Before leaving, he sent a thoughtful message to Kong Ju: "Young Master, please be careful."
As they spoke, led by Shangguan Yuzhou, the two of them flew into the air and gradually went away in the direction of Chaodi Ancient City.
Without the threat of day and wind, the two men were no longer alert when flying and felt a lot more relaxed.
Kong Ju stood on the mountainside, watching the two figures disappear into the distance until they were beyond the range of the virtual soul's vision. Then he lowered his head, shook his head and walked towards the mountainside where the puppet was being refined, muttering, "Alas, Dapeng, Dapeng, your master has been worried about you."
The land of Tianqi is vast and sparsely populated.
In addition to the cities, there are also many places where few people go.
Monsters occasionally appear in these places, but most of them are monsters that have not yet been promoted. Generally, monsters that have been promoted have a high level of intelligence.
They will move away from Tianqi and go to the deep mountains and old forests, or to the mountains near the wilderness.
Xiaoyuan Mountain, west of the imperial city.
It is only about 30,000 to 40,000 miles away from the imperial city.
Because it is not on the main road with connections in all directions, Xiaoyuan Mountain is considered a remote location.
There is no city nearby, only a small sect called Fox Words Sect based here.
Being chosen as the place for the sect's inheritance, the spiritual energy in this place is naturally much richer than other places.
Behind Xiaoyuan Mountain, there is a water area among the continuous mountains.
A cave was dug out of the cliff near the blue lake.
The ripples of the lake water in the sun occasionally shine onto the rock walls of the cave, casting beautiful ripples.
Inside the cave, an invisible thread of spiritual power passed through the cave entrance for hundreds of feet and fell under the surface of the lake.
The silk thread was tied to a rough fishing rod and casually placed in the middle of two rocks in the cave.
Kong Ju was leaning against the entrance of the cave with his legs crossed and his eyes half closed. He didn't even look at the fishing rod, but just looked at the blue scenery of the lake comfortably.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze would blow across his face. Feeling the gentleness on his face, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable hum.
It was so comfortable that he could sit still even if the fishing rod did not move for a long time.
However, this leisurely and comfortable mood was soon broken by the unusual movement in the cave behind Kong Ju.
The sudden scorching heat wave drove away the fresh breeze from the outside world and blew on Kong Jue's cheeks, making him feel dry.
This forced Kong Ju to stand up and glance into the cave.
Dapeng's green egg was placed on a huge rock in the center of the cave.
The green light bursting from its eggshell became brighter and brighter, and the rolling heat swept out from the egg in all directions, burning the stone walls in the cave so hot that they became extremely hot.
"Fortunately, I had foresight." Feeling the waves of heat flowing out from the green egg, Kong Ju muttered.
As he spoke, Kong Ju casually made a hand seal.
Buzz! As his spiritual power rolled, the cold air spread out from the Frost Heaven Immortal Base, spreading from the feet of Kong Jue, forming a circle of spiritual power barrier around the cave.
The barrier was the color of frost and snow, spreading a chilling cold air that completely isolated the aura of the green egg flame.
Kong Ju's ice-attribute cultivation can naturally restrain fire-attribute, and he also has the blessing of the Frost Sky Immortal Foundation. Not to mention the heat of the green egg, even if Dapeng completely absorbed the Green Flame Fire Lotus, it may not be able to easily break through this spiritual barrier.
After doing all this, Kong Ju finally relaxed.
But he had no intention of fishing anymore, so he put his fishing rod aside and muttered to himself, "There are no fish in this lake!"
After saying this, Kong Jue looked serious and slapped the Qiankun bag on his waist.
The body of a skinny old man appeared in the cave. It was none other than Day and Feng.
After parting with Shangguan Yuzhou and the others, Kong Ju found this place and rested down. He had not yet had time to check the spiritual object on the body of the priest of the Zhuyin tribe.
Now that his fishing pleasure was disturbed by the big peng, he finally remembered his important business.
In fact, the greatest opportunity Kong Ju had plundered from Zhou and Feng was the trace of wind under the clouds, the essence of heaven and earth.
Just the wind mark under the cloud was enough to make up for the value of the spring elixir that Kong Jue had consumed, and it was more than ten times more valuable.
The remaining spiritual creatures are no match for Yunxia Fenghen in any way.
However, there is absolutely no reason to ignore a thing that is half a step away from being a palm-born being.
Kong Jue is free now, so he might as well tinker with it.
Kong Ju's eyes first fixed on the bodies of Zhou and Feng.
Looking at this half-step palm-born Dharma body, there was a joyful smile in his eyes: "For me who has practiced the divine manipulation puppet, the value of this half-step palm-born Dharma body is no less than Yunxia Fenghen."
The body at the Shenglun realm can be used to refine intermediate puppets.
Even if this half-step palm-born body cannot be used to refine high-level puppets, it can still reach the pinnacle of intermediate-level puppets.
Kong Ju was looking forward to refining Day and Wind into puppets.
"It's hard to find the materials, and it's also difficult to find the essence of heaven and earth that is suitable for the day and the wind." Kong Ju rubbed his eyebrows and said with emotion: "It seems that after returning to the imperial city, I have to go to Xunyu Pavilion again."
Apart from Xunyu Pavilion, Kong Ju couldn't think of any other place where he could buy the materials for refining Day and Wind.
It's another thing that costs money.
As for the essence of heaven and earth, Kong Ju was absolutely reluctant to use the earth-grade essence of heaven and earth to refine puppets.
He still had two portions of Blooming Silver Essence left, and his character was ranked 20th, so it could be used.
After thinking about the direction of dealing with the Day and Wind Dharma Bodies, Kong Ju hooked his finger this time and took the storage bag on his waist into his hand through the air.
It was a green bag, and its quality was obviously better than ordinary storage bags.
The material is soft and feels silky to the touch.
"This storage bag is also a spiritual object, and its quality is not inferior to my Qiankun Bag." Kong Ju gently kneaded the storage bag with his fingers, with a look of joy on his face. The storage bag was extraordinary, which proved that the things inside would not be too bad.
His consciousness was immediately immersed in it.
Finally, it’s not just bottles and jars anymore.
Densely packed colorful spirit crystals immediately caught Kong Qi's eyes, as well as magical instruments that looked to be of good quality, at least twenty or thirty of them.
There are as many as five or six top-grade magical instruments alone.
Kong Jue saw that the styles of those magic weapons were not the products of Gujiang, but more like those used by Tianqi monks.
Their origins are naturally self-evident.
"Zhou and Feng deserved to die. I don't know how many Tianqi cultivators they have killed during this period of time." Kong Ju's consciousness swept over the magic weapons and spirit crystals one by one, his voice filled with indifference.
He was not as vindictive as Shangguan Yuzhou, but he also adhered to the Cangwu sect's rules of not killing innocent people.
Naturally, he despised the actions of day and wind.
However, since these things were taken by Zhou and Feng, and he had killed Zhou and Feng, Kong Ju would not have any moral obsession and accepted them calmly.
"There aren't many spirit crystals, maybe only about 20,000 or 30,000. The truly valuable ones are these five top-grade magic tools. If you take out one of them alone, it would cost at least 10,000 spirit crystals. These five are priced at 50,000, so the total is 70,000 or 80,000."
"There are also more than 20 high-quality magic tools. There are enough of them. The average price is 3,000 yuan per piece, so they can be worth 60,000 yuan."
"Haha, that's almost 130,000 spirit crystals. I'm making a killing this time."
Kong Jue happily counted the harvest.
He emphatically picked out a white flag from the five best magic weapons.
It was a formation flag. The flagpole was as white as jade, and white formation patterns were engraved on the flag. It would emit a dazzling light when a little spiritual power was infused into it.
Kong Ju knew nothing about formations, but after practicing till now, he could roughly understand the effects of formations through what he had seen and heard.
After a little thought, Kong Ju took out the white formation flag, first held it in his left hand, and then inserted it into the soil of the cave under his feet.
With the infusion of Kong Ju's spiritual power.
Buzz! With the ground where the formation flag was inserted as the center, a large area of formation patterns instantly extended on the cave floor.
Following the dazzling bright light, a formation barrier with a radius of nearly 100 feet suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire cave.
Kong Ju walked to the edge of the formation barrier, stretched out his finger wrapped in spiritual power and poked it lightly.
Ji! Where the finger collided with the formation barrier, a sharp and piercing sound was instantly aroused.
Kong Ju's attack only left a white dot on the formation barrier. As Kong Ju's spiritual power converged, the white dot was quickly repaired.
"The defense is good. If the player holding the chess piece has strong enough spiritual power, he can block the attack of a cultivator in the Shuangling realm." After testing the power of the formation flag, Kong Ju nodded with satisfaction.
He will not sell this formation flag and will keep it for his own use. The spiritual barrier consumes too much spiritual power, so the formation flag is more convenient.
I think the owner of this formation flag must have been a formation master with great attainments in the art of formation, but he met Day and Wind.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
In front of his Fenghen magical power, the formation of the Shenglun realm had no room for resistance at all.
But that doesn't mean this flag is useless.
Most of the time, it works.
Kong Ju has no use for the other four top-grade magical weapons.
After a quick glance, he didn't take it out.
Kong Ju began to explore other things in the storage bag.
There are still some bottles and jars. Kong Ju found a jar of demon blood at the Shenglun realm in it, which should be at the Huahun realm.
"It just so happens that we already have the demon blood from Day and Wind's corpses to refine, so we don't need to buy any more."
Kong Ju thought happily, and soon he found three scrolls made of the fur of some unknown monster.
Those things were obviously Gu Jiang's belongings.
After Kong Ju received the inheritance from Xianyu Yanhe, he found many ancient books of Gujiang.
Over the years, Kong Ju could barely recognize some of the Gujiang characters. He couldn't be said to be proficient in it, but he could read it fluently, albeit haltingly.
One of the scrolls records the practice of a sorcery called "The Evil Within".
It is to mix the soul of the monster with some spiritual objects and then use special techniques to outline it on the body of the practitioner, so that the practitioner can tend to the soul of the monster and borrow the power of the monster when it was alive.
Wu Xiu is very good at controlling the souls of monsters and beasts, and each tribe has related witchcraft.
For example, the giant python tattooed on Zaifu Qiaoqiao's body.
The witchcraft of the Zhuyin tribe is obviously much more powerful than that of the Wushe tribe.
"It's a crooked way. I'm not interested in it!" Kong Ju just glanced at it and threw it aside. The more he came into contact with the Gujiang witches, the more afraid Kong Ju became of their witchcraft and generally would not touch it.
But you can leave it to Zaifu Qiaoqiao, I believe she will be able to help.
Another animal skin scroll records a prescription for Gujiang medicine.
The people in Gujiang also make pills, but their techniques are much more primitive than those in other regions. They do not produce pills, but mostly thick ointments.
This prescription is no exception.
It is called "Fu Po San".
The name sounds nice, but it is just a method of refining elixirs by combining the flesh, blood, and souls of living beings.
It has the effect of strengthening the three souls.
Kong Jue's eyes swept over the witch characters on the Fu Po San one by one, and his expression suddenly fell into deep thought.
"What's the difference between this and the blood refining method?"
The only difference is the refining method, and the Fu Po San has an additional process of refining the soul, which is more cruel than the blood refining method.
Kong Ju even suspected that Dingyue Sect's blood refining method might be related to Gujiang.
After all, the two are too similar.
"Perhaps this Dingyue Sect is really connected to Gujiang. The sacrificial method they use on the altar is exactly the same as those in Gujiang."
Kong Ju felt that he had caught an important clue.
After thinking for a moment, he carefully put away the Fu Po Powder.
He didn't dare to use this prescription. With his earth-level foundation and a bright future, he would be digging his own grave if he touched this thing.
However, his master is trying his best to search for the whereabouts of the two leaders of Dingyue Sect.
Maybe this recipe could provide him with some clues, which would be considered a contribution to the sect.
The last animal skin scroll records the method of sacrifice.
The sacrificial process and rituals are detailed down to every step.
Zhuo Yufeng is the chief priest of the Zhuyin tribe. I think all sacrificial activities of the entire tribe are presided over by him, so it is not surprising that this thing exists.
Kong Ju didn't dare to read even one more word and put it away hastily.
There are obscene sacrifices everywhere in Gujiang, and people communicate with all kinds of terrifying beings in exchange for inheritance and power.
At the same time, one's soul will also be eroded.
Kong Jue didn't dare to touch it casually.
Unless there is a way to worship the Snow Spirit like the Snow Drinking Ancestor, there is no danger in the sacrificial ritual.
Kong Jue can give it a try.
Don't talk about anything else.
In this way, all three animal skin scrolls were identified, and Kong Jue could not use any of them.
The items in Zhuo Yufeng's storage bag have almost been counted.
Kong Ju exited the green storage bag with little interest, cursing inwardly, "None of the things from the Gujiang witch cultivators are decent."
Among Zhou and Feng's own things, there was almost nothing that Kong Ju could use except the storage bag.
But fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss.
At least from these things, we found some clues related to Dingyue Sect.
"If the blood refining method came from Gujiang, maybe the two leaders of Dingyue Sect are in Gujiang now."
Kong Ju slowly put down the green storage bag and smiled coldly.
After killing Zhou Yufeng, he has become entangled with Gu Jiang.
It is impossible to stay out of it. With the entanglement of cause and effect, you may run into Xiao Yuanshan and Xiahou Wenyi, two stray dogs in the future.
Anyway, I have to go to Gujiang.
Kong Ju is now not so worried about the threat posed by these two masters.
Dealing with the remnants of the Dingyue Sect was originally the responsibility of the Cangwu Sect. At that time, perhaps they could use the sect's power to facilitate their trip to Gujiang.
"How should I tell my master? Well, I need to think about it carefully."
From inside the cave, Kong Jue's laughter could be heard. (End of this chapter)
