Chapter 757: Underground Formation

The sad old dragon left. He came in great splendor, but when he left, all the treasures on his body were looted, and he also got two deadly things.

Zi Yan kept fiddling with a bunch of medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits, all of which were contributed involuntarily by Lao Long.

Even Yao Chen was tempted. The Taixu Ancient Dragon was indeed a top-level magical beast and was really good at treasure hunting.

Among the medicinal herbs piled up on that hill, there are several main ingredients for refining ninth-grade elixirs alone, which makes our Medicine Master envious.

Finally, Yao Chen promised to exchange five bottles of pills with a medicinal strength of about the seventh-grade elixir for any ninth-grade medicinal herb in Zi Yan's hands.

The little girl was delighted to have such a good thing happen to her one day, so she readily agreed.

Both parties were obviously very satisfied with this deal. Medicinal materials could bring greater benefits in the hands of a ninth-grade alchemist like Yao Chen.

For Zi Yan, those medicinal herbs that looked unpalatable could be exchanged for some medicinal pills. After all, it took several bottles to exchange for one plant, so she would definitely not lose out.

Since Yao Chen had some newly acquired high-level medicinal materials, he was not in a hurry to go to Danta. After all, he had to prepare some gifts.

Xiao Zhen was responsible for helping out on the side and observing the process of refining the ninth-grade elixir.

Yao Chen put the precious medicinal herbs into his medicine cauldron one by one, and the power of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was exerted to the extreme. Everything went so smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that when refining low-level elixirs, the magic core of Warcraft is used as the main material.

But the higher the level of the elixir, the less magic core is needed. After all, it is impossible to really go to trouble a ninth-level monster just for a ninth-level elixir.

Thanks to the evolution of wisdom of countless generations, a large number of high-level elixirs that can be refined without magic cores have been successfully developed.

Yao Chen is definitely a qualified mentor. Whenever Xiao Zhen has any questions, he can find the answers from him.

Xiao Zhen also tried to make a furnace of eighth-grade high-level elixirs. Although he succeeded in making them, the color was a little dull and it was obvious that the quality did not reach the perfect level.

Yao Chen stepped forward and said comfortingly: "You don't have to be depressed, kid. I didn't become an eighth-grade alchemist at such a young age like you."

Xiao Zhen nodded, but he knew his own limitations in his heart. Without the support of external plug-ins, his cultivation level would be at most Dou Huang, and his alchemy skills would not be able to reach a high level due to the restrictions of his soul level.

As soon as I walked out of the alchemy room, Zi Yan and Feng Zunzhe came to meet me.

Yao Chen smiled and took out a few jade bottles and threw them to a greedy little girl.

"Take it. This is what I promised you."

"Hahahahaha..."

Zi Yan opened the bottle cap and put it into her mouth. Fresh and hot pills always tasted especially refreshing.

Xiao Zhen laughed secretly. Who would dare to eat pills as food like this?

After a quick packing, he started his journey towards Danta.

Although Venerable Feng wanted to accompany his old friend, he needed to guard the huge Xingyun Pavilion. After all, after Yao Chen's return, there would probably be a lot of big moves, and some preparations were imminent.

Arriving at the nearest city, Xiao Zhen saw that its prosperity might not be much better than that of the Northwest Road, but the powerful aura in the dark should not be underestimated.

Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "In any random city, four Dou Zongs were found. It really deserves to be the most prosperous place on the continent."

Yao Chen complained: "You are the real monster. Even the Dou Sheng cannot master the ability to travel through different worlds."

The old man thought of his fox girlfriend again.

Xiao Zhen didn't want to talk more about things like the system, since everyone knew it tacitly.

Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Zhen released all his soul power and extended it underground, but in the end he found nothing.

The noise alarmed many people, but due to the source of the soul power, the aura was truly terrifying.

The Dou Zong ancestors of several families stayed indoors and did not forget to instruct their family members not to offend strangers, especially those who had recently arrived here.

Yao Chen waited until Xiao Zhen finished searching before asking, "What are you looking for?"

Xiao Zhen nodded first, then shook his head.

"Not sure, I didn't find anything. Yao Lao, why don't you come and take a look? After all, your soul power has reached the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection, and your insight is much better than mine."

Although Yao Chen didn't know what Xiao Zhen was looking for, he still released his soul power to check the underground.

After a moment, Yao Chen frowned slightly.

"There seems to be something several thousand meters underground, but it is hidden by some kind of restriction. Even with my soul power, I can only detect a few clues."

Sure enough, Xiao Zhen patted Yao Lao's shoulder.

"Let's get out of here first!"

With the help of the teleportation array in the city, the three people plus a little dream quickly left the city.

In the space channel, Yao Chen asked: "What is that thing? Don't we need to go and take a look?"

"Don't spread this matter casually. Once it is exposed, I'm afraid we will be in trouble." After warning the two of them, Xiao Zhen recalled the plot in the original book and said slowly:

"That thing was arranged by the Soul Clan. They took advantage of the time when the Soul Palace was collecting souls to secretly set up formations under all the cities in Zhongzhou. The purpose is to sacrifice most of the population of Zhongzhou with blood one day in the future!"

"hiss!"

Yao Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. Even though he was well-informed, he did not expect that the Soul Clan would be so generous.

And it’s so... cruel!

If this matter were to be publicized, it would probably cause hostility from everyone in Zhongzhou. No wonder it was done so covertly.

If Xiao Zhen hadn't reminded him, Yao Chen would not have been able to discover the restriction underground. You have to know that his soul is more powerful than most Dou Sheng masters.

After being shocked, Zi Yan was the first to speak: "If we spread this matter, will the entire Zhongzhou join us in fighting the Soul Clan?"

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said calmly: "Not yet. Even if people knew about the evil deeds of the Soul Clan, not many people would dare to go against them. At most, they would curse at them.

And to maximize the effect of this matter, we need a suitable time.”

If the Soul Clan's trump card is revealed now, it will not bring about much change except increasing the Soul Clan's bad reputation to others.

After all, anyone who has heard of the Soul Clan will subconsciously think of the Soul Palace that plunders soul bodies on the mainland.

It can be said that for some people whose reputation already is bad, they would not care if it gets even worse.

I'm afraid most people would rather move away. I don't want to be an enemy of the behemoth Soul Clan.

As for other ancient families, let alone

It's not like we're setting up such a crazy formation in their home. At most, we can put pressure on them together and force the Soul Clan to remove the formation themselves.

As for the downside, it is that this action has destroyed the Soul Clan's grand plan. If it is discovered by those ruthless guys, they will definitely be subjected to crazy revenge.

If that old man, Emperor Hun Tian, ​​were to take action himself in anger, who would be able to stop him?

Gu Yuan? This old guy didn't have any good intentions, otherwise the Xiao family wouldn't have fallen into such a state.

Xiao Zhen still has a lot of people he cares about, so he might be able to escape instantly with the help of the system, but he's afraid that before he can pick up the others, Emperor Hun Tian will be able to quickly run to the northwest continent and destroy the entire Gama Empire with one slap.
