I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

There was silence in the central military tent.

An expert in refining the gods can defeat an army by himself, and can be restrained by the same level during a battle.

It is not easy to assassinate enemy generals. Most of the generals commanding the army of Daqian and Pseudo-Shun are third-level martial arts masters. Coupled with the guards and military formations, it is difficult to say whether a god-refining expert can come out alone if he falls into it alone.

I gained some knowledge today. The insect-controlling monster drove the sky full of strange insects, and defeated hundreds of thousands of armies from five directions by one person.

Everyone in the military tent felt very aggrieved. If it were a head-on fight, it would be impossible for the demon to withstand the encirclement and attack of more than a dozen God Refiners unless he was promoted to the super level.

However, the demon is proficient in controlling beasts and hides in the dark, making it difficult to find his traces.

As for the monster threat, neither Li Le nor anyone else can accept it.

One is the court's face. Bowing to hypocrisy is tantamount to agreeing with its existence.

Second, if two people are handed over for worship today, one of the people present may also be handed over tomorrow. .

"Your Highness, no matter how weird the monster is, there is only one. It would be better if more than a dozen armies march together to encircle and suppress the hypocrite."

One of the generals said: "With the power of thunder, if we attack Anzhou, the monster will be unable to recover!"

Someone reminded: "General Rong, His Majesty has just issued an order to suspend the offensive."

"You will be outside, your order..."

Before General Rong finished speaking, Li Le coughed twice and interrupted the follow-up.

"The demon secretly drives away insects and kills ordinary soldiers. Most of the sacrifices require magical protection. It is difficult to defeat the hypocritical army..."

After Li Le came to southern Xinjiang, he won many battles, but he did not dare to underestimate Xu Ni at all.

He relied on ten times the military strength and supplies, and the number of upper-level monks was far exceeded. He only achieved the current results by fighting steadily.

"Your Highness, urgent report!"

Suddenly a voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in."

Li Le felt worried, which was probably not a good thing.

really.

The person who came in was a burly young general with a sixth-level strength at a young age. He was a young talent from an unknown family. He had a look of fear on his face and reported: "Your Highness, there seems to be a plague in the army..."

plague!

Many experts were confused at first, and then frowned.

The army is densely populated, and an outbreak of plague is indeed troublesome. However, the immortal master in the army is not a decoration. A plague-repelling talisman can break the plague with one dose and can easily control the plague.

The young general still came to report, which shows that the plague is extraordinary and is most likely an evil method.

Da Gan stood up and said, "Let's go and see!"

Qin Qiong and Fan Wujiu accompanied him to protect him, and the others followed closely behind.

Zhou Yi fell at the end and followed unhurriedly, looking at the palm of his hand from time to time, his eyes twinkling.

Zhang Cheng deliberately fell a few steps behind and asked, "Old Zhou, what did you find?"

"This plague is not simple, even monks can be infected!"

Zhou Yi spread his hands and saw several golden silkworms imprisoned in his palms, with dark spots on his warm and jade-like skin.

"The source of the plague is poisonous insects?"

Zhang Cheng took out a jade bottle from his pocket and poured out two black pills.

"I found this from an old guy in the Alchemy Hall. It is said to be able to cure all poisons."

The Alchemy Hall was established by the Daqian royal family and was similar to the Immortal Bureau. However, it only recruited monks who were good at refining elixirs and its reputation was not as prestigious as the four major Immortal Bureaus.

Zhou Yi was not polite, the black elixir melted in the mouth, and a strange spiritual power flowed throughout the body, and finally gathered in the palm of the hand.

A few wisps of gray and black aura drifted away, and the palm of his hand returned to its original state.

…

Jia Qijun stronghold.

The young general led King Yan and others to the military hospital.

There were dozens of soldiers lying in the hall, their faces were ashen and ashen, and their foreheads had immobilization talismans and seals.

Several of them had open chests and scratches oozing blood, looking extremely painful and miserable.

The military doctor was a gray-robed Taoist priest with an old face and a spiritual light flowing around his body. He isolated himself from the outside and inside. He casually cupped his hands to King Yan and said.

"This plague comes from golden silkworms. Those currently infected with the disease are all people who have touched the remains, or have been in contact with an infected person."

As he spoke, a small magic weapon appeared in the old Taoist's hand, and he skillfully cut open the chest of a soldier.

Those present could clearly see that the chest muscles had mutated and turned gray, with a layer of black mist covering his lungs.

The knife cut off a piece of lung, and the spiritual power was photographed in front of Li Le's eyes. The old Taoist continued: "This plague is not spread by ordinary evil insects, but strange evil gas enters the body and corrodes the internal organs. After three or four days, the internal organs will fail and death will occur."

Li Le met the old Taoist's indifferent eyes and his blood-soaked lungs, and a cold air suddenly came over him.

Fan Wujiu asked: "Is there a cure for this epidemic?"

"The solution is very simple. We have found seven kinds, but the lowest ones are all sixth-grade elixirs."

The veteran took out a bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the patient's chest. The black mist slowly dispersed, and the internal organs returned to a healthy color.

The people present were all human spirits, and they immediately understood the meaning of the old way. The demon who spread the disease knew that there were countless strange people and strangers in the army, and that no matter how weird the disease, there were solutions. So instead of spreading those weird and rare diseases, the solution is very simple but requires expensive pills.

The market price of a sixth-grade antidote elixir exceeds a thousand taels. The lives of ordinary soldiers may not be worth this price, but they have to be saved.

"Master Hard Work has cured these people, and the necessary elixirs can be obtained from the Military Supplies Department."

Li Le said: "Let's go back and continue to discuss, and we must capture that monster!"

A group of people came and went in a hurry.

Zhou Yi glanced at the old Taoist in surprise. There was a familiar smell on him, the resentful smell of the torture chamber.

"I know this old guy. He is a ruthless man who practices both medicine and Taoism."

Zhang Cheng said in a low voice: "In order to practice medicine, he spent eight years in the torture chamber and killed countless demons with his own hands. He was almost eroded by evil spirits and went crazy and became a demon soldier."

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhou Yi with strange eyes. A Taoist master could only stay in prison for eight years, but Zhou Yi could survive ten years.

"It turns out he's still an inmate."

Zhou Yi sighed.

You know it at a glance, Daqian has been a country for fifteen hundred years, and Yunzhou's humanity is at its peak and has a profound foundation.

The highest level of the Military Medical Hall is only the sixth grade, but there are real Taoists hiding in it, studying medical knowledge with the help of military cases.

This is true in the military, and nowhere else.

Returning to the Chinese army's tent, we discussed it for nearly an hour and came up with three plans.

The first one was led by Master Sun, who opened a Dharma altar to divine the demon's feet and find out where it was.

The second one is Du Tutuo and other leftist masters, who use the victory-weary curse to make the demon feel uncomfortable even if they cannot directly kill him with the curse.

The remaining god-refining experts are responsible for refining anti-worm and anti-epidemic elixirs, to guard against sneak attacks by monsters, and to cure infected soldiers.

Zhou Yi was assigned to the third group, responsible for refining the sixth-grade Qingling Pill.

Zhang Cheng is in the second group. He specializes in all kinds of curses and likes to take revenge. There is also an ancient curse that has been lost for a long time. Judging from the weird look on his smile, it is definitely not a correct curse.

"This method of Lao Dao can make the holy monks break the precepts and the saints fall to the mortal world. Even if it is a true immortal Buddha, as long as he does not stop his emotions and his nature, this method will be beneficial!"

"Lao Zhang, you don't curse yourself often, do you?"

Zhou Yi received alchemy spiritual objects from the military supply department. The quantity was quite large and three hundred needed to be refined.

There are still many experts on Feilong Ridge, and there are also many Qi Refining Realms who are good at alchemy. They are also heavily defended. The epidemic was discovered in time as soon as it spread.

Several other garrisons were attacked by flying insects. Without warning, tens of thousands of people were infected, and they had to send a message to Luo Jing for help.

…

early morning.

Purple air came from the east, Feilong Ridge was silent, and the patrolling soldiers were cautious.

The immortals who usually should be puffing away the clouds are now working overtime and staying up late refining elixirs.

Refining the elixir requires quintessence of spiritual objects, tempering with fire, and casting spells to combine the elixirs. It takes at least half an hour to complete the furnace. There are about ten pills made with skilled techniques, and the task of refining 300 pills will take at least thirty or forty hours.

Some monks with poor elixir skills not only refine slowly, but only produce three or four elixirs. They will definitely not be able to complete all the elixirs in three days.

However, not all soldiers can survive three days, and those with weaker physiques will lose their vitality in one or two days.

The demon is not only good at controlling insects and dispersing plagues, but also has excellent mental planning.

The purpose of spreading the disease is not just to kill people, but also to hold back the masters of the Daqian Lian Shen, so that they can't join forces to attack and kill them.

suddenly.

Wisps of purple energy from the morning sun seemed to be drawn by mysterious power and fell into one of the alchemy rooms.

As the purple energy accumulates and thickens, it turns into a gorgeous glow, making the ordinary alchemy room elusive and unpredictable, like a fairyland.

After a while.

The extremely rich aroma of the elixir wafted out from the elixir room. The patrolling soldiers took a sip and felt refreshed.

The door to the alchemy room next door opened and a middle-aged Taoist walked out.

"Where did the Danxiang come from?"

The Taoist's nose twitched and he followed the scent to look at the door next door.

As the fragrance of elixirs overflowed, the other masters of alchemy in the elixir room could no longer sit still and turned off the flames.

"Which senior is making alchemy here?"

"It seems to be the weakest third-level one, called Zhouyi."

"This name has a profound meaning. The cycle of cycles is endless, and the change is the change of yin and yang in the sun and moon..."

"Cao Laodao, you laughed at Master Zhou a few days ago, saying that you lowered the bottom line of god refining. Why has it changed now?"

"Why do you, an old ghost, accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air?"

"..."

Several experts were bored while refining alchemy. When they encountered something interesting, they gathered together to chat.

Due to the strength of King Yan Li Le, the master of refining the gods gave up his practice to meditate and refine elixirs for ordinary soldiers, which was already a great act of generosity. Suddenly knowing that Zhou Yi, a little-known little official, turned out to be the alchemy master of Dan Cheng Yunxia, ​​how could he not pay a visit immediately?

As for the elixir that Xiaochao Shao refined, and how many soldiers died because of it, they generally didn't care.

God-refining experts have never cared about ordinary soldiers. In their view, the number of refining gods is the decisive force in the outcome of a war.

The lower-level soldiers are only of some use before the decisive battle, or to garrison after occupying the city.

The indifference of the God Refining Masters is not due to how many people they have killed, how hard-hearted or ruthless they are, but because they fundamentally do not regard other people as the same kind.

When talking.

The clouds that shrouded the alchemy room gradually dispersed, and the fragrance of the alchemy also slowly disappeared.

Squeak.

The door of the alchemy room opened. Zhou Yi saw the master of refining the gods outside the door and quickly handed over his hand.

"I have met Master Xuanxing, Master Cao, and Mr. Yu..."

"Master Zhou, there is no need to be polite!"

"The old Taoist got a volume of the Alchemy Sutra of the Sages a few days ago. There are some parts that I can't understand clearly. I have to ask Master Zhou for advice when I have time."

"Master Zhou's elixir becomes Yunxia. I don't know what kind of elixir he has refined. Let us see it."

"Twenty Xialongs, the old Taoist guesses, they are at least second-grade elixirs!"

Zhouyi understood Tao Yin Shen through the Taoist scriptures. Although he did not have a Taoist title, he was still a Taoist priest with a good foundation. It would not be wrong to call him a real person.

The Alchemy Grandmaster can also be called the Zhou Grandmaster, which makes Zhou Yi's noble status even more obvious. However, the people present are all real gods of Lian Shen. They have been alive for a hundred or two hundred years and their eyelashes are empty. Even if they don't pay attention to Zhou Yi on weekdays, they can still deduce his character when his mind changes.

Practice in a low-key manner, do not strive for false fame, and be cautious when fighting.

For a monk with this kind of personality, calling him "Grandmaster" will make him wary and make him difficult to get close to him in the future.

Dealing with people with different personalities is a subtle knowledge. It is difficult to understand by reading books. Only if you live a long time will you be able to master it without a teacher.

"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to guess. It is either a high-quality elixir or a Qingling elixir used to eliminate diseases."

A jade bottle appeared in Zhou Yi's hand, and a round blue pill was poured out. It was crystal clear like jade, with a faint spiritual light shining on the surface.

"Is this the sixth-grade Qingling Pill?"

Several god-refining experts looked at each other in confusion. Among them, Xuan Xing, who was the best at alchemy, took out the Qingling Pill he had refined.

The gray grass green color, compared to the one in Zhou Yi's palm, is embarrassingly inferior to the one in Zhou Yi's palm. It is not the same species at all.

"Zhenren Zhou's elixir method is mysterious and far inferior to that of the old Taoist. This level of quality should be the legendary untainted best."

Xuan Xing said with a smile: "However, to eliminate the epidemic, a huge amount is needed. Master Zhou might as well lower the quality so that he can make more furnaces."

"Pindao has finished practicing."

Zhou Yi shook the pill bottle gently, and thousands of Qingling Pills were suspended in the air, densely packed in a large area.

"???"

Several god-refining experts had blank expressions on their faces. This was very untrue. There should be an inverse relationship between the quality of alchemy and its efficiency.

The magical power of Nongwan allowed Zhouyi to refine elixirs like a god with help, and many elixir techniques were directed like an arm. Controlling more than a dozen alchemy furnaces and refining thousands of Qingling pills at the same time, none of them were damaged. In terms of efficiency, it far surpassed the alchemy master.

If it hadn't been for the time it took to temper the elixir, Zhou Yi could have completed the task in an hour.

Xuan Xing praised: "Zhenren Zhou's alchemy is really unique, and the senior fire ghost in the alchemy hall is far behind!"

A group of real God Refiners gathered together, which attracted a lot of attention, and soldiers had already reported it to King Yan.

Li Le stayed up all night, looking at the infected soldiers one by one, urging the advancement of divination and incantation, and rushed over when he heard something happened in the alchemy room.

"Fellow gentlemen, how is the refining of the Qingling Pill going?"

Li Le's tone was slightly pleading, and he said: "This matter is related to the life and death of soldiers. I wish I could study the Alchemy Sutra, and I would like to ask all the masters to work hard."

Whether it was sincere or just for show, the surrounding soldiers all had a favorable impression of King Yan after hearing this.

Xuan Xing and others made a way to reveal Zhou Yi standing at the door, as well as thousands of Qingling Pills suspended in the air.

Li Le looked excited and asked: "Which master refined this?"

Someone immediately told Li Le in detail what had just happened, from the gathering clouds and the overflowing fragrance of elixirs.

Li Le stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Master Zhou, Xiao Wang is very grateful!"

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. This is your duty."

Zhou Yi waved his hand and put away the Qingling Pill, and said: "I slightly improved the recipe last night. These Spiritual Pills can be converted into ten with water, which is enough to cure the epidemic."

hiss!

There was a gasp of air, and the eyes of many god-refining masters looking at Zhou Yi became intense.

Fan Wujiu exclaimed, "Zhenren Zhou uses his mortal body to condense the Yin God. His understanding is extraordinary, and with such an elixir, he will definitely be able to condense the Yang God, and he will be ranked first-class!"

Qin Qiong smiled and nodded. He was embarrassed to brag about himself.
