Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 430 Divination
Yuanying Daman died.

Although he was a humanoid creature, he followed the totem path. After his death, his soul did not leave his body like humans, nor did his Nascent Soul fly away to escape.

The four of them gathered in the sky, rode on the back of the Qingluan corpse puppet, and descended from the air.

The Qingluan corpse puppet flew at low altitude on alert.

The four of them jumped off the Luan's back and surrounded the body of the Yuanying Daman to examine it.

But the Yuanying barbarian was holding a wild kudzu vine in his hand. The vine was emitting a metallic glow and was more than ten feet long. It was cut into two parts by the Lingyun Sword.

In addition, he has a beast skin bag around his waist, which is made from the skin of a native monster, the Gulu monster, in the secret realm.

Its strength is weak, but its skin is naturally endowed with spatial properties, similar to the storage bags used in the human world.

Mo Ruyan picked up the two pieces of vines together, which felt heavy in her hands. She opened the animal skin bag and saw a pool of clear water inside with some illusory fish swimming in it.

She used her magic power to restrain a handful of water and hold it in mid-air. The phantom fish in the water wagged its tail and swam happily in the sunshine.

Mo Ruyan carefully scooped up the water with her hands, but found nothing. The handful of water turned into countless water droplets. There was an illusory little fish swimming in each drop of water, but it had no real shape.

She flicked her fingers and scattered a few water droplets, and the water vapor dispersed. The four people smelled it and became more energized, and their magic power was ready to be used.

Especially Shang Tianti, he used the sect's secret medicine and secret method to barely activate the Lingyun Sword. At this moment, his face was as pale as a dead person. After sniffing the mist a few times, there was a hint of blood on his face.

The four of them immediately gathered around to take a closer look.

"This is the black gold vine! It is more than ten feet long. It should be the most valuable thing in this treasure land."

"Its nature is wood, and it is extremely tough. It is a good material for making wood magic weapons."

"What's even more rare is that this item does not lose its properties after being cut into pieces, making it the most suitable for refining magical weapons such as swords and needles."

"It's just that we just got this barbarian and haven't had time to fully refine him yet, so he was easily broken by the Lingyun Sword, and we took advantage of it."

"A quarter of this long black gold vine is enough for each of us to cultivate a magic weapon."

"And this water should be the virtual fish water, it is the best spiritual spring. The water has spirits and gives birth to virtual fish. Virtual fish are invisible and incorporeal, they do not really exist, they only live in the eyes of the spiritual spring. The spiritual energy in the human world is now exhausted and they are almost gone."

"Xuyu water is the most suitable for people to restore their magic power. For those below the Golden Core stage, one drink and one incense stick of time is enough to restore them to their full strength. It works quickly and has no side effects. It is better than any elixir and can also heal wounds."

"Even if it is a Nascent Soul, this water will have a miraculous effect on it."

The four of them were overjoyed.

It turns out that this Yuanying barbarian is quite good, and he is also a boy who brings wealth.

Lu Ye even looked around and peeked in from the perspective of the fish and dragon diagram, and found that there were several places in this treasure land with aura rising to the sky.

He guessed that this Xuyu water should have been snatched by the Yuanying Barbarian from other treasure lands, and now it has become a bargain for them.

Tianjizi immediately said to Shang Tianti anxiously.

"Fellow Daoist Shang, quickly use your Lingyun Sword and chop it twice more to split this black gold vine into four pieces."

During these ten days, Tianjizi acted like an experienced driver, flying on the phoenix. Unfortunately, the other three brought back less and less, and his gains became less and less day by day.

He also knew in his heart that the three men must have hidden something, and he was angry, but he had to suppress it.

He was not worried about the pool of virtual fish water as it could be divided equally among the four of them, but he was eager to divide the black gold vine as well.

These bastards actually dared to tamper with their spoils!
It's really abominable!
Shang Tianti rolled his eyes immediately after hearing this.

“Brother Tian, ​​you know that this Lingyun Sword is a Yuanying magic weapon.”

"I used the sect's secret method and secret medicine, and with the sword's restriction approval, I was able to use tricks to activate it. How could I not pay a heavy price?"

"Now my magic power is exhausted. I can't swing a single sword, let alone two..."

Mo Ruyan laughed on the side.

"Fellow Daoist Shang, if you drink more Xuyu water, won't you be able to wield a sword?"

"But because it is Tian Daoyou who is anxious, I have to deduct from Tian Daoyou's share of empty fish in the water."

"What do you two think?"

Tianjizi shook his head angrily. Isn’t this a losing business?

Forget it. If these three people are too good at tricking me, I have prepared a trump card that will result in both sides suffering losses.

So the four of them divided the Xuyu water on the spot. The Gulu monster's leather bag was filled with spiritual water that was about the length of a person, and everyone got a lot.

As for the black gold vine, none of the four wanted to keep it alone and were unwilling to exchange it for other treasures.

Therefore, the four of them could only wait until they got out of the secret realm to divide the treasures, which would then fall into the hands of Shang Tianti for safekeeping. The four of them agreed that if there were treasures that could not be divided equally, each of them would keep one item in order.

In order to appease Tianjizi, Mo Ruyan also suggested that the golden elixir python skin wrapped around the waist of the Yuanying barbarian be given to him.

Tianjizi got a "treasure" that smelled very fishy, ​​and he became even angrier.

The two treasures were divided.

Everyone was circling around the corpse of the Yuanying barbarian.

This barbarian has strong blood and tough body, and is also a humanoid treasure.

After some research, they found that the barbarian's strong blood and tough body were all due to its special skin, which was three to four times thicker than that of humans.

Everyone discussed it in a whisper.

The best way to maximize its value is to turn this Nascent Soul Barbarian into a refined corpse.

This put the Demon King Qingluan in a difficult situation again.

The barbarians don’t have demon pills, and everyone doesn’t have time to make the puppet’s heart.

So the four of them decided to cut up the Yuanying barbarian on the spot.

Anyway, its magical feature is that its surface is made of skin, which is suitable for making magical weapons such as banners and drums.

Tianjizi drank the water of the Xuyu fish to replenish his magic power, and wielded the Lingyun sword with great vigor. The handsome next-generation leader turned into a butcher, skinning and boned pigs.

Fortunately, after the death of this barbarian, the totem on his skin no longer had anyone under its control, and could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor could it withstand the sharpness of the Nascent Soul-level magic weapon. The entire skin was successfully peeled off and divided among the four people. It was also a top-quality material for a magic weapon.

After the four of them divided the loot, Lu Shangmo and the other two dispersed to search for treasures as usual.

Fortunately, in this treasure land, because of the attack between the Yuanying Barbarian and the Qingluan Corpse Puppet, all the small fish had already been scared away.

Lu Ye and the other three successfully collected a number of Nascent Soul treasures in the treasure land, but returned empty-handed as usual.

Tianjizi was controlling the Qingluan corpse puppet this time. With no major enemies around, he went to pick the flowers and ended up harvesting a Ice Jade Pregnancy Flower.

He looked at the three shameless people pretending to be unlucky, and cursed in his heart, wondering how many treasures these three beasts had hidden away. Needless to say, he was filled with resentment.

The next few days.

The four of them drove the Qingluan Corpse Puppet to other small treasure troves, but they gained very little.

Almost all the pillars of light throughout the secret realm collapsed.

They change strategies in time.

Let "Lan He", the "weakest" among the crowd, fly alone in the front. His ten fingers are full of storage rings, and there are several bulging storage bags around his waist. It can be seen that he has reaped a great harvest.

Lu Ye was willing to be the bait. After all, among the four, he had little experience but was very fast, making him the most suitable candidate.

The other three rode on the Qingluan corpse puppets, concealed their movements, and used invisibility spells to hide their bodies, following Lu Ye from a distance of more than ten miles away.

Sure enough, many big fish were caught along the way.

Seeing that Lu Ye was wealthy, many Jindan became jealous and wanted to rob him. Among them were human cultivators, demon cultivators, and barbarians.

The most outrageous thing is that there are even more than a dozen foundation-building people who are so greedy that they want to swallow an elephant. It can be seen that money can move people's hearts and make them lose their reason.

No matter it is one-to-one or one-to-many.

Lu Ye just watched the lightning flash and then ran away. He estimated his own "initial stage of golden elixir" magic power and created the illusion that his speed was fast but could not last long.

It was not only for the "big fish" to see, but also to reassure the three people on the back of the Qingluan corpse puppet and confuse them.

After all, these temporary allies could turn into backstabbers at any time.

The four of them wandered along the way and gained a lot.

These Jindan "Tribulation Cultivators" who were fished out were almost all very powerful, so their storage spaces were mostly filled with good things, including some fine items.

After a few days, the four counted their harvest and found that it was more than what they had gained from running around to various treasure troves in the past few days.

This makes people sigh that it is indeed true that crooked ways can make money quickly.

The four of them divided the resources among themselves.

Tianjizi smiled crookedly. The "big fish" that were caught were counted in front of the four people, and the other three finally had no chance to make any moves.

His bag also swelled up, and the murderous aura in his chest was finally suppressed.

This day.

The four of them rode the Qingluan to a hilltop, killed a foundation-building demon king, cleared the cave, and took a rest.

This place is right in the center of the secret map.

Fourteen days have passed quickly, and the next day will be the time to open the four pillars of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.

They need a day to rest and adjust themselves to the best condition so that they can go and grab the treasure.

For the whole morning, the four of them drank Xuyu water and took healing pills to regulate their bodies and minds.

Fortunately, with the top-level meat shield of Qingluan Corpse Puppet, the four of them were almost uninjured.

Only Shang Tianti looked pale. He had been looking like this since he used the Lingyun Sword to kill the Yuanying Barbarian that day.

The fish water seemed to be useless in his mouth. He said that he had injured his soul after using the secret technique and it would not heal in a short time. His fighting power was halved. Lu Ye switched to the perspective of the fish and dragon picture. What a guy, he was pretending.

Wait until the sun is past its highest point in the sky.

The four of them worked together again to refine the Qingluan corpse puppet again.

During the half-month battle, the one who worked the hardest was the old witch Qingluan Demon Queen.

Its body, which was more than ten feet long, was covered with scars. Even its long tail was broken, many feathers had fallen from its wings, and most of the long feathers on the back of its neck were also broken. Only two or three of the more than ten golden feathers were left.

It is the biggest reliance of the group in breaking into the Four Pillars Land. Because they have made a fortune recently, the four of them are willing to repair the Qingluan corpse puppet.

They used all kinds of treasures they had recently acquired as long as they were suitable for enhancing the combat power of the Qingluan Corpse Puppet, as if they were free of charge.

For example, the Nine-petal Phantom Grass, a Nascent Soul-level treasure, can be used to separate nine auras into phantoms of the original body within one day's battle to confuse the enemy after taking it.

The Mother Source Fruit is a Nascent Soul-level treasure and a holy medicine for healing. It is not limited to any race and can be used by corpse puppets. After taking it, the Qingluan corpse puppet finally recovered. Its feathers even became more brilliant than when it was alive, and its body became a circle larger.

Soft jade gold, an exotic metal, is an excellent auxiliary material for the Nascent Soul to refine magic weapons. Adding it to magic weapons can make them change freely between hardness and softness. It also has another characteristic that when it is hit, it can instantly disperse the attack force throughout the body of the magic weapon.

Fortunately, soft jade gold is rare and not difficult to refine. It only needs to be added to the formed spiritual weapon, and no advanced sacrificial techniques are required.

So the four of them worked together to stimulate the Dan fire, took the Xuyu water, burst out all their magic power, and added half of the soft jade gold they had obtained into the chest armor they refined for the Qingluan corpse puppet.

When night fell, the four of them stopped practicing. Lu Ye followed the others' example and made his face pale to show that he was about to lose strength.

A loud cry.

The Qingluan corpse puppet flew straight into the sky. Its body was more than ten feet long, covered with gray feathers. In addition, it had a gray half-body armor on its chest and back, which occasionally reflected a ray of dark golden light.

There are more than a dozen long golden feathers under the ribs, evenly distributed on both sides, and more than a dozen long feathers under the neck flutter in the wind.

It flew at a very fast speed, circling the top of the mountain several times in the blink of an eye, and then swooped down from the air and landed in front of the cave.

The four of them looked happy.

"Good!" Tianjizi fiddled with the chessboard and said happily, "This gray feather is good, it's not conspicuous, just right for fishing in troubled waters!"

Mo Ruyan nodded.

"Friend Tian Dao, when we enter the Pillar Land tomorrow, do not hesitate when you encounter a critical moment. Even if it means causing the demon core to explode, you must maximize its attack power."

"The Nascent Souls that enter the Four Pillars Land are either beginners who are trying to gain a great opportunity, or old Golden Cores who are about to reach their age limit and are fighting for their lives."

“There shouldn’t be any Nascent Soul-level figures among them who are extremely talented, but we still can’t underestimate them and take them lightly.”

The Mozhu Secret Realm has always been full of dangers, and countless people have died while entering the secret realm.

Therefore, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators who enter here are brave.

One is a casual cultivator at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul, who has no background but becomes a Nascent Soul by chance. He can see the road ahead at a glance, so he risks his life to enter the secret realm in a quest for opportunity.

The other type is an old Yuanying, whose life span is about to end. In order to survive, he is forced to fight for his life in the secret realm.

Among the latter, there may be very powerful people. After all, the longer they live, the more powerful their magic power is, and the more tricks they have up their sleeves. Of course, due to old age and physical weakness, they may burst out with great power instantly, but they cannot last long.

Of course, truly powerful Yuanying geniuses in a sect who hold top-level magic weapons are extremely rare. They have resources provided by the sect, a bright future, and a long lifespan. Although they are not afraid of fighting, they will not put themselves in danger.

When practicing Taoism, one must seize and fight for things, but this does not mean committing suicide.

If it weren’t for the sudden action of the Blue Luan Demon King, everyone would have been accidentally dragged into the secret realm.

Ru Mo Ruyan is a genius in the magic way, Shang Tianti is the next leader of the sect and has no shortage of resources, Tian Jizi can live for a long time, and Lu Ye has the Fish and Dragon Map. None of them will enter the secret realm.

Shang Tianti clapped his hands in agreement after hearing Mo Ruyan's words.

"When we enter the Pillar Land tomorrow, I estimate that those vying for the treasure will be Yuanying strongmen."

"It's hard to seize treasure, but it's even harder to protect it. We have to make sure we are safe even if it means destroying this Qingluan corpse puppet."

Lu Ye touched his chin and suddenly asked a question.

"Everyone, we are now in the middle of the secret realm. There are four pillars: the east, west, south, north, and blue dragon, white tiger, red bird, and black tortoise. Which one should we go to?"

Tianjizi clapped his hands and laughed.

"That's easy to say."

"The old Taoist has learned a lot of skills, and he also knows a decent divination skill."

"Let me do the math!"

He took out a tortoise shell from his arms, performed a set of complicated techniques, and then opened his mouth to spit out fire to grill it.

After a moment, the tortoise shell cracked and all four corners shattered.

His forehead was sweating and he lost his voice.

"How come it's all broken? All four corners are broken, it's a big disaster!"

"I don't believe it, change it again!"

Next, Tianjizi used copper coins, divination, shaking lots and other methods, and all the predictions were very bad.

The remaining three people looked dismayed.

Shang Tianti asked doubtfully.

"Friend Tian Dao, are you afraid to go? Are you deliberately playing tricks here?"

"How can this be considered a decent divination?"

"Your divination is clearly a divination that is making things difficult for us!"

Tianjizi cried out for help.

"It's really not true...Brother Shang!"

“I figured it out to be like this.”

Mo Ruyan frowned beside him. As a cultivator, he also believed in luck. With such bad luck, would he still go to the Four Pillars Land tomorrow?

Lu Ye tilted his head and smiled.

"My God, I'm asking you this."

"Of course you fell out of the secret realm. Did you expect that you would be imprisoned by the demon king for forty years?"

Tianjizi was stunned and shook his head stupidly.

"I didn't expect that!"

The other three breathed a sigh of relief. How could this guy, who couldn't even predict his own fortune, be considered a master?

Mo Ruyan asked with a frown.

"Friend Tian Dao, please tell me the truth."

"How many years have you practiced this passable art of divination?"

Tianjizi was ashamed and stretched out a finger.

"Friend Tiandao, you dare to tell fortunes after only ten years?" Mo Ruyan was furious.

Tianjizi shook his head violently.

"Uh...actually it's been a year!"

"But I have a talent for divination, and I got the hang of it very quickly!"

"If I hadn't spent half of the year playing chess, I would have made greater progress."

Everyone was speechless.

They actually listened to a divination novice who had been practicing for a year wasting his time.

Tianjizi felt very aggrieved, but after hearing everyone's complaints, he began to doubt his divination skills.

"I, the Taoist priest, am really gifted in divination. Nine out of ten hexagrams are correct..."

"Why is it not accurate this time?"

The other three discussed it.

When the Four Pillars land opens tomorrow, there will surely be fierce fighting. The Nascent Soul cultivators will be divided into four places. If they can go to the place with the least competition, their chances of slacking off will be greater.

But no one could guess where it would go.

The most difficult problems are solved with the simplest methods.

Mo Ruyan took out a golden feather of the blue phoenix, and then wrote the words Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise on the four corners of the ground.

Everyone took turns sealing off their magic power and consciousness, even disabling the use of the true qi in their bodies, and just turned it around casually.

In the end, Tianjizi went to the Qinglong corner, and the other three went to the Suzaku corner.

So everyone decided to go to the Suzaku Pillar tomorrow and set four more rules.

Not going deep into the core area.

Be a good person and don’t steal or rob.

Keeping to one's lot depends on luck.

There is one last rule.

Mo Ruyan said murderously.

"Of course, if there are those ignorant people who come to our door, unless we are unable to defeat them, we will kill them to establish our authority!"
