Journey to the head

Ji Yunrou has now transformed into a snake, a giant white-scaled snake with a graceful body and dazzling light.

The demonic form appeared, the demonic aura was spewing out, the body of the holy snake, the unique aura of the descendant of the ancestral snake spread out, and the blind snakes around all reacted strongly. If this was not a battlefield, I'm afraid they would all be unable to help but worship it.

The centipede clan felt this pure and advanced blood power and were also very excited, roaring and shouting wildly.

The centipede elder's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.

I was worried that you would run away secretly and had no place to find you, and yet you showed up at my doorstep!
In that case, I’ll capture you first!
Its spiritual power moved, its consciousness rolled, and the black gem flew straight towards Ji Yunrou!
Chen Gu was greatly shocked, and he opened his snake lips, and two white lights shot out, chasing after the orb. Those were his innate magic weapons made from a pair of fangs, the twin swords "Erosion of Bone" and "Corruption of Soul".

"Saint!" Chen Gu shouted anxiously, "Why didn't you leave?"

The blind snakes around Ji Yunrou were frightened by the power of the orb, and their bodies were stiff, making it difficult for them to move forward to block the rescue. After all, the orb was closer to Ji Yunrou, and even though the two swords were behind her, the orb had already hit Ji Yunrou in front of her!

As Chen Gu looked terrified and anxious, the white-scaled snake suddenly opened its mouth wide, with its upper and lower jaws turned almost 180 degrees.

A ray of five-colored light was spurting out from its huge mouth!

As the light passed, the pitch-black orb suddenly stopped in mid-air, uttering a low groan as if it could not bear the weight.

As the centipedes and blind snakes watched and investigated in disbelief, another figure flashed out of the white snake's mouth. Five-colored light shot up into the sky from his palms, and the terrifying aura of destruction made all the aliens present tremble.

Chen Gu exclaimed in surprise: "It's you!"

The centipede elder was also surprised: "Another human monk!"

The crane feather cloak on his body rustled, and five-colored divine light flashed in his palm. The person who emerged from the body of the white-scaled python transformed by Ji Yunrou was Lu Qian!
If he enters the scene in person, he might be targeted, and even the blind snake might not help him. It would be even more difficult to hit and destroy the black ice orb with the five-colored divine light.

After much deliberation, he had to choose this plan, using Ji Yunrou as bait to lure the centipede to get the pearl, while Lu Qian hid in the snake's belly.

Although it feels a bit strange to come out of Ji Yunrou's body, it doesn't matter as long as I can succeed.

At that moment, Lu Qian seized the opportunity and activated his supernatural powers!
Supernatural power: five-colored divine light!
Five beams of light, white, green, black, red and yellow, shone brightly, rushing back and forth, enveloping the black gem.

The orb emitted rolling cold air and dark waves, but in front of the five-colored divine light, it was torn to pieces in one encounter.

The next moment, one could hear a series of crackling sounds. The black gem was covered with cracks, and five-colored light poured out from the gaps.

Boom!

Under the dull gaze of the centipedes, this precious orb that had been bought at a huge price suddenly shattered, and a dark icy ripple spread out, freezing the slow-moving centipedes and blind snakes in place without distinguishing between you and me.

Lu Qian looked at the dark icy ripples, and something occurred to him. In addition, this orb was obviously a secret treasure made by a human cultivator, so he immediately made a guess.

Ji Yunrou shouted, "The Ice Orb has been broken. The situation has reversed. My men, counterattack and kill the enemy!"

Chen Gu reacted, roared excitedly, and rushed towards the centipede elder. Following him were a group of blind snakes who were full of anger and howling.

An hour later, the Chen family blind snake clan and Lu Qian returned to the huge stone chamber.

The battle was frustrating at first, but exciting at the end, but it also resulted in great losses. The bodies of about a dozen blind snakes in the foundation-building stage were gathered and placed on the floor of the stone chamber.

Fortunately, there was only one Jindan-level tribesman who was seriously injured and no one lost his life, otherwise the loss would have been too great.

The blind snake tribe held their own unique funeral here. Pythons and snakes of various sizes and colors circled around the bodies of their tribesmen, lowered their heads and mourned silently. This lasted for about ten breaths.

Then Chen Gu raised his head and said in a low voice: "Eat!"

"Your flesh and blood will be with us forever!"

Under Lu Qian's astonished eyes, a group of blind snakes pounced on the corpses of their own kind on the ground and began to tear and swallow them in big mouthfuls. For a moment, blood was everywhere and the stench was overwhelming.

Lu Qian took a few more glances and was slightly relieved to see that Ji Yunrou did not participate. It seemed that she had not yet completely transformed into a demon. At least her mind was still the same as that of a human. However, as time passed, she lived with the unruly demons in this dark underground demon country. I am afraid that this human mind could not be maintained for long.

If there is a chance to meet again, I don’t know what Ji Yunrou will become.

Call it a funeral or a dinner party, after it was over, Chen Gu shook his body, and the huge snake body shrank rapidly, and the scales collapsed inward and gradually disappeared. After a period of wriggling of flesh and bones, a pale, beardless and hairless bald man appeared in front of Lu Qian.

This is not a simple illusion of a foundation-building monster, nor is it different from the introverted demonic energy and solid illusion of a golden elixir monster. Instead, it is a true Nascent Soul monster that can transform its monster body and truly become a human body.

From this point of view, we can also see the unique advantages of the human race.

It is said that human limbs are able to sense heaven and earth.

The sky is round and the earth is square, so the human head is round and the feet are square. The sky has the sun and the moon, and the human has two eyes; the earth has nine states, and the human has nine orifices; the sky has wind and rain, and the human has joy and anger; the sky has thunder and lightning, and the human has voice; the sky has four seasons, and the human has four limbs; the sky has five sounds, and the human has five internal organs; the sky has six rhythms, and the human has six internal organs; the sky has yin and yang, and the human has men and women; the year has 365 days, and the human has 365 joints; the earth has twelve meridians, and the human has twelve meridians.
They have a connection between heaven and man, so their enlightenment is far superior to that of other races. They are truly the darlings of heaven and earth and the rightful first ruler of the world.

The Cordyceps spirits and all kinds of demons practiced in order to transform into human form, so that they could imitate the human body to sense the world and thus smoothly advance to the great way. Until the Nascent Soul stage, they could finally transcend their true form and obtain a human body.

Then again, from this perspective, Ji Yun's transformation of her human body into a demon body was a helpless act due to her dying years, and it was actually putting the cart before the horse.

The man transformed by Chen Gu had no beard, no hair, and no eyebrows. There were only two sunken holes where his eyes should be, making him look like a bare egg, which was very strange.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned, revealing a mouth full of fangs, looking even more ferocious.

"What the Saint said is right. You are a good person." Chen Gu said, "You helped us defeat the centipede, protected the Saint, and saved many lives of my people."

"Forget about the accidental killing of Chen Hui. Lu Qian, although you are a cultivator of the human race, you have also gained the friendship of our Chen clan blind snake."

The blind snakes were indeed very simple, their emotions were much simpler than humans, and things were going more smoothly than expected. It seemed that with Ji Yunrou's skills, it would be no problem for her to control the power of this blind snake tribe in the future.

"I am the Saint's friend, so the matter of Chen's blind snake is naturally my business. Thank you, Elder Chen Gu, for your generosity and forgiveness."

These words made Chen Gu even more satisfied: "You are different from the treacherous and cunning human race in the rumors. If all human races are like this, we would like to do some business on the ground."

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows, not expecting an unexpected surprise.

"My Yunshan Sect is also well-known on the ground, and the resources within its jurisdiction are rich. What kind of deal does Elder Chen Gu want to make?" Chen Gu also showed a happy expression. That was really great: "My clan originally made a living by hunting. We collect earth elemental spirits and rare species along the ground veins, and then bring them to the Holy City to sell in exchange for the needed supplies."

"We need a large amount of molting yellow flowers, black bone bamboo whips, dragon dung stones, and cavity-clearing insect eggs..."

After a series of supplies were reported, Lu Qian was a little dumbfounded. This was because these things were all materials owned by the alien demon race, and most human cultivators had never even heard of them!

If it weren't for the fact that Xuan Jun's collection of books was profound and vast, and if Lu Qian's knowledge of collections was not astonishing and his memory was not strong, Lu Qian would have been staring blankly when Chen Gu reported these names.

The key is that knowing these names and understanding these materials is useless. Whether it is the Yunshan Sect or even the human sects in the entire Cangzhou, none of them have these things!

Although Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat, he remained calm and asked, "Do the underground tribes still like to barter? Do you use spirit stones to trade?"

However, he was thinking that as long as they needed spirit stones, the Yunshan Sect would have no problem doing that.

Nazhi Chen Gu shook his head and said, "Although the spirit stones are useful, we think they are not very useful. It is best not to trade with spirit stones."

It turns out that spirit stones are hard currency among human cultivators, because human cultivators not only use spirit stones in cultivation and breaking through barriers, but also consume them intensively in refining equipment, refining pills, making talismans and other immortal arts.

They are consumed in large quantities, circulate quickly, and have great value. As a result, spirit stones have become an equivalent exchange item for human cultivators.

However, among the monsters, they are more inclined to rely on their own talents for cultivation and fighting. Very few are good at refining weapons, making pills, and making talismans. Compared with humans, they are still in a completely ignorant state in the development of the hundred arts of cultivation.

Even when practicing, they rely more on underground spiritual veins, and when breaking through barriers, they rely more on the spiritual energy and essence contained in the flesh and blood of monsters.

As a result, spirit stones are not used much, and the monsters are more inclined to barter.

Lu Qian was inevitably disappointed. The Yunshan Sect did not have the monster supplies that the blind snake clan needed, and they did not want to trade with spirit stones. So how could they reach a consensus?

Ji Yunrou suddenly laughed and said, "My clan thinks that the treasures and talismans used by human cultivators are quite useful. I wonder if the Yunshan Sect has them?"

Chen Gu also nodded and said, "Yes, if the centipede tribe had not obtained the icy orb from a human female cultivator, how could our tribe have been at a disadvantage? This shows that the things refined by human cultivators are still very useful."

Treasures and talismans!
Exchange for earthworms produced underground, as well as rare and precious species!
Lu Qian's heart beat faster.

But at the same time, the information about the "Ice Orb" of the "human female cultivator" also caught his attention.

……

On the hillside of Mianlong Mountain, in a remote corner far away from the main road, there is a flat medicinal herb garden. Behind it is a small building covered with vines, which is very elegant and quiet.

This is Liu Zaijiu's house. As a member of the inner sect with a relatively high rank, he wears three golden feathers, is a key talent in spiritual medicine cultivation, and controls a 200-acre spiritual medicine garden. Naturally, he is qualified to enjoy a private building.

It's just that Liu Zaijiu seldom comes to this house. He spends most of his time in Lingsha City. First, he takes care of the spiritual medicine plantation there, second, he participates in and presides over the spiritual medicine sales in Lingsha City, and third, there are few core disciples of Yunshan School there. Instead, he feels that he is far away and more at ease.

But here, on Mianlong Mountain, it was too close... It was only a few miles away from the ruling center of Yunshan Sect. You could even hear a sneeze.

What’s even more terrifying is that there is Elder Wang Yu here, whose eyes are pitch black, he doesn’t look like a living person, and his methods are cruel. He really makes people feel cold.

But today, after coming out of Banlan Liu's house, he somehow ended up returning to his own small building.

I don't know why this happened. It was clearly a crime. Thinking of Elder Wang Yu made me even more terrified. But I just ran back and lay on the bed in a daze.

The strange face on the female cultivator's head lingered in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more vivid and clear it became.

He saw anger, panic, hatred, despair on this face, as well as ridicule, mockery, and even compassion.

It was just killing a casual cultivator, and it wasn't done by me...

Anyway, she has been tricked out and questioned clearly. She is just a helpless cultivator, like weeds on the roadside, she can be broken if she wants, and no one will care.

Over the years, hasn't the Liu family done enough of this? In order to expand the family business, they have taken advantage of others, bullied men and women, suppressed and bullied... These are all gray areas that cannot be avoided if they want to make a fortune.

To be honest, he didn't believe that there were no such troubles during the rise of Yunshan Sect. It was just that his status was not high at that time and he was not aware of it.

There were so many things going on in the Liu family, but I just closed my eyes and pretended not to see them. And everything went smoothly, didn't it?
There were so many things in the past, but I just didn't get involved as deeply as I did this time. I don't worry about having too much debt, so what is there to worry about...

Yes, so many things, so many things...

If it is really exposed!
Liu Zaijiu shuddered, and the female cultivator's head seemed to appear in front of him again. He shouted loudly, and pulled out the green rope magic weapon forward, smashing a cabinet into pieces.

He stared blankly at the debris on the ground, thinking that if Pai Zhong and Wang Yu knew about this, he would probably become like this.

So, I can’t say it, I absolutely can’t say it…

If you do too much bad, nothing will happen... Yes, that's it.

Good people have no future, and those who are neither good nor bad have even less future.

They are unwilling to do good things selflessly, but they cannot bear to do bad things because they feel guilty. So they can only do good things that others do not appreciate, and do bad things that harm others and themselves, making themselves extremely mediocre and being trampled underfoot all their lives. This is the saddest thing.

I can't be like this...

Just as I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Zaijiu was suddenly startled, turned over and sat up, holding the magic weapon in his hand.

"Who?!"

"Brother!" A cheerful female voice came from outside the house, "They said you were here today. Open the door quickly, I'm back!"

"I succeeded in building my foundation!" (End of this chapter)
