"Brother Luo, don't worry, I still know this truth."
Song Yaoguang agreed with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen rays of light fell around the crowd, revealing a dozen figures wearing black armor.
These people have uniform clothes and armor, and their auras are above the Golden Immortal level. They are the most elite Black Weasel army under King Black Weasel.
Immediately, two more figures appeared in front of these black weasels, a man and a woman.
The man is a young man in his twenties, handsome in appearance, wearing a white robe and a square scarf on his head, and holding a white folding fan in his hand. He is obviously imitating King Black Weasel in dressing up as a scholar.
As for the woman, she had a delicate appearance, her eyes were closed tightly and she seemed to be blind, and her expression was as cold as an ice sculpture.
Both of them exuded the aura of Taiyi monks, but there was no hostility at all.
"His Thirteenth Highness, four fellow Taoists, my father has asked me to be responsible for receiving you. Now, do you want to go directly to your residence and take a rest first?"
The young man in white robe is the third son of the Black Weasel King and the most talented heir. He is now responsible for commanding the Black Weasel Army and has a high status in the city.
However, he did not dare to show arrogance to Luo Hong and others now. After all, before he came, King Black Weasel had repeatedly told him that he must make good friends with these people.
"It's better to take a rest first. Although Shi was not injured this time, he was frightened for a while."
Shi Chuankong was in a state of confusion at the moment and really needed to be alone for some quiet time, so he immediately nodded and replied.
"Li is not in a hurry. I wonder if you recognize this order?"
Han Like couldn't calm down until the matter of the crying soul was resolved. Hearing this, he turned over his hand and took out the token given to him by the Black Weasel King and asked.
"Of course I recognize it. This is a reward order, and only my father is qualified to issue it.
Since Fellow Daoist Li holds this order, I guess it is your father who promised to reward you with some treasure.
If my fellow Taoist is impatient, I can ask Qingmang to take you to the treasure house."
The young man in white robe pointed at the woman in green robe beside him and said.
"Then it will be hard work."
Han Li was very anxious, so he immediately held his hand aside.
The young man in white robe nodded and told the woman in green robe beside him.
Immediately, the woman and Han Li turned into two rays of light and left the Range Rover Garden first.
"Mo is in need of retreat, so just go to his residence with Brother Shi first."
Having obtained the Jinyuan Dao Fruit, Luo Hong must of course focus on restoring the Dao damage of Huanshi Xingtong.
"My little girl cannot stay in Black Weasel City for a long time. I don't know if there is a secret channel in the city to send me here."
Song Yaoguang, like Luo Hong, did not reveal his real name to outsiders.
She knew that she would need to go to the rendezvous place alone later, and there would inevitably be some dangers on the way, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get help from Black Weasel City to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
After saying that, she held out the assessment map for the young man in white robe to check.
"This is a small matter. When the fairy wants to leave, just use this talisman to let me know next time. I will definitely make arrangements for the fairy!"
Black Weasel City has many secret teleportation formations deployed in the Shiwan Mountains. Song Yaoguang is not going to a forbidden Jedi place, he can just be arranged into a secret caravan when the time comes.
With that said, the young man in white robe threw out a white talisman.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
After taking the talisman, Song Yaoguang immediately thanked him.
But only Shi Chuankong and Luo Hong noticed that the purple-eyed Nascent Soul had a strange fluctuation at this time.
The two looked at each other and made a tacit agreement not to announce anything about it.
Seeing that everyone had no other requests, the young man in white robe led everyone to the residence arranged for them by King Black Weasel.
It was a palace not far from the Range Rover Garden. The interior was quite luxurious, but it was not as vulgar as the Golden Light Palace. Instead, it was extremely elegant.
After the young man in white robe left, Luo Hong pretended to go back to his room to rest, but in a flash he came to the stone-pierced pavilion.
Shi Chuankong was not surprised at all by Luo Hong's sudden arrival, and immediately said to the purple-eyed demon puppet standing by:
"Okay, now you can tell me why you reacted like that after seeing that map."
"It turns out that the young master asked his subordinates to wait here for this reason."
Zi Jing was very surprised when he heard this. He thought the young master had something to ask him to do.
"Yes, Brother Luo thinks that map is a bit strange. He had seen it with me before, but Shi didn't see anything about it.
Since you have reacted, you probably know something, so just tell the truth."
After all, he was his personal subordinate. Shi Chuankong did not allow Zi Jing to have any secrets from him, so his tone was a bit harsh at the moment.
"Young Master, the reason why my subordinates feel that the map is a bit suspicious is because the places marked on it are centered on Ziyan City."
Zi Jing replied in a calm tone, as if she didn't think this was a big deal.
"Purple Smoke City? Oops, why did I forget this place!"
Shi Chuankong was stunned when he heard this, then slapped his head and said in annoyance.
"It's not my fault, young master. After all, young master, you are not a poisonous cultivator like us."
Zi Jing quickly handed over her hand and found an excuse for Shi Chuankong.
"I say, you two, master and servant, please stop playing riddles. Someone can explain it to Luo in detail."
Seeing these two people acting as riddle men in front of him, Luo Hong couldn't help but frowned slightly and urged.
"Brother Luo, Zi Jing knows this best. Let him explain it to you."
Shi Chuankong immediately gave the order.
"Yes, young master!"
Zi Jing took the order, looked at Luo Hong, and said with a smile:
"Senior Luo, speaking of it, this matter is also related to the ancient poisonous path inheritance that this junior promised to lead you to find.
The Purple Smoke City got its name because thousands of miles outside the city, there is a huge swamp that emits purple poisonous smoke all year round.
Every 330,000 years, a strange phenomenon will occur in this swamp, and the purple smoke will condense into a giant cauldron.
At that time, two types of monks who meet the conditions can pass through the giant cauldron and go to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
That’s where the ancient poison path is inherited!”
"What are the two specific conditions?"
Intuition told Luo Hong that this assessment task in the Immortal Prison should be related to one of the conditions.
"First, as long as you have cultivated the Ten Thousand Poison Hunyuan Body to the fourth level or above, you can enter the Cauldron Cave.
Second, monks who have not cultivated the Ten Thousand Poison Hunyuan Body must sacrifice a magical beast of the same level as themselves to the purple smoke giant cauldron before they can enter the cave to seek opportunities."
Zi Jing replied immediately.
"I see."
Hearing this, Luo Hong couldn't help but nodded. He was basically certain that the Sima Prison Master arranged the assessment in this way because he was planning on the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
It's just that he is a Daluo monk, and the Taiyi monster captured in the assessment mission is useless to him. Is he paving the way for his nephew?
"If you want to know the truth, you have to first understand the situation of the other assessors. I can ask the Third Young Master to help with this matter."
As soon as Luo Hong's thoughts came to his mind, he put aside the matter and looked at Shi Chuankong again and asked:
"The conditions are so loose. Every time this Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons appears, it should attract many monks and make a lot of noise. Why does Brother Shi seem to be unfamiliar with it?"
Although the Ten Thousand Poison Hunyuan Body is a typical body-refining technique that is easy to learn and difficult to master, the fourth level is just the Golden Immortal realm of the physical body. Given the size of the Demon Realm, there must be many monks who meet the conditions.
What's more, there are alternative methods available.
The normal situation should be that whenever the Purple Smoke Cauldron approaches, Purple Smoke City will become extremely lively.
"Brother Luo, this is a huge misunderstanding.
Not to mention that the ancient poison path has long since declined, and there are not many monks of our clan practicing it now, let’s just say that the opportunities involved have become extremely rare after countless births over countless years.
If you don’t believe me, Brother Luo, ask Zi Jing, he hasn’t had any free time before, has he ever been to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?”
Shi Chuankong immediately smiled bitterly.
"Young Master, the ancient power who founded Ten Thousand Poison Cave was able to leave traces of the Great Path, and the trial place he left behind is still a great temptation for those Poison Dao monks.
My subordinates are not very interested, just because I am just dabbling in it, not a dedicated poison cultivator."
Zi Jing explained her situation and then said to Luo Hong:
"I believe that Senior Luo will definitely be curious about what avenue left traces, but in fact there is nothing mysterious about it.
It’s just that when any monk has cultivated the Ten Thousand Poison Hunyuan Body to the fourth level, he will hear the sound transmission from the avenue and learn that the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is a place of trial.”
"Those who can leave traces of the Great Dao are Taoist ancestors. Such a being is called an 'ancient power'. It is really not an exaggeration at all."
Luo Hong does have some understanding of the so-called traces left by the great road. This is the last resort that the Taoist ancestors can use when they merge with the Tao.
However, its use is very small, and most Taoist ancestors would not have such a leisurely mind when they are in harmony with Taoism.
In comparison, the ancient Taoist ancestor really took care of the younger monks.
Not only did they arrange an exclusive trial place, they also specially used the means of leaving traces on the avenue to notify them, truly ensuring that no one was left out.
Hmm. This looks suspicious!
"Senior Luo, there are indeed very few opportunities in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, but the inheritance of the ancient poison path is definitely still there. After all, this thing can be copied.
Therefore, the junior would never make random promises to lure the senior to rescue him.
Moreover, although the junior has not actually entered the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, he has connections with those real poison cultivators and can obtain relevant maps from them.
If the seniors want to enter, the juniors can lead the way!"
Seeing Luo Hong frown suddenly, Zi Jing thought that Luo Hong felt that she had failed to save him, so she quickly tried to make up for it.
"Haha, you don't have to worry, as long as the ancient poison path inheritance is true, nothing else matters.
How long is it until the Purple Smoke Ningding Cauldron?"
Luo Hong's original purpose was this. Although it was a pity that there were no other opportunities, it would not have much impact.
"It's probably still six or seven years away, but the Purple Smoke Giant Cauldron will continue to exist for more than a hundred years, so there's no need to worry."
Zi Jing reached out and did some calculations.
"Well, Luo wants to go on a trip. I wonder if Brother Shi is interested in going along?"
After Luo Hong pondered for a moment, he suddenly looked towards Shi Chuankong.
"It's not that Shi is unwilling, it's actually a bit inconvenient.
The ancient great master who founded the Ten Thousand Poison Cave seems to have a great connection with our royal family. Among the ancestral precepts that all generations of our royal family must follow, there is a prohibition against entering the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."
Shi Chuankong immediately showed a confused look on his face.
"Oh? There is such a secret.
Little friend Zi Jing, may I ask how many of the monks who entered the Ten Thousand Poison Cave came out alive every time?"
Luo Hong suddenly became concerned and suspected that the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was a big pit.
"Although there are some dangers in the cave, only 20 to 30% of the monks are lost each time, and most of them are monks in the early stage of Golden Immortal. Seniors don't have to worry."
Zi Jing immediately replied, obviously he had done a lot of understanding before.
"If that's the case, then please ask Brother Shi to lend the purple-eyed friend to Luo for a period of time."
Luo Hong nodded, feeling curious in his heart.
On one hand, Prison Master Sima seems to have some plans for the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and on the other hand, the royal family of the Demon Realm has some taboos about the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
This overtly and covertly proves that there is something special about Ten Thousand Poison Cave, otherwise it would not be treated so specially.
"It doesn't matter whether we borrow it or not, this is the life-saving grace that Zi Jing must repay. Brother Luo can take him back now and wait for dispatch!"
Shi Chuankong immediately agreed readily.
"That's not necessary. Luo still needs to stay in seclusion for a while, so I'll take my leave first."
Luo Hong did not forget that he was still injured. He raised his hand towards Shi Chuankong and disappeared from the place.
"In that case, you go back to the soul nourishing bottle to cultivate first."
Seeing this, Shi Chuankong turned over his hand and took out a small black bottle.
"Young Master, you have no one around you now, so please let your subordinates protect you."
Purple Eyes cupped her hands to be effective.
"No need to do these superficial things, come in quickly."
Shi Chuankong's voice turned cold and he said impatiently.
Upon seeing this, Zi Jing immediately stopped insisting. After all, if Shi Chuankong still encounters danger in Black Weasel City, it must be the work of King Black Weasel, and his mere Nascent Soul cannot have any effect at all.
I saw a ball of black light escaping from the demon puppet and flying into the black vial in the blink of an eye.
After putting away the small black bottle, Shi Chuankong was suddenly the only one left in the building. He didn't sit cross-legged to do his exercises at that moment. Instead, he turned over his hand and took out a wine bottle. He was actually drinking by himself, his eyes the whole time.
Not on top of the drink in the glass.
On the other side, Luo Hong had already returned to the room. After placing the restraints as usual, he launched the Golden Sun Reverse Rain Formation.
With a flash of silver light, Luo Hong instantly appeared on the futon he used for practice in the formation.
After calmly adjusting his breath for a while, Luo Hong turned his palm and took out a Jinyuan Dao Fruit, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
I saw that there were extremely small golden inscriptions on the Dao on the skin of this fruit, one by one connected into lines, which looked mysterious and unusual.
"Sure enough, it is a rare treasure from heaven and earth, taking away the beauty of creation."
Luo Hong knew very well that in terms of grades, Jin Yuan Daoguo had already reached the third grade, and even Daluo monks would have to fight for it.
Dao Fruit has many wonderful uses, and treating Dao injuries is one of the most inconspicuous.
To be honest, this Jinyuan Dao Fruit was undoubtedly a waste if it was given to Luo Hong.
"Except for the one that was taken away by King Golden Rhinoceros, I got a total of eight Golden Yuan Dao Fruits this time. No matter how I use them in the future, I have to keep one."
With this in mind, Luo Hong flipped his other hand, took out a gold and jade treasure box, and sealed the taken out Golden Yuan Dao Fruit inside. ()
