In the blink of an eye, it’s time for the ice and snow to melt and everything to revive.
During this period of time, Chen Li successively practiced the first-level and sixth-level disease-removing skills, the first-level and first-level cleaning skills, the first-level and first-level distance vision skills, the first-level and first-level deworming skills, and the first-level and second-level deworming skills.
Level of earth hearing.
In addition to the disease-removing technique, the following low-level techniques are already completely at home for Chen Li. It doesn't take much effort and most of them can be learned in an hour or two.
Far Eye Technique: Spiritual power is transferred to the acupoints in the eyes, allowing one to see distant places.
Insect repellent: drive away insects, ants, flies and mosquitoes from all around.
Geohearing: You can hear subtle movements in the distance through the earth.
Of course, the above techniques are what Chen Li thinks are useful. They may be used at some point, but they are not very useful. He is not prepared to practice his proficiency to a high level.
As for learning the cleansing technique, it was simply because he was too lazy to draw any more cleansing charms.
Although he is also very curious, after practicing the Cleansing Technique to the maximum, what effect will the Grandmaster-level Cleansing Technique, which is comparable to the first-level and fifth-level spells, have?
During this period, Zhou Hong, who had stayed at the fifth level of Qi training for nearly three years, finally broke through to the fifth level of Qi training.
At the age of less than thirty years old, he has advanced to the sixth level of qi training, and is only one step away from being a monk in the late stage of qi training. This is already considered a good talent among casual cultivators.
Of course there is no comparison with a 'genius' like Chen Li.
…
This world also has a New Year's Day, which is half a month before spring plowing.
The people living in Green River Square are all casual cultivators, so they don't pay much attention to these things, but the atmosphere of the New Year Festival in Luanluocheng is quite strong.
The first day of the new year.
Zhao Lin, Zhang Yan and others followed the local customs and paid a visit to the villagers by chance to give them New Year's gifts.
"Why do you have to do these vain things and waste money? You guys are not living well." Chen Li took a look at the New Year's gifts that were sent to him. They were all spiritual wine, spiritual tea and cakes for New Year greetings.
Things, he said with a smile.
"The gift cannot be discarded. If it weren't for the care of eldest brother, we wouldn't be able to come here. We might have died in Green River Fang." Zhao Lin said respectfully: "Zhao Lin will always bear in mind eldest brother's kindness."
"Yeah yeah!"
"If eldest brother hadn't given us business, we might have gone to Jie Dao to do that business of licking blood from the edge of a knife."
Gu Mengqing, Guo Wu and others hurriedly talked.
Zhang Yan was clumsy in speech and concerned about face. He wanted to say something to express his gratitude but couldn't keep his face. He moved his mouth a few times, but in the end he just laughed a few times and his face became stiff. He just felt that he was out of tune with these people.
Chen Li chuckled, the compliments from these people were obviously over the top.
I just want to ask him for help.
But he didn't care either.
The relationship between interests may seem false, but it is the most reliable.
"You guys came just in time today. I'm going to look for you again in a while." Chen Li said, "I wonder if you are still interested in the business of buying and selling magical instruments and talismans?"
During this period, the price of magical instruments has rebounded significantly.
The number of medium-grade magic weapons has generally exceeded 2.5 medium-grade spiritual stones, and the number of low-grade magic weapons has also increased to 1.3.
This price is not far from the normal price in previous years.
Chen Li didn't want to wait any longer.
Be prepared to drop the bag for safety.
"Look what you said, this is a bowl of rice given to us by our eldest brother. We all want it!" Zhao Lin said quickly, with a happy face.
"Okay! Let's start after the new year." Chen Li agreed.
…
A few days later, Chen Li went to Zhao Lin's house and handed Zhao Lin a medium-grade magical artifact, three low-grade magical artifacts, and twenty amulets for him to test the waters.
Unexpectedly, it was sold out in just two days.
In this way, Chen Li began to ship goods one after another, and the spiritual stones on hand quickly became full.
One month later.
late at night.
In a quiet room opened in the basement.
Chen Li opened his eyes and his face showed joy.
"Finally reached the eighth level of Qi training!"
He counted on his fingers and found that it took seven months.
"The speed is getting slower and slower. It will probably take a year to reach the ninth level of Qi training."
"The Rebuke Technique, Palm Thunder, and Traction Technique have all been practiced to the master level. The Grandmaster level still only has one spiritual finger snap. In addition, the Flash Technique that is focused on has been practiced to the expert level, and the Body Protection Technique has been practiced to proficiency."
"During the Qi training period, I am not afraid of anyone, but if I face Ji Zhu..." Chen Li couldn't help but shook his head.
The last time I killed the second-level monster, I just took advantage of the location.
And he has a sharp blade in his hand.
Totally a fluke.
It's not that his own strength is really like that.
Cross-level challenge, difficult!
Quite difficult.
Almost impossible.
Although he has practiced so many spells, they are either expert level or master level, but they are all low-level spells. The power of any spell does not exceed the first level and seventh level, so it can be used for sneak attacks.
If a foundation is prepared, it is estimated that even the defense will be difficult to break.
He got up from the futon.
"Oh, sleep, sleep!"
…
"You broke through!"
The next day, after dinner, Chen Li went to Bai's house to chat with Bai Jinwang, but Bai Jinwang told him the truth.
"I was lucky enough to break through the eighth level of Qi training last night!" Chen Li took the spiritual tea handed over by a maid, took a sip, and said calmly.
I have to say, people just enjoy it.
Not only did he have three beautiful concubines, he even had five maids.
The more I live, the more nourished I become.
It's just that after such a long time, there is still no movement in the belly of the beautiful concubine.
Bai Jinwang clicked his tongue and said sourly: "The eighth level of Qi training. I will practice the eighth level of Qi before I am thirty. My talent and qualifications are enough. They are not worse than the disciples of the sect."
"Oh, I'm not young anymore. I just look young, but I'm actually already in my forties." Chen Li said modestly.
"I really can't tell." Bai Jinwang was startled for a moment, then straightened up: "You are maintaining good health, but what secret technique did you use?"
"It's just body training!" Chen Li raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"
Bai Jinwang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and lay down on the recliner like a salted fish again: "I have old arms and legs, how can I learn to train my body? I won't die fast enough?"
The two chatted and joked a few words.
Chen Li then asked for advice: "I have always heard people talk about evil spirits, but I don't know what evil spirits are. Does it refer to ghosts?"
"You are only half right. Evil spirits are a general term. In fact, evil spirits are evil spirits and evil spirits are evil spirits. Those ghosts, zombies and the like can be called evil spirits. Evil spirits are evil things, an extremely evil existence. I was
Is this the evil thing that I encountered?" When Bai Jinwang spoke, his face still had some lingering fear and a hint of unwillingness.
Chen Li suddenly understood.
I see.
It seems that what he encountered during his migration was also an evil thing.
Chen Li was curious and was about to ask again. At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door of his house next door.
"Brother, brother! Open the door quickly."
Gu/span> is the voice of Guo Wu in the Zhao Lin quartet.
"It seems that someone is looking for me. I can't chat with you anymore. Let's go first." Chen Li's face changed slightly, he stood up and said. When he heard the anxious voice, he knew something was wrong.
"Let's go, let's go, no one wants to talk to you." Bai Jinwang snorted.
Chen Li walked out of Bai's house.
He saw Guo Wu standing at the door of his house, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, sweating profusely, so he couldn't help but step forward quickly.
Guo Wu heard the noise and turned around quickly. When he saw it was Chen Li, his face relaxed slightly: "Brother, something happened!"
"Let's talk after you come in!" Chen Li whispered, opening the courtyard door without entering the house.
He activated a mute note and waited for the dim light of the mute note to envelope the surroundings before he said, "Tell me, what happened? You're so panicked!"
"Brother, Zhao Lin and the others were captured." Guo Wu swallowed and said.
As he spoke, he quickly told the whole story in detail.
In the past month, the four of them have been selling goods at the casual cultivator market every day. What they sell are all high-value magic weapons, and there is a steady stream of them. As the so-called benefits are attractive, although a few people act cautiously, they are still attracted by others.
Eyed.
The three of them just left the market this evening.
He was intercepted by a group of people who suddenly appeared and was taken away without any resistance.
Fortunately, the four-person team still had something to offer.
Guo Wu is one of the back-up men.
He does not participate in selling goods, and he never contacts a few people in public places. Whether he goes to the market or on the way back, he only follows a few people at a distance, just so that if something unexpected happens, the news can be spread.
Just in case.
Unexpectedly, this time the back trick finally paid off.
"Do you know who captured them?" Chen Li asked, frowning.
"I don't know, but I know where they were caught!" Guo Wu said quickly.
He was quite cautious, and did not panic on the spot, nor did he rush to the rescue without overestimating his capabilities. Afterwards, he followed the group of people into a building, and then hurried to find Chen Li.
Chen Li nodded approvingly: "This will be easier to handle."
He looked at the sky outside and found that it had darkened: "Without further delay, it's probably not too late to go now."
Chen Li greeted Zhou Hong, closed the courtyard door behind his back, and hurriedly followed Guo Wu.
On the way, his face changed rapidly.
His heart was filled with murderous intent.
"I have been practicing self-cultivation for half a year, but I didn't expect to see blood again. Alas, in this world... why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life!"
…
At this moment, inside a large house.
Zhou Dongbo, the leader of the Tianhe Gang, was sitting in the main seat. While watching his subordinates torture the three people they captured to extract confessions, he drank tea calmly. He put down the teacup and said:
"Sooner or later, I have to say, why do you have to suffer all this?" Zhou Dongbo said slowly: "Tell me, where did you get so many magical weapons, and where did you hide the money after selling them?"
"Bah!" Gu Mengqing spit out a mouthful of blood: "I told you a long time ago that these magic weapons are not ours, we are just selling goods for others."
"Then tell me who is the person behind you?" Zhou Dongbo said.
"You can't afford to offend that person, please let us go." Gu Mengqing snorted coldly: "Be careful of causing death."
Zhou Dongbo and all his subordinates laughed loudly: "I can't afford to offend you? Could it be that you are from a foundation-building family or from the Changsheng Sect? Judging from your accent, you should all be from Green River Fang, but you are all cheap.
A desperate outlaw."
Gu Mengqing immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
"As for the remaining two, I don't have anything to say. As long as I say it, we will get the spiritual stone and magical weapon, and I will let you go immediately." Zhou Dongbo asked. Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, he finally became impatient and his face changed.
Brutal:
"Leaving three people is too much, kill one!"
The three people who were tied up finally changed their expressions.
Started to struggle violently.
"Wait, no!" Zhao Lin shouted quickly.
The words haven't finished yet.
Hearing a pop, blood splattered all over his head and face. He turned around with difficulty and saw that Han Zhihao's head had been smashed next to him, and his whole body was twitching unnaturally.
"Actually, it's enough to leave one alone. Let's go ahead and give you a chance. There's only one chance." Zhou Dongbo said calmly, staring at Zhao Lin with cold eyes without any emotion:
"Since you spoke first, it's up to you to do it, and I'll give you dozens of shouts!"
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Zhao Lin's face was pale, his heart was beating violently, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "I...I..."
When it's time to make a difficult decision.
"Gang Leader, two people came to the door, saying they are the people you are looking for, Gang Leader." A subordinate came over quickly and loudly reported.
"The person I'm looking for?" Zhou Dongbo was stunned for a moment, only feeling confused. It wasn't until he saw the uncontrollable joy of the two people kneeling on the ground that he understood, and was a little surprised, and smiled:
"Let him come in and try to see what it's like."
"Yes, Gang Leader!"
Not long after, two people were led in by the gang.
It was Chen Li and Guo Wu in disguise.
"Fellow Taoist is so courageous. Righteousness comes first. It's rare. Why do you want to come here and redeem someone?"
Chen Li glanced around and saw the corpse on the ground. He paused slightly and said with a cold expression: "This is my person. He has been selling goods for me. It is unjustifiable to kill him for no reason."
"Oh, what about that?" Zhou Dongbo said with interest, like a cat playing with a mouse.
He has nine subordinates here.
I am also a monk at the ninth level of Qi training, and I have never seen any big scenes.
As long as it wasn't foundation building, who would he be afraid of?
All the men laughed and shouted.
at this time.
Chen Li's scolding technique was activated instantly, and with the clang of the long sword being unsheathed, his figure flashed past a member of the gang. The smile on that gang member's face had not yet faded, and the panic affected by the scolding technique had just formed, and his head
It has already left the body.
Pillars of blood soared into the sky.
Chen Li's figure was like lightning and he went straight to Zhou Dongbo.
In a short span of seven or eight meters, in the blink of an eye, the heads of four more gang members flew up along the way.
Zhou Dongbo seemed not to be affected by the scolding spell at all. His expression changed immediately and he reacted very quickly. He quickly stretched out his hand pocket and activated the golden light talisman. At the critical moment, with a "boom", Chen Li's second-level long sword was killed by the golden light shield.
Damn it.
One sword has no effect.
Zhou Dongbo's face turned pale with fright, and he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
An extremely dazzling light lit up in the opponent's eyes, and he was unable to see for a moment, and then he felt the golden light shield shaking continuously.
Chen Li's attacks were like a gust of wind and rain. He had swung four or five swords in the blink of an eye, and the golden light shield dimmed rapidly.
He could no longer restrain the crazy fear in his heart, and while desperately retreating, he shouted hysterically,
"I am the fifth-generation great-great-grandson of the ancestor of the Zhou family. You can't kill me..."
Before he could finish his words, the golden light shield shattered.
A ray of cold light penetrated from the center of his forehead and passed out from the back of his head, leaving a big hole in his entire forehead.
"I"
Zhou Dongbo opened his mouth, spit out the last word, and fell to the ground with his head tilted up, eyes closed.
Until his death, he could not understand why he died here.
Isn't it just an ordinary robbery? He has done it countless times and it was safe every time.
Why this time...
After Chen Li killed Zhou Dongbo, he quickly killed the rest of the gang members present without stopping, leaving many corpses lying on the ground.
Then he rushed to the door, broke the neck of the last gang member, and then dragged the body into the hall.
He used his sword to cut off the ropes on Zhao Lin and Gu Mengqing, and said in a deep voice to them: "Go and search yourselves and take all your valuables with you. We can't stay here for long, we'll leave right away!"
The two of them suddenly came back to their senses from the lingering power of the scolding technique, and without daring to hesitate, they quickly dragged their injured bodies and searched the body lying on the ground with Guo Wu.
Chen Li used the Earth Listening Technique.
Listened quietly for a while.
Soon, I found a fish that had slipped through the net and was hiding in a large tank. I ignored him and cried and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
A sword pointed at the head.
So far everything is solved.
A minute later, several people quietly left the mansion and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
