Chapter 180 The Secret Realm of Ruins, the Second Level Demon Core!
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Because of the ruins of the Black Cloud Mountains, Tianlu Changsheng not only drew second-order talismans, but also drew many first-order top-quality talismans.
Not only him, Lu Miaoge has also been busy making talismans these days.
After all, the Black Cloud Mountain Range is not far from Hongye Gufang City.
It’s only four or five thousand miles away.
Therefore, many monks from the surrounding areas went to the Black Cloud Mountains to try their luck.
And after half a month of fermentation, the matter of the Black Cloud Mountain ruins has not decreased at all.
It also became more popular because of several news and rumors that someone had obtained ancient skills, foundation-building spiritual objects, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the ruins, attracting more people.
After all, for most monks, a single skill and a foundation-building spiritual object is a great opportunity.
They have been pursuing it all their lives, but they may not be able to get such an opportunity.
Now that there are ruins like this, you won’t miss them.
It is precisely for this reason that the flow of people in Hongyegufang City has increased.
Talismans, elixirs, and magic weapons were sold very hotly, with prices rising by 30 to 40%, allowing Lu Changsheng to make a small profit.
Faced with this situation, the four major families also deployed manpower to increase patrols and security in Hongyegufang City.
In order to avoid attracting Jie Xiu to the ruins of the Black Cloud Mountain Range and taking the opportunity to cause chaos.
After all, the previous chaos caused by the two robbery cultivators left the four major families with lingering fears.
While chatting with Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng learned that the Lu family, Bai family, Yu family, Zheng family, and many surrounding immortal cultivating families had sent people to Black Cloud Mountain to explore the ruins.
Cultivation of immortality is like crossing a river, with thousands of horses and thousands of troops competing for the sail.
If you have the opportunity to be born, if you don't fight, how can you win and achieve success in practice?
However, Lu Yuanzhong, the ancestor of the Lu family, still sits in Qingzhu Mountain.
Did not participate in the ruins exploration.
The same is true for the Yu family, Zheng family, and Bai family.
They are just a small family.
There are only one or two foundation-building ancestors in the clan.
I simply don’t dare to go out and take risks to seize opportunities.
After all, they are not just individuals, they are the pillars of the family.
Once an accident occurs, the entire family will have problems and suffer disaster.
Only a few monks in the late stage of Qi refining can be sent to explore.
However, Lu Changsheng heard that some foundation-building monks had already gone to this ruins.
"Is the Qingyun Sect over?"
A few days later, when Lu Changsheng and Lu Yuanling were chatting, they learned that the Qingyun Sect had also taken action against the secret realm of Black Cloud Mountain.
"Yes, it is now confirmed that this ruins is a small secret realm. There are many chance treasures in it. Qingyun Sect will naturally not let it go."
Lu Yuanling said aloud.
As the second elder of the Lu family and the head of the Lu family in Hongyegufang City, he is very concerned about this news.
"As soon as the Qingyun Sect comes out, the entire secret realm belongs to the Qingyun Sect."
Lu Changsheng said with a tut.
For casual cultivators and major forces, the fate of the Qingyun Sect is nothing less than a dimensionality reduction attack.
Other casual cultivators have no chance to play.
"That's not true. The Qingyun Sect has not sealed off the secret realm and driven away loose cultivators and other forces."
Lu Yuanling shook his head.
"Oh, so to speak, Qingyun Sect is quite generous."
When Lu Changsheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
He thought that the Qingyun Sect would directly seal the secret realm and prohibit others from entering.
After all, if Qingyun Sect does this, other people have nothing to say and dare not say anything.
"Changsheng, you are still too young."
"No matter how generous the Qingyun Sect is, there must be hidden dangers in such a secret realm. The Qingyun Sect is naturally not willing to let its disciples charge into battle."
"Why don't we share some of the soup and let us family members and casual cultivators serve as cannon fodder and go in to explore."
Lu Yuanling sneered and said aloud.
At his age, he has experienced a lot and sees these things very clearly.
"Well."
When Lu Changsheng heard this, he immediately understood the reason.
It's like the Ziyou Secret Realm controlled by several immortal sects.
If we rely solely on the Immortal Sect disciples to explore, not only will the harvest be limited, but the disciples will also be easily damaged in the process.
It is better to let casual cultivators go in together with people from other forces.
Anyway, if there is a harvest inside, some benefits will be given to several major immortal sects.
"It is very difficult for casual cultivators and small forces to profit from such secret realms and opportunities."
Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion.
Every time he heard this, he felt deeply the hardship of the monks at the bottom of the world of immortality.
Without excellent talent, it is too difficult to succeed in cultivation.
We can only rely on our lives to keep fighting.
"Fortunately, I have a system."
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
With the system, as long as he is stable, marries a wife, takes concubines, has children, and raises children, he can obtain treasures of chance that countless people can never ask for in their lifetime.
Thus the path to immortality becomes smooth.
"I don't know how Feiyu is doing in Qingluan Fairy City."
Lu Changsheng thought of his friend Li Feiyu again.
Although the other party did not elaborate.
But he also knew that Li Feiyu's life-long pursuit was to hunt monsters, explore ruins, and visit ancient caves.
If you are not careful, you may encounter an accident.
Jiang Country, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
This mountain range is endless, stretching from the southern border of Jiang State, spanning a small half of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
It is also a natural barrier between Jiang State and Yue State.
Because there are many monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, many rare elixirs and herbs grow there. Monks enter the mountains all year round to practice and hunt monsters.
After all, for monks, monsters are full of treasures.
Flesh, flesh, fur, muscles and bones can all be sold for a good price.
If you can encounter some monster cubs and rare spiritual grass, it will be a great harvest.
At this time, five monks were besieging two blue snake-like monsters outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
These two giant pythons are both very huge.
It is more than one meter thick, with a strong spiritual light emitting from its whole body. Its two faint eyes flash with cold light, and it constantly sprays cold air towards people.
"Roar!"
One of the monks shouted loudly and let out a roar like a wild lion, which stopped the giant python that was about to attack.
Then a golden rope was thrown out, restraining a giant python, and shouted: "Old Li!"
immediately.
A tall middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing black attire, with an evil look on his face, and holding a long red knife stepped forward and shot out.
The muscles all over his body were pulsating, and the long knife in his hand was surging with red light, and he slashed down on the giant python seven inches.
"Clang!"
This sword was as powerful as thunder, powerful and domineering, and directly shattered the giant python's protective aura.
Then it landed on its blue snake scales, making a golden sound and faintly breaking through the scales.
"Hiss!"
The giant python roared angrily, and aura surged all over its body. The snake's tail suddenly swung and hit the man in the black suit.
"boom!"
The man in black armor flew out with a knife and hit a big tree in the distance, knocking the tree down.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the protective air shield surged around him, resisting most of the damage and not being seriously injured.
"Kill now!"
When the three people who were fighting with another giant python saw this, they all used their magical weapons at this moment, performed spells, and turned their heads to blast towards the giant python whose body-protecting aura was shattered.
"Ouch-ouch——"
Under the turbulent attack, the giant python looked up to the sky and roared, wailing and screaming.
This roar made the other giant python almost go crazy.
But these five people are obviously very experienced in facing monsters.
In this case, there is no choice to continue to fight head-on, but to keep fighting.
After grinding one giant python to death, he began to confront the other giant python head-on and slowly killed it.
"The harvest this time is good. The materials of these two green blood pythons can be sold for a lot of money."
After killing the two giant pythons, an old man with gray hair and wearing a gray robe said.
"These two jade blood pythons should be a pair. I don't know if they have laid eggs."
"If you lay eggs, you'll make a lot of money."
A middle-aged woman wearing a bright red robe spoke.
"Laying eggs, what are you thinking about? How can you be so lucky?"
Another man in green robe shook his head and said.
Immediately, several people walked towards the cave where the two green blood pythons were.
These monsters live in the mountains. If they see any treasures, the remains of immortal cultivators, the corpses of other monsters, or even elixirs and herbs, they will bring them back to the caves.
So sometimes after killing the monsters and exploring the cave, you will get unexpected rewards.
"It actually lays eggs, eight green blood python eggs!"
When the woman in red robe saw the depths of the cave, her eyes lit up and she said in surprise.
"What, really?"
"These eight green blood python eggs can be sold for four to five hundred spirit stones!"
"This is a huge profit!"
When the others heard this, they looked at the snake eggs with surprise in their eyes.
For them, if the four to five hundred spirit stones were divided equally, each of them would have almost a hundred spirit stones.
Consider it a considerable income.
However.
At this moment, the gray-robed old man looked at a dull gray crystal core.
When he saw the dark crystal core, his slightly cloudy eyes widened and his throat felt a little dry.
"Uncle Xiao, what are you looking at?"
The woman in red robe saw the old man in gray robe standing still and asked.
Then I followed my gaze and immediately saw the dark crystal core.
"This is the demon core!"
The red-robed woman exclaimed.
The demon core is similar to the Taoist foundation of human cultivators, the core that stores mana.
But not all second-level monsters have monster cores.
Only some rare or relatively powerful second-level monsters have monster cores.
Because it has a demon core, it means that this demon beast has the potential to advance to the third level.
If promoted to the third level, the demon core will also transform into a 'demon elixir', corresponding to the true elixir or golden elixir of the elixir-forming monk.
At this time, a demon core actually appeared in the cave of the green blood python.
Although this demon core seems to have a lot of energy spilled out, it is also extremely valuable.
Eight more jade-blood python eggs and demon cores suddenly solidified the atmosphere in the cave.
After all, money moves people's hearts.
The five of them only often cooperated to hunt monsters, and there was no deep friendship.
Now that such a big benefit has appeared, it is natural for people to have thoughts in their minds.
"This demon core can probably be sold for two to three thousand spirit stones."
"When the time comes to sell it, each of us will be able to get at least five to six hundred spiritual stones."
At this time, the old man in gray robe spoke to everyone.
The other people all looked happy when they heard this.
This amount of spiritual stone is not a small amount.
"Whose hands do we put this demon core in?"
The man in green robe said in a deep voice.
Like the Jade Blood Python, they can directly deal with the corpse as materials, and everyone can share it equally according to the value.
The same goes for snake eggs.
The three extra snake eggs are converted into spiritual stones.
But there is no way to deal with such a priceless demon core.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the cave solidified again.
"What's going on! I'm so dizzy."
At this moment, the woman in red robe suddenly held her forehead and her body was shaking.
"No, it's poisonous!"
The green-robed man trembled and sensed something was wrong.
"Who poisoned me!"
The man in black attire looked evil and scolded, but he was trembling and staggering.
The elegant middle-aged man among the five looked at the old man in gray robe and said coldly: "Old man Xiao, it was you who poisoned me!"
As he spoke, a spiritual energy shield formed around his body to isolate toxins.
"Fellow Daoist Yao, you actually have an anti-virus treasure?"
The old man in gray robe looked at the elegant man with some surprise.
His soul-breaking powder is colorless and odorless, and unless he has spiritual consciousness, ordinary monks cannot detect it.
Therefore, the elegant man was not poisoned, so he knew that he must have some kind of anti-poison treasure.
As soon as he said this, the other three people all looked at the gray-robed old man angrily.
But at this moment, they were speechless, swaying, vomiting blood, and fell to the ground.
"Fellow Daoist Yao, I'm afraid this treasure of yours won't be able to completely protect me from my 'hundred soul dispersion'. It's still too late for you to leave now."
The old man in gray robe continued to speak, speaking slowly.
"Okay, Yao admits his fault."
The elegant man heard this and knew this situation. He was no match for the old man in gray robe.
He looked wary of the gray-robed old man and slowly exited the cave.
"etc."
Just as the elegant man was about to leave, the old man in gray robe suddenly called out to him.
He said aloud: "Fellow Daoist Yao, please take these snake eggs. In this case, the matter will be revealed like this, how about it?"
"No."
Although Fellow Daoist Yao was moved, he did not dare to stay longer and left quickly.
But at this moment.
"Puchchi——"
A purple light flashed from the sleeves of the gray-robed old man.
But he saw a thunder talisman heading towards the elegant man.
At the same time, a golden awl magic weapon was sacrificed, turning into golden light and killing the elegant man.
In this situation, how could he let people go?
Once the news leaks out, he is afraid that he will be intercepted and attacked before he returns to Qingluan Immortal City.
After all, in this Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, not only are monsters in danger, but other monks also need to be wary of.
This is why many monks form teams and enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.
Not only are the mountains dangerous, but I am also worried that I will be exhausted physically and mentally just after leaving the mountains, and will encounter disaster again.
"Boom boom boom——"
Facing the offensive of the gray-robed old man, the elegant man immediately threw out a small earth-yellow shield.
But under the bombardment of this offensive, the spiritual energy shield around him suddenly dimmed a lot, making him feel like poison had entered his body.
As the old man said, he has anti-virus treasures.
But this is just an ordinary treasure and cannot always prevent the opponent's poison.
"Pfft——"
The old man in gray robe continued to take action.
The elegant man knew that he was no match for the old man, so he kept retreating and escaped from the cave.
But the old man in gray robe immediately gave chase.
Just as the two of them walked out of the cave, the man in black clothes who had fainted from the poison opened his eyes.
"What a powerful toxin. It's colorless and odorless, with no trace at all."
"If I hadn't practiced the Xuanjia Body Refining Technique, I might have ended up here this time."
Li Feiyu looked at the entrance of the cave with a solemn expression.
He immediately noticed something was wrong with the old man and noticed something abnormal.
Immediately close pores and breathe.
But this toxin is really powerful, colorless and odorless, leaving no trace at all.
If he hadn't practiced the body refining technique to the third level, his physical body was comparable to the late stage of qi refining, and he had a certain poison resistance, he would have fallen here.
Without delay, he took out an antidote pill from his storage bag and drank it to cleanse the toxins from his body.
Then he held a talisman in his hand and continued to pretend to be dead, waiting for the old man in gray robe to return.
Not long after, the old man in gray robe rushed back to the cave.
His breath was slightly messy.
In order to make a quick decision and deal with the elegant man, he did not hold back.
"After this trip, I don't have to live the life of licking blood from the edge of a knife anymore."
The gray-robed old man held the second-level demon core in his hand, with a look of joy on his face.
He is over sixty years old and has long since lost the possibility of attacking the foundation.
Now I go out to hunt monsters for the sake of future generations.
However, at this moment, suddenly.
He sensed a heat and a sharpness.
"not good!"
The gray-robed old man subconsciously wanted to create a spiritual energy shield.
But the hasty air shield was directly broken by the fire talisman and the fierce and domineering sword light.
next moment.
"Pfft——"
The sound of a sharp knife penetrating flesh was heard.
The gray-robed old man's vision suddenly rolled over, he fell from the sky, and saw a headless corpse.
It was his own body.
Behind the body, stood a strong man wearing black clothing and holding a long red knife.
"Why isn't he dead?"
The old man in gray robe was shocked and unwilling, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
"call!"
After Li Feiyu beheaded the gray-robed old man with one blow, he let out a long breath.
He was also very nervous about the situation just now.
After all, the old man has the ninth level of Qi refining, while he only has the middle stage of Qi refining.
The only thing to rely on is the body refining technique in the later stage of Qi refining.
He quickly put away the storage bags of the people in the cave.
Then use fire bombs to burn the body to ashes.
"Now that I am returning to Qingluan Fairy City alone, I am afraid that I will be in danger."
"This demon core may allow me to break through the bottleneck in the later stages of Qi refining."
"With the cultivation and body refining skills in the later stage of Qi refining, I will be more confident when I return to Qingluan Immortal City."
Li Feiyu looked at the gray demon core in his hand with a fierce look on his face.
Most monster crystal cores have violent attributes.
If a monk absorbs it directly, it will not only waste energy, but also easily cause harm to the body.
It's not as effective as making an elixir at all.
But under the current situation, Li Feiyu couldn't care less.
Apart from making a small fortune for Lu Changsheng, the affairs of the secret realm of the Black Cloud Mountain Relics did not have any impact on his daily life.
He now spends most of his day making talismans and drawing second-level talismans in preparation for going to Jiuxiao Immortal City.
After nearly a year, he has also saved nearly a hundred second-level spiritual talismans, which can be used to form a talisman array that can kill late-stage foundation building and even fake elixirs.
But when it comes to refining talismans to form a formation, you can never have too many talismans.
The more talismans there are, the more powerful the talisman array is.
Lu Changsheng is not in a hurry to go to Jiuxiao Immortal City, so he is ready to stock up on some talismans.
Moreover, this trip to Jiuxiao Immortal City is a long way, and it will take a long time to go back and forth.
It is estimated that it will take more than half a year, or even a year.
So he also had to arrange the following things properly.
Prepare all the talismans supplied by your own talisman shop and the talismans supplied by the Lu family in advance.
Just like that, three months passed in the blink of an eye.
"boom!"
On this day, Lu Changsheng felt a flow of air pouring into his body.
I knew that my son Lu Quanzhen had broken through to the middle stage of Qi refining.
The children in the family are all waiting to break through the middle stage of Qi refining and then go out to practice.
Lu Changsheng also returned to Qingzhu Mountain to make arrangements for Lu Quanzhen.
This son has a stronger personality and wants to have a try outside.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng did not arrange for him to experience life in Fangshi.
Instead, he was sent to the secular world to follow Hong Yi.
Now Hong Yi has become the prince of Ruyihou.
He is responsible for all the affairs of Ruyi County.
Not only the Jianghu martial arts world, but also secular evil cultivators causing chaos must be dealt with.
Therefore, by arranging this son to go to the secular world, he would not only be able to see the world of martial arts, cultivate immortality in the secular world, and gain experience, but he would not be in any danger.
"Brother Lu, don't worry, I will take good care of my nephew Quan Zhen."
Hong Yi saw Lu Changsheng sending his son to look after him, and as he gained experience, he agreed.
Then he said to a young man of twelve or thirteen years old next to him who was wearing a brocade robe and had an extraordinary bearing: "Xuanji, I will get along well with your brother Quanzhen from now on. We must be brothers and sisters and support each other."
This young man's name is Hong Xuanji, and he is Hong Yi's sixth son. He has a seventh-grade spiritual root and is deeply loved by Hong Yi.
"Yes, father!"
Hong Xuanji heard his father's words and nodded in response.
He also knew that his father's current status had a lot to do with Uncle Lu.
Moreover, the Lu Quanzhen in front of him was only three years older than him, but his cultivation was already in the middle stage of Qi refining. If he made friends with him, it would be helpful to him in the future.
"Quan Zhen, please listen to your Uncle Hong more in the future. If anything happens, just write back."
"Remember to write to your mother on weekdays. When you have time, go home and visit your sister more often."
Qu Zhenzhen, whose eyes were red, said to his son with a look of reluctance.
Although her son is so old, he is still a child in her eyes, and she is very worried about her son coming to the world.
"Mom, don't worry, the child knows."
Lu Quanzhen looked at his mother's appearance with a bit of helplessness on his face.
Immediately, he comforted her, saying that she would pay attention to safety, write home when she had time, and take her sister home to see her, so that my mother could rest assured.
Lu Changsheng looked at this scene with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
I don’t know how Lu Quanzhen developed his temper.
Although he has tutors for his son, he still does it most of the time.
But when Qu Zhenzhen faces his children, although he doesn't say he dotes on them, he is reluctant to beat or scold them.
Even sometimes when teaching children, they feel wronged and feel that they have not taught them well.
So seeing that his son Lu Quanzhen has a precocious personality and is very independent, Lu Changsheng didn't know how to raise him.
It can only be said that some children's personalities may have some influence on them innately.
"Zhenzhen, as long as you want, we can come over often to see Quanzhen."
Lu Changsheng also said to his wife.
After settling his son Lu Quanzhen, Lu Changsheng also brought Qu Zhenzhen to Lu Mansion to stay for a while.
The eldest son, Lu Ping'an, had gone out to explore the world on his own after a year of training with the Red Whale Gang. He has not come back yet.
The second son, Lu Wuyu, under Hong Yi's arrangement, went to a county under Nanyu Prefecture to serve as county magistrate.
Her daughter Lu Wuyou also wants to be a heroine every day and go out into the world, but her mother Lu Zi'er won't let her.
Lu Changsheng was also afraid that his daughter would suffer a loss, so he pretended that he didn't know about it and didn't agree with his daughter going out to explore.
Now that Lu Changsheng and Qu Zhenzhen have come to the Lu Mansion, their wives Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing'er, Lu Zi'er and other concubines have also talked to Lu Changsheng about their children's marriage.
Children like Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile are all seventeen or eighteen years old. When they reach the age of marriage, it is time to consider getting married.
Regarding this aspect, Lu Changsheng was also quite emotional.
I still remember when these children were born.
Before they know it, these children have grown up and are about to get married.
In this regard, he asked Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing'er, Lu Zi'er and others to look after the arrangements.
But the marriage must be approved by one's own children.
After all, with his current situation, there is no need to consider the balance of interests when it comes to the marriage of his children.
The main thing is to let the children be happy and like it, and make their own choices.
