Chapter 12 Do you want a ninth-level demon element?
I thought that my disciple had lost consciousness, but I didn't expect that he still had the strength to cry out for hunger. A helpless smile appeared at the corner of Jixing's mouth, and he waved his sleeves around, and the Taoist altar returned to its original appearance in the blink of an eye.
But some of Xiao Yu's spiritual power still remained in the air, and that spiritual power occasionally turned into snowflakes, sometimes into ice flakes, sometimes changing, sometimes melting away.
Xiao Yu muttered feebly, threw herself on the ground like a toad, hugging Ji Xing's feet, and closed her eyes as if she was sleepwalking.
I don't know if it was her imagination, but there was a faint smell of barbecue coming in from outside the hut, causing Xiao Yu, who was almost unconscious, to suddenly open his eyes.
Using her last bit of strength, she jumped up from the ground and sat up!
Hum hum... The room was filled with the fragrant smell, and her saliva kept flowing down the corners of her mouth, and even dripped on Ji Xing's clothes, scattering them into mottled marks, which looked a little disgusting.
"Master, have I ascended to heaven... Someone is roasting rabbit in the sky, and this smell... is right here..."
As she said that, Xiao Yu continued to inhale the smell, like a starving ghost, her eyes widened and she searched around the room. She even hugged Jixing's thigh and started to smell it until she looked up and saw Jixing half-squinting.
With eyes closed, he shyly let go of his hand.
"It won't be too late to ascend to heaven after eating this meal."
Jixing looked helplessly at this useless apprentice, and looked towards the door unconsciously, indicating to her that the smell of barbecue came from outside.
At this time, Xiao Yu was like a hungry wolf, wanting to rush out and rush straight to the scene in an instant, but her rationality still allowed her to maintain the most basic etiquette. She raised her head to ask for Ji Xing's opinion.
"Hey, you go ahead. After you have eaten, you will renovate for three days. Master will assess your progress in swordsmanship during this period..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only an afterimage left in front of him, and Xiao Yu arrived at the door in the blink of an eye, leaving all the words after "eat full" behind.
The door creaked but did not open. Xiao Yu rushed out like a hungry wolf out of trouble.
A wisp of cooking smoke floated up from the edge of Jinghu Lake at the bottom of the valley. The smell of barbecue was so overbearing that it easily drifted into Jiexing's house.
At this time, the person who was roasting rabbits at the bottom of the valley was none other than Hu Taoer. She was humming a little tune, but an inexplicable coldness flashed across her body, making her hair stand on end.
This strange feeling reminded her of the cold and ominous feeling when she was a child and was secretly watched by other monsters, making her unconsciously vigilant.
At this moment, a white shadow suddenly appeared on the cliff in the valley, which shocked her.
Xiao Yu stood on the cliff, and the breeze in the valley blew up her dress, making a fierce sound. This scene made Hu Tao'er feel so familiar. The last time she saw Xiao Yu standing there, it seemed like just yesterday!
She stood in the wind, her long black hair floating strangely behind her, and her eyes, like an evil ghost, stared at Hu Tao'er.
This was the unique expression of a wild beast when it was about to be hunted, and what she was staring at were the rabbits in front of Hu Tao'er.
"Isn't she... going to dance again?"
Hu Tao'er opened her mouth wide and looked towards the cliff above her head. She was still mumbling, wondering what the person above was going to do... She didn't need to guess. The next moment, Xiao Yu jumped from the cliff.
Jumped down from above.
"Oh my mother!"
While Hu Tao'er was amazed, Xiao Yu quickly fell down, like a white lightning, swooping down towards Jinghu Lake!
Hunger had made her lose all reason.
This time!
She firmly believed that she would be able to draw a beautiful arc in the high sky, and under the most beautiful sunshine in the morning, her most heroic figure in her life would be reflected on the Mirror Lake!
The surrounding spiritual power seemed to be in tune with her, wrapping her tightly and letting her fly freely in the air. Behind her were the floating clouds in the sky, getting farther and farther away from her. And she was running against the sky, insisting on being above the Mirror Lake.
Conquer the art of soaring!
Seeing that he was three feet above the lake, Xiao Yu used his spiritual power like last time, trying to lift himself up so that he could glide across the lake.
But with a sharp and vague spoken word, she plunged into the lake, leaving only a beautiful splash on the lake.
The lake water splashed on Hu Tao'er's face, making her whole body alert, and her fiery red tail was so cold that it exploded into a big hair ball again.
The next second, a pale hand crawled out of the dark lake water, and stretched out tremblingly towards Hu Tao'er. This scene scared Hu Tao'er so much that she quickly stepped aside, not even paying attention to the rabbit in the fire.
Then, a disheveled head and a body dressed in white emerged from the water. The man in the water climbed ashore with difficulty, and slowly crawled towards Hu Tao'er like a ghost. His long wet hair covered his face, making her look embarrassed.
The gloomy air is dense and even more tragic.
But after climbing a few steps, the smell of roasted rabbit came with the morning wind. Xiao Yu suddenly changed his route and climbed towards the bonfire.
He was so fast that he arrived at the roasted rabbits in a blink of an eye.
Regardless of everything, he grabbed the biggest one among them, picked up the hair that was in the way with his greasy hands, and started to eat it.
The sight of a hungry wolf pouncing on its food shocked Hu Taoer. Even though she knew that the person in front of her was Xiao Yu, she was still shocked by her beast-like behavior.
One after another, in the blink of an eye, the three rabbits had turned into a pair of bones and were thrown at her feet. Hu Taoer also came to her at this time, picked up the smallest one, and started to chew it. She liked it
Eat the tender ones.
But just as she took a bite, Xiao Yu suddenly clutched her neck in pain, fell to the ground and started rolling around, slapping her chest.
"Help...help..."
Xiao Yu struggled to squeeze out a few words and stretched out her oil-stained hand towards Hu Taoer.
"Are you...poisoned?"
Seeing Xiao Yu like this, Hu Tao'er was also startled, and quickly threw the rabbit out of her hand, chewing a few mouthfuls and spitting it out.
"Water... water... I'm going to... choke to death..."
Xiao Yu was choked to the point of suffocation, and her eyes were about to turn white.
At this time, there was a smell of wine, and a large mouthful of strong wine was poured into her mouth.
With this big mouthful of cold wine, the piece of meat stuck in her throat was finally washed away, and her breathing became smoother for an instant! But then, a spicy taste invaded her mouth and nose, and there was also a grass-like taste in her mouth, which made her
I started coughing uncontrollably.
"What the hell are you talking about! It's so raw and spicy that it chokes me to death!"
Xiao Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was red from holding back.
"This crappy thing... Bah! What do you mean by a crappy thing? I've been keeping this for a hundred years, and you caught up with me as soon as I dug it out!"
Hu Tao'er said, shaking a small wine jar in her hand, and there were no fewer than four or five jars scattered around her feet. Obviously, before Xiao Yu arrived, she had been drinking and eating meat alone for a while.
Giving Xiao Yu a hard look, Hu Tao'er took another sip. After that sip of wine, a blush flashed across her white face, then quickly faded away, and she made a sound of relief from her mouth.
Then, a thumb-sized mung bean appeared on her fingertips, and she handed the bean to Xiao Yu.
"This is a magical bean. After eating it and drinking it, it won't be spicy. This is my unique secret recipe. Beans paired with wine will last forever!"
Hu Taoer's face was full of pride, staring at Xiao Yu, expecting her to eat the bean quickly, and at the same time, she also put a bean into her mouth.
When Xiao Yu saw this, he also ate it. Speaking of which, the beans were also very magical. The moment they entered the mouth, they turned into a very cool breath, covering people's mouth and nose.
Xiao Yu took the wine jar handed over by Hu Tao'er and took a sip with hesitation. It must be said that under the magical effect of this magical bean, the wake-up call became sweet and delicious. After one sip, he felt that he was still having fun.
.
But Xiao Yu recalled that Hu Tao'er had tricked her into eating fruit that left her empty, causing her to almost "suffocate to death", and her anger suddenly surged. But then she found that she was eating someone else's meat and drinking someone else's wine.
As the saying goes, if you want to take revenge on someone who is soft-spoken, you have to get past the soft-spoken moment like today before looking for another opportunity.
"I found that you talk very little, so little that if others don't talk to you first, you won't take the initiative to say a word."
While gnawing on the rabbit, Xiao Yu's expression was stunned by Hu Tao'er's sudden question, and then he started eating and drinking as if nothing had happened.
She raised her eyes to look at Hu Taoer, and found that the other person seemed to be looking forward to her answer, staring at her closely, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal. So Xiao Yu took a sip of wine, and drank some of the sweetness that made him unable to wake up.
The overdone piece of rabbit swallowed it.
"It's not a good thing to talk too much. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make and the faster you die."
Xiao Yu used a chatting tone, but answered very sincerely.
After hearing this, Hu Tao'er seemed a little disappointed, but after a moment she seemed to have made a great determination. She took a breath and looked at Xiao Yu seriously.
"Do you want a ninth-level demon element?"
Going straight to the point, without any delay, speaking concisely and to the point, Hu Taoer asked straight away.
The sudden question made Xiao Yu almost spit out her drink. Somehow, she felt like a thief at the moment. Her eyes looked around with vigilance, especially at the cliff.
"Ancestor, are you crazy? If you want to die, have you seen my master's orchard behind the cliff? Go and eat it now. If you eat it to death, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow!"
There was something in Xiao Yu's words, and he deliberately exposed a section of his arm, which still had blood-red traces from excessive expansion of the meridians.
But Hu Taoer just pretended to be stupid, with an expression of "I don't know what you are talking about", picked up the wine jar in his hand, and took a few sips.
"I'm going to do something important, and by the way, I can help you get a ninth-level demon element. We're going secretly this time, without telling anyone!"
Hu Taoer paused, her eyes seeming to tell Xiao Yu that "she didn't drink too much." She looked excited, as if she had obtained the nine-level demon essence.
"How about it? Do you want to go? If you want to break through to the late Yuancheng stage, if you don't have a powerful nine-level demon element, it may take you who knows how many years. There is an opportunity in front of you, just waiting for you to get it!"
She asked again, with an endless attitude.
It has to be said that Xiao Yu hesitated. She wanted the nine-level demon essence in her dreams. When Laoshu held the Huanhuan Pearl in his hand that day, she felt the terrifying demonic power emanating from the demon essence.
Wrapped in crystal, the power is still terrifying.
It was precisely because she paid too much attention to that thing that day that Hu Taoer discovered her desire.
Looking back at herself, although she is already in the middle stage of Yuan Cheng, she is not familiar enough with Xiaoliu's spells. Moreover, Xiaoliu has practiced swordsmanship for ten years, and she can only remember most of the feints. Therefore, she
I felt it was difficult to do it at this time and hesitated.
Just when she was hesitating, Hu Taoer's right hand softly passed in front of her eyes, and a glowing sphere appeared in her palm, which was a six-layer demon essence.
The six-layered demon essence exuded a flickering and coquettish light in Hu Taoer's hands, and the spiritual power in it was unreservedly presented in front of Xiao Yu, like a seductive fire that made her pupils burn.
stand up.
It was a group of desires that came from the depths of her heart.
"This is just a sixth-level demon essence. Look at its quality, tsk tsk... Ordinary monks would be able to reach the middle level of Yuan Cheng directly if they got one, but you... unless you have one hundred and eighty, you won't be worthy of this level.
You! It has to be a bigger, brighter, flashier, and more powerful ninth-level demon yuan."
Speaking word by word, Hu Taoer dangled the demon element in front of Xiao Yu's eyes, and from time to time she raised it above her head to shine the demon element in the sun to make it look even more dazzling.
This was not enough, her hands were swaying back and forth under the warm sun like a magic trick, and four six-layer demon elements were caught between her fingers in the blink of an eye.
The majestic demonic power flows out from her hands continuously. The six-level demon is even worse than the human race in the middle stage of Yuancheng. Xiao Yu knows this very well, Xiaoliu's memory is naked there.
"With your world-weaving magic, souls can come back and forth in the blink of an eye! Take me there, and after I finish my work, I will help you obtain the ninth level of demon essence, and then you can bring me back.
No matter how you look at it, you took advantage of me, right?"
At this point, Xiao Yu suddenly realized that he was just using her as a cross-border tool. Otherwise, it would take half a month with her cultivation to go from Kongkong Valley to Blind Mountain. It would still be a journey.
As long as everything is safe and sound!
Finally seeing through the essence of the problem, Xiao Yu decided not to speak for now. She felt that the matter might not be as simple as Hu Taoer said. Based on her understanding of Hu Taoer during this period, there must be something else wrong with this guy.
The truth was not told.
Seeing Xiao Yu's silence, Hu Taoer realized that her plan might fail. She had underestimated the opponent's mind and had spoken a bit hastily.
"You didn't tell the truth, I won't go."
Xiao Yu said coldly, trying her best to hide her longing for the nine-level demon essence in her heart, hoping that Hu Taoer would not find it again.
Then she picked up the rabbit that was almost roasted by the fire and started to gnaw it. The hunger before had inevitably made her not sharp enough. The plan for now was to eat enough first, and then compete with this little monster in a battle of wits and courage.
Seeing that she was exposed, Hu Taoer looked regretful, but she had never planned to persuade her so easily, so she had made some mental preparations. She put on a look like "I was discovered by you" and begged Xiao Yu.
.
"Okay, how about I owe you this time? You just need to take me there, and I will definitely get the nine-level demon essence for you. In addition, I will give you two more six-level demon essence for running errands.
How is the reward?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yu's eyes froze, and his eyes were lost in a narrow slit. He squinted at the demon element in Hu Taoer's hand, and he had a question in his heart.
"Why not two seventh- or eighth-floor ones?"
Xiao Yu stared at the six-layered demon element that shone like marbles in Hu Taoer's hand and said doubtfully.
Hu Taoer smiled contemptuously, as if she was mocking her for not having seen the world, and her expression made Xiao Yu puzzled, and he began to think to himself, and gradually gained some insights.
"You must have thought of it yourself. Our demon clan is different from you. Demons practice against the sky. Cultivation is extremely difficult. Only after Yuancheng can we have the opportunity to transform into human beings. After Yuancheng, the practice of the demon clan is also slightly different from that of the human race.
The difference is, for example, Yuan Cheng’s junior high school and later stages correspond to the third, sixth and ninth levels of the demon clan.”
"As for the demon clan, there are very few fourth-, fifth- and seventh-eighth-level demons. The main reason is that these big demons on the fourth, fifth, and seventh- and eighth-level are the main targets of the upper level, that is, the sixth and ninth-level demons.
Therefore, those who survive are extremely rare, and precisely because they know their situation, most of them hide deeply and rarely emerge from the world."
"It is even more difficult for a nine-level demon to break through to greatness than to reach the sky. It often requires devouring thousands of seven- and eight-level demon elements, plus a huge opportunity that defies the heavens, to be able to break through. But for a seven- and eight-level demon, it is possible to break through.
There are very few demons, so six-level ones are much easier to find. But it would take hundreds of six-level demon elements to equal the power of one seven-level demon element."
"It's conceivable..."
"It is conceivable that since the gap in the level of demon yuan is so big, if you want me to run errands for you, in addition to helping me get the ninth level demon yuan, you will also have to give me twenty, no, thirty six
Only the level demon element will do! Otherwise, there is no need to discuss it!”
Hu Taoer's serious statement was interrupted by Xiao Yu. To her surprise, Xiao Yu took the initiative to offer a price, but thirty six-level demon yuan would really kill her!
"Sister, thirty, do you want my life? I'm just a weak little demon with a third-level cultivation. How can I get you so many six-level demon elements? I don't have them!"
Hu Tao'er became a little anxious and showed a pitiful look on her face. She looked at Xiao Yu pitifully, even pulled her sleeves and began to beg, and moved the roasted rabbit and wine towards her.
But Xiao Yu and Ben don't accept this trick. She knows very well that this guy must not be the boss yet! If he must have this nine-level demon essence, since he has to take the risk, he must also get a reward of equivalent value.
!
"Humph, I've seen it all! If you think about it more carefully, for example, your belly button, throat, creaks, hair, or farts..."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu picked up Hu Taoer's big furry tail with his fingers, and looked at the bottom of her tail, as if there was some treasure hidden there.
Hu Tao'er seemed to be caught at the gate of her life, the hair on her tail suddenly exploded as she rubbed the ground, and she was frozen there, unable to move.
Seeing her reaction so fiercely, Xiao Yu curled his lips, feeling bored, but let go of her tail. Hu Taoer then ran out as if relieved, staying far away from her, covering her buttocks and glaring at her.
In her eyes, Xiao Yu was really a little perverted just now.
"You! Are you a bandit? If you don't give, you will rob!"
Hu Tao'er was so angry that her ears stood up. She stood warily far away from Xiao Yu and shouted angrily at her.
