On the other side, Qingzhou, Momen.
Lu Chaoge doesn't know what happened to the disciples who are still traveling down the mountain.
He could only check the color of their names through the system interface. Once it turned gray, it meant they were hung up, but fortunately, nothing like this happened.
At this moment, it was already dark.
After returning to Momen, Lu Chaoge took some rest and his physical condition recovered a lot.
His injury was almost healed, so he cooked a big meal himself.
Of course, there must be mandarin fish in it that Jiang Xiyan wants to eat.
After she took a sip, her beautiful eyes had a different look.
It was obvious that the mandarin fish cooked by Lu Chaoge was more in line with her taste than the signature dish of Zuixianlou.
After dinner, Jiang Xinyan returned to the bamboo house for meditation.
She is now in the Half-Step Sixth Realm and needs to spend more time on cultivation. Therefore, except for having three meals a day with Lu Chaoge, she spends the rest of her time in seclusion.
As a practitioner of the Body Refining Style, the path of cultivation is inherently difficult. If you finally get a chance to make a breakthrough, you must cherish it.
While Jiang Xinyan was in seclusion, Lu Chaoge rushed into his sister's bamboo house, and the two of them closed the door furtively, their eyes full of eagerness.
Going down the mountain here, Lu Chaoge gained not only experience points and reputation, but also many treasures after unsheathing his natal sword.
Demon cultivators are basically people who burn, kill, and loot. They don't create resources, but they can rob them. They are really bad.
Therefore, demon cultivators who do not get along well are extremely poor. I want elixirs but not elixirs, I want magic weapons but not magic weapons, I want spiritual stones but not spiritual stones. But the good demon cultivators, because they killed a lot and robbed a lot, became extremely rich.
As for the corpses of the alien beasts that were cut in half by Lu Chaoge's sword, they actually had a lot of available resources.
The brother and sister haven't sorted out these things yet.
After Lu Chaoge and Lu Dongli looked at each other, they both rubbed their hands and said, "Let's start!"
The two of them remained in a high state of excitement, and it took them a full hour to sort out these things.
Those that are not used will be sold and exchanged for spiritual stones.
As for the useful ones, they will be put into the inner treasury of Momen and kept by the little housekeeper Polu Dongli.
Lu Dongli was currently sitting cross-legged with her slender legs, her face filled with visible joy.
After all, with Lu Chaoge's order, Momen began to recruit handyman disciples on a large scale.
The small Mo Sect only had one leader, one elder, and less than ten true disciples. The number of servant disciples has exceeded a thousand.
In this way, Lu Chaoge still insisted on continuing to collect.
Judging from the current momentum, at least dozens of people will get started every day.
As for how many people he ultimately wants to accept, Lu Dongli doesn't know. She only knows that Momen's finances are tight.
Although I had previously won a large amount of spiritual stones by relying on Wenjianri, there were too many people, so the expenses would inevitably become larger.
New disciples can't make much contribution to the sect. In the early stage, the sect provides resources. When they grow up, they will become disciples and support the sect.
Fortunately, this problem can be solved perfectly now.
In the process of sorting out resources, Lu Chaoge found something that he was most interested in at the moment.
He actually found a fragment of soul jade inside a storage ring!
"This piece of soul jade is a bit big." Lu Chaoge looked at it carefully and found that this piece was a whole circle larger than the one he obtained before.
I don't know where this demon cultivator got the fragments from, but for Lu Chaoge, it was definitely a good thing to get another soul jade fragment by chance.
"Such a big piece is definitely enough for Heiting to break through to the second level!" Lu Chaoge said.
"Brother is very concerned about the cultivation situation of his disciples recently." Lu Dongli looked at him and said.
In Lu Dongli's eyes, this thing was abnormal.
Because Lu Chaoge is basically a hands-off shopkeeper, including Heiting's practice, he is also guided by Lu Dongli.
As the leader, he rarely cares about the cultivation progress of his disciples.
With Lu Chaoge's temperament, he must feel that he can take the entire sect flying by himself. If they develop, it will be even more powerful. If they cannot develop, I will still be a tiger descending from the mountain.
Tiger is done!
"It should be, it should be." Lu Chaoge laughed.
As long as Heiting can break through to the second level, Momen will meet all the conditions for an eighth-grade sect.
At that time, Lu Chaoge will receive a reward of 200,000 experience points and 1 point of [Swordsmanship Qualification]!
For him who now has a lot of money and experience, 200,000 is not much. However, [Swordsmanship Qualification] is absolutely urgently needed.
With this [Swordsmanship Qualification], his sword-related attributes can be increased by 10%, and he can use the [Sword Intent Upgrade Coupon] immediately.
The fourth level of sword intent feels fierce just thinking about it.
So far, every step he has taken has been solid, which means that his overall strength will become more terrifying in the later stages.
"I'm leaving first." Lu Chaoge stood up and prepared to leave Lu Dongli's house.
"Brother, won't you sit down for a while?" Lu Dongli raised her head and asked.
"No, no." Lu Chaoge directly rejected his sister's offer to stay and walked out happily.
After walking out of the house, he was stunned.
"By the way...where is this guy Heiting now?"
Heiting is like a ghost, like a transparent person, with a very low sense of existence, and it is extremely difficult for even the consciousness to detect him.
Lu Chaoge spent a lot of energy to find his only disciple, and then threw the soul jade fragment in his hand to him.
"Go into seclusion, hurry up." Lu Chaoge said to Heiting.
Heiting lowered his head and glanced at the soul jade fragments, thinking that the master had found them specially for him when he came down the mountain this time, and he was still a little touched in his heart.
He nodded, his eyes resolute, and he resolutely devoted himself to breaking through the situation.
As for Lu Chaoge, he did not leave, but protected Heiting.
After all, the soul jade is too evil. Although Heiting seems to have a special physique, he can perfectly absorb the power in the soul jade and strengthen himself. But Lu Chaoge still didn't trust him to absorb it alone, always feeling that something might happen easily.
Especially when he absorbed the soul jade fragments last time, Heiting saw a black ocean covered in ice, and there were countless voices under the ocean that seemed to say the word "wake up". It felt weird when he thought about it.
But it can also be seen that the Black Pavilion may really be an extremely critical link in the main plot mission [Sword of Hades] in Qingzhou.
It is precisely because of this that the system gives a prompt and tacitly allows Heiting to absorb the soul jade fragments.
Lu Chaoge looked at Heiting and felt that his presence was getting lower and lower.
He had actually been using his spiritual consciousness, and he found that with the continuous absorption of soul jade, Heiting was able to escape the detection of his spiritual consciousness better than before.
For several moments, when Lu Chaoge was not concentrating, his consciousness could hardly notice him!
You must know that Lu Chaoge still has a bit of [spiritual consciousness]. His spiritual consciousness is actually relatively strong among practitioners of the same realm.
In addition, his natal magical power [Heart Sword] also strengthens his spiritual consciousness. It is already terrible for such a situation to occur.
"This kid is a born assassin!" Lu Chaoge sighed in his heart.
Of course, he thought he was too.
Anyway, as long as everyone is killed, it will be considered a perfect stealth.
As a master, he decided to let Heiting try to develop in this area.
This ghostly man may one day truly become a ghost in the night!
Heiting's absorption of soul jade is very efficient.
It made it seem like this thing was originally a part of his body, and once used, it was directly integrated into his body.
Lu Chaoge saw that not long after he absorbed it, his cultivation level began to rise continuously, and in the blink of an eye he reached the first level of the ninth level.
"It's a bit like the legendary drug-taking upgrade stream." Lu Chaoge thought.
At this moment, what he is most concerned about is whether there will be a bottleneck in Heiting's ability to break through by absorbing soul jade
Like Lu Chaoge, who uses experience points to upgrade, there is also a bottleneck, and that is the promotion task.
For many players, promotion tasks are a headache.
Because many players will tiptoe to receive promotion tasks that are slightly beyond their capabilities.
People are always greedy.
In this way, it will be a bit difficult to do.
Not everyone can directly receive the most difficult orange level like Lu Chaoge, and also complete it efficiently.
Half an hour passed like this, and Heiting's cultivation finally reached the first level of Dzogchen.
Lu Chaoge raised his eyebrows. He clearly felt that the soul jade being absorbed by Heiting shrank by a large margin in an instant.
"This is going to take a lot of effort to create a miracle!" Lu Chaoge was slightly surprised.
Judging from the current momentum, it is necessary to force a breakthrough.
With the powerful power brought by the soul jade, he pushed forward directly and forced the bottleneck open!
And just like last time, the shadow of the Black Pavilion continued to lengthen under the candlelight. The shadow was ferocious and terrifying, as if there were countless ghost faces trying to break through the shackles of the shadow, spreading and struggling around, but they could never escape.
In the shadow, these ghost faces seemed to be burned by black will-o'-wisps, while Heiting's face remained as usual, and his breath was long, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep again.
But at this moment, he suddenly frowned and let out a muffled groan, as if his whole body had been hit hard.
Obviously, this forced break may have brought him pain and suffering.
But fortunately, the shadows did not appear strange, and those ghost faces were still imprisoned and then burned.
From this point of view, it should be just the inevitable price to pay when breaking the bottleneck.
Lu Chaoge looked at Heiting, just like when Heiting was brought back to the mountain by him, he had nightmares about the half-blind old man at night, and then woke up, and said: "I'm here."
I don't know whether he became more at ease after hearing the master's voice, or whether the process of breaking through the bottleneck has passed quietly, and Heiting's state has returned to its previous calm state.
And his aura has officially risen to the second level!
The experience value rewards brought by the [Master-Apprentice Function] were immediately received. The most important thing was that Lu Chaoge finally heard the pleasant system prompt sound in his ears.
"[Ding! The second phase of your sect's main mission - to strengthen Momen has been completed!]"
"[Momen has met the qualifications for promotion, do you want to advance?]"
Lu Chaoge took a deep breath and chose [Promotion] without even thinking about it!
The next moment, at the same time, all Momen players received a prompt message.
"[The sect you are in, Mo Sect, has been successfully promoted!]"
(ps: Second update, please vote for me.
In addition, let me tell you something, this book may be renamed in the next two days, because the current title is not particularly suitable for promotion. The new title was chosen by my female editor. I specially thought of a very interesting title for this book. Please look forward to the introduction~
Finally, today is the beginning of spring, and I am typing words amidst the sound of firecrackers, wishing everyone good health. )
