Mortal Mage

He drew in the void with his fingertips and began to sort out the veins of the city defense formation. After a while, a dozen runes lingered and wrapped around his body. Then he flicked the runes to the surrounding area of ​​the underground palace of the formation's center, and then grabbed out a hundred or so mid-grade spirit stones and scattered them to the place where the round stone of the formation's center was originally placed.

There was a loud "buzz" sound.

A spherical thrust expanded from the stone room at the center of the formation, and then exploded like a shock wave, pushing the sea water in the boat city to the surroundings.

Finally, the dome of the city defense formation once again enveloped the shattered Zhou City.

"how did you do that?"

"I reopened a port in Xun District and used it to access the main system files of the formation. I turned off the firewall security check and manually forced it to start."

"what?"

"I've told you, but you don't understand."

Zhang Mingxuan was a little excited when he heard Qingling's tone, but he didn't dare to transfer his spiritual sense into his body to check Qingling's expression. He could only give a simple explanation.

Then he rubbed his chest and looked around the empty stone room at the center of the formation.

He had tried too hard to rescue Qing Ling's body just now, and his body was already weak. He also called on his spiritual power to activate the city defense formation. At this moment, his internal organs were cramping and there was a burning pain.

After thinking for a while, he coughed lightly. "Ahem, I still need to regulate my breathing. I may need to use my spiritual consciousness to go inside my body..."

"I'm helping you regulate your breathing, you're not allowed to come in and watch."

Qing Ling quickly stopped him and added, "Just do what you need to do. I will help you recover your five internal organs after my Nascent Soul is adjusted."

"Um...okay then."

Zhang Mingxuan's tone was slightly embarrassed. Now he didn't even have the right to check his own body.

Helplessly, he could only take a step and prepare to leave the underground palace at the center of the formation.

His feet sank and he almost slipped. He looked down and saw a crystal clear purple crystal ball rolling away from his feet with a "clang clang".

He walked towards the purple crystal ball, picked it up, and held it in his hand to examine it.

"This is Zhoucheng's spiritual energy detection stone. It can sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy within a radius of 20 miles. It is mainly used to detect whether there are people nearby who are maliciously casting spells."

"Oh, then why is it here?"

"It was probably left here when Zhoucheng sank."

After hearing this, Zhang Mingxuan felt that this thing seemed to be of little use, so he put it in the storage bag and continued to step out of the underground palace of the formation.

The originally somewhat dry Zhoucheng became wet again, but this time, the corpse of a seventh-level sea monster lay in Zhoucheng.

He first circled around the sea monster for a long time before he could distinguish the head and tail of the sea monster. Then he took out the Ice Wind Sword from the storage bag and, with great effort, broke open the sea monster's head and pushed out a demon pill that was more than a person tall.

"This demon pill is mine!"

Qing Ling's tone was anxious and emotional. "You can't move. Keep it for me!"

"What's the use of this thing?"

"It's of no use to you anyway."

"I'm useful."

Zhang Mingxuan ignored the clear shouting in his elixir cavity, with a smile on his face, he fumbled out the soul lamp bottle from his underwear pocket, held it to his ear, and whispered into the bottle; "Can you use this demon pill to revive?"

"Master, this is a seventh-level demon pill. I don't have such great fortune."

A wailing sound came from the soul lamp bottle.

"Can't it be used?"

"It can be used... Master, but..." The Huofeng in the bottle hesitated for a long time before continuing, "I only need a third-level demon pill to revive, and this is a seventh-level demon pill. Master, keep it for future use."

"We'll talk about its future use later. You revive first."

Zhang Mingxuan gave an order to the soul of Huofen in the bottle.

He wanted to resurrect Lao Fen. First, he was curious about how the monster was resurrected. Second, Lao Fen was the only "person" he could completely trust, because she was his monster slave. He could see through all of Lao Fen's emotions and didn't have to worry about being deceived. Finally, he already felt a little guilty towards Lao Fen. When Lao Fen, who was his monster slave, was killed by Shi Manman, he was completely defenseless.

"Master, slave."

Haofen was very excited.

Seventh-level demon pill, Zhang Mingxuan didn’t know what this meant, but Hao Fen knew it very well.

It takes a thousand years for a monster to level up once, so level seven means seven thousand years. But it is still a monster after all, and if it is not spiritual, it is difficult for it to take human form.

Foxes, rats, dogs, snakes, rabbits, wolves, cats, and deer were born at the beginning of the world. They have been involved in the human and immortal worlds since ancient times. With a little cultivation, they can become spiritual masters that are incomparable to ordinary monsters.

After three hundred years, a fox demon will become a lovely woman in human form. After a thousand years, it will become a jade-like and golden appearance. After three thousand years, it will become a peerless beauty. After five thousand years, it will become an immortal-like appearance. After seven thousand years, it will be like a celestial being incarnated into a human.

Her original cultivation level was only over a thousand years. If she was resurrected using the seventh-level demon pill, she would have gained an extra seven thousand years of cultivation. She had never dreamed of such a rare opportunity. She longed for it very much, but felt that she was not worthy enough to enjoy it.

Zhang Mingxuan had already sensed the excitement in Haofen's soul, so he did not force her. He just gently opened the stopper of the soul lamp bottle and let Haofen make her own choice.

If her spirit comes out, she will be resurrected.

If she doesn't come out, that's fine.

The blue light of Haofen's soul hesitated for a long time at the mouth of the bottle. He was extremely eager and extremely afraid. His heart was full of gratitude towards Zhang Mingxuan. Zhang Mingxuan could feel the emotional fluctuations in his soul.

Regardless of whether Hao Fen can use this magic pill to revive himself, he has already felt that Hao Fen's soul is completely devoted to him.

"Think carefully, if you don't revive this time, you may not know when the next time will be."

Zhang Mingxuan whispered into the soul lamp bottle.

"You want to revive the monster? Absolutely not!"

At this moment, Qing Ling seemed to realize what Zhang Mingxuan was going to do and stopped him sternly.

This persuasion and stop made Huo Fen feel more resolute. He believed that the opportunity was rare and would never come back again. The seven thousand years of cultivation could not be wasted.

When Zhang Mingxuan was about to cover the stopper, a wisp of her soul suddenly floated out of the bottle and entered the demon pill.

"Hyun-ju, stop it!"

Qing Ling struck Zhang Mingxuan's Danqiao with a fierce palm, and Zhang Mingxuan felt a sharp pain in his abdomen immediately. He covered his chest and fell to the ground.

She screamed in Zhang Mingxuan's stomach, "Idiot, what kind of monster did you resurrect? You know this is a seventh-level monster pill. If it is resurrected, even a hundred of me will not be a match."

"Yes...my demon slave..."

Zhang Mingxuan was hit in the Danqiao by Qingling's palm. His face was distorted with pain and he responded with gritted teeth.

"Do you think this sea monster was killed by the heavenly thunder? It was originally a sea monster that wanted to survive the tribulation, but it just happened to happen to be here and now that our oath thunder and its tribulation thunder fell at the same time, causing it to fail. This is my demon pill, you cannot control it, stop it now!"

"No."

"you!"

Qing Ling gnashed her teeth in annoyance, wishing she could borrow Zhang Mingxuan's body right now and kill the soul with a spell. She shouted excitedly in Zhang Mingxuan's Danqiao: "It is difficult for ordinary monsters to control such an opportunity. Once it loses control, both you and I will be hurt!"

"It's not a monster, it's a goblin."

"What? That's even more unacceptable! I'm telling you the finger-guessing method, and you stop it quickly."

"Ma'am, it's too late."

Zhang Mingxuan staggered to his feet, put the soul lamp bottle with two souls still in it into his chest, and quietly looked at the soul of Huo Fen that had entered the demon pill.

Outside the dead demon pill, spiritual energy began to flow and gradually became active.

A soft glow began to appear on its surface.

Afterwards, the blood-red demon pill, which was more than a meter tall, blossomed like a faint red flower.

As the light flickered, a demonic power slowly condensed into a human form, gradually becoming clearer.

A vague outline loomed in the mist of light.

After a dozen breaths, the outline gradually became clear and the details gradually emerged.

A pair of deep eyes flickered in the light, followed by a jade-white face, as if a fairy from heaven had descended to earth, enchanting and charming.

The light faded, and a slender figure gradually emerged, a naked body, half-kneeling in it. She gently stroked her body with her slender hands to confirm her existence, then slowly opened her arms, squinted her eyes, and enjoyed her rebirth.

A bewitching fragrance of skin wafts towards you, that celestial body and jade-like figure captivates you, that celestial face and beauty makes you fall in love with her so deeply that you wish you could have a passionate embrace with her right away.

Zhang Mingxuan's blood boiled, his heart was filled with joy, and he was so excited that he stood there in a daze.

After a long while, she turned her eyes to Zhang Mingxuan, her gaze full of gratitude and respect. She raised her buttocks, knelt on the ground, and said in a soft and clear voice, "Slave, thank you, Master."

"Xuanlu, tell me, what's going on with this fox demon?"

It is the nature of fox demons to control others, and they would rather die than accept being made into a demon slave. This is something everyone in the Cuiyun Immortal Realm knows. It is precisely because it is difficult to take fox demons as demon slaves that many prohibitions have emerged.

When Qing Ling saw this scene, he felt terrified and frightened.

She sensed the fox demon woman kneeling in front of Zhang Mingxuan with her spiritual sense, and her heart was filled with fear.

The fox demon who has been cultivating for seven thousand years is the demon slave of this mortal.

If this matter were to be known by the Cuiyun Fairyland, it would not be settled by a bloody storm.

"Forehead……"

Zhang Mingxuan rubbed his chest and stared blankly for a long time before he took in every detail of the fairy-like body. His heart was already pounding and his thoughts were in turmoil.

After a long time, he finally felt refreshed, so he closed his eyes, steadied his concentration, and whispered to Hao Feng, "You turn into a fox first."
