Chapter 428 [Soul Swallowing and Life Melting Technique]. (The Third Update! Please Subscribe!)
Meiyang City.
The capital of Meiyang County is adjacent to the Meishui, one of the most famous rivers in the Liugai Dynasty.
It is rumored that before the city was built, the original site was a swamp with lush water and grass.
Because the imperial dynasty took a fancy to the location of this place, it was convenient to control Meiyang County, so they sent high-level monks to drain most of the accumulated water with great mana, and moved mountains to fill up the soil. .
However, for the convenience of people's livelihood, there are still many small rivers, streams, and ponds in Meiyang City...
Looking around, the waterways between the alleys are crisscrossed, the streets are rubbing shoulders, and the water is also bustling.
At this moment, there was an inconspicuous entrance to a small courtyard with a single gate in Linxi.
Two embracing willows, with luxuriant branches and leaves, are meandering and hanging down thousands of emerald silk ribbons. While swaying with the soft wind, they brush past the female cultivator in white in front of the door from time to time.
This female cultivator is about in her early twenties, with white skin, slender eyebrows and long eyes, and a long red gold hairpin tied behind her head all over her head. With a calm expression on the golden flute, she raised her hand to push aside the willow branches that were in the way, and knocked on the courtyard door.
The female cultivator knocked neither lightly nor hard, and stopped after two taps. After waiting for a few breaths, she continued to tap three times, and then increased her strength to take five more taps.
"Who is it?" At this moment, a deep voice came from behind the silent door.
"The night is clear and the blue is falling, and the light is floating in the purple clouds." The female cultivator said indifferently, "I'm here to pay respects to Senior Lun Shan."
The other party pondered for a while, but did not answer, but the courtyard door opened slowly with a "click".
The female cultivator walked in without hesitation, but just as she entered the courtyard, the two doors behind her slammed into each other, and immediately after, the small courtyard, which was normal a moment ago, was instantly pitch black!
Countless whispers sounded in the darkness...
But more changes have not yet occurred, and an extremely powerful aura erupted from the female cultivator's body, abruptly shattering this illusion, only to hear a muffled grunt in the corridor not far away, and walked out slowly, but it was a A middle-aged monk whose name is easily forgotten at first sight.
There were blood stains at the corner of his mouth, but he forcibly endured it back, glanced at the female cultivator, and said in a low voice, "Come with me."
After speaking, he turned around and walked into the main hall.
The female nun looked flat and followed closely behind.
After a while, the two walked into a secret room located underground.
This secret room occupies a huge area, the top is inlaid with pearls, and various formations are arranged around it, so that the place does not feel dull and cramped. In addition to the simple and elegant layout, it has a taste of being out of the world.
On a futon in the middle of the secret room, an old man with white beard and hair but face like a baby was sitting.
His demeanor is indifferent, and at first glance he seems to be just a mortal.
But the occasional flash of powerful fluctuations makes people feel palpitations, almost breathless, which shows their extremely terrifying cultivation.
"You appear here. It seems that our family still lost to the Li family in this contest for saintess." The old man was not surprised when he saw the female cultivator entering, and only sighed slightly.
The female cultivator performed the formula calmly, and soon, a gleam of light flashed through the long red gold hairpin in her hair, and at the same time, circles of ripples appeared around her like the surface of water.
It didn't take long for the disguise to fade away, revealing his true colors.
The human bone corolla hangs down with tassels, the high bun is like a cloud, and the color is luxuriant. Clusters of flames are burning on the original snow-white skirt, which is extremely gorgeous and sharp. It is the true biography of Chong Mingzong, Zhou Miaoli!
"Junior Zhou Miaoli, I have met Senior Lun Shan." Zhou Miaoli saluted.
The old man Si Honglunshan nodded slightly, ordered the middle-aged casual practitioner to take a futon, let Zhou Miaoli sit down not far from him, and then talked about the business: "The clan sent you here, but are you ready to act?"
Zhou Miaoli nodded, and immediately said: "After the family ordered me to come to Meiyang City, everything will be arranged by the seniors."
Si Honglunshan was not surprised, and said slowly: "This mission is very dangerous! Even though my family has been planning for the Liugai Dynasty for many years, we are still not fully sure."
"Originally, if you had won the battle for the saintess, no matter what this time, you would not be allowed to take risks."
"But since you lost to Li Lieyue, this matter falls on you."
"For now, this is your only way to survive."
"Otherwise your merits will not be enough to convince the majority of the clan to agree to offend the newly promoted saintess for you."
Zhou Miaoli listened, her expression unchanged, and said calmly: "Don't worry, senior, I will definitely survive!"
Seeing this situation, Si Honglunshan nodded secretly. This week Miaoli is indeed of Sihong's bloodline, and it is even better than he expected!
But soon frowned again: No matter Zhou Miaoli's cultivation base or character, she was already placed among the genius disciples, and she was considered the top choice. Judging from her words and deeds, she was by no means a lazy person, but she still lost to Jiu Ah Li's Lie Hunting Moon?
The competition for the position of saintess in this generation is so fierce?
Thinking of this, he pondered for a while, and continued: "The task of this trip must enter the 'Little Freedom'. And the entry of the 'Little Freedom' has restrictions on cultivation."
"The highest is the peak of alchemy!"
"At this point, you just meet the conditions, which is why the clan sent you here."
"So the next step is to try to get the identity of an alchemist and mix into 'Xiao Zi Zai Tian'!"
Alchemist?
Hearing this, Zhou Miaoli's face remained unchanged, she just said: "I don't know how to make alchemy."
"The old man knows." Si Honglunshan was not surprised by this.
Zhou Miaoli was once cultivated by the Fuguang Sihong Clan as a future saint. Outsiders may not know what she has learned and what she is good at, but as a member of the Sihong Clan, Si Honglunshan knows it very well.
He said immediately, "So this old man has prepared a [Soul Swallowing and Fate], as long as he finds a real alchemist, devours his soul, and seizes his life, he can inherit all the memories and alchemy experience of this alchemist." .”
"Although it is not possible to replicate his alchemy skills 100%, it can still retain 70% to 80% of the level."
"Furthermore, with destiny, even when entering the 'Xiaozizaitian', Qin Tianjian of the Liugai Dynasty calculated the origin of the selected alchemist's identity, and he has a solid foothold, which is not easy to be broken."
Hearing this, Zhou Miaoli took the jade slip and nodded, "Okay."
"Remember!" Seeing this, Si Honglunshan reminded again, "Don't move the local alchemists of the Liugai Dynasty. This kind of alchemists, from childhood to adulthood, has left countless records in the government, and there are many Friends and relatives know it very well. Even if you use this technique, it will be difficult not to show your flaws under repeated inspections!"
"Or his relatives and old friends noticed something was wrong and reported it to the government."
"After all, every time the alchemy ceremony begins, the dynasty will wantonly fabricate all kinds of crimes and impose them on my holy sect and all its allies."
"So much so that during this period, anyone who has been under the rule of the dynasty for a long time will sue the officials immediately!"
Mentioning this point, with his cultivation base, he couldn't help but show a look of boredom, "And the government, Ning Bai will not let it go... At that time, your identity will be revealed, and you will have no escape. Arrangements are big!"
"That's why it's best to choose those casual alchemy masters who have traveled long distances from outside the imperial dynasty for the alchemy ceremony."
"Especially for those who travel alone, in the Liugai Dynasty, there are no old acquaintances."
"And the technique of alchemy is enough to enter the 'Xiao Zi Zai Tian'."
"That's not easy to expose!"
Zhou Miaoli nodded again: "Understood!"
