Mu Kui was very worried.
He didn't dare to look at Chen Xi, but he felt that he had done nothing wrong.
Previously, Chen Xi made a lot of noise about using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to open up the Zi Mansion, which attracted the attention of many great demons who were cultivating near Baoyue Mountain, so they all came to ask Mu Kui to introduce him to him.
These big demons all had a certain friendship with him, and they would usually get together to drink and talk about Taoism. Although they were not close friends, Mu Kui couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and come to see Chen Xi.
Of course, Mu Kui was still very excited.
He has been cultivating in Baoyue Mountain for thousands of years. Since he is alone and his cultivation is not as good as other big monsters, when the big monsters gather nearby, almost no one is willing to talk to him, and they just treat him as dispensable. Treated by colleagues.
Fortunately, now, as Chen Xi advanced to the Purple Mansion, these big monsters came to the door with all kinds of treasures, and started talking enthusiastically. Mu Kui was not only surprised, but also felt a sense of pride in his heart.
However, Mu Kui also clearly knew that if it weren't for Senior Chen Xi's presence, these vulgar people would probably still not look at him in the eyes.
"Okay." Chen Xi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He also wants to meet the big demons nearby. After all, these guys have been here all year round, and now they have become his "neighbors". Although they are not easy to make friends, they cannot be enemies, so it is still necessary to maintain a certain relationship with them. .
"Senior, you... agreed?" Mu Kui couldn't believe it and said in shock.
"Don't you want me to support you?" Chen Xi glanced at him and said, "It's just this time, it won't happen next time."
Mu Kui was moved and proud at the same time. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
There are green pines and green cypresses, waterfalls and flowing springs, misty haze, and cool breeze.
In this picturesque scenery, more than ten men and women in different clothes are talking and laughing loudly, some are lying under the green pines, some are squatting on the rocks, some are sitting on the ground in twos and threes, some are standing solemnly and proudly.
"Mukui is so lucky to be able to make friends with a strong person in the Purple Mansion Realm. We are really envious of him."
"Oh, it's just that we were very neglectful of him in the past. If I had known this, maybe I could be like him and listen to the teachings in front of that senior Chen Xi."
"Where do you think this senior Chen Xi came from? In the past thousand years, few human monks have set foot in our Southern Barbarian Mountains."
Various discussions were heard, and the hillside of Baoyue Mountain was already a lively scene.
"Hey, Mu Kui is here. Is the young man behind him the senior Chen Xi who just opened up the Zifu Taoist foundation?" Someone suddenly screamed.
brush!
The eyes of all the great demons were cast in the same direction.
I saw Mu Kui pacing behind a young man. The young man had a tall figure, a handsome face, and light and clear eyes. He seemed ordinary, but when he waved and moved, he seemed to be integrated with the world, showing his natural expression. A trace of extremely powerful aura.
God and Qi are combined, body and underworld are combined, it is indeed the realm of Zifu!
This time, all the great demons no longer had any doubts in their hearts, and they looked at Chen Xi with a hint of awe.
"I'm down here, Xiong Zhi of Lingjiu Mountain, pay my respects to Senior Chen Xi!"
"I'm here, Zhui Man, in Bixuan Cave. I'd like to pay my respects to Senior Chen Xi and congratulate him on his advancement to the Purple Mansion and laying the foundation of the great avenue!"
"At Xia Fengling Lake..."
The big demons came forward one by one and bowed to pay homage to Chen Xi. Their expressions and words were all extremely respectful.
In response to this, Chen Xi felt a little uncomfortable at first, but later he got used to it. He just nodded and secretly took note of the other party's name and appearance.
Moreover, Chen Xi discovered that these great demons were just like human monks, and they also paid attention to ranking according to seniority. For example, when they visited him, they followed the rules of coming forward in order from strongest to weakest.
Mu Kui had already prepared fine wine and fruits, found an open space among the pine trees, and arranged some futons and papers everywhere, and then invited Chen Xi and others to take a seat.
Of course, although the venue was simple and crude, Chen Xi was still greeted respectfully by the great demons and took the first place.
Mu Kui, on the other hand, sat unceremoniously on Chen Xi's right hand side and poured wine and fruits for Chen Xi diligently, just like a diligent servant. But this scene has attracted the envy of many great demons. If they didn't care about their status, they would also like to serve Chen Xi like Mu Kui.
Chen Xi couldn't help but be surprised. These monster beasts were all transformed into human beings. Why did they flatter him so much
For example, Lingjiu Mountain Xiong Zhen has the bloodline of the ancient beast Hercules. His status can be said to be extremely noble, and his strength is only one step away from opening up the Zi Mansion. It seems that he does not need to treat himself with such respect at all, right
"Senior, there is no need to worry. You are the only one here who is in the Purple Mansion Realm. Demon cultivators like us only believe in power. As long as the power is stronger than them, we are willing to let them be slaves."
Mu Kui beside him seemed to have noticed Chen Xi's doubts, and whispered, "Senior, just eat and drink. To say it best, they are forming a good relationship, and to say it worst, they are just familiar faces."
Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It seemed that no matter whether it was a monster or a human being, they could not escape the words "following the crowd".
Drinking and chatting, it was already dusk before I knew it.
"Senior, this is a kind of Qingling gourd that grows in my Bixuan Cave and it only takes a thousand years to bear fruit. It contains the universe. It can not only carry one hundred thousand kilograms of wine, but also has the dual properties of ice and fire. It can be used for drinking and can be chilled. , and it can be warm, I hope you can accept it."
At the end of the banquet, the great demon from Bixuan Cave came forward and respectfully presented a green gourd with a simple and natural shape, exuding a hint of green light.
"Senior, this is the Xuanlin fruit that I dug out deep in the great lake. It is of great benefit to the Pangu realm."
"My Jade Bone Ganoderma was bred from the molten core of the earth. It is made of flesh and white bones of the living dead. It has endless magical uses. Please accept it, senior."
These big demons seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and they took out some treasures and rare objects and stepped forward to offer tribute.
Chen Xi was stunned, but Mu Kui took advantage of this time to collect all the treasures, his expression was natural and not polite at all.
"Hmph, just take out some useless things."
Xiong Yan, who had been sitting upright on one side, suddenly snorted coldly, causing the other big demons to be stunned, and looked at Xiong Yan with gloomy eyes.
Hey, this guy is quite straightforward.
Chen Xi couldn't help but be surprised. The items taken out by these big demons before seemed to be novel and precious, but they were actually auxiliary items and did not benefit much in cultivation. What Xiong Yan said was true.
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Xiong, I'll express my thoughts to heaven, but it's not like you didn't take anything and only said some sarcastic words."
"That is, although you have the highest cultivation level among us, you deliberately sow discord when meeting Senior Chen Xi this time, and your intentions are extremely sinister."
"Do you think our things are useless? Well, Mr. Bear, you can come up with something useful to open our eyes?"
All the big demons pointed their fingers at Xiong Zhen, either with disdain or ridicule, full of gunpowder.
"Aren't you going to stop him?" Chen Xi glanced at Mu Kui, who was indifferent, and said through a message.
"This is Xiong Zhi's temperament. Stopping him will only make them all unhappy. Senior, just watch. Although Xiong Zhi speaks freely, since he dares to say such things, he must be prepared." Mu Kui He quickly sent a message to explain.
Sure enough, as Mu Kui said, Xiong Zhen turned a deaf ear to the cynicism and sarcasm around him. He drank the wine in one gulp and then stood up, with an extra treasure in his hand.
This object is like a slender and straight bamboo, two feet long, completely black, with a dull black luster. It does not seem to be outstanding in appearance, but as soon as it appears in the air, a chilling aura that makes people's hearts tremble quietly spreads out.
This is... All the big demons opened their eyes wide, looking in disbelief.
Chen Xi couldn't help but fixate his eyes on this dark bamboo. After entering the Purple Mansion, his spiritual power increased to a higher level, and he was extremely keenly aware that this dark bamboo seemed to contain terrifying and violent power. , like thunder from the sky, with a breath of destruction that makes people's hearts tremble.
"I wonder if this three-foot-long Geng-Gold Sword and Bamboo can penetrate your Dharma eyes?" Xiong Yan, who was as tall as a small hill, glanced around and asked coldly.
Geng Jin Jian Bamboo
Hearing this name, all the demons present took a deep breath, and looked at the dark bamboo with endless burning greed in their eyes.
It turns out to be Gengjin Jianzhu!
When Chen Xi suddenly realized this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shock in his heart.
As the name suggests, Gengjin Sword Bamboo is a natural spiritual creature with dual attributes of gold and wood, and its stem is as sharp as a sword. It is a rare thing in the world. It only grows one inch every hundred years, and then it has been struck by thunder. If it can resist it and survive, it will go through It takes a hundred years to grow an inch. However, the vast majority of Geng Jin Sword Bamboo were destroyed by thunder as soon as they sprouted, and not one in ten thousand could survive safely.
For example, the Geng-Gold Sword Bamboo in Xiong Zang's hand has probably survived for three thousand years. It must have experienced no less than ten thunder attacks. And it has survived so many thunders. One can imagine how hard this Geng-Gold Sword Bamboo has reached. It's terrifying.
"Senior, please accept it!"
Xiong Zhen stepped forward and gave the golden sword and bamboo in his hand to each other.
All the great monsters looked at this scene in a daze, and they could not even think of why Xiong Zan would give such a precious treasure to Chen Xi.
Mu Kui was also very excited and wanted to accept it for Chen Xi, but Chen Xi stopped him and said decisively: "This thing is too valuable, please take it back, Fellow Taoist Xiong."
"This thing is useless in my hands. It is a pity to throw it away if it is tasteless. Only in the hands of seniors can it exert its power." However, Xiong Zhen insisted on giving it to him and refused to compromise.
"Do you have something to ask of me?" Chen Xi asked suddenly after a long silence, his eyes fixed on Xiong Yan's face.
Xiong Zan didn't seem to be surprised, and said firmly: "Yes, I, old Xiong, have nothing else to ask for in my life. I only ask senior to help me kill the Black Ape King of Kongshui Cave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Kill my king? On the big tree in the distance, a white-feathered spiritual bird suddenly shrank its pupils, flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
