Chapter 233 The Great Demon
A few days later.
Over the valley basin where the steel fortress is located, the aura of heaven and earth began to gather in large numbers.
In the surrounding area, dark clouds billowed, and evil spirits condensed.
A strong demonic aura came from the cultivation hall, making the monsters near the Black Mist Mountains tremble with fear and retreat in all directions.
"here we go."
In a side hall, Reverend Hu Xiao and Reverend Han Yu sat facing each other, their expressions didn't fluctuate much.
"Judging from the alchemy weather, that fellow daoist's monster should be an earth-type monster with a high-grade bloodline."
Realist Hu Xiao relaxed, leaned on the big animal skin chair, and said casually.
"Realist Hanyu kept that person so secretive and mysterious, Zhou thought it was a monster with the blood of the earth."
Some time ago, the tiger demon spirit pet who failed to be attacked by the real Huxiao was also a top-grade bloodline.
Unfortunately, the luck was relatively bad, and even the fake pill failed. The Shayuan Pill has a strong medicinal effect, and the power of backlash caused the tiger demon's cultivation base to drop.
"As long as the opportunity is good, a monster with a high-grade bloodline can also hope to become a third-rank great monster."
Master Hanyu's voice was cold, and he could hear the ridicule in the other party's words.
"That fellow Taoist at least has the Shayuan Pill. Judging from his aura, his spiritual pet has a solid foundation, and it should be no problem to form a fake pill."
Hearing this, Hu Xiao's face froze, and he was in a bad mood.
Master Hanyu is deliberately exposing his scars.
The implication is that Huxiao’s spiritual pet failed because he was eager for success, and the cultivation process was counterproductive, and the foundation was insufficient.
Realist Hu Xiao grimaced, snorted coldly, and swept his consciousness towards the cultivation hall.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily:
"That fellow Taoist is so defensive against us? Question your character?"
Realist Hu Xiao discovered that in the cultivation hall, numerous restrictions were set up to isolate and investigate.
Not only that, but there is also a thick puppet holding a shield guarding the entrance of the training hall.
Judging from the material, the puppet has reached the quasi-third order.
With such protective measures, two fake alchemy teamed up to prevent the formation of alchemy.
Realist Hanyu smiled lightly and said: "Be cautious, there is no big mistake. That fellow daoist is just a way to guard against villains. Daoist Huxiao won't mind, right?"
"Of course Zhou won't mind this! It's just that the man's behavior is sneaky and he doesn't know his name. Zhou suspects that there is something wrong with his identity..." Master Hu Xiao was a little annoyed, his eyes flickering.
"My Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce guarantees this person's identity and respects his privacy. Your Chamber of Commerce has also brought unidentified monks to help his spiritual pet form a pill."
Master Hanyu disagrees.
The reason why she stays here is to monitor the real Hu Xiao, and beware of the other party's small actions, which will affect the alchemy of Xiang Zhenren's spiritual pet.
Such a situation has never happened before.
As long as there is no hard evidence, the relatively weak Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce will have nothing to do even if it suffers a hidden loss.
…
Another four or five days passed.
The breath of alchemy in the sky gradually climbed.
Hoo!
Over the sky of the training hall, a swirl-shaped khaki-colored haze cloud group, which is more than one mile in size, exudes a powerful spiritual pressure.
Moreover, the earthy yellow clouds are still expanding.
"The staying power is not small."
Realist Hu Xiao took a sip of tea, narrowing his eyes slightly.
At this time, the appearance of the unknown monster attacking the alchemy has surpassed his tiger demon pet.
As long as you are steady, it is not difficult to make fake pills.
What's more, the weather of forming alchemy is steady and progressing.
Seeing this scene, Huxiao really felt a little upset.
However, the development of the situation far exceeded the expectations of the two real people.
"Endless, still climbing?" Hu Xiao's face became more and more ugly.
On the tenth day of the ground rock mouse's retreat and impact, the earthy yellow clouds in the sky that day, after a certain point, the expansion speed increased greatly.
It didn't slow down until it climbed to a radius of two miles.
Centered on the earthy yellow cloud group, the majestic demonic aura and the coercion emanating from it faintly exceed the quasi-third-order level.
"The real pill is hopeful!"
Reverend Hanyu and Reverend Huxiao were greatly surprised.
Master Hanyu has more surprises.
If Lu Changan's monster can form a real pill, the favor he promised will be very precious.
"Could it be that the monster has something to hide, is it actually the blood of the earth, or is it supplemented by a superior alchemy spirit?"
True Huxiao feels worse than eating flies. Thinking of his spiritual pet's failure to form an alchemy, it is inevitable to feel jealous.
Reverend Hanyu's icy eyes were shining with brilliance, and he thought: "Renren Xiang's monsters have just taken the Shayuan Dan, and the momentum of the pill formation is violent but orderly, and its control is far superior to that of Reverend Huxiao's tiger demon."
It can be seen from this that Xiang Zhenren's monsters have a solid foundation and profound heritage.
This is not an effect that can be achieved by the same high-quality alchemy spirit.
After all, the common alchemy spiritual objects can only improve the quality of alchemy, and have little impact on the success or failure of alchemy.
"If the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce gets an ally at the level of a true alchemy, it will be very detrimental to the family."
Seeing the formation of alchemy in the sky, climbing steadily without any disturbance, Master Hu Xiao couldn't sit still.
He took out a jade pendant and sent a message.
Realist Hanyu also quietly sent a message to the top management of the chamber of commerce.
The birth of a Tier 3 monster is enough to startle the ancestors of the Chamber of Commerce Zhendan.
…
In the training hall.
Lu Changan sat several feet behind the rock rat, protecting him.
The ground rock mouse was three feet in length and could no longer get close to it. The berserk monster power it exuded was enough to injure an ordinary fake alchemy monk.
The terrifying demonic aura made Lu Changan, the master, feel palpitations and an unspeakable sense of depression.
If he hadn't reached the quasi-third level of body training, and his spiritual consciousness was strong, let alone protect the rock rat, he would not be able to bear it near it.
"Five Elements Soil is worthy of being a source of universal soil! In addition to serving as an alchemy spirit to increase the foundation of the earth monster, it can also improve the stability of the alchemy process!"
Lu Changan's expression was soothed and he smiled.
Stability increases, which means that the risk of alchemy is small.
In this way, the violent medicinal effect of the Shayuan Pill is actually a good thing for the rock rat, and it can maximize its effect.
Benefit from this stability.
Lu Changan's protection this time was easier than expected, and he hardly needed to do anything.
"The demonic power turns into a crystal! The quality of Chengdan is here."
Lu Chang'an noticed that the liquid monster power in the rock rat's body turned into tiny gravel-like crystals, like quicksilver, springing up like mushrooms after rain.
These tiny monster power crystals are constantly condensing in the center, and under the promotion of powerful spiritual pressure and blood force, they are constantly compressed.
A crystal yellow rudimentary inner alchemy is slowly taking shape.
Lu Changan had the experience of forming alchemy in his previous life, and he did a lot of theoretical research, so that the rock mouse used the five elements soil and the black topaz respectively at the right time.
The rudimentary inner alchemy already has the climate of a real alchemy. After smelting two alchemy spirits, the breath began to increase.
The surface of the rudimentary inner alchemy is full of five-color flames and earthy yellow halos.
"Downstream Zhendan is completely stable!"
"Close to the mid-stream true pill...beyond the mid-stream true pill...close to the upper-stream true pill!"
In Lu Changan's perception, the quality of the rudimentary inner alchemy has improved rapidly and steadily.
When it exceeds the quality of the middle-level true pill, the quality of the Chengdan of the ground rock mouse has already surpassed Lu Changan's previous life!
Lu Changan's mood was surging and excited for a long time.
Although he did not form the alchemy himself, but the spiritual pet surpassed the previous life in the alchemy, which is also a kind of alternative transcendence.
The quality of the alchemy affects the potential after the alchemy is formed, and also has a certain impact on the strength.
For example, two monks with the same aptitude and skills form alchemy.
Those in the upper reaches of Chengdan have stronger mana than those in the middle and lower reaches.
Although this gap is not particularly large, it can still overwhelm others at critical moments.
…
"This kind of alchemy phenomenon, is it possible to form an upstream true alchemy!"
In the side hall, the expressions of Reverend Hanyu and Reverend Huxiao at this time could hardly conceal their shock.
In the sky, the group of earthy clouds, with five-color halos, expanded to a radius of three or four miles.
The fluctuation of demon power from the training hall seems to have reached the level of a third-order great demon.
In addition to being jealous, Daoist Hu Xiao is more flustered.
"It's the last step of alchemy..."
Cultivators of Zhendan or Tier 3 great monsters are already the deterrent force of all major forces in the world of cultivating immortals in Jingguo.
Even more terrifying.
That unknown monster is very likely to become the true pill in the upper reaches.
This means that in the future, there will be a relatively high probability of being promoted to the late stage of Tier 3, which is comparable to the human alchemy late stage overhaul.
Even, compared to the fourth-order demon king of Nascent Soul True Monarch, there is a ray of possibility.
This is the advantage of achieving upstream true pills.
If it is the real pill in the middle and lower reaches, the door to ask for the Yuanying Zhenjun is basically blocked.
"What should I do? That **** of Daoist Hanyu is staring at me, plus the mysterious fake Daoist Dan who protects the law, a quasi-third-order puppet..."
Real Hu Xiao was quite powerless.
One against three, even though he thought he was strong, he had no chance of winning.
This secret base located in the Black Mist Mountains, the two major chambers of commerce took turns to send a fake Dan Daoist to guard it, including several foundation builders.
Realist Hanyu watched him, and it was not easy to do some small tricks.
The real Huxiao doesn't want to take risks, the success rate is too low.
However, the ancestor of the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce sent a message just now, asking him to find an opportunity to destroy the knot, even if he would tear himself apart from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Roar!
In the depths of the Black Mist Mountains, a terrifying beast roar came, interrupting the train of thought of Huxiao.
"Third-rank monster! Could it be that he was attracted by the amazing alchemy?"
Real Hu Xiao felt the breath of the third-order monster from far to near, and was overjoyed.
Although this secret base is managed by two major chambers of commerce, it is located in the Black Mist Mountains after all.
Such an astonishing aura of alchemy can be sensed by a third-order monster hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
"A big demon in the middle stage of the third order?"
In the training hall, Lu Changan frowned with a solemn expression.
This place of spiritual veins is guarded by fake alchemy real people, and with the third-tier formation, it is actually not afraid of the attack of ordinary third-tier monsters.
At least, enough to support until reinforcements arrive.
However, the ground rock mouse is forming an alchemy, and it is also the upper reaches of the real alchemy weather, drawing a large amount of heaven and earth aura, which significantly weakens the power of the third-order large formation.
…
Roar!
A huge Tier 3 bear monster slowed down after approaching the valley where the Iron Fortress was located.
The demon bears are five or six miles away, spying from afar.
Maybe out of some kind of fear, I don't know the reality, so I haven't made any further moves for the time being.
"The power of the third-tier large formation has been weakened by more than half. Once the bear demon launches an attack, the consequences will be disastrous."
Realist Hu Xiao had a dignified expression, took out an array flag, and walked out of the side hall.
"what are you up to?"
Master Hanyu let out a loud chirp and blocked his way.
"Naturally, it is to strengthen the third-tier formation? Could it be that waiting for the bear demon to attack me is equivalent to death."
True Hu Xiao said righteously and strictly.
He's not exactly putting on a pose.
Facing the prying eyes of the big monster in the middle of the third stage, I really panicked, thinking about my own life.
"This..." Master Hanyu also hesitated.
Huxiao real person strengthens the third-order large formation, and he must extract aura, which will lead to insufficient spiritual pressure for the ground rock mouse to form pills.
"Reverend Hanyu, don't worry. Zhou's proper strengthening of the formation will only have a partial impact on the alchemy of that fellow daoist's spiritual pet. It may slightly reduce the quality of the alchemy, but it's better than losing everyone's lives together."
Real Hu Xiao argued based on reason, and couldn't find any flaws in his words.
Before the crisis of extinction, it seems to be a matter of course to sacrifice a little interest of individual monks to ensure the safety of the collective.
Master Hanyu fell silent, seemingly speechless to refute.
Reverend Hu Xiao pursed his lips, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, he walked away from Reverend Hanyu, holding the formation flag in his hand, and walked outside the side hall.
"Hmph! How naive! Since this matter is to be done, it must be done absolutely!"
Real Hu Xiao sneered secretly.
He is going to control the third-order formation to maximize its power, so that the supply of spiritual veins here will be insufficient.
At the same time, through the secret door, cut off the spirit gathering array in the cultivation hall.
In this way, at the critical moment of the attack, the monster's spiritual pressure plummeted, and it will surely usher in a backlash!
…
The real Huxiao walked out of the side hall, and was preparing to implement the plan.
Suddenly, his body was cold, and he stepped on the cliff.
The night is dark and the wind is high above the head, and the abyss is under the feet, and the whole person stumbles and falls into the endless hell.
"not good-"
The real Hu Xiao was terrified, roared in his heart, and bit the tip of his tongue violently.
With a "click", the real man's chest roared, and there was a cracking sound.
By the time he broke free from the third-order illusion and his consciousness returned to reality, he had already lost control of his body.
To be precise, this body has stopped breathing.
"Master Hu Xiao, you finally couldn't help but make a move?"
An old man in coir raincoat stood in front of him, his tone was indifferent, and he smashed all the viscera in his chest with his palm.
"Ni, you..."
True Hu Xiao uttered difficult words, and soon his seven orifices bled, and he fell to the ground.
Before he died, he understood that Lu Changan had been guarding against himself.
As long as he dares to stop the pill formation, the other party will mercilessly launch the thunder method.
"Xiang Zhenren, did you kill him directly?"
Realist Hanyu's pretty face paled slightly.
She had negotiated with Lu Changan in advance, and if Huxiao really made trouble secretly, the two would work together to stop it.
Never expected that if Lu Changan didn't make a move, he would have killed the real Hu Xiao directly.
This is an old-fashioned fake alchemy real person. If two people of the same rank join forces, they may not be able to win.
"No problem! If this matter brings trouble to Master Hanyu, Xiang will owe you an extra favor."
Lu Changan said generously.
"That's good! Xiang Zhenren will develop in the future, don't forget today's promise."
Reverend Han Yu's cheeks were as cold as snow, showing a rare smile.
Lu Changan said resolutely: "Xiang Mou's promise is as good as it gets!"
Hearing this, Master Hanyu felt relieved.
She looked at the third-order bear demon wandering outside the valley again, with worry in her eyes:
"Renren Xiang, if that demon bear is killed..."
"Master Hanyu, please don't worry, Xiang's method of suppressing the bottom of the box is useless. Even if the bear demon comes to kill, you and I will join hands, cooperate with the third-order formation with greatly reduced power, and be sure to delay until the completion of the alchemy."
Lu Changan said calmly.
"The means of suppressing the bottom of the box?"
Realist Han Yu thought of the identity and background of the other party, and his heart settled down.
She had an inexplicable sense of security, and she was inevitably a little curious about this real Xiang, and even developed a good impression.
"I think that bear demon may not be really malicious."
Lu Changan looked thoughtfully at the third-order bear demon outside the valley.
…
In the next half day, the bear demon wandered outside the valley, but did not break in.
Until a certain moment.
The huge clouds over the training hall began to dissipate steadily.
Bursts of rays of light lingered above the main hall, and the faint sound of Dao Xiyin descended into the main hall.
Lu Changan noticed that the end of the alchemy of the ground rock mouse was different from his previous life, and even Fu Xuemei's alchemy.
He was on guard against the third-order bear demon outside, but failed to concentrate on it.
Huh boom!
When the alchemy weather receded, a true alchemy-level monster aura overlooking the mountains emerged from the hall.
For a moment, the demonic aura surged to the sky, the situation was turbulent, and the group of demons retreated in fright.
"The demonic aura soars to the sky, this is the aura of a great demon!"
Lu Chang comforted his beard and smiled, his face was joyful, and a big stone settled in his heart.
The Rock Rat has just been promoted to the third rank, and the fluctuations in the demonic power it exudes are comparable to those of a long-standing demon.
This kind of alchemy weather and fluctuations in demon power will inevitably form an upstream true alchemy.
At this moment, even if the bear demon outside the valley is killed, there is no real threat.
