After returning from the Demonic City, Ming Zhiyuan has always looked dull and refused to talk to anyone. After Hai Qianmian reported the losses of humans and monsters, he locked himself in the alchemy room without saying a word, day and night.
of refined elixirs.
In this battle, Yu Haoran, the Martial Lord of the Yu clan, died in the battle, Yu Lian Sheng, the Emperor Wu, died in the battle, and seven of the twelve Martial Gods of the Li clan died in the battle.
Yu Yi was seriously injured, leaving four Emperors, two of whom were also seriously injured and dying.
Fortunately, Ming Zhiyuan brought some first-aid pills and after taking them, they could breathe again, and the flying monsters rushed them back to Flowing Fire City to continue their treatment.
Otherwise, the Yu family may lose most of their high-level warrior disciples in this battle.
Yingdu, the leader of the demon eagles in Warcraft, was attacked by two elders of the Demon King Martial Emperor hidden in the demons. He didn't even have time to self-destruct, so the inner elixir was taken away on the spot.
Lang Tu, the leader of the Gale Demon Wolf, died in the battle, Hu Qiu, the leader of the Demon Flame Tiger, died in the battle, and the other Martial God Demon Beasts suffered numerous casualties.
The other second and third grade monsters were even more so. When they left, there were three to four hundred of them, but only a dozen came back.
Of the eleven elders of the Tianyuan Human Race in Wushen Mountain, eight died in the battle, and the remaining three were seriously injured. Qi Tianhai, the second elder, the seventh elder, and the leader Mu Fengge were seriously injured.
Hai Qianmian brought an army of 100,000 people, but less than 50,000 came back alive.
The demon clan is ruthless and vicious to the core, and they truly fought for all. In the end, when the demon city was cleaned up, except for some demons in the city who were too old and weak to move, all the other demons died in the square.
.
In this battle, the demons were basically completely eradicated, but the price paid by the humans and the demonic beasts was also extremely high.
Without the help of the Yu family, the humans and monsters in Tianyuan Continent would never have been able to make this step.
Yu Yizhi recovered from his injuries for two days and had no time to continue his recovery here. He rushed back to Jiuyan Continent with the Yu family's children and the bodies of the Yu family's children who died in the battle.
When leaving, Ming Zhiyuan only told him that when he returns, there will be no strong enemy in Tianyuan Continent. Shengnu Mountain will send most of the alchemists to Jiuyan Continent. The humans and monsters in Tianyuan Continent will help Yu Shi.
Help the family prosper.
The flying monsters brought back countless demon corpses and inner alchemy.
All members of the Holy Lady Mountain are mobilized to refine various elixirs.
Qi Tianhai showed his determination to join the human race in this battle. Although he was seriously injured, he didn't care. As soon as he came back that day, he asked his human disciples to carry him to Nan Chunyi, nagging Nan Chunyi.
Junyi hurry up and help him refine the elixir.
He didn't dare to bother Ming Zhiyuan. Everyone could see that Ming Zhiyuan was simmering with anger.
Only the handsome boy captured the Demon King's golden monster mount and drove all the monsters tamed by the Demon back to Flowing Fire City.
When it dragged the golden phoenix to Ming Zhiyuan, Ming Zhiyuan took the rare opportunity to touch its head and praise it.
This phoenix is somewhat different from the ordinary monster phoenix. Its momentum is not inferior to that of monsters, and it has the potential to be promoted to the God of War.
Ming Zhiyuan touched its lower abdomen and sensed its inner elixir, and then realized that this phoenix must have eaten a lot of low-level demon inner elixirs.
Unexpectedly, the Demon King would be willing to cultivate a monster like this.
When you want to attain enlightenment, do you want to take it with you to the Heaven of Eternal Life?
Or do you also want to cultivate it to the realm of a martial god and then take its inner elixir?
All this is unknown, only the dead Demon King himself knows.
The golden phoenix has a somewhat unruly personality, and he refuses to accept or get angry when facing pretty boys. After being beaten many times by handsome boys, he finally calmed down his temper.
Ming Zhiyuan asked Feng Wu and Feng Jiu to live with it. The second-grade monster couldn't speak human language yet, but it was already very smart.
It itself is a sibling of Feng Wu, and within a few days it became familiar with Feng Wu and the others, and came together to ask for pills from Ming Zhiyuan.
Ming Zhiyuan didn't know what the Demon Emperor had given it to eat before, so Feng Wu asked it. It only knew it was something dark and couldn't tell what it was.
Ming Zhiyuan did not dare to give it other elixirs rashly.
After the devil's matter was resolved, the entire Tianyuan Continent was finally able to live in peace.
Ming Zhiyuan asked King Qilin to take the Blue Lion King and follow Yu Yizhi and others to Jiuyan Continent. After all, there were spirit stone veins there. Let them go there. If nothing else, the two kings would definitely be promoted to the Martial Emperor.
Two days later, Ming Zhiyuan refined the Demon Emperor's blood and inner elixir, collected them, and prepared to bring them to Jiuyan Continent for use.
Qi Tianhai finally found him. Two of his disciples carried him to the outside of Ming Zhiyuan's alchemy room. They looked at Ming Zhiyuan with some confusion and said: "Alchemist Zhiyuan, you are going to Jiuyan Continent again, right?
Look at me..."
He was holding a wooden box in his hand. Ming Zhiyuan glanced at it and knew what it was.
"Oh, look at my memory. After the war, there were too many things. I forgot about this matter. Elder Qi, if you put the inner elixir here, I will refine it for you in the next two days before leaving. Don't worry.
I won’t forget this time.”
Qi Tianhai smiled from ear to ear, "Then I'll trouble Master Zhiyuan."
"Elder Qi, please don't be polite. You are now the elder of Martial God Mountain, and you and I, Saint Lady Mountain, are brothers. There is no need to be so open-minded."
Qi Tianhai was so busy that he hurriedly left, saying that he would not delay Ming Zhiyuan's practice of alchemy. In fact, it was a disguised form of urging Ming Zhiyuan to refine it for him as soon as possible.
Ming Zhiyuan returned to the alchemy room with the wooden box, and when he opened it, he found that the inner elixir was the inner elixir of the demon Qinglai. Qinglai was already in the realm of Emperor Wu at that time, and his inner elixir was black with a hint of red. Even so
After a long time, this inner elixir is still as fresh as new.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, I took out the Demon Emperor's inner elixir to compare it, and saw a slight difference.
The red light of the Demon Emperor's inner elixir almost formed lines, while Qinglai's inner elixir only had a faint trace of red light.
Is this the change in inner alchemy after different realms?
Ming Zhiyuan pondered that he himself also had inner elixir, but his martial arts training was difficult to overcome, and he was still only a second-grade Martial Saint.
In order to make his martial arts progress faster, he has tried countless elixirs, but he still can't make his martial arts and alchemy progress at the same speed.
Ming Zhiyuan himself has taken numerous magical beast inner elixirs, but now he no longer uses the magical beast inner elixirs to improve his martial arts.
Therefore, there is no dissatisfaction with Qi Tianhai's method of using the inner elixir of the same race to improve his cultivation. After all, the hands of these demons are stained with countless blood of the human race, and before the second level of the Martial God, the warcraft relied on the same race to fight each other to hunt each other's inner strength.
Dan ascends to the next level.
When the Demon King was sleeping, these demons cost hundreds of thousands of human lives just to sacrifice him. All these things made Ming Zhiyuan have no pity or taboo against the demons.
Putting the Demon Emperor's inner elixir aside and holding Qinglai's inner elixir in his hand, Ming Zhiyuan closed his eyes and thought for a long time before finally starting to select medicinal materials on the medicine shelf.
Qi Tianhai has completely surrendered to the human race, so there is no need to hold him back.
The last time he was still in the demon clan, he added some extra things to the elixir he refined for him, and this time he would take this opportunity to unlock it for him.
As the fireworks in the alchemy room rose, the familiar sound of turning the alchemy furnace rustled.
Ming Zhiyuan seemed to be immersed in a quiet world. He closed his eyes and kept moving his hands.
As time slowly passed, he gradually understood in his mind that the medicinal materials were gradually taking shape in the alchemy furnace, condensing the medicinal properties, and then evenly spreading the medicinal properties into the small pills.
In the end, it seemed that the whole person had entered the alchemy furnace, watching with his own eyes that the elixir slowly became rounder with every stroke of his hand, and watched as the power of the medicine was concentrated into the small pills bit by bit...
...
Ming Zhiyuan began to feel a little excited. Is this what the parchment said about the soul entering the elixir when refining it?
It's like entering the pill furnace in person, watching the pills rolling in the pill furnace, and you can even feel the heat in the pill furnace. As the pills keep rolling in the pill furnace, the intensity and angle of the hand slaps are constantly changing.
Changes, the medicinal properties of the elixir become more and more convergent.
That night, the fire in the alchemy room never went out, and the sound of beating the alchemy furnace never stopped.
Late at night, the sound of beating the alchemy furnace like the beating of the heart can be heard in the entire courtyard, and even in the entire General's Mansion.
Yan Shouquan, Nan Chunyi and other alchemists from Saintess Mountain all quietly came to Ming Zhiyuan's alchemy room and meditated collectively in the yard, listening carefully to the sound that seemed to be a kind of blood surging in the body.
It's like the sound of a heart beating slowly.
Everyone breathed slowly, closed their eyes, and felt it carefully.
In the end, everyone felt as if their own hearts were beating along with the beating sound.
At dawn, the sound of flapping finally stopped, and then there was the sound of cleaning up the elixir furnace. The strange thing was that the elixir was clearly being boiled inside, but no one could smell the aroma of the elixir coming out of the furnace.
Not long after, the door of the alchemy room opened with a creak, and Ming Zhiyuan stepped out and saw the courtyard full of fellow disciples sitting cross-legged on the ground.
He smiled with some relief. Last night, his soul entered the elixir and gained enlightenment. It was also his first time and he gained a lot. However, such enlightenment is rare. If it can bring the enlightenment of alchemy to his fellow disciples, that would be the best.
.
Nan Chunyi and Yan Shouquan stood up first and faced Ming Zhiyuan.
"There is a new entry into Zhiyuan Alchemy." Yan Shouquan patted Ming Zhiyuan on the shoulder, his expression more pleased than his.
Nan Chunyi touched his beard and looked aside, his eyes full of pride.
This is his disciple, his disciple Nan Junyi.
Several junior uncles followed behind, all looking at him with smiles on their faces.
After listening to it all night last night, they all had their own insights on the alchemy path.
The other brothers and sisters glanced at him with all kinds of envy and admiration.
When this junior apprentice first entered the apprenticeship of the great master, everyone thought that he was too old to learn alchemy and medicine.
I'm afraid that when he started, he wouldn't have the smart thinking of a young son, and his understanding wouldn't be developed at a young age, so it would be difficult for him to make any achievements in the alchemy path.
None of them were admitted to Saintess Mountain at the age of five or six, and they spent more than twice as long as Ming Zhiyuan studying alchemy.
Now it seems that they still underestimated him.
While the Holy Lady Mountain Man was talking, Feng Wu led the golden phoenix and poked its head at the door of the courtyard to look inside.
Ming Zhiyuan saw it at a glance and waved to let him in, "What's the matter? People who are looking at the door can't come in?"
Feng Wu opened his mouth and said in a milky voice, "Jinhuang said that there is a hole under the Demon King's bed, hiding human beings or demons. He can't tell the difference."
After it said one sentence, everyone in the courtyard became quiet. It has been several days since the war, and now we know that there is a cave in the Demon Emperor's chamber, and there are still people hiding there?
Ming Zhiyuan's face changed color and his master and master uncle immediately looked at each other.
Yan Shouquan quickly sent someone to notify Mu Fengge. Ming Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said to his uncle: "Uncle, tell Feng Jiu to take Ma Tao and go directly to the Demon City."
After that, he rode Feng Wu directly and flew towards the Demon City again.
In the Demon Emperor's chamber, Ma Tao opened the Demon Emperor's huge stone bed, revealing a spiraling stone staircase underground.
Ming Zhiyuan's eyebrows knit together tightly. Why does this devil like to dig holes in the place where he sleeps?
When Ma Tao saw the familiar stone staircase in the cave, he sighed speechlessly. He looked at Ming Zhiyuan and walked down it himself.
Ming Zhiyuan followed behind him. The stone stairs were not long. After circling around in a circle, he arrived at a cave with a radius of more than 20 feet.
There are basically no furnishings here, except for a few iron cages lined up along the wall, with a person lying in each cage.
Looking from a distance, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Ma Tao walked over, looked back and forth, stood in front of an iron cage, and said angrily: "All demons play this trick."
Ming Zhiyuan also walked closer. In the first iron cage, there was a man lying on his back. His hair was messy and he looked a bit old. He was covered with tattered clothes. If you look carefully, his face looked very pale.
It's a little weird.
He knew this man. He was the head of the Fu family in Feiyun City, the rich old boss whose whole family had been transformed into half-demon and half-human by the demon clan elders.
Going further, there is a young man in the second iron cage, also lying in the cage, with his head tilted, looking at the two of them dully, mumbling something but not knowing what to say?
He didn't know this young man, but he had some similarities with the rich host's family. It seemed that he should be Fu Rushan, the eldest son of the rich host's family who escaped.
In the third iron cage, the leader of Yuhuo Kingdom, Baili Yuye, looked horrified. He looked at the two people coming down the stone stairs and couldn't help but shrink back into the iron cage. He kept muttering: "I
If you don't eat it, I won't be able to grow the inner elixir, so don't let me eat it."
Ming Zhiyuan already roughly understood what was going on here. He continued to walk towards the fourth iron cage, and it turned out to be Prince Ning inside.
At this time, Prince Ning had long lost his unruly aura. He looked at Ming Zhiyuan with frightened eyes and asked in a panic: "Who are you? Where is the Demon Emperor? Where is Ye Ming? Where is the water? Give me water.
Give me some water."
When he shouted these words, in the whole cave, the people in the iron cage seemed to be stimulated, and they all lay down on the edge of the iron cage.
Some were weak or hysterical, shouting, "Give me water, I want to drink water, water, water..."
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head slightly, with a sarcastic look on his face, and walked to the last iron cage. There was a woman inside, but this woman seemed to be pregnant. Her situation seemed to be better than the previous ones. In her iron cage
, there are jugs of water, and some leftover dried meat.
"Fu Qin'er, long time no see, Princess Ning!"
Fu Qin'er hid in the corner of the iron cage, looking at Ming Zhiyuan in horror, stroking her bulging belly with one hand and her chest with the other, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
"Why is the Demon King locking you here?"
Fu Qin'er bit her lip and didn't answer. Next to her, Prince Ning threw himself at the edge of the iron cage, "I'm telling you, give me some water and I'll tell you."
At this time, a voice came from the top of the stone staircase, "Senior Brother Ma, Master Zhiyuan, what's going on below?"
Ming Zhiyuan walked back to the stone staircase and said to the top: "There are a few half-demon and half-human beings imprisoned below. Bring some water down."
As soon as Ming Zhiyuan asked for water, the people in the iron cage stopped crying. They all held the iron bars with both hands and looked eagerly up the stone stairs.
After a while, a disciple from Wushen Mountain came down carrying a water pitcher and two porcelain bowls. Ming Zhiyuan reached out to take them, walked to Prince Ning, poured a bowl of water, held it in his hand, and looked at him calmly.
"You can say it now."
Prince Ning was dirty and smelled bad. He held the iron railing in his hand and looked directly at the bowl in Ming Zhiyuan's hand.
"I said, I said."
He licked his chapped lips, "The Demon Emperor imprisoned us here, transformed us again with his blood, and then asked us to help him cultivate the inner elixir. I'm done, water, give me water, water, give me water quickly
water."
Ming Zhiyuan looked at him, "You haven't finished talking yet, what happened to her?"
Prince Ning followed Ming Zhiyuan's gaze and glanced at Fu Qin'er next to him, and then showed a disgusted expression, "She is pregnant with the demon's child. The demon emperor wants to see if the child born between the human race and the demon race has inner elixirs."
And the talent of demonic energy.”
"So...you betrayed the human race and killed your own people, and this is what you got in exchange?"
At this time, Prince Ning no longer cared to listen to what Ming Zhiyuan was saying. In the nearby iron cages, the rich boss and his silly son, Baili Yuye, also shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Water, give me..."
"I want to drink water. Lord Demon Emperor, please give me some water. Please."
"Water, water, give me water quickly..."
Prince Ning looked ferocious and kept shaking the iron cage, "Water, water, give me the water quickly..."
Ming Zhiyuan looked at them, walked over, and slowly poured the water in the bowl onto the ground.
Ma Tao pulled out the long knife from his waist, looked at him and said, "These are those bad guys. You don't need to do anything. I will cut them one by one and send them away."
"No."
Ming Zhiyuan put the water jug on the ground, filled two more bowls of water, and placed them on the ground, "Let's go, seal the stairs after we go up."
In the cave, there were the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, the sound of shaking iron cages, the sounds of crying and begging...
Ma Tao glanced at the end of the cave and asked, "Um, that one is pregnant?"
Ming Zhiyuan stood under the stone stairs and looked at the last iron cage. Fu Qin'er was the culprit who killed Huang Ye.
He thought for a long time, but turned around and went up the stone staircase without saying a word. Ma Tao turned around and looked, gritted his teeth and followed suit.
Back in the dormitory, Ma Tao gathered the disciples from Wushen Mountain to move the huge stone next to it to block the entrance to the stone staircase.
Ming Zhiyuan was carrying his back, as if he wanted to walk out, but didn't move.
Seeing that the huge stone was being slowly moved by several Martial God disciples and was about to block the stone staircase, he suddenly turned around and said: "Bring Fu Qin'er up."
