Chapter 55: Encounter on the Road
A few months later, there was a strange movement in the dantian, and vitality gushed out like a spring. Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed. He didn't expect that in the life-and-death adventure in the Wangyue Mountains, under the constant stimulation of crises, his cultivation would be slightly faster than usual. He actually broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, several months earlier than expected.
What an unexpected surprise. I gained a lot from this trip to the mountain. The various spiritual objects and spiritual weapons accumulated in the barrier alone are worth thousands of spiritual stones. I also learned several secrets. technique. It is estimated that other monks will also gain a lot, of course, provided that they can survive these months of adventure.
Soon Lu Xiaotian frowned, there were still four kinds of spiritual herbs required by Li Qingdan Palace, and there were still three kinds of spiritual herbs requested by Li Lingxiao Palace, but they could not be collected completely. There are only a few days left before the Immortal Sect recruits disciples, and it no longer makes sense to stay in the mountains at this time. Other monks should have the same problem as him. Encountering spiritual objects in the mountains is completely random, and it cannot be exactly what you need. There must be many people in Wangyue City exchanging the spiritual objects they need. If you go late, you may not leave anything behind.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian immediately got up and rushed towards the direction of Wangyue City. I am much more proficient in performing the wind control technique than when I first entered the mountain, and the speed is much faster.
Along the way, we occasionally saw groups of returning monks. At this time, most of them were eager to return home. However, some did not gain much and focused on those who returned to the city. After several months of adventure, most of the casual cultivators who returned to the city at this time were wealthy.
Lu Xiaotian encountered several similar fights along the way, often with heavy casualties on both sides. After all, it is not easy to survive several months of adventure.
"Huh?" Lu Xiaotian bypassed some fighting teams and walked a few more miles. He saw several people surrounded by a small team. There were six or seven people on the other side, and only four people were surrounded. He suddenly They are brother and sister Luo Yuan, as well as Zhang Guang and Zheng Shiqi. Luo Yuan's left chest was soaked with blood, but it didn't look like the injury was too serious, but he didn't seem to be in a good situation now.
"What do you want to do? Most people are starting to return to the city now. Do you want to have a bloody battle with us now?" Luo Yuan said in a deep voice.
“Originally we didn’t mean this, but after going into the mountain for several months this time, not only did we gain nothing, but we also consumed a lot of spiritual stones, which resulted in a lot of losses. Those of us who have been able to hold on until now must have gained something. , As long as we are given some money, we are not willing to be this evil person." The middle-aged man headed by the other party had a big black mole on his left face, and he seemed to be talking in a negotiating tone, but his meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"That's unreasonable. You just have a slightly larger number, and the extra few are still in the early stages of Qi refining. Do you really think we are afraid of you?" Zheng Shiqi said with an angry look on his face, and he pulled out his weapon.
“That’s right, it’s his grandma’s fault. We have been hiding from XZ all the way since we entered the mountain, and we managed to save our lives. Now we have to be blackmailed by these bastards. Damn it!” Zhang Guang did before. The general has contracted some military habits and has an extremely hot temper.
"If that's the case, then you can't blame us." The expression of the middle-aged man Hei Mole changed. They couldn't deal with the powerful monsters. They finally met a team that was slightly weaker than them, so they just let it go. I really feel unwilling to do so.
"Hand over the storage bag and I will spare your life!" A clear voice floated from a distance.
The middle-aged man Hei Mole's expression changed. He originally thought that there were only these four people in Luo Yuan's team, but he didn't expect that there was another one with such a arrogant tone. He must have some ability. Even though there were seven people in their team, apart from him, who was at the sixth level of Qi refining, there were only two who were at the fourth and fifth levels. The remaining four are in the early stages of Qi refining and are not of much use.
"Brother Lu!"
"Brother Lu, you are not dead, haha, great!"
Luo Qing, Zhang Guang and others were overjoyed, they did not expect to meet someone here Absolutely reliable reinforcements. In the intrigues of the Moon Mountains, a trustworthy teammate is more important than anything else. In their eyes, Lu Xiaotian is naturally this kind of person.
"Brother Lu, where have you been? After we got separated, I looked for you for a while but couldn't see you. I was afraid of meeting the big weirdo group again. Hey, no, big Why is the weirdo's black gourd in your hand?" Zheng Shiqi was happy at first, and then his face was shocked, with a look of disbelief.
"Hey, Brother Lu, have you reached the sixth level of Qi Refining?" Luo Yuan was also surprised. Even for an alchemist, this advancement speed is too fast.
"The big-headed weirdo chased me for a while, and then I used a formation to trap him and kill him. The gourd naturally came into my hands." Lu Xiaotian smiled calmly. "Brother Lu, you are so powerful. It's all because of that damn naughty Fan Qing. If he hadn't escaped first, with Brother Lu's ability, our team wouldn't have been defeated individually." After several people were shocked, Luo Qing said angrily. .
“Forget it, do you hand over the storage bag now, or do you want us to do it?” Lu Xiaotian walked up the first few steps.
"Haha, you are also here today. What I look down on the most is you people. You are incapable of killing monsters and looking for spiritual objects, so you only set your sights on other casual cultivators." Zhang Guang, Luo Yuan and others held spiritual knives, divided into several directions and blocked the escape routes of several people.
"Although your Excellency is also a master in the middle stage of Qi Refining, we still need two more people in our team. If we take action, it will inevitably hurt both sides. How about letting this matter go?" the middle-aged black mole said with an ugly look on his face.
"Both lose and lose, you think too highly of yourself, it seems that you have to drink wine as a penalty instead of eating!"
Lu Xiaotian patted the black gourd with his hand, opened the mouth of the gourd, and dozens of shadow ants broke through it. The gourd comes out. It buzzed like a small cloud. A swarm of swarms rushed towards the middle-aged black mole. He did not feed these shadow ants with his own flesh and blood. The command is not as smooth as that of the big monster. The big monster can command seven teams to fight in an orderly manner at the same time. He can barely command six teams. But even so, it is extremely difficult for monks in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Seeing Lu Xiaotian take action, Luo Yuan and others were even more unambiguous in their action.
“Damn it, it turned out to be a bug cultivator!” The middle-aged black mole looked pale and gritted his teeth. He put an earth escape talisman on his body and went into the ground. When he emerged again, he was already dozens of feet away. , like Fan Qing, abandoned his teammates and ran for his life.
Lu Xiaotian frowned. The two of them had similar cultivation levels. His speed was not much faster than the other's. It was troublesome to catch up, so he had to give up.
Another person also used the Zhang Tu Escape Talisman to escape, but his cultivation level was too low, so he was intercepted by Luo Yuan before he could escape very far.
"Stop, stop fighting, we surrender!" One of the early Qi Refining monks was almost cut into pieces by Zhang Guangsan. He hurriedly threw away the spiritual weapon in his hand, raised his hands high, and said with a mournful face. After losing their storage bag and their lives, several other casual cultivators who saw that they could not escape also made wise choices one after another.
“You guys know each other!” Zheng Shiqi snorted after kicking someone over.
"Although the strength is not very good, the value is quite rich. It's a pity that one of them ran away. Brother Lu, you saved my life, you choose first." Zhang Guangda carelessly took out several storage bags He took out all the spiritual objects and mentioned them to Lu Xiaotian.
The six storage bags were worth more than two hundred spiritual stones in total. There were no valuable spiritual herbs in them, so Lu Xiaotian unceremoniously took his share. After dividing the things, several scattered cultivators fled, fearing that Lu Xiaotian and others would change their minds.
"Brother Lu, it's great to have you back. I thought I would never see you again. After we were separated, the four of us were lucky enough to meet again. Then we searched for you for nearly half a month, but there was no news. Worried about being attacked by other teams, the four of us changed places. Fang, I have been careful, and luckily I didn’t make a big mistake, but I didn’t expect that I would be blocked by someone on the way back. If Brother Lu hadn’t appeared in time, I would have been in danger again this time.”
Let’s go back together. On the way to Wangyue City, Zheng Shiqi said with great emotion.
After Lu Xiaotian reunited with the four people, he felt a little relieved. He was alone and could not cope with many situations. After talking to a few people, I found out that after the team fell apart, they were in a bad situation, but they were unwilling to return to Wangyue City directly, so they hid in XZ all the way, collected some spiritual objects, and killed a few monsters, until today Looking back at Moon City, something happened. But luckily I met him, and each of them was able to share more than forty spiritual stones without much effort. It was considered the most rewarding day.
