Chapter 1932: The Bone-Seeing Plan
As soon as the Daluo Yuanshen moved, the restrictions in Ziyang Tower were not completely useless, but they were quickly broken through layer by layer.
Soon, Luo Hong's spiritual sense reached outside a room on the ninth floor.
The restrictions here have become much stronger. Although they are not impossible to break through, it is bound to alarm the people inside.
Therefore, Luo Hong, who was on the seventh floor, secretly activated a spell, causing a crack to appear between his eyebrows, allowing a faint golden light to shine through.
The next moment, the spiritual consciousness that had reached the ninth floor turned reality into illusion and easily passed through the obstruction of the room's restrictions.
Arriving in the room, Luo Hong swept his spiritual sense around and saw Marquis Zi Yang and his wife who had just disappeared on the seventh floor.
"Why are you so angry, my husband? After all, Master Zhaogu is a Daluo cultivator. Although we are local tyrants, we should be more tolerant of him."
After the dignified woman took Zi Yanghou to his seat, she considerately made him a cup of tea and comforted him.
"I know this truth. If not, I would not have gone to see him immediately. But do you know what he wants me to do?"
Speaking of the details, Zi Yang Hou couldn't help but get a little angry. After asking the question, he didn't wait for the dignified woman to respond, and answered himself:
“He actually wanted to lend all the twelve generals to me to help him find the inheritance in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave!
How could a husband like him agree to this?
After I declined, he used the eldest prince to pressure me, threatening me that if I didn't do it, he would immediately transfer me out of Ziyan City. This is really unreasonable!"
Marquis Zi Yang became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He grabbed the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he calm down a little.
After hearing these words, the dignified woman immediately understood why her husband was angry.
Honestly speaking, even if True Man Zhaogu was a Daluo monk, it was indeed too much.
The twelve generals he required were the only twelve Taiyi monks in the Marquis' Mansion.
Although their cultivation is only at the early and middle stages of Taiyi, they all practice poison, and after forming a large formation, it will be a great help to the Daluo cultivators.
More importantly, every time the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was opened, Marquis Zi Yang would lead his twelve generals into it to plunder resources and hunt poisonous beasts.
This is why Zi Yang Tower is so prosperous and Zi Yang Marquis’ Mansion is so wealthy.
If they did exactly as Master Gu said, the Marquis' Mansion would have to live a hard life for the next 330,000 years.
But the opponent's threat cannot be ignored, because the eldest prince Shi Zhanfeng does have the ability to mobilize Marquis Zi Yang.
Although Zi Yan City is not a suitable place for cultivation for other late Taiyi cultivators, it is indispensable for Zi Yang Hou.
This was because the technique he practiced was closely related to the purple smoke rising from the huge lake, and leaving here would be tantamount to cutting off his path.
"My dear, I feel like something is amiss here. Master Zhaogu has never practiced poison before, so why would he suddenly become interested in the ancient poison tradition?
Moreover, if he wants to enter the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, it will cost a lot, and there seems to be no news of this person killing a Daluo demon beast before. "
After pacing back and forth in front of Marquis Zi Yang twice, the dignified woman suddenly frowned and raised two questions.
One is that the purpose of Master Zhaogu is questionable, and the other is that the other party's means of entering the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is questionable.
After all, if a non-poison cultivator like Zhenren Zhaogu wants to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons through the Purple Smoke Cauldron, he must sacrifice the essence of a Daluo demon beast!
"It's indeed a bit strange. Judging from this, he must have gotten the clue about the treasure in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave from somewhere!"
After being reminded of this, Marquis Zi Yang immediately came to his senses.
The treasure he was talking about was actually just a rumor circulating among the poison cultivators in the Demon Realm.
Although most of the opportunities in the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons have been plundered by past cultivators over a long period of time, up to now, no one has ever truly found the core of the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons and refined this secret realm.
As a result, some messy rumors quickly spread around this point.
Although there are many versions of the rumor, there is only one core, that is, the core area of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave hides the treasures left by the ancient powerful!
Originally, not many people believed these rumors, but as more and more people spread them and they lasted for a long time, there were still many people who would rather believe it than not.
Although Zi Yang Hou didn't quite believe it, this was the only explanation he could find at the moment.
“Even if it’s not a treasure, something that can make a Daluo monk go to so much trouble to find must not be simple.
My dear husband, I think you might as well accept his request and lend him all the twelve generals."
The dignified woman became more and more into the mood, and she curled her lips and said.
"Madam wants them to be our accomplices, but I am no match for Master Zhaogu!"
Marquis Zi Yang knew very well that in the end, they would have to fight with Master Zhao Gu in order to truly gain any benefits.
"Of course, we can't just rush in the front on this matter, and most of what Master Zhaogu is planning is beyond our control.
This matter needs to be reported to my master, and he needs to take action!"
The dignified woman nodded seriously and made the final decision.
"Is this possible? The ancestor has always been very dissatisfied with me for kidnapping you."
When Marquis Zi Yang heard his wife mention his master, he immediately shrank back.
"Master is not a petty person, and if you can really make great contributions this time, Master will definitely change his mind about you.
By then, I will make him happy, and maybe you and I can leave this remote place and follow him to practice in Wuxian Mountain!"
The more the dignified woman spoke, the more excited she became, thinking that this was a great opportunity!
"If that's possible, it would be the best."
Zi Yang Hou was quite interested in what he said. He hesitated for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said:
"Okay, let's do as the lady says!
You go contact the ancestor immediately, and I will try to recruit some people from the city!"
Marquis Zi Yang also came to his senses at this time. He knew that if he gave the Twelve Generals to Master Zhao Gu without taking any action himself, Master Zhao Gu would definitely become suspicious.
Moreover, they will indeed need some manpower at that time, so this is both a show and has a certain use.
Afterwards, the dignified woman opened a teleportation array in the room and teleported to an unknown place in Ziyan City.
Zi Yang Hou did not stay in the house for long. He pushed the door open and walked downstairs.
Seeing this, Luo Hong realized that there was nothing more to be learned and immediately withdrew his spiritual sense, his thoughts racing as he began to digest the information he had just obtained.
“It’s not surprising that Master Zhaogu belongs to the eldest prince’s faction, but his purpose of coming to Ziyan City is to enter the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. What external force drives him?
The woman’s master was most likely also a Daluo cultivator, and was still cultivating in the Five Immortals Mountain. Could he be the famous leader of the poison path, the Five Immortals Patriarch?
Interesting, really interesting.
Previously, the opening of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was lukewarm, and not many Taiyi cultivators entered it.
When I arrived, I brought two Daluo monks with me.
Tiandao, you are really very good!"
Luo Hong was always being plotted against by the heavens, and his intuition in this regard became increasingly sharp.
However, the main reason is that Tiandao’s current methods are somewhat straightforward.
"Haha, it seems a little anxious."
Just as he was teasing the way of heaven, Luo Hong saw a flash of white light from the teleportation array in the distance, and Marquis Zi Yang walked out of it.
"My fellow Taoist, I was rude to you earlier. Please forgive me."
As soon as he approached, Marquis Zi Yang became extremely polite.
"Haha, with your level of cultivation, you have already shown mercy, otherwise those Golden Immortals would definitely not be alive.
I am Mo Bufan, a cultivator from the city. "
Luo Hong knew at a glance what Zi Yang Hou was here for, and immediately smiled and bowed to greet him.
"Oh, I didn't expect that there is a fellow Taoist like Mo Daoyou in Xiongju City. How come I have never heard of him before?"
Marquis Zi Yang had previously noticed that Luo Hong possessed impressive skills in the art of poison, so he immediately wanted to win over Luo Hong and make him the first subordinate to replace the Twelve Generals. Naturally, he also inquired about his background in detail.
"Mo said that he was practicing in Xiongju City, but in fact, most of the time, due to the skills he practiced, he could only retreat deep in the Ten Suffering Mountains."
Luo Hong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
Obviously, he was deliberately trying to make Marquis Zi Yang sympathize with him, because his identity was full of loopholes and could not withstand investigation.
"Alas, cultivation has always been difficult. Daoist friend Mo was brought to Ziyang Tower by the True Immortal of the Marquis' Mansion today. I believe he wants to buy high-level immortal materials. Why not talk to me about it?"
When Zi Yang Hou heard this, he thought of himself. He sighed and then spoke cheerfully.
"Mo needs a batch of prince's blood. Of course, it would be even better if it has poisonous enemy blood."
Luo Hong did not hide anything and directly stated his original purpose.
“You need to kill a poisonous enemy scorpion to obtain a ball of poisonous enemy blood from its heart.
This poisonous scorpion is not only a powerful Taiyi-level poison, but is also almost extinct in the outside world. Only a few groups of it can be found in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
Although there is a stock of goods in the building, such scarce items cannot be sold with magic stones."
Marquis Zi Yang immediately made things difficult for him.
Luo Hong immediately realized that this person was taking the opportunity to test him, so he frowned and asked tentatively:
"If it's barter, I have some specialties from the Ten Suffering Mountains. I just wonder if the Marquis would like them."
After saying that, Luo Hong slapped the treasure bag on his waist and took out several immortal materials from the treasure house of the Golden Rhino King.
"Such a large piece of golden jade! Daoist friend Mo, where did you get it from?
I heard that the place where this jade was produced was occupied by a Ten-Suffering King, and it is almost not circulated in the outside world!"
Zi Yang Hou's expression was calm at first, but when he saw one of the golden jade stones as big as a washbasin, his eyes immediately widened!
"This is something that Mo's spirit beast accidentally found in the mountains. I wonder if this jade can be exchanged for a ball of poisonous enemy blood?"
Seeing him like this, Luo Hong couldn't help but feel a little strange. After all, he didn't take out any high-grade immortal materials.
Because he knew Zi Yang Hou's purpose, he just wanted to use the immortal material he took out to judge whether the origin he had previously stated was false.
Therefore, Luo Hong only needs to take out some specialties of the Ten Suffering Mountains and there is no need to pursue the grade.
"If it were someone else, you, Daoist Mo, would definitely not be able to make this deal, but I urgently need this golden jade, so."
As he spoke, Marquis Zi Yang flipped his palm, took out a dark red jade bottle and threw it to Luo Hong.
"Fellow Daoist, please check it out."
Taking the jade bottle, Luo Hong was not polite. Purple mist appeared on his palm and he pulled out the bottle cap.
Suddenly, wisps of blood mist floated out from the mouth of the bottle and intertwined with the purple mist.
Even though the purple mist had an absolute advantage in quantity, it still took a lot of effort to refine it.
Seeing this, Luo Hong immediately put the bottle cap back on with satisfaction and pasted a spirit-sealing talisman on it.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for making it happen!"
After putting away the jade bottle, Luo Hong threw out the golden jade and bowed to express his gratitude.
"We are just taking what we need, there is no need to thank you, Mr. Mo.
I think you came to Ziyan City this time to explore the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, but I wonder if you have been here before? How much preparation did you make before? "
After happily putting away the golden jade, Marquis Zi Yang changed the subject.
“Mo has been busy practicing in seclusion before, and has never been to this poison cultivation holy land.
However, Mo had previously saved the life of a junior in the Poison Dao, and he knew a lot about the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, so Mo planned to take him in with him. "
Luo Hong basically answered truthfully.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but Daoist Mo, you will probably just be wasting your time.
You have to know that the suspicions within the Ten Thousand Poison Cave are quite complicated, and they change every time it is opened.
Unless people are sent into the Poison Cave all the time, it is impossible to summarize the pattern of such changes, so the role of ordinary maps is quite limited.
I see that the poisonous enemy blood is very important to you, don't you want to get some more?"
Zi Yang Hou tempted little by little.
"Of course I did. I wonder if you have any advice for me, Lord?"
Luo Hong bowed again.
What he said was true. Although he could use the primordial creation magic to directly condense the poisonous enemy blood, at present he still had to save the primordial energy as much as possible in case of emergency.
"It's a bit unfortunate that the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is opened this time, as my twelve generals have other important tasks to do, so I'm in urgent need of manpower. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Mo is willing to join us in exploring the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?
Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss! "
Zi Yang Hou's true intentions were now exposed, and he waited for Luo Hong's response with a confident smile.
What Luo Hong had actually been waiting for was exactly these words from him.
There are already two known Daluo monks, and perhaps more will be attracted in the future.
In such a chaotic situation, it is better to join one of the parties rather than act alone.
He wanted to see what secrets were hidden in the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons that could attract so much attention from Master Zhaogu and Sima Prison Master.
"That's great! I'm grateful to you for not abandoning me. I'm willing to go with you and follow your orders!"
"Okay, okay! Do you have a place to stay now, Brother Mo?"
Zi Yang Hou got a satisfactory result and was very happy. He asked with a smile.
"Mo has just arrived in Ziyan City and has not yet found a place to live."
Luo Hong answered truthfully again.
"Then there is no need to bother, Brother Mo. With this token, you can enter and leave the mansion freely, and someone will arrange accommodation for you."
Marquis Zi Yang immediately threw out a prohibition token and said.
