"Boom—" a loud noise resounded in a forest. I saw that the trees within a radius of ten miles were reduced to debris. Immediately, sawdust fluttered all over the sky, which was very spectacular.
And above the destroyed forest, two people were talking about something. One of them was standing with a sword in his hand, wearing a blue shirt; while the other was a thin middle-aged man standing in the air, wearing a fluttering white dress. These two people are naturally Lu Yu and Xia Lao who have stayed in Wufu Mountain for more than two months.
"The power of this Ten Thousand Swords Jue is astonishing. I have only practiced the first level of "Dragon Snake Jue", and I can destroy a forest in a radius of ten miles." Lu Yu looked at the woods still full of sawdust in amazement, and felt a sense of emotion. road.
"With such a mere power, you're just like this. You're really useless." Elder Xia sarcastically said.
"What is this kind of power? I have watched the competition between two senior swordsmen from the tenth floor. The power is not as great as my sword art?" Lu Yu said unconvinced. The first time he used the sword formula, he was mercilessly beaten by Xia Lao.
"You boy, don't be dissatisfied. You have seven swords attacking at the same time, and the seven swords are all top-ranked. With the help of sword art, you can only exert such a little power. You are ashamed to be complacent." He understands martial arts, but with his age of tens of thousands of years, his vision is quite vicious.
"That's because I have just cultivated and am not proficient. After I get familiar with it a few times, the power will definitely be stronger than it is now. At that time, it is estimated that the tenth floor of the swordsman will not be my opponent." Lu Yu said confidently.
"It's really worthless. Why didn't you think that if you encounter an enemy in the sword spirit realm, what should you do?" Xia Lao raised the bar.
"I've thought about this a long time ago. If I meet a sword spirit master, I will use the Blood River Sword and the six Scarlet Blood Swords to attack." Lu Yu replied confidently.
Speaking of the Blood River Sword, Lu Yu still has lingering fears. At that time, as soon as the Blood River Sword was refined, he ran to test it impatiently. I never thought that after injecting mana and slashing down with a sword, it would be so powerful that a large area of trees would be chopped off by the waist. One must know that this cut, without using any sword tactics, can cause such great power. However, such a great power also has to pay a considerable price. To cast the Blood River Sword, not only mana is needed, but also blood essence.
In this way, with Lu Yu's sword, Xuehe Sword almost sucked one-third of his blood essence. After the next month, he could only take some vitality-replenishing pills and meditate to recover the lost vitality.
"Blood River Sword! Do you want to meditate for another month to recover your vitality? I remember that you have already used up all your vital energy-replenishing pills." Elder Xia reminded.
"Hey... It seems that these pills should be bought more. It's a pity that this ring doesn't have the miraculous effect of improving the success rate of alchemy.
"Lu Yu smiled wryly.
"Just be content, it's the same with exchanging weapons for pills. I advise you to stop thinking about alchemy as soon as possible. Your talent for alchemy is really bad." Elder Xia said bluntly.
"This... I still have self-knowledge." Lu Yu said depressingly.
It turned out that some time ago, when I was practicing hard in the refining room. Lu Yu felt that the pill was too expensive to buy like this. If you can refine it yourself, you can save a lot of money. He asked Jin Xinxin to buy him a set of high-quality alchemy equipment, and started his journey of alchemy. However, something tragic happened. He first refined a hundred batches of the lowest-level elixir for restoring vitality. As a result, only one batch was successful. Lu Yu did not give up because of a hundred failures. And repeated countless times. As a result, the success rate dropped from one percent to one thousandth. Even if Lu Yu didn't hit the south wall with his unyielding stubborn temper, he still chose to give up on the obvious dead end. Because of this incident, Mr. Xia almost every now and then will take it out to ridicule him.
"Boy Lu, even if you use the Blood River Sword, you are no match for Sword Spirit." Elder Xia continued.
"I have the Blood River Sword and the other six swords. If I use the Dragon Snake Art with all my strength, even the sword spirit will be seriously injured." Lu Yu said confidently.
"I completely believe that. However, the sword spirit can block a blow and be seriously injured. But can you catch the blow of the sword spirit?" Old Xia said with a half-smile.
"This..." Lu Yu felt a little depressed after hearing this. I don't have the strength to refine armor yet. As for buying, there are not so many spirit stones.
"What's this... Let's go to the ghost domain gate to sell things first, and then think about these things." Xia Lao laughed.
"It's time to leave now. But before I leave, I have to burn the shopkeeper's cave this week." Lu Yu said lightly, looking in the direction of Wufu Mountain.
The ghost domain gate is the strongest among the four gates of the demonic way, and it is also recognized as the first gate of the demonic way. The Fangshi of Ghost Domain Gate is located in a canyon surrounded by continuous mountains. Because the ghost domain gate's square city is relatively large and its geographical location is relatively good, monks from all over the world often come here to exchange supplies. Therefore, the ghost domain gate is a checkpoint set up at the entrance and exit of the canyon. They sent a small team of disciples to collect tolls here, and the price is not high, just a low-grade spirit stone.
One day at noon, the weather was hot, and two disciples of the Ghost Realm Sect were leaning against the wall of the checkpoint, chatting listlessly.
"This damn weather, why is it so hot!" said a disciple of the Ghost Realm Sect in blue.
"We are all cultivators. How can we care about the hot weather?" Another disciple in purple laughed.
"Cultivation ass, we are all young people on the first level of swordsmen. Otherwise, why would we be sent here to watch the door. Besides, those people are either hiding in the house or practicing in the cave every day. How can they feel It's hot." The blue-clothed disciple said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey - that's right, who told us that our talents are too low, so we can only watch the gate. However, it's a bit tricky to watch the gate here. As long as anyone doesn't like it, he will be charged double the toll fee." The purple-clothed disciple He is quite good at having fun while suffering, he comforted himself.
"That's true. I've already saved more than ten spirit stones." The blue-clothed disciple burst into joy when he mentioned spirit stones.
"Tsk tsk, that's all. I'm over thirty now." The purple disciple said proudly.
"Is more than thirty a lot? Before, the old Wang who was watching the door had saved up a hundred spirit stones. However, because he misread it once, he had to charge more tolls for Senior Sword Spirit. Now..." the blue-clothed disciple Made a beheading motion.
"That's true. But, how could anyone come to Fangshi in such a hot day." The disciple in purple thought deeply.
When the two were talking, a black light flashed in the sky and landed in front of the two in an instant, startling them.
"I'm scared to death, what are you doing?" The purple-clothed disciple looked at the newcomer and scolded.
The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, with a bamboo hat on his head, which covered his entire face, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"Presumptuous." An old voice came from the mouth of the black robe, and then walked up to the disciple in purple. With a backhand, he slapped the disciple in purple. This slap was so powerful that the purple clothed disciple slapped him several times on the spot.
"You..." The purple disciple covered his face, just about to speak harshly. He was stopped by the disciple in blue, and his eyes signaled him not to mess around.
The blue robe stepped forward, and the attacker bowed to the purple robed man, and said respectfully, "I don't know your honorable name."
"You don't need to know the old man's name. The old man is going to do some business in Fangshi now. You can take this spirit stone." The black-robed man casually threw a spirit stone.
The moment the black-robed man threw the spirit stone, the blue-clothed disciple suddenly felt a bloody aura rushing towards him, and quickly took two steps back before catching the spirit stone.
The blue-clothed disciple's heart tightened, his face became even more respectful, and he said flatteringly: "I don't know what you always want to do. The little one is willing to do my best for you."
The man in black glanced at the disciple in blue, and said calmly, "I want to buy some soul stones and sell some things. I don't know if there is a suitable shop in the market."
The blue-clothed disciple said coquettishly, "You can always go to Feiyu Building. That store is the largest in the city. It's right in the center of the city. The soul stones you want to buy and the things you sell are the best for that store."
"Feiyulou. The old man knows, this is a reward for you." After finishing speaking, the man in black threw another spirit stone to the disciple in blue.
"Thank you, senior, for your reward, please go slowly!" The disciple in blue bowed and saluted.
The man in black didn't say much, and strode into the market.
"Who is this man? Why are you being so polite to him?" The purple-clothed disciple was already full of doubts, but he was slapped by the black-robed man just now. Later, seeing the blue-clothed disciple being so polite to the black-robed man, he knew that he might be in big trouble.
"I don't know. However, this person must be a senior sword spirit. The aura emitted by him when he threw the spirit stone is almost the same as that emitted by the elders I met before." The blue-clothed disciple also said with some fear.
This man in black robe is naturally Lu Yu. A month ago, he left Wufu Mountain and went straight to Huangmenfang City. Although Lianhefang City was opened with three sects and four gates. However, this does not mean that good and evil can coexist peacefully.
In fact, righteousness and evil are already in a state of opposition. Therefore, Lu Yu had no choice but to disguise himself and come to Huangquanmenfang City. Because he has practiced the breath restraining technique, the breath emitted from his body can be contracted in the body. However, to enter Fangshi, one must pass the positive and evil test to prevent hostile people from sneaking in.
That's why Lu Yu came up with the idea of pretending to be an expert and barging in unreasonably. As for the magic aura emanating from the throwing stone, it was naturally released by the Blood River Sword. The aura released by the power of the Blood River Sword may be slightly weaker than that of the sword spirit, but Lu Yu has already incorporated all the diamond spirit stones he obtained before into it. The power of the current Blood River Sword is truly at the level of a sword spirit.
"Boy Lu, I didn't expect that you and I would perform very well in the oboe." Elder Xia's voice came from my ears.
"That's right! When I'm going to buy something later, I have to rely on this trick to avoid being found out about my true identity." Lu Yu also said via voice transmission.
Lu Yu walked along the street and quickly found the Feiyu Building that the disciple in blue was talking about. Feiyu Building is a small three-story wooden building, which doesn't look particularly majestic, but the Feiyu Building is not connected to the surrounding shops. Instead, it stands independently in the center of Fangshi.
After Lu Yu looked at it for a while, he walked in. After entering, there were quite a lot of people inside. In the lobby on the first floor, there were more than 20 customers and five or six people dressed as shop assistants, and an old man dressed as a shopkeeper was sitting in the middle. Lu Yu walked in, and immediately a sharp-eyed waiter saw Lu Yu and hurried up to greet him.
"Senior, I don't know what you want to buy? Our Feiyu Building has everything, such as armor, swords, magic weapons, spirit treasures, pills, and materials." The man asked very skillfully.
Lu Yu looked at this guy with some surprise. This guy was just a mortal, and all the shop assistants including the shopkeeper were mortal. This is quite rare in the world of cultivating immortals. The clerk in such a big shop is actually a mortal.
"Are you mortals? Isn't your store afraid of people making trouble here?" Lu Yu asked with some interest.
"Senior may not know, but our Feiyu Building is operated by the four major magic sects, and no one would dare to come here to make trouble." Apparently, this was not the first time the man answered this question.
"I want to buy some soul stones." Lu Yu said lightly.
"Soul stone! This is a big deal. Small ones can't be the masters. Please wait a moment, senior. I'll take you to the second floor to meet the person in charge today." The man said with a smile on his face.
"Okay. You lead the way." Lu Yu said lightly.
The assistant led Lu Yu along the stairs to the second floor of Feiyu Building. The layout of this second floor is not like a hall on the first floor, but has individual rooms, just like an inn.
The clerk led Lu Yu into a room, and said: "Please wait a moment, I'll go and invite the person in charge to come over." After speaking, he left the room.
Lu Yu looked at this small room carefully. There was no bed in this room, but a large round table made of marble was placed in the middle of the room. There were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Porcelain vase. After a while, a maid came to serve tea.
Lu Yu poured himself a cup of tea, put it in his mouth and sipped it. As soon as he drank the tea, there was a burst of fragrance, and he could faintly feel a slight increase in his mana.
"Huh? This tea can increase mana." Lu Yu whispered to himself.
"Silly boy, this is spiritual tea, it can naturally increase mana." Xia Lao said via voice transmission.
"Spirit tea?" Lu Yu just wanted to ask something more.
The door "squeaked—" was pushed open, and an old man with white hair came in from the outside. When the white-haired old man saw Lu Yu, he looked intently and found that there was no way to see Lu Yu's cultivation. In this case, one is that the other party's cultivation base is at least one realm higher than your own, and the other party deliberately hides it, so of course you can't see it. The second is that the opponent has practiced a technique to hide his cultivation or has a special treasure on his body that can hide his cultivation. No matter what it is, since the other party wants to hide his cultivation, he can only pretend that he cannot see it.
Lu Yu also looked at the old man's cultivation, and took a deep breath in his heart. I didn't expect that there are mortals below, and any person in charge above is a swordsman with tenth level Dzogchen cultivation base.
"Old Zhu Yutian, I don't know how to call you?" the old man said.
"My surname is Lu." Lu Yu said lightly.
"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Lu. I heard from the staff below that Fellow Daoist Lu needs some soul stones. I wonder how many?" The old man surnamed Zhu said with a smile.
"Well... a thousand." Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then said calmly.
"Ah! Fellow Daoist Lu wants so much?" The old man surnamed Zhu was full of surprise. He thought it was just an ordinary business, but he didn't expect it to be a big deal.
"Don't you have any in your store?" Lu Yu asked.
"Yes, but it needs to be transferred, and it will take at least an hour." The old man surnamed Zhu said.
"That's good, then hurry up and transfer the goods." Lu Yu said.
"Okay, this old man will ask someone to do it. But before that..." The old man surnamed Zhu looked at Lu Yu with some hesitation.
Lu Yu naturally understood what the other party meant. He was afraid that he would not have the money to pay. After all, it was a large sum.
"How many spirit stones." Lu Yu said lightly.
"One soul stone and three medium-grade spirit stones." The old man surnamed Zhu blurted out.
"I don't have many spirit stones. I don't know how many red blood swords you bought here?" Lu Yu said lightly.
"The Scarlet Blood Sword has fifty middle-grade spirit stones each." The old man surnamed Zhu replied without thinking.
Lu Yu clicked in the storage bag. Handed a storage bag containing a hundred red blood swords to the old man surnamed Zhu. When the old man surnamed Zhu saw the number of Scarlet Blood Swords inside, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
"You can exchange the extra money for Lingshi and give it to me." Lu Yu was still very calm.
"Okay...ok..." The old man surnamed Zhu stuttered a bit. Now he can fully believe that this person must be a master above the sword spirit realm, and a very rich master.
The old man surnamed Zhu took the storage bag and went to work in a hurry. Lu Yu sat leisurely on the chair and continued to sip tea.
"Boy Lu, you sell so many things at once. Are you afraid of accidents?" Lao Xia said through voice transmission.
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, I'm leaving here soon. It's hard to come here. I'll sell it if I can. If I'm targeted, I'll be targeted. I'll go back to Yujianzong soon. It's better than going to the United It’s okay to sell things in Fangshi.” Lu Yu said lightly with an indifferent look.
Two hours later, Lu Yu Yujian left Fangshi and flew straight towards Yujianzong.
An hour after Lu Yu left, a man in black with a strange face came to Feiyu Tower.
Among the three floors of Feiyu Building. The strange man sat on the front seat, and four or five gray-haired old men stood in front of him.
"What have you gained this month?" the strange man said to the five people, playing with a dagger in his hand.
"My lord, Chief Deacon, I have received a total of five Scarlet Blood Swords and thirty bottles of Returning Yuan Pills this month." An old man replied.
"My lord, I received three spirit treasures this month." Another old man replied.
"My lord, I just received a hundred red blood swords." The old man surnamed Zhu who had received him before said proudly. Everyone else looked at him with envious eyes, it seems that they also knew the news a long time ago.
"One hundred handles? Just received it?" The strange man stopped his hands, looked at the old man surnamed Zhu, and said calmly.
"Yes, just an hour ago. This person just left." The old man surnamed Zhu replied honestly.
"Oh, show me the things." The bewitching man asked with some interest.
The old man surnamed Zhu quickly handed over the storage bag. The strange man took out a Scarlet Blood Sword from the storage bag, inspected it carefully, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said in a low voice, "It smells so familiar. Where have I seen it before?"
The strange man fell into contemplation, and the people below didn't even dare to breathe out, for fear of disturbing the evil star, their lives would be lost. The name of this strange man is Zhou Ping, he is the only son of Zhou Yunfei, the head of the Five Poison Sect, and he just advanced to the sword spirit realm five years ago. This person is vicious, has a weird temperament, and is vicious by nature. There was once a person in charge who just sneezed while reporting, and he chopped off his nose.
"It's him!" Zhou Ping stood up abruptly from his seat. Afterwards, Kong Kong grabbed and brought the old man surnamed Zhu to him. The old man surnamed Zhu was so frightened, oh my god, how could he get into trouble with this evil star.
"Where did this person go? What does he look like?" Zhou Ping said sadly.
"He... he walked south. I personally sent him out of the city gate. As for what he looks like, I don't know. He has been wearing a black hat, so he can't see his appearance. However, this person's voice is very old, he should be an old man Lord Chief Deacon, please forgive me..." The old man surnamed Zhu was so frightened that he peed on his pants.
"Trash, I can't even see his face clearly. What's the use of keeping you?" Zhou Ping's illusory five fingers grasped vigorously, and suddenly a black air enveloped the old man surnamed Zhu inside.
"Ah-ah-spare me! My lord, please spare my life." The old man surnamed Zhu kept rolling in the black mist, in great pain. The rest of the people were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
But Zhou Ping whispered to himself: "It's been two years. Now, you have appeared again. This time, you will not be so lucky. You ant..." After finishing speaking, Zhou Ping flew away from the third floor of Feiyu Building Go out and gallop towards the south.
On the third floor of Feiyu Building, the old man surnamed Zhu who was rolling on the ground stopped shouting. It wasn't until the rest of the people went up to check that the old man surnamed Zhu had already bled from his seven orifices and had been dead for a long time...
