Chapter 17 The Treasure of Refining Demons
Several people couldn't persuade him, so Chen Nianzhi had to let him go together, and told the clan to take care of him along the way.

Adding up these old and young, the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan has gathered more than 40 Qi training monks, plus more than 20 Chen Clan monks in Pingyang County, there are nearly 70 people in total.

The last time so many people were mobilized was during the Monster Beast Rebellion 60 years ago. At that time, the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan dispatched nearly a hundred monks to the front line to fight against the Monster Beasts. Unfortunately, they were all killed in one battle.

Although they were all cultivators this time, it took four days to arrive at Pingyang County because they were not all the same.

After arriving in Pingyang County, the Great Elder Chen Qingxu received everyone immediately.

In the hall, he stroked his long beard and said, "As early as ten days ago, I ordered someone to open the formation, and Pingyang City and several towns are now not allowed to enter or leave. If there are still magic cultivators, it should have become The turtle in the urn."

Fourth Elder Chen Qingyuan said quickly: "Then what are you waiting for, we will find the person now."

"There are 10,000+ people in Pingyang City. It is not a day's work to find out the magic cultivators." Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said: "And in order to prevent the demon cultivators from fighting and causing unnecessary casualties, we need to be careful."

He said, looking at everyone, and then continued.

"The first elder led twenty monks to sit in the defense formation, and they should not be moved lightly."

"The investigation will be handed over to those of us who came from Qingyuan Mountain."

"..."

In a few words, everyone finalized the plan to investigate the magic cultivator.

According to the plan, in this investigation, the magic repairers will be allocated in groups of five, except for the guards who are guarding the great formation.

In each group, a cultivator in the late stage of qi training will be assigned to guard the safety of everyone, and the other four will be responsible for investigating the magic cultivators.

According to such a detection method, even if the hidden demon cultivator has practiced the method of restraining the breath, he will not be able to escape the cross-examination of the four of them.

Although this method is slow, it takes nearly a month to complete the investigation of Pingyang City, but the advantage is that it is more secure.

In addition to these people, Chen Nianzhi and other three elders of the ninth level of Qi practice are in charge of patrolling, and once they find the magic cultivator, they will personally suppress it.

After the plan was finalized, the Great Elder immediately conveyed the order and asked the city guards to assist in maintaining order, and began to investigate the magic cultivator.

Early in the morning of the next day, the monks of the Chen clan were in the square, testing each mortal's magical energy according to their identity and household registration.

Chen Nianzhi stood on the high platform, looking at the bustling crowd under the stage, and the monks who were testing the spiritual roots, his eyebrows moved slightly.

"It is said that among those powerful immortals, there are often treasures of refining magic."

"That kind of treasure can detect a large number of mortals at one time, and can easily find out the hidden magic cultivator."

"If we have such treasures of refining demons, we don't have to fight so much."

Chen Qingwan, who was on the side, smiled slightly when she heard the words, and she also said with some longing in her eyes.

"It is said that the Qingyang Sect has a treasure of refining magic called Haotian Mirror."

"It is said that the Haotian Mirror is immeasurable in power, and where the mirror light passes, the evil spirits can be turned away, and even the Zifu demons can't resist, and the leisurely demons will even be wiped out on the spot."

"Then such a treasure, even the Purple Mansion and even the Jindan Immortal Clan will covet, and I don't know if my Chen Clan will have the chance to get one after thousands of years."

When the old uncle Chen Changyan heard the words, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Nianzhi.

There was a hint of hope in his eyes, and he smiled after a while.

"Xiao Nianzhi, your immortal fate is the best in our Chen family. I think you may have the appearance of exile."

"I can't see the old man. You practice hard. If you can get the treasure of refining magic in the future, remember to take it to the old man's grave and show it to me."

Everyone heard this as a joke, only Chen Nianzhi's heart was slightly heavy.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered in his heart: "The treasure of refining demons, there will be that day."

Although a group of people were chatting, they did not relax their vigilance. The first day of investigation went well.

By the time of sunset, the crowd had searched for 5000 people, but no Moxiu was found.

This is expected by everyone. Although demons are ubiquitous, almost all the major immortals have hidden demons, but there are often not too many.

After several days of investigation, they were all carried out in an orderly manner. On the fourth day, Chen Nianzhi finally discovered the abnormality.

On the square that day, when a person was brought by the city guard, he looked nervous, and suddenly his face became violent, and he sacrificed a blood-colored skull to the cultivator who was testing.

Fortunately, Chen Nianzhi realized something was wrong early on, and slashed across the sky with a golden light blade.

The human demon was only in the early stage of Qi training, and he couldn't stand against Chen Nianzhi at all, so he was killed by a sword in a flash.

The fifth elder, Chen Qingwan, was alarmed, and stepped forward and took off a human skin mask from the face of the demon cultivator.

The commander of the city guard came over, checked the dead magician, and said.

"The name of this person is Chen Dabao. He is 47 years old this year. He is alone. There has been nothing unusual about him recently."

"By the way, since his parents died more than ten years ago, he has become more withdrawn, and he never imagined that he would be replaced by a demon cultivator."

"For more than ten years, it seems that this magic cultivator has impersonated my Chen family and has been hiding in Pingyang County for some years."

Chen Qingwan said with a gloomy expression.

Pingyang County has second-order spiritual veins. Although most of the spiritual energy is used to protect the city, it is still a treasure for this kind of low-level magic cultivator.

Chen Nianzhi put away the golden light blade, glanced at the corpse of the demon cultivator and said, "Lead the way and visit his house."

The commander of the city guard led the crowd all the way, and soon arrived at Chen Dabao's house.

As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Nianzhi's eyes narrowed, he stepped forward a few steps, opened the cellar in the woodshed, and found dozens of heads hidden inside.

"This is for refining the withered bone demon skull."

Chen Changyan was well-informed, and at first glance recognized the usefulness of these heads.

He told everyone that the Withered Bones Demon Skull was a kind of magic treasure. The Withered Bones Old Devil, who caused the Chu country's calamity a hundred years ago, is the magic weapon that he is good at.

"Back then, the old demon withered bones slaughtered several immortal clans in Zifu and took the heads of tens of millions of mortals in order to refine them into demon skulls."

"It is said that on the day that the magic treasure was born, ghosts cried and screamed for hundreds of miles around, almost turning into a ghost."

"The old demon withered bones relies on the power of the magic treasure, and its strength is almost invincible within the Chu country."

"In the end, it was the former head of the Qingyang Sect who held the Haotian Mirror and other treasures of refining demons, and he was killed in the first battle. The head of the Qingyang Sect was also severely damaged in the battle, and he sat in the sect not long after that. middle."
