Chapter 973: Dragon Spirit Formula
On a steep mountain peak with rocky rocks, dozens of demonic monks gathered here.
Some of these people were tall and strong, with thick iron armor on their bodies, while others were wrapped in a circle of blazing flames, which made people dare not approach. They were the monks of the three major demon clans of Yanlong Island, and at this time, they were divided into three camps according to their different races, facing each other.
Beside them, the monks, there was a teleportation light curtain, glowing with a faint black light. Occasionally, monks flew out of the curtain of light and returned to their respective demon ranks.
A strong man in silver armor from the early stage of the demon body of the Dragon Spirit Clan looked up at the dark golden sun in the sky, and said loudly: "It's almost time, everything that should come out has already come out, don't wait any longer!"
"There's really no need to wait any longer!" a lean old man from the Soul Eater chimed in, "It's not surprising that there are always a few candidate priests who fail to complete their tasks or die in the Valley of the Ancestral Tomb by accident!"
"Fellow Yanfeng Daoist, what do you think?" the old man asked a middle-aged man from the Extreme Flame Clan, who was a demonic flame protector.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Since both of you have said so, you have no opinion below! ”
With that, each of the three took out a magic disk, and then punched in a magic trick at the same time.
Three different strands of demonic light converged into the teleportation light curtain, and the latter burst open with a "bang", turning into wisps of black qi and dispersing into nothingness.
"Good luck this time! Six of my clan's priest candidates have completed their mission and found the Dragon's Blood Grass. The dragon spirit clan man looked at the few monks behind him and nodded with satisfaction.
In contrast, the Soul Eater Clan and the Extreme Flame Clan had only four monks who had found the ambergris and dragon flame fruit they needed in the Dragon Ancestor Tomb Valley.
These treasures are all special products in this forbidden land, and only when these candidate demon cultivators of the Yuan Shen Stage find these treasures can they complete their respective sacrificial ceremonies and become real priests among the various clans.
"Farewell!" the Great Han saluted the Demon Cultivators of the Extreme Flame Clan and the Soul Eater Clan, and then flew away with his companions with these candidate priests of the Dragon Spirit Clan.
One of the candidate priests of the Dragonspirit Clan glanced at a monk of the Extreme Flame Demon Clan a few more times as he left.
He was none other than Li Muran, who was disguised as a Yuanshen Stage monk of the Dragon Luo Clan, and blended in, but the surrounding monks did not notice it in the slightest. Even more clever was the Thousand Illusion Fairy, who turned into a demon cultivator of the Extreme Flame Demon Clan, and no one noticed anything abnormal.
Li Muran himself also has the blood of the Demon Dragon, and he disguises himself as a monk of the Dragon Spirit Clan, which has certain advantages, so it is difficult to distinguish. He was originally worried that the identity of the Thousand Illusion Fairy would be exposed, but at this time, he saw that the demon cultivators did not have the slightest suspicion, and he couldn't help but appreciate the illusion of the Thousand Illusion Fairy.
After he and the Thousand Illusion Fairy decided to disguise themselves as demon monks, they found the dragon blood grass and other treasures they needed in the valley, and then left the forbidden land and blended into their respective demon clans.
"Take care, if there is any accident, leave immediately!" Li Muran exhorted the Thousand Illusion Fairy, and then left here with the other Dragon Spirit Clan monks.
Not long after, he followed the group to a misty valley with many tall and unusual stone halls. Although the surface of these stone halls looks very rough, and the boulders used are of different specifications and have not been carefully polished, they give people a rough and magnificent feeling.
This is the main gathering place of the Dragonsoul Clan. The territory of the Dragonsoul Clan is on the west side of Longyan Island, the Extreme Flame Clan is mainly concentrated in the south of the island, and the Soul Eater Demon Clan is in the north. The valley surrounded by the peaks to the east was the forbidden land jointly ruled by the three clans, that is, the Dragon Ancestor Tomb Valley where they had left earlier.
There were already quite a few Dragons waiting for them here. In front of the oldest stone temple square, a large number of dragon spirit monks gathered, and the utensils used in various festivals were all accurate and complete.
As soon as Li Muran and the others arrived, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.
Li Muran knew some relevant information about the dragon spirit monk when he searched for the gods before, so he was not particularly surprised, he quietly followed the other candidate priests, and stood on the ancestor worship platform according to the arrangement of the festival.
Presiding over the ceremony was the young patriarch of the Dragon Spirit Clan, a middle-aged man with a figure of more than two feet, who was half-naked and his upper body, revealing a strong body densely covered with black dragon scales. His aura is also quite powerful, and he has a mid-stage cultivation of the demon body.
The young patriarch said: "Worship the ancestors, take the dragon blood grass you got from the forbidden land, and you will be the real priest from now on!"
Next, the solemn sacrificial ceremony begins. Li Muran and the others offered the dragon blood grass they got from the valley, and an old man of the dragon spirit clan was responsible for mashing them, mixing them with the wine of the dragon spirit clan, as well as several treasures such as "dragon blood", to make bowls of "dragon spirit wine", for Li Muran and the others to take.
Li Muran found that in this bowl of blood-colored dragon spirit wine, in addition to containing pure demonic energy, there was also a good demonic dragon bloodline. He followed the example of other demon cultivators, drank this wine in one go, and then found an opportunity to refine the demon dragon bloodline contained in that wine.
"Except for the patriarch and a few elders, the priest has the highest status in the clan! This dragon spirit wine is extremely difficult to refine, and the materials used are very expensive, but it is of great benefit to our dragon spirit clan cultivators to refine their bodies, and only those who become priests are eligible to enjoy it!"
After the completion of the ceremony of becoming a "priest", the next step is a grand celebration. Li Muran felt that although the wine made by the Dragon Spirit Clan was very strong, it was quite good for refining the body, so he drank a lot of it to his heart's content.
During this period, many elders of the Dragon Spirit Clan led the shy Dragon Spirit Clan girls to Li Muran and other priests and let them choose. These dragon spirit clan girls are all wheat-skinned, phoenix eyes and bare feet, and they look exceptionally energetic, which is quite different from most spiritual human cultivators. According to the rules of the Dragonroo clan, the priests belonged to the noble people and were qualified to choose twelve maidens as concubines.
Li Muran saw that the other priests had selected a few, and he was not too different, so he also selected a few girls who were quite eye-catching.
At the end of the ceremony, many of the Dragons were already drunk and unconscious. Although Li Muran's drinking power is average, his mind is strong, and no matter how strong his alcohol is, he is still not confused.
After returning to the new palace assigned to him, Li Muran drove away those girls and began to meditate and practice, refining the blood of the demon dragon.
However, the refining process was rather slow. Just when he was feeling strange, the young patriarch and an elder suddenly visited his cave mansion and sent a body refining exercise, which was named after the clan, called "Dragon Soul Jue", which was the core exercise of the Dragon Soul Clan. However, only a few highest-ranking monks, such as priests, were eligible to receive the complete exercises. Li Muran inquired that other priests had also obtained this exercise.
In this way, Li Muran began his cultivation career as a priest in the Dragon Luo Clan. His priesthood was a vain office, and he had no duty to bear, except to practice his body diligently. It's just that thirty years later, there will be an examination to choose a high priest from among the priests.
While cultivating the "Dragon Spirit Technique", Li Muran inquired about the basic situation of the demon world. However, it is a pity that the Yanlong Island where they are located is a relatively closed island, separated from the nearest Yellow Horn Continent by the vast West Demon Sea, and the information is relatively closed.
In the center of Yanlong Island, there is a fang market located on the top of a mountain. This city is also jointly managed by the three clans, and is used to exchange some items for the clansmen to practice.
In this city, in addition to the monks of the three major demon clans, there are also some foreign merchants. They are not monks on this island, but they have settled on the island all the year round, and they have a cooperative relationship with the three major demon clans, and pay a certain fee to the three demon clans. Some of these merchants also took the plunge and often traveled back and forth between Yanlong Island and other nearby islands to buy and sell treasures and make a profit.
Li Muran often lingers in the market. As a priest of the Dragon Spirit Clan, he has a lot of money every month, but he can't leave Yanlong Island, and he is always accompanied by some guards and maids, so it is difficult to get out.
The classics in the market are very fond of Li Muran, and a lot of information can be obtained directly from the classics, in addition, Li Muran is also gradually familiar with several foreign businessmen, and he has learned more information from them.
Within a few years, Li Muran had already learned about the general situation of the nearby immortal cultivation world.
On this day, Li Muran came to the market again. The Thousand Illusion Fairy, who is the priest of the Extreme Flame Clan, also came here. After the two met, they kept raising the price in order to compete for a certain treasure, but in fact, they secretly communicated and talked.
"It is unlikely that there are clues from Xuanguang and others here, and it is relatively closed, and there is no more useful information to be found, should we leave this island quietly?" asked Li Muran.
"I'm not in a hurry!" the Thousand Illusion Fairy said, "There are actually some quite powerful Demon Flame Divine Powers in the Extreme Flame Clan, and I have cultivated Demon Flame over the years, and my progress has been extremely fast. It's better to cultivate for a while longer, and after I have mastered all the demonic flames of the Extreme Yan Clan, it's not too late to leave. ”
Li Muran nodded slightly: "It's okay." Although the other exercises of the Dragon Spirit Clan are not worth mentioning, the alchemy technique is quite unique, and my practice here also helps a lot in refining the body. ”
"It is said that after more than 20 years, each clan will have a high priest to choose, and the winner will complete the ancestor worship ceremony on behalf of his tribe, and then he will be free to leave the island and go to the outside world to practice. ”
"With the power of both you and me, it is not difficult to win the position of high priest. Why don't you and I become high priests, and then take this opportunity to get out of here!"
The Thousand Illusion Fairy nodded: "I also inquired about the selection of the high priest, and the general situation is consistent with what you said. I'll just agree to leave together after the selection of the high priests! With these twenty years of cultivation, I should be able to successfully cultivate those demonic flame supernatural powers. ”
"However," the Thousand Illusion Fairy snorted coldly: "I heard that the priests of the Dragon Luo Clan are all very happy, you don't want to cause any love debts, and you are reluctant to leave this island when the time comes!"
