Chapter 87 News about the male protagonist
On the day Nanwang set out, half of the Qingyun Sect's disciples came to see him off.
The reason why there is only half is because the Qingyun Hall cannot accommodate so many people.
All the true disciples had come, and most of the elders from each branch sect had also come. There were also many inner disciples and Nanwang’s friends, and they all came to perform the ritual for him.
Nan Wang is now considered a well-known figure in Qingyun Sect. One reason is that several true disciples look at him differently, and the other is that his communication token is indeed well made.
News in the world of immortal cultivation has always spread very quickly. If a family has a genius in alchemy or a skilled in refining weapons, it is rare that such news can be kept secret.
Nanwang's communication token is cheap and effective. It is much more practical than the expensive and difficult to use carrier birds, so it is naturally favored by many people.
I'm afraid it won't be long before the carrier bird completely disappears from the long river of history, and instead, the name of Nanwang, the father of communication tokens, will be forever engraved on every large photo stone sent by Qingyun Sect to the outer sect, and his name will be passed down through the ages.
With such achievements, even if Nanwang's cultivation is not very impressive, the disciples of the sect are willing to recognize him.
After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Nan Wang set out with a simple low-grade spiritual sword, looking very proud and confident.
His storage bag was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, sword manuals, spiritual swords and magic tools, as well as talismans he made himself.
The Guantian Sword was also lying in the storage bag. This sword was too conspicuous, and Nanwang was not going to use it unless it was necessary.
The farewell gifts that the Qingyun Sect people gave him were so many that one storage bag could not hold them all. Nan Wang took three storage bags with him before he was able to carry all the gifts.
In addition, Nanwang also prepared a fourth personal storage bag, which only contained talismans and was not placed together with other things, to prevent it from being unavailable at critical moments.
In order to avoid looking like a rich and stupid second-generation rich man in the world of immortal cultivation, Nan Wang changed into the clothes he wore when he was a menial servant as soon as he left the territory of Qingyun Sect. The clothes were gray, simple, and dirt-resistant, and were just right for traveling around.
Don’t ask me why I didn’t change in Qingyun Sect. The reason I answered is that I couldn’t resist the sincere care and love from my senior brothers and sisters.
In the words of the senior sister, the Qingyun Sect's true disciple uniform is his best defensive weapon. Anyone who dares to attack him must consider whether he can withstand the Qingyun Sect's revenge.
The eldest senior brother was even better. He arranged a one-stop service for him at Tiangong, saying that Tiangong also had a base in the Demon Sect, and asked him to follow the route of Tiangong's palace. In this way, not only would he have someone to protect him wherever he went, but he could also enjoy luxurious accommodation with hot springs, fine wine, singing and dancing performances.
Those who knew about this thought he was going there for experience, while those who didn't thought he was going on vacation.
As a modern person, Nan Wang knows that drowning a child is the same as killing him. However, these brothers and sisters who came from the cruel world of immortal cultivation are just like old fathers who have been blinded by paternal love and have no rationality at all.
Naturally, Nan Wang did not adopt any of these suggestions. After all, he had lived for two lifetimes and was fully capable of taking care of himself.
Although he changed his outer robe into work clothes, his inner clothes were all top-grade magical robes that could withstand a full-strength attack from a Jindan stage cultivator.
Simplicity comes down to simplicity, and in the end, saving your life is the most important thing.
This time when he went back to the Demon Sect, Nan Wang did not contact his contact in the Hehuan Sect.
He directly entered the Northern Region where the Demon Cult was located through the teleportation array, and asked about the latest rumors about the Demon Cult while walking. He stayed at an inn whenever he passed by, and acted like a casual cultivator who happened to pass by the Northern Region.
He is still a casual cultivator with some money.
The last time he set foot in the Northern Territory, the secret realm was about to open and his fifth junior sister was in danger. He did not dare to delay for even a minute. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and had no intention of appreciating the scenery along the way.
This time is different. Not only does he have the ability to protect himself, but he also has plenty of time to waste.
He had three goals. In order of priority, the most important one was to find a place to hone his skills in making and exorcising talismans.
The Hehuan Sect's skills mainly focus on dual cultivation, supplemented by alchemy and formation drawing. There is not much research on talisman making, and it can't help him much. Among all the sects in the demon world, the one that is best at talisman making, besides the Heavenly Demon Sect, is Mu Yuanyao's Ghost Corpse Sect.
He planned to use his senior sister's relationship to join the Demonic Sect, learn for a while, and then go to the Ghost Corpse Sect for further study.
Of course, the second study was just a convenience. The main reason for going to the Ghost Cult was to achieve his second goal - to meet Mu Yuanyao who was waiting for him to drive.
Mu Yuanyao holds his secret in his hands, a secret that he himself doesn't even know about. It's related to where he came from and where he belongs.
Even though he knew there were many dangers, he had no choice but to take this risk.
Of course, before going to the Corpse Cult, he would make adequate preparations to ensure that he would be able to escape if the situation went wrong.
If you really can't run away... just call the senior sisters over to help.
No matter how powerful Mu Yuanmo was, it was impossible for him to be killed by the true disciples of Qingyun Sect.
Although he had little confidence in himself, he was very confident in his senior sisters.
In addition to these two purposes, Nanwang's trip also had an additional purpose.
Now that I'm here, I might as well find out about the hero, Tong Yan, who has been hiding in the Demon Cult to improve his strength in the early stages of the novel.
Nanwang did not hold out much hope for this goal. If he could find out, that would be the best; if he couldn't, that didn't matter.
The book "Dragon Lord" is very interesting. It unfolds from two lines, one about the male protagonist and the other about the female protagonist. In the end, the two lines return and merge into one. While the female protagonist's line reveals the cruel truth of this world, the male protagonist is deified and ascends to heaven to save the world from danger.
The early part of the book mainly focuses on the heroine's story in the immortal gate, while the hero has very few scenes. Every time he appears, he is just picking up loopholes, and readers call him "Go Wang".
And now, for the original work, it is still in the "early stage". Except for Nanwang, no one in the world knows that the man who will unify the world of immortals and demons and become the leader of immortals and demons in the future is called Tong Yan.
Nan Wang did not hold out much hope of finding out any news about Tong Yan, but the hero in the early stage was a cunning man who lurked in various demon sects, including the Heavenly Demon Sect.
If he was lucky, maybe when he returned to the Demonic Sect, he would be able to find the bullied male protagonist among the disciples who were similar to the menial servants of the Qingyun Sect.
If he had better luck, he could gain some favor in front of the hero and become familiar with him. When the hero joins forces with Mu Yuanrong to attack Qingyun Sect, he might be able to rely on their past friendship and beg the hero to spare their lives...
Although it sounds a bit idealistic, as a human being, we should have dreams. Who knows, maybe they will come true by accident?
...That’s what Nanwang originally thought.
However, when he randomly found a way to enter the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sect, randomly found an inn to stay in, and randomly asked around, he learned from the waiter that -
Not long ago, the leader of the Demonic Cult, Demon Lord Tong Dongyang, was killed.
The man who killed Tong Dongyang was called Tong Yan.
It is said that after killing the previous leader, Tong Yan took control of the Demon Sect with lightning speed, forcing all demons to submit, and he is already the next Demon Lord, a foregone conclusion.
It is said that Tong Yan is not a human, but a half-human, half-god. Sooner or later, he will ascend to the upper realm and compete for the throne of God. However, he is not an immortal god, but a demon god. His personality changes unpredictably, and his methods are so brutal and cruel that they can stop children from crying at night.
It is said that Tong Yan hated Qingyun Sect to the core. After taking over Tianmo Sect, he immediately issued a high bounty order. The head of a Qingyun Sect inner disciple could be exchanged for 100,000 high-quality spirit stones. If it was a true disciple, it would be from a million to tens of millions...
The series of rumors made Nanwang numb.
The original plot does not exist at all.
That thing had been completely changed beyond recognition by his butterfly, and even King Gou had turned it into a conspicuous bag.
…
"Nanwang Nanwang, you said you would cook me a rabbit! Let's go buy some rabbits."
An Nuo grabbed Nan Wang's sleeve and pulled him away quickly.
Arriving in the Northern Territory, An Nuo no longer needed to maintain his bunny form.
The path of cultivating magic does not distinguish between races. Whether you are a demon or a human, you are qualified to cultivate magic. There are not so many restrictions like in the immortal sects.
Many people walking in the Northern Territory have colorful hair and eyes, and some even have horns on their heads and tails behind them.
A beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes like An Nuo is just like a pretty passerby in the Northern Territory, and generally no one would pay special attention to her.
However, although Annuo's appearance had no effect, the talismans wrapped around his body still made Nan Wang a little worried.
It is said that people in the Demon Cult are good at the art of talismans. If someone other than him could see the talismans on Annuo, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
To be on the safe side, Nan Wang wrapped An Nuo tightly, cut his bangs, and put on a thin veil. After working for a long time, he finally covered An Nuo's skin.
Nan Wang only found an inn to stay in at midnight yesterday. He was dragged out of the inn by Annuo early this morning and kept yawning as he walked along the road.
It stands to reason that those who practice Taoism have spiritual energy to protect their bodies and will not feel tired just because they sleep a little late. However, this is not the Central Plains, this is the Northern Region.
In the environment of the Northern Territory, the concentration of spiritual energy is far less than that of demonic energy. For a cultivator like Nan Wang who has only learned how to mobilize spiritual energy in the Qi Refining Stage, once the spiritual energy he can mobilize is less than the basic spiritual energy required for the operation of his Dantian, he will fall into a trance due to lack of spiritual energy.
Nan Wang casually stuffed a Qi-replenishing pill into his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth and a few seconds later, he felt refreshed.
Before he learned how to use demonic energy, he could only replenish his Dantian's thirst for spiritual energy through pills.
The good news is that he doesn't have much other stuff, but he has so many pills that he can chew them like sugar pills.
"There are rabbits for sale there, I saw them!"
Annuo found a stall selling rabbits and became immediately excited.
"Okay, okay, buy it. I'll buy it."
Nanwang walked to the shop and asked the price in a friendly manner:
"Boss, how much are the rabbits?"
The shop owner glanced at him and said:
"Three low-grade spirit stones for one, ten low-grade spirit stones for three."
Nanwang: “…”
It's ok.
