The Space Ring of the Howling Lunar Hound was filled to the brim, so Mengqi could only take out a few items at a time.
The first item that appeared in his palm was a life-like White Lotus. There were seven grades of it, and it was fresh and fresh. Just the touch of it was enough to make one feel refreshed.
"This is a secret treasure that can defend against Vital Spirit attacks. It's at least a Fourth-fold Heaven grade." Jiang Zhiwei had seen similar items when she was choosing secret treasures in the sect, so she recognized it at a glance.
"This is good stuff." Mengqi was delighted.
His current Eight Nine Mysteries was still lacking in the face of Heavenly Knowing such as "Hum and Ha". This secret treasure could make up for this shortcoming and reduce the danger of the Apotheosized Task.
Along with the White Lotus Seat of the Seventh Grade were four exotic minerals and produce, including a piece of silvery-white "Moon Shattering Gold". They seemed to be used by the Howling Lunar Hound for cultivation and were useless to Mengqi, so he could only exchange them or convert them into Karma points.
Mengqi took out another portion. There were seven or eight stalks of spirit herbs and exotic flowers. After a brief identification, he and Jiang Zhiwei recognized a few of them.
"These are the supplementary ingredients for refining the Immortality Elixir of East Pole!" Mengqi was pleasantly surprised.
It had been some time since Meng Qi had obtained the recipe of the Immortality Elixir of East Pole and its main ingredient, the Qinghua Fruit. However, since the supplementary ingredients were relatively expensive and he and his friends were in the prime of their lives, they had no need to prolong their lives. Thus, he had put the matter of refining the elixir on hold. Now that he had obtained most of the supplementary ingredients and spent a thousand Karma points to exchange for the remaining ingredients, it seemed that he could almost see the birth of a furnace of Immortality Elixir!
The current Exterior masters could only live for two to three sixty-year cycles. The Immortality Elixir of East Pole could directly extend one's lifespan by sixty years. It was an irresistible temptation for most of the old and even the Exterior masters. Such items were often priceless!
Even if Mengqi did not use it himself, he could still exchange it for various items he needed. It would definitely be a huge profit!
In his surprise, Mengqi calculated the value of the rare exotic minerals and produce he needed to condense the remaining Aperture acupoints. He realized that as long as the Plenitude Sect and Mohism Palace trade for the exotic minerals and produce the Immortality Elixir of East Pole and the spoils of war, he would have enough. If he could exchange it from outside the Dominator, he could even save some!
Jiang Zhiwei and her master, Su Wuming, were still young, so they had no desire for the Immortality Elixir of East Pole. She smiled as she watched Meng Qi put away the herbs.
"Huh …" Meng Qi's expression changed when he saw what was left in the Space Ring.
This was a corpse that had been torn into many pieces. Its aura was exuberant, and every drop of blood, every inch of skin, and every inch of muscle seemed to contain explosive power.
"Tribe!"
"Tribe!"
Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei both spoke in a heavy tone.
Both Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei spoke in a heavy tone.
Jiang Zhi Wei took a deep breath and said, "It's stained with the breath of the Demon Clan. It should be taken as food."
"Yes, Thunder God from the Ninth Heaven joined forces with a dog demon." Mengqi's mood worsened. He felt resentment and hatred for the demon race.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had encountered a similar scene on his way to the Immortals. There were also Exterior masters killed and turned into bloody remains!
"Could it be the demon race?"
Jiang Zhiwei said, "The appearance of the Primary Instruction of the Buddha's Palm has attracted many Exterior masters. The Heavenly Sea Source and other demon lands are often in the West Regions. Perhaps they want to take advantage of the situation."
As for the dog demon, it was most likely a member of the Myths.
There was only half of the corpse left and it was naked. It had been dismembered and stuffed into the Space Ring, so neither Jiang Zhiwei nor Mengqi could identify it.
To prevent "him" from falling into the mouth of the demon race, Mengqi's left hand burned the corpse to ashes.
After cleaning up, Mengqi was about to bid farewell to Jiang Zhiwei when he suddenly frowned and muttered to himself.
"Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhiwei was puzzled.
Mengqi pointed at his Space Ring. "The dog demon didn't have any healing elixirs, only a Karmic Fruit."
The Karmic Fruit was an ingredient for healing elixirs. Consuming it directly would only bring out half of its effect. If the dog demon was a member of the Myths, backed by a big organization, and had plenty of exotic minerals and herbs, it should have prepared some elixirs!
Meng Qi looked at the long bronze stick he had put away earlier. It belonged to the dog demon and was a Precious Weapon, but it was obviously crude and lacked polishing.
As a Samsara traveler, Jiang Zhiwei understood Mengqi's meaning immediately. She pondered and said, "Well, its relationship with the Myths is worth thinking about."
After discussing with Jiang Zhiwei for a while, they bid farewell to each other. One returned with the elders of the sect, and the other went to the agreed place to meet Jiuniang.
…
Yellow sand and black stones swept the weathered rocks, obscuring the senses of those flying in the air.
When Mengqi arrived, Qu Jiuniang was already waiting there. She was dressed in a black dress, which made her snow-white skin look even more beautiful.
She was pacing back and forth, looking a little anxious. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, as if she was looking forward to the next action.
When she sensed Mengqi approaching, she suddenly turned around and said impatiently, "There are only Exterior experts in the Avocado Fish Sea. I can't find the whereabouts of the lascivious monk."
She and Drunkard Xie used to build an intelligence network in the Western Region, which relied on people below the Exterior level. Now, they suddenly became blind and deaf!
Mengqi shook his head and said, "There's no hurry. I have something important to discuss with the Primogenitor."
"No hurry …" Qu Jiuniang was a little stunned, and there was a hint of disappointment in her expression.
But she was not a person who did not know what was important. She then asked in a low voice, "Is it very important?"
"Very important." Mengqi nodded affirmatively.
Qu Jiuniang was like a punctured water balloon. She became listless and said, "Well, let's go back to the Azure Heaven. If the Primogenitor is not there, let's burn his talisman and let him return as soon as possible."
"That's good." Before, Mengqi was worried that he would have to spend a lot of effort to find the Primogenitor Lingbao. But now it seemed that as an old organization, the Immortals had sufficient financial resources and all kinds of emergency measures.
As soon as they entered the Azure Heaven, the indifferent and lofty voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms suddenly rang in Mengqi's ears.
"The Plenitude Gate has been discovered. To ensure secrecy, it will be temporarily sealed until we leave."
"This …" Mengqi raised his eyebrows. The Dominator was really watertight!
As expected, the Primogenitor Lingbao did not return. Qu Jiuniang immediately fetched a talisman and sent a message. Mengqi flew to the Immortal-tracking Alley to identify his gains: from Thunder God from the Ninth Heaven, Howling Lunar Hound, and Blessing-endowed Heavenly Official.
He first circled around the Immortal-tracking Alley and found the trading details and exotic minerals and produce stored by Qu Jiuniang. He nodded with satisfaction. Although Qu Jiuniang was greedy, she was not an irrational person who could not resist temptation.
Flying to the Central Jade Pillar, Mengqi took out his trophies and asked to identify them one by one.
"Purple Lightning Blade, Precious Weapon (Middle Grade) … Worth 4,700 Karma points, can be exchanged for 2,500 Karma points."
"Primordial Gold Rod, Precious Weapon (Lower Grade) … Due to rough craftsmanship, its grade has been lowered. Worth 2,800 Karma points, can be exchanged for 1,500 Karma points."
"Yin Thunder of Gui Water, Exterior Secret Treasure (Fifth-fold Heaven). Once hit, it will be like maggots in one's bones, difficult to get rid of. Tens of thousands of thunders will chain and destroy the body and soul. Worth 5,000 Karma points, can be exchanged for 2,800 Karma points."
"White Lotus Seat of the Seventh Order, Exterior Secret Treasure (Fifth-fold Heaven). When the flower blooms, I see the person. It protects the Vital Spirit from being attacked. Worth 5,200 Karma points, can be exchanged for 3,000 Karma points."
"Bhaisajyaguru Pill, Elixir, secret medicine for healing wounds. Good at nourishing the Vital Spirit. Most injuries can be healed in an hour. Worth 4,000 Karma points, can be exchanged for 3,000 Karma points."
"Purple Qi Bead of Fortune, Exterior Secret Treasure (Second-fold Heaven). Able to increase one's fortune and speed up the condensation of the Blessing Qi. Worth 2,400 Karma points, can be exchanged for 1,300 Karma points."
"Blessed Heavenly Blade, Precious Weapon (Low-grade). Able to increase one's fortune and dispel one's fortune. Worth 2,600 Karma points, can be exchanged for 1,500 Karma points."
Apart from exotic minerals and produce, all of Mengqi's spoils had been appraised. What surprised him was the Bhaisajyaguru Pill and the two treasures of Blessing-endowed Heavenly Official Zhou Qiushan.
The healing ability of the Bhaisajyaguru Pill was much better than that of the Fire-spitting Mysterious Pill. It could save one's life at a critical moment. Both the Purple Qi Bead of Fortune and the Blessed Heavenly Blade were special treasures that involved fortune. They could be used as reference and assistance when Mengqi's Three-gem Wish Fist lacked fortune.
In addition, their own abilities were also very valuable. With the blessing of fortune, one could avert danger and escape from disaster!
Just as Mengqi was considering which one to keep, Qu Jiuniang's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Primogenitor is back."
There was no time to think. Mengqi simply put away all the treasures, planning to think about it later.
Back at the Azure Palace, the masked Primogenitor Lingbao came out to welcome him. He asked solemnly, "What's the matter?"
Mengqi glanced at Qu Jiuniang and said, "Primogenitor, let's talk inside."
Entering the secret chamber, Primogenitor Lingbao did not ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Mengqi and listened attentively.
Mengqi had already thought it through. He said directly, "Primogenitor, Abbot Kong Wen of Shaolin Temple may be a fake. He may be the Devil Master in disguise. He may also be the Heaven Sovereign of the Myths."
Primogenitor Lingbao had lived for two to three hundred years and had experienced many storms. He did not lose his voice when he heard the words. Instead, he fell silent, causing the atmosphere in the room to freeze.
After a moment, he seemed to have finished deliberating. He said slowly, "If Donor Han is indeed the Heaven Sovereign, it is not impossible … Taoist Kong Wen has been quite strange in the past ten years."
Mengqi took a deep breath and told Primogenitor Lingbao exactly what Kong Wen had said. He only concealed the fact that he had found Kong Wen.
"So you met the trapped Taoist Kong Wen …" Primogenitor Lingbao said with relief.
As for other matters, Primogenitor Lingbao did not delve into them. He curled his fingers and tapped on the table. He said to himself, "Let's assume that the trapped one is Vacuum Wen … the mysterious Dharmakaya …"
Suddenly, his fingers paused and he let out a long sigh. "I know which benefactor it is."
"Who?" Mengqi asked eagerly.
Primogenitor Lingbao knew who it was!
Primogenitor Lingbao said, "When Jiuniang described how she was captured, Daoist felt that it was vaguely familiar. Now that I think about it, isn't it Donor Tai Li's Five-colored Palm?"
"Tai Li? The Peacock Demon King? "Mengqi was shocked.
The Demon King Tai Li who had condensed the Real Body of Five Elements of Peacock?
Primogenitor Lingbao nodded. "Daoist has fought with him and experienced the power of the Five-colored Palm. I didn't expect him to be in cahoots with Donor Han."
Suddenly, Mengqi thought of the demonized Zhen Guan and the many monsters under the stupa at the back mountain of Shaolin Temple. He suddenly felt that this was how things should develop!
…
A man with five-colored hair stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His arrogance was palpable.
With his back to the guests, he smiled lazily. "You let Qu Jiuniang be rescued. If the people of the Immortals are not fools, they will sooner or later figure out who I am from the Five-colored Palm."
"So, we change our plan. We will switch openly and secretly."
