It only took one day to complete the transformation to Lv Zhong, but there were nine levels in the Four Spiritual Gong Qi Cultivation Chapter. It took him two months to practice from the first level to the fourth level.
It’s midsummer again, and the Lantern Festival is coming soon.
On this day, Lu Zhong went out to the stall as usual and put out the drawn talismans.
Because the drawing of exorcism talismans has always been restricted by Yang Qi, the output of this talisman is still pitiful. Therefore, there are two types of talismans sold at the stall, namely the Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoidance Talisman that costs ten talisman a piece, and the
An exorcism charm that sells for as much as one spirit stone.
After a while, customers came to the door.
He was a man wearing a rough-stitched leopard skin coat, with a dark complexion and a very rugged appearance. He carried a hunting bow wrapped with cloth strips on his back, and a finely forged long knife with a deerskin scabbard on his waist.
This is a regular customer of Lu Zhong. He is an old hunter who relies on hunting hygiene. He often buys some arrow-avoiding charms.
"Master Lu, please give me three arrow-avoiding charms!" the old hunter shouted as usual.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong touched the storage bag, took out three Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talismans and handed them to the other party.
After receiving the money for the talisman, he looked at the old hunter's empty back and couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, why didn't you carry boars and pheasants to sell today?"
On weekdays, when old hunters come to the market, they will bring some prey to sell in exchange for supplies.
But today, for some unknown reason, I came empty-handed.
"Well, it's a long story. The old man was recently recruited by the immortal master of Wuling Sect to explore the mountain road to the south. He almost died in the forest several times." The old hunter said this with a lingering fear.
.
Then, he carefully looked around and saw that there were no Five Elements Sect disciples on the street, then he whispered mysteriously: "I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that the Five Elements Sect is about to start a war with the Qingyang Sect.
, Master Lu Fu, have you received the news?"
War?
When Lu Zhong heard this, he was slightly shocked, but his expression remained calm. He shook his head and said, "I have not received any similar news."
"That's it..." When the old hunter heard this, he seemed a little disappointed, but he did not leave.
Seeing his appearance, how could Lu Zhong not know what the other person was thinking.
After thinking about it, he took out a cleaning charm from the table and handed it to the old hunter.
"Although I'm not sure whether the news is true or false, thank you anyway."
The old hunter took the cleansing talisman, a smile appeared on his weathered face, and he decided in his heart that he would listen to more news in the future, and maybe he could exchange for one or two more cleansing talismans.
After thanking him again and again, he turned and left.
At the stall, Lu Zhong was already deep in thought.
The old hunter's news was not groundless. Combined with the fact that he was called to explore the mountain road to the south, maybe Wulingmen had some thoughts on Qingyangmen after stabilizing Qingliufang City.
Thinking back to some negative rumors about the Wuling Sect, it is said that this is a sect that will do whatever it takes to achieve its goals.
Among these rumors that are difficult to tell whether they are true or not, it is even mentioned that the Wuling Sect did not hesitate to send its disciples to disguise themselves as demon cultivators in order to seize Qingliufang City.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel particularly worried about the future.
"I think this battle will not start immediately. In order to determine whether I have the ability to protect myself, it is very necessary to start a third experience to test my strength. Now that the training has been completed and the corresponding spells have reached the proficiency level
, maybe it’s time for me to practice with monsters.”
He made a decision in his mind and planned to go to Tongfu Teahouse after setting up the stall today.
…
At sunset, Lu Zhong stepped out of Fangshi alone.
Just as planned during the day, he had already bought accurate information about a monster beast's lair from Tong Fu Teahouse's shopkeeper, which was a first-order steel hyena pig.
Although the Steel Hyena Pig is not a demonic beast that produces precious materials, it does have pork that is rich in demonic energy. It also brings in materials such as pig skins and tusks, which can earn an income of hundreds of spirit stones.
After deducting the cost of buying information, you can probably get eighty or ninety spiritual stones, which is a good income.
Lu Zhong chose it carefully.
Although this monster is extremely powerful, it only has two attack methods: collision and arching. It is not too difficult to deal with, and the Green Frost Sword can restrain the steel hyena pig to a certain extent.’’
As long as Qingshuang's cold air accumulates too much, sooner or later it will slow down and become nothing more than pork on the chopping board.
Along the way, I didn't meet anyone else.
Walking alone in the wilderness at dusk, Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh at how much he had changed.
You must know that a year and a half ago, he was just a rookie who had just entered the world of cultivation. Now he has made his way step by step. After experiencing many things, he finally became a man who can walk alone in the wilderness and dares to challenge alone.
Monster monk.
Just when he was feeling extremely emotional, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in his black and white vision.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of fighting sounds came.
"There are people fighting in front, and there are quite a lot of people on both sides!" Lu Zhong realized this and looked at the mountains and forests in front of him that were like a firework festival with all kinds of lights flickering, and gave up the idea of going to check.
There were constant thunders ahead, and at first glance, there were high-level monks fighting, and the terrifying aura hit them one after another.
"There is no need to put yourself in danger just to satisfy unnecessary curiosity."
He thought for a while and decided to go around to avoid getting involved.
"Did Wulingmen and Qingyangmen start a war?" Lu Zhong was still guessing while taking a detour, his face uncertain.
If that's the case, that's definitely bad news.
Once the war begins, unless the outcome is decided quickly, there will never be peace.
As the front line of the confrontation between the two major sects, Qingliufang will most likely become the focus of defense or competition between the two sides. To continue to stay in that place is tantamount to standing under a dangerous wall.
"It seems that Qingliufang really can't stay here any longer."
Lu Zhong sighed and decided to move to Yandang Shanfang City after this experience was over.
As for how to get to Yandang Mountain, he had already inquired about the route, but he had always been reluctant to leave Qingliufang. After all, in a sense, this place was already his hometown.
With another heavy sigh, Lu Zhong put aside his distracting thoughts and set off on his way with one heart and one mind.
From time to time, there will be traces of wild beasts in the field of vision, and occasionally one or two small animals that have not been hidden in time, as well as other creatures such as snakes and birds.
But there was no trace of monsters or anything like that.
Four hours passed as soon as we started on our way, and it was already the fourth watch.
When he reached a mountain stream, he set his sights on the cave entrance on the mossy boulder.
Faintly, you can still hear the heavy breathing coming from inside.
"Same as the information given on the map, this should be the lair of the Steel Hyena Pig."
At this moment, Lu Zhong could vaguely see a huge blood shadow in his vision. He could see that there was indeed a monster hidden in the cave, but he could not determine its identity.
"It would be nice if there was a puppet machine beast..."
