Chapter 253: The Underworld



"One hundred thousand spirit stones, right? I saw the reward!"

The man was very excited, and his eyes quickly scanned back and forth between his things and Shopkeeper Jiang's face.

He was trying his best to read Shopkeeper Jiang's facial expression.

It can be seen that he actually has no confidence in what he brings.

Jiang Li could clearly see the uneasiness on his face.

Judging from his clothes, he must be an independent cultivator. He wanted to get rich overnight, but he was afraid of hearing a negative answer from the shopkeeper.

That's why he has this expression.

When Shopkeeper Jiang saw the stones on the table for the first time, the little bit of expectation in his eyes completely disappeared.

However, as a businessman with professional ethics, he still sat down, picked up the tools and checked it carefully.

The casual cultivator's heart beat very fast until Manager Jiang finally put down his tools and told him the result.

"I'm sorry, but the stones you brought are not Sansheng Stones. They are just some ordinary pebbles with Yin energy. We won't accept them."

"These blades of grass are indeed forget-me-nots, but the picking and preservation techniques were too rough. They have completely dried up and are of very poor quality."

"According to the current market price, it will cost 80 spirit stones. If you are willing, you can keep these forget-me-nots. If not, go ask someone else."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he pushed the stones and spiritual herbs forward, ignored the wandering cultivator, and returned to greet Jiang Li.

The monk's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He stood there with his lips turning pale and beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.

In the end, he left with eighty spirit stones.

Jiang Li used his appraisal skills to take a look and found that this shopkeeper Jiang was indeed not lying. The evaluation he gave was also very pertinent.

But forget-me-not.

He thought again of the red spider lily he had bought from the Manjianghong in the City That Never Sleeps.

The monks who brought the red spider lily at that time came from other places in the Eastern Region.

I didn’t expect to discover the forget-me-not grass when I first arrived in Fengyang City in the Eastern Region.

From what they said, there is a reward of 100,000 spirit stones. I am afraid there is something else going on.

"Boss, what's the matter with the forget-me-not grass and the Three-Life Stone?"

Forget-me-not grass means much more to Jiang Li than to ordinary cultivators.

With the help of the Yin Burial Coffin and the Nine Nether Wood, Jiang Li can create a Yin Qi environment inside the coffin that is very similar to the underworld.

With the addition of those corpses and ghost soldiers, he could easily breed underworld plants on a large scale.

The red spider lilies that have bloomed all over the burial coffin are the best proof.

The red spider lily alone has already brought him a lot of help, if he could also get the forget-me-not.

With the two combined, his magic coffin and soul-burying ghost soldiers can be greatly strengthened again.

"Sir, why are you asking this? It's not a secret. Some time ago, someone discovered some strange overlapping illusions in the Ghost King Wasteland."

"And brought out some things from it. You should have guessed it, the red spider lily, the forget-me-not, and the three-life stone."

"When these three things are put together, the illusion is very likely to be connected to the legendary underworld."

"That was a key place in ancient times that controlled the cycle of life and death. If we could get a little inheritance there, it would be really amazing."

"So the Ghost King Wasteland is very busy during this period."

Isn't this going to be lively? Even Jiang Li couldn't help but be moved when he heard it and wanted to explore the fantasy world.

The underworld, the real body of the Nine Nether Wood is still hidden there.

"Then what about the 100,000 spirit stone reward that the cultivator mentioned just now?"

Jiang Li continued to ask.

Shopkeeper Jiang was much more patient with a wealthy customer like him, and he explained things to him without getting tired.

"That's because the location where the Netherworld illusion appears is very unstable and does not exist for long. If you want to enter it, you basically rely on luck."

"But later, someone discovered that the Three Life Stones brought out from the illusion could actually actively guide the illusion. More Three Life Stones could also maintain the stability of the illusion for a long time."

"For the possible inheritance in the Netherworld, a powerful force has offered a high price to buy the Three Life Stone."

"Those 100,000 low-grade spirit stones are indeed real."

So that's how it is.

For those forces in the Eastern Region who are pursuing the Divine Transformation or even higher-level cultivators, a hundred thousand spirit stones are indeed nothing.

Jiang Li's purchase of the elixir alone cost no less than one million. For those powerful people, there was no hesitation in using these spiritual stones to exchange for an opportunity to advance further on the road to immortality.

"Thank you, Manager Jiang, for clearing up my confusion."

"In addition, I am somewhat interested in this forget-me-not. If there is fresh forget-me-not next time, please keep it for me, Shopkeeper Jiang. This is my communication talisman paper. Thank you, Shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Jiang took the communication talisman from Jiang Li and did not refuse. However, Jiang Li's request was somewhat unexpected to him.

"Oh? Fresh forget-me-nots cannot survive for long even if they are properly preserved. Usually, they are only in demand when spiritual plant masters want to try to cultivate them."

"Could it be that the guest is also a spiritual plant master?"

There are now many cultivators in the Eastern Region who are proficient in this art and are trying to cultivate red spider lilies and forget-me-nots.

But maintaining survival is already extremely difficult, and no one has ever achieved reproduction.

"Not really a spiritual plant master. I just do some research."

Jiang Li showed off a little of his pure wood yin spiritual energy, which surprised the other party.

He was very generous, able to take out so many spirit stones. The spiritual energy was so pure, obviously his skills were extremely advanced, and he used a lot of spirit stones, spirit pills and spirit medicines.

He was certain in his heart that there must be a powerful force behind Jiang Li.

There is no harm in communicating more with guests like this.

"Sir, you are very capable. If you successfully prepare the Forget-Me-Not Grass, we at Yaowangxuan will purchase it in unlimited quantities."

"In addition, the Temple of the Gods is also purchasing the dew from the forget-me-not grass, and the price is quite high. If you succeed, you may be able to establish a relationship with the Temple of the Gods."

Jiang Li nodded. This was the Forget-Sorrow Dew, one of the specialties of the underworld. There were some records of it in the Jiuyou Taoist Scriptures. It was also said to be one of the main ingredients of the legendary Mengpo Soup. No one knew what the Temple of the Gods was going to do with it.

After collecting all the pills, Jiang Li and his companion, led by Dachuan, visited dozens of pill shops nearby.

Generally speaking, they are similar.

Except for some fine elixirs marked with the products of certain masters, the prices are generally stable with not much difference.

Jiang Li bought some elixirs that were not available in Yaowangxuan in these shops, and also bought a few detailed maps of the Eastern Region. Then he left Fengyang City.

. . . .

High in the sky outside Fengyang City.

"Jiang Li, why are you flying so slowly this time?"

On the way back, they were still standing on the two wooden swords.

But compared with the lightning speed when coming, the wooden sword under his feet flew slowly on the way back.

That speed is not much different from that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

This is far from Jiang Li’s usual speed.

"It's flying too fast. The guests behind can't catch up. What can we do?"

This guest, as the name suggests, is someone who may die in the wilderness.

"What? Someone is following us? Jiang Li, shouldn't we call for backup?"

Yan Hong had never experienced this before, nor did he have the impressive strength that Jiang Li had. It was his first time encountering a wandering cultivator following him, so he was naturally a little nervous.

But Jiang Li not only did not do so, but also lowered his altitude and fell into a dense forest.

"Support... Oh, you are right."

"We need to ask them to restrain themselves and not take any action."

After hearing what Yan Hong said, Jiang Li remembered that in addition to the several tails behind him, there were also two Yuanyings following him as secret guards.

If he waits for them to take action, it will be his turn.

Jiang Li had taken so many pills before, and his body was full of energy with nowhere to vent it, so he was just waiting for the punching bag to be delivered to his door.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

He reached out and wiped the Chongshan Alliance Leader's Order.

A message was passed on, and in the sky, the two Nascent Soul elders were already visible behind several casual cultivators. They looked at each other and disappeared silently.

Soon, rustling sounds came from all around.

Six monks surrounded them from six directions.

Above the woods, a magical net covered them, blocking their escape route in the air.

"Haha, kid, you're quite sensible. You knew you couldn't run away, so you just stayed where you are and waited for death."

"Very good, very good. I really appreciate your awareness. Don't worry, I will make sure you leave in a very comfortable way when I take action later!"

Jiang Li took a quick glance and saw that their auras were not concealed. They were all casual cultivators in the Jindan stage. Three were real Dan, and three were virtual Dan. They should have known each other for a long time. When they walked, they stepped on the Big Dipper and formed a three-talent formation.

As expected, the central area of ​​the Eastern Region is home to many talented people. Any group of robbers who come out at random can have such strength.

"Jiang Li, what should we do?"

For Yan Hong, a Jindan cultivator was a very important person. Being surrounded by these guys, his calves were trembling.

Jiuyou, the art of four-pillar prison!

Jiang Li casually shot out a faint light, and four solid wood rose from the ground. Then branches grew out and connected to each other, forming a wooden cage that protected Yan Hong firmly inside.

"Boy, stop struggling. You are useless as a Foundation Establishment Stage person."

"Just hand over everything you have. You and your friends will die more comfortably."

Seeing Jiang Li casting a spell, the six Jindan cultivators didn't care at all. It was ridiculous for a foundation-building cultivator to try to play tricks in front of them.

What's the use of these few pieces of wood?

A robber in the Solid Dan realm took two steps closer, raised his hand and chopped Jiang Li's four-pillar prison with a knife.

However, there was a clanging sound of fine iron clashing, and the magic sword was directly bounced away. The monk was also shocked so much that his palms became numb and he took two steps back.

Looking at the wooden pillar again, there was only a shallow gap left, and it healed in the blink of an eye.

In their eyes, this scene seemed a little exaggerated.

"Be careful, this kid is weird!"

"Don't hold back, just kill him!"

"Three Talents Killing Formation! Overlord Thorn!"

Jiang Li's Wood Technique made them instinctively feel that something was wrong. In order to prevent any further trouble, they rushed forward with the Three Talents formation and were ready to kill Jiang Li.

A long knife, a flying sword, and a spear.

The three sharp swords pierced Jiang Li's back of the head, heart, and qi sea, three fatal points at the same time.

If one of these three places was hit, the outcome would be serious injury and death. If all three were hit, even a Jindan cultivator would surely die! But after their moves accurately hit the target, the expressions of the three solid Dan cultivators suddenly changed.

Because of the powerful force and strong spiritual energy in their hands, when they fell on Jiang Li, they suddenly disappeared without a trace inexplicably.

They had never encountered such a situation before. How could a person's body be so strange! This was Jiang Li's Tyrant Body Technique, using completely equal strength and spiritual energy to offset their attacks.

This is only the eighth level of the Hegemonic Body Art. If you can practice it to the ninth level, you can let the enemy know what Hegemonic Body Counterattack is.

"What a pity, your strength is still a little lacking. You must work harder in your next life. Now, it's my turn!"

The cultivator holding the knife tried to force himself several times, but the sharp tip of the knife was pressing against Jiang Li and could not move forward an inch!

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He drew his sword and was about to run away, but the sword was firmly grasped by a hand, as if it was welded to Jiang Li's body and did not move at all!

Jiang Li, the leader of Chongshan League, is not someone who can be robbed by anyone.

He kicked hard on the opponent's chest, breaking more than twenty ribs. The increased intracavity pressure caused by the squeezing made his eyes pop out.

The body that was thrown out was swallowed by Rayquaza who suddenly emerged from the ground before it hit the ground.

"Dragon! ...There is a dragon!"

The sudden appearance of the dragon head startled the attacking cultivator. Putting aside the strength of Rayquaza, they really looked too similar.

No matter who you are, you can't just turn a blind eye.

During this distraction, Jiang Li flashed behind the three Xudan cultivators and struck them with his swords three times, "Bang, Bang, Bang".

The three of them fell down helplessly.

Jindan cultivators have inner elixirs in their bodies, so it is not that easy for them to faint. But Jiang Li directly broke their spines, and their bodies softened and they lay down.

Finally, there were two solid pills left. Looking at Jiang Li who was still unsatisfied in stretching his shins, the hairs on his body stood up and he dared not attack him anymore.

Could anyone explain to me how a foundation-building cultivator could kill their four companions with ease?

This is not a fat sheep in the foundation-building stage, this is clearly a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing! They fled on the left and right.

The man who used the flying sword was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already jumped high into the sky.

However fast the flying sword is, Jiang Li’s Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword is even faster!

The flying sword cultivator suddenly felt a chill in his chest and a heat in his belly. He looked down and found that a dark sword had grown out of his chest.

Warm blood was gushing out of the wound and flowing downwards, and only then did I feel my stomach getting hot.

"when?"

After leaving these words, the sword cultivator fell from the flying sword and crashed into the dense forest below.

Jiang Li’s flying sword that can kill immortals is so fast and so sharp.

Anyone below the Golden Elixir level would have difficulty knowing when they were stabbed by the sword.

Trying to escape from the Immortal-Slaying Sword is an even more foolish decision.

But in a moment, only one monk holding the Overlord Spear was left.

The man dropped his spear and fell to his knees.

"Senior...! Senior, please spare my life!"

Comrades, may you get promoted and make a fortune!
