Chapter 431: The whereabouts of the mirage, meeting the piano demon for the first time
"Six thousand miles northeast of Luhua Island, the deepest part of the mist is hidden in the valley.
Level 6 mirage nest..."
After reading the contents of the jade slips, Xie Duanyang remained silent for a while and pondered to himself.
Opposite him, a middle-aged male cultivator tried his best to remain calm, but his eyes and tense body still gave him away.
"It is difficult for my fellow Taoist to find out where this beast is."
Xie Duanyang put away the jade slip, looked at the male cultivator with a pleasant look, and began to ask for details.
"But how do fellow Taoists determine that this snake has level six cultivation?
Moreover, I remember that according to the records of the East China Sea, there are no spiritual veins near Wuyinou, and it is surrounded by heavy fog all year round, so few monks have always gone to this place, right?"
After swallowing his saliva, the male cultivator hurriedly explained.
"Reporting to the Master, the disciple was also chased by the Iron-backed Eagle of the first four levels, and he had no choice but to escape inside, hoping to use the fog here to block his sight.
It happened that the mirage came out to look for food, and the eagle killed it with one bite.
Of course, adults know that although the iron-backed eagle is not a strange species, it still has an iron back and steel feathers, has good defense, and has some natural restraint against ordinary snakes and pythons.
Whether it can be hunted down easily, it is naturally not an ordinary fifth-level mirage snake, and it is very likely that it has a sixth-level cultivation level."
Xie Duanyang nodded, agreeing with his guess, and took out a bottle of elixir from his storage bag and threw it to him.
Grabbing the elixir bottle, the male cultivator was surprised and happy.
Generally speaking, such intelligence tasks must be verified to be true before they are completed and sent to your hands.
He never expected that the other party would be so happy and settle the matter for him on the spot.
"I forgive you that you don't dare to lie about this matter."
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Xie Duanyang chuckled softly, then his smile faded and he asked lightly.
"But you haven't sold this information to anyone else before, right?"
"Disciple is determined not to do it."
After hearing this, the middle-aged male cultivator's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly waved his hands.
“This demon has a profound cultivation level, and at the very least, it will take several Dan-forming seniors to attack it together to kill it.
My disciple's cultivation is shallow, how can I have the chance to meet such an expert..."
Sensing the changes in his emotions and thoughts, Xie Duanyang nodded again, waved his hand to send it away, and then began to think about it secretly.
When the "Hundred Colored Shadowless Armor" on his body was first refined, he specially found the skin of a twelve-hour insect, because he was attracted by the insect's talent of changing its color and appearance according to the weather and environment.
Use it to refine it into armor, which is naturally capable of concealment.
Coupled with the technique of masking Qi, even those who are higher than a great realm will find it difficult to detect themselves.
Over the past decades, it has indeed made a lot of achievements, especially saving a lot of trouble along the way from the Mulan Grassland to Dajin.
Now that he is refining the spirit armor, Xie Duanyang naturally wants to retain this effect.
It's just that the cultivation level of the twelve o'clock insect at the beginning was not high, and it was quite insufficient as the main material of the magic weapon.
Moreover, this insect is indeed rare, and even in the world of Dajin cultivators, it is not easy to find a suitable one.
Fortunately, this was the East China Sea, and he quickly found a replacement.
In addition to being close to water by nature and possessing magical powers to call for wind and rain, the Jiaolong clan is also physically strong and tough.
But there is a mirage dragon among them. It is not victorious with its physical body, but its magic of illusion is unparalleled by few.
As for this mirage snake, it is said that it has inherited some of the blood of the mirage dragon, and its natal demonic energy is blurred and changes in various ways, seeming to be there and not being there at all, and there are many subtleties in it.
It has the same abilities as the Twelve-Time Worm, except that one prefers to actively release and confuse others, while the other passively changes with the environment.
If the snake skin and demon elixir are used to refine weapons, they will more or less inherit this ability and can be used to refining the magic robe.
but……
Recalling the shape of the mirage in the jade slip, Xie Duanyang was undecided for a moment.
His vision and knowledge are naturally much higher than that of the Foundation Establishment disciple.
The other party thought that this mirage snake might be a sixth-level monster, but in Xie Duanyang's view, it could not be said that it already had a seventh-level cultivation level.
In that case, it will be more difficult.
Although he was only in the early stage of forming a pill, he still had some confidence in defeating him in a head-on confrontation.
After all, the mirage is not very powerful in terms of killing, and he possesses a strong evil spirit, and has practiced the "Dayan Jue", the Heart Lamp Technique, etc. to a good level. All three of them have a certain degree of restraint against illusions.
But whether it can be left behind is still hard to say.
The intelligence of level seven monsters is basically not inferior to that of humans, not to mention that mirages are the more cunning and alert types among monsters.
I want to set up a formation to lure him out, trap him and kill him, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
What's more, mirage snakes are not solitary monsters, they often exist in nests.
This snake has such a high level of cultivation, I am afraid that the magic power of its spouse will not be weak.
Xie Duanyang thought to himself that if he faced off against both sides at the same time, he would need to use almost all his strength to win evenly, let alone kill the snake to obtain the treasure.
"Would you like to make an appointment with three or two more people?"
Tapping his fingers on the table, Xie Duanyang murmured to himself, while replaying the pill-forming monks he knew in his mind.
But soon, he couldn't help but sigh.
As one of the few weapon refining masters in the Hundred Islands League, there are many people who want to make friends with him, but when it comes to how deep the friendship is, it really can't be counted.
Although I don't think they will plot against me, I still feel uneasy.
When it comes to people with whom I have good friendships and whom I can trust, I would of course give priority to the Mishima monks such as Gong Qingyu, who fought side by side with me to fight against the beast tide.
But among them, Ling Yutian's strength was pretty good, and Xie Duanyang didn't want to show too much strength in front of him.
This is not easy to handle.
In fact, Bingwanzhou and Meng Shentong are not weak in strength, and they both seek their own needs. If they don't have any hatred towards each other, it would be more appropriate.
After pondering over a cup of tea, Xie Duanyang stood up, released a magic weapon and flew away leisurely.
Although mirage snakes are rare, the Hundred Islands Alliance controls nearly half of the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm after all, so there is a high probability that such things still exist.
And Luo Gui has been in Zhurong Hall for many years. Even if he doesn't have it himself, he should have heard about some elders, envoys, etc. who may have this collection.
I didn't go directly to him to inquire, but issued the mission first.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The main reason is that if you know that you need it and have this material, even if you don't open your mouth so that you can gain blood, you will still owe a big favor.
But now that I have some specific information and a way out, I might as well inquire about the deal again.
If the price you pay is not too high, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste of time to spend several months just hunting the head monster.
"Mirage, this kind of monster is rare.
And the junior brother pointed out that it needs to be at least level five..."
After exchanging a few words of greeting and listening to his request, Luo Gui tapped her temples with her fingers and began to think hard.
About halfway through burning the incense, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"During the beast wave more than thirty years ago, there was an elder in the alliance who killed a mirage snake. It was said that he had a seventh level of cultivation.
It's hard to say whether the materials are still in hand.
Moreover, the relationship between that senior and Red Master has never been very harmonious, and he has a very stubborn temper. Even if he is still here, I'm afraid it will be hard for you, junior brother, to ask for a deal..."
After hearing this, Xie Duanyang was happy at first, then frowned and handed over his hand again.
"No matter what, I still have to ask my senior brother for help."
Luo Gui waved his hands and pretended to be angry.
"You and I, senior fellow apprentices, why are you so polite?
That elder has a disciple who has some contact with me, but I can ask him to inquire.
It will take ten days at most to give Junior Brother an accurate message."
After hearing his promise, Xie Duanyang felt relieved, said goodbye and left, then headed to Fangshi to see if he could try his luck.
Seeing his figure disappear, Luo Gui's face turned into a kind smile.
First, he took out the prohibition token to completely activate the palace-protecting formation and sealed the door, and then said in a deep voice.
"Although the relationship between Elder Mo and Red Master is not friendly, it cannot be called enmity.
I am 60 to 70% sure of persuading him to trade materials, why did Brother Gongsun ask me to say this to Zhang?"
Following his voice, a young man slowly walked out of the quiet room at the back. He was dressed in a white shirt and had a jade flute inserted sideways at his waist.
He is personable, handsome, and looks more like a scholar than a monk.
It's just that his temperament is cold, and he feels vaguely repulsive to others.
He didn't answer immediately. He sat down where Xie Duanyang was and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.
After closing his eyes and tasting it, the young man in white put down his tea cup and asked leisurely.
"Brother Luo, what do you think of your junior brother's magical power?"
"He has been making elixirs for less than ten years, and I heard that he has promised to refine the magic weapon spirit ship for others, which requires his energy, and there is also a tide of beasts.
Even the magic weapon is not refined by oneself, but refining by others.
According to the theory, the power of the law should not be surprising, but since Brother Gongsun said so, there is certainly a reason.
Could it be that the exercises this person practices have some special magical powers?"
Luo Gui's eyes sparkled, but his temperament and expression became more restrained and calm.
"I don't know what kind of magical powers he has, but I can conclude that this person's spiritual consciousness is absolutely powerful and sharp. Even compared to me, he is only one or two behind.
If what I expected is correct, he should have been aware of my presence when he transmitted the message to you. It's rare that he didn't show anything strange at all.
It seems that the city’s mind is not easy either.”
The young man named Gongsun still had the same calm expression, but this time Luo Gui could not remain calm, and his expression changed drastically.
"impossible.
With your magical power, Brother Gongsun, how can you detect it in the early stage of forming a pill, not to mention that the formation here also has the function of forbidding spiritual consciousness, and can at most exert one-tenth of its original function..."
However, Luo Gui was obviously very convinced by him, and as he spoke, his voice became lower again.
"But since you judge it like this, it seems to be true after all. It seems that my junior brother is indeed extraordinary.
I just don’t know, Chi Shi can’t see it.”
"After all, Chi Tianyang's cultivation realm is there, it's impossible for him to be completely unaware of it.
But after his Nascent Soul, he gave up his original technique and switched to the "Red Yang Righteous Fire Technique".
Although it is easier to increase mana and even break through to the middle stage, it still lacks a lot of mystery. I'm afraid it won't be clear and my eyesight will not be much better than mine."
The boy in white made his judgment very confidently, as if he didn't think he was that powerful of this powerful figure in the Hundred Islands League.
Not wanting to dwell on this topic, Luo Gui changed her voice and returned to Xie Duanyang.
"Even so, brother Gongsun, you don't need to do this, after all, you have a special status.
If it leaks out, it will be a troublesome thing, but what are your other plans?"
The young man in white chuckled.
"Three years later, when we explore Yunsheng Ruins, we still lack manpower.
You also said that this person is a casual cultivator from the inland cultivation world and has nothing to do with the Donghai cultivator family, so wouldn't it be perfect?"
Luo Gui licked his lips, feeling moved but a little doubtful.
“It’s not impossible.
Isn't it a bit rough and random to bring him in just based on this?
Moreover, there are many dangers in Yunsheng Ruins, so he may not be willing to go there."
"That's why I asked Brother Luo to step in and cut off the mirage material first, and then we can continue the conversation.
As for the level of its methods, I will look for opportunities to test them."
The young man in white robe turned the jade flute, his original indifference disappeared, his eyes were eager to try, showing a trace of fanatical fighting spirit.
————
"That guy is pretty awesome."
In the light, Xie Duanyang sighed softly.
Luo Gui's weapon refining skills are also ranked among the best in the East China Sea cultivation world. It's not surprising that he knows some powerful people, even the old monster Nascent Soul.
But unfortunately...
He could be sure that that person was definitely not a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was still at the level of Dan Formation.
This is not easy.
Xie Duanyang has met a few people who are great masters of alchemy, such as the leader of the Shenbing Sect, the old monster of the Hidden Moon Sect, Shen Guang, the abbot of Jinguang Temple, and Xiao Siwei, the commander of Mingzhou Tiance...
They are all characters who are only half a step away from condensing the Nascent Soul. They all have their own characteristics, but compared to this person, they seem to be somewhat lacking.
It's not that their cultivation and magic power are weak, on the contrary, they should still be above the first line, but they lack a special charm.
It was difficult to explain in words, but he had a feeling that this person seemed to be more in line with the principles of cultivation than the previous ones, and he had a much greater chance of becoming a Nascent Soul in the future.
There are not many people like this in the East China Sea, and Xie Duanyang could easily guess who it was.
The Bihai Qin and the Magic Qin are lifeless.
For a moment, he deliberately revealed the opponent's existence, and then took advantage of the opportunity to find out the talisman pen that matched the Shanhai Inkstone to see if he could put it in his pocket.
But the other party seemed to realize that he was sensing something, and immediately withdrew his spiritual consciousness and magic power.
In this case, Xie Duanyang would not be able to do this again, otherwise the deal would not be completed and he would become a powerful enemy.
Since he is now on Fuzhou Island and is familiar with Luo Gui, it is not difficult to create opportunities to meet him again.
After just a few thoughts, Xie Duanyang quickly came up with several ideas.
