Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chen Ku held the two halves of the peacock's body in his hands. Looking at the little peacock, which was only one foot tall, he felt like he was tearing a roasted chicken with his hands. He couldn't help but let out a breath:

"It's so hard to kill!"

Normally, he would use this combo of illusion, invisibility, calming the mind, and all-out attack, and even a fourth-level master like Xie Qi could be killed in an instant.

As a result, it took him all his strength to hunt down the peacock.

"Born with the power of the five elements, this flat-haired beast's 'Vajra Body' doesn't seem to require magic, but an instinctive reaction. 'Not hurt by metal', does it mean that the moment it touches a metal weapon, it will passively manifest a Vajra Body?"

Chen Ku guessed.

"Try shapeshifting and you'll know."

Immediately, he took down the fire-mouth kettle and hung the five-colored peacock evil spirit on it.

【Five-color peacock transformation! 】

[The five-colored peacock is born with the five elements spirit body, has the blood of a great demon, is the descendant of the ancient mythical beast 'Peacock King', and has one hundred thousandth of the blood of the Peacock King]

[Shape-changing part: Fire spirit body (will not burn when encountering fire)]

Chen Ku opened his mouth slightly: "Ah? Why is it fire?"

Regarding fire-related transformations, he already had the Volcano Crow and the Fire Mouth Pot. Now the transformation ability that the Five-Colored Peacock had unleashed through its first transformation completely overlapped with his two fire-related transformations.

"What I want to say is 'No harm when meeting gold'."

Chen Ku shook his head and sighed.

It's really hard to say what luck is.

but,

Then he thought of something.

"Wait, this flat-haired beast is a fourth-level demon, which means that the 'fire resistance' ability of his fire spirit body can at least reach the level of resisting the fourth-level flames. In this case...all we need to do is let Erlang and Hua Huyou bring back forty-five 'four-level fire evil spirits' from Huozui Mountain, and then we can completely transform this five-colored peacock, even into an incarnation, and we won't even have to worry about the fourth-level fire evil spirits in the future?"

Thinking of this, I suddenly became excited.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, projected the changing diagram with his mind, and tried to communicate with Erlang Bian and convey his thoughts.

As the original body, one can sense the incarnation through telepathy from a great distance, but it is limited to 'single-line connection'. If the clone wants to contact the original body, it can only wait until it returns to the original body, transform itself into evil spirit, and return to Chen Ku's heart sea.

After a while.

The thoughts in my mind were conveyed through the transformation diagram.

Chen Ku opened his eyes and said slowly:
"Three days have passed. Considering the speed of Hua Hu Marten, he and Er Lang should have reached Huozui Mountain. Next, it depends on whether they can try to bring back the Four Realms Fire Evil Qi."

Stand up.

Then he looked at the corpse of the Five Elements Peacock on the ground, picked it up, and thought:
"I'll feed the corpse of the fourth-level demon to the flower marten. I wonder if it can help the flower marten to reach a higher level."

Because the quality of the Flower Marten is so high, it has the power of the five elephants when it reaches the second level. Therefore, for the Flower Marten itself, if it wants to break through itself, it needs a large amount of "food vitality".

It is expected that the four-realm demon meat of this five-colored peacock should be of great use.

Here.

Chen Ku took the corpse of the five-colored peacock and quietly returned home. After changing his clothes, he went back to Yaowang Hall.

After a battle.

It turned dark.

Chen Ku thought that he had originally wanted to send a little bee to follow Sui You, but because the little bee was eaten, now...

"Hundred Mile Tracking Technique!"

Immediately, Chen Ku followed Sui You's scent and began to search. Gradually, he sketched out Sui You's scent route map today in his mind, starting from the north of Baojiao County and extending to a mountain range a hundred miles away:
"A hundred miles away, that direction is Liangjie Mountain. Could it be that the Hero King's treasure is in Liangjie Mountain?"

Immediately, he consumed forty-five evil spirits, conjured up another little bee, and gave the order:
"Go, follow this direction, and follow Sui You. If you can't find him, come back. Keep an eye on him every day, and you will find him sooner or later."

The little bee flapped its wings and flew away.

Wait until the little bee flies away.

Chen Ku asked his master why they were still in the county government office and had not returned, so he went to the county government office again. On the one hand, he came here specifically to wait for people, and on the other hand, he found some rat holes and sparrow nests. Through the abilities of the Nine-Colored Deer in the form of the Snake Dragon, "animal language" and "king's aura", he gave these little guys an order, asking them to help him act as a secret message to monitor who Shangguan Yun met and what he said every day.

After doing this.

It was already late at night when Yang Luchan and others came out from the backyard of the county government office.

Chen Ku went to meet him outside and asked, "Master, shopkeepers, Senior Brother Kou, how was it that we talked for so long?"

"What else can we do?" Qin Sifan said with a wry smile, "We can just negotiate. But after all, Yaowangtang is not an 'official gentry'. Although cooperating with the reform will have an impact on us, it won't be a major blow. At most, we will just have to pay more taxes every year."

"This reform is aimed at those who have industries but do not need to pay taxes. Yaowangtang has to pay 700,000 or 800,000 yuan in taxes a year, and it is not the target of Tan Chongrui's blade." Yang Luchan said: "It's just that Yaowangtang is now the uncrowned king of the city. He needs our cooperation before he can continue to push for the next step."

Kou Ming said: "Generally speaking, businessmen cannot beat officials, so it is normal for us to bow our heads and agree to some conditions."

"Have you been waiting for us here?" Yang Luchan asked.

Chen Ku made up an excuse: "I went out to eat and walk around. I thought everyone would finish soon, but I didn't expect it to be so late. I have waited since the evening, but it didn't take long."

"Okay, okay, it's settled. Let's go back and eat first."

………………

Another place in Baojiao County, the most regulated garden in the city.

Princess Guan Hongluan looked at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, looked outside, and couldn't help but murmured softly:

"Ling'er is so wild, it's already dark, why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Don't worry, Princess. Your spirit pet has reached the fourth realm of cultivation and possesses the five elements of supernatural powers. There are almost no humans or animals in Baojiao County that can hurt it."

Across the table was a figure wearing a bamboo hat, with a voice that was indistinguishable between male and female, and wearing a mask. He said, "After dinner, Princess, it's time to practice. You've been stuck at the peak of the fourth level of Tongmai for a while. It's best to break through it in one go and enter the fifth level as soon as possible, so that you can have enough strength to protect yourself in the vortex that will appear next."

"Ugh."

Guan Hongluan sighed, frowned slightly, and said:
"I also know that the 'Dragon-Subduing Divine Sword' passed down in my family is a peerless martial art, masculine and domineering, but because of this, it is difficult for a girl like me to practice it, and I feel that there are many obstacles, and I can never get the essence of it."

"My princess, you are joking. You have reached the peak of the four realms at such a young age and have trained the Dragon Subduing Divine Sword to the 'minor success' realm. This is already very rare."

The masked man said:
"However, there is a solution to the princess's problem. There is a level in the martial arts temple. If you can pass it, you will get a reward called 'Nine Yang True Pill'. It is especially helpful for breaking through masculine skills. If the princess really can't break through on her own, then you can use this as an alternative."

"That's all it can do."

………………

The scenery of the Northland, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

In the southern Ji State, spring has come and the weather has warmed up, with grass growing, birds singing and flowers blooming, but in the northern Yuan State, it is still all white.

But there is only one place, within the freezing cold territory of the Yuan Dynasty, where it feels like scorching heat.

This is the Huozui Mountain in Ximu Prefecture of the Yuan Dynasty.

The volcano is huge, a thousand meters high, and the mountain pass is like an open pot lid, steaming hot, with black smoke and fire coming out from time to time. The crops are roasted so badly that they cannot grow. It is because of this that there is no human habitation within a thousand miles around.

Swish~~
The handsome Erlang stepped on the black volcanic rock and received the message from Chen Ku's real body. He whispered to himself:

"Four realms of anger?"

He looked at the flower marten and said:

"It may be difficult for you to bear the anger of the Four Realms by yourself. I will lend you a helping hand."

The spotted marten looked at Erlang curiously.

But I saw a man and a beast coming to the crater, and above the crater, I saw countless densely packed red crows circling around the crater, just like seagulls on the seashore.

Wow~
The spotted marten stood on Erlang's back, ready to attack, baring its teeth and staring closely at the volcano crows in all directions, ready to pounce at any time.

"It seems that after so many times, you are used to coming here, but this time... you need to use them."

As Erlang was speaking, he saw dozens of volcano crows flying towards them. Just as the flower marten was about to fly up to deal with these volcano crows.

The man beside him just frowned.

Suddenly, invisible spiritual power spread out like a tide.

Blah blah blah!

The dozens of volcano crows fell down from mid-air with dazed eyes the moment they approached. After standing up again, they looked like a team of guards. They let Erlang and the flower marten climb on their backs, surrounded the man and the beast, and sank down to the bottom of the volcano.

It kept falling, Erlang felt the degree of the firepower. When it reached the fourth or fifth level of firepower, he was still unharmed. It turned out that the volcanic crows controlled by his mind were constantly surrounding him and absorbing the heat around him.

"Okay, this is the range of the fourth level of fire evil spirit. Try to see how much you can bear. Don't force yourself..."

Erlang said to the marten.

The marten was already skilled enough to walk out of the 'low temperature zone' formed by the volcanic black group. When it came out, its hair suddenly glowed, and black and red marks appeared one after another, and evil spirit entered its body...

The difficulties faced by the spotted marten are clearly visible.

Soon, the marten was covered in black air.

Seeing this, Erlang suddenly glanced at a black Four Realms Volcano Crow on the cliff not far away and said, "There is a Four Realms Volcano Crow over there. I will cripple it and leave it with a breath. You can hold it in your mouth and use it as a protective gear to cool you down. In this way, you will have no problem going back."

The moment he finished speaking, he stepped on a volcano crow and reached the top of the cliff. He used mental attacks and instantly crippled the volcano crow, which the marten held in its mouth.

Sure enough, the severely injured Volcano Crow, after feeling the heat from the Marten, slightly dilated its eyes and began to absorb the warmth from the Marten's body.

"That's it. How many fourth-level evil spirits I can bring back to the owner of the picture depends on whether this volcano crow dies on the way..."

The spotted marten revealed its true form, holding the volcano crow in its mouth, suppressing the hundreds of four-level evil spirits on its body, and turned back to Ji Guobao Jiao County.

………………

"Three days!"

Guan Hongluan began to get anxious:
"Ling'er has never been out looking for food for so long. Master Tang, you have to go out and look for Ling'er."

"Take orders."

………………

Three days later, when the marten returned to Baojiao County, Chen Ku was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night.

call!
Chen Ku suddenly woke up from the bed, and then fled out of the yard in a flash. He saw that the spotted marten was lying in a corner with its body charred black, and the corpse of a volcano black cat was in its mouth.

He was shocked. Although he sensed that the Flower Marten clone was not dead yet, he immediately shouted:
"receive!"

Suddenly, I felt the moment when the marten entered my body.

[The subject of the picture was attacked by the four realms of fire evil spirits... and has been refined by the "Fire Spirit Body", and has obtained one... two... ten... eighty-nine... of the four realms of evil spirits...]

"Ninety-two fourth-level evil spirits!"

Chen Ku touched his forehead and said to the flower marten who was lying in the transformation diagram to recuperate: "You have worked hard. Have a good rest first. When you wake up, I will feed you something good. Don't worry, with these ninety-two four-level evil spirits, I can not only transform a five-colored peacock, but also a four-level 'fire mouth pot'. When the time comes, with this magic weapon, I won't have to work so hard anymore."

The marten incarnates in the transformation diagram and seems to nod slightly.

Chen Ku looked at the change chart and without further ado, posted two changes in succession.

"Consume ninety fourth-level evil spirits!"

"Five-color Peacock Transformation!"

"Four Realms Fire Mouth Pot Transformation!" (End of this chapter)
