He is truly a pure and filial monk.

The wall bat stuck out its tongue and licked its own feet, the resentful energy around it bursting out with a low roar, and it didn't care about the strange looks brought by its previous words.

"Fellow Daoist, come with me. If I don't let you examine my uncle, I think you won't feel at ease."

The wall bat crawled quickly with its four legs dangling in the air, walked into a house in a remote area of ​​the black market, and swung its tail to hit the wall.

Spiritual forbidden runes appeared on the wall in an instant, forming a vortex-shaped passage.

"please."

After the vortex channel opened, the wall bat tilted its head to look at Shen Lian, and entered it first. "

The space derived from the wall is not connected to the overall formation of the black market. It is an independent small cave world.

Shen Lian took a quick look with his spiritual mind and followed.

To be honest, this black market cannot keep him. After practicing for tens of thousands of years, at this moment and in this place, Shen Lian's self-confidence is terrifying... By the way, places outside the black market are not included for the time being.

His current confidence is limited to this black market, and the ones outside have not been taken down yet.

“…”

After entering the cave, Shen Lian was speechless.

Inside the thousand-foot-wide cave, white banners were hung everywhere, and the ground was covered with cut paper money.

There were bronze men and bronze beasts standing around, flashing a faint spiritual power that turned into wind, just enough to blow the paper money inside up and down, like snowflakes all over the sky, falling into the blazing brazier.

"My uncle has no hope of achieving enlightenment in this life. As a junior, I can only show my filial piety in advance so that he can have enough money to bribe ghost messengers after he enters reincarnation, and strive to win in the womb in the next life."

Ghost messengers are just legends in the mortal world, but what Wall Bat did really surprised Shen Lian.

This is truly a filial piety that moves heaven and earth, and reaches the realm of reincarnation and the underworld.

In the middle of the cave is a bronze temple, covered with dense runes, and there are blood-colored spiritual restrictions like swimming snakes that are led out from the ground, tightly wrapping the bronze temple.

The wall bat ran exaggeratedly on all four legs to the outside of the bronze palace, knocked the bronze door open with its head, and pondered silently in its heart.

"Uncle Lin, it was this puppeteer named Zhou who wanted to refine you. You should look carefully. Every grievance has its perpetrator. If you have any grudges, you must not blame me."

After some silent contemplation, Wall Bat turned his head and looked at Shen Lian.

"Please come in, fellow Taoist."

Inside the bronze hall with the door opened, he saw an old human cultivator lying there, looking shriveled and skinny. Although he wasn't yet to the point of dying, it was obvious that he was about to grow hair.

The vitality in the body is as thin as a gossamer. Even if this thing is refined into a puppet, the probability of falling down in rank is very high.

Shen Lian came to purchase a cultivator who had achieved the perfection of Lianxu, not to be his puppet. He even had a seventh-level Hedao physical body, so what was the point of achieving the perfection of Lianxu?

Hey, hey, hey, that's not right. This little reptile deceived him.

“You, this…”

After taking another look at the human cultivators who were under restriction in the hall, Shen Lian looked at the wall bats again.

How did the gecko become a human uncle?

He even said in a very serious manner that they were of the same race.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are a puppeteer, but you are obsessed with appearances. As cultivators of our generation, we have reached our current level, so how can we care about a body? As long as our hearts are together, we are of the same race."

“…”

Wall-bat stepped into the bronze palace without looking embarrassed at all.

"Fellow Daoist Lin has already agreed to join our Qiuwen Yanlong Clan. Our clan's jade butterfly has already recorded Fellow Daoist Lin's name, but we just didn't have time to hold the recognition ceremony."

The wall bat opened its mouth and spit out a small jade book, then told Shen Lian the story in a serious tone.

For a moment, even though Shen Lian boasted of his wide knowledge, he couldn't help but feel as if ten thousand fairy beasts, alpacas, were rumbling through his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

How could there be such shameless creatures in the world?

"Fellow Daoist, please check the goods."

Hearing the voice, Shen Lian took another look at Yudie and walked towards the shriveled monk lying there.

In fact, there is no need to look at it too much, this practice cannot be used to achieve harmony with the Tao.

The Hedao Heavenly Tribulation is already difficult, and it would only be a waste of time if it were in this mess.

The appearance of this type of Lianxu Wan in the black market for survival is reasonable if you think about it carefully. As a top cultivator in the Juntian Realm, it is already a great strength for him to be able to catch it in the black market.

"Why, fellow Daoist, you don't like it."

Looking at Shen Lian's actions, Bifurt spoke up, saying that its uncle was indeed not in good condition.

But then again, it is extremely difficult to catch a peak-level Void-Refining cultivator except by chance.

"Fellow Daoist Bifu, my puppetry skills have just advanced. I came all the way here just to select a suitable living being to try to make a sixth-order perfect puppet. However, the health of your uncle is too poor. There is a 70% to 80% chance that he will drop in rank in my hands."

After a cultivator who has reached the Perfect stage of Refining Void has gone through a period of sacrifice and training, he will become a cultivator in the late stage of Refining Void, which is a huge waste of money.

"Let me take another look."

Shen Lian spoke, then stretched out his hand and grabbed the shriveled monk's body. The monk's soul was in a sealed state. He must have been affected by some secret technique, causing his soul to fall into a coma.

He did not sense much resentment in his spiritual thoughts, and the gap between him and the target he needed was as big as a celestial being.

When he raised his hand, Shen Lian grabbed the cultivator's body, and a broken golden magic weapon fragment appeared in his hand, the quality of which reached the sixth-grade top grade.

"Excuse me, fellow Daoist. This was left by the last uncle."

Wall Bat glanced at the fragment of the magic treasure that had a different aura from the one on the stage, and explained calmly.

"The Daoist clan is so prosperous, it's enviable."

Shen Lian hesitated and said, "Fellow Daoist Bifu, is there any other uncle you can introduce to me? This uncle is in very poor health. I am trying to buy him at a premium. If I fail, I will lose a lot."

After hearing this, Bifu looked a little thoughtful. It is really difficult to deal with a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Lianxu.

"Fellow Daoist, please take care of me. It doesn't matter if the injury is serious, but it would be best if I could live a younger life and not die. It would be best if I could have a trace of immortality."

Shen Lian continued to speak, and casually threw out a string of top-grade spirit stones. The wall bat opened its mouth like flowing clouds and water and swallowed the spirit stones into its stomach.

Less than half a breath passed after the flash of inspiration came to them, and the eyes of the man and the demon met again.

Shen Lian gritted his teeth and groaned, "Fellow Daoist, please be more flexible. We can add more money for the tea."

"Thirty thousand."

"Eighty thousand."

"One hundred thousand."

The fluctuations in Bifu's expression finally changed. He sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, where can we find cultivators who have reached the Perfection of Void Refining? They are all brought in from outside. If you think they are too expensive, I think they are too expensive too."

"Besides, if you are not dead yet, it will be even more difficult to deal with."

It did not doubt whether Shen Lian could come up with spiritual objects of corresponding value. Craftsmen are the most sought-after in the world of cultivating immortals.

The puppeteer is especially the one that you must not mess with. Who knows how many puppets he has on him? If he kills a few of them on the spot, you won’t be able to run away.

According to legend, there was a puppeteer at the Hedao realm who appeared in the fairy world. He carried with him hundreds of top-level Lianxu puppets. He alone was a puppet army.

In Juntian Realm, there are also rumors that a puppeteer in the early stage of the Refinement Realm can command hundreds of puppets to resist cultivators in the late stage of the Refinement Realm.

A puppeteer in the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, who knows how many puppets this Daoist Zhou has? "Speaking of which, I do have another uncle, but he and I are not very close. As for the other Daoist, I can only ask Daoist Zhou... I am not greedy for Daoist Zhou's spiritual stones, but I will use Daoist Zhou's spiritual stones to do Daoist Zhou's business. As for whether it succeeds or not, the expenses will not be refunded."

"Thank you."

Shen Lian cupped his hands. There was no problem with spending spirit stones. As long as he could get things done, he didn't mind spending some spirit stones.

After a moment, the wall bat closed his mouth that was gleaming with wisdom. "Fellow Daoist, you are straightforward. You can stay in my black market for a month or two. I will help you contact others as soon as possible."

"Then I am sorry to bother you."

…

"Friend Mi, I have a friend."

In an independent space in the black market filled with gray resentment, a stone mirror was suspended in front of the wall bat. Inside the mirror was a strong smell of blood demons, with black spots the size of rice grains emerging from time to time, but no specific figure was revealed at all.

"Little Gecko, just speak frankly. How much benefit did you get?"

Bifu didn't care about the voice in the mirror addressing him. "It's only 100,000 spirit stones for tea. When the deal is done, Daoist Brother Mi can just give me the same amount of spirit stones. We won't break the rules."

"He is suspected to be a sixth-rank high-quality puppeteer. He needs a living being at the level of Perfect Refinement to practice with. Tsk... Do you think a cultivator at the level of Perfect Refinement is a weed on the roadside? I do have one, but I'm afraid he can't produce the spiritual object I want."

Amid the bloody aura, two white eyes appeared.

"I'm different from you black market people. I don't want any junk. I want spiritual objects and spiritual crystals. Can he give them to me?"

Bifu pondered for a moment, "Friend Mi, looking at the Immortal Spirit World, the only person richer than the Puppet Master is the Alchemist. Since you dare to come to the black market to seek a Void Perfection cultivator, how could you not have something to keep you safe?"

The eyes in the stone mirror showed a look of scrutiny, and said with a strange smile: "A cultivator with something weighing him down, you still think of me?"

Bifu said seriously, "Friend Mi, we are a legitimate black market that sells living creatures, not a black-hearted merchant who takes advantage of all buyers."

"Really? How come the great elder of Liuming Sect a hundred years ago is gone?"

"Eighty years ago, those who wandered in the sea of ​​stars..."

"Friend Mi, those were all accidents. You are slandering me. It is slander."

Bifu immediately retorted, “Friend Mi, even if you are the ancestor of the Tianxiang Sect, you cannot slander me for surviving in the black market without reason.

If the owner of my black market hears this, he will come to ask for justice. Fellow Daoist Mi, you don’t want your Tianxiang Sect to hide in the Tianxiang Cave again, do you? "

"What a surprise."

Fellow Daoist Mi revealed a mocking expression, "Then tell this fellow Daoist Zhou that I don't want ordinary spiritual objects, but the corpse of a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void. If he has the guts, he can come to Tianxiang Sect to find me."

"Friend Mi, you are not planning to ship the goods. Do you think Friend Zhou will go to your old nest, the Tianxiang Sect?"

"Then let's go to the Shenyuan Black Market. That should be fine." A voice muttered from the stone mirror, "The trust between immortals was destroyed by you creepers in the dark."

"Same here, I'm standing on you, no one should say anything about anyone else..."

…

In a house in the black market, Shen Lian slowly withdrew his senses. The little gecko thought he was hiding perfectly, but in fact he had seen everything.

Unexpectedly, the little gecko suddenly transformed into a broker, taking advantage of two businesses at once.

Tianxiang Sect, this is a sect of demonic practitioners.

He is the demon sect that is good at kidnapping and likes to kidnap a whole family, and finally put all the happy families on the shelf. He combines corpse refining, magic cultivation, and soul refining into one.

Every time he angered the public, he would hide in a space crack cave deep within the sect, and then come out to stir up trouble again after a while.

As for the Shenyuan Black Market, it is another black market more than ten galaxies away. Its main function is to provide everyone with a safe trading place. Within the black market, both parties are not allowed to rob each other. Once the transaction is violated, both parties will be killed.

It has to be said that the existence of the Shenyuan black market provides a little guarantee for the chaotic starry sea, and many cultivators like to go to Shenyuan to sell stolen goods.

Just imagine, among the cultivators who dare to wander around in the Void Star Sea, none of them are simple. They are all desperate criminals. When it comes to killing someone for his life, if you look at the cultivators in the Void Star Sea, if you kill every one of them, there will definitely be some that slip through the net, including Shen Lian.

…

More than a month passed before the wall bat reappeared in front of Shen Lian.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have accomplished my mission. After more than a month of searching, I have finally found a suitable puppet embryo for you."

Shen Lian did not expose the truth. This little gecko was only about one foot long and not handsome at all. It was a waste of his talent to be a broker.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Zhou. You also know that it's hard to deal with cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void. So his journey might be a little dangerous. He is a fellow Daoist from Tianxiang Sect. Besides, you still need to breathe. In the whole Juntian territory, only the Demon Sect has such a person."

As he spoke, he watched Shen Lian's expression change.

"But you don't have to worry. The transaction is taking place in the Shenyuan Black Market. I'm sure you have heard of Shenyuan's name. As long as you pay a portion of the spirit stones, the black market will protect you.

When the time comes, once you have achieved the Great Perfection of Refining Void, you can immediately start the ritual in the Shenyuan Black Market. Once the puppet is ready, you won’t have to be afraid of the cultivators of Tianxiang Mountain anymore.”

But Shen Lian still looked thoughtful, pondering the gains and losses.

"Fellow Daoist, what you want is a cultivator who has reached the Perfection of Refining Void. I guarantee that if you miss this time, you won't be able to get the next one for a long time. This is a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void. How many of them are there in Juntian Realm? Do I need to say more about the cost of hunting down a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void?"

Wall Bat continued to speak. He could earn hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones just by talking, so he was naturally willing to make this deal.

Shen Lian was wondering whether it would be easy for the demon cultivators to plunder his natal mark. After so many years of practice, the only normal demon cultivator he had seen was Fatty. What else did the other demon cultivators do?

If a demon cultivator senses that his life has been plundered, he will directly explode his soul.

"With the Samsara Three-Life Stone, the third reincarnation rule may take a long time, but the second reincarnation rule can be completed within three to five hundred years. As long as the soul is broken, the second reincarnation rule is enough to affect the soul."

To snatch other people’s natal marks, Shen Lian had relied mainly on others’ willingness before, but now he has the reincarnation rules to use.

As a cultivator who once derived merits from the small thousand worlds, in comparison, he was still inclined to communicate well and peacefully hand over his natal mark. Using the rules of reincarnation was the last resort.

"Fellow Daoist Bifu, this cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Refining Void is not a corpse, but a real living soul?"

After a moment, Shen Lian asked again.

"Everything meets fellow Daoist's requirements." The wall bat nodded. It knew a little about the cultivator who had reached the Perfection of Refining Void in Daoist Mi's hand. He was Daoist Mi's beloved relative, and the relationship between them was even closer than that of its cousin.

"Well, I'll go to the Shenyuan black market."

Shen Lian made a decision. He was not restricted in choosing the avatar based on the type of cultivator. Even if it was a demon cultivator, at most he could turn over a new leaf in the future. As long as he could advance to the Dao, believe it or not, he would be praised by the cultivator.

Even if you don't look at this demon cultivator, it will take some time to choose another cultivator who has reached the perfection of the Void Refinement Realm. You have to take a look at him if you meet one.

It would be nice to be an old demon and a demon cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, although this is the first time we have traded, we have hit it off right away. I can't leave the black market, so when you go to Shenyuan, you should be more cautious when facing the Tianxiang Sect."

"Thank you, Brother Bifu, for your advice."

Half a day later, in a void outside the black market, Wall Bat looked at Shen Lian who was going away, and his brown eyes narrowed.

Fellow Daoist Mi of the Tianxiang Sect is a ruthless person, but that has nothing to do with it. If the deal is successful, Fellow Daoist Mi will give it a sum of spirit stones. If the deal fails and Fellow Daoist Zhou is being robbed, it will also ask Fellow Daoist Mi for a sum of spirit stones.

Anyway, it also reminded Brother Zhou that there are no good people in the Tianxiang Sect.

In addition, it was really right about one thing. It was really difficult to deal with cultivators who had reached the great perfection of the Refining Void Realm. These old guys had complicated methods, so it was relatively easy to kill them, but it was very difficult to capture them alive.

That is to say, the demon cultivators are good at the ancestral skills, and the probability of success in dealing with the people around them is quite high.

…

Abyss black market.

This is a huge pleasure boat floating on the long black river.

The long black river under the pleasure boat was not a product of the void starry sea, but came with the pleasure boat itself. Boats have always been sailing on water, and this was the first time Shen Lian had seen a pleasure boat with its own river. It was obvious that it belonged to a wealthy family.

This void starry sea is truly filled with wonders everywhere. In normal areas, sometimes you won't encounter a Void Refining cultivator within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. But in this black market stronghold in the starry sea, all you see are Void Refining cultivators.

There is no way around it. Most of the resources of the Lianxu cultivators can only be found in Lianxu, so everyone naturally gathers together.

Shen Lian took out the jade pendant given by Bifu, sensed it, and immediately felt the connection in a pavilion on the painted boat.

At the same time, the window in the attic of the houseboat opened, revealing a young monk in a scholar's robe and a turban on his head, who nodded from a distance. The only thing that was not so nice about him was that his face was covered with spots the size of rice grains.

“Here I come.”

"I want 50% of the profits."

A mysterious wave gathered at the scholar's ears, but his expression remained calm.

"Didn't we agree on 30% to 70%? Raising the price at the last minute is not a gentleman's behavior."

The fluctuations once again condensed into a line that appeared in the scholar's perception. "I am a demon, don't talk nonsense to me, I want 60%."

"Fifty percent is fifty percent."

The scholar felt resentful in his heart, "I will replace you sooner or later."

"Oh oh, it's only been a short while and you're already throwing me away. I'm still your uncle after all."

"Behave yourself, and don't be lazy when you're doing this."

"Don't worry, he's just a puppeteer. I'll take action immediately and make sure he doesn't summon any puppets. Give me 60% this time."

"Shut up, someone is here, you better behave yourself, we'll talk after we get the spoils."

The scholar walked out of the attic slowly, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and reconnected with Shen Lian, and the two returned to the attic.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you can call me Fellow Daoist Mi. I have already paid the fees for the Shenyuan black market, which is 500,000 top-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, just rest assured."

As a place that provides security, the Shenyuan black market is relatively humane in terms of its system. It does not investigate what kind of illegal goods the cultivators on both sides of the transaction are trading. It only sets up multiple payment levels, with the lowest being a few hundred top-grade spirit stones and the highest being one million top-grade spirit stones.

The higher the value of the black goods traded, the higher the protection fee paid, and the greater the corresponding black market protection.

Monks can pay the spirit stone fee according to their own needs. It doesn’t matter if you are willing to pay the lowest price. Anyway, the houseboat will be robbed once it leaves the black market. The black market will retrieve the lost spirit objects, so don’t say that they are yours.

After all, you only paid a few hundred top-grade spirit stones, and the contraband you sold was worth millions. This is definitely not the contraband you just sold.

Anyway, this kind of thing happens every now and then.

"Friend Mi, I still need to inspect the goods first."

沈炼打量了一眼书生，一个老魔搞得和文弱书生似的，这指定是个心理变态。

气息达到了炼虚大圆满，还行，不是很强，那种在云霄界炼虚打化神的感觉又回来了。

不过，也不能冤枉人家，万一人家真的是诚心来做买卖的，他也不能滥杀无辜对不对。

“那是自然，道友请。”

米道友摸出了一枚珠子放在了沈炼面前。

一缕神念没入到了珠子内的洞天中，沈炼就感应到了浓郁血腥味道，一道道粗大的血色符文锁链，贯穿在一座石柱之间，将一道同样书生样子的修士禁锢。

此修伤势颇重，神魂气息混乱，身上还有密密麻麻的血色封禁笼罩。

一直等候了一炷香时间，看到沈炼收回了神念，米道友才开口问道：“道友，怎么样，品质上等吧。”

沈炼点了点头，确实是不错，神魂被打散大半，还带有一点点怨念残留。

“敢问米道友，这位修士的来路，米道友不要误会，在下是要炼制成傀儡的，日后万一在斗法的时候，真要碰到……”

米道友大笑，“周道友安心，这身躯来路绝对没有问题，这是本修的挚爱亲朋，教导我一路修行的亲亲师尊。”

豁……难怪穿着打扮都一样，感情这是师承。

“祖传手艺，不值一提。”

米道友毫不在意的摆手，“周道友现在安心了吧。”

这什么破风气，魔修真是一个多样化的修仙群体。

“这样周某就安心多了，道友还真是不忘本的至纯之修。”

沈炼客套的回了一句，珠子内洞天的魔修身体确实没有多大问题，只需要花费些时间和灵药就能修补回来，问题是这修士身上有点额外的东西隐藏的很深。

看样子除了祖传杀师的手艺外，魔修另外一套黑吃黑的手艺也要上场了。

“周道友，这毕竟是我的挚爱师尊，在原有的价格上得加钱。”

……

“咦，他就这样离开了，我还以为他要在沉渊坊市将之炼制成傀儡呢。”

小半日后，米道友的耳边又一次响起了声音，“桀桀，你想要借人家之手将你师尊炼成傀儡的想法落空了。”

米道友并没有回应话语，双手捧着一只黝黑朦胧的魔虫，不断的配合着咒语掐出法诀。

“这姓周一下子拿出这么多灵物，连灵晶都拿出这么多，身上绝对不止这些灵物。”

感应着的手中魔虫的变化，米道友眼中闪烁过凶光。

“那还等什么，追上去。”

“再等等，等其飞出沉渊黑市的势力范围，咱们再动手也不迟，沉渊这里可不是好惹的。”

“快点快点，你就不怕他察觉到了你藏在你师傅体内的天相幽纹？”

“那可是从无相洞窟深处采集到幽冥之气，我堂堂炼虚大圆满都要小心应对，就凭他一个炼虚后期如何能察觉到。”

大半天后，米道友才从沉渊黑市飞出去，不过却是和沈炼离开的方向相反，远远的绕了一个大圈子，方才重新掉转了方向。

……

一片璀璨的霞光之间，沈炼身影若闪电般飞越而出，他一边飞一边停，就这样走走停停了许久后，最终心中有了决断化为一道流光远遁而去。

罢了，暂且饶这个欺师灭祖的家伙一命。

眼下还不清楚，这所谓的米道友还有他这个师尊，在天相魔宗是何身份，不过炼虚圆满层次最起码也得是比较靠前内山长老，甚至有可能是宗主。

可天相魔宗在历年来被正道宗门围剿下，已经琢磨出了一系列的防围剿经验，宗门长老和宗主身份飘忽，外界根本不清楚。

甚至于米道友这个称呼，估计也是假的。

不过哪怕就是一位内山长老，身份也足够用了，给了他日后入主天相魔宗的借口。

现在杀了，一点仪式感都没有。

待进阶合道，桀桀……老魔归来，君临魔宗的场景，一定汁饱液满，情绪丰富。

老魔杀回来干掉欺师灭祖的弟子，顺势接管魔宗，妥妥莫欺老年穷的立志大戏。

一道混元法力化为火焰，滴溜溜的就没入到了沉浸中的老魔身躯上，随之尖锐刺耳的声音从身躯上响了起来，一缕缕闪烁着幽光的灵禁若蠕动的蛆虫浮现，在五色火焰中滚动。

“咦，竟然还能排斥我的混元法力，这幽光魔气有点特别啊。”

虽说一缕幽光只坚持了两个呼吸都没有坚持就被灼烧干净，可在被烧的过程中并不是被动化为灰烬，还生出了抵抗之势，这说明此气息品质挺高，只不过过于稀薄了。

“嘿，米道友，洗干净脖子，再回来的时候你可不要被吓死，把我的宗库看好了。”

沈炼朝着后方茫茫虚空望了一眼，随即化为流光一闪而逝。

不是真合道欺负炼虚没意思，他还是喜欢炼虚打化神的手感。

……

“噗。”

昏暗虚空中，一道魔光快速穿行，突然间魔光炸开，米道友的身影若一个踉跄从当空朝下栽去，好一会才稳住了身形。

同时，一道黑光从其身上卷起，化为了一团魔气卷起，将四周笼罩了起来。

“怎么啦，怎么啦！”

魔气中，米道友脸色大惊，摊开的手掌上，魔虫崩裂成了数瓣，缭绕出浓烈的阴寒、血腥之气。

“轰隆！”

刹那间，卷起的魔气炸开，露出了一个身材高挑，若二八少女的虚影，惊骇的大喊起来。

“幽纹虫死了，幽纹虫怎么会死了！”

“你炼死一头幽纹虫都要上百年才行，怎么可能一下子就死了，这可是来自天相洞窟神秘之地的虫子，身上魔气的质量以凌驾于炼虚修士。”

虚影少女叽叽喳喳了片刻，也闭上了嘴巴。

一个炼虚后期的傀儡师，怎么可能将幽纹虫弄死。

突如其来的变化，给一人一器灵干沉默了。

眼前的场景，超出了他们的预料之外，他们想过姓周的可能会到处跑，可能会动用傀儡，唯独没想到从天相洞窟内流出来的幽纹虫死了。

米道友盯着手掌中的幽纹虫，“这不可能，这不可能。”

他亲自祭炼过此虫，花费了足足一百三十年才将一个勉强给炼死，此虫外表有一重奇异的幽光，就像是一重外壳一样，可以阻挡炼虚圆满修士的法力祭炼。

“难道是合道……”

“啪！”

魔云中的少女跳起来，朝着米道友脸上就是一巴掌。

“你蠢啊，要是合道咱们早死翘翘了，我看此修一定有什么秘法，刚好克制了幽纹虫。”

被师尊留下来的灵宝器灵打了一巴掌后，米道友也收敛了自己的心神，不由得讪笑起来。

心乱了，他也真敢想。

合道……

合道修士没事搞一个残破炼虚做什么。

难不成有什么特殊癖好，喜欢体悟修士间的尔虞我诈？

这完全狗屁不通。

“别愣着了，好歹收获了一批资源，没有彻底赔本。”

“走吧。”

米道友看了一眼茫茫虚空，没有了感应后，在虚无星海找人就像是大海捞针，这次可算是彻底失去师尊了。

“师尊啊师尊，你可真是一点都不为弟子着想，难道就这么不愿意回到弟子身边吗？”

一声嗤笑随之响起，之前的魔女又跳了出来，“你最好祈祷你的师尊真的变成了傀儡，而不是反杀傀儡师归来。

到时候我可没什么，大不了被打散灵性重新蕴养出器灵，你可就惨喽，他可能会把你嚼了，抽出你的神魂当弹筋，弹你的小雀雀。”

“闭嘴，若不是你蛊惑我，我岂能行如此欺师灭祖之事。”

“咯咯……你要没有这个想法，怎么会受我蛊惑，承认了吧，你就是眼馋宗主的位置，还想继承你那几位师母和师妹。”

……

虚无星海。

又一处漂浮在虚空的乱石堆的二手洞府内，沈炼布置好了阵法守护后，盘膝坐了下来。

求生黑市不虚此行，不但搞到了五行属性的妖兽，还顺带搞回来一个神魂大残的炼虚圆满魔修。

既然分身位置那么多，自然要搞得多样化一些，各族、各修都要照顾点名额，雨露均沾一下。

随身小世界内，一座组合大阵之内，从求生黑市中带出来的五头妖族修士被关在了这里。

水属性的吞海蛟，火属性的七彩孔雀，土属性的负山鼋，金属性的金焰虎，木属性的青玄乌龙蛟。

沈炼的神念从高空投落下来，感应着五头妖兽的变化。

其实也没有什么变化，这五头妖兽从带出黑市的时候就已经转醒了，不过每一头都没有过多的动弹，一副爱咋咋的样子。

若不是被独有灵禁掌控着，估计早就来一个自爆了。

“碎！”

就在这时，一道声音炸响在阵法之中，五头妖兽顿时感觉掌控自己体内的灵禁碎了。

顿时，本来五头神色间死气绵绵，一副爱咋咋样子的妖兽，就开始调动自己身上的妖气。

“轰隆！”

可刹那间，整个阵法笼罩的千里方圆的空间内，虚空颤抖，浩瀚无匹的威压凌空倾泻下来。

The five demon monks present all fell to the ground with a thump.

In the huge formation space, a colorful giant hand suddenly appeared, each of which was as big as a mountain, covering the entire formation space.

The five demons felt that they were being suppressed to the point where they had no power to breathe, and horror appeared in their eyes, which had originally been lifeless.

"Ancestor He Dao!"

The strongest mountain turtle hid in its shell and looked up in horror.

Between the huge palms that stretched above the formation, colorful air currents swirled and a hazy figure was reflected.

Even if they tried their best to open their eyes, they could not see the figure clearly.

The vast pressure, like an endless ocean pouring down, suppressed them so much that they couldn't muster the slightest desire to resist.

Why did Patriarch Hedao buy these little monsters from the black market?

For a moment, the monsters present were filled with panic.

…

"Oh, the master finally installed a big one."

Sanqian stood on tiptoe and leaned his little head forward, as if he wanted to see clearly what was happening inside the formation.

"It's a pity that only five Taoist friends who wanted to die saw the master's elegance. It is a pity for billions of creatures in the outside world that they cannot see the master's elegance."

"No, no, I think it would be a disaster if billions of creatures from the outside world saw the master's demeanor."

Sanqian wrinkled his nose slightly and glared at the two people beside him, "What are you talking about? The master just got a few hundred million."

"Your Excellency is unrivaled in power and may live as long as the heavens. Bang, bang, bang!"

“Bang, bang, bang… God’s power is unrivaled, and the immortal bliss will last forever.”

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Below the three little ones, there was a furry little mink, with its four legs spread out, its entire belly pressed against the ground, and its head slamming towards the ground.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

"Brother Dahei, don't mind your little brother."

"My little brother is so sensible, I feel very relieved."

"That's right. To be able to follow the master, this little mink's ancestors must have been lit up for eighteen thousand generations."

…

Inside the formation.

A huge colorful magic spell was flying in the air, overwhelming the space of the formation, and the suspended hazy figure stood with his hands behind his back.

You don't need to feel constrained in your own home.

First, intimidate these little monsters with your aura, and then condescend to tell them that your last wish has been fulfilled by the ancestor Hedao. Wouldn’t they be surprised?

If he doesn't pretend now, will he go out and pretend? "It's really the Hedao Patriarch!"

Several demon cultivators looked at each other. They had never seen the He Dao, but they had seen the perfect refining of the void.

It is impossible for a cultivator at the level of Refining Void to have such a terrifying pressure. The rules are condensed into substance, and there is a momentum that can automatically shatter the demonic power in their bodies. The pressure comes from the soul and cannot be faked.

There are currently only three famous Hedao ancestors in Juntian Realm, namely the Master of Juntian Pavilion, the Master of Wanxiang Mountain, and the Master of Juntian Realm of Lingmu Fairy Palace.

I haven't heard of any other Hedao ancestors being promoted.

What does the ancestor want us to do? It is impossible for a great Hedao to play with a few monsters.

Besides, there are all kinds of monsters that can be obtained, so why bother with these ugly monsters?

“Buzz!”

Seeing that the five demons below were all frightened, Shen Lian waved his hand and shot out five streams of light that penetrated into the bodies of the five demons.

These monsters are determined to die, and some have some deep hatred.

These are not problems. Once you advance to the Hedao level, they will all be minor hatreds.

No one will hold a grudge for a lifetime. It will be settled easily when the time comes.

There was a message in the flowing light, and Shen Lian was telling them clearly.

The Hedao ancestor has taken a fancy to your natal marks, and now he has condescended to ask you to give them up. The ancestor will not take advantage of you. If you have any last words or wishes, just tell them on the spot, and the ancestor will satisfy you.

The ancestor is a sincere person who doesn't play tricks. He can swear an oath to heaven and earth that he will not fool you just because you are a beginner.

Sincere, sincere, nothing but fucking sincere.

The most pure ancestor, the most sincere Taoist.

There is no second one like him in the entire fairy world.

"Grandmaster, please have mercy on me. I am willing to offer my life mark, and only ask you to avenge my wife and children."

The Sea-Swallowing Dragon was the first to speak. Its huge body crawled on the ground, and the blood from its wounds dyed the surface red.

"Old Ancestor, please give me your love, I am willing to do so."

…

Soon, five carefully selected demon cultivators who were determined to die smoothly reached a friendly agreement with Taoist Master Shen Lian.

"I hope the Dao Zun will help me."

The five demons transformed into human forms and knelt down in the formation.

"Everyone, get up. I swear by the... Ten Thousand Dao Rules that I will fulfill your last wish. Otherwise, I will be punished by lightning."

Shen Lian originally wanted to swear on the Hedao Heavenly Tribulation, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue he realized in time that who would he be looking down upon if he sweared on the Hedao Heavenly Tribulation? The oath was upgraded to the strength of Mahayana.

He is now in the state of Hedao, so who in this small world dares to say that he is not in the state of Hedao?

"Ancestor He Dao, may you enjoy eternal happiness!"

“Bang, bang, bang!”
