Devour

Chapter 299 Hercules Quao

Ghost King Xiyi swallowed a dozen thunder ghost heads, patted his belly and said lazily: "I rushed there immediately and tried my best to chase the movement, but I didn't even see a single person. The thief escaped. I would like to trouble all brothers and friends to track him down."

Wen Ji opened his mouth but could not say anything. He was stunned. "I didn't say that to play along. I was really reminding you that the situation was unusual... That's all. He just wanted to find someone to take the blame."

The Dharma King Miaoyin said solemnly: "My Lord, you are a mighty and brave warrior. How could you let these villains take advantage of your chaos to plot against you? This matter must be investigated to the end!" He was very dissatisfied in his heart: "Gui Mang is too lazy and likes to say that he is very capable. He found a scapegoat and explained to the other lords, and he is just delaying it as much as possible."

Gou Yifan noticed the discord with others and quickly agreed, "You all have farsightedness and your words make sense."

"Eat and drink as much as you can, don't be polite." Ghost King Xiyi raised his cup to toast, and drank it all in one gulp. "I have a good relationship with Lord Kua'e of the Battle Plains, so I can just say hello and we can go ahead and charge and kill."

Yong Yao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Ghost King, for your help."

Cai Youling responded, "Thank you for your hospitality, Lord. We will certainly do our best."

Ghost King Xiyi smiled and said, "No problem! I will send people to gather the lords of the first few levels tomorrow, and together we will be able to hunt down and intercept the Tian Tun Sect, and we will definitely be able to take back the treasure. Let's form an alliance, good brothers, and don't miss the opportunity to put a bounty on the head!"

Yong Yao and Cai Youling cheered in unison: "Don't worry, Ghost King, we will do our best to kill the enemy and gain merit!"

Ghost King Xiyi laughed loudly, picked up a large plate of reggae hearts and poured them into his mouth. He chewed them into a paste and swallowed them. He burped loudly and said with a grin, "If two powerful people join hands, what can we do? I will spend a lot of money to treat you with double the hospitality. Come on! Add more food and wine, let's get drunk tonight!"

The big and small ghosts were busy serving.

Seeing the blood wine and rotten meat being served to the table like water, how could everyone eat them? They just smiled falsely and exchanged pleasantries.

The Tian Tun Sect is about to be attacked by a coalition of various forces. Is it really going to fall into crisis?

……

Taking advantage of the quiet night, Cheng Bai sacrificed the Four Elephants Cauldron to erase the mark of the old owner of the Mountain and River Whip, and handed it over to Bei Tingjun to recognize it as the new owner. The team has one more treasure, which is beneficial to improve its combat power.

Then he started tonight's work. Cheng Bai picked out three spiritual plums, three spiritual fruits, a nine-leaf ground ganoderma, and a purple bell from the inventory and put them into the cauldron. Half an hour later, he refined a Bingqing Zhenshen Pill.

Everything has gone smoothly from the time he refined medicine to now, and his Qi-combining technique has reached a higher level, reaching the realm of Qi Refining.

When the elixir is ready and the furnace is opened, a fragrance like orchid and musk spreads out.

A bright black pill slowly rose from the mouth of the cauldron, like a miniature planet wandering in the endless starry sky. Its entire body was hazy with a soft and cool holy light, illuminating the entire cave with a dim glow, bringing a mysterious atmosphere of calm and tranquility.

A Pu was so fascinated that he suddenly woke up and said, "Is this... is this the legendary Bingqing Zhenshen Pill?"

Cheng Bai nodded and said, "That's right, the alchemy was very successful. The fifth-grade fine holy elixir Bingqing Zhenshen Dan can calm the inner demons, repair the meridians, cure the evil spirits, and help the cultivators overcome the three disasters."

A Pu stared at the pill with shining eyes, and asked impatiently: "I saw that you added an important herb, is it called Tonglingmei?"

Cheng Bai said honestly, "Brother, you have a good eye indeed. It is the Spiritual Plum. I got some by chance and just gathered all the spiritual medicine I needed."

A Pu's face was full of surprise, and he quickly asked, "Can you help me refine a few Bingqing Zhenshen Pills?"

Cheng Baidao said: "Of course, have you collected all the herbs?"

A Pu smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know why I can't gather all the herbs for the recipe. I just heard from my seniors that the most difficult to find purple bells and spiritual plums have never been seen in the Five Continents."

Cheng Bai calculated the price and said seriously, "I will do my best to help you with what you need. One Bingqing Zhenshen Pill is priced at 14,000 taels of black gold, but the number of precious medicines and spiritual roots is limited."

"Brother, just be straightforward. Please refine five." Apu flipped through the Sumeru mustard seeds, counted out 70,000 taels of black gold and handed them to Cheng Bai, then stepped away and waited quietly, as if trying to avoid suspicion.

After all, for a spiritual medicine master, the formula is a top secret. However, Cheng Bai's operation in the cauldron is fast and secretive, and unless someone is willing to teach, others cannot see it clearly.

After preparing the medicinal materials, Cheng Bai put them into the Four Symbols Cauldron one by one, concentrating on practicing the Qi He technique to continue refining the elixir.

The flames in the Four Symbols Cauldron were blazing. Under the guidance of the combined Qi, the carefully prepared elixirs were constantly rolling and changing in the cauldron, releasing their unique medicinal properties, blending with each other to produce transformations and give birth to new life.

After a busy night, five perfect Bingqing Zhenshen Pills were produced one after another.

"The four leaves are extremely efficient, and the combination of Qi is exquisite. So far, there has been no record of failure in alchemy." Cheng Bai sealed the pills one by one, stood up to stretch his muscles and bones, and drank a few sips of Ice Flame Thunder God Wine. After a busy night, he did not feel tired at all, but his body and mind were full of energy.

With the help of Heqi technique, the two complement each other, and refining medicine is equivalent to cultivation. It not only improves the efficacy and quality of the medicine, but also greatly benefits one's own cultivation. The higher the realm, the greater the benefit.

A Pu saw the finished product from afar and hurried over to take the finished pill. He said with surprise, "This is a fifth-level holy pill! I thought only the spiritual medicine master Jiang Jie, nicknamed 'the sixth best in the world', could make it. I didn't expect that fellow Daoist Baidi is no less capable."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "I'll do my best. But why did you ask for the Bingqing Zhenshen Pill? Only immortals above the Three Life Realm or even the Tribulation Realm can use it!"

A Pu said earnestly, "There is a senior in my sect who is in urgent need of this kind of medicine. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."

"Since Apu is so concerned, he probably isn't telling the truth. Maybe that person is closely related to me, and it's not just someone else's business." Cheng Bai thought to himself as he packed up his things.

The dark wind has dissipated, and a new journey begins.

"Xinnong, open the door." With the usual chant, the team was teleported to the fifth-level stone pillar.

Looking up, the huge stone pillars towering into the sky are khaki in color, which is obviously different from the previous layers. The light diffused on the Battle Plain is brighter than that of the upper layers, but it is still dim.

Everywhere you look, there is a wasteland of rocks and gravel, with occasional protruding craters and sloping hills interlaced to form a monotonous but unique landscape.

In a moment, the mountain peaks rolled and turned into a rushing torrent, forming a waterfall of stone, ruthlessly crushing all fragile objects along the way, and then solidified and bulged in certain areas, reuniting to form new peaks. This cyclical geomorphic miracle is more common in the Battle Plains than volcanic eruptions.

Zhai Xufei said: "The sudden mudslide is a very unique and bizarre phenomenon in the Zhengzhan Plain. The culprit of the disaster is not nature, but man-made."

There lives a barbarian on this vast continent. In this lonely world, his only pleasure is to engage in fierce battles with the stone beasts he created.

When he concentrated his mind and cast a spell, the open field would boil. Many rocks and gravels would condense into huge beasts at an astonishing speed, such as a three-headed giant wolf, a two-winged dragon, or a one-horned bull.

Every time he defeated the stone beasts and smashed their bodies, they would scatter into piles of debris. As the magic power gathered and dispersed, the mountains changed accordingly, perhaps preparing for the next battle, or perhaps changing the surrounding boring environment. Over an unknown number of years, vast wastelands and hills and mountains with strange states gradually formed.

Early in the morning, the barbarians had just finished their daily activities and were in a good mood and walked briskly back to the simple huts built with the bones of the ancient god-king. The Battle Plain would then be quiet for a while.

"Is that giant Kua'e?" Cheng Bai saw a towering figure about 1,600 meters tall from afar.

His strong body weighing 12.18 million tons was like cast steel, and the exposed skin had a metallic luster in the mist. His movements were filled with a force that shook the mountains, and his spirit soared into the sky amid the power of all things.

Zhai Xufei said: "There is a Hercules from the ancient tribe, Kua'e. His full name is Kua'e. He is a martial arts fanatic and very irritable. I'm afraid that except for Prince Yemo, no one can have a word with him."
