Chapter 272 Seems to be the Emperor's Backhand

He flew slowly down on his sword, facing the setting sun, and suddenly saw a very flat branch of a tree below.

Murong Ji was startled. There was a yellow bird's nest.

After taking a quick glance at the entire sky, he did not see any yellow bird. Murong Ji secretly let out a sigh of relief, flew down on his sword, and looked at the extremely huge nest with some surprise in his heart.

[No, there seems to be a palace here! ]

Murong Ji looked down at the unusually flat tree trunk under his feet, a little surprised. Then he looked at the place where the trunk was connected to the main trunk. It was square, extremely square.

“Could the Devil Cult’s Savage Holy Temple come from here?!!”

Moved away by the Netherworld Mother? He wasn't sure.

He went forward to check the yellow bird's nest. Wow, it was filled with rare woods, most of which were branches of this huge tree. A few of the woods were things he had never heard of before.

How could something that the yellow bird likes be just an ordinary item?
He exhaled and put the money directly into the dragon ring. Time was tight and he didn't have time to care about other things.

Suddenly, Murong Ji saw a branch as green as jade and raised his eyebrows slightly. This branch was too conspicuous.

When I pulled it out, it was as thick as my thigh.

After careful study, I found it to be quite special. I had no idea what kind of tree it was, but it was crystal green all over and there was a faint glow flowing through it.

Suddenly, Murong Ji had an illusion that this branch was still alive.

Leave this branch alone, and then quickly collect the yellow bird's nest. The deeper you go, the better the quality is, and it is no longer limited to wood.

There are also many gems, iron materials and so on.

Inside the nest, there were countless resources for cultivation. Murong Ji exhaled deeply and almost bit off his tongue. The yellow bird was much richer than the black water snake.

Not only that, the yellow bird had shed a lot of feathers. Murong Ji picked up a feather and compared it to his body. It could almost cover his entire body.

"Using this feather to refine a rope to bind immortals is pretty good, right?"

Murong Ji glanced around, made sure nothing was missed, and turned around and left quickly. He kept hiding himself in the thick miasma before he exhaled.

"Hey! Hey!"

Soon, a heart-wrenching cry was heard from the sky. It was so harsh that Murong Ji's ears hurt slightly.

"call!"

In an instant, the poisonous miasma of the object began to flow, and the speed became faster and faster. Murong Ji felt that something was wrong and broke out to the periphery of the Death Swamp overnight.

The range of this poisonous miasma was so large that Murong Ji quickly flew towards the periphery using the positioning jade beads he had left behind in advance.

"bump!"

There was a muffled sound behind him, as if something had hit the giant tree. Murong Ji looked back, but saw endless thick green miasma.

Nothing was seen.

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a sudden flash of light above the giant tree.

Murong Ji's heart skipped a beat and he stopped immediately, "Damn! The formation was broken because I stole the yellow bird's home? ! ! Was it broken by the yellow bird?"

What he didn't know was that the white jade bead was madly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of life. Its power was as violent as that of the vampire bead.

Murong Ji withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining white jade beads in his hand. He thought about it and wondered whether the poisonous miasma could be absorbed.

He directly refined one and it appeared in front of him, but there was no movement of the poisonous miasma. Murong Ji frowned slightly, put the bead away, and continued on his way.

When we arrived at the edge of the Death Swamp, we saw the disciples of Changsheng Hall, and they began to explore the Death Swamp.

After landing on a small hill, Murong Ji gathered a fire, roasted some dry food, and began to translate the copied scriptures.

The first sentence translated is 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs'.

Murong Ji was startled. This was the Heavenly Book! There were actually two volumes of the Heavenly Book here!
If you read it carefully, you will find that this heavenly book mainly describes the five elements and yin and yang, and is closely related to the second chapter, and they confirm each other.

Among them, the chapter on fire control is particularly familiar.

Murong Ji's face darkened. That was the Incense Burning Jade Technique of the Incense Burning Valley! "Could this be the heavenly book in Linglong's hand?"

No, that’s not quite accurate. To sum it up, this entire scripture is about one word: control, control the five elements!
"Witch Scroll? That doesn't seem like it! Is there a necessary connection between witchcraft and the five elements, yin and yang?"

He had not been exposed to much witchcraft, but he was very familiar with Yin Yang and the Five Elements. If the cultivation system of his previous life could be classified, it was actually based on Yin Yang and the Five Elements.

The Yin-Yang theory has been around for so long that it makes your scalp tingle. Existing evidence shows that it originated in the Xia Dynasty. Why? Because there are texts and artifacts unearthed at that time.

It can be said that it runs through almost the entire Chinese nation.

It is recorded in Suwen: Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun that "Yin Yang is the way of heaven and earth, the rules and regulations of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the residence of gods and spirits."

The origin of life and death!
Suddenly, Murong Ji remembered another scripture, "The Yin Fu Jing".

Murong Ji was stunned for a long time, but his mind was full of thoughts. The meaning of the book was fully reflected in his mind at this moment.

The "Heavenly Book" in this world was used to verify what he had learned in his previous life, refuting each other and dialectically verifying each other. Gradually, Murong Ji came back to his senses, still staring blankly at the gradually extinguishing fire, picked up a branch, and began to draw patterns on the ground.

What if the heavenly book in the hands of the witch Linglong was incomplete? She only got the method of controlling fire, which would explain why she refined the Mysterious Fire Mirror.

Another thing is that the treasure house of heaven and earth on the top level was pushed open, so someone must have obtained it.

"The temple that the Netherworld Mother took away contained the outline of the Heavenly Book and the second volume of the Heavenly Book. Why didn't the Demon Cult have other Heavenly Books?"

Suddenly, he had a feeling that it was the Emperor of Heaven who was making a backup plan.

What is the back-up plan? The cultivators in the world rose up, and were taken away by a girl, a fortune teller, and a monk. The current situation may be what the emperor of heaven wants to see.

"Then, who are we defending against?!"

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji looked at the patterns drawn on the ground. There were five flags, which corresponded to the five elements of life and death.

When you reach the Shangqing realm, you can practice magic, such as Master’s Danhuo Chixia.

Use the Five Elements Flags to assist in the cultivation of the five internal organs.

Suddenly, Murong Ji came up with an idea. It would be better to refine a formation diagram to assist in the Zhou Tian practice.

The internal organs, meridian exercises, the three elixirs, the limbs and bones, etc. are all included together.

He gave up immediately because he didn't have that ability yet.

The Five Elements Flag is also good. It can save a lot of effort by smelting the five internal organs.

After erasing the marks on the weapon and looking at the rising sun, Murong Ji jumped up and was about to fly out of the Death Swamp on his sword. Suddenly, he thought of the piece of emerald green wood.

He took it out again and looked at it, then his gaze turned toward the vast Death Swamp. This was a blessed land with inexhaustible resources for cultivation.

These poisonous insects and miasma are of no use to others, but they are of great use to oneself.

It is poison here, but medicine elsewhere.

It can even make good pills. Murong Ji suddenly remembered the poison scripture he stole from Zhong Wanchou in his previous life. There are quite a few things in it that will be of great benefit to his cultivation.

"The Divine Wood King Cauldron?!"

The Divine Wood King Cauldron in the previous life was born with a special aura that could attract some poisonous insects and spiritual insects. By burning spices in the cauldron, it would lure poisonous insects within a ten-mile radius to come in a moment.

Murong Ji lowered his brows in thought, put the emerald green wood under his nose and sniffed it. The smell was indeed good, but he didn't know if the Divine Wood King Cauldron he refined would be good enough.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Murong Ji flew out of the Death Swamp on his sword and headed straight for Qingyun Mountain.

After returning to Qingyun Mountain, he first handed in the task, then told Daoxuan about the situation, and then went straight back to Dazhu Peak.

He locked himself in the room and began to research new magic weapons.

As for the various materials that Tao Teng brought back, he handed them over to other senior brothers to help deal with them. There were too many things, and it was unrealistic to expect Murong Ji to handle them alone.

Xiao Yicai and Qi Hao will also send people to help deal with it.

There were many things that Murong Ji had no use for, and some of them were refined into magic weapons or pills, and the rest went into the mouths of several of his senior brothers.

Only those things that are not needed by other senior brothers will be taken to Tongtian Peak by the eldest brother to be exchanged for other things.

Murong Ji alone made Dazhu Peak fat, Xiaozhu Peak full, and Qingyun Sect alive...

Of course, Master Tian Buyi confiscated some of the magic weapons of good quality and put them into the treasury of Dazhu Peak.

He also went into the Dazhu Peak to have a look at the treasury. Only then did he realize that Dazhu Peak was probably the richest peak in Qingyun Sect.

Seven or eight boxes of rhubarb pills, which are not some junk medicine, but the painstaking work of Master Tian Buyi. There are also countless magic weapons, scriptures, etc.

In the master's words, after his death, in order to prevent Dazhu Peak from falling, he had some backup plans.

There were also some spiritual and immortal magic weapons that were not collected into the treasury by the master, but were given away as favors by the eldest senior brother.

Murong Ji didn't notice anything at first, until he saw the sword in Xiao Shi's hand, which looked more and more familiar.

Then he remembered that it was made of cold jade, and he had given it a name at that time, the Water Cold Sword.

"No, how did this sword end up in her hands?!"

Murong Ji stood in the dark corner of the cliff above the cold pond, staring blankly at Xiao Shi, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He continuously stimulated the cold air, causing the surrounding water surface and bamboo to be covered with frost.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. Xiao Zhufeng was quite good at cultivating cold energy. Lu Xueqi's technique mainly focused on cultivating cold energy.

Lu Xueqi looked at the sword dancing below with an expressionless face, and said slowly: "Senior Sister Wenmin gave it to her. I have seen the sword. It is of good quality, a fairy-grade magic weapon."

Murong Ji was speechless. Dazhu Peak and Xiaozhu Peak could be considered to be of the same blood. No matter how much Master Shuiyue and Master did not get along, he would always stand on Master Tian Buyi's side at critical moments.
