With a flick of Li Ling's hand, the thousand ingots of immortal gold yang herbs were put into his sleeve. The sleeve is the universe and can contain all things.
After buying the herbs, Li Ling took the time to return to the stone forest. It was already evening and the surroundings were quiet, but there was also the sound of insects.
The mountain breeze was blowing slowly, and in the evening, the mountains were slightly cool. Li Ling waved his hand, took out the purple-gold elixir furnace, and placed it in front of him. He waved his hand again, and a flame rose up, and the purple-gold elixir furnace was ignited.
"I hope these ten pounds of positive herbs can neutralize the negative effects of the Purple Fairy Ganoderma." Li Ling placed all his hope on the positive herbs.
The flames rose up, illuminating the surroundings, and the sound of insects suddenly stopped. Perhaps the flames of the alchemy furnace disturbed the immortal energy around them, so the insects felt uncomfortable and flew away.
Li Ling took out the purple fairy ganoderma from his sleeve and put the purple fairy ganoderma into the alchemy furnace. Just like last time, the purple fairy ganoderma could devour the flames, but the flames in the alchemy furnace could not melt the purple fairy ganoderma at all.
Li Ling took out ten kilograms of yang herbs from his sleeve and slowly put it into the alchemy furnace. Suddenly, in the alchemy furnace, it was divided into two yin and yang flames, half purple flame and half red flame! The purple flame was
Yin fire and red flame are yang fire, but obviously, purple flame is more powerful than red flame.
As the positive herbs continued to enter, Red Flame was gradually getting stronger, but it was still far behind Zi Yan. Li Ling was a little doubtful whether these ten kilograms of positive herbs were enough.
As the number of yang herbs continues to increase, Red Flame is half as powerful as Zi Yan, and the power of the herbs depends on the herbs. Therefore, the role of yang herbs is crucial.
The purple elixir furnace is surrounded by half ice air and half hot air. The rocks on both sides are half frozen and half baked black.
There are not many positive herbs in Li Ling's hand, but Chiyan is still short of half the potency. If it cannot be replenished, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Li Ling secretly regrets that he did not buy more positive herbs in the first place.
Watching the red flames in the alchemy furnace gradually rise, Li Ling's eyes were full of worry. If this continues, the positive herbs will soon be unable to support themselves.
In an emergency, Li Ling put away the purple gold alchemy furnace and headed towards the city. Two auras in the alchemy furnace suddenly filled Li Ling. At this moment, half of Li Ling's body was purple and half of his body was red. He returned to the imperial city. See you all.
Li Ling felt strange things all over his body and everyone got out of the way.
"Drug shop, drug shop." Li Ling was in urgent need of finding a drug store. The drug store he went to last time had already wiped out all the positive herbs. The entire imperial city was so big, but there were very few drug stores, which made Li Ling anxious.
Endless.
"Hey, hey... be careful, you damaged my stall. Can you afford to pay for it?"
Li Ling almost went on a rampage, and didn't even have time to apologize. He rushed directly to the street, and when he saw an open space, he burrowed in. There were very few drug stores around.
"Brother, is there any pharmacy here?" Li Ling grabbed a person's collar, and the person was immediately trembling for a moment due to the two yin and yang forces, and the chills continued.
The man's whole body was in a state of ice and fire, half cold and half hot. He shook his head repeatedly and foamed at the mouth. Seeing that he was about to die, Li Ling immediately let go, knowing that he now belonged to the yin and yang body and could not touch anything at all.
people.
Li Ling used his spiritual sense to see that the yang medicinal herbs in the purple elixir furnace were almost exhausted. He was extremely anxious and decided to go out of the city to search for yang medicinal herbs in the wild. After all, the vast mountains are rich in resources.
Arriving at this vast mountain, Li Ling glanced around and saw thousands of fire tongue grasses in a valley. The fire tongue grasses were growing extremely luxuriantly, and there seemed to be an unusually fiery power in this mountain.
"Go down and have a look." Li Ling fell from a high altitude and came to the center of the fire tongue grass. Li Ling looked at the grass that was as long as a tongue and was immediately delighted. Isn't this fire tongue grass a yang?
Herbal medicine?
Unfortunately, the positive power of the Fire Tongue Grass was weak, so it might be difficult to work. However, Li Ling decided to try it anyway.
Li Ling took out the purple elixir furnace and placed it in the grass. With a casual move, the fire tongue grass automatically left the soil and flew into the palm of Li Ling's hand, and then flew towards the purple elixir furnace one after another.
Although the yang power of Fire Tongue is very weak, it is large in quantity. As the number of Fire Tongue gradually increases, the red flame in the furnace gradually recovers, and it can begin to fight against the purple flame again.
Red Yan's fire is one point shorter than Zi Yan's, and the positive power is one point weaker than Zi Yan's. But to catch up with Zi Yan's power, Li Ling must increase the intensity of the fire tongue grass.
The flame gradually rose up. In the purple elixir furnace, the flame gradually rose up and enveloped the entire furnace, half yin and half yang.
After a few more blows, Chi Yan caught up with Zi Yan's strength, and the Purple Immortal Ganoderma also softened.
As Li Ling watched the purple flames gradually dissipate, he understood that the negative side of the Purple Fairy Ganoderma was beginning to be neutralized, so he became excited and increased the strength of the medicinal materials.
Following this, the medicinal materials gradually turned from negative to positive, and the Purple Fairy Ganoderma was also vaporized bit by bit.
Li Ling slowly dragged the two strands of immortal energy and threw the immortal energy into the furnace. The purple immortal ganoderma in the furnace was wrapped by air currents and gradually condensed into the elixir vessel.
Seeing the Purple Fairy Ganoderma melting down bit by bit, Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The rush just now was of some use.
The Purple Immortal Ganoderma was refined into gas form and swam in the elixir furnace. The spirit-like particles were gradually gathered in the elixir container.
Time is like a wild horse passing by. Li Ling spent a month concentrating on refining the elixir. When the elixir was about to be completed, the strange phenomenon occurred again, and the butterflies flying around gathered around the purple elixir furnace.
The butterflies are flying, and the fragrance of the medicine is overflowing! After smelling the fragrance of the medicine, those butterflies have infinite power and can hold the alchemy furnace in the air!
Li Ling also floated into the air. Just the fragrance of the medicine had such an effect, which showed how powerful this medicine was.
"Buzz..."
The buzzing sound is transmitted from the alchemy furnace, which is an early warning when the elixir is completed!
The scent of medicine floated to the surrounding area of ten miles, and almost all the animals in the surrounding area came to squat in front of the alchemy furnace, with the purpose of smelling the scent of medicine in the alchemy furnace.
"What a purple elixir." Li Ling saw a purple elixir emitting rays of rays of light in the flames of the alchemy furnace. The rays of light were like gauze, overflowing from the inside of the alchemy furnace.
Li Ling stretched out one hand, and the Purple Immortal Pill floated out of the elixir furnace and fell into the palm of Li Ling's hand. Li Ling opened his palm and saw that the Purple Immortal Pill suddenly lit up with thousands of rays of light, indicating that the pill was completed.
It can actually make the surroundings glow with color.
The purple elixir was truly extraordinary. Li Ling was still reluctant to take such a powerful elixir.
Putting the purple elixir into his sleeve, an unusual sound of thunder suddenly came from the mountains and fields. Hundreds of miles away from here, there were dark clouds and dense thunder and lightning.
Li Ling raised his eyes and opened his field of vision. There was someone over there who was going through a tribulation.
"It's the first-level Immortal Emperor who is going through the tribulation." Li Ling was secretly surprised. Thunder flashed over there, and it looked exactly like the last time the Sword Master went through the tribulation.
Li Ling flicked his hand, and the Heavenly Quan Sword suddenly grew in size. Li Ling stepped on the fairy sword and flew towards the place to overcome the tribulation.
The place to overcome the tribulation is a hundred miles away, and it would take Li Ling an hour to fly.
An hour later, Li Ling flew ten miles outside the Tribulation Land and looked at a group of people waiting below. Xiaoxiao and Hei Xiao were among them!
Li Lingfei landed. When Hei Xiao saw Li Ling coming, he immediately came up to meet him. He smiled and said, "Ling, you're here too."
"Well..." Li Ling nodded.
"Ling Ling, you didn't leave." Xiaoxiao frowned.
"No, I have some things to do recently. As soon as I finished the things, I saw someone crossing the tribulation here, and I guessed it was the emperor." Li Ling looked at the place where black clouds gathered. The mountains here were vast and the clouds were dense!
boom……
Several black thunders fell, and Li Ling was surprised. Why was the thunder that struck the emperor this time black thunder, while the thunder that struck the sword master last time was purple thunder?
"The black thunder is more powerful than the purple thunder, which shows that the emperor's strength is higher than that of the sword master." The black dragon's voice sounded in Li Ling's mind.
"Does it mean that the stronger you are, the more severe the thunder punishment you will experience?" Li Ling said in surprise.
"You can say that, but most loose immortals will suppress their own strength and release all their strength when they wait for the tribulation. This can offset part of the thunder power." Heilong said.
Boom...
Loud noise!
The entire mountain peak began to shake, and black thunder poured down, like nine mysterious lightning bolts. Li Ling was secretly surprised. This time, Li Ling's eyesight could completely see what happened when the nine lightning bolts fell.
It turns out that each of the nine thunders is stronger than the other, and the second thunder is twice as powerful as the first thunder, so the ninth thunder is nine times as powerful as the first thunder.
The mountain peak was directly blasted into pieces and leveled to the ground!
Rocks flew away, and the crowd here used their immortal energy to bounce the rocks away.
Among the people watching, the eldest prince Gu Ren was also there. However, this generation of Immortal Emperors only had two sons.
Among the rocks, a ray of golden light rose into the sky. The emperor's immortal armor was completely shattered, and blood dripped all over his body. It was the emperor who had been severely injured after nine thunder punishments. But as long as he could survive, it would be a success in overcoming the tribulation. The emperor
Without saying much, he split the void in the sky and left without saying a word.
Li Ling has experienced two tribulations, and both were undoubtedly successful. As far as Li Ling is concerned, as long as he has immortal armor and knows how to suppress his strength, he can successfully overcome the tribulation.
"It is actually quite simple to overcome the tribulation in the first heaven. However, it becomes more difficult as you go to the later stages. For example, I used so many magic weapons to overcome the tribulation in the seventh and eighth heavens, but I still couldn't block the last mysterious thunder."
The shadow of the black dragon appeared, folding his arms and thinking about the past when he was overcoming the tribulation.
"The emperor has been successfully promoted. Brother, it's time for us to discuss who will inherit the throne of emperor." Gu Ren walked towards Hei Xiao and said with a gentle smile to Hei Xiao.
"Of course we should have a good discussion." Hei Xiao said with a smile.
But everyone knows that the successor to the throne of emperor may not be so easy to decide. The competition for the throne of emperor has always been quite cruel. Unless one party kills the other, fighting for the throne of emperor does not require any brotherhood at all.
Although Gu Ren looks kind on the outside, in his heart he has long been torn into pieces by Heixiao. A confrontation between the two brothers is inevitable. It is dangerous to talk about feelings in a place like the fairy world.
"Before he left, my father specially told me that he wanted me to inherit the imperial city and serve as the emperor of the imperial city. How could I live up to my father's wishes? Brother, I'm sorry. The discussion about the emperor's affairs may become tentative.
That's it." Gu Ren said with a chuckle.
Hei Xiao said with a faint smile: "It is impossible for my father to temporarily appoint an emperor. He has always relied on his strength to speak. Although you are my eldest brother, I will not show mercy. Brother, we will see you on the battlefield."
Hei Xiao led Xiaoxiao and everyone and turned around and left.
The fight for the position of emperor is the beginning of the confrontation between Hei Xiao and Gu Ren.
"You are not overestimating your own capabilities. Originally I wanted to leave a way for you to survive, but it seems that now you don't value your own life." Gu Ren snorted coldly and said with a cold light in his eyes.
Returning to Hei Xiao's palace, Hei Xiao was sitting on the chair in the middle. Sitting on both sides were Hei Xiao's very powerful and capable men.
Judging from the seating arrangement, the closer the person is to Heixiao, the stronger the person is.
A middle-aged man in green clothes sitting next to Heixiao raised his hands and said: "Master Heixiao, Gu Ren is arrogant and domineering. I have tolerated him for a long time. We will kill him completely this time to put his mind at ease."
Just hate."
"Gu Ren is my eldest brother after all. Killing him does require some mental preparation." After all, Hei Xiao still cared about the brotherhood.
Hei Xiao looked at Li Ling who was sitting at the end and said, "Ling, you shouldn't get involved. You will leave tomorrow."
"You are in such a difficult situation now. How can I leave? I will stay to help you." Li Ling responded.
Hei Xiao was slightly moved, but he still knew the cruelty of war, so he shook his head and refused and said: "You'd better leave. This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. I'm afraid that you will be implicated. Once something happens, when the time comes,
I felt guilty."
"What will happen? If I put on the immortal armor, can anyone still hurt me?" Li Ling said.
"Immortal armor?" Those people sitting around Heixiao all looked at Li Ling.
Only a few people who came back from the wilderness knew about Li Ling's immortal armor.
Moreover, those people seemed to be Hei Xiao's cronies, but most of the people sitting here were those in power in the imperial city, equivalent to generals.
Hei Xiao controlled one-third of the Imperial City's troops, but Gu Ren controlled two-thirds of the Imperial City's troops. In terms of military strength, Hei Xiao was not as good as Gu Ren.
Hei Xiao was not sure of victory, so he didn't want to involve Li Ling.
"Lord Heixiao, he has immortal armor. If someone with immortal armor helps us, our chances of winning will be greatly improved." A soldier said with enthusiasm.
"Sit down, Ling. He is not from our Imperial City. He has no obligation to help us fight against Gu Ren." Hei Xiao said.
Li Ling admires Hei Xiao's personality very much, and Li Ling is willing to help such a person. Such a person is worthy of trust.
"Hei Xiao, didn't you say back then that there was a way to improve my strength as soon as possible? In this case, if you haven't fulfilled your promise, then I will not leave the Imperial City." Li Ling said in a roundabout way, preparing to stay.
reasons.
"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to help you fulfill my original promise now. Hey, just take it as a joke." Hei Xiao said helplessly.
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. What's more, as you are a prince, you must pay more attention to your verbal promises. Your words will cause a lot of noise, so your promises must be fulfilled." Li Ling said.
Hei Xiao was slightly startled, knowing that what Li Ling said was not to ask for punishment, but to become law-abiding and want to stay.
"Ling... you..." Hei Xiao was speechless.
"I will not leave until you fulfill your promise. Everyone, Ling will take his leave first. He is tired and wants to rest." Li Ling yawned and turned back to prepare for a good sleep. In order to refine
After receiving the purple elixir, Li Ling could not sleep a wink for a month.
Although there is no need for loose immortals to sleep, Li Ling has lost a lot of immortal energy this month, and sleeping can make up for the lost immortal energy.
"Lord Heixiao, how could you promise such a thing in the first place?" A middle-aged soldier asked doubtfully.
Hei Xiao just sighed slightly. He didn't think much about it at that time. He just wanted Li Ling to come to the Imperial City as a guest. How could he have thought of today's catastrophe.
After returning to the room, Li Ling lay on his back on the bed, resting his arms on his pillow, looking at the ceiling above his head, and fell asleep unconsciously. The feeling of fatigue made Li Ling fall asleep quickly.
When Li Ling woke up, he found that his nose was a little itchy. As soon as Li Ling got up, he sneezed and rubbed his nose. Li Ling opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Xiaoxiao who was enjoying himself.
"Xiaoxiao... you are so naughty. You dare to tease me when you have nothing to do." Li Ling rubbed her nose and said.
"Hey, I just want to wake you up. You are sleeping like a dead pig. If you were sleeping in the wild like this, you would have been stabbed to death thousands of times." Xiaoxiao sighed slightly.
"Come on, I won't sleep in the wild. It's because I know I'm safe in this mansion, so I can sleep peacefully." Li Ling stretched and got off the bed with his shoes on.
Li Ling sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Ling Ling, you are so stupid, you still want to stay in Fafa. You have to know that our young master is not that powerful to win this battle. The young master may not be able to protect himself." Xiaoxiao was a little discouraged.
The way.
"Oh, really? The more times like this, the less I can leave. I regard you as friends. Then I will try my best to help you. Don't worry, Hei Xiao will not lose." Li Ling said with a smile.
.
"Hey, I hope that as you said, the young master will not lose." Xiaoxiao felt a little more confident after being encouraged by Li Ling.
"How long have I slept?" Li Ling asked.
"Two days." Xiaoxiao stretched out two fingers and said.
"Has the war started?" Li Ling asked.
"Not yet. So far, Gu Ren's side is still very quiet, and he hasn't made any attacks on us." Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, holding her chin.
"It seems that Gu Ren is not a reckless man." Li Ling said.
"Gu Ren is not a reckless man. He is also quite strategic. Otherwise, two-thirds of the Imperial City's troops would not be under his control," Xiaoxiao said.
If two-thirds of a city's military strength is under the control of one person, then this person is quite extraordinary.
"It seems that two days have passed and Gu Ren has not launched an attack. He may be planning something." Li Ling said.
"It may be that they are preparing an army. In the battles of the Imperial City in the past, a large number of immortal soldiers were killed. The scenes were tragic and shocking. Normally at this time, the Imperial City would be empty, and everyone would run away." Xiaoxiao said.
At this time, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Is Ling here?" It was Hei Xiao's voice.
"I'm here." Li Ling replied.
With a creak, Hei Xiao came in with a sad look on his face.
"In the past two days, half of my soldiers have defected to Gu Ren." Hei Xiao could not even raise his brows. Such defections often occur in wars.
"Could they all join the stronger side because they see no hope of victory?" Li Ling asked.
"Most likely." Hei Xiao said.
Li Ling secretly nodded and said: "Hei Xiao, you do lack some experience in military affairs. As a leader, you must unite people's hearts, but you have shaken the morale of the army. The most important thing is that you are not decisive enough in doing things."
"What should I say?" Hei Xiao sighed slightly, seeming very tired.
"Just like when I said I wanted to stay and help you, you should have agreed quickly and not gotten involved in any emotions. On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to be emotional. People who use emotions will often lose.
Unfortunately, those soldiers may have betrayed you and taken refuge with Gu Ren because they saw this weakness in yours." Li Ling said.
"According to what you say, am I selfish and cold-blooded?" Hei Xiao frowned.
"That's not the case. A cold-blooded person cannot make people surrender to you. What you have to do is to seize all the conditions that are beneficial to you. You have to work hard at the right time, place, and people." Li Ling said.
"What should I do?" Hei Xiao sighed.
"The entire army needs people to manage it, and those generals are not your trusted ones. Take back the military power of all the generals and replace them with your trusted ones." Li Ling said.
"This is not good. My cronies are not very strong, and they simply cannot make those immortal soldiers obey their orders." Hei Xiao said.
"Then arrange for them to join the army and place them next to the general. If there is wind blowing on the grass, report it immediately. If there are betrayers, capture them immediately and deal with them according to military law." In this fairy world, few people would insist on this kind of military.
Strategy, everyone is fighting for numbers and strength.
"It seems a bit troublesome." Hei Xiao said.
"The control of the army itself is very troublesome, and they are all checking and watching over each other. If the soldiers are allowed to take over the power, they can do whatever they want. They can help you today, but they can betray you tomorrow. At that time, the morale of the military will be weakened.
If you are shaken badly, you will be isolated and helpless." Li Ling is by no means an alarmist.
Black Xiao felt cold sweat break out down his spine. Listening to Li Ling's analysis, the situation was very unfavorable for Black Xiao.
"Centralizing power immediately is your main task at the moment. Taking back military power will also be very beneficial to you." Li Ling said.
"But those generals will not hand over their military power to me." Hei Xiao sighed slightly. (To be continued...)
