Hong Qi was startled and looked at the black-robed man: "Fellow Taoist, what you want is too much. Ten fifth-level Yuan Yuan Dan, which is not a small amount, and how can I trust you...
"
"If the city lord doesn't believe it, you can make a slave contract with me and I will be the city lord's slave." The man in black robe said.
"contract?"
The city lord was a little curious: "How to make a contract? You are not a spiritual beast..."
"I will tell you the truth from the city lord, I am a spiritual beast..." The man in black robe has reached this point, and he will not hide it from the city lord. He came here because he heard that the city master is recruiting immortal masters, so he came to try his luck.
If he had ten fifth-level Yuan Yuan Dan, he might be able to expel most of the demonic energy from his body. If he could suppress it, he would be able to live longer, and even have a chance to cure his illness.
He explained his origin to the city lord in detail. After the city lord Hong Qi listened, he finally understood.
It turns out that this fellow Taoist is really a spiritual beast, and it was a magic stone that finally opened his spiritual wisdom, and he achieved his current level of cultivation.
This guy's name is called Demon Stone, and he has no other name. Although he has developed spiritual wisdom, his cultivation has been increasing since then, and he became a great demon god five hundred years ago. But because of his appearance,
By some accident, the evil spirit in the magic stone was not completely refined, and now it exploded again, so it became this ghostly appearance now.
And the reason why he can transform into a human form is that after he became the Great Demon God, he had the ability to transform into a human form, and ordinary people would not be able to tell his original origin.
"Are you sure that the fifth-level Yuan Yuan Dan can resolve the evil spirit in your body?"
City Lord Hong Qi felt that it was a little impossible, even if he returned the Yuan Dan, he could not resolve it.
You may need a sixth-level or even higher-level Yuanyuan Dan. I'm afraid a fifth-level one won't work.
Demon Stone said: "The fifth-level Huanyuan Pill can dissolve part of the evil spirit in my body. Although it is impossible to get rid of all of it, my Taoist magic can also suppress some of it. I estimate that if there are ten of them, it should be able to suppress part of the evil spirit.
Qi, coupled with my Taoism, can at least ensure that I live for at least another five hundred years."
"So that's it."
City Lord Hong Qi thought for a while and then said: "That's all, I think you and this City Lord also have some fate, you can make a contract."
"Thank you, Master."
Magic Stone was overjoyed. He finally got the city lord's approval, and he should be saved.
Soon he punched a black magic stone from between his eyebrows, which was his true body.
It was only the size of a palm, but it looked so terrifying that the sky around the city lord's mansion suddenly turned completely dark.
"Hurry up, don't let others find out."
The city lord Hong Qi was afraid that something else would happen, so he immediately completed the contract with the magic stone. The surroundings of the city lord's mansion recovered a little, and it was not as dark as before.
City Lord Hong Qi said to the magic stone: "These are twelve fifth-level Yuan Yuan Dan, please take it and refine it first. If you have any questions, come to me. The City Lord's Mansion is not suitable for you to stay. You first find one in the city or outside the city."
The place is lurking for a few days.”
"Thank you, Master."
The magic stone received a small bottle, which contained twelve Yuan Yuan Dan that he dreamed of, and left here immediately.
Soon after he left, the city lord's wife came out. She looked at the nearby Tianwen city lord Hong Qi with a solemn look: "Did anyone come here just now? Why is the sky here so dark? The devil's evil spirit
Very angry..."
"No one..."
The city lord Hong Qi didn't know why he didn't tell the truth to his wife this time.
He just sighed: "I received news before that several powerful demon cultivators entered the Holy City. It is probably because of this that such a situation occurred."
"Well, then you have to be careful. Don't go out when you have nothing to do recently. I also have to retreat from time to time, so I won't be able to take care of this." The woman sat on the city lord's right leg, caressing the city lord Hong Qi's face, with a warm look on her face.
He said, "When ten years have passed here, we will leave here, find a deserted land, Qingxiu, and I will give you children."
"Well, they all belong to Madam."
City Lord Hong Qi smiled, but felt a little sad in his heart. To be honest, this was what he had been confused about, why his wife could not conceive a child.
It's been more than a thousand years, and if the two of them haven't done it tens of thousands of times, they must have done it thousands of times.
Why didn't she get pregnant even once, and why did the wife now say that she would give birth to a child by then? Could it be that she would be able to give birth after leaving here?
"Did Master Ye Xian send you the elixir this time?" the woman asked him.
City Master Hong Qi said: "It hasn't been delivered yet, and we haven't gathered much materials yet. We can't exchange for a few pills in the transaction now. Let's get together again after a while."
"Well, you still have elixirs, can you recruit strong men?" the woman asked.
City Lord Hong Qi nodded and said: "There aren't many elixirs left. Let's recruit as many as we can. There are some strong people who don't need elixirs to recruit them. They want to join the city lord's mansion themselves. There is no need to issue elixirs to these people."
"What about the immortal master? They should use elixirs, right?" the woman asked.
Hong Qi sighed: "They must have used the Yuan Yuan Dan to recruit them..."
"Can't you ask Master Ye Xian if he has a sixth-level Yuan-Returning Pill?" the woman suggested, "If you can exchange some sixth-level Yuan-Returning Pills from him, I think the effect will be much better, and you can
I can take it too.”
"I mentioned it to him once before, and he said that he has not yet refined the sixth-level Yuan Yuan Dan. He seems to be lacking a lot of materials, so he asked us to find these materials for him."
Hong Qi said to the woman: "Maybe after he finds all the materials, he can refine the sixth-level Yuan Yuan Dan, and then we can also ask him for some."
"Well, that should be the case. The things he was looking for are all rare medicinal materials."
The woman said to the city lord: "You should also pay attention to resting so late. Don't sit here. Why don't you come in with me to rest..."
She gave City Lord Hong Qi a look, but today City Lord Hong Qi was still concerned about his newly acquired slave magic stone, so he was not in a big mood.
"You go to bed first. I still have some things to do and I have to go to the main hall. I'll come back to you when I'm done." Hong Qi patted her face and asked her to rest first.
"All right."
With a look of resentment in her eyes, the lady went into the inner hall to rest alone.
After seeing his wife leave, the city lord Hong Qi sat in the pavilion, rubbed his temples, and thought to himself: "What happened to me today? Why did I lie to my wife? Ye Chu clearly said that he had a sixth level."
For the Yuan Yuan Dan, also, the magic stone did come just now. Now my Yuan Yuan Dan is no longer enough. Now most of it has been given to the magic stone. Maybe he will still need it. It seems that I have to go look for it.
Ye Chu is confused."
He looked at the inner hall. The magic circle inside seemed to be lit up. His wife must have gone in to rest.
Thinking of this, City Lord Hong Qi stood up and left the City Lord's Mansion.
The main meeting hall of the City Lord's Palace is not in this inner hall, but there are several main halls next to the City Lord's Palace.
However, the city lord Hong Qi did not go to the meeting hall, but went around to Ye Chu's residence.
Although it was already late at night, Ye Chu did not rest and was still reading.
Because the city lord suddenly visited, Ye Chu asked Ji Die who was in the house to go into his world of Qiankun and stay for a while to meet the city lord Hongqi.
"Brother, why are you here?" Ye Chu was a little surprised and met Hong Qi in the pavilion.
Hong Qi got straight to the point and told Ye Chu about the magic stone, hoping that Ye Chu could support him with some Yuan Yuan Dan.
Without saying anything, Ye Chu first took out a bottle, which contained twelve fifth-level Yuan Yuan Dan, and gave it to him.
And Ye Chu also took out two of the few remaining sixth-level Yuan Yuan Pills and gave them to him.
"As expected, you have them here. I will exchange them for materials when the time comes..." Hong Qi was very happy that Ye Chu could give him these pills.
"Brother, you and I have just met each other."
Ye Chu smiled and said: "Just take it, don't mention the medicinal materials or not. But you are lucky, you actually received a magic stone slave, but you didn't tell your sister-in-law about this, right?"
"Your sister-in-law?"
Hong Qi was stunned, and then said with a smile: "This is not a good thing, I didn't tell her."
"Well, my sister-in-law is a woman after all, and the magic stone is considered a magic cultivator..."
Ye Chu smiled and said: "And if my estimate is right, plus the pills I am giving you now, even if they are all given to him, they will not be able to dissolve the evil spirit in his body. They can dissolve the two achievements."
Not bad.”
"These dozens of Yuan Yuan Dan can only resolve 20%?" Hong Qi took a breath of cold air.
If that were the case, wouldn't it take hundreds of Yuan Yuan Dan to resolve them all?
He doesn't have that many Yuan-Returning Pills for him to use at the moment, and Ye Chu doesn't have that many to give either.
Ye Chu nodded and said: "He is a magic stone. To put it bluntly, he is a monster. He is born with the evil spirit. Even if he later opens his spiritual wisdom and can obtain the inherited Taoist methods and start his own practice, the evil spirit in his body will still be there."
The Qi will become stronger and stronger as his cultivation level improves."
"In the past, it might have just been an ordinary magic stone, and the evil spirit inside was not very strong. But as it went on, the evil spirit in his body became more terrifying and difficult to control." Ye Chu sighed: "So now he has become a
The Great Demon God is unable to suppress the demonic energy in his body, but I think his Taoism will have a great effect."
"As long as you give him these pills, coupled with his own Taoism, he should be able to suppress the evil spirit in his body for a period of time. But, with his cultivation level, I'm afraid..."
Ye Chu sighed a little: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make much progress..."
"Well, I probably guessed this."
Hong Qi sighed: "Although he is full of demonic energy, I think this child is still very pure in heart. He did not come to snatch it directly, but came to ask for it from me and made a slave agreement with me.
.Even if he doesn’t have much potential in cultivation in this life, I’ll help him if I can.”
"Well, although his cultivation level is only at the realm of the Great Demon God, his Taoism must be extraordinary. Now that I am the city lord, brother, the burden on your shoulders is much heavier than ever before."
Ye Chu nodded and said: "He will definitely be able to help you a lot. You can secretly leave some things to him. I think he will do a good job for you."
"However, there are some things I still want to advise my brother..." Ye Chu was still worried about his woman.
"Brother, just say it, what else can we brothers say without knowing anything..." Hong Qi also trusted Ye Chu very much. Ye Chu could directly hand over these dozen pills to him, which shows Ye Chu's sincerity.
"Since he has become your personal servant, brother, I think it's best for you not to let anyone know about his existence. The evil spirit in him is so terrifying, but it can still sneak into you quietly along the way.
City Lord’s Mansion…”
Ye Chu's guess is really reasonable: "I think he must have good hiding skills, which can make others unable to detect. If he can be used for you, it will be a great help. But you have to let
He has been hiding in the dark and can only communicate with you."
"Well, brother, what you said makes sense."
Hong Qi was stunned. He had never thought of this happening before, but now that he thought about it, it was really the case.
Even his wife, a demon fairy like him, didn't find him in the inner hall. This shows that this magic stone must have its own unique method.
And considering the situation at that time, I didn't notice him. He showed up on his own.
He could have attacked him secretly to retrieve the Yuan Dan, but he still showed up directly and begged himself to give him the medicine, which shows that Demon Stone is a person with a pure heart.
"Then go ahead, brother, and give these medicines to him. It will help him a lot." Ye Chu and Hong Qi said goodbye like this.
Hong Qi said some words of gratitude and left without saying thanks.
…
After Hong Qi left, Ye Chu picked up the book he had read before. This book was not another book, it was the same wordless book from back then.
Later, Jue Tianjiao, the women who came out of the fairy island back then, also came out with the help of this wordless heavenly book. However, Jue Tianjiao has been in seclusion for many years now and has not appeared for a long time. She has been in seclusion in the fairy temple near the sacred tree.
I haven’t seen Ye Chu for many years.
"There are so many wonders in this world. Such a magic stone can also unlock spiritual wisdom. It would be great if it could be used by oneself. However, this is all one's life. It seems that God is kind to Hong Qi."
"He was deceived by his own woman over there, and here a magic stone came to work for him. In the future, becoming his personal servant and soldier can be considered as compensation for him."
Ye Chu spent another half an hour flipping through the wordless book from the first page to the last page, and then put the wordless book away.
He brought Ji Die out. Ji Die was woken up by him before, but now that he was awake, he couldn't fall asleep.
Seeing Ye Chu half lying here, Ji Die's face was still slightly red. She asked Ye Chu: "The city lord left just now?"
"Well..." Ye Chu nodded. Seeing that Ji Die didn't say anything else, Ye Chu told him about the magic stone and the city lord, which probably helped him relieve his boredom.
"You gave him a dozen Yuan Yuan Dan? Isn't it a bit too much?" Ji Die was a little surprised.
One batch of Yuan Yuan Dan can only be refined to a dozen, but Ye Chu gave him more than a dozen at one time, which is indeed a lot.
"Well, it can be considered a favor."
Ye Chu smiled and said: "How should I put it? I feel that I am actually quite close to this city lord. At the same time, I also think he is quite pitiful. It is not easy to be a city lord..."
"Poor? How do you put this?" Ji Die didn't know anything about the city lord's wife.
Ye Chu thought for a while and decided that it would be okay to tell her, so he told her about the city lord's wife.
"Can it still be like this?"
After hearing this, Ji Die's face looked a little strange: "Isn't that woman's junior sister dead? How can her head still be alive alone for her use?"
"I'm not very clear about this."
Ye Chu still can't figure it out: "Maybe she used some kind of puppet technique. Anyway, she is a weird and disgusting woman."
"That's true"
Ji Die didn't think so. She looked quite calm. Maybe she had seen many such things.
"But you mentioned that that woman might be related to Qingqing's mother. Did you investigate the matter later?" Ji Die doubted, "You said that woman's junior sister is not Qingqing's mother, right?"
"This should not be it."
Ye Chudao: "At that time, I saw the branding stone that Qingqing gave me. Her mother did not look like that woman. It was just that the curse mark on that woman's body was very similar to Qingqing's mother. And for the first time, I
When I went to the city lord's mansion, I saw her taking out a mirror alone, and the image of Qingqing's mother appeared in it, and she murmured to herself, it's been more than a thousand years, you should wake up.
words."
"If that's the case, maybe Qingqing's mother has been sealed or has been plotted, and this woman knows that she will wake up and knows where she is." Ji Die frowned and said, "If we want to find Qingqing's mother,
, maybe we can start from this point.”
"It's okay, it's okay. This woman probably doesn't have the ability to discover my hiding technique."
Ye Chu said in a deep voice: "But this woman will not leave the City Lord's Mansion easily. I have given Hong Qi a hint that her wife usually does not leave the City Lord's Mansion and spends most of the year in the City Lord's Mansion."
"If that's the case, then it's very possible that Qingqing's mother is in her Qiankun world, or in that mirror..." Ji Die's words are not unreasonable.
"It may be possible, but it can't be proved now..." Ye Chu was also a little helpless, "And now this woman has become more vigilant. Now there are so many powerful people in Nanfeng Holy City, this woman has also become more cautious. We are now
There’s nothing you can do about it.”
"Well, I just have to see if there is a good time."
Ji Die also sighed helplessly: "It's been a few years since Qingqing and the others left. I really miss them."
Ye Chu smiled bitterly a few times and didn't say anything, but speaking of it, Ji Die didn't get along with them for long, and then Qicai Shenni and the others left.
"Why don't you stay with Tianqing and the child?" Ye Chu was a little curious.
It stands to reason that Tianqing and she have a child now. Ji Die has been helping Tianqing and raising the child together in the past few years. However, Ji Die has rarely taken care of the child in recent years, and instead tries to avoid being with Tianqing.
Tianqing spends time with her children.
Ji Die sighed and said: "Actually, my fate was a little unstable before. I was afraid that if I couldn't control myself, it would hurt Tianqing and the children, so I tried to avoid them."
"There is such a thing..."
Ye Chu was a little surprised. Why didn't this woman tell him earlier? Tian Qing was the same. If she hadn't told him about this kind of thing, maybe there would have been a way to help her.
"But it's fine now. Thanks to you taking back my fate before, I'm almost fully integrated now."
Ji Die smiled and said: "I no longer have such worries. But just to be safe, I will try to have as little contact with them as possible before they are fully integrated."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Ye Chu sighed and said, "It's really funny when I think back to when Tianqing took over your divine body."
"Don't take what she said at that time seriously." Mentioning this, Ji Die's face turned red inexplicably, and she felt a little nervous.
"Actually, she didn't say anything at the time..."
Ye Chu smiled and said to Ji Die: "And I felt something was not right at that time. With your character back then, how could you possibly treat me like that..."
"What's going on..." Ji Die felt a little guilty.
I thought to myself, then Shi Tianqing wouldn't have lied to him, wouldn't he have taken over his body and kissed this guy or had something happened with this guy?
"It's nothing like that. It's just a wink and a few pity words."
Ye Chu smiled, seeing Ji Die's shy expression now, he was really a little uncomfortable with it. She was completely different from her before.
Even though she knew that this was because she had lost her destiny before, sometimes it was still hard to get over it.
"This Tianqing just likes to do whatever he wants..."
Ji Die smiled silently, the blush on her face not going away for a while.
She lamented: "I have not been bothered by her in these years. She has been talking about you in my ears all day long. I was tired of hearing it..."
