The structure of Jiuding Alchemy Palace is completely different from that of Jinyufang and Zhenwu Pavilion. Every palace here is designed with the alchemy room as the core.
And the distance between palaces is huge,
Some are even separated by several mountain peaks.
Therefore, the entire Dan Palace appears to be very large.
Xia Ji's aquatic state has almost reached the limit of concealment. Apart from the slow movement speed and the restriction of the terrain, he has not found any shortcomings for the time being.
He observed among the mountains and temples,
Listening to the various conversations of many disciples coming and going,
Looking for opportunities to cut in.
Several more disciples walked past one side, and it looked like they were old disciples leading the new disciples.
"In two days, you can become a disciple. Don't blame your senior brother for not reminding you. Don't choose the one in the northernmost palace...the one where my uncle made alchemy...you know."
"Is it because of bad conduct?"
"What are you thinking? You must be a mess in practice."
The senior brother was immediately speechless and hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, that is Dan Chi, one of the five idiots on my abbot's island, but he is too crazy.
It is said that one time, he took his heir to a dangerous place for training. As a result, he suddenly remembered a recipe and was eager to come back to test it, so he forgot about his heir. As a result, his heir died.
Because of this, his Taoist companion also left him, but instead of being sad, he devoted himself even more crazily to alchemy. Every day and every night, he was an alchemy furnace when he woke up and an alchemy furnace when he slept. "
"Ah~~"
"No way."
"Then being his disciple is really risky."
A disciple asked hurriedly: "What do you call this Uncle Dan Chi?"
The senior brother said slowly: "Zuo Ci."
Xia Ji, who was flowing by his side, had a thought in his mind and followed the tributary to the north.
The disciples of Jiuding Dan Palace passed by him without anyone noticing.
…
…
The temperature is extremely high in the palace.
Even the boy fanning the fire has gone.
A thin Taoist with a stooped back and cloudy and cold eyes was sitting on the ground.
The lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, and there was a burning smell inside.
The Taoist's face was white and beardless, and he looked gentle and gentle. Even in front of the blazing fire, there was no blush on his face.
He stared coldly at the fire, and suddenly yelled crazily: "The fire is not warm enough!! Why?!"
After roaring, he fell back and fell to the hot ground in pain.
The heavy breathing gradually subsided.
The ferocious look on his face also returned,
Only a pair of ruthless eyes were left staring at the blackened dome.
"I will definitely practice it, I will definitely do it..."
He murmured in his mouth, then sat up suddenly, "Fire temperature, high temperature flame, fire calamity."
"Yes, Fire Tribulation."
There was a long silence.
A trace of determination flashed through his cold eyes, and he raised his hand, and the ink-colored flying sword hidden in the darkness shot out and followed him beside him.
A place of fire and danger, a dangerous place.
Don't go.
But had to go.
Taoists have to open the door,
The door was pushed open from the outside.
A black shadow swept in from the outside, and the door immediately closed tightly, revealing a man wrapped in a cloak, but his face was half-hidden by the hood, making it difficult to see clearly.
The person coming was naturally Xia Ji.
He said calmly: "Zuo Ci."
"Pretend to be a ghost," the Taoist said in a calm voice. He raised his hand and a strong wind flew out. However, when it landed around Xia Ji, it was like a stone sinking into the sea without even a single ripple.
As Zuo Ci's expression flashed, the flying sword was unsheathed.
An extremely fast flash,
Even in the Dharma Realm, this sword-drawing speed is unmatched by anyone.
It's so fast that even time seems to have been ignored.
But the person opposite him is faster,
The same flash.
Ding!
The speed of the two flashes was actually the same, and they met halfway.
Xia Ji felt a strange force coming from the opposite side.
However, no matter how strong this power is, it cannot be stronger than him.
Bang!
The sword in Zuo Ci's hand was shaken away, but the sword that should have flown out was still tightly held in his hand. It seemed that a great obsession and resentment were driving him, causing his palm to crack even if it was shattered. , even if the flesh and blood are flying, they still don’t let go.
The sword flashed.
There was already a trace of blood on Zuo Ci's neck, but instead of fear on the white-faced Taoist's face, there was a hint of relief. He lay down on his back, waiting for death.
But he didn't die. A strange coldness suddenly traveled to his neck and then to his hands.
With this icy swimming,
He felt the wound itching, his flesh and blood began to regenerate, and the injury began to recover.
After a short while, it was back to normal.
Xia Ji slowly raised his palm and used [Water Elements - Creation] on a person for the first time. The effect was pretty good. As long as the creature was not dead, he could use water to drive the creature to grow and recover from all injuries.
Even though Zuo Ci walked around before his death, his expression never changed, he never showed signs of shock, and he never shouted for help.
Xia Ji likes this kind of people very much, because such people have big obsessions deep in their hearts, and external things can no longer easily shake them.
He said bluntly: "I can give you fire."
Zuo Ci sat quietly.
A person who can enter the Jiuding Dan Palace silently, kill him with one move, and save him in an instant, his words cannot be false.
So he asked hoarsely, "What do you want?"
Xia Ji: "Your loyalty."
Zuo Ci laughed at himself: "I don't know who you are, how can I give you loyalty? Besides, I don't want to be bound by others in my life. Just kill me."
Xia Ji: "If you get something, you have to give something. Do you have an obsession, but do you want to die so much? Does your obsession not give you enough strength, but it becomes a torment that binds you?"
Zuo Ci: "You don't understand."
Xia Ji: "I understand."
Zuo Ci fell silent.
Xia Ji said: "I help you, and you help me."
After saying that, he turned his right hand, and a golden crystal ball containing immortal demonic fire suddenly emerged from his sleeve.
Finger into the crystal,
Drawing out a wisp of immortal demonic fire,
The demonic fire appears blue and white in color,
Being held by Xia Ji's fingertips,
Burning hot and silent.
Zuo Ci looked at the flames quietly, and suddenly he knelt down and said, "I am willing to give my loyalty."
Xia Ji mocked: "Are you waiting for the price?"
Zuo Ci said: "You have shown me the hope of becoming a real elixir, so I am willing. Whether you say you are waiting for the price or whether you say I am snobbish, I don't care."
Xia Ji looked at him quietly. The person in front of him had the same obsession as him. For this obsession, he could give up everything, give up his freedom, and give up his loyalty to the sect. This was something he misunderstood.
Zuo Ci quietly asked: "How can I show my loyalty?"
Xia Ji thought for a moment and realized that it was obviously inappropriate to recite Buddhist scriptures to a Taoist priest.
As for the five-color divine order, it is the highest masterpiece in the Death Soldier Token series.
Its first characteristic is that "as long as the expression is consistent, regardless of strength, it can be included in the token."
Its second characteristic is "the master is immortal. Even if the dead warrior dies, he can be resurrected tens of millions of years later. The only way to completely eliminate it is to kill the master. Then, the token and the dead warrior will be destroyed along with the master."
Its third characteristic is "Whenever a dead soldier is included in the token, his talent will be greatly enhanced. At the same time, he can inherit a certain proportion of the master's power, doubling his strength. According to Su Tian later, the increase is at most a percentage of the master's strength." Fifty".
Now is the beginning of the fire tribulation,
Most of the current eleven realms are subordinates or descendants of those nine.
So, when recruiting dead soldiers now, the selection is not actually about realm, but about talent, character, etc.
The five-color divine order can grant talents,
As for character, Xia Ji doesn't care much, as long as he's not the kind to do evil to the extreme.
The rest is obsession.
Obsession can make people desire to become stronger.
Therefore, Xia Ji asked: "Why do you want to make elixirs?"
Zuo Ci hesitated and said slowly: "Save my daughter."
"How long has she been dead?"
"ten years."
"Is refining alchemy useful?"
"Yes, I have found the ancient secret recipe, it will definitely work!" Zuo Ci said with certainty, rather than saying that he was convinced, it was better to say that he had to believe it.
Xia Ji talked with Su Tian and knew that the only way to save people was to go deep into the Six Paths of Jedi, and go to the edge of the underworld to bring people out before reincarnation.
And the Six Paths Jedi will become more and more terrifying as time goes by. Now the ghost messenger Yama is not at home, and various strange beings are still sleeping.
Otherwise, Su Linyu would never be brought out so easily.
Even so, it was only after beings like him and Su Tian spent a lot of strength and even life span that they could succeed. It would be impossible for others to do it even if they knew the method.
Even if they do, they will all be slapped to death by the black hand chasing them from the Jedi.
Xia Ji asked: "What if I can't be saved?"
Zuo Ci:…
Xia Ji said: "If you become stronger, you can go to Huangquan to bring her out."
"Is there any underworld?"
"have."
"She..." Zuo Ci's voice trembled a little, "Has she already gone to reincarnation?"
"Not yet, at least not in the next five hundred years."
Xia Ji glanced at him and suddenly said, "You can be my death warrior."
Immediately, he told the five-color token. If Zuo Ci was unwilling, he could only kill him.
However, Zuo Ci laughed a little crazily. He stood up suddenly and knelt on the ground, "I am willing to die."
Xia Ji took out the five-color token and suspended it in the air. "Put blood on the token with your fingertips and just obey in your heart."
Blood burst from Zuo Ci's fingertips, and he gently tapped the token in front of him.
There was a flash of light.
A strange connection has been made.
Xia Ji felt a little surprised in his heart. This five-color divine order was indeed the best magic weapon given by Su Tian. It not only had the function of a leather scroll contract, but also had many other properties.
Didi didi...
The leather scroll contract suddenly reacted.
It's Ji Xuan.
"Teacher, Su Tian is looking for you and seems to be in a hurry. I said you haven't come back yet."
"I see."
Another short while passed.
The leather scroll contract reacted again.
It's Hu Xian'er.
"Master, Su Daji showed up early. She said that regardless of the three-month appointment, if you don't show up, she will burn the palace. I think she can do it."
"I understand. If she asks again, just say that King Shenwu is on his way back on horseback."
"oh."
Xia Ji was speechless for a moment.
Su Daji and Su Tian had quite a tacit understanding, urging each other in such a hurry.
This gave him the feeling of "clearly he was still developing in the jungle, but he was suddenly called to a team fight."
He really wanted to reply, "I'll come after I finish this wave of wilds," but after thinking about it, "many groups were destroyed in the past life because of this sentence," so he made a decision.
"Is there a place for magic fire?"
"have."
Zuo Ci took out a black brazier made of unknown material from the storage space.
Xia Ji said: "The temperature is very high."
Zuo Ci: "No problem."
Xia Ji didn't say much, and directly introduced the fire of the immortal demon fire into it. He had five immortal demon fires, gave one, and there were four left. What's more, the Fire Tribulation Land at this time was his successor. The garden, given such immortal demonic fire, doesn't feel bad at all.
Xia Ji quickly ordered: "First, help me collect ancient books. The older the better. Don't ask whether they can be read or not, and don't care whether they are incomplete or not. As long as they are old, it will be fine."
"yes."
"Second, this flame is the immortal demonic fire in the Land of Fire Tribulation. It can promote the awakening of bloodline, but you must not let others know."
"Don't worry, I live here alone, and I will not accept disciples in the future."
"I have something urgent to deal with, so I'm leaving first."
"I don't know your name yet..."
Xia Ji did not say that although the five-color divine order had reached a complete contract, he was still not ready to say that this was not a matter of trust or distrust.
But once Zuo Ci in front of him knows, the judgment he makes when dealing with affairs in the future is likely to be further judged by interested people, and thus traced back to himself.
Zuo Ci was also a smart man, so he did not continue to ask.
Xia Ji turned around and went out. The moment the door closed, he had disappeared from Zuo Ci's perception.
This white-faced, thin, slightly stooped Taoist suddenly showed a touch of morbid fanaticism in his eyes.
He already felt that his strength had doubled,
And many unanswered questions in my mind are being quickly solved, which is a sign of improved talent.
a long time.
His sickly eyes slowly closed and he bowed deeply towards the door:
"Master, walk slowly."
…
…
Xia Ji once again crushed the "Dragon Travels Thousand Miles" presented by the "rich woman" and returned to Jinyufang in an instant.
At this time, Zhenwu Pavilion was even continuing to search for his whereabouts, but he had already completed the strategy for an additional "copy".
Quickly return to the manor where Taoist Jingming is located,
Entering the underworld transfer station,
He glanced around and didn't see Houtu.
So he quickly entered the secret room of the palace.
The harvest this time was huge,
The originally weak Tao Fa became his strongest strength in one fell swoop.
In addition, I still have more than ten ancient books from Zhenwu Pavilion that I have not read.
The secret room of the palace,
Xia Ji showed his figure,
He put his python robe back on and walked out.
As soon as he appeared,
Hu Xianer came running from a distance.
The one meter fox demon seemed to have endless grievances: "Master, you are finally back. Your mother..."
Xia Ji: "Don't talk about my mother first, where is Su Daji?"
Hu Xianer said: "I told her that you were on your way back on horseback, and she said to come back tonight."
Xia Ji: "What about my mother?"
Hu Xianer said: "She is making boiled fish."
evening…
Xia Ji saw a thousand plates of boiled fish.
Because Su Linyu's identity cannot be revealed, they can only handle the food, at most the loyal waitresses.
He, Xia Xiaosu, and Hu Xianer were sitting at the table, looking at the thousand plates of boiled fish.
The three of them fell into mysterious silence.
Xia Xiaosu said: "I have to deal with the memorial tonight, so I have to eat three plates."
Hu Xian'er: "I'll eat ten plates, no more."
Su Linyu glanced past the two of them faintly, and finally fell on Xia Ji, full of expectation.
Xia Ji gave her a strange look,
Mom, in this adventure, could it be that she not only has to make so much food, but also have others eat it
"Xiaoji, mother knows that she has done too much... but..."
"Stop talking, mother, I'll eat."
Xia Xiaosu:! ! !
Hu Xianer:! ! !
Xia Ji's current physical strength, energy and blood can completely digest all kinds of food. What is a mere nine hundred and eighty-seven plates of boiled fish
Until night falls,
The bright moon is in the sky,
A seductive figure appeared on the Jinluan Palace and raised his voice: "King Shenwu, if you don't come out, I will burn the palace to the ground!"
Xia Ji hasn't finished eating yet.
And he shouted vaguely: "The king is right here, come quickly."
