Chapter 31 031, Black Death Valley, Fort
Five days later.
Black Death Valley, in the garrison fort.
Accompanied by a harsh "squeak" sound, an old wooden door covered with decay marks slowly opened, and a stale air that had been accumulated for an unknown period of time rushed out impatiently and rushed towards the face.
Zhao Xiulin took a half step back, covered her mouth and nose, opened her eyes wide, and looked through the gloomy doorway at the damp, dark, musty room in front of her, and then looked at the guide who brought her and Ni Kun here in disbelief:
"You're just going to let us live in a hellish place like this?"
The person leading the way was a woman dressed in black clothes and with a skin as pale as paper.
She held an oil lamp in her hand, looked at Zhao Xiulin expressionlessly, and said coldly:
"Remember your current situation. You have violated the rules of the sect and were punished to guard and atone for your sins. You have to live wherever the senior sister in charge arranges for you to live. Otherwise, do you still want to live in heaven?"
"You!" Zhao Xiulin's eyes were on fire, she glared angrily at the woman in black, and gritted her teeth and said, "I remember you!"
The woman in black who led the way also violated the sect rules and was punished to guard the Black Death Valley. Her cultivation was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Why was she so arrogant in front of her, Zhao Xiulin?
"Ha." The woman in black sneered, turned around and left: "You have to survive these ten years first."
Seeing the woman in black walking away, Zhao Xiulin was so angry that her teeth itched, but she had no choice but to take Ni Kun into the dark and humid room. After closing the door tightly, she quickly took out a pearl for lighting.
After inlaying the bright white pearl on the roof, Zhao Xiulin quickly apologized to Ni Kun:
"My servant acted imprudently and caused the Lord to suffer this injustice. Please punish me."
Ni Kun put his hands behind his back and walked around the room. While inspecting the living environment, he said lightly:
"It's none of your business. I'm just too impatient. I shouldn't have asked you to buy so many jade elixirs in just over three months. Although it's a bit cold and cramped here, it has everything you should have, so it's not too much.
Uncomfortable."
Although this room has not been occupied for a long time, the floor is covered with dust, the furniture is so damp that it is almost mushrooming, and it exudes a musty smell, but the living room, bedroom, bathroom, retreat room, and alchemy room are all available, so the conditions are actually pretty good.
.
Of course, it can't be compared with the quiet and elegant environment of Qingzhuyuan.
But the woman in black who led the way was right.
Zhao Xiulin is here to atone for her sins, not to enjoy happiness, so how can she have the right to care so much?
"Let's clean up first."
Ni Kun ordered Zhao Xiulin to do things, and he went to the retreat room, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and meditated.
After meditating for a while, he opened his eyes, shook his head, and thought:
"Even the air inside the garrison fort is filled with sinister and deadly energy. And there is no other spiritual energy, so it is impossible to practice normally..."
The Yin evil death energy in the garrison fort is not very strong, but it corrodes the human body all the time, and corrodes into the lungs with breathing, slowly corroding the internal organs, meridians and acupuncture points, and even wears away the foundation.
If you want to survive here, you must actively mobilize your spiritual power at all times to resist the erosion of evil spirits.
But for monks in the Qi Refining Realm, even though the recovery speed of their spiritual power can keep up with the consumption of actively resisting the erosion of Yin evil spirits, their energy has limits. There is always a time to take a nap and rest. How can they actively mobilize their spiritual power all the time?
It's not bad for a late-stage qi-refining monk like Zhao Xiulin who practices the true magic of magic. With the help of spiritual stones and elixirs, as well as top-grade or even top-grade magic weapons for body protection, he can barely survive if he endures ten years.
But the furnace tripod in the outer courtyard that practices Qingmu Jue is absolutely unlucky.
"Even if the Yin evil and death energy in the garrison is relatively thin, an outer courtyard furnace with a cultivation level of only three or four levels of Qi refining will not be able to survive even one year. At most, the cultivation level will be exhausted in seven or eight months.
The foundation will be destroyed, and then you will die..."
Ni Kun originally planned to survive in the garrison fort for a year and then "die".
However, after the actual experience, he decisively revised his plan and decided to advance the time of death by another three or four months, so as to ensure that his abnormality would not be exposed.
"I can only stay in the garrison fort until July or August. But this time is more than enough for me..."
Ni Kun took out an emerald elixir and put it into his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and began to "knock the elixir to achieve enlightenment" again.
Zhao Xiulin's plan to "smuggle" jade pills was exposed, but with Ning Feiyan's mediation, the two hundred jade pills she purchased in the early stage were not recovered and confiscated, but she was not allowed to sell them outside and could only keep them for her own use.
As for whether she can use so many jade pills...
Doesn't she have to suffer in the Black Death Valley for ten years?
In ten years, not to mention two hundred Emerald Pills, even three hundred Emerald Pills will be completely consumed, and there will not be any improvement in cultivation. The spiritual power supplemented by the Emerald Pills will all be used to resist the erosion of Yin evil.
.
Two hundred jade elixirs were smashed into her hands. After consuming them all, she could not improve her cultivation at all, and she could not repay the foreign debts she carried. She was asked to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain...
From the execution hall's point of view, this was just a small incidental punishment for Zhao Xiulin, who dug into the sect's walls and smuggled elixirs.
But no one knew that Zhao Xiulin actually purchased the elixir for Ni Kun, an inconspicuous furnace tripod in the outer courtyard.
Ni Kun has the resistance of the "Kurong Twin Body" magical power, the poison-repelling power of "Hundred Flower Pill", and the entry-level "God-Eating Heavenly Ghost" physical magical power. He is not afraid of Yin evil erosion and does not need to expend spiritual power to resist deliberately.
He also has the ability to "knock elixirs to achieve enlightenment". Since there is no additional consumption, the jade elixirs in Zhao Xiulin's body are enough for him to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in a short time.
In this way, Ni Kun relied on the elixir to practice quietly in the garrison fort, and his cultivation level increased day by day.
Zhao Xiulin would go out every once in a while to perform patrol duties.
The mission usually lasts for three days, with one day for guarding the fort and two days for patrolling. After the mission is completed, you will come back and rest for seven days before starting the next round of missions.
Regardless of whether they are on duty or patrolling, there will be other inner sect disciples who have violated the sect rules to act together. Especially when patrolling out of the fort, there will be upper sect disciples in the foundation building realm leading the team, so safety can be guaranteed.
But the environment outside the garrison fort is much worse than inside the garrison fort.
According to Zhao Xiulin's report back, in the Black Death Valley, the sun has not been seen all year round, and the evil death energy has densely gathered into a gray-black mist. Even with the eyesight of a monk in the Qi Refining Realm, he cannot see the scene a hundred feet away in the mist.
picture.
Moreover, the gray-black mist corrodes the body extremely violently.
Every time Zhao Xiulin goes out on patrol, she not only has to use all her spiritual power to resist, but also uses magic weapons to protect her body to ensure that she is not eroded by the evil spirits. After two days of patrolling, she will always be exhausted and her face will turn pale.
, his eyes were lifeless, looking like he had been squeezed dry.
After only three rounds of patrolling, Zhao Xiulin lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The beautiful enchantress who was originally as delicate as a flower gradually became as pale and thin as the female disciple who led the way.
But in Ni Kun's opinion, this is actually a good training for her.
Zhao Xiulin originally took too many shortcuts and had a weak foundation. As a result, when Ni Kun was at the fourth level of Qi refining, he was able to bully the weak, overcome the superior, and subdue her with a sneak attack.
But now, this hard work can not only purify her cultivation and solidify her foundation, but also polish her will.
As long as she can successfully persevere, the future Zhao Yaonv will probably be grateful for these ten years of suffering.
Zhao Yaonv served a hard sentence and went through a lot of hardships, but Ni Kun could not be completely idle.
With his little cultivation, he is naturally not qualified to follow his "master" out on patrol.
However, there are still many chores in the garrison fort, such as cleaning, transporting, repairing and other tasks, which the garrison witches naturally disdain to do, so they fall on the furnaces and cauldrons in the outer courtyard.
There are many furnaces in the garrison fort.
A small half of them are portable cauldrons brought by each of the witches. Most of them are poor people who have been squeezed until the oil is gone and the lamps are dry. They have completely lost their human form and even dogs are disgusted by them.
When Ni Kun was doing chores in the garrison fort, he saw many furnaces that had run out of oil.
All of them are skin and bones, with withered hair, slow movements, numb expressions, and empty eyes, like walking corpses.
Such a furnace could collapse on the spot at any time.
Many dead bodies are transported out of the garrison fort every day and buried in the Black Death Valley, where they are slowly eroded into zombies by the sinister and deadly energy.
Ni Kun could see with his own eyes the cruel end of the furnaces and tripods like ants and no peace of mind every day. Ni Kun further understood the vicious style of the Xianyin Sect.
I am extremely disgusted with this demonic sect with a glamorous appearance and numerous "fairies".
If there is an opportunity in the future, he will never mind using demons to control demons, and using the "Six Paths of Demonic Heaven" to devour all these demons.
