Chapter 22 Undercurrent

In the days when there were no monsters attacking the city, Dongjin Pass was relatively quiet and peaceful.

In addition to participating in the array formation and Gangfeng training, Tang Jie also interacted with other cultivators.

Today Tang Jie is studying a diagram of Xiao Tianxuan's fighting formation in his yard. The formation itself is not too complicated. Tang Jie can easily arrange seven or eight Xiaotianxuan fighting formations with different styles, but the one in front of him is quite exquisite in the combination and connection with other formations. Cleverly connecting itself to four different formations, the ingenious thinking is worth learning.

If you can understand it thoroughly, then the method of stacking formations in Tang Jie Formation will be greatly improved.

Tang Jie has always been good at the formations of the natural way, which is to integrate the formations with nature. As for stacking formations within formations, the level of increasing the power of formations through stacking formations is relatively low.

Now that he has a target to study for reference, he is studying diligently. At this moment, he is looking at the formation pattern and carefully pondering the layout and arrangement. His fingers are unconsciously scribbling on the ground. The hard bluestone bricks are especially under his fingers. It is as easy to draw lines as tofu.

Next to him were the ghost guards and Yiyi.

While I was in the research room, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Brother Tang, is he here? It's us!"

Tang Jie has become familiar with everyone these days, and when he heard the voice, he knew it belonged to Shen Tuyuan.

With a clap of hands, the door opened.

Four people walked in from outside, they were Ximen Changfeng, Shen Tuyuan, Binghuang and Ye Xiao. Unexpectedly, these four people came to visit him together.

The four of them entered and bowed their hands to Tang Jie. Shen Tuyuan glanced at the formation patterns carved on the ground and said with a smile: "I have heard that Brother Tang is not only brave and unparalleled, but also a master of the formation. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true." . I happen to know some formation techniques, so you might as well learn from them when you have time."

After getting to know each other for a long time, everyone no longer thinks of each other as superior or inferior to others, but calls each other brothers and sisters directly. Because of Tang Jie's strength, even though he was young, everyone still called him Brother Tang.

"Okay!" Tang Jie agreed.

The Shentu family is famous for their puppets, so they are naturally good at formations.

However, Ye Xiao couldn't move as soon as he saw the ghost guard. He pointed at the ghost guard and said: "This... this is... the ghost way!"

This was the first time Ye Xiao saw the ghost guard. Just like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, he immediately couldn't move any further.

They circled around the ghost guard, watching and praising: "Wonderful, really wonderful! Such a technique is unheard of!"

He didn't notice that the ghost guard's eyes were rolling around to look at him.

Tang Jie said with a smile: "A little bit of ghost magic that I learned by chance is far worse than brother Ye Ye if I don't reach the level of elegance."

Ye Xiao shook his head repeatedly: "In terms of technique, the production method is unfamiliar, and it is indeed not an expert. But its core secret technique is quite exquisite, and it is definitely a secret technique passed down from a certain ghost sect. It's just that Brother Tang didn't study it in depth and only made a ghost guard with it, which is a pity. If it can be promoted widely, he will definitely become a ghost wizard, which is much better than becoming a barbarian."

When he talked about his obsession, he even despised Tang Jie's status as a physical cultivator.

It was Ice Phoenix who pulled him, and then Ye Xiao woke up and realized that he was facing a soul-level "barbarian", and he could slap him, a thin "ghost wizard", at any time Shoot to death.

Fortunately, Tang Jie knew that many people who practice Taoism were obsessed with him, so he did not intend to slander him, nor did he care about him.

After drawing their attention away from Night Owl and Ghost Road, everyone got back to the topic.

After exchanging greetings for a while, Binghuang said: "I'm here to visit, but I have two things to ask Brother Tang for help with!"

"But it doesn't matter." Tang Jie said.

"First, I want to ask if the ivory and poison glands obtained from the demon king killed that day are still there. We would like to buy these things from Brother Tang."

Due to the cultivation of the Demon King in the late stage of his transformation, all flesh and blood can be said to be treasures, and the details are different for different monsters. For example, the King of Juli, the most precious thing is a pair of tusks, which can be used to refine offensive magic weapons to improve their quality and power. As for the poison glands of the Moon-Swallowing Golden Toad, it is a rare pharmaceutical raw material. That day Tang Jie captured the Second Demon Queen, and I don't know how many people coveted it. They were just afraid of Tang Jie's strength, so no one was blind enough to dare to snatch her.

At that time, Binghuang and others were not familiar with Tang Jie, and they didn't dare to buy him if they didn't know his temperament. After all, there were many cultivators with weird tempers. If they encountered someone difficult to deal with, you might offend him if you asked him to buy something. he.

After staying here for a long time, I saw that Tang Jie was indeed not a difficult person to get along with, and they had some friendship with each other. When this matter was brought up, I believed that Tang Jie would not open his mouth.

Hearing that they wanted it, Tang Jie nodded and said, "They are all here. Since you two want it, just make a price."

He didn't say that he would give it away for free. It's not that he was reluctant to give up the benefit. It's just that the way to get along is not just to be nice to others. Excessive enthusiasm will make people look down upon.

At this moment, the four of them were happy to hear Tang Jie's promise and made a price. The price was quite reasonable, which showed that the four of them were sensible and would not take advantage of others in the name of friends, so Tang Jie nodded in agreement.

After giving the ivory poison gland to Bing Huang and others, Tang Jie asked about the second thing.

Shentu Yuandao: "I heard that for some time, Tang Jie has been looking for a few things, such as Dragon Bone Zhi Ling, and is he willing to pay a big price for it?"

Tang Jie was shocked: "Do you have any news about Dragon Bone Zhiling?"

"That's not the case." Shen Tuyuan said: "But there is news about the Yinku Stone."

Yin withered grass is another rare material that Tang Jie is looking for. This thing is somewhere between reality and reality and is elusive. It is said that it only exists in the River Styx. However, the River Styx is only found in the underworld and cannot be seen in other realms, so it is also extremely rare.

At this moment, when he heard the news about the Yin Ku grass, Tang Jie was also shocked: "Where is it?"

Shentu Yuan has said: "To be precise, it is not the news about Yinkucao, but the Blackwater River."

"Heishui River?" Tang Jie was slightly stunned.

Night Owl has already said: "The Blackwater River is an underground river that comes from the Styx River."

Among the Star Luo Thousand Realms, some realms are relatively special and do not really exist in the endless void. Instead, they exist in another dimensional space in a special form and are related to all realms.

The underworld, the underworld, etc. are such realms, and the most typical and largest one is the Hongmeng realm, which is known as the opposite of the positive realm and the dark side of the realm.

Because of this relationship, although the River Styx only exists in the underworld, it is still possible to appear in any other world. This is why there is still hope to obtain the Yin Ku grass in other worlds.

According to Ye Xiao, the Styx River once appeared in the Qingyun Realm, and its tributary in the Qingyun Realm is called the Black Water River. Since the Blackwater River is an underground river of the Styx, it is naturally very likely to find the Yin withered Grass.

"Where is the Blackwater River?" Tang Jie asked.

Shen Tuyuan and others had smiles of victory on their faces before they spoke.

It turns out that there is an abyss under a mountain corner a hundred miles away from Dongjin Pass, called Yunmo Abyss. At the bottom of Yunmo Abyss is the entrance to the Styx River. Every hundred years, the Styx Channel will open and the Blackwater River will flow out. But at the same time, a monster will appear in the Blackwater River, called the Blackwater Demonic Snake.

"Black water demon snake?" Tang Jie was stunned.

He heard that this kind of thing was an extremely ferocious monster that lived in waters with extremely heavy Yin energy for many years. Once attacked, it would not stop until it was attacked. But the most important thing is that this thing is a companion species of another rare thing, the black epiphyllum. Where there are black epiphyllums, there must be black water snakes. The black epiphyllum is a rare flower in the world. It blooms once every hundred years and only blooms for an hour each time.

If someone can pick this flower at this time, it will have the effect of participating in creation and bringing the flesh and bones of the living dead to life.

When he thought of the Black Epiphyllum, Tang Jie knew what the four of them wanted to do, and said, "Do you want the Black Epiphyllum?"

Binghuang covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I can't hide it from Brother Tang after all. It is said that the black epiphyllum was planted by a certain powerful person in the human race. Yunmoyuan blooms once every hundred years, and the black epiphyllum appears once every hundred years, reflecting each other in the distance. All are due to the great power of the human race. Therefore, I, the human race, can pick black epiphyllums once every hundred years. In the past, the black epiphyllums were taken by Fengshan Kingdom, and we and other little people never had this opportunity. But since the demon clan has become prosperous and the human race has retreated. , Yunmoyuan is now the territory of the demon clan, so there is no official matter, everyone can take it."

"Does the demon clan know about this?" Tang Jie immediately realized the crux of the problem.

Shen Tuyuan responded: "Over the years, the demon clan has repeatedly invaded and captured countless humans. It is impossible to say that we don't know, but we may not know the specific situation."

"In other words, if we go there, in addition to facing the black water demon snake, we also have to consider the demon clan?" Tang Jie said.

"There are other human races." Ximen Changfeng said: "The treasure of the Black Epiphyllum world, although we all fight together against powerful enemies in front of the demon race, it is hard to say when they will kill each other under the temptation."

Night Owl has said: "So we don't expect Brother Tang to remove the black epiphyllum for us. We only hope to go with Brother Tang. Although there is only one black epiphyllum, its leaves have five petals. It is enough to get one petal. Contentment.”

After understanding what the four of them meant, Tang Jie thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I agree."

The four of them were overjoyed. With Tang Jie as a strong support, their chances of winning the Black Epiphyllum were much greater.

Tang Jie added: "But since this is the case, I also have some requests for help."

"Brother Tang said, as long as we can do it, we will do our best."

Tang Jie said calmly: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Brother Shentu to help me be a puppet."

Originally, they thought Tang Jie had any other embarrassing requests, but upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Tuyuan laughed loudly and said, "What do I mean? I'm just a puppet. It's trivial."

"It's trivial?" Tang Jie smiled: "Is it trivial to use this?"

He threw it casually, and a piece of metal the size of a countertop fell at Shen Tuyuan's feet. It was mica gold.

In addition to making a large ax and a piece of armor from the mica gold essence obtained from the fragments of the royal court, Tang Jie still had a lot left over, which he kept to prepare for making puppets. Unfortunately, I was busy afterwards and never had the chance to hand it over to Wei Tianchong. The most important thing is that Wei Tianchong is not yet strong enough to process mica gold essence. Because the spirituality of mica gold essence cannot exist for a long time, after being extracted by Tang Jie, the little spirituality it had gradually disappeared. It has long been unable to accept the change of form by will, and can only be forcibly changed through external force. This is also the reason why Tang Jie was unable to restore the mica-gold armor after it was deformed by the strong wind.

In the final analysis, it is still just a metal, and only the Emperor's Blade is alive.

"Is this... mica gold?" Looking at the pile of golden objects at his feet, Shen Tuyuan rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief.

After confirming that the large piece of metal in front of him was mica gold, Shen Tuyuan was completely stunned.
