Chapter 180 Heart Demon Cloak

In a mountain forest far away from the Wang family, many people, or should I say, many demons gathered here, including the old man surnamed You and his subordinates, the middle-stage Nascent Soul bone demons who were fighting with Miaoli Shan and others, as well as the inner demon clan and the rebels of the Wang family.

The woman named Xuedan and the two demons Yingxian stood together.

He was holding the magic core in his hand and looking at it constantly, and after confirming each other, he came to the conclusion:

"Although it is incomplete, it is indeed the fifth-level inner demon core. I don't know which fallen senior it came from."

After hearing this, everyone around looked at the demon core with a trace of greed in their eyes.

But it's just greed, and with their courage they don't dare to rob it.

The ghost-faced bone demon said:

"As long as it's true, there's nothing wrong with me waiting for it."

Ye Xiukai, the third-order formation mage who betrayed the Wang family, was also looking at the damaged black ball curiously.

‘It turns out that this demon clan has spent all its efforts just for this thing. ’

Although Ye Xiukai didn't have much knowledge, after hearing the demons talking about it, he understood that it must be a great treasure.

Turning to look at the old man surnamed You floating in the air, he asked cautiously:

"Sir You, what is the noble promise?"

The latter turned his head and turned his ghost face towards Ye Xiu, making his heart tremble.

"Young Ye Ye assists our clan, and our demon clan will provide corresponding rewards."

When he said this, he also looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see something through the clear blue sky:

"Now the time has probably come."

"Is it time?"

When Ye Xiu was confused, he felt a sudden pain in his chest.

He quickly covered it with his hands, then looked inside himself and exclaimed in disbelief:

"How is it possible that the spiritual contract backfires?"

His eyes stared at the old man named You unwillingly, as if he wanted to discern the reason from his ghostly face.

But Ye Xiukai's vision soon became blurred, his true elixir began to disintegrate, his cultivation instantly dissipated, his body turned into "rotten wood", and when blown by the wind, not even dust was left behind.

The pill-forming demons were all frightened when they saw this.

The old man surnamed You said, minding his own business:

“This Wang family’s spiritual contract is really overbearing, even my secret method can’t erase it.

"It's a pity. A third-level formation mage still has some value in cultivation."

Turning to look at the bone demon opposite, he continued:

“It’s been a pleasure cooperating with Daoist Daoist Huang Ze this time. If possible, I would like to cooperate with Daoist Daoist again in the future.”

Huang Ze looked nonchalant and shook his head:

"Let's discuss it next time. If it weren't for the two inner demon friends who made do with it this time, I wouldn't have done such a dangerous thing.

"On the other hand, Fellow Daoist You, as a member of the blood demon clan, have you ever found out the cause of death of my unsatisfactory brother?"

The old man surnamed You touched his chin:

"According to the information from the demon clan, Taoist friend Huang Qi died under the siege of two human monks. One of them claimed to be the True Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood, and the other was named Tantai Lin. Neither of them were simple figures in the Nascent Soul. If you want to take revenge, you , still need to be careful.”

Huang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you fellow Taoist for informing me!"

…

"camouflage?"

There was an unbelievable look in Wei Zhong's eyes.

After seeing the corpses of the blood demon and the bone demon, Wei Zhong knew that there was a huge gap between the demon race and the human race, and the body structure alone could not be disguised.

Not to mention the breath and the dark demonic energy flowing throughout the body.

"Why!"

As if he knew what Wei Zhong was thinking, Miaoli Shan interrupted directly:

“There is a difference between the demon clan and the devil clan, especially the inner demon clan who have long given up their bodies to seize others.

“It only exists in the incorporeal form of its soul, and the only part of its body that can barely be considered as a physical entity is its core, which we call the demon core.

“It’s just like the golden elixir of human monks like us, it’s a condensed body of cultivation, and it’s not easily revealed to others.

"The purpose of using this object is not to pretend to be a real inner demon clan, but just to pretend to be a human being whose body has been taken away.

"Those inner demons hide their heads and show their tails, and dare not show them to others. All you need to do is learn from them and hide their heads and tail."

Wei Zhong rubbed his chin, and suddenly felt that there was some truth in Miaoli Shan's words.

"Pretend to be a human being whose body has been taken away, and then use this cortex to show some of the characteristics of the inner demon?"

Miaoli Shan nodded:

"There are detailed descriptions of the demon clan within the Chamber of Commerce, and among them are the characteristics of the inner demon clan.

"With the guild master's weapon refining methods, it is easy to refine it into a magic weapon that is both offensive and counterfeit."

Although Wei Zhong was very tempted by Miaolishan's proposal, he had no intention of pretending to be a member of the inner demon clan and doing something big.

‘Both of my alchemy weapons have reached the fourth level, and I have no shortage of training resources, so why take risks for this.

‘It would be a good idea to lend out the refined magic weapon. You might be able to earn some merit for it. ’

Wei Zhong couldn't help but think of the time when Tantai Lin took the head of the Yuanying Demon Clan to find Senior Huashen in exchange for merit.

‘I wonder what good things the other party got in exchange? If I refine this magical weapon, I am afraid that the merits I can obtain over many years will not be comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Demon Clan. ’

"The materials for refining this magical weapon?"

Wei Zhong asked cautiously.

Since it is such an important magic weapon, its grade cannot be lower. It is most likely to be a treasure among the fourth grade.

As a fourth-level weapon refiner, Wei Zhong naturally knows how precious this item is, and the amount of spiritual materials and spiritual stones required to refine it is definitely not a small sum.

Miaolishan smiled:

"We will discuss this issue after we meet the leader."

Wei Zhong nodded, already having the idea of ​​mortgaging the magic weapon to the Chamber of Commerce for a hundred years in exchange for refining spiritual materials.

…

Six hours later, Lingzhou arrived at Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, the Chamber of Commerce was already in an uproar because of the Wang family's affairs.

The news spread much faster than the return of Wei Zhong and others.

After taking care of the business affairs of the chamber of commerce, Miaoli Shan took Wei Zhong to Xiaohe Mountain again.

After listening to his apprentice's description of the Wang family incident, Shan Jie nodded with a slightly solemn look on his face.

“It’s really rare for these three demons to appear together.

"The Heart Demon clan was originally alienated from the other two clans, but now they are able to unite together. It seems that the treasures within the Wang family have made the demon clan very excited."

He murmured a few words, and then fell into deep thought for a moment.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Wei Zhong.

"You are quite capable of breaking free from the bone demon's joint bone cage."

"It's just that the demon fled in confusion and gave this junior a chance," Wei Zhong was as humble as ever.

Shan Ji waved his hand:

"Opportunities are opportunities, but they have to be caught by someone. Besides, the fact that you were able to kill two demons in the chaos shows that you are pretty good at it.

"Leave those two mutilated corpses to my Yunji Chamber of Commerce. As for compensation, they will be handed over to you in a few days, and you will definitely be satisfied."

"Thank you, host!"

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Miaolishan urged Wei Zhong to take out the inner demon skin.

Shan Ji saw the leather in Wei Zhong's hand, his expression froze for a moment, and he sighed:

"It's such a rare thing. Tell me, how did it come about?"

Wei Zhong had no choice but to explain what happened in the first place.

Shan Ji lamented:

“What a blessing.

"Most of the inner demon clan exists in the form of spiritual souls. After they seize the human body, their powerful spiritual power will partially transform the human body.

"The person whose body has been taken away has fair skin, and when he uses the power of the inner demon, a little bit of fluorescence will be stimulated on his body surface."

When he said this, his fingertips lightly touched the cortex, and a powerful spiritual power poured into it.

Wei Zhong indeed saw what the fluorescent dots were.

It was just like the meteor shower that filled the sky that day at Wang's house.

At the same time, as if his mind was captured by it, Wei Zhong couldn't take his eyes away from this piece of leather for a long time.

Only after Miaoli Shan slapped her on the shoulder did she wake up.

A trace of fear emerged in my heart:

‘This inner demon skin is really weird.

‘It’s a good thing that the Qi Refining monk who sneaked up on me didn’t know how to use this thing, otherwise I would be in danger.

At the same time, he also realized that the power of this thing was very different in the hands of monks of different levels.

Wei Zhong had obtained this skin for two hundred years, but was unable to use it as a treasure of divine consciousness. However, in the hands of Shan Ji at the Nascent Soul stage, this skin easily turned into a sharp weapon.

"Don't stare at this cortex for a long time. If you are fighting with inner demons in the future, you should also avoid looking at each other, let alone long-term eye contact. Those with weak spiritual consciousness will easily fall into the trap."

Shan Ji reminded him softly, and Wei Zhong nodded and kept these words in mind.

Miaoli Shan saw that the discussion between the two had stopped and took the opportunity to express his thoughts.

Shan Ji couldn't help but nod after hearing this:

"It's a good idea. But once this weapon is refined, it cannot be used as your Wei Zhong's personal weapon."

Wei Zhong looked calm, having already been mentally prepared for this.

Shanjie continued to explain:

"My ancestors of the human race successfully developed this kind of magic weapon thousands of years ago, and it is called the Heart Demon Cloak.

"It is a secret treasure of spiritual consciousness, and it is also a disguised treasure. It can be attached to the body surface of a monk, forming characteristics that are indistinguishable from those of a person whose body has been taken away by the inner demon.

“It played an important role in the war between the human race and the demon race, and it is a well-deserved important weapon of the human race.

"The complete refining method has been mastered by the gods of the human race throughout the ages, and has been granted to the major Nascent Soul forces.

"While enjoying these methods, the human race's higher-ups also have the right to requisition the refined magical weapons for a short period of time."

Wei Zhong frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a big connection behind a magic weapon.

"Of course, the requisition is not a waste of time. As the owner of the magical weapon, there will always be rewards for meritorious service during the collection of the magical weapon.

"This meritorious service cannot be compared to the contribution points I have gathered within the Chamber of Commerce. The redeemable items range from the first level to the fifth level.

"It is a real treasure house. With enough merit, you can even exchange it for Nascent Soul resources and even the treasure of the God Transformation..."

Shan Jie's words were full of infinite temptation, but Wei Zhong remained calm in his heart.

Those good things are not that easy to get. I am afraid that this magic weapon of mine is not qualified.

"No need to say anything, Master, I know the general idea. Just follow what the Master said!"

I stroked my beard with one finger and felt very happy.

"In this case, I will start refining it. I'm afraid it will take a long time. You can wait for some time in Yunzhou City first."

Wei Zhong nodded, then said goodbye and left with Miaoli Shan.

After the banquet of the Wang family came to an end, Wei Zhong had no intention of returning to Luohe Mansion in a hurry. Instead, he planned to learn the art of refining fourth-level puppets in the Chamber of Commerce's Artifact Palace.

Walking on the streets crowded with chambers of commerce, Wei Zhong not only heard people talking about the Wang family, but also felt the increasingly solemn atmosphere inside the chamber of commerce.

There are obviously more monks on duty at the entrances and exits of the Chamber of Commerce's formation, and they are all led by Danjie monks. They are afraid that unscrupulous people like those of the Wang family will sneak into the Chamber of Commerce.

‘It seems that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce is not as indifferent as Miaoli Shan said. ’

The Wang family's lessons are right in front of them, and any responsible leader will not ignore this matter.

Wei Zhong walked along the mountain path to Yunduan Mountain, entered the palace, and found that there were a lot of weapon refiners missing.

After asking Zhuge Zhao about it, I learned that in three months there will be a competition held every five years in Duodian.

This meeting not only fights, but also tests skills.

Those weapon refiners who specialize in the art of puppetry all have many apprentices under their command, and matters related to the master's reputation cannot be handled casually.

Anyway, due to the shortage of materials, the research on level 4 puppets has almost come to a standstill. After these masters of weapon refining petitioned the leader, they each returned to teach their own disciples, trying to do a "pre-examination thrust" in the last three months.

"How come Fellow Daoist Zhuge is still here and not helping his disciples?"

Wei Zhong asked in confusion, but all he heard was:

"The Puppet Hall is just a small hall, and there are not many disciples in the hall. Although some of my unscrupulous disciples have mediocre cultivation, they are extremely talented in the puppet art and have become well-known senior brothers and sisters in the hall.

"In this way, how can any disciple in the palace compare with him? The rest is just fighting within the same sect. How can I, the master, favor my disciples at this critical moment?"

Wei Zhong was surprised:

‘Together, this Puppet Hall will become the official hall of your Zhuge family. ’

"Fellow Taoist Wei has just come to the Chamber of Commerce. I haven't asked you yet if you have any high-level disciples under your sect?"

Wei Zhong chuckled:

"There used to be, but the villains rebelled and were purged by me."

Zhuge Zhao nodded, his years of experience made him familiar with this:

"Fellow Taoist, you can consider the children of the Chamber of Commerce. There are many talented people among them. At the same time, because they have little contact with the spiritual world, they retain a bit of innocence that is rare for monks..."

Wei Zhong could only nod in agreement, but he had no intention of accepting a disciple in a short time.

Looking at the spherical object in Zhuge Zhao's hand, Wei Zhong became somewhat interested:

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, are you studying the psychic core of the puppet?"

"Exactly! The spiritual materials required for the fourth-level psychic core are too precious and difficult to refine. I am thinking of replacing them with multiple third-level cores in series.

"It's just that the difficulty doesn't seem to have decreased much. Pindao is in trouble..."

"Oh, what fellow Taoist thinks coincides with mine..."

The two discussed the matter of refining the psychic core for a long time, and when they got up, they started refining the weapon...

More than a month passed like this, when a voice from a disciple outside the hall interrupted the process.

"There are people from the Luo family and monks from the Wang family looking for me?"

Wei Zhong had not forgotten the deal he had agreed with the Luo family, but why was this visitor from the Wang family coming?

Wei Zhong went to the peripheral city and saw two people who were somewhat familiar.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, and this little friend, Wang Boshang?"
