Chapter 1931 Ziyang Tower
Chapter 1931 Ziyang Tower
"Strange, why would a Daluo cultivator who practices the Bone Dao Law come to Ziyan City at this time?"
Looking at the soldiers defending the city who were trying their best to wipe out the Bone Demons, Shi Chuankong couldn't help but frown and whispered.
The existence of Ziyan City is due to the fact that the nearby Ziyan Lake produces a large amount of poison every year, but the demonic energy itself is not strong.
Normally there are not many high-level cultivators in the city, and only when the purple smoke condenses into a cauldron, will high-level poison cultivators from all over the Demon Realm gather here.
Even so, it is rare to see a great poison cultivator coming here.
One reason is that there are only a few Daluo monks among the poison cultivators, and the other reason is that the Daluo monks are worthy of being called saints in the Demon Realm and have already created their own heritage. Naturally, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave has no appeal to them.
But now, a Daluo Bone Demon rushed to Ziyan City before the Ziyan Ningding Cauldron, which made Shi Chuankong doubt his purpose.
Could it be that their whereabouts have been exposed again?
"Brother Shi, now that we are here, it would be even more suspicious if we turn around and leave now. Let's go into the city."
Seeing that he was uneasy, Luo Hong immediately whispered a message to him and then took the lead to walk towards the doorway that had just been reopened.
"If my elder brother lets a Daluo monk assassinate me, it would be against our ancestral teachings. He shouldn't be so unwise."
After comforting himself in his heart, Shi Chuankong followed Luo Hong's footsteps and successfully entered Ziyan City.
Coming to the street, Luo Hong looked around and saw many strange-looking demon monks walking there.
Some of them have insect legs on their bodies, some have necks as thick as toads, some have snake tongues coming out of their mouths, and some have their entire lower body turned into that of a centipede!
"Brother Shi, are these people all poison cultivators?"
Looking at this scene of demons dancing wildly, Han Li couldn't help but look at Shi Chuankong and asked.
"Excuse me for making you two laugh. The aesthetics of our Saint Realm are different from those of the Immortal Realm. So even if these poison cultivators have a way to prevent their bodies from being deformed by their skills, they will not use it."
Shi Chuankong smiled as if he was used to it.
"Okay, we'll separate at the intersection ahead.
Brother Shi, remember to investigate the origins of that Daluo Bone Demon, and when you have the results, remember to inform Luo."
Luo Hong had already obtained the soul-nourishing bottle containing the Purple-Eyed Nascent Soul on the way, so now they had no reason to travel together.
"No problem. I wish Brother Luo a fruitful harvest in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."
Shi Chuankong responded readily, then he and Luo Hong turned in different directions at the intersection.
"I also hope that Brother Shi will have a smooth journey in the future."
After replying through voice transmission, Luo Hong turned into a shop on the street.
"Master, it smells so good here!"
As soon as she entered the door, A Zi, who was called out from the spirit beast bag by Luo Hong and hidden in her sleeve, started slurping her saliva.
Luo Hong took a quick look and found that this was a shop selling local poisonous substances. To A Zi, this was undoubtedly a rat entering the rice jar.
"Azi, what smells the best here?"
Although he chose to come in for a stroll just to separate from Han Lao Mo and the others, since he was already here, Luo Hong naturally didn't mind buying some snacks for A Zi.
“That guy behind the counter smells the best!”
Ah Zi immediately replied with anticipation.
Luo Hong looked over and saw a beautiful woman in a red robe, with a snake tongue and a snake-like waist, who was behind the counter, receiving two female guests.
"True Immortal Cultivation. Well, compared to the poisons she sells, this lady boss is indeed more coveted by Ah Zi."
However, Luo Hong is not a devil after all, and certainly would not let her eat the proprietress just because of A Zi's words.
"Among the latest batch of goods, the white-headed snake saliva is the most toxic. If you take a whole bottle, it will definitely turn your hair snow-white and make the one at home so obsessed that he can't get out of bed for a year!
Huh? This one"
It was not until Luo Hong approached the counter that the beautiful woman with a slender waist noticed him and interrupted her sales talk in surprise.
"Bring me the highest grade poison in your store."
Luo Hong revealed a little bit of his aura and gave the order.
"Taiyi Monk!"
The two demon women who were still hesitating were shocked when they saw this, and quickly put down the small bottles in their hands and ran out of the store.
"Yes, senior!"
Although the beautiful woman with a slender waist was puzzled as to why the Taiyi monk came into her small shop, she did not dare to neglect him. She immediately bent down and took out a blood-red jade box from a tightly sealed small compartment.
After placing it on the counter, the beautiful woman with a slender waist cast several spells on herself before slowly opening the jade box, revealing a pool of blood-like liquid inside.
"Senior, this ball of prince's blood is the treasure of our store.
It is...Ah, senior, be careful!"
The beautiful woman with a slender waist was about to introduce Luo Hong to her, but she saw Luo Hong directly reaching out to the red blood clot.
As if sensing life, the red blood ball immediately jumped out of the box and attached to Luo Hong's palm.
But at this moment, a faint purple mist floated out from Luo Hong's sleeve and instantly enveloped his entire palm.
In this way, the red blood clot naturally hit the purple mist layer, and no matter how it twisted and tumbled, it could not break through it.
At this time, Luo Hong grabbed it with his backhand and held it in the palm of his hand.
The surrounding purple mist immediately surrounded it, and in just three breaths, it was completely refined!
Seeing this, the beautiful woman with a slender waist was stunned for a moment before she bowed to Luo Hong and said:
"Senior, you have great poison skills. I was just too talkative just now."
"It's okay. This should be some kind of scorpion blood. Do you have more?"
As he spoke, Luo Hong casually threw out ten magic stones and added:
"Of course, it would be best if the grade could be higher."
“Senior, you are very knowledgeable. The reason why this thing is called Prince Blood is that it comes from a monster called ‘Scorpion Prince’. Since this monster can get this name, there must be a more powerful scorpion monster.
It's just that my shop is not qualified to sell such poisonous materials. If you don't mind, I can take you to meet the Marquis."
Sheyaomei happily put away the magic stone and said in a flattering manner.
"Marquis? Are you talking about the Marquis of Ziyang who is in charge of this city?"
After refining the prince's blood, A Zi vaguely felt that this thing could improve her bloodline, so Luo Hong couldn't help but become interested and asked.
“That’s right. Although my cultivation is low, I am from the Marquis Ziyang Mansion.
The things you want are only sold in Ziyang Tower, which is directly under the Marquis' Mansion. What do you think?"
The beautiful woman with a slender waist asked with some hope.
If she took Luo Hong over, then no matter what Luo Hong bought, she would get a share of the benefits, so she couldn't help but take it seriously.
“Although this is my first time in Ziyan City, I have heard of the name of Ziyang Tower several times.
In that case, please lead the way quickly."
Luo Hong showed some interest and gave instructions to the beautiful woman with a slender waist.
"Senior, please sit down for a moment. I will go and arrange the animal cart right away!"
The beautiful woman with a slender waist was overjoyed when she heard this. She immediately walked out of the counter, closed the door, and offered a communication talisman.
A few hours later, a beast cart pulled by four colorful beetles fell from the sky and stopped in front of a nine-story building that was completely purple and emitted the same purple smoke as outside the city.
"Senior, please!"
The beautiful woman with a slender waist got out of the car first, and then began to lead the way diligently.
"Honglin, why are you here in Ziyang Tower instead of looking after the store in the outer city?"
As soon as I reached the door, the soldier guarding the gate started asking.
"This senior Taiyi wants to buy a high-level poison, but I don't have any, so I can only bring him here."
The beautiful woman with a slender waist immediately explained politely.
"You are so lucky. Come in. Have you forgotten the rules?"
The gatekeeper looked at the beautiful woman with a slender waist with envy, then made way.
“I haven’t forgotten!”
The beautiful woman with a slender waist's expression changed slightly when she heard this, but she soon regained her smile and walked into Ziyang Tower with Luo Hong.
After she was alone, she carefully sent a message to Luo Hong:
"Senior, may I ask what realm you have reached in your cultivation?
I don't mean to pry into the secrets of my seniors. In fact, the rule of Ziyang Tower is that you go to the level that suits your cultivation level.
The highest nine floors require a cultivation level of the late Taiyi stage to enter."
"Oh? Even with the magic stone, it won't work?"
Luo Hong asked casually.
"Of course you can. As long as you spend enough magic stones on your floor, you can go up one floor. The same is true for the rest."
The beautiful woman with a slender waist immediately replied excitedly.
Just by looking at her performance, Luo Hong knew that the magic stones she was talking about must be very valuable. Although he had acted casually before, he actually only had tens of thousands of magic stones on him, which he had obtained from killing the Yuan Bee before.
After careful consideration, Luo Hong still chose not to reveal his true cultivation level.
"I am at the initial stage of Taiyi cultivation. Please take me to the seventh floor first."
"Yes, senior!"
The beautiful woman with a slender waist immediately accepted the order and took Luo Hong to the first-floor teleportation array.
Not long after, with a flash of teleportation light, Luo Hong and the beautiful woman with a snake-waisted waist appeared on the seventh floor of Ziyang Tower.
The layout here is not like the counters on the first floor, but rather like a museum. Each item exuding a strong aura of law is displayed in a purple light shield.
The beautiful woman with a slender waist was obviously coming to the seventh floor for the first time, and the curiosity in her eyes was even more obvious than that of Luo Hong.
After walking around for a while, Luo Hong discovered that there were quite a lot of sixth-grade and fifth-grade poisonous materials here. However, given the demonic environment near Ziyan City, even in the Ziyan Lake, the number of poisonous beasts above Taiyi would certainly not be many.
"Why are most of the poison materials here taken from poisonous beasts, but there are not many natural materials and treasures?"
Luo Hong asked directly to the beautiful woman with a slender waist beside him.
“I have heard a little bit about this. It is said that most of the things sold above the seventh floor are obtained from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
However, the Poison Cave will be opened next time, so there should be little stock in the building now.
If you have a fancy for something, you need to act quickly."
The beautiful woman with a slender waist performed her role as a salesperson diligently.
"I see. Without saying anything else, go and ask me about the situation of the poisonous material."
Luo Hong nodded, thinking that this was really the case of "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water."
"Madam is right there, I will go and ask for you right away."
After saying that, the beautiful woman with a slender waist walked towards a dignified woman who was talking with several women in the distance.
Luo Hong had already used his spiritual sense to scan every cultivator on the seventh floor, and naturally noticed this woman.
However, she had just begun to cultivate Taiyi, so Luo Hong did not pay much attention to her. However, he did not expect that she had such a close relationship with Zi Yang Hou.
However, at this moment, a ray of purple light rushed in directly from outside the building and landed heavily in front of the dignified woman, stirring up a circle of purple spiritual waves that instantly swept around.
Sensing the powerful aura coming from the front, the beautiful woman with a snake-like waist immediately turned pale and a scrolling screen began to flash before her eyes.
Fortunately, at this moment, a ball of purple mist came from behind her and blocked her way.
At the same time, the other cultivators on the seventh floor were all impacted by the purple spiritual wave. Among them, the Taiyi cultivator was fine and just took a few steps back.
But those Golden Immortal monks who relied on the Magic Yuan Stone to get up were in a miserable state. They were all knocked away and vomited three liters of blood in the air!
"I am so angry! That Master Zhaogu really doesn't take me seriously!"
At this moment, an angry voice came from the center of Lingbo.
I saw a handsome man in a purple robe, with a pair of large claws growing out of his mouth and three pairs of sharp legs on his back. He was hugging the dignified woman, his chest rising and falling.
"Husband, please calm down. This is not the place to vent your anger."
The dignified woman immediately gently stroked the handsome man's chest and comforted him softly.
The handsome man's expression immediately relaxed. He glanced at the chaos on the seventh floor, especially the purple mist on the body of the beautiful woman with a snake-waist. Then, without any expression, he disappeared from the spot with the person in his arms.
The cultivators present did not dare to say anything about this. After all, the handsome man was none other than the marquis who ruled Ziyan City, Marquis Ziyang, who had reached the late Taiyi stage!
Soon, the injured Golden Immortals crawled up from the ground, thinking that they were unlucky, hastily took a few pills, and left in a hurry.
Those Taiyi monks all agreed not to stay for long. After all, who knew what Zi Yang Hou's mood would be like next, and they didn't want to offend him.
Thus, in the blink of an eye, the originally bustling seventh floor was left with only Luo Hong and the frightened beautiful woman with a slender waist.
"Senior, I'm afraid it's a bad day today. Should we come back another day?"
After calming herself down, the beautiful woman with a slender waist first thanked Luo Hong for saving her life, and then made a sincere proposal.
"It's okay. Marquis Ziyang just lost his composure for a moment. Since he opened the door to welcome guests, I don't think he would do anything too extreme."
Of course Luo Hong couldn't leave. He had just heard it clearly. The four words "Zhaogu Zhenren" were definitely correct!
“The Daluo monk from before turned out to be him.
Strange, in the original time and space, shouldn't he have been in seclusion in Zhaogu Mountain at this time, and only came out to hunt down Han Lao Mo and the others after his disciple Hua Jing was killed?"
Luo Hong had some understanding of Master Zhaogu. He was the Great Luo of the Bone Dao and was extremely protective of his people.
But the most important thing is that this guy shouldn’t be here right now.
"This is probably a change caused by me. The Purple Sun Marquis has obviously already had contact with him. This is a good opportunity. I will go and find out the situation."
As a thought flashed through his mind, Luo Hong immediately activated his Daluo Yuanshen.
