Chapter 249 Incense on the Nielong River
Among the [Nine Divine Pillars] of the Demon Control Division, the most mysterious one is the [Soul Pillar], but the most legendary one must undoubtedly be the [Qi Pillar].
According to outside rumors, [Qi Zhu] was a frustrated scholar when he was young. He studied hard for ten years, rushed to take exams every year, and failed again and again, and finally entered high school in the seventh year.
However, because his family was poor, he was only assigned to compile a royal library. He spent his days and nights with books, and there was no money to be made.
Originally thinking that he would just be mediocre and spend the rest of his life, [Qi Pillar] gave up his ambition and buried himself in the vast sea of books in the royal library.
He sorted out ancient books, compiled Taoist canons, and looked at the manuscripts of his predecessors. Unknowingly, he understood an unprecedented method of cultivation, which could replenish all qi, reverse fortune, mediate the creation of the universe, and destroy the general trend of mountains and rivers.
After ten years, he had perfected his magical powers. When he was born, the whole world was shocked.
"You can achieve it without a teacher, and your magical power comes from heaven!?" Zhou Dao whispered in a seductive voice.
Such a talent is really as mysterious as a ghost, it is unimaginable.
"Some people say that the strength of the Qi Pillar is enough to rank among the top three of the Nine Divine Pillars..."
As a black market boss, Chi Chengfeng has extensive knowledge. Although he has never seen the [Nine Divine Pillars], he has heard many legendary stories about these.
Qi Pillar, Void Trace, he rose from humble beginnings, from a humble family, suddenly realized supernatural powers, played with nature, and cultivated a body that shook the world.
His reputation is not only limited to the Demon Control Division, but even many scholars regard him as an idol.
The strength of the Qi Pillar has always been a secret, and the number of times he took action was extremely rare, but the sects in the world and the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings kept it secret.
Some people say that the strength of the air pillar has no limit and no end.
His Taoism is different from ordinary people's, it is related to Qi, destiny.
Every day of turbulence and changing times is an opportunity for the Qi Pillar to transform.
For example, during the annual major exams, the cultural movement is strong and affects the destiny of the country. The changes in Qi are unprecedented. This is the time for [Qi Pillar] to understand Taoism.
"Top three?"
Zhou Dao couldn't help but be moved. Each of the Nine Divine Pillars was at the pinnacle of the world, and being among the top three was even more terrifying.
This kind of existence, with just one word, can cause great changes in the world.
"Where is the sword pillar?" Zhou Dao asked casually, his cheap teacher rang in his mind.
He had a half-year agreement with Jianzhu. If Zhou Dao could not reach the threshold of the Nine Transformations of the Refining Realm within half a year, he would follow Li Zangfeng to the imperial capital and receive special training.
Zhou Dao naturally knew what Li Zangfeng was thinking.
If you can't even reach the threshold of the Nine Transformations of Refining Realm within half a year, how can you participate in the Yuan Wang Dharma Assembly?
With such strength, even if he participates in the Yuan Wang Dharma Assembly, he can only serve as a foil for others, making him a laughing stock and losing the face of Jianzhu.
The most important thing is that Zhou Dao will probably never see the old man again.
"Sword pillar!?" Chi Chengfeng smiled and shook his head.
"That man has never had a defeat since his debut, and his edge has never dimmed."
In just one sentence, you can see the weight of Li Zangfeng.
His sharp edge has been honed through countless battles. He has gone through hundreds of battles without ever being defeated. His sword is astonishing to the world.
"The Nine Divine Pillars are all top people in the world. It's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker. These rankings are all speculation from outsiders and don't need to be taken seriously." Chi Chengfeng smiled.
Even Yan Jun has countless fans, let alone an unparalleled figure like the Nine Divine Pillars.
Behind each of them are a large number of followers, and these people naturally feel that their idol is the strongest being, enough to overwhelm the other divine pillars.
"That's a long way off, brother. There are a lot of monster corpses recently. If you have monster treasures in your hand, you can definitely sell them for a good price."
Chi Chengfeng brought the topic back.
A while ago, due to the Yuan Clan's aggressive purchase of monsters, there was a serious shortage of monster corpses. Almost all the monster treasures in Zhou Dao's hands were sold at a reduced price.
But things are different now. The Dragon King Festival is about to begin, and the Nielong River has become uneasy. The monsters hidden deep in it have emerged one after another, stirring up trouble.
In fact, it’s not just Nielongjiang.
The rivers and waters within Pingjiang City are not peaceful, and water monsters appear frequently.
Recently, even the Monster Control Division has become extremely busy.
In addition, there are obviously many more experts in hunting monsters on the Nielong River.
Compared to the land, there are more monsters in the rivers and seas. If you kill two or three of them every day, you can get a good price if they change hands.
Every time on the eve of the Dragon King Festival, even masters of the Sixth Transformation of the Refining Realm can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
"Nie Longjiang..." Zhou Dao's heart moved.
A few days ago, he obtained the [Tide Dragon Incense] through sacrifice. This incense has an extremely fatal attraction for water monsters.
Taking advantage of the time before the Dragon King Festival, if he lit the [Tide-fixing Dragon Incense] by the Nielong River, he might be able to gain a lot.
"This is a good opportunity." Zhou Dao became active.
If he could capture monsters in large quantities, why would he sell monster treasures? Directly source the goods, and there would be no middlemen to make profit on the price difference.
The monsters obtained in this way will be more fragrant when sacrificed to the ancestor.
"Brother Chi is right. I'll go back and see if there are any suitable demon treasures." Zhou Dao said calmly and stood up.
When Chi Chengfeng heard this, he looked happy: "That's great, thank you for your hard work, brother."
As he spoke, Chi Chengfeng sent Zhou Dao out.
Zhou Dao left the black market and hailed a donkey cart.
"It's so fast, the donkey cart is moving like lightning. Where are you going, sir?"
The driver, driving his proud white donkey, asked respectfully.
"Nielongjiang!"
"One hundred cents." The coachman quoted a price.
"One hundred coins? Why don't you go grab it? Usually it only costs thirty coins!" Zhou Dao stared at him and said with a strange expression.
"Sir, you probably don't know the market. The Dragon King Festival is coming soon, and there are a lot more tourists in Pingjiang City. The prices of everything have increased."
The coachman grinned: "At this hour, it's lucky that the young master can call me."
"If you wait any longer, you may not be able to get a taxi even with 150 yuan."
"Sir, do you want to do it or not?" The coachman smiled maliciously and stared at Zhou Dao, as if he was convinced.
There are a lot of people running to Niilongjiang these days, and Pingjiang City is only 70 to 80 miles away from there. It's so late at night that it's impossible to get there without calling a car.
Therefore, no matter what price he offers, these people who have taken advantage of them have to pay it, otherwise they will have to stare blankly.
"Sir, are you going to do it or not?" the coachman urged impatiently: "If you don't do it, there will be many people waiting in line behind you!"
"Don't sit down!" Zhou Dao whispered.
As soon as the words fell, his figure suddenly rose up, like a roaring thunder, and turned into an afterimage and fled away. The wind blew up in fright and made the donkey bray and foam at the mouth.
"What the hell!?"
The coachman was in shock. He looked at the empty place in front of him. Was there any figure anywhere?
With Zhou Dao's foot power, the eighty-mile journey was just as long as a cup of tea.
The reason why he called for a donkey cart was that he didn't want to be too conspicuous in the city, but one hundred pennies was enough for half a month's breakfast, so he thought he might as well go on his own.
…
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the quarter moon hangs high.
The whimpering Nielong River is rolling and roaring. Looking from a distance, it looks like a big dragon dormant in the dark night.
The waves are blooming, rushing eastward, and the mighty sound is particularly loud at night.
"Is this the Nielong River? Sure enough, it has a myriad of weather conditions and hidden dangers."
Zhou Dao looked at the roaring river in front of him and couldn't help but praise.
The Nielong River has nine twists and turns, as curved as a coiled snake, with countless reefs, and the deepest part is a hundred feet long.
According to the investigation of the Monster Control Division, there are tens of thousands of monsters hidden in the Nielong River. Many powerful monsters have even opened water mansions and established their own businesses. They have gathered many little monsters under their command, and their power is strong enough to compete with the Monster Control Division.
As far as Zhou Dao knows, there are [ferocious level] monsters in the Nielong River.
That is an existence comparable to the Nine Transformations of the Refining Realm.
"I'll try my luck."
