Chapter 134
The headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division, Courtyard No. 69, Jiazi.
Compared with Courtyard No. 17, where Gu Cheng lived before, this courtyard is undoubtedly much more upscale.
Not only does it have its own door and courtyard, but it is also more spacious, and the decoration is much more exquisite, and it even has an independent kitchen, which is far from comparable to those ordinary lieutenant's dormitories.
This small courtyard is the new home given to Gu Cheng by the Demon Suppression Division after he killed Li Yunhe and his group of evil cultivators.
At this moment, the living room is brightly lit, and the aroma of food that tempts people is spreading, and just smelling it makes people salivate.
"Chief Gu, did you make all these by yourself?"
Tang Lingyu looked at the table of delicacies, and then looked at the black-shirted young man beside him, with disbelief written all over his delicate face.
"Well, I had nothing to do, so I got some monster meat from the cafeteria and tried to cook it with the ancient recipe."
Gu Cheng smiled and handed her a pair of chopsticks:
"This is the first time I've made this kind of medicinal food. How does it taste?"
Tang Lingyu swallowed her saliva, picked up a piece of crystal clear monster meat, and put it into her mouth.
Boom--
In an instant, an indescribable delicious taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue, hitting her taste buds like a volcanic eruption, making her body tremble and her eyes shine.
Tang Lingyu then stopped talking and began to silently destroy the food in front of her. Her elegant movements could not hide her speed, and it was obvious that she loved the dishes on the table very much.
Seeing Tang Lingyu eating seriously, Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile.
The other party's appearance of concentrating on eating made him recall the scene when he was feeding his "pet" in Changle County.
However, compared to the way Miss Xu ate without caring about her image, Tang Lingyu's eating manner was undoubtedly much more reserved.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes tasted five flavors.
Tang Lingyu put down the bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction, wiped the corners of her mouth, and looked at Gu Cheng with a little more complicated emotions.
He obviously has a brilliant talent for martial arts, how come he is so good at cooking?
In this world, what else can he not do? How many secrets are hidden in this Chief Gu?
Tang Lingyu slightly side-glanced, staring at the handsome profile of the young man in black shirt, and a strong curiosity surged in her heart.
"..."
Gu Cheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by this female academic bully. He put down his wine glass and asked casually:
"Lingyu, I see that your cultivation has improved again these days. Are you about to break through the ninth level of the mortal realm?"
"Well, this is all thanks to Chief Gu's encouragement."
Tang Lingyu smiled sweetly, with a bit of girlish cuteness between her eyebrows.
She felt a lot of pressure to practice with a jerk like Gu Cheng, but it was also this pressure that made her practice extra hard, and her cultivation naturally improved rapidly.
"In that case, are you going to practice the third volume of "Blue Dragon Hundred Refinements"? Is the practice of the third volume also stored in the arsenal of the Demon Suppression Division?"
Gu Cheng filled the other party's glass with wine, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.
He had already kryptoned the second volume of "Blue Dragon Hundred Refinements" to the extreme realm, but in order to avoid attracting attention, he had never asked about the subsequent practice.
Now that more than a month has passed, it is time to test the water.
"No, the third volume of the technique is a little special, so it has been kept by the master himself."
Tang Lingyu took the wine glass and shook her head gently:
"When he comes back from Yunzhou City, I will be able to obtain it, but..."
She paused, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes:
"But even if I get the technique, I can't practice it before finding the [treasure] in Tianshui County..."
"Ah?" Gu Cheng was confused.
What kind of divine object is this treasure lost in Tianshui County?
Why does the pharmacy need it to refine pills, and even to practice "Blue Dragon Hundred Refining"?
Notice the confusion on Chef Gu's face.
Tang Lingyu took a sip of wine, looked at the table full of delicacies, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and said:
"This is a long story, listen to me carefully, remember, don't mention it to others..."
"That treasure is called [Shuizhu], which is a magical tool made by Yunzhou's 'General' with a [True Dragon Orb] as the raw material and countless efforts..."
"Shuizhu? True Dragon Orb?"
Gu Cheng frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "Could it be that this True Dragon Orb is the legendary True Dragon's demon core?"
"You can say that, but it's not entirely true."
Tang Lingyu shook his head, with a trace of seriousness in his clear eyes:
"Although the dragon clan is classified as a kind of demon by the world, its bloodline is far more powerful than ordinary demons. When you killed the innate dragon turtle, you should have experienced it deeply, right?"
Gu Cheng nodded slightlyFirst, Jiao Wushang has the blood of a dragon, so his strength far exceeds that of ordinary demons, not to mention the purer blood of a real dragon!
"The real dragon gem contains great power. The aura it emits can greatly improve the quality of the elixir.
And it itself is also the supreme material for refining magic tools, far beyond the ordinary demon core."
Tang Lingyu's voice is crisp and pleasant:
"Tianshui County has many water systems, and the largest of them, the 'Tianshui River', runs across several counties. The livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people depend on it. However, the water monsters headed by the Jiaolong Palace are making trouble here and causing harm to the area."
She paused and continued:
"In order to control the flood, the general specially refined the [Sticking Water Pearl] with the real dragon gem. With it, the dragon water monster can be suppressed and the area can be protected, but..."
"But a year ago, this Dingshui Pearl was stolen by the 'White Fox Thief', right?" Gu Cheng took over the conversation.
"Have you also heard about the fox demon?"
Tang Lingyu looked at him in surprise, then nodded gently:
"The fox demon possesses a very special magical power that can ignore the forbidden formations and come and go as she pleases. Therefore, no matter how strict the forbidden area is, it is useless to her."
"That night, if Master hadn't happened to use the Dingshui Pearl for something and caught it on the spot, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark..."
"Then how did the Dingshui Pearl end up in the outside world?" Gu Cheng asked.
"Master, he practiced "Blue Dragon Hundred Refinements", and there is a subtle connection between him and Dingshui Pearl. After he noticed something was wrong, he chased all the way and finally caught up with the white fox thief."
Tang Lingyu said here, with a hint of resentment in his tone:
"The fox demon saw that he could not escape, so he used the secret method of the fox demon clan to throw the Dingshui Pearl thousands of miles away, and fled in another direction."
"Master decisively gave up the fox demon to find Dingshui Pearl, but before he found it, the connection between him and Dingshui Pearl was cut off. It is very likely that he was robbed by a third party."
"Now, the treasure must be hidden somewhere in Tianshui County!"
"Will it be taken out of Tianshui County?" Gu Cheng couldn't help asking.
"No." Tang Lingyu shook his head, with a firm face.
"I heard that when the general was refining the 'Fixing Water Pearl', he used a secret method to connect this treasure with the ground veins of Tianshui County.
Once it leaves the territory of Tianshui County, the Dingshui Pearl will lose the nourishment of the ground vein energy and will disintegrate in a moment."
"So, unless someone swallows and refines the Dingshui Pearl, or recasts it into another magic weapon, this treasure will never leave Tianshui County."
"So that's it..." Gu Cheng's face showed understanding.
No wonder the Jiaolong Palace's Jiaolongs would mobilize so many troops.
He heard that the old Jiaolong King's cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the Spiritual Sea Realm for many years.
If he can get this Dingshui Pearl made from the True Dragon Orb, swallow it and refine it, breaking through the bottleneck is just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
If the old Jiaolong really breaks through, wouldn't the entire Tianshui County be in great trouble?
"Chief Gu, you have been practicing for such a long time, you must have noticed the special features of this "Blue Dragon Hundred Refinements"?"
Tang Lingyu suddenly changed the subject and continued to reveal:
"The reason why it is so difficult to practice is that it is not tailor-made for the human race, but is improved from the fragments of an ancient dragon clan technique!"
"Because of this, the later the practice of this "Blue Dragon Hundred Refinements", the more the requirements for practice are like those of the dragon clan.
Breaking the mortal realm can also be supplemented with elixirs But if you want to break through the innate realm, you must use the True Dragon Orb. "
Seeing that Gu Cheng was silent, Tang Lingyu quickly comforted him:
"But... Chief Gu, you don't have to worry. Although this True Dragon Orb is precious, it is not unique.
Not to mention the distant past, it is said that there is one hidden in the inheritance secret realm of Yunzhong County... When the time comes, you and I will definitely find that treasure together!"
"Well..."
Gu Cheng nodded slightly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Tang Lingyu's revelation completely confirmed his previous guess.
This "Blue Dragon Hundred Refining" is indeed not a normal person's practice method. No wonder it is so anti-human to practice it, and even needs a divine object like the True Dragon Orb in the future.
In this way, his Qi Refining cultivation may be temporarily stagnant again.
But Gu Cheng didn't care too much.
After all, he is now practicing three methods at the same time. Before both the body and spirit training have reached the ninth level of the innate, improving the Qi training is not a top priority.
"I have the Blood Sword Sutra for the body training method, and as for the innate training method for the spirit, it depends on the inheritance treasure house of that soul refiner..."
"I don't know what's going on with General Hu. I asked him to help find the ancient zither 'Dead Wood Dragon Song'. Do you have any clues now?"
