The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting with Gu Refining

Qingyunzi had no time to pay attention to Zhen Shanren. He closed his eyes slightly and moved his right index finger, groping quickly along the tortoise shell lines.

There was no drop of sweat on his forehead before, but now drops of sweat rolled down.

Another stick of incense passed by, and he suddenly glared and shouted: Are you sure that person is from the second realm?

He followed Zhen Shanren's causal calculation and deduced the traces of the man named Liu Feng. He calculated that Zhen Shanren's trip to Jinghu Lake was normal, but as soon as he came to the junior, he seemed to have fallen into a fog.

There was a figure vaguely emerging from the depths of the fog, but it was so close that it was thousands of miles away, making it impossible for him to capture its specific location.

If he is not in the second realm, I will use this half of my body to make elixirs for you. Zhen Shanren, who was in the bulging bag, responded.

Hearing Zhen Shanren's confident tone, Qing Yunzi's old face was full of confusion under his messy hair.

He muttered and pulled off the tattered shirt on his upper body.

Shi Yuehan, who was huddled aside, looked up and saw a cyan Bagua diagram engraved on the old man's greasy and dirty upper body.

The next moment, under the strange looks of passers-by, this old beggar covered in shit stood up, stamped his feet on the ground like crazy, and slapped himself with both palms.

The ordinary people in the county laughed at him, but Qingyunzi didn't care at all.

The true energy in his body was flowing along the Bagua chart, and his eyes were empty, staring straight ahead, as if this place was no longer a street under the scorching sun, but deep in the vast mist.

It's close, it's close...

Zhen Shanren was overjoyed when he heard the murmur from the old beggar's mouth, but something strange happened immediately.

Pfft... A mouthful of black blood fell to the ground.

Qingyunzi suddenly fell to the ground, as if his body was burned by fire, with scorch marks appearing on his body.

Trembling all over, he quickly took out a jade bottle from his pocket and poured the elixir in the bottle into his mouth.

Shi Yuehan was shocked to find that not only was this senior's body scorched, but his eyelids were also as black as charcoal.

Zhen Shanren, are you kidding me? My eyes will be blind for at least half a year. Qingyunzi's eyes were red, tears flowed out involuntarily, and her vision became blurred.

I...have I ever played tricks on you? If you are ill, it is all my fault.

Shi Yuehan's clothes were turned up at the back, and half of his head with all white hair stuck out. His face was haggard, like a dead person buried in the ground.

Zhen Shanren stared at Qing Yunzi and was startled when he saw Qing Yunzi's eyes that were almost burned out, and he turned back with a guilty conscience.

Qingyunzi snorted coldly and said: I can't calculate the traces of that junior, and I can't predict his future, but you and his cause and effect are intertwined, so I gave you a divination by the way.

Give me a divination? Please tell me. Zhen Shanren said.

Anyway, if you don’t charge him for this hexagram, it will be for nothing if you don’t listen.

Within a year, you will definitely die, and it has something to do with the person you want to settle. After Qingyunzi said this, he shut up, turned his back and lay in the shadow of the corner again.

I'm going to die within a year? Are you trying to trick me? A junior from the second realm, he tried to touch me, but even the old demon from the fifth realm couldn't kill me...

Zhen Shanren's tone was startled and suspicious, and there was obviously some guilt.

Just as he was thinking about the possibility of disaster for himself, Qingyunzi, who had his back turned to this side, added a sentence.

Little girl, if you don't stay away from your master, you will also be robbed.

Yuehan, don't listen to his instigation, let's go. Zhen Shanren became more and more panicked as he listened, and urged him quickly.

Shi Yuehan's face was pale under his long hair, and his stooped body was as trembling as an old man's.

She didn't have no strength, she was frightened!

Carrying Zhen Shanren on his back, Shi Yuehan had to get up and leave. After taking a few steps, Qing Yunzi's voice came from behind again.

Zhen Shanren, when you lose your life, I will find your body to make elixirs to make up for today's loss of money.

You still want to collect my body for me! You are daydreaming. Zhen Shanren was furious and almost cursed.

However, he shouted fiercely, but in fact he was uneasy inside.

He had calculated calculations with Qingyunzi more than once, and this was the first time he had an accident. The other party calculated that he would be killed and wanted to collect his body, which was probably not a lie.

Leaving the old beggar behind, the master and apprentice quickly left the county.

When they arrived in the forest outside the city, the ground in front of Shi Yuehan stirred, and a black insect body broke out of the ground. It was a third-grade wild Gu.

Don't listen to that beggar's nonsense. Let's go to the borderland and stay for a year. I don't believe that we can still suffer disaster if we hide in the corner.

It all depends on the master. Shi Yuehan walked into the space inside the barbarian Gu, trembling all over.

With a muffled sound, the soil stirred, and the wild Gu disappeared into the ground in a blink of an eye.

…

Longzhou, Changping Prefecture, ten miles outside the Sui Emperor's capital.

On the official road made of large black stones, two carriages passed quickly one after the other.

At this moment, whether it was the martial artist driving the car or the people in the car, the fourteen people all looked horrified and looked towards the direction of the imperial capital.

Then in the car behind, a child sat motionless, his face turned pale, it was Zhou Wan.

I need to find someone to remove the death talisman from my body as soon as possible. This lackey can't stay! She made up her mind. As long as her life was not taken, she would be willing to bear any price in order to remove the death talisman from her body.

In the field of vision, the huge Sui Capital City looks like it has fallen into the underworld and is lifeless from a distance.

Dark clouds were rolling over the capital city, and in the center of the rolling dark clouds, there was a long shadow wandering in the sky, and the sound of mourning echoed in all directions.

Look at the location of the long shadow, just above the palace.

When Zhou Wan looked back, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

On the way back, I encountered many demonic cultivators, and even though the people from the Tianxian Division were cleaning up everywhere, it was difficult to completely eliminate them.

She even had some suspicions that there might be some demonic cultivators sneaking into Dasei Capital. When things got to this point, there must be something big going on in Daliang.

The demon cultivators are dispatched in large numbers, which is almost like falling out. If this is the case, the Liang Kingdom's army may not be far away next.

The Great Sui State was stronger than its two neighboring countries, but it was far from being able to crush it. Even after ten years of fighting against the Yu State, it did not gain much benefit.

If Liang and Yu join forces, Dasui will inevitably fall into a disadvantage, and the people in this country will have a more difficult life.

Old Xu, could it be that the demon cultivator came to the imperial capital? Zhou Wan asked Xu Siye beside him.

Xu Mao turned to glance at Zhou Sichen, ignored her, and turned to the two Taoist priests in the carriage.

At this moment, these two colleagues who were born in Taoist sects held talismans in their hands, their eyes were dim and their expressions were extremely ugly.

Gan Siye, Zhu Siye, tell me, I'm a martial artist and I don't see much depth. Xu Siye said in a deep voice.

Taoist priest Qian threw away the remaining talisman in his hand, swallowed, and looked at the staring Zhou Sichen again, with a bitter look on his face.

It's not the means of demon cultivation, nor the power of the formation, but the demonic energy... There is a monster at the top level of the fourth realm in the palace, and it is a dragon.

Belonging to the dragon! Several people in the carriage looked at each other, and Xu Siye's teeth were chattering.

Si Ye, who had been in Qin Tian Prison for many years, knew much more about Da Sui than his colleagues present.

There are many powerful people in the palace, and half of the four realms of the Suiguan family either serve in the palace or guard near the palace.

On top of the Four Realms, there are at least two Five Realms who sit in the imperial capital, because Jian Zheng and the Imperial Master of Qin Tianjian are the Five Realms.

In addition, within the Supervision Department, Zuolong Department, and Tianxian Department, there are rumors that there are five realms.

With such powerful forces gathered together, how could any monster dare to cause trouble? Not to mention the top four realms, even if he comes to the real fifth realm, he will not be able to escape.

After all, the Sui Dynasty has been in power for more than 800 years, and the formation under the palace is not something to be trifled with.

From this point of view, the top four-level monster belonging to the dragon family is not an outsider, but an extremely noble person in the palace.

Who else could it be, even if he transformed into a monster and had the ability to cultivate to the top four levels? It could only be the dying old emperor.

Zhou Wan is a smart person. She had already made some assumptions, but now when she saw Lao Xu's face, she was mostly convinced.

The one who doesn't want to be buried will continue like Master Shui Jing...

The people in the car suddenly changed their faces, and then one big hand pressed down on Zhou Sichen's face and blocked his mouth.

Even the reckless man driving the car, Lu Wufu, trembled when he heard Zhou Wan's words.

You want to kill us? This strange Gu of yours needs to accumulate vitality. If it becomes smaller, it will affect the brain. Please make it bigger for me quickly. I, I will give you the elixir to replenish vitality.

Xu Siye wanted to tear this woman's mouth to pieces. With a flick of his sleeve, a jade bottle fell out and he stuffed it into Zhou Wan's hand.

If this woman wasn't related to Mr. Si, the head of Qintian Supervisor, he would have killed her on the way.

Being gagged by several colleagues, Zhou Wan also felt that something was not good. After putting away the jade bottle, her body was like a swollen water ball, and she changed into an adult posture in the blink of an eye.

The childish look on her face turned into that of a woman in her mid-twenties, and her expression became calm.

Seeing this, these people breathed a sigh of relief, and then they dared to stop and let go of Zhou Sichen's foul mouth.

Although there was no one near the official road where they were, don't forget that this place is close to the imperial capital, and there might be people from the Tianxian Division hiding there.

Dare to bite the emperor's tongue behind his back, which is a crime of great disrespect. If you really want to pursue it, you may drag them to behead the capital.

Don't worry, I'm not ignorant. Zhou Wan glanced at the pale faces of several colleagues and waved her hands.

When she said this, no one believed her, they all sneered.

Zhou Wan smiled, said nothing more, and turned her attention to the imperial capital again.

The carriage was speeding, and the long shadow in the center of the clouds became clearer and clearer.

If it is true that the old emperor wants to renew his life, it is definitely not a matter of the past few years. It has probably been planned for many years.

The reason why the commotion is happening now is because it has recently reached a critical moment.

The top four realms, and further up to the fifth realm, are the levels recorded in the classics that touch the true spirit.

Once the old emperor becomes a fifth-level monster, he will most likely be a half-demon body belonging to the dragon family, and most of it will be made up of demon blood.

If not, it will be difficult to survive with the old and dying human body.

However, the Da Sui royal family has ancestral training, and the royal bloodline can only practice martial arts, and cannot enter other ways of cultivation.

The current princes were all strong in martial arts, and several of them personally led troops to fight Yu State on the battlefield, which seemed to confirm this rumor.

The emperor has violated the ancestral precepts, and I don't know if something will happen to him. If something happens to him alone, it may affect millions of people...

Zhou Wan could not imagine where Da Sui would go if a monster became the emperor in the future.

While thinking, she looked around.

There are other folk roads on the left and right sides of the official road. This place is not far from the capital. In the past, it must have been bustling with people walking around, but now there are not many people in sight.

drive……

Drive, drive... At this moment, horses galloped wildly in the back of the field of vision, and a large group of figures in red robes of feathered serpents approached.

Among the more than fifty riders, three chariots each had magic weapon seals, and no breath could be revealed from the objects in the chariots.

Just looking at the figures in red robes, they all looked like they were coming back bathed in blood, with evil eyes and swords in their sheaths. They must have come back from a fierce battle.

Zoryuji has been ordered to return to the court, and anyone who stands in the way will be killed. The leading middle-aged warrior shouted loudly.

The horse under him was covered with scales, and there were flames spitting out from its mouth and nose. It turned out to be a three-level spirit monster.

In the two carriages in front, Zhou Wan and others were shocked when they heard the sound. They and their carriages hurriedly retreated to the edge of the official road to make way for Zuo Longsi's people.

They had no doubt that with the emperor's orders, these people really dared to kill people from Qintian Prison.

More than fifty riders galloped past. When the two sides passed each other, among the fourteen people on the Qintian Prison side, the Taoist priests on the two cars stared at each other at the same time.

On top of the three chariots, the oilcloth-like sealing instruments bulged one after another. The sealed objects were obviously restless, trying to break through the seal and come out.

When a group of figures in red robes went away, in the car behind them, the Taoist priest surnamed Qian spoke in a low voice: The aura on their bodies comes from the blood of Tai Sui! The Xu Tai Sui meat sealed inside the car is.

He couldn't see through the seal, but he could catch the scent of the people of Zuolongsi, which was the scent of the blood Taisui recorded in the classics.

Blood Tai Sui? Zhou Wan was startled when he heard this.

If she remembered correctly, there was content about Blood Tai Sui in the department's classics. She had seen some fragments of it when she checked the classics last time.

There is no first or second grade Blood Tai Sui. The last one is the third grade. It is impossible for people to live or die, but flesh and white bones can really do it.

There are probably not many such rare treasures in the entire Da Sui territory. People often hear that a blood Tai Sui was born in a certain place only for tens or hundreds of years.

Every time Xue Tai Sui is discovered, many parties will fight for it.

They were ordered to go out to find supplements for the old emperor! There should be many people from other departments going out to look for treasures. Zhou Wan speculated in her heart and couldn't help but feel envious.

He is worthy of being an emperor who holds the power of a single dynasty. If he wants to find all the rare treasures in the world, he will always find a way to get them.

Those who are destined to get it will get it. This is nonsense in the eyes of the emperor. Even if the destined person gets the opportunity, he will snatch it from you.

After a while, a group of fourteen people drove into the capital.

Overcast clouds cover the sky, and on the long street, 99% of the doors of large and small households, shops, and restaurants are closed.

In every street and alley, sergeants can be seen patrolling back and forth.

The tourists from the Xuntian Siri, who rarely appeared on weekdays, spotted seven of them at a glance.

Lao Lu, hurry up, let's go back to the company first. Xu Siye said in a heavy tone.

Once inside the capital, even warriors who do not know the secret arts can clearly see the strange phenomena in the sky above the palace.

That location was exactly where the palace's bedroom was. When the distance was closer, one could see with the naked eye a thin red light rising into the sky, just in time to connect with the long shadow wandering in the dark clouds.
