Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 426: Outstanding employee Xiao Xianer, the situation in the northwest continent, and preparations for the space trade fair!

At the back mountain of the Xiao family, the eight-colored pill thunder that covered the entire sky dissipated, and a round pill flashing red clouds shot up into the sky, trying to escape from the place where it was born.

But the next moment, a huge hand with fighting spirit condensed in the void, drew an unavoidable trajectory, and instantly took the ammunition into its palm.

Layer upon layer of fighting spirit seals climbed up the surface of the pill, and the pill, which had been struggling violently, suddenly calmed down and lay obediently in the hands of Master Liu Mang.

"A newly created elixir is surprisingly powerful as that of a 5-star Dou Zun. If I practice more of it and use it for myself, wouldn't my Dou Zun be worse than dogs?" Liu Mang thought.

Unfortunately, this is unrealistic. The materials for the eighth-grade elixir are already extremely precious. Although the Xiao family is rich, there are many things that cannot be bought with money.

In the current situation of material shortage, the output of 8th-grade elixirs cannot be guaranteed. Although 8th-grade elixirs are powerful, they also have their flaws. They are easily targeted by special means and can also cause greed.

This pill is called "Tianxin Zaohua Pill", an 8th-grade pill. After taking it, it can greatly enhance the user's comprehension and affinity to the laws of heaven and earth, and develop the brain, enabling the user to possess all kinds of incredible magical powers.

For example, the cicadas know the coming of autumn before the wind blows, mind reading, super computing power, deduction and so on.

After taking this elixir, even the upper limit of Dou Zun can be greatly raised. In the field of 8th-grade elixirs, it is truly a top-grade product.

"The knowledge of alchemy that Yao Chen gave me has been of great help. It has greatly reduced the time it takes me to reach the 8th-grade advanced alchemist. In the realm of 8th-grade alchemists, the only thing that has not been conquered is the 9-color pill thunder pill."

Liu Mang took out the recipe for the elixir given by Yao Chen and discovered that there was only one kind of elixir that could reach the level of Nine-Colored Thunder Pill, called "Tianji Rongrong Pill".

The effect is rather strange. It is a pill that fuses two bloodlines to enhance the essence of the bloodline, and is only suitable for very few people.

Neither Liu Mang nor the Xiao family can use this kind of elixir. This thing is only needed by people or animals who have two powerful bloodlines at the same time. The fused bloodline will be much stronger than any bloodline before the fusion. It is said that this is a peerless elixir recipe passed down by the medicine clan and was created by the Medicine Emperor.

There are too few people who can use this medicine. Except for the offspring from the marriages between ancient bloodlines who have a small chance of inheriting two powerful bloodlines at the same time, no one else has the opportunity to use this medicine.

Among the people in the original novel that Liu Mang knew, only Xiao Yan and Cai Lin's daughter Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yan himself might have the chance to be used.

The bloodlines of the Xiao clan and the Sky-Swallowing Python are both very powerful, both are Dou Emperor bloodlines. If Xiao Xiao inherited both bloodlines at the same time, he could use this elixir to fuse the two and thus create a higher level of bloodline.

However, after Liu Mang's interference, Xiao Yan's chance to continue to be connected with Queen Medusa was almost gone, let alone Xiao Xiao.

"So, I still have to research and create the nine-color thunder elixir myself?" Liu Mang said depressedly.

Although he is rich and has sufficient resources, he cannot waste resources to refine an unused eighth-grade pill to improve his alchemy skills.

Each 8th-grade pill not only requires several or even dozens of 8th-grade medicinal materials as the main ingredients, but also requires tens of thousands of medicinal materials below 8th grade as auxiliary ingredients. For one furnace, the materials alone can be converted into gold coins worth no less than hundreds of millions, not to mention the high probability of failure.

Especially for Gao Se Dan Lei's 8th-grade elixir, the main ingredients are all extremely rare. It is normal for a furnace of materials to cost tens of billions of gold coins, and some are even in short supply. People are scrambling to buy one even if it costs tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

In fact, when it comes to seventh-grade elixirs, they basically cannot be bought with money. They are often exchanged for goods or various conditions. Even auctioneers don’t charge money for them.

If he wanted to go to Zhongzhou to buy heavenly-level fighting skills or techniques, elixirs would be the only thing he could afford.

In the Zhongzhou Space Trade Fair, low-level heavenly martial arts fighting skills are not rare. They can be exchanged for an eighth-grade elixir with five-colored elixir thunder that satisfies the original owner.

Liu Mang currently has only two kinds of 8th-grade elixirs in his hands, one is the self-developed six-color thunder "Hunyuan Longevity Pill", and the other is the "Tianxin Creation Pill" that he just refined.

Although the Hunyuan Longevity Pill has a level of six-color pill thunder, it is still suitable for very few people. Only those Dou Zun who have reached the limit of their lifespan need it.

However, those Dou Zun who can reach the limit of their lifespan are usually unable to produce any heavenly-grade fighting skills. After all, it is not difficult for someone with heavenly-grade fighting skills to reach the first level of Dou Zun, let alone a semi-saint. Every time a Dou Zun completes a level, his lifespan increases by 100 years.

The effect of the Hunyuan Longevity Pill on a first-level Dou Zun is only to increase his lifespan by 100 years, which is not worth exchanging for a heavenly-level technique or fighting skill.

Therefore, he also needs a pill with about 5 or 6 colors of pill thunder and a wide range of applications. Once he has this pill, he can go to Zhongzhou to participate in the space trade fair and buy heavenly grade fighting skills.

Liu Mang flipped through the nine 9th-grade elixir recipes given by Yao Chen, compared them with the materials he had, and tried to choose an elixir with more abundant materials and that met his requirements.

It was not easy to pick out the one that suited his taste with only 9 kinds of 8th-grade elixirs. In addition, his alchemy treasure house had been looted by Xiao Yan, and a large number of precious medicinal materials had been taken away by him, making it even more difficult to find a suitable one.

The more Liu Mang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he slapped the air.

The palm force penetrated the space and landed thousands of miles away, slapping Xiao Yan who was caught off guard to the ground.

Hai Bodong subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression.

Even if the conditions are not fully discussed, you don't have to lie down and try to scam me. Do you really think that I, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, am the kind of person who would be scammed?

Feeling Hai Bodong's strange gaze, Xiao Yan cursed in his heart, but stood up calmly and said with a smile:
"Sorry, the ground is a bit slippery. Let's continue."

Hai Bodong glanced at the rough ground that he couldn't skate on even with roller skates, and nodded with difficulty.

After teaching his nephew a lesson, Liu Mang turned around and counted his own treasure trove.

There aren’t many materials of grade 8 and 7, but there are countless materials of grade 6 and below, and the quantity is huge.

As long as something can be bought with money, the Xiao family will not lack it at all. Even if he blows up the furnace nine times a day, the wasted medicinal materials will not be as much as those replenished.

Especially after Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement, the Xiao family terminated their cooperation with the Nalan family and sold armored scaly-horned horses to the entire northwestern continent.

Among them, a level 2 scale-horned horse costs 3000 gold coins each, and a level 3 dragon-blood scale-horned horse costs 10000 gold coins each. The quantity is large and it is normal to sell millions of horses every month.

The countries in the Northwest Continent are not very rich, and they simply cannot support transactions using gold coins, so the Xiao family took the opportunity to open up channels for trading using medicinal materials and natural treasures, resulting in the Xiao family having too many low-level treasures to use up.

Not only the scaly-horned horse, but also the armor and weapons produced by the Xiao family's forging shop are exported to various countries. At the same price, the quality of the Xiao family's products far exceeds that of its peers, directly occupying a large market share.

Since they were all strategic materials and weapons, the major empires had no way to refuse. They could not produce cheap and high-quality equipment themselves, so they could only sell them to the Xiao family, lest they be surpassed by other countries if they did not buy them.

The Gama Empire is now the most prosperous and developed country in the Northwest Continent, and the Xiao family, which controls almost half of the Gama Empire, is the most powerful family in the entire Northwest Continent.

"So what's the use of this? We can't even find a heavenly-level martial art or fighting skill. The Northwest Continent is really poor!" Liu Mang was heartbroken.

Fortunately, there is such a large area after all, and there are still many good things, at least a lot of 7th and 8th grade materials, but it takes time to gather at the Xiao family.

"It seems that we need to build some fixed space channels to facilitate passage."

Liu Mang immediately sent a message to the group:
"I want to build 36 space channels outside Wutan City, leading to various countries in the northwest continent, to facilitate the flow of materials. Go and help me!"

It's impossible to go by yourself. He is the boss. Why would he hire employees if he has to do everything by himself?
Old employee Yun Yun immediately responded:
"Got it. I'm busy right now. I'll definitely help the boss when I have time."

Xun'er replied second: "My power is violent, which is not conducive to effective production in battle. If I am not careful, it will cause a catastrophe for the continent. Don't act lightly."

Yao Chen: "Thank you for the invitation, but he is a dead person, barely surviving by possessing a spirit. I am sorry that I cannot help the boss solve his problems."

Xiao Xian'er: "I, I, I! I'll do it! Don't worry, big brother. I've just arrived and have made no achievements. Now is the time for me to make a contribution. Since it is not convenient for you sisters to help, I will let Xian'er do it!"

Yao Chen: Sister, sister???
Yun Yun's face was calm: "New here, you are so active, are you trying to win me over? I tell you, it's impossible. I, Yun Yun, am a carefree and unrestrained person who doesn't seek to make progress. You can't win me over!"
Xun'er: "Xian'er is so active in doing things, I am very pleased, I will leave it to you, don't let me down."

Xian'er: "Emperor Xun, rest assured, I can do anything. Leave everything to me!"

Xun'er: "Yeah."

Liu Mang:.
Looking up, I saw a stream of light rising into the sky, and violent spatial fluctuations swept across the entire Gama Empire.

Xian'er has started working now. This is indeed what a good employee of mine should be!

At night, Xian'er came to Liu Mang with a tired face.

"Brother, all 36 space channels have been fixed. After calculation, the 171 empires and sects in the northwest continent that are relatively stable and have no Dou Zun can travel back and forth more conveniently. I set up the entrances and exits here together, all in a barren mountain more than 200 kilometers outside Wutan City. I leveled the barren mountain into a super-large square and built a large pass to manage entry and exit. I also repaired the road by the way. Brother, do you think there is anything else I can do?"

Listening to Xian'er's story, Liu Mang's eyes welled up with tears. He was so moved. Compared with the previous three agents, Xian'er's subjective initiative was infinitely higher. She got the job done without being told, and he was quite satisfied with her performance. Where can you find such a good employee?

He placed his hands on Xian'er's shoulders and said firmly, "It's decided. You will be awarded the title of this year's Outstanding Employee. I will give you this 'Heavenly Soul-Destroying Powder' as a reward. I wish you a breakthrough to Dou Zun soon!"

Xian'er walked away holding a three-liter bottle of seventh-grade poison, her face flushed with joy.

The space channel has been built and some supporting facilities have also been built, but this does not mean that it can be put into use directly.

If we compare the spatial channels to the airports in the previous life, then the fixed spatial channels are actually just equivalent to the waterways and airplanes, and the squares and supporting facilities are equivalent to the airport.

There is still a lot of work to be done before it can be put into use.

At least there should be a manager, supporting facilities and industries, and security guarantees.

Anyway, it was still very troublesome, so Liu Mang handed the matter over to the fourth elder Xiao Feng, who was responsible for providing sufficient funds.

He personally went to various countries to purchase the necessary medicinal materials and treasures. Dou Zun himself did not need to use the solidified space channel. The channel itself was solidified by Dou Zun through a large amount of resources and could be used by people with lower cultivation.

In order to ensure the user experience, the solidified space channel is not as fast as Dou Zun’s personal space travel. This is a protective measure.

Liu Mang is a 9-star Dou Zun who is currently in the process of transformation. Where can he go to the northwest continent in less than a minute? He does not need to go through a solidified space channel.

In less than a month, Liu Mang collected a large number of usable medicinal materials. Some of them were bought with money, some were exchanged for refining medicine, some were obtained by completing tasks, and some were obtained by killing and robbing others.

Among them, the gains from counter-killing accounted for more than one-third of all the gains.

Liu Mang sighed, it was worthy of being the poor northwestern continent adjacent to the Black Horn Region, the people were tough, there were countless robbers, murderers and plunderers, the word "chaos" was the most prominent feature of the country.

From this point of view, the Gama Empire and its surrounding areas are relatively harmonious. After all, it is the location of a rare large empire in the northwest. Even if there is a country like the Izumo Empire that produces many poison masters, it is not as chaotic as the more peripheral places.

Some places are called countries, but in fact they are purely alliances of evil forces. They claim to be countries to the outside world, but carry out a reign of division and terror within the country, making life miserable for the people.

Fortunately, such days will not last too long. The Xiao family has currently completed the transformation of the northeast and east of the Gama Empire. The roads have already been paved in the remaining north, west, and northwest. In a few years, the Gama Empire will be completely owned by the Xiao family and completed its transformation. After that, it will be able to attack the three surrounding empires that have already been laid out.

Once the three empires are all taken down, the other countries in the Northwest Continent will be easy to deal with. The Xiao family will be able to sweep away the evil spirits in the Northwest Continent with an unstoppable force and spread unprecedented unity and peace to all the people.

Liu Mang set this time as 10 years.

Even if the Lion Nether Sect, backed by the Soul Palace, appeared in the original novel, the Xiao family at that time would not be afraid at all.

There are not many local Dou Zuns in the Northwest Continent, and they are not strong. Even if they are all united by the Lion Nether Sect to fight against the Xiao family, they cannot cause any trouble.

Xiao Yan is currently 16 years old. In the original novel, he became the Dou Di between the ages of 33 and 36.

Ten years later, Xiao Yan was 10 years old. If nothing unexpected happened, his cultivation would be at the Dou Zun stage. The Xiao family unified the northwest continent at that time, and they were still his most solid backing, rather than a leg pendant that he carried away.

At that time, the Xiao family will be able to rely on Xiao Yan's good luck to get some treasures that they cannot get. The family and the individual will achieve each other and grow together, thus establishing the Xiao family's supreme position on the continent.

At that time, let Yun Yun disband the Yunlan Sect and join the Xiao family to destroy the Soul Palace, and the main task 1 and task 2 will be basically completed.

After that, his main work will be to help his three sons become emperors, as well as his own task of refining emperor-grade elixirs.

Actually, he doesn't need to worry about his three sons' path to becoming Dou Di. When he becomes Dou Di and Xiao Yan also becomes Dou Di, with the bloodline's influence, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li will be able to reach at least the 9-star Dou Sheng level.

By then, if we can get some source energy back, there will be absolutely no problem for the two of us to break through to the Dou Di level.

Compared to the difficulty of going from a 9-star Dou Zun to a Dou Sheng, the difficulty of going from a 9-star Dou Sheng to a Dou Emperor all lies in the acquisition of source energy. If there is sufficient source energy, and if there is an emperor soul, the breakthrough from a 9-star Dou Sheng to a Dou Emperor can basically be said to be a natural outcome.

The only thing that is a bit difficult is refining the imperial grade elixir.

This is a grade of pill that has never appeared in the original novel. Even though Emperor Hun Tian relied on sacrificing his entire clan to advance the progress of the Emperor Pill prototype, he still didn't actually refine it into an Emperor Pill. He just thought it was enough, so he took it and became the Dou Emperor, rather than actually refining the Emperor Pill and being beaten by it.

This is based on the premise that the ancient emperor Tuoshe left behind the prototype of the imperial pill, and was about to ask Liu Mang to refine it. Not to mention the technical problems, he didn't know where to get the materials.

The 9th-grade materials are so scarce that they can only be found once in a thousand years. Liu Mang cannot figure out how to get the imperial-grade materials.

The current Douqi Continent is far inferior to the period of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, and perhaps there are no imperial-grade medicinal materials anymore.

If refining imperial-grade elixirs requires imperial-grade medicinal materials, his only way is to live long enough to cultivate them himself.

The theoretical lifespan of a Dou Di is more than 32 years, and this world does not care about the wear and tear of the soul, nor does it require longevity substances to maintain life. Therefore, after Liu Mang becomes a Dou Di, even if he fails to practice the Nine Tribulations Secret Code, he will have a lifespan of at least years.

If one practices the Nine Tribulations Secret Code, it would take a minimum of 96 years.

At this time, combined with Liu Mang's technology, there will be absolutely no problem in cultivating imperial-grade medicinal materials.

Anyway, he will not leave until the end of his life. As long as he completes the refining of the Emperor Pill within this period of time, it will not affect his ability to devour the starry sky.

In the Douqi Continent, in addition to completing the system's tasks, he also has his own goals to accomplish.

The first is to practice the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex; the second is to advance the understanding of the laws of space and other laws, preferably to the point where you are only one step away from complete understanding; the third is to practice the "Black Sky Sutra" and the "Sun Sutra" in depth with the goal of improving from the fourth level to the sixth level, reaching the ultimate secret level of qualitative change, and of course, the best is the seventh level.

There was really no hope of success in the Grey God Trial. The Lord of Black Sky had failed in the seventh level of the Double Sutra. He was not even at the seventh level yet, so the probability of success depended on luck. And as everyone knew, his luck was not good.

Since I am unable to comprehend the unity of light and darkness, I might as well complete the two sutras by traveling through another world and try again.

The Grey God Trial allowed 1 million years, but that was the time accelerated a thousand times in the Grey God Palace, which was only years in the original universe.

He has already used up two hundred years of this time, and in the remaining 9800 years, he will probably have one or two opportunities to travel through time.

Judging from the trend that the energy level of each world is getting higher and higher and he is living longer and longer, the probability of him cultivating the dual scriptures to the ninth level next time or the next time is not small.

This naturally requires him to work hard and persevere, and he must push himself to the limit every time he crosses to have a chance.

The longer you live in the Doupo world, the better. You must do your best to pursue the seventh level, but you cannot slack off in other aspects.

Liu Mang missed the hundreds of clones in his Devouring World so much. He could do everything in multiple threads at the same time. But after coming to the Fighting World, his efficiency dropped significantly.

While he was thinking, he had already completed the preparations for refining the elixir.

He selected a set of herbs based on their medicinal properties and his own understanding, and controlled the blue sky and earth fire to refine and fuse them.

This time he planned to make a pill that could build a strong body, at least a high-end one that could only be used by a Dou Zun.

During the refining process, he constantly adjusted the medicinal properties of the materials, stimulated related effects, and tried to condense them into a pill to amplify the efficacy.

A day later, a familiar roar resounded throughout the Xiao family.

Undeterred, Liu Mang cleaned up the scene, repaired the Qingjing Ding, and continued the experiment.

It was not until a month later that the six-colored thunder fell, declaring the development a success.

If Yao Chen was at the scene, he would definitely be stunned.

This is an eighth-grade elixir with six-color thunder. It was successfully developed in just one month?

Even with an unlimited supply of medicinal herbs, this is really too much.

Among the 8th-grade elixirs on the market today, which one is not the result of dozens or hundreds of years of painstaking research by high-level alchemists?

It took Liu Mang only a month for you to make it. This is a bit disrespectful to us traditional alchemists!
But there is no way. Liu Mang's efficiency is naturally much inferior to that in the Devouring Star World, but compared with the Fights World, he is just a beast.

Since he reached Dou Wang, Liu Mang has never slept. After practicing with Luo Shan, they don't fall asleep in each other's arms, but get up and work hard. Even when the two of them were practicing, he always puts part of his mind on thinking and research.

He has worked so hard, what's wrong with a little reward?
Yao Chen has nothing to do all day and is unwilling to help build a few space channels. He is so lazy that he deserves to be shocked every day.

Having succeeded once, Liu Mang would never fail again. The probability of his success in refining the elixir has always been between 0% and 100%. This is the margin of excellence that a master of civilization and a great scientist can have.

It takes an average person at least half a month, several months or even several years to refine an 8th-grade elixir. But Liu Mang is different. His values ​​in all aspects are 32 times that of people of the same level, including the speed of refining elixirs.

After a week, six-colored pill thunder fell three times, which meant that three furnaces of pills were produced one after another.

Including the one he started refining, Liu Mang harvested a total of 9 pills.

Liu Mang tried one of these pills himself and found the effect to be basically the same as designed. It can greatly increase the physical strength of a Dou Zun, giving him a body of steel. A normal Dou Zun can use his body to withstand the damage when using earth-level fighting skills, and he basically doesn't even need to activate his fighting spirit.

This effect is actually very powerful. The vast majority of Dou Zuns in the Douqi Continent are those who use earth-level techniques and fighting skills. One "Xuan Gu Gang Shen Dan" can directly ignore the attacks of most Dou Zuns in the continent and greatly improve their combat capabilities and life-saving abilities.

Even when facing an opponent using heavenly-level fighting skills, the threat can be greatly reduced, and you may even be able to defeat the opponent.

This kind of medicine has a wide market share, and it will definitely be in great demand at the space trade fair.

However, if you want to participate in the space trade fair, you still need an invitation letter.

That was a space jade pendant. The space trade fair was held in an independent space. Ordinary people could not enter without the space jade pendant.

In order to receive an invitation, one must at least be a Dou Zun with great influence, or a Dou Zun who is recognized to be powerful. In short, he must be famous.

Liu Mang's strength is certainly beyond doubt, but as for fame, how famous can the Sword God of Shilipo be?
However, he did not know that although he never left his house, his name had already spread throughout Zhongzhou.
