Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Seven: The Old Monster
"This is the magic crystal core. It's really an interesting thing."
Li Yizhi held a red crystal the size of a pebble and studied it with great interest.
In front of him, lay the body of a red flame demon wolf, its head cut open and blood flowing on the ground.
This red flame demon wolf didn't open its eyes and actually wanted to eat Li Yizhi, so he easily dealt with it and took the demon crystal core.
This magic crystal core is very interesting, at least in Li Yizhi's opinion.
Although it is a crystal, it contains pure fire aura, or a magical element of fire attribute.
In fact, whether it is spiritual energy or magical elements, they are actually the vitality of heaven and earth, they just have different names.
As soon as Li Yizhi thought, the fire element in the magic crystal core poured into his body crazily.
After a while, there was a clicking sound.
The originally bright and beautiful magic crystal core became dull and shattered into five or six pieces.
Li Yizhi felt his body carefully and found that the usefulness of this magic crystal core was almost negligible, which was roughly equivalent to one or two hours of his practice.
But if a little adds up to a big sum, it's still a big sum.
Li Yizhi memorized the magic crystal core and continued eastward, arriving at a small town before noon.
This town is called Qingshan Town and belongs to the State of Chu.
Because it is close to Shiwan Mountain, there are a large number of warriors who specialize in hunting monsters here, so it is quite prosperous.
He randomly found a chamber of commerce that purchased magic crystal cores, and Li Yizhi sold a fist-sized blue magic crystal core, which was a golden-eyed jade sculpture that he casually hunted on the road, worth 100,000 gold coins.
With the shopkeeper personally seeing him off, Li Yizhi walked out of the chamber of commerce.
Because the magic crystal core he just sold was a fourth-level magic crystal core, which also meant that he was at least a fourth-level cultivation level or above.
For such a master, the shopkeeper must naturally serve him carefully.
"It turns out that big eagle is a fourth-level magical beast."
"Its strength is approximately equivalent to the blood core realm. In other words, the virtual core realm is equivalent to the fourth level here."
Li Yizhi secretly compared them.
For the next three days, he stayed in Qingshan Town, fully integrating himself into this world, and at the same time learned the common words of this world.
After that, Li Yizhi left Qingshan Town and came to Pingyang City, the capital of Chu State.
When he came to Pingyang City this time, he naturally came to see the old monster from the Chu royal family, who was Emperor Xuanzu of Chu. He had three purposes:
First, you can enter the royal ancient library and read various cultivation secret books;
The second is to use the power of the royal family to collect magic crystal cores and restore strength as soon as possible;
The third one also wants to use the power of the royal family to find out the whereabouts of the fragments of the gourd of good fortune.
When the gourd of creation collapsed and scattered across the five realms, it is estimated that four or five pieces were also scattered in the human realm.
And the human world is so vast that if he only relies on his own efforts, he doesn't know when he will be able to collect it all.
In fact, before this, Li Yizhi released his acupuncture points to receive information from the world and calculate the whereabouts of the fragments.
But for some reason, he gained nothing, as if the fragments did not exist at all.
Li Yizhi knew that this must be the manipulation of heaven, blocking all the secrets of the good fortune gourd.
Therefore, he could only rely on the power of Chu State.
Chu State is one of the three great empires in the East, so it naturally has the ability to help him collect the whereabouts of the fragments of the gourd of creation.
…………
night.
Pingyang City, Royal Palace.
In the northeast corner, in a small remote hall.
The old monster Chu Xuanzu was cultivating. He was extremely old, with few hairs left, and he looked like he was about to die.
After a long time, the old monster opened his eyes, which were cloudy and lifeless.
He sighed heavily, feeling unwilling to do so.
He has been stuck at the fifth level peak for a long time, and his lifespan is running out.
If he can't break through as soon as possible, then he will have no choice but to sit down and turn into a handful of loess.
"If you want to rejuvenate your youth, I can help you!"
Suddenly, a clear voice sounded in the hall.
"who!"
The old monster suddenly became furious, and divine light burst out from his originally cloudy eyes.
He quickly looked around, his majestic momentum was rising, and he was ready to take action at any time. There was still a little bit of age there.
Soon, the old monster discovered an ordinary-looking young man standing quietly in front of him to his left.
Although this young man was only in his early twenties, he did not dare to underestimate him at all, and even felt his scalp numb.
Because the other party was standing there, but in his spiritual consciousness, there was nothing.
Obviously, this is a strong man far beyond him!
Li Yizhi smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, you would have died countless times. This time, I am here to make a deal with you."
Although the old monster was still secretly vigilant in his heart, he pretended to be relieved, bowed and said: "Senior, please do whatever you ask, and I will try my best to complete it."
In his mind, such a strong person must be older than him.
It's even possible that this is an old antique that popped up from somewhere.
Li Yizhi did not bother with this issue. He said calmly: "I said, this is a deal. I will help you rejuvenate, and you will do things for me, fairly and justly."
The old monster's eyes lit up. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said hurriedly: "Yes, please give me your instructions, senior."
"Don't be in a hurry, let me rejuvenate you first!"
As Li Yizhi spoke, he flicked his finger, and a bloody ray of light burst out.
The old monster subconsciously wanted to dodge, but before he could act, the blood light penetrated into his body.
The old monster was horrified, thinking that Li Yizhi was plotting against him.
But at this moment, he felt a majestic vitality that could not be described in words, bursting out of his body.
This vitality was so vast that the old monster even doubted whether he would be burst.
Fortunately, although this vitality is majestic, it is also very gentle.
They quickly integrated into the body, and the old monster could feel that his lifespan was rapidly increasing, and his body was also undergoing transformation.
After more than an hour, the old monster changed drastically.
From a dying old man, he turned into a vigorous middle-aged man in his forties.
The old monster looked down at his white and rosy hands, feeling very excited.
He bowed to Li Yizhi and thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for your kindness in reinventing me. Junior Chu Xuan is deeply grateful and willing to help you."
The old monster was once a hero of his generation, and he was the best at judging the situation.
From Li Yizhi's method just now, he knew that the other party was a god-level figure, and squeezing him to death would be like squeezing an ant to death.
For such a being, he could only please him, and maybe he could get more benefits.
As for defense, that's a joke.
What are you guarding against, are you bringing yourself to shame!
Li Yizhi just nodded lightly.
Although his strength was greatly damaged, the essence of his blood remained unchanged.
Even a drop of the blood of a vacuum-shattering warrior has the effect of overcoming heaven and earth, rejuvenating one's youth is a matter of course.
"There are three things I need you to do for me."
"The first thing is that I need to read all the books on cultivation in your Chu country, whether it is martial arts, Taoism, fighting spirit, or magic."
"The second thing is that I need Chu State to do its best to collect various magic crystal cores."
"The third thing is, five days ago, a divine object descended from heaven to the human world. You asked the Chu State to mobilize its power to collect information about the place where the divine object descended. Of course, if you can bring it, that would be even better. I have a heavy reward.
