Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 150 New Herbs, Blood Rain Tower
After entering the inn, Manager Zheng waved away his attendants and led Lu Cheng into a secret room. There was a rather complicated formation in the secret room. Manager Zheng pressed in the spirit stone, and then Lu Cheng felt a magical ban covering the entire room.

Although Manager Zheng's work was not very good, he still looked good.

Lu Cheng sat down, and Manager Zheng stood aside, waiting for orders.

"Is there any noteworthy news in the City That Never Sleeps recently?"

"A lot of things happened, but the only thing that deserves your attention is the blood transfusion in Huangquan Valley of Burning Wood Mountain!

In recent years, I don’t know if it’s because of the surging earth energy or too much animal blood, but some small red flowers have grown with Huangquan Valley as the center. After some cultivators checked and found that it contained spirituality, naturally there were spiritual doctors and alchemists who studied its medicinal properties.

Finally, it was concluded that this herb named "Blood-Changing Flower" is as spiritual as a third-level spiritual medicine and has the effect of improving the foundation of monks. "

"………Is the news correct?"

When Lu Cheng heard the news, his first reaction was to remain silent for a while, and then he felt a little bit unbelievable.

It’s because the effect of improving the foundation of monks is somewhat beyond reality. What does it mean to improve the foundation of monks?

After taking it, the cultivator's body, blood, consciousness, magic power and even lifespan are all improved.

Alchemists have to be careful with their wording. Nourishing the body, replenishing qi and blood, cultivating spiritual consciousness, and boosting magical power; doing only one or two of these is not considered cultivating the foundation.

Many alchemists have studied for their entire lives but have never been able to achieve this kind of effect or refine such a pill.

Now you dare to say that a wild magical medicine can nourish the root?
The shopkeeper Zheng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I didn't believe it when I first got the news, but it didn't take long for the news to spread and was acknowledged by many alchemists. One or two alchemists can make mistakes, but could the top five alchemists in the Never-Sleeping City make the same mistake in identifying the properties of the medicine? I have to believe it after all."

"Has this message been sent to the sect?"

"It has been sent, and the sect's response is to wait and see."

Most of the twelve top sects, except for emerging sects like Huoyun Mansion, have elixirs that can improve the foundation of cultivators who practice Qi training and build foundation.

So far, only the third-level blood-exchanging flowers have appeared. If the fourth-level or even the fifth-level blood-exchanging flowers appear, then southern Xinjiang will be in trouble.

Lu Cheng's foundation was indeed weak when he was training Qi, but after he was promoted to the foundation building stage, his foundation was made up. After he was promoted to the Condensing Evil Realm and cultivated his own blood and fire, his foundation was even stronger, so the third-level blood-changing flower was useless to him. But if he was promoted from the Condensing Evil Realm to the Refining Gang Realm, or even refined the golden elixir, if there was a fourth-level or even fifth-level blood-changing flower, this kind of spiritual medicine would be extremely tempting to Lu Cheng.

The higher the realm a cultivator cultivates, the more difficult it becomes. The herbs and pills that can make up for the foundation will greatly increase the tolerance rate, so that the cultivator won't take a wrong step and be unable to turn back.

"Have you heard any news about 'Yijian Immortal Ape' Liu Baihong recently?"

"I will send someone to investigate immediately."

"So, what's the recent development of Xingshen Temple?"

Most monks have good memories, so Manager Zheng can remember any information after a little thought.

"It is said that Lady Lishan sent a group of disciples to Huangquan Valley to collect blood-changing flowers. She attaches great importance to this kind of spiritual medicine."

"Okay, now tell me a place in the city that never sleeps where I can buy all kinds of secret information."

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency. I am incompetent. Well, if Your Excellency is interested, I think the Blood Rain Tower is a good place."

Not long after, Lu Cheng left the secret place.

Through this clan secret agent, he at least learned about the "Blood-Changing Flower" and that Liu Baihong had not been caught by the monks of Burning Wood Mountain. That day, Lu Cheng went to a dilapidated Taoist temple in the Never-Sleeping City.

He lit three incense sticks in the Taoist temple, then came to the blind old Taoist, took out a bamboo stick, pressed it on the table and said: "The dark wind blows into the night, and the bloody rain takes away souls."

Then, ignoring the blind old Taoist's reaction, he turned and left the Taoist temple.

Because of the special nature of the industry they are engaged in and the fact that they have experienced several crackdowns, Xueyu Tower is somewhat selective with its customers, but they still respond quickly.

Two days later, when Lu Cheng was strolling in the street looking for bargains, he had just walked into a dark and secluded alley when he saw a blood-red rainbow flying towards him. Faintly, he could see several blood-like rickshaw drivers carrying a blood-red sedan chair.

Lu Cheng did not resist, but let himself be put into the sedan chair. Then he closed his eyes and rested.

Not long after, Lu Cheng found himself seeming to be passing through some kind of legal domain.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pitch-black Taoist temple.

In the center of the Taoist temple, there was a man wearing a black robe and a hood, with only a pair of eyes showing.

"Welcome, Master of the Five Elements Sword Land, to visit my Blood Rain Tower. I truly feel honored."

"Then, can you give me some discounts on the fees later?"

Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, as long as the news is accurate, I believe that Fellow Daoist Lu will not mind a mere ten thousand spirit stones. In Southern Xinjiang, the Blood Rain Tower is probably more well-informed than the Never-Sleeping City and Burning Wood Mountain."

"Okay. I want to know three things. First, is the matter of the blood-changing flower true? What role did the Ranmu Mountain Lin family play in it? Second, all the news you know about the 'Yijian Immortal Ape' Liu Baihong. Third, all the public news about the Xingshen Temple."

"Please have a taste of the spiritual tea from my Blood Rain Tower. After a cup of tea, all the information you want will be presented to you."

The man in black robe did not lie. After a cup of tea, all the information about the three events were compiled into three jade slips and appeared in front of Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng held the jade slip in his hand and put his mind into it:
The Blood-Exchange Flower does exist and can indeed improve the foundation of cultivators. A cultivator from the Blood Rain Tower has already stolen this flower to test its medicinal properties.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the Lin family of Burning Wood Mountain responded quickly and immediately blocked the news. Unfortunately, the information about the blood-changing flower had already spread, and it was said that even monks from the major sects in the Middle Earth were rushing here. With the power of the Lin family, it was no longer possible to block it, and now it has begun to shrink the family's power to avoid being affected.

More than forty years ago, the sword-wielding immortal ape Liu Baihong was hunted down by the monks of the Ranmu Mountain. He narrowly escaped death several times, but he managed to break through in the dangerous and desperate situation, cultivated an underground foundation, and even killed a monk from the Ranmu Mountain with his sword.

Recently, some people have seen him appearing in the southeast forest.

Lin Qingyue, the Taiyin Star Lord, joined the Xingshen Temple more than 40 years ago. Because he was good at business and had suffered emotional injuries, he was highly favored and valued by the Lishan Goddess. She specially used the "Dou Mu Yi Qi Jue" to make up for his lack of primordial yin, change his tendons and cleanse his marrow. At the age of 70, he had already cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of foundation building. He is one of the most outstanding disciples of the current Xingshen Temple.

Seeing that all these old friends were safe and sound, Lu Cheng felt relieved.

Although we were impersonators back then, the friendship we established was real. If any of them died, I would have to kill for them without any hesitation.

Of course, the fact is that I have never really quit smoking.

"Very good, I am satisfied. So, how many spirit stones does this information cost?"

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Lu, don't be anxious. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu is interested in joining the Blood Rain Tower?" The man in black suddenly asked this after Lu Cheng read the jade slip.
