Chapter 104: Two years, promoted to the sixth level of foundation building
In two years, in the desert of the Western Region, a headhunter with superb tracking skills and fierce swordsmanship appeared.
Dugu Yuanyan, Gong Changyan, Bao Bidong, Xiang Taifa and dozens of other practitioners who had been cultivating the foundation level for many years died under his sword one by one.
As a result, his reputation gradually grew, and the people in the Western Regions appreciated his kindness and called him Canglang Beiyue, which means the wolf that guards the sheep. Jie Xiu secretly calls him a mad dog, meaning that once he is targeted, he will fight to the death and find it difficult to escape.
However, this excellent method also aroused the dissatisfaction of many tribulation cultivators. Everyone was in danger, so they united and launched several sieges against this person.
But this headhunter is still alive, but there are fewer and fewer famous Jie cultivators in this area.
Western Region, Huangsha City.
Inside a post station.
Xiao Yuxue wore an ugly but exquisitely crafted mask on her face and was listening to Mr. Huang telling stories.
Xiao Yuxue has a playful temperament, but she is also somewhat competitive with her sister, so a year ago she secretly ran away from the Heavenly Palace of Beasts, hoping to get rid of her parents and sister and hone her own Taoism.
But she didn't expect that it would be so much fun after she came out. Everywhere she went, the local director of the Beast Incarnation Palace would assign tasks to her:
Either escorting the caravan, or killing Jie Xiu, or looking for medicinal herbs, or Mediating disputes, Xiao Yuxue felt that she had made great progress along the way.
But she also knew in her heart that the chiefs of these places were probably instructed by their parents. They said it was because of experience. She didn’t know how many people followed her secretly, but she was content with it. She knew it was because her parents were worried about her. .
But the more this happened, the more she longed for one person and one sword to sweep the world, walk alone with a sword, and enjoy grudges.
Xiao Yuxue also knows in her heart that the less she gets, the more she wants. Those casual cultivators who have to fight for a spiritual stone or a spiritual medicine, many of them are probably envious of themselves. His life was so jealous that he almost went crazy with jealousy.
But she still likes to listen to the story of Canglang Beiyue. In her imagination, this should be a middle-aged man whose wife died, with sword marks on his cheeks and scars all over his body. Each scar is a thrilling story. man.
This is the man!
Go through hardships, strong masculinity.
When she thought of this, Xiao Yuxue felt exhausted, her legs were weak, and her eyes were so full that they seemed to be dripping with water.
The old man Huang at the inn here also knew that the young lady liked this kind of story, so he told her one by one.
There are also many grievances and hatreds added as embellishments.
Mr. Huang was born as a palace servant in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace. Under the guidance of the great elder, he reached the realm of foundation building. When he was old, he came out to establish a family. He was also a famous surname in Huangsha City. He almost looked at Xiao Yuhong , sisters Xiao Yuxue grew up.
In addition to his instinct to please his ancestors, he also has a real affection for Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue. Looking at Xiao Yuxue is like looking at his own little granddaughter, pestering him to listen to stories.
Just listen to stories if you like, it is better than going out and running around.
At this moment, the door of the inn was pushed open, and a young swordsman wearing a cloak walked in from the outside. He was dusty but his face could still be seen to be handsome. If he had washed and rested, he would have dressed up. , he must be a Taoist with excellent appearance.
When Mr. Huang saw this person, he glanced at Xiao Yuxue subconsciously, and Xiao Yuxue quickly lowered her head.
Although she was wearing a mask at this time, it was not necessarily safe. Lao Jiu might not be able to recognize her. She didn't want to go back now.
“Boss, how is the preparation of the Qiling Pill I want?”
“Well, we have already prepared what your distinguished guest wants. The high-quality Qiling Pill, I was supposed to receive 8,400 spiritual stones. Since you are our regular customer, I will accept you 8,000 spiritual stones.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Huang. If anything happens, please let me know.” .”
"Hahaha, that's what I've been waiting for, brother."
Lu Cheng chatted and laughed with Mr. Huang at the inn, then glanced down at the ugly woman who kept her head lowered, and felt that she was a little Familiar, but unsure.
However, there was no murderous intent on the other side. After thinking about it, Lu Cheng let it go and left with the box of Spirit Beast Qi Ling Pill.
This fourth-level elixir may seem inexpensive, but it requires long-term use to achieve significant effects. Therefore, no store will stock too much. Lu Cheng entrusted the familiar Huang Only Mr. Huang from Shacheng can definitely buy a lot.
"Old Huang, why did that pretty boy buy so many Qiling Pills? Also, why do you seem to know him so well?"
"...Little miss, don't you know? This person is Canglang Beiyue!"
When Mr. Huang was serving in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Palace, Xiao Yuhong and Xiao Yuxue were still young, and he had already retired. It has been a hundred years since I came here, and even if I knew that the master had recruited a new disciple, it would be difficult to know who he was.
"Is he the Canglang Beiyue who killed more than a dozen tribulation cultivators in the past two years?" Xiao Yuxue was filled with surprise when she heard this. She really couldn't believe what she heard.
She couldn't help but look blankly towards the door of the inn, but at this time, Lu Cheng had already left, and there was no trace of him anywhere.
Huangsha City, a quiet room in the mansion provided by a businessman who was rescued by him, Lu Cheng was sitting on the futon, practicing his luck and constantly refining the magic power in his body.
In the past two years, under the blood sacrifice magic skills of more than a dozen tribulation cultivators, my own magic power has increased by leaps and bounds, and even the advancement of thousands of miles in a day is not enough to describe it.
In just two years, he has completed at least ten years of normal cultivation accumulation of mana.
This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.
The Great Five Elements Earth Ultimate True Fire has indeed refined all impurities and made the true breath pure and clear, but Lu Cheng can still feel that such a rapid increase in mana has made his human body and energy unified. Faint flaws appear.
“The Great Technique of Seizing Heaven and Transforming Spirits, combined with the Five Elements and Earth Real Fire Foundation Building, can add hundreds of years of practice time, and it can be done quickly step by step. The combination of these two techniques is the foundation building of Heavenly Dao. Even more powerful than ordinary Heavenly Dao foundation building.”
"But the dangers are also hidden in it. If you don't grasp the key points of advance and retreat, you only focus on the growth of mana, and forget about the tempering of your character and the improvement of your Taoism. The hundred years of time you save will be wasted in vain, and it is likely to weaken the Taoist foundation. , creates a bottleneck that cannot be overcome in a lifetime. If you want to resolve it, you must use the Dao to defeat the devil, clearly see yourself, and know where your boundaries are. "
"...And, this method. It is useless in the realm of Ningsha and Refining Gang. The increase in mana by absorbing the true breath of heaven and earth will be terrifying at that time. In the past two years, he has been constantly accepting missions, hunting down people, studying, and refining his own magic power. Lu Cheng has gained a deeper and deeper understanding of the relationship between the heaven-transforming spirit method and his own legal body. This has made the power of his skills more and more profound. It has also been greatly improved.
It can be said that there is no one in this world who has practiced this unique skill better than Lu Cheng, and who has mastered its subtle essence more fully than Lu Cheng. .
"My limit has been reached. Although I am only half a step away from advancing to the late stage of foundation building, taking this half step will slightly damage the foundation, and I won't do it. After I finish, I will take over. Let’s go back to the mountain to deal with the next thing. Two years have passed and I don’t know if my uncle has left seclusion.”
A night of practice, a night of nothing.
The next day, outside Huangsha City, the young Taoist called out the dog demon, knelt down and fed it a few spiritual pills, then touched the dog's head and put a broken fragment on its nose. at. "Find the owner of this breath and tell me where he is."
"Woof woof woof."
After sniffing, the dog demon took up the demon wind and looked around. Go away without a trace.
In the past two years, if it weren't for the innate magical power of this dog demon, Lu Cheng's mission would have been completed and the number of beheadings would have been reduced by at least half.
With this fourth-level dog demon who is good at tracking, as long as the local monks find the slightest clue, Lu Cheng can use this to hunt him down.
"Woof woof woof woof."
About a stick of incense passed, the dog demon returned and barked at Lucheng, leading him in one direction.
“Found it so quickly?”
Such smoothness made Lu Cheng raise his eyebrows slightly. Sometimes even if there were clues, things would not go so smoothly. He would have to summon the dog demon several times before he could successfully track it.
Riding the light of the sword, he headed westward. Under the guidance of the dog demon, after flying thousands of miles away, he finally found a deserted solitary mountain and dry cliff.
This seems to be the end of the world.
Looking to the west from the high altitude of Yujian, you can see the endless cracks in the ground. From the cracks in the ground, a pitch-black storm connects the heaven and the earth, connecting to the sky. Above the sky, there are also dense clouds, silvery white. The lightning flashed back and forth, and the two seemed to form a barrier, shutting the world here.
“It’s as if we are locked here!”
Looking at the land in the far west, the end of heaven and earth, a thought flashed through Lu Cheng's mind. He thought about it for a moment and then put it down. Even if he was really locked up in this world, his small building The basic level monks can't do anything at all. This kind of thing is what the master and uncle need to worry about. It is when the sky falls that there will be tall people to hold it up.
After summoning the dog demon several times, it was determined that the target was among the dry cliffs of the solitary mountain. Lu Cheng looked into the distance with his sword and cursed in his heart:
“The harsh mountainous environment here, there are The layout of the prison-locked flying dragon is completely deserted in all directions. The feeling of being at the end of the road is really a geomantic treasure land used to ambush others.”
Although I feel a little uneasy, the dog demon’s tracking has never gone wrong, not to mention that the robbery cultivator set up the cave here. Not unreasonable.
After Lu Cheng hesitated for a while, he finally used a fourth-level invisibility talisman and applied it to himself, and then he went to the lonely mountain and dry cliff to find out.
Under normal circumstances, no headhunter will use the fourth-level spiritual talisman like this, because even if he can still earn spiritual stones, the income will be greatly reduced, and if one fails, he will lose money.
Although Lu Cheng loves sword fighting, his character is extremely cautious. When he was in the Jiutian World, he would not allow himself to lose. Every time he died in the game, he would do high-intensity fitness. Punishing yourself, after coming to this world, death no longer needs to punish itself for this, but there is no chance of resurrection. Therefore, he is more careful.
Consume the mana of spiritual consciousness and inject the fourth-level invisibility talisman. With the effect of this talisman, Lu Cheng gradually faded away from head to toe and disappeared without a trace in the space.
This kind of invisibility includes Lu Cheng himself, including Jianguang's clothing. Otherwise, if a person becomes invisible, a Taoist robe will fly around the world. Of course, a high-level immortal cultivator will not make such a mistake.
Invisibility is a very terrifying Taoist technique. In the Tongxuan world, there was once a Jindan master named Zhuge Xuan who practiced the fifth-level invisibility technique. He can go anywhere between heaven and earth, and almost no one can. Found its traces.
It's just that because this senior mastered this technique, he seemed to have developed the habit of peeking into other people's private secrets. Later, he offended several high-ranking cultivators, causing heavenly fire to burn mountains and seas. He also used Taoism to seal off a space with a radius of hundreds of miles, and finally broke through. Remove this person's invisibility and kill him.
But what secrets did Senior Zhuge Xuan know, and who were the high cultivators who joined forces to kill him? The entire Tongxuan world is still unknown to this day. Master Chi Shenzi, Huang Longzi The master uncle may know some inside information, but in their daily teaching and chatting with the disciples, they have never revealed this matter. It seems that it is extremely involved.
Uncle Huang Longzi once sighed about this: "Zhuge Xuan, what a pity."
Lu Chengna's hidden form followed the invisible sword light and sneaked into the lonely mountain. In the cliff, the spiritual consciousness was spread extremely cautiously, searching and sweeping, and the mind spread out like flowing water, and when it encountered obstacles, it also brought back feedback.
“Found it!”
This is a cave that is protected by a low-cost defensive formation, and is surrounded by an invisible and qualitative barrier.
Lu Chengyang fired a sword energy from his hand, causing a bat that was hanging upside down on the stone to fly up and pass through the cave boundary. At this moment, Lu Cheng's figure and the sword light coincided. , instantly passing through the defensive formation.
The sensitivity of this formation cannot be too high, otherwise you will only be in trouble.
But as soon as he entered the cave, Lu Cheng realized something was wrong.
“Hahahahaha...”
"Come, Taoist Master, come and drink!"
The laughter and the smell of wine, and the screams of women could be heard faintly. Such a banquet would only happen between monks of the same realm, and looking at this banquet The size of this place means that the owner of this place invites quite a few guests!
Most of the immortal cultivators do not like red tape and prefer to practice quietly and quietly.
The behavior of demonic monks can be eccentric and exaggerated, but encountering such a large-scale banquet still makes Lu Cheng feel a little unreal.
Just the next moment, he faintly heard a familiar name.
"It's fine if Canglang Beiyue doesn't come. If he dares to come, he will definitely die under the boundless power of the ancestor."
"That's right, that's it."
There was a sound of flattery and agreement all around.
Sneak forward and sneak into the inner hall of the cave. During the banquet, I saw a mess in the cave hall, overturned wine jars, naked women, and among a group of monks, mostly in monk robes, there was a black-haired man. An old man wearing a robe but with an old face sat in the center.
His eyes were originally closed, but the moment Lu Cheng saw him, they suddenly opened them, and countless twisted and wailing human faces spread around him.
"Junior, suffer death!"
With one palm strike, no magic weapon was used, but the mighty magic power gathered crashed down, making Lu Cheng understand the opponent's cultivation level in an instant: The old demon in the realm of Ningsha.
Because of the two steps of Ningsha and refining Gang, as long as the true form is tempered completely, the mana will grow thousands of miles day by day, so there are very few Ningsha and Gang refining monks walking around in Tongxuan world.
But Lu Cheng met someone today.
With a flash of golden light, facing the big demonic handprint, Lu Cheng summoned the dog demon without any hesitation. Suddenly, the two collided, and the demonic flames flew everywhere.
