Chapter 649: Flame Spirit Water, Demon Sealing Valley

Although this middle-aged man seemed to be speaking for the monks present, his words were still somewhat sarcastic, showing off his high position.

"Hmph! Although what I said is a bit unpleasant, there is no need for you, Fellow Daoist Liu, to act coy in front of me. Since you and I are both here for this corpse, then let's just do our best!"

"Well, I, the Lulin Sect, bid 62,000 spirit stones." The middle-aged man slightly cupped his hands and immediately reported his price to the audience.

"Sixty-three thousand spiritual stones!"

".."

As these two people began to bid, two more people from around them joined in and began to compete for this item.

However, whether it is the old man in gray, the middle-aged monk, or other monks who continue to compete for the "corpse puppet" of the late Jindan stage on the stage, these people, without exception, are all people who represent the Nascent Soul Sect behind the scenes.

The other monks who had just participated in the quotation looked at these people quoting and competing for spiritual objects. Although they were still a little eager to try, they did not dare to make an offer easily anymore, and they became just spectators like Song Qingming.

In response to this situation, the "Tianpuppet Sect" as the organizer of the auction, apart from symbolically urging everyone to bid, did not want to say anything more and allowed these Nascent Soul Sect monks to control the bidding price of the last lot. .

It seems that the final "Corpse Puppet" in the late stage of the golden elixir was taken out, and it had nothing to do with Song Qingming and other ordinary golden elixir monks who came to participate in the conference.

Seeing the strange atmosphere at the scene, Song Qingming didn't feel too disturbed.

Although he was also very interested in the late-stage golden elixir "corpse puppet" on the stage, Song Qingming also knew very well that even if there were no people from the Nascent Soul Sect participating in the competition, just with the remaining spirit stones on his body, he would It is not an easy task to win this thing.

After all, among the hundreds of golden elixir monks present, there are many who are in the late stage of the golden elixir and above. There are five or six monks who have reached the ninth level of the golden elixir. Song Qingming's hope of winning in the competition with them is also very high. Slim.

Seeing that the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him, Song Qingming didn't want to stay at the auction site anymore, so he confessed to Qing Ling beside him, got up and walked out of the private room of the auction on the second floor.

However, Song Qingming had just reached the stairs when a maid from the "Tian Puppet Sect" dressed similar to Qing Ling suddenly came from behind and called out to him.

"Senior, please wait a moment!"

After hearing this, Song Qingming turned around and glanced at the other party. After confirming that she was calling him, he asked strangely: "You can leave early, don't you have anything else to do?"

"Senior, you misunderstood. Our auction house can leave at any time. I came to you because another senior just asked me to bring you a letter."

After speaking, this cute-looking maid from the "Tian Puppet Sect" took out a letter with a hint of prohibition on it and handed it to Song Qingming.

See it! Song Qingming nodded slightly, took the letter and directly erased the restrictions on it. After opening it and glancing at the contents, he stood there and thought for a moment before putting it away with a calm expression.

"Did the fellow Taoist who asked you to deliver the letter say anything else? Has he already left here?"

"The senior just left the second floor. He didn't say anything else. He just asked me to help deliver this letter to you." The maid of "Tianpuppet Sect" quickly replied.

Hearing the other party's answer, Song Qingming smiled and waved his hand: "Well! Sorry to trouble you."

After leaving the "Tianpuppet Sect" auction venue, Song Qingming first returned to the inn where he lived to rest for a while.

After he packed his things, he did not leave Fangshi directly after going out, but came to a restaurant not far from the inn.

Under the leadership of the restaurant waiter, Song Qingming quickly arrived at a private room upstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, Song Qingming saw a black-robed monk standing not far away. With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Sure enough, fellow Taoist, you didn't make me wait in vain! My Excellency, Li Xuan, please come first." Come and talk!”

When Song Qingming saw this, he slightly bowed his hand in return. After entering the private room, Song Qingming asked: "Song San, fellow Taoist Li invited me here. He said he had something to discuss. I don't know what the matter is. Please just speak up?”

This black-robed monk was the one who competed with Song Qingming for the "Golden Puppet Pill" before.

Just when Song Qingming left the "Tianpuppet Sect" auction venue early, this person suddenly asked a maid to send him a letter, wanting to meet Song Qingming to discuss something.

Although it felt a little strange, this was still a city after all, and Song Qingming didn't have to worry about any disadvantages when going on a date. After thinking about it, he came over to see the other party.

The black-robed monk standing aside saw that Song Qingming seemed a little anxious, so he stopped being polite to him and said directly:

"Fellow Daoist Song bought the Golden Puppet Pill at the auction today. He should have used it to cultivate corpse puppets. I don't know what the cultivation level of your corpse puppet is now. Can you tell me first?"

"I got this corpse not long ago, and it is still at the peak of the first level of the golden elixir. I came here to buy the elixir today to help it break through in cultivation."

When the other party asked about the "golden wind" on his body, Song Qingming didn't think much and answered the other party truthfully.

Although Li Xuan has not yet revealed his purpose, it is not difficult for Song Qingming to guess that the reason why he invited her here today must be because of the "Corpse Puppet" matter. At this point, Song Qingming does not need to deliberately hide it from the other party. .

After hearing Song Qingming's answer, Li Xuan looked slightly happy and said again: "I think Fellow Taoist Song seems to be very interested in cultivating corpse puppets.

I have a secret method here that can help fellow Taoists quickly improve the cultivation level of the corpse puppet on your body. I wonder if you are interested in hearing about it. "

"Oh! What's the secret method? Please ask Fellow Daoist Li to give you some advice."

When Song Qingming heard that the other party said that there was a way to speed up the cultivation of "Golden Wind", Song Qingming was slightly startled. He suddenly became interested and asked the other party to continue talking.

After refining the golden elixir corpse puppet "Golden Wind", when he was still in the early stage of the golden elixir, "Golden Wind" did help Song Qingming in many battles with others.

However, with the rapid improvement of Song Qingming's cultivation level, "Golden Wind", whose cultivation base has been stuck in the same place, has gradually been unable to keep up with Song Qingming's strength. This has always made Song Qingming feel helpless.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, some secret techniques for cultivating high-level "corpse puppets" are generally only found in large sects such as the "Tian Puppet Sect", and are difficult to find outside.

If there was a way to help him quickly improve his "Golden Wind" cultivation, it would definitely be something Song Qingming would be very happy to do.

After all, "Golden Wind" has been with him for so many years and has experienced many battles with him. Song Qingming also has some feelings for him. Of course, he doesn't want to throw him away like a magic weapon or a talisman in the future.

Seeing that Song Qingming had become interested, Li Xuan nodded slightly and continued: "Fellow Daoist Song also knows that corpse puppets cannot rely on their own cultivation to improve their cultivation speed. If you want to help them improve their cultivation, they must refine enough pills and spirits. Things do.

But even if you are willing to invest so many elixirs in him, under normal circumstances the speed of refining these spiritual objects will not be too fast.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least thirty years for a corpse puppet in the early stage of the Golden Core to advance to a higher level of cultivation.

However, I know a secret method that can use a kind of spiritual water to cleanse the corpse puppet's physical body and speed up its ability to absorb and refine spiritual objects. This can almost shorten the speed of improving their cultivation by half. "

"What kind of spiritual water is this fellow Taoist talking about that has such an effect, but can we find it?"

After Li Xuan paused for a moment, he continued: "This thing is called Yanling Water, and it happens to be found in a place in the Demon-Sealing Valley not far from here.

However, this Devil's Valley is not an ordinary place. Even if Jindan monks like us enter it rashly, it will be quite dangerous. In order to increase the probability of success of this trip, I have made an appointment with a few Taoist friends to go with me. I wonder if fellow Taoist Song is interested in taking a trip with us.

Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that we are all here to refine the corpse puppets in our bodies, and we have no other purpose in entering the valley. If fellow Taoist is worried, we can also make a soul contract in advance before taking action. "

"Demon Sealing Valley, why are you in a place like this?"

Song Qingming's face was filled with anticipation when he heard Li Xuan mention that the effect of "Yanling Water" could greatly increase the speed of corpse puppet cultivation.

However, when he uttered the words "Demon Sealing Valley", Song Qingming, who was still very calm, suddenly changed his face and frowned.

Song Qingming had already heard Bai Yuxian mention this place to him before he set out for the Kingdom of Wei, "Sealing the Demon Valley", and warned Song Qingming that this place was dangerous and asked him to try not to get close. .

When Bai Yuxian came to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" to travel to the immortal world, although he did not go near the "Demon Sealing Valley", he had already heard of its reputation as one of the top ten forbidden areas in the "East Phoenix Kingdom", so he specially reminded Song Qingming.

After traveling to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" world of immortality, Song Qingming had heard of the reputation of "Demon Sealing Valley" from many people over the years, and naturally the place name was still fresh in his memory.

In ancient times, because the power of the interface was relatively weak when this world first opened, many demons from the upper world took the opportunity to enter this world. At that time, there were powerful demon cultivators and high-level demons from the upper world everywhere in the five continents and seas of Huayang Realm. Monster.

One hundred thousand years ago, a group of sage monks came to Donghuang Immortal State. They spent tens of thousands of years slaying demons and clearing a pure land before creating the world of immortal cultivation in the human race's holy land of this state, "Donghuang Kingdom".

At that time, among the demonic cultivators who came from the lower realm, some were more difficult to deal with, and they still carried a lot of real demonic energy from the upper realm. Even if they were killed, they could not completely drive out the demonic aura from the opponent's body.

In order to seal and suppress the energy of these true demons and prevent them from spreading out and being used by other demon cultivators to continue to harm the world of immortality, many senior monks from the "East Phoenix Kingdom" world of immortality at that time gathered all the corpses of these ancient demons from the upper world. In one place, an ancient formation was set up to suppress the true demonic energy in their bodies.

This is also the origin of the famous "Demon Sealing Valley".

Since the establishment of the "Demon Sealed Valley", its area of ​​tens of thousands of miles has been affected by the true demon's energy and has become desolate and no longer suitable for ordinary mortals to live in. Therefore, it has also been classified as a "East Phoenix Kingdom" by the Immortal Cultivation World. Forbidden area, monks and mortals are prohibited from approaching there.

However, with the passage of time, most of the true demonic energy in the "Demon Sealing Valley" has been refined by the ancient formation, and the valley has slowly begun to become full of life, giving birth to many precious spiritual objects that are difficult to find outside. , and many powerful high-level monsters.

Therefore, many high-level monks began to bravely enter the valley to search for treasures and spiritual objects.

But after these people went in, some found precious spiritual objects and returned home with loads of them, and many people disappeared without knowing where they fell. Some even accidentally touched the seal of the ancient monks inside, and were contaminated by the leaked evil energy, thus falling into the evil path. man of.

Not only the righteous monks, but also the demonic monks hidden in the world of immortality, there are also many who heard the news and entered the "Demon Sealing Valley", hoping to find the true demonic energy of the upper world here to improve their own strength. .

Therefore, today's "Demon Sealing Valley" has long become a famous and dangerous place in the world of immortal cultivation in the "East Phoenix Kingdom". Although there are indeed many precious spiritual objects hidden in it, few monks usually dare to get close to it. one of them.

Seeing that Song Qingming's expression was a bit off when he heard "Demon Sealing Valley", Li Xuan had already expected it and quickly explained:

"Since Fellow Daoist Song also knows about the Demon Sealing Valley, I don't need to explain too much. After all, it is not a peaceful place. To say that there is no danger at all, even if I dare to say it, Fellow Daoist will definitely not believe it.

But please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Song, this time we are only going to the outer areas of the Demon-Sealed Valley and will not go deep into the core area of ​​the valley. Moreover, together with Fellow Daoist, we have a total of four Jindan monks traveling together, so the probability of success of this trip is still very high. High.

Since fellow Taoist is an accomplished Jindan monk, he should also know that our cultivation is not easy. If we want to find an opportunity in the world of cultivating immortals and cannot bear any risk, I am afraid it will be impossible. Fellow Taoists, please consider carefully. "

After hearing Li Xuan's words, Song Qingming was silent for a moment, and then asked: "I dare to ask my friend, except for you and me, what are the cultivation levels of the other fellow Taoists who are traveling with us?"

"There is also a fellow Taoist who has the same cultivation level as fellow Taoist Cui, and the other fellow Taoist Liang is a monk at the third level of the Golden Core. These two fellow Taoists are just like you and me, and they both have a corpse puppet with the strength of the Golden Core. Compared with ordinary monks of the same level, their strength is three points stronger."

"Fellow Daoist Li, this matter is a little rushed. Please allow me to think about it. How about you give me a reply in a few days?"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's natural. I and several other fellow Taoists have already agreed to leave in a month. If fellow Taoist Song has made up his mind, he can come to his inn to find me at any time.

If fellow Taoist don't want to go, please help me keep this matter a secret. Don't mention it to others. I'd like to thank you in advance. "After speaking, Li Xuan bowed to Song Qingming again.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, I'm definitely not a talkative person. I understand this!"

——

A month later, there was a hill dozens of miles outside Tianpupoufang.

Song Qingming and Li Xuan each sat on a stone. While they were meditating patiently with their eyes closed, two spiritual lights suddenly flew from the sky and landed directly next to Song Qingming. They transformed into a middle-aged man and a white-robed man. old man.

Seeing the two figures, Li Xuan, who was sitting beside him, immediately stepped forward with a smile and said hello, and introduced Song Qingming, who came over: "Fellow Daoist Song, these two are Ji Ping and Liang Daosheng who are traveling with us. Two fellow Taoists!”

"My Song San, I have met two Taoist friends!" Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately bowed to the two of them and announced his name.

A month ago, after Song Qingming was invited by Li Xuan to go to the "Demon Sealing Valley", he went back and thought about it for a while, and finally decided to agree to the other party and venture in with them to find the "Fire Spirit Water" that could cleanse the corpse.

Song Qingming now has no shortage of spiritual stone resources to cultivate "Golden Wind", but it is also due to the slow speed of refining spiritual objects that Song Qingming has not been able to quickly improve his cultivation level in these years.

When he learned from Li Xuan that he could change the method of refining the "Golden Wind" physique, he was also very excited. However, the "Demon Sealing Valley" the other party mentioned was indeed not a good place, which made Song Qingming hesitate for a long time.

But what Li Xuan said is right. The path of spiritual practice is inherently about opportunities and risks. If you want to get what you want, you sometimes need to take some risks.

Song Qingming has been practicing Taoism for so many years. Although he rarely takes the initiative to take risks, if he encounters an opportunity worth taking the risk, he will not back down easily.

The other two people invited by Li Xuan were also monks from casual cultivating backgrounds. Among them was a middle-aged man named Liang Daosheng, a third-level golden elixir man, whom Song Qingming had met before.

Liang Daosheng was the monk who bought the first golden elixir corpse puppet brought out by the "Tian Puppet Sect" for more than 40,000 spiritual stones at the "Tian Puppet Sect's" auction not long ago.

Not only that, before Liang Daosheng took the Golden Elixir "Corpse Puppet", he had already frequently taken several valuable high-level spiritual objects. The generosity of the purchases was completely beyond the average casual cultivator, and it also left Song Qingming with a lot of money. Made a deep impression.

The other long-bearded old man named Ji Ping is a veteran Jindan cultivator who is well-known nearby. His cultivation is at the fifth level of Jindan like Song Qingming.

However, although this old man's cultivation level is average, he is a very shrewd person at first glance. Song Qingming has practiced Taoism for so many years, and these veteran monks who are experienced in fighting have never dared to underestimate each other.

Compared with these two people, Li Xuan, the fourth-level Jindan monk who actively invited him to participate in the operation, gave Song Qingming a slightly more mysterious feeling. Song Qingming didn't need to guess to know that the other person's name was probably the same pseudonym as his own. .

Even his facial features, Song Qingming had always felt something was wrong since the first time he saw him. It was probably because he had used some special disguise method to change his appearance.

However, there are many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who will deliberately conceal their original identities for convenience when they are out, which is not a strange thing.

Including Song Qingming, he did not use his real name when dealing with them this time. This kind of thing is not surprising to everyone. Unless it is necessary, they will not deliberately expose each other.

The three people present, including Song Qingming, were actually invited by Li Xuan separately. Although they had met each other, they were not familiar with each other.

The four people got to know each other on the spot. After a few words of greeting, under Li Xuan's arrangement, everyone took the flying boat he took out and left the spot and went straight to the north.

"Demon Sealing Valley" is located in a large canyon in the north of Qingzhou.

The entire canyon is 20,000 to 30,000 miles in radius, which is twice as large as the entire Wei Kingdom. It is a place without human habitation. This is definitely worthy of its reputation as one of the ten forbidden places in the "East Phoenix Kingdom" cultivation world.

As a golden light flew over and stopped in the air, several figures appeared. Song Qingming and his four companions, who had been flying north for more than half a month, finally arrived at the edge of the "Demon Sealing Valley".

"Fellow Taoists, in order to prevent any danger, we can no longer use the flying boat to travel directly."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he directly put away the flying boat under his feet, and then took out a talisman and stuck it on himself, and then his whole figure disappeared directly in the air.

After hiding his figure, Li Xuan said hello to everyone, and then took the lead in walking in the air and escaping directly into the valley.

Seeing this, Liang Daosheng on the side immediately took out a red cloak and put it on himself. As he cast a spell quickly, his figure immediately turned into an invisible breeze and quickly followed.

Song Qingming and Cui Ping also took out a hidden body magic weapon respectively, covered their bodies, and followed closely behind.

Unlike other places around them, this "Demon Sealing Valley" is full of mountains, clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming, and it is completely different from the dangerous appearance in its name.

Although the scenery below is lush and looks like a rare paradise on earth, everyone knows very well that this seemingly peaceful surrounding may be hiding unimaginable dangers.

Unable to use the flying boat, and having to deliberately conceal their figures, the flying speed of several people has been reduced by more than half compared to before.

However, for Song Qingming and other people who come to hunt for treasures, as long as they can achieve their goals safely, it doesn't matter if they are slower.

Except for Li Xuan, the other three people were entering the "Demon Sealing Valley" for the first time, so everyone followed him closely all the way, and no one spoke up to make any comments.

After flying in the "Demon Sealing Valley" for another three days, Li Xuan finally led everyone to a mountain with a waterfall hanging hundreds of meters high.

"Daoyou Li, is the place you mentioned here?"

Seeing that Li Xuan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, Liang Daosheng, who was following him, hurriedly asked. (End of this chapter)
