Between Xiyang City and Qinglan Sect, there is almost all desert, and the sun is shining brightly, as if being burned by fire.
On the way, Li Lingzhou and Jiang Chen briefly reviewed what happened that day. They nodded repeatedly as they seemed to have a plan to make money.
Her sword-driving style was swaying, basically relying on waves, but her speed was extremely fast, and she soon reached Qinglan Sect.
At the moment, the Qinglan Sect is still repairing the mountain-protecting formation, and is fully investigating the Demon Sect's spies and the fox demon Liu Ruyan.
Jiang Chen was glad that he escaped so quickly!
Li Lingzhou led Jiang Chen directly to the main summit hall. When he didn't see Luo Qingzhou, he shouted:
"Luo Qingzhou, come see me quickly!"
Luo Qingzhou, who was resting in the cave, had a numb scalp and had to drag his weak body to the main hall.
Luo Qingzhou's body and bones were already weak, and he was severely injured by the devil's energy the day before yesterday. Just standing was already at his limit.
There is no way, Li Lingzhou is here. If others are to receive him, the disaster caused by accidentally saying the wrong thing may be greater than the devil.
Arriving at the main hall, Li Lingzhou was as prosperous as ever.
In the past, when she came to Qinglan Sect, she would always bring a pretty beauty with her.
Today, she brought a handsome male Qi-refining cultivator with her.
He has known Li Lingzhou for 500 years, but he has finally changed his mind?
"Senior Sister Li, you are well, this little friend is..."
Li Lingzhou didn't hide it either.
"This is Jiang Chen, an old disciple of your sect. He was also an eyewitness when the female devil attacked the mountain. Now he is my subordinate."
A disciple who witnessed the female devil's attack on the mountain?
Luo Qingzhou's expression froze.
He originally wanted to lie to Li Lingzhou and say that he was the female devil he risked his life to drive away.
It's over now. Li Lingzhou came well prepared. Today, these two people will join forces to make a fuss and make money.
"I didn't expect Senior Sister Li to be interested in men."
Luo Qingzhou said with a stiff expression.
Li Lingzhou sat down on the principal's chair and went straight to the topic without chatting with Luo Qingzhou:
"I know everything about what happened three days ago. Tian Mingye single-handedly penetrated the Qinglan Sect.
Even though she was trapped by your sect elders and swallowed the demonic energy, she can still transform into a demon and kill all living beings, which is definitely not something you, a Nascent Soul cultivator, or the rest of the gang can defeat.
The female devil obviously suffered a big loss, but she didn't take revenge. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Luo Qingzhou gritted his teeth not to be fooled and coughed twice subconsciously.
"Perhaps Tian Mingye is not a cruel and murderous person after all."
Li Lingzhou took a sip of wine and sneered:
"You said that the female devil who massacred more than ten cities in the Huo Fen Kingdom was not a murderous person?
She conveniently killed the two elders around you, why did she spare your life?
Think about it, whose classmate are you?"
Luo Qingzhou got tired of hearing this, so he simply showed his cards and took out a bag containing spiritual stones.
"Our sect is repairing the mountain-protecting formation, and it's time to use money. Here are five hundred spiritual stones given by Luo, which can be used to pay for Senior Sister Li's travel expenses and the use of her reputation."
five hundred?
Li Lingzhou took a sip of wine and said calmly:
"Although my reputation is worthless, I have saved five thousand disciples of your Qinglan Sect. Are the lives of five thousand disciples worthless?"
Luo Qingzhou coughed continuously and looked up to the sky and sighed:
"However, Mr. Luo's life and financial resources are all exhausted, and he really can't come up with more money."
Due to his classmate relationship, Li Lingzhou couldn't push him too hard, so he had to turn his head and look at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was well prepared and calmly spoke:
"The year before last, our sect discovered underground mineral veins in East Fifty Miles. It is conservatively estimated that the excavated crystal mines have produced hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.
Last year, Head Luo gave Huang Maple Valley a gift of 80,000 spiritual stones in order to marry the prodigy of Huang Maple Valley.
This year, Master Luo purchased Zhang Wanxiang’s masterpiece "View of the Mountain from a Thousand Miles" for a price of eight thousand spiritual stones."
Luo Qingzhou's tone was choked.
Pointing at Jiang Chen, a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
Then he staggered and fell to the ground...
It's a pity that the acting skills are not up to par.
In the end, they paid 5,000 spiritual stones to send away the god Li Lingzhou and the traitor Jiang Chen.
…
On the way back to the city, Li Lingzhou wished he could hold Jiang Chen in his arms and walk on the hot desert.
"You look like a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You are really capable of dealing with the Mother Sect without even a single blow!"
Jiang Chen didn't answer and only extended his hand.
Li Lingzhou pretended not to know what Jiang Chen meant, took his hand and looked at it carefully.
"I think your boy is going to be lucky recently. If you hook up with a little girl, don't forget me. Let's play together."
Jiang Chen had a straight face, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.
"My five hundred spirit stones!"
Li Lingzhou sighed.
Jiang Chen really contributed a lot to making five thousand spirit stones for nothing this time.
She also wanted to win over Jiang Chen, a younger brother with a special physique, so she gritted her teeth and took out the bag of five hundred spirit stones and threw it to Jiang Chen gracefully.
"If I had asked for money earlier, how could I, Li Lingzhou, break my promise?"
Jiang Chen put away the kit and patiently counted the spirit stones. He found exactly five hundred spirit stones, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
With the spirit stones and the demonic energy in the demonic niche, and now only some demonic energy is missing, you can explosively improve your cultivation level in a short period of time.
Jiang Chen thought of the Thousand-faced Fox again, and that noble lady...
In order to please Jiang Chen, Li Lingzhou not only fulfilled the contract and paid him, but also put his arm around his shoulders and brought a sip of fragrant wine to his lips.
Jiang Chen choked on a mouthful of wine and his face turned red.
After tasting it carefully... I found out that it was fake wine, not as fragrant and delicious as the saliva from the mouth of the altar.
His beautiful and chaotic eyes were spinning back and forth. Li Lingzhou seemed to have thought of a new way to make money, and asked Jiang Chen in a low voice:
"Do you have any connections to know Tian Mingye?"
"No."
Jiang Chen was determined.
He heard Li Lingzhou's evil plan.
The last time Luo Qingzhou asked Li Lingzhou to rescue him, he promised to give her 10,000 spirit stones, but Jiang Chen only agreed to help her get her salary. If he secretly joined forces with Tian Mingye to make money with crooked ideas, wouldn't it be blackmailing the mother sect?
Jiang Chen is unwilling to live with such despicable behavior.
Li Lingzhou pushed Jiang Chen's shoulder away and muttered unhappily.
"It's boring."
While they were talking, the two of them actually hiked to the top of a certain Flame Mountain.
It was a crisp spring day, and this place was still a natural furnace, and even the air was distorted by the scorching heat.
Jiang Chen didn't know what Li Lingzhou meant.
"Why don't we go back with our swords?"
Li Lingzhou strode to the top of the mountain. The gushing heat ignited her jar of fake wine, and she took the opportunity to drink it down with the fire.
Jiang Chen was stunned when he saw it.
Li Lingzhou let out a wine belch and then spoke eloquently.
"If you become my little brother, you won't get a salary.
If you want to get an official salary, you must at least become a third-class prison envoy in Xihe Prefecture, which requires at least a cultivation level in the Golden Core realm.
It is very difficult for you to improve your cultivation level in the short term.
However, your half-immortal physique is an advantage. I can conduct an in-depth examination of your basic spirit control, actual combat ability, and mind.
If all three are outstanding, I can apply for you to be specially appointed as the Prison Suppressor. When you enter the Prison Suppression Department, the monsters in the Prison Suppression Department will have their own ways to improve your cultivation.
For example, refining your Dantian; or dissecting your Dantian and manually shaping it; or simply replacing your Dantian with an artificial one..."
Isn't this a different kind of mechanical ascension?
Jiang Chen's scalp felt numb after hearing this.
"So, you want to take me for special training in the desert?"
Li Lingzhou nodded.
"You're the only one... It's hot enough here, and there are a lot of man-eating sandworms, and even giant sand monsters. You try to survive here for a month."
Extreme survival trial?
Jiang Chen was stunned and asked her:
"You wouldn't kill someone for a mere five hundred spirit stones, would you?"
It's impossible to hide the look in a person's eyes that wants to kill him. Fortunately, Li Lingzhou had no such intention.
She smiled contemptuously, then drew her sword and drew a large circle on the top of the Flame Mountain.
"I have designated a sword energy field within a radius of ten feet on the top of the mountain. Within this field, I can ensure that you will not die even once.
Of course, it can only help you kill the invincible sand monster and end the trial early. It does not guarantee that you will not die of thirst, starvation or spiritual exhaustion.
If you can't hold on anymore, or if it's been a month, if you draw your sword and stick it upside down on the top of the mountain, I will come to you and end this trial."
As soon as the sword domain is opened, the spiritual energy goes backwards, the flame veins reverse, and returns to normal after a while.
Jiang Chen could tell at a glance that the sword energy was extraordinary, and suddenly felt that she had thought quite carefully.
Although he doesn't want to be a prison guard, it is protected by the Sword Domain and is safe enough. There are also sandworm resources for him to practice and practice. It is good to wait for the main plot here.
The only thing he couldn't understand was why he had to insert his sword into the center of this woman's sword field to end the trial?
