Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 142 Darkness
When Kui Ao finished setting up the three-door mysterious sea pattern array, it was already less than half an hour later.

Cao Wei had already turned around and came to the beach under the shade of trees, lying on a green bamboo rocking chair, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

There are seas and winds here, small islands and beaches, and spiritual beasts like black panthers as pets, and bodyguards and thugs in the late stage of foundation establishment. What Cao Wei, a gentle and jade-like noble son, lacks is only ten or twenty. The accompanying beauties can have a hearty fight anytime and anywhere.

However, he still needs to abstain from sexual intercourse for a while now, but it would be nice if there are beauties to keep his eyes peeled.

If he were to return to his previous life now, he would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable.He sometimes thought that his previous life was the human world, but who knows, maybe that is actually the real underworld!
And why is life so difficult for a person? Could it be that the people above forgot to burn paper money?

Kui Ao ran over wet, and seeing Cao Wei's appearance, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Wei, are you hot?"

As he said that, with the luck of his monster power, the sea water not far away suddenly rose up, turned into two ice cubes about ten feet high, and landed on Cao Wei's left and right sides.

The icy mist engulfed the place, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a lot.

Cao Wei stretched his waist comfortably, then sat up, and asked: "It's all arranged, have you checked for omissions?"

"I've checked it two or three times, and the formations are properly arranged, absolutely no problem." Kui Ao said with great certainty.

"Then put the bait." Cao Wei said calmly.

When Kui Ao heard this, he said yes, and then took out the blood python's remnant body from the storage bag, turned it into an arc, and threw it towards the sea.

Seeing this, Cao Wei's complexion changed, and his figure disappeared from the rocking chair immediately. With his feet on the sea surface, he captured the python's body and retrieved it from the air with his spiritual thoughts.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong?" Kui Ao asked suspiciously.

"You use this to lure demons?" Cao Wei looked helpless.

"Isn't it okay? Didn't the book say that hunting monsters in the sea requires the use of flesh and blood containing monster power as bait?" Kui Ao asked.

"Then have you considered the cost of this hunt?" Cao Wei asked.

Kui Ao shook his head, it just wanted to kill a few monsters, then go to Youyun Daze early, and return to the parents.

"The bait is enough to use ordinary second-level monsters. This blood python is a fake alchemy monster. The piece of python you threw out is worth at least fifty high-grade spirit stones. How many monsters do you have to hunt to return?" Ben?" Cao Wei said with a slight frown.

For human monks, the price of this monster mainly depends on the amount of monster power it contains, in addition to some unique benefits for cultivation.

If the same kind of monster can be killed in a single encounter, the price will naturally be the highest if the body is intact and the monster power is not consumed at all.However, if it is cut into several sections like this blood python, the value will naturally be much lower.

"Wait a minute, I'll do the math!" Kui Ao began to write on the sand with a bull's hoof.

Take Cao Wei himself as an example as an early-stage monk with dual spiritual roots in the human race. He needs at least five middle-grade spirit stones for his daily practice, and as many as two thousand in a year.

And if you want to be promoted from the early stage of foundation establishment to the middle stage, you need at least 15 years of hard work, and from the middle stage to the later stage, it will take longer, almost five years more, that is, 20 years, and from the later stage to the Jindan threshold, On top of that, add another five years, or 25 years.

Therefore, the spirit energy needed to be refined must have at least 12 middle-grade spirit stones, that is, 1000 two hundred top-grade spirit stones.

However, if a monk chooses the direction of Dharma cultivation during his practice, usually about [-]% of the spiritual energy in it will be used to nourish the physical body, and the rest will be condensed in the dantian and turned into his own mana.

In the same way, if one chooses the direction of physical training, then [-]% of the spiritual energy will be transformed into mana in the dantian, and the remaining [-]% will be used to exercise the physical body.

As for soul cultivators, there are not no such monks, but ordinary monks who want to practice this way, if they don’t have a corresponding natural spirit body, they need to wipe their necks with a knife and turn them into ghosts, so few human monks practice , at most it is used as an auxiliary method.

If a monk at the early stage of foundation establishment with dual spiritual roots wants to be qualified to survive the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, it will take a full sixty years in terms of time alone.

If the aptitude is lower, it will take a hundred years for a foundation-building monk with three spiritual roots, and about 160 years for a four-spiritual root monk.

As for the five spirit root monks, the time needed to simply accumulate mana has exceeded the lifespan of the foundation monks.

After four or five breaths, Kui Ao raised his head and said in a slow voice: "Fifty top-grade spirit stones are almost the same value as an early-stage second-order monster, but if you count the formation, there is also the consumption of its own monster power. This trip needs to hunt at least two early-stage second-tier monsters, or one mid-stage monster to pay back."

"This piece of blood python is the most bait. It takes at most three days in the sea, and all the monster power will dissipate. Do you think you can hunt the monster within three days? You must at least get some monsters in the refining period first. , although the effect of luring monsters is a bit worse, but if you can't hunt them, the loss can be within the range you can accept." Cao Wei sighed.

"Brother Wei, you should have said earlier, in the water mansion, my aunt forced me a lot of first- and second-tier shrimps and crabs, and I thought it was afraid that I wouldn't be full." Kui Ao said suddenly.

As soon as it lifted its front hooves, a large pile of corpses of monsters frozen in the ice appeared on the beach not far away. Among them, apart from forty or fifty crabs the size of a millstone and prawns as long as ten feet, there were also There are several crab generals who are four or five feet high and holding harpoons.

"Are these enough?" Kui Ao asked.

"It's enough, but the bloody smell of shrimp and crab is not enough."

As Cao Wei said, he turned to the black panther and said, "Go to the island and see if you can catch some beasts."

Hearing this, the panther turned around and disappeared into the forest.

"I'll go too." Kui Ao was a little moved.

"You don't need to do such trivial things. After setting up the formation for so long, you should rest for a while and put away these shrimps and crabs first. It is enough to keep one or two first-level ones." Cao Wei said without thinking.

Right now when he is still weak, he can't let this green bull get too far away from him.

"Okay." With a thought in Kui Ao's mind, most of the shrimp and crab corpses on the beach disappeared, leaving only two first-order monster crabs.

"Put this one away first, the demon power will more or less dissipate when exposed to the air." Cao Wei said slowly, pointing at the blood python's remnant body fixed in mid-air.

"Brother Wei, do you want to eat snake meat? I heard from my father that the snake demon is the most ecstasy, and the taste is endless. I think this snake meat must be delicious!" Kui Ao asked.

"Then I really have to give it a try." Cao Wei nodded lightly upon hearing this.

It's just that his expression is a bit weird. This uncle is indeed a bastard. Can you say such words to your inexperienced son?

If my aunt finds out about this, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the family.

Kui Ao took the body of the python in front of him, and then asked, "Brother Wei, what do you want to do, boil it or roast it?"

"Let's keep it simple, just bake it." Cao Wei said.

Originally, the best way to use the flesh and blood of monsters is to refine it into elixir, and the worst thing is to use it as a medicinal diet, so as to make the best use of it.

But right now, the place is crude, so we have to do things cheaply.

Cao Wei thought for a while, reached out to wipe the storage bag, took out Yidan stove, then turned his hand and took out Qingliu sword, cut off several large pieces of snake meat from the zhang long python body, and put it on each piece. After a few strokes, the flower knife was changed, and then it was put into it.

Alchemists are monks who are best at controlling the heat, so they usually have a lot of attainments in the small path of cooking.

Then he stretched out his hand to hold it again, and a large cloud of sea water rose from the sea not far away.

In an instant, the seawater evaporated under the roasting of the spiritual fire, leaving only a small lump of salt.

With a turn of Cao Wei's magic power, it was shaken into powder, and the impurities in it were removed with a sweep of consciousness.After finishing this, he took out a jade box and named it as a blooming box.

Later, some medicinal materials were taken out from the storage bag and used as condiments.

While the snake meat was turning over in the fire, and the grease sizzled, he smeared it over and over again.

Soon, the air was filled with a lingering strong meaty aroma, and Kui Ao turned around by the alchemy stove, sucking the saliva from the corner of his mouth into it from time to time.

"Brother Wei, are you alright?"

"Why are you in a hurry? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Cao Wei said calmly.

"Why eat tofu, I want to eat meat!" Kui Ao stretched his neck, looking at the snake meat in the fire from the round vent on the furnace body.

"Don't all cows eat grass?" Cao Wei joked.

"Brother Wei, I'm Kui Jiao, not a cow." Kui Ao raised the hoof of the cow, and knocked loudly on the furnace body.

After a while, seeing that the fire was almost ready, Cao Wei took out a large piece of jade, swung his sword away, and cut it in half. Two chairs, one large and one small, were made.

Several large pieces of golden snake meat flew out of the alchemy furnace and landed on the jade table.

Kui Ao immediately rushed over happily and buried himself in eating.

Seeing this, Cao Wei chuckled. He sat on the jade chair, made the green willow sword the size of a dagger, cut the barbecue into small pieces, and ate it gracefully.

At this time, the black panther rushed out of the forest in a hurry, threw the first-order monster with the tiger's head and sheep's body in its mouth to the beach, and then ran to the edge of the jade table, whining.

Seeing this, Cao Wei took a piece of blood python barbecue and handed it over. Then he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his mouth. Then, wrapped in the sword light all over his body, he flew forward with the monster and two monster crabs.

He cut the two monster crabs into pieces and threw them into the sea, then chopped up the monster with the head of a tiger and the body of a sheep, and threw it into a strait, then flew a little farther, and threw some demon spirits at the entrance liquid.

After finishing these things, he turned back to the beach.

At this moment, there were only some residues left on the jade table, and Kui Ao was full of food, he raised his head and asked, "Brother Wei, this is all right, can it attract monsters?"

"Who knows, this place is near the sea after all, and there are not so many monsters, so all we can do is wait." Cao Wei said unhurriedly.

After speaking, he lay down on the rocking chair again, closed his eyes and rested.

In fact, hunting monsters is not a matter of stable income.

If no monster enters the urn in the next two or three days, then the three first-rank monsters will be in vain, and nearly ten thousand low-grade spirit stones will be lost all at once.

If it was an ordinary casual cultivator, they could only trade time for cost, and use the flesh and blood of ordinary beasts as bait, instead of throwing three heads of first-rank monsters in such a big way all at once.

For the Zongmen, it is more common to use the mountains as cages to raise a large number of first- and second-tier monsters, and harvest them every once in a while, so that the income can continue to flow.

But casual cultivators have no choice, they can only depend on the sky to eat, and they have to fight with their lives, and more importantly, they have to learn to calculate gains and losses.

Several hours later, the sky darkened.

Kui Ao was still standing on the beach, staring eagerly ahead, the sea water was a little turbulent, and several monsters were fighting for the corpse of the monster crab.

Seeing this, the green bull looked at the three palm-sized arrays around him from time to time, and saw a soybean-sized light spot appearing on one of them, and suddenly became a little irritable.

The aura of this size only represented the monster beast that came in, and it was only at the first-order level, not the second-order monster it was waiting for.

After another hour or two, the night sky was already full of stars.

Kui Ao ran to the edge of the rocking chair, raised his hooves and pushed Cao Wei several times, and said anxiously: "Brother Wei, don't sleep, only a few first-level monsters have come over since this morning, one of the second-level I didn't see it, is there any problem?"

"How can it be so fast, when these first-order monsters start fighting and the bloody smell spreads out, then the second-order monsters should come! You stay on guard tonight, don't worry." Cao Wei closed his eyes and said slowly.

"Oh." Kui Ao replied in frustration.

……

……

On the second day, the sky was not bright yet.

Cao Wei exclaimed, and woke up sweating profusely from his sleep. He dreamed that he was robbed by the dragon and taken into the demon's nest, where the sun was dark.

His mouth was stuffed with dragon's breath spiritual grass, and he was forced to entertain other big monsters.

Kui Ao, who was lying on the beach, heard the sound, turned his head, and asked, "Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?"

Cao Wei took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

He mobilized his consciousness, looked up at the sky, then scanned around, and finally found some abnormalities in a cloud of gray clouds in the distance.

I saw [The middle stage of the big demon: Ao Zhi...] displayed on the prompt

Sure enough, this bone-sucking dragon followed, but it should not be for him, but for the safety of Kui Ao, his nephew.

Seeing this, Cao Wei didn't make a sound, but begged the other party to let him rest for a while, and stop tossing, or his body would not be able to bear it!
