After enjoying the experience of eternal youth for 700 years, the Di people cannot accept that they will continue to exist as an elderly person in the future. From the perspective of the Di people, the queen's request is understandable.
The Di people are an aquatic race. They cannot leave the water environment and go to land. The task of landing on the island to find the Sword Immortal can only be completed by outsiders.
Among Lu Xiao's world tasks is collecting ancient artifacts, but Lu Xiao had specifically asked about the system's task completion criteria before.
As long as Lu Xiao holds the artifact in his hand at the time of settlement, it can be counted as completing the mission, and he does not necessarily have to take the artifact out of the world.
The function of the Kongtong Seal is immortality. This purpose is of little use to Lu Xiao who controls the materialization of the soul. There is no harm in returning the Kongtong Seal after use.
The Shennong Ding currently stored in Lu Xiao's personal space has a slightly wider use, but Lu Xiao does not intend to bring this bulky Shennong Ding back to the main world.
As a by-product of mastering the third method, as long as a formula that is effective in actual testing can be obtained, the refining technique stimulated by the third method can perfectly replicate the effect of the Shennong Cauldron. All Lu Xiao needs is the Shennong Cauldron to refine medicine.
Detailed recipe.
In the same way, the demon refining pot hanging on Chen Jingchou's waist was of little significance to Lu Xiao. As long as he got the recipe for demon refining, he could also use the alchemy technique to complete the process.
As for the functions of subduing and collecting demons...physical demon subduing can completely replace it.
"Yes, but there is a barrier between the human world and the fairy world. After getting rid of the Black Dragon Queen, I hope the queen will let Kunyu send us to the fairy island."
The Queen smiled and nodded: "No problem, as long as you can meet these two requirements, the Kongtong Seal can be temporarily loaned to you for use."
Lu Xiao has always believed that fighting is the last option when negotiations are unfavorable, and it is best to solve problems in a civilized way.
Just like what Kunyu said, although the Queen of the Di Human Race has her own little plans regarding these two conditions, her request will not affect the overall situation.
At least the Di people are willing to bear the price of old age for the time being and lend the Kongtong Seal, which is enough.
Before setting off for the homeland of the Di people, the queen arranged accommodation for Lu Xiao and others in the manner of entertaining distinguished guests, and even sent several royal maids to take care of the daily life of the group.
Lu Xiao never indulges in pleasure in the mission world. He will save the accumulated pressure and return to the main world to release it all at once.
Declining the queen's kindness, Lu Xiao vigorously began to ask her for detailed information about the black dragon.
"The foreign black dragon calls himself the Black Dragon King. Originally he was just a dragon that could barely transform. Over the past 200 years, relying on devouring our people, the Black Dragon King's strength has made great progress. He is only one step away from evolving into a dragon.
The true dragon soaring in the nine heavens."
The Queen of the Di Human Race solemnly warned Lu Xiao: "Please do not underestimate the enemy. The Black Dragon King's strength is by no means ordinary. He already has the power of a half-immortal."
"If you are unable to defeat us, you can first go to the Immortal Island to seek help from the immortals."
Lu Xiao smiled confidently: "Let's go and experience the power of the Black Dragon King first. Compared to the enemies we may face in the future, a mere half-immortal is nothing."
Yuwen Tuo's strength is unfathomable. The effect produced by combining the two artifacts is definitely not just 1+1=2. In his eyes, a half-immortal like the Black Dragon King is probably just a fish that can be solved with one sword.
If even the Black Dragon King cannot be defeated easily, Lu Xiao feels that she can give up being an enemy of Yuwen Tuo and go home to farm.
To be honest, Lu Xiao was not sure whether he could successfully find the Donghuang Bell, and he might even stand against Yuwen Tuo in the future because of the Wanling Blood Bead.
If he remembered correctly, the Donghuang Bell, the first of the top ten artifacts, seemed to have been reincarnated as a human again, and she was also a bad-tempered female fairy. Even if she could be successfully found, it was still unknown whether she could be persuaded to help.
Both the Lost Formation and the Void Formation require ancient artifacts to contribute their own original power. Once the consumption is too large, the artifact that takes the form of a human is likely to lose its human form and return to its original form.
This situation is unacceptable to the transformed artifacts. After returning to their original bodies, they will retain the ability to think and see and hear everything happening in the outside world, but they will not be able to move their bodies or communicate with anyone.
This process will last for at least a hundred years, until the artifact that has exhausted its original power regains its ability to move and takes the form of a human again.
Being able to see, hear, and move for a hundred years or even longer is not something ordinary people can bear.
Lu Xiao cannot guarantee that every reincarnation of the artifact will be a person who understands the righteousness. There may be selfish people among them who are greedy for life and afraid of death. This is also human nature.
Because Kunyu's target was too big and would arouse the Black Dragon King's alert once he got close, Lu Xiao and others could only ride one of Kunyu's descendants to the Di Human Tribe's old land, now the Black Dragon Palace.
Before leaving, the Queen of the Di Human Tribe used her tribe's artifact to temporarily grant Lu Xiao and others the ability to avoid water, allowing them to move and breathe freely in the water for up to one day.
"Before the water repellent effect ends, no matter whether the battle with the Black Dragon King is won or lost, you must rush back as soon as possible. You must remember this."
After bidding farewell to the queen, the five people rode a "small" Kun about fifty meters long to the depths of the seabed.
In order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, the Di people set up a complex maze formation outside their original homeland.
Only by passing through the outer Shell Sea Labyrinth can you successfully enter the Dragon Palace.
The Black Dragon King does have great power, but he is not proficient in formations.
According to the Queen of the Di Human Race, the labyrinth of the Shell Sea remains intact as it was when they evacuated.
The Black Dragon King also knew that this maze was actually a big colander. He deployed a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the maze of the Sea of Shells in an attempt to use the human sea tactic to block the Di Human counterattack.
Lu Xiao didn't even have the desire to take action against these miscellaneous soldiers. Yong Zhen led the three rookies to gain practical experience. Lu Xiao studied the formulas of the Shennong Cauldron and the Demon Refining Pot along the way.
It is impossible to completely copy the formula in the game, not to mention that Lu Xiao has completely forgotten the original demon refining formula.
The Tuoba tribe has kept the Shennong Cauldron for many years and has developed some of the formulas that can be used for the Shennong Cauldron. Yu'er told Lu Xiao all these recipes.
Lu Xiao leisurely explored more functions of the Shennong Cauldron during the journey, and the semi-finished products with poor efficacy were handed over to Chen Jingchou and others for use on the spot.
These semi-finished products include various tonics that can increase strength, agility and spell casting speed in a short period of time, as well as "comprehensive recovery potions" that can restore energy and spirit in an instant.
However, the semi-finished product will have some side effects. While improving one attribute, it will reduce the ability of another attribute. It must be used according to the situation.
The side effects of comprehensive recovery medicine are even more ridiculous. People who take it will suffer from diarrhea because the yin, yang and five elements in the medicine are not harmoniously coordinated, and the deficiency is not replenished.
No one is willing to take this "magic medicine" unless absolutely necessary.
As for the Demon Refining Pot, since he could only find shrimps, soldiers and crab generals after rummaging through the shell maze, Lu Xiao tried to refine it several times, but always ended up with an aquatic monster with four arms and four legs.
In anger, he threw the half-finished comprehensive recovery medicine into the demon refining pot and refined it together, and unexpectedly obtained a golden pocket dragon.
"emmmmm..."
Lu Xiaobai looked at the innocent-looking little dragon in front of him in confusion: "How come lobster soldiers and crab soldiers + incomplete comprehensive recovery medicine can make a dragon? What is the principle? The change in properties is too outrageous, right?
.”
"嘤~"
Xiaolong's cry was milky. He didn't seem to be interested in Lu Xiao who had refined him. On the contrary, he was very close to Yu Xiaoxue. He spent most of the time hanging around her and making "嘘嘤" sounds.
.
'Have you felt the energy naturally emitted by the reincarnation of the ancient artifact? But Xiaoxue's talent must not have been fully activated yet? What is the situation with this pocket dragon?'
Yongzhen ignored Lu Xiao, who was fishing behind. As the leading sister, she led the team that gradually became tacitly coordinated to fight through the thorns in the front. It only took more than two hours to kill through the Shell Sea Maze.
But this is also thanks to the maze instructions given by the Queen of the Di Human Race, otherwise the group of people might be trapped in the maze for a long time.
"Is this the Black Dragon King's Dragon Palace, the former palace of the Di Human Race?"
After leaving the Shell Sea Labyrinth, the group drifted past the ruins of a city in the sea. Standing in front of them was a majestic open-air palace, with traces of demolished buildings still visible around them.
"The Black Dragon King is also quite narcissistic. He demolished the outer wall of the palace to let the soldiers and crab generals see his 'majestic' figure."
Lu Xiao opened the eyes of the eagle and saw the strange creature with a dragon head and human body in the palace.
"Such a high-profile guy is just lucky. He met the Di people who are not strong but have great tonic effects. If he went to some sea areas where big bosses were stationed, this stupid dragon would have been turned into a roasted dragon and killed."
