Chapter 1887 Black Magic Wine
"Temporarily manage the Pursuit Division? Sure, but I'm used to being alone, so don't expect me to do too well."
After hearing this, Luo Hong hesitated for a moment and agreed.
After all, there will be frequent actions in Jukun City in the future. The Pursuit Division may not be able to participate directly, but it will definitely be assigned some tasks.
As long as they are prepared in advance, many things will be much easier to handle.
Since one of them wanted to go back to practice in seclusion, and the other was also eager to prepare for a breakthrough, they didn't talk much at the moment and left the Pursuit Division separately.
Luo Hong did not go to the Floating Cloud Mountains again, but stayed in the Black Mountain Immortal Palace and began to practice in seclusion.
It is worth mentioning that after he practiced the law of time to the middle stage of Taiyi, he immediately improved the Jinyang Niyu Great Array, making the effect of this array speeding up the flow of time reach 288 times.
In this way, in the next three hundred years, Luo Hong can practice in the array for 100,000 years.
Gongshu Jiu's Nascent Soul obviously can't hold on for so long, but now Luo Hong has obtained Yuanfeng's Nascent Soul, so this aspect is naturally not a problem.
After arranging various chores, Luo Hong sat cross-legged in the formation, took out a Yuqing Pill with a flip of his hand, and then swallowed it without hesitation.
Although he was already a cultivator in the early stage of Taiyi, the strong medicinal power of Yuqing Pill still made Luo Hong feel a little uncomfortable in his meridians.
But on the other hand, the rapid increase in cultivation made Luo Hong feel comfortable.
In this way, the time in the formation began to pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, more than three hundred years had passed outside, and Luo Hong had successfully broken through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Taiyi.
However, with the breakthrough of the realm, Luo Hong obviously felt that his cultivation speed slowed down.
This is mainly because the medicinal power of Yuqing Pill and Yiyuan Pill is slightly insufficient for cultivators in the middle stage of Taiyi.
But if the energy is continuously supplied, it is not impossible to pile Luo Hong to the late stage of Taiyi, or even the peak of Taiyi.
But this wasteful way of cultivation, even the small green bottle can only supply one person, and Han Lao Mo is refining pills outside the formation, and he couldn't keep up with Luo Hong's consumption speed before.
"I have to think of some other ways later. Relying on pills to cultivate is not the way for me after all."
Luo Hong didn't regret it too much. He stood up and put away the formation, then restrained his breath and escaped from the pavilion where he lived.
Looking at the Black Mountain Fairy Palace that he hadn't seen for a long time, Luo Hong felt relaxed.
To others, he was only in seclusion for three hundred years, which was not long at all, but in fact, he had been sitting cross-legged and practicing for 100,000 years without moving!
During these three hundred years, the Black Mountain Fairyland, and even the entire Four Alliance Fairyland, were very peaceful, but Luo Hong felt a sense of calm before the storm.
"I don't know which Taoist ancestor the Lord of the Samsara Palace wants to deal with. I hope it will go smoothly then!"
Luo Hong didn't completely let go of his heart because the Lord of the Samsara Palace promised that he didn't need to meet the Taoist ancestor in person.
After all, according to the records in the classics, the Daluo cultivators already have the magical power to affect the entire fairyland, and Daozu can completely cover the entire fairyland with the help of the laws of the Great Dao.
Although this will greatly promote the process of Daozu's integration with the Dao, when it comes to life and death, Luo Hong believes that Daozu will definitely fight!
Without thinking about these for the time being, Luo Hong stretched out his hand and took a bunch of communication jade talismans and some sundries.
After a simple check, Luo Hong picked out two invitations to Yukunlou.
Two hundred years ago, Song Yaoguang had successfully advanced to Taiyi, and now he is in the limelight in the Black Mountain Fairyland.
When congratulating him earlier, Luo Hong asked the other party to help get two invitations to Yukunlou, and now it is obviously done.
Luo Hong was not actually very interested in this Yukun auction. The reason why he went to participate was to sell the two Wanlun magic beads that he had completed, and the other was to let Han Lao Mo meet Yinhu and Shi Chuankong.
Unlike the original time and space, Han Lao Mo has basically been studying the Dao of Alchemy in the wilderness for these years, and his friendship with the Fire Immortal Venerable has long faded.
If Luo Hong does not intervene, there will be a lot of changes in the future.
Putting away the invitation, Luo Hong's feet flashed with lightning, and took him away from the Black Mountain Immortal Palace.
Half a year later, Jukun Inner City.
"Brother Luo, this is my first time in this inner city. Is it so lively here on weekdays?"
Walking on the streets of the inner city, Han Li found that many places in the city were being repaired. Some main streets were even decorated with lights and door lintels. There were also many monks coming and going, making the nearby streets like a busy city for mortals.
"Of course not. On weekdays, these streets are very deserted, and there are not many cultivators walking. After all, the conditions for entering the inner city are there.
The reason why it is so lively now is that the Yukun auction is about to be held, attracting some cultivators from the other three fairyland areas."
In the original time and space, Han Lao Mo would run to the inner city of Jukun for Xuanzhi Stone Crystal whenever he had nothing to do, and he almost became a celebrity known by all major shops.
But now, because the matter of Xuanzhi Stone Crystal was settled by Luo Hong early, Han Lao Mo has never come here, which is a big change!
"But if the Yukun auction is really as difficult to participate as Senior Brother said, wouldn't most of these cultivators have to go there in vain?"
Han Li chatted with Luo Hong while walking.
"The Yukun auction is only the most famous and largest auction.
At the same time, there will be hundreds of auctions held by different forces in this inner city, and they will not be idle."
Just talking and chatting like this, the two soon arrived in front of the Yukun Building.
After showing the invitation, the two entered smoothly, attracting envious looks from outside the building.
After entering Yukun Tower, neither of them rushed upstairs. Instead, they walked down first and came to an underground palace deep underground.
This place is where various auction items are stored in Yukun Tower. It is strictly restricted and has many guards. Almost every hundred feet they advance, the two of them will be restrained or interrogated by guards.
Fortunately, this situation disappeared after Luo Hong met Master Jingyang.
Under his leadership, Luo Hong and the others arrived at a hall specially used for appraisals smoothly.
However, after seeing the two Ten Thousand Wheels Dharma Pearls taken out by Luo Hong, Master Jingyang's face clearly showed disappointment.
"Haha, I made fellow Taoist Jingyang laugh. Luo did not use five-color clay this time, so the quality of the finished product is very average."
These two Ten Thousand Wheels Dharma Pearls were obtained by Luo Hong by completing the two remnants of Gong Shujiu's treasures. The quality is naturally the same as before, only 29.
"Although the quality is average, I don't have to worry about selling the Wan Lun Dharma Pearl at any time. And at the Yukun Auction, I will definitely get a good price."
Master Jingyang knew that this was just something Luo Hong had casually refined to earn Immortal Essence Stones, so he cooperated and said it.
"My good friend Luo also brought a lot, and I also asked fellow Taoist Jingyang to arrange for someone to appraise it."
Luo Hong smiled and nodded.
"Young Daoist Li turns out to be a good friend of Elder Luo. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Master Jingyang had known Han Li for a long time. Although he had not seen him for three hundred years, he still recognized Han Li at a glance.
"Li didn't mean to hide it, but Brother Luo didn't use his real name when he made friends with Li."
After explaining with a smile, Han Li turned over his hand and took out a large sapphire bottle.
"Fellow Daoist Li is going to auction the elixirs. I will arrange for someone to come over right now."
The Yukun Auction was jointly organized by Black Mountain Immortal Palace and Baizooshan. Master Jingyang, as the deputy mountain master, just said hello and a Golden Immortal monk who specialized in appraising elixirs flew over.
"May I ask what kind of elixir is in this bottle?"
"Yiyuan Dan."
Han Li replied directly.
"The sixth-grade Dao elixir should be put up for auction on the third day."
With that said, the Golden Immortal monk took the jade bottle.
The entire Yukun auction lasts for seven days. Except for the items used to arouse the atmosphere, the more expensive items are usually placed at the back.
Although Yiyuan Dan is a sixth-grade Dao Dan, it can only get a neither high nor low position in this auction.
But when the golden immortal cultivator saw the number of pills in the bottle, he immediately changed his mind:
"There are actually twenty Yiyuan Pills! If they are all true, I suggest fellow Taoist to auction them together on the sixth day!"
Twenty Yiyuan Pills, even if taken by a monk in the late Taiyi period, can improve one's cultivation level. The preciousness is not as simple as twenty times that of one Yiyuan Pill.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, please have it appraised."
Of course, Han Li knew that this would fetch a higher price, so he immediately agreed.
Of course there would be no problems with the elixir that he refined by himself, and Han Li soon got a certificate.
Afterwards, the two did not stay in the underground palace for a long time, but went directly to the venue.
The interior of Yukun Tower is obviously very cleverly arranged with space restrictions, which expands the internal space many times.
I saw a large circular stone platform built in the middle of the building, which was probably the auction platform, and there were closely connected small rooms around it, surrounding it three times up and down.
Luo Hong took Han Li into a room on the third floor and immediately saw Song Yaoguang, who had already arrived.
"Brother Luo, why are you here so late? This must be your friend, the Heavenly Alchemist, whom I have admired for a long time!"
After scolding with a smile, Song Yaoguang bowed his hands to Han Li beside Luo Hong.
"Junior Li Feiyu has met Fairy Song!"
Han Li greeted him immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you don't have to be so polite. Not to mention that you are Brother Luo's good friend, just that the Jade Clear Pill you refined has helped me a lot. You and I can be friends as equals!"
Song Yaoguang said seriously now.
It was not always smooth sailing for her to break through Taiyi. If it weren't for the extremely high quality and strong potency of the Yuqing Pill refined by Han Li, she would have barely been able to survive the decline.
"That's right, brother Li, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly. Before the auction starts, Luo invites you to taste my newly brewed wine!"
Luo Hong was not polite to Song Yaoguang at this time. He directly found a table and sat down cross-legged.
Immediately, he patted the treasure bag on his waist and took out a large wine jar exuding black energy!
"Brother Luo, why is this spiritual wine of yours so full of demonic aura? Are you sure you got it right?"
When Song Yaoguang saw this, he sat down and asked doubtfully.
"Hey, it's good to have demonic energy. This wine is called Black Demon. It was made by Luo using the Taiyi Black Demon Heart, plus more than a thousand kinds of fairy materials, supplemented by secret techniques!
Not only is the taste unique, it’s also very beneficial to our soul!
Not much to say, you will know after you try it! "
After saying that, Luo Hong slapped the wine jar hard, causing the talisman and sealing mud on it to fly up.
Suddenly, dark auras like tentacles poured out. Wherever they passed, the restrictions in the room were eroded and flashed wildly, almost attracting the guards from outside.
Immediately, three puppets that looked like palace ladies came forward together. After pouring some wine, they brought three bowls of black foaming wine to the three of them.
Song Yaoguang had never seen such spiritual wine before. Not only did it look strange, but the aroma of the wine seemed to be alive as it crept towards her mouth and nose.
Putting aside the weirdness, the scent is indeed fragrant!
"Brother Luo, is this wine really drinkable?"
Song Yaoguang asked hesitantly. This thing obviously looked like poison.
"certainly!"
Luo Hong chuckled when he heard this, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The same goes for Han Li. It's not like he has never tasted the weird spiritual wine brewed by Luo Hong before, but he has never been disappointed once.
Seeing this scene, Song Yaoguang was heartbroken and thought to himself that if something goes wrong later, he would immediately activate the Law True Flame to refine the wine.
When the wine entered her mouth, Song Yaoguang didn't want to drink it all in one gulp, but unexpectedly, the remaining wine actually slipped into her mouth.
In an instant, the extremely mellow taste filled her mouth, and as the wine entered her stomach, a force of law immediately rippled out.
As if night had fallen, a deep darkness suddenly appeared in front of Song Yaoguang's eyes.
However, this darkness does not give people any feeling of terror. Instead, it makes people feel peaceful and reassuring.
It seemed as if all worries had been swallowed up by this darkness, making people completely relaxed.
Even if the light reappears in front of his eyes, Song Yaoguang is still immersed in that mysterious state.
It wasn't until the footsteps of Gong'e's puppet sounded that she came back to her senses.
The next moment, she realized that her spiritual cultivation had improved, and she immediately admired Luo Hong!
"Brother Luo, your spiritual wine is so powerful, it actually has an effect on my Taiyi Soul!
Otherwise, you should stop entertaining us and sell it at the auction! "
"Yaoguang, what are you talking about? If this wine sells well, can Luo entertain you?"
If you think it tastes good, drink two more bowls! "
Luo Hong made a joke casually and raised the wine bowl again.
"Haha, Brother Luo is right, except for us, few people dare to drink this spiritual wine.
Come on, have another bowl! "
Han Li seemed careless and nonchalant at this moment, but in fact, he was not at peace in his heart either.
Because this black magic wine actually has some effect on his soul!
You know, his divine refining skills have almost reached the fifth level, and his soul cultivation level is much higher than Song Yaoguang's.
Luo Hong knew this very well. After all, this wine was not only made of excellent materials, but he had also aged it for a hundred thousand years using a special magic circle.
It's a pity that this wine has very little effect on himself.
Just because after the previous breakthrough, his soul realm has officially entered the early stage of Da Luo! (End of chapter)
