Chapter 554: Foraging

After the previous search and the inner elixir of the black cloud turtle, Ye Chunyang has collected all the materials. Next, he only needs to follow the prescription given by Guanglingzi. With his alchemy skills, it is only a matter of time before he can refine it into a spiritual medicine that can prolong the life of the demon-eating Gu.

After releasing the Gu, he looked at it carefully.

At this time, the wings of the demon-eating Gu were shining with golden light. It was obvious that it had aged a lot in this year. This made Ye Chunyang secretly worried. He immediately sacrificed the alchemy furnace without hesitation, and then took out various bottles and jars to prepare for refining.

Now, for him, time is the most precious thing, and it cannot be wasted at all. After everything is ready, he opened his mouth and sprayed, and the infinite wild fire slowly rose in the Liuwu Hanyuan Ding.

According to Guanglingzi's prescription, the first thing to be refined after the furnace is opened is the inner elixir of the black cloud turtle and the Lingshuang bamboo. Ye Chunyang immediately waved his hand and put the two spiritual materials into the fire mouth respectively.

After a few popping sounds, the demon pill and the spiritual bamboo flashed and turned into spiritual liquid, tumbling in the flames. Seeing this, Ye Chunyang immediately cast a spell, and a spell restriction appeared in the pill furnace to ensure that the spiritual liquid would not be burned by the wildfire.

At the same time, he put several other materials into the furnace one by one. The process seemed complicated, but he manipulated it like flowing water, without any stagnation.

Then several times in a row, Ye Chunyang refined and sealed them separately as before, and began a long refining process under this vein.

…

Xuanyin Sect is a third-rate force in the northern vein of Tianchong Mountain. The sect's skills are extremely evil, extreme and cruel. All the disciples are demon cultivators. Its leader Tianyin Shangren is even more familiar with this. His cultivation has reached the peak of the late stage of magic power and he is ready to form a golden pill at any time.

Moreover, this sect also has a long history. It is said that Xuanyin Sect was founded by a demon cultivator thousands of years ago.

This ancestor cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and at that time, he was a powerful figure in the North.

But later, whether it was due to a battle with others or some other reason, this person suddenly disappeared, and many of the skills he inherited were lost, and this sect has since begun to decline.

To this day, not to mention the Nascent Soul stage, even a Jindan cultivator has never appeared.

The only thing left is a second-level intermediate-level sect guardian spirit beast, the Water Armor Beast, and a few skills and magical powers.

In fact, with the foundation of the Xuanyin Sect, even if it has fallen to the third-rate, ordinary forces are still wary of it. It can be said that it is a local snake, and its disciples are rampant.

But just a few years ago, after a Jindan cultivator from the Wutian Sect appeared, this sect became the other party's vassal as expected. When Tianyin Shangren saw the Wutian Sect envoy, he had to kowtow three times and nine times, and did not dare to be presumptuous at all.

Of course, some people also praised Master Tianyin for his wisdom, and for enduring humiliation for a while to preserve the foundation of the sect. However, this is beside the point and there is no need to mention it here.

Today, Master Tianyin was meditating and refining Qi in the quiet room, when suddenly a hurried voice came from outside the door.

"Master, the water armor beast was suddenly attacked at the foot of the mountain. It seems that it is not victorious. Please come out and take charge of the situation!"

With a "bang", the door of the quiet room suddenly broke open, and a tall middle-aged man in a black robe appeared. It was Master Tianyin.

"What's going on? Please explain clearly. The water armor beast is the spiritual beast of our sect. Who dares to attack it?"

Master Tianyin looked at the disciple who reported in front of him, and his face was intimidating without anger, and he shouted gloomily.

"Master, it was not a cultivator who attacked the water-armored beast, but a strange insect with sharp teeth and fangs and the power to fly. The insect's attack was fierce, and the water-armored beast was no match for it."

The disciple who reported was a young man in the foundation-building period. When asked by Master Tianyin, he quickly told the story.

"Strange insect?"

Master Tianyin's eyes flashed, as if he remembered something, and his face suddenly darkened as he said, "Recently, I heard that many spiritual beasts of sects and forces were driven and devoured by strange insects. It seems to be true. Humph! I didn't expect that they would set their sights on my Xuanyin Sect. I want to see what this strange insect is capable of, and who is the person who drives the insect?"

As he spoke, Master Tianyin's body flashed with light, and turned into a divine rainbow and rushed down the mountain.

Just as he arrived outside the mountain gate, Master Tianyin heard bursts of shrill beast roars. The water-armored beast, which looked like a giant turtle, was fighting a fist-sized black flying insect. But just as he was about to fall, his face showed a mixture of shock and anger.

I saw a few inches of scarlet fangs sticking out of the mouth of the flying insect. After a flash of its body, it appeared behind the water armor beast like lightning, and opened its mouth to bite it fiercely.

"Crack."

After a few chewing sounds, the flying insect circled around the water armor beast and punched it. The beast stopped moving abruptly, and blood mist splashed out like rain. At the same time, its flesh and blood and inner elixir also entered the mouth of the flying insect.

"The beast is looking for death!"

Tianyin Shangren saw this scene as soon as he landed. His eyes turned blood red and his face was furious.

This water armor beast was inherited by the founder of the sect and guarded the mountain gate for Xuanyin Sect. He didn't expect that he was just a step late, and this sect spirit beast became the meat in the belly of the strange insect. Tianyin Shangren was full of killing intent.

He locked his eyes on the flying insect, muttered a spell, and a short axe flew out like lightning. Under the urging of his magic power, it quickly enlarged and rushed straight to the flying insect with a "whoosh".

But the insect seemed to have expected it. It made a buzzing sound and spread its wings. It ignored the giant axe and flew out of the sky at the speed of teleportation.

With a loud "boom", the giant axe did not hit the strange insect, but instead blew a big hole outside its own mountain gate.

The water-armored beast that could have preserved its whole body was also dismembered by the shock, and its death was miserable.

A trace of astonishment flashed across Master Tianyin's face. It took him a long time to react, and he hurriedly released his consciousness to track him down.

But the strange insect was like wind and lightning, and it had long since disappeared, so fast that no one could distinguish it.

Looking at the empty space in front of him, Master Tianyin was frightened and angry, but he had no choice but to be extremely depressed for a moment.

But what Master Tianyin didn't know was that just after the strange insect flew out of the Xuanyin Gate, it suddenly circled in the sky and fell towards a hidden valley nearby.

Beside a stream in the valley, a young man dressed in black sat cross-legged in silence, as if waiting for something.

After noticing the strange insect flying in, the young man raised his head slightly with a smile on his face.

He stretched out his hand and the strange insect fell into his hand docilely, gathered its wings and crawled quietly.

"Swallowing a second-level mid-level water-armored beast should help you regain some strength, right?"

The young man patted the steel-like beetle on the back of the strange insect, chuckled and murmured to himself.

After the young man finished speaking, a strange laughter sounded in his mind: "After the demon-eating Gu grew old some time ago, at least nine out of ten of its vitality was depleted. Although he took the life-extending elixir, he still wanted to use it in a short time. Recovery is not easy.”

"This junior has also expected this, but I have some doubts. For example, the overseas Wanyun Island or the inner mountains of Tian Chong Mountain are places where monster beasts roam. If we want the monster-eating Gu to eat, we only need to hunt in these two places. It's just a matter of catching monsters. Why do you have to let me drive this Gu into other sects to eat other people's sect-suppressing spiritual beasts? You must know that this is tantamount to a slap in the face. If the opponent chases you, I'm afraid it will attract you. A lot of trouble."

The young man asked with a wry smile.

This young man in black clothes is Ye Chunyang. It has been more than three months since he returned from overseas.

Now that the food monster Gu had taken the life-extending elixir, the golden light on his body had stopped, and he had stopped aging, but at the same time, Ye Chunyang also discovered a fatal problem.

Since then, Gu has aged, and his vitality has also been damaged. Although the elixir can extend his life, the lost vitality cannot be restored.

Just when Ye Chunyang was feeling secretly troubled by this matter, Guang Lingzi woke up at this moment.

After asking for advice, Ye Chunyang knew that the demon-eating voodoo could only be recovered by eating. With the characteristics of the voodoo, the way to eat was naturally to absorb the demonic power by devouring other demonic beasts.

However, what puzzled Ye Chunyang was that Guang Lingzi's proposal actually asked him to find some spiritual beasts to feed and let the Gu devour, but he did not tell him the reason.

However, based on his trust in Guang Lingzi, Ye Chunyang knew that there must be a reason for what the other party said, so with the purpose of inquiring about information and looking for food for the demon-eating Gu, Ye Chunyang returned from overseas in a low-key manner.

"I had known that you would be unable to restrain yourself from asking, and I didn't want to hide this matter. It's just that the energy of the Demon Eater Gu had been completely lost at that time, and I didn't have time to say more when the matter was urgent."

Guang Lingzi said slowly:

"Monster-eating Gu is an ancient insect with a very unique life form. The method of restoring vitality is also different from other spiritual pets. It must be some spiritual beast with spirituality to be useful. Those monster beasts in the mountains and overseas have never been tamed. , except for the wild demon power, there is no spirituality at all, but the sect forces are different. The spiritual beasts they raise have been tamed for many years and have already developed spirituality, which is naturally a great supplement to the monster-eating Gu. "

"I see."

Ye Chunyang was slightly surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he frowned and remained silent.

"Hehe, there is actually something very strange to me. Although you used the demon-eating Gu to swallow up many spiritual beasts from the sects, these forces seem to be subordinates and vassals of Wutianmen, or they are people who usually do all kinds of evil. Sect, why, you don’t want to take this to privately take revenge on Wutian Sect, do you? But it’s not necessarily revenge. After all, you secretly left supplies as compensation after destroying other people’s spiritual beasts. I really can’t figure you out. thoughts.”

Guang Lingzi suddenly laughed strangely.

"Private revenge? Let's just leave it at that."

Ye Chunyang chuckled lightly and said: "But thieves also have their ways. After all, it would be disgraceful for us to eat someone else's Zhenzong spirit beast for no reason. If I come to visit them openly, they will definitely not agree. It will inevitably cause trouble, so why not Kill it first and report later. Besides, I am not an unreasonable person. No matter whether the two parties are hostile or not, I will naturally give corresponding compensation if I take someone else's spiritual beast."

"This is reasonable. Fortunately, I have eaten a lot of spiritual beasts in the past few months, and my demon-eating Gu has almost recovered. If I can eat one or two more high-level spiritual beasts, I can fully recover."

Guang Lingzi felt a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't ask any more questions immediately, but changed the topic and reminded him.

"Indeed, it is said that in addition to Xuanyin Sect, there is a second-rate sect called Wutian Sect here. It raises a second-level upper-level spiritual pet, which is slightly higher than the water-armored beast. Let's go there. stop!"

Ye Chunyang smiled lightly, then flew into the sky and left.
