Wen Qiao and the others stayed on the city wall for one night.
It's already dawn, but the sky doesn't have a trace of dawn. It's still dark and covered by clouds, as if the whole world is plunged into darkness.
According to what Jing Jue said earlier, during the tide of soul beasts, it would be nice to have two hours of light in a day, both of which are at noon. Because noon is the time when the sun is the strongest and the yang energy is at its peak, so he somewhat restrains the spirit beast.
After leaving the city wall, they returned to the inn.
Last night was the first night when the wave of soul beasts arrived. The battle was not fierce, and nothing was lost. Sky Array City did not force the cultivators in the city to defend the city, and they were free to act.
Although Jing Jue traveled with them, he did not live in the inn, but rented a house near the inn with some practitioners, which could save a lot of money.
Wen Qiao and the others were not surprised, Jing Jue's downcast appearance clearly told others that this disciple of the Yuhun family is very poor now, so poor that he can only squeeze in those cheap houses with other people. In contrast, Wen Qiao and the others who can afford to live in a small inn are considered local tyrants.
After saying goodbye to Jing Jue, Wen Qiao and the others returned to the inn.
Ning Yuzhou and his son were sitting in the inn, waiting for them to come back.
Seeing them, Ning Jichen asked, "Are you alright?"
"No, it's pretty good." Shi Wuming said with a smile, "I met an interesting person."
The person he said was interesting made You inexplicably feel that that person was probably very strange, probably because Shi Wuming was usually a fool, but he seldom lost the chain at critical moments, so they could more or less figure out his way.
"Who?" Ning Jichen asked curiously.
Shi Wuming looked at Ning Yuzhou, and said with a smile: "His name is Jing Jue, and it is said that he is a member of the soul-controlling family. This family of soul-controlling should be related to soul beasts. He came to Tianzhen City this time to take advantage of the sky. Protected by the king-level defensive array of the formation city, it captures suitable soul beasts and refines them into life-like soul beasts."
Ning Jichen was slightly taken aback, "Is there anyone who can tame the soul beast for his own use?"
"Naturally." Ning Yuzhou said with a smile, "This has something to do with the physique of the practitioner. Presumably, Jing Jue should be a kind of yin body, and he practices a kind of soul-controlling technique. It seems that the Jing family should be a A family born of soul beasts."
Listening to his explanation, everyone felt that it was much easier to understand.
Wen Qiao said thoughtfully: "From this point of view, the Jing family is indeed an ancient family in the Soul Beast Continent."
At this time, Wen Tutu took out a box and handed it to Ning Jichen, "Uncle Ning, these are the soul beads we got from killing the soul beasts last night. There are too many soul beasts, and they rush forward one after another, as if they can't finish killing them all. Killing one after another, there are so many soul beads that we can't get them back in time."
When killing soul beasts, some cultivators would conveniently collect the dropped soul beads and sell them to alchemists.
However, there is a wave of soul beasts in the Soul Beast Continent every ten years. There are too many soul beasts in the soul beast wave, and the number of soul beads is worthless. Alchemists do not lack these. Only those high-level soul beads can be sold. Pay a high price. However, high-level soul beads are very difficult to obtain. After all, high-level soul beasts only appear later, and their combat power is very high. It is not easy to kill them.
Last night was the beginning of the wave of soul beasts. The strength of the incoming soul beasts was not high, but the number was relatively large, which made one's scalp tingle, but there were no high-strength ones. They only needed Yuan Zongjing to suppress the field .
These were specially picked by Wen Tutu, and brought back for Ning Jichen to practice.
Soul beads can be used to refine soul beads and soul pills, but soul beads are not easy to refine, the success rate is extremely low, and the human world lacks many auxiliary materials, so it is impossible to easily refine soul beads. On the other hand, Yunhun Pill is easy to refine, and there are materials needed for Yunyun Pill in the space, which can be used for Ning Jichen to practice.
After talking for a while, they went to rest.
Now is the initial stage of the soul beast wave, the incoming soul beasts are not of high level, and the cultivators in the city are not in a hurry. When high-level soul beasts appear in the later stage, that is the time for all cultivators to prepare for it.
Then Ning Jichen continued to make alchemy, and Wen Qiao and the others entered the space to help build a house.
They poured the purchased materials out of the storage bags and piled them on the open space.
The rattan house has fallen apart. After they decided to build a house, they moved the contents of the rattan house. Wen Qiao asked the stone golden python to put the rattan house away, and then transplanted the stone golden python rattan into a mountain to let it stand in the mountains. This mountain dominates and grows freely.
Ning Yuzhou spread out the designed house design drawings and asked them to build according to the design drawings.
Shi Wuming took a look and said, "It's quite similar to the Qiankun cave you built earlier."
Wen Tutu was not picky about the house he lived in, so he took a casual look, then went to the side to process the materials, and directly refined those that needed to be refined, which would save a lot of effort.
When they were building a house in full swing, the little unicorn, the big hairball, and the two yellow crystal ants all ran over to watch the fun, and then helped them carry the materials. Obviously, they all had great enthusiasm for building a house.
Wen Qiao asked Wen Gungun to dig a big hole in the ground and start laying the foundation. Although it doesn't matter if there is no foundation in the space, they still didn't skip this step. After laying the foundation, start to build the main body, one Yuan Huang Realm, two Yuan Zong Realm, plus a few beasts, and the main body will be built in less than half a day.
Practitioners can build houses so fast that it doesn't take much time at all.
Then decorate the house.
Wen Qiao took out the thousand silk vines and was about to spawn some thousand silk vines for decoration around, but suddenly found that the little phoenix didn't seem to come over to join in the fun, so she couldn't help asking: "Husband, where is Wen Maomao?"
Ning Yuzhou said: "At the Yinyang Spring, they are stealing water from the Yinyang Spring."
Wen Qiao: "..."
Maybe because she knew that Wen Qiao was looking for her, after a while, the little phoenix flew over from a distance.
Seeing that fat bird that seemed to be planted on the ground in mid-air at any time, Wen Qiao was worried that it would not be able to fly, and would roll a few times like a ball when it fell to the ground.
When the little phoenix landed on Wen Qiao's shoulder, Wen Qiao felt a heavy weight.
Even though it is still small, its chubby body is very heavy, and it is much heavier than before.
Wen Qiao weighed it, and found that it was not his own illusion, the little phoenix was really strong again, probably because he ate too many yin and yang springs recently, so he also grew flesh.
I'm really worried that it will become the first phoenix that can't fly because it is too fat.
But obviously Little Phoenix didn't understand its mother's worry, Chao Wenqiao called out, and asked innocently: What's the matter with mother looking for it
Wen Qiao patted its head, "It's fine, don't eat anything in the space."
"Chirp?" Why can't you eat casually? Didn't you say that you can eat it casually
Little Phoenix obviously couldn't understand why his mother changed her mind so quickly.
"Of course it's because you're getting fatter and fatter, which makes you taboo." Shi Wuming told the truth that made Little Phoenix furious.
The little phoenix chirped sharply, and pounced on him fiercely, until he jumped up and said that it was not fat at all.
After fighting and fighting, they finally built the house and decorated it according to their own preferences.
The house designed by Ning Yuzhou is very large - after all, now that the space area has expanded, there is no need to save space, and there is no need to compress the area of the house, so everyone and monsters are equipped with rooms, which they can decorate themselves.
After the house was built, Ning Jichen continued to make alchemy, Shi Wuming and Wen Tutu were responsible for selling the elixir, Wen Qiao nested in the space to give birth to all the spiritual plants, and Ning Yuzhou studied the formation and performed their duties.
After a month of this, the strength of the attacking spirit beasts gradually became stronger, and Tianzhen City began to organize the practitioners in the city to defend the city.
There is a mandatory task in Tianzhen City. Practitioners above Yuankong Realm must defend the city every ten days, for ten hours each time.
It just so happened that among Wen Qiao and their group, Ning Jichen, who had the lowest level of cultivation, was Yuan Kongjing. None of them was left behind, and they all had to perform the mandatory tasks issued by Tianzhen City.
"Father hasn't fought for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to practice more." Ning Yuzhou arranged tasks for his father, "Wen Tutu, you stay with Dad and pay attention to his safety."
Wen Tutu patted his chest and assured: "Brother Ning, don't worry, I will definitely protect Uncle Ning."
Ning Jichen also has no objection. Although he embarked on the road of alchemy with the help of his son, he is still a practitioner at heart, and alchemy is instead an auxiliary. He can also understand the reason why his son asked him to make alchemy. If his son and daughter-in-law ascend to the upper realm in the future, when he stays in the lower realm, he can gain the respect of the world with his alchemy skills and ensure that he can continue to practice smoothly.
Ning Jichen has no doubts that his son and daughter-in-law will be able to ascend to the sky in the future, and what he has to do is not to hold them back, maybe their family will be able to reunite in the upper world in the future.
For his son, Ning Jichen also fought hard.
The sky was dark, like a black curtain, with no stars and no light penetrating into it.
It was Shen time in the middle of the day, and there was still an hour and a half before darkness, but the sky was so dark that one could suspect that it was already midnight, and the cries of spirit beasts sounded one after another in the distance, and the cold chill permeated from the air.
When Wen Qiao and the others came to the city wall, they could feel the cold wind blowing. In the distance, there were endless spirit beasts, big and small, ferocious and ferocious, attacking the defensive formation on the city irrationally.
This is the first time Ning Jichen and Ning Yuzhou have come to defend the city.
When he saw the soul beast that was rushing straight at him, even Ning Jichen had a strong mental quality, he couldn't help gasping, his scalp tingling. There are too many soul beasts, so many that people feel an inexhaustible despair. Maybe they can't wait for the tide of soul beasts to pass, and the cultivation city will be broken by them, and all the cultivators will become their food.
As a kind of creature in the nether world, soul beasts naturally also feed on humans and monsters.
Ning Yuzhou looked at the spirit beasts outside the city that were constantly attacking Tianzhen City with a calm expression, no one could see anything from this calm face.
A group of them stood together as a whole and began to kill the soul beast.
Wen Tutu protected Ning Jichen and did not intervene in his battle, but let him face the soul beast directly, as long as the soul beast did not cause him fatal injuries.
Wen Qiao also stood by Ning Yuzhou's side to prevent those spirit beasts from hurting her weak husband.
Shi Wuming stood on the other side, holding a non-distinctive spirit sword in his hand, hitting the soul beast directly, and asked, "Brother Ning, can you see anything?"
"There are too many soul beasts." Ning Yuzhou said.
Shi Wuming couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, don't play dumb with him, if there are not many soul beasts, can it still be called a wave of soul beasts
"Where do you think they come from?" Shi Wuming said, "Although the people and demon cultivators of the Soul Beast Continent think that they climbed up from the center of the Soul Beast ContinentâDiyuan, why did Diyuan There are so many soul beasts? Why do the soul beasts go berserk every ten years, forming a wave of soul beasts?"
Ning Yuzhou took out a stack of talismans, raised his hands, formed a fire talisman formation, flew towards the soul beast in front, and said slowly: "I have just arrived in the soul beast continent, and based on what I have seen these days, how can Can you figure it out? You have to look again."
Shi Wuming thought it was right, he couldn't compare Ning Yuzhou now with the god Emperor Dixi who destroyed the world back then.
The current Ning Yuzhou is still too weak, and for that person, he is willing to maintain this weak status and grow up slowly with her.
He sighed inwardly.
There are too many hidden dangers left in those years. If one does not pay attention, the human world may experience another catastrophe, and then implicate the nether world and the demon world.
Until the next day, at the end of ten hours, they left the city wall.
As soon as I got back to the inn, I saw Jing Jue guarding there, and greeted them happily, "You just went to guard the city?"
Shi Wuming also replied enthusiastically: "Yes, why did Brother Jing come to see us when he has time?"
Jing Jue scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, can you go inside and talk? There are a lot of people here."
After waiting for their guest room, Jing Jue turned his eyes around Ning Yuzhou and his son, and asked with a smile, "Who is the alchemist who made alchemy recently?"
"It's our Uncle Ning." Shi Wuming pointed at Ning Jichen.
Jing Jue immediately said enthusiastically: "Pill Master Ning, I have been admiring you for a long time! This time I came here to buy a elixir."
"Do you have a spirit stone?" Wen Tutu blurted out.
It wasn't that he doubted Jing Jue, but after getting to know him, he finally realized how poor he was. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford a decent cassock.
Jing Jue didn't care about his doubts, and said with a smile: "I don't have spiritual stones, but my friends do. They heard that you have spiritual pills here, and they want to ask you for them. Your spiritual pills are so popular. Every time I set up a stall, it was snatched up by people, and they couldn't get it, knowing that I knew you, they came to me and asked me to help you ask questions."
I see.
Knowing that Jing Jue was asking for the pill on behalf of others, Ning Jichen asked very generously: "What kind of panacea does the other party want?"
"Buling Pill, Yiqi Pill, Juyang Pill, Chiyang Pill, Yangyuan Pill..."
Jing Jue mentioned more than a dozen kinds of elixir in one breath, mainly Xuan-level elixir, and several kinds of earth-level elixir. Among them, the most difficult to refine is the Yangyuan elixir, which Ning Jichen cannot refine for the time being. Rely on his son to practice.
Ning Jichen said: "I can only refine Huang-level pills and Xuan-level pills now, but I can't make earth-level pills."
Jing Jue paused, and asked: "Then your earth-level pill..."
Recently, among the spirit pills that Shi Wuming and the others sell, although most of them are yellow-level and black-level pills, there are also earth-level pills. It makes people very crazy.
They also couldn't figure out why the higher the quality of the alchemy pills sold by these two people, the better it was, while the lower-level ones were mostly top-grade and middle-grade. One who specializes in refining earth-level top-grade pills, and one who specializes in refining low-level pills
