The same goes for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong behind them, looking more enthusiastic than last time.
Apparently because of the last guess, the two of them had a much higher opinion of Song Zhishu and were no longer as indifferent as before.
And they came to say goodbye.
"Three fellow Taoists are leaving?"
Song Zhishu spoke with some surprise in his words. The three of them had basically been in Qingzhou City to accept the mission of Wanshi Pavilion and go out to slay demons, but they would be back in two or three days at most. Now they came here specifically to say goodbye, fearing that they would have to leave for a while.
"yes."
"That mission is about to begin. It will take some time. We may not be able to return in the short term."
Lin Cheng smiled and explained the reason. After a pause, he continued: "Fellow Daoist Song, what are you thinking about? Do you want to join us?"
Nearly a month passed, but Song Zhishu never took the initiative to come. He was a little disappointed, thinking that the other party might decide not to be together, but Lin Cheng still didn't give up completely, and planned to ask one last time.
After all, the task is indeed somewhat difficult. If a strong foreign aid joins, it will be much easier for the three of them.
The eyes of Wang Chong and Li Xiansong were filled with some expectation. The foundation-building monks from the aristocratic sects were indeed worthy of their repeated invitations.
Hearing this, Song Zhishu was silent at first. Indeed, he had basically stayed in the inn for this period of time and had never gone out at all. He was either practicing or engraving jade. Although he had gained something, he could not do other things. It was different from when he left.
The ideas are somewhat different.
If you know what you do, you must do it.
And he could also see that these three people were indeed invited sincerely, otherwise they would not have come here specially before leaving.
As for the reason, Song Zhishu can also guess some, maybe because he values his own strength.
Although he has always emphasized that he is a casual cultivator, after all, he has lived in Taihao Sword Sect for more than ten years. It is difficult for Song Zhishu to get rid of the characteristics of the disciples of the sect in a short period of time, and the disciples of the sect will indeed be regarded by ordinary casual cultivators.
Take a look.
As for the tasks mentioned by the three people, it has been stated before that the rewards are generous, so they can indeed give it a try.
Furthermore, there are only about twenty channels of Haoran's righteousness left in his body. The amount is so small that even the Lingyuan Pill will take longer to refine.
Go out and kill monsters, you can make up for it, and you can also open the next jade box.
With his thoughts at this point, Song Zhishi raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin has invited me again and again. If I refuse, it would indeed be a bit unkind."
"Then did Fellow Daoist Song agree?"
Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and there was some surprise in his words.
At first he wanted to give up, but he never thought that there would be a bright future.
"Yes."
Song Zhisei smiled and nodded.
"good."
Lin Cheng immediately beamed when he got the exact answer, feeling that the long wait was finally not in vain.
But soon he stopped smiling, with a serious look on his face: "But Brother Daoist Song, there are some things that I want to talk about first, that is, after the completion of this mission, according to the old rules of the three of us, everything will be equally distributed.
, Of course, if Fellow Daoist Song contributes a lot at that time, we can take more depending on the situation, and we can discuss it."
Before officially starting, you must clearly explain the most important things to avoid getting confused and troublesome later.
Equal distribution can minimize disputes and is also the way to survive outside the community.
However, Lin Cheng also knew that some things should not be said too fully.
What if the opponent really made a great contribution and is an indispensable person in the team? You must get more.
"Just listen to Fellow Daoist Lin."
Song Zhishu had no objection to this, but rather appreciated Lin Cheng's attitude in settling things in advance.
Within the sect, there are still rules that bind the disciples, and they dare not go too far.
But it's different for the casual cultivators outside. There are quite a few people who betray the enemy in the middle, or even do something secretly. Therefore, the basis for forming a team is to rely on integrity and speak clearly and thoroughly in advance.
Lin Cheng was walking outside and obviously knew this very well, so he said it.
And his words made the two people next to him turn their heads to look at Song Zhishu.
Obviously he cares about this matter very much.
"no problem."
Song Zhishu did not hesitate or refuse.
The biggest purpose of my trip is not to earn spiritual stones.
But if you want to go out for a walk, you only need to gain Confucian righteousness by killing demons, so the distribution of spiritual stones is not too fussy.
If you really care about this, why not engrave gems in an inn? You won’t earn more than you would outside? And it’s also safer.
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
When Lin Cheng saw Song Zhishu agreeing immediately, he felt completely relieved.
Some sect disciples had high self-esteem and looked down on casual cultivators, and would be aggressive in terms of income from missions, but Song Zhishu didn't care, which made him very happy, and at the same time he felt that he had not found the wrong person.
The other two people felt the same way. They felt that the Song Zhishu in front of them was indeed different from the disciples of the aristocratic sects they had met before, and they had a good impression of him.
Lin Cheng showed a smile and spoke again: "In this way, Fellow Daoist Song, please wait quietly in the inn for three days while making preparations. We will meet at the gate of the East City in three days. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Song?"
The three days were spent preparing to buy some elixirs and talismans, which was also their previous plan.
"Okay, see you at the east city gate in three days."
Song Zhishu nodded. He had already prepared a lot of things in Taihao Sword Sect. He had everything he needed, but there was nothing prepared. But it happened to be that these days could be used to stabilize his cultivation. After all, he had just made a breakthrough.
The few of them chatted for a while, and Lin Cheng and others said nothing more and left the aisle.
Song Zhishu closed the door tightly and began to meditate.
Cultivation in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.
It does take some getting used to.
At the same time, he sorted out the talismans and various healing elixirs in his hands in case of emergency.
Soon, three days flew by.
Early that morning, the sun rose in the east.
The clouds and fog shrouding Qingzhou City have not dissipated yet, bringing with it a slight chill.
Song Zhishu left the guest room early in the morning, packed his things, and walked straight to the agreed upon place.
At the gate of the east city, three people were already waiting here. They were Lin Cheng and his party.
"Brother Lin, the price of frost talismans has increased recently. I didn't prepare much this time, so I bought a few speed talismans and some elixirs. I may need to borrow some from you." The dark-faced, short Wang
He opened his mouth and looked a little bitter.
For casual cultivators like them, once they have the basic spiritual stones, they will be spent and they won’t be able to save much because they all have to be used for practice.
"It's the same thing here. I didn't buy any talismans or anything like that, but fortunately the price of the formation stones has been reduced, so it's enough."
Li Xiansong also spoke. He had the lowest individual strength among the three, but he had a minor in formation, which was very useful, so his position in the team was very important.
"No problem, just enough is enough. You don't have to buy too much."
Lin Cheng smiled and was about to say something more, but soon saw a familiar figure not far away and immediately said: "Fellow Daoist Song is here."
"Three fellow Taoists."
At this moment, Song Zhishu spoke gently. He was dressed in white and had a straight body, but he looked very low-key and had no decorations on his body. He bowed slightly when he came closer and continued: "When will we set off?"
"Fellow Daoist Song is not busy, there is only one person left."
Lin Cheng returned the gift and said that there was still one person who had not come, so he had to continue waiting.
"good."
Song Zhishu nodded and didn't think it was anything. The more people there were, it meant that the mission was not only dangerous, but also the reward might be more than expected. After all, one more person would mean an extra share. Besides, he was just joining this time, not taking the lead.
Naturally, we have to follow Lin Cheng's arrangements.
"It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Song is here too. I will briefly explain what we are good at so that we can better cooperate."
Lin Cheng saw that there was still a while before the appointed time, so he said directly: "Brother Wang is good at flying swords, his methods are extremely fast, and if the speed talisman is added, the power can be further increased. At the same time, Brother Wang is also good at tracking the aura of monsters.
"
"Brother Li is a top-level formation mage. He has mastered no less than a hundred formations over the years. If you give him time, even the monsters who have just entered the foundation building will suffer."
Having said this, Lin Cheng smiled: "As for me, I have been born with supernatural powers since I was a child. I have a strong body and can fight with monsters in the same realm."
Hearing this, Zhishu Song nodded silently.
The three of them have their own strengths and complement each other, so it’s no wonder they can form a team.
Sometimes when you go out to kill monsters, you don't just have to be strong. The key is cooperation. Good cooperation can often show unexpected effects.
At this moment, Lin Cheng and the other three also turned their heads.
Song Zhishu smiled and slightly cupped his hands: "I don't know the formation, but there are some other methods that can be used to cooperate with the three Taoist friends."
As for what he is good at, Song Zhishu really can't say, but if he wants to tell the truth, it involves a few things. However, if he speaks directly like this, he is afraid that it will cause displeasure to others, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"We can rest assured of Brother Daoist Song's methods."
Lin Cheng said, "The disciples of the aristocratic sect are definitely not comparable to ordinary casual cultivators."
Especially since Song Zhishu didn't say what he was good at specifically, the more he felt extraordinary, as such people usually hide their secrets.
"Friend Daoist Lin."
And it was at this moment that a voice suddenly came.
Song Zhishu and the other three people looked over and saw a young man not far away. He was smiling, elegant and handsome. The man's hair was tied up in a high bun. He looked elegant and gave people the feeling of spring breeze. His cultivation
Dzogchen at the ninth level of Qi training.
At the same time, there is a different kind of aura in this person's body that is completely different from that of a practitioner.
But his appearance made Lin Cheng and the others' eyes light up immediately. Lin Cheng walked straight over and bowed slightly: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here."
"Confucian righteousness means a scholar."
Song Zhishu could tell at a glance that this person was not just a monk, but also practiced Confucianism and Taoism.
As for the realm, it is estimated to be around the middle stage of the Zhisheng realm.
Unexpectedly, Qingzhou City would also have Confucian scholars who have entered the country.
Song Zhishu was curious, but after thinking about it, he thought it was normal. The saint was enthroned, Confucianism was no longer suppressed, and even immortal sects like Taihao Sword Sect cultivated disciples who could read, let alone outside?
"Fellow Daoist Song, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Jingyun. He is a gentleman from the academy in Qingzhou City and has a very high reputation."
Lin Cheng led the people over and continued: "Mr. Chen is a dual practitioner of Taoism and Confucianism, and he has cultivated Confucian righteousness in his body. With your help, our mission will be successful."
He spoke like a gentleman, and his words were full of admiration. The same was true for Wang Chong and Li Xiansong beside him, standing behind him with smiles on his face.
Today's Confucian scholars all have a high status and are highly respected, and this is true everywhere.
Just like Qingzhou City, academies were also opened, and many casual practitioners would go there to study and practice essays.
The purpose is to see if I have the talent to become a scholar.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Jingyun appeared, he seemed to be the center of everyone's attention.
At this moment, after hearing the introduction, Song Zhishu bowed with a smile: "Mr. Chen."
Chen Jingyun returned the courtesy, neither enthusiastically nor indifferently.
"Mr. Chen, this is Song Daoyou, Song Zhishu, a foundation-building monk." Lin Cheng, who was standing aside, also spoke immediately, because he knew that scholars are arrogant, and disciples from sects are also the same.
Among their team, Chen Jingzhou was undoubtedly very important, and Song Zhishu couldn't afford to offend him. He hoped that the two of them could get along peacefully.
"Zhishu Song?"
When Chen Jingzhou heard the name, there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
He looked Song Zhishu up and down, but in the end he saw no clues. After thinking for a moment, he nodded again, and then looked at Lin Chengdao: "Fellow Daoist Lin, since everyone is here, as the leader, please tell me about this time."
Let’s make arrangements.”
"good."
Lin Cheng slightly cupped his hands, cleared his throat and said: "Our goal this time is to collect a kind of elixir called Purple Leaf Peach. It grows at Yuhua Peak, inside the Qingyun Mountains. If you be careful along the way, you may not
The key to what kind of monsters you will encounter is that there is a group of monster fire-marked monkeys living next to the purple-leaf peach. There are many of them, and the strength of the leader is comparable to that of a foundation."
"So what we have to do is to pick purple-leaf flat peaches while blocking the attack of the fire-patterned monkeys. The goal of the mission is at least ten."
"As long as this quantity is completed, the excess can be sold to Wanshi Pavilion at the market price, and there will also be corresponding rewards."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had serious expressions, even Chen Jingyun.
And Song Zhishu finally knew why Lin Cheng had always emphasized that the mission would be somewhat dangerous. The reason was that the fire-marked monkey was a social monster with high speed and agility, and more importantly, it was extremely agile.
Very difficult to deal with.
Especially when they are in groups, they even formulate tactics, which can be said to be very troublesome.
Of course, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.
Purple-leaf flat peaches are valuable and can be sold for thousands of spirit stones each. What’s more, those picked in excess can be sold to Wanshi Pavilion. Including the reward, this harvest will be at least 100,000 spirit stones.
Even if the average of five people is average, there are still 20,000 spirit stones, which is a pretty good income for casual cultivators.
"Do you all understand?" Lin Cheng glanced at everyone.
"learn."
Song Zhishu and others all nodded and had no objections to this.
"Okay, let's go without further delay."
Lin Cheng didn't hesitate anymore, he directly summoned the flying sword, jumped into the sky, and rushed towards the Qingyun Mountains with the four people present.
The Qingyun Mountain Range is close to a thousand miles away from Qingzhou City. It would take at least a day to travel normally. However, the weakest people present are all at the ninth level of Qi Training. They can fly very fast and it won't take too long.
Of course, in order to take care of everyone, Song Zhishu deliberately flew slower, otherwise it would have been faster.
And along the way, he also discovered that Lin Cheng and others only used the magic power in their bodies when wielding the sword, and did not use the talisman. Apparently they were reluctant and wanted to use this thing at a critical moment.
Chen Jingyun, on the other hand, used a spiritual light charm in the middle to ensure that he was in peak condition at all times.
Three hours later.
Five people wielding swords were flying in the air, their speed slowly decreasing.
Song Zhishu stared ahead and saw a huge mountain range not far away, spreading continuously with no end in sight, and there were clouds and mist in the deeper parts. In the forest below, there were monsters screaming and making terrifying screams.
A group of flying monsters arose.
"Let's start walking here. There are powerful monsters deep in the Qingyun Mountains, which can be easily spotted in the sky."
Lin Cheng observed the situation in the distance and immediately called for everyone to come down together.
The Qingyun Mountain Range is huge, and even if they are on the periphery, there are still dangers, especially in the air where the target is too big, so they must be careful.
Song Zhishu and others naturally had no objections to this and fell into a mountain road.
Wang Chong inspected for a while and confirmed that there was no danger ahead.
Everyone set off again and entered the mountains.
In the mountains and forests, there are towering ancient trees and thick bushes, and from time to time you can hear the sounds of various monsters.
Five figures passed by quickly, while carefully observing the surroundings. Everyone was highly focused to prevent possible accidents.
Everyone talked along the way, and Song Zhishu also began to understand the situation in the Qingyun Mountains, but Chen Jingyun was very silent and basically didn't say much.
Lin Cheng and others thought it was nothing, thinking that this was the pride that a scholar should have.
"Yuhua Peak is to the east of the Qingyun Mountains, about three hundred miles away. At our current speed, we can reach it before dark. However, the mountains there are dangerous. Not only are there monsters, but the higher we go, the more we encounter.
There is a poisonous miasma, and I have a miasma-removing talisman on me, which can ensure our safe passage without wasting mana."
As the leader of the team, Lin Cheng was naturally well prepared and had all kinds of useful talismans.
The Miasma Eliminating Talisman can prevent miasma from entering the body. This kind of miasma is very troublesome. If a mortal is infected, he will die instantly. Even if a monk inhales it, he still needs to use magic to eliminate it from the body. In order to ensure that everyone is in a perfect state,
What needs to be done must be done.
After all, this is outside, and accidents can happen at any time.
"good."
Li Xiansong and Li Xiansong opened their mouths and each received a miasma-repelling talisman. The three of them had been friends for many years and had a similar mind.
"I have Confucian righteousness to protect me, and a mere miasma can't do anything to me." Chen Jingyun shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't need it, because Confucian righteousness is indeed the nemesis of all evil things.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I don't want it anymore. I have my own means to resist the miasma."
Song Zhishu also shook his head. With his current strength, he really did not need to worry about the so-called miasma.
Not to mention anything else, just the awe-inspiring righteousness in the body can completely resolve it.
And although the miasma-removing talisman is not expensive.
But Song Zhishu didn’t want to take other people’s things in vain.
"This" Lin Cheng was a little hesitant. Chen Jingyun naturally wasn't worried about him, but now Song Zhishu didn't need it either.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist Lin, my Confucian righteousness can just help another person." Chen Jingyun spoke at this time, saying that he would take action at the critical moment, so there is no need to worry.
"Okay, let's keep going."
Seeing this, Lin Cheng said nothing more and continued walking towards the destination with the map in hand.
More than an hour later, the sun set in the west, and the setting sun was slowly obscured by thick clouds. The light in the mountains and forests also continued to weaken, and it seemed that the sky would get dark the next moment.
At this moment, the five people reached the edge of a cliff. There was a rushing river under the cliff, and pieces of water mist were steaming up.
On the opposite side of the cliff, there is a huge straight mountain peak, thousands of meters high, with almost no footholds. It is very steep and impossible for ordinary people to climb up, but for monks, it is nothing.
It is the destination of this trip, Yuhua Peak.
However, it was getting dark by now. At Lin Cheng's suggestion, everyone decided to rest for the night and set off again tomorrow.
The mission rewards are very generous, but life is more important. For casual cultivators, you must pay attention to it at all times.
Soon, Wang rushed to inspect the surrounding area and sprinkled some powder to kill poisonous insects and beasts.
Li Xiansong set up a simple spirit gathering array at the place where everyone was stationed for the purpose of adjusting his breath. Lin Cheng was also planning to climb the peak and pick purple-leaf peaches tomorrow. The three of them were very busy.
Only Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun had nothing to do.
Song Zhishu had nothing to do, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
As for Chen Jingyun, he was sitting aside, holding a book in his hand, and began to read it carefully. Sometimes he even muttered words, which were Confucian classics.
After finishing their work, Lin Cheng and the other three couldn't help but have a look of envy in their eyes when they saw this scene. They had also tried reading and writing essays before, but unfortunately their talents were limited and it was difficult to understand, so they gave up.
Otherwise, if you can become a Confucian scholar, even if you are just a casual practitioner, you will be looked down upon by others.
It's not even a problem to become a teacher in a certain family of cultivators.
This is the case with Chen Jingyun.
He is obviously a master of nine-level Qi training, but he is respected by people in Qingzhou City, and some of the foundation-building monks are his students.
There was nothing to say all night, and soon it was the next day.
After a night's rest, the five people were all refreshed and gathered together to discuss the plan.
Without saying anything else, everyone stood up with their swords and started heading towards Yuhua Mountain.
The mountain here is dangerous and there is miasma in it, so everyone is very careful and does not stop halfway, but directly climbs to the top of the mountain. Although Yuhua Mountain is only a peak, the top of the mountain is also very large, and there are mountains and forests on it.
, and there are monsters coming out.
But these monsters are not strong and can be easily dealt with.
Song Zhishu did not take action because he knew that monsters that were too weak would rarely gain Confucian righteousness.
In addition, after slaying monsters, you can still obtain materials from them. This all belongs to the person who slayed them, and he will naturally not be strong.
Everyone continued on the road, and a full three hours passed before they reached the core of Yuhua Mountain.
"Everyone."
In the mountain forest, Lin Cheng motioned for everyone to stop and said at the same time: "According to the information I got, the front is the territory of the fire pattern monkey, and if you go deeper you can see the purple-leaf flat peach. Our original intention is to try not to be caught.
If you find it, pick more purple-leaf peaches, so when you get closer, Brother Li will quickly set up a formation to hide the figure, but everything will be clear."
"It's clear." Wang Chong and Li Xiansong nodded in reply, feeling a little excited in their hearts.
If the plan goes well, they will be able to achieve huge gains in a short period of time this time, exceeding before.
"Okay, let's start now."
Lin Cheng spoke, and then continued to sneak with everyone.
The closer you get to the target, the less the aura of the surrounding monsters becomes, until finally it disappears completely, and you can't even hear the chirping of birds.
Not long after, the five people finally left and walked out of the forest. Directly in front of them, there was a winding river. Purple peach trees grew on both sides of the river. The peach trees were very tall and strong, especially on the crown.
There are huge purple fruits.
The fruit is purple in color with wisps of light emitting from it, making it look very extraordinary at first sight.
However, the number is not very large, adding up to at most twenty or thirty pieces.
"Is this the purple-leaf flat peach?"
Seeing this, Song Zhishu thought in his mind: "It is said that this purple-leaf flat peach is a kind of elixir. It grows once every ten years and contains powerful spiritual power. However, monks cannot eat it directly. It is the best material for alchemy, but the monsters are not there."
This column."
This is what he knows, but Song Zhishu has never been exposed to alchemy, so he doesn't know the details.
"Brother Lin, why didn't you find the fire pattern monkey? Didn't you say there is a group of them here?"
At this time, Wang Chong spoke. He carefully observed his surroundings and found no danger.
"Did you leave?"
Lin Cheng also felt strange, and then turned to look at Chen Jingyun, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Although Confucian righteousness has many wonderful uses, it cannot trace the traces of monsters." Chen Jingyun shook his head, saying that he was powerless in this regard.
Song Zhishu also looked out for his soul, but found nothing, so he nodded slightly.
"I'll go take a look first." After thinking for a moment, Lin Cheng made up his mind. Although he didn't find anything unusual, the more times like this, the more he has to act cautiously and plans to go explore the situation himself, so that if he encounters
If you are in danger, there will be support behind you.
After finishing speaking, he did not hesitate, tried his best to gather his magic power, and quietly walked towards the purple leaf peach forest.
Soon, Lin Cheng approached and stood under the tree, looking around cautiously.
At the same time, everyone hiding in another place is also using their magic power. If there is danger, they will take action directly.
"Nothing unusual."
Lin Cheng stayed for a while, and even picked a purple-leaf flat peach, but there was still no trace of the fire-marked monkey, and he immediately signaled for everyone to approach.
"I'm going to set up a formation first." Li Xian opened his mouth, put away his folding fan, and took out dozens of formation stones in his hand.
Runes are engraved in the formation stones, and as long as they are placed in a specific position, the formation will be formed.
"Mr. Chen, Fellow Daoist Song, shall we go too?"
Wang Chong looked at the purple-leaf flat peaches not far away and felt a little excited. He only needed to pick ten of them to complete this mission. As for the extra money, it can be regarded as extra income. If everything goes well, he can exchange it for resources.
There is a chance to attack the foundation building realm.
"good."
Chen Jingyun nodded and found that there was nothing strange around him.
In addition, he was also at the ninth level of Qi training, so he was one step away from establishing the foundation, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to come out with Lin Cheng and others.
Song Zhishu didn't say anything, but since everyone had made a decision, he couldn't say anything more and immediately followed everyone closer to the peach forest.
In front of us, the river flows quietly, but the water inside is very turbid, and it is not clear what is inside.
"wrong."
Suddenly, Song Zhishu felt something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Quick, stay away from the river."
At the same time, other people who had joined Lin Cheng were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but soon they all realized and wanted to escape.
Bang bang bang!
But the next moment, the river continued to surge, and figures rushed out from it.
Each of these figures was very tall, somewhat resembling a human being, but their aura was very violent. Soon they all appeared in the peach forest, and they were so numerous that they surrounded everyone present.
"It's the fire-patterned monkey." Lin Cheng was shocked when he saw the appearance of those figures clearly.
I saw that each of those figures was more than two feet tall, with lines on their bodies that were beating like flames. They stood like people, grinning, and some even held weapons. Their blood-red eyes were just staring at Song Zhishu and others.
It's the fire-patterned monkey.
The weakest among them all exude an aura comparable to the fifth level of Qi training.
"Damn it, these beasts are so cunning. They actually hid under the water and deliberately hid their aura." Wang Yue said, looking at the group of fire-patterned monkeys surrounding him with an ugly look on his face.
The fifth level of Qi training is nothing to them, they can resolve the battle in an instant.
But the key is that there are too many fire pattern monkeys.
There are hundreds of them.
Quack, quack, quack.
The next moment, those fire-patterned monkeys no longer hesitated and rushed directly towards the crowd.
Their auras were connected together, and they did not rush forward disorderly, but first let some of them completely surround everyone, and the stronger fire pattern monkeys followed in turn. It was obvious that they knew that the monks in front of them were not easy to mess with, so they took the following measures
tactics.
"Do it."
"Brother Li, please stop setting up the formation and go pick the purple-leaf peaches. We will buy time for you."
Lin Cheng did not hesitate, shouted loudly, and issued the order. At this time, he must be decisive without any hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flying knife appeared in his hand. It was long and windy. He was held in his hand and then rushed out. His whole body was also wrapped in mana. Lin Cheng was strong and in the early stage of foundation building. He rushed into the fire-patterned monkey.
It was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, killing several of them in an instant.
At another place, Wang Chong also moved his flying sword, which turned into a blazing white light at an extremely fast speed and penetrated the heads of three fire-patterned monkeys.
At the same time, he took out a few speed talismans to ensure that he would not be besieged.
Li Xiansong, under the protection of the two men, approached the peach forest and prepared to pick purple-leaf flat peaches.
But without exception, these three people do not have any defensive magic weapons. Obviously, as casual cultivators, they are really stretched in terms of family finances.
"Fellow Daoist Song, please protect yourself."
At this time, Chen Jingyun spoke, and a flying sword was suspended in front of his chest. It was a high-grade magic weapon flying sword. It was wrapped in Confucian righteousness and shot out in an instant. His strength was not the strongest among several people, but because he had
Confucian righteousness is injected into it, but its lethality is very strong, and it can basically kill you with one move.
Naturally, Song Zhishu didn't say much. He looked at the five monkeys charging toward him. The Saint Sword Embryo appeared. He did not use Haoran's righteousness, but only injected mana into them.
Puff puff puff.
In an instant, five monkey heads flew high into the air, blood flowing.
At the same time, he circulated his magic power, suspended it in the air, and formed a magic formula.
Zhengzhengzheng!
The saint's sword vibrated, split into three, formed a "pin" shape, and killed all the surrounding monkeys.
Bang bang bang.
In just an instant, more than twenty monkeys fell down and lost their lives.
"Good guy, Fellow Daoist Song is amazing."
"It seems to be a high-grade magical weapon, the Flying Sword, but isn't it too powerful?"
Not far away, Wang Chong and Li Xiansong were shocked when they saw this scene. They killed more than twenty monkeys with one move. Their strength was basically above the fifth level of Qi training. With the Foundation Establishment level and the flying sword ability of the first-class magical weapon,
It can be done, but it is absolutely impossible to do it so easily.
"good."
When Lin Cheng saw this, he was convinced that he was indeed right to invite Song Zhishu this time.
At this speed, it won't take long for the hundreds of fire-patterned monkeys in front of us to be completely eliminated.
"Don't be happy too early."
But soon, Chen Jingyun woke up and reminded: "Look over there."
Following his words, everyone looked around and saw that behind those monkeys, there were ten taller fire pattern monkeys with red eyes, three feet tall, holding giant trees as weapons, staring closely at them.
On the battlefield, the cultivation level of these ten fire-patterned monkeys is comparable to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It's over.
For a moment, Lin Cheng and others' hearts sank. There were ten demonic beasts that were comparable to foundation building, and they were also extremely difficult fire-patterned monkeys.
If all of them were mobilized, could they resist it?
"Didn't I say that there are only at most three fire-patterned monkeys that are comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
"How could this happen? Could it be that the information given by Wanshi Pavilion is wrong?"
Wang Chong and Li Xiansong's expressions changed greatly. If they had known this was the case, they would not have come at all. It was too dangerous.
"Calm down, I can deal with two, Fellow Daoist Lin can deal with three, and leave the rest to Fellow Daoist Song. As for the others, Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist Li should be fine." Chen Jingyun spoke and made a plan instantly.
Spirit monkeys are nothing. With their strength, they can be killed at any time. The key is these ten that are comparable to the foundation building realm.
"Listen to Mr. Chen." Lin Cheng nodded and ordered everyone. He did not act without authorization, but slowly joined the crowd.
At this time, we must concentrate our efforts and never separate, otherwise we will fall into a bitter battle.
"Don't be busy. I'll deal with seven of them. Fellow Daoist Li will continue picking purple-leaf flat peaches."
Song Zhishu spoke. He was now in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and only had seven demon beasts in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment. It was no problem at all. If he wanted to, he could even wipe them out with all his strength. However, this would be too eye-catching. As long as he ensured that the mission was completed.
That’s it.
"good."
Chen Jingyun glanced at Song Zhishu and had no objection to this.
The next moment, everyone gathered together and began to kill those fire-marked monkeys with weaker cultivation levels.
As for Song Zhishu, he stood up in the air without any hesitation, with the Saint Sword Embryo surrounding him, and rushed directly into the ten strongest monsters.
Lin Cheng and Chen Jingyun also used their own methods to share the pressure for him.
quack.
The other side.
Song Zhishu directly started fighting with the seven fire pattern monkeys.
These monkeys are strong and strong, and have extremely high defense. They directly use the giant trees as weapons and constantly slap them on the ground.
Suddenly, the forest shook, dust flew, and huge rocks were blown into powder, which shocked Lin Cheng and others, showing how destructive they were.
In particular, they also spit out white mist from time to time. The temperature of this mist is extremely high, and everything contaminated with it turns into ashes.
But Song Zhishu was able to deal with this with ease. No matter what kind of attacks they launched, they were of no use at all.
"go."
And with the voice of Song Zhishu.
The light of the saint's sword embryo increased greatly and turned into a stream of light again, killing one in an instant.
Then he injected mana again, the light was divided into three, and two more fire-marked monkeys were killed directly.
Just one breath.
Three monster beasts comparable to those in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm died.
"Isn't this too strong?"
Seeing Lin Cheng and others here, they were a little stunned. They were still fighting hard, but they were so relaxed over there.
They are both in the foundation building realm, but the difference seems too big.
"Don't be distracted."
Song Zhishu reminded him, and created another magic formula. The saint's sword body turned into a sword and was aimed at the four fire-patterned monkeys in front of him. He once again showed his power, and this time, he blessed a more powerful one.
Mana, I just want to test how far I can do it.
Poof!
The Saint's Sword Embryo disappeared directly, so fast that it could no longer be caught by the naked eye.
The four fire-patterned monkeys didn't react at all. Their bodies were pierced, and then their bodies exploded.
On the other side, Lin Cheng and Chen Jingyun had just finished killing two of them together. Before they could continue, they saw Song Zhishu's Saint Sword Embryo killing the last one.
Just like that, the ten fire-patterned monkeys at the foundation-building level were all dead within the time it took for a stick of incense to appear.
As for the other monkeys, they were almost eliminated by the other two.
"Hiss~"
Lin Cheng and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Because it was so powerful, they didn't even know how Song Zhishu did it.
Chen Jingyun was also surprised. He had seen many monks in the early stages of foundation building, but this was the first one as powerful as the one in front of him.
Phew~
Song Zhishu took back the Saint Sword Embryo and held it in his hand: "My current strength should be enough to fight against the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and I can kill him if I am surprised."
At this moment, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.
"Inviting Fellow Daoist Song this time is definitely the right choice for me." Lin Cheng looked at Zhishu Song standing in mid-air, and sincerely felt that he was not wrong. At the same time, he was even more convinced that the person in front of him was not an ordinary disciple of the sect.
So simple.
"It's almost time. After picking the purple-leaf flat peaches, we'll leave as soon as possible."
Song Zhishu naturally knew what they were thinking and spoke directly, thinking that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
"yes."
Unknowingly, Lin Cheng directly regarded Song Zhishu as his backbone. This is how the world of cultivation is, whoever is stronger will listen to whoever is strong.
At the moment, he was going to take Wang Chong and Li Xiansong to pick the remaining purple-leaf peaches.
boom!
But at this moment, there was a loud noise not far away.
A huge shadow, the aura of this shadow was terrifying, surpassing all previous fire pattern monkeys, jumped into the air, brandished a stone pillar the size of a bucket and blasted it down directly, shrouding Lin Cheng and others in it.
"not good."
When Song Zhishu saw this, he immediately reacted and used the saint's sword to resist.
However, he discovered that Chen Jingyun, who was closer, hesitated for just a moment and rushed towards Lin Cheng and others. The flying sword in his hand burst out with rays of light, and a jade appeared and turned into a small mountain.
, protected everyone and blocked the attack.
Song Zhishu saw that it was the middle grade spiritual grade jade that he had engraved on it.
Boom!
As the huge stone pillar descended.
The next moment, the ground shook, the surrounding trees were uprooted, and clouds of dust were thrown up.
Huge ravines appeared around the river, which were so powerful that they shook mountains and rocks.
"Cough cough cough~"
At the center of the attack, four figures crawled out with difficulty, their faces pale and their mouths and noses filled with blood.
The last person injured was Chen Jingyun. His ribs were broken. He gasped for air. Seeing that the attack was blocked, he felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, it was blocked."
"Mr. Chen, you." Seeing this, the other three people all looked worried.
"Confucian scholars should naturally do so when their friends are in trouble."
Chen Jingyun shook his head, and then looked at the broken piece of jade in his hand: "It's a pity that the new product I just bought from Wanshi Pavilion for thousands of spiritual stones was gone in one go."
He was indeed heartbroken because of the precious jade he just bought.
roar!
At this time, a huge roar appeared, causing the four people to tremble.
They finally got a clear look at the vicious creature that had just been attacked. It was a five-foot-long fire-patterned monkey, with a fierce look in its eyes, staring at everyone, and white mist constantly flowing out from its mouth and nose, like a flame.
Generally speaking, full of momentum.
"The leader of the fire-patterned monkey is comparable to the monster beasts in the later stages of foundation building. This."
"It's over, it's completely over, we will die here."
When Wang Chong and others saw the fierce thing, their hearts suddenly became dead after the disaster. It was comparable to the late stage of foundation building. No one present was their opponent.
"Damn Wanshi Pavilion, what kind of information did you give me?" Lin Cheng was also angry. Before, there were ten foundations, and now it's the late stage of foundations. It's completely unexpected. Is this a mission? This is exactly what it is.
Looking for death.
"Am I going to see the saint in advance?" Chen Jingyun's tone was hoarse when he saw this, and he couldn't help but feel ashen.
But soon, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with a strong aura and surging mana.
It was none other than Song Zhishu.
Song Zhishu glanced at Chen Jingyun, and then said: "Everyone, please step aside first, I will deal with this beast."
Chen Jingyun's actions just now made Song Zhishu feel good about him. No matter what his purpose was, he was worthy of being a true scholar.
"You're going to deal with it? But..."
Lin Cheng and others were stunned. Judging from the battle just now, Song Zhishu was indeed very strong, but now they were facing the leader of the Fire Pattern Monkey, who was comparable to a monster beast in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. How to fight?
At times like this, you should find a way to escape.
Song Zhishu didn't say anything. He looked at the dangerous creature not far away, knowing that it would be difficult to deal with it using ordinary methods.
Immediately, he took a deep breath, and the great righteousness surged in his body, blessing the saint's sword embryo.
At this time, naturally we can’t leave anything to chance.
Lin Cheng and the other three looked at Song Zhishu's behavior and didn't say anything.
Chen Jingzhou next to him widened his eyes and spoke regardless of the pain: "Confucian righteousness? Fellow Taoist Song, are you also a Confucian scholar?"
