"The demon clan is divided into five major clans: demon birds, demon plants, demon beasts, demon insects, and demons. Although the demon plants are difficult to move, they are extremely scary. You must be careful when encountering them."

You looked at those towering ancient trees with a deep look of fear in his eyes.

The corner of Ding Ning's mouth curled up slightly. The Yaozhi lineage has strong vitality and its methods are weird and unpredictable. It is indeed terrifying, but he has the Nemesis Annihilation Talisman of the Yaozhi lineage, so he won't have any fear.

Even the eyes that looked at the ancient tree were shining with green light, as if they were watching the fruits of life fall into their pockets.

The nearby ancient trees felt a chill all over their bodies, giving rise to a strong sense of uneasiness. The leaves rustled softly and communicated quietly, as if they were thinking about something terrible. When his thoughts spread outward and wanted to find the source of the danger, Ding Ning had already

They had already withdrew their gaze, making them very confused. Could it be that their sensing was wrong.

"What is the goblin clan?"

Ding Ning asked curiously.

"The goblin family is the collective name for the spirits that are created after foreign objects such as mountain spirits, stone monsters, demons, and monsters awaken their intelligence."

You casually explained, making Ding Ning frown slightly in surprise. Can mountain rocks also become spirits?

"Brother, it's time to reach the ninth level. Let's go in."

You suddenly interrupted Ding Ning's thoughts. He looked up and saw that there were no vines between the two ancient trees, leaving a huge passage a hundred feet wide for the monster to pass.

Two humanoid demon guards of unknown race stood on both sides with expressionless faces, indifferent to the demons coming and going, like sculptures.

Ding Ning and You entered the ninth area without any hindrance. What they saw was a majestic city built of rocks and plants. The city gate was a hundred feet high. Standing under the city, they felt insignificant. The city walls on both sides

It is covered with rust-like green moss. Those green moss should also belong to the lineage of demonic plants. Occasionally, they will squirm slightly, filling the gaps in the city wall and used as an adhesive.

The city wall snakes in a ring and extends to both sides like a long snake. It is impossible to see the end of it in the field of vision, which makes Ding Ning feel like he is seeing the Great Wall.

"This is the outer gate of the Ninth Territory. All demon clans can pass through and conduct business and transactions in the city. If you want to enter the inner area of ​​the Ninth Territory to practice or hunt for treasures, you must obtain the right of residence of the Ninth Territory. If you want to enter

For the eighth territory, you have to go to the lord's mansion to apply for clearance. After successfully passing the barrier, the lord will issue a clearance certificate before you can go to the eighth territory."

You introduced Ding Ning in detail while leading Ding Ning into the ninth territory.

Ding Ning asked in confusion: "Why is no one checking and registering? How do the people in the Ninth Territory know whether we have the right to live?"

He was originally worried that since he was in human form, he would be regarded as an alien by the monsters, but he did not expect that there were many humanoid monsters walking on the street, and he was not conspicuous among them at all, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is no need to check and register. Have you seen the green moss on the city gate?"

Youzui clicked, gesturing for him to look at the green moss mixed in the gaps in the city wall, and introduced: "This kind of moss is called Yiying Moss. It belongs to the lineage of demon plants. Although it has no fighting power, it has automatic memory and forms images.

Talents, every demon clan that comes in and out will be recorded by them and transmitted to the city lord's palace for record.

Once outsiders without residency rights stay idle in the city for more than three days, they will be marked as warning targets by Yiying Moss. The leading guards will come to the door, expel these people, and list them as unwelcome targets. The next time they are found

When the opponent comes again, Yiying Moss will send a warning to the Lord's Mansion, and the leading guards will come and kill him."

Ding Ning was dumbfounded when he heard this. Damn it, this thing is more advanced than the electronic monitoring system. But he asked curiously: "What if the other party changes his appearance?"

"Yi Ying Moss records not only the appearance, but also the soul imprint and scent of the other party. There is no use in disguising it."

You shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Ding Ning was secretly speechless and his eyes were darting around. This thing is a good thing. I wonder if he can dig up some and take it back with him, so that he can keep it for home care and nursing home!

"Brother, if we want to enter the inner area of ​​the Ninth Territory, we must first obtain the right of residence in the Ninth City."

You reminded.

"Okay, how do I get the right of residence?"

Ding Ning plans to visit the ancient ruins where the Yin Yang and Five Elements Reversal Formation is located. Three days will definitely not be enough, so naturally he has to obtain the right of residence first.

"Then you have to apply to the Lord's Mansion first, then pay a sum of money, and then pass the test before you can become a citizen of the Ninth Territory."

You scratched his head and said with a troubled face: "But we don't have money."

"Money? What money?"

Ding Ning was a little confused. He had some renminbi and rice gold on him, but the demon clan might not recognize them.

"that is……"

You has a big head. He always lives alone in the wild. Even if he comes to the Ninth Territory occasionally, it is only for a short stay. He has never spent money. If you ask him to explain what money is at once, he can't describe it. He is scratched.

He scratched his head and said with a troubled face: "I haven't seen it either!"

Poor child, how poor he is, he has never even seen any money.

Ding Ning was also drunk, but this was not a problem for him. He waved his hand: "Follow me!"

You followed Ding Ning sluggishly, directly to a store with a banner with a medicine pot pattern hanging on the door, and walked in with a swagger.

"Hello, sir, I don't know if you are coming to our Treasure Medicine Pavilion to buy elixirs or sell elixirs?"

A female clerk with a charming appearance, a curvy figure, and a cat tail on the back of her butt came up to her with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically.

This is probably a cat demon, Ding Ning murmured to himself, raised his head and chest, put his hands behind his back, and put on an air of arrogance. He ignored her and looked at the treasure medicine pavilion on his own.

Catwoman's professionalism was obviously very high, and she did not show any dissatisfaction with Ding Ning's rudeness. She still had a professional smile on her face and followed them step by step.

The entire treasure medicine pavilion covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. The ground is paved with very smooth polished bluestone. A wooden corner staircase leads directly to the second floor. It can be seen that the treasure medicine pavilion has more than one floor.

The surrounding walls are inlaid with luminous pearls for lighting, and the walls are filled with simple shelves. There are all kinds of medicine bottles on the shelves. Each medicine bottle contains hundreds of pills, while some only have one.

There are labels on the bottom of the medicine bottles, which tell you about Qi and Blood Pills, Marrow Strengthening Pills, Tiger Bone Pills, Deer Blood Pills, Jingqi Pills, etc., etc., there is a dazzling array of them all.

Although they were all low-level elixirs, Ding Ning was still shocked by them. The demon clan had such a profound background. Even though these elixirs were not high-grade, most of them he had never seen before.

However, he also discovered that most of these elixirs were mainly for replenishing blood and strengthening muscles and bones, while there were very few elixirs for replenishing mental power, and there was only one low-grade Jingyuan elixir.

Moreover, these elixirs are made from the blood, bones, hair, tendons, essence, organs and even demon elixirs of various demon clans. This shows how powerful the power behind this treasure medicine pavilion is.

In ancient times, there were alchemists on earth who made elixirs in pursuit of immortality. They used cinnabar, mercury, sulfur, lead, tin and other minerals as raw materials. Every time they made elixirs, the streets and alleys were filled with an unpleasant smell, no less than today's industrial pollution.

, but the alchemists advocated that they were refining the elixir that would make people "immortal" and "transform into immortals".

Li Shizhen witnessed the tragic situation of people being maimed and killed due to taking cinnabar. She deeply hated this behavior that harmed the country and the people, wasted money and wasted money, and deceived people's propaganda. She once distinguished it in "Compendium of Materia Medica" and said: "The essence of mercury and even yin has a calm nature.

If it is tempered by ordinary fire, it will soar and change spiritually; if it is fumigated by human qi, it will penetrate into the bones and tendons, eliminate the yang and corrode the brain, and there is nothing similar to the poisonous things.

Li Shizhen is a loyal supporter of using plants and trees as medicine. To outsiders, he is refuting the evil of these alchemists, but in Ding Ning's view, it is an orthodox dispute among schools of traditional Chinese medicine. He does not deny that some alchemists are extremely evil, but they are not

It is sheer nonsense to say that alchemists made alchemy. In fact, Chi You once said that iron, wood, gold and stone can be used as medicine.

The alchemist's method of refining alchemy may sound unbelievable, but in fact it belongs to another school of traditional Chinese medicine, derived from the Guigu School.

Everyone knows that Mr. Guigu Wang Xu was a famous thinker during the Warring States Period, a representative figure of Taoism, a master of the art of war, the originator of political strategists, and proficient in hundreds of schools of knowledge. He was a representative figure of the Guigu School.

He knows everything about heaven and earth, and has extraordinary wisdom that cannot be matched by others. One is mathematics, the sun, stars, and latitudes are in his palms, and he can check the comings and goings, and everything he says is verified; the other is military science, including six towers and three strategies, with endless changes, and formation formation.

When marching, there are unpredictable ghosts and gods; the third is about learning of words, remembering a lot of information, judging the situation clearly, speaking out words, and being unable to speak ten thousand words; the fourth is about being born, cultivating one's nature, curing diseases and prolonging life, taking food and guidance, and ascending from the ground.

He had countless disciples, and the most outstanding disciples were Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi. They all left a strong mark in the history of China, but there was no outstanding disciple who inherited his legacy in the field of medicine, so

This resulted in the Guigu Sect’s medical school not being prominent.

Ding Ning once had a detailed understanding of his life and highly praised his medical skills. He found a new way and did not follow the herbal method. Instead, he extracted the medicinal properties of iron wood and used it to make elixirs and medicines. He was a strange man of his generation.

In his medical theory, he put forward the view that "all things have animism and benefit all living beings, and metal, stone, bone and blood have medicinal properties". Unfortunately, this school has its limitations after all. The decline of the spiritual power of heaven and earth has led to many diseases.

The "iron metal stone" that can be used as medicine has lost its spirituality, or in other words, lacks the means to refine its spirituality, which is why the medical school of Guigu has gradually declined.

In addition, in order to achieve certain political demands, those alchemists of later generations used the name of Taoism to make elixirs indiscriminately, causing harm to people's lives and deceiving people's hearts. In the end, they aroused the anger of heaven and earth, and the grass and trees faction took the opportunity to pursue and fight, making this a promising idea.

The genre was eventually lost in the long river of history.

Ding Ning never thought that the Guiguzi sect, which had turned into clouds on the earth, would flourish in this world of monsters. Using the muscles, bones, essence and blood of monsters as a guide, it could actually refine a substance that could strengthen the body and assist in cultivation.

elixir.

This makes Ding Ning extremely excited. It’s not that it’s not good to use plants and trees as medicine, but as a medical madman, he has an extremely paranoid enthusiasm for medical skills. He once lamented the disappearance of the Guigu School. Now he has the opportunity to learn even just a little bit about animal blood.

How could he be willing to let go of the method of making alchemy from flesh and blood?

He turned around and showed a spring-like smile to Catwoman who was always following behind him, and said gently: "Beauty, can I meet your alchemist?"

Catwoman was caught off guard by the 180-degree turn in Ding Ning's attitude. Her heart skipped a beat, her mouth opened and she was speechless for a long time.

Alchemists all have weird tempers. Ding Ning thought that Catwoman was worried about being scolded by the alchemist, so she frowned slightly and then straightened her eyebrows, took out a Bu Yuan Dan and handed it to her, and said kindly: "Please give this pill to me."
