Chapter 257 Controlling the Black Lotus of Demonic Energy

The demon tribe only deployed 5,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers on the front line. This amount of troops, combined with the formation, is more than enough for defense.

But if used for attack, it is obviously not enough.

The demon tribe's behavior clearly shows that they have no intention of attacking.

Liu Yuanchen then asked: "I heard that there are half-demons farming in Jinyu City. I wonder what the situation is now?"

Ren An replied: "Reply to God, there are indeed half-demons farming over there.

Those dragons are good at calling the wind and rain and can irrigate the land.

Over the years, they have opened up a field of more than 30 miles behind Jinyu City.

However, the demon tribe does not have the means of the God of the Land in the Divine Court, and can only let some earth-attributed monsters cast spells to condense soil.

Under Ao Zhenting's repeated orders, tens of thousands of half-demons have been struggling for more than ten years, and only opened up such a small area.

In terms of land development, they are far inferior to the human race."

Liu Yuanchen just nodded slightly. Although half-demons can also farm, they have always been wild and difficult to tame.

It is easy to let them destroy, but it is very difficult to let them develop and build.

If there is no Ao Zhenting, the royal family of the True Dragon, they would have been scattered long ago.

If the Chihuang Marquisate intends to attack Jinyu City, it will definitely not be able to defend it.

However, the Chihuang Marquisate was founded not long ago, and the territory is vast and sparsely populated.

With the help of the gods, the existing territory can be developed and the national strength can continue to grow.

In the short term, the enthusiasm for expansion to the east is not too high.

For a long time in the future, both sides will continue to strengthen their defenses, and no one has the intention of attacking in a big way.

In Yannan County, Liu Yuanchen also let his clone cultivate a lot of ears and eyes spiritual plants.

He can clearly see that there are more than a hundred fortresses built around the Grey Goose Lake.

Both the human race and the demon race only want to defend and develop the existing territory.

Liu Yuanchen is also happy to be idle. It is very difficult to expand in the world of the living.

Although there are internal conflicts on the demon side, they can still cooperate when dealing with the human race.

Facing the huge demon race, the human race has no ability to defeat it in one fell swoop.

After gaining a firm foothold, they can only expand their territory step by step by gradually eroding it.

The underworld is different. There are not many masters around Panlong Mountain.

Moreover, it is in a wild era with grass-roots kings everywhere.

As long as one's fist is strong enough and a foundation is laid, it really doesn't take much effort.

After asking Ren An about some things, Liu Yuanchen said: "You are now a cultivator in the Lingtai realm.

If you continue to be a small manager, it is really a waste of talent.

How about this, you will serve as the deputy head of the formation hall."

Ren An bowed and said: "Thank you, God."

...

While Liu Yuanchen was dealing with Ren An's affairs, his clone in the Shendao Spirit Realm was not relaxed either.

It has been several months since Panlong Pavilion opened, and Panlong Pavilion's business is also very good.

He mainly sells spiritual medicines that are useful to souls, because they are brought out from the underworld, the quality is naturally not bad.

Even if he raises the price, there are still many people scrambling to buy it.

At this time, several Hongling envoys were queuing in front of the Dongyang Divine Mansion in the Divine Realm, waiting to buy spiritual objects.

In the main hall, the Divine Avatar was also very busy.

An elderly Hongling envoy took a soul-replenishing fruit and examined it carefully.

After a long time, he said, "This soul-replenishing fruit of the Divine Lord is indeed the best of the best.

Selling it for 12,000 taels of incense silver is also genuine.

The little god has confirmed that there is no problem with this thing."

"According to the rules of the Hongling Mansion, I will take this thing away first and leave a receipt with you.

After the buyer pays, I will send the money to you."

After that, he took out a receipt and left the transaction status and inspection results of the soul-replenishing fruit on it.

He also left a photo bead to record the previous identification process.

If there is a problem with the goods or money during the transaction.

With this receipt and the photo bead, you can claim compensation from the Hongling Mansion.

After the Divine Avatar received the receipt and the photo bead, the Hongling envoy withdrew.

Then, another Hongling envoy came in.

The new Hongling envoy bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Lord God."

Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "No need to be polite, what goods do you want to take?"

The Hongling envoy shook his head: "Lord God, I am here to settle the bill.

Seven days ago, Panlong Pavilion sold a blood soul flower, which is worth 5,000 taels of incense silver.

The goods have been inspected and paid, and I have brought the money. Please show me the certificate, Lord God."

Liu Yuanchen took out the certificate of the blood soul flower and the photo bead and handed them to the Hongling envoy.

After checking that it was correct, the Hongling envoy handed the 5,000 taels of incense silver to Liu Yuanchen, and then left.

Sensing the situation of the Shinto clone, Liu Yuanchen also sighed: "I didn't expect that opening an online store would be so difficult.

Fortunately, it's not the original body that handles these things, otherwise I would be annoyed to death."

"Although the Shinto clone is not very useful, it is still a god after all.

It's a bit embarrassing to use it to handle these chores.

There are also many souls of the Liu family in the Shinto spiritual realm.

Some of them have become ghost cultivators and have been conferred divine positions.

These people's cultivation is not high, but it should not be a problem to use them to handle these chores."

It is much easier to let the Shinto clone keep an eye on a few people than to let him do it himself.

As soon as he thought about it, the Shinto clone summoned some ghost cultivators.

Select some shrewd and reliable ghost cultivators and let them be responsible for receiving the Hongling envoy.

There are too many buyers in Hongling Mansion, and it is really hard to take care of them.

Liu Yuanchen had to slightly increase the price of spiritual objects and limit the sale.

At the same time, the magical clone who often travels outside is also quite tired in the underworld.

Every day, he walks back and forth in the territories of various ghost kings and demon kings, selling elixirs in the world and purchasing spiritual objects in the underworld.

In addition to being busy, he also collects low-level spiritual plants common in the underworld and plants them on Panlong Mountain.

Moreover, he often uses the art of spring breeze and rain to nourish those spiritual plants.

Create conditions for the recognition of Panlong Mountain in the underworld in the future.

…

Seven years have passed, and Liu Yuanchen is 69 years old.

Over the years, the revenue of Panlong Lake Market has been close to the limit.

The annual net profit income is close to 9 million spirit stones, but the growth rate has been very slow.

The profit of the duel field is only about 6 million spirit stones per year, and it will hardly grow.

The business of Panlong Pavilion in Hongling Mansion is very good, bringing in tens of millions of spirit stones every year.

The main reason for limiting the income of Panlong Pavilion is that it cannot obtain enough spiritual objects.

After all, only one clone goes to the underworld to sell elixirs and purchase spiritual plants, which is really not enough.

Before occupying Panlong Mountain, this situation will not change much.

Although it seems that the annual income is not small, it is low-grade spirit stones.

If converted into high-grade spirit stones, it is less than 2,000.

The top cultivation resources in the world of cultivation are all priced in high-grade spirit stones or even top-grade spirit stones.

Just like the eighth-level spirit stone jade marrow exchanged from Wanshan Venerable before, it should be able to sell 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.

At the current speed of making money, it will take more than 50 years to afford it.

Of course, ordinary earthly immortals cannot afford such top-grade natural treasures when increasing the spiritual veins of the blessed land.

Being able to buy a fifth or sixth-level spiritual stone jade marrow without delaying the blessed land's breakthrough to the cave heaven is already a blessing.

In the Dongyang blessed land, a pure black water moon lotus is in full bloom.

Around this black lotus, there are still wisps of black air lingering.

Liu Yuanchen drew a large amount of magic energy from the underground magic black lotus and injected it into this black water moon lotus.

After the magic energy was injected, it disappeared without a trace in just a moment.

This magic energy, Liu Yuanchen himself can refine it, and his cultivation can be significantly improved.

If ordinary spiritual plants are exposed to so much magic energy, they will die instantly.

But after this black water moon lotus absorbed a large amount of magic energy, there was no obvious change.

Of course, these years of cultivation have made the water moon lotus unrecognizable.

The previous water moon lotus was only a second-level middle-grade spiritual plant.

And now the black water moon lotus is already a third-level upper-grade spiritual plant.

Liu Yuanchen used his spiritual sense to detect its vitality and found that the vitality in the water moon lotus had also undergone great changes.

The vitality of normal spiritual plants should be emerald green.

The spiritual plants in the underworld are mostly gray-green, which is the result of the fusion of vitality and yin energy.

The first and second generation water moon lotus cultivated by magic energy is emerald green mixed with black magic energy, and the two do not interfere with each other.

At this time, the vitality of the water moon lotus has turned dark green.

It can be clearly sensed that it contains a large amount of magic energy.

However, the vitality has been completely integrated with the magic energy.

The growth condition of the entire water moon lotus is very good, without any signs of damage.

It has just absorbed a large amount of magic energy, which only slightly deepens the color of the vitality.

And this water moon lotus, not only does not show any sign of withering, but it is more energetic.

Liu Yuanchen was amazed in his heart: "This Water Moon Lotus will not be harmed by the devil's energy at all. My method of using the devil's energy to cultivate spiritual plants is considered successful.

It has only been twenty years since the beginning of cultivation.

The Water Moon Lotus has only reproduced seven generations, and this is it?

It is rumored that the senior who cultivated the Magic Mist Black Lotus cultivated for more than thirty generations before he succeeded."

"I have the authority of the Heavenly Dao to suppress the devil's energy, and I have the power of Zhenyuan Daxian to fight against the devil's energy.

But even so, it is indeed unexpected that I can cultivate a spiritual plant that carries the devil's energy so quickly."

"Since this Water Moon Lotus can already carry the devil's energy and its grade has been improved, it can be regarded as a new spiritual plant.

In this case, this new spiritual plant will be called the Water Moon Magic Lotus."

Although the Water Moon Magic Lotus will not be harmed by the devil's energy, there is still one last step to control the Magic Black Lotus.

This last step is to let the spiritual plant cultivated by the devil's energy swallow the Magic Black Lotus. There are two ways.

One is to extract all the demonic energy from the Demonic Black Lotus and integrate it into the Water Moon Demonic Lotus.

The senior who cultivated the Demonic Mist Black Lotus used this method.

However, this method has hidden dangers.

Because this is to use spiritual plants to suppress the Demonic Black Lotus, it will inevitably be backfired.

Later, another senior master among the spiritual pharmacists proposed a method of stealing the sky and replacing the day.

Put the spiritual lotus seeds cultivated by the demonic energy on the Demonic Black Lotus to replace the seeds of the Demonic Black Lotus itself.

In this way, the energy in the Demonic Black Lotus is naturally absorbed by the spiritual lotus seeds.

In the end, the spiritual lotus seeds replaced the Demonic Black Lotus.

This method conforms to the growth law of the Demonic Black Lotus itself and will not be rejected.

This method sounds reasonable, but no one has ever tried it.

After all, the Demonic Black Lotus is not easy to control. Without the authority of Heaven and the method of refining the demonic energy, it cannot be controlled at all.

Liu Yuanchen is confident that he can control the Black Lotus, but he dare not let the Water Moon Demon Lotus swallow the Demonic Black Lotus by force.

Otherwise, it would be a huge hidden danger to carry this thing with him.

He still has to use the natural means to steal the origin of the Demonic Black Lotus with the lotus seeds of the Water Moon Demon Lotus.

To perform this method, he needs to wait for the Water Moon Demon Lotus to produce lotus seeds.

And when the lotus seeds grow to the same size as the lotus seeds of the Demonic Black Lotus, he needs to pick them off and send them to the Demonic Black Lotus.

The Water Moon Demon Lotus is infected by the demonic energy, and the two have a great connection.

The lotus seeds of the Water Moon Demon Lotus absorb the lotus seeds of the Demonic Black Lotus, and there is hope that the Demonic Black Lotus will be deceived and let the Demonic Black Lotus regard it as the lotus seeds it has bred.

Only when the lotus seeds are formed and the demonic energy of the Demonic Black Lotus is completely absorbed by the lotus seeds, this method will be considered successful.

...

Half a year later, the Water Moon Magic Lotus that Liu Yuanchen had high hopes for withered and grew five lotus seeds.

These lotus seeds are not yet fully mature, but they are almost the same size.

Liu Yuanchen picked a lotus seed and injected magic power into it to maintain its vitality.

He also condensed a master recognition restriction and merged it into the lotus seed.

This restriction came from the innate treasure refining technique in Zhenyuan Daxian's preaching. It was naturally not a problem to suppress a small lotus seed.

Then he used the power of drilling mountains and escaping the earth, escaped underground, and came to the side of the magic black lotus.

Only one lotus seed grew on the magic black lotus.

There is a duel field in Panlong Lake Market, which can continuously provide various negative energies.

In the past few years, the growth rate of the magic black lotus has also been extremely fast, and now it is close to maturity.

Put the cultivated lotus seeds of the Water Moon Magic Lotus on the lotus platform of the magic black lotus.

The two are almost exactly the same in size and shape. After the lotus seeds of the Water Moon Magic Lotus are placed, they completely overlap with the lotus seeds of the Demonic Qi Black Lotus.

The latter is just a phantom made of demonic energy, and naturally cannot be compared with the former.

The former constantly draws demonic energy from the latter to replenish its own essence.

…

Several months later, Liu Yuanchen was seventy years old.

At this time, the lotus seeds of the Demonic Qi Black Lotus had completely disappeared, and the lotus seeds of the Water Moon Magic Lotus replaced them.

The Demonic Qi Black Lotus constantly absorbs negative energy, transforms it into demonic energy, and feeds the lotus seeds, but does not know that it is the son of the moth.

As time goes by, the lotus seeds are only one step away from maturity.

At this time, the lotus leaves of the Demonic Qi Black Lotus began to shrink, transforming into streams of demonic energy, pouring into the lotus seeds.

Next is the lotus root, and finally the lotus platform, all of which turned into demonic energy and poured into the lotus seeds.

After absorbing all the demonic energy, the lotus seeds finally matured completely.

The lotus seeds are carved like black jade, and there are wisps of demonic energy around them.

At this time, the fluctuations of the magic energy and spiritual power of the lotus seeds have reached the fourth level.

Liu Yuanchen nourished the lotus seeds with Yimu Peiyuan Technique to enhance its foundation.

Now the essence of the magic black lotus has been absorbed by the lotus seeds, but the function still exists.

With the existence of the master recognition restriction, Liu Yuanchen can clearly sense that the negative energy generated in the duel field of Panlong Lake Market is eventually absorbed by this small lotus seed.

With this lotus seed, he can also control the magic black lotus.
