Chapter 135 The beast tide is coming

"You will know later."

Lu Changan took him to Xiaodan Peak without any explanation.

Ye Fei looked at the quiet and indifferent back in white clothes and suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

He had an intuition that the reason why this rumored elderly foundation-building monk chose him should have some deep meaning.

Xiaodan Peak is the highest main peak of Wuqi Mountain. It is majestic and has beautiful peaks. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the atmosphere is magnificent.

Ye Fei changed his lazy look and carefully looked at every plant and tree on the mountain.

He stretched his eyebrows, took a deep breath of the cool air on the top of the mountain, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

“The environment is good.”

The previous owner of Xiaodanfeng was a second-level high-grade alchemist, and the preserved garden architecture and layout met his needs.

Ye Fei immediately paid a deposit for the spiritual stone and signed the spiritual contract.

The formal spiritual contract for the shared tenancy must be signed under the witness of the monks from Jinyun Valley after Shi Manrong returns.

On the top of the mountain, the two chatted for a while.

Lu Changan learned more about Ye Fei's situation.

Ye Fei is several dozen years younger than Lu Changan. He has had outstanding pharmacological talents since he was a child. Both his parents are casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining, so his background is not bad.

After avenging his parents, Ye Fei wandered around various cities and fairy cities for decades, mainly working in drug stores and accepting employment from the chamber of commerce.

In recent years, he had saved a little and wanted to find a stable and independent training center. Wuqi Mountain was a good choice. It had a good location, an acceptable shared rental price, and he could also earn spiritual stones.

As a pharmacist, Ye Fei can also make alchemy, but his attainments are not as specialized as those of an alchemist of the same level.

However, he is also good at treating diseases, healing injuries, detoxifying, etc.

The ability is relatively comprehensive.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, the 'Kong Mao' weapon refiner who competed with you earlier. Are you familiar with this person?"

Lu Changan thought of the black-bearded old man who had hidden his cultivation before.

"Fellow Taoist Kong Mao? Ye only has a casual acquaintance with him and doesn't know much about him."

"Fellow Daoist Kong originally came from a city within the Liuyun Sect's influence in the northern region of Liang. More than ten years ago, the city where Daoyou Kong was located was attacked by robber cultivators and fell apart. He lost his place and came to Huanglong Fairy City. These

He is a diligent and conscientious monk who keeps a low profile."

"oh."

Lu Changan nodded and did not ask further questions.

The basic information he had received before was that Kong Mao came from around Huanglong Fairy City, and it turned out that he came earlier from Fang City on the north side of the Black Mist Mountains.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have to go back to pack my things and purchase some resources."

Ye Fei stayed for half an hour and then stood up to leave.



Lu Changan returned to Xiaogui Peak and fell into deep thought.

"Kong Mao's origins can be traced, and there are no obvious flaws. However, this person appears to be in the early stage of foundation building, but his true cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building."

The ultra-thin mask Kong Mao wore was a disguised treasure, and his identity was probably replaced.

Lu Changan's mind had previously been fused with the second life of the Nine Seal Monument, and his spiritual consciousness and senses had increased, comparable to the real person Jiedan, and only then did he notice the clues.

At that time, he did not try to break through the mask treasure, otherwise he would be noticed by the other party.

In any case, "Kong Mao" definitely had bad intentions when he came to Wuqi Mountain to compete for the peak master.

Although he didn't become the peak master, he still came in to find out the truth.

For Lu Changan, as long as the other party fails to sneak in, there is no real threat.

Xiaogui Peak has a double mountain protection formation.

Lu Changan is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, a second-level senior talisman master, and has a second-level mid-level spiritual pet.

Just using the above-mentioned method is enough to build the foundation in the late stage, and even has a chance of winning.

Alertness is definitely indispensable.

In the future, Lu Changan will increase the formation activation strength of Little Turtle Peak and Cave Mansion, and the consumption of spiritual stones will increase accordingly.

At the same time, Guan Qiaozhi was told not to leave Wuqi Mountain unless necessary. If you have anything to do, you can ask the casual cultivators attached to the main peak to take care of it.



One month later.

Shi Manrong returned to Wuqi Mountain and helped Ye Fei, who had officially settled in, arrange the mountain protection formation.

When setting up the formation, Lu Changan watched from a distance and felt that Master Manrong's formation skills had improved significantly in the past few years, and his cultivation was also steadily improving.

This may have something to do with joining Huanglongshan.

After the formation was set up, Lu Changan approached Shi Manrong to discuss the matter.

"Fairy Master, if the scale of the beast tide is large, it is inevitable that some fish that have slipped through the net will break through the front line and have an impact on the surrounding areas. At that time, there may be those who fish in troubled waters."

"Lu suggested strengthening the deployment of warning formations in Wuqi Mountain."

The cost of the warning array is not high, and it mainly depends on the attainments of the array master.

Shi Manrong thought for a while and agreed to Lu Changan's proposal.

Although Shi Xianzi does not currently live permanently in Wuqi Mountain, the spiritual assets that have been cultivated with decades of hard work on Xiaopan Peak are still taken care of by maids and servants.

Furthermore, her cooperation with Huanglongshan is only temporary, and the future is uncertain, so she still needs to leave a way out.

In the following days, Shi Xianzi deployed some hidden warning formations in Wuqi Mountain.

The expenses of setting up the formation were borne by the three peak masters. Regarding their own safety, the newcomer Ye Fei had no objection.

A few more months passed.

The foundation-building deacons of Jinyun Valley arrived at Wuqi Mountain, and the three peak masters re-signed the joint spiritual contract.

After doing this, Shi Manrong immediately returned to Huanglong Fairy City.

Lu Changan had a feeling that Huanglongshan's heavy recruitment of master Man Rong was not just to deal with the beast tide.



One year later, Lu Changan turned 106 years old.

On this day, he completed his daily practice and nourishment with treasure talismans.

Get out of the cave.

As usual, he looked north.

I could faintly sense the invisible evil wind and evil spirit, venting out from the ancient mountains to the north.

"Here we come." Lu Changan murmured.

In the past six months, he has been watching the north, and judged the general stage of the beast tide through the crude method of looking at the energy in his previous life.

Wuqi Mountain is not like Huanglong Fairy City, which is located on the front line of the beast tide.

Its geographical location is some distance away from the Black Mist Mountains and is relatively safe.

Even so, Lu Changan remained concerned and vigilant.

Ten days later, news from the front reached Wuqi Mountain.

"Brother Lu, a tide of beasts broke out in the Black Mist Mountains. Huanglong Immortal City and the nearby cultivating forces were attacked by a swarm of monsters."

Guan Qiaozhi came over to report, with a solemn and urgent expression.

"Well, it won't affect our side for the time being."

The old god Lu Changan is here.

The essence of the beast tide is that there are many kinds of monsters, and their reproduction power is too strong, which cannot be tolerated by the Black Mist Mountain Range. The high-level monsters drive out some low-level monster groups from the inside out.

The driven group of monsters and beasts have an instinctive need to practice and will give priority to attacking the spiritual land of human territory.

During the beast tide, high-level monsters will secretly control and try to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their territory.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the demon clan was powerful, most of the Liang Kingdom fell and became the territory of the demon beasts.

Immortal cultivators are also targets of attacks by monsters and beasts.

The flesh and blood of ordinary mortals is not very attractive to monsters and beasts, and its taste is average.

But the flesh and blood of immortal cultivators nourished by spiritual energy is a rare tonic to monsters, like a torch in the dark night.



The first month of the beast outbreak.

The major cultivating forces adjacent to the Black Mist Mountains were attacked by a tidal wave of monsters.

The first to bear the brunt are forces such as the Huanglong Immortal City and the Beast Controlling Zhou Family. Their prosperity has relied on the precious land of the Black Mist Mountains, and they have experience in dealing with this.

These frontline forces do not fight alone. The Immortal Cultivation Sect issues missions and calls on its disciples to go to the frontline to hunt monsters.

There are also demon-hunting monks who want to make a fortune from monster materials, and they arrive at the front line enthusiastically.

In addition to guarding the city and hunting monsters, cultivators of immortality and various arts provide logistical supplies, which can be exchanged for more rewards than usual.

The area around Wuqi Mountain is still calm.

Lu Changan clearly noticed that more monks came to buy talismans.

Even the first-order puppets have become best-sellers.

Ye Fei's Xiaodanfeng has just started and business is good.

"Qiaozhi, starting from tomorrow, the prices of all talismans and puppets will increase by 20% to 30%."

Lu Changan handed a jade tube to Guan Qiaozhi.

During this special period, the supply volume is larger and will not attract attention.

The signs of the beast tide appeared several years ago.

It is common for craftsmen with foresight to stock up on "war necessities" in advance.

Lu Changan's price increase is relatively conscientious.

Although he did not fight on the front lines, he provided war supplies at the back, which could be regarded as a contribution to human civilization.



Another two months passed.

News came from the front line that the scale of the beast tide was extraordinary. One city and two immortal cultivating families in the foundation-building stage had already been defeated by the beast tide.

The prices of talismans, elixirs, magical instruments and other items on the market continue to rise.

Lu Changan has an inventory of first- and lower-grade talismans on hand, which increases consumption.

Fortunately, he has enough stock in hand.

I had previously purchased a lot of talisman materials in Huanglong Fairy City.

However, according to this trend, the talisman material cannot last for long.

Lu Changan is not worried about this.

He believes that it won't be long before a large amount of materials will flow from the front line.

Moreover, the geographical location of Wuqi Mountain makes it more convenient to go to frontline stations such as Huanglongxian City for purchasing.

This day.

Guan Qiaozhi outside the cave screamed and looked panicked.

In the sky above Wuqi Mountain, a demonic wind swept across.

The shadows of several demonic birds were wandering among the clouds, staring at the land of spiritual veins below.

The leading black demon bird, with a wingspan of five to six feet, is an early-stage second-order demon bird, and the other three are late-stage first-order demon birds.

"Don't panic. It's just a normal fish that slips through the net. It's easier for the demon bird to leave the front line and enter the interior of Liang Kingdom."

Lu Changan restrained his magic power and told the rock rat not to show his face.

It takes two or three months for the beast tide to hit.

Those in the spiritual vein areas behind them have just seen the shadow of the monster beast.



When the demonic bird attacks, Xiaodanfeng and Xiaopanfeng, several miles away, activate defensive formations.

Lu Changan was just trying to collect some talisman materials, but he didn't fully open the formation. Xiao Guifeng's killing formation and defensive formation were only half-hidden.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and a sharp neighing sound came from far to near.

The leader of the second-order black demon bird stared sharply at the mysterious water turtle beside the lotus pond.

Four birds kill towards Little Turtle Peak.

The Xuanshui Turtle shivered and looked eagerly at Lu Changan at the entrance of the cave, who ordered it to stay where it was.

thump!

The black water turtle sank into the water, leaving only its huge shell exposed.

The leader of the second-order black bird reached the top of the mountain, his eyes were alert, and his body suddenly stopped.

Wow!

Large waves of water formed around the top of the mountain, while an illusory blue moon hung in the sky.

With the illusive blue moon as the center, a dark blue water curtain covers the top of Xiaogui Peak and the cave, isolating it from the outside world.

This is the second-level mid-level phantom killing formation deployed by Shi Manrong at Xiaogui Peak, called the "Huan Yue Water Brake Formation".

Bo~

Within the formation, a blue ripple emitted black light, like a large twisted net, passing by several demonic birds.

Three late-stage first-order demonic birds froze in mid-air, and their bloody corpses fell down.
