Chapter 480: The demon tribe is in seclusion and has a long conversation
Chapter 480: The demon tribe is in seclusion and has a long conversation
After handing Xueyu and his little disciple over to the care of the old bird demon, Wang Yu did not stay in the Ancient Beast Ancestral God Mountain for long, but went directly to the current palace of the Northern Demon Saint Lord.
This is a giant palace complex that was built only in recent years. Taking into account the size of the demon race's true bodies, the buildings constructed are often very tall and rough.
At the very core is a small palace that can only be entered by the fourth-level transformed monsters. It is exquisite and luxurious, with a strong human style.
When Wang Yu descended on his flying beam, several demon servants with the blood of the medicinal horned deer had been waiting for a long time.
These demon servants are special creatures made from human bodies and the secret method of refining demon blood. The original intention was to create a cheap and easy-to-use creature weapon.
Ultimately, it failed and became a means of serving foreign guests.
Therefore, the appearance has been specially adjusted.
From the visual point of view, it is in line with the aesthetic of the human race, but it is a bit too rigid, similar to some kind of flesh and blood puppet, but it has a certain intelligence.
"Master Jifa Demon Lord, the master has been waiting for a long time."
"lead the way."
Passing through the corridor bridges, gardens, and palaces, we went straight into the core area, where we met the Five-Colored Saint Lord, who we had communicated with from afar many years ago during the treasure exchange meeting.
He is sitting high on the holy throne, waiting for Wang Yu's arrival.
Many years have passed, and time has brought very little change. He greeted Wang Yu kindly and walked down from the throne.
Said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Wang.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and you are even more charming than before~"
Addressing him as fellow Taoist is obviously a way of elevating Wang Yu. After all, no matter in terms of age or strength, calling him "young friend" is already a sign of respect.
He was lifted to the Taoist's position, obviously because he knew that his alchemy skills had made another breakthrough.
"Holy Lord, you are too kind to me. These are just some achievements. They are not worth mentioning in front of you."
Wang Yu is very thick-skinned and can praise people without thinking.
As for what achievements the other party had made? That was not important at all. Such tactful bragging to each other was undoubtedly a symbol of friendship.
Both felt more confident about the conversation that was to follow.
"Take a seat first. King Tianpeng, Monkey, and Old Dog will be here soon."
The monkey and the old dog refer to the King of Truth and the Shadow Mastiff King.
They are all members of one of the eight major demon tribes in the north. It was King Tianpeng who sent them to help in the hunting down of the Nine Evil Sword Lord. They have a good relationship with Wang Yu.
There were no mistakes during the cooperation and the results were satisfactory. The Five-Colored Saint invited these people over, obviously intending to take advantage of this friendship.
Wang Yu felt that he came for the promise of alchemy.
It doesn't matter.
Coming to the demon clan for retreat is only one of the purposes. Cooperation in alchemy is the second purpose, which can be easily achieved. There is also a third purpose... that is the demon lord who is behind the northern demon clan.
If possible, he hopes to meet him in person.
But the old bird demon's attitude before made him understand that it would be better not to bring up this topic rashly, otherwise it would easily backfire.
Don’t let yourself be unable to find support and end up in conflict with the northern demon tribe.
If you can't show yourself in front of others, it means there is something wrong with you.
Or maybe he has some unspeakable hidden illness. In any case, it is not a topic that is easy to touch upon casually, regarding the grudge against Master Chi Tian.
He was still a little worried, but the pressure was not as great as the survival pressure he faced when he faced the spirit slave manager, so he was neither anxious nor slow.
as time flows.
A banquet with demon-style dishes quickly unfolded. Dishes taller than humans were placed in the hall. Among them was an extremely rare and delicious demon beast - the fragrant pig!
The skin is crispy and the food is tender and juicy.
Bright red color, hot rising steam.
Served with dipping sauce and fine wine, and with servants proficient in music playing various instruments and singing, the whole set of services is no less enjoyable than a human banquet.
There was just another kind of service that was not available, which was not in line with human habits. Wang Yu tasted a few bites casually, his mind was on the subsequent conversation.
He didn't have to wait too long. The old monkey and the Mastiff King got the news and hurried over. Their eyes lit up when they saw Wang Yu, but they still greeted the Five Colors Holy Lord before coming over.
"Brother Wang, you are amazing. I'm afraid there are only a handful of Red Kite monks who can rival you."
These words were naturally said by the old monkey. The Mastiff King is more introverted, or in other words, he is the type of person who is aloof and reserved. He prefers others to praise him rather than praising others.
After the greetings were over, the Five-Colored Saint Lord waited for a while.
Then he clapped his hands and asked the outsiders to leave.
Get straight to the point of the meeting with your eyes.
The old monkey took the lead in testing.
"Brother Wang, when we hunted down that Nascent Soul Demon Lord, you promised to give me and the Mastiff King free pills once. I wonder if this promise is still valid."
"Of course. Wang always keeps his word. Everyone in Chiyuan knows his reputation for honesty. How could he go back on his word?"
Wang Yu readily agreed to this, knowing what was going on.
It should be that the Five Colors Saint Lord wanted to take the opportunity to test whether his alchemy skills have really reached the fourth-grade level as the Third Master said.
Testing with words is too blunt and a bit embarrassing.
He simply let the old monkey test the waters by using favors. If subsequent cooperation is achieved, he will compensate the old monkey for the opportunity to make elixirs for free.
King Zhenyan took out an ancient scroll and said.
"This pill recipe is called [Nine-turn Word Spirit Pill] and is of the fourth-grade quality. It can greatly assist the old monkey's practice. The corresponding materials have been collected, Brother Wang..."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Wang Yu accepted the temptation and turned to look at the Mastiff King.
"Why not bring King Mastiff along as well? Let Wang repay both favors at once."
"Alright."
The Shadow Mastiff King also took out an ancient scroll that recorded the recipe for the elixir. This type of recipe not only had detailed records of the ingredients, heat, pharmacological explanation, etc., but also the time when the elixir was added.
It is easier to understand than the "ordinary pill recipe" that simply records the proportions of ingredients, but it also contains a lot of corresponding professional terms.
For example, the processing method of recording a certain elixir is that it rolls three times in the fire, and the fireflies dance in the sky and merge into the spirits of the earth, then it can be used as medicine.
It is talking about a certain technique in alchemy.
It is called Tiandi Moxing, and is specially used to melt elixirs with hard shells.
The elixir that the Mastiff King wants is also of the fourth level.
It is called [Netherworld Heavenly Demon Pill].
Wang Yu wanted to demonstrate his alchemy skills in order to increase his voice and the standard of alchemy charges in future cooperation.
After borrowing an alchemy room, he went inside to practice alchemy in seclusion.
According to his personality, he would not spend all his time on alchemy. Basically, after completing all the processes, he would only supervise by using the method of spiritual differentiation.
Place it in the Taihe Blood Cauldron and slowly nourish it with the Ice Chi Dan Flame. It would be enough to refine one furnace a year. Any more would affect his practice.
Even the fire refining method, which is famous for its speed, takes longer and longer to refine high-level elixirs. It is no longer like before, when it could be refined in a few days or more than ten days. In contrast, Wang Yu is refining second- and third-level elixirs.
In fact, a lot of them can be refined in batches, especially the refining method of Blood Pill Dao, which is most suitable for batch refining.
When he attacked the Biyun Sect's team, he originally wanted to refine those elite monks into blood pills, exchange them for military merits when he returned to Chiyuan in the future, and then exchange them for a Blood Demon Medicine King to try out the taste.
It's a pity that this plan was not achieved, but the impact is not that great.
Through other means, he can still accumulate high-end resources for himself, and the eight Qiankun rings he obtained that time were all high-end products.
There are thousands of top-grade spirit stones in there alone.
This greatly expanded Wang Yu's resource base. You should know that the fourth-grade top-grade magic weapon, the Blood Skull Demon Sword, which was auctioned at the Yama Ghost Market that year, was only worth fifty spirit stones.
Although the price in the ghost market is lower than that in normal channels.
However, it also shows that the resources in Wang Yu's hands have exceeded those of most late Nascent Soul cultivators, and are enough to buy fifth-tier spiritual treasures.
Plus his already considerable family background.
According to conservative estimates, the total value of the resources is close to two thousand top-grade spirit stones, and Wang Yu’s demand for high-level Yin-cold treasures is also enormous.
The consumption in all aspects is not low, and the best way is to spend while earning.
Just when he was in seclusion making elixirs.
At the place where the banquet was just held, the Five Colors Saint Lord was conversing with the two demons, the Truth King and the Mastiff King.
"Do you think this person can be trusted?"
Upon hearing this, the old monkey glanced at the stiff body of the Mastiff King.
He nodded.
“It can be trusted. Some time ago, news came from the Endless Icefield that the Holy Lord’s Heavenly Palace will be opened in a hundred years. The Southern Demon should be preparing to collect the Holy Orders.
"With Wang Yu's help, our Bei Yao's strength will be greatly improved in the next hundred years, and our competitiveness in entering the Heavenly Palace will be even stronger by then."
King Zhenyan not only chose to trust Wang Yu, but also listed the benefits, which was actually helping Wang Yu increase his bargaining chips.
Before the Five-Color Saint Lord became the King of the Northern Demons, he was already quite famous.
He has a large number of demon cultivators with weak bloodlines under his command, but if you think that he will sympathize with the weak, you are totally wrong.
The intensity of competition within the demon clan is no less than that within the Red Kite Demon Clan.
There was a hidden story behind the fight for the position of the Holy Lord back then, otherwise the most popular King Tianpeng would not have succeeded, and the King Leilin, who wielded the destructive thunder, would not have succeeded either.
Although the Fire Crow King was an alien species, his failure was actually known to the demon world. Instead, it was only the "benevolent" Five-Colored Deer King who ascended to the throne of the Holy Lord.
The external explanation is that the Five-Colored Deer's holy name is good for the unity of the demon clan and can change their past evil habits of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. However, the demon clan is more realistic than the magic cultivators.
They are not the righteous group of hypocrites who deceive the world and steal their reputation.
"Name" is too vague and untenable for the demon race. Only after a battle can it be determined who will be the Holy Lord.
Reality does not lie. The true face of the Five-Colored Holy Lord is not the benevolent virtue praised by both humans and demons. Instead, he hides the coldness and ruthlessness of the abyss.
The reaction of the Mastiff King is also one of the evidences.
"Is this so..."
Hearing what the King of Truth said, the Five-Color Saint Lord smiled gently and said, "Since it is valuable, when the envoy of the Green Cloud Sect comes, you, the old monkey, will hold him back."
"When the Holy Lord's Heavenly Palace opens this time, this Holy Lord will personally enter the Heavenly Palace to welcome back the Venerable Azure Dragon!"
The information revealed by the Five-Colored Holy Lord is very shocking.
It turned out that the Northland Demon Clan did not retreat deep into their clan territory to heal their wounds, but went to the Heavenly Palace Treasury built by the Ice Phoenix Saint Lord.
No wonder over the years, the demon kings of the upper four clans and the lower eight clans have never received a response from Venerable Azure Dragon.
The Five-Colored Deer ascended to the position of the Holy Lord, in fact, partly because the other demon kings suspected that Venerable Azure Dragon was seriously injured and passed away, so they were eager to choose a new leader.
In the field, King Zhenyan and King Ao quickly lowered their heads.
Everyone pretended not to hear the shocking words of the Five-Colored Saint Lord, and soon after, just half a month passed.
A seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator from the Biyun Sect, with white pupils and purple hair, exuding an evil aura, officially arrived at the core territory of the Northern Demon Clan.
He is the Soul Master mentioned by Patriarch Huang Yun!
He practices pure spiritual and mental skills, not cultivating magic power but soul power. All his strength is based on a strong soul. Even if he dies, he can immediately be transformed into a ghost cultivator.
This ghost path is different from the techniques of controlling and swallowing ghosts on the Five Yin Peaks.
Instead, they transform themselves into soul bodies, abandoning their physical bodies to focus on cultivating soul power. It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a divine general beside an immortal who was a pure soul body.
But he can eat, drink, run and jump.
The physiological reaction is no different from that of a living body, which is one of the manifestations of the profound practice of the way of ghost immortals, compared with the branch practice school of body cultivators.
The Ghost Immortal Path is a niche among niches. Unless a normal person is born with physical defects, he or she will never take this path.
The Ghost Immortal's combat effectiveness in the early stage is worrying and it has obvious weaknesses.
The condition improved only after the soul infant was condensed.
However, his fighting ability is still not as good as that of cultivators from other paths. His only aspect of perception is that he is the best in the world and can sense all abnormal fluctuations in space.
The arrival of Soul Yuanjun was obviously to ask for Wang Yu.
He soon had a "fierce" quarrel with the King of Truth who was receiving him. The quarrel was mainly caused by the scolding from the Soul Spirit Yuanjun, while the King of Truth seemed to be practicing a silent meditation.
He just said a few words back and forth, and spoke very slowly.
It's mental torture.
This will be an unsolvable cycle that will last for many years until the Soul Master gives up.
And so it goes...two years later.
In the alchemy room where Wang Yu was in seclusion, a cloud of elixir with an extremely strange fragrance floated out. Under his deliberate control, the scene was filled with strange phenomena.
Nearly half of the core palace complex was shrouded in red clouds.
A large number of transformed monsters walked out of the cave and looked at the source of the Danyun in astonishment. When they found that the Five-Colored Saint Lord was standing there, they turned their heads away and stopped looking.
Just taking a few deep breaths of the fragrance of the elixir, I felt refreshed.
"Holy Lord."
Wang Yu pushed open the door and saw the Five-Colored Saint Lord waiting there. Not seeing the Old Monkey and the Mastiff King nearby, he handed the two small pill bottles to them.
A fourth-grade top-grade elixir, three pills in a bottle, almost in perfect condition.
By the way, the side effects of the Blood Infant Pill were mostly alleviated.
In another one or two years, he will be able to break through the sixth level of Nascent Soul. His strength is steadily improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. After the Five-Color Saint Lord checked the status of the elixir.
His expression became more sincere, and he took Wang Yu's hand enthusiastically.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Wang. King Tianpeng has prepared a banquet. By the way, I, the Holy Lord, on behalf of the Northern Demon Clan, also have a business to discuss with you."
Wang Yu naturally followed the advice.
"Given our friendship, Saint Lord, please don't be polite. Wang has always been fair in refining pills. I will refine one natural treasure of the same level and quality at a time, and the properties will be determined by me."
