In the mountain forest, Lin Zheyu stepped on the dead branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.
He moved very slowly, with a leisurely look on his face, admiring the scenery in the mountains and forests while patrolling.
The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark forest.
"There's something wrong with the evil force here. It's much stronger than other places."
Lin Zheyu stopped suddenly.
He felt it carefully to confirm that he had not perceived anything wrong.
The uneven distribution of the concentration of Yin evil force often means that the source of Yin evil force has appeared nearby, interfering with the concentration of Yin evil force in the air.
"Not far from Wuling City, there is a source of evil power. Something seems wrong."
"Is there something else going on?"
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
According to his understanding, each city and the area around the city are shrouded in the radiation of the Wei Dynasty's national destiny or belief.
In his perception, the power of Yin evil in these places is extremely weak, and he has never found a sudden source of evil power.
This was the first time that he sensed the existence of what seemed to be the source of evil power at such a close location.
Lin Zheyu did not hesitate and walked in the direction with a higher concentration of evil power.
After walking more than 600 meters, Lin Zheyu stopped.
"Sure enough, the source of evil power has really emerged."
Lin Zheyu looked at the grass half a man tall in front of him, where the concentration of Yin evil power was the highest, and the aura of Yin evil power was constantly emitting to the outside world.
Even in broad daylight, it still unswervingly exudes a faint Yin evil force, affecting the concentration of Yin evil power around it.
He slowly walked towards that location, and the purple sword light flashed across like lightning.
From the grass half as tall as a man, a roar came to an abrupt end, accompanied by the sound of the head hitting the ground.
"It's interesting that the demon puppet is lurking here."
"Perhaps, this time I can find a more perfect excuse to break through the level of strength."
The corners of Lin Zheyu's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.
Something is wrong.
The emergence of the source of Yin evil power means that the influence of the fate or belief of the Wei Dynasty on the radiation range is getting lower and lower.
This led to the source of evil power beginning to appear in the mountains and forests so close to the city.
Pick up the head of the demon puppet.
It’s a demon puppet that only practices at the marrow level. It’s not bad to get 10 points of contribution.
After marking the spot, Lin Zheyu grabbed the demon puppet's head and continued to patrol near the city guard's defense line.
More than an hour later.
crackle~
The sound of burning firewood could be heard from where Lin Zheyu roasted ferocious beast meat in his spare time.
For more than half a month, Li Yin was influenced by Lin Zheyu and began to have nothing to do, grilling some ferocious beast meat to pass the time.
Swish~~
There was a familiar sound in the forest. It was Lin Zheyu who was back.
She raised her head and asked softly: "I grilled some meat, you want to eat..."
"hiss……"
"What are you doing here, hunting the three-headed demon without saying a word?"
Li Yin finished speaking and stood up in surprise.
I saw Lin Zheyu holding three ferocious demon puppet heads in his hand, walking slowly out of the forest with a leisurely pace.
"I was lucky. I went on patrol and met three demon puppets who were seeking death." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
"No, we cleared all the nearby demon puppets last night. During the day, the demon puppets were suppressed and would instinctively look for places to hide."
"How could there be a demon puppet nearby!"
Li Yin frowned and his expression became a little solemn.
She also realized that something was wrong.
"So, I'm lucky."
Lin Zheyu smiled and joked.
After making a joke, he put away his smile and said seriously: "I will hand in the task first. You can tell Guo Yu and Zheng Shan about this."
"I just patrolled the nearby area and found three demon puppets without leaving too far. If you keep searching, there should be many more."
Lin Zheyu reminded: "Remember to be careful."
"good."
Li Yin nodded.
She threw away the half-roasted beast meat and walked into the forest with her long sword.
…
I went to the nearest registration office and handed in the task, and another thirty contribution points were recorded.
After carrying out the mission for more than half a month, although Lin Zheyu has always been a Buddhist and rarely goes out to hunt demon puppets, his gains are not much less than others.
Lin Zheyu's perception is too strong.
With his strong perception and strength, he can easily find places where the concentration of Yin evil power is relatively high, follow it to find the hidden demon puppet, and kill it.
In more than half a month, I have accumulated 136 contribution points.
Including the 30 points of contribution just recorded today, there are a total of 166 contributions.
"A bottle of level three spiritual fluid only costs 30 contribution points, which is really cheap."
Lin Zheyu couldn't help but sigh.
This time Wei spent a lot of money, and the exchange price was too cheap compared to the price within the sect.
If he hadn't been worried about being targeted by the forces behind the unknown demon god, Lin Zheyu would have gone all out to hunt demon puppets.
After handing in the task, Lin Zheyu returned to the mountains and started his daily barbecue activities again.
He has found all the demon puppets near the defense line. Within a three-kilometer radius, if there are no accidents, there should be no other demon puppets.
Three kilometers away, Lin Zheyu didn't want to look for it.
The accumulated source power is not enough, and the spiritual liquid is also somewhat insufficient.
Even if he has to put himself into crisis and look for opportunities to break through the level of strength, it is only when he is ready.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:20
Skill:
Holy Spiritual Skill (Second Level 0%)

"Twenty units of source power are already there. According to the current progress, we will be able to accumulate one hundred units in about two months."
"The situation is not good now. I don't know if I can hold on for two months."
"You have to be prepared at all times to deal with possible changes. Twenty units of source power is not enough for me to gather all my true strength, but it can still gather a small amount."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
Time passes slowly.
The sun is setting in the west, and the dim sunlight is shining.
The aroma of barbecue, seasonings, chili noodles mixed with gravy, grilled under the charcoal fire, exudes a mouth-watering aroma.
When the breeze blows, the fragrance wafts into the nearby mountains and forests.
"Brother Lin, you are grilling meat again."
"Many demon puppets have appeared in the mountains and forests, lurking nearby and hiding silently. Something big is probably going to happen recently."
Guo Yu walked out of the forest, holding the head of a demon puppet in his hand.
He looked a little embarrassed, his clothes were torn by the demon puppet during the battle, and there were several wounds on his body that still contained the evil power.
His chest was rising and falling. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot of injuries while hunting the demon puppet this time.
"Only when you are full can you have the strength to kill the enemy. Take your time. There are so many demon puppets that you can't kill them all." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
He handed over the freshly roasted beast meat: "You are injured, do you want to eat some barbecue to supplement it?"
"Brother Lin's barbecue skills are top-notch. I've wanted to try it for a long time."
Guo Yu casually threw the demon puppet's head on the ground, and Lin Zheyu began to taste the vicious beast meat that Lin Zheyu handed over.
"Where are Li Yin and the others, haven't they come back yet?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"Not yet, they went to chase another demon puppet. I was injured a little, so I'll come back and rest first. I'll go over to meet them later."
"There may be a lot of skilled demon puppets appearing tonight. Miss Li, Brother Zheng and I plan to cooperate and hunt demon puppets together. Brother Lin, do you want to join us?"
Guo Yu asked with a smile while chewing the barbecue.
"I won't be with you if I have something else to do."
Lin Zheyu rejected Guo Yu's invitation.
Guo Yu smiled and nodded, not taking it to heart.
After more than half a month of getting along, he also got to know Lin Zheyu's temperament. He knew that in addition to liking barbecue, Lin Zheyu also liked to act alone and did not cooperate with others.
Time passes slowly.
The sun sets in the west and night begins to fall.
Lin Zheyu's two-day and one-night mission ended.
After eating the last piece of barbecue, he stood up and dusted himself off.
…
"Hello, where is the contribution point exchange office?"
In Wuling City, Lin Zheyu came to the city guard affairs office and asked.
Changes may occur at any time, so he must make preparations in advance, exchange enough spiritual liquid, and carry the spiritual liquid and the three spiritual stones obtained from Pei Xuan with him.
"My lord, please come with me."
A soldier came up to him and said respectfully.
Following the soldier exchange office, the person responsible for exchanging contribution points was an old man at the Huajin level.
The old man's eyes were sharp and his spirit was strong, and his body contained a strong bloody murderous intention that could not be unleashed.
The moment Lin Zheyu came in, his eyes looked at Lin Zheyu, and a powerful pressure came over him instantly.
Lin Zheyu couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, he did not show any displeasure, but instead smiled and gave a fist-cup salute to the old man.
"I'm Lin Zheyu, I'm here to exchange items."
Lin Zheyu's expression remained as usual, as if he didn't feel the terrifying pressure of the old man like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Some elderly and powerful seniors like to do some probing behavior when they meet juniors with potential. Lin Zheyu is no longer surprised.
The old man was a little surprised when he saw that Lin Zheyu remained unmoved under the powerful pressure of his true intention.
'What a strong spirit!'
'With such a strong spiritual will in the Marrow Realm, if this kid doesn't die young, he will definitely be promoted to the Grandmaster Realm.'
The old man said secretly.
He nodded slightly, and the pressure of his true intention disappeared in an instant, and said lightly: "You are very good."
"This is the exchange list. See for yourself what items you want to exchange for." The old man said calmly.
Lin Zheyu stepped forward and glanced at the items on the list, which were the same as the list he got before.
He did not hesitate and said directly: "Please help me exchange five bottles of third-level spiritual liquid."
"good."
The old man nodded.
After receiving Lin Zheyu's talisman and seeing Lin Zheyu's identity information, the old man suddenly felt enlightened.
‘Lin Zheyu, the newly promoted genius disciple of the Wuji Sect, is ranked 24th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. No wonder, no wonder...’ the old man said secretly.
He had heard about Lin Zheyu, a genius on the Hidden Dragon List.
I heard that his talent is so amazing that he can be called a monster.
Less than two years after joining the Wuji Sect, he rose like a rocket, ranking 24th on the Qianlong Ranking, becoming the number one member of the younger generation of the Wuji Sect.
The old man registered the exchange items, deducted the contribution point record on the talisman, and walked into the back room.
When he came out again, he had four jade bottles in his hands.
"The third-level spiritual liquid contains the most alien energy. Although the exchange price is the lowest, the price/performance ratio is the worst."
"Not only is the absorption speed slow, but it also requires a lot of effort to understand the alien energy." The old man said calmly.
He is a talent-loving person and went out of his way to remind me.
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me that I have other uses for redeeming the third-level spiritual liquid. The purity of the spiritual liquid will not be affected."
Lin Zheyu cupped his fists and thanked him.
For Lin Zheyu, the third-level spiritual liquid is the most cost-effective.
Although there are many impurities, when he uses the source power as an energy supplement, it does not have much impact.
Return to the sect.
Lin Zheyu returned the secret books he had read and exchanged them for new skill secrets and a martial arts research manual from Tianlu Pavilion.
Lin Zheyu has condensed 42 true meanings, almost reaching the limit of his spiritual will.
Therefore, he now exchanges a large number of martial arts techniques, research manuals for strong men, and some fragments of ancient period books every day, and comes back to read and study them.
early morning.
The sun rises, casting soft golden sunlight.
In the courtyard, the three-meter-tall lemon tree was in bloom, and its fragrant and light fragrance filled the entire courtyard.
Lin Zheyu sat under the Lomon tree, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, and reading the classics he had just borrowed.
"...
Everyone has three major divine treasures in their body: the essence treasure, the essence treasure, and the spirit treasure.
However, the divine treasure contained in the acupoints does not come from innateness, but is accumulated the day after tomorrow..."
Lin Zheyu couldn't help but look at the content recorded in the classics.
This classic is not a Kung Fu method, but a martial arts research manual written by a strong man named Bai Zheng.
It records Bai Zheng's thoughts, research, and experiences on martial arts.
“Interesting idea.”
"If the divine treasure is not innate but accumulated the day after tomorrow, how can it be accumulated?"
"Many powerful warriors cannot find a way to open the divine treasure. Is it because there is no accumulation, so after opening the acupoint, there is nothing inside?"
Such thoughts flashed through Lin Zheyu's mind.
This idea is possible.
The scientific education in his previous life taught Lin Zheyu the principle of conservation of energy.
In this life, I have been reincarnated into this world with powerful power, and energy conservation is still everywhere.
The description of the three great treasures is too powerful and incredible.
If the human body contains such powerful energy, then where does this energy come from? It cannot be created out of nothing, right?
Lin Zheyu's previous guess was that the mystery of the human body allowed warriors to open up the divine treasures, communicate with heaven and earth, and touch the mysterious realm, thus leveraging the mysterious energy of the universe.
But there are many unreasonable things in this guess.
If the human body is so mysterious, immortal cultivators who are stronger than warriors should be able to develop the three great treasures far more than warriors.
The three great sacred treasures should have been thoroughly studied long ago.
However, Lin Zheyu didn't know much about immortal cultivators, and he only made guesses about the cultivation methods of immortal cultivators based on his knowledge from previous lives and the information collected in this life.
Before, he could only hide his doubts about Shenzang in his heart.
Now, after seeing this martial arts secret book written by Bai Zheng, a lot of doubts in his heart were solved.
"What's the method?"
"Senior Bai hasn't been able to develop a method of nourishing the acupoints and accumulating divine treasures?"
Lin Zheyu read the entire classic, but could not find a way to cultivate the divine treasure.
He thought for a while and continued to read the martial arts classics written by Senior Bai Zheng from the beginning.
This time, as I read, a lot of relevant martial arts knowledge flowed through my brain.
"Huh……"
"The Yin Yang Joy Gong and the idea of Senior Bai Zheng are similar in some places."
Looking through the classics again, Lin Zheyu had more ideas.
Fragments of various exercises, magic exercises, evil exercises, and messy exercises that he had read before were all flowing through Lin Zheyu's mind.
Lin Zheyu discovered that the Yin-Yang Acacia Gong method of extracting yin and replenishing yang may be used to nourish the spiritual treasure.
"It may be feasible in theory, but in practice, there are many problems."
"Well……"
Lin Zheyu fell into deep thought.
After thinking hard to no avail, Lin Zheyu covered up the martial arts classics and headed to Tianlu Pavilion.
This time, he exchanged a large number of classics related to acupoints and meridians to increase his understanding of the acupoints of the human body.
…
Deep in the mountains.
In a forest shrouded in poisonous miasma and mist.
A blazing fire was lit in the square. Men and women wearing the same clothes, old and young, came to the square in an orderly manner, lined up neatly, and prayed devoutly towards the statue of the god in the center of the square.
Next to the statue is a magnificent shrine built of wood.
In the temple, two rows of figures wearing mysterious costumes prayed devoutly to the statue of the demon god and listened to the oracle from the demon god.
Half an hour later.
After the prayer ended, the mysterious men in the temple dispersed, leaving only a man wearing priestly attire.
"Did you catch that little guy with a special destiny?"
The priest looked at the man standing silently and asked in a calm tone.
"not yet."
"The man was very cautious and stayed not far from the city guard station. In order not to alert the enemy, he did not take action."
The man replied respectfully.
"Have you found anyone with other fates?" the priest continued to ask.
"Three have been found, but there are still five people with five fates that have not been found." The man said, "If we add that little guy, there will be four more."
"That little guy from Wuling City is not in a hurry, the opportunity will come soon."
"Go find Ji Huan and cooperate with their actions. When they start, go and capture that person." The priest said calmly.
"Yes, sir."
The man responded respectfully.
…
Time is like water.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
After discovering the source of the evil power in the mountain forest near Wuling City, as Lin Zheyu expected, more and more demon puppets appeared.
In areas close to the defense line, there are more and more places where the power of evil is constantly emitting.
Even if Lin Zheyu only patrols near the defense line, he can still hunt several demon puppets every day.
Roar!
Hoho!
In the forest, there were roars.
Lin Zheyu glanced at the distance of the mountain forest and continued patrolling.
He tapped his toes and appeared more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye.
After maximizing his perception and confirming that there was no abnormality in the concentration of Yin evil power nearby, Lin Zheyu did not stop at all.
"I found another little thing."
Lin Zheyu grinned, changed his direction, and rushed toward the southwest.
call out!
The purple sword light flashed through the darkness like lightning, and a huge demon puppet suddenly rushed out of the bushes. After roaring and rushing out for more than ten meters, the head and body separated and rolled to the ground.
"The demon puppet has no intelligence, and the guy who controls the demon puppet behind it also has no intelligence. The place where the demon puppet hides is exactly the same every time."
Lin Zheyu said softly.
At the source of the evil power, he hunted two demon puppets.
There are people behind these demon puppets who suppress their instincts and quietly lurk near Wuling City, hiding at the source of the evil power.
Lin Zheyu only needs to walk around the source of the Yin evil force every day, and he will always gain something.
Wei officials also discovered this.
The City Guards sent people to keep an eye on the source of the evil force and regularly cleaned out the demon puppets lurking here.
Whoosh~
Whoosh~~
Lin Zheyu held the demon puppet's head and moved quickly through the forest.
After one patrol, Lin Zheyu changed his route.
"Eh~"
"There's one here too."
"It seems that there are many more demon puppets lurking nearby than imagined!"
Lin Zheyu had a demon puppet's head in his hand.
The place where this head is hidden is not the source of evil power, but an ordinary place.
If he hadn't had strong senses and happened to pass by the hiding place of the demon puppet, he wouldn't have been able to find the hidden demon puppet.
"This demon puppet is no good, it's actually at the energy-transforming level."
Lin Zheyu judged the strength of this demon puppet, threw the head back to the ground with some helplessness, and hid it again.
"Even demon puppets at the Huajin level have appeared here. It seems that the accident is not far away from happening."
Lin Zheyu said secretly.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:65
Skill:
Holy Spiritual Skill (Second Level 0%)
Hunyuan Wuji True Skill (Third Level 0%)
He looked at the data in his consciousness. After this period of accumulation, the source power had accumulated to 65 units.
No matter how difficult it is to break through the 42 true meanings into energy, 65 units of source power should be enough.
In addition to source power, during this period of time, he also accumulated 27 bottles of spiritual liquid and three spiritual stones.
Lin Zheyu packed the spiritual liquid in a large jade bottle, which was convenient for carrying around. The amount of 27 bottles of spiritual liquid added up to a little more than one liter.
"There are immortal cultivators in this world. I wonder if there are storage bags..." Lin Zheyu thought.
He has been coveting such a magical thing as a storage bag for a long time, but unfortunately there is no way to buy it.
But if you can buy it, it will probably be very expensive.
Lin Zheyu patrolled around and returned to the place where he roasted ferocious beast meat with a demon puppet head in his hand.
"Master Lin, General Wei asked you to come over."
Lin Zheyu threw the demon puppet's head aside and was just about to continue the barbecue when a soldier trotted over and said respectfully.
"Did the general say something?"
Lin Zheyu asked.
"Several adults have come and summoned all the warriors together. It seems there is something urgent."
"Master Li, Master Guo, they have all passed."
the soldier replied.
"Help me take this demon puppet head and register it."
Lin Zheyu raised his right foot, lifted the demon puppet's head towards the soldiers, and gave instructions.
When they arrived at the military camp, Li Yin, Guo Yu, and Zheng Shan were all there.
Besides them, there were several strangers sitting at the top.
Even General Wei Yun could only stand quietly and listen to the instructions of the visitor.
The moment Lin Zheyu stepped into the military camp, Lin Zheyu keenly felt that a strange young man looked towards him.
"Who is this person?"
Lin Zheyu was secretly wary.
Although the other party concealed it very well, Lin Zheyu could clearly sense the joking and slight hostility revealed by the young man.
"What happened?"
Lin Zheyu asked in a lowered voice.
Those strangers were discussing something with General Wei Yun and a Huajin-level commander, and what would happen without Lin Zheyu and the others.
It seems that they came here this time just to wait for the outcome of the discussion and to act according to orders.
"I don't know. It seems that something unexpected happened and something big is going to happen." Li Yin also lowered his voice and said.
