"If 'Old Man Long Jiao' has such a character, then he must die!"
Li Yan thought in his heart.
When Xingming said this, he paused and looked at Li Yan seriously.
"However, I will be the one to handle this matter from now on. If you need me to help, please help me."
Xingming slowly told what he knew and decided to deal with this person himself.
However, he himself was not very confident in dealing with a poison cultivator like "Old Man Long Jiao", so it would be better to join forces with Zhang Ming. What he had to do now was to find the other party.
Then, the two called Su Yuan in and had a detailed discussion about the "Holy Demon Palace" transaction.
After Su Yuan left, it was a rare opportunity for Xing Ming to appear here. Li Yan certainly would not miss any opportunity, so he asked Xing Ming for advice on some matters regarding cultivation.
The other party is a veteran Jindan cultivator. Now that Li Yan has revealed some of his cards, he can ask many questions with fewer concerns.
After the conversation, Li Yan indeed gained a lot. The fact that Xingming had been immersed in the Golden Core Stage for hundreds of years was not in vain.
As for the Star Moth, it will answer every question. It will give detailed answers to those it knows, and will also make some guesses after thinking about those it doesn't know.
He was becoming more and more satisfied with Elder Zhang, and naturally his mood became very happy, which he did not hide at all.
Li Yan could also see that the other party did not answer his questions perfunctorily, but only gave his opinions after careful consideration.
Many problems that had been bothering him suddenly became clear, and he felt a sense of relief as if everything was clear to him. This is the difference between having someone to teach you and having no one to teach you.
At the same time, Xingming also discovered that Zhang Ming's knowledge was quite extraordinary, and was definitely not comparable to those cultivators from small sects.
Sometimes I only need to mention a little bit and Zhang Ming can immediately draw inferences about other things. Some of the directions he mentioned were things that even Xing Ming himself had never thought of.
It can even bring some insights and reflections to Star Moth.
Zhang Mingguang's knowledge was something a cultivator from a small sect could not possibly possess. Although the other party's actual age was never made clear, he could guess that Zhang Ming was definitely not over a hundred years old.
Moreover, some of the things that Xingming himself said were not from the inheritance of "Falling Star Valley", but from what he saw and heard and his experiences when he was training outside.
This is a combination of the strengths of hundreds of schools.
"His great master is definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul senior. He must be from a big sect, at least a first-rate sect, or even a super sect.
Otherwise, considering that Zhang Ming has just entered the Golden Core Realm, how could he have such a wide range of knowledge? "
Xingming had a new understanding of Li Yan in his heart. Of course, this was only after Li Yan gave up some of his privacy.
… …
Five months later, in a side room of a hall in the outer courtyard of the "Holy Demon Palace", Li Yan was sitting opposite a handsome and elegant middle-aged monk with a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the quality of the elixir this time is quite good, much higher than the last time. It will be no problem if you send it at this level in the future."
The handsome middle-aged monk said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, all of this is possible thanks to your support. On behalf of the sect, I would like to thank you!"
Li Yan said with a smile that the cultivator named Chu opposite was the one who was responsible for collecting low-level elixirs, raw materials and some magic weapons in the "Holy Demon Palace".
This was Li Yan’s third visit. “Falling Star Valley” had officially completed its first transaction with “Holy Demon Palace” three months ago.
"Every time I see these demon monks, I have to admire their excellent bloodlines, and every one of them has an excellent appearance!"
Even now, every time I reach the main peak and enter the "Holy Demon Palace", my eyes will be brightened. Along the way, I see handsome men and beautiful women walking between heaven and earth.
The whole world here becomes pleasing to the eye, making people feel happy involuntarily, which makes Li Yan marvel.
After discussing with Xing Ming that time, Li Yan said that he would stay here for a while to avoid any accidents.
Xing Ming did not have much objection to this. In fact, he knew in his heart that Li Yan was so concerned about this matter, there must be other hidden reasons, and it was most likely related to his master.
But what does this have to do with him? As long as it is beneficial to the sect, he will not make Zhang Ming unhappy.
So, he told Li Yan that if he had any problems, he could ask the sect disciples to handle them directly, or he could send a message to him, and then he left.
Li Yan was also urging Su Yuan to hurry up and complete the connection with the "Holy Demon Palace" while inquiring about the news of the "Ghost Dragon Clan".
At the same time, he would receive messages from Xing Ming every once in a while, which were basically about the recent news of the "Ghost Dragon Clan". Xing Ming also attached great importance to this matter.
After "Old Man Long Jiao" and Xi Ye went into seclusion in the sect, they have not come out since, and there are as many as five places where they may have been in seclusion.
Each place is the most strictly guarded area of the "Ghost Dragon Clan", and it is extremely secretive. The specific situation is still being investigated.
In this regard, Xing Ming also roughly mentioned a few locations. Li Yan used the "Sky Stealing Cap" to sneak into the Ghost Dragon Clan again, but was unable to find the aura of the formation fluctuations.
This left him with the ability to "steal the handkerchief from heaven" but without knowing where to start.
Li Yan even suspected that the other party had entered the underground. If there was no formation set up on the surface, but only underground, it would be much more difficult to sense the breath alone.
When others activated the sect protection formation, Li Yan did not dare to use his spiritual sense to the fullest.
Under such circumstances, Su Yuan on the other side finally completed the docking with the "Holy Demon Palace" after two months.
The reason why it took so long was that two batches of the pills ordered by the "Holy Demon Palace" and the "Ghost Dragon Clan" had not yet been delivered, and the deposit had already been paid. The "Ghost Dragon Clan" did not jump out to make comments, but after delivering the second batch of pills, there was no news.
In the side hall, the demon cultivator surnamed Chu saw that Elder Zhang was still respectful to him and did not become careless as their relationship became more and more familiar. In his heart, he also praised the other party's way of dealing with people and things.
When this Elder Zhang first traded with him, he secretly gave him two ordinary-looking pills, saying that they were personal gifts from him.
He also stated that this was a poisonous pill, which would have no problem dealing with cultivators at the Golden Core stage, but he just couldn't refine an antidote, so this was a real pity.
Naturally, the matter of the poisonous battle between "Falling Star Valley" and "Ghost Dragon Clan" could not be hidden from the cultivator named Chu.
He also heard that this Elder Zhang fought against three Jindan on his own, and in the end Jiao Wuxing was killed in a very miserable way, with even his magic core turning into a pool of green liquid.
Even the "Ghost Dragon Old Man" who he thought was particularly difficult to deal with has not come out yet and all news about him has been lost.
It can be seen how vicious the poison pill of Elder Zhang is. Seeing that the other party was so generous and gave a big gift in the first transaction, the cultivator named Chu couldn't help but feel happy.
According to Zhang Ming, this pill is at least as good as the poison pill that caused the defeat of "Old Man Long Jiao", so he accepted it without hesitation.
Afterwards, the cultivator named Chu immediately came to the palace prison. After spending some spirit stones, he asked the guard to find a Black Demon clan prisoner in the Jindan stage.
Then he carefully scraped off some powder from a pill, quietly mixed it into the food and fed it to the Black Demon prisoner.
What made him overjoyed was that the Black Demon prisoner choked to death with his hands on his throat a quarter of an hour later.
This symptom seemed similar to what he had heard when the "Ghost Dragon Clan" attacked at night to fight, except that his whole body did not turn into petrification. Instead, after death, it quickly turned into a pool of dirty water.
You must know that the Black Demon monk was trapped because of the restrictions in the cage. His scapula that runs through his tendons was locked, so he couldn't use his magic power.
But his magical power still existed, and even so it did not hinder him for more than a quarter of an hour.
For this reason, the cultivator surnamed Chu had to spend a considerable amount of money to settle the matter.
Although all the death row prisoners imprisoned in the palace prison are doomed to die, they still have some value.
This type of cultivator often has the means to seal their own souls. If you forcibly search their souls, it is very likely that you will get nothing in the end.
Although this method is rare, it can be done by spies from the Black Demon Clan. Their souls have often been tampered with by cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage.
The purpose is to prevent them from being searched for their souls, so they can be kept alive temporarily and occasionally offered a delicious meal.
Normally speaking, things like food are of no significance to the monks, but they are all death row prisoners and they know that their future is likely to be dangerous.
Therefore, as long as delicious food is served to them, they will eat it to satisfy their appetite and enjoy themselves for the moment. They are not afraid at all that the other party may tamper with the food.
If the White Demons wanted to kill them, there are hundreds of ways to do it at any time, but this time the cultivator named Chu tampered with the food and caused the prisoner to die prematurely.
The deacon in charge of the cell was also held responsible for this sudden death.
But after the cultivator surnamed Chu spent another sum of spirit stones, the matter ended with the Black Demon Clan's death row prisoner suddenly becoming mentally disturbed, and dying in madness with his whole body festering.
Although he lost a large amount of spirit stones, this incident made the cultivator surnamed Chu even happier. The effect of the poison pill was unexpectedly good.
Besides, he doesn't really need an antidote. He will only use these poison pills to save his life and kill people.
As a result, he felt more and more compatible with Elder Zhang of "Falling Star Valley".
"No need to say more polite words. The last time I talked with Daoist Fellow, Daoist Fellow Zhang, some of the human cultivation methods he talked about also broadened my horizons. Hehe..."
Ever since he confirmed that the poison pill Zhang Ming gave him was extremely effective, the relationship between the cultivator surnamed Chu and Li Yan has taken a step further.
Some of the information is secret to outsiders, but it is common information for the monks of the "Holy Demon Palace", and he can occasionally reveal some of it in conversation.
During the second chat, the two naturally talked about martial arts, which was the most common communication between cultivators.
Occasionally, there would be some private transactions mixed in, such as bartering, buying the other party's unused refining and alchemy materials, etc.
However, what cultivators like most is discussing the Dao. They will raise some of the problems they have encountered in their cultivation to see if they can get some inspiration from others.
Often a random word from the other person can make you realize something.
But it is also common among cultivators to be selfish and self-centered. If you only want to gain cultivation experience from others without giving anything yourself, then you only have one chance and others will immediately stay away from you.
During the conversation between cultivator surnamed Chu and Li Yan, what he didn't expect was that, as a cultivator in the alchemy sect, this Elder Zhang was actually also a good physical cultivator.
They, the demon cultivators, were originally from the physical cultivation lineage, and the two of them felt that they were having a very pleasant conversation as they chatted.
So when they met Li Yan again this time, after exchanging a few pleasantries, the two naturally talked about martial arts again.
After chatting for a while, Li Yan said casually.
“Although there are many kinds of body-refining techniques in the world, the human race has inherent deficiencies compared to the demon race, and your race is born with strong blood.
Even if you practice ordinary body-refining methods, they will be far superior to the physical cultivation of our human race.
Although there are some people with special physiques among the human race, those who possess innate high-quality blood and physique are extremely rare.
This kind of people are the envy of body refiners like me. Not only are they incredibly fast, but the power they exert is also extremely enviable."
Li Yan felt that he could try his plan today.
