Chapter 121: Superior Essence and Blood

Entering the valley, the four of them became cautious. Grandpa Hu took out a circular magic weapon, and three of them surrounded him, making an amazing sound. He was a magic cultivator who was good at fighting. Zhou Tianyang also took out a pair of boxing gloves and put them on his hands. His robes also turned black. The old ghost of the mummy directly summoned three refined corpses. When the murderous corpse puppets came out, the temperature around them dropped a lot.

Only Chen Luo looks the most ordinary.

In his hand was a magic sword that he had received for free at Wudao Peak. His clothes had not changed at all. The three of them were stunned by this scene.

Aren't all alchemists rich? Why is this brother Chen so poor?

Chen Luo had nothing to be embarrassed about.

He had been practicing since he came down the mountain. Magical instruments and robes were a waste of spiritual stones and took a lot of time. He didn't have time to replace them for a while. The only magic instrument he had now, besides this free magic sword, was the silver needle magic instrument that the casual cultivator Wan Ming gave him. That thing was too petty, so he didn't dare to take it out.

"Everyone be careful, the monster may appear at any time."

Mr. Hu, who was walking in front, gave a reminder.

None of them were low-level cultivators who had just started Qi Refining, so they naturally knew the dangers inside.

The cloud of insects continued to fly forward, and all the strange flowers withered wherever they passed. The four people followed closely behind, and the cloud of insects stopped only after they passed the valley entrance.

The terrain inside is a bowl-shaped canyon.

It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a pool of water in the center. Except for the notch they came in from, there were dead ends in other places. The top of the mountain reached the sky, and the tip was covered by fog, making it difficult to see clearly. One could only vaguely feel that some powerful figures were swimming in the clouds.

"The monster is just ahead, and the aura of the foundation-building spiritual creature is also in that direction."

When the foundation-building spiritual objects were mentioned, everyone's breathing became heavier. Without hesitation, they flew inside with the help of the terrain. After entering here, they naturally could not fly as luxuriously as outside. They had to try their best to maintain their strength to deal with the dangers that might appear at any time.

The four of them flew for a distance and entered a dark wood forest.

The small woods at the entrance of the valley didn't look very big at first, but after I flew in, I couldn't get out for half a quarter of an hour.

"Something is wrong."

The mummy old ghost stopped.

He took out a small black flag and threw it to the ground, and a circle of gray-white energy rippled out. A pile of corpses with eyes wide open suddenly appeared on the dark land. Thirteen corpses. These people were all wearing the uniforms of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. They were the masters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance who came with Zhou Tianyang to track down the monster last time. Most of them were at the first level of Qi Refining, and even three of them had not yet entered the Dao.

Zhou Tianyang and Mr. Hu also stopped.

Old Master Hu waved his hand, and the swarm of insects flying in front flew back into his gourd one after another.

"Did fellow Daoist Corpse discover anything?"

The two men walked up to the Taoist Mummy and didn't understand what he was doing.

"I was the one who killed all these people. I've told you before." Zhou Tianyang frowned, not understanding what the Taoist Mummy was doing.

"Foundation building spiritual objects are of great importance, and some sacrifices are inevitable."

Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. In Zhou Tianyang's opinion, there is no need to take such things to heart. When he passed by just now, he also sensed these corpses, but he ignored them, and the same was true for Mr. Hu.

"It's not these, the problem is below."

The Taoist priest reached out and dug out a ball of black ash from under the soil where the corpse was buried. A creepy smile appeared on his dry old face.

"Your technique is unprofessional. Do you think I can't do anything to you if you burn to ashes?"

As he spoke, a black aura appeared in his hand, and the spiritual energy was distorted. The flag beside him shook, and the black ash in his palm seemed to be pulled away bit by bit. A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the silent woods, and pale mist appeared out of thin air. In the mist, it seemed like a ghost was whimpering, sometimes far away, sometimes near, making it difficult to hear clearly.

"Necromancer?"

Mr. Hu is knowledgeable and can tell the origin of this thing at a glance.

"My Corpse Raising Sect is famous for raising corpses, and we are best at dealing with these things."

The Taoist priest pinched the remaining black ash and slapped the ground. His dry palm seemed to melt, and his palm sank into the ground. He saw the surrounding fog surge, as if being pulled up by an invisible hand, and the erratic sounds inside also quieted down. The dark mud in front of the few people surged, and a piece of black mud bulged, slowly gathering into a "person".

"The dead in this place are not just the few people you killed. There are at least a hundred corpses. These are what are trapping us."

The surging mud man's facial features became blurred and his mouth opened wide, as if he wanted to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, a sword light flew towards him at an angle.

call out!

Before the three of them could react, the sword light exploded and directly chopped the clay figure summoned by the mummy Taoist into seventeen or eighteen pieces.

"Sword cultivator!"

"Be careful, there are others!"

Zhou Tianyang and Mr. Hu simultaneously summoned their magic weapons, looking around. The sword energy just now was too fast, so fast that they had no time to block it. If such a sword hit them, they would definitely suffer heavy damage.

Behind the three of them, Chen Luo's palm was pressing on a rotten skull.

'I have come into contact with the brain waves of a dead person. The damage is 99%. Do you want to read it?'

Read!

"To nourish the elixir, to nourish the elixir with the soul? It's a pity that I have practiced for half my life, but I have become a great medicine in the mouths of others."

It was only a moment of obsession, but Chen Luo already understood how these people died.

This black forest is not a real forest, but a Yin Wood Forest. The place where ghosts gather in folklore is the plants formed when Yin Qi and resentment gather to the limit. They can be used to make pills. Many spirit-related pills require this kind of branches as medicine.

roar!

A giant ape over three meters tall smashed through the trees and punched Zhou Tianyang, with hatred in its red eyes. This giant ape was the monster he had chased and killed last time, and now that its injuries had healed, it came back to seek revenge on him.

"It's that monster."

Zhou Tianyang looked a little ugly.

Before he found the spiritual object for building his foundation, something unexpected happened. First, an unknown cultivator attacked him, and now a demon beast came looking for revenge. He felt like his plan was out of control.

The secret of the foundation-building spiritual object was most likely not kept. In addition to the four of them, there were other people who sneaked in.

"Brother Daoist Shi and I will deal with this beast. Brother Daoist Zhou, you and Brother Daoist Chen will be on guard against the sword cultivator in the dark."

None of them were rookies who had just started practicing, and they acted decisively. Old Master Hu was the first to take action, and the Taoist Mummy also called on his three refined corpses to go forward.

The giant ape originally wanted to seek revenge on Zhou Tianyang, but was blocked by the corpse as soon as he moved.

In a rage, it raised its hand and punched the corpse on the head.

With a loud bang, the corpse shook twice and actually used both hands to block the giant ape's explosive hammer. The force of the collision between the two turned into black waves and rippled, and the area below the knees was completely submerged in the mud. The two weaker corpses were blown away by this wave of air.

"Yin Lei Fu!"

The mummy Taoist took advantage of this opportunity, turned his figure in the air, and three black talismans flew out of his hands.

The talisman paper instantly burned to ashes in the air.

A black lightning bolt as thick as a thumb struck from the sky.

Thunder is originally a very masculine and powerful magic, but the Yin thunder used by the Taoist Mummy gives people a spooky feeling. Under the shining of the thunder, the evil spirit is diffused, as if it is an evil spirit.

On the other side, Mr. Hu also arrived.

The three rings in his hands grew larger like diamond rings, and were divided into upper, middle and lower parts, locking onto the giant ape's throat, waist and legs. The blue-purple spiritual energy flowed and began to shrink frantically, trying to tie it up.

In terms of fighting skills, both Mr. Hu and the Taoist Mummy were stronger than Zhou Tianyang, and they put the giant ape at a disadvantage with just one move. The furious giant ape screamed in pain after being beaten by the two men, and was about to be defeated.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, have you sensed that sword cultivator?"

Unlike the other side, Zhou Tianyang and Chen Luo were standing on the periphery, and it was extremely quiet here.

The swordsman in the dark disappeared after the sneak attack, blending into the darkness, and no trace of him could be found.

The invisible swordsman is the most terrifying.

He is the most powerful swordsman among the three major systems, and no one dares to ignore the sword energy he wields.

"No."

Chen Luo shook his head and replied.

He looked towards the forest in the distance, and all the external brains in his mind became active. Among the more than one hundred brains, the brain that was proficient in assassination was constantly reminding him.

'Be careful of the crooked tree 300 meters to the left.'

'Enemy number three.'

He didn't see it, but the external brain did.

"Where on earth did this guy come from!" Zhou Tianyang was full of unwillingness.

He thought he had been cautious enough, but he didn't expect the news to be leaked.

Now there is one more competitor. I don’t know if there is really only one person on the other side. If there are more people, there really won’t be enough foundation-building spiritual objects to share!

Bang!

With the joint efforts of the two Qi-refining masters, the giant ape finally couldn't withstand the damage and fell to the ground.

"What a tough beast! We can't waste it like this." The Taoist Mummy took two steps forward and waved his hand to stop the three corpses that were about to pounce on him to suck his blood.

"It's a pity that the spirituality is a little lacking."

After sensing it with a secret method, an expression of regret appeared on the face of the mummy Taoist priest.

The corpse of this giant ape monster was not spiritual enough to fit their corpse-raising sect's secret method. It would be an empty shell after refining, and would be useless except for wasting resources.

"I remember that Fellow Daoist Chen needs the blood of a monster, right? I'll do you a favor." Grandpa Hu made a hand gesture and moved the bottle over to collect the blood of the monster.

Chen Luo, who was on guard against a sneak attack from a sword cultivator not far away, turned around.

'There is one more.'

'Perfect demon cultivator, with top-grade blood essence, refining it can increase the success rate of foundation building.'

The brains of the seven foundation-building monks gave feedback at the same time, and even the mummy's brain came to life and gave an opinion.

Especially the words "superior quality blood and essence" and "increases success rate of foundation building" at the end, which instantly made Chen Luo's heart moved.

He had not yet started practicing his "Iron Body Skill" because he was lacking the blood of the monster. Just now, he was about to take the blood of the giant ape as a backup, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, better materials would be delivered to his door.

If the mummy's brain could evaluate it as 'superior essence and blood', it must be a good thing.

We can't let these three guys find out about this.

I want to keep it all!

boom!

The soil exploded, and the forest in front collapsed. A huge white python's tail swept over, and the strong demonic energy almost covered the entire area. A large area of ​​trees fell down, and the three corpses standing in the front were swept by the tail and flew straight out. Mr. Hu and the old Taoist priest reacted and took the opportunity to retreat a distance and avoid the tail.

"I'll do it."

Chen Luo flew up, slashed with the magic sword in his hand, passed by the three people, and flew towards the white python.

"Brother Chen, be careful!"

This scene made the three of them stunned for a moment, and Zhou Tianyang even shouted anxiously. In their opinion, Chen Luo was just an alchemist, a home-based cultivator who was not good at fighting. The purpose of inviting him here this time was also to give him benefits and to improve the relationship between the two parties so that he could help them refine the foundation-building pill later.

So when they saw Chen Luo taking action, the three of them subconsciously wanted to go over to help.

But before they could move, the swordsman in the dark attacked again.

call out!

The sword energy swept across.

This time, in addition to the sword cultivator's sneak attack, there were also two magic weapons, a copper hammer and a square seal. The three had no choice but to retreat and dodge. When the explosion smoke and dust dispersed, Chen Luo's figure could no longer be seen.

“Three people!”

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tianyang’s face turned completely dark.

“Hahaha! Old Ghost Zhou, you can’t eat all the foundation-building spiritual objects by yourself. Why don’t you let your brother help you? Otherwise, you might eat too much and choke.”

"Zhou Tianyang, as a steward of our Loose Cultivator Alliance, you actually dared to kill brothers in the alliance without authorization. I will report this matter to the leader of the alliance truthfully."

Two figures appeared, one on the left and one on the right, and the attack came before the sound.

Mr. Hu and Zhou Tianyang were forced to go forward. The old Taoist priest was not much better. He stood there, staring at the other side with an ugly expression.

He didn't know when a man in black, dressed like him, appeared there.

His three refined corpses were being stepped on by the man in black.

"Brother, how about giving me this opportunity?" The man in black also noticed the gaze of the mummy Taoist priest and grinned at him, his sharp white teeth like a wild beast.

"Didn't the elders of the sect teach you to respect your senior brothers?"

The old Taoist priest with mummy corpse reached out and took off the storage bag from his waist, his eyes flashing with coldness.

The foundation-building spiritual creatures were like rotten meat, attracting a swarm of flies.
