Chapter 359 Mutual Testing
The main mansion of Hunting Sea Palace Island.
Ni Quan had just finished his six-month long retreat and walked out of the secret room with a happy face. He felt something in his heart and realized that with another year or so of hard training, he would be able to successfully enter the late stage of elixir formation. This is the minimum level requirement for promotion to Liehai City Lord. He couldn't care less.
At this time, a ray of red light rushed into the protective formation of the Island Lord's Mansion and fell in front of him.
Ni Quan raised his hand and made a move, and the red light fell into his hand and turned into a messenger talisman. With a sweep of Ni Quan's consciousness, a strange color appeared on his originally happy face.
"Come here! Go and invite Mr. Lu to come to the main hall to see me."
Ni Quan thought for a moment and then shouted out the door.
"Yes!" The disciple on duty outside the palace bowed in agreement and quickly left the island master's mansion.
A few moments later, the short and fat Lu Qian entered the hall with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw Ni Quan standing high in the hall, he raised his hands and saluted: "My lord, what are you calling me for?"
"Mr. Lu, Wu Yan plans to buy the Blood Melting Pill from me. What do you think this means?" Ni Quan asked Lu Qian with an indifferent smile.
When Lu Qian heard the name of the blood-melting pill, his expression changed slightly, and he blurted out: "Could this person really be a blood-sea demon cultivator? This pill is an evil pill that can help the blood-sea demon cultivator who practices the blood-reverse technique to condense demonic seeds!"
"Yes, two years ago, I accidentally obtained a blood-melting elixir. I originally wanted to use this elixir to win over the monks of the Cai family and provide further help to our temple. Unexpectedly, I was rejected by the Cai family. Over there at Mingxi Tower Just now, there was a message saying that this person knew from some source that I had this elixir and wanted to buy it. Ni Yi said that this person himself admitted that he was a monk of the same body of immortals and demons. It was natural for him to buy this elixir. It’s time to condense the Demon Seed Evil Pill. In fact, no matter what, as long as he can be used by me, it doesn’t matter if I sell it to him." Ni Quan pondered for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.
"A monk who is both an immortal and a demon? That's amazing! Half a year ago, before this person came to this island, he had killed the Blood Kuang Xue Feng. Judging from his desire to buy this elixir, it seems that he used the Immortal Dao Kung Fu at that time. If the blood demon guard can be successfully condensed again, wouldn't it mean that this person's combat power will be extremely powerful?" Lu Qian thought for a moment.
"It seems that it's time for me to meet him in person. As long as I can have this person's help, maybe there will be unexpected gains in this world's 'Island Seizing Conference'!" Ni Quan nodded immediately and pondered for a while.
"Well, the master is very worried. If we can get this person as an ally, the subordinates and others may also benefit a lot. I will accompany the master!"
Immediately, the two people left the main hall, turned into two escaping lights, and headed towards the town below.
…
In the private room on the second floor of Mingxi Building, Wu Yan was closing his eyes and waiting for news from Ni Zhu.
A few moments ago, Ni Tu said that the matter needed to be reported to the owner of Liehai Island for his decision, and left the private room to send a message.
Wu Yan thought about it repeatedly and had a general understanding of the matter.
At this time, he had just arrived in Xumihai. After more than a year of familiarity, Wu Yan already had a clearer understanding of the situation in Xumihai. Regarding the rules of the "Island Seizing Conference", he has gradually learned from the information obtained by Xing Xiao and others over the past six months.
What he wants is a Sea Hunting Order that recognizes the island owner in all four sea areas. It doesn't matter which sea area he signs up to participate in the Sea Hunting Battle of the "Island Seizing Conference". However, this matter obviously has a great impact on various hunting islands.
I heard that the Hunting Sea Palace in the waters of Shenmu Island is the weakest. In all the previous sea-hunting battles, the results were always at the bottom. Thinking about it, the owner of this hunting island should hope that he can stay on this island and eventually join the hunting hall sequence in the waters of Shenmu Island to participate in the hunting war.
This is a condition that can be exploited. If we use this to negotiate with the owner of Liehai Island, obtaining this blood-melting pill should not be a problem.
While he was thinking about this, something suddenly moved in his heart. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and look outside, and smiled silently with a slight movement of the corner of his mouth.
Two came at once. It seemed that the island owner knew what he was doing on the Dissociation Island.
After a while, Ni Zhu came over with a happy face and invited Wu Yan to meet him on the third floor.
Wu Yan was slightly startled, remembering the rumors about Mingxi Tower. This Mingxi Building has only three floors in total. The third level has always been a forbidden area and is extremely mysterious among the outside world. Never welcome outsiders.
It seems that the owner of Liehai Island really takes himself very seriously.
Wu Yan smiled and followed Ni Zhu to the third floor without saying anything.
When he reached the stairs on the third floor, Wu Yan realized that the third floor was indeed a forbidden area. The restrictions placed on it made it impossible for even Wu Yan's consciousness to peek into it.
Ni Zhu led the way, opened the restricted passage, and let Wu Yan to the third floor.
The entrance is an extremely special space. This is not inside a building, but an open-air rooftop fairy garden.
Within the space of the rooftop fairy garden, which is fifty feet in diameter, the sun is shining brightly, with rockery ponds and pavilions lined up in it, and the scenery is quiet and elegant.
In an elegant pavilion in the center, two people were standing there, looking at Wu Yan who was approaching with smiles on their faces.
"Haha, Ni Quan, this must be fellow Taoist Wu Yan, right? Please!"
When Wu Yan saw one of the monks wearing black robes with loose hair, he bowed his hands to him and politely let him into the pavilion. Next to him stood a short, fat old Confucian scholar with the same kind smile on his face.
The attitudes of these two people surprised Wu Yan. As soon as Ni Quan reported his name, Wu Yan knew that he was the owner of the hunting island.
Because, in a jade slip that Ni Zhu asked Xing Xiao to give to him, this name was recorded.
"It turns out that you are the island owner of Hunting Sea Palace. Sorry, disrespectful!" Wu Yan politely bowed his hand to Ni Quan and also bowed his hand to the short, fat old man beside him.
After Ni Quan let Wu Yan into the pavilion, the two of them took their seats respectively. Wu Yan couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that the short and fat old man stood behind Ni Quan automatically and did not sit down.
At this time, Ni Yi automatically stood on the other side behind Ni Quan, with a solemn expression on his face.
"I heard from Ni Chu that Wu Daoyou is a monk who is both an immortal and a demon. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. Haha, but Ni was very strange. He just took the liberty to check Wu Daoyou's cultivation. These two different types of Daoyou It seems that the cultivation level has not reached the core formation stage?" Ni Quan looked at Wu Yan calmly and asked with a slight smile.
"Island Master Ni's eyes are shining with admiration. Yes, Wu's two techniques are indeed only in the foundation building stage. If not, he would not come to Mingxi Tower to buy blood-melting pills." Wu Yan did not shy away from being criticized for his cultivation. Seeing what happened, he responded with a calm smile.
"This is strange. Ni heard that half a year ago, a monk with the same name as Wu Daoyou showed his power in the sea and killed two demonic pill-forming monks and seven foundation-building monks one after another, but he didn't know whether Wu Daoyou knew it. Do you know?" Ni Quan looked at Wu Yan closely and asked.
"Haha, since Island Master Ni has already seen it, why do you ask questions knowingly? Since Island Master Ni has come to see Wu today, we might as well talk openly about it. Wu is just a pill-forming monk, but Wu doesn't take it to heart. Wu this time I came here just for the blood-melting pill. I heard that Island Master Ni has this pill in his hands. I wonder if he can part with it?" Wu Yan knew that the Hunting Island Master had already investigated his own affairs, and there was no use in hiding it, so he simply admitted it. .
Hearing Wu Yan's personal admission, Ni Quan's pupils shrank slightly, and then he burst into laughter and said: "Fellow Daoist Wu's methods are indeed extraordinary. With this method, I think Wu Daoyou must be unwilling to sink into subordinates. I don't know what Daoyou Wu's plans are next. ?”
"Master Ni, since Wu has come to Hunting Island, he is naturally here for Hunting Order. However, he is still a little undecided about the final choice." Wu Yan seemed not to see the expectations on the faces of the three people. The meaning of hope is the way of self-care.
After hearing Wu Yan's words, Ni Quan's face changed slightly, he laughed a few times, and thought to himself, it seems that the person in front of him is not a master who can be fooled casually. He must not be interested in the hunting sea war. Nothing is known.
After pondering for a moment, thinking of Wu Yan's ability, although it was very confusing, Ni Quan still asked directly: "Since Wu Daoyou has such ambitions, I wonder if he is willing to join the sequence of this temple? Fellow Taoist, rest assured, as long as Wu Daoyou is willing to join this temple Sequence, Ni is willing to help, and he will not disappoint fellow Taoists."
"I heard that the strength of Island Master Ni's Sea Hunting Palace in Shenmu Island is not very strong. Haha, Wu heard that the assessment time for the Sea Hunting Battle of the 'Island Seizing Conference' is usually about one year. Here. During the year, the number of island masters will be determined based on the merit points of the hunting sea. At the same time, the three major hunting sea palace sequences that participated will also use their points to determine the successor of the hunting sea city master. It is said that Island Master Ni. This Hunting Island seems to have had poor results in the past four Hunting Wars. But I don’t know how many benefits Wu would gain if he joined the group of Island Master Ni?" Wu Yan smiled calmly.
Ni Quan's expression changed again, as if Wu Yan's words had hit a sore spot. However, what Wu Yan said was the truth, and he really didn't know how to refute it. Therefore, after Wu Yan finished speaking, he fell silent.
Wu Yan didn't seem to see Ni Quan's embarrassed expression, but continued to talk to himself: "Hey, the power of the forbidden magic array on the third floor of your store looks good. But I don't know which master created this array. Where are the hands?”
"Oh? How can fellow Taoists be sure that this restriction is an illusory formation?" At this time, the short and fat scholar who had been standing behind Ni Quan shook the feather fan in his hand and asked with interest.
There was a hint of shock on the faces of Ni Quan and Ni Yi.
Especially Ni Quan, the expression of surprise on his face was even worse. Since the successful installation of this forbidden magic array on the third floor of Mingxi Tower, it has received many monks in the Danjie stage, and even several monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul, but no one has ever been able to see this restriction. It's a phantom formation.
This restriction was personally refined by an ancestor of the Ni family at the Nascent Soul stage, and was asked to be placed here by Ni Quan. The ancestor of the Ni family is one of the best formation masters in Xumihai. The restraining arrays refined by his hands are countless. Even the huge protective formation of the sea boundary defense line has the shadow of this ancestor's participation.
Unexpectedly, the monk in front of him, who seemed to be both an immortal and a demon who only had cultivation in the foundation-building stage, could actually tell at a glance that this restriction was an illusory formation.
