Chapter 984: Infiltration
The higher the cultivation level, the longer the stay on Xiyun Island, the more fees need to be paid. After paying a large sum of magic crystals, Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy entered Xiyun Island.
This Xiyun Island is like a microcosm of the Demon Realm, there are all kinds of large and small caves that can be rented on the island, there are dazzling and bustling markets, and it is also a collection of monks from all races in the Demon Realm, including even some strange barbarian or beast monks.
The giant barbarian monks who were as tall as 100 feet, the half-beast monks of different shapes, and the ordinary Terran monks coexisted in the fang market, but they were all in peace, and the monks who were as high as the Demon Body Stage and as low as the Fugue Stage were also mixed together, and they were all complementary and conflicting.
This kind of lively market makes Li Muran quite excited. The monks here come from a variety of sources, and they can buy treasures of various origins in the market. In particular, the various classics should also be relatively comprehensive.
Li Muran bought a large number of classics related to magic patterns in the market. The magic pattern is the same as the Dao pattern of the spirit world, which is essentially a rune that reflects the power of the laws of heaven and earth, but the laws of heaven and earth in the demon world are very different from the spirit world, so there are certain differences in the types of forms of magic patterns.
However, its essence is the same, Li Muran is proficient in the art of talismans, he can draw inferences, as long as he is familiar with these magic patterns, he can quickly draw some high-level demon realm talismans. What's more, he already had some experience with magic talismans similar to the Night Hidden Talisman.
In addition to the Demon Pattern Classics, Li Muran also wanted to find the Dire Clan's exercises and double cultivation exercises to make up for the incompleteness of his own exercises.
It's a pity that there is no complete exercise workshop of the Dire Clan in the market, and the shopkeepers of several classic book shops all say that the Dire Clan is a very mysterious and low-key race in the demon world, rarely communicates with the outside world, and cultivates relatively rare dark attribute exercises, so its exercises are not widely circulated.
However, if Li Muran paid a large price and was willing to wait for decades, the store would be able to contact the bold monk to infiltrate the Dire Clan and steal the complete exercises. Li Muran asked the price curiously, and the store quoted a sky-high price that he couldn't afford at all, so he could only give up.
As for the double cultivation exercises, I have found a lot, but unfortunately, none of these dazzling various double cultivation exercises are particularly suitable for Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy. Because most of the dual cultivation exercises require cultivation as major exercises, in addition to the same mind, the two people who double cultivate also require that their natural qualifications and attributes are almost identical. However, Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy's divine light qualifications are almost opposite, and they are not suitable.
Moreover, it is impossible for the two of them to use the double cultivation technique as their main cultivation method, but they just want to use the double cultivation technique to better display their joint supernatural powers. Therefore, although the two of them have obtained a lot of double cultivation exercises, none of them are enough to satisfy the two of them.
After coming out of several classic shops, the two began to inquire about the news related to the magic dragon fruit.
There was a real ingredient shop that sold dragon fruit, but the price offered by the owner was very high - and it was just a regular dragon fruit.
Li Muran frowned and asked, "The store's asking price is too high, this is just an ordinary magic dragon fruit, and it is not the best magic dragon fruit exclusive to the Dragon Barbarian King, why is the price so high?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The two Daoists don't know, more than a thousand years ago, the price of this magic dragon fruit was indeed not so high, only less than one-third of what it is now. But for more than a thousand years, the magic dragon fruit has always been at this price, and the price in our store is very fair, and the price is never deliberately raised. ”
"Oh?" Li Muran asked curiously, "Why is this? Could it be that in the past thousand years, the production of magic dragon fruit has decreased greatly?"
The so-called scarcity is expensive, and the price of a treasure has increased sharply, either because of a sudden surge in demand, or because the production has been greatly reduced.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Definitely, the output of the magic dragon fruit should not have changed significantly! However, the magic dragon fruit is a specialty of Longman Island, and every Demon Dragon Palace is taken by the monk from the Dragon Island at great risk, so the price remains high. Especially more than a thousand years ago, the Dragon Barbarian King advanced to the Mahayana period, and it was even more dangerous to go to Longman Island to get fruits!"
"In the past, as long as there was a demon body late-stage monk who made a move, even if he couldn't get the demon dragon fruit, he would be able to escape smoothly. Now, even if a monk in the late stage of the demon body sneaks into Longman Island, it is still possible that he will never return, so there are fewer and fewer monks who go to Longman Island to pick up fruits, and there are fewer and fewer demon dragon fruits to take out, and the price is naturally rising!"
"I see!" Li Muran's heart sank, "That Dragon Barbarian King has actually advanced to the Mahayana stage!"
After leaving the material shop, Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy couldn't help but be a little worried, and discussed with the dragon soul.
"In the early stage of Mahayana?" the dragon soul said: "If the old decay cultivation is restored, it is naturally not taken into account, but at this time, it is indeed a little tricky. If you want to completely cover up the aura, ordinary magic dragon fruit is of little use, and it must be the best magic dragon fruit to completely cover the alien aura. After taking the best Demon Dragon Fruit, even if you are a master in the late Mahayana period, you will only be regarded as a Terran monk with the blood of the Demon Dragon. ”
"Without the help of the best magic dragon fruit, ordinary high-level monks may not be able to see any clues, but in the eyes of mid or late Mahayana monks, they will sense that the aura of you and others is a little strange. Under normal circumstances, this kind of cultivation master will naturally not pay attention to you and others, and they will not bother to pay attention to the strange aura of you and others. But in case the other party happens to have doubts about the identity of you and others, this aura is likely to expose the hidden dangers of your origin!"
Li Muran nodded, he and the Thousand Illusion Fairies had a heavy task in the Demon Realm, which involved many high-level monks, and it was very likely that they would deal with the Mahayana Period of the Demon Realm, if the aura was different, it would be easy to arouse suspicion, which was indeed a big trouble.
"In this way, I have to go to this Barbarian Dragon Island!" Li Muran said: "Since this is the case, I will prepare for a while." ”
The dragon soul said: "That's right! Although the cultivation of the two of you is not too high, your strength is quite considerable! With the help of the old decay, even if you are not defeated by a barbarian dragon king of the Mahayana period, the certainty of retreating with your whole body is still not small. What's more, we are all monks who can cast the Demon Dragon Escape or Fire Escape, if we are bent on escaping, it will be difficult for the Barbarian Dragon King to stop it!"
"However, the entry order I am waiting for is only one month, and it is impossible to improve my cultivation or strength too much in a short period of time. Li Muran sighed.
"Not necessarily!" the dragon soul smiled, "The Dire Clan exercises you have cultivated are quite mysterious. At night, the high-ranking Dire monks were like ghosts, haunted and nowhere to be found. On the Xuanbian Continent of the Demon Realm, there is a sect called Tianzhumen, which is very mysterious, but it is actually a high-level killer sect, and there are several big forces behind it. As long as the starting price is paid, they dare to kill anyone, and they can always complete it!"
"In this Tianzhumen, there are also killers with different strengths, the higher the ranking, the stronger the strength, and the higher the price of the shot. As far as the old man knows, one of the top three killers is a monk of the Dire Clan, whose nickname is 'Night Hades', and every time he strikes, he does so at night. Among the targets of his assassination, many of them have cultivation levels comparable to him, or slightly higher than him, but they often don't even know how they died!"
The dragon soul said to Li Muran: "Although you don't have a high-level Dire Clan's exercises, you can use some dark attribute treasures to improve the effect of some Dire Clan's magical powers in a short period of time, so that if we take advantage of the night to break into the Barbarian Dragon Island, it will be easier to succeed." ”
"This is indeed a solution!" Li Muran's heart moved, now that he has come to the Demon Realm, and the types of treasures in this market are quite complete, you can get some dark attribute materials unique to the Demon Realm, whether it is used to refine the night hidden charm, or to refine the night clothes, or to create dark attribute treasures, they all have miraculous effects.
Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy purchased a lot of high-level treasures of the dark attribute in the Fang Market, and these treasures were very expensive, but fortunately, during their time as high priests, they accumulated a lot of magic crystals, and almost all of them were used up at this time.
Although both of them still had a large number of high-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones, as well as some valuable spirit realm treasures, they did not dare to sell them. In the demon world, the net worth of the two is quite shabby.
However, as long as you can steal a few more magic dragon fruits from Brute Dragon Island, these are not a problem. At the price of the magic dragon fruit, selling two at will can make them a lot of money.
Half a month later, Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy were finally ready, and they came to a certain sea area located north of Xiyun Island through the teleportation array on Xiyun Island. Fly from here for another two days to reach Yongman Island.
After nightfall, Li Muran and the Thousand Illusion Fairy each pasted a new night charm and sneaked into Longman Island.
The dragon barbarians are a barbarian race with low intelligence, and still have a tradition of cannibalism. They will take the initiative to attack the monks who pass by nearby, because the flesh of the immortal cultivators is more "delicious". If the monks who broke into the island were found and captured, they would often choose to blow themselves up and die, so as not to be devoured by these dragon barbarians.
Longman Island is not small, and there is no formation isolation around it, but the main entrances and exits are guarded by monks.
These dragon barbarian monks, a body as tall as several zhang, with dragon horns on the head, facial features half dragon and half human, with a long dragon tail behind him, and a layer of fine dragon scales on the surface of his skin, in addition, his body and limbs are very similar to ordinary human beings.
Two dragon barbarian monks were flying back and forth patrolling a certain area of the sea, when suddenly one of them felt a breeze fluttering behind him.
Before he could turn around, suddenly a black shadow appeared behind each of them, and at the same time, a divine light shot out, submerging into their bodies!
The two dragon barbarian monks passed out without saying a word.
