The old man picked up the wine bottle, drank it down immediately, burped happily, and said: "It's great!
I haven't had such a good wine in a long time.
Money is tight now, so I still have to hire someone to afford the drink.
Since brother is so generous, I will explain it to you."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head.
At this sight, his body swayed suddenly and he almost fell to the ground.
What I saw was a man with a scarred face. He had an astonishing aura, especially the soul-stirring power in his eyes, which made people dare not look directly at him.
The old man immediately withdrew his eyes, stared at the wine bottle, and then steadied himself.
He said cautiously: "This swordsman hero, what do you want to hear, old man, I will tell you everything I know."
Lu Chen said with a loud voice: "Who has grabbed the Black Cloud Bead, Yanyue Academy or Blood Knife Sect?"
"Hey, neither party has grabbed this thing. In fact, they didn't even see the shadow of Hei Yunzhu.
Instead, they became enemies because of this incident, and some disciples and elders died on both sides.
Now, when the disciples of Yanyue Academy and Blood Knife Sect meet in the Black Cloud Mountains, they are going to fight."
The old man took a sip of wine and sighed.
It seems like he has some compassion for others.
Lu Chen said: "So, the Black Cloud Bead is just a guess."
"yes."
The old man responded casually and found that Lu Chen's face was not good-looking, so he quickly changed his words: "But there must be such a thing as a black cloud bead!
Otherwise, why would the black air above Bailong Town disappear?
If you, hero, have amazing eyesight, you will definitely be able to see the subtle black air flowing in the air."
After that, the old man picked up the wine bottle, said goodbye, and immediately ran to a corner, not daring to talk to Lu Chen anymore.
After all, the role played by Lu Chen at this time is that of a ruthless and violent swordsman.
Not to mention this old man talking nonsense and drinking, even a bully and bandit would tremble with fear when he saw Lu Chen.
After all, ordinary Jianghu people cannot be compared with sect disciples.
What's more, it's a large sect like Yanyue Academy!
Lu Chen ignored the old man and slowly walked out of the inn and came to the edge of the Black Cloud Mountains.
He looked up at the sky and concentrated his energy in his eyes.
A black air as subtle as a hair was actually captured by him.
Although it was only captured for a moment, it was enough to prove that there was some truth in what the old man said.
"It's a pity that the black energy disappears and appears.
I am just unified. Even if I can observe the details, I can't grasp its movements at all times.
Neither Yanyue Academy nor the Blood Knife Sect found the Black Cloud Bead that may not exist, and it is even less possible for me."
Lu Chen thought to himself.
However, he still stepped into the Black Cloud Mountains.
Although the chance is slim, who can say that there is no chance?
I didn't expect to get the Juxi Sword Manual at the beginning, so wasn't this what I got?
God knows how lucky you are.
Anyway, no matter where you go, you are going to experience it, so why not just practice it here.
There are many monsters in the Black Cloud Mountains.
You can kill some low-level monsters by yourself and sell their horns, tails, internal organs, fur and other items.
You must know that you have a space ring on your body.
Although the space ring is not of a high level and is only the size of a small house, it can hold a lot of things in one trip.
At least it's much better than my previous backpack.
rub.
He jumped up and climbed into a big tree.
Look far into the distance and observe the strength of the monsters around you, as well as their movements.
Because it is outside the Black Cloud Mountains, the monsters are generally not very powerful, which is about the same level as the Twilight Forest during their competition at Yanyue Academy.
As long as you don't go too deep inside, there won't be any extraordinary danger.
Lu Chen made up his mind, jumped down from the tree, and chose a monster grizzly bear.
This grizzly bear is famous for its strength. Although it is only a seventh-level cultivation level, it is ten times stronger than a human's seventh-level Tuoyue.
Just the thick fur on its body makes ordinary people afraid to compete with it.
Lu Chen is the seventh-level Tuoyue. He wants to give this grizzly bear a try to hone his strength.
For him, strength is his shortcoming.
Although Xiaocheng's control ability allows him to leverage his strength.
But if you don't have enough strength, you may be beaten to death before you can borrow anyone's strength.
Therefore, you must take this opportunity to practice well.
Swish swish swish.
Lu Chen quickly drew his sword and provoked the grizzly bear.
Grizzly bears don't know any moves, they can only slap and charge.
Even so, within a short while, Lu Chen was so tired that he was covered in sweat.
After all, he uses a knife, not the sword he is best at.
Moreover, he also deliberately suppresses his own strength. Unless there is a fatal crisis, he will not use even a small amount of observation.
As a result, about an hour later, Lu Chen quickly fled up the tree.
He took Xu Ruoyang's powerful potion, rested for a while, and then started to provoke the grizzly bear again.
For two whole days, he was fighting grizzly bears.
He hadn't fought so happily in a long time. With the help of the powerful potion, his cultivation level had unknowingly risen to the peak of the seventh level of Tuoyue.
"It's a pity that the powerful potion is not enough."
Lu Chen emptied his gun, sighed, and decided to kill some prey and go to the town to buy some powerful potions.
Bailong Town is considered a big town, and it may develop into a small town in a few decades.
Currently, there is no medium-grade medicine for sale here, but there are quite a few low-grade medicines.
Lu Chen jumped off the tree again, walked around the grizzly bear and walked outside the Black Cloud Mountains.
He fought hard and collected many corpses of Tuoyue sixth- and fifth-level monsters.
Then, he quickly returned to the inn in Bailong Town.
He decided to take a bottle of Qi-enhancing potion here first and improve his cultivation to the late Guiyi stage.
After staying at the inn, Lu Chen got into the room, locked the door tightly, and used a bed and chair to block it so as not to be disturbed.
After that, he sat down cross-legged, took the Qi-enhancing potion, and performed the method of calming the mind.
Hiss hiss.
A faint element of heaven and earth lingers.
An hour passed quickly, and Lu Chen's cultivation did not move at all.
"well."
He sighed suddenly.
Before breaking through the sixth level and the seventh level, I took two bottles.
Now I only take one bottle, so it makes sense that I can't get a breakthrough.
Moreover, the elements of heaven and earth here are obviously not as strong as Yanyue Academy.
No matter how powerful the Ping Yixin method is, it can only be said that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
In this case, Lu Chen had no choice but to take the last bottle of Qi-boosting potion.
Wow.
As soon as this bottle of medicine entered his stomach, a warm breath spread all over his body.
The shackles of cultivation that had been silent before were loosened at this moment.
Lu Chen quickly mobilized all his energy and strength to absorb the power of the last bottle of Qi-boosting potion.
Another hour passed, and the power of the Qi-boosting potion had been absorbed.
However, Lu Chen's cultivation still hadn't made a breakthrough.
In desperation, he had no choice but to sit upright and practice steadily, absorbing the meager elements of heaven and earth to complete the last step.
This is a long-term effort.
On the morning of the third day, Lu Chen's body made a crisp sound.
He stood up and took a long breath: "We are in the late stage of Guiyi. It is really difficult."
After absorbing this lesson, he decided that he must prepare potions in the future, and he must not just waste time practicing like this.
So, he immediately poured the corpse of the monster in the space ring into a large cloth bag, and carried the cloth bag to Baiyun Shop in Bailong Town.
It's called Baiyun Shop in Bailong Town, and it's quite unique.
Because there is also a Heiyun Store in Bailong Town.
Because Heiyun Store came early, it is deeply rooted and a bit overbearing.
Baiyu Shop competes with them, and many things are more affordable here.
When Lu Chen came here, a boy at the door quickly came to greet him and said: "Brother, do you want to sell something? Please go this way!"
The boy quickly led the way.
Because Lu Chen, the ferocious swordsman, looked ruthless, the bag he was carrying was big enough, and the smell of blood was still lingering.
The boy could tell at a glance that this was an attempt to sell the corpses of monsters.
He took Lu Chen to the backyard.
There is a high platform here, which is bloody, as if the corpse of a monster has just been released.
On the other side of the high platform is a middle-aged fat man.
The middle-aged fat man said in a loud voice: "Friend, put the body of the monster on the table and let's weigh it."
It turns out that there is a mechanism placed under this high platform. As long as you put something on it, you can weigh it.
Lu Chen threw the bag up.
Boo!
The high platform sank an inch.
The middle-aged fat man showed a surprised expression and said: "It's heavy enough! Open it and take a look."
Lu Chen opened the bag and pulled it quickly.
I saw that the things were not scattered at all and still had their original smell, but he had already pulled out the bag.
"What a handsome technique!"
The middle-aged fat man praised.
This was the first time he had seen someone with such precise power control.
This swordsman with a ruthless appearance is probably even more ruthless in his skills, which no one dares to underestimate.
It is actually difficult to deal with such people.
The middle-aged fat man did not dare to fool him and began to carefully identify the corpses.
After a while, he took out a piece of paper and wrote on it, saying: "The body of a sixth-order black panther in Tuoyue.
A corpse of the fifth-level eye-catching tiger in Tuoyue.
A corpse of a fifth-level powerful monkey named Tuoyue.
A corpse of a Tuoyue fifth-level iron-clad bull.
Four corpses, all intact.
The fur is not damaged at all, and horns, tiger eyes, monkey brains, leopard hooves, etc. can all be sold at the highest price!"
After the middle-aged fat man said this, he was surprised. Looking at Lu Chen, he felt more and more powerful and mysterious about this person.
He couldn't help but asked curiously: "How did you do it?"
Lu Chen made an angry sound: "Does your Baiyun Store even take care of this?"
"No no."
The middle-aged fat man waved his hands quickly and said with an apologetic smile, "It's just my personal curiosity. My name is An Ming, and everyone calls me Fatty An. What do you call me, brother?"
Lu Chen said indifferently: "My name is Swordsman!"
"..."
An Ming was speechless.
People make it clear that they are mysterious and don't want to say anything.
However, their White Jade Store can't control so much, so if they don't talk about it, they won't talk about it.
Anyway, these monster beast corpses are very complete. As long as the person in charge of their Baiyun shop carefully skins and removes the bones, these corpses can be resold for a lot of money.
In order to let this mysterious swordsman bring these good things to him again, An Ming immediately came over and said: "Brother, I can give you a high price for these corpses.
How about one thousand taels of silver?
In other places, these corpses can only be sold for up to 700 taels.
There is only one premise for me to be so affordable for fat people.
Brothers, if there are corpses like this in the future, they will have to do business with our Baiyun Store and not other stores!"
"Can."
Lu Chen agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
But he later added: "I don't need the money. I want to exchange things at your Baiyun store. How much preferential treatment can you give me?"
“Brothers will definitely be satisfied!”
An Ming laughed and hugged Lu Chen's shoulder pretending to be affectionate.
Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at him.
"Hehe, hehe." An Ming was so frightened that he stopped quickly, laughed a few times, and said: "Brother, follow me, I will take you to the exhibits in our shop.
