Destiny is ashes

Chapter 428: Half-Dragon Demon Transformation, Three Forbidden Things to Be Completed (9200, count as four in one)
Suling Cave.

During these two decades, the four demonic creatures continued to attack the Suling Immaculate Wood once every hour.

Each time, they would be injured by the counterattack of the Immaculate Wood, their bodies covered with sharp golden thorns, and large and small pits all over their bodies waiting to heal.

But they still persisted in carrying out twelve attacks a day, with no intention of getting tired or giving up.

This is not simply stupidity.

Although the Heartless Demonic Metamorphosis has no intelligence, to be more precise, it does not have the ability to think on its own. They have instincts, and very powerful instincts, which can effectively filter the surrounding information and make judgments similar to machines.

In Mo Tu's judgment, the Suling Lotus Platform is a magical object that is powerful enough to allow them to transform. And after destroying the Suling Immaculate Wood, the power hidden under the mountains that has been supporting their regeneration and recovery will also be freed.

In this case, continue attacking until you achieve your goal.

An attack once an hour is only an approximation. The frequency of the demons' attacks is sometimes long and sometimes short, depending mainly on the strength of the Immaculate Wood's counterattack.

This time the counterattack was quite powerful. The four demon sheddings were all covered with wounds from the cuts of the sharp white gold energy. They slowly retreated to the corner of Suling Cave, absorbing the demon energy faintly coming from the depths of the mountains to recover.

This is also the reason why their predecessor, the four-winged moon snake, almost fell into evil - since some time ago, the source of demonic energy sealed in the Broken Blade Mountains has been able to transmit some power to the outside.

Although it is limited to Suling Cave, if there is support from outside, such as a demonized ground vein formation, then the influence of the demonic energy source will spread to the entire Broken Blade Mountains.

However, both the magic formation of the hunting manor in the mountains and the magic formation of Linjiang City had been taken away. They could only rely on these four magic sheddings to slowly wear down the defenses of the Suling Cave's wonders.

almost.

In Mo Tu's judgment, although the defense of the Immaculate Wood was still sharp, its stamina was already insufficient. In another twenty or thirty days, with the power of the four martial veins, it would be enough to simultaneously break through the four-sided killing array of the Immaculate Wood and then destroy it.

The demon that obtains the Suling Sword Lotus will devour the spirituality of heaven and earth therein, gain wisdom, and then absorb the demonic energy of other of its kind and transform into the Great Demon Shenzang.

By then, it would be another demonic disaster for the people and demons around the Broken Blade Mountains.

However, this time, the demon that was closest to the cave entrance felt something different from the past.

The golden spiritual energy in Suling Cave is pouring out of the cave at a slow speed. It seems that something is absorbing the golden energy outside the cave, disrupting the balance inside Suling Cave.

But this disturbance is very minor and may just be the normal interaction between Suling Cave and the natural paradise outside.

If you detect any unknown abnormality, you should go for testing.

The demon moved and headed out of the cave.

If it were an intelligent monster, it might ignore it at this moment, but if it was a heartless monster, it would not let go of any living creature that might exist.

This characteristic makes them almost like hunting dogs and guards among monsters. Many cultivators who intend to sneak into the monster's lair will suffer a great loss at the hands of these monsters who have no brains and therefore cannot be deceived by various spells.

But on the other hand, because they are too stupid, if this group of monsters guard a target alone without the help of other intelligent monsters...then they can be easily lured away or lured out and killed one by one.

This heartless demon was the one with two horns, and its sensitivity to the golden spiritual energy was extremely obvious. When it came out of the cave, it discovered the source of the abnormal spiritual energy at the first moment.

A drone and a small purple-gold bottle.

At the top of Broken Blade Mountain, surging spiritual energy flowed into the small bottle, like a whale swallowing the ocean and all the seas returning to the abyss.

"It was indeed drawn out."

Not far away, at the edge of the evil cloud, An Jing was lurking among the rocks. He used the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition to disguise himself as a part of the Golden Evil Cloud Barrier, and controlled the drone to seduce Mo Tu from afar.

He prepared many traps outside the cave, but this was the first time he seduced the demon.

It would be best if this hunt is successful, but failure doesn’t matter.

Thinking of this, An Jing increased the speed at which the Nalong Bottle absorbed the gold energy.

"Hey..."

Mo Tui raised his head slightly, and the two horns on his head glowed with a faint white light.

It cannot sense the drone. In its view, it is a special and strange object. If it swallows it, it will be extremely beneficial to it.

With the intelligence of the Demon Shed, it was simply unable to comprehend the concept that 'there was someone behind the bottle controlling it', nor could it comprehend that 'good things that suddenly appeared were basically trap baits', so it did not hesitate, and quickly chased after the Nalong Bottle with its snake-like body.

Bang! ! !
The Heartless Demonic Metamorphosis looks stupid, but it has extreme numerical strength. Its body is light, but its demonic energy is extremely abundant. In an instant, accompanied by a flash of afterimage, there was a sudden explosion in the air, and the Demonic Metamorphosis suddenly leaped into the air, closing the distance of dozens of feet in an instant, and wanted to swallow the Nalong Bottle and the drone into its stomach!
But An Jing already knew this, and Xiyin also accelerated suddenly and crossed the golden evil cloud barrier.

If Mo Tu dares to enter the Evil Cloud Barrier, An Jing will let him know how powerful the practitioners of Taibai Haoling Divine Forbidden Technique are with the blessing of the same evil energy in the sky.

However, the demon stayed where it was after leaving the Suling Cave for a hundred feet and stopped moving. It was sure that it had not caught the drone in the first place, so it immediately retreated and returned to the Suling Cave.

"So rigid? Not greedy at all."

An Jing tried a few more times and found that as long as the Xiyin drone showed its figure and approached within a hundred feet, Mo Tui would immediately turn around and attack, but once it was over a hundred feet and came to the vicinity of the evil cloud, it would immediately turn around, leaving absolutely no chance for anyone.

This is probably the disadvantage of being wise. People always desire better things, so they become greedy. Even if they know that they need to retreat sometimes during a battle, they still want to take a chance.

But it doesn't matter, An Jing has other plans.

He once again controlled the drone and lured Mo Tui to a depression a hundred feet inside Suling Cave. Mo Tui did not have any doubts and quickly chased the drone into it.

Then, lightning suddenly appeared and turned into cage-like chains, all of which bombarded Mo She!
Mo Tu's body was already covered with wounds from the impact with the Immaculate Wood. Before he could heal, he was pierced by the thunder chains. He was unable to move for a moment and was bound to the spot, and could only endure the endless bombardment of thunder.

"Whoops!!!"

With demonic energy rising from its body and black smoke billowing, the Demon Shed made a strange sound, like a huge airflow rushing through a narrow passage. It curled up suddenly, seemingly because of pain, but in fact it was to protect more of its body, that is, the vital "Abyss Cave" located in the chest and abdomen.

But it's no use.

The moment the Demon Metamorphosis was attacked, the air was heated by thunder, and the expanding shock ring blew Xiyin up and down. The Nalong Bottle fell, and An Jing jumped up, caught the Nalong Bottle in the air, and began to absorb the spiritual energy in it violently.

In his hand, the thunder talisman was burning, and the talismans he had purchased were mixed with the Five Weapons True Thunder. The surging golden evil spear was condensed with explosive lightning.

The huge thunder sounded like the beating of a giant drum, rang out three times in rapid succession.

The first attack was when An Jing threw the golden lightning spear with all his strength.

The second time, the golden lightning spear hit the back of Mo Tui, causing an explosion directly opposite the abyss cave.

The third time, An Jing himself used the Zhitian technique. He turned into a shadow and swooped down with the full power of the Ba Hai Knife, making a roar!
Anyone who can hear this roar will think that this is a sound that is enough to illuminate the heaven and earth, tear apart all darkness, and smash all evil spirits and monsters.

After passing a distance of more than thirty feet, the back of the Demon Sheep had been shattered by the lightning spear, and large groups of high-density demonic energy gushed out. An Jing's eyes lit up with golden and red blood light, and his True Spirit Pupils saw through the demonic energy. The Overlord Sea Sword in his hand was emitting shimmering light, and a shadow of a killer whale appeared, which crashed into the body of the Demon Sheep!

At the moment of being attacked, the Demonic Metamorphosis let out a sharp explosion, and its body bent strangely, spewing out a huge amount of demonic energy, as if it wanted to use the wound on its back as a big mouth to swallow An Jing in one bite.

It can indeed do so, because the demonic shedding has no difference between positive and negative, left and right. It is essentially a ball of high-density demonic energy covered with a layer of skin. An Jing dares to approach and attack, which is just what it wants.

Demonic energy was surging like a tide, and all the surrounding grass, trees, soil and rocks were withered and decayed, turning into gray-black dust and ashes. The human body could never block this level of demonic energy pollution. Even if a martial artist had a strong body, he would inevitably be corroded by the demon!

But the anti-evil field unfolded like a bubble in the tide.

Wrapped in the field, An Jing rushed through the evil spirit without any harm.

Although the field generators on his shoulders instantly gave off a red temperature alarm and could overload at any time, he was not panicked at all. The Sea-Breaking Knife in his hand completely turned into a raging sea, almost cutting the Demon Shedding in half, and directly shattering the 'Abyss' located in the chest and abdomen of the Demon Shedding.

When the abyss was shattered, the feeling of tranquility was very wonderful.

It was not the feeling of destroying any entity or soul, but a kind of empty attraction.

If I have to describe it, the abyss is like an invisible magnet. If a sword cuts it, even if it can be broken into pieces, the attraction will still cling to the sword - and if the sword is pulled out, some of the magnet fragments will remain on the sword, and in turn erode the sword, while the other part will remain in place and condense into a hole again.

Unless there is sword intent to prevent the fragments of the abyss cave from being touched, and to completely crush and cut them off, thus cutting off the source of suction, real damage can be caused to the abyss cave.

The Ba Hai Sword, which was fully activated by the Nalong Bottle, was a genuine martial vein-level power. With the blessing of An Jing's sword intent, it instantly shattered the abyss of the demon's transformation.

The demon didn't even have time to let out a roar of pain, his entire body suddenly contracted, and with a swing of his tail, he drove An Jing into the ground like a pile driver.

The force was so terrifying that it shook the earth and the violent shock spread.

In terms of pure brute force, Wuxin Motu is considered strong among martial arts masters. An Jing, who had just launched a slash of sword, was unable to resist at all and was knocked five feet into the ground.

That is to say, his supernatural power of "Zheng Jian Bai" protected the internal organs throughout his body, so he did not suffer any injuries. Otherwise, an ordinary strong man would have been crushed to pieces after being hit by such a blow.

The demon struggled desperately, roaring and screaming, its huge body rolling on the ground and in the thunder trap, and even broke free from An Jing's thunder chain, causing large clouds of electric arcs and dust.

At the same time, it also spewed out a large amount of purple-black demonic energy, which carried the sinister evil of the Four-Winged Moon Snake. When the evil splashed on the ground, a large amount of purple-blue mist emerged, corroding the ground into large pits.

At the same time, three monstrous demonic auras suddenly surged out of the Suling Cave. The moment they realized that their kind was being attacked, all the demon shepherds rushed out like conjoined twins, and rushed to rescue the demon shepherd that was trapped in the thunder trap at lightning speed!

A hundred feet is the distance that these demon sheddings can reach in the blink of an eye after rushing out of Suling Cave!
But for An Jing, he had killed Mo She in the blink of an eye.

Boom—the demonic energy evaporated and burned, and was quickly converted into Xuanyuan energy by heaven and earth, and the Tianxuan Zhenfu in An Jing's sea of ​​​​divine energy quickly absorbed and converted it.

Seeing their own kind die, the demons did not have the wisdom to get angry, but they all felt threatened and started attacking in the direction of An Jing.

The most terrifying one was the demon with double horns and claws, almost in the shape of a half dragon. It groaned, its eyes flashed, and layers of dark purple circular halos, five in number, floated behind it, pulling in the atmosphere.

On the Broken Blade Peak, all the poisonous evil layers were shaking layer by layer, creating five huge waves that were about to press down on An Jing - the four-winged moon snake had completely shed its "poisonous evil" talent, which was inherited by this demon!
"What is this Shuo Yue Ying doing? If you want to transform into a white dragon, there's no need to leave your magical powers to the monsters!"

Seeing this, An Jing's face darkened. It was right not to fight this group of demons head-on. The Wumai demons could actually use the divine power of the Shenzang level indirectly? If we can't kill them with one strike, it will be really difficult to deal with them!
Fortunately, he was well prepared. He immediately put the drone and the Nalong Bottle into the Taixu magic weapon, and put the Tianxuan True Talisman into the Sea of ​​Gods. At the same time, he summoned Fuxie's body from the Sea of ​​Gods and opened the Taixu channel to leave.

boom!
A powerful wave of poisonous evil struck An Jing's original location. The entire Broken Blade Peak trembled slightly, and a semicircular impact ring spread out.

A huge corrosion pit appeared around the top of the mountain, filled with poisonous steam.

Upon noticing An Jing's disappearance, the unintelligent Demonic Shedding didn't even stop to observe, but came directly forward to share the remaining demonic energy of the Dead Demonic Shedding.

The heaven and earth had already converted most of the demonic energy into Xuanyuan energy, which was taken away by the Tianxuan Zhenfu, but the remaining small part of the demon body and demon material had not yet been collected by An Jing. After the remaining three demon sheddings shared the food, their aura increased a bit, and then they returned to the Suling Cave without looking back.

Tianyuan world.

Iron Hands Recycling Shack.

Huo Qing was not in the recycling hut. He had to learn the formation recently, gradually take over the network of people from Tieshou, and deal with government officials in Chonggang Town. He was very busy.

Nian Quan also entered a new round of training. His next competition seemed to be hunting monsters in the wilderness. Principal He specially invited several famous wilderness hunters to teach him combat and survival skills in the wilderness. An Jing couldn't stay alone in the mansion with three surveillance cameras, so he returned to the cabin.

"The plan is correct, but there are unexpected troubles."

After returning with the Wumai-level Xuanyuan Jingguang, An Jing was delighted with his harvest, but he also thought of the half-dragon demon shedding, and suddenly felt a headache: "Although I killed a demon shedding, I didn't have time to recover the magic materials. The remaining demon shedding will probably devour its body to become stronger."

"The other demon exuvias are easy to deal with. Even if they are all eaten by them, they are still within my control. But the half-dragon demon exuvia, if it devours other demon exuvias of its kind and becomes stronger... it must be destroyed!"

Having made up his mind, An Jing was not in a hurry to return to Huaixu. He planned to first stay in Tianyuan, use Xuanyuan Jingguang to quickly practice for a few days and then go back to prepare a new round of traps.

In the back room, An Jing began to practice the Nine Qi Refining Prohibitions of Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition that he had thought of a long time ago.

The nine prohibitions of the spirit start with the whole body and end with the spirit. In the middle are the limbs, hands, feet, veins, tendons, skin, flesh and bones. It is a process that starts with the big framework and then refines it step by step.

The beginning of Qi refining is also the end point of spiritual awakening. The first of the nine prohibitions of Qi refining is also the spirit and soul, but it is no longer the whole of the 'soul', but the 'human soul' among the 'three souls and seven spirits'.

The three souls are heaven, earth and man (life).

Among them, the Heavenly Soul is the true spirit, the original God, immortal and indestructible, neither increasing nor decreasing. All intelligent creatures have it, and it is the proof bestowed by heaven and earth. All destinies and gifts from heaven are attributed to it.

The earth soul is also called the Yin God. It is not innate, but is the wisdom and aura that gradually grows as a person grows up after being born into the world. It is the essence of the gift of understanding and also refers to the embodiment of the cause and effect entanglement of all people in the world, which is also the spiritual practice.

After a person dies, the true spirit is reincarnated and the earth soul turns into a ghost. The saying "If one only cultivates the ancestral nature but does not cultivate the elixir, it will be difficult for the ghost soul to become a saint" means this. If one does not cultivate the physical life qi, the body will inevitably die in the end, the seven spirits of the human soul will dissipate, and only the earth soul will remain in the world as a ghost, and it will be difficult to make further progress.

It sounds like it's all about the cultivation of the soul, which is different from the so-called "body training" of Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition - but it's not the case.

The Heavenly Soul is difficult to cultivate. To reach the Heavenly Soul, one must at least be at the peak of the Golden Elixir, achieve the Dao, and achieve immortality with the True Spirit. To really make progress in this area, one must be at the Yuanshen realm. The Earthly Soul is the so-called "nature", and all kinds of visualization and contemplation methods are to cultivate it.

The human soul is the embodiment of the seven emotions and six desires, memory and ambition. As the saying goes, 'The two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, only the soul of life is in the body'. The heavenly soul is the true spirit bestowed by heaven, the earthly soul is the accumulation of the nature of ancestors, the thread of cause and effect, and has no entity. Only the human soul governs the body.

The human soul is divided into seven spirits, and the interpretation of the seven spirits varies in many classics. Some refer to them as seven emotions, some as seven virtues, and some as seven qi.

"If you want to cultivate your spiritual nature, then the seven souls can be the seven emotions and six desires, the seven colors and five virtues."

Fu Xie said: "But if it is about refining the body, then the three souls and seven spirits also have their own rules, that is, 'the sky derives five qi, the earth derives five flavors, which are the three souls and seven spirits, and the five elements of heaven and earth combine to form a human being'."

"There is also the theory of seven poisons, which symbolize the seven kinds of spiritual achievement and the calamity levels that must be overcome."

"How do I feel?" An Jing frowned and said, "It feels like there are several different schools of practice. In order to unify their views, they have come up with several different views on the three souls and seven spirits?"

"That's right. I'm a sword, and I don't really understand you humans." Fu Xie was a sword again at this time, and he said indifferently: "Anyway, Taibai Haoling's divine prohibitions are not that troublesome. The nine prohibitions of Qi refining are 'life soul', 'seven spirits' and 'life qi'."

"First, cultivate the soul of life, and evolve the seven spirits. They correspond to the heart, brain, liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder. Finally, the seven spirits will be united again, transforming life into qi. The sound of qi flowing throughout the body is like thunder, giving birth to the supernatural power 'Ming Shang Yin', and then the foundation can be established perfectly."

The seven spirits of Taibai Haoling's divine prohibitions correspond to Qi, which mainly cultivates various internal organs. Every time a prohibition is cultivated, one's own spiritual Qi can have an additional special feature. This feature also makes An Jing realize that it is similar to today's martial arts: "Sure enough, combined with the nine prohibitions of opening the soul, isn't this the original version of the magic?"

"Today's martial arts magic requires the body and qi to merge from the very beginning, and then condense the magic. But in ancient times, people first refined the body, then refined the qi, and then built the foundation!"

"The progress of the times is also for a new world." Fu Xie nodded slightly. Although he was an ancient sword, he did not reject new methods at all: "You have already cultivated to the time of controlling the sky, your soul is strong, and your life soul has been cultivated to the seventh or eighth level. This time, I think you may be able to directly condense the first forbidden, and then condense the second forbidden!"

"Try it."

An Jing took out the Xuanyuan Jingguang around the Tianxuan Zhenfu without hesitation and swallowed it.

Suddenly, a pure vital energy filled An Jing's body and soul.

Just as Fu Xie said, An Jing's 'life soul' is already very stable with the suppression of Zhi Tian Shi, and all that is needed is to impose restrictions and construct a whole.

This was just a slow process. With the support of the Xuanyuan Pure Light, An Jing's Taibai Forbidden Seed splashed out thousands of starlights and sank into the soul. It could almost be said that the first ban was completed in an instant.

In an instant, An Jing felt that his soul became stronger and his control over the spiritual evil became more direct.

Because after An Jing's soul was blessed by the restriction, it was not only integrated with An Jing's body, but also with An Jing's spiritual evil - in simple terms, An Jing's spiritual evil also became a part of his body.

In this way, the evil spirit is blessed by the soul and naturally becomes more resilient, and the scope of the 'body' governed by the life soul also becomes larger.

At the end of the Nine Taboos of Qi Refining, spiritual evil spirits fill the whole body, the soul surges, and nature and man become one. Through the spread of spiritual evil spirits and souls, the surrounding world is transformed into a small world within one's body.

This is also the prototype of the "Dharma Domain", and is similar to the martial arts martial arts vein of "breaking the mysterious gate of heaven and earth, connecting the veins of heaven, sea and earth, and forging the formation realm within the body."

"The first ban is accomplished."

An Jing sensed it and found that there was still most of the Xuanyuan Pure Light, so he continued to digest it.

Suddenly, the soul generated seven streams of light, with the spiritual root as the source, and derived veins like blood vessels and tree roots, faintly entangled with the internal organs.

This time An Jing's situation was not critical, so there was no need to quickly improve his short-term combat effectiveness, so the second ban he chose was still "Heart".

The heart is the source of blood and energy in the human body. It corresponds to one of the seven souls, the Swallowing Thief, and is the basis of energy circulation. If this taboo is cultivated, it can enhance the speed of recovery of the cultivator's spiritual evil, making it difficult for external poisons to enter the body.

To practice this taboo, the heart needs to be stopped temporarily. Although a warrior can completely stop the heart from beating if he is not fighting and simply stimulate the blood to maintain circulation in the body, this kind of thing should be done as safely as possible. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, An Jing will not be able to regenerate his heart.

Fortunately, An Jing had Zhi Tian Shi. With the clear mind achieved by the first forbidden 'Life Soul', he activated Zhi Tian Shi, temporarily stopped his heartbeat, and quickly imprinted the restriction inside and outside the heart. With the heart blood as the source, he gradually spread his restriction throughout the internal organs.

Soon, as the Xuanyuan Pure Light burned fiercely, the restriction spread like a waterfall. After a while, the second restriction 'Heart Devouring Thief' was completed!
An Jing even had some spare energy to make a slight improvement in the progress of the third ban!
The third taboo is the 'head', the source of human intelligence, which corresponds to the corpse dog, one of the seven spirits, and is the basis of perception and wisdom. Once this taboo is cultivated, the spirit evil will have its own spiritual perception, and the operation will be more refined. It will also counterattack all external attacks that touch the spirit evil range.
This prohibition is much slower to cultivate, and requires "pause for thinking" to gradually condense the prohibition with the instinct of the soul.

This felt a little beyond An Jing's expectations - Zhi Tianshi's accelerated thinking was actually useless in this regard, or rather, although it could be used, it was only twice the speed of instinct, which was too slow compared to An Jing's thinking speed.

Until the end, after a day, all the Xuanyuan Pure Light that An Jing obtained from hunting the demon shells was consumed, and the third ban was only half completed.

"Not bad, I caught up with the progress in just a little while."

When An Jing opened his eyes, a halo appeared behind his head. There were seven flames in the halo, corresponding to the fires of the seven souls. Now there was a ball of fire burning fiercely, and the second ball of fire was flickering and about to ignite.

At this moment, he felt that the spiritual power in his body was becoming stronger and stronger, and his heart beat more powerfully. The spiritual power gathered here and gradually became the center.

"In this way, the 'Mirror Heart' of martial arts can also be put on the agenda!"

By observing himself with the Emperor's method, An Jing realized that his miraculous practice had actually made quite a bit of progress.

Although martial arts and cultivation are two different systems, An Jing only has one body after all. If one side is strengthened, the other side can also benefit - although this is also because An Jing has the Monster Tonic Pill as a gift package, for a true genius, dual cultivation is the right thing to do.

Standing up, An Jing felt that his strength had improved again. His spiritual perception could spread along his Taibai evil spirit or blood evil spirit. In other words, he could do as he pleased, as described in strange stories, where one could monitor the situation in an area by leaving a drop of blood, or lock onto a person for a decade or two by patting his shoulder.

This is also the reason why Taibai Haoling Divine Forbidden Technique can be regarded as an immortal technique - other techniques, in order to achieve this effect, require special practice of different "techniques", such as "Blood Mind Technique" and "Qi Sensing Technique".

But for those who have entered the Dao or even achieved the Dao level of immortals and gods, these "skills" are nothing more than instincts, and the "methods" are nothing more than what can be achieved naturally after in-depth practice.

This is the importance of advanced exercises.

"Although this demonic molt is tricky, once it is eliminated, it will be a super tonic pill!"

After sorting out his gains, An Jing became more determined to wipe out the demons in Suling Cave - even without the Suling Sword Lotus, just the Xuanyuan Pure Light obtained by destroying these monsters might allow An Jing to directly cultivate the Taibai Haoling Divine Forbidden Level to the seventh or eighth level, and maybe even complete it.

Next, An Jing had to think about the plan for the remaining three demon sheddings.

"First, we need to lure out the half-dragon demonic molt separately - but its half-dragon body is not very afraid of thunder."

Thinking of this, An Jing still used the water mirror to order two thunder talismans from the special market. After all, if he couldn't deal with the half dragon, he could deal with the other two demon molts: "Besides that, its body seems to be stronger. Do you have any equipment specifically for dealing with dragons?"

An Jing searched on the Tianyuan Jieling website and found that there were some, but they were all extremely expensive, with the price starting at 10,000 merits. He closed the page directly: "If I had 70,000 or 80,000 merits, would I need to come to you to buy the Dragon Slaying Nail? I can't buy a magic weapon and use the Five Weapons True Thunder to blow it up myself?"

"And the Dragon Slaying Nail has to be hit on the dragon's spine to be most effective. It's really funny. If I can do this, then any other magic weapon can also beat a dragon to a pulp."

"Hmm... Looks like I need to ask someone who's more familiar with this."

With this thought in mind, after An Jing got the replenished thunder talismans, he saw that Huo Qing had not returned yet, so he simply went straight back to Huaixu Realm.

The sooner you return, the sooner the cooldown will start. What's more, the only one who truly understands things that target dragons is probably the dragon itself.

Huaixu Realm, Broken Blade Peak.

The demon shedding that was destroyed by An Jing has disappeared, and the place where its body was located has become a dark poisonous pool. The other three demon sheddings are still in Suling Cave and are not lurking in the area that An Jing left.

An Jing even moved a mile while traveling, but found that it was unnecessary. After shaking his head slightly, he chose to return to Linjiang City to recuperate first.

"Ruhuiruhui, do you have time?"

On the way back to the city, An Jing passed by Emperor Blood and asked You Ruhui on the other side: "Do you know any dragon-slaying magic weapon, or any tricks to deal with the dragon clan?"

Because he has made great progress in the cultivation of the Seven Souls, his consciousness has become more fluent and clear, so You Ruhui should be able to receive it quickly.

[You've made progress again? No, wait, An Jing, what are you doing?! ]

After a while, a response came. You Ruhui seemed to be startled. She said in shock: [I am in the Ancestral Dragon Hall. Why are you asking me this? A dragon just greeted me. I was almost scared to death by you! ]

"Oh, I have a half-dragon demon molt here..."

An Jing told You Ruhui about the situation of Wuxin Demon Shedding and Broken Blade Mountain, which immediately made You Ruhui feel relieved: [Thank God, I thought you were going to take action against the dragon clan. By then, it will be difficult for me to be a dragon and it will be difficult for me to be a human.]

[Half-dragon Demon Transformation, with Golden Poison, your Golden Thunder is hard to be effective. This is indeed tricky... Wait a minute, I will ask for you]

"Then I'll wait, but you have to be careful. That's the Ancestral Dragon Palace. It's a bit dangerous for you to ask about this topic." An Jing reminded.

[You just know it now] You Ruhui responded unhappily: [Just say thank you if you know it! What kind of person is this, to make people do such an embarrassing thing...]

"Thank you very much!"

An Jing naturally had plenty of patience, and just before he returned to Linjiang City, he didn't know how You Ruhui had done it, but he actually found a way for An Jing to deal with the metal white dragon: [Jin Jie's own bloodline tends to be white dragon. She said that she is most afraid of the "melting gold fire" and the key to this melting gold is to "burn the wood first, then melt the gold"]

[Fire burns wood, and when the fire is strong and abundant, it can melt gold and iron... The effect of pure fire is average, especially in the current frost disaster. The spiritual atmosphere is 'cold yin suppresses yang', the fire is weak and the yang is falling. An Jing, your strength is lower than that demon. It is difficult to rely on your fire-attributed Mars Blood Evil to break its body protection. Especially the dragon clan's body protection is extremely strong, and the same is true for half-dragons.]

[Therefore, it is necessary to use the wood energy to boost the fire to its extreme strength before it can be transformed into the fire that melts gold]

"This……"

When An Jing heard this, he immediately had some ideas: "In other words, if I have two thunder talismans, Wood Thunder and Fire Thunder, and use them together, can I achieve a similar effect?"

[Probably] You Ruhui was not too sure: [Now that Sister Jin has mastered the Five Weapons and Thunder Technique, she is no longer afraid of this kind of five elements restraint. I told her that you encountered a half-dragon monster, and then she racked her brains to come up with the thing that she thought was difficult back then.]

[Anyway, you try it first. I have sorted out the information about the True Dragon Spine and will send it to you in a while. By then, with your understanding, maybe you can see through the weakness of this Half-Dragon Demonic Shedding? ]

"Okay, thank you very much."

An Jing already had an idea in mind. After chatting with You Ruhui for a few more words about his recent practice, he hung up the phone and returned to Linjiang City.

An Jing looked down at the spiritual plant warehouse in Linjiang City. He was thoughtful: "Wood Qi... If I use blood evil to burn off some of the wood qi of low-quality spiritual plants, I might be able to accumulate a large amount of blood evil in a short period of time."

“If we can bring the earth vein power of the Wenwu Roulette and the thunder talisman, we may be able to kill the half-dragon demon directly.”

"After killing the half-dragon demon, the remaining two are nothing to worry about. I can deal with them at the same time if I set up traps."

The only question is, do we really need to consume so many spiritual plants?
Although An Jing had already earned back the money he spent on buying fertilizers, the remaining spiritual plants that were harvested in a hurry could be considered as the reserves of Linjiang City. They could develop people's livelihood and refine dragon energy, and this was the harvest he really needed.

However, Fu Xie came up with a good idea.

"Why don't you ask the Broken Blade Forest?"

Fu Xie reminded: "The entire Broken Blade Mountain Forest should be a big demon spirit - if it were my time, I would definitely not think so, because the wisdom of plant demon spirits appears very slowly."

"But in your era of destiny, those who can become great demon spirits all have destiny and intelligence. You can talk to it about the problem of demons and see if it can help you?"

"Also, that Immaculate Tree was able to produce a Sword Lotus. It must also be a demonic spirit. It may not be so obvious, but it must have intelligence to fight against those demonic molts."

"Indeed!" Fu Xie is knowledgeable and has a broader mindset than An Jing in this regard. His eyes lit up: "In that case, I will try it tomorrow after the Taixu Channel cools down."

As for today, without the Taixu Channel, An Jing would naturally be more cautious and take a day off first to avoid encountering any accidents that would prevent him from being able to escape.

However, An Jing had no time to rest.

As soon as he entered the city, he saw Xu Tai, who had been waiting for him, coming towards him.

"City Lord An!"

The burly man gave An Jing a formal salute, handed over two letters, and then said in a serious tone: "Here is your message, please take a look."

——Why are you so serious today?

An Jing looked at Xu Tai curiously, who was standing straight with scars on his face looking much smoother, and muttered in his heart, "What news is this? Could it be an order from the Master Shenzang or the Dachen government?"

You were right—even higher.

After opening the envelope, even An Jing was stunned for a moment, then he let out a breath, feeling a little complicated, yet a little relieved, and said, "Good guy, it's finally here."

No wonder An Jing’s emotions are so complicated.

Because the first letter came from Mingjing Sect, his master, Xiansheng Zhenjun Chen Yinzi.

The second letter came from the Dachen government... the King of Northern Frontier, His Royal Highness Prince De.
