Devour

Chapter 272 Qiankun Qimen

Leng Yi admitted frankly: "It is this old man."

Cheng Baiqi said: "I heard that the senior had been in seclusion for many years and didn't care about worldly affairs, but I didn't know that he lived in seclusion here. The Nine-Layered Abyss is ghostly and gloomy, and contains unique vitality. It is not a holy place for ordinary cultivators to practice."

Leng Yi stroked his long beard and said proudly, "The reason why I practiced in seclusion is actually related to the fact that I have a Yin spirit body. Whether it is the Five Continents or Shanhui City, I have hardly made any progress in my cultivation after thousands of years. Only the Nine-Layered Abyss is suitable for my body. I have gained a lot here for more than a hundred years. I have gotten used to it after staying here for a long time."

No wonder the aura sounded familiar, it turned out that Leng Yi possessed the same talent as Qi Jifen. Among the five elements of spirit, he was of superior earth element aptitude, and his cultivation was obviously much higher than his.

When a cultivator encounters a bottleneck, changing to a special environment is indeed a good method. Cultivating in the Ninth Abyss is not extreme.

Cheng Bai inquired, "Just now I met the prince Yong Yao at the gate. He seemed to be in a hurry. He must have come here to ask for something, right?"

Leng Yi was interested when he heard that, and said happily: "Yong Yao has some friendship with my two disciples, and he came to me, hoping that I would come out to help him and resume my old job as a formation master. But I had no interest at all. Seeing that the Miaoyin Dharma King had some understanding of formations, he gave me a copy of my book "Qian Kun Qi Men" as a token of my appreciation."

After that, he took out a sheepskin scroll from under the table, gently pushed it over, and said with a smile: "This book is my masterpiece. It contains 8864 battle formations. My lifelong achievements in marching and setting up battle formations are all described in it."

Cheng Bai took it and slowly unfolded it to read it carefully. It began with the four characters "Qian Kun Qi Men". The chapters were exquisite, with both pictures and texts. At the very beginning, there was the author's signature "Leng Yi" written in a flamboyant style.

Just as he was about to take it into his arms, Leng Yi stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "One copy is worth fifty thousand taels of black gold. My friend, you are very lucky. With this secret book, you will definitely be able to assist the emperor in conquering the heavens and expanding the territory, and you will be successful in everything you do!"

Cheng Bai understood, and quietly swept over with his Phoenix power, sensing that the root carving coffee table was filled with almost identical parchment scrolls of "Qian Kun Qi Men", each of which had a personal signature written on it.

"There are batches of princes and counselors who come to him to seek help. If I talk to him briefly, he will treat me as a fellow traveler. Anyway, instead of following the prince and risking his life, it is better to sell the secret book. How much does a roll of parchment cost? It is really profitable, and it will make me happy and satisfy everyone."

Cheng Bai pondered in his heart, secretly admired, and asked: "Senior Leng's writing is very good, I wonder when this book will be written?"

Leng Yi thought he was a fan, and boasted: "I have been practicing for many years and have nothing to do. I have been writing day and night, and I have completed the revisions in recent years. As soon as the Nine-Layered Abyss was opened, it was really popular and the market was booming!"

This is a new book, which can be used to feed Li Tong.

Cheng Bai's spiritual consciousness moved, and he threw the Qiankun Qimen parchment scroll into the Shengjin Pagoda, swallowed the inheritance magic cube inside, and then paid the money.

Leng Yi's money came in, and he became more friendly to others, praising them endlessly, saying: "My friend has an extraordinary appearance. I can tell at first sight that you are an outstanding person who will shine with the sun. Your future is limitless."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Cheng Bai said casually, "Senior, please tell me what my fate is?"

Leng Yi read the face again and again, his face gradually becoming solemn as he said: "From the face, we can know the heart, and from the heart, we can determine the fate. Very strange! Three mists are looming, each one more elusive than the last, even what I have learned cannot penetrate it. My friend is making great strides in the great trend, and he will inevitably face severe setbacks."

Aren’t there enough challenges?

Cheng Bai didn't take it seriously and asked, "It is rumored that the Jiaoshi Mountains produce a lot of Feiying Stone. I wonder where the mining areas are concentrated?"

Leng Yi said: "There are gravels all over the area around Jiaoshi Town. Occasionally, you will find some mineral materials, but most of them are inferior and not worth mentioning to outsiders. If you are quick when passing by, it won't be a problem to pick up a few pieces while there are no ghosts paying attention."

Cheng Bai was of course not satisfied. How could picking up trash be his style? So he asked, "Doesn't the town allow others to mine high-quality mines?"

Leng Yi pointed out some details and said, "The daytime patrol ghosts must be on guard! Outsiders who mine in large quantities without the lord's permission will be attacked by waste ghosts and besieged by vain ghosts, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the city in the future. Once night falls, they will be unable to escape the dark wind, which is unwise."

Cheng Bai asked, "Is there any inventory in Jiaoshi Town?"

Leng Yi was used to such questions and gave a routine answer: "The high-quality goods that have been carefully selected over the years have all been bought up by the slag. There is no buying or selling, and no one outside knows where the inventory is."

Cheng Bai was thinking about going back and sighed, "If we want enough Feiying Stone deposits, we have to look for Baocha."

Leng Yi took a sip of tea and said a few more words: "Bao Cha is lazy and likes to eat, but he has a strict control over the spiritual stone mines in the Jiaoshi Mountains. But he is often not in Jiaoshi Town and has close contacts with the Blood Demon Lord... Maybe Gao Xu knows the whereabouts of the spiritual stone treasure."

Cheng Bai gradually talked about the main point of coming to the secret realm: "Jiu Chong Yuan is famous for its nine-leafed Ganoderma lucidum. It is said that it can be found in the Jiaoshi Mountains. Where is it located?"

Leng Yi said: "This kind of precious medicine root is hidden deep underground and is extremely difficult to find. It is often accompanied by poisonous insects around it. It has been found in three dangerous places outside Jiaoshi Town: the Dry Bone Demon Abyss, the Poison Water Demon Abyss, and the Black Corpse Demon Abyss. Even the Dark Wind can hardly reach the hidden corners of the Demon Abyss Underground Palace."

"Did Emperor Yongyao go to one of these places?" Cheng Bai remembered that they were heading southeast, so he asked for the exact location.

Leng Yi lowered his voice and said, "If you don't want to conflict with Emperor Yongyao, I suggest you go to the Black Corpse Demon Abyss four thousand miles away from the western mountains as soon as possible."

Cheng Bai suggested, "Thank you for your hospitality, Senior. Can I rent a room here and learn the mysteries of the Qiankun Qimen? I'll bother you for a day or two."

Leng Yi agreed immediately: "There are many rooms upstairs in Huianju, and the view from afar is unique. You five just need to choose and pay the rent."

Staying in Huianju temporarily, you don’t have to risk sleeping outside when night falls.

After making clear arrangements, Cheng Bai led the team to the Black Corpse Demon Abyss. The black dragon carried everyone on the clouds and mist, passing through the numerous burning volcanoes, and soon arrived at the destination.

The appearance of the Demon Abyss is completely different from the abyss in the center of the continent. It is like a dark scar cracked on the earth. The surface is silent, and the occasional breeze with the smell of sulfuric acid and a sudden flash of red light will break the cold silence.

Cheng Bai used his Phoenix Power to explore the surroundings and said happily, "We are the first candidates to arrive at the examination, so we have the greatest chance of obtaining the Earth Ganoderma."

He patted the black dragon's back, signaling the black dragonfly to slowly descend into the depths of the demon abyss.

The smoker sniffed again and again and warned, "What a strong insect odor. It's getting stronger and stronger."

Gou Yifan's sense of smell was no less than that of the smoker. He detected unusual movements in the distance, his face changed slightly, and he whispered in surprise: "A big guy is coming."

Nine slender necks stretched out from the darkness one after another, and their huge mouths opened and closed. A faint glow of fire flickered in the depths, illuminating its hideous outline.

Lu Xiaoxi's eyes widened and she cried out in surprise, "The Hellworm Queen is so big, even bigger than the one yesterday!"

Compared with it, the black dragon floating in the air is more than ten times larger.

Realizing the opponent's aggressive attack, Heilong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it has locked onto me and is about to deliver a fatal blow."

Cheng Bai whispered, "Don't be nervous, pretend nothing happened and lure it over. Once I make a move, just focus on casting defensive spells."

The Hellworm Queen is known for her ferocity and cunning. She regards lone challenger teams as delicious prey, and she salivates over them, wanting to strike first.

It approached like a ghost, close enough to catch everyone in one fell swoop, and suddenly released the secret art of mind corruption, fiercely attacking the sea of ​​consciousness of each target.

As the difficult and incomprehensible chanting sounded, all the creatures present were about to become confused and conscious. Then, the Hellworm Queen opened her nine large mouths and spewed out flame poison and fire arrows, pouring down like a torrential rain.

The calm hunter was also waiting for the prey to take the bait. In an instant, he raised the killing knife and flew it into the air. It was as fast as lightning and seemed illusory. He was the last to strike but was the first to arrive. He accurately cut the big meat ball at the end of the intestinal worm's neck and broke it into pieces cleanly. The knife light flew up like a dragon, rushing left and right, and cut the nine intestinal worm necks that were several hundred meters long into thousands of pieces again.

At this time, the Hell Worm Queen's mind-rotting fluctuations were approaching Cheng Bai and the others. The Phoenix Force had already turned from offense to defense, resisting a wave of mental attacks.

Black Dragonfly roared angrily and launched a storm tide. The flame poison and fire arrows that followed one after another made the surface of the magic defense ripple and the clouds roll, but because of the loss of stamina, it failed to break through the numerous obstacles.

The battle was over in an instant.
