Ni Kun took the shadow crystal and injected it with mana. A projection of his blood demon form immediately appeared in the air in front of him.
The projection was lifelike and lifelike, with the body, appearance, demeanor and temperament all exactly the same as when Ni Kun transformed into the Blood Demon.
After a few breaths, the blood demon form turned into a tiger king with radiant hair, as if red flames were rising, a majestic body, a fierce and powerful aura, and a pair of thunder-bones, Qingfeng.
Feathered giant wings.
After a few breaths, the Tiger King transformed back into the Blood Demon. This time, the Blood Demon also had a pair of wind and thunder wings behind it.
Next to the projection that changes every few breaths, there are lines of text suspended, which are the reward descriptions for the wanted Ni Kun.
Seeing that just by providing real and effective clues, he could get half a million spirit stones, Ni Kun couldn't help being slightly surprised:
"Such a big deal? Does Xu Yueqing hate me to the core?"
Zhao Xiulin said seriously:
"It's not Senior Sister Xu who wants the master, it's Elder Wan who ordered the arrest. The reward was also given by Elder Wan."
"Elder Wan?" Ni Kunqi said: "I have no enmity with her, why does she want me?"
Zhao Xiulin lowered her voice and said:
"Elder Wan has some guesses about the origin of the ghost market..."
When Wan Yaer told the Jindan True Successors about the origin of the ghost market, they sent Zhao Xiulin and other little foundation-building demon girls away, but left one Ning Feiyan behind.
Wan Yaer did not issue a gag order after that, so when Zhao Xiulin asked Ning Feiyan about it, Ning Feiyan did not hide it and told Zhao Xiulin everything.
Now, Zhao Xiulin told Ni Kun what Ning Feiyan told her, Wan Yaer's explanation of the "sea-opening hairpin", and the speculation about the origin of the ghost market.
Her words contained a huge amount of information. Ni Kun thought silently for a while before speaking slowly:
"Nine Tribulation Gods, the treasures left behind by the resident Earth Immortal, the ghost market that is suspected to be the remnants of the Nine Netherworld Prison, the evil evil that has existed since 30,000 years ago...the origins of this are really incredible!
"If it's as Elder Wan has guessed... then the origins of the Ghost Market Boss who can suppress the Ghost Market and control all the demons and evildoers may be really astonishing..."
It's no wonder that Elder Wan tried to catch him, the "new uncle" of the owner of the ghost market, and use him to find out the secrets of the ghost market.
However, Elder Wan did not know that although Ni Kun successfully worshiped the ghost market leader and entered the bridal chamber, he did nothing right that night and could not do anything to a human-shaped black mist.
He knew nothing about the origin of the ghost market.
Before he heard Zhao Yaonv's words, due to his limited knowledge and experience, his guesses about the origin of the ghost market were not even as far-reaching as Wan Ya'er's.
"Master, Elder Wan's wanted order was not only sent to the Chihuang Kingdom, but also to the entire South China Sea. With the reward offered by Elder Wan, the entire South China Sea Immortal World will probably be tempted by it. Senior Sister Xu and four other Jin
Dan Zhenzhuan will also lead a team to search for you... How should we deal with this matter?"
"how to respond?"
Ni Kun chuckled lightly, put away the photo crystal, and said calmly:
"Don't worry. The person wanted by Elder Wan is the Blood Demon. What does it have to do with me, Ni Kun? As long as the Blood Demon doesn't show up again, even if Elder Wan and the Void Demon Girl turn the entire Scarlet Huang Kingdom and even the entire South China Sea upside down, they will never even think about it.
catch me."
In addition to the blood demon form, the tiger demon form and "wind and thunder wings" cannot be used easily.
However, Ni Kun has many means.
Even if he can't move the various, unpredictable and most convenient blood demon form, he still has three magical transformations available: sky ghost transformation, fire demon transformation, and ice demon transformation.
Besides, in the next year, he originally planned to live in the Immortal Workshop, concentrate on training, and wait for the skills of Kurong Twin to cool down.
Even if the lost life is restored a year later, Ni Kun has no intention of going out to wander.
The seven black dates in the ghost market caused his cultivation to skyrocket overnight. His original mana power once reached as many as 560 drops, and he was only 40 drops of his original mana before he was in the later stage of foundation building.
Now, after replenishing the more than ten drops of consumed original mana, and taking one red flame pill every day, it only takes nearly two years to condense the original mana to 600 drops, and advance to the later stage of foundation building.
In this case, of course he must work hard to improve his cultivation first.
During this period, since he will not go out to fight with others, of course there is no need to use magical changes, let alone the possibility of being exposed.
However, God's calculations are not as good as those of man.
After only ten days of peace, Ni Kun's plan to live quietly in peace was declared bankrupt.
Zhao Xiulin came to his cave again.
This time, she was honest and came to the door during the day.
"I'm sorry, Master. Senior Sister Xu ordered me to recruit subordinates and set out with her to search and capture the Blood Demon..."
Zhao Xiulin made a sad face and said pitifully:
"It was Elder Wan's order for Jin Dan to lead the team to hunt down the Blood Demon. Senior Sister Xu took Elder Wan's order to mobilize people, and even Senior Sister Ning had nothing to say..."
Ni Kun was also helpless.
His current identity is that of Zhao Xiulin's subordinate.
Even Zhao Xiulin herself has to be recruited and dispatched by Xu Yueqing, let alone his small subordinate?
but……
I caught myself, this is really a bit ridiculous.
Ni Kun felt funny and asked:
"Who did Xu Yueqing recruit?"
Zhao Yaonv said:
"They recruited me and my subordinates."
Zhao Xiulin once had more than a dozen foundation-building casual cultivators under her command.
But as soon as Xu Yueqing arrived, she almost wiped out a wave of her men, leaving only Mei Jingshu, and the weapon refiner Ye Fei, the "male and female sword" Tang Jian, who understood Zhao Xiulin's hint and ran away in advance.
Now, Ye Fei and Tang Jian, the two foundation-building guest ministers, are still hiding away from the limelight and have not returned to Jiulianxianfang. They have not even contacted Zhao Xiulin. I don’t know if they were caught by Wan Yaer and slipped away to the ghost market to exchange resources.
Already.
Under Zhao Xiulin, only the "talisman master" Mei Jingshu, the "alchemist" Ni Kun, and the "killer" Heisha who temporarily joined the boss's house to avoid Wan Yaer's raid and arrest were left.
"Xu Yueqing is so unkind. He caught a sheep and plucked it to death."
Ni Kun complained and asked: "What about Ning Feiyan? Does she also want to act with Xu Yueqing?"
Zhao Xiulin said: "Elder Wan arranged for Senior Sister Ning to follow Senior Sister Huang Qimeng. Senior Sister Huang is one of the three true disciples of the golden elixir who came with Elder Wan this time. She is walking in Yaowang Valley and is Elder Wan's confidant."
Having said this, she mysteriously took out an item and handed it to Ni Kun:
"Senior Sister Ning originally planned to send me over so that she and Senior Sister Huang could take care of me, but Senior Sister Xu was determined not to let me go. Senior Sister Ning couldn't help but beg Elder Wan for such a trivial matter, so she gave me this treasure...
…”
Ni Kun took it and took a look and saw that it was a jade talisman three inches long and one inch wide. There were many mysterious runes on it, but the brilliance was restrained and he could not feel the slightest fluctuation of energy.
However, when he looked carefully, he saw that the light around the jade talisman seemed a little dim, as if it was absorbed and swallowed up by the jade talisman. Even after staring at the jade talisman for a long time, even his eyes and mind felt like they were being absorbed and swallowed up by the jade talisman.
the illusion.
Ni Kun quickly avoided looking at the jade talisman and asked:
"What kind of talisman is this?"
"This is a 'Hong Kong Talisman'."
Zhao Xiulin said with a smile:
"It was refined by Elder Wan himself and given to Senior Sister Ning for self-defense. This talisman can activate a whirlpool of chaos, swallowing up and strangulating all spells, magical powers and even spiritual weapons that attack you. Even the golden elixir magic weapon can block it.
Even a major cultivator with a perfect middle-grade golden elixir cannot break this chaotic hole cyclone with one blow."
"Ning Feiyan is really attentive to you." Ni Kun said with emotion: "If she had had this talisman when you left Fumiao Mountain, she would have given it to you without hesitation."
When Zhao Xiulin was suppressed by Qi Lingyun and exiled to Chihuang Kingdom, Ning Feiyan herself did not have a big backer. Moreover, due to her humble background, cold and arrogant temperament, and average popularity, her family was not as rich as Zhao Xiulin's.
At least at that time, Zhao Xiulin still had a talisman on her body that was presented to her by the ancestor of Qinye State.
Ning Feiyan, on the other hand, had nothing but a natal spiritual weapon that he had emptied out of his savings.
Now that Ning Feiyan is so prosperous, she is even willing to give the life-saving talisman given by Yuanying boss to Zhao Xiulin...
I always feel that Ning Feiyan's friendship for Zhao Xiulin goes beyond the normal friendship between close friends and even sisters!
Ni Kun felt a little weird and muttered secretly in his heart, but did not say it out loud. He only asked Zhao Yaonv:
"Senior Sister Ning gave you this life-saving treasure, what will she do herself?"
Zhao Xiulin giggled and said:
"Senior Sister Ning got a fortune in the ghost market. Her body, cultivation, and soul have all been greatly improved. Her cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building. She also got a life-saving secret treasure in the ghost market that is more powerful than this talisman."
Ni Kun nodded slightly, took Zhao Xiulin's little hand, and patted the "Hong Kong Talisman" into her palm:
"Since it is your senior sister Ning's intention, please keep it well."
Zhao Xiulin was stunned: "Ah? But, I want to give it to the master to protect the master!"
Ni Kun straightened his face: "Are you looking down on your master? My ability to save my life is beyond your imagination!"
Although the master looked like he was scolding her, Demon Girl Zhao felt sweet in her heart and obediently put away the Hun Dong Talisman.
…
Two days later.
On the school grounds of the Boss's Mansion.
Xu Yueqing was wearing a fiery red dress with gold edges, a phoenix crown on her head, and her hands behind her back. She looked at the three casual cultivators in front of her with her usual aloof and proud posture like a fire phoenix.
Wearing a cherry-colored palace dress, she is graceful and graceful, with delicate eyebrows and charming charm. Mei Jingshu, a medium Taoist foundation, early foundation building cultivation, ice-based skills, and relatively pure mana, seems to have good foundation.
Not bad.
Black clothes, black robes, an ice mask, and a pair of ice crystal gloves on his hands, revealing only a pair of indifferent gray eyes, the "killer" Hei Sha. His true face cannot be hidden from Xu Yueqing, and she can see through his disguise at a glance. But Hei Sha
Sha is willing to pretend, but Xu Yueqing is too lazy to expose it. In the early stage of foundation building, the ice attribute technique... is a superior Dao foundation?
Being born as a casual cultivator, being able to build a high-quality Taoist foundation can be regarded as an extraordinary person, and his luck is at its peak, which may be beneficial to this career.
Ni Kun, the "alchemist" who is upright in green clothes, tall and straight, with handsome features, gentle and elegant temperament, yet heroic. He practices Qingmu Changchun Jue, is in the middle stage of foundation building, and has a medium Taoist foundation...
This weak technique can actually build a moderate Taoist foundation. This person's talent, luck and luck may be the best among the three, which may be of some benefit to this profession.
After examining Zhao Xiulin's three subordinates, Xu Yueqing was quite satisfied. She was about to say something when she couldn't help but glance at Ni Kun again - it was not that she was fascinated by Ni Kun's appearance and temperament, so she became interested.
Heart.
With her cultivation, arrogance, and even preferences, she would not be interested in a mere foundation-building cultivator.
No matter how good the figure is, no matter how handsome the face is, no matter how good the Taoist priest is, he still can't attract her attention.
The reason why she couldn't help but take another look at Ni Kun was simply because she had an inexplicable feeling that this casual cultivator actually gave her a very subtle sense of familiarity.
She couldn't tell where this sense of familiarity came from.
Obviously this is the first time she has seen this person...
Just when I was thinking about the origin of this feeling of familiarity.
Zhao Xiulin asked from the side:
"Senior Sister Xu, are you ready to go?"
Xu Yueqing withdrew her thoughts and suddenly became alert:
"When did I become so suspicious? A mere cultivator with an average Taoist foundation and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment still practices a weak technique like the Aoki Technique... I actually have to waste my energy on him?
"It seems that the trip to the ghost market, especially the blood-clothed devil, has had an impact on me that has not been eliminated to this day... This is not good! If this continues, the blood-clothed devil will sooner or later turn into my inner demon!
"
This problem must be solved, otherwise the road ahead will be greatly hindered.
As for the solution, she did have an idea.
That is to ask Elder Wan for a bowl of "Ten Thousand Soul Soup".
That's right, Elder Wan got more than one bowl of Ten Thousand Souls Soup during his trip to the ghost market. The little old lady who sold Ten Thousand Souls Soup last time offered Xu Yueqing a mid-range price for the sake of opening her business for the first time in many years.
Golden elixir monk, exchange for a bowl of Ten Thousand Souls Soup.
As a result, the business was not completed.
So when Elder Wan left, the business of Wanhun Soup was still open for the first time, and the little old lady still offered the same price to Elder Wan.
And Elder Wan really has a middle-grade golden elixir in his hand.
When she swept through Jiulian Mountain, she did not capture the middle-grade golden elixir.
But since he knew the trading rules of the ghost market, how could Elder Wan not make preparations in advance?
She didn't just bring three golden elixir true disciples with her on this trip.
One of her storage instruments that can store living things is also sealed with four people brought from the sect. Their lifespan is about to expire, and they have exhausted all kinds of life-extending methods. They can no longer extend their lives and there is no hope.
Nascent Soul's middle-grade golden elixir.
And on the way to Chi Huang Country, he captured many deep sea monsters in the deep sea.
The number and quality of monsters in the sea have always been far greater than those on the islands and land. There are also a lot of golden elixir-level monsters, but they usually lurk in various deep sea areas. They can fight against large amounts of golden elixirs by virtue of their geographical advantages. Only Yuanying
Boss, if you can, capture some.
Elder Wan relied on this resource to obtain a lot of "Ten Thousand Soul Soups".
But such a precious treasure is of great use even for Yuan Ying's overhaul, so it is impossible to hand it out to just a mere golden elixir.
If you want to drink a cup of Ten Thousand Souls Soup, you have to make a great contribution, or exchange it for a valuable enough treasure...
After being slightly lost in thought for a while, Xu Demon Girl suppressed her thoughts and withdrew her gaze from Ni Kun. No longer disturbed by the inexplicable sense of familiarity, she nodded slightly to Demon Girl Zhao and gave a faint order:
"lets go!"
Zhao Yaonv released the flying boat and asked Xu Yueqing to board the boat first. Then she led Ni Kun and three other subordinates to board the flying boat one by one, and asked Xu Yueqing for instructions:
"Senior Sister Xu, where should we search?"
Xu Yueqing put his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"All the way south."
"Yes." Zhao Yaonv responded with a crisp voice, activated the flying boat, took off into the sky, and flew all the way south.
After flying more than a thousand miles south, Zhao Xiulin pointed to a mountain in front of her and said:
"Senior Sister Xu, there is a family of casual cultivators there. Do you want to go to that family to search?"
Xu Yueqing said calmly:
"Ignore it and go straight south."
Zhao Yaonv was a little strange. Even if she encountered high mountains and deep valleys along the way, Xu Yueqing never used her spiritual thoughts to search. Now that there was a family of casual cultivators in front of her, she still had no intention of stopping to search...
Didn't he say that he would search for the Blood Demon?
Even if it's aimless, looking for a needle in a haystack, it should still be a show-off, right?
However, Zhao Yaonv didn't ask any more questions.
The Blood Demon is her master. He is on the flying boat right now, standing behind Xu Yueqing. Xu Yueqing is doing his part and coping with the problem, which is of course the best.
So on the way, no matter whether she encountered a family of loose cultivators, a mortal city, or deep mountains and valleys, or large rivers and swamps, Demon Girl Xu did not speak, and Demon Girl Zhao did not stop, and directly drove the flying boat, heading south all the way.
.
After flying like this for two days and two nights, the coastline was almost in sight, and Zhao Yaonv just asked for instructions:
"Senior Sister Xu, if we continue to go south like this, we will reach the sea."
Xu Yueqing hummed and said lightly:
"Then let's go to the sea first."
Zhao Yaonv expressed curiosity:
"Sister Xu, do you think the blood demon has escaped to the sea?"
Xu Yueqing did not hesitate: "Of course."
Zhao Yaonv asked again: "The sea is vast and boundless, and there are countless forbidden areas...how should we search?"
Xu Yueqing had an expressionless face and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this, just follow my instructions."
Zhao Yaonv couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she continued to push the boat forward.
Half a day later, the flying boat had arrived on the vast sea, and Xu Yueqing gave the order:
"Turn to the southwest."
Zhao Yaonv followed her instructions and adjusted her direction slightly.
At this time, Ni Kun couldn't help but start muttering to himself:
What exactly does the Void Demon Girl want to do? How come her behavior makes it seem like she has a clear goal and is not searching aimlessly?
But why didn’t I know that I hid at sea?
Along the way, the virtual demon girl behaved even more strangely. She seemed to have a clear goal and kept instructing Zhao Yaonv to adjust her direction. She flew over the sea for more than ten days and arrived at the edge of a famous forbidden sea area.
That sea area covers a radius of a million miles, and the sky above is thick with thick clouds all year round, with lightning and thunder, and the wind howling like weeping.
Above the sea, huge waves more than ten feet high are roaring all day long, and there are also countless tornadoes and hurricanes connecting the sea and the sky.
If it were just the year-round storms, tsunamis, thunderstorms and other natural disasters, Foundation-Building monks could be careful and travel among them.
But the problem is that there are extremely powerful sea monsters lurking in the forbidden sea area. If a large number of golden elixirs bump into them, they will have to retreat.
Zhao Yaonv originally thought that Xu Yueqing was going to break into this forbidden sea area. Just as she was thinking about how to evade, she listened to Xu Yueqing's instructions:
"Turn left and fly close to the edge of this forbidden sea area."
Zhao Yaonv breathed a sigh of relief and followed her instructions, flying carefully next to the edge of the forbidden sea area.
At this time, on the right side of the flying boat, there are horrifying scenes of clouds stacking like mountains, thunderstorms rolling like forests, hurricanes hitting the sky, and huge waves. But on the left side, there is a sunny, calm and warm scene. There seems to be an invisible boundary across the sky.
Between forbidden sea areas and normal sea areas.
Ni Kun and Mei Jingshu were both amazed to see such a spectacle, but their dark gray eyes were indifferent, and the ancient well had no waves, as if they had already seen similar spectacles.
After flying around the forbidden sea area for more than two days, an island suddenly appeared in front of us.
The island is neither big nor small, with a radius of about a thousand miles. There are mountains, lakes, and dense woods on the island, but there are no human traces on it. It is a desert island.
Xu Yueqing ordered: "Go to that island."
When Zhao Yaonv flew over the island in her boat, Xu Yueqing directly took over the control of the airship, activated the airship, and swooped down towards a dense forest in the center of the deserted island.
After passing through the forest tops and entering the dense forest, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground that was dozens of feet long, three to five feet wide, and bottomless at a glance.
The Void Demon Girl didn't hesitate, and directly activated the flying boat, plunged into the crack, and descended hundreds of feet in one breath, arriving at the bottom of the crack, which was so dark that it was impossible to see even one's fingers.
On top of the flying boat, soft white light bloomed, illuminating the surrounding area.
The Void Demon Girl swept away her thoughts and drove the boat to a long and narrow crack on the cliff.
Until then, she finally turned her head, glanced at Zhao Xiulin, Ni Kun and others, and said:
"Your creation is here. This place is a secret realm that I accidentally discovered when I traveled to the South China Sea many years ago. At that time, I was unable to open the ban on the entrance to this secret realm. Even after I advanced to the late Golden Core stage, I was still unable to erase the ban. But this
This time, I came prepared and I will definitely be able to open this secret realm!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to grab it, and a bare dark gold knife handle appeared out of thin air in his palm, with not even half an inch of blade remaining.
It's the handle of the "Array-Breaking Golden Sword"!
"As expected!" Ni Kun saw this and sighed inwardly: "She really has a clear goal... This trip was originally to explore the secret realm!"
Previously, Ni Kun learned that the Void Demon Girl asked Zhao Xiulin to help collect the materials for refining the weapon, so he guessed that the Void Demon Girl wanted to repair the handle of the "Array-Breaking Golden Sword" traded in the ghost market.
At the same time, it was also speculated that the Void Demon Girl exchanged the hilt for the purpose of exploring a certain secret realm.
At that time, Zhao Yaonv thought that Ni Kun was interested in the secret realm, so she volunteered to find out more, but Ni Kun stopped her and made it clear that she had no interest in exploring the secret realm.
But he didn't expect that he just wanted to practice quietly and didn't want to take risks. Xu Yaonv, under the guise of searching for the blood demon, caught him openly and took him, Zhao Yaonv and Mei Jingshu with her.
, Heisha came to explore the secret realm...
The entrance to this secret realm is so restricted that even the Void Demon Girl in the late Golden Core stage cannot open it, so she has to go out of her way to find the treasure to break the formation, which is at least the first level of Nascent Soul.
The purpose of the Void Demon Girl bringing four minor foundation-building cultivators is of course self-evident.
"This witch is really only friendly to beautiful and mighty beasts. She treats other monks very cruelly and cruelly! Alas, last time they captured me as a mount, and this time they want to use me as pathfinder cannon fodder... How can this imaginary witch?
Are you always at odds with me? Is it true that she and my elder Ni Kun really have such a bad relationship?"
Ni Kun squinted his eyes, looked at the graceful curves of the virtual demon girl's back, and thought to himself:
"If you, the evil witch, are really unkind, when the time comes, don't blame me for being unjust!"
In a head-to-head encounter, even if Ni Kun uses all his methods, even if the Void Demon Girl loses her magic weapon, with his current cultivation level, he still cannot be the opponent of the Great Demon Girl in the late Jindan period. At most, he can only rely on magical changes and wind and thunder wings to protect himself.
He ran away, but was unable to save the others.
But……
After the last full moon night, Ni Kun stayed in Jiulian Xianfang for more than ten days. After being arrested, he kept on the road for more than half a month. Counting the time, another full moon night is almost here...
At this time, the virtual demon girl glanced at Zhao Xiulin and others again and said:
"You don't have to worry. Although this trip may be risky, with this formation-breaking golden sword, all restrictions in the secret realm will not pose a threat to us. In the secret realm, any treasure you can get
, and let you take it for yourself, I will never covet your harvest."
This sounds quite generous, but the four people present laughed in their hearts:
We are just building the foundation. Of course, you, the golden elixir, will not covet the treasures we can get. What you can see with your eyes may not be possible with our abilities!
Xu Yueqing can also guess the thoughts of the four people, but she is too lazy to pay attention to it. Anyway, she is the biggest at the scene, and she controls the situation with one hand. So what if Zhao Xiulin and others are unwilling to give in?
How could he escape from her grasp!
At that moment, Xu Yueqing jumped off the flying boat, flew directly towards the narrow crack on the cliff, and shouted: "Follow me, everyone!"
Zhao Yaonv, Mei Jingshu, and even Heisha all looked sideways at Ni Kun.
Zhao Yaonv has the "Hundred Cave Talisman" and her master by her side, so she actually has no fear. Even if she really falls into a certain death situation, her master can merge her into the sea of blood, which at least guarantees her survival.
Hei Sha knew that Ni Kun's methods were extraordinary. When he was still in the Qi Refining Realm, he could control the Fairy Sound Demon Girl in the Foundation Establishment Realm and destroy the four major families of Jiulian Immortal Fang in one fell swoop. Therefore, Hei Sha knew Ni Kun's methods.
Sha is also quite trustworthy.
However, Mei Jingshu had no idea about Ni Kun's true abilities. Furthermore, she had always been steady, advocating peaceful cultivation of immortality, and had never explored a secret realm. This time, she would explore a secret realm of this level for the first time...
Mei Jingshu can barely keep calm at this moment, her face remains unchanged, and she doesn't break into a cold sweat. This is because she has an extraordinary character.
But looking at Ni Kun's eyes, there was inevitably a hint of fear.
When Ni Kun saw this, he smiled at her, held her soft and delicate hands, and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen. Just stay close to me later."
After saying that, He Sha gave Zhao Xiulin a reassuring look, took Mei Jingshu's hand, and followed the Xu Demon Girl.
Zhao Xiulin put away the flying boat and followed closely with Heisha.
After flying into the narrow crack on the cliff, there was first a winding, dark and sloping natural tunnel. After more than a hundred feet, a damp stone wall with moss marks appeared in front of it, as if it had reached a dead end.
But this is just a restriction placed by the Void Demon Girl to prevent others from discovering the secrets of this place.
She stopped in front of the stone wall and raised her hand to make a few seals. A flash of light flashed on the stone wall, and the curtains opened to both sides, revealing a grotto with a radius of half an acre.
On the wall of the grotto, there is a piece of ink-colored crystal with a radius of three feet, which faintly emits the sound of tides. There are also traces of thunder and lightning surging inside, giving people a feeling of extreme danger.
Xu Yueqing stopped in front of the ink-colored crystal, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and revealed a faint smile:
"This is the restriction on the entrance to the secret realm. If you break this restriction, you can get a glimpse of the true face of the secret realm."
Zhao Xiulin said: "Senior Sister Xu, it seems that this restriction is connected to the forbidden sea area through the seabed leyline, and it continuously extracts the power of tidal thunder from the forbidden sea area?"
Xu Yueqing glanced at Zhao Xiulin unexpectedly:
"Can you actually see that?"
Xuan thought of something again and suddenly said:
"By the way, you, Qianye Zhao, have a special bloodline power and are particularly sensitive to the earth's spiritual energy. Yes, the entrance to this secret realm is restricted by drawing power from the forbidden sea. It not only has the power of tides and thunder, but also
It has the power of a storm. It is so powerful that if any ordinary golden elixir dares to touch it, it will be instantly turned into powder by the forbidden counterattack."
Zhao Xiulin said: "If you give me enough time, maybe I can find the flaw in the restriction..."
Xu Yue said calmly: "It's not necessary."
She raised the hilt of the golden sword and injected magic power into it.
As the magic power was injected into it, the dark gold hilt immediately glowed with a bright color, and then a faint golden light bloomed from the mouth of the hilt, faintly outlining the shape of an illusory blade.
Xu Yueqing continued to inject mana. As the rich and pure golden elixir mana was poured in, the golden light emitted from the handle became more and more dazzling, and the shadow of the blade became more solid and thick.
After a full quarter of an hour, Xu Yueqing's face turned slightly pale, and the shadow of the blade finally solidified.
Now, whether you look at it with the naked eye or perceive it with your spiritual mind, the golden knife in Xu Yueqing's hand is an intact thick-backed broadsword, but the luster of the blade and the handle are slightly different.
Xu Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief, came to the ink-colored crystal, grasped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, raised the golden knife above his head, and slashed at the ink-colored crystal.
There was a flash of golden light, and a deep crack appeared in the three-foot-wide ink-colored crystal with a click.
Then there was an endless crackling sound, and more fine cracks radiated around the crack made by the golden knife, spreading in all directions.
In just a few breaths, the dark crystal that had blocked Xu Yueqing for many years and could easily destroy the golden elixir to ashes was covered with fine cracks, and finally exploded into pieces with a loud bang.
When this formation-breaking golden sword is at its peak, it can break all the restrictions of the god-level formations.
Although it is now in dilapidated condition, the blade is completely broken and lost, leaving only the bare handle. However, after some repairs by Xu Yueqing, some of its power has been slightly restored. With her cultivation, she can break through the Nascent Soul-level formation restrictions.
It's no longer a problem.
now.
After the black crystal shattered, an artificial tunnel appeared. At the end of the tunnel, you could see a three-foot-high brass door carved with various dragons and sea beasts.
Looking at the lifelike dragons and sea beast carvings on the brass door, Zhao Xiulin couldn't help but say:
"Is this place a secret realm left by the Dragon Clan?"
Finally breaking through the entrance restriction that had troubled him for many years, Xu Yueqing was in a good mood and said with a smile:
"At least half of the secret realms and mansions in the South China Sea are left by the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea. It is not surprising that this secret realm is related to the Dragon Clan."
After saying that, he raised his chin to Ni Kun: "You, go in and take a look."
She brought Zhao Xiulin and four others here with the intention of using them as pathfinding stones. Now that the entrance restriction is open, the pathfinding stones should come in handy.
Of course, there is also a certain order in which the pathfinding stones are dispatched.
Of course, Zhao Xiulin had to be the last one. Even if necessary, for the sake of Ning Feiyan, she would have to help Zhao Xiulin and try her best to save her life.
Of the three remaining casual cultivators, the male cultivator Ni Kun must be sent to take the lead.
Ni Kun had already anticipated this and used a low-grade spiritual weapon-level shield that Zhao Xiulin had prepared for him.
Just as he was about to enter the tunnel, Mei Jingshu suddenly stopped him: "Wait!"
Um?
Xu Yue glanced at Mei Jingshu with cold eyes, and the majesty of Jindan Daxiu immediately made Mei Jingshu's scalp explode and send chills down her spine.
But she still mustered up her courage and said bravely:
"I, I just want to give fellow Taoist Ni some self-defense spells..."
With that said, he sacrificed his natal spiritual weapon "Ice Mysterious Pearl", applied a layer of "Mysterious Ice Armor" to Ni Kun, and then took out a few Foundation Establishment Realm Defenses at the bottom of the box that he had finally made after being promoted to Foundation Establishment.
The magic talisman blesses Ni Kun with all kinds of defensive techniques.
Xu Yueqing snorted lightly, but did not put any more pressure on Mei Jingshu, letting her do whatever she wanted.
Soon, Ni Kun stepped into the artificial tunnel with a cautious attitude, armed with a scorching spiritual defense technique, wearing Xuanbing armor, and a spiritual shield suspended in front of him.
Zhao Xiulin and Mei Jingshu stared nervously at Ni Kun's back, sweating for him.
There was also a hint of concern in Heisha's indifferent gray eyes.
However, what was a little surprising was that there were no traps or formation restrictions in the tunnel. Ni Kun arrived at the brass gate unimpeded.
This brass door looked ordinary and had no forbidden aura, but Ni Kun did not touch it easily. He stopped in front of the door and looked back at Xu Yueqing.
It's time for Xu Yueqing, who is holding the formation-breaking golden sword, to come on stage!
Regardless of whether there are hidden restrictions on this door, just strike it with a knife.
However, Xu Yueqing calmly ordered him: "Push the door."
The formation-breaking golden sword is very powerful, but every time it is swung, it consumes a lot of mana.
The Void Demon Girl has lost her natal magic weapon that she has worked hard to refine for more than 300 years, and her strength has dropped by at least 30%. Of course, she has to use her magic power sparingly. She must first let the cannon fodder test whether there is any restriction on the brass door, and if so, what its nature is.
, form, how powerful it is.
Only after testing out all these, will she personally take the stage and use the most appropriate amount of mana to break down the brass door.
When exploring Qixingfang and the Ghost Market, Ni Kun had long seen her attitude towards casual cultivators. She was consuming them without blinking an eye, showing off the demeanor of a demonic enchantress, without any trace of the innocence and gentleness she had when getting along with a big tiger.
amiable.
Therefore, Ni Kun was not surprised by the Void Demon Girl's instructions. He just sneered in his heart, held up his shield, raised his right hand, and with mana surging in his palm, he pushed towards the brass door.
The mana gushing out of the palm turned into a big blue hand and pressed against the brass door.
This click did not trigger any restrictions.
But Ni Kun, who didn't really try his best, didn't push the door open.
The big blue hand transformed by mana pressed on the door and pushed it for a while, but the brass door didn't move at all.
Ni Kun looked helpless, turned around and apologized to Xu Yueqing:
"Fairy Xu, this door is very strong. Ni cultivates the Green Wood Technique, and his magical power is not strong enough. He really can't push it open..."
Xu Yueqing snorted coldly and scolded mercilessly: "Trash!"
At the same time, I thought to myself, if my big tiger were here...
Well, that's not my big tiger, that's a big liar who deserves to be cut into pieces and stripped of his skin and cramps!
However, even if he is a liar, with the power of his tiger demon body, he might be able to push open this door easily.
Thinking of the big tiger, the evil fire rose in Xu Yueqing's heart again, and her mood suddenly became extremely bad. Her spiritual thoughts surged out towards the tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel, it turned into an invisible big hand, grabbing Ni Kun first.
He pulled it open and then punched the brass door with his spiritual thoughts.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the entire brass door shook slightly. Finally, it creaked, and a shallow gap opened back.
Xu Yueqing retracted her thoughts, put her hands behind her back, her face sank slightly, and she shouted coldly:
"Push again!"
Ni Kun had no expression on his face, returned to the door, pushed out with his palm again, and pressed his big blue hand transformed by magic power on the brass door.
This time, Ni Kun, who seemed to have tried his best with clenched teeth and bulging veins, finally pushed the brass door open.
The brass door continued to retreat, and the crack in the door blasted open by the Void Demon Goddess' thoughts became wider and wider.
The virtual demon girl tightly grasped the formation-breaking golden sword, stared at the doorway that gradually opened, and was ready.
Zhao Xiulin took out her harp and held up the "Five-Colored Cloud Mask" given to her by Ni Kun.
Mei Jingshu also sacrificed the "Ice Mysterious Pearl" and gave herself, Zhao Xiulin, and Heisha a mysterious ice armor.
Heisha also took out the "Xuanbing Sword" that he exchanged with Ni Kun for an ice crystal willow branch.
Everyone was waiting in full formation.
The brass door was finally completely opened.
But nothing unusual happened, only wisps of mist escaped from the doorway, dispersed in the tunnel, and quickly dissipated.
Ni Kun stood in front of the door, focusing his magic power on his eyes. He looked into the doorway and saw that inside the doorway, there was a long corridor made of pure crystal. In the crystal corridor, there was a five-color glow that obscured the eyes.
, making it impossible to see the end of the corridor at a glance.
Ni Kun released a ray of spiritual thought and carefully probed into the crystal corridor, but his spiritual thought was quickly melted by the five-color glow, and the detection distance was not as good as the naked eye.
At this time, the Xu Demon Girl also brought Zhao Xiulin, Mei Jingshu, and Heisha to the door.
She held up the golden knife, narrowed her phoenix eyes, and stared at the corridor for a while. Judging from her expression, she probably couldn't see the end of the corridor at a glance.
After that, she also released her spiritual thoughts and probed into the corridor, but soon, a solemn look appeared in her eyes, and it was obvious that her spiritual thoughts also melted into the five-color glow.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yueqing looked sideways at Ni Kun again.
If you catch me, this sheep will be killed for dear life, right?
Ni Kun didn't give her a good look this time. He glanced sideways at the Void Witch and let out a cold snort.
This reaction made the virtual demon woman slightly startled——
When did a mere minor cultivator who cultivated the Qingmu Jue and placed it in Fumiao Mountain and was only qualified to be a furnace cauldron dare to behave like this in front of me?
But before she could get angry, Ni Kun strode into the corridor.
Xu Yueqing could only suppress the anger in her heart and glared at Ni Kun's back secretly:
This kid dares to use foundation building to violate the golden elixir, he simply doesn't know how to live or die!
Even if he survives exploring the path, I will give him a good look after he finishes exploring the secret realm!
Under Xu Yue Yao's angry glare, Zhao Yaonv, Mei Jingshu, and Hei Sha watched with worry or concern. Ni Kun walked farther and farther in the crystal corridor, and his figure was gradually obscured by the five-color glow.
, becomes blurry.
Suddenly, Ni Kun's back, which had become very blurry, stopped suddenly, turned around, and waved to the four people:
"Come in, it'll be okay."
After saying that, without waiting for the four people to respond, they turned around and continued to stride forward.
When Zhao Xiulin and Mei Jingshu heard this, they entered the crystal corridor without hesitation.
Heisha only hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Zhao and Mei entering, he followed them in.
Xu Yueqing instinctively felt that something was wrong, but somehow, Ni Kun's voice echoed repeatedly in her mind:
"Come in, it'll be okay. Come in, it'll be okay. Come in, it'll be okay..."
Well, it's okay, this crystal corridor is very safe!
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Yueqing stepped into the crystal corridor like a ghost.
After the last Xu Yue Qing also entered.
The brass door behind him suddenly closed tightly with a bang...
