Chapter 35 Covenant Chapter 3
Xu Fu has seen the toughness of Gu worms. Before, he used spiritual fire to burn them to ashes, but now that the Gu worms have entered his stomach, he can't swallow the spiritual fire into his stomach, right?
"Swallow the spiritual fire...into...the belly?"
A bold idea came to Xu Fu's head. Then he took out the only two spirit fires he had on him. One was the red beard fire given by his senior sister, and the other was the reward from the Danyuan Conference. Xu Fu hadn't seen it yet.
Xu Fu lit another spiritual fire, and the blue-white flame burned immediately.
"Blue flower fire?"
Xu Fu was a little surprised. This was the first kind of spiritual fire he had ever seen, but it was a pity that he accidentally extinguished it. In Xu Fu's heart, this had always been a regretful thing. He didn't expect that things were unpredictable, and he actually got it again. A blue flower fire made Xu Fu even happier than getting a higher grade spiritual fire.
Thinking about the fact that I had accidentally caught the spiritual fire before, and it didn't seem to feel unbearably hot, maybe my internal organs could withstand the spiritual fire!
However, if you are just burning Gu insects, you shouldn’t need to be of a high level, right? Don't kill the poisonous insects and burn your stomach.
Xu Fu thought for a while, put away the two spiritual fires, straightened his clothes and ran quickly towards Shangyang City. Just in case, you need to prepare several kinds of spiritual fire to be safe.
After entering Shangyang City, Xu Fu went straight to Yi Baoxing. In terms of the complete collection of treasures, that place is naturally the first choice, and the money was given to Ling Ao, so even if there were any elsewhere, he couldn't afford them.
Xu Fu didn't stay too long and went directly to the elixir hall and took all the spiritual fires on sale into his arms, including eight kinds. Fortunately, these are low-grade spiritual fires below the third grade, otherwise he would not be able to owe so much on credit with his copper Yibao money alone.
Regardless of other people's surprised looks, Xu Fu hurriedly left Yi Baoxing and returned to the woods outside the city.
Xu Fu now also understands that Shangyang City can be said to be the territory of the black devil. For him, he must not stay for a long time. There may be other flutes that can arouse the poisonous insects in his body.
Back in the woods, Xu Fu carefully checked around to make sure no one was following or ambushing him, then he found an open space to sit down and started his own plan to get rid of the poison.
Xu Fu placed all the spiritual fires on the ground and picked the lowest grade spiritual fire.
First-grade spiritual fire has just joined the ranks of spiritual fires and cannot be used to refine spiritual elixirs. It is generally only used by new alchemists to practice. Its spiritual power and heat are not much stronger than ordinary fire.
Xu Fu didn't even bother to remember the name of the spirit fire. He took a few deep breaths, calmed his heartbeat, and lit the spirit fire.
The light red spiritual fire trembled slightly and looked no different from ordinary fire.
Xu Fu twirled his fingers and slowly moved his hand closer to this ordinary-looking spiritual fire.
"It doesn't hurt!"
Xu Fu was pleasantly surprised to find that his fingers were not damaged at all when burned in the spiritual fire. The slight burning sensation was actually very warm and comfortable.
"Spiritual fire really can't hurt me. In that case..."
Xu Fu was secretly happy, and carefully stretched out his tongue, and then licked the spiritual fire fiercely.
fine!
Xu Fu was overjoyed.
"But how do you eat this?"
Thinking of this, Xu Fu was in trouble again.
"Did you eat the Spirit Fire Fold?" Xu Fu felt ridiculous when he thought about it. The Spirit Fire Fold was rolled out of grass and trees, and he was not a cow or horse, so how could he eat it?
"What to do? What to do? What to do?"
Xu Fu felt that his scalp was about to be scratched. His attempt to swallow fire and kill the poisonous insects was too shocking. Even if he asked the ninth-grade alchemy saint, he would not be able to explain it.
After thinking for a long time, until the spiritual fire was about to go out, Xu Fu couldn't think of a serious solution. He just felt that his head started to hurt.
"No matter what, just treat yourself as an animal today!"
Xu Fuxin hesitated, picked up the spirit fire that had been burning for a long time, carefully broke off the top section, raised his hand and threw it into his mouth.
Xu Fu didn't dare to chew, so he swallowed it hard. He felt a warm current from his throat, down his chest and into his stomach. It was like swallowing a swallow of hot water, and then there was no movement as if it had disappeared into the sea.
"Is this the end?" Things seemed to be simpler than Xu Fu thought.
After waiting for a while, he felt that there was nothing unusual in his belly. Xu Fu was finally sure that the spiritual fire would not burn his internal organs, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He ignited several other spiritual fires one after another and swallowed them into his belly in the same way, but he still felt nothing in his belly, which puzzled Xu Fu.
"Is this method not working? Or is the level of spiritual fire not high enough?"
Xu Fu looked at the last two spiritual fires, only the red beard fire and the blue flower fire were left.
"It seems that we are really not destined for each other."
Xu Fu reluctantly glanced at the blue and white fire in his hand. He originally thought that he could return it to his master later, but now his life was at stake, so he didn't care so much.
The blue and white fire is worthy of being a fifth-grade spiritual fire. It is obviously hot and unbearable as soon as you take it in. When you swallow it, you feel that your throat is burning. Until it enters your belly, Xu Fu can still feel the burning of this spiritual fire.
This feeling was really uncomfortable. Xu Fu endured the nausea and burning heat and immediately used his spiritual power to protect his organs.
After a while, the scorching heat dissipated, and a very pure spiritual power seeped out from the internal organs. The pain in the house immediately subsided. Xu Fu hurriedly incorporated this spiritual power into the sea of qi to refine it.
After running the Chaos Mental Technique for more than ten weeks, Xu Fu took out a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes. It was already dark.
Xu Fu stood up and stretched, and couldn't help but sigh that this chaotic mind method was really wonderful. The spiritual power that suddenly appeared, Xu Fu was almost certainly contained in the spiritual fire he had swallowed before. This spiritual power was so pure that it was unbearably hot at first, but every time it circulated for a week, the heat became less intense. By the end, Xu Fu felt warm all over his body, as if he was basking in the sun on a sunny day in the twelfth lunar month.
"I didn't expect that even spiritual fire can be refined. Could it be that this mental method can really refine all the spiritual objects in the world?"
Xu Fu felt happy and secretly congratulated himself on his good luck.
"You still have to practice hard!"
Xu Fu thought of the two previous fights. He was originally a little complacent about his cultivation, but he was beaten almost to pieces by Hei Jia with a few punches. Then he was teased by Lin Guang, but he couldn't beat him. In the end, he was forced to I had to take the risk of swallowing fire to extinguish the poison.
When a person is weak and bullied, it is the right thing to do wherever he is.
When he was hungry, he would catch a pheasant and hare. When he was thirsty, he would go to the river to drink some water. The rest of the time, Xu Fu had been studying the Gale Wind Technique in the woods. Now this was the only trick he could master. After all, it was a real seventh-level technique.
Three days passed by in a flash, and the poisonous bugs did not attack. Xu Fu patted his belly with satisfaction, but he was a little confused.
"Should we go to Shangyang City?"
Now that the worms in his body should have been removed, he no longer had any worries. It would be a safe move to return to Shao Mall honestly. But Xu Fu still has the hidden danger of the Qixin Pill that has not been eliminated, and he will have trouble sleeping and eating even if he thinks about it when he goes back. The black demons are mysterious and unpredictable, and each of them has profound cultivation. It is impossible to find a new way to resolve the hidden danger of the Qixin Pill.
But thinking about Hei Ren, Zhu Ye, and the almost empty secret room, Xu Fu still felt a little guilty. If he went there, he would be in trouble!
"Seeking wealth and risk, fight it out!"
Xu Fu thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, and strode towards Shangyang City.
After entering the city gate, Xu Fu went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. As for how to deal with himself in the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Fu had already made a plan in his mind.
In just a few days, this is the fourth time I have entered Shangyang City. Every time I have a different mood. I didn't expect so many things to happen here.
"I don't know if she's home yet." Xu Fu touched the warm beads on his wrist and thought of the scene when he first entered Shangyang City.
Soon they arrived at the city lord's mansion, and Xu Fu quickly calmed down. Standing at the door, Xu Fu suddenly felt a little panic again. In his eyes, the seemingly peaceful and peaceful City Lord's Mansion had turned into a black ferocious beast with sharp mouth and fangs. It was staring at him eagerly at this moment, which made him feel like he was about to take action. The urge to run.
"Excuse me, is this Master Xu?" A guard saw Xu Fu standing still at the door. He looked carefully and stepped forward to salute.
"My surname is Xu." Xu Fu responded blankly.
"It's really Master Xu."
The guard was a little surprised and said: "The commander-in-chief gave instructions a few days ago that if Master Xu comes to visit, he must be treated as a distinguished guest. Master Alchemist, please come with me."
"It seems that I have been expected to come for a long time, but there are also things you didn't expect!" Xu Fu thought, suddenly feeling a little more angry. It's this group of people who tricked themselves into taking the poisonous pill and acted so coquettishly, it's really disgusting. But they didn't know that they had killed the Gu insect, and they might be able to use it to do something.
After the guard invited Xu Fu in, a maid immediately came to guide him. The maid took Xu Fu very respectfully to an exquisite guest room. After preparing tea and snacks, she bowed and left.
Xu Fu learned his lesson this time and didn't dare to eat casually. He didn't even sit on a chair. He just looked around carefully for fear of another trap. Not long after, he heard the sound of footsteps.
"Xiaoyou Xu, you're fine!"
Lin Guang opened the door and came in with a smile on his face, as if he looked very familiar with Xu Fu.
"Thank you." Xu Fu replied coldly.
"It's human nature for me to feel unhappy, little friend. Don't blame me. I'm just following orders."
"Get rid of this Gu worm, and I will join you." Xu Fu didn't waste any time and explained his purpose of coming straight to the point. It is not easy to deceive Lin Guang, an old fox. How to make Lin Guang believe in him? This is what he has been doing today. To think about it, he had to pretend that he hadn't gotten rid of the poison yet.
"I can't decide on this, I still need to find the city lord." Lin Guang said and made a "please" gesture.
Lin Guang didn't care at all about Xu Fu's cold attitude towards him. As he walked, he introduced Xu Fu enthusiastically, as if he regarded him as one of his own.
"That's the black armor, you guys have fought against each other before." Lin Guang pointed at the big man who was practicing boxing in the martial arts field and said.
"Isn't it boring for him to wear armor like this all day long?" Xu Fu asked in confusion.
"If the armor is removed, will it still be black armor?" Lin Guang smiled helplessly.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded from Xu Fu's ears, and a black shadow passed by Xu Fu's ears, startling Xu Fu.
Taking a closer look, he saw a short arrow with black feathers firmly nailed to the pillar of the corridor in front of him.
When Xu Fu saw the black feathers on the arrow, he became even more panicked. The scene of shooting the sixth-grade monk that night was still vivid in his mind. He didn't expect that today he would almost become a dead soul under the arrow.
Xu Fu hid behind the pillar as fast as he could, cursing himself for being too careless for being so lazy in this dragon pool and tiger's den, not realizing that there was a powerful archer ambushing around.
"Xiaoyu! Stop making trouble!" Before Xu Fu could speak, Lin Guang pretended to be stern and shouted from the side.
Xu Fu looked in the direction of the arrow and saw a slender woman in red clothing leaning on the roof and fiddling with a small black bow in her hand.
The woman wore a mask on her face, and her appearance was invisible. Her hair was tied randomly on her head with a wooden hairpin. She frowned slightly and had sharp eyes. After glancing at the two of them, she turned over and went to the other side of the roof. Side, no more trace.
"Xiaoyu is joking, don't mind, little friend." Lin Guang said with a faint smile.
"Her name is Kuroba?"
Xu Fu looked at the black-feathered arrow and asked with lingering fear.
"Do you recognize her, little friend?" Lin Guang said somewhat surprised.
"I don't recognize him, but I can guess that he is one of your black demons when I see this." Xu Fu pointed at the arrow, looked back at Lin Guang, and asked: "Why do you have to call him black? Black armor and black feathers." It all sounds so awkward.”
"Her name is Black Feather Arrow." Lin Guang corrected: "The so-called name is just a code name. Such naming can be regarded as the tradition of the black devil. Taking black as the surname and the name of the object are passed down from generation to generation."
"Then you also made up the name Lin Guang?"
"Here, you can also call me, Black Fan."
Xu Fu carefully looked at the folding fan in Lin Guang's hand. There was faint spiritual power on the fan bones. This must not be an ordinary fan.
"How many black demons are there in total?" Xu Fu suddenly asked.
"We can wait until you become a black devil to talk about this."
While talking, the two of them had walked to a living room. As soon as he sat down, someone came in a hurry. It was none other than Xing Shande, the temporary city lord.
"Sometimes you are greeted from afar, but some are welcomed from afar!" Xing Shande said polite words while walking over quickly to greet him.
"I want to join the Black Devil." Xu Fu said straightforwardly.
Xing Shande was stunned at first, glanced at Heishan, and then said with a smile on his face: "It seems that little brother knows a lot!"
"Black Fan has already told me." Xu Fu said calmly.
Xing Shande looked at Xu Fu who spoke firmly and thought for a moment, then said: "To join the Black Devil, you need someone to recommend you."
"I would like to introduce Xiaoyou Xu to become a black devil." Heishan said seriously from the side.
"Since the second elder recommended it, then come with me." Xing Shande said and led Xu Fu to the alchemy room. Black Fan stopped at the door and did not follow him in.
This was the second time Xu Fu came to this alchemy room, and he was inevitably a little uneasy.
"Have you ever heard of the Dark Devil before?"
At this time, there were only two people in the alchemy room, Xing Shande and Xu Fu. Xing Shande stared at a painting on the wall and asked Xu Fu calmly, as if chatting at home.
"I heard it from a friend." Xu Fu replied cautiously, without letting go of his guard at all. The behavior of the people in the Dark Devil was unpredictable, and he was afraid that the acting lord of Shangyang City in front of him would suddenly launch a cold arrow.
"What did your friend say?" Xing Shande asked again.
Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, then truthfully told Xing Shande the legends about the black devil that Ling Ao had told him.
"I'm afraid your friend heard it too, right?" Xing Shande seemed to be able to guess the answer, and without waiting for Xu Fu's reply, he immediately said: "You can't blame him, the black devil is indeed a bit spooky and terrifying in the eyes of the world, those Rumor has it that the black devils don’t bother to defend themselves, and the pure will become pure themselves, and the turbid will become turbid.”
After hearing these words, Xu Fu felt a little disdainful. He thought to himself, "How dare you pretend to be aloof when you are already testing Gu pills on others?" It seems that to join the Dark Devil, you must first learn to pretend.
"When the Black Demon was first established, it aimed to punish traitors and eradicate evil in order to rectify the world. Unfortunately, it was too arrogant. Although it could intimidate Xiao Xiao, it also attracted a group of wealthy sects from all over the world to attack. In that bloody battle a hundred years ago, the Black Demon was almost destroyed. Only a few dozen people escaped, and from then on the black devil disappeared and recuperated his strength." When Xing Shande said this, he turned to look at Xu Fu, with a smile of relief on his face, and then said: "Although It was not your intention to join the Black Devil, but being recognized by the Black Fan Elder can be regarded as a predestined relationship with me, the Black Devil. You don’t have to worry about the poison, as long as you take the poison on time to suppress it, you will be safe."
"I have agreed to join the Dark Devil, why can't you remove the poison from me?" Xu Fu asked angrily.
"Three years later, as long as you don't betray the Black Devil, it will naturally be removed for you."
"You're not going to lie to me. I've never heard of a method to get rid of poisonous insects."
"This method of getting rid of it is passed down from word of mouth, and it is too shocking. You can be forgiven for not knowing it."
"In this case, I have nothing to say." Xu Fu said helplessly.
"The Dark Devil doesn't have many rules, but there are three you must remember."
When Xing Shande said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he said seriously: "First of all, once you have fallen into the dark devil, you are a brother. I don't need to hold you accountable for what you did before, but in the future you will never kill each other."
Xu Fu suddenly thought of Black Blade, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the acting city lord already knew what happened in the basement. Knowing this and still being able to greet him with a smile, this acting city lord's palace is a bit scary.
"Second, the black devils have things to do and things not to do. They must not kill innocent people indiscriminately, commit adultery, or plunder."
"Third, don't expose your identity at will, let alone reveal things about the black devil to outsiders."
After Xu Fu heard the third article, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a little doubt suddenly appeared.
