Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 142: Plunder, death for money

The ancient cauldron swelled in the wind, with its mouth pointing downward, rolling up a sky full of burning dark golden light, which absorbed all the nine golden corpses in the corpse refining cave.

However, in that dark golden vortex, the nine golden corpses were still able to launch attacks on Lu Cheng, their movements as fast as lightning and their offensives fiercely.

Therefore, the storage time, which was obviously not long, seemed extremely long in Lu Cheng's eyes.

Finally, the dark golden vortex was completely retracted into the cauldron.

Clang.

The lid of the tripod closed, and the Jiuli Tripod flew back into Lu Cheng's body. The Taoist holding the sword in both hands fell down from the air and landed heavily on the ground, with blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

"call."

After letting out a long breath, Lu Cheng quickly inserted his two swords into the ground in front of him, then sat down cross-legged, found some healing pills and swallowed them to heal his wounds.

He cultivated the magical power of Qi and Fire, which could greatly speed up the transformation of medicinal power. He also cultivated the magical power of Essence and Fire, and through self-measurement and self-understanding, he could greatly speed up the circulation of medicinal power.

At the same time, on the other side, Wu Lingjun was already fighting with six evil cultivators of the Thousand Corpse Sect. She held the Eight Directions Wind and Rain Flag in one hand and controlled the flying sword with the other hand, performing the Jade Dragon Sword Technique to transform the sword energy into shape. Her natal magic weapon, the Cold Kirin Bixi, was suspended above her head. From time to time, a water unicorn would swoop down to kill her. The flying sword that would transform into a blue dragon from time to time was shining with cold light, and every slash was accompanied by great power.

The six evil cultivators of the Thousand Corpse Sect on the opposite side used their own magical weapons and refined corpses. They used flags, swords, gourds, ruyi, rulers, scissors and other magical weapons in conjunction with the refined corpses to attack one by one. In an instant, the entire battlefield was surrounded by various magical weapons and refined corpses, and they took advantage of the chaos.

Wu Lingjun remained calm while being besieged, controlling the flying sword from a distance. Pale white sword energy cut through the sky, and the blade light formed by the invisible sword energy swept past like a torrent, pointing directly at the vital points of the six evil cultivators.

Wu Lingyun's protective magic power of Gangsha Heyi is strong and tough, and her life-saving magic weapon, Hanlin Tourmaline, is both offensive and defensive. At this moment, her stature is gradually increasing, antlers are growing on her forehead, and blue scales are emerging on both sides of her cheeks. The more she fights, the more turbulent her magic power becomes.

In fact, if these six evil cultivators of the Thousand Corpse Sect were determined to fight Wu Lingjun to the death, they would never be defeated so quickly even if they could not win.

But the bad luck is that many of them have put their minds on the corpse refining cave, waiting for the golden corpse to rise up. They have to escape as soon as possible, otherwise they won't become the dead souls under the claws of the golden corpse. Wouldn't that be unfair?
However, there was a faint flicker of dark golden light coming through the corpse refining cave, and then, nothing happened.

Everyone waited for a long time, but the nine golden corpses did not show up. Their minds were in turmoil, and they found flaws in the eyes of experts.

"court death!"

Seeing that these people dared to be distracted while fighting with her, Wu Lingjun was secretly angry, but the next moment her sword force, which had been sluggish and rough due to anger, suddenly became light and agile, turning into sword mist of wind, rain and rain, and pierced through the six evil cultivators of the Thousand Corpse Sect.

That sword mist was like the hazy fog whistling through the sky during a violent storm. It easily penetrated the defenses of the four Thousand Corpse Sect monks who had no magic weapons to protect themselves, and pierced into their bodies.

It was as if more than ten ice needles were inserted into the body at once, following the path of blood circulation, either forward or backward, to pierce various vital points and acupoints!

"Ah..." The screams were continuous.

Inside the corpse refining cave.

"call……"

Under the circulation of the medicine, Lu Cheng's internal and external injuries have improved greatly.

"If it weren't for the protective True Evil Absorbing Force, and if it weren't for the fact that this body was tempered by me to be fairly strong, I would have been beaten to death just now. Walking on the road at night too much will eventually lead to encountering ghosts. No matter how cautious you are, you can still be careless sometimes. It seems that you can't give up on body training. As long as you are alive, you have everything."

"I condensed earth fire in the foundation-building stage, and condensed human fire in the evil spirit stage. The next step should be to condense heavenly fire and practice the heavenly spirit of gathering fire?"

Among the thirty-six kinds of Tiangang atmosphere, there are also several kinds of fire Tiangang, and there are also the thirty-six kinds of Tiangang mixed with each other, but the key is to be in line with one's own Taoist system, and in the future one will practice the general outline of the transformation of the Xuanmen True Spirit, and it is best to match it with the True Spirit blood collected by oneself.

Lu Cheng also knew that this was not the place to deduce Taoism, so after he practiced internal energy to heal his injuries, and after his injuries had healed a little, he flew out of the Corpse Refining Cave on his sword.

When he escaped from the corpse cave, the sword fight outside had already ended. Second Senior Sister Wu Lingjun was standing among the pile of corpses. She seemed to have realized something, but ultimately became confused and could not get the point.

There were so many corpses, most of which were refined corpses of the Thousand Corpse Sect. Apart from Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng, there were only sixteen high-level members of the Thousand Corpse Sect present.

While Wu Lingjun was thinking there, Lu Cheng didn't even pick up the Qiankun bag. He just waited by the side with his sword in his arms, and at the same time practiced internal energy to heal his internal injuries.

As time went by, the entire Thousand Corpse Sect headquarters gradually became chaotic, but as long as these people did not come here, Lu Cheng would not take any action or care. He just stood there waiting for Second Senior Sister Wu Lingjun to regain her consciousness.

Two days later, Wu Lingjun finally smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"No, it's still a little off. It really is like a knife cutting and polishing... I just can't figure it out."

"Sister, don't be anxious. The Golden Elixir Path is like this. In fact, the Water Qilin is kind by nature and is a famous auspicious beast. Can't you gain enlightenment from killing it?"

"No, in recent years, Master has been out making clouds and rain, but in fact, it was mostly Master's wife and I who did it. I have saved countless lives and become the Buddha of thousands of families. This is not my way."

After worrying for a while, Wu Lingjun finally smiled and said:

"Forget it, don't worry with me. Let's go. You and I will work together to wipe out the Thousand Corpse Sect and remove it from the list of the sixteen evil sects in the world. Now it's time to reap the fruits of our labor."

At this time in the Corpse Valley, a large number of Thousand Corpse Sect monks who had sensed something was wrong had already fled.

After all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace was right next to it, and the Thousand Corpse Sect monks here were mentally prepared. They robbed a lot of property and sect classics.

However, they could not open or enter the sect’s treasury. The Palace of the Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts had no desire for the Thousand Corpse Sect’s few classics, so Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng did not mind.

"These two pairs of jade rings are the keys to the Thousand Corpse Sect's treasure house. Song Xiangyun actually carried them with him, which saved you and me a lot of trouble."

Song Xiangyun is the current leader of the Thousand Corpse Sect. The monks of the Thousand Corpse Sect have done a lot of research on the Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts Incarnation. Conversely, Wu Lingjun would not be completely ignorant of the affairs of the Thousand Corpse Sect.

This main altar cannot be set up with formations above level three, which will affect the flow of the heaven and earth's qi too much. Therefore, the Thousand Corpses Sect built a local treasure house with mechanical techniques and formations, which is unique. Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng came to a huge black stone gate built against the mountain. Wu Lingjun used his magic power to hit the pair of jade rings. The two jade rings flew into the air, emitting two spiritual lights, and a slowly rotating formation diagram appeared on the main door of the treasure house.

After a moment of inspection of the spiritual light and the formation diagram, the door slowly opened. From then on, at least a part of the treasure house accumulated by the Thousand Corpse Sect for thousands of years was at the disposal of Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng.

"Divide the property here into ten parts, 20% for you and me each, and give the remaining 60% to Master's Wife. However, Master's Wife is always kind, so she should give you and me another 10%. Even if there is no reward, Master and Master's Wife treat us with deep friendship, so we should be content."

Wu Lingjun said this before entering the treasure house.

"As it should be."

Lu Cheng could accept either 40% to 60% or 60% to 40%. Without a powerful sect to rely on behind Tongxuan Realm, let alone whether he could earn such a huge fortune in front of him, even if he did, he would be guilty of possessing a treasure without any guilt.

Lu Cheng is not a greedy person.

The first level of the treasure house is filled with large piles of neatly arranged spirit stones, including low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade spirit stones.

Most of them are spiritual stones, and in a few areas there are also spiritual shells, spiritual jade, spiritual water and other items. They are also divided into three grades: low, medium and high according to the amount of spiritual energy contained.

These spiritual creatures are the blood of a sect. Without them, even the most powerful sect will fall into danger of disintegration.

There was nothing much to say. Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng looked at each other, and then each of them used the storage magic tool they brought from the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace to start collecting and looting.

The second level of the treasury is the storage area for magical instruments and talismans. It contains all kinds of magical instruments from the first to the fourth level, but there are not many of them. Considering that most of the Thousand Corpse Sect members use corpses as instruments, this number of magical instruments is normal. Of course, those refined corpses cannot be stored in this treasury.

The third floor of the treasury is filled with various elixirs, spiritual objects, rare treasures. When a certain number of spiritual stones are stored, Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng no longer collect them, but mainly reserve the space for storing magical instruments on the second and third floors of the treasury.

"With this wealth, I basically don't need to worry about conventional cultivation resources before I cultivate the golden elixir. The accumulation of a large sect for thousands of years is really rich."

Compared to Lu Cheng, who exchanged the sword for resources for his own cultivation, Wu Lingjun was more calm when receiving these properties.

It had been more than a hundred years since she reached the Golden Elixir realm. To her now, any spiritual objects, magical instruments, and talismans were not as important as refining the Golden Elixir.

Of course, in reality, even if Wu Lingjun succeeded in refining the golden elixir, she would still need a lot of cultivation resources to support her future practice. However, the channels for cultivators at that level to obtain cultivation resources are more diverse, and even if she goes to a sect as a guest official, she can earn a considerable reward.

…………

A few days later, Wu Lingjun and Lu Cheng returned with a full load and set out on the road back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace. Although they had already made preparations and brought many unused storage instruments from the sect, the Thousand Corpse Sect had accumulated a lot of wealth over thousands of years. Even if this treasure house only accounted for about 50% of the sect's total wealth, it was enough for the two of them to make a fortune and no longer have any idle storage instruments on them.

Just on this day, when Lu Cheng and Wu Lingjun were about to set off on their journey.

Suddenly, a huge and fiery aura approached them rapidly from behind the two of them.

Having just robbed someone else's sect's treasury, the two were at a period when they were most sensitive to the fluctuations in the Thousand Corpse Sect's magical power.

Lu Cheng and Wu Lingjun looked at each other, Wu Lingjun suddenly turned around, Lu Cheng stabbed forward with his sword, and the two of them stood back to back, forming a relatively perfect defense to protect each other.

A shadow wrapped in black and grey aura suddenly attacked.

Lu Cheng held out the sword in his left hand and used the sword in his right hand to defend diagonally. The fierce defensive sword circle he formed made the attacker gasp lightly, and he suddenly changed the direction of attack as fast as lightning.

However, although the visitor's mind was moving as fast as lightning, Lu Cheng's sword intent changed like a god looking down. The advantage of the two swords in his hands, which were exquisitely changed, was fully demonstrated. In the last instant, he transformed the two swords into two flawless sword circles, and with a clanging sound, he sealed off the opponent's aura.

But the power transmitted from the sword was like a mountain, and it was transmitted to his body through the double sword circle. In just a moment, Lu Cheng's magic power collapsed and his body became numb. If the opponent recovered and attacked again, he would normally die.

Faced with such a strong enemy, Lu Cheng did not activate his innate blood and fire magical powers. He was not a petty person. He was cruel to his enemies and even crueler to himself in sword duels. Otherwise, he would not have been able to practice such a powerful protective magical power as his innate blood and fire.

The reason why he didn't urge it was because Lu Cheng knew that it would be enough for him to block it for a moment.

Sure enough, when the shadow recovered and attacked again, a green seal had already smashed into his body. If this person did not retreat, given Wu Lingjun's temperament, she would most likely detonate her own magic weapon and fight this powerful Jindan master to a draw.

The person who came seemed to know Wu Lingjun's temperament very well. The shadow twisted and flickered, and it retreated suddenly. After several turns, it landed in front of the two people, on a protruding rock.

"Friend Wu Dao, it's been a long time since we last met."

After the man's surprise attack failed, he did not continue to attack, but showed up openly to meet Wu Lingjun.

He was dressed in black as black as ink, his figure was tall and thin, his skin was pale blue, and he looked lifeless, but his demeanor was gentle and elegant, as if he were a well-educated scholar.

"It's you, Zuo Xuenong!"

When Wu Lingjun saw this person, she did not show any surprise.

Lu Cheng frowned slightly when he heard the name Zuo Xuenong. This man was the leader of the Seven Hades Generals of the Thousand Corpse Sect. However, he did not expect that he had already mastered the art of alchemy.

But on second thought, it is normal, Zuo Xue Nong, Yuwen Zheng and Wu Lingjun are all cultivators of the same generation. Yuwen Zheng and Wu Lingjun have been studying alchemy for many years, and Zuo Xue Nong's cultivation progress is not much different. So it is normal for anyone to take this step first. It's just that most cultivators in the Refining Gang realm will never be able to take this step in their entire lives.

"Zuo Xuenong, this place is very close to the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace. How dare you act wildly here?"

“Hahahaha, of course I don’t want to touch the tiger whiskers of Master Huang Longzi lightly, but you two seem to have taken something away from my sect’s main altar. Take it out, and I’ll turn around and leave.”

Of course Wu Lingjun thought that the other party was talking about the treasures of the Thousand Corpse Sect, but how could she possibly spit out the benefits she had already eaten?

However, Lu Cheng's mind turned and he realized that the other party might not be talking about the treasures of the Thousand Corpse Sect, but the nine golden corpses that he had captured and taken away. However, no matter whether it was the golden corpses or the treasures, he and his second senior sister would never hand them over.
