Chapter 678 Recovery

At noon, at the border camp of Xingtiangong.

On a flat hillside to the east of the camp, a group of people gathered together and chatted.

"Thirteen stars are winning victory after victory; Lord Lü's divine might is boundless!"

"The main reason is that those black-armored warriors are powerful. They can recover their magic power on their own and are fearless. They combine the strengths of Taoist soldiers and demon puppets. How can they not win?"

“Those warriors and soldiers were once living people, but now their souls have been annihilated and their bodies cannot find peace. It is truly cruel.”

"In war, people always die. Without them, we Dao soldiers might be the ones who died. We should thank Lord Lü."

"That's right, if anyone's to blame, it's that Green Worm Demon Lord. She's the one who caused those people's souls to be annihilated. Lord Lü was just making use of trash."

Chen Mu, standing in the crowd, squinted at the two people who had just spoken.

If they knew that it was Lü Yue himself who spread the Green Worm Gu poison, I wonder if they would still hold Lü Shenjun in such high esteem.

"Ignorance is bliss," Chen Mu thought to himself.

If the Tianxing battle is won in succession, there will be no problem. But if the battle is setbacked, or if too many Black Armor Warriors are killed or wounded, will Lü Yue secretly take the frontline soldiers to refine Black Armor Warriors?

"If the bottom line can be crossed once, it can be crossed a second time."

"That Lord Lü doesn't seem like a kind-hearted person," Chen Mu thought to himself, shaking his head inwardly.

Fortunately, Bianshe Star is far from the front line and is basically not afraid of being affected.

Moreover, with the Seven Flames of Delusions and the Heavenly Demon Armor as a backup, he is not afraid of Lord Lü's plague. If something unexpected happens, he will be able to handle it.

As he pondered, a black dot appeared on the distant horizon. In the blink of an eye, the black dot rapidly grew larger, and a huge white cloud came into Chen Mu's view.

Countless white ropes hung down from the clouds, intertwining and weaving into a giant net.

Countless demon and monster corpses were caught in a net and pulled by the white clouds in the sky, rapidly approaching the Heavenly Palace Camp.

"I never imagined that the eagle-beak white jade snakeskin bone would be used here." Chen Mu looked up, gazing with interest at the white clouds and net in the distance.

That white cloud is the Five Clouds Scarf, a special magical artifact of the Thousand Machines Sect. It can float in the air, is good at bearing weight, and is often used to transport large objects.

The white jade net below was woven from the ropes of a white jade snake demon figurine with an eagle's beak.

"It can be made to any size and is extremely tough. With a little refining, it can be used in countless ways."

"As expected of the Thousand Machines Sect, they are indeed skilled at crafting all kinds of artifacts."

Chen Mu thought of the Cloud Bat Flying Boat and the White Ghost Ship, both of which were special demonic artifacts made from exotic beasts, and their essence was similar to the white jade ropes in the sky.

Before she could finish her thought, Wu Yunpa appeared in mid-air above the Heavenly Palace Camp, dragging a white jade net.

The white jade ropes twisted and turned, then retreated back into the clouds.

Like a fishing boat dumping its nets, accompanied by a strong, fishy stench, the carcass of a strange beast crashed down, scattering into a large pit with a clatter.

Several Taoist soldiers dressed in full protective armor jumped into the pit, quickly sorted and packed the items into baskets, and then handed them to the members of the Demon Exorcism Department who were already waiting at the edge of the pit.

Chen Mu also lined up, took a basket, and went to investigate the demon camp.

This is his task for today.

For the past ten days or so, this kind of life has been repeated almost every day, and Chen Mu has become quite adept at it.

……

at dusk.

Chen Mu returned to the westernmost barracks area of ​​the camp.

In front of the snail-shell house, Chen Mu channeled his magic into the yellow jade identity token at his waist, and a flash of emerald light appeared on the edge of the dark blue circular door panel.

Immediately, the tightly closed door slowly opened.

Chen Mu pushed open the door and entered. After closing the door, he immediately patted a dust-repelling talisman on himself.

A little bit of dust, carrying a fishy and foul odor, suddenly flew out from the gray short-sleeved shirt.

He then controlled the emergence of the Five Ghosts Black Clouds to cleanse his entire body.

The strange smells that I had picked up after a busy day at the Demon Exorcism Department instantly disappeared.

But Chen Mu still felt it wasn't clean enough, so he put his hands to his nose and sniffed several times. Only after confirming that the odor was really gone did he breathe a sigh of relief and sit down in the rocking chair not far from the door.

"Back when I was growing yellow sprout rice in Yunzhou, I was dealing with the land all day long, and I was often in contact with the smelly fertilizer." "Now I can't stand even a little bit of odor, that's really... being fussy." Chen Mu shook his head and laughed.

He flipped his hand and pulled out a palm-sized white jade gourd, and habitually took a sip.

The cool liquid flowed down my mouth into my stomach, and soon a warm sensation spread throughout my body, while a cool sensation rushed straight to my head.

The gourd contained a mixture of Rejuvenating Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine. For the past ten days or so, Chen Mu had relied on these two ingredients to quickly replenish his depleted vital energy.

Today, my body has basically recovered.

The Yin Spirit Divine Embryo, cultivated from the Heavenly Demon Body, also regained its radiance and harmony under the nourishment of the massive amount of cold white mist.

"Finally, I can resume my Dao foundation cultivation." Chen Mu couldn't wait to examine the jade seed inside his body.

At this moment, the jade is covered with dark gold patterns, mysterious and ancient.

Chen Mu skillfully reversed the River Chariot Divine Aperture, first refining his magical power into innate qi, and then recalling the Jade Cicada Dao Foundation Diagram in his mind.

Innate energy, influenced by an invisible force, autonomously burrows into the inner wall of the jade.

A wisp of hair-like root suddenly emerged from the outer wall of the jade seed and grew outwards.

"The first three layers are about changing the foundation of the jade seed. Subsequent cultivation is about using this foundation to expand outwards and thus create a complete Dao foundation."

Based on the feedback from the gray wall, Chen Mu gradually understood.

With the foundation map in hand, and feedback from the gray wall to supplement it, as long as sufficient innate energy is provided and the process is followed step by step, the foundation can be successfully constructed.

What I need right now is a stable environment.

And right now, Bianshexing...

Actually it’s okay.

"Although the tasks of the Demon Extermination Department are heavy, I have the Three Yin Demon Slaying Technique to assist me, making demon extermination a piece of cake, and I have plenty of free time every day."

"Bianshe Star is far away from the Thirteen Stars of Tianmen, so it will not be affected by the front-line battles and is very safe."

"Although it can't compare to Tianguan Star, it's certainly a good place for cultivation," Chen Mu thought to himself with a smile, before immersing himself in the reshaping of the jade seed.

……

Tianmen Star is the main star.

At the summit of a precipitous mountain, Lü Yue, dressed in a dark purple Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, gazing expressionlessly at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

"Master, the Plague Immortal Banner has been successfully buried in the Yuan Qi Well." Han Ying, dressed in black and red armor, suddenly appeared behind Lü Yue.

"Including this one, the Plague Immortal Formation on the Thirteen Stars of Heavenly Gate has been completed."

"Very good." Lü Yue nodded slightly: "After a day of rest, you will lead your men to the eleventh star of Tianzhu to continue setting up the formation."

"Master, are you really not going to inform Elder Lan?" Han Ying asked hesitantly.

"The plague can kill demons and soldiers alike. Lan Xiuzhu is a hypocrite; how could he possibly agree to release the plague?" Lü Yue's eyes darted around as he glanced at his disciple and snorted coldly.

“The Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Pillar, and more than thirty other stars have been occupied by demons for too long. If he can’t take them back, then I will.”

"Where is the Star Lord Jiao Mu?" Han Ying's expression was somewhat uncertain.

"If it doesn't agree, how could you possibly put the Plague Immortal Flag into the Yuanqi Well?" Lü Yue said expressionlessly.

"The Star Lord is the spirit of the stars, but he has no concept of universal good or evil; he only cares about whether the stars are under his control."

"It doesn't care if all living things on the stars die, so go in peace."

"Yes!" Han Ying immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and disappeared from the mountaintop.

Lü Yue remained seated atop the mountain, then pulled out a dusty, gray gourd.

Looking at the faint silver patterns on the gourd's surface, a look of eager anticipation flashed across his face.

"almost."

"Once I use the Plague Immortal Technique to refine the primordial spirits of many demons, I will surely be able to cultivate a second primordial spirit."

"At that time, we can open up the outer path cave and take it a step further!"
