Chapter 190 Powerful Lightning Bead (6k)
"Friend Liu Dao, retreat!"
However, while Liu Changan was immersed in it, Yang Hao's reminder suddenly came to his ears.
"How..."
Liu Changan woke up suddenly. The next moment, he saw the originally delicate and cute junior sister, eating towards him with her mouth wide open.
Its hair also seemed to have turned into countless venomous snakes, waving in the air and making bursts of sounds.
Liu Changan didn't have time to think about why his junior sister became like this, so he immediately used the "Righteous Body Protection" technique.
A translucent shield emitting light yellow light appeared on the surface of his body in time, protecting his whole body.
Ding!
Junior Sister Du's teeth pressed against the shield, making a sound similar to the clash of gold and iron, which clearly showed its power.
However, Junior Sister Du's head did not give up the attack.
It waved the long hair all over the sky, and the thousands of hairs were like hard whips, hitting Liu Changan's protective shield.
Ping! Ping! Pong! Pong!
The light of the shield quickly dimmed visibly to the naked eye, and cracks that could not be healed appeared on the surface as the long hair attacked.
"This can't go on like this, she must be killed!"
Liu Changan's keen sense of combat immediately came up with the best solution in the current situation, but when he looked at the familiar face in front of him, he could not be cruel.
What if Junior Sister is still conscious?
Then didn't he indirectly kill his junior sister?
It's a pity that Liu Changan will be soft-hearted, but the monster opposite will not.
Snapped!
The monster whipped Liu Changan's shield with several powerful and heavy blows, completely shattering Liu Changan's shield.
The long hair continued to grow stronger, and with a sharp edge, it struck Liu Changan's head.
"Not good!"
Liu Changan came to his senses, only to find that the attack from the opposite side was only one foot away from him, and he could not dodge in time.
"Are you going to die?"
Liu Changan felt as if everything in front of him had slowed down. In this state, he could clearly see the ferocity on his junior sister's face and the violence in her eyes...
Boom!
Fortunately, at this time, Yang Hao had already taken care of another mutated human-headed monster, and with a few swipes of sword energy, he chopped all the long hair in front of Liu Changan's face.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, are you okay?"
Yang Hao swung his sword again and completely smashed Junior Sister Du's head into pieces. Then he flew to Liu Changan's side and asked about her condition.
"No...it's okay. I really thanked fellow Taoist Zhou just now. I almost died."
Liu Changan came to his senses and quickly saluted Yang Hao to express his sincere gratitude.
"You should, take people's money and eliminate disasters with them."
Yang Hao smiled slightly, then waved his hand to take a picture of the two motionless corpses in front of the two of them.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I feel very sorry for what happened to your junior brothers and sisters, but now is not the time to dwell on the love between these children. Please also carefully examine their bodies to find out the reasons for their mutations." "I'm worried
. It is very possible that they were manipulated by the group of men in black during the previous pursuit." "
It is very possible that the group of men in black are waiting for us outside Binglai City ahead."
Hearing this, Liu Changan's expression darkened.
Now that he had regained his composure, he also realized something was wrong.
It is very possible that he has similar hands and feet on his body.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for reminding me."
He bowed again, then endured the grief in his heart and stepped forward to carefully inspect the bodies of the two junior brothers and sisters.
Seeing this, Yang Hao also remained vigilant and guarded him at all times.
"The man in black this time is indeed a little weird."
Yang Hao thought of all the weird feelings he had before, and was a little surprised for a moment.
You must know that with his spiritual consciousness that is almost the same as that of Jindan, it is basically impossible for the illusions in the foundation building stage to have any impact on him.
But in fact, he could not find much information about Liu Changan's two junior brothers and sisters, or about the abnormalities in Xianghu City and Binglai City.
If these two guys hadn't leaked a breath when they were about to arrive at Binglai City, Yang Hao might not have noticed something was wrong so easily.
However, even if Yang Hao took action in time and cut off the two heads, he was still surprised by the strange methods of these two people.
The ability to continue fighting even with a broken head was obviously not something that these two little guys who were only in the early stage of foundation building could possess.
Moreover, according to Yang Hao's experience during the previous battle, after the mutation, every blow between these two people was as powerful as the late foundation building stage.
Such a huge increase in combat power is unusual.
If all this is caused by the forces represented by the men in black, then their power is extraordinary.
To be fair, Yang Hao now sincerely believes that it will be very difficult for Haoran Sect to successfully obtain Zhengtianmen's things this time.
"Brother Zhou, I've finished the inspection."
After a while, Liu Changan straightened up and reported the inspection results to Yang Hao.
"I only found these two drug residues in the bodies of my junior brothers and sisters. Their mutations must be related to these things!"
Liu Changan manipulated a group of dust-like things to come to Yang Hao and asked him to take a closer look. .
Yang Hao swept his consciousness and relied on his level 4 alchemy skills to easily identify the origins of these two medicinal residues.
"This is the ecstasy grass and the phoenix flower. They are usually used to refine elixirs that confuse the mind and stimulate the potential of the body." "What!?"
Liu
Changan was shocked by the content before he could be surprised by Yang Hao's alchemy skills. Shocked.
Apparently, he was very familiar with both names.
"A few days ago, before we were chased by the men in black, we passed by a medicine field. There seemed to be these two kinds of elixirs in the medicine field. Could it be that that time..."
Liu Changan's face suddenly turned ugly. .
He never thought that something went wrong at that time.
It seems that the three people will be hunted down by the men in black, which may also be related to the medicine field.
"It's very possible, Fellow Daoist Liu, you should check to see if there are any abnormalities in your body first."
Yang Hao suggested.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I've already checked it before I went in, and there are no problems inside and outside my body."
Liu Changan replied.
"Then what do fellow Daoist Liu plan to do next? Should we continue to Binglai City?"
Yang Hao asked again.
"Of course, after paying so much, I have no reason to give up now."
Liu Changan's eyes were firm as he put the bodies of the two junior brothers and sisters into storage bags, and planned to continue flying towards Binglai City.
"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Liu, have you never thought that there might be a problem with Binglai City in front of you?"
Yang Hao grabbed Liu Changan and pointed to Binglai City with a strange atmosphere in front of him.
"Impossible, Binglai City has the Nascent Soul Ancestor sitting in charge..."
Liu Changan retorted subconsciously.
"Is there a possibility that the Binglai City in front of you and me is not the real Binglai City?"
Yang Hao sighed and said slowly.
"What!? Are you saying that all this is an illusion?"
Liu Changan's eyes widened, and then he activated the Haoran Zhengqi Jue in his body, then chanted the incantation and released a detection technique.
But obviously, he couldn't find anything unusual.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this..."
Liu Changan looked at Yang Hao.
"Your spell level is too low, you should just follow me."
Yang Hao sighed, leading Liu Changan along a zigzag route, far around the Binglai City that lay ahead.
Originally relying on the invincibility of his divine consciousness, and the fact that the range of action of the PoWan Eye was much smaller than that of his divine consciousness, Yang Hao had not used the PoWan Eye for a long time.
But in the current situation, he really needed to use the entry on Po Luanyan.
After opening the Delirium Eye, Yang Hao clearly saw that there was no Binglai City in front of him and Liu Changan.
There was only a valley filled with thick white miasma.
On the edge of the valley, you can see all kinds of skeletons and animal bones.
It doesn't look like a good place.
Due to the limited range of the PoWan Eye, Yang Hao didn't know what exactly existed in the valley.
But a premonition told him that there was a big crisis inside.
If you break in rashly, you will die.
Even though he is just an avatar now, it is best not to seek death easily.
What's more, there is Liu Changan next to him.
For the sake of the next reward, he couldn't let Liu Changan die easily.
...
half an hour later.
Yang Hao led Liu Changan out of the influence of the valley smoothly.
At this time, Liu Changan looked back and could vaguely see the true face of the valley through the detection technique.
"It's really scary. How did we deviate so far?"
Liu Changxin was still frightened. He just forgot about the valley from a distance, and then he felt as if his heart was grabbed by something and he couldn't breathe.
If the two of them had barged straight in, the consequences would be unknown.
"I guess it's the fault of those men in black."
Yang Hao guessed.
"Damn it, I, Liu Changan, will kill these bastards!"
When Liu Changan mentioned this, he thought of his junior brothers and sisters who died tragically, and couldn't help but swore fiercely.
"Without further delay, let's rush to Binglai City. However, for the sake of safety, I plan to use the concealment technique and take fellow Daoist Liu there with me." Yang Hao
suggested.
"Will this consume too much?"
Liu Changan hesitated.
The current fighting power depends entirely on Yang Hao. If the opponent consumes too much, their safety will not be good.
"It's okay, the next time won't be too long."
Yang Hao patted his chest and said confidently.
He planned to release the Escape Technique at the same time as the Aurora Escape, and move forward at full speed.
Since Aurora Escape is only a first-level spell, the consumption will not be too great. The only consumption is on Escape from Void, which he can still afford.
"Then please leave it to Brother Zhou."
Liu Changan felt relieved after hearing this.
After getting the other party's consent, Yang Hao picked up Liu Changan, then quickly used the Escape Technique and Aurora Escape, and flew towards Binglai City at high speed.
...
Another half an hour later.
Yang Hao and his two men finally arrived at the real gate of Binglai City.
"The entry fee is 100 spirit stones!"
Due to the presence of Yuanying Ancestor, the security of Binglai City has been greatly increased, and the cost of entering the city has naturally increased, reaching an astonishing 100 spirit stones.
However, for Yang Hao and the two of them, this was just a drop in the bucket. They casually took out the spirit stones to pay the bill, and then quickly came to Binglai City.
"Brother Zhou, thank you for escorting me along the way. Although I lost my junior brother and junior sister, I can't blame you for this incident." "
This is what was agreed upon before. Please take a look at it, Brother Zhou."
After entering the safe zone, Liu Changan was obviously relieved, turned around and bowed to Yang Hao, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Yang Hao.
"You're welcome."
Yang Hao responded, then took the jade slip and took a look.
It contains a third-level weapon refining module called "Dream Poison Curse".
As the name suggests, a magic weapon with this module installed can not only cause physical damage to the enemy, but also impose a curse called "Dream Poison" on the opponent.
The effect is to weaken the enemy's soul resistance, soul strength and consciousness recovery speed to a certain extent, lasting for one hour.
The extent of the weakening depends on the enemy's cultivation level.
For a foundation-building monk, when ten curses are stacked, the weakening rate can be as high as 50%!
It can be seen that this module is still very powerful.
Its value is obviously not low either.
This trip is worth it!
"No problem."
After Yang Hao confirmed that there was no problem with the module, he smiled at Liu Changan.
"That's good, Brother Zhou, I have something else to do next, let's just say goodbye."
Liu Changan smiled back and then left.
"See you soon!"
Yang Hao also waved goodbye, and then the two of them separated.
...
After parting ways with Liu Changan.
Yang Hao walked around Binglai City alone and found that the economy here is still very prosperous.
Moreover, the pedestrians on the road are basically immortal cultivators, and a large proportion of them are in the foundation-building stage.
Compared with their Qingyang Sect's Tianyang City, it was more prosperous.
Yang Hao even saw a golden elixir monk on the road.
"This place is nice. No wonder there is a Nascent Soul cultivator here."
Yang Hao walked around and saw a lot, then he randomly found a hotel to stay.
There are still more than ten days until the auction in Binglai City. Yang Hao plans to take advantage of this time to refine some Nine-Revolution Life-Death Pills and bring them to the auction to recover some funds.
In this way, if you encounter some treasures at an auction, you won't be disappointed.
Of course, in order not to break the sect's monopoly, Yang Hao would not sell too much.
Two or three are enough.
Anyway, there is a powerful Nascent Soul sitting here, so the Nine Transformations of Life and Death Pill can still be digested.
Just like that, February 24th came in a blink of an eye.
Yang Hao came to the auction house in advance and after paying 10,000 spiritual stones, he was treated as a VIP box.
"Welcome everyone to attend the triennial Binglai City auction. I am your old friend, Ran Jinmin." "
Without further ado, we will officially start the auction."
"The first person to appear is the ancient artifact from the secret realm of Qingshi Mountain. "Taiyin Ghost Code"."
"This is the suppressing technique of the ancient sect 'Xuanyin Sect'. It is inherited from the foundation to the Nascent Soul." "
In addition, the Taiyin Ghost Code also contains various ghost-type techniques. It has powerful bonuses."
"Do you want to kill enemies by leapfrogging? Do you want your family to have a strong heritage?" "
Don't hesitate, hurry up and take the photo!"
"Taiyin Ghost Code, starting price, 1,000 A piece of medium-grade spiritual stone, each increase in price must not be less than 10 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stone!"
After the host's impassioned opening, the auction officially kicked off.
However, Yang Hao did not expect that the first auction item would be so popular.
As soon as they came up, they started to auction a technique that was enough to cultivate to the Nascent Soul.
Simply outrageous.
Yang Hao could already imagine the excitement off the court.
Sure enough, the moment the host finished speaking, there were already people rushing to quote.
The price soon reached 2,000 pieces of mid-grade spiritual stones, and it is still rising.
In the end, this technique was auctioned for a high price of 25,230 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones, and was won by an old man at the Golden Core stage.
"Tsk, tsk, the scale of the auction here is indeed much larger."
Yang Hao secretly marveled.
The next auction items are not so exciting. They are both for the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage.
However, these things are of little use to Yang Hao.
He waited until the Black Thunder Stone appeared.
"The next item is... the Xuan Lei Stone!"
"Everyone must know the function of the Xuan Lei Stone, so I won't go into details here." "
This Xuan Lei Stone weighs up to 20 kilograms, and has sky thunder printed on its surface. The shot down lines are of extremely high quality."
"Whether it is used to refine the tribulation weapon, or bought to enhance one's own power, it is a very good choice." "Okay,
without further ado, here's the starting price. 1,000 pieces of mid-grade spirit stones! Every time the price is increased, it must not be less than 10 pieces of mid-grade spirit stones!"
The host announced loudly with a look of blood on his face, and then all the participants on the field began to bid.
"1,100 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones!"
"1,200 pieces!"
"1,350!"
"I'll pay 1,500!"
"..."
The price kept rising, and soon it reached 5,000 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones.
But the enthusiasm for the auction has not diminished at all.
This is normal. How could the materials that can be used to refine the tribulation weapon not be in demand?
Yang Hao looked around and found that most of the bidders were monks who were in the late stages of foundation building and were about to break through the golden elixir.
"10,000 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones!"
Yang Hao ignored others and doubled the price to show his determination to win.
With such a price increase, the place suddenly became silent.
But then, the noise started to get loud again.
"11020!"
"13020!"
"14000! Dear fellow Taoists, I, Tian Xingzi, are in urgent need of this Xuan Lei Stone. I wonder if you could, for my sake, give me this Xuan Lei Stone?" Bid is given
. Halfway through, it turned out that someone couldn't help but want to sell face.
"20,000!"
Yang Hao didn't care whether you were Tianxingzi or Tianleizi, so he directly raised the price a lot.
"You!" The old man who wanted to sell face immediately shook his beard and almost couldn't restrain his inner anger.
"If fellow Taoist can give you this mysterious thunder stone, I can refine a second-level magic weapon for you for free. How about it?" The old man
calmed down and negotiated terms in the direction of Yang Hao.
"I'm sorry, I also need this Xuan Lei Stone very much. Please don't say anything else. All competitions are based on ability."
Yang Hao replied expressionlessly, and then urged the host on the field.
"Okay, okay!" The old man was so angry that he said three times in a row, and then he didn't know whether it was because he really had no money or he didn't want to waste money on it. He just disappeared and didn't bid with Yang Hao again.
After the host asked three times in succession, the Xuan Lei Stone was completely bought by Yang Hao.
Just wait for the auction to end and you can take it home.
"Yes, although there were some twists and turns, the result was still good."
After the auction, Yang Hao used his room number to go to the back of the venue to receive his auction items and the spiritual stones sold for the Nine-Revolution Life and Death Pill.
Apart from buying the Xuan Lei Stone, Yang Hao actually earned 250 high-grade spiritual stones this time.
Sure enough, in the end, it was the alchemist who made the most money.
"It's better to run away quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid we will be entangled by many people."
Yang Hao felt the vague malice coming from all directions, smiled slightly, and Shi Shiran walked out of the auction house with his things.
Since Yang Hao was not in the mood to fish right now, when he left the city, he directly used the Escape Technique + Aurora Escape, leaving other ill-intentioned people far behind.
Moreover, since there was no drag from Liu Changan and others this time, Yang Hao only spent half a day returning to Tianyang City.
Then, he directly used the local teleportation array to instantly return to the sect.
"Next, I should focus on refining the tribulation weapon, and put aside all other things that should be put aside."
Yang Hao returned to the cave, took out all the materials, and then got into the weapon refining room.
…
Three days later again.
Yang Hao looked at the results in the refining furnace and couldn't help but smile with joy.
After these days of hard refining, he finally refined three second-level high-grade lightning protection beads!
Lightning protection beads are common tribulation weapons, and their grades fluctuate from the second-order low-grade to the fourth-order high-grade.
The effect is that it can absorb a certain amount of the power of the thunder tribulation and store it when going through the heavenly tribulation.
If the lightning protection beads are not damaged, the stored lightning power can be released for attacks in future battles.
It can be said that lightning protection beads are a very cost-effective lightning protection device.
Generally speaking, a second-level high-grade ordinary lightning protection bead can help a foundation-building monk who has overcome the tribulation reduce lightning damage by 15%.
However, although the three lightning protection beads refined by Yang Hao are of ordinary quality, they are blessed by various full-level basic modules, and their effects are much stronger than the original ones.
To sum up, the effect of a lightning protection bead is as follows:
1. Absorb lightning damage +200%
2. Real energy consumption -30%
3. Lightning protection bead strength +80%
4. The stored lightning power attenuates at a rate of -65%
. First, if Yang Hao's Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation had not mutated, three lightning protection beads would have helped Yang Hao absorb nearly 90% of the damage from the lightning tribulation!
In that case, could the Heavenly Tribulation with only 10% of its power still pose a threat to Yang Hao?
"It's a pity that the materials are limited and there is no way to refine more lightning protection beads. Otherwise..." After being
happy for a while, Yang Hao still felt a pang of regret when he recalled the materials consumed these days.
Since weapon refining is not like elixir refining, the sub-skills only have various modules.
Yang Hao could not increase the success rate of refining a specific magic weapon through the skill panel.
Everything can only be attempted with your own strength.
In this way, even though Yang Hao's weapon refining skills had a lot of success rates, he still used up all the materials.
It's really a pity.
"Forget it, with these three lightning protection beads, there should be no problem with the Heavenly Tribulation." "
In addition, the sect's formation can also help weaken a lot of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. In this way, even if my Heavenly Tribulation With a lot more power, it should be almost certain."
Yang Hao comforted himself for a while, and then stopped worrying about it.
Work is getting busy and I have to work overtime. For the time being, I can only write 6,000 words a day.
