Chapter 154: Dan-forming Spiritual Object, Great Demon's Revenge

In the quiet room, Liu Xuexuan walked over.

She was wearing a light green dress, had a slim figure and walked lightly.

Liu Xuexuan held a crystal clear jade slip in her hand. She bowed slightly, presented the slip with both hands, and said softly, "Master, someone has sent you a message."

Ji Chang took the jade slip, smiled slightly, and nodded to Liu Xuexuan to express his gratitude.

Liu Xuexuan also responded with a sweet smile, then turned around and left lightly.

Ji Chang probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip and began to read the information contained therein.

After a moment, he put away the jade slip, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.

This jade message was sent by Hu Qingsong who was stationed in Chishuifang City.

In the letter, Hu Qingsong first congratulated Ji Chang on settling in Liaogu Fairy City.

Afterwards, Hu Qingsong said in his heart that the front line was about to advance further, and before that there were many exploration tasks to prepare for the advancement of the front line.

The location of the spirit veins, the distribution of monsters, and the drawing of maps have all been completed.

The location of the new Xiuxianfang City has also been determined.

Currently, in several frontline markets of Chishui City, many cultivators have accepted the task of clearing out the monsters and are preparing for the establishment of new frontline markets.

However, Hu Qingsong revealed in the letter that he did not intend to participate in this development.

He planned to return to Liaogu Fairy City to rest for a while after completing his garrison mission in Chishuifang City next month.

The Hu family is preparing to increase their investment in expanding the territory in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Not only will they send Qi-refining cultivators, the Hu family is also preparing to send a Foundation-building cultivator to expand the territory in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Hu Qingsong did not hide the identity of the new foundation-building cultivator.

The foundation-building cultivator was not the Hong Ling Fairy that Ji Chang was familiar with, nor was he the current person in charge, Hu Qingyun.

Instead, he was a cultivator who had just established his foundation ten years ago, named Hu Yongjing.

The foundation-building pill that he used to break through the foundation-building period was made by Ji Chang at the request of the Hu family.

In addition, Hu Qingsong also looks forward to meeting Ji Chang in Liaogu Fairy City.

"Hu Yongjing?"

Ji Chang did not have a deep impression of this person. He only remembered that he was of a very low generation and seemed to be from a side branch.

Every time I visited the Hu family, I rarely saw this person.

Hu Yongjing seemed to have always been in charge of the Hu family's sacred place in Jiangzhou.

Ever since the Cheng family of Jiangzhou was annexed by the Hu family, many of Jiangzhou's spiritual lands and mineral veins have come into the hands of the Hu family.

The Hu family would naturally send a foundation-building cultivator to take charge.

Now that the Hu family has sent this person to open up the territory in the Shiwandashan Mountains, who will be in charge of the Hu family's sacred land in Jiangzhou?
We can't let Shen Yaoyu go and take charge?
You know, since the death of Hu Rending, the ancestor of the Hu family, and the drastic reduction in their strength, many cultivators have been secretly watching the Hu family.

Even now that the Ten Thousand Mountains have been opened up, it has attracted the attention of most of the foundation-building cultivators.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang activated the peeping Dao Seed and checked the situation at the Hu family.

All the foundation-building cultivators of the Hu family have been planted with the peeping mark by Ji Chang.

Therefore, it is quite convenient to peek.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ji Chang understood the situation.

"So that's how it is. The Hu family actually sent Hong Ling to Jiangzhou."

Ji Chang's heart moved slightly.

Fairy Hong Ling was originally sent by the Hu family to be in charge of Baishuixian City and was responsible for the many industries of the Hu family in Baishuixian City.

However, ever since the Huangquan Sect forcibly recruited the foundation-building monks from the Zheng State to expand its territory, Baishuixian City has undoubtedly fallen into decline.

Therefore, the Hu family reduced their investment in Baishuixian City.

Now, all the foundation-building cultivators who were in charge of handling the industry have been called back.

Afterwards, Ji Chang once again took a peek at Zhou Jingxing, the Jindan Zhenren.

For Ji Chang, rather than Zhou Jingxing, the Jindan master of the Zhou family, he wanted to spy on Qi Zhicheng, the Jindan elder of the Huangquan Sect.

It’s a pity that Qi Zhicheng lives a secluded life and Ji Chang has been in Liaogu Fairy City for a while, but has never seen him show up.

Ji Chang learned from Huo Youyi that the last time Qi Zhicheng showed up was when the third-level monster attacked Liaogu Fairy City.

After taking a peek, I found nothing of note.

Ji Chang took out the development order and browsed the exchange list.

"Sunflower Water Lotus."

Ji Chang's gaze rested on a magical medicine.

The method of forming the elixir in the "Bi Tao Sutra" that Ji Chang practiced requires three main medicines, and Kuishui Yuanlian is one of them.

In the Huangquan Sect’s exchange list, there is the trace of Kuishui Yuanlian.

However, in order to exchange for this Kuishui Yuanlian, not only does one need tens of thousands of great merits, but one also needs to be ranked on the Tiangang List to have the authority to exchange it.

It's not just the Kuishui Yuanlian. Ever since the contribution list was updated in the pioneering order, all third-tier spiritual objects and third-tier inheritances require a name on the Tiangang list to be exchanged.

As for the Earthly Demon List that belongs to Qi Refining cultivators, they can use small merits to exchange for second-level spiritual objects and second-level inheritances.

Although in theory, small merit is equivalent to low-grade spirit stones, and great merit is equivalent to medium-grade spirit stones.

However, small merit and big merit cannot be exchanged with each other.

Unless you have your name on the Earthly Demon List, you won't be able to use small merits to exchange for second-level spiritual objects and second-level inheritance.

In fact, the Kuishui Yuanlian on the exchange list was not the first Kuishui Yuanlian that Ji Chang had seen.

When the Hu family was exploring the remains of Tianqizi's cave, they discovered a Kuishui Yuanlian.

However, the medicinal effect of the Kuishui Yuanlian was severely lost, and only one tenth of it remained. Even if Ji Chang obtained it, it would be difficult to use it to try to form a pill.

"Sunflower Water Lotus..."

Ji Chang fell into deep thought.

"If my attainments in alchemy and water arts are sufficient, I may be able to replace the Sunflower Water Yuan Lotus with other spiritual medicines with similar medicinal properties."

Thinking of this, Ji Chang sighed again.

"Even if it is replaced with other spiritual medicines, they are still third-level spiritual medicines."

"It's also very difficult to get started."

……

a few days later.

Chishuifang Market.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han received my jade slip?"

Hu Qingsong stood near the city gate, thinking boredly.

It is different from the markets in other prefectures and counties of Zheng State.

The foundation-building cultivators stationed in the Ten Thousand Mountains, especially in the immortal cultivation markets on the front lines, do not just need to stay in the markets.

They also have to rotate and guard each city gate on time.

There are also monks who are specifically responsible for inspecting and maintaining the market formations.

This is because, if you fail to react in time once a beast tide sieges you, the formation will be breached.

At this moment, a red light fell in front of him, revealing a young monk.

"Friend Hu, I'm here to switch defense."

Wang Changsheng bowed to Hu Qingsong and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, thank you for your hard work." Hu Qingsong nodded and saluted him in return.

Among the many monks stationed in Chishuifang City, the relationship between Hu Qingsong and Wang Changsheng is quite harmonious.

In addition to the friendship they formed while garrisoning in the market town, both of them practiced the art of fire.

Although Hu Qingsong practiced the Bing Fire school and Wang Changsheng practiced the Ding Fire school, this did not hinder their communication and discussion.

Just when Hu Qingsong was about to return to the cave to practice for a while.

Wang Changsheng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately used his spiritual sense to send a message to other foundation-building cultivators in the market. Hu Qingsong showed some doubt on his face, and while using his spiritual sense to explore outside, he asked Wang Changsheng.

"Friend Wang, something happened..."

Before Hu Qingsong finished asking, a look of shock appeared on his face.

As Hu Qingsong used his spiritual sense to investigate, two huge monsters slowly appeared and headed towards the Chishui Market.

"That is?"

"A third-level demon?"

"Still two!"

I saw two huge golden-tusked elephants, like two moving hills, and every step they took caused the ground to shake violently.

The skin of the golden-tusked elephant is dark brown, and its tusks are long and sharp, shining with a golden glow, making them intimidating.

Although it is huge in size, its movement speed is quite fast.

Even the fake elixir cultivators cannot compare with him.

Two golden-tusked elephants came towards the Chishui Market. Their eyes were cold and deep, as if they could see through everything.

As they walked, the surrounding monsters all retreated and did not dare to fight with them.

As they moved forward, the ancient trees around them broke one after another, as if they were hit by a huge hammer, and the branches, leaves and trunks were turned into powder under the elephant's hooves.

The mountains were no longer solid in front of them. A slight wave of their huge trunks could smash the rocks into pieces, and the entire mountain seemed to be shaking under their trampling.

As the two golden-tusked elephants approached, the monks in Chishuifang City also began to feel the two unbridled and terrifying demonic powers.

Even the cultivators who were in the process of cultivation and had not received any message from Wang Changsheng's spiritual consciousness were awakened from their cultivation, walked out of their caves, and looked towards the south with solemn expressions.

Almost at the moment when the golden-tusked elephant appeared, two beams of light suddenly appeared beside Hu Qingsong and the other man, transforming into two cultivators, a man and a woman.

The male cultivator had an old face, white hair and beard, and was leaning on an ancient wooden cane.

The female cultivator had a gorgeous and charming face, and was wearing a light blue palace dress.

When Hu Qingsong and Wang Changsheng saw the two men, they raised their hands to salute and felt a little relieved.

This is because these two people are the fake Dan monks who are stationed in Chishui Market.

Although the fake dan cultivator is still in the foundation-building stage, he is considered a foundation-building cultivator.

However, the fake elixir cultivator's magic power has solidified and he has condensed the fake elixir, which is only one step away from becoming a true Jindan cultivator. He is by no means comparable to the foundation-building cultivator.

However, in order to take this step successfully, one must not only have the third-level inheritance and the secret method of forming the elixir, but also have a elixir-forming spiritual object and a third-level spiritual vein.

Because of this, these two people, although they are fake elixir cultivators, are willing to be driven by the Huangquan Sect and go to the Shiwan Mountains to open up new territories.

It is to be able to gather all the spiritual objects for the Jindan stage and try to break through the Jindan stage.

These two fake elixir cultivators, the old man is named Li Hexuan, and the woman is named Lan Qiluo.

They stared at the two golden-tusked elephants approaching in the distance, their brows furrowed, obviously feeling the threat posed by the two monsters.

"Friend Li, I'm afraid these two golden-tusked elephants didn't come here by chance. We must be careful when dealing with them."

Lan Qiluo said in a deep voice. Although her face was still beautiful, her eyes revealed a rare seriousness.

Li Hexuan nodded, stroking his beard and said, "Indeed, these two monsters are quite powerful, and judging from their route, they are clearly heading for Chishuifang City."

Both of them had some guesses about the purpose of the two golden-tusked elephants.

You know, the third-level monster cemetery near Chishuifang City has just been explored by Master Jingxing.

Although Master Jingxing did not reveal to the outside world what kind of monster the Great Demon Cemetery was, according to the discoveries of the foundation-building cultivators who continued to explore later.

That great demon cemetery was exactly the tomb of a golden-tusked elephant.

Moreover, the monks who arrived at the core area of ​​the cemetery also discovered traces of quite fierce fighting.

Because of this, in the eyes of Li Hexuan and Lan Qiluo, the attack of these two golden-tusked elephants on the market must be closely related to Master Jingxing's exploration of the Golden-tusked Elephant Tomb.

But he was a Jindan Zhenren after all. Although they had all achieved fake elixirs, no matter what they did in private, they absolutely could not criticize Zhenren Jingxing in public.

After talking for a few words, Li Hexuan immediately activated his spiritual sense to call out all the foundation-building cultivators in the entire Chishuifang City.

At the same time, Lan Qiluo activated the formation, and rays of spiritual light gathered from all directions, gradually transforming into a blue water shield around the market, enveloping the entire Chishui market.

At this time, the foundation-building monks in the Chishui market responded one after another. They either controlled their escape lights or rode on spirit beasts and quickly came to the south of the market.

At this time, the two golden-tusked elephants had approached the Chishuifang Market.

As the two golden-tusked elephants got closer, the atmosphere in the entire Chishuifang City became tense.

All the monks were ready for battle, waiting for the moment when the two big monsters launched their attack.

None of them chose to run away, not only because if they voluntarily gave up their garrison mission in the face of danger, their merit contribution would plummet.

Moreover, because they had left the market town at this time and were not protected by the third-order formation, the probability of survival was even lower.

The speed of a normal foundation-building cultivator is far slower than that of a third-order great demon.

Moreover, Foundation Establishment cultivators are not like Qi Refining cultivators who will be directly ignored by third-order monsters.

As the roars of the two golden-tusked elephants became deafening, they launched a fierce attack on the Chishuifang City.

The long fangs that sparkled with golden light were as sharp as swords. Every time they were swung, they carried a fierce momentum and struck fiercely on the defensive formation of the market town.

The azure water shield formed by the formation trembled under the attack of the golden-tusked elephant, as if it could collapse at any time.

Lan Qiluo worked hard to keep the formation running.

Li Hexuan led other foundation-building cultivators and launched a fierce counterattack against the Golden-Tooth Elephant.

For a moment, spells and magic weapons intertwined and enveloped the two golden-tusked elephants.

However, these attacks only seemed to itch on their tough skin and hardly caused any substantial damage.

Seeing this, Li Hexuan frowned, he knew very well that this was not a solution.

So he immediately adjusted his strategy and ordered loudly: "Everyone, listen to my command. Focus on attacking the golden-tusked elephant and try to find its weakness!"

Following his order, all the foundation-building monks concentrated their firepower and launched a fierce attack on one of the golden-tusked elephants.

However, even so, the golden-tusked elephant only shook a few times and still stood firmly in place, roaring and waving its tusks, continuing to attack the defensive formation of the market town.

The other golden-tusked elephant took the opportunity to rush to the other side of the formation, trying to find a breakthrough.

Seeing this, Lan Qiluo hurriedly adjusted the power distribution of the formation, trying to block the attack of the golden-tusked elephant.

The golden-tusk elephant's attacks became more and more fierce, and the light of the formation gradually dimmed.

Li Hexuan took a deep breath. He knew that it was time to run away.

Although the garrisoned monks cannot voluntarily give up their garrison mission in the face of danger.

But if the market town is breached, the garrisoned monks can make a strategic retreat.

"I am a fake pill cultivator who has the hope of forming a pill. I cannot die here in vain."

Thinking of this, Li Hexuan glanced at Lan Qiluo beside him.

Lan Qiluo was trying her best to maintain the stability of the formation at this time. She kept adjusting the power distribution of the formation, trying to withstand the fierce attacks of the two golden-tusked elephants.

Her forehead was covered with sweat, but she still gritted her teeth and tried hard to maintain the formation.

When Li Hexuan saw this, he sneered in his heart.

"This crazy woman is pretending to be very convincing."

However, Li Hexuan did not expose her disguise, but shouted loudly to the surrounding foundation-building cultivators: "Fellow Daoists, I have sent a message to Master Jingxing. As long as we hold on until Master arrives, everything will be fine."

Hearing Li Hexuan's words, the foundation-building cultivators around him were all cheered up, as if they saw a glimmer of hope.

They nodded one after another, indicating their willingness to continue to hold on.

However, no matter how high the morale is, it cannot change the fact that the formation is about to be broken.

As time passed, he only managed to hold out for half an hour.

The third-level formation, the Water Curtain Tianhua Formation, was broken by these two third-level monsters, the Golden Tooth Elephants.

At the moment the formation barrier was broken, Lan Qiluo, who was in charge of controlling the formation, was the first to notice it. She turned into a beam of azure light and ran faster than anyone else.

When Li Hexuan saw this, he cursed in his heart.

At the same time, he felt the murderous intent of the Golden Tooth Elephant behind him, and a blood-red aura suddenly ignited around his body, and his speed suddenly increased to a higher level.
