Chapter 78 77. Exchange Meeting, Blood Melting Art (4.1K words - please subscribe)
The Puppet Sect is in chaos, but Hantan Valley Market is still bustling and lively.
Many monks from the Three Kingdoms gathered here, and the few Jianggong-level powerhouses who got the news had no intention of disturbing the atmosphere here for the time being.
Because for both the Puppet Sect and the Nanwu Jianmen, Hantan Valley Market is not only a symbol of "the alliance between the two sides", but also has an unprecedented deep meaning.
That is unity.
The opportunity to unify all the monks in the Three Kingdoms lies in the Hantan Valley Market.
I would like to ask, if this market place continues to develop for a long time, wouldn't those who control the market place be able to "catch all" the monks in one fell swoop and accept them all?
The most difficult thing in the world is "from zero to one".
Hantangu Shifang is this "one".
Therefore, Gu Huangzi and the Great Elder do not want anything to happen to the opening of the market this time.
Besides, Grandma Fox's appearance in the evil place has nothing to do with Hantan Valley Market.
That's it, just use the masters to cover up the situation and go to the puppet Zongsha for support.
Almost everyone here was kept in the dark, except for a few people who got the news.
Yinwutai is one of them.
At this time, he had already taken Song Yan to stay in a restaurant in the market. Although it had two rooms, there were still his confidants watching outside the building to prevent Song Yan from escaping.
Song Yan tested it several times. As long as he wanted to go out, Yinwutai would definitely find an excuse to join him.
And if he lets Cao Yuzhuang go out, no one will care at all.
Song Yan couldn't help but become curious.
However, no matter how quick his mind was, he would never have imagined that "Grandma Fox actually played a trick, taking advantage of someone's going out and pocketing the house".
So, he focused his testing on "whether the Puppet Sect and Nanwu Jianmen have broken down."
After all, he is the master of Nanwu Jianmen, and the purpose of his coming here is to act as "the lubricant on the surface between good and evil." However, if the two sects break up, the Puppet Sect will definitely worry about him escaping.
Yinwutai is also a human spirit, so he naturally guessed what Song Yan was thinking, so he chuckled, cooperated with his junior brother's thoughts, and said a few words in a cold voice: "You have to remember, you are my junior brother now, you Even if he returns to Jianmen, how can he compare with the scenery in my Puppet Sect?"
After that, he patted Song Yan on the shoulder with a "heart-breaking" attitude. , his slightly nervous bloodshot pupils drooped slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "Senior brother, I have to admit that there are indeed some decent idiots in Nanwu Jianmen, but most of them are hypocrites. Damn, make more plans for yourself. , don’t foolishly fall into the wrong team.”
When Song Yan saw that Senior Brother Yin cared so much about him, he immediately understood that it was definitely not a “breakdown.”
Then what exactly is it?
He couldn't guess it for a moment.
At this time, others were in the wing of the restaurant, but the shadow puppet of the abnormal soul was still moving outside.
In the evening, the puppet finally found a "swap meeting".
This "exchange meeting" was formed temporarily. The members seemed to be monks who were interested in the "Jiang Palace Realm". There were casual cultivators among them, but there were also disciples of the Nanwu Sword Sect and the Puppet Sect. .
In the exchange meeting, there were 7 people including him.
There are two Jianmen disciples.
Two disciples of the Puppet Sect.
One is from the Blood Corpse Peak, and behind him is a large, tightly wrapped man. The stiff purple color can be vaguely glimpsed through the gaps in the cloth strips. This is a purple corpse whose strength is comparable to about the eighth level of Lianxuan.
The other one was wearing heavy armor, and there was a strange aura floating on the heavy armor. Song Yan recognized it at a glance as a genius disciple of an elder on Paperman Peak, and had already reached the ninth level of Lianxuan.
There are two others, like him, wearing "anonymous suits".
The Hantan Valley Market opened under the banner of "No matter where you come from or your identity, as long as you are a human race, you are welcome." Therefore, as long as you can pass the entrance test, no matter what you do when you get to the market. Hiding one's head and showing one's tail, no one cares.
The Jianmen disciples glanced at the Puppet Sect disciples, and both sides snorted coldly and stood apart without dealing with each other.
Then the seven people each raised their own questions, and if someone could answer them, they would switch to talking in pairs and make private transactions.
What the Sword Sect disciples and the Puppet Sect disciples are basically concerned about are "Which of the high-level monster blood is suitable as the foundation-building blood for entry into the Jiang Palace Realm, and what is the effect?", "Where can I find it?" What kind of high-level monster's den", "Except for big fox tits" "Is there any news about Jianggong Realm monsters or demons?" and the like.
The other two who concealed their identities were asking "How to break through Jianggong Realm" and "Is there any Jianggong Realm Cultivation Technique?" , spells can be exchanged" and other issues
Obviously, like Song Yan, these two are "reaching the top, but there is no way to continue."
So, Song Yan also raised the same question with these two people.
After the question was raised, it was time to talk and trade privately.
What surprised Song Yan was that the two casual cultivators seemed to have their own adventures and took many treasures.
After a Blood Corpse Peak disciple finished his transaction with a casual cultivator, he looked at Song Yan. The two exchanged glances and walked aside.
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple said directly: "I have a fragment of the Jianggong realm's cultivation, which guarantees that I can at least get started, but it is not from my Puppet Sect. What can you exchange for it?"
Song Yan said: "Xuan Yu. "
"Nothing else?" The Blood Corpse Peak disciple frowned.
Song Yandao: "You can't use anything else."
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple thought for a while, it was just a copy anyway, it would make no difference if you gave it to one more person or one less person. It can only be sold in these casual cultivators without inheritance, so he said: "The price is two hundred small mysterious jade, or two mysterious crystals."
Song Yan hesitated.
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple said: "It's a bit expensive, but I belong to the Puppet Sect, and this market was also run by our sect. Since I dare to sell with my face exposed here, then It can't be a fake."
Song Yan said: "Then you have to tell me where you got it."
His information is quite limited.
He has no idea how monks of the same level take advantage of opportunities and collect treasures outside.
Take this Blood Corpse Peak disciple for example. Where did he get the fragments of cultivation?
The Puppet Sect doesn’t have anything to exchange for it.
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Soon, Song Yan took out two pieces of Xuan Jing that were a little broken.
The disciples of Blood Corpse Peak were stunned and said: "Why is it bad?"
Song Yan said: "It's not as big as your sect, but it's not lacking in weight."
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple weighed it twice, took out a manuscript with fairly new pages from his arms and handed it over.
The manuscript contains three words: "The Art of Melting Blood".
Song Yan quickly flipped through the pages to check.
He had to deduce this thing by himself, which was troublesome and time-consuming. It would be much better to have a ready-made one.
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple said: "Don't worry, I showed it to my peak master and there is nothing wrong with this technique."
After saying that, he smiled and said: "Hantan Valley Market will be our family from now on. I don’t dare to smash the sign.”
Song Yan turned over it hastily. Asked: "Why didn't you visualize the method?"
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple said: "If there was a visualization diagram, it wouldn't be at this price."
Song Yan had no choice but to put it away, but luckily There was indeed a lot of important information in this technique, and he planned to study it carefully later.
The Blood Corpse Peak disciple continued: "I obtained this "Blood Melting Technique" in a secret realm called the 'Giant Elephant Plain'. The location of the 'Giant Elephant Plain' is not a secret. It is to the west of here. It's six to seven hundred miles away, and the entrance is restricted. , the ban will only be opened in summer, and will be closed again in autumn. You need to go in and out quickly.
When the time comes, you will meet your colleagues and form a group. That’s the team.”
Giant Elephant Plains?
Secret realm?
Prohibition?
Song Yan suddenly thought of the secret realm of the Demon Swamp in the "Snake Corpse Marketplace", so he asked: "Will this secret realm change places?"
The disciple of Blood Corpse Peak said: "You... Don’t you know?”
Song Yan said: “Please enlighten me.”
The disciple of Blood Corpse Peak said: “Of course the secret realm will not change places.”
After that, he waved his hand and the transaction was completed.
Song Yan frowned. He remembered that the secret realm of the magic swamp in the "Snake Corpse Marketplace" moved with the market place. What was going on?
Guan Wu and Song Yan, two disciples, came to the restaurant after shopping. They wanted to return with Master Song, but they were stopped.
Yinwutai came forward and said rather arrogantly: "If you want to go back to the sect, you go back first. Junior Brother Song must come with me."
Guan Wu still wants to ask questions, Yin Wutai waved his hand and returned directly.
In the attic, Song Yan watched this scene quietly, his doubts growing in his heart.
Obviously, Yinwutai imprisoned him here.
But what is he waiting for?
Whoosh.
The pages of "Blood Melting Art" were turned.
The handwriting on it is neat and graceful, and the flavor of pen and ink is still there. It looks like it was copied recently by some handyman.
Recalling the words of the Blood Corpse Peak disciple, Song Yan suddenly realized: This was probably not deliberately released by the Puppet Sect to enhance the status of "Hantan Valley Market". After all, after this time, all the monks outside knew about it. This market actually even sells "Jiang Palace Level Cultivation Techniques".
The influence is naturally very different.
As for the content of the technique, it is Luo Liba Suo, but this is exactly suitable for someone like Song Yan who knows nothing about the "Jiang Palace Realm".
Read it carefully.
Song Yan probably understood.
The essence of Jianggong Realm should be "to use powerful foreign blood to enhance one's life level."
For humans, the "foundation blood" is very important.
The blood of foundation building is the first blood taken into the body.
This blood will occupy the core palace position of the "Three Palaces in Jianggong" in the initial state of Jianggong. Once confirmed, it cannot be changed unless the state is abolished and then restarted.
In order to take it safely, each flavor of blood needs to be refined by an "alchemist" supplemented by the elixir Xuanhua to detoxify and increase its effectiveness, making it a "Jiang Palace Pill" suitable for ninth-level Xuanxuan monks to take.
The higher the level of external blood, the more complicated the process of refining Jianggong Dan. Some alchemists have never seen it before, and they can only cross the river by feeling the stones.
So, for the monks of the Three Kingdoms, it is a safer way to build the foundation with some "blood of common monsters".
As for demons, there are not so many things to worry about.
Because the demon does not need the blood of foundation building.
They have it themselves.
The blood they are born with is the blood of foundation building.
So, no one is noble or low, but demons are born into different ranks.
The power of the life level will naturally make flesh and blood extremely powerful. If you need Xuan Qi to maintain your invulnerability at the level of practicing Xuan, then when you reach the Jianggong realm, you don’t need Xuan Qi at all. Can burst out with great power.
This realm is a realm that improves "body strength".
Xuanqi also mainly plays an auxiliary role.
But the effects brought by different "foreign blood" are also ever-changing.
"Blood Melting Technique" also gives several common examples.
For example, the "Silver Armored Elephant" is a high-level monster that is comparable to the ninth level of Lianxuan. If you use its blood as the foundation blood, you can make your skin extremely hard. With the level of body training techniques, it can be said that the entire body is a defensive mysterious treasure.
Tools used to practice the Xuan level are called Xuan tools.
Those at the Jianggong level are called Xuan Bao.
Another example is "Fengxuanhe". By occupying the core palace with the blood of foundation building, you can make yourself extremely agile. Coupled with the skills of concealment and dexterity, you can become without shadow. Gone without a trace, like a ghost.
After considering that he was still wearing the "Cold Prison Bracelet" on his wrist, Song Yan carefully searched for information about the "spiritual soul" in "Blending Blood Art".
Although there are no visualization diagrams in this booklet, there are indeed explanations.
It is said in the exercise method that "the body and soul complement each other and restrain each other."
Complementing each other, naturally means that powerful flesh and blood will feed back the soul, causing the soul existing in the Jianggong realm to gradually shift from "ethereal and invisible gaseous state" to "liquid state".
But this transformation does not happen automatically, but requires "visualization pictures" and external objects that can nourish the soul.
Mutual restraint means that powerful souls can directly harm people with weak flesh and blood, and strong flesh and blood can directly burn weak souls.
Here is also an example of "evil spirit".
Even if a Xuan-level monk enters a "place with strong evil aura" and needs to use Xuan Qi to resist the evil aura at all times, this is not required at all in the Jianggong realm.
Seeing this, Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
If the description in the book is correct, the "Han Jing Fu Bracelet" is the kind of foreign object that "nourishes the soul", but this foreign object was given to him by the old demon Gu Huangzi, so there is obviously a big problem.< br>
The reason why the problem has not erupted is simply because he has not triggered the "mechanism" yet.
If we deduce according to the description in the book, strong flesh and blood can burn weak souls, then strong flesh and blood will most likely be the "mechanism".
When the flesh and blood reaches a certain "threshold", the trap on the "Cold Hell Floating Life Bracelet" will explode, and the old demon Gu Huangzi will discover it immediately.
If he had not died in the trap, as long as the old demon Gu Huangzi was near him, he would immediately come to "make up for it" and trap him in a place of eternal destruction.
However, the old demon Gu Huangzi gave him this not just for last-ditch attacks.
Because his apparent level is only the seventh level of Lianxuan.
Song Yan squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. The iron rod he saw after the fog cleared that day flashed in his mind, as well as the soul trapped in the "cage" in the "Cold Prison Floating Life Bracelet".
Suddenly, he had a rather terrifying guess in his heart: If the "cage" was pyramid-shaped, the "cage" he saw provided him with soul nourishment at the bottom, and He is at the middle level.
At a certain moment, the mist in the middle level will disperse, and he will find himself in a cage, just like the struggling souls at the bottom, continuously providing soul nourishment to the one on the top.
That
I am afraid it is Gu Huangzi.
And that moment...
I am afraid it will be after returning to the sect this time.
