Chapter 227 The Rune Demon Lord
Because the age has been separated by too long, the bodies of these two corpses have already rotted, and only the white skeleton remains. Of course, the two could see at a glance that these two corpses are by no means monks who have transformed into this place. Judging from the shape of their skeletons after their death, both of these corpses still maintain the posture of fighting during their lifetime.
Shui Tiancheng looked at the two corpses and sighed: "Brother Wang, it seems that we are not the first people to come here. Someone has been here before. I am afraid that there is really a treasure inside it, and it has been taken away by someone!"
"Well, there is this possibility. After all, I don't know how many monks have come to Yiling Cave for so many years. Even if the inner layer of this cave is very hidden, it is very likely that someone has discovered it before and went in! I don't believe that over the years, the three monsters have only met us people. Most of them have entrusted others to come in to help them find the jade slip for the contract." The disappointment in Wang Yuan's eyes was also obvious.
"It's a pity that the two of them jointly hunt for treasures. In the end, they ended up killing each other because of the treasures and finally dying together." Wang Tingting said with a sneer, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her pretty mouth.
"Haha, girl Ting said it well! That's because they can't trust each other. But our three major families are different." Wang Yuanxi looked at Shui Tiancheng and Lin Zhendong with a smile. But anyone knows that this statement is extremely hypocritical.
"Hehe, yes! We have worked together for many years!" Shui Tiancheng responded vaguely, his expression obviously not very natural.
Lin Zhendong nodded slightly, but couldn't wait to say, "Now we will divide the refining materials here equally."
"Okay!" Wang Yuanxi agreed immediately.
The three of them hit it off and then began to take action, collecting various rare refining materials scattered on the ground, and then divided them into three piles according to their quantity and value, and each of the three major families took one.
Then, Shui Tiancheng summoned Jiang Chen, Shui Yue Ning, Shui You Ning and Shui Xiangyong again. He said that half of the materials should be taken out and handed over to the family, and the remaining half would be divided into five parts. Each of the five received one part. Although he was a Jindan stage monk, he also had the same share as their juniors in the Foundation Establishment stage.
After hearing this, Shui Xiangyong looked happy and immediately expressed his father's noble character and praised him. However, Shui Youning and Shui Yuening looked disdainful. But he had to nod helplessly.
With their intelligence in ice and snow, they could not guess that the other half of Shui Tiancheng would probably embezzle most of them. However, now there are many places in the cave that rely on Shui Tiancheng, so they have to turn a blind eye.
Seeing that the two "fiancees" were not opposed, Jiang Chen, the "fiance", naturally did not bother to question them, so the pile of refining materials were quickly separated.
Jiang Chen roughly estimated that the refining materials in his hand alone were enough to refine four or five ordinary magic weapons, and there were some extra ones. You should know that magic weapons are utensils that only Jindan stage monks can use. These materials were sold for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones when they were taken to the auction house. No wonder the two monks who came first had the intention to meet the money and turned against each other. In the end, they died together.
After allocating the materials, Wang Yuanxi stood up and said coldly: "Have you put it away? Let's continue walking inside!"
"Yes." Shui Tiancheng, Lin Zhendong and others nodded, so they led everyone forward.
However, Jiang Chen had just taken two steps, then suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and then squatted down.
"Jiang Chen, what's wrong with you?" Shui Youning and Shui Yuening asked hurriedly.
This made everyone present look sideways.
"Oh, I feel a little uncomfortable. I guess it's too nervous. It causes the spiritual energy in the meridians to go wild. After a while, it will be fine. You guys go first!" Jiang Chen waved his hand and said with a discomfort.
"I'll stay with you!" the two sisters said in unison.
"Okay! You two will take care of him for a while. Let's go there first. Remember to follow up early!" Shui Tiancheng hurriedly instructed. Then he continued to move forward with everyone.
Seeing that Jiang Chen seemed to be dissatisfied, Shui Xiangyong and Wang Quan showed a gloating look. They wanted Jiang Chen to get into trouble. However, Lin Yushang's expression was very complicated. She glanced at Jiang Chen, then looked at the Shui sisters. After hesitating for a moment, she stomped her feet and left with the Lin family.
After everyone left, Jiang Chenfang let out a long sigh and smiled and said, "Youning, Yuening, I'm fine, I'm just discovered something."
After saying that, he looked at the bones in front of him again.
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong? What did you find?" Shui Youning and Shui Yuening asked curiously at the same time.
"Youning, Yuening, I was thinking, since these two corpses died here, what storage bags and magic weapons should be left behind. But why are there only two dead bones left?" Jiang Chen said with a mysterious smile on his face.
Shui Youning obviously had the same doubts. After a moment, he said, "Someone should have taken their things away. I think that going further in should be the real treasure storage place! An ancient god-transforming cultivator, if there were only some refining materials useful for Jindan-stage cultivators in his cave, I would be a little shabby..."
At this moment, Shui Yuening suddenly shouted loudly: "Hey, what is this?"
Her eyes were sharper than Jiang Chen. She immediately walked to one of the skeletons and turned it over. She saw a jade pendant under the skeleton, which was crystal clear and had the word "Divine Talisman" written on it.
This jade pendant is not a magic weapon, it is just an ordinary jade pendant, so it was not taken away by anyone. However, it can make people judge the identity of its owner.
Jiang Chen was also slightly surprised and said, "Divine Talisman? Is this a sect or a title?"
Shui Yuening picked up the jade pendant and observed it carefully. Her pretty eyes flashed frequently. After a long time, she sighed: "If I expected it would be right, this corpse was the "Divine Talisman Demon Lord" who was famous for his skill in making talismans in Jingzhou three hundred years ago. He spent his whole life studying various talismans. Many sects and immortal cultivators of Jingzhou Demon Sect wanted to make high-level talismans, and they all paid a high price to design and make them."
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then said quietly: "Some of the methods of making talismans that our Shui family knows are actually learned from his descendants. But after three hundred years ago, the Demon Lord of the Divine Talisman accompanied several disciples and entered the Yiling Cave Mansion, he suddenly disappeared, and since then he has no news. Everyone only said that he was in danger and died in the cave. Unexpectedly, he entered the inner layer of the Yiling Cave Mansion and died here!"
"Yue Ning, I didn't expect you to know so clearly about what happened three hundred years ago. I really admire you!" Jiang Chen smiled and patted her shoulders, and then said, "It seems that we have not encountered any ambushing mechanisms along the way. I'm afraid that it was broken by this magical talisman Demon Lord?"
"It should be like this! Although the Demon Lord of the Divine Talisman is just a master of talisman making, in fact, because in the process of talisman making, there are many places that need to use knowledge about formation bans, so he has actually studied formation bans very deeply. This person's talent in the side sect and left path. I dare not say that no one in the Demon Sect can compare, at least there are not many people in Jingzhou who are stronger than him!" Shui Yuening nodded and said.
"Well! I was also thinking, maybe the three monsters at the door had not only met us, but must have met other monks, and then tried to let them go in and look for the contract jade slips, but they had not succeeded. It was even possible that they were picking up people when they opened the cave every hundred years. We were just one of the selected groups!" Shui Youning also echoed.
Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully, then said with a little confusion: "Do you know what kind of cultivation is this magical talisman Demon Lord?"
"I heard that he should have reached the middle stage of the Golden Pill, and he is only one line away from entering the late stage of the Golden Pill. This is actually the reason why he invested in the research of talismans and too many resources for cultivation in his studies. Otherwise, he would have been able to enter the Nascent Soul stage long ago! This person should not be said to be in Jingzhou, but in the entire Demon Sect, he is a rare talisman genius! I wonder if Brother Jiang is interested in listening to his situation?" Shui Yuening smiled with his lips, and his expression naturally showed his admiration for the Demon Lord of the God Talisman.
"Okay! Then tell me! I'm a little interested in this person's situation!" Jiang Chen rubbed his back and said.
Shui Yuening was very interested in Jiang Chen's deeds and was also very happy. So she hurriedly introduced the situation of the Demon Lord of the God Talisman: "Brother Jiang, you have to know that in the world of immortal cultivation, talisman maker is a rare profession than alchemist, and it is more difficult to cultivate..."
According to Shui Yuening, alchemists can refine a lot of elixirs that increase their cultivation and break through bottlenecks. Therefore, there is a lot of demand in the world of immortal cultivation, which has led to quite a lot of people who are willing to learn alchemy.
Moreover, the cultivation of alchemists is often much higher than that of ordinary cultivators with the same qualifications. After all, they have innate advantages in the use of alchemy secrets.
But the talisman maker is different. Although Fu Lu is also important in the immortal cultivation world, it is not irreplaceable. After all, monks can also use their own magic to replace Fu Lu's attack and defense.
In the world of immortal cultivation, according to the importance, it is recognized that alchemists are the most intimate, followed by weapon refiners, and talisman makers and formation masters are ranked last. Relatively speaking, talisman makers have a better life than formation masters, because after all, cultivators also need talismans. The talismans they make can be sold more or less.
But the formation master is even more unlucky. Although all major sects and cultivation families have to build a protective formation and set up a formation ban in their important places. However, after these formation bans are established, you can never build a second one for hundreds of years. You only need to invest spirit stones to maintain its operation. Naturally, the demand is smaller than the other three professions.
The small demand for formation masters and talisman makers means that fewer people are willing to learn talismans and formations. What's more, people's energy is always limited. If a monk concentrates on learning talismans and formations, he naturally cannot spend much effort on cultivation.
Therefore, the cultivation of formation masters and talisman makers is often not high, and even the formation masters and talisman makers in the Foundation Establishment Stage are quite amazing. The talisman makers and talisman makers in the Golden Elixir stage are probably only found in a few top sects of the Demon Sect. Only these giant forces have so much capital to use elixirs to smash a talisman maker and tyrant masters in the Golden Elixir stage.
This magical talisman Demon Lord is just a casual cultivator, but he is able to cultivate to the level of the Golden Elixir stage. It is indeed a talented person. It is said that Hehuan Sect, one of the seven top forces in the Demon Sect, once offered high conditions to win him over, but he politely declined. He said that he was willing to be a casual cultivator of Yiyun Yehe and was unwilling to be governed by the sect.
If someone else dares to refuse the invitation from Hehuan Sect, you will have a lot of courage. After all, the top sects of the Demon Sect often have the idea that I can't get what I can't get, and others can't get it. There are quite a few of the talents who refused their invitations before were killed in anger.
However, because the talisman maker is really rare, and the Demon Lord of the Divine Talisman also said that he would not accept invitations from other sects, and if Hehuan Sect really asked him for help, he would not refuse. This made Hehuan Sect give up.
From then on, his fame was greatly enhanced. He became a distinguished guest of various sects and immortal cultivation families in Jingzhou. But unexpectedly, this generation of geniuses was buried here.
