Wen Qiao and the others stayed on the city wall all night.

It's already dawn, but the sky doesn't have a hint of dawn. It's still a piece of darkness, obscured by clouds, as if the whole world has fallen into darkness.

According to what Jing Jue said earlier, when there is a flood of soul beasts, it is good to have two hours of light in a day, and this time is noon. Because noon is the time when the sun is at its strongest, it is also the time when the yang energy is most prosperous, so he has some restraint on soul beasts.

After leaving the city walls, they returned to the inn.

Last night was the first night of the arrival of the wave of spirit beasts. The battle was not fierce, and there was no loss. Sky Array City did not force the practitioners in the city to guard the city and move freely with them.

Although Jing Jue was on the same road with them, he did not live in the inn, but rented a house near the inn with some practitioners, which could save a lot of money.

Wen Qiao and the others were not surprised. Jing Jue's dejected appearance clearly told others that this disciple of the Yuhun family was very poor now, so poor that he could only squeeze in cheap houses with others. In contrast, Wen Qiao and the others who could afford to live in a small inn were considered local tyrants.

After saying goodbye to Jing Jue, Wen Qiao and the others returned to the inn.

Ning Yuzhou and his son were sitting in the inn, waiting for them to come back. Provide you with wonderful \fiction reading.

Seeing them, Ning Jichen asked, "Are you all right?"

"No, it's good." Shi Wuming said with a smile, "I met an interesting person."

The person he said was interesting made You inexplicably feel that the person was very strange. It was probably Shi Wuming, who usually hangs around, but rarely loses the chain at critical times.

"Who?" Ning Jichen asked curiously.

Shi Wuming looked at Ning Yuzhou and said with a smile, "His name is Jing Jue, he is said to be a member of the Yuhun Family, this Yuhun Family should be related to the soul beasts, he came to Tianzhen City this time to take advantage of the heavens. The king-level defense formation of the city is sheltered, captures suitable soul beasts, and refines them into the soul beasts of life."

Ning Jichen was stunned for a moment, "Is there anyone who can take soul beasts for their own use?"

"Naturally." Ning Yuzhou said with a smile, "This is related to the physique of the cultivator. Presumably, Jing Jue should be a kind of body of heaven and yin, and practice a kind of soul-controlling technique. It seems that the Jing family should be the answer. A family born of spirit beasts."

Listening to his explanation, everyone felt that it was easier to understand.

Wen Qiao said thoughtfully, "It seems that the Jing family is indeed an ancient family in the Soul Beast Continent."

At this time, Wen Tutu took out a box and handed it to Ning Jichen, "Uncle Ning, this is the soul bead we got by beheading the soul beast last night. There are too many soul beasts. After killing one after another, there are many soul orbs that we can't retrieve in time."

When killing soul beasts, some cultivators will collect the dropped soul beads and sell them to alchemists.

However, there is a wave of spirit beasts every ten years in the soul beast continent. There are too many spirit beasts in the spirit beast wave, and the soul beads are too many to be worthless. The alchemists are not short of these, only those high-level soul beads can be sold. bid a high price. However, high-level soul orbs are very difficult to obtain. After all, high-level soul beasts only appear later, and their combat power is very high. It is not easy to kill them.

Last night was the beginning of the spirit beast tide. The strength of the attacking spirit beasts was not high, but the number of spirit beasts was relatively large. .

These were specially picked by Wen Tutu and brought back to Ning Jichen to practice.

Soul Orbs can be used to refine Soul Cultivation Orbs and Soul Accumulation Pills, but Soul Cultivation Orbs are not easy to refine, the success rate is extremely low, and the human world lacks many auxiliary materials, so it is impossible to easily refine Soul Cultivation Orbs. On the other hand, the Soul Containing Pill is easy to refine, and there are materials needed for the Soul Containing Pill in the space, which can be used to train Ning Jichen.

A few people talked for a while and then went to rest.

Now is the initial stage of the spirit beast tide, the level of the incoming spirit beasts is not high, and the practitioners in the city are not in a hurry. When the high-level spirit beasts appear in the later stage, that is the time when all the practitioners must be prepared.

Then Ning Jichen continued alchemy, Wen Qiao and the others went into the space to help build the house.

They dumped the purchased materials from storage bags and piled them on the open space.

The rattan house had fallen apart. After they decided to build the house, they moved the contents out of the rattan house. Wen Qiao asked Shijin python to put away the rattan house, and then transplanted the stone golden python to a mountain and let it live in the house. This mountain reigns supreme and grows freely.

Ning Yuzhou spread out the designed house design drawings and asked them to build according to the design drawings.

Shi Wuming glanced at it and said, "It's very similar to the Qiankun Cave you practiced earlier."

Wen Tutu is not picky about the house he lives in. After taking a casual look, he goes to the side to deal with the materials. If he needs to be refined, he will directly refine it, which will save a lot of effort.

When they were in full swing to build the house, the little unicorn, the big hairball, and the two topaz ants all came to watch the fun, and then helped them carry the materials. Obviously, they all had great enthusiasm for building houses.

Wen Qiao asked Wen Gungun to dig a big hole in the ground and start laying the foundation. Although it doesn't matter if the foundation is not laid in the space, they still didn't save this step. After laying the foundation, we started to build the main body, one Yuanhuangjing, two Yuanzongjing, plus a few beasts. In half a day, the main body was built.

Cultivators build houses so fast that it doesn't take much time at all.

Then decorate the house.

Wen Qiao took out the vines and was about to create some vines for decoration around, when he suddenly found that the little phoenix didn't seem to come over to join in the fun, and couldn't help asking: "Husband, where is Wen Maomao?"

Ning Yuzhou said, "In the Yin-Yang Spring, I'm stealing the water from the Yin-Yang Spring."

Wen Qiao: "..."

Maybe knowing that Wen Qiao was looking for him, after a while, the little phoenix flew over from a distance.

Seeing the fat bird that seemed to be planted on the ground in midair at any time, Wen Qiao was worried that it wouldn't be able to fly, and it would roll like a ball when it fell on the ground.

When the little phoenix landed on Wen Qiao's shoulder, Wen Qiao felt a heavy weight.

Although it is still small, the round body is very heavy, and it is much heavier than before.

Wen Qiao weighed it, and found that it was not his own illusion. The little phoenix was really strong again. It is estimated that he ate too much yin and yang springs recently, so he also grew flesh.

I am really worried that it will become the first phoenix to fly because it is too fat.

But obviously the little phoenix didn't understand its mother's worries, so she screamed at Wenqiao, and asked innocently: What is the mother looking for?

Wen Qiao touched its head, "It's okay, don't eat anything in the space."

"Chirp?" Why can't you just eat it casually? Don't you mean to eat whatever you want?

Little Phoenix obviously couldn't understand why his mother's mind changed so quickly.

"Of course it's because you're getting fatter and fatter, which makes you taboo." Shi Wuming said the fact that Xiao Fenghuang was furious.

The little phoenix chirped sharply, pounced on him and pecked him fiercely, until he hugged his head and jumped, and changed his mind that it was not fat at all.

In the midst of fighting, they finally built the house and decorated it to their liking.

The house designed by Ning Yuzhou is very large - after all, the space area is now expanded, and there is no need to save space, and there is no need to compress the area of ​​the house, so everyone and monsters are equipped with rooms, and they can decorate themselves.

After the house was built, Ning Jichen continued to concoct pills, Shi Wuming and Wen Tutu were responsible for selling spirit pills, Wen Qiao nested in the space and gave birth to all spirit plants, while Ning Yuzhou studied the formation method and performed their respective duties.

After a month like this, the strength of the spirit beasts that attacked the city gradually became stronger, and the Sky Array City began to organize the practitioners in the city to defend the city.

Heavenly Array City has mandatory tasks. Cultivators above the Yuankong Realm must guard the city every ten days for ten hours each time.

It just so happened that among Wen Qiao and the others, Ning Jichen, who had the lowest cultivation level, was Yuan Kongjing. None of them were left behind, and they all had to perform the mandatory tasks issued by the Sky Array City.

"Dad hasn't fought for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to practice more." Ning Yuzhou arranged a task for his father, "Wen Tutu, you follow Dad and pay attention to his safety."

Wen Tutu patted his chest and assured: "Brother Ning, don't worry, I will definitely protect Uncle Ning."

Ning Jichen had no objection. Although he embarked on the path of an alchemist with the help of his son, he was still a cultivator by nature, and alchemy was an assistant instead. He can also understand the reason why his son asked him to make alchemy. In the future, if his son and his daughter-in-law fly to the upper realm, when he stays in the lower realm, he can gain the respect of the world with his single-handed alchemy technique and ensure that he can continue to practice smoothly.

Ning Jichen has no doubts that his son and daughter-in-law will be able to soar in the future, and what he has to do is not to drag them down, maybe their family will be able to reunite in the upper realm in the future.

For the sake of his son, Ning Jichen also fought hard.

The sky was dark, like a black curtain, with no stars and no light penetrated.

It was exactly the time of the day, and it was still an hour and a half before it got dark, but the sky was so dark that people suspected that it was already midnight, and the screams of soul beasts sounded one after another in the distance, and a cold chill permeated the air.

When Wen Qiao and the others came to the city wall, they could feel the gloomy wind blowing. In the distance, there were endless spirit beasts, big and small, ferocious and vicious, attacking the defensive formations on the city without any reason at all.

This was the first time that Ning Jichen and Ning Yuzhou came to defend the city.

When he saw the spirit beast that was rushing towards him, Ning Jichen had a strong psychological quality, and he couldn't help gasping, his scalp tingling. There are too many soul beasts, so many people have a sense of despair that they can't kill them. Maybe they can't wait for the tide of soul beasts to pass, and the cultivation city will be destroyed by them, and all the cultivators will become their food.

As a kind of creature in the underworld, soul beasts naturally also feed on human beings and monsters.

Ning Yuzhou looked at the spirit beasts outside the city that were constantly attacking the Sky Array City, with a calm expression, no one could see anything from this calm face.

As a group, they were stationed together and began to kill soul beasts.

Wen Tutu protected Ning Jichen and did not interfere in his battle, but let him face the soul beast, as long as the soul beast did not cause him fatal injuries.

Wen Qiao also protected Ning Yuzhou to prevent those soul beasts from hurting her weak husband.

Shi Wuming stood on the other side, holding an uncharacteristic spirit sword in his hand, attacked the soul beast directly, and asked, "Brother Ning, what do you see?"

"There are too many soul beasts." Ning Yuzhou said.

Shi Wuming couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly, don't play stupid with him, if there are not many soul beasts, can it still be called the soul beast tide?

"Where do you think they came from?" Shi Wuming said, "Although people in Soul Beast Continent and demon cultivators think they climbed up from Diyuan, the center of Soul Beast Continent, but Diyuan Why are there so many soul beasts? Why do soul beasts go mad every ten years and form a wave of soul beasts?"

Ning Yuzhou took out a stack of talismans, raised his hands to form a fire talisman formation, flew towards the soul beast in front of him, and said slowly: "I also just arrived in the soul beast continent not long ago. Can you guess it? You have to look at it again."

Shi Wuming felt that it was right, and he couldn't compare the current Ning Yuzhou with the emperor who destroyed the world back then.

The current Ning Yuzhou is still too weak, and for that person, he willingly maintains the identity of the weak, and grows up with her slowly.

He sighed inwardly.

There are too many hidden dangers left in the past. If one is not careful, the human world may experience another calamity, which will then involve the netherworld and the demon world.

Until the next day, after ten hours, they left the city wall.

As soon as I returned to the inn, I saw Jing Jue guarding there, and they greeted them happily, "You just went to guard the city?"

Shi Wuming also replied enthusiastically: "Yes, why does Brother Jing come to us when you have time?"

Jing Jue scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, can you go inside and talk? There are many people here."

After waiting for their guest room, Jing Jue turned his eyes on Ning Yuzhou and his son, and asked with a smile, "I wonder who is the most recent alchemist?"

"It's our Uncle Ning." Shi Wuming pointed to Ning Jichen.

Jing Jue immediately said enthusiastically: "Master Ning Dan, I have been looking forward to it for a long time! This time I came here to buy spiritual pills."

"Do you have a spirit stone?" Wen Tutu blurted out.

It wasn't that he doubted Jing Jue, but that after getting to know him, he finally found out how poor he was. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford a decent robe, and they all doubted whether his identity as a royal soul family was real.

Jing Jue didn't care about his doubts, and said with a smile, "I don't have spiritual stones, but my friends have them. They heard that you have spiritual pills here and want to ask you for pills. Your spiritual pills are really popular. Every time I set up a stall, it was robbed by people, and they couldn't get it. Knowing that I knew you, they would find me and ask me to help you ask."

I see.

Knowing that Jing Jue was asking for elixir on behalf of someone, Ning Jichen asked very generously, "What kind of elixir does the other party want?"

"Replenishing Spirit Pill, Qi Qi Pill, Gathering Yang Pill, Chiyang Pill, Yang Yuan Pill..."

Jing Jue said in one breath more than a dozen kinds of spiritual pills, all of which are mainly Xuan-level pills, and there are several kinds of earth-level pills. Among them, the most difficult to refine is Yangyuan Pill, which Ning Jichen is temporarily unable to refine. Rely on his son to practice.

Ning Jichen said: "I can only refine Huang-level pills and Xuan-level pills now, but Earth-level pills can't be made."

Jing Jue paused and asked, "Then your prefecture-level pill..."

Among the spiritual pills that Shi Wuming and the others have sold recently, although most of them are Huang-level and Xuan-level pills, there are also earth-level pills. The price of earth-level pills is naturally higher than the previous two, and they are still of the best quality. Makes people crazy.

They also don't understand why the higher-quality elixir sold by these two people is the best, while the lower-class ones are mostly high-grade and middle-grade. One who specializes in refining Earth-level top-grade pills, and one who specializes in refining low-level pills?
