Chapter 131 When I saw him, I was like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the bright moon! (6k)
"A second-level peak demon bird, and a second-level peak sand scorpion..."
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and showed a smile.
"These are all good monster materials! We can't waste them..."
When he was secretly happy in his heart.
Li Zhenqian and Wan Xun were both panicked.
"Fellow Taoist, I will try my best to stop them... You take Junior Brother Li and run away first..."
Wan Xun took a deep breath and took out the sword box.
The nine flying swords flew out in unison, and he wanted to fight with all his strength...
After hearing this, Lin Chen said lightly:
"Run? Why are you running?"
"You guys stop this sand scorpion first and leave the rest of the strange birds to me..."
After saying that, Lin Chen waved his hand. Two flying swords came out.
Actually, he was better at throwing knives, but with the two of them beside him at this time, Lin Chen didn't want to reveal his identity.
Besides... flying swords are enough to deal with these second-level monsters!
Lin Chen was seen stepping on the flying sword, and was surrounded by strong true energy.
The twelve flying swords beside him turned into afterimages. Each sword could almost severely damage or even kill a second-level demon bird.
Lin Chen has only built nine levels of foundation, but the swallowing spirit root and the perfect foundation make Lin Chen's true essence not much worse than the fake elixir.
How can a mere second-order monster bird block his sword!
Whoosh!
As the sword shadow danced wildly, black feathers rained from the sky.
More than a dozen demonic birds may have had their wings cut off and fell on the desert, quickly losing their breath.
“What a skill in spiritual control!”
Wan Xun, who was fighting against the sand scorpion, was surprised.
He is an expert in the use of spiritual control. He can control up to nine flying swords at the same time without losing his position.
He knew clearly that with each additional flying sword, the difficulty of controlling it became more and more difficult.
He thought he couldn't control thirteen flying swords like Lin Chen.
"I am afraid that this Taoist friend's spiritual control skills have reached the state of perfection... I don't know how much effort he has put in!"
Wan Xun sighed softly in his heart and concentrated on dealing with the sand in front of him. scorpion.
On the other side, after Lin Chen killed some of the dozens of monster birds that rushed towards them, they showed no intention of retreating.
"Quack~"
The second-level peak demon bird headed by him wailed.
The remaining fifty or so demon birds spread out and attacked Lin Chen from all directions, their sharp beaks flashing with a frightening light in the sun.
“Hey, this monster bird is quite intelligent. How can he use tactics?”
Lin Chen was slightly surprised.
However, that's all...
Although he has not yet reached the Core Formation Realm, Lin Chen can hardly feel any pressure to deal with these mere second-level monsters.
I saw Lin Chen using his body-protecting essence to easily block the attack of the monster birds.
Then thirteen flying swords danced wildly in the air.
In a moment, another twenty or thirty demon birds were chopped down.
The demon bird at the peak of the Foundation Establishment let out bursts of whine upon seeing this, and then spread its wings and flew high into the sky.
The other demon birds saw this and followed closely.
"Huh? Are you trying to escape?"
Just when Lin Chen was preparing to pursue the victory, those monster birds suddenly stopped.
I saw them standing dozens of feet above Lin Chen's head.
Then it kept vibrating and flapping its wings...
Just when Lin Chen was confused, he suddenly discovered that a strong wind was blowing in the desert.
The violent wind swept countless flying sand, gathering into a vortex.
In the end, it turned into a desert tornado and crashed towards Lin Chen...
“This monster bird actually has bloodline magical powers?”
"It would be interesting to summon a tornado in this desert..."
Lin Chen looked at the tornado in front of him. It was getting closer and closer to him, and the vortex was getting bigger and bigger.
Behind him, Wan Xun broke into a cold sweat, "Fellow Taoist, run!"
How can manpower compete with nature?
Even a monk with perfect Foundation Establishment, facing such a strong wind, cannot fight head-on and can only retreat.
But Lin Chen had no intention of escaping.
He stepped on the flying sword, stood quietly on the spot, and murmured:
"Just in time, try out the newly acquired ability..."
After that, Lin Chen used the power of the candle dragon and took a deep breath.
Then, the energy from the chest and abdomen poured out.
Huhuhu~
As Lin Chen exhaled, a more turbulent wind appeared...
It easily blew away the huge tornado that was dozens of feet high like a tornado. scattered, and then flew straight towards the group of demon birds in the sky...
The yellow sand filled the sky, making it difficult to see clearly...
When the strong wind gradually died down, only a burst of chicken feathers fell in the sky. .
Those second-level monster birds were blown away and fell to the ground.
Even the second-level peak demon bird leader was not spared and fell heavily on him.
Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly stepped forward, his arms exerted force and his muscles trembled...
Vibrate the knife!
With the power of a sword, the corpses of the second-level peak monster birds were separated.
"The candle dragon breathes like the wind..." Lin Chen murmured.
In addition to controlling the power of time and space, Zhu Jiuyin can be said to be the ancestor of the wind and rain.
Why are these monster birds showing off in front of him?
After easily defeating all the demonic birds, Lin Chen looked back at another battlefield.
Li Zhengan stared blankly at Lin Chen in the distance.
His mouth was wide open and he even forgot to arrange the formation.
The battle between Sand Scorpion and Wan Xun continues.
Although Wan Xun has also perfected his foundation building skills, this sand scorpion is obviously more powerful.
Especially the brown scorpion armor and the scorpion tail needles that emit a poisonous green light make people shudder.
After Wan Xun held on for a long time, he still fell into a disadvantage.
"Don't panic, fellow Taoist, I'm here to help you!"
Lin Chen shouted, and then rushed towards Sand Scorpion.
When the Sand Scorpion saw this, there was a humanized look of fear in its eyes.
He saw how those strange birds died just now.
So the scorpion's tail swept across and forced Wanxun back. The sand scorpion fled frantically into the quicksand, trying to get back to the bottom of the desert.
But Lin Chen, would it be as he wished?
Seeing that most of the sand scorpion's body was about to crawl back, Lin Chen had already arrived.
Stretched out his right hand and grabbed the sand scorpion's tail.
“Kick me up!”
With a soft shout, the huge sand scorpion was directly lifted several feet away.
After rolling around in the desert, the sand scorpion's soybean-like eyes flickered a few times.
He is ready to fight!
“Ouch~”
Following a strange cry, the aura of the sand scorpion suddenly intensified.
All the way from the second level peak monster to the early third level.
Lin Chen looked interested when he saw this.
"It seems that the bloodline of the demon beasts in this ruins is quite good! This desert scorpion actually also has bloodline magical powers..."
In the distance, Wan Xun was shocked when he saw this.
He also felt that the aura on Sand Scorpion was probably not weaker than that of the fake elixir realm monk.
So he quickly came to Lin Chen and said:
"Fellow Taoist, you and I will fight against this monster together!"
In his opinion, the two of them might be able to fight against the third-level monster together.
However...
Lin Chen just glanced at him and said:
"No need, I am enough!"
After saying that, Lin Chen rushed forward in two steps and quickly approached the desert scorpion.
Invisible fluctuations flashed across his body, and the power of the candle dragon possessed him again.
Holding a long knife in his hand, it trembled slightly.
Then, slash out with one knife!
Run!
Just a crisp sound was heard, and the Desert Scorpion in front of him still maintained its tail-sweeping posture.
But the look in his eyes has gradually lost...
Then, the huge body was divided into two, and together with the strong scorpion armor, the yellow-green visceral blood moistened the sand. land.
Lin Chen looked at the Desert Scorpion that was cut in half and scratched his head.
“We made a mistake. This scorpion armor was cut in half, and its value has been greatly reduced!”
"Alas..."
After sighing, Lin Chen put the body of the Desert Scorpion out of the nano bag.
He ran and took out the claws and feathers of the demonic birds one by one.
"I'm lucky, the two boss monsters have produced demon pills..." Lin Chen couldn't help but feel happy.
With this move, he made a fortune again.
Not far away, Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian stood side by side.
Looking at Lin Chen who was busy, he didn’t know what to say.
"Senior Brother Wan...Senior Brother Wan? Was that really a third-order monster just now?"
"Well, that aura is unmistakable!"
"Then this Is this fellow Taoist really just a foundation-building monk?”
"It should be... right? The Danjie monks can't enter this ruins..."
Li Zhenqian was silent for a long time after hearing this. He didn't know what to say.
In this Yanlai territory, he is an inner disciple of the Changchun Sect, the largest sect, and a disciple of the four major families.
It can be regarded as a height beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But he also has a target, and that is Lin Chen, whom he regards as his opponent.
He was being pressured at every turn...but at least, he still had the motivation to catch up!
But looking at the mysterious Taoist friend in front of him, Li Zhenqian lost the slightest desire to fight.
Compared to Li Zhenqian, Wan Xun is more deeply aware of the power of this mysterious Taoist friend in front of him!
He is a young banner-carrying disciple of the Changchun Sect.
After decades of hard work, the foundation building is finally complete!
In order to explore the path of Jindan, he resolutely entered this ruins.
He also heard the sect master say that Qingzhou is so big and has so many talented people... Changchun Gate is only a drop in the ocean.
And now, he truly understood this sentence.
"When I look at him, what is the difference between him and the frog at the bottom of the well looking up at the sky?"
......
While the two brothers were doubting their lives, Lin Chen had already happily organized all kinds of animal materials and put them into storage bags.
Then Lin Chen walked up to the two of them and said politely:
"You two fellow Taoists, those beasts... do you accept them with a smile?"
Li Zhen Qian was still immersed in Lin Chen's powerful strength and couldn't extricate himself.
Wanxun has already reacted and said quickly:
"Yes, thank you fellow Taoist for saving my life again!"
"I don't know what my friend's name is? I am Wanxun of the Changchun Sect, and this is my junior brother Li Zhenqian..."
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, cupped his hands and said:
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist from the Changchun Sect... I'm from the Fenglingyue Shadow Sect, Xu Shi!"
The Fenglingyue Shadow Sect?
Wan Xun frowned, he had never heard of this force. But he still nodded and said:
“Thank you, Mr. Xu, for saving my life!”
Wan Xun hesitated for a moment, and then said:
“I have someone here. Please give me love... My fellow Taoist is so powerful, I wonder if we two fellow apprentices can go with you to pass this second test together?”
"Don't worry, fellow Taoists can abandon me and leave at any time when encountering danger..."
After saying that, Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian looked at Lin Chen nervously.
Lin Chen pretended to think about it.
In fact, Lin Chen wanted to help these two people. After all, it was just a convenient move for Lin Chen.
Wan Xun is his comrade who fought alongside him, and Li Zhenqian can be regarded as half of his friend.
There is no reason to say no.
But considering his current status, Lin Chen still pretended to be wrong:
"Fellow Daoist Wan, Fellow Daoist Li... Since we have entered the ruins of Jin Yuanzong, we should be competitors..."
“Before, I couldn’t bear the two of you to die in the mouth of the monster, so I took action.”
“But if I go with you two, I will be equivalent to cultivating a competitor for myself... …”
Wanxun looked disappointed after hearing this, but could not refute.
I could only sigh leisurely: "In that case, thank you fellow Taoist for saving your life... The mountains are high and the road is far away, let's live another day..."
Before Wan Xun could finish his words, Lin Chen's tone changed. Then he said:
"Ahem, but meeting each other is fate!"
"A Taoist friend told me before that it is fate when we go out..."
Lin Chen stretched out his fingers and rubbed them together, making a spiritual stone gesture.
Wan Xun was stunned for a moment, but Li Zhenqian understood it and said quickly:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I wonder how many fates are suitable?"
Lin Chen made a gesture and said :
“One person has ten thousand karma, I think it’s just right... In the second stage of the ruins assessment, I will try my best to protect the lives of the two fellow Taoists...”
After hearing this, Li Zhenqian took out 20,000 spiritual stones and handed them over without saying a word.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, I also paid for my senior brother’s ten thousand yuan!”
Lin Chen took the spirit stone and put it in a storage bag, showing a very wise expression on his face. .
“Tsk, tsk, it seems that after a while, Xiao Lizi’s net worth has increased a lot!”
Lin Chen thought to himself.
However, the Li family and Lin Chen had cooperated for a long time before, and they had made a lot of money.
Now that Li Zhenqian is in the middle stage of foundation building, he can be regarded as the future head of the Li family. It makes sense that he has more spiritual stones.
Li Zhenqian looked at "Xu Shi"'s smile and suddenly thought in his heart: How come this fellow Daoist Xu looks a bit like Lin Chen?
As soon as this thought came up, Li Zhenqian shook his head quickly.
He admitted that Lin Chen was a genius, but he was still far from the "Xu Shi" in front of him.
Wan Xun on the side was even more confused when he saw the expressions on the two people's faces.
“This fellow Taoist Xu is so powerful, but he is also greedy for money? But...how can any cultivator not like spiritual stones?”
Wan Xun thought in his heart:
"Besides, the price of 20,000 spirit stones is really cheap..."
Twenty thousand spirit stones is equivalent to Lin Chen taking them through the second level.
The reward for the first level assessment is just a few Foundation Establishment Pills...
How generous is the reward for the second level?
While Wan Xun was thinking, Lin Chen had already chosen a direction, pointed to the north, and said:
"Two fellow Taoists, I want to go in this direction..."< br>
Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian had no reason to object.
They had gotten lost several times in the desert, so it was best to follow Lin Chen.
So the three of them continued walking in the same direction.
On the way, Li Zhenqian suddenly came up to him and asked:
“Brother Xu, you said before that you were from Fengling Yueying Sect... Do you know Senior Han Laoliu? "
After hearing this, Lin Chen blinked and said with a look of surprise:
"Hey, do you know Brother Six?"
Li Zhenqian nodded and said, "Yes, our Li family and Senior Han have had several transactions..."
Li Zhenqian briefly talked about the previous transactions between the four major families and Han Laoliu.
Lin Chen pretended to just know, nodded and said:
"Fate, it's all fate!"
"Hey, my sixth brother is very powerful, far beyond my ability... If I had his level of strength, I wouldn't try my luck in this ruins..."
After hearing this, Li Zhenqian was heartbroken. There has been an uproar.
He has never seen Han Laoliu's strength.
But this Xu Shi in front of me is an expert at killing third-level monsters with one sword!
The strength is at least equivalent to that of a Golden Elixir monk!
But as far as he said, it was so much worse than Han Laoliu...
Thinking of this, Li Zhenqian took a deep breath in his heart.
"Hey, doesn't that mean that Senior Han is at least a powerful person in the late Golden Core stage? He may even be... the real Yuanying!"
At this moment, Li Zhenqian felt in his heart I thought a lot and kept thinking about it.
"No, I must tell my father the news when I get home..."
...
A group of three people headed north.
Walking in this vast desert.
The goal of the second level of assessment is to get out of this country of black sand.
But it was difficult to tell the direction in the desert, so all Lin Chen could do was to walk in one direction.
As long as this desert is limited, you can always go out in one direction.
So, this journey lasted three days and three nights.
Along the way, Lin Chen encountered many monsters.
But almost all of them were second-level monsters, which were easily killed by Lin Chen and turned into beasts.
Lin Chen even took the initiative to hunt monsters more than once, which made Li Zhenqian and Wan Xun even more stunned.
We have encountered a lot of monsters, but the probability of encountering other monks in this desert is still relatively low.
Until the fourth day.
After climbing over another sand dune, Li Zhenqian raised his head and looked at the green in the distance.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said excitedly:
"Brother Wan, Brother Xu, look... is that an oasis in front of us? Have we walked out of this desert?"
Lin Chen also raised his eyes after hearing this.
The power of the candle dragon gave him vision far beyond that of ordinary people.
Although it was dozens of miles away, Lin Chen could clearly see that it was an oasis.
There is a lake. There are many green plants beside the lake, as well as a dilapidated ruins.
"I haven't left the desert yet... That should be the ruins of the ancient town in the ancient Black Sand Kingdom..."
Lin Chen reminded.
According to what Li Tianhan said before, relics left by ancient monks may be found in the ancient Black Sand Country.
“Let’s go to that oasis!”
“But be careful...there may be threats in this oasis.”
Lin Chen said so said.
He is still very confident in his own strength.
The strength in the middle stage of the pill formation is almost unable to withstand his vibration sword.
This Jin Yuan Sect ruins are obviously for the purpose of selecting suitable people to practice the Three Turns of Jin Yuan Gong. There should not be too strong enemies.
So a group of three people walked towards the oasis.
……
A moment later, by the oasis lake.
Li Zhenqian was stunned when he looked at the large area of medicinal herbs planted by the lake.
"Oh my god! So many medicinal materials...how many are they? Thirty thousand, fifty thousand?"
Lin Chen also came to the shore of the lake and saw a large area of the lake. of elixir.
Almost the entire lake is surrounded by a circle.
With such a quantity, even Lin Chen would be jealous!
He knelt down and verified the age of these medicinal materials...
"Each of these medicinal herbs is at least five thousand years old! Each one is worth thousands of gold! ”
Lin Chen felt a little excited.
So the three of them looked at each other and decided not to leave. They stayed on the shore of the lake and started collecting herbs.
"How do we divide up so many medicinal materials?" Li Zhenqian was still very excited.
Wan Xun glanced at Lin Chen and asked, "How do fellow Taoists think they should be distributed?"
Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "Whoever picks it counts?"
Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian had no objection after hearing this.
In their opinion, Lin Chen is so powerful and willing to distribute the money in such a fair way, it is absolutely the right thing to do.
But...
They soon regretted it.
Collecting herbs is a technical job!
Especially these old elixirs, you can’t buy even one with a hundred spiritual stones!
If you pick it roughly, you will lose most of its medicinal properties, and the gain will outweigh the gain.
Therefore, the true essence can only be used with caution to avoid damaging the medicinal materials.
In terms of experience and speed in picking herbs, ten Li Zhenqian and Wan Xun combined could not match Lin Chen alone...
So, while the two of them were still carefully picking the elixir, .
Lin Chen easily released the wood element and wrapped the medicinal materials.
In a few breaths, dozens of medicinal herbs entered the storage bag without losing any medicinal properties.
In this way, several hours passed.
Lin Chen’s storage bag was already filled with mountains of old elixirs.
Looking at Li Zhenqian and Wan Xun, the two of them combined have not collected a thousand plants.
"Hey, don't blame me for being unkind, but I left some soup for you..."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Then he continued to use his true energy to quickly pick the medicinal materials like a lawnmower.
More than an hour later, most of the medicinal materials were in Lin Chen’s hands.
At this time, Li Zhenqian in the distance suddenly called for help.
"Senior Brother Wan..."
After hearing the voice, Wan Xun looked up and hurried towards Li Zhenqian.
Lin Chen was far away. When he raised his head, he only saw a vine growing and dancing in the air, tightly covering Li Zhenqian's whole body.
After arriving closer, Lin Chen looked at the thumb-thick vines in front of him, with many furry spikes growing on them, and felt they looked familiar.
Looking at Li Zhenqian, who was wrapped in vines, covered in green, with purple lips and unconscious...
"Be careful, this is the sea buckthorn demon... Its thorns are highly poisonous. , even the pill-forming monks can't resist it for long!"
Lin Chen said with a serious face.
He had seen an introduction to this type of demon plant on the fourth floor of the Changchun Gate Sutra Pavilion...
The sea buckthorn demon is a kind of demon plant that poses a very low threat.
Contains trace amounts of toxins and poses almost no threat to monks...
But the premise is that the growth year of this sea buckthorn demon is not high.
And now, looking around within ten feet, what emerged from the soil was a huge sea buckthorn demon.
"This sea-buckthorn demon is probably planted together with this batch of elixirs. It is at least five thousand years old..."
"A sea-buckthorn demon of such an age has long been invulnerable to water and fire, and indestructible to metal and stone... Not to mention The toxins contained in it are probably very terrifying..."
Lin Chen frowned. Facing this sea buckthorn demon, he felt a little troublesome for the first time.
Besides, Wan Xun saw Li Zhenqian who had passed out and was entangled in thorns and vines, and shouted anxiously:
"Junior brother Li, hold on!"
But Li Zhenqian had already passed out, so how could he still reply?
Wan Xun summoned nine flying swords, and for a moment, the sword energy was flowing wildly, and he frantically slashed at the thorns and vines in front of him.
However, every sword energy consumes a lot of Wanxun.
It was very difficult to cut off a few vines.
On the other hand, the Sea Buckthorn Demon is spread over tens of meters in a radius, and there are so many vines and thorns that it is impossible to cut them all.
"It's really a bit tricky. It seems like we have to show our true skills..."
"I hope Li Zhenqian can hold on..." Lin Chen thought silently.
