Chapter 116: The Martial Saint’s later years are unknown, and the Blood Jade Pill is made (two chapters in one)
In a small town.
Ning Qi walked among them. He looked like an ordinary young man now. After the matter was over, he rarely had the time to savor the fireworks of this world, which made him feel a little bit different.
After avenging his family's destruction, his mood became much calmer and his heart was at peace.
He is not in a hurry to go to the Zhenwu Underground Palace discovered by Taoist Longshan. Previously, he used the Virtual Sword Pill Disintegration Technique to quickly eliminate the Slender Elder. It still had some impact on the physical body. Although the side effects of this explosive seed method are small, But it's not without side effects.
Ning Qi plans to spend two or three days adjusting his condition and condensing a virtual sword pill again.
This will also give you the confidence to deal with unexpected changes.
The cries of vendors along the street penetrated into his ears from time to time, and Ning Qi also heard the secret conversations or experiences of many warriors, which even contained a lot of words like 'treasure' and 'secret realm'.
But he had no interest in finding out more.
For him, focusing on these things is a waste of time.
However, this was the first time he had gone down this far alone, which gave him a deeper understanding of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
In the past, Ning Qi's understanding of Dayan came from books or other people's oral accounts, which were always not as good as seeing them with his own eyes.
"In this world, the Great Yan Dynasty dominates the central region and occupies fertile land. Below it are thirteen states, with Yanzhou as the center. Under the thirteen states, there are prefectures, counties, and counties, which are governed by levels. Such a vast land It’s really not easy to control.”
"Looking at it now, although the people of Dayan are not as civilized as in the previous life, they can still live and work in peace and contentment. The chaotic situation in recent years has had an impact on them, but it is still within the controllable range."
Ning Qi can see it.
When the warriors fight, they also try to minimize the impact on ordinary people. This is inseparable from the powerful deterrent power of Great Flame on the warriors. No one dares to tease the tiger's beard.
To a certain extent, Dayan can be considered to have maintained its prosperity for quite a long time.
"Unfortunately, this situation may not last long."
"The Great Flame occupies the central region. To the east is the boundless sea, to the west is the yellow sand desert, to the south are hundreds of thousands of mountains, and to the north are barbarian tribes on the grasslands. Now the demon gates in the territory are ready to move, and an alliance has been formed in the southern border to watch. The remaining grasslands Although the Northern Barbarians have been suppressed by King Zhenbei, we don’t know the specific situation.”
"If it breaks out, Da Yan will be attacked from both sides."
Ning Qi was lost in thought while listening to some of the exaggerated rumors by the storyteller.
As his cultivation became deeper and deeper, especially after experiencing several wars between heaven and man, he gradually came to understand the operating rules of this world.
"The Martial Saint is the existence that suppresses the universe. Except for the Martial Saint on the bright side of Dayan, the other parties don't know about it, but they must have some means to compete with the Martial Saint."
"In addition to the Martial Saints, there are Heavenly Beings, but the destructive power of Heavenly Beings is actually very strong, so they rarely take action at ordinary times, just like they only appeared when conflicts were intense in the previous period."
"As for those under the realm of heaven and man, they are the main force in ordinary times. Focusing on the prefectures and counties, these people are the real main force."
"I don't know when... it will really become chaotic."
Ning Qi thought.
After learning about the Blood Emperor Gu, he felt more and more that there was an undercurrent surging.
Ning Qi left the storytelling alley quietly without anyone noticing.
Three days later.
Ning Qi once again condensed a virtual sword pill. Looking at the sword pill that was a little stronger than before, he smiled slightly. After using it once, he corrected some minor drawbacks and made the method more perfect.
Ning Qi left the small town and first headed towards the Zhenwu Underground Palace, which was much closer.
……
A place with high mountains and lofty mountains.
This is a relatively remote mountain range in Qingzhou.
Ning Qi arrived through the air.
He fell slowly, his senses constantly spreading out, and he landed in a mountain stream. There were traces left by Taoist Longshan there, which only Zhenwu disciples could identify.
"This is where Master discovered the Zhenwu Underground Palace?"
When Taoist Longshan was young, he mistakenly entered the Zhenwu underground palace and received part of the Zhenwu inheritance, which led to the current Zhenwu sect.
If it were a complete inheritance, I'm afraid there would be records about the realm of the Martial Saint.
Although Ning Qi is still far from being a Martial Saint, his combat power is gradually approaching, and he is slowly preparing for the future.
"Master once said that after several inspections, no trace of the Zhenwu Underground Palace was found. He also asked friends who are good at Qimen Formation to take a look. There is no formation cover here."
Various thoughts were swirling in Ning Qi's mind, and his perception had spread around him.
He is also good at various miscellaneous subjects. He often studied them when he could not practice martial arts in the past, and he did not give up in the following years. He felt that there should be no one in the world who could surpass him in these fields.
But soon.
Ning Qi frowned slightly.
There is indeed no formation in front of him.
He is very confident in his own magical skills. It is impossible for him to not see any trace of the existence of the formation.
But he also didn't feel any traces of the underground palace. In this case, wouldn't it mean that the underground palace had 'left' decades ago?
"Go down and have a look!"
Ning Qi became more interested, at least ruling out one possibility, not getting nothing.
As for how Zhenwu Underground Palace left, there are many possibilities.
The sea of jade liquid in his body vibrated, and the innate sword body secret technique was operating. In an instant, wisps of sword aura emerged and shuttled around Ning Qi. In the process of Ning Qi reviving the sword bone for Zhuang Chen, this secret technique became more perfect.
The light and sharp edge of the sword had penetrated a passage in the blink of an eye.
Ning Qi stepped in.
Go underground.
There is nothing special about the underground world. There is soil everywhere, which makes Ning Qi even more surprised. Before, he thought there was at least one empty space. After all, the Zhenwu Underground Palace really existed here, but there was none.
Ning Qi felt it carefully and found nothing strange.
But suddenly.
His eyes lit up.
Finally I discovered something was wrong.
As he walked further outside, he could feel that the soil outside was a little harder. The difference during this period was extremely small, and at a distance of a thousand meters underground, almost no one could detect it except Ning Qi.
Ning Qi followed the changes in soil hardness, but was completely cut off a hundred miles away.
This means that Zhenwu Underground Palace left from then on, and finally disappeared hundreds of miles away by unknown means before escaping underground.
"This... could it be that the Zhenwu Underground Palace is a living creature that can walk freely? The master left after receiving part of the inheritance."
He couldn't help but speculate.
"Is it some kind of huge alien beast or some kind of mechanism?"
Ning Qi walked out of the underground.
It has been determined that Zhenwu Underground Palace will leave, and staying down there will not help.
He knew that this trip was over.
But it’s not without gain.
"Whether the Zhenwu Underground Palace is a mechanism, a strange beast, or something else, since it appeared decades ago, it will definitely appear in the future, and it may follow certain rules."
"Master only received part of the Zhenwu inheritance back then, perhaps because he was not talented enough. If the underground palace appears again, I should be able to get all the inheritance."
Ning Qi planned to go back to the mountain and ask more about the situation back then to see if he could find the pattern of the underground palace.
Perhaps Taoist Longshan was not the first person to receive the Zhenwu inheritance, but others had already died.
Ning Qi erased many traces.
Then he left in the air.
He didn't continue to struggle. Since he couldn't find it here, he went to the next place. It was just a matter of luck anyway.
Ye Qinghe had talked to him before when he went down the mountain to practice.
In a small town, I heard a blind old man talk about rumors about the Martial Saint.
……
Early next morning.
Ning Qi slowly walked into the town.
He had asked Ye Qinghe in detail that the blind old man in this town was a storyteller.
Ning Qi asked about the way out and immediately received an enthusiastic reply:
"You're talking about Mr. Sun, right? He's on the east side of the city. You can see him if you go there."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded his thanks, then walked slowly towards the east. There was nothing special about this town. If anything, it was that the residents here were very friendly, friendlier than the people in other places.
"Martial Saint's hometown? I don't know if it's true or not."
With this thought, Ning Qi stopped outside a wooden shed.
The shed was crowded with people inside and out.
Very lively.
Someone shouted from inside:
"Old man Li, let's play another part? I haven't had enough of it today!"
"Old sir, please, please do it again, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well today."
"How about telling the story of the Heaven-killing Martial Saint?"
Ning Qi was shocked and listened outside. The Tianzhan Martial Saint was the name of the Martial Saint that Ye Qinghe mentioned before.
An old voice came from inside.
Everyone held their breath.
It was mesmerizing to hear, and there were exclamations and uproar from time to time.
But Ning Qi's eyes gradually became weird.
"Cut off the nine heavenly veins to save the common people? Chasing the sun and eventually being punished by thunder from the sky?"
Even if Ning Qi has not been exposed to the realm of the Martial Saint for the time being, he knows that this is impossible. This is obviously an exaggeration by the old gentleman himself, but the people like to hear this.
No wonder Ye Qinghe didn't talk about it.
But Ning Qi still listened carefully, hoping to get some useful information from it.
soon.
With the sound of the gavel clapping, everyone left their rewards and left with unfulfilled feelings.
Ning Qi looked at the blind old man who lowered his head to pack his things.
His eyes were surprised.
This old man is not an ordinary person, he has a good level of cultivation.
The old man raised his head and smiled:
"Young man, you are a foreigner. Today's storytelling is over. Come back tomorrow."
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"You can't see with your old eyes, how do you know that I am a young man, let alone a foreigner."
Although his current image is indeed that of a young man.
"Although my old man is blind, he has been blind for a long time and can still feel some things that normal people cannot see. You are not as rotten as an old man like me. How do you know that you are a foreigner?"
The blind old man smiled.
"The locals won't be here to watch my blind old man close his stall."
Ning Qi smiled and put down a handful of coins and said:
"I really like hearing the story you told about the Heaven-Zlaying Martial Saint."
The old man waved his hand and said:
"You are not the only one who likes it, many people like it. If you want to listen, come back tomorrow."
Ning Qi clasped his fists and left.
The old man looked up at the direction Ning Qi left and shook his head slightly.
The next day.
Ning Qi is here again.
During this period, the blind old man told another story about the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, but it was still outrageous and exaggerated, and everyone listened with gusto.
The end.
Ning Qi and the blind old man smiled and said hello and left.
He plans to stay here for a while.
Just in time to study the Blood King Gu here.
With the previous experience of creating the Golden Jade Pill recipe, this time it will save a lot of time. The main thing is to compare the previous medicinal properties of the relics and the Blood King Gu. By then, using the Night Pearl, we can create a pill with stronger medicinal properties than the Golden Jade Pill. medicine.
After all, the Blood King Gu has more energy than the relic.
The third day.
……
The fourth day.
……
Ning Qi went to listen to books every day, and many people even gradually became familiar with this frequent visitor from other places.
"Xiao Liu, you're here again!" someone said hello. This was Ning Qi's pseudonym.
Ning Qi smiled and nodded. This day.
Ning Qi finally heard a little different news.
"Our town is the hometown of Martial Saint Zhan Tian. He grew up here when he was young, and returned here in his later years. Some people have had a glimpse of him, but Martial Saint Zhan Tian is incredibly old..."
This is what Ye Qinghe mentioned before.
I think Ye Qinghe also stayed here for a few days.
Ning Qi is very patient.
Keep listening.
This information obviously has a more real feeling, making people seem to see the desolation of Wu Sheng.
in this way.
Time passes.
Ning Qi has been staying here for nearly a month. This is the longest time he has stayed in a place other than Zhenwu Mountain since he was born.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The reason for staying so long.
One is to see if there is more news about Wu Sheng.
The second is for the Blood King Gu.
Although he had learned from Elder Shou before that there were no resonance or tracking marks on the Blood King Gu, to be on the safe side, Ning Qi still planned to get rid of it outside Zhenwu Mountain to avoid leaving any trouble on Zhenwu Mountain.
Three days ago.
Ning Qi has already deduced a prescription using Blood King Gu as the main medicine, which he calls Blood Jade Pill.
He sent a message asking Luo Wentian to send someone to send the rest of the auxiliary materials down the mountain.
By then.
He will not return to the mountain until he has refined the Blood Jade Pill at the foot of the mountain. In this way, even if the Southern Xinjiang Alliance really has the secret technique to track the Blood King Gu, it will not be able to find the head of Zhenwu Mountain.
Ning Qi looked up at the heavy rain outside the window and sighed slightly:
"Maybe Mr. Sun just knows this."
The blood jade elixir prescription was ready, and he planned to leave after the medicinal materials were delivered to the designated location in a few days.
Although his practice would not be delayed here, he was still more accustomed to Zhenwu Mountain, and there were many Taoist scriptures waiting for him to read there.
Ning Qi held an umbrella and went out.
There were almost no people on the road.
Arrive at the Storytelling Woodshed.
It was even more deserted.
Only the blind old man.
There was a heavy rain today, and no matter how addicted the readers were, they would not come. Ning Qi originally thought that Mr. Sun would not come, but he did not expect that he would actually come.
And Mr. Sun obviously didn't expect Ning Qi to come.
"It turns out it's you, Xiao Liu..."
The old man smiled with emotion and began to tell stories as usual. This has been a habit he has formed over the years.
Ning Qi listened quietly and relaxed.
In the past month, he had heard many things more than once. Gradually, he just regarded this period of time as a special experience, and maybe he would smile lightly when he thought of it one day in the future.
There are still a few days left until departure.
He doesn't have many ideas anymore.
Heavy rain poured down on the wooden shed. An old man and a young man were reading and listening to a book. There was an inexplicable artistic conception.
a long time.
Only then did Mr. Sun stop. He glanced at the heavy rain outside the house, as if he could really see it.
"Young man, how long have you been here?" He suddenly spoke, without calling Ning Qi 'Xiao Liu'.
Ning Qi also looked outside the shed and said calmly:
"It's been almost a month."
"In one month, life can only last a few more months. Go back early. This blind old man like me is not worth wasting so much of your time."
Ning Qi smiled:
"The old man is very nice here. I think this month is very meaningful."
This is the truth. This month has made his state of mind vaguely change. This is a completely different feeling from Zhenwu Mountain.
Silence again.
After a while, Mr. Sun's faint voice slowly sounded:
"Perhaps the story of Wu Sheng should have ended long ago, and after a while, it will be time for me to leave."
He could see that Ning Qi was particularly interested in Wu Sheng's story.
Ning Qi was stunned:
"Where are you going?"
The blind old man looks into the distance:
"We are at home all over the world."
He waved his hand and began to pack up his storytelling tools, his voice seemed to be magical:
"It's better not to pursue matters at the level of a Martial Saint. Excessive curiosity is sometimes not a good thing."
Ning Qi fell silent and asked:
"Old sir, did anyone really see Tianzhan Martial Saint returning in his later years?"
The blind old man chuckled:
"Maybe, who can tell the true from the false? No one knows about Wu Sheng. Maybe there will be disasters in their later years. Maybe they want to convey some information, but they can't convey it at all. ”
The unfocused pupils suddenly raised, and there was a sense of horror that made Ning Qi's heart skip a beat.
The blind old man drifted away.
It was raining heavily, and he didn't hold an umbrella, but the raindrops never touched him. Occasionally, pedestrians saw this scene, but they didn't show any surprise, as if they had never seen it before.
Ning Qi stood alone in the wooden shed.
"Disaster? Unknown?"
He vaguely felt that he had come into contact with the secrets of the Martial Saint.
a long time.
Ning Qi took a long breath.
The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
Although he still didn't know what secrets were hidden behind this realm, but at least he was mentally prepared.
The rest.
At least we have to wait until he reaches the Martial Saint level combat power one day and then slowly find out.
Ning Qi feels that this may be close to being realized after his realm breaks through the realm of heaven and man, and he is not too far away from this step.
As long as the Blood Jade Pill is refined, Ning Qi can accelerate his promotion to the Yuan Pill.
Then, there is the realm of heaven and man.
The next day.
Ning Qi left quietly.
The listening wooden shed was still there, and some people only knew that Ning Qi had left after not seeing him for several days. They couldn't help but feel sorry for the loss of a listening companion. The blind old man sighed slightly and continued to tell the story of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint. story.
……
After Ning Qi left the town, he went to a city close to Zhenwu Mountain.
He had previously sent a message to Luo Wentian to send someone to prepare the auxiliary materials for refining the Blood Jade Pill and deliver them here.
By the time Ning Qi arrived, the auxiliary materials had already arrived.
In the small courtyard.
Ning Qi laid out the precious medicinal materials and took an alchemy furnace at random. For him, refining elixirs did not require external help.
Only the main material remains.
He took out two purple jade bamboo tubes from his arms and opened one of them first. The Blood King Gu appeared and revolved around Ning Qi. Even though Ning Qi was controlling it with special syllables, the Blood King Gu had a manic tone.
Ning Qi had discovered a long time ago that it seemed that after the blood king Gu matured, it began to become more vicious.
If two Blood King Gu were put together at this moment, they would probably lose control completely.
Even so, the Blood King Gu is now constantly spinning around the other purple jade bamboo tube containing the Blood King Gu.
Ning Qi thought, and the Gang Qi solidified it in mid-air.
Over the past few days, he has figured out how to use Blood King Gu.
Its essence lies in the three pairs of wings, and the body full of vitality is secondary. Even if ordinary people get this Blood King Gu, they may not know how to use it.
Fortunately, this is not difficult for Ning Qi.
He has been observing the Blood King Gu from time to time in the past month, and he has comprehended the special syllables he had previously learned from the fat and thin elders, and he has also created some methods to draw out the essence blood in the Blood King Gu.
now.
His Gang Qi vibrated at a special frequency, and special syllables that only Blood King Gu could hear were transmitted to its mind.
The next moment.
More dense blood patterns appeared on the surface of Blood King Gu, and then they gathered towards the three pairs of wings.
As time passes.
The three pairs of wings have become like works of art. The blood jade wings are so beautiful that it makes people's hearts palpitate, but the most heart-warming thing is the rich energy essence.
And Blood King Gu's eyes have completely lost their vitality.
Ning Qi casually took off three pairs of wings, and with a shock of energy, the remains of the Blood King Gu turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Ning Qi had some expectations in her eyes.
No hesitation.
Open the furnace to make alchemy!
The Gang Qi turned into extremely violent flames, but the changes followed Ning Qi's heart, and the medicinal materials were tempered one by one. The entire alchemy process was picturesque, but it was a pity that no one could appreciate this scene.
An hour later.
Dancheng.
Ning Qi's expression changed, and the strong energy completely enveloped the small courtyard to prevent any movement from escaping.
He opened the alchemy furnace, and there was a blood-colored brilliance surging, full of vitality and energy.
"Six Blood Jade Pills."
Ning Qi didn't hesitate at all, took one pill, and then started to temper the Gang Qi by running the Heaven and Earth Great Mill Tempering Method.
Boom!
The roaring sound that only Ning Qi could hear rang out, and the sea of jade liquid shook. Wisps of seawater poured into the big grinding mill and underwent tempering. However, after taking the Blood Jade Pill, the big grinding mill took on the blood-colored brilliance, and the tempering efficiency Multiply.
Ning Qi felt the tempering efficiency much faster than before, and felt happy.
"Same as the Golden Jade Pill, one Blood Jade Pill is enough to speed up my practice for one month, but the effect is even better."
"According to this progress... only ten Blood Jade Pills are enough for me to successfully enter the realm of Yuan Dan."
Ning Qi nodded with satisfaction.
One Blood King Gu was used to refine six Blood Jade Pills, so there were still two left.
At that time, whether it is kept for the Zhenwu Sect as a foundation, or used for other purposes, it will be fine.
But he also felt a little emotional.
He has indeed surpassed the same realm too much. One Blood King Gu is enough to advance an ordinary Yuan Dan realm to the Heavenly Realm. However, when it comes to him, two can only allow him to break through the Yuan Dan realm, and it is not a direct breakthrough, but just a breakthrough. Just speed up.
This is also normal.
After all, Ning Qi is only in the Jade Liquid Realm now, and already has strength that far exceeds the ordinary Heavenly Realm. Naturally, it is difficult to break through.
But having said that, even if there is a pill that can directly help break through the realm, Ning Qi will not take it. He needs to ensure that his foundation is not flawless, so whether it is deducing the Golden Jade Pill or the Blood Jade Pill, Ning Qi will not take it. It is to deduce in the direction of accelerating cultivation rather than directly breaking through the realm.
Ning Qi felt relaxed.
Follow the same example.
Another Blood King Gu was successfully refined into six Blood Jade Pills.
This way.
Even if the Southern Xinjiang Alliance has powerful means, it is impossible to find traces of the Blood King Gu.
For now.
There has been no movement in the Southern Xinjiang Alliance for the time being, presumably because they have not noticed that the fat and thin elders have lost contact.
But if he really reacted, he would eventually suspect the Demon Sect.
The unique poisonous martial arts can be found by just searching. After all, Elder Wang had used it in Zhenwu Mountain before. Although Ning Qi deliberately erased the traces, he felt that the Southern Xinjiang Alliance should be able to find out the real traces. Otherwise, it would not be worthy of comparison with the Demon Sect.
As for Zhuang Chen who escaped to the Zhenwu Sect alive after the Divine Sword Sect was destroyed.
This may put the Zhenwu Sect under suspicion.
But maybe the Southern Xinjiang Alliance will think that the Demon Sect is trying to kill people with a knife.
After all, the apparent strength of the Zhenwu Sect is far from enough to destroy the stronghold of the Southern Xinjiang Alliance. Even with the addition of Master Tianjian, it is enough. The methods and strength displayed by the fat and thin elders will not be weaker than Taoist Longshan and Master Tianjian. .
Ning Qi thought carefully.
After confirming that nothing was missing, he headed towards Zhenwu Mountain.
It was the first time he had been away from home for so long, and he missed home a little.
