Chapter 431 The Secret Code of the Palace
"Immortal?"
Even Xue Chengdu, who was about to speak before, felt his brows beating wildly.
The highest pursuit of all ages was actually right in front of him and not far away from them. At this moment, he had the urge to abandon everything and run to the East China Sea to find the immortal and seek the method of immortality.
.
But fortunately, he calmed down quickly and investigated various cases all year round. He heard the slightly sarcastic tone from the Lord of the Underworld.
"Are there any hidden dangers in this immortality?"
“Not much!”
On the high platform, the Lord of the Underworld spoke calmly.
"Maybe I just need to become a person with scales and armor!"
"Um?"
Several people's brows twitched, wondering what it meant.
Only Yu Zhifu thought that the Lord of the Underworld had asked him to search for the remains of the demon clan outside the East China Sea, and he had some guesses.
"Could it be that the demons suppressed in it are the demon clan left over from the past? In order to become an immortal, do you have to become a demon first? However, the magic circle that detects demons does not feel the demonic energy in it. What is the explanation for this?"
"Who said that the demon clan can't live for thousands of years?"
"As for the lack of demonic energy..."
When he said this, Zhang Mingtu paused and said with a smile: "This is easier to explain. How can the demon saint carry demon energy? Some are just demon gangs."
"What?"
Silent waves sounded here, and even Yu Zhifu, who had always had a certain sense of superiority and self-confidence, felt his hands and feet were a little cold.
He had long known that joining the underworld would involve high-level events, but he did not expect that this event would happen so quickly.
A demon saint, and a powerful demon saint who is likely to live for hundreds or even thousands of years, was suppressed on the bank of the East China Sea, not too far away from the entire Jiangnan land.
This is horrifying information.
Once such a terrifying monster breaks out of the wind, God knows what terrible things will happen.
And thinking that not long ago, he had been so close to that terrifying demon saint, almost face to face, Yu Zhifu felt a chill down his spine.
Qi Guangji's reaction was even more acute. Relating to what he said last time, he suddenly said: "Is it related to the upper world, the big shots in the upper world, and immortality? He was even in the same room as the First Emperor back then.
period……"
Yang You's hands and feet were trembling a little, not because of fear, but because of excitement.
Not only him, but also Xue Cheng had a trembling feeling.
It involves the First Emperor from nearly a thousand years ago, that powerful figure, and it also involves the secret of immortality.
This was even more terrifying than the scene they had seen in the underworld before. In a trance, he seemed to be back to the last time, as if he suddenly saw the Sansheng Stone, and felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart.
On the high platform, Zhang Mingtu was still calm, sitting there so indifferently, but the five people present felt that strange posture, and they suddenly felt confident in their hearts, as if there was a needle standing there.
"Do you want to capture him? Do you want to gain the secret of immortality?"
Yu Zhifu spoke with bright eyes.
On the high platform, Zhang Mingtu just said indifferently: "He is just a vanguard. Killing him has no meaning. As for the secret of immortality."
When he said this, Zhang Mingtu sneered: "It's just qi and immortal matter originating from a higher world."
Yu Zhifu felt his body trembling, and so did Qi Guangji. In a daze, they seemed to have uncovered the secret of immortality that emperors had pursued for thousands of years.
"Is this what they're after?"
"Immortality..."
Several people have strange feelings.
"So what do you want to do?"
Yang You couldn't help but speak curiously.
But Zhang Mingtu just said calmly and indifferently: "It was similar to what the First Emperor did, cutting off all the tentacles that penetrated into this world, and then dragging down the world from above.
"Does it mean you have to go to the upper world to live forever? He can eat us, why can't we eat him?"
boom!
There was no sound, as if a thunder exploded in my ears.
Hearing such amazing courage, Yang You and Xiang Yu's blood boiled, and Yu Zhifu's eyes flashed.
Both Xue Cheng and Qi Guangji felt it was extremely difficult, but at the same time they were shocked by the heroic spirit.
"Is this the purpose of the Lord of the Underworld? Is this why he holds the gathering in the underworld?"
Yu Zhifu was really shocked.
When Zhang Mingtu saw that the discussion was almost over, he immediately stopped speaking and said in a deep voice: "The conversation is almost complete now, you can speak freely!"
"As for the future, before you become a Martial Saint, you won't be able to change much with your strength. At most, you can help my followers handle some things. A lot of information needs to be exchanged equally."
After finishing speaking, the area where Zhang Mingtu was located was filled with fog, and the five people present looked at each other in confusion.
Yang You and Xiang Yu were a little confused and didn't know what to say.
After Xue Cheng hesitated for a moment, he still looked sideways at Yu Zhifu according to the original plan, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I wonder if you can give me some help, and I will give you a corresponding reward."
"Um?"
Yu Zhi, who was still in the middle of strenuous exercise, was stunned for a moment, but when Xue Cheng said this, he no longer hesitated, took a deep breath and said: "I want you to help me find a safer area outside the southeast coast.
If you can successfully set up a magic circle, there will definitely be huge rewards."
Of course, Xue Cheng couldn't afford to let Xue Cheng take revenge on his own, but Xue Cheng felt that he had the prince behind him, and that prince would definitely be able to give generous rewards as long as he could complete this step. Therefore, at this time, in his heart
Totally true.
When Zhang Mingtu heard this conversation on the high platform, his heart skipped a beat.
"Oh, I'm setting up a magic circle on the sea. I don't know what kind of magic circle it is."
Yu Zhifu became interested. He still didn't know the specific identity of this Jin Yiwei who followed the prince, but he didn't expect that this person would take the initiative to contact him.
Yang You's eyes widened, he didn't expect to be able to trade like this.
"It is a magic circle that gathers the power of water sources."
Xue Cheng glanced around, but he actually didn't want to say anything. After all, it involved the prince's secret information, and he didn't want others to know.
But this is not his home court, so he has no choice.
After a pause, he said: "I have a friend who has a pet that has reached the strongest level among demon saints. He wants to become a demon saint, but he lacks a little accumulation. He needs to arrange a magic circle on the sea to help.
He broke through."
"Fuck!"
Yang You's eyes widened, and he felt more and more that his situation was embarrassing, as if he shouldn't be here.
He never thought that the conversation between the two would actually lead to the creation of a demon saint, and that a demon saint could actually become someone else's pet.
Yu Zhifu's eyes narrowed, and a huge wave of panic arose in his heart.
Any being with a saint, whether it is a demon saint or a martial saint, is a living true dragon, possessing incredible power.
Such a being is actually someone's pet.
There was a huge wave of panic in his heart, but when he thought about what Xue Cheng said before when he was in panic, he understood a little bit what the prince said.
"I'm afraid that his friend is that prince. Which prince in Kyoto actually has a demon saint under his name?"
"Is he the eldest prince? But the eldest prince has many mounts under his name, but they are all in the same master field. The most famous black jade unicorn under his name has the blood of Qilin, but it has only gone far in the master field.
There is still a long way to go before becoming a demon saint.
"Besides, if he is really the eldest prince, he doesn't need my help and can directly issue decrees. He has countless strangers to help him.
"He is a hidden prince. He has secretly developed such a powerful power."
When Yu Zhifu thought of this, he felt that he had been exposed to a huge secret, and his head felt a little swollen. He couldn't help but look sideways, and found that several people around him were staring at Xue Cheng with strange eyes.
The eyes of the one not far from him were even more flashing, as if he was deep in thought.
Qi Guangji paused for a moment and said, "Is it convenient to come to the North? The area I am in also has a large sea area, and it is quite calm. There are not many problems. If the magic circle is arranged, I think I can help a little."
Xue Cheng shook his head without hesitation: "This area along the southeast coast is more convenient."
Qi Guangji suddenly understood: "That prince's main power should be close to the Jiangnan area, but among the many figures in the Jiangnan area and the imperial capital, they are not too close.
"Besides, if its power is nearby, it should be able to set up the magic circle with its own strength, and there is no need to seek help from others."
Qi Guangji was a little puzzled, and could even be said to be in doubt.
Yu Zhifu is in the same state.
"The eldest prince's concubine is a figure among the civil servants. She is naturally close to the civil servants and has some influence on Jiangnan West Road, but there are not many changes. The second prince has always been sick and has not married yet.
My wife, the third prince, is a descendant of a big shot in the military, so she is naturally close to the North..."
Thinking about it carefully, Yu Zhifu could not think of anyone who could meet his goals.
"Perhaps the only one who is closer is the third prince. It is said that he is very close to figures in Buddhism. The princess often goes to the Pure Land Sect to burn incense, saying that it is to pray for her father to be victorious in every battle."
Everyone was in doubt, feeling that this matter involved a struggle for imperial power, and Yu Zhifu did not dare to agree for a while.
After all, if something like this is done in the wrong place, the entire Yu family may fall into ruin.
Seeing Yu Zhifu's silence, Xue Cheng certainly knew what the other party was worried about and immediately said.
"He's just a friend of mine, and if he does something like this, others won't notice much. The magic circle is unprecedented, and no one knows where this transaction was conducted."
Yu Zhifu's heart moved at these words.
Yes, the other party just said that he has a friend, and his friend's pet wants to become a demon saint.
But he didn't know which friend it was.
A demon saint is definitely an extraordinary existence.
Once the other party succeeds, it will definitely be earth-shattering, and they will have a huge advantage in the struggle for imperial power. If you can help the other party quietly here, the harvest will be huge.
Moreover, this transaction was completed in the home court of the Lord of the Underworld.
Others have no idea that they are communicating. In terms of concealment, it is absolutely unparalleled in the world.
Yu Zhifu looked around, then looked up at the Lord of the Underworld who was wrapped in endless thick fog above the main seat, and said loudly: "I wonder if you can protect me and this person, I want to communicate with him privately."
Zhang Mingtu nodded silently, and a thick fog immediately enveloped the two of them. In the eyes of others, Xue Cheng and Yu Zhifu disappeared in an instant.
"Can this still happen?"
Xue Cheng looked at the strange place where only he and Yu Zhifu were, and felt the urge to beat his chest.
If he had known that this would happen, he would have chosen to communicate in secret. He didn't want to show off in front of others, right?
After all, this was a matter involving the prince, and he tried his best to let people know as little as possible.
"Fortunately, it's not too late now."
Xue Cheng comforted himself, and then looked at Yu Zhifu. Yu Zhifu's face was still covered with a layer of fog, and he couldn't see the whole picture clearly.
"I wonder if you are willing to help?"
"I can do this, but the prerequisite is that it must be hidden and cannot be known to others. Many transactions must be held at the meeting held by the Lord of the Underworld. Even if you have relevant items to hand over to me, you still need to go through the Lord of the Underworld.
Come here, not through others, I don’t want to have too much interaction with you in reality.”
Yu Zhifu said it very straightforwardly, and Xue Cheng nodded in approval.
The opponent wants to sell the prince a favor, but he doesn't want to leave the field right now.
"Can!"
"But what do I need to do? I don't know how to arrange the magic circle to help the demon saint break through, and I don't have such a powerful magic circle."
"No need to provide it. I have the relevant forensic evidence here. You just need to help us lay out the corresponding formation cornerstones at the appropriate location."
Xue Cheng was overjoyed: "As for the reward, I wonder what you need? You can propose it in advance, and I can pay part of the deposit first."
What Xue Cheng fears most is that the other party is unwilling to provide help. If he is willing, the next thing will be simple.
With the wealth of the royal family, he dared to agree to any conditions.
Yu Zhifu frowned. In fact, he didn't know what to ask for. After all, he was not too lacking in the family. Based on the land of Jiangnan, in terms of wealth alone, his family was even richer than a single prince.
More importantly, if he asked for money directly, such a large-scale property transaction would most likely make the other party recognize his family and origin, and he would be reluctant to ask for it.
After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "I am very interested in the elixirs needed for the royal family to practice in various realms, as well as the formulas along the way. If there is a secret code of practice in the palace, I will be willing to take action."
Xue Cheng deliberately showed a troubled look on his face, but after a moment he found that the other party had no reaction, and then he remembered that there were circles of thick fog on his face, and he felt embarrassed.
He said directly: "This aspect is difficult, but I will try to give it to you. If the Lords of the Underworld gather again next time, I will provide you with part of it."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
The two of them looked at each other. Although no one mentioned the prince, they both knew that there was a prince behind Queshen.
Zhang Mingtu, who was sitting on the high platform with his chin propped up on one hand, couldn't help but twitch when he heard the requirements for this round of transactions.
He is not a so-called prince, nor does anyone practice the secret scriptures in his palace since childhood.
"But my future brother has indeed obtained the secret code in this regard, and he even revised it together with Yu Zhifu."
