Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

Chapter 297 The Art of Nightmare Town
Liang Xiao stood on top of the cave and used the Holy Demonic Art to defeat the strange black energy.

I only felt that the invisible sense of oppression that originally covered the white jade peak suddenly dissipated and ceased to exist.

Soon, most of the mountain spirit beasts who had fallen ill and languished regained their strength, stood up and began to look for food to regain their strength.

However, there are still some soul beasts whose condition deteriorates very quickly and is about to die.

Thinking of these creatures, they also suffered the disaster of pond fish for nothing.

When Liang Xiao saw this, he never gave up on them.

After thinking for a moment, he took out several spiritual pills and crushed them into powder.

"Then let it rain heavily to wash away the bad luck!"

A moment later, along with the sound from the clouds, a cloud of rain condensed at an extremely fast speed.

This rain cloud is impartial and only covers the sky above the white jade peak.

Along with the sound of wind and thunder, big drops of rain poured down.

The raindrops almost formed a line, washing over every plant and tree on the white jade peak, leaving no trace behind.

Those spiritual beasts who were about to die had no strength to avoid the wind and rain, and could only huddle in a ball, which was very pitiful.

But the rain falling on them was not freezing cold.

On the contrary, there is a vigorous and powerful medicinal power that penetrates into the bodies of these spiritual beasts along with the rain, helping them to boost their vitality and eliminate their ailments.

"Master, the feng shui energy of the cave has been restored!"

"It's just that the enemy's method is a bit unusual. Maybe there will be another one, so we have to make plans in advance."

After Athena finished speaking, she raised her hand to divine the opponent's movements.

But just as she was reaching a critical moment.

The six-yao copper coins spinning rapidly in front of him were suddenly collided by countless air machines that appeared out of thin air, thus losing their effectiveness.

Athena had a strange look on her face, and she performed divination several times in succession, only to find that it was the same every time.

"How is this going?"

Liang Xiao was a little confused when he saw this scene. You must know that ordinary divination usually only has three results.

The first result is naturally that the divination is successful and the corresponding hexagram is obtained.

The second result is that the opponent conceals the secret and cannot find this person during the divination, so the divination fails.

The third result is that the opponent's luck is too amazing, or his cultivation strength is beyond imagination.

This last and worst case scenario means that his divination will not only fail, but also suffer terrible backlash.

It can be said that the backlash of heavenly secrets is the most feared situation for cultivators who practice heavenly secret divination.

A backlash will easily consume a large amount of blood and essence, evaporating hundreds of years of life into thin air.

Even Divination Girl's puppet body would be horribly damaged, requiring Liang Xiao to spend his energy and materials to repair it.

But now the fortune-telling about Zhang's resurrection, the great shopkeeper of Heijiaolou, has revealed a fourth situation.

"Master, these miscellaneous qi machines that interfere with divination should belong to different people."

"This can be regarded as an alternative way of concealing the secrets."

"The opponent should have a way to steal the luck and luck of different people and use it to protect himself."

After Athena took back the six-line copper coin, she still made a judgment based on the existing situation.

That Zhang Resurrection was also a well-known Nascent Soul genius within the Hongyun Demon Sect, so it was normal to have some means of guarding against divination.

"Zhang Fusheng and I are still far behind in our realm."

"If you come directly to the door for questioning and you can't produce evidence, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain any advantage and you will definitely be at a disadvantage."

"I will remember today's grudge first."

Liang Xiao's thoughts swirled in his mind. After a while, he slowly exhaled and regained his composure.

At the same time, he had to admit it.

A few days ago, in order to obtain the artifact drawings as quickly as possible.

He did not handle many things perfectly in Hongyunfang City, which led to the current disaster.

"Extreme joy brings sorrow, this is the most reasonable principle in the world."

"Although I don't regret what I did in the past, it should serve as a warning."

"You must know that a person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile. The closer you are to success, the more cautious you must be."

"The artifact blueprints will not escape in the sect's treasure house."

"I was so impatient that I even ignored some risks that I had noticed, intentionally or unintentionally."

Liang Xiao raised his hand and knocked on his head, thinking calmly about himself.

He is not afraid of powerful enemies, but he feels that a confrontation without benefits or gains will be a loss no matter how you calculate it.

"That's all, when my divine weapon is finished, I will have one more touchstone!"

"Anyway, within the Demonic Sect, whether you want to improve your status or snatch precious resources, you will have to confront others sooner or later."

“It’s not a big mistake to make a name for yourself earlier!”

Liang Xiao thought through this section and his thoughts were gone. He already knew what he had to do next, which was to refine the artifact.

In the world of cultivation, the best way to resolve grudges is to improve one's own strength.

Speaking of which, after several days of study, Liang Xiao now has some understanding of the artifact drawings of the Great Tribulation Qi Killing Formation.

As long as you collect the materials for refining the weapon, you can start refining it soon.

Of course, collecting materials for refining artifacts is far from simple as it seems.

If only artifacts were that easy to acquire.

In the treasure house of the Lucky Demon Sect, it was impossible for Liang Xiao to exchange the artifact drawings at a relatively low price.

The artifact is a fifth-level magic weapon, and accordingly it requires at least a fifth-level main material to be useful.

Take the Great Tribulation Qi Killing Formation, an artifact as an example.

It requires fifth-level main materials with four attributes: earth, fire, water, and wind, and 72 kinds of fourth-level rare auxiliary materials.

Only in this way can the crude embryo of the artifact be refined.

Liang Xiao looked at Athena and asked, "How many spiritual stones can I use to replace resources that I can directly call now?"

Athena is responsible for managing Lingshi Investment and many industries. She is very clear about these and responded immediately.

"Except for high-quality assets suitable for long-term holding, such as the Northern Territory's high-grade spiritual stone mines, the owner currently has approximately 11 billion spiritual stones suitable for disposal."

Liang Xiao rubbed his chin. He was a master of weapon refining. He knew the price of weapon refining materials very well and quickly came to a conclusion.

That was his spirit stone, which was only enough to buy all the fourth-level auxiliary materials at most.

The materials for fifth-level artifacts are expensive, and it doesn’t matter whether Liang Xiao can afford them or not.

The most important thing is that most of these good treasures will be sacrificed and refined into their own natal magic weapons, and will not be sold at all.

"I have already made a plan for the origin of the fifth-level divine material. I will go and collect all the auxiliary materials for the divine weapon first."

"Although the fourth-level materials are also rare and abnormal, they only appear sporadically in auctions in the outside world."

"But I visited Hongyunfang City twice last time."

"Those Tianjiao disciples are all very lucky. They have a lot of fourth-level treasure materials in their hands. They should be able to collect them all."

With a thought in his mind, Liang Xiao attracted a ray of power from Xutian Divine Mirror and entered Hongyunfang City.

When he appeared in Hongyunfang City in Xutian Realm, the location where he appeared was exactly where he left last time.

Liang Xiao glanced casually and could even see four corpses turned into bones in the corner.These four bones come from the Black Corner Tower minions that he killed last time.

The virtual world is extremely real, except for the elders who use the power of fairy weapons to "refresh and maintain" the illusion.

Otherwise, these corpses and bones will always exist in the virtual world until they are exhausted by time.

However, Liang Xiao did not pay too much attention to this.

He quickly looked away and began to search for the required weapon refining materials in the market.

And along the way, I saw many disciples’ stalls with fourth-level treasures filled with aura!
"Thousand-year Golden Soul Stone, Void Iron Essence, Blue Sea Agate, Netherworld Soul Wood... are all useful materials. Although the price is not cheap, it is still reasonable."

Liang Xiao nodded and without any further hesitation, he took action immediately when he saw a suitable fourth-level treasure material.

Often a deal is reached with the stall owner in just a few words, which is extremely efficient.

This is because the stall owners in Hongyunfang City are the best in terms of cultivation and vision.

They are also very clear about the value of the treasures in their hands, and there is basically no possibility of them being picked up.

In this way, if you really want to sell, the price will already be clearly marked on the stall.

Because of this, the transactions here are not as haggling and cunning as those in the outside market.

After all, buyers and sellers are not ordinary people, and it is impossible to hide all kinds of tricks from shrewd opponents. They waste energy in vain and make people laugh.

As time went by, the current trading model of quick buying, quick selling, and no-nonsense trading was formed.

"Fellow Taoist, please stop by and take a look at the elixirs. The newly released fourth-level heavenly elixirs are sold cheaply!"

At this moment, a rather familiar voice suddenly came from a roadside stall filled with porcelain bottles of elixirs.

Liang Xiao looked around with some surprise on his face.

It turned out to be the man in red robes who sold him fifteen fortune crystals a few days ago.

Although this guy is quite tall, his appearance is ordinary and he really has no distinguishing features at all.

If it merges into the crowd, nothing will be revealed.

Even a powerful cultivator like Liang Xiao, who has a photographic memory, might ignore him as a passerby.

This time he took the initiative to solicit.

He probably saw that Liang Xiao had a lot of money, was generous and quick with his dealings, and was an out-and-out high-quality customer.

Although Liang Xiao did not have a strong need to buy elixirs at the moment.

However, considering that the red-robed man had reminded him before, it was considered a good fate, so he walked over.

"Brother Taoist's alchemy skills are quite good. He can actually refine heavenly elixirs!"

After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he asked if he could check the quality of the elixir. The man in the elixir robe was very grand and said he could just look at it.

"What a pure medicinal power!"

"This rejuvenation elixir is at least [-]% more powerful than elixirs of the same level. It is really rare."

Liang Xiao was not polite, he picked up a bottle of Tiandan, uncorked it, and after just a slight sniff, his eyes lit up.

"Hahaha, it's a coincidence. The last time I went out for training, I accidentally entered a secret realm of void."

"There are many rare medicinal herbs that have grown for more than ten thousand years. The older the medicinal materials are, the more powerful they will naturally be."

The man in the red robe saw that Liang Xiao also knew how to make alchemy.

The most important thing is to see the latter starting to take out spiritual stones, and there is a look of intimacy on his face.

"Fellow Taoist, I want this elixir. 2000 million spirit stones are indeed quite cheap."

Liang Xiao smiled and gave the spirit stone. You must know that the supply of Tiandan in the world of cultivation is always in short supply, so he will not suffer any loss if he buys it.

And more importantly, Liang Xiao wanted to make friends with this person and see if he could get some information from him.

However, Liang Xiao did not reveal his intention directly. Instead, after buying the elixir, he left very gracefully.

After wandering around for half a day and collecting all the required fourth-level auxiliary materials, he turned back.

At this time, Liang Xiao saw that there was no more business coming to the elixir stall for a while.

So I naturally said hello to the man in the alchemy robe, who was very skilled in alchemy, and started chatting.

It turns out that the man in the alchemy robe is named Han Lin, a fourth-level alchemy master with a mid-level Nascent Soul cultivation level.

The last time I remembered it, I reminded Liang Xiao.

It was because Han Lin had been outbid by Black Corner House for selling elixirs, and he was also dissatisfied with it.

"Speaking of which, you openly purchased Lucky Crystals at a premium in Hongyunfang City."

"With your strength at the Golden Core stage, I'm afraid it's easy to become the target of Black Corner Tower. Have you met any of their people?"

Han Lin suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but look curious.

He had been obsessed with alchemy these days, and had only vaguely heard the news that someone had offended Heijiaolou again.

But I don’t know if that person is Liang Xiao.

"Not long after Brother Han left, I met the people from Heijiaolou while I was still in Fangshi."

Liang Xiao spread his hands, met the other person's gaze, then wiped his neck, and said calmly: "Those people didn't know how to live or die and threatened me, so I killed them all."

After Han Lin was stunned, he laughed, feeling very happy, and gave Liang Xiao a thumbs up.

Then the alchemist seemed to have thought of something.

A solemn look flashed across his face, and he said slowly: "Then you must have seen Zhang Fusheng's Nightmare Suppression Technique."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. It seemed that his guess was correct.

Han Lin got started much earlier than Chen Jiu.

Therefore, I have a deeper understanding of the methods of a veteran Yuanying disciple like Zhang Fusheng.

He immediately bowed his hands and said, "Some strange things have indeed happened in the cave recently, and I was about to ask Brother Han for advice."

Han Lin sighed when he heard this, thinking that it was indeed Heijiaolou's style. However, after thinking about it for a while, he did not refuse Liang Xiao.

It turns out that Zhang Fusheng had an adventure, received the inheritance of the ancient Nightmare Demon Sect, and was proficient in the art of Nightmare Suppression.

This nightmare suppression technique is also called the victory-weary technique.

This is a magic that has been passed down from ancient times and is actually widely spread in the world of cultivation.

Even some evil sorcerers in the mortal world who have no magic power can still play tricks.

It's just that the power of the victory-weary technique performed by these people is too weak.

For those who have great luck to protect their bodies, it will not have any impact, and will also damage their own energy, which is very useless.

There was a reason why Liang Xiao didn't recognize the details of the black energy on top of the White Jade Peak.

Because the difference between Zhang Fusheng's Nightmare Suppression Technique and the common evil magic methods in the world of cultivation is really huge.

According to Han Lin, Zhang Fusheng has mastered the art of Nightmare Suppression to an extremely high level.

His Nightmare Suppression Technique can not only be used on beings with overwhelming luck, but it can also destroy other people's luck and make them go crazy.

You can even turn it into your own use, collecting the luck and luck of others and using it to protect yourself from various disasters and help your cultivation.

"No wonder the Black Corner Tower minions once shouted that my future in the sect is over."

"So that's what it means. Thinking about this chapter of resurrection, I have used this evil technique on other disciples before."

Liang Xiao's eyes flashed, and he had completely understood.

"This person runs this Black Corner Tower firstly to gain spiritual resources."

"Secondly, I must be deliberately searching for targets, plundering invisible luck, and killing two birds with one stone. It's a good plan!"
