Chapter 205: How many soldiers and horses does this Shangzong have?

Lingnan Town.

A small boat sailed into the deep sea under the cover of night, and soon after, it entered the endless fog.

This trip out.

Before I knew it, more than two months had passed.

Chen Sanshi had no martial arts to practice, so he could only practice the "Five Elements Secret" day and night, and finally reached the threshold of breakthrough.

His spiritual roots that contained all five elements continuously absorbed spiritual energy from the spirit bead. After a complex cycle of refining, they returned to his dantian. From a wisp of vague and illusory white mist at the beginning, they became more and more condensed, and their number was also increasing.

Two strands...

Five silk...

After ten silk threads were condensed, they formed a mist as thick as a hemp rope in the Dantian.

at last.

The panel floats.

[Kung Fu: Five Elements Technique. Initial Stage of Qi Refining (Level 2)]

【Progress: 0/500】

The proficiency level of the second level technique did not increase and remained at 500. In fact, the first to third levels were collectively referred to as the initial stages. The reason why they were divided so finely was entirely due to the technique.

one Year!

It has been almost a year since we came to Ziwei Mountain.

He has only reached the second level of Qi Refining and cannot even fly with a sword.

It is also said that starting from the middle stage of Qi Refining, the difficulty of cultivation will increase exponentially. According to his spiritual root qualifications, it will take about 40 years to cultivate to the perfection of Qi Refining, and the probability of building a foundation is... zero!

This trip.

In addition to the various materials needed for practicing the true power realm, you also need to get some magic cultivation techniques, pill recipes and their materials.

stern.

"Chen Sanshi, I caught you!"

Zhao Zhao took great effort to fish out a general crab from the sea.

This crab is covered with armor-like scales and is as long as an arm. It belongs to the category of precious fish. Even if a warrior at the Xuanxiang realm eats one, it will be beneficial to his martial arts.

Zhao Zhao covered the crab with a special net bag, dragged it to an iron pot, stabbed it to death with a sword and threw it into the pot, boiled water to cook the crab, and soon after, she sat on the deck and started eating the crab.

The man named Chen had a big bag of fasting pills, but he couldn't bear to eat them. He kept them all to sell for spirit stones and forced her to go fishing every day. He was exactly the same as the soldiers in Lingnan Town who forced the fishermen to fish.

"for you."

Zhao Zhao ate crabs while grabbing a handful of grass and feeding it to Qianxun's mouth: "I don't think he treats you very well. He doesn't even want to give you good things."

Chihiro nodded.

"What are you two mumbling about?"

Chen Sanshi was not polite either. He picked up half a crab and ate it while walking: "Drive the boat well, we will arrive soon."

"Oh."

Zhao Zhao bit the crab even harder.

……

Half a day later.

In front of them, a hazy island emerged. On the edge of the island stood a stone tablet with four large characters "The End of the World" written on it.

As the spirit boat slowly approached the shore, they finally arrived at their destination.

Here.

Basically, there are no traces of the last war. It must have been cleaned up by someone. It is very clean and deserted, with no one in sight.

Master has instructed me.

Once the seal of heaven and earth is loosened, it is difficult to reverse it.

They can currently leave through the ancient teleportation array. If they wait a while, they can reopen the teleportation array and pour into the country in large numbers.

It is okay in the early and middle stages of Qi training, but the late and complete stages of Qi training will bring great trouble.

Chen Sanshi asked Qianxun and Zhaozhao to wait while he went to the ancient teleportation array to observe the situation. After making sure it was safe, he took out the jade token and teleported them one by one into Tianshuizhou according to the specific process.

"Go directly to the market?"

Zhao Zhao asked.

"Let's go to Xiaoshi Village first."

"Village?"

……

Xiaoshi Village.

"Master, why are you back again?"

Old man Li said this and called them into the house.

The yard is still the same yard, and the people are still the same old couple.

I burned some firewood and fried two side dishes.

"Where's Ping An?"

Chen Sanshi asked while eating.

"This little bastard, who knows where he went!"

Old Man Li said unhappily, "Ever since... Anyway, now the cattle are not being herded, the fields are not being cultivated, and no one knows where they are all day long. No one can be seen all day long."

"Grandpa, grandma."

Dining room.

A woman's voice was heard outside.

It was just dusk when a young woman dressed elegantly, who did not look like a poor woman, pushed open the gate. She was pretty and was holding a basket of meat and eggs.

"Girl?"

Old man Li stretched his neck to look outside. When he recognized the person, he was startled at first. Surprise first appeared in his old and cloudy eyes, but it soon turned into panic. He quickly led the woman into the house: "Girl, why are you back again?"

"He went into seclusion."

The young woman put down the basket and took out some gold beans from the pouch around her waist. "These are what I have saved in the past two years. You should find a way to exchange them for silver. Don't go up the mountain to chop wood anymore. This man..."

Speaking of it.

The woman noticed the white robe in the room. Before the old man could explain, she reacted and bowed slightly: "Master, right? I heard my family Ping An mention you."

"You are Ping An's sister?"

If Chen Sanshi remembered correctly.

Old man Li once mentioned this.

Ping'an has an older sister who married into the city and became a concubine.

And judging from the conversation, the person she married seemed to be a monk.

"Put your things down and leave quickly."

Old Man Li urged: "Girl, please don't come back again recently."

Under the constant urging of the two elders.

The young woman left the village reluctantly.

It was shortly after she left.

Chen Sanshi saw several cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining coming into the village.

They stood in front of several doors, knocking impatiently until the doors opened and a young man or girl came out. The monks then threw down some worthless gold and silver and left.

"This is?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Are you buying people?"

"Yes."

Old man Li said in a hoarse voice: "The immortal masters in the city like to come to our remote villages to look for virgin girls and boys. They will reward the families they like according to their mood. After that, no matter whether the bought girls or boys are men or women, they cannot leave the city without permission, even if they are the personal servants of the immortal masters."

"That……"

Zhao Zhao asked seriously, "Can't we not sell it?"

"Not selling?"

Old Man Li smiled bitterly: "If you don't sell it, these immortal masters have plenty of ways to make you sell it."

"What about the court?"

Zhao Zhao asked again: "Can't we go to the court to file a complaint?"

"The imperial court? The imperial court here is just a decoration."

There was no ripple in the old man Li's calm tone, as if it were a pool of stagnant water: "Those who are truly in charge of Tianshuizhou, the immortal sects, they won't care about these trivial matters."

"Rebellion?"

Zhao Zhao held the half-eaten bun in his hand and said, "Where we are, those who can't make a living rebel."

After she finished speaking, even she realized that it was a bit childish.

What can mortals use to fight against immortals?
"How many soldiers does this Shangzong have?"

Suddenly.

Chen Sanshi, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"What?"

Old Man Li didn't quite hear clearly: "Master, what did you say?"

"I said."

Chen Sanshi emphasized: "What realm are these upper sects you mentioned? How many soldiers do they have? Where are they located? What is the relationship between them?"

"This……"

Old man Li spread his hands and said with a bitter face: "Aren't you embarrassing an old man like me? How would I know these things..."

These villages.

When everyone is born, there will be someone to test them. Those who have spiritual roots and decent qualifications will be marked, and when they are old enough, someone will take them away.

It can be said.

Once anyone in Tianshuizhou is born, their fate is determined.

And these cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining.

Most of them are just casual cultivators.

In Ozefang City, they belong to the lower class and can only live in shanty towns.

What they like most is to come to the mortal world to make up for the oppression they suffered in the immortal world. To put it bluntly, the weak are just wielding their swords against the weaker ones.

"nothing."

Chen Sanshi did not continue to ask: "I am leading troops to fight on the other side, so I am asking out of habit. Since Ping An is not here, I will not bother the old man anymore. Goodbye."

He was originally.

I planned to leave Zhao Zhao and Chihiro here and go to Osawafang City alone.

But now it seems that the mortal world is not a safe place.

After bidding farewell to Old Man Li, the two men left Xiaoshi Village on horseback, traveled all night, and arrived at Dazefang Market at the hour of Mao the next day.

The market town is still the same market town.

The shanty towns are still filled with the same people as last time.

Chen Sanshi found a teahouse and settled Zhaozhao and Qianxun down first.

The market town is open for business, and as long as you don't leave a certain range, your safety is guaranteed. After all, the Deacon Hall spends spirit stones to hire people who practice martial arts, not to just eat and do nothing.

Chen Sanshi first came to Baibao Tower to see if he could sell all the pills he had.

This time he came to the world of immortals, using his true form.

"Fellow Daoist, I have some medicinal pills here, would you like to take them?"

Si Liu, the female cultivator in charge of the store, smiled sweetly upon hearing this: "Could it be that fellow Daoist is an alchemist?"

"Exactly."

Chen Sanshi said truthfully: "I am a first-level alchemist."

"We at Baibaolou have always cooperated with independent alchemists, and our prices are the most reasonable in Dazefang Market."

Si Liu kept smiling: "I wonder what kind of elixirs you are good at refining, and how many you can supply us every month?"

"Every month?"

Chen Sanshi heard the key point.

He found out only after asking.

Whether it is Baibaolou or other large shops, if you want to cooperate with them, you cannot just do a one-time business, but must sign a contract and supply a certain amount of goods every month, which is a long-term cooperation.

"Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."

Si Liu explained: "Among the various resources that cultivators need, the quality of the elixir is the most important. After all, if something goes wrong with it, it could be fatal. Only through long-term cooperation and mutual access to each other can the safety of the elixir be guaranteed.

"If you really can't cooperate with me for a long time, you can go to the 'Yulongji' in Dazefang City. You only need five spirit crystals to enter and trade freely."

"I see."

Chen Sanshi did not leave in a hurry, but walked around Baibaolou as a customer.

【Qingyuan Pill】

[Quality: First-class inferior]

[Effect: Increases the mana of cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining]

[Price: 5 low-grade spirit stones each]

……

【Huanglong Pills】

[Quality: First-class inferior]

[Effect: Increases the mana of cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining]

[Price: 8 low-grade spirit stones each]

Both.

They are all elixirs that increase the magic power of cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining, and they are quite expensive.

If possible, it is better to make it yourself.

But unfortunately, there is no recipe.

Compared to the pills themselves, the recipes were more valuable.

"girl."

Chen Sanshi asked: "Do you have any natural treasures like 'Immortal Grass', 'Rhinoceros Horn', and 'Scenic Fruit'?"

You only need any one of these three things to activate Jingshen.

“These.”

Si Liu thought for a moment and shook his head: "In addition to alchemy, the main function of these materials is to be used by body cultivators to open up their spirits, and we don't have them here.

"But there are some in the Deacon Hall. They are also recruiting a large number of martial artists recently. If you need them, you can go and have a look."

"Ok."

Before leaving, Chen Sanshi took another look at [Golden Bow and Silver Bullet].

Two hundred spirit stones.

If I could sell everything I have and then sell some of the little idiot's stuff, I would be able to get enough.

However, it would be better to use the spirit stones I currently have to improve my cultivation.

After thinking about it, he finally left Baibao Tower and prepared to go to the Deacon Hall to see what was going on.

Osawa Market.

This business is run by the Li family, one of the major immortal cultivation families nearby.

The Deacon Hall naturally also belongs to the Li family.

After Chen Sanshi arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the attic, he saw a notice saying that they were recruiting warriors in the late stage of Transcendent Realm and above. The reward was not only spirit stones, but also the natural treasures needed to break through the realm of true power. You can choose any one of them. If you are a warrior above the true power level, you can also get corresponding treasures to improve your cultivation.

He went to the second floor, found the deacon and asked about the details.

If he wanted to stay in Ozefang City to work, it was obvious that he had no chance.

"There are already enough people in the market."

Xu Youliang yawned and said, "These are all outbound missions. You need to leave this world and go to the still sealed Dongsheng Shenzhou. If you are above the middle stage of the True Strength Realm, doing this job is like filling a sack with spirit stones and resources. You won't have to worry about cultivation resources for the next few years."

There are three stages in the realm of true power: initial, intermediate and final.

Corresponding to the late stage of Qi Refining, the early stage of Foundation Building, and the middle stage of Foundation Building.

In other words.

Dazefang City wants to invite warriors in the middle stage of the True Power Realm, which is equivalent to inviting foundation-building cultivators.

The ancestor of the Li family is in the middle stage of foundation building.

When the strengths of the two parties are similar, this can no longer be called recruitment but cooperation.

The resources provided do not seem to be something that Dazefang City can afford.

After Chen Sanshi asked indirectly.

just got it.

This was originally a mission assigned by Shengyun Sect.

Shengyun Sect is a large sect with Jindan cultivators.

Only they can afford to hire martial artists in the middle or even late stage of the true strength realm.

And the purpose...

It means entering the Dongsheng Shenzhou!

The Dongsheng Shenzhou is still sealed. Even if you can enter through the teleportation array, you will be suppressed by the way of heaven. If you exceed a certain level, you will die directly in the seal.

It is said that the ancestor of Qingxuan Mountain once destroyed an incarnation in order to prevent the seal from being reinforced.

Given the current sealing situation, the highest level of cultivators who can enter Dongsheng Shenzhou are only at the late stage of Qi Refining and Perfection.

But this is aimed at Dharma practice.

There is no such limitation for martial artists, at least not at the level of true strength.

Therefore, Shengyun Sect searched for martial artists who were above the realm of true power through immortal cultivation families and scattered forces in various places.

As for what to do in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Obviously.

It is to find the spiritual vein.

And there is a high probability that something has been discovered, and a higher level of combat power is needed to get things done to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Fellow."

Chen Sanshi asked: "Can you tell me in detail what you are going to do after you get there?"

"My fellow Taoist, you talk too much."

Xu Youliang gradually lost his patience: "If you want to go, sign the blood contract now, and you can get the materials to break through the realm of true strength immediately. If you don't plan to go, just stay where you want."

And I have to sign a blood contract...

Of course, Chen Sanshi would never hand his life over to someone else.

It seems that these rare treasures are very difficult to obtain.

This is what martial arts practice is like.

The resource requirements are much higher than those of magic practitioners. Even for warriors at the true power realm, the increase in lifespan is minimal.

Mentioning life span.

After the ancient upheaval.

Nowadays, the life span of monks is.

Refining Qi, one hundred and twenty years old.

Laying the foundation, two hundred and fifty years old.

Golden elixir, five hundred years old.

A warrior at the True Power Realm, even in the late stage of the True Power Realm, is still about one hundred and twenty years old. Only after another breakthrough, his life span will increase and he will catch up with the cultivators at the same level.

Due to various reasons, there are fewer and fewer people practicing martial arts in the world of immortal cultivation. Basically, only those who have no spiritual roots but good aptitude for martial arts will practice martial arts.

Because the life span of martial arts is too short, martial artists often resort to any means to obtain cultivation resources, often resorting to fighting and killing, and breaking the ban with force, so martial artists have a very bad reputation in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Let's think of another solution."

Thinking so, Chen Sanshi turned around and wanted to leave.

As he walked out the door, he heard a shout from behind him.

"Little brother, please stay."

Chen Sanshi turned around and saw that it was an old man.

The old man looked to be in his 80s. His face, like dry bark, was covered with wrinkles, his cheekbones were high, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were a pair of cloudy pupils embedded in his eye sockets, looking somewhat dull.

The only thing that he carried behind him was a huge rectangular blade that was seven feet long and ten inches wide, proving that he was a martial artist and a martial saint at that.

"This old senior."

Out of courtesy, Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and said politely, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Little brother, did you want to get a treasure that could break through your true strength? But you refused because you had to sign a blood contract to work for someone else? Don't get me wrong."

The old man explained: "It's like this, I have a Jingshen Fruit in my hand, why don't you make a deal with me?"

"Oh?"

Chen Sanshi became interested: "Old senior, please tell me in detail, how many spirit stones are you willing to sell to me?"

"No spiritual stones."

The old man shook his head slightly: "As long as you can catch this fish, I will offer you the Jingshen Fruit with both hands."

"fish?"

Chen Sanshi was a little worried: "Do we have to have fish? What about other monsters?"

"This is the fish I need."

The old man introduced himself: "My surname is Wei, and my given name is Xuan. If you can find this fish, bring it to No. 1 Ding in the shantytown and come to me. I will give you the Jingshen Fruit with both hands!"

"I see."

Chen Sanshi bowed and took his leave.

After he left, he saw Wei Xuan bringing up the matter again to someone else.

Obviously, this business is not with him alone, but a reward is offered.

But I can only try.

'Immortal Grass', 'Jingshen Fruit', 'Lingxi Horn'.

Of these three things, the first two require artificial breeding and are extremely rare. The last one, 'Rhinoceros Horn', is the material of a second-level monster. Even if you can find it, you may not be able to defeat it.

Chen Sanshi came to a shop called "Book Collection Pavilion" and spent a spirit crystal to buy a copy of "Monster Records", preparing to study the monsters in this world carefully.

Soon, he found relevant records of "Xiu Bi Yu".

This fish can barely be considered a second-level spiritual fish, but its value to martial artists is far less than that of the Jingshen Fruit. Its most unique function is that after eating it, it can dispel thousands of immortal poisons.

"Why not fish?"

Chen Sanshi had a headache.

If it was an ordinary fish, even if he couldn't catch it, he could just go down to the river and pierce it with a spear.

Unfortunately, this Xiubi fish lives an extremely secretive life. It usually hides underground and will only come out when tempted by food. It can basically only be caught by fishing.

He continued to read the "Monster Beast Record" patiently. Within half an hour, he memorized all the monsters and spirit beasts that would appear within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. He also had an idea of ​​how to catch the fish.

Chen Sanshi immediately came to the teahouse and took the little fool away, while Chihiro stayed in the building.

In the eyes of the monks.

Qianxun is just a low-level spiritual beast. After all, it can't even fly. Basically no one would be interested in it. Besides, the teahouse has a special service to help take care of spiritual pets. It just costs spiritual stones, so they just leave it in the teahouse for the time being.

However, this also means that it is time to buy a storage bag that can hold living things, otherwise it will be a bit inconvenient in many cases.

"Where are you taking me?"

Zhao Zhao looked at the bustling market town and followed the man in white robe obediently.

"fishing."

……

The Chiling Mountains stretch for hundreds of thousands of miles, with countless monsters and numerous dangers. It is also a treasure land rich in resources. The cultivators from several surrounding towns and cities will go into the mountains to hunt, but they are different from ordinary hunters.

The mortality rate of hunting here is over 30%!

That is to say, for every three people who go in, one will never come out.

You have to pay taxes before entering Chiling Mountain, because the entire mountain range is the private territory of Shengyun Sect, and the rules are exactly the same as those of the ordinary world.

Each person needs to pay a spirit stone, which is not expensive, but it is definitely not cheap either.

Moreover, there are a large number of monks patrolling both on the ground and in the air. Once they are found, they will be killed without mercy. You can only enter the mountain through specific routes, and once you enter the mountain, no one will care whether you live or die.

When we arrived at the foot of the first mountain, we saw an exquisite attic, which was also the "ticket office". Near the attic, there were many monks gathered here and there.

Among them, there are acquaintances.

The first time Chen Sanshi came to Tianya Haijiao, he disguised himself as a bald man and went to the ancient teleportation array with a group of people. The leader at that time was Lu Bochin. Judging from his attire, he is now a law enforcement deacon of the Deacon Hall of Dazefang City. He appeared here, probably to hunt.

Paid the spirit stones.

Chen Sanshi and Zhaozhao were allowed to pass.

Then, Lu Boqin took the initiative to come over and said the same words as when they first met: "My dear brother, I didn't expect that we meet again. The Chiling Mountain has been in turmoil recently. Do you want to travel together?"

It was this person at the beginning who did not exchange the jade token for a cave dwelling, so he still remembered it clearly. However, he did not expect that the other party could stay in the world of immortal cultivation for such a long time without a cave dwelling.

"Yeah yeah."

The person next to him echoed, "Recently, several demon beasts in the mountain are about to break through, and they are hunting cultivators everywhere. They are even ferocious. In the past two days alone, at least twenty people have died."

This is what makes Chiling Mountain different from ordinary mountains.

It's not just humans hunting animals.

Beasts are also trying every possible way to hunt hunters.

The weak eat the strong, the law of the jungle.

Chen Sanshi glanced at them.

There were four people, two of them were martial artists, and the other two were magic practitioners in the middle stage of Qi Refining. However, the people who had traveled with them last time were not seen, such as the young man holding the sword and the other Martial Saint.

"Alas, Brother Tang and Brother Liu didn't listen to my advice and insisted on going into the mountains. As a result, they never came back..."

Lu Boqin said with a painful expression: "I should have stopped them at the beginning. So, I really don't want any more Taoist friends to die in there for no reason!"

"Deacon Lu, don't blame yourself. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. How can I blame you?"

"..."

It seems that Lu Bochin is now very popular in Dazefang Market and has a very good reputation.

"Hey, you two, do you want to come together?"

A young monk asked.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, fellow Taoists."

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and said, "My magic power is low, and I am afraid that following you will only hinder you all, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he grabbed Zhao Zhao's arm and left.

The young cultivator looked at their backs and quietly performed a detection spell, then revealed a look of disdain: "What a big deal! I was wondering if they were some great cultivators, but it turns out one is at the first level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the second level of Qi Refining. How dare they enter the mountains? Aren't they just delivering food to the monsters?!"

"This person is a martial artist."

Lu Boqin said with a vicious look: "But it doesn't matter. The seven of us together are more than enough to deal with a wolf."

"Martial arts practitioner?"

The Martial Saint Kong Jincheng, who was traveling with us, said, "Speaking of this, have you seen the recent bounty mission in the market, Brother Lu? As long as you sign the blood contract, you can get one of the three treasures directly, and we don't have to search for it anymore."

"Having said that, have you read the contents of the blood contract?" Lu Bochin asked.

"That's not the case." Kong Jincheng inquired, "Brother Lu is the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, I wonder if you can reveal something?"

“It’s not a secret in itself.”

Lu Boqin said in a deep voice: "The blood contract requires that we fight to the death. I'm afraid this trip to Dongsheng Shenzhou will be dangerous."

"I guess it has something to do with the ancestral vein again."

Kong Jincheng said with emotion: "But we have to find a way to open Jingshen. If we can't find the treasures we want after a while, we have to give it a try no matter how big the risk is. We martial artists are like sailing against the current. If we don't move forward, we will fall behind!"

"Brother Kong is right. Let's see what happens first."

Lu Boqin said: "Let's go into the mountains together as soon as possible!"

"Okay!"

……

Chiling Mountain.

A colorful eagle that blocked out the sun flew overhead, a three-headed black leopard flashed by in the woods, rustling sounds continued to be heard in the bushes, and all kinds of strange cries could be heard from time to time.

The further we went, the denser the black forest became, and the surroundings became eerie and dark.

Zhao Zhao followed closely behind the man in white robe, and suddenly felt a chill on her neck. She reached out to touch it, and it felt cold and smooth. She tried to pull it, but found it was impossible to move it away, as it was firmly wrapped around her neck.

then……

She saw a snake head suddenly appear, look into her eyes, and then open its mouth to spit out poisonous mist.

"what--"

"Keng——"

The sword flashed.

Just before the poisonous mist was sprayed out, the snake's head fell to the ground.

Zhao Zhao was finally able to remove the white snake from her neck and threw it away.

"pick it up."

Chen Sanshi slowly put away his knife: "The first-level spiritual beast white jade snake, the snake gall is worth five spiritual stones."

"Is it still worth money?"

Zhao Zhao then approached cautiously. Out of fear, he stuffed the thing into the bag around his waist at lightning speed and wrapped it around the bag again and again. After struggling for a long time, he found that the man in white was not waiting for him at all and was already several hundred steps away. He then hurriedly chased after him.

"Be careful. If this snake bites you, you will be dead."

Although Chen Sanshi seems casual, he is actually paying attention to the movements around him all the time.

This is the prey in Chiling Mountain.

Observing each other with him!
That's right.

Not only was he selecting his prey, but the prey was also observing him.

It's special here.

No aura
But the essence of the sun and the moon is exceptionally abundant.

These monsters all have a certain level of intelligence.

Chen Sanshi was certain that if he took action and failed to intimidate other creatures nearby, some monsters would definitely take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and the attacks might be endless.

His main purpose is to fish, so it would be better not to get involved before that.

After getting the Xiubi fish, it won’t be too late to try hunting other monsters.

[Searching for the missing trace] is turned on.

Nothing between the mountains and forests could escape Chen Sanshi's sight. He soon bent down, dug up the soil, and found some black feces underneath. He took it in his hands and rubbed it without any disgust.

Zhao Zhao pinched her nose in disgust and watched the man in white robe, whom the army would avoid, looking for feces and hair. After two hours, he finally stopped in front of a bunch of green plants full of red fruits and picked a few from them.

"Finally found."

Chen Sanshi put in a lot of effort.

The Xiubi fish is cautious by nature, and this extremely rare red fruit must be used as bait to attract it out.

In order to find this red fruit, you have to find several kinds of small monsters.

In short, it's a long journey.

If it were an ordinary person, no matter how high his cultivation level was, it would be difficult to carry out such a detailed search. Even if he had specially practiced magic in this area, he would still need sufficient experience in jungle hunting.

There is a Tuo River on the Chiling Mountain, and there are countless spiritual fish and magical beasts in the river.

Chen Sanshi came to the downstream of a branch of the Tuo River, found a stone to sit on, took out a fishing rod from the storage bag, mixed red fruits with several other plants to make bait, and finally handed it to the little fool: "I'll leave this little thing to you. I'll help you watch it and prevent any monsters from attacking."

"You still have to rely on me."

Zhao Zhao saw through it but didn't say anything. He sat down to fish, holding a magical herb with honey in his mouth.

Only half an hour later, she felt something was hooked.

"So fast?"

Chen Sanshi remembered it very clearly. The book said that if one wanted to catch a xiubi fish, one had to be prepared to spend several days. How long had it been since then?
If he had known this, he would have fished it himself.

"Chen Sanshi, hurry up, I can't pull it...ah..."

The words are not finished yet.

Zhao Zhao fell directly into the river.

Through the river water, you can see a magical beast that looks like a frog but has a fish tail.

Repair the fish!
It was only the size of a palm, but it was incredibly strong. It dragged Zhao Zhao into the river, then pulled the special fishhook out of its mouth and tried to escape.

Unfortunately……

Chen Sanshi couldn't find it because it was hiding in a cave deep under the river. But now that it had revealed itself, there was no chance of survival for it. He rushed forward and punched it, making Xiubiyu dizzy.

"Got it!"

"Roar--"

at the same time.

From the woods ahead, there was a roar of a monster, followed by a storm!
A tornado rose into the sky and approached them rapidly. Wherever it passed, tree after tree was either broken in half or uprooted, forming a tremendous force.

In the center of the tornado, there was a monster, or to be more precise, two monsters stacked on top of each other!

An old wolf had no forelimbs but had a pair of huge bat wings. Under its body, there was another black demon wolf connected. They coordinated with each other when they moved, and when combined, they unleashed astonishing destructive power.

Embarrassing!

Since the wolf-dog has wings but short front limbs, it was chosen to combine with the demon wolf to achieve freedom of movement both on the ground and in the air.

Embarrassed!

What should have been a common word used to insult others has become reality here.

"Stop him!"

"boom--"

Two magic practitioners chased after him on their swords, but were quickly defeated by the gusts of evil wind.

The beast looked as miserable as if it were in the late first stage, but it seemed injured as well. After a moment of madness, it flew high into the sky, trying to escape from here.

"Brother!"

A few hundred steps away, Lu Boqin chased after it with a long knife in hand, shouting, "Don't let it get away. As long as you're willing to help, I'll give it to you!"

"Correct!"

The wounded monk shouted, "We went into the mountain several times before we managed to force it out. We must not let it escape!"

"You just need to stop them for a bit! We'll share a bottle of bone blood!"

"I'll even give you a piece of meat!"

"..."

Eating wolf heart and wolf lung together will greatly help in breaking through the realm of true strength!

If you can get it, you can greatly shorten the time required for a breakthrough.

There was a previous reluctance to work with these people.

This is because Chen Sanshi clearly remembered that Lu Bochin once used the lives of his brothers as stepping stones. If he walked with him and encountered any danger, he would not only not get any help, but might be stabbed in the back.

But since.

Since the monster was right at his doorstep, there was naturally no need for him to avoid it.

"Take it."

Chen Sanshi threw the knocked out Xiu Biyu into Zhao Zhao's hand. The ring flashed with silver light, and the Black Snake Bow appeared quietly. The bowstring was as long as a full moon, and the arrow was as sharp as a black sun. Waves of true energy merged with the evil spirit of the bowstring and turned into a black meteor, which caught up with the flying beast in a moment.

The wolf was keenly aware of the threat, and closed its huge wings like a shield to protect its body. Bursts of evil energy burst out from its wings, and it collided head-on with the incoming arrows.

"boom--"

The two forces collided, creating a hurricane.

Even though this beast was injured, it was still a late-stage first-order monster after all, and it managed to withstand the arrow. However, soon, black smoke began to rise from its left wing.

Snake venom, evil spirit!
Under the combined erosion of the two, its ragged wings completely rotted away in the blink of an eye. It could only rely on its remaining wings to hover precariously in the air, but it had no way to escape from here, and it immediately became angry and humiliated.

"Roar--"

"Ow—"

The wolf and the wolf-dog howled angrily together, mobilizing all their evil spirits and carrying the rolling tornado, like a giant dragon formed from dust, as they strangled the tiny white-robed creature on the ground.

"Keng——"

The red lotus is unsheathed.

With one knife, the tornado is broken!
The trees are still, the wind stops!
"boom--"

The wolf fell directly from the air, its old head tumbling to the ground. The demon wolf also fell in a pool of blood, only breathing out but not inhaling, and died soon after.

Chen Sanshi did not delay. He went forward with the Red Lotus Knife and took out the wolf's heart and lungs in just a few strokes.

Until then.

Lu Bochin and several other monks caught up and were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Damn!

He, they just wanted this person to help stop them, why did he kill them directly?!

No wonder this guy dared to enter Chiling Mountain when he was only at the second level of Qi Refining. It turns out he is a martial artist!
And this knife technique...

Even though they were in a mess and injured, they were still much stronger than ordinary cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining. However, they were killed by him with just one sword. This means that to kill them, it would probably only take one sword!

"I just want a wolf's heart and a wolf's lungs."

Chen Sanshi glanced at the people and asked, "Who is in favor and who is against?"

The three of them said nothing, and all turned their eyes to Lu Bochin, the strongest among them.

"Haha~"

Lu Boqin looked a little unhappy, but he finally said, "In cooperative hunting, the best get what they can. If it weren't for you, the wolf would have escaped long ago and we wouldn't have gotten anything. It's only natural that you take the wolf's heart and lungs. I just don't know what your name is, brother?"

"My surname is Chen, and my name is Sanshi."

Chen Sanshi put away his things and said, "Since everyone has no objection, I will take my leave first. Idiot, let's go."

"oh oh."

Zhao Zhao, who was soaked in water, picked up the still-breathing Xiubi fish and quickly followed. From time to time, he had to inject a little spiritual power into its body to ensure its survival.

"..."

Lu Bochin looked at the miserable corpse and felt quite unhappy.

He was not afraid of this man, as his swordsmanship was not bad either.

It's just this matter...

It is reasonable for the other party to take away the wolf's heart and lungs.

If he were to stop him forcibly, it would affect the reputation he had worked so hard to build up, and it would be easy for him to drag someone else to go hunting with him in the mountains in the future.

That's it!

There is no loss at all.

Being in a mess is not rare, just look for it again.

"Xiu Pi Yu?"

Lu Boqin noticed the spirit fish in the little girl's hand: "They came to the mountains just to detoxify?"

"Hey, it's true!"

Kong Jincheng said: "But he is not going there to detoxify, I think he is going there to exchange for Jingshen Fruit!"

"Jingshen Fruit?"

"Brother Lu, don't you know? There is an old martial artist named Wei in the shantytown who has been looking for this fish everywhere recently. The condition is to exchange it for Jingshen Fruit."

"..."

　I would like to recommend a book by Good Brothers to everyone.
