It was said that Perfected Chi Yao was the most powerful alchemist in the Medicine Immortal Valley. Dan Yang was only famous, but his alchemy skills were average.
Of course, as an outsider, Cheng Xu did not know the exact situation.
"I've met Hu Jiaojiao a few times. Whether it's her talent in cultivation or alchemy, she's above immortality." Perfected Chi Yao pondered and said, "Based on my understanding of that girl, I'm afraid she was jealous of little friend's ability to refine medicine and deliberately set a trap to expel you from the sect."
Cheng Xu wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
He didn't expect that Perfected Chi Yao could actually imagine such a plot.
The key was that he was only an ordinary outer sect disciple back in the Yunzhong sect. How could he possibly attract Hu Jiaojiao's jealousy?
But then again, so that girl's name was Hu Jiaojiao?
"How is it, Master? is it convenient to take brother Cheng to our Medicine Immortal Valley?" Miao Changsheng asked.
"If that's the truth, then there's no problem." Perfected Chi Yao gave Cheng Xu a meaningful look. "It just so happens that a few fellow Daoists from the Yunzhong sect are also at this trade fair. It won't be too late to talk about taking them in after I have confirmed their identities."
Cheng Xu could understand Perfected Chi Yao's suspicions.
And he wasn't afraid of being investigated.
"I will stay in Yuntai Mountain for a few more days. If little friend is interested in joining my Medicine Immortal Valley, I will give you an answer before I leave." Perfected Chi Yao solemnly promised.
Then, he left with Miao Changsheng.
Cheng Xu continued to walk around the trade fair but did not find any valuable data.
Moreover, the high temperature of the CPU caused by the installation of the immortal technique made him very uncomfortable.
After coming out of the trade convention's array formation, he looked at the ground under his feet and tried to use the [ Earth Escape Technique ] that he had just learned. One-third of the true Qi in his body was directly drawn out.
His entire body also disappeared into the ground in an earth-yellow light.
When he reappeared, he was already at the foot of Yuntai Mountain.
"This way, it'll be much more convenient for me to travel in the future."
Cheng Xu was very satisfied with the effect of the Earth Escape Technique.
Just as he was about to use the earth burrow technique to return to the market on the mountaintop, a few black shadows that faintly flitted across the distant mountain forest caught his attention.
In the past, Cheng Xu would not have noticed such a subtle movement.
However, after his graphics card was upgraded to Level 2, his visual perception was greatly enhanced.
"Who's sneaking around?"
Cheng Xu wasn't stupid. The other party clearly wasn't here to participate in the trade fair.
With his current visual perception ability, he could observe the other party's movements from a long distance. Unless the other party was a Foundation establishment realm big shot, they would not be able to detect him at all.
He used cloud steps and subtly followed.
After a while, the black figures stopped.
"As expected, he's from the demonic Dao?"
Judging from their clothes and gloomy temperament, they were obviously not cultivators of the orthodox Dao.
"Strange, what are a group of Qi Condensation realm cultivators doing here at Yuntai Mountain?" Cheng Xu was secretly puzzled. "Could it be that they found something good on the Yuntai Mountain?"
There were three late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators and one peak-stage Qi Refinement cultivator.
He definitely couldn't win in a head-on fight, but why would he have to fight head-on?
He could wait for this group of people to fight with the orthodox cultivators and take advantage of the situation.
At this thought, Cheng Xu was looking forward to it.
However, the next second, the scene in front of him stunned him.
Dozens of demonic Dao cultivators gathered from different directions, with a few foundation establishment cultivators among them. They directly killed Cheng Xu's little scheme in the cradle.
"Damn, they must be planning to besiege Yuntai Mountain!"
"That's not right. There are so many Golden Core realm cultivators on the mountain. Won't they be courting death by going up?"
Suddenly, Cheng Xu thought of a terrifying conjecture.
If he guessed correctly, this group of demonic cultivators in front of him was probably just the tip of the iceberg. At this moment, the surrounding of Yuntai Mountain was probably already surrounded by demonic cultivators.
"Psst~ fortunately, I managed to escape to the bottom of the mountain." Cheng Xu was secretly afraid.
Although he didn't know what the demonic cultivators were up to, Cheng Xu continued to observe them in secret out of curiosity.
If there was really something wrong, he could just escape through the earth.
The most important thing was that if the two sides were in a desperate situation, it could take advantage of the situation and pick up the corpses.
Thinking about it, he had a little anticipation.
Ding! Ding!
"Installation successful. Integrated graphics card 2.0 upgraded to independent graphics card: Evil Eye of 10,000 technique, 0.85."
The sudden system notification made Cheng Xu overjoyed. Before he could react, his field of vision under the night suddenly became as bright as day, and everything in his field of vision became clear.
At the same time, Cheng Xu's pupils began to expand rapidly until they completely occupied the whites of his eyes, and finally formed a pair of deep and evil black vortexes in his eye sockets.
The Evil Eye of 10,000 Technique seemed to enable him to see through illusions and also launch a powerful mental attack on the enemy.
This was only the effect of the incomplete technique. The complete Evil Eye of 10,000 would only be more terrifying.
Unfortunately, the Evil Eye of 10,000 technique consumed a lot of spiritual power, and in just a few moments, more than half of his spiritual power had been consumed.
After the CPU upgrade, Cheng Xu's spiritual power had received a huge boost. It was almost twice as strong as before.
It was obvious how much mental power the evil eye consumed.
He quickly stopped using the Evil Eye of 10,000 technique and his eyes returned to normal.
"Tsk tsk, the feeling is really different after putting on the unique display!"
While Cheng Xu was secretly excited, he opened the [ Alchemy ] application and further optimized the recipe of the Foundation Building elixir.
"Beginning data optimization. Countdown in 2 days, 3 hours, 29 minutes, and 58 seconds."
It turned out that even the optimization speed was much faster than before after the upgrade.
He looked at the hard disk space to see: 404.9MB/512MB
He had thought that he would be able to use it for a long time after upgrading it to 512MB. He did not expect to use up so much in just a few days.
It seemed that he would have to prioritize upgrading the hard disk space in the future. However, the second upgrade would cost 10000 spirit stones.
"Let's see how many benefits we can get from this."
Cheng Xu's eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at the demonic cultivators in front of him.
The night gradually deepened, and the Yuntai Mountain was brightly lit.
Finally, a strange roar resounded through the night sky.
Cheng Xu was so scared that he quivered. He saw that on the top of Yuntai Mountain, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and a large amount of black gas began to gather at the top of the mountain. Under the angry voices of the Golden Core realm experts from all sides, it formed a large array.
At the same time, the group of demonic cultivators in front seemed to have heard the bugle call and rushed to the top of the mountain while howling.
In the sky, a few black shadows let out bursts of wild laughter. They were the Golden Core realm stage big shots of the demonic path.
This series of changes happened in just a few breaths of time, and the cultivators on the Yuntai Mountain simply had no time to react and were locked in the strange array.
"What the hell!"
Cheng Xu stood rooted to the ground weakly, secretly rejoicing that he was not inside and silently watched the fire.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sound of an intense battle soon reverberated in the air. The magic light in the formation on the mountain top glowed.
"Which demon dares to behave atrociously in my Yuntai Mountain!"
An angry shout resounded through the sky. Without thinking, one would know that it was the master of Yuntai Mountain, Daoist Master Yuntai.
"Hahaha, old man Yuntai, did you ever think that this day would come?"
A black shadow in the sky laughed out loud, as if he had some grudge with Yuntai.
But this was not what Cheng Xu was concerned about.
"Perfected Chi Yao and Miao Changsheng are still inside!"
Even though he might not be able to join the Medicine Immortal Valley, he still wanted to build a good relationship with the two of them and get some high-end alchemy knowledge.
If Perfected Chi Yao and his disciple were to die, the shortcut to obtaining alchemy knowledge would be broken.
"Brother Miao, Senior Chi Yao, you guys have to hold on!"
Although he was worried, he could do nothing in the face of a battle of this level.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The battle lasted from night to dawn. Cheng Xu hid in his spot obediently, trembling in fear.
It was only when the black formation on the mountaintop was broken through by a terrifying golden light that Cheng Xu was instantly overjoyed.
At the same time, with the destruction of the great demonic array, all the cultivators on Yuntai Mountain also began to launch the counterattack. The chaotic fighting sound gradually spread from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Very quickly, a few itinerant cultivators fled towards him, each and every one of them in a sorry state.
Cheng Xu took the opportunity to make his way up the mountain.
While looting the corpses, he paid attention to the figures of Perfected Chi Yao and his disciple.
However, he wasn't the only one who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Many cultivators who had escaped would take away the corpses after seeing them, leaving only a few for Cheng Xu.
But even so, it had allowed Cheng Xu to make a fortune.
Especially the corpse of an early stage foundation building cultivator, it was simply fat.
"Senior Chi Yao, Brother Miao, you must hold on!" Cheng Xu carefully walked through the forest. "Even if you're going to die, you have to die in front of me and leave your inheritance to me!"
The next second, he felt a chill behind his back.
Cheng Xu activated his Protective Dipper energy in shock, turned around, and threw out a Setting Sun Finger.
A demonic cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage sneered as he blocked the Setting Sun finger. He had clearly seen Cheng Xu, who was at the late Qi Refinement stage, as his prey.
"Die-!"
The demonic cultivator didn't waste any words. His palm, surrounded by blood Qi, was aimed at Cheng Xu's face.
However, what welcomed him was a pair of terrifying eyes that were twisted into black holes.
Before the pitiful demonic cultivator could react to what was happening, his sea of consciousness was thrown into chaos by a terrifying spiritual attack. He screamed and fell to the ground, his body twitching.
As Cheng Xu retracted his ten thousand evil eyes, he stepped forward with cloud steps and broke the demonic cultivator's neck with a stomp.
He quickly plundered all the valuables on the demonic cultivator and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a low voice from not far away.
"Fairy, don't run! Isn't it great to stay and have fun with me? "
Cheng Xu shook his head as he listened. He didn't intend to be a busybody, but if he had the time, wouldn't it be better to pick up a few more corpses?
But that fairy seemed to have noticed him as well.
In the next second, a familiar but slightly embarrassed figure flew toward him. The light and color under her feet seemed to be some kind of profound movement technique, but also like some kind of powerful magic treasure.
"Fellow Daoist, run! The thief behind us is extremely strong!" The familiar-looking girl warned as she ran.
Cheng Xu was dumbfounded as he watched the girl pass by him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
'Damn it, you're clearly the one who lured the enemy here, alright?'
The demonic cultivator quickly caught up from behind. It was a young man in the Foundation Establishment realm. Given his luxurious clothes and the magic treasures on his body, it was likely that he had a high status among the demonic Dao cultivators.
