Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 154 Huangquan Valley Exploration Map (late update)
Although third-level blood-exchanging flowers are rare, most of those present are masters in the Ningsha realm, and it is not difficult for them to obtain some blood-exchanging flowers at their level.

But the fourth-level blood-changing flower can be said to be extremely precious. The spiritual flower that looks like a blood orchid and is placed horizontally in the jade box is a treasure that can make up for the foundation of many cultivators.

However, many people's eyes were on Lu Cheng, because in the past six months, this Taoist Lin had purchased many blood-changing flowers at high prices several times. He even had disputes with his fellow Taoists many times because of this, but no one could stop him from buying those blood-changing flowers.

His magical instruments are sophisticated and his magical powers are amazing.

Now that a fourth-level blood-exchanging flower has appeared here, many people want to see how much price Master Lin is willing to pay this time.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a fourth-level blood-changing flower. It's a pity that the recipe for the elixir has not been researched yet, otherwise the price would be so high. Even so, the market price of this blood-changing flower should start at at least 160,000 spirit stones. The highest bidder wins."

Guo Lingbao was eager to get involved and at the same time wanted to improve the reputation of his own trade fair. He was afraid that the girl in yellow would be stage frightened, so he directly told her the price before she could say anything.

The starting price is 160,000 spirit stones, which is a bit expensive, but if you don’t have spirit stones, don’t even think about using external objects to make up for your own foundation.

"One hundred and seventy thousand!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand!"

"One hundred and ninety thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind the crowd, directly raising the price to 110,000, which immediately shattered the original fiery enthusiasm of the cultivators.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a lady in black robe walking towards them with two maids behind her.

This lady has soft eyebrows and gentle smiles, and her every move is in accordance with etiquette. At first glance, you will think she is a virtuous woman who takes care of her husband and children and manages the household. But if you look at her for a while longer, you can feel that she has a kind of charming style that comes from her bones, and her whole body exudes a mature feminine flavor.

"Friend Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."

The lady in black robe came up to Lu Cheng and bowed gracefully, but the two maids behind her glared at the Taoist.

"Recently, I have gained some insights in my Taoist practice and will be in seclusion for some time. Thank you for your concern, Madam Shi." Lu Cheng replied with both hands raised in salute.

Lin Wanrong, a cultivator from the Lin family of Ranmu Mountain, once became a Taoist partner with Shi Hu, a great independent cultivator. A hundred years later, Shi Hu failed in his attempt to reach the Jindan bottleneck, and his power was wasted and he died. Lin Wanrong inherited all of Shi Hu's inheritance and sold some of his magical instruments and spiritual objects to the Lin family.

It is said that there was a big quarrel over price during the process. He now lives in Qushui City and is rich, romantic and suave.

In the past six months, Lu Cheng had a conflict with a cultivator who was harassing Madam Shi over the blood flower exchange. After a fight, the two almost killed each other. As a result, the cultivator who was harassing Madam Shi had no face to stay in Qushui City and left, but Madam Shi continued to harass Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng didn't know why, but he felt that he seemed to have a special affinity with widows.

Lin Qingyue back then, his concubine Xue Yuzhen now, and this Madam Shi, this romantic relationship seems a little strange.

"Come here, pack this blood-changing flower for Fellow Daoist Lin and send it to his residence." Madam Shi looked at Lu Cheng with a fiery gaze, which seemed to contain some affection. However, this lady had peach blossom eyes, and she looked at everyone with affection.

Lu Cheng also just thought that she was grateful to him for driving away the stalker.

Most of the cultivators around looked at Lu Cheng with envy. Madam Shi was famous for her generosity in Qushui City, but this time he was going to give 300,000 spirit stones. As long as he complied, he could save himself many years of hard work and countless hardships. What's more, Madam Shi was absolutely a charming and beautiful woman.

Otherwise, the wandering cultivator Shi Hu would not have been willing to enter into a marriage alliance.

"not necessary"

Just when Lu Cheng was about to say, "I can pay for the 300,000 spirit stones myself."

The pretty girl in yellow suddenly knelt down and cried:
"My father has been in a coma until now because of this fourth-level blood-changing flower. If you want to buy this flower, you must save my father's life first!"

After these words were spoken, many monks present frowned.

"You are so unreasonable, little girl. You can sell this blood-changing flower for money and use the money to buy elixirs from a spiritual doctor or an alchemist. What does it have to do with us?"

"That's it."

The words of the local temple master Guo Lingbao attracted the approval of many monks present.

But the girl in yellow gritted her teeth and knelt there stubbornly, enduring the pressure but refusing to give in.

In fact, their family is a family that specializes in exploring mysterious places. This time, when they went to obtain the elixir, not only did they have familiar companions, but there were even trustworthy elixir doctors and alchemists in the team.

A spiritual doctor is a monk who specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases for monks. There is some overlap between him and an alchemist, but they are not the same.

This time, her father had suffered severe internal injuries from the blood-transfusing flower. The spiritual doctor in the team explained directly after the diagnosis:

"The alien magic power has invaded the meridians. Now the true essence has reversed the meridians. It is difficult for spiritual doctors and alchemists in the foundation-building stage to do anything. We can only hope for the monks in higher realms..."

And it seems that the only treasure that the family can use to invite high-level monks is this fourth-level elixir that his father exchanged his life for.

"My fellow seniors, you are all powerful upper-level cultivators, and you must have a way to save my father! If any senior can save my father, I am willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life to repay your kindness!"

As she spoke, the girl knocked her head down with great force, but it did not hit the ground.

Because Lu Cheng stepped forward and flicked his sleeves, he lifted her up.

"Let's go. Your request should be fulfilled as soon as possible. I will do my best to treat your father's injury, but I will definitely take this blood-changing flower away."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng bowed and said goodbye to Guo Lingbao, Madam Shi, and a few familiar Taoist friends, then waved a cloud of skull mist, wrapped the yellow-clothed girl and flew away.

Just as he passed the crowd and was about to fly away, Madam Shi below suddenly sent out a talisman that flew over. Lu Cheng waved his hand to take it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, then nodded to Madam Shi and sped away.

"What's your name?"

"My daughter Shen Xuezhu."

"From what you pointed out, the longer you delay internal injuries caused by the reversal of the meridians, the more difficult it will be to heal."

"Thank you, senior." Upon hearing that, Shen Xuezhu immediately made a gesture with her five fingers, trying to control the skeleton mist around her body. The mist was now as easy to control as her arms and followed her magic spells and thoughts to fly towards a direction in Qushui City at a very fast speed.

At this time, inside the Taoist temple trade fair.

"Have you invited Fellow Daoist Lin Cheng?"

"After he gets the fourth-level blood-changing flower, he should come here as invited."

"Haha, it seems that even though the lady is gorgeous, there are still people who are unwilling to be her slave."

Hearing this, Madam Shi glanced at Guo Lingbao with great charm, and then transmitted her thoughts with her spiritual consciousness:

"Although the identity of this fellow Daoist Lin Cheng is hard to determine, and his Daoism has cultivated a deep demonic nature, I always feel that he is more reliable than you. Even if he has never slept with me, he is still more reliable than you." "Madam, you are deeply in love and your mind is confused. When doing business, you still have to look for old friends."

On the other side, Lu Cheng and Shen Xuezhu had already arrived at a cave in Qushui City.

When they walked in, they saw that the cave was managed very well, with spiritual plants, ancient trees, ponds, water wheels, and a clear and organized aura, clearly the result of years of careful management.

"Did your father arrange this place?"

"It was arranged by my mother."

"Your mother has a talent for formations, but it's a pity that she hasn't studied it in depth."

Feng Shui, formation, sometimes some casual practitioners can learn something and achieve remarkable accomplishments by taking a few scattered Taoist books and studying them carefully.

But sometimes, some monks learn systematically, but end up being completely confused and unable to get started.

Tao follows nature, but it also makes people helpless.

"Miss is back!"

"Miss, you have invited someone, please make way!"

Lu Cheng entered the cave and saw that many cultivators had gathered in the cave. Lu Cheng could smell the bloody smell from these people.

They are a group of independent cultivators who are fighting for a spiritual herb or a spiritual stone with their lives. These cultivators have a hard time surviving and practicing, and basically they will never be able to smell the scent of foundation-building pill in their entire lives. Now, they are already extremely powerful characters among them, but they have no ability to resist at all if there is even the slightest storm.

"Xuezhu, is this the upper realm immortal master you invited? Please, immortal master, save my husband's life."

At this time, a well-maintained middle-aged woman ran out from the inner room and knelt down after seeing Shen Xuezhu and Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng ignored her and went straight into the inner room. As for the woman, Shen Xuezhu helped her up and comforted her.

On the bed in the inner room, there lay a middle-aged monk with a dark red complexion. He had a long beard and looked quite majestic, but his breathing was disordered and he subconsciously groaned in pain from time to time.

Lu Cheng stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and began to explore his lung meridians.

The reason why he dared to take on this matter was because after cultivating his life-blood fire, Lu Cheng's understanding of the way of life and death naturally became deeper and deeper, and now he is already half a spiritual doctor. Of course, he is the kind of person who is seriously biased.

If it was any other type of injury, Lu Cheng might not be sure of success, but “alien magic power invaded the meridians, and true essence reversed the meridians” and at the last moment, all of the opponent’s magic power was consumed. How could it not save his life?

It is really difficult for other cultivators to do so. Breaking open the Dantian of a seriously injured person and dissipating his magic power would not only cause him to die quickly, but also lead to his death.

Because Lu Cheng practiced the Heaven-stealing Spiritualization and the Great Five Elements Earth-Ending True Fire, he was able to dissolve all of his magical powers without harming his physical body.

At this moment, this person's condition is that the alien magic power has invaded his body and is constantly destroying it. His flesh is constantly damaged and his meridians are shrinking. His own magic power is still desperately resisting, but the battlefield is the cultivator's own body.

Ordinary medicine is useless in this situation. If other people's magic power is injected into it, it might further damage his body, so they are helpless.

"Lin Shangxiu, how is it?"

At this time, the girl in yellow, Shen Xuezhu, ran in and asked nervously.

Lu Cheng ignored her and pulled his father up and sat him upright on the bed. Then he waved his sleeves and controlled his fingers to perform the Heaven-stealing and Soul-transforming Technique. A chaotic hole seemed to appear with the two of them as the center, swallowing up all the magic power and energy.

"Go out, your father will be fine in two hours."

As the thought was transmitted by the spiritual consciousness, Shen Xuezhu felt a strong force surging the next moment. When she reacted, she found herself outside the room.

The last scene he saw was when the room was closed, Lin Shangxiu was sitting behind his father, and the two of them were floating in the air.

Lu Cheng practiced the Heaven-Snatching Spirit Transformation Technique. The reason why he seldom used this technique in recent years was because his own magical power was pure and profound, and with the guidance of the Five Elements Sword Intention, his magical power was generated at an incredible speed and seemed endless. Of course, there was no need to practice this technique without the cooperation of the Fourth-Level Star-Shooting Ring.

But in fact, this technique is still extremely powerful. As Lu Cheng's hands were operating, the light black gas shield surrounding the two people seemed to become distorted in range, and layers of chaotic holes appeared, directly absorbing a large amount of magic power from the middle-aged monk's body.

At the same time, Lu Cheng pressed his palm on the other's lower back, and a stream of energy flashed brightly at the junction of their bodies and quickly flowed into Lu Cheng's body.
"Ah..."

The middle-aged monk cried out in pain unconsciously, but after a moment, his expression of pain gradually eased.

Because a large amount of magic power in the body has been absorbed and taken away, the atrophied meridians in the body can only bear the remaining magic power.

Lu Cheng scanned the area with his spiritual sense, absorbed and dispersed the alien magic power in his body, and finally used the Five Elements Earth True Fire to temper his magic power. After making sure there was no problem, he slowly dispersed his power.

After Lu Cheng's treatment, this person's life was definitely saved, and his magic power became slightly purer. However, his original magic power of the eighth level of foundation building was reduced to the fifth level, and his own magic power was contaminated by Lu Cheng's true fire magic. If he does not overcome and dispel it by himself, there will be no room for improvement in the future. No one can help him at this step.

However, considering his age, the possibility of him advancing to the Ningsha realm in the future is extremely low, so it is not a problem.

Two hours later, Lu Cheng walked out of the room, and at this time, the middle-aged cultivator named Shen had regained consciousness and woke up.

Shen Xuezhu, her mother, and a group of old brothers were naturally surprised when they entered.

"Thank you, thank you Lin Shangxiu for saving my life." After being excited about seeing her father wake up, Shen Xuezhu turned around and came out to greet Lu Cheng, but was still brushed away by Lu Cheng.

"Two things. First, I bought your fourth-level blood-changing flower for 160,000 spirit stones, but I don't need you as a slave anymore, so I think we're even. Second, are you cultivators who have explored deep into the Yellow Spring Valley? If so, can you give me a map of the Yellow Spring Valley's underground? I can buy it with spirit stones."

"Please wait a moment, benefactor. What is the point of talking about buying something with your great kindness? I will ask my father to hand over the map to you right away."

Not long after, Shen Xuezhu came out to invite Lu Cheng in, but it turned out that the middle-aged cultivator named Shen had already sat up, holding a beast skin scroll in his hand.

This person also knew how to repay a favor and wanted to personally explain some of the key points to Lu Cheng.

An hour later, Lu Cheng left the Shen family's cave. He had an exploration map of the Yellow Springs Valley in his hand. At the same time, Shen Longcheng had agreed to invite fellow practitioners for him and buy the exploration map of the Yellow Springs Valley from their hands, which saved Lu Cheng a lot of time.

As a reward for this, Lu Cheng left behind several bottles of elixirs that could increase the magic power of foundation-building cultivators, so that Shen Longcheng could recover his magic power as quickly as possible after his injury.

While flying over Qushui City, Lu Cheng noticed that many civilians below were migrating under the guidance of officials.

Disasters like earthquakes are nothing to cultivators. Even if they are just cultivators in the innate realm, they are strong and have quick reactions and will not be easily harmed by an earthquake.

But for ordinary people, the frequent earthquakes in the Qushui city area during this period were really terrible. The ground cracked, houses collapsed, and countless people were destroyed. Therefore, local officials led the people to migrate temporarily and return to their homes after the local veins stabilized.

“No matter what era it is, mortals without power suffer the most.”

With a slight sigh in his heart, Lu Cheng accelerated his flying sword and headed towards the cultivator's cave that Madam Shi had given him before.
