Shen Lian followed Jiang Jiyu down from the black spirit ship, and his eyes took in the entire scene in the valley.

At the same time, his spiritual thoughts were also restrained.

Just now, he sensed a divine sense that was no weaker than his own sweeping over him. There was no doubt that this was a divine sense at the Nascent Soul level.

Even though the demon clan's soul is a weak point, they still have to remain absolutely vigilant when facing a fourth-order demon king.

"These restrictions were reinforced by the many demon kings in the mountains over the years."

Seeing Shen Lian looking at the restriction, Jiang Jiyu also began to introduce it.

Shen Lian nodded and said with emotion, "The divine power is like a prison, and the vastness is like the ocean."

"Friend Ding can talk."

"It is said that a great cultivator from the human race came here in the past, but all returned in defeat."

At some point, the old monster Yang came up again.

A hint of horror appeared in Shen Lian's eyes at the right time, which was clearly seen by the two half-demon monks beside him.

In Shen Lian's eyes, the void formed by the spiritual forbidden formations here was a true reflection of the eight words he had just said.

Countless restrictions, from the first to the fourth level, formed a complete large-scale restriction with each other. It was not an empty talk that it could withstand nine out of ten great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, Shen Lian also discovered that some of these restrictions were the first time he had seen them and they did not exist in the inheritance.

From this, it can be seen that these restrictions that he had never seen before should have been recently innovated by the monks.

Thinking of this, he touched his head. It seemed that his version had not been updated and he was still using the craftsmanship of the previous generation.

The evolution of a rune takes a long time to take shape, and some prescriptions and spiritual plant techniques require even longer time to be verified bit by bit.

This is the second time this has happened.

Shen Lian silently suppressed his thoughts and glanced at the monks around him.

The number of Jindan monks who came down from the surrounding black spirit ships exceeded five hundred, which made him a little astonished.

The appeal of Canglan Mountain is too strong.

"Let's go."

Jiang Jiyu pointed to the depths of the valley, where there was a huge black palace built against the mountain. The monks who walked down from the spirit ship all headed for this black palace.

Up to now, Shen Lian still hadn't figured out the exact purpose of Jiang Jiyu calling him here, but looking at the Jindan cultivators coming and going around, he didn't think it was a big problem.

In the black hall, there are rows of quaint stone chairs, but there are no rules. The cultivators who come here can sit anywhere they want. Even those in the early Jindan stage can sit in the first row.

However, the cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Core were very self-aware. They all hid behind and carefully observed their surroundings.

Shen Lian and the other two chose a seat in the middle area and sat down.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this fellow Daoist looks very unfamiliar to me. Why don't you introduce him to me and tell me where he is from?"

"Ha, this is Fellow Daoist Han, a third-rank lower-grade weapon refiner, who has come here specially to join in the fun."

"Master Huo, long time no see. I heard that you refined a third-grade, top-grade magical weapon, the Tonghuo Sword, a few days ago?"

"Shopkeeper Shen, this must be your new third-level puppeteer."

…

The hall was very quiet, and the monks were all communicating through their spiritual thoughts.

But for Shen Lian, it was too easy to secretly intercept some conversations.

Through eavesdropping, he discovered that among the monks who came, one-fifth were various craftsmen, including puppeteers, weapon refiners, spiritual plant masters, alchemists, as well as unconventional insect trainers, magicians, and so on.

Among these people, a small number of them, like Shen Lian, were here for the first time, but more seemed to have been here more than once.

"One of the third-grade top-grade Dragon Marrow Phoenix Yang Pills is equivalent to our twenty years of hard training. Lord Canglan Demon King has really felt our pulse."

"It's a pity that I don't have enough strength to get such a good thing."

"Alas, I have been wanting to obtain the inner elixir fire of the Dragon King for decades, but now I am still staring at it helplessly."

“That Jiao King’s inner elixir fire was personally refined by a great demon king. Although it is an acquired spiritual fire, it is more suitable for alchemists and weapon refiners like you and me to refine than some heavenly and earthly spiritual fires. Once you use it for yourself, your craftsmanship will definitely improve in the future.”

"A third-order, great-perfection golden-patterned ape, what a great puppet embryo. If I can get it and make it into a puppet and bring it back to the sect, even if I die in the future, the sect will still have a treasure to guard the sect."

In the corner of the hall, an old man with a bad spirit but bright eyes sighed.

"This is my last chance. With my current energy and spirit, I'm afraid I'll fall down next time and never get the reward from the Monster King again."

…

"He is a famous puppet master nearby. He once made two third-grade top-quality puppets."

Jiang Jiyu pointed at the old man in the corner and said, "This old man has come here many times, hoping to get the reward from the Demon King, but his luck is bad and he returns empty-handed every time."

"Everyone has come this way. The reward from the Demon King is not easy to get."

At this moment, even though Jiang Jiyu had been keeping it a secret before, Shen Lian almost understood the purpose of his visit.

The great demon king of Canglan Mountain took out treasures and asked various craftsmen to refine some things.

Moreover, what the Great Demon King wants to refine is not ordinary, and even a top-grade third-level puppeteer may not be able to complete it.

At this moment, Shen Lian was also a little curious about what the Demon King was going to do.

"That fire refining master is a third-level upper-grade weapon refiner."

"That female cultivator in green is called Ms. Lin. She is an expert in cultivating spiritual plants. Her most impressive accomplishment was using just over a decade to cultivate a 2,000-year-old Green Sacrifice Spiritual Grass to a 3,900-year-old medicinal grass. She did a great job healing the spiritual injuries of a Nascent Soul senior."

Having said this, Jiang Jiyu lowered the tone of his voice.

"This Yuanying senior has recently advanced to the late Yuanying stage."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and took another look at the female cultivator who was as beautiful as a green spiritual grass. She stood there without paying any attention to the gazes of other cultivators around her, and was always immersed in her own world.

The terrifying thing about high-level craftsmen is that they may make friends with higher-level monks.

This spiritual plant master has the support of a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, so his path of cultivation can be said to be quite bright.

Unlike him, I have nothing, my family is broke and I can only rely on myself.

While Shen Lian was sighing, a white fox slowly walked outside the hall, with demonic energy rolling under its four furry paws.

When they reached the center of the hall, the rolling demonic energy suddenly exploded, and a female cultivator with a curvy figure appeared. A light veil lightly covered the places that should not be covered, and did not cover the places that should be covered at all, and her whole body radiated holy light.

"They are all here."

The transformed fox demon stared at the monks in the hall with a pair of big watery eyes.

"There are old friends and new friends. I will tell you the rules again."

"Lord Demon King wants to make something, and needs the help of all the craftsmen."

"If you want to do your part for the Demon King, you need to pass some tests."

As he spoke, the fox demon snapped his fingers.

There was a slight tremor in the hall, and then two long rivers of colorful spiritual light fell from the dome above the hall.

The long river fell to the ground, splashing water and forming a Lingguang Gate on each side, each covered with ancient patterns.

"The old rules: craftsmen on the left, ordinary monks on the right."

"The test will last for three days, and those who fail will be sent back."

…

After the light gate appeared, the monks in the hall began to move. Most of them had been here more than once and already knew the rules here.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, as long as you can pass the test, you can get everything you want."

Jiang Jiyu rubbed his fingers, left a word for Shen Lian, and then went towards the light gate. He went through the light gate on the right.

The same goes for Old Monster Yang.

Shen Lian glanced at the monks around him and walked towards the light gate on the left.

After stepping into the light gate, there was a bright light in front of my eyes. A translucent stream of light flowed down from above, and gradually turned into the appearance of the fox demon female cultivator outside.

However, this fox demon is only in the form of a translucent spirit.

Well, it's completely bald.

Shen Lian looked around and found himself in an independent space.

The fox demon female cultivator sniffed Shen Lian vigorously, "What are you going to test, fellow Daoist?"

"puppet."

The fox demon nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the space in front of him changed into a spacious and bright cave for cultivation, with three huge stone platforms appearing.

On the stone platform on the far left was a third-order lower-grade black water python, its entire body coiled up in a ball, with thick water vapor lingering all over it.

On the stone platform on the far right was a demon wolf, its aura was at the middle level of the third order, and it also emitted a strong smell of blood.

It is complete, but it has been cut into hundreds of pieces and piled together.

On the stone platform in the middle was a huge leg bone that was ten feet long. Some of the fur had not been peeled off completely in some places, and it exuded a strong smell of blood and brutality, which was of the third-grade upper grade.

Three beams of light fell from above, just falling on the three monsters on the stone platform, allowing Shen Lian to see the whole thing on the stone platform more clearly.

He could see that the monster that seemed to be emitting a strong aura was not actually real, but a light and shadow effect cast by some means.

The fox demon circled around Shen Lian twice like a small fish, then finally nodded and flew to the stone platform in the middle.

"Fellow Daoist, please look."

The little fox demon snapped his fingers.

Then you can see ripples of light appearing on the falling beam, and in the ripples all kinds of colors are rolling and converging, each forming the image of a spiritual object.

"A third-level lower-grade Thunder Treasure Tianyuan Ape Thunder Plate, made with the core skull of a third-level early-stage peak Thunder Bone Demon Ape, supplemented by several five-element thunder stones, by the human race's third-level upper-grade weapon refining master, Master Lan Yang."

Shen Lian looked at the thunder plate that was flashing with lightning and inlaid with colorful edges. It was indeed made by a master, just a little worse than his.

Master Lan Yang, he saw it when he was outside the hall just now.

At this time, the little fox demon jumped onto the platform on the far right and pointed at the emerging spiritual image.

"A bottle of third-grade intermediate-quality Heavenly Thunder True Liquid, taken from the triple elemental sky thunderstorm area."

In the world of immortal cultivation, there is a saying that there are three levels of heaven. The lowest heaven is naturally the place that cultivators can see when they look up. This is the first level of heaven, which is 48,000 feet high.

The second level of the Yuan Heaven is ninety-six thousand feet high, and the height of the third level of the Yuan Heaven is unknown.

The third level of Yuantian, after entering the sky for 96,000 feet, is full of dangers. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator may encounter horrific celestial phenomena if he is not careful, let alone entering it to collect resources.

"The corpse of a third-level Great Perfection Heavenly Origin Thunder Ape. This ape broke through the fourth level and perished under the heavenly tribulation. It was preserved by the Great Demon King with a special method. Its skin, fur, bones, and spiritual power are all preserved. It also contains the true meaning of a thunder of heavenly tribulation."

Hearing the little fox demon's introduction, Shen Lian thought of the puppeteer in the hall just now.

If you ask what the most powerful method is in the world of immortal cultivation, these three treasures in front of you are them.

Hit the heart.

Do you want it? Shen Lian definitely wants it.

Each kind of treasure corresponds to a puppet of a corresponding rank, giving you a clear reminder that if you want it, you have to show your true ability.

The lower-grade third-level thunder treasure is of no use to Shen Lian. The middle-grade thunder liquid is good, but also of no great use.

But the corpse of the Tianyuan Thunder Ape, which was at the third level of perfection, was chopped off when it was undergoing the Nascent Soul tribulation. It is full of treasures.

No wonder the little fox just now circled around him and sniffed at him. It seemed like it was treating people differently based on their appearance.

The aura of the top-grade third-level puppet master outside before was the earth-based magic power, and the one who was sighing was a third-level great perfection golden-patterned ape.

This ape is a demon beast with the dual attributes of earth and gold.

The Demon King Canglan is not a human, but he understands human nature.

I believe other monks have also encountered the same situation as him.

No wonder it attracted so many Jindan monks. Some of them came more than once. With treasures hanging, what's the difference between this and hanging a carrot in front of a donkey.

The great demon king Canglan really can do it.

"Is there any demon blood left in the body of the Tianyuan Thunder Ape?"

Shen Lian pointed at the light and shadow of the Thunder Ape.

"Of course there is. The true meaning of the Heavenly Thunder exists in the precious blood of the Thunder Ape."

The little fox demon smiled sweetly and blinked her big watery eyes, as if telling Shen Lian, I know what you were thinking just now.

Yes, it's just what you think.

Want it.

The third-order great perfection of thunder-attributed precious blood also contains a ray of the true meaning of heavenly thunder. Whether it is used for drawing talismans or for body training, it is Shen Lian's dream come true.

The key is that after bleeding, there is no effect on the demon corpse, and it can still be made into a third-level perfect puppet.

Damn it, Demon King Canglan is definitely tempting him.

"My friend, I am not trying to seduce you."

"I'm just telling you that this demon ape corpse fell under the fifth thunder tribulation, and its demon body has actually undergone a transformation. It can almost be called a quasi-fourth-level level."

"In addition, the Heavenly Thunder True Meaning sealed in the Thunder Blood is countless times stronger than any Heavenly Thunder True Liquid."
