I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

  Chapter 137 Miemen Massacre (Joint Chapter)

   "Lu is painting amulets in Wuqi Mountain, and he can't get away for a while, can you trouble Zheng Daoyou to run errands..."

   With this kind of fierce and rude person, Lu Changan spoke directly.

  He needs Zheng Centipede to go to Huanglong Xiancheng regularly to help him purchase high-grade materials, and at the same time bring back the front-line intelligence.

   In this way, Lu Changan can sleep peacefully in Wuqi Mountain in the rear, gain insight into the situation, and enjoy the benefits of the beast horde.

  Lu Changan paid with a second-level talisman, and hinted that through a special channel, there is a chance to get a broken-level elixir in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

  For Zheng Centipede's family, every extra second-order talisman, even if it is low-grade, is a rare heritage.

  As for the elixir of breaking ranks, ordinary foundation building is hard to expect.

   "It's an honor for Jeong."

   Centipede Zheng got up and bowed solemnly.

  Lu Changan no matter his cultivation level, reputation, or his skills and connections, made him yearn for and be in awe of.

  Lu Changan can deal with the Zhou family on an equal footing. And in the eyes of the Zhou family, it is rare for him to even have the qualifications to have a normal conversation.

   Zheng Centipede deliberately sought out Lu Changan for a deal this time, not only because of the high quality of the other party's talisman, but also to deepen the relationship.

  Lu Changan's proposal, to him, can be said to be a pillow for dozing off.

  The two discussed some details.

   Centipede Zheng left with a sum of spirit stones given by Lu Changan.

  …

   After a period of time, Lu Changan spent a lot of time drawing talismans.

  There are too many materials, so we can only choose the best ones.

  Each talisman teacher has limited energy in a day, and there is a certain number of talismans that can be drawn. This does not include the time spent on practicing exercises and comprehending spells.

  If drawing a talisman that exceeds the standard, it will lead to mental exhaustion, and it may even take several days to recover.

  Other skills such as alchemy and weapon refining are the same.

   This is also why, when the beast tide breaks out and there is no shortage of materials, the supply of combat equipment will be in short supply.

  Lu Changan practiced Changqing Kungfu, with long energy channels and strong recovery power. This aspect has advantages, but it also has constraints.

   In the past two months, the number of monks who came to Xiaoguifeng to buy talismans increased sharply, and the sales volume skyrocketed.

  Most of these monks came from surrounding families, fangshi, and traveling merchants. The talismans bought from Lu Changan are taken to the front line, and there is still a small profit to be made.

   The Tier 1 puppets that were originally sold as a bundle were sold out ahead of schedule.

   It takes more time to create a puppet, and Lu Changan is too lazy to add it.

   Before he knew it, Lu Changan made tens of thousands of spirit stones by selling talismans during the beast tide.

  This is not counting the materials and high-quality talismans he hoarded.

   "Enough is enough."

  Lu Changan reduced shipments on the grounds that the reserves were exhausted.

  Actually, without Lu Changan deliberately restricting it, as more wandering monsters came to the rear to wreak havoc, most of the surrounding monks retreated to the spiritual vein station.

  Precisely to prevent this situation, the monks in the surrounding area will purchase resources for combat readiness in advance.

  Wu Qishan's popularity has fallen off a cliff, and occasionally he has to clean up sporadic invading monsters.

  …

   On this day, Centipede Zheng returned from Huanglong Immortal City, bringing with him the materials for the second-order mid-to-high-grade talismans.

  In the past, it was difficult to buy through normal channels.

   There is also intelligence related to the front line.

   "The beast tide has entered the second half, and the situation on the front line is at a stalemate. Thousands of monks were killed or injured in Huanglong Xiancheng. In order to avoid losses, some monsters were deliberately attracted to the rear..."

   "One more thing, it has nothing to do with the frontline beast tide."

   Zheng Centipede thought for a while and added.

   "In the 'Fox Valley' near Wuqi Mountain, a massacre happened recently. A couple who established the foundation, dozens of monks including several children, were robbed and all died tragically."

   "Fox Valley?"

  The tragedy mentioned by Centipede Zheng attracted Lu Changan's attention.

  Fox Valley, five or six hundred miles away from Wuqi Mountain, is a second-order high-grade spiritual vein.

  Back then, when Lu Changan inspected the Lingmai Dojo, he had considered Fox Valley, but because the rental price was too high, the top-grade Lingmai would be a waste to him, so he gave up.

  In recent years, the owner of Fox Valley has been leased by a foundation-building couple who lived in the palace of fire.

  The Foundation Establishment couple both have skills, they are the second-level high-grade craftsmen and the second-level middle-grade musicians.

   "Zheng doesn't know much about the details of the extermination of the Fox Valley. It is rumored that someone broke through from the inside. The shooter is suspected to be a secret gang of robbery cultivators, including several foundation-building monks."

   Zheng Centipede explained all the information he knew.

   "Breakthrough from within?"

  Lu Changan's eyes flashed.

  During the beast tide, there were not a few Jiexiu and sinister people who fished in troubled waters.

  But when Fox Valley was destroyed, the situation was different.

  The Foundation Establishment couple in Lihuo Palace are in the middle and late stage of Foundation Establishment. They are stronger than casual cultivators of the same level, and they are worth a lot of money.

  Combined with the background of Lihuo Palace, Waiting for Xian Jiexiu didn't dare to get their ideas, and he didn't have the ability to mix in it.

   "By the way, the information about 'Kong Mao' has made progress this time."

  Lu Changan asked.

   Zheng Centipede brought back information for the second time.

   "No, Kong Mao hunted monsters a few months ago and disappeared. At least in Huanglong Fairy City, there is no new news so far."

   Zheng Centipede replied.

  During the beast tide, this kind of situation of going out to hunt monsters and not coming back happened from time to time, and it was basically useless.

   "There is no need to pay attention to this person's information."

  Lu Changan sighed inwardly, and had already analyzed the general outline of the matter.

  Fox Valley and Wuqi Mountain have one thing in common:

  The headed monks are all craftsmen with rich net worth.

  If you want to say, which one is easier to start, the risk is smaller.

   That must be Wu Qishan.

  The foundation-building couple of Fox Valley Pension have a stronger background and are monks from Lihuo Palace.

   "'Kong Mao' tried to infiltrate Wuqi Mountain, but failed."

   "Later, I strengthened the formation and guard against it, which may have dissuaded people from thinking about it, thus shifting the target."

  If Lu Changan's speculation is correct, Fox Valley can be regarded as the "catastrophe" for Wu Qishan.

  A year ago, when selecting the peak master.

  If he hadn't integrated the second imprint of the Nine Seal Monument with his mind, and probed with the human-level sensory senses, it would be impossible to see that Kong Mao had hidden his cultivation.

  …

   After Centipede Zheng left.

  Lu Changan sent a sound transmission talisman to Xiao Danfeng, inviting Ye Fei to come over and tell the news of the massacre in Fox Valley.

  Relevant speculation about Kong Mao was not mentioned.

   After Ye Fei listened, the soles of his feet felt cold.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu asked Fairy Shi to strengthen the security of the formation a year ago, and he had the foresight."

  He said happily.

   "Fortunately, this group of terrifying robbery repair gangs, who committed this case, will definitely be wanted by the 'Lihuo Palace'. They dare not stay around, at least they will lie dormant for a while."

   "Having said that, precautions must be taken."

  Lu Changan agrees with this point of view.

  However, during the beast tide, the energy of the major forces was involved, and it was inevitable that there would be some small-timers who took advantage of the fire to loot.

  …

   A few days later.

  Wu Qishan is facing a little trouble.

  A group of small-scale monsters came through the "gap" in the front line and launched an attack on this spiritual vein station.

  The leading monster is a six to seven feet long, majestic monster lion with two heads.

  Two huge heads, one erupts purple flames, and the other spews beams of freezing air.

   "Two-headed monster lion! A monster beast in the middle of the second rank, the top monster beast in the top-rank bloodline."

  On Xiaodan Peak, Ye Fei showed a serious expression, and activated the mountain protection formation.

  The strength of the two-headed demon lion is much stronger than that of the ordinary mid-stage foundation establishment.

   There are nearly a hundred monsters in the middle and late stages of the first level, which entered Wuqi Mountain.

  In addition to the three main peaks of Mount Wuqi, there are also a group of casual cultivators attached to the main peaks, including the housekeeper Lan Lin.

  The attached loose cultivators built two formation strongholds, which were attacked by some groups of monsters.

Roar!

  The two-headed demon lion roared in horror, and chose to attack Xiaopanfeng, which was empty of defense.

  Most of the group of monsters also attacked Xiaopan Peak together.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu."

  Ye Fei and Lu Changan flew to the sky and communicated briefly.

   "Although there is no one guarding Xiaopan Peak, the formation laid by Fairy Shi is very strong and cannot be broken for a while. Let's clean up the scattered monsters around first." Lu Changan suggested.

"good!"

  Ye Fei stepped on the light, and first killed the scattered monsters near Xiaodan Peak.

   Phew! Chi Chi!

  He controls a set of high-grade magic weapon needle-shaped magic weapon, with sixteen light gray needle lights, passing over those monsters in the middle and late stages of the first order.

  The needle-shaped magic weapon contains huge poison, and the monster beast in the late stage of the first order seals its throat with blood, and its lethality is amazing.

   "You Daoist Ye, save some spare energy. A mid-level second-level monster cannot threaten Wu Qishan."

  Lu Changan reminded.

   Their rear spiritual vein station is rarely attacked by monsters.

  The real threat is the monks of the same family who take advantage of others' danger.

   Squeak!

  A strong and vigorous orange-purple mouse demon emerged from the cave halfway up Xiaoguifeng.

  The afterimages flew by quickly, and the scattered first-order monsters nearby were splashed with blood, their throats were torn, and their stomachs were ripped open.

  The monster beast farther away was pierced through its body one after another.

  The two-headed monster lion roared in alarm, turned around, and led the group of monster beasts to kill the rock rat.

  The rock mouse's figure flashed quickly, avoiding the purple fireworks and the freezing air beam.

   It is also in the middle stage of the second order, fighting head-on, it is not the opponent of the two-headed demon lion.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, bring the two-headed demon lion here, and we will work together to destroy this demon."

  Ye Fei dealt with the monsters near Xiaodan Peak, the sound transmission said.

  At this moment, there are only 20 or 30 monsters scattered on the mountain, and those loose cultivators can solve them.

  Boom!

  The two-headed demon lion chased to the side of Xiaodan Peak, and suddenly fell into a poison trap.

  The ground collapsed, sharp iron thorns pierced into its flesh, and black poisonous mist erupted, covering its figure.

  The two-headed demon lion has good resistance to poison, only a little slow in movement, and the two heads erupted with purple flames and freezing air beams.

  Lu Changan dodged calmly, his whole body lit up with a blue body shield.

  He also sacrificed the top-grade magic weapon, the Diamond Bell.

   Hum! boom!

  A big golden bell, outlined in golden patterns, swelled to six or seven feet, and fell from the sky, crushing the two-headed demon lion to half its body.

  Lu Changan, as the only foundation-building mid-stage at the Wuqi Mountain site, should not be too obvious.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, well done."

  Ye Fei manipulated a set of needle-shaped instruments, taking advantage of the situation to attack the weak spot of the double-headed demon lion.

  The rock rat escapes into the ground and casts earth spells.

  The ground under the two-headed demon lion has a steep hill, forming a double-layer double-team with the diamond bell above.

Roar!

  The two-headed demon lion roared, with blood shining from its eyes, and crazily hit the diamond bell above its head. The light of the latter was indeterminate.

  If it weren't for Lu Changan's long green mana energy pulse, this demon would have almost knocked the vajra clock away.

   Next, it only takes a while to kill the two-headed demon lion whose strength is close to the second-order late stage.

  …

   "Be careful! There are monks approaching."

  Looking out of the corner of Lu Changan's eye, he looked to the side of Wu Qishan.

  Two strange Foundation Establishment cultivators quietly approached while taking advantage of the sound of fighting.

  Both of them were wearing gray clothes and bamboo hats. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could only be roughly identified as an old man and a middle-aged man.

  Ye Fei's heart skipped a beat.

  If Lu Changan hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed.

   From this point of view, Lu Changan had reservations about fighting before, and had been paying attention to the surrounding area of ​​Wuqi Mountain.

   Right now.

   Whoosh!

  In the distant sky, a red glow came.

  The two gray-robed Jian Ji looked up, their complexions suddenly changed.

   "Not good! It's a monk from Lihuo Palace!

   "Quick withdrawal..."

  The two were extremely decisive, quickly flew into the nearby forest, and fled.

  The red glow from far to near, showing a red iron boat.

  On both sides of the boat, a flame pattern composed of water droplets and small flames is engraved on each side, which is the exclusive flying magic weapon of Lihuo Palace.

  On the red iron boat, stood two foundation-builder cultivators of Lihuo Palace, a man and a woman.

   One of them is a straight and heroic young man with a late foundation cultivation.

  The women in green skirts standing side by side are beautiful and quiet, and they are in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

  The two of them flew over Wuqi Mountain, and found that Lu Changan and the two-headed demon lion were in the final moment of fighting.

  The two-headed demon lion is at the end of its battle.

  The heroic young man pondered, and sacrificed a fire-pattern long sword magic weapon.

   Whoosh!

  A scarlet rainbow fell from the sky and pierced through the head of the two-headed demon lion.

   Seeing this, Lu Changan and Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are a monk from Lihuo Palace."

  Ye Fei looked up at the red flying boat above his head, showing awe, and lowered his voice.

   "Two fellow Taoists of Wu Qishan, under the name of 'Gao Cheng', inspect the monks in the Law Enforcement Hall of Lihuo Palace, and come to investigate the clues of the 'Fox Valley' massacre."

  The way of a heroic man in the late foundation establishment period.

   "This is my junior sister, Zhuang Wenjing."

  The woman in the green skirt beside him nodded reservedly.

   "It turned out to be the Shangxiu of Lihuo Palace."

  Lu Changan stood in awe, and the two sides exchanged greetings.

  Lihuo Palace is a Nascent Soul-level force in Liang Guoxiu's Immortal Realm, and his status as a monk when he goes out is superior to others.

   "You two masters, you can move to Xiaoguifeng, Daoist Ye and I will cooperate and investigate."

  Lu Changan raised his hand in greeting.

   The body of the two-headed demon lion is handed over to the casual cultivators below.

  Lu Changan and Ye Fei are going to Xiaoguifeng.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, the two of us have limited time, so we won't sit at the house."

   Gao Cheng said lightly.

   Zhuang Wenjing on the side showed an impatient face, as if she didn't want to socialize with the two casual cultivators.

   "It's okay to talk here."

  Lu Changan's expression looked unnatural.

   "Two, please read the information in the jade tube, and then answer Gao's question."

  Gao Cheng spread out his palm, revealing something.

  The cold light suddenly appeared!

  A phantom of a dagger, like a lurking poisonous snake spewing out a letter, stabbed at Lu Changan with lightning.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu!" Ye Fei couldn't help exclaiming, the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Ding!

  A blue crystal dagger was stabbed on the golden bell, breaking the golden light on the surface, leaving a concave white mark.

  The golden bell almost stood in front of Lu Changan ahead of time.

   "Junior, when did you see it?"

   Gao Cheng missed the shot, his face was gloomy, and he made a hoarse voice that didn't match his heroic appearance.

   "I don't see any obvious flaws."

  Lu Changan patted a top-grade defensive talisman on his body, and said in a flat tone, as a matter of course:

   "We have never met before, and you are not willing to go to Xiaoguifeng, how can Lu be convinced?"

   Xiaoguifeng has a mountain protection formation, which is Lu Changan's home field.

  …

   Whoosh!

  After Gao Cheng failed to attack, Zhuang Wenjing, a female nun in a green skirt, turned into a light pink mist and flew behind Lu Changan.

   One late foundation builder and one middle foundation builder stopped Lu Changan back and forth.

  But he didn't care about Ye Fei.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, let's split up!"

  Ye Fei was overjoyed, and took a second-order middle-grade escape talisman on his body, which turned into a cloud of wind and shadow, and fled in the opposite direction.

  Lu Changan's face twitched slightly, he didn't expect to be targeted like this.

  He expected that Ye Fei would not escape so easily.

  …

  Ye Fei only escaped for two or three miles.

   Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Two gray figures approached from outside Wuqi Mountain and intercepted them.

   It was the two men in gray hats who sneaked up on them before, one old and one middle-aged.

  The gray-clothed old man has a mid-stage foundation establishment and his face is aging.

  The middle-aged gray-clothed middle-aged man has cultivated in the early stage of foundation establishment, and he has used the art of controlling puppet.

  The strong wind howled in the sky, and a second-order flying eagle puppet hovered over Ye Fei's head with its probing claws.

   "So against me?"

  Ye Fei looked like a mourning concubine, the corners of his mouth trembling.

  This kind of situation is like facing two middle stages of foundation establishment, which is more dangerous than Lu Changan.

  Lu Changan played in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment, and at least he had a second-order spiritual pet to help him.

   "Ye Yaoshi, cooperate honestly and catch him without a fight. We may save you a way out."

  The middle-aged man in gray said calmly.

   "How do you want me to make up?"

  Ye Fei laughed and opened one hand secretly.

   "I don't know what is good or bad!"

  The two gray-clothed men held their breath, holding the anti-virus talisman in their hands, and a layer of water covered their bodies.

  The surface of the water film has a layer of isolated colorless and highly poisonous, which sizzles.

  The two of them sullenly controlled the magic weapon and puppets to attack from a long distance, forcing Ye Fei into disgrace.

  Ye Fei took advantage of the terrain on the mountain, rolling in a slippery manner, activated the defensive magic weapon and talisman, and barely struggled.

  He faintly sensed that the two wanted to capture him alive, so they held back.

  …

  Compared to Ye Fei's embarrassment.

  The battle on Lu Changan's side was another story.

  He neither fled nor fought back.

  Changqing mana fully maintains the Vajra Bell, which turns into a big bell and covers itself.

  clang! clang!

  Gao Cheng was driving a golden-blue giant axe. Every time he hit it, the golden pattern on the surface of the golden clock was slightly dimmed, leaving a light mark.

   "See how long you can hold back."

  His palm was empty, and a ball of blood-colored flames fell on the golden bell, spreading and burning.

  The aura of the golden bell suddenly dimmed, and pits were eroded.

  Seeing this, Lu Changan took a picture of a top-grade talisman, and a layer of ice blue light mask was added to the golden bell to slow down the speed of destruction of the top-grade magic weapon by the **** flames.

   "Lu only needs to block longer than your companion."

  Lu Changan is not in a hurry, and Changqing's mana has a long pulse, which shows a certain advantage at this time.

   Moreover, he doesn't feel sorry for the damage of the ultimate magic weapon. There are still several pieces in the storage bag, although they are all stolen goods.

  In addition to the ultimate magic weapon, he still has a turtle puppet that he didn't take out.

   "Master, save me!"

  Not far away, Zhuang Wenjing screamed.

  The rock rat and a human puppet with a wolf's head were attacking the woman one after the other.

  This rock rat has a mutated bloodline. Not only does it know earth magic, but it is also extremely sensitive, and sometimes it comes close to kill it.

  The wolf-headed puppet of the second-tier mid-grade, carrying three silver and black javelins on its back, holding a silver and black javelin in each hand, dragging the arc, and poking at it from far and near.

  It can be poked at close range, and can be thrown at a long distance.

   Moreover, the thrown javelin can be retracted at a certain distance.

  Under the double pincer attack, Zhuang Wenjing's defensive magic weapon's aura dimmed, and the protective magic shield broke.

  Chick!

  A javelin dragged an arc, skimming her leg, leaving a trail of blood.

"Well…"

  Zhuang Wenjing's body froze, red and black spread across her fair legs.

   Poison on the javelin!

   "Yue'er!"

   Gao Cheng yelled angrily, his throat hoarse.

  Before, Lu Changan showed his hole card of a second-tier middle-grade puppet, which was unexpected, but barely acceptable.

  He embraced the strategy of making quick decisions and capturing kings and thieves, and wanted to be the first to kill Lu Changan, the puppet and pet owner.

   In the battle of Fox Valley, although the biggest hole card was lost.

  However, the later stage of foundation establishment crushed the middle stage, and with the addition of the blood flame secret technique, Gao Cheng has this confidence.

  Zhuang Wenjing is also confident that she can hold back the rock rat and the puppet for a while.

  The rock rats are not of middle-grade blood, and the attack is insufficient.

  As for the second-tier middle-grade puppets, how much combat power can their masters have to deal with in the late stage of foundation establishment?

  However, Gao Cheng miscalculated the defensive ability of Lu Changan's "Turtle Talisman".

  Zhuang Wenjing even underestimated the strength of the rock rat and the wolf-headed javelin puppet.

  Two miscalculations, resulting in irreversible remorse.

   Whoosh!

   Gao Cheng shouted angrily, and flew over to rescue Zhuang Wenjing.

  clang!

  Lu Changan activated the sound waves of the Vajra Bell, vibrating Qi and blood, making Gao Cheng's body slightly sluggish.

  He made a tactic with one hand, and thorns and vines sprang out from the nearby hills, either entangled Gao Cheng's legs, or blocked his way.

"ah…"

   On the other side, Zhuang Wenjing screamed, unable to move due to poisoning, and her heart was torn open by the rock rat.

   Poof!

  The javelin with the wolf's head pierced his abdomen again.

   "Yue'er!"

  Seeing this scene, Gao Cheng's blood surged up, blood oozes from the corner of his mouth, and his lungs coughed.

   "The injury hasn't healed yet? How dare you attack me, Wu Qishan."

  Lu Changan narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the clue.

   ——Insomnia these days, poor spirits, not enough plot ideas, today is just a big chapter, and I really don’t want to stop it.

   The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so there will be a lot of entertainment. During the Spring Festival, there will be two shifts every day.

   You can only try your best to keep updating, and you may not be able to do it. Say hello to the big guys ahead of time.
