Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 454 Missing
This precious lump of human flesh passed around in everyone's hands before being returned to Sister Hong who was lying on the bed.

Outside the hospital.

Lan Wutong hurried in, stood in front of Lu Ye, bowed and called him "Master".

Feng Shui turns.

Back then he was called Senior Brother Lu, but now he is Master Lu.

Until now, Lu Ye has only accepted Lan Wutong as his disciple on the entire island. After all, he was the person he had chosen in the beginning. He had reached the foundation-building stage and was loyal and capable. It was good enough for him to be his disciple.

"Wutong, what's the matter?" he asked gently.

Lan Wutong replied respectfully.

"Master, something happened."

"For three consecutive days, several ships we sent to trade with Bilang Island have disappeared."

"What's strange is that the ships that had these accidents were all sailing on busy waterways with dense traffic."

"I have investigated. According to the time calculation, there should have been boats with foundation-building monks from other islands passing by nearby, but they did not notice anything unusual. The people and the boats disappeared."

After hearing this, Lu Ye's expression gradually became serious.

The three thousand large islands in the East China Sea depend on the sea for survival and cover a vast area, which is more than ten times larger than that of Dazhongzhou.

The islands are extremely far apart, and travel between them depends on the convenience of boats, with the help of ocean currents and the magic power provided by the monks on the boats, so that they can travel back and forth quickly.

There are usually two or three Qi-cultivating monks on their own boats, and the boats are engraved with talismans for going with the flow, riding the wind, and breaking the waves. This is a common practice in the East China Sea.

To be able to make such a ship disappear silently in a busy waterway and hide it from the nearby boats manned by Foundation Establishment cultivators, it must have been a Jindan cultivator who did it.

His eyes turned and he wondered who attacked Nakagoshima.

Bilang Island?
It's unlikely. Bilangjun is a person who cherishes his life. When his time is up, he doesn't even dare to venture into the Mozhu Secret Realm. He is busy spending the whole day with his wife.

It is said that he has taken flower petals in the past year and has become dozens of years younger. He pesters his wife to practice dual cultivation every day, hoping to create a villain.

His disciple Ren Zeping would never provoke him before he achieved Nascent Soul stage.

This year, the relationship between the two islands can be said to be extremely good.

The old man doesn't have the guts.

The surrounding Black Mountain Island, Huoyun Island, and Prawn Island?
It doesn't look like either.

Those three Jindan powerhouses have no conflict of interest with me, so there is no reason for them to provoke me.

Moreover, judging from the strength, each of the three islands has only one Jindan, so they would not foolishly provoke me even if they were counting heads.

Is that the Jindan monk passing by?

He suddenly thought of the Taoist Miyan who had been trapped for a year.

This person was tracking the treasure of the Dragon Palace and found it nearby. I searched his soul and found that there was a memory in his brain that was blocked and could not be seen.

Maybe the problem lies with this person.

Lu Ye snorted coldly and looked at Gui Baozhu.

"Old Five, you go with the boat tomorrow. I remember you have the ability to turn invisible in the water. Catch the person behind this."

"There is only one tube of the Immortal Smoke left. You take it with you. If he gets stuck, use it to capture him!"

Lu Ye reached into his storage ring and took out the Taoist Miyan's trump card, the Mixianyan.

This object is placed in a crystal tube and is divided into two parts. One end has blue mist floating in the air, which is very beautiful, while the other end is pure red like a drop of gem liquid.

Red is the antidote and blue is the poison. When used, it can be activated by biting the teeth. It ignores all the defenses of the Jindan level and covers an area within ten feet, making it hard to defend against.

Unfortunately, this was dug out by Taoist Miyan from a cave in ruins. The production method is unknown and only this tube is left.

His reputation as the thirty-sixth thief was probably earned by this Immortal Smoke.

Gui Baozhu took the crystal tube, patted his chest and said loudly, "Brother, just leave it to me."

Because of this incident.

The joyous atmosphere of Wang Hu giving birth to a child was diluted.

Lu Ye stayed for a while, leaving Pan Furong to accompany Sister Hong, then turned around and returned to his high-rise building on the cliff.

This building was built with stones. After it was completed, Shu Chitu used his earth-related magical powers to condense it into one, and it was also covered with runes.

Together with the building where the Guibaozhu is located a hundred feet away, it forms the core of the double-tower formation. Once activated, it can activate the large defense formation on Zhongxiang Island.

Lu Ye entered the tower, but instead of going up, he walked down and into the basement.

Cast a magical spell to dispel the spells of the puppet mechanisms along the way, and the door will open.

In a room of more than ten feet in radius, there was a thin monk sitting there. There were no chains on his body, but on his head and abdomen, there were two circular magic weapons that were cutting into his flesh, emitting a faint light.

When this man saw Lu Ye, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he knelt down and kowtowed.

"senior!"

"You've kept me locked up for a year!"

"I will tell you everything I know, I will tell you everything I know!"

"Please let me live!"

This person was none other than the 36th thief, Mi Yan Taoist, who was captured a year ago.

His spiritual consciousness and magical powers were bound and he was imprisoned for a whole year, and all his pride and strength were worn away.

What's more, he was violently soul-searched by Lu Ye, and his bones are as soft as can be now.

Lu Ye sneered.

"Master Miyan."

"You are dishonest!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Who placed the restriction on your consciousness? What is the part of memory that is hidden?"

"Why don't you tell the truth?"

Speaking of which, Lu Ye had also tried to use force to break the restrictions set by the other party's consciousness.

But every time it was touched, the spirit of Taoist Miyan would twitch violently and become covered with cracks, as if it would completely shatter in the next moment.

Lu Ye tried several kinds of magic tricks, but all were useless, which is why he has been delayed until now.

A look of fear flashed across Taoist Miyan's face and he trembled.

"Senior...can't tell!"

"The restrictions in my sea of ​​consciousness cannot be changed at all. As long as I mention what I said, my spirit body will shatter and fall directly!"

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it!"

He cried bitterly, and it didn't seem fake.

Lu Ye sneered.

"Okay, I just happened to get a secret technique these days, let's see if I can break your restriction!"

An hour later.

Lu Ye rang the jade bell with a dark face.

The door opens.

Two servant disciples walked in quickly with their heads lowered.

They saw Taoist Miyan fainted on the ground, his sweat soaking the floor and blood flowing from all his orifices. If his body was not still twitching, proving that he was alive, they would have thought that he was dead.

Lu Ye walked away in a huff, and two of his disciples skillfully manipulated the Miyan Taoist to clean up the mess.

Return to the secret room at the top of the tower.

Lu Ye lowered his head and pondered.

"It still doesn't work!"

He waved his hand and more than a dozen jade slips flew out of the storage ring. After his spiritual sense was triggered, dozens of glittering scriptures immediately stood in the air and revolved around his body, providing him with reference for how to break the restrictions in Taoist Miyan's spiritual sense.

The fighting in the Mozhu Secret Realm was too brutal.

The Three Demon Kings, Madam Nine Hairpins, the Barbarian with the Stick, Jialuo Ding, the Old Man Yunyan, Tianjizi and a large number of golden elixirs, all fell into his hands.

Let’s not talk about those rare treasures for now.

A lot of jade slips of martial arts techniques were harvested.

Lu Ye no longer cared about the Jindan-level skills.

He also obtained many books on Nascent Soul techniques, but unfortunately most of them were useless to him.

Like Yunyansou's Yanlong Jiudi Method, which uses smoke to enter the Tao, he holds a big pipe every day, and his breath is very problematic. If he practices it, he will be beaten by his wife. It does not match his style of painting, so he cannot practice it.

Madam Jiuchai's swordsmanship is sharp. She controls the flying sword with her spiritual consciousness, traps and kills people with sword formations, and she also has a killer move of combining swords.

However, Lu Ye's path of practicing magic and melee physical training is not suitable either.

The bald donkey Jialuoding has the Lotus Seat Sutra, and also the Blood Relics Method that he realized after he rebelled against Buddhism. One is good, and the other is evil, both are extremely profound techniques.

It's just that Lu Ye is now mainly practicing the Nine-Forging Thunder Technique, so the two books on Buddhist and Demonic Techniques mentioned above are at most of some reference value.

The stick-wielding barbarian contributed a volume of human skin scriptures, which was full of totems, but without the barbarian's special skin, it could not be practiced.

After much selection, he only learned a few techniques in this year.

The first was the Convulsion Hunyuan Needle that helped him the most.

Unfortunately, this auxiliary technique also has limitations.

A maximum of nine Hunyuan Thorns can be cultivated in the spiritual eye. If there are more, the spiritual eye will be torn apart, the spiritual body will be split, and the body will be liberated first.

There were already nine tiny golden thorns gathered in Lu Yeshu's eyes, and he couldn't bear any more.

In the future, when he had reached a higher level of cultivation, all he had to do was trim the thorn longer and thicker, so that he could see the ceiling at a glance.

In addition, he also learned a set of demon skills to strengthen the body of the demon ape.

The source is the three demon kings who died at the hands of Madam Jiuchai. The Thousand Thorn Pig King, the Beautiful Spider King, and the Silver-Eyed Centipede King practiced a book of demon ascension techniques, or a fragment of it, which looked very profound, and talked about how to purify blood and return to one's ancestral roots. It seemed that there was a realm above the incarnation of the spirit later on.

Lu Ye once suspected that this might be the martial arts practiced by the legendary Demon King of Nanhezhou who was elusive.
After a year, the demon ape has benefited greatly. Its health has reached the maximum level of 12, and its speed has also increased a bit. Now it is even faster than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul initial stage cultivator.

There are still some Nascent Soul techniques left, probably obtained by Madam Jiuchai, Yunyan Sou, Jialuoding, and the Three Demon Kings from killing other Nascent Souls.

The quality varies greatly.

The skills that Lu Ye has now are all related to spiritual cultivation, and perhaps they can provide some reference ideas for unlocking the restrictions on spiritual consciousness.

Taoist Miyan is the last among the Thirty-Six Thieves. He made his name by drinking Mixianyan, but he is not a powerful figure.

But the person who placed restrictions on his spirit was very powerful.

Lu Ye estimated that this was at least the method used by a Nascent Soul master, and that the restriction was extremely sophisticated, containing all kinds of traps and superb means, so the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.

Every time Lu Ye explored carefully, for fear of alarming the other party, a thought came to his mind and detonated the restriction.

The night passed quickly.

Lu Ye sighed and waved his hand, and the dozen or so light texts rotating around him disappeared.

The solution has been found, but it is also equivalent to no solution.

There is a method of salvation in the Lotus Seat Sutra of Kalauddin, which requires using the Buddha's light to save the other party for 300 days, so that he will sincerely submit to oneself, and then the technique of inviting the Buddha to enter the body will be performed.

The caster can briefly merge with the spirit of the recipient, thus bypassing restrictions and viewing the memories inside.

pity.

This method of salvation takes decades to master. It takes too long to learn.

There is another method among the Three Demon Kings’ techniques for helping demons ascend to heaven.

The Nascent Soul Demon King can cultivate a visual ability that can break illusions, specifically to break all kinds of restrictions, eliminate illusions, and directly see the truth.

This magical power can only be mastered by masters of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Golden Core Demon King can adopt a clever method to win by quantity.

For example, those monsters that are born with thousands of eyes and compound eyes, such as the silver-eyed centipede king with a thousand legs and thousands of eyes last time, or flies, dragonflies, and butterfly species.

When Lu Ye transformed into a demon ape, he only had two eyes, which was a congenital defect, so he couldn't learn.

There are also a few other methods that are even more bizarre, with all kinds of weird ideas and brain-opening ideas.

For example, the Blood Relics Method transforms oneself into a blood shadow that can attach itself to a person's body, so that one can get a glimpse of the mystery of the memory contained in the restriction.

There is also the cruel Bailing Method, which involves digging out the spirit of a cultivator of the same realm and implanting it into the sea of ​​consciousness of the recipient, using secret methods to promote their merger.

Ten is not too few, a hundred is not too many, the more the better. Erase the memories of other spirits, simply pile up the numbers, and then use violence to open the ban, rely on a group of spirits to share the damage, and take the opportunity to watch the memories.

"Time waits for us!"

Lu Ye was a little worried.

When he first settled down on Zhongxiang Island, he did not dwell on trivial matters. Instead, he pulled Gui Baozhu to unlock the seal on the spiritual veins and set up a defensive formation to ensure that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would not get into trouble if they broke in.

The storage ring in his hand lit up, and immediately took out a bunch of objects, almost filling the entire secret room.

The jewels and precious stones glitter to the sky, and the colorful lights reflect on the wall.

Lu Ye looked at them one by one and sighed, thinking that if any Yuanying realm could snatch him away, he would be really rich.

Even Madam Jiuchai, the greatest thief among the Thirty-Six Thieves, has never been so arrogant, right?
There are four incarnation-level treasures produced in the Suzaku Pillar. One third of the Emperor's Jiang was given to Achou, who formed a light cocoon and is still sleeping. Another third was given to Gui Baozhu, which the Turtle King ate. He grew a flat carapace and his head became smaller. It is still evolving, so the effect is not obvious.

Shu Chitu's cultivation level was limited to Qi training, and he only dared to nibble on the remaining petals. He also learned a magical power of eyes that could see through the ground, his earth escape ability was deepened, his cultivation speed doubled, and even his height grew a lot.

According to records, the Emperor's Liquid can change the body imperceptibly over a long period of time, so Lu Ye could only give up his expectation of becoming fat with just one bite.

On the other Wan Xin Bai Shu, he had not yet decided which martial arts technique to deduce; he had tried the heavy sword without an edge, and when he used it for the first time, he almost sucked himself dry, so it would be best not to use it unless he had to risk his life.

The Zen Sound Golden Bead is an auxiliary magic weapon. Lu Ye has tried it, but unfortunately, the progress of the Rescue Bodhisattva Sutra is slow without killing monsters. The Thunder God Dharma Image that assists the Nine-Forged Thunder Art is not very useful either. However, it can actually accelerate the progress of the Immovable and Indestructible Spirituality Sutra.

The other few are residual magic weapons of the Nascent Soul type, which can be used.

The cracked blood bowl of Jialuoding, the half-broken tin staff, the four broken swords of Madam Jiuchai, the copper pipe that was almost cut off by the explosion of Shang Tianti Lingyun Sword, and the half-broken three thousand year old green wood marrow pillar that was once used by the stick-wielding barbarian.

It was suspected that the short-handled pig thorn stick was painstakingly refined by the Third Demon King using his old body that had transformed after his advancement. There was a broken spider silk rope and a large mirror with hundreds of eyes that was half broken, all of which were also in a half-broken state.

One of the magic spears of the brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao was still relatively intact, and the other one was the Silkworm Demon Net with holes torn by the Lingyun Sword.

This is the Nascent Soul-level magic weapon that he uses to basically identify the victim and the kind-hearted person.

In addition, there were a few unlucky Nascent Soul cultivators who died at the hands of someone above them. They contributed a barely complete set of black gold armor, and a pile of broken pieces that were so completely shattered that they could only be called fragments of magic weapons.

The products of the Nascent Soul Level Secret Realm are as follows.

There is only one Second Life Flower left, ten ounces of Tranquil Spirit Water, and one Transformation Fruit.

Three ounces of the evil water that trapped the infant needed to be combined with auxiliary medicine to be effective, but unfortunately, no Nascent Soul alchemist could be found.

The amount of virtual fish water that can restore magic power and spiritual consciousness is enough to be used lavishly; there are two or three pounds of soft jade gold; one large piece and three small pieces of thousand-layer talisman jade, one large piece is of top grade; two handfuls of broken star sand; a large piece of fire-stored golden essence, and three ice jade flowers that can help the Nascent Soul break through the realm.

He had a bunch of treasures but because his cultivation was not yet at the Nascent Soul stage, he did not dare to exchange them with Nascent Soul cultivators, nor did he dare to look for Nascent Soul-level alchemists or weapon refiners to use them.

It's a bit like holding a golden bowl but still being hungry.

However, Lu Ye did not do nothing during this year.

In addition to the natural spiritual objects, he engraved the imprint of his own forbidden magic power on the above broken magic weapons one by one to erase the marks of the original owners.

Fortunately, all these Nascent Soul masters are dead, otherwise this would have been a huge and time-consuming project.

Lu Ye laughed at himself and looked down again.

There were more numerous and diverse other golden elixir-type treasures. After Lu Ye carefully selected them, he equipped himself with a complete set of spiritual equipment from head to toe.

There are body armor, an invisible cloak, acceleration boots, a storage belt with dozens of grids for storing poisons, medicines, pills, talismans, etc., a protective necklace to prevent spiritual attacks, and also his favorite meteorite iron rod.

Lu Ye waved his hand and put most of the items into the storage ring. He carefully put the ring into a secret chamber that was heavily guarded by a formation.

If he wore this thing in battle, Lu Ye was afraid that he would be distracted and would only be able to use 40% or 50% of his 100% Kung Fu.

Things were so troublesome when Achou wasn't awake yet. There wasn't even a safe place to hide things.

He tied the storage belt around his waist again, and put the spiritual weapons, elixirs, and talismans needed for the Jindan realm battles in it, classified them into different categories. After thinking for a while, he also put the Yuanying level magic weapon black gold armor and the short-handled pig thorn stick in it.

Pack it up.

Lu Ye stood up and pressed the button. The stone wall in front of him suddenly opened with a bang, revealing a whole crystal mirror inlaid on the outside.

This was collected by Gui Baozhu after diving into the deep sea.

Outside the mirror, the sea waves roar and hit the cliffs.

Lu Ye frowned. After a year of uneventful life, happy events happened one after another, but trouble finally came knocking.

I don’t know what’s going on with Gui Baozhu?
If he was not afraid of falling into the enemy's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, someone must be in charge of the formation on the island. He would definitely go out together with Gui Baozhu, one in the open and one in the dark.

-

On the waterway a hundred miles outside Zhongxiang Island.

A ship several meters wide and dozens of meters long, flying the flag of Nakago Island, was breaking through the waves. Many runes were engraved on the fine teak wood. When the runes lit up, the ship moved forward rapidly like a sword breaking through the waves.

Looking from the air, there are other ships several miles ahead and behind the ship, traveling in the same or opposite direction. This is a busy waterway.

There are many dark clouds in the sky today and the sunlight is faint.

On the boat, three monks gathered around the magic circle, inputting magic power to drive the boat forward.

But everyone had a grim look on their faces, as the news of the disappearance of ships on the island had spread.

I wonder if everyone will be unlucky enough to encounter that mysterious black hand today?
No one noticed.

In the sky, a dark cloud suddenly descended, pressing very low.

at some point.

As the breeze blew, the dark cloud changed its shape, and it split into five fingers in the air and suddenly grabbed downwards.

hum...

A huge wave came.

"Oh my god, look!"

Suddenly, a sailor on the big ship cried out in surprise, and saw a huge hand made of thick fog suddenly appear around the hull, with five fingers spreading out and directly wrapping the ship.

Bang.

The ship was shaking violently, and the sailors on it were staggering all over. All they could hear was the creaking of the ship, but unfortunately there was thick fog all around and they couldn't see anything clearly.

Everyone only felt that the hull was lifted up by who knows how many feet, out of the sea surface, and they couldn't even stand steadily.

Several Qi-cultivating monks were shocked. They hurriedly put down the formation plates and each used fireball magic, sharp gold magic, and even used several magic swords to attack the surrounding fog.

However, all the spells were cast into the thick fog without any reaction at all.

"Not good!" One of the monks cried out. The magic sword flew into the fog, and the direct connection with his spiritual consciousness was cut off, and he lost control.

They looked horrified and finally understood why the previous ships had disappeared.

The sea was connected as one, and at a glance it seemed as if the waves and the sky in the distance were connected as one. Mist clouds descended and grabbed the boat and took it away, perhaps using a spell to distort the light.

It is difficult for sailors on other boats a few miles away to capture them with their eyes, and it is also beyond the range of the spiritual sense detection of the foundation-building cultivators.

Everyone on the boat was worried about their fate.

Then I heard a roar from below.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Come down!"

Several waves spiraled up into the sky, piercing into the fog and clouds like thorns.

boom! boom! boom!
The water column and the fog hand clashed violently, the magic power and demonic energy exploded, the ship shook violently, and fell into the water with a bang. Countless sailors were knocked unconscious, and some unlucky ones fell directly into the sea.

Several monks looked up and saw two figures in the sky fighting fiercely.
