Lu Kun sat cross-legged in a cave and slowly opened his eyes. He relied on the spirit-controlling armguard to transform the mana in his arm.
Then he did not continue to restore his mana, but took out the storage bag of the previous foundation-building immortal cultivator. The mana in his hand flashed, and he fell forward, and a pile of spiritual stones and various magical materials appeared on the ground.
Lu Kun frowned and murmured to himself: "This foundation-building casual cultivator is too poor. I thought he had at least thousands of low-level spiritual stones on his body, but I didn't expect he only had more than a thousand."
But how did Lu Kun know that this short man was already considered a quite valuable casual cultivator. Ordinary casual cultivators in the early stages of foundation building would have already spent most of their spiritual stones in preparation for breaking through the Qi refining period.
"On the contrary, there are a lot of weapon refining materials! There is also his top-grade magical weapon, which can be considered a good harvest for me. I don't need this red grappling hook, so I can sell it, so that I can buy more weapon refining materials."
"Hey, what is this?"
He suddenly saw a few familiar things.
Lu Kun made a move with his hand, and three token-like magic weapons floated out from them, with the words "Yueyang Sect" printed on the front.
"Isn't this the sect token of my Yueyang Sect? Why does he have it here?"
Then Lu Kun injected mana into it.
"He is a disciple of the three peaks: Weapon Refining Peak, Chaoyang Peak, and Yuyang Peak!"
"Could it be that they were all ambushed and killed by this foundation-building immortal cultivator?"
Lu Kun snorted coldly and said to himself: "Junior Brother Song must have done something good. It seems that this kind of thing has been done more than once."
"You caused me, Lu Kun, to almost die. I must avenge you. Otherwise, if you knew that I was not dead, you might have made other secret moves."
Then Lu Kun looked at his body again, frowned and said: "What on earth can allow this foundation-building immortal cultivator to track me from such a distance?"
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then began to search among the items on the ground. Not long after, he took out a magic plate and poured mana into it.
He saw the pointer in the Dharma plate pointing to his position. Lu Kun adjusted the position of the Dharma plate and finally found that the pointer was pointing to his waist.
Lu Kun observed carefully with his golden eyes and found a small black powder attached to his storage bag.
"Hey, this jet black powder!"
Lu Kun seemed to have remembered something, and rummaged through the pile of things again. It didn't take long for him to find a black stone. The surface of this stone was completely powdered, exactly the same as the one on his storage bag.
Then he put the jet black stone close to the storage bag.
In the blink of an eye, the black powder on the storage bag was sucked onto the stone, and the tracking disk also lost its effect. Seeing this, Lu Kun showed a look of surprise.
"It turns out that this set of tracking instruments is made from black magnetic ore. No wonder the tracking effect is so good."
"Moreover, the black magnetite and the material of the storage bag have a mutual attraction effect, and its powder is easily adsorbed on the storage bag. No wonder I didn't notice it with my spiritual consciousness. This treasure is of great value and it gives me an advantage.
"
After solving the problem of being tracked, Lu Kun immediately left the cave and found another place to heal his injuries.
He was not in a hurry to recover all his mana before because he was not sure whether his opponent still had companions in the foundation building stage. In his current state, he was definitely not an opponent.
…
A few days later, in Lingmingfang City, in the Yueyang Sect's Artifact Refining Pavilion, Song Ren finished greeting a group of cultivators who were buying magic weapons. He saw a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining come in. He immediately greeted him and greeted him warmly.
stand up.
In fact, Song Ren's task is to sit in the Weapon Refining Pavilion to prevent some casual cultivators from deliberately causing trouble, and by the way, help the Weapon Refining Pavilion to promote and sell some top-quality magic weapons.
He does not need to greet every immortal cultivator who comes in. He can just let mortals receive them.
If any other Yueyang Sect cultivators saw this scene, they would not be surprised. This Junior Brother Song was quite famous in the sect, and almost all the Qi Refining Stage disciples knew him.
It is because Song Ren likes to make friends with all kinds of low-level monks. Whether it is in the middle or late stage of Qi refining, he will always get to know them and chat with them for a few words.
But only Song Ren himself knew that he did this to learn more about these immortal cultivators.
Song Ren's first mission many years ago was the Weapon Refining Pavilion mission in Lingmingfang City. However, on the way to Lingmingfang City, he was ambushed by several casual cultivators and almost died.
After constantly begging for mercy, the bosses of these casual cultivators agreed to let him go, but they asked him to swear a soul oath to help them collect information on various casual cultivators in Lingmingfang City and make tracking marks.
As a disciple performing tasks in the Yueyang Sect's Artifact Refining Pavilion, he has a natural advantage. Based on their trust in the Yueyang Sect, others will be less wary when speaking.
The purpose of collecting information is to screen out valuable immortal cultivators, and then Song Ren will sprinkle tracking materials on them. Then these ruthless cultivators will ambush this "prey" far away from Lingmingfang City.
This group of people was extremely cautious every time they ambush, and only attacked prey that they were completely sure of. Every time they attacked, they were clean and neat, leaving no traces. In addition, the dead were all casual cultivators who died near Lingming Demon Valley.
How many people feel it is too strange.
Every time these people gain something, they will share a little bit with Song Ren, firstly to let him taste the sweetness of killing people and seizing treasures, and secondly to drag him into the water.
Song Ren was reluctant to do this at first, but as more and more spiritual stones were allocated to him, he became swayed. In the first few years, he relied on these resources to advance to the later stage of Qi Refining.
Then his greed became more and more serious, and he took on the task of Lingmingfang City every time. He became bolder and targeted the Qi-refining disciples of his sect.
Song Ren is very smart. These fellow disciples he chose are all those who come to Lingming Demon Valley to perform tasks. Although some tasks do not require going deep into the Demon Valley and are relatively simple, the dangers in Lingming Demon Valley are all sudden.
.
Even if these people died, they would be considered to have encountered special circumstances during the mission, and no one would suspect Song Ren at all.
When Lu Kun came to the Weapon Refining Pavilion before, Song Ren felt that Lu Kun was very powerful, so he didn't think too much about it. However, when he saw Lu Kun refining two top-quality magic weapons in a row, he felt a little greedy in his heart.
In addition, half a year ago, the leader of the group of loose cultivators successfully established the foundation, and Song Ren quietly released the tracking materials when sending Lu Kun to Yueyang Pavilion.
…
Song Ren sent away a casual cultivator who was in the late stage of Qi refining with a smile on his face, and then stood aside, looking at the various cultivators outside, still thinking about the scene where he scattered the tracking materials on Lu Kun's storage bag.
"Senior Brother Lu, if you want to blame him, it's because he's worth a lot of money. If he hadn't cooperated with this group of people, how could he have become a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining at this age? If he accumulated some resources, he would even be able to sprint to the foundation building stage.
!”
"But these days have passed. Why hasn't that guy given me any news? He used to notify me as soon as possible. Could he have missed the point?"
"Probably not. The strength in the foundation building stage is not comparable to that in the Qi refining stage. It's better to wait for two more days. Maybe the person did it because he was far away from Lingmingfang City to be on the safe side!"
Just when Song Ren was thinking wildly, Chen Yurou, wearing a pink dress, walked forward from the backyard. Her face was a little red, the collar of her dress was slightly open, and a feeling of spring came to her face.
She looked at Song Ren's back, her moist eyes were shining brightly, and her voice was soft and charming, interrupting Song Ren's thoughts.
"Senior Brother Song, you are still greeting the immortal cultivators!"
When Song Ren heard this, he turned around and saw this young junior sister who was full of love, as if something was tickling her heart.
He breathed a little faster and replied: "It turns out to be Junior Sister Chen. Junior Sister must also know that if I sell more high-priced magic weapons, the higher my task completion rate will be, and I will be able to accumulate more contribution points to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills."
Junior Sister Chen looked at Song Ren with bright eyes, walked up and said, "Senior Brother Song is not even thirty now. He has already reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and is already preparing for foundation building."
Yes, you are really young and promising!"
When Song Ren heard Junior Sister Chen's praise, he couldn't help but feel a little carried away. He glanced at Junior Sister Chen's chest secretly and said: "Junior Sister looks like she is only twenty years old, but her cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi refining. In terms of qualifications, Senior Brother is far behind.
Far."
Seeing Song Ren's eyes, Chen Yurou chuckled and said, "Senior brother, do you know that you and I are actually quite destined?"
Song Ren was distracted by Chen Yurou's laughter. He stared at this charming face and blurted out, "What fate? Is it fate?"
"I hate it, senior brother, where did you want to go? Both junior sister and senior brother got started under the introduction of Senior Uncle Sun. Do you think this is fate?"
Song Ren looked suddenly enlightened, but his eyes towards Chen Yurou became even more intense.
You must know that not all Qi Refining Stage disciples are selected from Yueyangfang City, and many are guaranteed entry by the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples within the sect. Each Foundation Establishment Stage disciple has three quotas.
Most of these disciples have average qualifications. They are either the sons and nephews of these foundation-building immortal cultivators, or they have spent a lot of money to enter the sect.
With the implementation of these two methods, the entire Yueyang Sect has nearly five hundred disciples in the Qi Refining stage. Only when the number of Qi Refining stage disciples increases can the number of Immortal Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage remain at around a hundred.
Song Ren and Chen Yurou spent a lot of money to hire Yueyang Sect's foundation-building monks to guarantee the disciples who would get started. After entering the Yueyang Sect, they were almost penniless.
In this way, Song Ren accumulated resources and reached the twelfth level of Qi training.
But how did Chen Yurou reach the advanced stage of Qi refining at this age?
Song Ren couldn't help but have this doubt in his mind, before he could think it through.
Chen Yurou said to him again: "Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister, I want to go out to the lake to take a bath. There is only well water in Lingmingfang City, and it is ice and cold. It is very uncomfortable. I wonder if Senior Brother can accompany Junior Sister. There are many casual cultivators here."
There are so many, junior sister is a little scared."
Song Ren was not a fool. He immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, threw away the doubts in his mind, and said excitedly: "Junior sister, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me."
After saying that, Song Ren walked out of the Weapon Refining Pavilion with this coquettish junior sister in the envious eyes of another mid-stage Qi Refining disciple in the shop.
A "touch" sound.
After taking just two steps, Song Ren bumped into someone with the beauty beside him, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He looked up and saw a bald man wearing a gray robe with a sinewy face. He was extremely powerful and had the cultivation level of Qi Refining Dzogchen.
Song Ren suppressed the curse words again. Facing such a powerful immortal cultivator, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
This big man seemed to have no feeling for Song Ren. He was mumbling something in his mouth and rolling an extremely hot little fireball in his hand.
"Senior Brother Song, why are you in a daze? This immortal cultivator must be obsessed with studying magic. Let's set off quickly."
Song Ren nodded when he heard this, leaving the bald man behind, and the two of them walked out of Lingming Demon Valley.
Just after the two of them walked away, a smile appeared on the corner of the bald man's mouth. He was Lu Kun with a changed face. After killing this foundation-building immortal cultivator, Lu Kun hid in a place to heal his wounds, spending a lot of money
After several days, the lost blood essence and blood were completely replenished, and all the muscle power was restored to its peak.
The previous battle had burned off his eyebrows and hair, so he simply disguised himself like this.
He had arrived in Lingmingfang City a day ago and was stationed near the Refining Pavilion, pretending to study spells and waiting for Song Ren to come out of the valley. Many passers-by were afraid of his deep magic power, but no one bothered him.
He just saw Song Ren coming out, so he collided with him and took the opportunity to sprinkle some black magnetite powder on his storage bag. Song Ren never thought that this method would be used on himself.
After half an hour, Lu Kun slowly walked out of Lingmingfang City, took out the tracking magic weapon, injected mana into it, determined their location, summoned the green boat, and flew in a certain direction.
The speed of the cyan boat he commanded was not comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but the cyan boat was a high-grade magic weapon. Driven by his Dzogchen magic power, it was much faster than the flying magic tools of ordinary immortal cultivators.
"Hey, the two of them are not moving." Lu Kun spent a meal and got close to where Song Ren was, landed down, cast an invisibility spell on himself, gathered his consciousness and mana, and slowly
Go forward.
Not long after, they came to a lake, and Lu Kun stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence.
There were two naked bodies rolling and lingering on the lake shore, accompanied by bursts of breathing and intense "slapping" sounds.
"I didn't expect that Junior Sister Chen was so coquettish. She seduced me in front of everyone before. I didn't expect that she would be hooking up with Song Ren in just a few days."
"Eh, that's not right."
The entangled two people stopped rolling, and Junior Sister Chen's tender and plump body was sitting cross-legged on Song Ren's body, squirming crazily, and pressing her hands firmly on Song Ren's belly.
And Song Ren's body kept twitching, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, his eyes showed a look of horror, and then his whole body shriveled up, like a mummy, and the mana fluctuations on his body almost disappeared.
