When the lion-nosed man, the horse-faced old man and others heard Lu Chen's words, they felt a clear black and white mark in their minds, and their faces suddenly turned ashen, and they said tremblingly: "Young master, I don't dare to surrender to you.
A rebellious spirit arises in my heart.”
"Very good, now tell me your names." Lu Chen nodded and said.
"My subordinate Wang Meng," said the lion-nosed man.
"I am here to serve you," said the horse-faced old man.
…
Soon, Lu Chen knew the names of these dozen Xuantian realm masters.
He nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Wang Meng, turned his palm, and found a book in his palm. It was a book he got from killing Zhang Tai of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
He threw it to Wang Meng and said lightly: "Seeing your practice of marksmanship, I will give you this set of earth-level intermediate marksmanship."
"Thank you very much for the master's gift. I will definitely serve you well in the future." Wang Meng was stunned for a moment after taking the shot, and then said with great joy.
"Very good. Now I will give you a task. Conquer all the cottages within a radius of three hundred miles, and then deliver the village owners and the harvested spiritual grass and Ganoderma to me."
After Lu Chen said this, he glanced at Wang Meng and others, and continued: "To tell you the truth, I am a seventh-level alchemist, so as long as you satisfy me, I will not be stingy with the elixirs.
.”
He knew very well that to deal with this group of desperadoes, the only way to deal with them was to pay equal attention to kindness and power.
"Don't worry, sir, we will do our best to serve you."
Not only Wang Meng and others, but also Zhou Taijiu and others were ecstatic after hearing this and bowed down to pay homage.
The reason is very simple. Casual cultivators like them rarely own elixirs at all. The only way is to buy elixirs. But buying elixirs is a huge expense, especially elixirs of fifth grade or above, even if they have all their wealth.
, it is also difficult to purchase one.
Now that we know that Lu Chen is an alchemist, and a seventh-level alchemist at that, how can he not dare to serve?
"Okay, you take the people there, and Zhou Tai and you will also go with you." Lu Chen ordered.
"yes."
Wang Meng, Yu Zi, Zhou Tai, Xu You and others took orders one after another and led people to annex nearby strongholds.
The remaining small group of people welcomed Lu Chen and Ling'er into the attic. After all, this was the most majestic place in Hutou Village.
Lu Chen was not polite and settled directly on the top floor of the attic.
At sunset, Wang Meng and others brought back six Xuantian realm masters and sent them to Lu Chen. They were all given the soul seals of the universe by Lu Chen.
In addition, Wang Meng and others also presented several storage rings.
"Stay the elixir. As for the spiritual stones and spiritual crystals, you divide them up." Lu Chen said.
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Meng and others were overjoyed and thanked Lu Chen one after another, promising him to conquer all the strongholds within a radius of 300 miles within five days and bring the owners of the strongholds to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was noncommittal about this, and then he began to refine the elixir.
There were not many spiritual herbs harvested, most of them were low-level elixirs, but Lu Chen did not waste them. He refined them all into elixirs, some for replenishing spiritual power and some for healing, but he mainly refined them.
The elixir for further training.
Soon, five days passed.
Wang Meng fulfilled his promise to Lu Chen and uprooted all the cottages within a radius of three hundred miles. A total of more than thirty Xuantian realm masters were sent to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had planted the Soul Seal of Heaven and Earth on them so that he could control them. After all, he had just come to the land of demonic chaos and his foundation was too weak. He had no confidants, so he could only do so much.
At the same time, he obtained a large amount of Ganoderma lucidum, the spiritual grass.
It took Lu Chen three months to refine all these spiritual herbs into elixirs.
After witnessing with their own eyes the process of using the seventh-grade elixir to overcome the tribulation, Wang Meng and others no longer doubted Lu Chen's identity as a seventh-grade alchemist, and served Lu Chen wholeheartedly.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Qiankun Soul Seal controls their lives, and they can't help but work for Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen did not treat them badly and gave them a large number of pills. At the same time, he also gave Zhou Tai, Xu You and others pills to improve their cultivation, allowing them to break through to the middle stage of the Xuantian realm.
In addition, Lu Chen also gave a piece of Azure Pill to the horse-faced old man Yu Zi to help him break through the late stage of Xuantian Realm.
In other words, Lu Chen now has Wang Meng and Yu Zi, two masters in the late Xuantian realm, under his command.
And this is Lu Chen's way to prevent Wang Meng from becoming the dominant one after he leaves Hutou Village. He can only control it with a balanced approach.
Originally, Yu Zi had some complaints against Wang Meng, because he wanted to escape alone before, but now that he has received the Azure Pill given by Lu Chen, has broken through to the late stage of Xuantian Realm, and understands Lu Chen's thoughts, naturally he will not cling to Wang Meng honestly.
.
In addition, there is another mountain under Lu Chen's command, that is Zhou Tai and Xu Youjiu.
For this reason, he told the two of them to practice hard, and as long as they broke through to the middle stage of the Xuantian realm, he would also give them the Azure Pill.
Zhou Tai and Xu You worked hard to practice for this purpose.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Time has entered the deep winter season, with heavy snow falling every day, and the entire land of magic and chaos has become a world of snow.
During this period of time, Lu Chen was either practicing the Qing Emperor Sword Technique or practicing the forbidden method. At the same time, he also used his all-attribute physique to cultivate sword arcana of various attributes.
Therefore, although his cultivation level has not improved, his strength has improved a lot.
However, he was not in a hurry to take the Tian Nie Dan. After all, he had not broken through to the Nine Stars Wuji Realm for a long time, and he had not refined his spiritual power to a perfect level. There was no guarantee that he would be able to break through to the Xuantian Realm after taking the Tian Nie Dan.
After all, the Xuantian realm is a watershed in the world of cultivation. Once you step into this realm, you will be among the strong. You don’t have to live alone, and you can occupy a cottage like Zhou Tai at the end. When you step into the later stage, you can even be like Zhou Tai.
Wang Meng is like this, dominating one side.
Therefore, Lu Chen attaches great importance to breaking through the Xuantian Realm. He will never take Tiannedan without absolute certainty.
During this period, Lu Chen also took a good look at the method of restoring the cheap master Wu Lengchan's companion, that is, resurrecting his master's wife. However, there were only some natural and earthly treasures on them, and there were even some treasures that he had never heard of.
medicine.
Therefore, it is not easy to resurrect this cheap master wife.
For this reason, he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
After some time, Lu Chen decided to leave Hutou Village and go to the Ziji Mountains. Because he had been able to initially condense the restriction, he wanted to look for the Sun Essence Stone again.
Before leaving, Lu Chen summoned all the people who were above the middle stage of the Xuantian realm. Zhou Tai and Xu You were among them. They had just reached the middle stage of the Xuantian realm some time ago.
"I will be away for a while. After I leave, everything in the village will be managed by Wang Meng, Yu Zi, Zhou Tai, and Xu You. If there is any trouble, Xu You's opinion will prevail."
Lu Chen made this decision because Xu You was not only more prudent, but also very methodical.
After a pause, he continued: "Also, please don't annex other villages yet. Of course, it's okay to rob others, but don't offend those strong men in the Spiritual Heaven Realm."
"yes."
Wang Meng and others naturally followed Lu Chen's words and took orders one after another.
The next day, Lu Chen took Linger and left Hutou Village.
Heavy snow fell, covering the barren mountains, making the mountains look like snow giants. When the sun shone down, they shone with a crystal luster.
Ling'er followed Lu Chen, looking very happy.
Just when they had just walked out of the Demonic Land, there was a sudden sound in the void in front of them, and a dozen figures flashed out.
In front of them are an old man and a young man. The old man is sixty or seventy years old, with grey-haired hair and wrinkled face; the young man is in his mid-twenties, wearing a blood-red robe, and his eyebrows are like swords, looking very cold and stern.
Behind them, there are more than a dozen people, all wearing uniform blood-colored clothes and carrying swords on their backs. The most important thing is that they all have the cultivation level of Xuantian realm.
"Blood Flag Gate?"
Lu Chen was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled Ling'er to the other side.
"Little friend, wait a moment."
But at this moment, the gray-haired old man suddenly came forward and blocked the way of Lu Chen and the others.
"Dragon Protector Yuan, is there anything wrong between the two of them?" Seeing this, the young man in blood robe stepped forward and asked.
The dozen or so men in blood clothes also surrounded Lu Chen and the other two.
"Young Master, look at this girl?" the old man known as Protector Yuan said with his fingers.
"It's just a girl. Protector Yuan, you are making too much fuss. Let's go back and report the results of this trip to Father." The blood-soaked young man said disapprovingly.
"Haha, Young Master, you haven't broken through to the Spirit Heaven Realm yet so you can't tell that this girl is actually a monster, and she is also a Spirit Rat." The old man surnamed Yuan said with a smile.
"What? That spiritual treasure rat that can search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures?" the blood-soaked young man said in surprise.
"Not bad." The old man named Yuan nodded with a smile.
Hearing this, the young man in blood robe looked at Ling'er with greed in his eyes. He looked at Lu Chen and said: "This friend, I am Cao Rong, the young master of the Blood Flag Sect. I am willing to pay 1 million spiritual crystals to buy it."
What do you think of me as my spiritual pet?"
"I'm sorry, I have no plans to take action against Ling'er. I'll take my leave." Lu Chen refused.
"Bold, you are just an ant in the Nine-Star Infinite Realm, but you dare to reject me. It seems that you are living a good life."
When Cao Rong saw this, he was furious and grabbed Lu Chen. Bloody light surged down from the sky instantly, illuminating Lu Chen and Ling'er's whole bodies with blood red, making their hearts feel cold.
"roll."
Lu Chen's eyes turned cold, and he swatted out a palm, which collided with Cao Rong's claws with a "bang" sound.
However, Lu Chen frowned immediately, because Cao Rong's strength was one or two times stronger than Wang Meng, who was also in the late stage of Xuantian realm, and they couldn't be compared at all.
Cao Rong was also surprised. He looked at Lu Chen, frowned and said, "Did you hide your cultivation?"
In his opinion, it is impossible for a mere nine-star Wuji realm to have the strength to fight with him, so the only explanation is that Lu Chen has hidden his cultivation.
"Young Master?" Seeing this, the old man surnamed Yuan hurriedly stepped forward.
"Hufa Yuan, kill him for me." Cao Rong said coldly.
"Don't worry, young master, I will capture this boy now and deal with it for you." The old man named Yuan nodded when he heard this, and immediately approached Lu Chen. With his cultivation in the early stage of the Spiritual Heaven Realm, he did not believe that Lu Chen could escape from his grasp.
.
"Go and catch that girl."
Seeing this, Cao Rong ordered a dozen other men in blood clothes to catch Ling'er.
"yes."
More than a dozen men in blood-clothed clothes immediately stepped forward and charged at Linger with their swords waving.
At this time, Lu Chen retreated under the palm of the old man named Yuan.
"Young Master." Ling'er said in shock.
"Return to the spirit beast bag." Lu Chen said calmly.
"Oh." Ling'er nodded hurriedly and got into the spirit beast bag on Lu Chen's waist.
"Boy, hand over that girl, I will harass you to death." The old man surnamed Yuan said sharply when he saw this.
Lu Chen stared at the old man without saying a word, and then looked at the dozen or so men in blood-clothed clothes who rushed up. With a wave of his hand, he fired the Van Gan Shattering Void Sword. The sword light surged and dozens of sword energy fell.
"Ahhhh." Most of the people in blood-clothed clothes were split in half, and blood flowed out, even the snowflakes were dyed blood red.
"court death."
When the old man surnamed Yuan saw this situation, his old face turned cold. Without hesitation, he approached Lu Chen. As soon as he lowered his hands, silver light fell from the sky, like the Milky Way falling from the sky, rolling towards Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen had no intention of fighting with him and rushed out immediately.
He used the Turtle Snake Step to fill hundreds of feet in an instant. Such speed frightened the old man surnamed Yuan. He turned to Cao Rong and said: "Please go back first, young master, and your subordinates will kill this boy and bring back the spiritual treasure."
mouse."
"Then I'll go back and wait for the good news from the Protector." Cao Rong said with a cold expression on his face, "Please protect the Protector and bring that boy back with you. I will kill him with my own hands."
"good."
The old man surnamed Yuan nodded immediately when he heard the words, moved his feet, turned into a silver arc, and chased Lu Chen.
