Devour

Chapter 231 Deduction

When Cheng Bai and Feng Yong walked out of the secret realm of the royal tomb, this fierce battle that was far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators had ended abruptly. Both sides had disappeared, and the environment in the city had returned to normal, as if they had escaped from a nightmare.

"Who's winning?"

Cheng Bai hurriedly found Yao Yingying to ask.

Yao Yingying said: "No one won. Bo Xuan could not break the demon map immortal weapon, and the demon god who controlled the demon map ran out of strength and could not hold on and retreated to the south."

Mu Si said, "Queen Yao, Lord Bo Xuan has exhausted all his energy to help your Yinsheng City overcome the difficulties. You must remember his kindness."

Yao Yingying blinked and responded, "I didn't ask Bo Xuan to do it. If there is a chance in the future, I will naturally help him."

Mu Si snorted and said, "If Queen Yao doesn't appreciate it, there's nothing to say." Now that Bo Xuan had left, she lacked someone to rely on behind the scenes, so she simply turned around, picked up Feng Yong and floated away.

Feng Yong turned around and secretly glanced at Cheng Bai, lowered his head, and walked away with Mu Si.

Seeing that the matter was settled with almost no losses, Yao Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "I didn't expect that the person I thought was an enemy would inexplicably become a helper, and in the end, nothing happened."

Cheng Bai said: "Will Bo Xuan come again?"

Yao Yingying shook her head and said, "He won't come easily. He is the spirit of Yuhua. He was the best in the Five Continents back then. He was determined to climb the imperial path and achieve immortality. He went there for more than 100,000 years but returned empty-handed. The demon map immortal weapon is very powerful. His determination to become a Taoist was frustrated again here. He may die of old age at the foot of Mount Xumi in the future."

Cheng Bai said: "Will the world's best master also have shadows in his heart?"

Yao Yingying smiled and said, "There are so many geniuses in a region who are the kings and hegemons in their own territories, claiming to be invincible in the world, but they die on the road to becoming an emperor, or are buried on the road to becoming an immortal. If you haven't experienced it, it is really hard to understand the desolation and loneliness."

She changed her mind and said, "The source of Tianhu's injury was forced out by Bo Xuan, and now he is much better. The Life-Taking Pill is no longer necessary, so don't worry too much about it."

Cheng Bai said: "Good people will be blessed by heaven, Sister Yingying, good people will be rewarded."

After a night of tossing and turning, everything is over.

Cheng Bai bid farewell to the queen and returned to the Bailian Mansion. He could not wait to summon Li Tong and announced, "I have broken through to the Wuxiang realm."

Li Tong said: "That's great, congratulations."

Cheng Bai frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the Wuxiang realm can condense its own rune inner elixir? Why didn't I succeed?"

At this time, the runes on the Jianmu in the Dantian were shining brightly, and there were still only three of them, with no new rune inner elixir added.

Li Tong smiled and said, "It's as expected. The runes you sacrificed are all quite good. It's very difficult to comprehend more advanced runes. Your accumulation of understanding of the Great Dao is not enough."

Cheng Bai said: "Will there be any chance in the future? Secret skills are obviously much more difficult than martial arts, and you don't have many good ones in your stomach."

Secret arts are different from martial arts techniques. The ways of inheritance and conditions of performance vary. Many outstanding spells are based on Dao runes and may not be passed down through ordinary secret manuals.

The secret techniques recorded in the inherited magic cube are mostly ordinary minor techniques, mostly at the talisman level, such as the Six Virtues Technique, the Dragon-Seeking and Vein-Exploring Technique, the Ventriloquism Technique, etc. mastered by Cheng Bai.

The secret technique requires rune arrays as the basis to be activated. Some of the inherited magic cubes only record the functions and effects but do not have matching runes to help get started. They are for reference only and have no value for cultivation.

Li Tong is indeed the Emperor's Master. He actually has a way. He said leisurely: "In addition to the opportunity of sudden enlightenment, I also have the art of deduction. I can analyze and reconstruct the inner elixir or even the holy fetus, comprehend the runes, and take the opportunity to obtain a new secret technique. You have a good foundation in numerology, so you must be suitable for practicing, but there are some risks."

Cheng Bai hurriedly asked: "What is the risk?"

Li Tong said: "Analysis and reconstruction, and deduction of the Dao runes require a very high level of comprehension. If you fail to successfully comprehend the decomposition of the inner elixir, it will be wasted. The Holy Embryo may be analyzed many times, but it is always not as practical as sacrifice or refining."

Cheng Baidao: "Do I need to obtain runes to learn deduction?"

Li Tong said: "That's not necessary, just meditate more often, I can teach you."

Cheng Bai felt relieved, took out the Lieyan Token and looked at it again and again, thinking: "The location engraved on the back of the token seems to indicate something, maybe there is some treasure hidden there, why not find some time to go and look for it."

Lu Miaoting was awakened by the battle in the air, and came forward to say, "You're back. Someone from the Shengmin Gang came to see you during the day and said that the matter they asked you to do had a result, but the new gang leader is busy with affairs outside, and he will come to visit you in person when he returns to the city in two days."

Cheng Bai was secretly delighted and said, "Mo Ruyu? I've been waiting for him."

Lu Miaoting added, "We are definitely not an ordinary residence. There was such a big commotion just now that some houses in the surrounding four alleys and eight lanes were about to collapse. The White Lotus Mansion emitted a auspicious light to protect them, as if it had magical powers."

"Is it?"

Cheng Bai thought carefully about what Mu Si had just said. It was a miracle that this building had stood for tens of thousands of reincarnations. It must be full of mysteries.

However, he is not interested in studying the old house now, and the deduction method provided by Li Tong makes Cheng Bai unable to extricate himself for a while.

It can not only analyze rune elixirs, rune arrays, etc., but more importantly, it can enhance one's understanding, and its effectiveness is surprising.

In his spare time, Cheng Bai not only studies the art of deduction, but also consolidates his own realm.

This kind of fun did not last long, as an unexpected guest suddenly arrived.

Nie Ziqiong, the prince of Beiwei.

Cheng Bai set up a table and prepared tea in the pavilion beside the lotus pond, and served the guests Wojing ginseng tea.

Over the past ten days, the black dragonfly has transformed the lotus pond into a fresh and refined one.

The sun shines, the breeze blows, the water surface sparkles, and ripples occasionally appear. When summer comes, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond will bloom, which must be particularly beautiful and enchanting.

It is more suitable to receive guests here than using the Black Blade Flying Armor, which has a hidden purpose.

Min Wushuang did not show up. Cheng Bai had a keen sense and sensed that he was hiding nearby. The situation was delicate and it was not convenient for him to show up.

Nie Ziqiong looked around the lotus pond and praised, "The White Lotus Mansion is a place of elegance and refinement, and has a long-standing reputation in the Snow Fox Country. I am a newcomer here, and it is indeed a good house with a beautiful pond and excellent feng shui."

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "Prince Nie has put aside his worldly affairs in his busy schedule, it must not be to come and admire the small pond where lotus flowers have not yet grown."

Nie Ziqiong said, "Yesterday morning, a strange vision of the kingdom of God suddenly appeared between heaven and earth. Did Brother Cheng see it?"

Cheng Bai said with regret: "I heard that there was a battle between several senior masters, and the scene was extremely exciting. I rushed back and it just ended, so I missed it."

Nie Ziqiong tasted the ginseng tea and nodded slightly, saying, "It uses more refined ingredients than the Xuncao ginseng tea from Longmai Sect, but the quality of the tea is not necessarily higher. Using wojing to make tea is a bit too sweet and a little lacking in the ancient charm of agarwood."

Cheng Bai agreed, "Your Highness has excellent taste and good advice."

Nie Ziqiong said: "Heroes are judged by facts. Aren't you and I the same? The power of one person in this world is insignificant. The change of dynasties is just like this tea. Different ingredients will differentiate the superiority and inferiority. Unity makes a fortress strong, pooling wisdom makes wisdom, working together makes victory, and seeking the truth makes the kingdom of God."

Cheng Bai knew the purpose of the visit, and sipped his tea leisurely, "My Lord, what good strategy do you have for dealing with the wars among the races in the heavens and myriad realms?"

After seeing the Sun Chaser army, I realized that the battles in the starry sea were fiercer than I could imagine. The Emperor's son was born to be the son of destiny. If he could not stand out from the endless challenges, life and civilization would eventually be wiped out, and even fall to a worse state than Qiongqi Star.

Nie Ziqiong's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest: "I am gradually building an invincible army. Refining weapons and spiritual medicines is the top priority, and important positions are indispensable. Brother Cheng, are you interested in joining?"

Cheng Bai asked, "What kind of invincible army is this?"

Nie Ziqiong said: "For example, the Jingyan Army of Jingtao Sect is considered a powerful force in the Beilin Continent, but it is far from my expectations. It can deal with the conventional troops of small countries, but it is just a group of cannon fodder in front of the powerful forces in Xinghai."

The so-called conventional troops are the common cavalry and infantry used by the continental countries to fight with cold weapons such as swords, spears, swords and halberds, occasionally paired with some monks, retaining the ancient traditional culture of war.

Cheng Bai nodded silently, and he thought so too.

Nie Ziqiong continued, "A truly large army should include a wide range of tactical options and be adaptable to a variety of harsh environments. Capabilities, costs, output, and tactical applications are all factors that must be considered."
