Chapter 140 Mission
Lingjia Village.
Ling Xueer is learning "Aoki Ichi".
This was the method of cultivation taught to her by Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao tested Ling Xueer's spiritual roots and found that she possessed an extremely rare Yin spiritual root, one in a billion.
This spiritual root is particularly suitable for practicing evil-type skills.
Yu Xiao planned to teach her the "Qingmu Gong" first. After cracking the Yinshi Sect's cultivation method in the future, he would teach her the relevant skills and train her to become his agent and disciple in this world.
of course.
This is just the plan.
Ling Xueer didn't even know that the volume of "Aoki Kung Fu Volume 1" in her hand was a practice method.
Tired of watching.
His eyes swept across the village.
All I saw was curling smoke and a peaceful scene.
In the past two years, the lives of the villagers have changed dramatically. Every household has more or less stored food, and they can even eat meat every once in a while, which was a good life that they could not even imagine in the past. The one who brought all these changes was the immortal master with a mysterious origin.
It would be great if the Immortal Master could stay in the village forever.
There was a noise outside and the villagers exclaimed.
"Master Corpse!"
"not good!"
"Another corpse master is coming!"
When Ling Xueer heard these words, her face changed drastically.
She quickly put down the book and followed the villagers to the village entrance to check the situation.
The scene before my eyes.
It made her scalp tingle.
A strong sense of fear came over me.
Hundreds of zombies appeared outside Lingjia Village, all wearing identical armor, completely different from those encountered in the past, and the one in the lead was particularly eye-catching.
This corpse master was not only extremely burly, but also rode a warhorse covered in iron armor and with flames coming out of its hooves.
The Corpse Master had hair as pale as paper, skin as red as blood, and a black iron mask covered with runes on his face. His empty eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss.
"Master Corpse...Master Corpse!"
The villagers had never seen such a scene.
The Iron-faced Corpse glanced at the villagers and asked coldly, "Tell me, what happened? Where did the local corpses go? Where does the food here come from?"
The villagers knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. However, facing the oppressive feeling brought by the Iron-faced Corpse, no one stood up to speak out Yu Xiao. They instinctively did not want to betray the Immortal Master.
"You won't tell me? Very good, then you all can die!"
The Iron-faced Corpse had no patience and was too lazy to figure out whether these villagers were unaware or deliberately hiding.
Just kill.
Anyway, there are ten more nearby.
Killing their way through village after village, you will always get useful clues in the process.
however.
at this time.
A green light shot out.
Although the attack was extremely fast, the Iron-faced Corpse could still tell that it was a flying sword approaching quickly.
"Sure enough, a seeker of law has appeared!" The murderous aura suddenly surged from the Iron-faced Corpse. The reason why he brought the corpse soldiers here was because he received some clues and suspected that a seeker of law had appeared here.
Under the rule of the Red Moon Corpse Dynasty.
Mortals are only fit to be livestock and slaves.
If humans dare to try to practice cultivation, they will be committing a serious taboo and must be eradicated completely.
The Iron-faced Corpse is extremely powerful and has reached the level of perfect Qi Refining, so his reaction speed is also extremely amazing.
Not only that.
He has special means to restrain those who seek the law!
I saw a cloud of blood mist spit out of his mouth quickly. Although it was torn apart instantly when it collided with the magic sword, the Qingmang sword was also stained with a lot of blood, so that its speed and power were greatly reduced.
The cultivation level of this Dharma seeker is actually quite high!
This move can easily corrode the monk's magic weapon and cut off the spiritual connection, thus making the magic weapon lose its threat.
Although the sword was hit by the corpse's blood, it did not lose control at this moment. This shows that the cultivation level of this seeker is not only comparable to his own, but also that his mastery of magic weapons has reached a very high level.
The iron-faced corpse snorted coldly.
As the corpse qi entangled his body, his red skin turned pitch black, and he allowed the flying sword to fall on him.
Dang Dang Dang!
Amidst the crisp sounds.
The Qingmang Sword attacked the Iron-faced Corpse several times from all directions, each time with a crisp explosion, but it did not cause any damage at all. The sword light was blocked by a layer of thick and dark corpse qi.
"Got you!"
The Iron-faced Corpse rose into the air from the horse's back and struck out with a palm. The corpse aura swept through and broke Yu Xiao's invisibility, but it did not cause any damage. Instead, hot blood energy burst out from Yu Xiao's body.
The Iron-faced Corpse was shocked.
Yu Xiao punched him directly.
With a loud bang, the iron-faced corpse was knocked dozens of meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
Such strong blood!
This Dharma seeker not only has profound Dharma powers.
He actually has extremely profound attainments in martial arts!
This kind of strength is definitely not an unknown person, but among the masters of the Xuanwu City Defense Department, no one has ever heard of this person... Could he be a new master that has emerged in recent years?
“Humph, no matter who you are, as a remnant of the last era, if you dare to disobey the ruler of the Red Moon Corpse Dynasty, you are going against the will of heaven and seeking your own death!” The Iron-faced Corpse gave an order, “Kill you!”
Five or six hundred zombies launched an attack.
The Iron-faced Corpse retreated to the rear.
The weakest of these corpse soldiers is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and a small number of them are comparable to the late Qi Refining stage. They are much stronger than the ordinary wild zombies outside. When hundreds of them rush forward, they are enough to kill any Qi Refining cultivator and even threaten the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Iron-faced Corpse has no martial ethics.
When realizing that Yu Xiao is very powerful.
They attempted to use the sea of corpses tactic to wear it out.
Hundreds of corpse soldiers were not only extremely powerful, but also formed a strange battle formation. The rolling corpse gas filled the air, as if forming a cage, making it impossible for those trapped inside to escape.
This person must die!
With his strength!
It’s impossible to break this corpse formation!
However, something happened that he didn't expect.
The unknown law enforcer suddenly disappeared in the encirclement, and at the same time a stronger aura burst out from behind him.
"not good!"
"There's an ambush!"
The Iron-faced Corpse reacted very quickly.
But it was too late to withdraw the corpse soldiers.
The figure, wrapped in evil blood, arrived in an instant like a cannonball and killed the defenseless iron-faced corpse.
It is Chiyou's Dharma body.
Endless evil blood energy turned into strong energy and condensed on the five fingers of his right hand.
It took almost no effort for him to break the protective corpse qi of the Iron-faced Corpse. His five fingers were like five divine swords, piercing directly into the Iron-faced Corpse's invulnerable body, as if piercing into a ball of soft cotton, and then directly took out the corpse pill.
"what!"
The iron-faced corpse roared in fear.
Yu Xiao did not give the iron-faced corpse a chance to struggle. The moment he took out the corpse pill with his right hand, he gathered strength with his left hand and hit the iron-faced corpse.
Under the explosion of strong energy.
He didn't even have time to leave any last words.
The iron-faced corpse was blown up and turned into pieces of flesh all over the sky.
【Luck +10! 】
【Merit +1000! 】
Get it!
Killed another corpse cultivator!
The Iron-faced Corpse's cultivation is much higher than that of the Four-armed Corpse. It is very likely that it is a member of the Red Moon Corpse Dynasty. If the Four-armed Corpse is a casual cultivator, the Iron-faced Corpse is most likely a formal disciple.
When the Iron-faced Corpse was killed.
Five hundred zombie soldiers immediately lost control.
These zombie soldiers are quite powerful. Once they lose control, they will turn into bloodthirsty beasts and attack any target that can suck their blood and flesh based on instinct. They are quite dangerous.
Several nearby villages are helping Yu Xiao with his work.
So Yu Xiao didn't want them to be slaughtered and eaten.
Although it will be a bit hard, but with the Yizhou Ding to sustain the battery and Chiyou's Dharma body to assist, killing all these corpse soldiers will be a piece of cake.
Yu Xiao attacked again.
He activated the giant sword technique.
The Qingmang Sword turned into a ten-foot giant sword, which could not only chop repeatedly and continuously, but also be accompanied by green sword energy every time the sword was slashed.
The giant sword technique of the initial and minor levels cannot be too far away from the body, and cannot attack continuously.
Yu Xiao's giant swordsmanship.
It has already been accomplished at this moment.
The giant sword technique can not only launch attacks from a hundred feet away from the body.
It can also generate sword energy to cause attacks over a wider range.
With one strike of the sword, he could wipe out more than a dozen zombies that were invulnerable to swords and spears, extremely strong, and quite agile.
Yu Xiao used the fire control technique to activate the rotten bone ghost fire on the giant sword, and used sword energy to sprinkle the ghost fire on more targets.
After being touched by the green phantom fire.
The fire quickly spread and covered the entire body.
Yu Xiao discovered that the "corrupted bone will-o'-the-wisp" had a good restraining effect on zombies. The corpse gas on these zombies not only could not extinguish or block the flames, but instead became an ignition aid for the rotten bone will-o'-the-wisp.
Even with Yu Xiao's current magical attainments, he is unable to burn a large number of zombies to death at once, but he can greatly weaken the corpse aura on them.
In this way, the speed, strength, and defense of zombies will all be greatly reduced, making them very easy to kill. A large number of them can be knocked down with a few swords, which is not much different from mowing the grass.
When faced with such strong means.
These zombies instinctively tried to escape, but were attacked from the outside by Chiyou's Dharma body.
Just over a quarter of an hour.
More than 500 zombie soldiers were killed.
Not even one escaped.
Faced with a scene of corpses everywhere.
Yu Xiao was also shocked by his current methods!
After all, the strength of these 500-plus soldiers was enough to threaten a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but they were killed so easily by him!
Gained 10 points of luck in this battle!
In addition, there are 2648 merit points.
In addition, Yu Xiao also obtained more than 500 corpse pills.
The evil and blood energy released by the zombies after their death were all absorbed by Chi You's Dharma body. Not a single bit was wasted!
After this battle, Chi You's Dharma body's strength will be greatly enhanced, and the amount of materials in Yu Xiao's hands will also reach a higher level.
This batch of corpse pills is of quite high quality.
At least thirty or forty blood essence crystals can be refined.
In this way, the number of blood essence crystals in your hand can even reach about one hundred.
Blood crystal is extremely expensive!
Even if you exchange it in the sect, you will need to consume two thousand spirit stones, and one hundred pieces is a full two hundred thousand ordinary spirit stones.
Such a large amount of spirit stones.
Not to mention ordinary Qi-refining cultivators.
Even a foundation-building cultivator would not be able to take out much at once, and even if he sold everything he had, it would be difficult to cash in so many resources.
You can buy three or five Foundation Building Pills.
Of course, the supply of Foundation Establishment Pills is very scarce, and whether one can buy it is another matter.
however.
So many resources.
These are just some of the materials Yu Xiao used to break through the Blood Gang. This shows how much resources are consumed in martial arts training.
The Blood Gang Realm consumes so much energy, and as the cultivation level improves in the future, the consumption will continue to increase.
Overall.
Blood and Qi cultivation.
Or it can be said that it is the practice of body-refining monks.
The amount of resources required is five or even ten times that of an ordinary cultivator. Only in this way can one create an invincible body of the same level.
Yu Xiao returned to Lingjia Village.
First, comfort the villagers.
When the villagers learned that the Corpse Master and the corpse soldiers under his command had all been destroyed by the Immortal Master, they were shocked again.
Although I knew that the Immortal Master was very powerful.
But I didn't expect it to be so strong.
From now on, the village has the protection of the immortal master, so doesn't it have to serve the corpse master anymore?
however.
Yu Xiao is not so optimistic.
Because the Iron-faced Corpse he killed this time was obviously not an outsider, but an official or investigator from the Red Moon Corpse Dynasty. In other words.
Yu Xiao's actions since coming to this world have attracted the attention of the official forces of this world.
This time the one sent was an iron-faced corpse.
Wait for the news that the Iron-faced Corpse has been killed to come back.
No one knows what level of corpse cultivator will appear in the Black Mountain Forest next time. It is very likely to be at the Foundation Establishment level.
This is enough to bring a lot of pressure.
Of course Yu Xiao could just leave. Anyway, these zombies couldn't find out his identity. The worst that could happen was that he could move to another place to continue his cultivation.
however.
Yu Xiao, however, had no plans to leave for the time being.
Because if the next person who comes is a Foundation-Building Corpse Cultivator and sends more elite soldiers and generals, it may not be so easy to deal with.
how to respond?
Yu Xiao thought about it.
Forget it.
Run away.
Practice in a different place.
Wait until you break through the blood barrier or refine the Qi, then come back to set up an ambush and kill another wave of high-level zombies!
Left the Red Moon World.
Return to the main world.
Yu Xiao spent another half a year of leisurely life in Xiaozhu Valley.
During the past six months, Yu Xiao has spent most of his time collecting materials, refining pills, and trading resources from the two worlds for spirit stones, gaining merit through sect missions, and various market channels.
Yu Xiao collected 100 pieces of materials for Blood Yang Pills and eventually obtained 98 Blood Yang Pills through refining.
The only two failures had nothing to do with skills, but were purely the result of quality defects in auxiliary materials.
Yu Xiao still had a few Blood Yang Pills left in his hand, which meant that he had a hundred pills at the moment, which was enough.
It has been many years since I reached the Great Perfection of Blood Gang. As the saying goes, everything is ready except for the east wind.
What Yu Xiao needs to do next is to find an ideal environment for practice.
Breakthrough process.
It won’t happen overnight.
It is expected that I will be in seclusion for three to five months.
The Crimson Moon World is temporarily unavailable for use now, and the bottleneck of laws in the Great Xia World is not conducive to breakthroughs, so we can only find a place to break through in the Immortal Cultivation World.
however.
The issue is.
Breaking through such a big bottleneck would inevitably cause a huge commotion. It would be impossible to break through in Xiaozhu Valley without attracting the attention of the sect's top leaders.
Look.
You have to find a suitable reason.
I left the sect for a year and a half.
Yu Xiao then began to pay attention to the sect's missions. He wanted to stay away from the sect in the name of the mission so that he could complete the breakthrough in a low-key manner without being noticed by others.
at this time.
Received a call from Jiang Changqing.
Because of the Foundation Establishment Pill incident a year and a half ago.
This cheap master went into seclusion to recuperate and rarely appeared in public.
Yu Xiao didn't think too much about it.
Immediately return to the Jiuyang Mountain Hall.
Jiang Changqing was sitting in the main hall at this moment. He had some more white hair on his temples, but his breathing was stable and he had recovered.
"Disciple Yu Xiao greets Master!"
"No need to be polite!"
Jiang Changqing said: "Yu Xiao, I heard that you have completed a large number of alchemy tasks for various alchemy workshops in the past year. Why are you short of merit and spirit stones?"
Obviously.
Past year.
In order to collect the materials for one hundred Blood Yang Pills.
Yu Xiao once again turned into a model worker. Not only did he complete the tasks of the medicine shop very well, but he also took on a large number of medicine refining tasks from the three major medicine workshops.
Because the status of the Medicine Refining Pavilion has been improved, it can now take on intermediate-level elixir tasks and even the refining of some high-level common elixirs. It can earn an average of more than ten human-level merits every month. Such efficiency and ability are enough to attract the attention of many people.
Among them is Jiang Changqing.
Yu Xiao did not deny: "Disciple hopes to exchange for more formulas and materials so as to further improve the alchemy technique!"
Jiang Changqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. I have seen the high-level elixir you have refined and I think your alchemy skills have reached perfection."
Hear this.
Yu Xiao was slightly surprised.
His alchemy skills have indeed achieved great success and reached the highest level.
but.
He never told anyone about it.
I didn’t expect that Jiang Changqing saw through it.
When one reaches this level, the formula of any first-level elixir can be quickly mastered, and even basic second-level elixirs can be refined.
The deacons of the three major alchemy workshops are just at this level, and the average age of these deacons is over sixty years old.
Yu Xiao is only in his early forties in the world of immortal cultivation. This is enough to show that he is a promising talent in the art of alchemy, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a rough jade.
Second-level alchemist.
Even if he is just an entry-level second-level alchemist.
This kind of task is highly respected and has a high status everywhere.
Jiang Changqing said: "Master, I have a task with low risk and high return. It will take about a year. If it is successfully completed, I can get at least 10 earth-level merits."
Hear this.
Yu Xiao's heart moved.
Ten sects’ earth-level meritorious service?
This amount of merit is enough to exchange for a foundation-building technique, and of course, it can also be exchanged for the recipes of various second-level elixirs.
Regardless of the technique.
It’s still a second-level elixir recipe.
They can all be of great help to Yu Xiao's future practice. If it only takes one year and there is no risk, it is worth doing.
Jiang Changqing said directly: "My two nephews, please come out."
The voice just fell.
Two figures walked out.
One of them was none other than Lu Lingyun.
The other person, dressed in white, with a veil on her face, had a cold temperament and kept strangers away. She was a female cultivator in the foundation-building stage.
"This is……"
Yu Xiao was stunned when he saw this.
Jiang Changqing: "Junior-nephew Lu successfully completed her Qi Refining a month ago. The sect will support her to go to Luoxia City and seize the position of City Lord that originally belonged to her."
About Lu Lingyun's life experience.
Yu Xiao already had some understanding.
Lu Lingyun was born in the Song family of Luoxia City. Her real name should be Song Lingyun, but she took her mother's surname for various reasons.
This involves a rather bloody family feud.
Specific details.
Yu Xiao is not too clear now.
He only knew that the next generation heir to the city lord of Luoxia City belonged to the lineage of Lu Lingyun, but was taken away by outsiders for various reasons.
Therefore.
Lu Lingyun entered Qinglan Valley.
After twenty years of hard practice, he achieved the great perfection of Qi refining.
Something unexpected happened in Luoxia City recently. The old ancestor in the foundation-building stage passed away, and it was time for the transfer of power.
Lu Lingyun already had a legal status as the heir, and now he had the background of Qinglan Valley’s true teachings, and his own cultivation was not far from the foundation-building stage.
She will then use the power of Qinglan Valley to return to Luoxia City and take the position of city lord!
Backed by Qinglan Valley.
It is almost certain that Lu Lingyun will seize the city lordship!
Once Lu Lingyun succeeds in taking over the city lordship, Luoxia City, a city of cultivators, will naturally become a subsidiary force of Qinglan Valley.
Lu Lingyun needs the power of the sect to regain power, and the sect needs Lu Lingyun's legitimate heir status to control the city legitimately without giving anyone a reason to criticize.
Let’s do it together!
If this operation is successful.
The sect will reward Lu Lingyun with a foundation-building pill to help him build his foundation, and Lu Lingyun will also become the new lord of Luoxia City.
She will definitely become the most powerful disciple, and within two years she will become one of the youngest elders of the sect!
Yu Xiao was just confused.
Why did you find me?
"Fellow Daoist Yu, there is no need to be surprised. Luoxia City's most famous industry is alchemy. In order to avoid the impact of the industry during the change of the city lord, we need a sufficiently excellent alchemist to help."
Lu Lingyun said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Yu's alchemy skills are no less than those of the deacons of the three major alchemy workshops. If you can lend a hand, we will surely be able to quickly stabilize the situation!"
"With the help of the senior sister who is in the foundation building stage and the masters of the Red Bamboo Dojo, we will not let Fellow Daoist Yu get involved in any more fights."
"certainly……"
"If Fellow Daoist Yu is not interested, then we won't force it."
After Lu Lingyun finished speaking, he looked at Yu Xiao quietly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Obviously.
Next steps.
It's very important to her.
Lu Lingyun really hopes that her old friend can come forward to help.
of course.
This is actually a lucrative job.
The old lord of Luoxia City is dead.
Now Luoxia City has not yet established its foundation. Lu Lingyun, with his perfect Qi Refining skills, leads a group of masters from the sect to rule the city.
Who among the monk families dares to disobey?
Lu Lingyun can definitely take back the city lord's throne.
Once she becomes the mayor of a monastic city-state, the resources she controls will not be inferior to those of a sect elder.
Yu Xiao followed her at this time.
The benefits that can be obtained in the future can be imagined.
In fact, as long as Lu Lingyun made a request, she could choose any of the three deacons of the alchemy workshops, but she took the initiative to choose Yu Xiao, who had a lower cultivation level.
Yu Xiao thought about it.
He thought there was no harm in it.
Now I am at a critical moment of breakthrough, and I am worried that I can't find a place suitable for practicing low-key breakthrough.
Luoxia City is thousands of miles away.
Moreover, there has not been a single person who has established a foundation in the entire process, and it is even less likely that a Jindan Zhenren will appear. It is low-key enough to choose to break through nearby.
of course.
The task itself.
It is indeed valuable.
Just as Lu Lingyun said, she has found a sect to build the foundation and has dozens of masters in the middle and late stages of Qi training to help.
Under this situation.
How could I fail?
In fact, even if the foundation-building stage had not appeared, the name of Qinglan Valley alone was enough to intimidate the several major families in Luoxia City.
This mission was risk-free and profitable. It would only take a year or two of staying in the city, which was nothing to Yu Xiao.
therefore.
This time.
Yu Xiao did not hesitate.
He said directly: "Since Senior Sister Lu trusts me so much, I will do my best to help!"
"it is good!"
When I saw Yu Xiao finally got it.
Lu Lingyun also smiled brightly, and then she looked in the direction of Luoxia City.
Waiting for this day.
Waited for more than 20 years!
It's finally time to settle all the grudges!
(End of this chapter)
