Hong Ming was not polite. After carefully checking the recipe, he started refining it directly.
The Red Yuan elixir is an extremely simple type of elixir, used to enhance the magic power of immortals. Among many elixirs, it is the easiest to refine, even simpler than some of the ninth-level elixirs refined before Hong Ming.
Some.
But as soon as Hong Ming refined it, trouble arose.
It took three full hours, but it still failed.
The red element elixir is more difficult to refine than imagined.
"I dare to ask senior, what is the problem with my alchemy?"
Hong Ming asked.
The old man shook his head: "Your alchemy skills are not proficient enough. The spiritual fire helped a lot in refining the elixir before, but when refining this elixir, the spiritual fire is no longer very useful. If you want to refine the elixir, first
This alchemy skill needs to be improved. After you use ordinary earth vein fire to refine the ninth-level elixir, it will be almost enough to refine the elixir."
"I see."
Hong Ming nodded.
The skill of alchemy cannot be faked, and Hong Ming really did not do this well enough.
But this is not Hong Ming's fault. The key is that there is only so much time. Hong Ming wants to practice the exercises and understand the great way, so how can he have so much time to delve into the memory of alchemy.
There is no solution to this matter.
"Thank you, senior."
Hong Ming bowed and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, the old man spoke: "Wait a minute, little brother, are you ready to leave like this?"
"Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
Hong Ming's eyes changed slightly and he spoke.
A smile appeared on the old man's face: "My little brother got my advice, used my alchemy furnace, wasted my immortal materials, and left like this. Is there such a good thing in this world?"
"Senior, what do you mean?"
Hong Ming's expression turned gloomy.
"Either you stay and sign a contract and become my apprentice, or you are thrown into prison by the city guards." The old man said coldly, and the pleasant look on his face disappeared.
When Hong Ming saw this scene, a sneer appeared on his face:
"Senior, I'm afraid you are joking. I was invited by senior to refine the elixir. I am not begging senior. How can I start this waste? If nothing happens, I will leave first.
.”
As Hong Ming spoke, the light on his body shone and flew directly towards the city gate.
This time, green light shone on Hong Ming's body, preparing to escape from this ghost place first.
This place is so weird.
An old man who runs a stall has so many tricks.
Hong Ming fled away, and the old man just stood there with a smile on his face.
Hong Ming was about to leave, but at this moment, the gate at the city gate was blocked.
The immortal weapon on the body of the guard above the gate erupted with astonishing light and charged towards Hong Ming.
"Come here to cause trouble in my fairy city, you are so tired of living."
The leading general scolded.
A mysterious and direct light appeared around the general's body, and the pressure shocked everyone.
Even in this small fairy world, this general is still unrivaled.
As soon as he took action, the surrounding space froze, as if suppressed by infinite power, making it impossible to escape.
"This is... the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique!"
A look of horror appeared on Hong Ming's face.
Hong Ming practiced the avenue of strength and was extremely familiar with the avenue that generals practiced.
This general actually practices the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique, and it seems that he has broken the first level of taboos and reached the fifth level of the Mysterious Technique. At this level, he has already condensed the power space in his body.
Strength has grown by leaps and bounds.
Normally, the Demon King and the Xuanxian level powerhouses would not be their opponents.
Hong Ming was caught by this invisible hand and had no time to escape.
Buzz!
Before Hong Ming could say anything, black and white fairy weapons appeared all around and were wrapped around Hong Ming's limbs.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Ancient, for taking down this little thief. You dared to run away like this after destroying my immortality." At this time, the old man came out and thanked the leading general.
General Nagu was obviously very familiar with this man. He exchanged a few words casually and then issued an order:
"Push this kid into a dungeon and lock him up for five thousand years first."
"yes!"
The two guards drove Hong Ming towards the depths of the fairy city.
Hong Ming wanted to speak and resist, but he couldn't.
There are four rings on the limbs, each one is black and white. Imprisoned by these four immortal weapons, all the energy and spirit of Hong Ming's body is locked in the physical body.
All the magic power, supernatural powers, and avenues in the whole body are imprisoned.
Completely unable to move.
He was led by the two people and quickly reached an extremely remote corner of the fairy city.
After entering the prison, the surrounding formations became even more terrifying.
Even the surrounding space was restricted.
Two city guards handed Hong Ming to a jailer. The jailer didn't say much and pulled Hong Ming to the dungeon.
"Stay well here. What you did is not a big deal. You will be locked up for thousands of years and you will be released. If you dare to cause trouble, be prepared to be locked up for tens of thousands of years!"
The jailer said, throwing Hong Ming to the ground and closing the prison door.
Hong Ming felt helpless and became afraid from the ground, and began to observe the prison in this place.
The prison was made of unknown black ore, and there were extremely mysterious rune formations on it. Hong Ming took a quick look and felt that it was extraordinary, and the doors around the prison were made of unknown fairy materials, emitting
With a faint golden color, Hong Ming couldn't recognize what kind of fairy material it was.
"This place should be the outermost part of the dungeon, and there are cells inside."
Hong Ming thought in his mind.
But the most troublesome thing is not this place, but that it will get dark in two hours. What should we do next after it gets dark?
There is obviously a strange and incomparable power in this fairy city. It is difficult to feel during the day, but at night, it will burst out. This is the secret of the immortal city.
Hong Ming entered the fairy city. Although he didn't find any clues, he knew the difference here.
The fourth level of enlightenment is understood by God.
Hong Ming clearly felt the difference in this fairy city.
"Just stay and watch!"
Hong Ming was a little helpless.
This place is not a dead end.
The lord of Panlong City came in and walked out before, indicating that this place is not really a certain death situation.
Although Hong Ming is worried, he will not despair.
Standing up, Hong Ming stood inside the golden iron window and looked around at other places. There were two rows of cell doors, with about dozens of them. Hong Ming scanned for a week and found that all the cell doors were empty.
Empty.
"This is not normal..."
Hong Ming's eyes shrank, and he had a premonition of misfortune in his heart.
Time passes slowly.
Two hours flew by.
The atmosphere around him was changing rapidly.
In the void, the originally permeating fairy spirit quickly turned into a black death aura.
This deathly aura appeared out of nowhere and spread quickly.
Hong Ming sat inside the iron window and felt the breath of death coming from all directions. Hong Ming's extremely proud body was slowly being corroded in the face of this breath of death.
All life was turned into death.
"What the hell is this?"
Hong Ming felt despair in his heart.
At this moment, the physical body has no resistance at all.
Acquired Lingbao also has no effect.
More and more death energy poured into Hong Ming's body, soul and magic power.
The physical body began to change, and the soul was also affected. Hong Ming's body couldn't help but tremble.
But at this moment, in Hong Ming's Dantian Qi sea, the chaotic magical power flickered slightly, and a chaotic air flow escaped, and it exploded instantly. The death energy in Hong Ming's body, soul, and mana were all forced out at this moment.
retreat.
The chaotic air flow exudes a faint light, isolating the death energy from outside.
"Fortunately, the magic of chaos works."
Hong Ming took a breath.
The air of death is strong.
Finally at a certain moment, the jailer walked by outside wearing daytime clothes.
But at this moment, Hong Ming was frightened.
During the day, this jailer is surrounded by the aura of immortal spirits. He is a living person, and his cultivation level is not low. He is at least an earthly immortal, and he has several immortal weapons on his body.
But now when I pass by, the jailer exudes the aura of death.
Death from the inside out.
The whole person turned into a corpse.
This frightened Hong Ming so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
"What the hell is this place?"
Hong Ming was stunned.
When the jailer came back, Hong Ming shouted loudly to attract the jailer's attention.
But the jailer turned around, glanced at Hong Ming, turned around and continued to look back.
The jailer still has a weak consciousness, which is different from the corpse. But the strange thing is that at this time, the consciousness of the jailer, who is full of lifeless energy, has not been completely lost.
"This death energy can actually allow the dead to maintain a certain degree of consciousness?"
Hong Ming was shocked in his heart.
The jailer left quickly.
Hong Ming spent the night in jail anxiously.
Daytime comes soon.
The jailer came to check again.
Hong Ming took the opportunity to ask:
"Sir, how did you sleep last night?"
The jailer had a smile on his face: "No one dares to cause trouble in the fairy city. There is nothing to worry about. Naturally, I slept well and could practice for a while at night."
"Oh, sir, can you feel the deathly aura after you finish it?"
Hong Ming asked in a low voice.
"Death Qi? That's true. What our city lord cultivates is the avenue of life and death. Everyone in the fairy world knows it. Everyone knows that it is normal for the fairy city to have some death Qi, but this death Qi is extraordinary for tempering the body and magic power.
You can try it after you go out."
The jailer was not polite and spoke directly.
Hong Ming was shocked and said again:
"Brother, you must be able to get a lot of benefits from working in this place, right?"
"Benefits? You're overthinking it."
The jailer didn't leave either. He sat next to him and started chatting with Hong Ming:
"If this were in other fairy cities, people like me would have to search for some treasures and techniques, but our city lord hates these things the most, and the management is very strict. For tens of millions of years, no one has dared to do this.
Yes, it is precisely because our Fairy City treats things fairly that so many families and casual cultivators come to settle here."
"Also, for what happened to you, you can just pay some immortal materials. Why do you have to squat here for thousands of years?"
Hong Ming smiled sheepishly when he heard this.
How to explain this.
This old man is too deceitful.
The jailer was also bored, no one came in on weekdays, so he started chatting with Hong Ming.
"Brother, is there no one else in this place besides me?"
"Why not? You are the only one in this dungeon, but if you keep walking forward, you will be connected to the Tianlao. There are more than a dozen people in the Tianlao. But if you can go to the Tianlao, they are all extremely vicious people.
The Lord of the City is locked in a prison and cannot escape."
The jailer chuckled and boasted.
"Brother, if you are idle, you are idle. I am good at refining elixirs. Although the success rate of refining elixirs is not high, ordinary ninth-level elixirs are still OK. Why don't I find an elixir to come over and I will make the elixirs, and then I will get the benefits
How about we split it equally?"
Hong Ming spoke.
The jailer hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"This doesn't count as exploiting you. Even if you are discovered, it doesn't matter."
The jailer went back, and after half a day he came out with various fairy materials and elixirs.
After Hong Ming took it, he began to make elixirs.
Naturally, there was no rush in refining the elixir. Hong Ming took the immortal materials and elixirs and stayed behind the bars while the jailer also left.
Darkness falls again.
Only this time, Hong Ming discovered something strange.
This immortal material also changed in the dark night, turning into an immortal material exuding the aura of death. The jailer continued to patrol, as if he did not remember what happened during the day, and looked around expressionlessly.
The next day, Hongming made alchemy.
But this time, the alchemy reached a critical moment and failed again.
This time, Hong Ming finally understood the reason.
It's not that Hong Ming's alchemy skills are too poor, but the problem with this immortal material.
This immortal material contains death energy, and this death energy cannot be seen normally, but when Hong Ming refines it at a critical moment, the death energy will burst out and affect the elixir.
"The transformation of this fairy city into an immortal city should be related to the city lord here. But in that war, the lord of the fairy city should have died. Could it be that after the death of the city lord, this place would undergo such strange changes?"
Hong Ming was a little confused.
This inference seems to be correct.
When the city lord is there, the death energy is restrained by the city lord, so it is naturally harmless to other immortals.
But after the city lord died, the death energy exploded, and everyone here turned into the living dead.
People are alive during the day and dead at night.
Even during the day, the same thing is repeated every day.
He is sane, but his sanity has been affected.
At night it is like refining a corpse.
"It's too weird to stay here. I'd better find a chance to go out."
Hong Ming thought for a while and was ready to leave.
But it's hard to leave.
General Nagu said that this place must be closed for five thousand years, so it must be five thousand years.
It's very difficult to get out during this period.
During the day, Hong Ming stopped the jailer:
"Brother, what should I do if I want to go out?"
"Why are you doing this? You should have paid the immortal materials earlier and left. But now that you are here, you have no choice. You can only stay for five thousand years before you can leave. This is the rule of the city lord. Even if you are a direct descendant of a big family, you can't leave after arriving in the dungeon.
, you must also obey the instructions of the Lord of the City."
The jailer was also helpless.
"Well, brother, I want to take a look inside the prison. I wonder if that's possible?"
Hong Ming asked again:
"Didn't you say that although the prison is a place for felons, the conditions there are excellent? Now that I'm here, can you let me take a look."
"No, no, Tianlao has its own rules. They cannot be broken."
The jailer refused immediately.
"Brother, hasn't anyone come to this place for millions of years? In this case, it's okay for me to go in. Aren't there the skills and insights carved by the strong man before his death? If I understand it, I will
Let’s talk to my brother.”
"this……"
The jailer hesitated, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "You can only go in for three days, and you can't stay for a long time."
