Inside the cave, Shen Lian pondered for a moment, and suddenly a mysterious thought came to him. He didn't know if he had awakened, but his naming level rose sharply.
"Hunyuan, Hunyuan, not bad, not bad. This name still sounds powerful."
In a moment of thought.
Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts enveloped every part of his body, including his internal organs, spiritual orifices, meridians, and upper and lower dantian.
Between the flesh and blood, the newly formed meridians were as vast and broad as a river, more than ten times wider than the original three energy meridians, forming a whale-swallowing momentum.
In the meridians, runes as tiny as hairs are derived from the five-colored magic power flowing through the meridians, shuttling in and out of the meridians. Each rune contains nine different attributes of rule power.
The nine rules are integrated into one, and the aura is not released outwardly. However, if you sense it carefully, you can feel an unparalleled mighty power.
"One meridian takes into account the three methods of law, body, and Tao. When I integrate all the original meridians, it will be the time when the three-in-one magic power is fully developed."
As he thought about it, a stream of colorful magic power flew out from each of the four meridians, passed through the lower dantian and sank into the small world in his pocket.
In the small world, the female cultivator He Dao was lying quietly, and four colorful magic beads, representing the magic cultivation, body cultivation, Tao cultivation, and Hunyuan magic power, fell on the female cultivator He Dao.
"puff!"
"puff!"
Four voices sounded in succession, and four magical powers fell on different parts of the female cultivator's body.
The first three single magic beads only opened the robe of the female cultivator, and a colorful petal exploded on her fair skin.
The three-in-one Hunyuan magic power directly pierced a bloody hole and exploded a mass of flesh and blood in the body.
Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness fell on the blood hole, carefully examining the state of damage caused by the four energies.
The hole created was also compared with the hole on the female cultivator's forehead.
Compared to the colorful water droplets used when fighting for heads before, after cultivating the new technique, the power of the formed Hunyuan magic power has at least doubled.
"Sanhe... No, my Hunyuan magic power is already at the same level as Hehedao magic power."
The reason why the Hedao cultivators are so high and mighty is that even if I stand still and let a small Lianxu cultivator attack me, you won't be able to break my defense.
"Ha... Nine major rules, three energies fused together, causing a qualitative change in my magic power."
Shen Lian rubbed his hands excitedly. In the late stage of Lianxu, he condensed magic power comparable to the quality of Taoist monks. This was far beyond his initial expectations.
Recalling the first time he knew about the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, his goal was to achieve a foundation comparable to that of a single small rule when he reached perfection in refining the void.
Now, he is only in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, but he has already achieved this goal, and even slightly exceeded it.
The only thing he may lack is endurance. Although his magic power is comparable to that of the Hedao level, he is still at the Lianxu level after all, and his reserves are still a little worse than those of the Hedao.
"Hehehe, the posture of a true immortal, the posture of a true immortal."
When he took the opportunity to collect heads before, his Hunyuan magic power was still in the initial stage. If it were now, Shen Lian felt that he would not need to use a clone and could kill the female cultivator by himself.
The creation of this technique was not in vain. It was equivalent to systematically sorting out his own magic power. Under such circumstances, when facing a cultivator with a single small rule, he could really fight head-on.
Of course, if the situation could happen again, he would still choose to let Mi Xuzi go.
"What a pity, I can only integrate nine rules for now. If there are more, I won't be able to handle it.
Of these nine rules, only the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and Blood Path are at the third level, and Space and Reincarnation are at the first level."
"Only three rules have reached the third level, and the remaining six... hmm... this shows that I still have a lot of room for improvement in the Void Refining Realm. If all nine rules can be advanced to the third level..."
…
Thinking of this, Shen Lian felt very happy, and felt more and more that he had a good chance of becoming an immortal, and was about to become a rising star in the immortal world.
When his eyes opened and closed, blue light flickered.

Since the newly created skills have not yet completely taken over the body, there are still meridians opened up by the three skills remaining in Shen Lian's body. This situation will continue for quite some time.
Fortunately, the meridians opened up by the Hunyuan Gong method were as broad as a river and had great momentum. From the very beginning, they suppressed the original three methods and allowed Shen Lian to regain control of his body.
…
[…Divine Enlightenment Points +5]
While carefully savoring the changes in his body, the mysterious sound in his sea of consciousness rang out again, along with the trembling of the 'Spirit Root Tree' in his lower dantian.
At this moment, Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness enveloped every corner of his body, sensing the changes occurring within his body.
By now, he has the confidence to make initial explorations.
Especially after the creation of this new method, the newly opened meridians are like a big river, running through the top of the head, connecting to the middle dantian in the middle, and connecting to the lower dantian at the bottom, and even crossing the flesh and blood and the five internal organs along the way.
This gave Shen Lian a feeling that perhaps in the future the Dantian in his body would disperse and become a part of his body. His body would become the Dantian, a container for storing magic power, and even his soul would be combined with his physical body.
Of course, this is all a matter for the future. At this moment, every time the 'Spirit Root Tree' in the lower Dantian trembles, a mysterious sound will be generated in the sea of consciousness.
Shen Lian has been hearing this voice for ten thousand years. He has been accustomed to it during his retreats and cultivation.
[…Divine Enlightenment Points +2]
[…Divine Enlightenment Points +3]
…
The colorful 'Spirit Root Tree' sparkled with brilliance, and every time it trembled, colorful mist would emerge from the 'Spirit Root Tree'.
Above the 'Spirit Root Tree', the newly opened meridians are right facing here. With each cycle, a large amount of mana will slowly flow down and submerge the 'Spirit Root Tree'.
This time, Shen Lian also discovered a situation that had never happened before. The cultivator's elixir was rooted deep in the dantian. This was a well-known thing in the world of immortal cultivation.
As for how the spiritual roots came about, there are many versions of the rumors. Some say that the spiritual essence from heaven was integrated into the bodies of the first generation ancestors of each race, while others say that it is the manifestation of one's own innate energy.
In short, even if a semi-immortal giant came, it would be hard to say, because everyone has already regarded having spiritual roots as a habit.
But at this moment, Shen Lian discovered that his 'Spirit Root Tree' had no roots at the bottom of his Dantian. It was like duckweed floating on the water, but it was perfectly integrated with his body, which was very strange.
In addition, the number of divine enlightenment points that appeared had also changed. As early as when he was in the foundation-building stage, it was determined that the maximum number of divine enlightenment points that would be born every day was nine.
But now, today he has gained more than twenty points of divine enlightenment, as if the shackles have been broken.
After studying for a long time, Shen Lian still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he retracted his attention and many guesses emerged in his mind.
"Could it be that my spiritual root is a fake?"
"Is it some kind of spiritual treasure?"
…
Speculations are just speculations after all. At least for now, the role of the 'Spirit Root Tree' is quite significant, assisting in the integration of the nine major rules.
"The next goal is to focus on comprehending the power of rules that have not yet reached the third level."
Shen Lian once again set up his small jade table in the cave. Kankan jumped out and poured wine on the side. She also grabbed Dahei and held him in her hands, quietly thinking about her next training plan.
If he wants to transform the nine kinds of rule power into three levels, how can he let himself comprehend it by himself? Wouldn't it be a waste to have so many clones?
"Now that I have the skills, I also need to comprehend a few spells to match them. Only when the original soup is transformed into the original food will it be the most delicious."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, his mind wandering.
"Master, it hurts..."
"My brain is about to be squeezed out of a hole."
Dahei shrank his body and didn't want to shout, but his owner's grip was too strong and half of his head was crushed.
“Crack!
“Ah…”
Shen Lian lowered his head to take a look, and with a roar from Dahei, the half of his head that had been crushed was pinched back together.
"Okay, look at the board straight."
Touching the big black head, Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction. He was quite experienced in surgical massage.
The big black eyes were tearful, "Master, why don't you just play with the Three Thousand? It's white and smooth, and mine is too dark and it hurts."
"You have no conscience. I will help you clear your muscles and bones."
Throwing Dahei aside, Shen Lian stood up, put away the small jade table, and quickly turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the sea of sand.
Before leaving, he stored the gravel where he had been in seclusion into the small world he carried with him.
After more than a thousand years of seclusion and contemplation, his strength has made a qualitative leap.
Under the power of Hunyuan, he is a cultivator of Hedao.
Can't beat Hedao, can't beat Lianxu?
Now that I'm confident enough, it's time to do some serious work.
This time, the advancement to the late stage of Refining Void has attracted a cultivator at the foundation level of Dao. The next time he advances to the perfection of Refining Void... Shen Lian doesn't even dare to think about it. He must be fully prepared.
One clone of Mixuzi was totally not enough. He could only block several Hedao, and one of them almost died.
He doesn't have enough clones, and they're not strong enough.
If one wants to control more clones, one's own strength is the key, and the soul and natal talisman array are particularly important.
In terms of the soul, look for the corresponding spiritual object of the soul's origin, and advance the soul to the third level as soon as possible.
The current grade of the natal talisman array has reached the peak of the sixth level, and there is also a seventh-level five-element original spiritual object. There is no need to obtain other original spiritual objects in the short term.
Thousands of years ago, when Shen Lian used his natal talisman array to control Mi Xuzi, he realized the problem.
The five elements mutual generation formation within the natal talisman array has not been fully constructed. If it forms an endless cycle, the control strength can be increased by at least 30% to 50%.
Don't underestimate this 30% to 50%; in a life-and-death situation, with this 30% to 50% support, the fight can be ended faster.
So the next priority is to find creatures with the four elements of gold, wood, water and earth, and form a five-element mutual generation formation with Xiaofeng, and refine them all into the formation plate.
This five-element circulation formation that completes the natal talisman array is also the basis of Shen Lian's other plan.
That is to create a Hedao monk for fun.
With Mi Xuzi, a clone of the holy land's Hedao seed, Shen Lian gained great benefits in collecting elixirs, and even blocked the sudden Hedao killing calamity.
If he could directly control a Hedao clone, wouldn't he be able to easily cross the Juntian Realm? Hedao cultivators were considered high-end players in the entire immortal world, and they did not belong to the same circle as other living cultivators.
Since there is no possibility for me to achieve the state of harmony with the Dao in a short period of time, I will first push a clone who has achieved the state of harmony with the Dao into the high-end circle, learn about the life of high-end cultivators, and adapt to it in advance.
Shen Lian didn't even dare to think about directly creating a Hedao as a clone. He even killed the female Hedao of Xianhu Sect to eliminate future troubles. Asking him to find a Hedao cultivator to snatch his life mark was purely looking for trouble.
The natural thing is to first create a clone who has reached the perfect state of refining emptiness, and then push it to achieve the state of harmony with the Tao behind the scenes.
Forget about Mi Xuzi.
The Xianluo bloodline is too eye-catching. Once it triggers a heavenly calamity, it will surely cause earth-shaking consequences. If it then leads to a killing calamity, it would be a complete loss.
What's more, Mi Xuzi will be of great use in the future. Shen Lian plans to make him his substitute before he achieves the Dao, just like Pei Tianlan in the Yunxiao Realm.
He wanted to sneak around, not to provoke other Hedao cultivators in the fairy world.
Just create an inconspicuous, single, small, rule-based clone first.
A cultivator who has achieved the Dao through single small rules is just right. He is an ancestor in the eyes of billions of creatures, but garbage in the eyes of creatures who have achieved the Dao through large rules.
Of course, another very important reason is that, regardless of whether a cultivator who has achieved the Great Rules of Harmony can survive the tribulation of Harmony, the main reason is that Shen Lian is afraid that he will not be able to control it.
Letting the power of the clone surpass one's own strength is not something a smart person would do.
He has been smart since he was young.
There is a possibility that the situation is beyond our control and we should nip it in the bud.
Single small rule, no race limit, Huang Youdao and the other two were excluded. These three people all have double big rules, it is a pity to use them as pioneers of Hedao.
In addition, given the three people's current realm, it is not realistic to achieve the state of harmony in the short term.
It is best to find someone who has reached the perfection of Lianxu, and whose strength is as good as that of Huang Youdao and his two former companions. It doesn't matter if his strength is slightly lower, and it doesn't matter if he can't beat people of the same level. As long as he can defeat Lianxu after advancing to Hedao, that will be enough.
There are only a few Taoist monks in the Juntian Realm, which is equivalent to the invincible Lianxu Realm when rounded off.
If you don't care about the upper limit, then the lower limit will be happy.
"Fortunately, my Hunyuan magic power is already on par with Hedao, so I can still do a small rule Hedao to test the waters."
In the void sea of stars, Shen Lian's spirit boat was suspended in the void, and his five clones scattered outside had all started to move.
He began to look for suitable demon creatures with the attributes of gold, wood, water and earth for him. Mainly because Xiao Feng was a demon, he would take the demon clan as the base.
Huang Youdao is now in the Mingyuan land, Wangshu is in Taoshan, and You Shifang is in Chongshan. The places where the three are located are all remote places in Shangjuntian Realm.
Although the place is remote, as an envoy of the Immortal Palace, you are far away from home and have a lot of freedom.
"More than a thousand years have passed, and there has been no news from Yunxiao. Could it be that he really encountered a disaster?"
Contacting his clone to find a suitable demon creature reminded Shen Lian of the agreement he made with Yunxiao more than a thousand years ago.
The time limit has expired and Huang Youdao and the other two have not received any news from Haotian Realm.
However, the business between Juntian Pavilion and Lingmu Immortal Palace is still proceeding normally. Pei Tianlan, who is closest to Yunxiao, has not received any news, so it is difficult to judge whether there is a problem.
It is very normal for monks to retreat for one or two thousand years. Perhaps it was delayed by the retreat.
"You can't sit idle either. You must comprehend the power of rules. I still have six rules that have not yet reached the third level. Please work hard to make my combat power even stronger after a thousand years."
The rules of space, wind and thunder were given to Mixuzi, the rules of gravity were given to Huang Youdao, the rules of life and death were given to You Shifang, and the rules of reincarnation were given to Wangshu.
As a preparation, Shen Lian meditated on the Five Elements and the Way of Soul.
By the way, Shen Lian stuffed the space crystal containing the Void Spirit Silver Bug Clan back to Mi Xuzi.
In order to comprehend the rules of space, he needs the protection of Mixuzi.
As for the little animal in the belly, a portion of the magic power was also transferred to keep it alive, and it would be taken back when it was able to be born.
How could the great Master Shen be a wet nurse?
"We still need to add a few more clones to try to specialize in the Dao and participate in the battle."
After wandering in the void star sea for more than half a month, Shen Lian finally obtained some useful information from Wanxiang Shanlin Huayuan.
It has to be said that the Foreign Affairs Hall of Wanxiang Mountain is really doing practical work. They are searching for the original spiritual objects all over Juntian Realm. There are more than a thousand areas in Juntian, including the Void Star Sea, and there are traces of monks from the Foreign Affairs Hall of Wanxiang Mountain everywhere.
So that I have some in-depth understanding of the creatures and information in various regions.
Originally, Shen Lian was thinking of visiting the various demon tribes' settlements, taking the opportunity to secretly capture a few demon beasts, or looking for any large immortal city along the way that had demon beasts for sale and buying some along the way.
I didn't expect that in the void starry sea, there is such a black market for selling living creatures.
The black markets in the fairy world are all opened in the void star sea, with the main purpose of making it easy to escape and difficult to be caught.
"Survival Black Market, what a crappy name."
Through Lin Huayuan, Shen Lian learned the location of this black market. It was more than four years away from him, so it was not far.
It is said that in this black market, any tribe you want can be yours, and as long as you are willing to pay spirit stones, even the direct descendants of a first-rate sect can be kidnapped for you.
Of course, having said that, there has been no news of any direct descendant of a first-rate sect being kidnapped and sold on the black market for survival. Bragging is bragging, and business is business, and the bottom line of the black market for survival is quite flexible.
“It’s a good place.”
After some understanding, Shen Lian felt that this survival black market was a good place. It saved him the worry of catching his clone, and he could pick and choose, and maybe even choose a few more monks with whom he had deep hatred.
Thinking about Ji Wuxian and Lin Huayuan, what he would like to do most is to do things that are mutually agreeable and heartfelt.
Give me your heart, I will help you fulfill your last wish and take revenge, and we will be fine and neither of us will bear a grudge against each other.
"My fellow Taoists who are suffering in the black market, when Shen comes, the blue sky will come."
For a moment, Shen Lian felt more and more that it was necessary to help the creatures in the black market.
"Why didn't I find such a great place earlier?"
On the way, he felt a little regretful, but then he realized that it was useless to realize it earlier. With his character, it was impossible for him to go to the black market without certainty, especially the black market that sold living creatures.
A place for selling living beings in the void starry sea. If you do well, you go there to buy slaves. If you do not do well, you just arrange a seat for yourself.
…
Rumble! In the vast sea of stars, a hazy black sand whirlwind swept past, and a stream of light suddenly crashed out in the whirlwind, turning into a phantom of a middle-aged monk, opening his mouth and spitting out black gravel.
"I am a dignified quasi-Hedao monk, but I still have to run errands myself. This is really enough."
After spitting out the sand in his mouth, Shen Lian was very depressed. This time, he ran into a sandstorm while rushing on the road. With his current strength, it took him a lot of effort to get out.
Among the several clones, Mi Xuzi was in solitary confinement, Lin Huayuan was promoted and was preparing to challenge the position of true disciple, and Huang Youdao and the other two were more comfortable.
After all the counting, he is the most tired one.
At present, he is not far from the survival black market, and he can see streams of light passing back and forth in the void around him.
Everyone's goal is the same.
…
In the void sea of stars, a group of strange and rugged black rocks stand like mountains.
At the edge of the black stone, there were some broken bones floating around, large and small, from all races.
At the top of the black stone, a whirlpool was slowly rotating, and the monks coming and going were going in and out of this whirlpool.
"Hey, what a powerful formation, it's not far from the seventh level."
In the void outside the black market, Shen Lian, who had transformed into an old woman, stopped and looked at the area shrouded in black mist.
He could tell at a glance that the black market in front of him was opened up in an independent space domain, and there was a quasi-seventh-level formation guarding outside.
No wonder he dares to do this business, it seems he is very confident.
"There are some flaws in the Zhen and Li positions. If there is danger, it won't be a problem to break the formation in these two positions. Should we try to take over this formation temporarily?"
"...I am also doing this for the Black Market Lord's own good...to prevent him from making a mistake."
There was a bright purple light in the sea of divine consciousness, and the natal talisman array slowly rotated. Shen Lian rolled up a cloud of black gas and rushed towards the vortex cave entrance. It was too rare and common for a woman to dress up as a man, so he chose to dress up as an old woman, and an ugly but beautiful one at that.
After entering the black market, what comes into view is a row of square-like houses, neatly arranged in horizontal and vertical directions.
From the edges to the middle area, the aura in the houses becomes stronger the closer they are to the inside, and the strength of the imprisoned monks becomes stronger.
Shen Lian looked around and found that all the cultivators who came here were similar to him. Some carried magic weapons to conceal their breath and faces, while others used the art of disguise.
He also sensed a hazy wave sweeping over him, which quickly disappeared without a trace.
After the wave swept past, a stream of light came closer and turned into a figure without legs crawling over, with a flattering look on his face.
"Senior, I'm just a dog."
“It’s a nice name.”
"Thank you for the compliment, woof woof...woof woof woof..."
"Ha ha……"
Shen Lian burst into laughter, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed like chrysanthemums.
"I just finished my retreat. Find me some strong men."
"Understood. Senior, please follow me. A group of top-quality humans have just arrived. They are all strong and sturdy."
"What's so good about the human race? They are not positive at all."
Goupa turned his head slightly and asked, "What race do you want, senior?"
"The demon race."
"Give me a combination of gold, wood, water, fire and earth."
Shen Lian spoke while looking around.
"Senior, this is the Fushan Ape Clan from Tianyuan Mountain. You see, this one is very positive and optimistic."
Gou Pa led Shen Lian to the middle area of the city. The black house here held all fifth-level creatures. The strong smell of blood and resentment rolled under his feet, even covering his feet.
This scene made Shen Lian feel even more satisfied.
It's good to have resentment, because this way he can help living beings eliminate resentment and fulfill their wishes.
Shen Lian glanced inside through the window of the black room.
A demon ape, which was about three meters in size and should have had earth-yellow hair, was nailed to a stone pillar by nails that were flashing with blood on its shoulders and limbs. It was extremely weak.
When he saw someone looking in, he bared his fangs and let out an angry roar.
After taking a look, Shen Lian felt that this demon ape was no good. Not to mention that its strength was too weak, its eyes were full of brutality and anger, and it did not have the will to die. It would not be easy to take away its natal mark.
Seeing that Shen Lian didn't speak, Goupa flew forward again, "Senior, the bloodthirsty devil vine from the Ten Thousand Demon Cemetery."
In the dark room, there was a monster that looked like a bloody octopus clinging to the wall, with eyes all over its body.
This doesn’t work either.
"Senior, there is more ahead."
Gou Pa didn't say much. He stared at the changes on Shen Lian's face and spoke accurately to lead the way forward.
"Senior, the mutated bloodline of the Zhilang Demon Realm, the Purple Flame Yang Marten."
"The Sky Fire Bird of the Ten Thousand Demon Cemetery."
"The Iron-backed Green Bull from Qianfa Demon Mountain."
…
"Senior, this slippery, cloud-mist-swamp skylight eel is loved by many female fairies like you."
"How dare you sell these goods?"
Shen Lian spoke indifferently, seeming very dissatisfied. As he spoke he glanced at the void in the distance.
The dog crawled in silence, lowered its head and prostrated itself at the feet.
"You should leave now."
At this time, a voice sounded, and Goupa felt as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed to Shen Lian again and then quickly crawled away.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so proficient in Taoism that you can actually find my hiding place."
In a flash of spiritual light, a dark gray vortex like thick fog rolled up and transformed into a gecko hanging in the air.
The gecko's body was covered with black dots, and there seemed to be a ferocious resentment struggling in each dot. Its aura had reached the late sixth level.
"I am Bifu, an elder of the Survival Black Market. May I ask for your honorific title?"
"Strange Mountain."
Shen Lian made up a name at random.
The gecko swallowed his tongue and didn't care. He said, "Daoyou, do you need a high-level monster with five elements attributes?"
When he spoke, Wallbat didn't care at all that he was also a demon, and confirmed it very directly.
"That's right. As long as the quality is good and I like it, spirit stones won't be a problem."
Shen Lian nodded in response. This place was filled with so much resentment that it was a natural point for obtaining clones.
"Hey, if you have the spirit stone, you are my distinguished guest in the black market for survival. Please follow me."
The bulge on the wall bat's body spewed out streams of black resentment, and a vortex rolled up around it. Shen Lian saw the void above him twisting.
What a treacherous method, using resentment as a guide, could it be that the person behind this black market is taking an unorthodox approach and practicing a crooked way? As resentment continued to sink into the distortion, a gray vortex passage appeared in front of him.
"Fellow Daoist Qishan, please."
The wall bat took a step forward and entered the vortex channel first.
"A small cave space based on space objects and combined with formations."
After a quick scan with his divine sense, Shen Lian understood everything and immediately plunged into the vortex.
If he didn't have the confidence to compete with others, he really wouldn't have come to this shabby place.
It won’t work if it’s a clone, unless it’s Mi Xuzi. If it’s any other clone, there’s a chance that they won’t be able to get out.
"The resentment is so strong, how many lives have been killed?"
The vortex channel was like a huge chimney emitting billowing smoke, but the thick smoke was filled with resentment, and there was a whistling sound in the ears, and one could also hear crying and wailing.
Even if he was gathering his clones, he would try to choose those who were willing, just to avoid possible troubles in the future. Now it is very likely that he encountered a cultivator who did the opposite.
He walked through the passage without changing his expression, and while the wall bat was leading the way, he was also observing the changes in Shen Lian's expression.
This passage is filled with murderous intent, which will erupt at the slightest abnormality.
It is said that if you walk on the road at night too often, you will always encounter ghosts. As the largest black market for the sale of living creatures in Juntian Realm, they have too many enemies.
The creatures in the black market come from various sources and their strengths vary.
"Fellow Daoist Qishan, what do you think of this giant monster?"
When they reached the end of the passage, Wall Bat chanted a spell, and the gray mist rolled up, revealing a cage similar to a bird's nest hanging in a thick fog.
Shen Lian used his spiritual sense to sense the passage and combined it with his inheritance. He had already deduced the direction of the passage. It was similar to a big tree. The passage was the branch and the hanging cage was the fruit grown on the top of the branch.
Tiny runes wriggle on the bird's nest-like cage, interweaving with the spiritual forbidden cycles hidden in the passage, forming an ever-changing whole.
In this case, attacking the cage is actually attacking the entire formation.
Inside the cage was a dark-colored dragon with two horns as blue as jade.
But its body was covered with scars so deep that the bones could be seen. Blood formed a small pool inside the cage, soaking the dragon in it.
"A sixth-order mid-stage Sea-Swallowing Dragon, with a trace of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon's bloodline."
Shen Lian frowned, "This injury is a bit serious."
"Fellow Daoist, if the injury is not serious, we can't lock it up."
The wall bat chuckled strangely, "Don't look at the seriousness of your injuries now, as long as you go back and recuperate, I guarantee that you will be happy."
As he spoke, a thread of energy floated from the wall bat's body, penetrated the cage and hit the Sea-Swallowing Dragon. The energy landed on the wound on the dragon's body, splashing blood.
But the sea-swallowing dragon twitched, and didn't even raise its drooping eyes.
Seeing this, the wall bat rolled up an even greater energy and smashed it directly towards the forehead of the Sea-Swallowing Dragon.
The Sea-Swallowing Dragon let the energy explode on its head and its eyelids moved, looking lifeless.
"What have you done to it? How did it become like this? What else can it do in this state except being a puppet?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. He was very satisfied with the Sea-Swallowing Dragon in this state. It was lifeless and seemed to be seeking death.
"Nothing. It was naughty when I caught it, and the other female Yunshan Jiao that was pregnant with a fetus that it was married to exploded."
Bifu said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, we have a complete slave mark. You don't have to worry about backlash after you buy it. You can kill its soul with just a thought."
"Good fellows, you really deserve to die."
Looking at the gecko in front of him, Shen Lian cursed in his heart.
My wife and children committed suicide, and there is no hope for revenge. I am really heartbroken.
Demons are also living beings, especially those who have awakened their spiritual intelligence. The higher their realm, the closer their emotions are to those of humans.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed with colorful light, and he began to carefully look at the sea-swallowing dragon in the cage.
The injuries were indeed severe. The keel in the tail wing was broken, his internal organs were displaced, and his body was shrouded in a layer of black energy.
"How much?"
After checking it, he asked about the price.
"Daoyou, don't you still want to gather the five elements?"
The bat hesitated and said, "Let's take a look at the goods at the back first."
"I am just worried."
Shen Lian smiled strangely on his old face.
When all my clones become righteous, I will come and clean up this black market of yours.
…
"Four mid-level sixth-order beasts, one late-level sixth-order beast, all for a price of 12 million top-grade spirit stones. For other spirit beasts of the same level, the price will be reduced by 20% here."
Half a day later, outside the cage of the last late-stage sixth-order mountain-repelling turtle, Wall Bat quoted a price.
"No discount?"
The bat shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, aren't we doing this business just to get resources quickly? We are all exchanging our lives for it."
Shen Lian didn't say much. He had a lot of things in his pocket, so this was a good opportunity to make a move. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, plus a bunch of magic treasures and spiritual treasures with different auras flew out.
The original spirituality of these spiritual treasures has been washed away, ensuring that no one can find relevant information from the spirit of the weapon.
Bifu counted the spiritual treasures one by one, priced them, and had an argument with Shen Lian to confirm the prices of the spiritual objects. It took more than half a day to finish the calculation.
Shen Lian obtained the control mark and cage unique to the black market, and put the five monsters with five element attributes into the storage bracelet.
"Fellow Daoist, the spiritual defenses on these cages can only last for three months. I hope you will remember this."
A big deal was made, and there was a few monsters that could not be sold on the black market. It was very likely that they would be sold at a loss. The wall bat was in a very good mood and sent Shen Lian out of the black market from a distance.
These deathly-looking monsters can only be made into puppets and refined corpses, but there are not many puppeteers of the upper-middle sixth rank. As for the refining of corpses, most of them are done by magic cultivators.
Are you kidding? Do you think the demon cultivators will come and spend money to buy it?
The fellow Taoists who practice magic cultivation are mainly unable to produce any hair, and they just do it by hand.
The magic cultivators have to spend money to sell living beings to refine corpses. Looking around the magic cultivator world, they are laughed at to death.
…
After returning to the black market, Bifu looked at the magic treasures and spiritual treasures he had just received. He picked them up one by one and checked them again. There was no problem with the quality, except that the spirituality was gone and the aura had also been baptized, making it impossible to find anything wrong.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Qishan is not an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refining Realm... that's all..."
…
After leaving the survival black market, Shen Lian withdrew the aura left on the black market formation, quickly fled to a far place, and began to check again.
After an inspection, he burned the cages given by the black market to ashes, and knocked the monsters unconscious and put them into his personal small world.
"The black market for survival is a great place."
All at once, five monsters with five element attributes were gathered together, leaving Xiao Feng free, which was a pleasant surprise.
It's not that I don't want to buy higher grade ones, but I don't have them.
Creatures in the late sixth stage are already top-notch goods sold on the black market, and there are not many of them, otherwise Shen Lian would not have purchased only one.
In order to complete the five elements cycle, it is best if the realms of the five elements creatures are similar, so that the formed cycle is stable.
This golden-winged bird, which is in the late sixth stage, is at a newly advanced level and will not have much impact on the five elements cycle.
"With five more foodies, it looks like Fu Guangzong will definitely win."
Thinking about the Shen Lian case.
After these five monsters are transformed into clones, the number of his clones will exceed ten. Mi Xuzi and Lin Huayuan have the Hedao Sect and are not short of anything, but he also needs to practice.
It would be better to get control of Fuguangzong, the distribution center of Juntian Realm spiritual medicine.
Helping Guangzong to give birth to a Hedao, and helping Guangzong to provide him with spiritual medicine resources, it is reasonable to help each other.
After collecting the purchased monsters, Shen Lian was about to leave when his magic power suddenly surged again. His aura changed into that of a middle-aged monk. His robes were changed into those of a scholar, and he wore a scarf on his head.
"Let's go see if there are any cultivators who have achieved the Great Perfection of Refining Void that can sell it."
After staying outside for more than half a year, Shen Lian flew towards the survival black market again.
When he arrived at the entrance of the black market, his natal talisman array disk started to rotate slowly again, sensing the mystery of the black market array before entering the black market.
"Senior, long live the Lord."
After entering the door, the same fluctuation flashed by, and then a charming figure like a water snake quickly crawled at his feet, with his hands on his legs.
"Your servant Zhuzhu is willing to serve you, senior."
"I'm here to find a suitable puppet body."
This time, Shen Lian disguised himself as a puppeteer.
It is completely different from the old woman with a chrysanthemum face before.
In fact, he has now figured out the operation of most of the formations here, and it is feasible for him to forcibly take a peek at the whole picture, but that will inevitably alert the monks behind the scenes.
It's just a matter of spending a few spirit stones, why alert the enemy?
I'll come back to discuss it when I get to Hedao in the future.
When the time comes, the clone will come to take revenge for grievances and revenge, which will be justified and natural.
"The puppet embryo I want is not an ordinary one. It is best to be a perfect living being."
Zhuzhu smiled apologetically, "Senior, you have great magical powers, so naturally you look down on these ordinary people. I will report this to the elders right away."
"Then go and tell the person who can make the decision."
"Zhuzhu, step back."
The sound of waking up was heard, and after the resentment rolled up, the appearance of a wall bat was revealed.
"Fellow Daoist, please come in. I am Bifu, and I am an elder of the black market. May I know your name?"
"Zhou Yun."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to buy a living being at the level of Perfect Refining Void to use as a puppet?"
"Yes, my puppetry skills have improved. I heard that Wanling was sold on the black market for survival, so I traveled hundreds of years to come and take a look."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, how could a senior who has reached the Perfection of Void Refining end up like this? The outside world is just spreading rumors."
"No?"
Shen Lian frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is no one who has reached the Perfect Refining Void stage, but I still have a few people in the late Refining Void stage in the black market."
"I want to be in the late stage of Refining Void, why should I come to you to buy it? Daoist friend, I have come from afar, and my name in the black market for survival has spread throughout Juntian. Daoist friend, please be flexible."
"I'll pay 30% more for the price."
Wall Bat pondered for a moment, and then a gray resentful aura rolled up, forming an airtight isolation area between the two of them.
"Fellow Daoist, you are so sincere. It is not impossible to be flexible. I have an uncle from the same clan..."
