MTLNOVEL Chapter 223: 530' Something is wrong. Something is very wrong. 539'Jade Void Burning Blood Pill
530 Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.Chapter 530 Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.As early as when Luo Mingyi just arrived at the gate of Foyou City, her spiritual sense noticed this disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
When she showed the disciple token of Danxia Immortal Sect, the disciple of Wanfo Sect noticed her, or rather, he saw the golden Fanyang Pearl hanging around her waist at one glance.
Luo Mingyi smiled faintly and said to the disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect: "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Taoist!"
Under the guidance of the young monk, they soon arrived in front of a huge golden Buddha statue sitting cross-legged on a stone in the Buddha City.
Luo Mingyi noticed that no matter whether they were mortals or monks in the city, as long as they passed by this golden Buddha statue, they would stop temporarily, bow to the statue with great respect, and then continue walking.
The same is naturally true for the disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. Although Luo Mingyi is not a Buddhist practitioner, he is very respectful of Buddhist monks.
He then put his hands together with his ten fingers together, held them in front of him, lowered his head slightly and performed a namaste gesture.
Seeing this, the disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect turned around and smiled kindly at Luo Mingyi, "Senior Luo, please follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddhist beads in his hand shook gently, and a slight fluctuation of the formation appeared beside the huge Buddhist monk standing in front of them.
Then, the disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect leaped forward and disappeared in front of her.
Luo Mingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, then followed behind him, taking one step across the formation, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
A Buddhist palace with red walls and yellow tiles appeared in front of her.
What shocked Luo Mingyi the most was that on the outer walls of this grand temple, there were thousands of different Buddha statues carved in various shapes. This sacred and majestic scene made people feel awe!
Above this temple, there is a golden plaque hanging, which reads "Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas"!
How could she remember that the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas was the foundation of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect? How come it appeared here?
As if seeing the confusion on Luo Mingyi's face, the Wanfo Sect disciple standing next to her explained: "Senior Luo, this is not the real Wanfo Temple."
Luo Mingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of ambiguous smile flashed across his eyes. "It turned out to be a mirage. I am so ignorant!"
Finally, after traveling around, Luo Mingyi realized that wherever there are Buddhist practitioners, there will be this illusory Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Perhaps, this is the power of faith!
After passing through the Buddha statue formation, the two of them came to the monks' market set up in the Buddha's Blessing City.
Since this place is within the sphere of influence of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, along the way, Luo Mingyi saw 80% of the practitioners on the streets were Buddhists.
However, Luo Mingyi noticed that among all the shops in this market, there were only two medicine shops on the street. The rest were all Buddhist instruments, wood carvings of Buddha statues, Buddhist scriptures, secret books, and jade.
After walking through two streets, the two of them finally arrived at "Jingxinzhai". Under the guidance of the young monk, they came directly to one of the rooms on the third floor.
As soon as she entered, Luo Mingyi saw that face that was so beautiful that it could captivate a whole country.
"Fellow Daoist Mingjing, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as charming as ever!" Luo Mingyi said politely.
Ming Jing stood up slowly, his moon-white monk's robe rustling as he stood up.
"Fellow Daoist Luo is indeed punctual. Huichan, you go out first!" Mingjing nodded at her, and then said to the young monk behind her.
"Yes, uncle master!" After saying this, the young monk Huichan left the room, and thoughtfully closed the door.
After the two of them sat down, Mingjing poured Luo Mingyi a cup of spiritual tea. Then, with a flip of his hand, ten golden Fanyang beads appeared in front of Luo Mingyi.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, I have already refined the ten Brahma Yang beads that we promised you. They can protect you from the invasion of the Nether Brush Cold Poison for the next thirty years."
Luo Mingyi's face lit up with joy, and he placed a storage bag that he had prepared long ago on the table.
"Fellow Daoist Mingjing, according to our agreement, one Fanyang Pearl can be exchanged for fifty Diyuan Pills and fifty Yuhua Pills.
There are a total of 500 top-grade Diyuan Pills and 500 Yuhua Pills in this storage bag. Can you check them first to see if they are correct? "
Mingjing did not check it, but directly put the storage bag into his sleeve.
"No need for that. Mingjing naturally believes in Fellow Daoist Luo."
Luo Mingyi waved her hand and put the ten Fanyang beads into the storage ring. She felt a lot more at ease.
In the next thirty years, there is no need to worry about the cold poison of the underworld. Thinking of this, Luo Mingyi said with a hint of gratitude:
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Mingjing. If you need any more elixirs in the future, please let me know. Mingyi will definitely do his best to complete them!"
Ming Jing nodded and asked again: "In that case, Ming Jing would like to ask, are these pills made by Fellow Daoist Luo himself?"
Luo Mingyi nodded slightly, "Of course."
When Mingjing heard this, his eyes immediately became excited. He suddenly stood up and saluted towards Luo Mingyi.
Seeing this, Luo Mingyi quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
"Friend Mingjing, what's the matter?"
Ming Jing hummed lightly, "Since these pills were all made by Fellow Daoist Luo, his alchemy skills must have reached the fifth level or above!
Mingjing wants to trade with fellow Daoist Luo once again. Please refine some elixirs for me. As long as the elixirs are ready, if fellow Daoist needs the Brahma Yang Pearl in the future, just say a word and Mingjing will hand it over to you with both hands and will never go back on his word! "
Luo Mingyi nodded, "Of course you can, but Fellow Daoist Mingjing should first tell me what kind of elixir you want to refine. If I can't refine it successfully, you can ask my master for help."
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Mingjing suddenly froze, became visibly nervous, and his face turned red. Even when he was speaking, his eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look directly at Luo Mingyi.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, I, I believe that you can succeed in refining it, so there is no need to ask others!
Even if I can't refine it, it doesn't matter! "
Luo Mingyi always felt something was strange, and was still wondering whether he should take on the deal.
But Mingjing didn't allow her to refuse. He stood up and put a storage bag on the table, speaking very quickly.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, I leave everything to you! Once the elixir is refined, please send a message to me. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, Ming Jing turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the room.
Luo Mingyi was slightly startled. This Mingjing was so abnormal!
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong!
But after her consciousness sank into the storage bag, her whole body suddenly stopped for a moment and she raised her voice in disbelief.
"What? This is the Pill for Severing Delusion and Eliminating Lust!"
In the distance, Ming Jing, who was fleeing, suddenly staggered and sneezed uncontrollably.
"Hah!"531: Bright Sun City
Chapter 531: Bright Sun City
The Pill for Cutting Off Delusions and Desires, as the name suggests, is a pill used to cut off delusions and desires.
Whether in the past life or in today's world. In her memory, Buddhist monks all have a solemn appearance, a pure heart, and are otherworldly.
But this mirror,
Luo Mingyi picked up the pill recipe and looked at it for a long time before putting away the storage bag that Mingjing handed to her.
In addition to the recipe for the Pill to Cut Off Delusion and Eliminate Desire, this storage bag also contains ten spiritual herbs needed to make the pill.
It seems that this mirror should have been prepared long ago!
Never mind. Although she felt a little strange in her heart, after all, Ming Jing had done her a favor. It was just a matter of refining ten pills, which was a piece of cake.
But Mingjing's attitude made Luo Mingyi feel that he might have some unspeakable secrets.
Of course, although Luo Mingyi was curious, he would not ask around casually.
After walking out of the wing room, Luo Mingyi found the servant and booked a room in the upper room of Jingxinzhai.
Afterwards, he set up a formation in the room and began to refine the elixir.
In less than a day, Luo Mingyi had completed refining all ten batches of the Delusion-Extinguishing Desire Pill.
Ever since her soul body doubled in size, Luo Mingyi discovered that her alchemy skills had made some obvious progress.
These ten furnaces of the Elixir of Delusion and Absence of Lust are all full and of top quality!
Thinking of the effect of this pill, Luo Mingyi put all the one hundred top-grade Delusion-Extinguishing Desire Pills into a medicine bottle and planned to give them all to Mingjing.
On the second day, after Luo Mingyi sent the message, Mingjing only sent his nephew Huichan to get the elixir.
Luo Mingyi guessed that Mingjing might be embarrassed. So without asking any more questions, he handed the pill to Huichan and left Foyou City directly, turning into a beam of light and disappearing into the sky.
After a while, Huichan returned to Mingjing's cave and handed the medicine bottle to Mingjing respectfully, but asked with some doubt:
"Uncle Master, why don't you explain to Senior Luo that you took this elixir because your pure Yang body is not flawless."
Ming Jing shook his head, but after opening the white jade medicine bottle, his eyes were slightly shocked, it turned out to be of top quality!
"Hui Chan, please go back. I am going to retreat and cultivate my energy! I will not come out of retreat until I reach the Yuan state of mind!"
The original state of mind in Buddhist practice is actually the Yuanying stage, but due to different Taoist methods, the names are naturally different.
The journey from the Wanfo Sect to the Daoshenlei Sect is less than two months.
Luo Mingyi left half a year in advance in order to obtain the two strands of yin and yang energy needed for the fourth space upgrade.
During the period of seclusion, Luo Mingyi had carefully read the scripture library in the sect, and found that it contained records of many extremely yin and yang things in the world that could give birth to the yin and yang energies.
For example, in the eighth-grade exotic fire, there will be a trace of extreme yang energy hidden in the dry yang true fire. There is also the legendary water of the Styx, from which the extremely yin energy can also be extracted.
And whether it is the Gan Yang True Fire or the Water of the Styx, they have always been legends in the world of immortal cultivation. Even the Divine Phoenix, which has lived for tens of thousands of years, has never heard of such things.
Fortunately, although this item is hard to find, as long as you pay attention, you can always find some clues.
Thousands of years ago, a kind of jade called Jinwu Langjing was dug out from a mine in Haori City.
Although this jade contains only a tiny amount of the ultimate yang power, if the quantity is large enough, it will definitely be able to extract a ray of ultimate yang energy!
Moreover, this Haori City is the famous jade capital in Xuanyuan Continent.
It is said that there are tens of thousands of mines of all sizes in the city, and the amount of ore mined each year is enough to reach over a million!
A month later, when Luo Mingyi came to Haori City, he realized that this city was as prosperous as an empire!
If you want to enter the Haori City, you not only need to show a token or document that can prove your identity, but you also need to pay an entry fee of one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
These were not a big deal for Luo Mingyi. But it was still daybreak and outside the Haori City, there were already nearly a thousand people queuing up to enter the city.
As in other places, mortals were in one row and monks in another.
Fortunately, there are only dozens of people in this group of monks.
Luo Mingyi hid her cultivation level at the middle stage of foundation building and was ranked last. In less than half a cup of tea, it was her turn.
After all, Danxia Immortal Sect is one of the three major immortal sects. The two people guarding the city gate are both in the Foundation Establishment Stage. When they saw Luo Mingyi's identity token, they immediately stood up and saluted Luo Mingyi.
"So you are a fellow Taoist from the Immortal Sect. Please come in. You can enter the city without paying any spirit stones!"
Luo Mingyi was slightly surprised, but he just smiled faintly and bowed slightly.
"In that case, thank you both fellow Taoists!"
After saying that, he quickly walked into the city amid the envy of others.
As soon as you step into the Haori City, a scorching breath hits you in the face, but it is blocked by a protective spiritual light.
On both sides of the wide street, there are shops one after another, and inside the shops are filled with all kinds of mineral crystals!
But Luo Mingyi discovered that in this Haori City, mortals accounted for the majority, while the number of cultivators was less than 30% at most.
The most eye-catching thing is the thirteen-story tower standing tall in the Haori City, called "Hao Ri Tower".
It is the largest store that sells the most comprehensive range of spiritual mineral crystals.
This is Luo Mingyi's destination on this trip.
However, before Luo Mingyi arrived at the bottom of the Haori Tower, he was attracted by a shop called "Gambling Stone Shop".
She remembered that the Purple Spiritual Flame was what she sensed from a pile of various spiritual ores. It's still early now, so you can go in and try your luck.
This gambling stone shop is divided into three floors, and the price of the ore on each floor is different.
In the first level, each piece of ore is sold for one hundred low-grade spirit stones. All the ores were piled in the center of the site, and nearly a thousand monks formed a circle on the periphery, each selecting the ore they liked.
Luo Mingyi randomly picked ten ores and walked into the second floor.
Each piece of ore in the second layer is sold for one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and Luo Mingyi also picked out ten pieces each.
They soon arrived at the third floor. Like the previous two floors, all the ores were piled in the center of the venue, but there were less than ten cultivators.
The selling price of the ore in the third layer reached one hundred medium-grade spirit stones. Luo Mingyi originally planned to randomly pick ten pieces of ores to try her luck, but she didn't expect that among these tens of thousands of ores, there were actually a few that produced a slight reaction with her!
Luo Mingyi quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart and calmly selected twenty pieces of ores from the third layer.
Among them, three were the minerals that had a connection with her!532 Rumors, the Power of Origin
Chapter 532 Rumors, the Power of Origin
After handing over the spirit stones, Luo Mingyi rejected the servant's sword intention to cut the ore on the spot. He put all the forty pieces of ores of different colors into the storage ring and left the gambling stone shop.
As soon as she left, a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage left the gambling stone shop and followed her from a distance.
All of this was naturally seen by Luo Mingyi's powerful spiritual sense.
I didn't expect that in such a prosperous city like Haori, there would be such despicable rats.
He was just a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and posed no threat to her. The most important thing at the moment is to go to the Haori Tower and see if there is the Golden Crow Crystal that she needs!
Soon, Luo Mingyi arrived under the Haori Tower.
It seemed that because she was closer, she discovered that the mysterious glow on the building was actually all formation runes!
It seems that there might be a very powerful formation master hidden in this Haori City.
At the entrance gate of the Haori Tower, there stood five female cultivators who were capable of linking Qi, and five male cultivators who were capable of linking Qi.
They were not very old, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. Even the clothing is uniform.
He was wearing a very neat light blue robe, with cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and two eye-catching golden characters, "Hao Ri".
Seeing Luo Mingyi coming to the gate of Haori Building and preparing to go in, the ten people all showed their standard smiles, bowed and saluted in unison.
"Welcome, senior, to the Haori Tower!"
Luo Mingyi just smiled faintly, and after she went in, a handsome male cultivator with Qi Chain came out jogging from among the ten people.
"Senior, my name is Little Stone. If you need anything, just let me know."
Luo Mingyi stopped. There were too many minerals and jades on the first floor of Haori Tower, many of which she had never seen before.
Besides, this was her first time here and she didn't know many of the rules, so it would be helpful to have a guide.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Seeing Luo Mingyi agreed, Xiao Shitou's face immediately showed joy.
"Senior, we have all kinds of spiritual minerals and crystals in the Haori Building, you will definitely be able to buy what you need.
I just don't know what the seniors need? "
Luo Mingyi said calmly: "Golden Crow Crystal."
Hearing this, the joy on Xiao Shitou's face immediately faded away, and his expression became a little ugly.
"Senior, perhaps you came here because of that rumor. In fact, this Golden Crow Crystal has not appeared for at least a thousand years."
Luo Mingyi was a little confused, "What rumor?"
Little Stone was slightly startled, then he immediately covered his mouth and looked around. Seeing that no one noticed them, he was obviously relieved.
But he still pursed his lips tightly, looking as if he dared not speak.
Luo Mingyi frowned, then threw over a medium-grade spirit stone.
In the end, it was the spirit stone that overcame the fear in his heart. The little stone looked around and whispered, "Senior, can we talk for a moment?"
Then, the little stone took Luo Mingyi to a counter with fewer monks, and then continued:
"Ten years ago, late one night, when everything was quiet, a natural mine in Haori City suddenly exploded.
Even though I was only five years old at the time, I could hear that sound very clearly in the village outside the city.
After dawn, a word came out from nowhere. Golden Crow Crystal was discovered inside the mine in Haori City!
Legend has it that there is a trace of original power in this Golden Crow Crystal! The power of origin, if you can obtain it, you can ascend to become an immortal in one fell swoop! "
When Xiao Shitou said this, Luo Mingyi had already frowned tightly. How could the original power be hidden in a piece of jade?
But at this time, Xiao Shitou became obviously extremely excited. He didn't notice the change in Luo Mingyi's expression at all and continued talking to himself.
"Since then, every year, many monks who heard the news would come and want to buy this Golden Crow Crystal. There were even many fights and deaths due to this rumor!
Unfortunately, Xiao Shitou has been in the Haori Tower for three years, but has never seen this treasure, and doesn't know whether it is real or fake!
However, even if there really is one, it might not be my turn! "
At this point, Little Stone sighed in great frustration.
Luo Mingyi thought for a moment and decided that since he was already here, he might as well take a good look around the Haori Tower first!
Next, under Xiao Shitou's introduction, Luo Mingyi bought a lot of rare and precious jade crystals.
I also bought a lot of Gangjin Sand. When I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I can add this Gangjin Sand into the Mo Yuan Sword and smelt it again.
Not only can it greatly enhance the defense and weight of the Mo Yuan Sword, but even under the influence of the heavenly tribulation, it can be upgraded to an innate spiritual treasure!
Seeing Luo Mingyi buying so many treasures, Xiao Shitou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth!
Who could have imagined that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage would actually buy a treasure worth 10,000 high-quality spirit stones. This commission alone is enough to offset his salary for three years of hard work!
After sending Luo Mingyi out of the gate of Haori Tower, Xiao Shitou proudly walked into the Haori Tower amid the envious gazes of others.
Luo Mingyi entered an inn called "Xianyuan Pavilion" and stayed there.
After all, this little stone had only been in the world of immortal cultivation for a few years, so it was very likely that he had only heard about what happened ten years ago.
However, Luo Mingyi was not in a hurry.
Perhaps tonight, the cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage in the gambling stone shop who has been following her will be unable to wait any longer.
What he knew must be much more than this Qi-chaining cultivator who had just entered the world of immortal cultivation.
It was the afternoon, so it was still relatively early. After Luo Mingyi set up the formation in the room, he flashed into the space and stood in front of a pile of unmined ore.
Then, Luo Mingyi waved her hand, and the twenty pieces of minerals of different colors that she bought on the first two floors of the gambling stone shop today swished and were arranged one after another and floated in front of her.
The Mo Yuan sword came out in response, waving out several sword lights.
When the sword light dissipated, the twenty pieces of ore had been neatly cut into two halves and were suspended in front of Luo Mingyi.
Luo Mingyi raised her eyes slightly, and everything was just as she expected. These ores were just some common refining materials, such as refined iron, ordinary five-element jade, etc.
Next, Luo Mingyi waved her hand again, and the three pieces of minerals that had previously created a sense of connection with her were suspended in front of her.
These three pieces of minerals don't seem to be anything special, but since they can create a sense of connection with her, it seems that they must be special.
In that case, Luo Mingyi flicked his finger, and three balls of purple spiritual flames with a slightly diluted color instantly appeared under the three pieces of ores, completely wrapping them up. The next second, a series of "crackling" sounds were heard!533 Silver Fragments, Two Choices
Chapter 533 Silver Fragments, Two Choices
As the crackling sound came, in an instant, the three pieces of ores wrapped in the purple spiritual flame began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Luo Mingyi stared straight at the three pieces of ore that had shrunk to the size of a fist, and the throbbing in his heart became more and more intense.
"What is in this ore?"
As the three pieces of ore became smaller and smaller, only the size of eggs, three crisp "crack" sounds were suddenly heard in succession.
Three streaks of silver light suddenly burst out from the three pieces of ores. At the same time, Luo Mingyi suddenly widened his eyes.
The silver mark on her left hand suddenly lit up, as if it had some sense with the three pieces of minerals.
Then, three sounds of ore exploding were heard, "Bang! Bang! Bang!", and three finger-sized silver fragments flew out from the three pieces of ore.
The target was the silver mark on Luo Mingyi's left hand.
At this time, Luo Mingyi already had the answer in her mind. It seemed that the silver mark in her hand was the one that reacted to the three silver fragments.
However, just when the three silver fragments were about to fall on the silver mark on Luo Mingyi's left hand.
She felt a sudden sharp pain in her chest, and then a diamond-shaped crystal with colorful glow shot out from her chest.
Boundary stone, what is it doing here!
Just as Luo Mingyi was wondering, the boundary stone rushed to the three silver fragments at lightning speed and passed through them!
Immediately afterwards, the three silver fragments disappeared, and the boundary stone turned around, then shot back, rushed into Luo Mingyi's chest, and disappeared!
At the same time, the silver mark on her left hand flickered slightly and then returned to calm again.
It's like nothing just happened!
But at this moment, a powerful squeezing force came from all directions. Luo Mingyi's heart suddenly trembled, and his whole body flashed and appeared outside the space.
Her pupils trembled slightly. What was going on? She hadn't even found the yin and yang energies yet, so why was the space squeezing her out?
She even completely lost her sense of space once again.
Could it be that all this is because of those three silver fragments!
What exactly is this silver fragment? What is the relationship between it and the silver mark on her hand? Why did Jieshi suddenly try to snatch this thing?
A series of questions made Luo Mingyi feel a headache. Even this time, the space closed too quickly, and the connection between her and the spirit beasts, Xuanshuang and Shenhuang in the space was very weak.
Luo Mingyi sighed slightly. She just kept waiting.
Without the slow flow of time in space, Luo Mingyi only needed to draw a few source symbols from the mysterious ancient book, and in a blink of an eye it was already late at night.
But at this moment, Luo Mingyi's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
After putting away the source talisman on the table, she came to the bed and began to meditate with her eyes closed.
Sure enough, after Luo Mingyi's breathing gradually stabilized, a tall man quietly appeared in the room.
After Luo Mingyi left the space, he had already withdrawn all the formations in the room. He just casually set up a second-level soundproof formation and stayed in the room.
After sneaking into the room, the man noticed Luo Mingyi who was meditating and practicing.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at Luo Mingyi with eyes as cruel as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.
But before taking action, the man took out a circular array plate from the storage bag on his waist.
The moment the formation plate fell, the formation flags flew to the four corners of the room, and then a thin layer of spiritual light curtain enveloped the entire room.
But at the moment when he took out the magic sword and was about to take action, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind him.
The man was startled and turned around suddenly, only to find that there was nothing behind him.
But at this moment, a cold female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Young man, why are you following me today?"
These words rang in the man's ears like a bolt from the blue. Feeling the extremely powerful pressure coming from behind him, the man could no longer bear it. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in the direction of the voice.
"Please forgive me, Senior. I am Wang Ming, and I have disturbed you because I didn't recognize you. I beg you to spare my life. I will serve you like a slave and die for you!"
Luo Mingyi's current cultivation has reached the thirteenth level of the Jindan stage, and the spiritual pressure he releases with all his strength is no different from that of a cultivator in the early Yuanying stage.
She snorted, "Wang Ming, answer me, or you will die!"
Wang Ming didn't dare to look up. Seeing that Luo Mingyi seemed to be angry, he kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"It's my fault. When I entered the city, I saw your identity token. I thought you were just a foundation-building cultivator who had just come out of a large sect to gain experience, so I had evil thoughts in my mind.
I hope you will forgive me, senior. I will never do it again! "
After saying this, he continued to kowtow without delay.
Luo Mingyi smiled faintly, "You dare to tell the truth. If I am really a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building today, I am afraid that I would have been deceived by you by now!
However, your cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage is nothing to me.
It's annoying to keep this useless person. It would be better to kill him and be done with it all! "
Luo Mingyi spoke slowly, and every word was just enough for the person in front of him to hear clearly.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Wang Ming completely abandoned his defenses and quickly said:
"I am useful. I am of great use to you, Senior!"
Seeing that Luo Mingyi did not object, Wang Ming was delighted and continued:
"I am a cultivator who was born and raised in Haori City. I don't know everything that happened in Haori City, but I know most of it.
This should be the first time for the senior to come to Haori City. Perhaps, he came here for the Golden Crow Crystal! "
Just as he finished speaking, an extremely sharp sword light suddenly appeared across Wang Ming's neck.
"Why, you actually investigated me?"
Wang Mingqiang suppressed his fear and said in a trembling voice, "Senior, you have misunderstood. I have lived here since I was a child. I can remember how many new faces appear in Haori City every day.
This is the first time I have seen your face, so I am sorry for disturbing you. Please forgive me this time! "
However, Luo Mingyi did not retract the sword light, but said casually:
"I will give you two choices. First, hand over a strand of your soul and follow me from now on and work for me.
As for the second option, do you think that, under the circumstances, I will let him leave here safely?
Wang Ming, make your own choice! "Chapter 534 Half Human, Half Demon
Chapter 534 Half Human, Half Demon
"Choose, I choose, to submit to my master forever!"
Although there are two choices, Wang Ming knows very well in his heart that since he stepped into this door today, there is no turning back!
The result of all this now is all his own fault because he is not as skilled as others. He does not blame anyone but himself for being unlucky.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected. Being able to follow such a young Yuanying Zhenjun may not necessarily be a bad thing.
After he finished speaking, Wang Ming cut off a strand of his soul and placed it in his hands.
Seeing this, Luo Mingyi waved his hand and put Wang Ming's soul into a jade box and kept it away.
"Get up. From now on, as long as you work hard for me, I will give you some luck, return this soul to you, and give you freedom!"
Wang Ming immediately showed gratitude on his face. He kowtowed to Luo Mingyi repeatedly to express his gratitude, then slowly stood up and looked up.
But he only saw a beautiful woman with half-closed eyes and a moon-like face standing in front of him. A trace of surprise that was difficult to conceal flashed across his eyes, and he quickly lowered his eyes and whispered:
"I wonder what the master will do next?"
Luo Mingyi glanced at him calmly and said, "I want to know whether the rumor about the Golden Crow Crystal ten years ago is true or false!
Tell us everything you know! "
Wang Ming cupped his hands, "So the master wanted to know about this matter. What a coincidence. Ten years ago, I was working in the Lord's Mansion of Haori City, and the one who supervised this matter was none other than my master!"
"Since the master already knows the rumors here, he must have also heard about the shocking explosion ten years ago.
The explosion occurred in Haori City, inside the No. 19 mine. Before that, about fifteen years ago, Lord Baoli, the third city lord of Haori City, ordered to dig out the Golden Crow Crystal from the nineteenth mine! "
Luo Mingyi raised his eyebrows and said incredulously: "Could it be that they really dug up this Golden Crow Crystal!"
Wang Ming took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
"We have dug them up. There are quite a lot of them, probably at least several hundred! However, just when the monks who dug out the Golden Crow Crystals were about to hand them over, a rumor spread from somewhere.
Anyone who obtains the Golden Crow Crystal can obtain the original power of the world, ascend to heaven in one day, and become an immortal! "
"Although it was just a rumor, in order to fight for that ray of immortal fate, for a while, no one was willing to hand over the Golden Crow Crystal. Even under the pressure of the entire Haori City and a Yuanying Zhenjun.
This explosion was planned by fifteen foundation-building monks in the 19th mine.
Unfortunately, by the time Master and we arrived, the fifteen people had already disappeared. It was precisely because of this incident that Master Baoli, in a fit of rage, killed several people on the spot.
Among them was my master. "
Luo Mingyi frowned, "Those fifteen people are just foundation-building cultivators. Even if they planned ahead, how could they escape the pursuit of the entire Haori City forces, and how could they perfectly avoid the huge consciousness of a Yuanying Zhenjun!"
Wang Ming nodded, obviously agreeing with Luo Mingyi's words.
"Master, you really have a keen eye! In fact, some time before this incident happened, another Yuanying Zhenjun came to visit Zhenjun Baoli in the City Lord's Mansion of Haori City.
But according to my master, after that person left, True Lord Baoli ordered to search for the Golden Crow Crystal in the 19th Mine.
However, Master Baoli's expression was extremely ugly, as if he had been seriously injured, and his face was pale! Since then, his temperament has been sometimes irritable and sometimes gentle.
Wang Ming guessed that there must be something fishy going on! "
Luo Mingyi's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing, as if he was lost in thought.
Seeing this, Wang Ming quickly lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
A wisp of Wang Ming's soul was in her hand. She could feel that every word he said was true and he was not lying.
But she always felt that Wang Ming's purpose was not simple.
Never mind, no matter what the reason is, it can't stop her from getting the Golden Crow Crystal.
"By the way, do you know what the specific cultivation level of Master Baoli is?"
Wang Ming nodded slightly, "Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"
"You are very smart, Wang Ming. Please go now. I am tired!"
However, when Wang Ming heard this, he seemed to have thought of something terrible. With a thud, his knees softened and he knelt down again.
"Master, please understand that everything I, Wang Ming, said is true, not a single word is false!"
Luo Mingyi just smiled faintly, "Really?"
But just as he finished speaking, a powerful spiritual power suddenly descended upon Wang Ming.
This spiritual power was like an invisible mountain, falling down with a loud bang. In just a moment, Wang Ming felt as if his chest was being crushed back and forth by a huge rock. His teeth chattered uncontrollably and he almost suffocated!
At this moment, Wang Ming truly felt the terror of the person in front of him.
She could take his life at any time!
"Master, I was wrong. I won't do it again!"
Luo Mingyi waved his hand, and all the pressure immediately receded like the tide.
"Speak now, this is your last chance!"
Without the pressure of spiritual power, Wang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"In fact, my master is my father. I concealed all this before because I had selfish motives and wanted to use my master to avenge my father's murder!"
As he spoke, Wang Ming tapped his storage bag again, took out a jade slip, raised it above his head with both hands, and continued.
"I know that I have low aptitude and may not be able to form a pill in this lifetime. But the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Even though he is a Yuanying Zhenjun, I have never given up.
Over the past ten years, I have been building up forces everywhere just to collect the weaknesses of Master Baoli.
Sure enough, God also favors me. Just one year ago, I actually got a shocking statement out of a maid in the City Lord's Mansion.
That True Lord Baoli is half human, half demon! "
"Half human, half demon?!" Luo Mingyi immediately perked up. How come the demon appeared again?
Wang Ming was extremely excited at this time. "I originally wanted to report this matter to the Wanbao Immortal Sect, which governs this place. A half-human, half-demon appeared in the world of immortal cultivation, and they should handle this matter.
But I didn't expect that no one in the Wanbao Immortal Sect believed what I said.
In fact, on the way back to Haori City, he encountered at least three waves of people who came to assassinate him! "
"So, you hold a grudge against the disciples of the big sects. Not only can you plunder a large amount of wealth, but because of the unclear death of the disciples of the big sects, the sect will definitely send people to investigate!
Kill two birds with one stone, Wang Ming, you are really smart! "
Luo Mingyi moved her fingers slightly, and the next second, the jade slip fell gently into her hand.535: The Great Evil Formation
Chapter 535: The Great Evil Formation
Wang Ming never thought that all his plans would be revealed to him in just a few words by the woman in front of him.
When I was frightened and uncertain, I heard the woman in front of me speak again:
"I am not interested in these things of yours. I will accept this jade slip. You can go now. If there is anything, I will contact you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind him opened with a bang, and a cold wind quickly rushed into the room.
Wang Ming raised his head in disbelief, swallowed his saliva in shock, and bowed respectfully to Luo Mingyi again.
"Thank you for not killing me today, Master. I will serve you wholeheartedly tomorrow to repay your kindness!"
After Wang Ming left, Luo Mingyi sighed slightly.
She had no intention of getting involved in this dispute, but now, for the sake of the Golden Crow Crystal, she had to go no matter what.
Then she placed the jade slip that Wang Ming had given her at the end on her forehead and gently closed her eyes.
After a while, Luo Mingyi suddenly opened his eyes.
Half human, half demon? Luo Mingyi chuckled, it was quite interesting.
This True Lord Baoli was originally just a bastard son of an ordinary immortal cultivation family in Dongshan City of Liu Kingdom. However, when he was eight years old, he was able to detect a top-grade golden spiritual root.
From then on, he became the hope of the entire family, and all the family resources were allocated to him to repair the chain.
However, in just two years, Master Baoli went from being a mortal to the fifth level of Qi Chain!
But the good times didn't last long, as the amazing talent of Master Baoli soon spread throughout Dongshan City. All forces have united to cut off this possible threat in advance.
Therefore, they joined forces to destroy the family of Master Baoli, leaving him alone. He was able to escape quietly because he had a high-level talisman given by the clan leader.
It was not until he had formed the Dan that True Lord Baoli came to Haori City, and soon after, he became the lord of Haori City.
Hundreds of years later, Master Baoli finally broke through to the Nascent Soul stage with his amazing talent and hatred in his heart.
After returning to the Kingdom of Liu, he wiped out all the enemies who had killed their family all those years ago. However, after coming back, his temperament became more unpredictable.
All this was told to him by Wang Ming's master, oh no, his father.
Since then, every ten years, a man in black clothes and white hair would come to the City Lord's Mansion to look for Master Baoli.
But every time after the black-clothed man left, Master Baoli would become more and more violent for a few days, and would even kill anyone who showed even the slightest displeasure.
But after about half a month, Master Baoli will return to his original gentle and solemn appearance.
These are the words left by Wang Ming in the jade slip. As for its weakness, it is naturally something that can defeat demons!
If it was just about dealing with demons, Luo Mingyi had too many ways.
The nine-colored divine thunder, purple spiritual flame, black thunder thorn and Li Fen Lei Huo Array in her body can all have absolute restraint on monsters.
Ever since the last time Luo Mingyi was in the boundary stone and the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder was completely awakened, Luo Mingyi would carefully observe the Nine-Leaf Divine Thunder seedling in his dantian every day.
Now the divine thunder seedling has completely changed its appearance. The nine-colored thunder leaves have wrapped the entire divine thunder seedling. Even Luo Mingyi cannot see clearly what its roots look like now.
But a hint of golden light can be seen from the gaps between the nine leaves!
Previously in Qingyun Continent, Luo Mingyi's innate divine thunder had already risen to the highest level of ordinary thunder, the ninth-grade silver thunder!
Going higher, there is divine thunder that is a hundred times more powerful. The Gengjin Thunder is the most powerful thunder in the world except for the divine punishment from heaven!
The divine thunder is represented by gold. The first-grade divine thunder is platinum in color, the second-grade divine thunder is orange-gold in color, the third-grade divine thunder is cyan gold in color, the fourth-grade divine thunder is blue-gold in color, the fifth-grade divine thunder is purple-gold in color, the sixth-grade divine thunder is black gold in color, the seventh-grade divine thunder is red gold in color, the eighth-grade divine thunder is gray-gold in color, and the ninth-grade divine thunder is a fusion of nine colors, which is the chaotic divine thunder!
The purple and gold two-color innate divine thunder that Luo Mingyi obtained from Chunyu Qianmo laid the foundation. From then on, as long as she absorbed enough thunder power, her innate divine thunder would continue to advance until it reached the fifth-grade divine thunder.
But if you want to increase the level of thunder again, it will not be as simple as just absorbing the power of thunder.
If she cannot get a big enough opportunity, I am afraid that her innate divine thunder can only be upgraded to the fifth-grade divine thunder at most, and will stop there.
But even so, Luo Mingyi is already very satisfied.
It is most appropriate to use the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder to deal with this half-human, half-demon.
Now she can mobilize the power of the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder at will, and the Purple Spirit Flame is also much stronger than before.
If she could refine the "Li Fen Lei Huo Array" again, its power would be much stronger than when she dealt with that evil old ghost!
With this formation, plus the Star-Breaking Seal, Luo Mingyi was 70% sure of capturing Master Baoli.
Even if she is defeated in the end, she can still use the Sky Breaking Slash to escape.
After thinking it through, Luo Mingyi set up several formations in the room, took out the Cauldron of Creation and began to refine the formations.
Three days later, Luo Mingyi looked at the half-silver and half-purple circular array plate in his hand, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Now that the formation is complete, the next step is to have a good meeting with the half-human, half-demon Lord Baoli!
Fortunately, although Haori City is large, the City Lord's Mansion is the top priority and the face of a city, just like the emperor's palace in the mortal world.
Luo Mingyi spread out his spiritual sense, and in just half a cup of tea, he found the location of the City Lord's Mansion.
It was already dusk, and most of the mortals who participated in the transaction in the city had left Haori City before the city gates were closed.
Only a few monks were left, speeding through the city.
The atmosphere on the street had obviously become much more desolate than during the day, and it seemed a little deserted.
Luo Mingyi took out a shape-shifting talisman and stuck it on his body, but in an instant, a handsome young man appeared in the room.
After hiding his cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, Luo Mingyi left Xianyuan Pavilion and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
About a quarter of an hour later, Luo Mingyi vaguely saw a majestic and grand palace.
There are three main halls in the City Lord's Mansion. Each main hall is supported by three huge stone pillars and is suspended in the air a thousand meters above.
Under these nine stone pillars, there are hundreds of three-story pavilions built in a spiral pattern, distributed in an orderly manner under the nine stone pillars, surrounding the three main halls.
However, Luo Mingyi gradually frowned, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Although the three main halls and hundreds of pavilions were like the moon surrounded by stars, Luo Mingyi saw some fluctuations in the formation.
Moreover, it is a very evil formation!536 City Lord Mansion Recruitment
Chapter 536 City Lord Mansion Recruitment
Seeing this scene, Luo Mingyi somehow remembered the strange runes on the Haori Tower, so she did not act rashly.
Before this, she had suspected that there must be a formation master of at least level seven hidden in the Haori City.
Now, she only knew that the formation in the City Lord's Mansion was extremely dangerous, but she had no idea what this formation was.
Fortunately, there were quite a few people walking on the street. As Luo Mingyi strolled along, he arrived at the ten-meter-high main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Above the door lintel hangs a giant golden plaque with three large characters carved in a flamboyant style: "City Lord's Mansion"!
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, there were foundation-building monks wearing navy blue robes patrolling day and night, and no one dared to approach!
Seeing this, Luo Mingyi just glanced at it indifferently and left.
A moment later, Luo Mingyi came to another prosperous restaurant in Haori City and booked a guest room facing south.
Through this window, Luo Mingyi could see clearly every move at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
This extremely dangerous formation was strange and unpredictable. Luo Mingyi thought about it carefully and decided to find out the details before taking any action.
And in a blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
During these three days, Luo Mingyi not only repaired the chain, but also divided half of his spiritual consciousness to keep a close eye on the every move of the City Lord's Mansion.
Fortunately, these three days were not wasted, as she finally found a way to safely enter the City Lord's Mansion without having to break through the formation.
On the third day, a notice was posted on the City Lord's Mansion.
Relying on his powerful spiritual sense, Luo Ming obtained the information on the notice at the first moment, and then he was delighted!
As more and more cultivators sought refuge in the City Lord's Mansion, True Lord Baoli immediately ordered the recruitment of three alchemists above the third rank, but time was only given for today and tomorrow.
Luo Mingyi stood by the window and looked at the City Lord's Mansion. There was a light flashing in her eyes, but she did not move. She was waiting.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, nearly ten alchemists arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, but nine of them left with disappointment on their faces.
Only one of them was led by the guards into the city lord's mansion.
She didn't expect that Master Baoli was so vigilant that he would not accept any alchemists of unknown identity or those who were independent practitioners.
When Luo Mingyi saw this, a blank sound transmission note appeared in his hand. After speaking a few words to him, the sound transmission note turned into a stream of light and flew out of the window, disappearing.
An hour later, Luo Mingyi, who was meditating on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the door of the guest room was opened, and a man in his thirties walked in from outside. This man was Wang Ming who had hurried over.
"Master, I have already prepared the identity certificate you mentioned in your message. Please take a look!"
Luo Mingyi waved his hand, and a purple token appeared in his hand.
"Baodan Pavilion!"
Wang Ming nodded and said, "Master, please rest assured. Although the Baodan Pavilion is not large in scale, it has been opened in Haori City for nearly a hundred years.
And I had already acquired the Baodan Pavilion in its entirety five years ago. "
Luo Mingyi hummed lightly, waved his hand, and two green jade bottles shot out and landed in front of Wang Ming.
"You did a great job. These two bottles of medicine will be your reward!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Ming quickly took the two bottles of pills, removed the corks and took a look, his eyes immediately widened.
"What? This is actually a top-grade Peiyuan Pill!" Wang Ming exclaimed in disbelief, and quickly removed the cork from another medicine bottle, his heart filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
"Top-grade Peiyuan Pill, top-grade Huiyuan Pill!" You have to know that he has been practicing for decades, and the most he has come into contact with are only top-grade pills.
What the woman casually threw to him were two bottles of top-grade elixirs that could be taken by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Wang Ming quickly bowed deeply to Luo Mingyi, "Wang Ming thanks the master for giving me the elixir. If the master has anything to do in the future, just let me know!"
Luo Mingyi waved his hand, and after he left, he took out the Thousand Faces and put it on his face.
Although this illusion talisman is good, it is just an illusion after all. If it encounters some special formations, it is very likely to reveal its true form.
It's better to wear this mask so that you won't be discovered so easily.
This time, Luo Mingyi only made some changes to his facial features.
After a moment, Luo Mingyi transformed into a quiet and gentle woman. After adjusting her cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, Luo Mingyi put the token into the storage bag at her waist, quickly left the restaurant and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After a while, they arrived outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"What are you doing? Don't you know where this place is?"
Seeing Luo Mingyi walking straight towards them, the two guards of the City Lord's Mansion, although only at the initial stage of foundation building, dared to scold Luo Mingyi, a cultivator at the late stage of foundation building.
Luo Mingyi suppressed his displeasure, slapped his storage bag, and a purple token appeared in front of the two of them.
"My two fellow Taoists, my name is Bai Yi, and I am a third-rank alchemist from the Baodan Pavilion. I heard today that the City Lord's Mansion was recruiting third-rank alchemists, so I came here!"
The two guards checked the token carefully, and when they saw that there was no problem, their attitude suddenly became much gentler, and they both bowed to Luo Mingyi.
"So you are the alchemist of Baodan Pavilion. We two brothers are so disrespectful!"
Seeing this, Luo Mingyi just smiled faintly. The profession of alchemist is still very respected in the world of immortal cultivation.
"It's okay, the two Taoists are also doing their duty, Bai Yi understands!"
Seeing Luo Mingyi being so reasonable, the two guards' expressions relaxed at once.
They knew in their hearts that the city lord's recruitment of alchemists was not actually for them, the foundation-building cultivators.
If you can establish a good relationship with the alchemist in advance, you will naturally be one step faster than others whether exchanging pills or other things in the future.
Thinking of this, the two whispered to Luo Mingyi:
"Master Bai, you may not know that the competition for this alchemy master recruitment is really fierce. The first hurdle is identity.
Master Bai Dan doesn't have to worry about this. Although Baodan Pavilion is not a big business, its reputation has always been excellent.
only..."
Seeing that the two were a little hesitant, Luo Mingyi slapped his storage bag, took out two bottles of pills from it and handed them to the two respectively.
"My two Taoist friends, don't worry. If Bai Yi is chosen this time, she will not forget the kindness you two have shown me!"
The two of them immediately opened the medicine bottle and took a look, and were immediately shocked.
In addition to eight mid-grade Peiyuan Pills, this medicine bottle actually contains two top-grade Peiyuan Pills!
The two looked at each other, both of them looked happy.
"Master Bai, rest assured. With your alchemy skills, you will definitely win the competition in two days!"537: Alchemy Competition
Chapter 537: Alchemy Competition
The two foundation-building guards who received the elixir were in a very good mood.
"Master Bai Dan, come on, I'll take you into the mansion!" one of the guards said to Luo Mingyi.
Luo Mingyi smiled gently, then followed him into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."
"Master Bai Dan, you don't have to be so polite to me, just call me Xia Han. There are so many formations in this City Lord's Mansion, if you make a mistake, you will probably die on the spot!
Master Bai Dan, please follow me closely and don't be distracted! "
Luo Mingyi nodded. As soon as she entered the City Lord's Mansion, she clearly noticed the various intricate formations here.
If there is no one to lead the way, even if I manage to enter the City Lord's Mansion, I will probably be killed on the spot as someone who has broken into the formation after taking a few steps.
Under Xia Han's guidance, the two of them soon arrived at a courtyard called "Danhuaju".
"Master Bai, this is where we will compete in alchemy the day after tomorrow. Let's go in!"
Luo Mingyi nodded, followed Xia Han and walked into the yard.
At this time, there were two men and one woman, three foundation-building monks, sitting in the courtyard.
The three of them were sitting together drinking tea and talking. When they saw someone coming, they stood up quickly.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Xia is here, come and have a taste of my newly acquired Qinxian Ming Tea!"
Xia Han waved his hand and said to the old man who was about fifty years old with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Song, I have something else to do so I will leave first. This is Master Bai from the Baodan Pavilion, you two can chat first!"
After saying that, Xia Han quickly left Danhuaju.
"Baodan Pavilion?" The old man surnamed Song blinked, seeming a little confused.
"I remember that there is only one third-grade alchemist in the Baodan Pavilion, Brother Chen, right?"
Luo Mingyi just smiled faintly, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Song remembered it wrongly? Although I have not been in Baodan Pavilion for a long time, I know that besides me, there is another third-grade alchemist in Baodan Pavilion, and that is Fellow Daoist Lin."
The old man surnamed Song seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by a thirty-year-old female cultivator in red clothes standing beside him. She said politely to Luo Mingyi:
"Brother Bai, please don't just stand there. Come and taste this magical tea with us!"
The man next to the red-dressed female cultivator also nodded to Luo Mingyi, "Brother Bai, please don't be offended. Brother Song is just like that. He always likes to make some harmless jokes. Brother Song, quickly pour Brother Bai a cup of tea!"
What a harmless joke! This is clearly a naked temptation.
Fortunately, Wang Ming had told her everything that happened in Baodan Pavilion. Otherwise, if she had said something wrong, the spiritual consciousness that had been watching the courtyard would have discovered that her identity was different.
Seeing the two people next to him trying to make peace, the old man surnamed Song immediately slapped his forehead with a helpless look on his face.
"Look at my poor memory. I really made a fool of myself! I hope that Brother Bai will not take it to heart and tell Brother Lin. Otherwise, next time we meet, I will have to ask for those spiritual teas as apology!"
Luo Mingyi smiled and sat next to the three of them. "What are you talking about, Brother Song? It's just a small matter!"
Among these three people, only the old man surnamed Song had reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage. The remaining man and woman looked like a pair of Taoist companions, and their behavior was very intimate.
The man was named Chu Fanghai, who was in the late stage of foundation building. The woman in red was named Xuanying, and her cultivation had also reached the late stage of foundation building.
After chatting with the three of them for a while, Luo Mingyi found an excuse to find an empty room in Danhua Residence and sit in meditation with his eyes closed.
Over the next two days, Luo Mingyi seemed to be meditating and cultivating his energy, but in fact his spiritual sense had already figured out about 30% of the formation in the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the three main halls suspended in the air, their formations are extremely mysterious and bizarre, especially the main hall in the middle, which is the place where Master Baoli practices.
As for the remaining two main halls, the main hall on the left is the place where the three chief stewards of the City Lord's Mansion practice, while the main hall on the right is where the three direct disciples of Master Baoli live.
Two days passed in a flash. Before the alchemy competition began, Xia Han brought four more foundation-building cultivators.
Luo Mingyi didn't care about this. But the rest of the people in the courtyard gathered in twos and threes to discuss how to deal with the situation.
It was not until the third day that the alchemy competition officially began. Only then did Luo Mingyi meet the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
The chief steward looked to be nearly seventy years old, but he was an old monster who had lived for at least hundreds of years. After saying a few words of encouragement to everyone and explaining the benefits of becoming an alchemist in the City Lord's Mansion, he hurried away.
Only the fourth and fifth managers, two in the middle stage of Jindan, and hundreds of foundation-building cultivators were left to observe.
There are a total of eight cultivators participating in this competition. There are three kinds of elixirs that need to be refined, namely Heling Pill, Peiyuan Pill and an elixir that can increase the body's qi and blood, called Yuxu Fenxue Pill.
The first two kinds of elixirs can help foundation-building cultivators improve their cultivation, but Luo Mingyi had never heard of the latter kind of elixir.
What the eight of them had to do was to take three portions of elixirs each to make elixirs, and then score points based on the success rate and quality of the elixirs.
The top three people with the highest scores can officially stay in the City Lord's Mansion.
After the eight people stepped forward and received nine portions of elixirs in turn, they each took out an alchemy furnace and made elixirs on the spot.
In front of so many people, Luo Mingyi naturally would not use the Purple Extreme Spiritual Flame to refine the elixir. Instead, he took out a top-grade treasure alchemy furnace from his storage bag and used the spiritual fire in the cultivator's body to refine it.
Even without the blessing of the Cauldron of Creation, with Luo Mingyi's current alchemy skills, refining these third-grade pills would be a piece of cake.
Even more restraint is needed. Being able to refine top-grade elixirs is enough to take the lead among these people.
Although Luo Mingyi tried his best to slow down, he still only took half an hour to refine the first batch of Heling Pills.
As for the other seven people, their progress in alchemy was only halfway through.
Seeing Luo Mingyi put the pills in the furnace into the jade bottle, someone immediately brought the bottle of pills to the two managers.
"What? Not only is the furnace full, but seven out of ten grains are of top quality!" one of the managers couldn't help but exclaimed.
Immediately, the two managers turned their eyes to Luo Mingyi. However, he discovered that Luo Mingyi had already started making the second batch of pills, Peiyuan Pills.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of the other seven people. One of them suddenly lost his patience and with a loud "boom", the furnace exploded!
Upon seeing this, one of the managers waved his hand in disgust, and immediately several foundation-building guards stepped forward and took away the alchemist whose furnace exploded on the spot.
Under the watchful eyes of the two managers, Luo Mingyi's second batch of Peiyuan Dan was refined without haste.
Luo Mingyi waved his hand, and the ten pills in the furnace fell into the jade bottle one by one. The guards behind him held them in both hands and presented them to the two managers.538: Kindness and Strength
Chapter 538: Kindness and Strength
The two stewards opened the jade bottle expectantly, and then a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"The furnace is full, it's full again, and half of them are top-grade pills!" said one of the younger managers with some excitement.
However, the other steward next to him was much calmer and spoke in a calm tone.
"They are just some low-level pills. Let's wait and see!"
When Luo Mingyi had just finished refining the Peiyuan Pill halfway, four other alchemists had completed refining the first type of pill.
The other two were probably too nervous, and the first furnace failed.
The next step was to refine the last kind of Yuxu Burning Blood Pill. Luo Mingyi picked up the pill recipe to check it, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
Although the use and effects of the pill were not clearly stated in the recipe, Luo Mingyi saw a hint of unusual meaning from the proportions of the pill.
This doesn't seem to be a simple pill that can increase Qi and blood, but should be an auxiliary pill for practicing a special technique.
After memorizing the proportions of the spiritual medicine, Luo Mingyi put down the recipe and began to process the spiritual medicine.
A total of seven kinds of spiritual medicines are needed to refine this pill, and all of them are about two hundred years old, suitable for cultivators in the foundation-building stage.
Although it was the first time that Luo Mingyi refined the Yuxu Burning Blood Pill, he succeeded in one go under the watchful eyes of everyone, and the furnace was still full!
Seeing this scene, the two managers couldn't help but flash a hint of excitement in their eyes.
Luo Mingyi naturally noticed this scene, but felt a little strange in his heart.
The two managers have both reached the middle stage of the Jindan stage. These are just elixirs taken by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, so it shouldn't be this serious.
The moment Luo Mingyi put all the pills into the jade bottle, two managers flashed in front of Luo Mingyi and took the jade bottle in their hands.
Seeing this, Luo Mingyi hurriedly bowed and saluted with the monks beside him.
Unexpectedly, after the two stewards carefully checked the elixir in the jade bottle, the slightly older steward actually spoke out:
"This must be Fellow Daoist Bai, right? I hereby declare that Fellow Daoist Bai has won today's alchemy competition and will be the official alchemist of our City Lord's Mansion from now on!"
Although the fourth manager on the side was also extremely excited, there was still a slight flash of surprise in his eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Mingyi hurriedly bowed to the two of them with an excited look on his face.
"Thank you both managers. I will definitely fulfill my duties and work hard to refine pills in the future!"
Seeing Luo Mingyi's attitude, the two managers were naturally very happy. They waved their hands and asked Luo Mingyi to return to the stands with them and sit in the lower left seat.
There were a total of ten Yuxu Burning Blood Pills in the jade bottle just now. Among them, six are of medium quality and four are of high quality. This was the result of Luo Mingyi's careful control.
After Luo Mingyi sat down, the two managers chatted with her casually, and most of the questions they asked were about alchemy.
She appeared gentle and submissive on the surface, but in fact she was constantly guessing in her heart that the fact that two Jindan cultivators found it so difficult to control their emotions just proved that the Yuxu Burning Blood Pill must be extraordinary.
It was not until the sky darkened that the pills of the other six alchemists were gradually refined.
Scores were calculated based on the quality of the pills and the success rate of the pills, and the one who was far ahead in the end was naturally Luo Mingyi, with a score of 30, the full score.
This is enough to show how much the two managers expected of her.
The second place was a female cultivator named Xu, who had a gentle and charming appearance and was in the late stage of foundation building. Her score was 22 points.
The last one left was the old man surnamed Song. He succeeded in refining the first two kinds of pills in one go, but only the Yuxu Burning Blood Pill was barely successful in the second batch, and only two of them were of medium quality, the remaining five were of low quality.
The score obtained was 21 points, which was not much different from that of the female cultivator named Xu.
The old man surnamed Song looked at Luo Mingyi sitting on the stage, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
But when Luo Mingyi noticed it and accidentally let her eyes fall on him, the old man surnamed Song immediately put on a smile and nodded at her.
The results were out, and the four managers walked off the stage and took the other four away from the venue.
Luo Mingyi and the other two followed the third steward and came to a hall in the center of the entire City Lord's Mansion.
"From now on, the three of you will be the official alchemists of our City Lord's Mansion. This is your token. With this, the three of you can enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion freely."
However, when the three men just got the tokens in their hands, the third manager suddenly changed the subject and his expression became solemn.
"However, our Lord City Lord has set a rule that all cultivators who enter the City Lord's Mansion for the first time must have a certain restriction planted in their bodies.
I'm sorry, everyone! "
As soon as he finished speaking, three blood-red rays of light shot out from the hands of the third elder and sank into the bodies of the three people.
Just when the spiritual light was about to enter Luo Mingyi's body, Luo Mingyi used her powerful spiritual sense to cover it up, and finally entered the spirit beast bag in her sleeve.
It entered the spirit beast's bag and into the body of a snow worm.
Immediately afterwards, the two people next to her showed expressions of pain. Seeing this, Luo Mingyi also started to act in the same way.
"Third manager, we are all well-known alchemists in Haori City. How can your City Lord's Mansion act so unscrupulously!" The old man surnamed Song, who has always lived a life of luxury, could not help but question.
The third steward snorted in displeasure, "Why, do you think it's so easy to enter our City Lord's Mansion?
It's just a trivial restriction. As long as you stick this talisman, you won't be tortured by it. "
As he spoke, three talismans shot out from the hands of the third manager and fell into the hands of the three men.
Feeling the warm energy coming from the talisman in their hands, the two people next to them gradually calmed down.
At this time, the old man surnamed Song finally reacted, and kept shrinking his neck with a look of great fear. You have to know that the person he just questioned was a cultivator in the Jindan stage!
After showing their power, the three managers became extremely gentle again.
"Don't worry, the three of you, as long as you don't do anything to let the City Lord's Mansion down, you can receive this talisman that suppresses the restriction once a month.
Moreover, the monthly remuneration for alchemy is extremely generous. With the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, who will dare to disrespect you three in Haori City in the future? Don't you agree? "
After a combination of kindness and force, the three finally compromised.
When leaving, Luo Mingyi received a message from the third manager.
"Don't be afraid, my friend Bai. This restriction won't cause any harm to your body.
In the future, as long as you advance to the Jindan stage, you will be able to meet the city lord, and he will lift the restrictions for you.
This Yuxu Burning Blood Pill is the elixir that the city lord specifically requested. If you can refine it successfully, you will definitely be rewarded in the future! "539: Jade Void Burning Blood Pill
Chapter 539: Jade Void Burning Blood Pill
Led by the maid in the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Mingyi and the other two were led to a three-story pavilion on the north side of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Three seniors, this is where you will live from now on. There are many vacant buildings here, so you three can choose where to live."
Seeing the three people nod, the maid bowed and left.
The old man surnamed Song glanced at Luo Mingyi and the female cultivator surnamed Xu, "You two, I will go first!"
After saying that, he headed towards one of the three-story pavilions.
Luo Mingyi was about to leave when she was stopped by a female cultivator named Xu.
"Friend Bai!"
Luo Mingyi turned around, "Fellow Daoist Xu, is there anything I can do for you?"
The woman seemed a little scared. After looking around, she lowered her voice and said:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Bai has noticed that this place seems particularly cold and gloomy!"
Luo Mingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and she also felt the coldness. However, this cold and gloomy air does not seem to be hidden in these houses.
"Friend Xu, don't scare yourself. This is the City Lord's Mansion after all. Nothing will happen."
However, the cultivator named Xu shook his head firmly, took a step forward and grabbed one of Luo Mingyi's sleeves.
"Friend Bai, I'm going to tell you the truth. My name is Xu Lingyue, and I'm the eldest daughter of the Xu family on Wuhai Island. If you're willing to protect me, when we return to Qianwu Island in the future, I'll give you whatever you want!"
Luo Mingyi had heard of Thousand Mist Island. It was a powerful island around the Sea of Mist.
One of the demon gods of Xuanyuan Continent is in this sea of fog and is called the Dragon God of the Fog Sea!
Looking at Xu Lingyue's frail and delicate appearance, Luo Mingyi was already 70% convinced.
However, she entered the City Lord's Mansion for another important matter. After she has figured out the formation in the mansion and the matter of Master Baoli, she will definitely have a battle and leave this place.
In order to avoid involving innocent people, Luo Mingyi decided not to get too involved with others.
"Friend Xu, it's getting late. We should go to bed as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Luo Mingyi walked towards the pavilions on his own.
Xu Lingyue's face suddenly became very ugly. She didn't argue for long between fear and face, and ran towards the direction where Luo Mingyi was.
In the end, he lived next to the palace chosen by Luo Mingyi.
In her opinion, the old man surnamed Song looked very scheming and cunning. Since she was young and inexperienced, she dared not provoke him.
Although Fellow Daoist Luo looked difficult to approach, in her opinion, he was much more pleasing to the eye than the old man surnamed Song.
Sensing that Xu Lingyue finally lived next door to him, Luo Mingyi smiled helplessly. Then he set up the formation and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
The arrangement of the formation in the City Lord's Mansion was very complicated, and what was even more strange was that the Danhua Residence where they were previously located was warm as spring, just like being in a greenhouse.
But here, there is always a wisp of cold and gloomy air rising from the ground.
However, Luo Mingyi could feel that this cold and gloomy aura had nothing to do with those evil spirits and ghost cultivators, but was probably caused by the formation.
After calming down, Luo Mingyi remembered what the third manager said before he left.
"This Yuxu Burning Blood Pill is the elixir that the city lord specifically requested!"
It turned out that this elixir was exactly what Master Baoli needed.
However, this time, True Lord Baoli recruited a third-rank alchemist. Even if he could refine the Yuxu Burning Blood Pill, what use would it be to a True Lord of the Nascent Soul stage!
Thinking of this, Luo Mingyi felt more and more puzzled.
Fortunately, she has all the elixirs needed to refine the Yuxu Burning Blood Pill. Since she wants to know the reason, she might as well try it herself!
Then Luo Mingyi took out the necessary elixirs and alchemy furnace and began to refine the elixir.
The only difference is that the seven kinds of spiritual medicines that Luo Mingyi used to refine this pill are all over 500 years old.
With the added power of the Purple Spirit Flame and the Cauldron of Creation, this time, it only took a quarter of an hour for the furnace cover to emit a series of low, trembling sounds.
Luo Mingyi's face lit up with joy, the pill was ready. Then she waved her hand, and a total of ten light red pills appeared in her palm.
She let out a light "eh". She remembered that on the ten Yuxu Burning Blood Pills that she had refined during the day, there were only dozens of faint blood-colored spiritual threads.
But when her eyes fell on one of the blood-colored Ganoderma lucidum, a look of realization appeared in her eyes.
The problem lies with this red blood ganoderma!
As the years go by, more and more blood spirit threads will grow on the red blood ganoderma, which contain a large amount of qi and blood power.
Whether it is used to make pills or taken directly, it can increase the qi and blood power of the cultivator, the only difference is the amount.
After finding the problem, Luo Mingyi felt much more at ease.
This time, a total of ten Yuxu Burning Blood Pills were refined, and the quality of all ten pills reached the top grade!
Luo Mingyi hesitated for a moment, then threw one of the top-grade Yuxu Burning Blood Pills into his mouth and began to refine it.
A quarter of an hour later, feeling the newly added energy of qi and blood in his body, Luo Mingyi had an idea and took a top-grade Yuxu Burning Blood Pill and began to refine it.
However, when he took the fifth top-grade Yuxu Burning Blood Pill, a drop of blood-red blood suddenly fell from Luo Mingyi's dantian under the energy and blood force that had gathered the power of five pills!
After the blood drop fell into the dantian, it immediately turned into thousands of red lights and flowed into Luo Mingyi's limbs, bones, and internal organs.
Then, Luo Mingyi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with ecstasy and shock!
The drop of blood that just condensed is the most important essence and blood in the cultivator's body!
In Luo Mingyi's memory, in the entire Xuanyuan Continent's world of immortal cultivation, there is almost no method that can greatly increase essence and blood.
Even if one practices physical cultivation, one only focuses on the defensive power of the physical body, and the energy of qi and blood is slightly stronger than others.
Unexpectedly, after taking only five pills, a drop of essence and blood condensed in her body.
In the "Nine Turns to Godhood Art", only when one has cultivated to the fifth level, the blood coagulation stage, can one use the skills to increase the amount of essence and blood.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many powerful secret techniques and magical powers that require the support of strong qi and blood power.
Not only that, if there is enough essence and blood in the body, even if you are injured, you can rely on the regeneration and repair power of the essence and blood, and it is not impossible to regenerate broken limbs!
Thinking of this, the joy in Luo Mingyi's eyes gradually faded.
If this is true, then it is impossible for True Lord Baoli to leave this pill unused. Moreover, perhaps it has achieved remarkable results!
It seems that I was very fortunate that I was cautious and did not rashly enter the City Lord's Mansion to look for Master Baoli!
