"Marquis, you seem to know something?"
Qin Shujian asked.
Judging from Marquis Beiyun's expression, he seemed to know something that Qin Shujian didn't.
Hearing this.
The depression on Marquis Beiyun's face disappeared, and he said with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter whether you know something or not. As long as Sect Master Qin understands that only by becoming stronger can we resist the great tribulation.
The tribulation of the Demon Abyss mentioned by the Human Emperor is much more terrifying than what you know.
At that time, Heavenly Beings are just ants. Even Immortals … "
At this point.
Marquis Beiyun shook his head and didn't continue.
However, the meaning was already very clear.
Even Immortals …
Qin Shujian's expression was extremely solemn.
He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but he could understand what he meant.
"Could it be that even Immortals can't resist the Demon Abyss?"
"Not necessarily. If there are enough Immortals, they may be able to resist it."
"… It seems that Marquis really knows a lot of things."
Qin Shujian took a deep look at him and didn't dwell on this issue too much.
Since the other party didn't want to talk about it in detail, he didn't want to talk about it.
He would never continue to ask about this kind of method to keep people in suspense to satisfy this perverted hobby.
If he didn't want to talk about it, then so be it.
In Qin Shujian's opinion, any tribulation could be overcome.
The difference was the strength of the tribulation.
In the face of absolute strength, there was no such thing as a tribulation.
If Immortals couldn't resist the Demon Abyss, then they would surpass Immortals.
As long as they had enough life source, everything would be fine.
Seeing Qin Shujian's relaxed expression, Marquis Beiyun asked curiously, "Sect Master Qin, aren't you worried?"
"What's there to worry about?" Qin Shujian looked at him strangely and said, "The reason why the Demon Abyss is a great tribulation is that the Human Race isn't strong enough. If the Human Race is strong enough, there won't be a tribulation.
If Immortals can't resist the Demon Abyss, then we just have to become stronger than Immortals.
As the saying goes, the Dao is endless. How can there be true invincibility? "
"The Dao is endless. What a good saying."
Marquis Beiyun laughed. The more he looked at Qin Shujian, the more he liked him.
In his mind.
"I thought that you were the only one in the human race who had such a view; I didn't think that a mere diviner would have such a view as well.
But it was a pity that the first level of Deva Realm was still too weak.
Before the great tribulation arrives, you still have a chance of breaking through to the Immortal Realm. As for him, the chances are not high.
If you can't even break through to the Immortal Realm, how can you talk about being above the Immortal Realm? "
Hearing this.
Marquis Beiyun's expression remained the same, not revealing anything.
"Marquis Beiyun, when do you plan to leave?"
"The sooner the better, so we don't have to waste time."
"Alright." Qin Shujian nodded.
In any case, now that he was in Zong Yang City, he wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.
This time, he didn't ask for anything in return. He just wanted to return a favor to Marquis Beiyun.
As for Marquis Beiyun …
They didn't talk about remuneration either.
It was not that he did not want to give it, but with Yuan Zong's current foundation, it was really not easy for him to raise the conditions.
Marquis Beiyun could also tell that Qin Shujian wanted to return the favor.
Since that was the case, it was only logical that the matter would be resolved.
Marquis Beiyun suddenly changed the topic and asked, "During this period of time, the Heavenly Array Sect of the Fallen Moon Mansion and Yin Bancheng of the Traceless Sect are all trying to break through to the Celestial Being Realm. Have you heard about this?"
"I know a little about it." Qin Shujian picked up the spiritual tea in front of him and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, their breakthrough has something to do with me."
"Oh?"
Marquis Beiyun looked surprised.
He thought that Qin Shujian would refuse, but he didn't expect that Qin Shujian would admit it so straightforwardly, which made him hold back what he was about to say.
Qin Shujian said, "Marquis, have you heard of the Cultivation Elixir?"
"The Cultivation Elixir that reverses the Innate Realm and allows people to return to their peak?" Marquis Beiyun's eyes flashed, and his expression became solemn.
"Marquis, you are really knowledgeable."
"Do you have the Cultivation Elixir?"
Marquis Beiyun asked.
Qin Shujian said, "This time, I refined a total of four Cultivation Elixirs. I gave two to Fang Xinglan and Yin Bancheng, so I still have two left."
"Two Cultivation Elixirs … You said that you refined the Cultivation Elixir?"
Marquis Beiyun was originally attracted by the name of the Cultivation Elixir, but when he came to his senses, he understood the complete meaning of Qin Shujian's words.
What did he mean?
You are telling me that you are also a powerful Alchemy Grand Master!
To be honest …
This time, Marquis Beiyun was really shocked.
The Cultivation Elixir was a top-grade spirit elixir among the ninth-level elixirs.
Even an ordinary Alchemy Grand Master might not be able to refine it successfully.
Now that Qin Shujian said that he refined the Cultivation Elixir, it indirectly proved that he was also a Alchemy Grand Master.
Marquis Beiyun thought of his identity as an Array Grand Master and a Forging Grand Master.
Marquis Beiyun said in a solemn tone, "A Grand Master of the Three Dao!"
Array Grand Master and Forging Grand Master were still fine.
The two of them were interconnected.
Qin Shujian could become a Grand Master of the Two Dao. At most, he could be said to be extremely talented. Although others were shocked, they could accept it.
However, it was different for a Grand Master of the Three Dao.
Alchemy had nothing to do with the other two Daos.
It was much more difficult to become a Grand Master of the Three Dao than a Grand Master of the Two Dao.
In Marquis Beiyun's memory …
There had been a Grand Master of the Two Dao in the Human Clan.
However, it was rare to see a Grand Master of the Three Dao like Qin Shujian in his life.
Thinking of this …
Marquis Beiyun sighed again and said, "Sect Master Qin is really full of surprises."
"Marquis, you flatter me."
It was rare for Qin Shujian to be modest.
Marquis Beiyun said seriously, "I want to buy a Cultivation Elixir from you. What is the price?"
"100 Spirit Stones."
"Okay!"
Marquis Beiyun was silent for a moment before he nodded in agreement.
A Cultivation Elixir might allow the Marquis Beiyun's mansion to have another Heavenly Being.
In this way, it was naturally not something that a mere 100 Spirit Stones could compare to.
In this regard …
Qin Shujian could only curse in his heart. What a hateful rich man.
Look, this was the attitude of a rich man.
One hundred Spirit Stones. Not only did he not bargain, he did not even hesitate to agree to it.
Then he looked at Fang Xinglan and Yin Bancheng.
When it came to 100 Spirit Stones, they acted as if their parents had died.
After hesitating for a long time, they finally decided to buy it.
Not only that, they had to delay the payment for half a year, which was incomparable to Marquis Beiyun's.
However, from the Storage Rings of Du Chengwu and Shen Hong, it could be seen that the Marquis Beiyun's mansion was really rich.
In Qin Shujian's opinion …
Not to mention 100 Spirit Stones, even if it was 1,000 Spirit Stones, Marquis Beiyun might be able to afford it.
Of course.
Being rich was one thing, but Qin Shujian wouldn't raise the price on the spot.
100 Spirit Stones for a Cultivation Elixir. He would not cheat anyone.
Therefore …
After Marquis Beiyun agreed, Qin Shujian did not hesitate. He directly took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring and handed it over.
"The Cultivation Elixir is in the bottle."
"100 Spirit Stones."
Marquis Beiyun took the bottle and then waved his hand. 100 Spirit Stones appeared on the table.
Boom!!
The moment the Spirit Stones appeared, a strong burst of spirit energy erupted.
Qin Shujian did not count them. He directly put the 100 Spirit Stones into his Storage Ring.
However, when he used his Storage Ring.
There was a strange light in Marquis Beiyun's eyes.
"Du Chengwu's Storage Ring."
Thinking that Du Chengwu had also died in the hands of the other party, he was not too curious.
After the simple transaction.
Marquis Beiyun said, "Sect Master Qin, you must be tired from the long journey today. You can rest in the Marquis's Mansion for the night. Tomorrow, you and I will set off together to kill evil devils. If you need anything else, just let me know.
There is nothing else in the mansion, but there are still some resources and materials. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Marquis. I have already made preparations."
"That's good."
Marquis Beiyun did not say too much.
Then he called the servants and settled Qin Shujian down.
Late at night.
In the study.
Xiao Hong pushed the door open and entered. He bowed and said, "Marquis!"
Marquis Beiyun looked at the graying hair on his temples and suddenly felt emotional. He asked, "How many years has Uncle Xiao been in my Marquis Manor?"
Xiao Hong called him Uncle Xiao.
It made Xiao Hong feel as if he had returned to hundreds of years ago.
But soon.
He came back to his senses and said with a strange tone, "This old servant has already been in the marquis' estate for two thousand four hundred years."
"Two thousand four hundred years!"
Marquis Beiyun sighed with emotion.
The lifespan of a great cultivator in the God Martial Arts Realm was no more than 3,000 years.
After two thousand four hundred years, the other party was already on the verge of passing away in a seated posture.
Thinking of this.
Marquis Beiyun had mixed feelings.
Then he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Xiao Hong. "There is a Cultivation Elixir inside. Taking it can reverse the congenital state and restore you to your peak state.
With your current realm, if you take the Cultivation Elixir, the probability of breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm is at least 60% to 70%. "
"Cultivation Elixir!"
Xiao Hong was shocked. He looked at the jade bottle in his hand and said helplessly, "Marquis, how can I let you waste such a precious treasure?"
It was the first time he had heard of the Cultivation Elixir.
But from Marquis Beiyun, he knew how heaven-defying the effect of this elixir was.
Correspondingly, its value was immeasurable.
Marquis Beiyun said, "You have been a servant in my mansion for 2,400 years. You deserve a Cultivation Elixir. If you break through to the Celestial Being Realm, it will also increase the strength of my mansion.
Now that you have the elixir, it will be a waste if you don't use it.
Now, except for you, no one in the mansion is qualified to take the Cultivation Elixir. "
"Thank you for your reward, Marquis. If I break through to the Celestial Being Realm, I will sacrifice my life for the mansion for generations to come!"
Xiao Hong clenched the jade bottle and bowed deeply.
In response.
Marquis Beiyun did not stop him.
After Xiao Hong finished bowing, he said, "Uncle Xiao, don't be in a hurry to take the Cultivation Elixir. When everything is ready, take the elixir and break through in one go. The probability of success will be higher."
"I understand," Xiao Hong nodded and said.
He was not willing to waste the opportunity to break through to the Celestial Being Realm.
Silence.
Xiao Hong seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Fang Xinglan of the Heavenly Array Sect and Yin Bancheng of the Traceless Sect are both breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm at about the same time. Did they also take the Cultivation Elixir?"
"Yes."
"Sure enough!"
Xiao Hong was shocked.
He originally thought that there must be some connection between the two's breakthroughs.
Or else …
They were about the same age as him and both had one foot in the grave. How could they break through to the Celestial Being Realm at the same time?
After knowing that they had taken the Cultivation Elixir, it made sense.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hong could not help but ask, "Marquis, who made this Cultivation Elixir? Is it from the Yuan Sect?"
"Qin Shujian refined it."
Marquis Beiyun said lightly.
Xiao Hong's pupils suddenly shrank and he exclaimed, "Qin Shujian can refine the Cultivation Elixir. Is he an Alchemy Grand Master?"
Xiao Hong would not believe that someone who could refine such an elixir was not an Alchemy Grand Master.
If Qin Shujian was also an Alchemy Grand Master.
Then he could be called a Grand Master of three Daos.
"A Grand Master of three Daos is good. Now that the great tribulation is coming, the stronger our Human Clan is, the better. In comparison, an Alchemy Grand Master is much more important than the other two Daos."
Marquis Beiyun said.
Hearing this.
Xiao Hong also understood what he meant.
The elixir refined by an Alchemy Grand Master could enhance the overall strength of the Human Clan.
Not to mention the distant.
The Cultivation Elixir alone could allow the Human Clan to have many more Celestial Beings.
After all.
The Human Clan only lacked Celestial Beings, but they did not lack Divine Martial Arts Realm cultivators, let alone people like him who were stuck at the peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm.
Once the Cultivation Elixir came out.
It would definitely cause a great uproar.
At that time, if these people had a Cultivation Elixir in their hands, the number of Celestial Beings in the Human Clan would at least be several times greater than the current number.
"However, I'm afraid that refining such an elixir requires the right time, place, and people. It's not that easy to refine it," Xiao Hong said with some regret.
Marquis Beiyun said, "It doesn't matter how low the success rate is. As long as it succeeds, our Human Clan will have a chance to give birth to a Celestial Being. There are Alchemy Grand Masters in the world, but only Qin Shujian can refine the Cultivation Elixir."
His words showed how much importance he had for Qin Shujian.
The two of them chatted for a long time.
In the end, Xiao Hong put away the Cultivation Elixir, bowed, and left.
The next day.
Qin Shujian got up early in the morning. The servants of the Marquis' mansion were waiting outside the door.
When he opened the door of the room.
These people had already brought in the things for washing up.
After a simple wash.
Qin Shujian did not eat the prepared breakfast and went directly to find Marquis Beiyun.
At this moment, Marquis Beiyun happened to be in the living room.
"Marquis, do you want to set off now?"
"Yes, let's go."
—
In Marquis Beiyun's mansion, two streams of light shot into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they broke through the Forbidden Sky Array of Zong Yang City and flew toward the sky.
As the master of Zong Yang City, the Forbidden Sky Array in the city naturally could not stop Marquis Beiyun.
As for Qin Shujian, he was an expert at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm.
Ordinary formations wouldn't be able to stop him.
Neither of them had the intention to use the Teleportation Gate to travel.
After breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm, they could cross hundreds of miles in a breath.
Although the Teleportation Gate was faster, it was not as convenient as traveling by themselves.
In order to take care of Qin Shujian, Marquis Beiyun even deliberately slowed down his speed.
Or else …
With the speed of an Almighty, he could already shake off Qin Shujian at this moment.
This was not something that could be made up for by a simple step technique.
How could an expert who could reach the Almighty level be a simple person?
Boom!
Two streams of light broke through the sky like shooting stars. In the blink of an eye, they streaked across the sky like meteors.
Some people who saw the streams of light did not even have time to take a second look before they lost track of the two of them.
An hour passed.
A huge fortress had already appeared in their sight.
Inside the fortress.
The condensed killing intent soared into the sky, and no birds dared to approach within a radius of ten miles.
Even though they had not completely entered the fortress, Qin Shujian was also a little surprised by this killing intent.
"What a powerful killing intent!"
Marquis Beiyun did not say much. Instead, he led Qin Shujian toward the fortress wall.
"Who is it?"
"Stop!"
The sudden turn of events alarmed the garrison on top of the stronghold.
Just as the garrison was about to send out the signal to invade, a general recognized Marquis Beiyun and immediately stopped him. "This is Marquis Beiyun. Everyone, don't act rashly."
As soon as he finished speaking.
He took a step forward and said, "Greetings, Marquis Beiyun."
Although his words were respectful, he didn't bow in salute.
A pair of tiger-like eyes fell on the two of them, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Marquis Beiyun threw a token over and said, "This is my identity token."
The general reached out and took it. After examining it carefully, his expression suddenly became respectful. He took a step forward and handed the token back with both hands. Then, he returned to his original position and bowed.
"Greetings, Marquis Beiyun!"
"Greetings, Marquis Beiyun!"
The soldiers on the city walls also bowed respectfully.
"You may dispense with the formalities!" Marquis Beiyun said.
The general straightened up and asked doubtfully, "Marquis, what brings you to the fortress this time?"
"I'm here to solve the hidden danger of the demons. Now, pass down my order. All the troops in the fortress will withdraw in 15 minutes."
"Yes!"
The general accepted the order respectfully.
Subsequently.
The garrison of the entire fortress began to move.
Black armor.
Black spears.
The silver-white tip of the spear flickered with a frightening cold light.
From the gathering of the army to the withdrawal of the army, there was no noise during the process. It was so quiet that it was frightening.
Qin Shujian sighed and said, "What an elite army!"
"The demon seal of the Spiritual Realm and the Grand Domain is extraordinary. The ones guarding it are the true elites of the imperial court. Ten thousand of these elites can fight against a Celestial Being, a hundred thousand can fight against a Saint, and a million can fight against a mighty figure.
When the Human Emperor fought in all directions and forced many experts of the Demon Clan to retreat, these elite troops contributed a lot. "
Marquis Beiyun explained as he watched the army withdraw.
Ten thousand against a Celestial Being!
A hundred thousand against a Saint!
A million against a mighty figure!
Hearing this, Qin Shujian's pupils contracted.
A mighty figure was the top expert of the Human Clan.
A million-strong elite army like this would be able to match a mighty expert.
He had overestimated these soldiers, but he did not expect that he had underestimated them in the end.
Qin Shujian took a deep breath and asked, "How many of these troops are there in the fortress now?"
"A hundred thousand!" Marquis Beiyun looked at the soldiers below with his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile, "A hundred thousand people formed an army. Even a third-tier Celestial Being can be killed on the spot."
This was the reason why the Spiritual Realm and the Grand Domain Fortress had never been breached.
A hundred thousand soldiers could kill a third-tier Celestial Being.
Anyone who wanted to enter the fortress had to weigh their own strength and see if they could contend with such a force.
If they could not.
Then they would go back to where they came from.
"It will probably take a lot of energy to train such elites!"
Qin Shujian sighed.
A hundred thousand soldiers could kill a third-tier Celestial Being, which also meant that if he did not use his cultivation in formation, he would not be a match for them.
Such strength was naturally terrifying.
However, it was definitely not an easy task to train such elite soldiers.
Or else …
The Great Zhao only needed to train a few million of such elite troops, and it would be enough to sweep the world. The Demon Clan and the rebels would have long been reduced to ashes.
Marquis Beiyun said, "Training such elites is naturally extremely difficult. To be honest, it is not much worse than training a Celestial Being."
Just as the two of them were talking.
The hundred thousand soldiers had withdrawn.
The killing intent that had condensed in the sky above the fortress had also dissipated at this time.
Marquis Beiyun took a step forward and left the city wall, heading toward the depths of the fortress.
The moment Marquis Beiyun moved, Qin Shujian also followed closely behind.
Soon.
A huge sealing altar appeared in their line of sight.
The sealing altar of the Octagonal Starlight Formation.
It proved that the strength of the demon sealed inside was at least at the fourth-tier or fifth-tier Celestial Being.
"Sect Master Qin, set up the formation first." At this time, Marquis Beiyun's expression became solemn.
Killing the demon.
The biggest trouble was that if the demon escaped, it would cause a monstrous disaster.
Once an unsuppressed Celestial Being demon went on a killing spree, it would be a situation of misery and suffering.
When Marquis Beiyun's voice fell, Qin Shujian's mind moved, and many formation patterns appeared, forming a large formation that covered the entire fortress.
The next moment.
A tiny golden lotus flew through the air and quietly fell into the formation.
Buzz!
Invisible fluctuations spread out, and the entire formation completely solidified, turning into an unbreakable cage.
After doing all this.
Qin Shujian said, "The formation has been completed. Unless an almighty figure makes a move, it's impossible to break the formation."
"Okay!"
Marquis Beiyun also wanted to know if Qin Shujian's words were true or false. He only saw Qin Shujian strike out with his palm, and a terrifying force instantly erupted, bombarding the sealing altar of the Octagonal Starlight Formation.
The formation that was personally set up by a Formation Grandmaster shattered with a bang in the face of this force.
The moment the formation shattered.
Monstrous demonic Qi surged out, and a huge demon walked out of the seal. Its body was thousands of feet tall, like a huge mountain, and it gave off an endless sense of impact.
However, when the demon broke out of the seal and came out.
No lightning condensed in the sky.
This was because Qin Shujian's formation directly isolated the phenomenon of the demon's appearance.
"I'm finally out!"
The thousand-feet demon roared toward the sky, and monstrous demonic Qi swept out in all directions.
Qin Shujian directly retreated to the side, then looked at it with his Dharma Eye. The demon's attributes also appeared in his sight.
Fifth-tier Celestial Being!
And it was not seriously injured.
In other words, the demon in front of him was a terrifying existence whose strength had reached the fifth-tier Celestial Being in its peak state.
