out, and said: "Senior Brother Xian, why do you connive at this person so much? This person is lawless and uneducated, and he will definitely corrupt the master in the future." Senior Brother Xu is also exactly right, and he will not leave him on Kaizheng Island. ”

"Hehe! Recklessly, the true character of the hero is revealed, and it is reasonable to be quite reckless. Among the disciples of our generation, apart from me, his alchemy talent is unmatched. What's more, in terms of comprehension alone, I am not as good as that! I think that in less than three years, he will be the most famous disciple of the True Martial Hall outside of the nine of us. After that, the few of you combined, you can't catch up. Senior Sister Yu, recently, you have also stepped up refining some pills. The training itinerary of the sect has been decided. In three months, the elixir reserves of the Heavenly Palace may be far from enough. ”

In other words, after Dugu Yangming walked out of the main hall, he was thinking about the 3,600 spirit crystals that had been spent, how could he still be in the mood to enjoy the scenery. Walking like flying, returning the same way, when passing through the mountain pass leading to the Meridian Valley, he suddenly woke up and said: "It turns out that these halls are at the same height of Buzhou Mountain, why do they walk around and have such a clear sense of going up and down the mountain?

didn't stay long, trotted all the way, and returned to his cave. As he pulled out his belongings, he heard the sucking sound of "chirp, chirp". Following the prestige, I saw a spirit beast with a red body, as if it was chewing something. Then, he saw two stones on the ground that had no spiritual energy, picked them up, and said to himself, "When did I throw the spirit crystals that I used up for cultivation on the ground?"

The doubts in his heart rose sharply, and he looked at his jade bed, and said strangely: "Didn't I put eight spirit crystals here? Why are there only five left now?" I saw that the guy was sucking hard, and his eyes were still looking at himself from time to time.

Dugu Yangming's heart moved, picked up the little guy, and stared straight at it. In an hour, one man and one beast, one quietly watching, one sucking. When the spirit beast spit out the spirit crystal, Dugu Yangming was puzzled and said softly: "How can this be? You beast clans, can you directly devour the spiritual power in the spirit crystal? If that's the case, then it's worth it!"

After thinking about it, "That's right! The True Dragon Master Ancestor fought the Demon for so long! That shows that the cultivation realm of the human race may be difficult to find a balance with the realm of the demon race." If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the demon race's demand for spiritual power is far better than that of the human race! If this is the case, in the case that the human race has not yet discovered the spirit crystal, the beast race relies on its innate advantage to devour the spiritual energy of the sky and absorb the spiritual power of the earth, but it can also explain the heyday of the demon emperor period. ”

Thinking of this, he smiled dumbly, "Take advantage of my existing spirit crystal, let you absorb enough at one time!" Then he put the spirit crystal in his palm in front of the spirit beast. After a few moments, the little creature never stopped sucking.

From this, he thought of the spirit beast whose eyes had just opened, and said in his heart: "The three of you were found from the same place, will you absorb the same spiritual power!"

Thinking of doing it, this is Dugu Yangming's usual style. First put the spirit beast into the cage, and then feed each of the two little ones a spirit crystal, and after a while, they heard the sucking sound of "hiss, hiss".

Dugu Yangming laughed "haha" and said to himself: "I see! Such a simple truth, why haven't I figured it out! It's just that the big guy has three spirit crystals a day, and even if the two little guys have one each, it will take five in total." As for myself, I have to use one every fifteen days. Since then, about 150 pills per month have been fixed. Plus the spirit crystals I use for alchemy. That's a lot of money. ”

Then he blamed himself: "Today's cost is really too much! There are only 2,000 spirit crystals accumulated in the past three years. In the future, I can't say if I can afford to support the three of you. When he got up to make tea, he seemed to think of something, and scolded softly: "Damn, I forgot an unborn one!

Dugu Yangming made a cup of tea and began to look through the contents of the two Taoist booklets.

The rest of the time is nothing.

The next day, when it was almost noon, Dugu Yang stared at the nameless egg with deep cracks. The heart said, "It can't really be a little turtle!"

With a crisp cracking sound, a faint golden light rose from the crack of the turtle egg, and several golden lights shone brightly, opening into a "swastika" symbol. After the eggshell shattered, the golden light disappeared with it, and a small turtle slowly moved a few times, no longer moving.

Dugu Yangming gently held up the little turtle with his left hand, took a spirit crystal with his right hand, and said softly: "I don't believe it, as soon as you are born, you can absorb the spirit crystal!" When he fed it into his mouth, he couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "This is really strange! You four, where are you sacred! No, I have to go to the study hall to see if I can find any clues about you." Otherwise, I'm confused. ”

Dugu Yangming put away the beast cage, took the spirit crystal, and walked quickly towards the Tianqi Palace. This time I went to the Tianqi Palace, but I met a few people who went up the mountain together, and they only said hello vaguely, and left in a hurry.

When I came to the Tianqi Palace, I saw a senior sister with a melon seed face, who was in a daze alone. After hearing the sound of footsteps, he put away his mind and asked lightly: "Dugu Yangming, what are you doing today? What was given to you yesterday is definitely nothing less, and it is all done according to the rules of the sect." ”

Dugu Yang laughed loudly and asked, "Senior sister, I came today just to read a book!"

"What kind of books do you want to read?"

"Hmm! Is there such a book, but it just records all the books related to the beast clan in Hongmeng. Of course, as long as there is a general summary, it is fine, and there is no need to ask for a detailed plot. ”

"I don't know about this! You wait a minute, I'll ask my master!"

Half an hour later, she came out, waved her hand violently, and slammed it down on the counter, sending dust flying. After she took a long breath, she said, "I'm tired to death! I didn't expect that there are still so many of the dust that I cleaned up for a while just now! Senior Brother Dugu, my master said, what you want is probably here." ”

When Dugu Yangming saw this situation, he rushed up angrily and said loudly: "Why is your master so unreliable?

"Hmph! You're right! This dust is 10,000 years old. These dilapidated books were still in the period of the founding father, and after many screenings, they were discarded to the Sea Chart Pavilion. But I can't wronged my master and his old man. As for the title of the book, it seems to be called "The Beginning of the Demon Codex". ”

"Since your master doesn't manage these books and doesn't clean up the dust, how did he know the contents of them?"

"You ......! Do you think the True Martial Palace is a place? Do you think that the people here are all like you? Hmph!"

When Dugu Yangming was about to choke up, she grabbed again: "Stop! I'm not interested in arguing with you! My master said that although the books of the Sea Chart Pavilion have been abandoned for a long time, if you want to read them, the rules are the same as those of the sea of books." Look at an hour, fifty spirit crystals. If you buy it, the price is clearly marked, this book is worth a thousand spirit crystals!" Suddenly chuckled again, and said, "If you don't buy it, it will be more than half an hour by now!

Dugu Yangming smiled bitterly a few times, without saying a word, he generously counted enough for a thousand spirit crystals, and it was too early to mention the book.
